[0:00] appreciate uh your attendance today. We will start off by having our invocation
[0:05] by Commissioner Perry.
[0:09] » Our dearly father, we come before you this time grateful for the many
[0:11] blessings that the house has blessed us with. We're grateful for the opportunity
[0:15] we have to live in this free country and here in this wonderful county.
[0:19] We ask you to please bless everyone who resides here and communities who serve
[0:23] here that be blessed and protected and that thou will continue to watch over
[0:27] us, those who serve us here in the community. We're grateful for the
[0:31] service that those first responders and military personnel provide to us. We ask
[0:36] continue to bless bless them and their families for the service that they
[0:39] provide. We ask thy spirit this day that we can accomplish the things that we
[0:43] need to accomplish here in the business of the people of Oxar County. We pray
[0:47] that thy spirit will always guide and protect us. And we pray that thou will
[0:50] bless us with the moisture that we need so we can continue to prosper and do the
[0:54] things we need to do here in the community. We say this in his name
[0:56] Christ. Amen. >> Amen.
[0:58] » We will have our pledge of allegiance given by human resource manager Jennica
[1:02] Standard. >> Algiance with me
[1:08] to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it
[1:15] stands. One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice
[1:21] for all.
[1:26] » Thank you, Commissioner Perry and Jennica. We appreciate that. I need a
[1:30] motion of approval of the minutes of the July 7th, 2026 meeting.
[1:35] » I will make a motion. >> I will make a motion to approve the
[1:40] minutes of the July 7th, 2026 meeting. >> I'll second it. We have a motion by
[1:46] Commissioner Bingham to approve the minutes of the July 7th, 2026 meeting
[1:51] and a second by Commissioner Perry. There's no further discussion. All in
[1:56] favor say I. >> I.
[1:57] » Motion passes. Thank you. Okay. Under administrative review
[2:02] reports or future agenda items. Commissioner Perry, do you have
[2:05] anything? >> No.
[2:07] » Commissioner Bingham? >> Nope.
[2:08] » I have nothing either. Uh under former agenda items, the proposal of uh island
[2:14] annexation into Garden City uh 120 or uh 12800
[2:20] North 7,000 West. Uh I'm I'm familiar with it. Scott, do you want to talk to
[2:27] it?
[2:38] » Scott Lions Community Development Department. Um, I believe all three of
[2:42] you are pretty familiar with this at this point. Uh,
[2:46] essentially what this comes down to is when when there's an annexation that is
[2:51] directly adjacent to a city boundary, that city is required to notice the
[2:56] county, but they do not need the county's approval to annex that
[3:00] property. when there is an island annexation. So, a piece of property that
[3:05] is not directly adjacent to the city's existing boundary, as is the case here,
[3:10] this piece of property is separated by a few other properties from the city
[3:14] boundary. Um, it is within just a couple hundred feet, then an island annexation
[3:20] per state code requires that both the city uh approve that annexation and that
[3:26] the county approve that annexation. So, both parties would need to approve it.
[3:30] So, with that said, the city um in your letter, you have their May 20th at their
[3:38] council meeting, they uh approved this annexation. Um and so then it would need
[3:44] to be approved by the county. Uh you don't have to approve it. Uh but it is
[3:50] being this property is already being serviced by uh Garland City's water. Uh
[3:56] the water line runs from the west side of this west side of the interstate
[4:02] actually across in front of this property and then into Garland City from
[4:05] there. Uh the letter that you have from Garland City addresses some other
[4:10] concerns regarding zoning, emergency access and services, um right-of-way
[4:16] width, snow, and also has a letter from their fire chief. Um, I think that
[4:22] addresses many of the questions that have been brought up over the last month
[4:25] and a half. Um, but yeah, that is kind of some background on that particular
[4:31] request. >> Okay. So, um, I was the one that had the
[4:35] questions and I sat down with Scott after our last meeting and I'm
[4:40] comfortable with, um, the answers that we received. So, I would um make a
[4:45] motion that we approve the proposed island annexation in the Garden City at
[4:50] 12,800 North, 700 West. >> 7,000.
[4:55] » 7,000. There is another zero. Excuse me. >> I'll second that motion.
[4:59] » We have a motion by Commissioner Bingham to approve the proposed island
[5:03] annexation into Garland City, um 12800 North, 7,000 West,
[5:11] and a second by Commissioner Uh Perry, there's no further discussion. All in
[5:17] favor say I. >> I. I.
[5:19] » Okay. Passes. Thank you very much. Uh emergency management mark.
[5:24] » Nothing new. >> We're good. Okay. Very good.
[5:28] » Nothing new that we're already dealing with.
[5:30] » Okay. Good deal. Um ARPA
[5:35] LF, we're good there. Uh, Commissioner Perry, would you like
[5:41] to take a few minutes and talk about employee recognition, please?
[5:43] » Yeah, our employees of the month are not here because they're working. Um,
[5:47] they're we we tried to get them here and they have got a busy schedule because
[5:52] our employee of the month are full-time members of our weed department. It's
[5:56] Wyatt Freeze, Courtland Richards, and Kaden Marshall. We just want to bring
[6:00] out the fact that uh they not only do they they go out and do the job, but
[6:04] they go the extra mile. They try to make sure that they're helping the farmers
[6:07] and the people who have lot land in the county um attack the weed problem that
[6:13] occurs so that it doesn't encroach upon their neighbors and go to other places
[6:16] like that and uh they put in many numerous hours. The other thing that's
[6:20] neat about these weed department that they had the weed department but they
[6:23] work with the road department and so sometimes if the road department needs a
[6:27] little extra help they can cut come across and help them out and they're
[6:30] willing to help other departments in the county out. We just wanted to recognize
[6:33] those three that uh year round are constantly uh trying to help out
[6:38] anywhere they can because during the winter months we don't have to deal with
[6:41] weeds. They have to deal with getting grants and things like that, but they
[6:44] step in and help other departments during that process. We just want to
[6:46] congratulate our weed department for being our employee of the month for the
[6:49] month of July. >> Yeah. Can I can I add as we talk to
[6:54] other uh counties, they recognize that we have a great weed department, too.
[6:59] They mention that all the time. Yep. We appreciate them and all that they do.
[7:04] We appreciate our employees. So, um, auditor's office requesting property
[7:12] tax abatement on parcel number 03-223-0034.
[7:18] Karen Wit, you guys could come up. Charlene,
[7:24] » you can move a couple chairs. That's great. Marcy,
[7:25] » sorry, Marcy, I didn't even see you. Apologize. How are you, Marcy?
[7:33] right there.
[7:49] So, this is Karen Wit. Um, she has filled out paperwork for homeowners
[7:57] tax credit. her income is above the limit
[8:02] and it is because her husband's passed away this past year and we have to
[8:08] include his income with it. >> So, um,
[8:14] do I need to in introduce myself before I start talking?
[8:18] » I think I think we know you Marcy's got it.
[8:21] » Okay, I'll let Karen talk. >> Okay.
[8:26] Um, I just He passed away in June and I just feel
[8:32] that my taxes are more than I can pay with the income that I have now.
[8:39] And so I'm lost all his other income that I
[8:45] could pay the taxes with. And so I just want my taxes reduced that I can
[8:53] pay. I don't know how to say that. I think
[8:58] you did great. >> You did great.
[9:00] » And you'll be putting him nervous. >> You'll be putting him for the circuit
[9:03] breaker in the future, right? >> Yeah. Okay.
[9:06] » She's just over the limit this year. Just over the limit. Okay.
[9:09] » Yeah. >> Yeah.
[9:10] » So, how much are we talking about, Marcy? Do you have a number?
[9:13] » Yeah. Those figures. So, we're requesting the county portion,
[9:17] which is up to $1,412
[9:22] or 50% of her property taxes, whichever is less.
[9:28] And that's what state code tells us we can do.
[9:31] » Okay.
[9:35] » Okay.
[9:41] » Okay. If you're ready for a motion, I ready for a motion. I'd make a motion
[9:44] that we uh honor this request for property tax abatement on parcel
[9:48] 03-223-0034
[9:52] for the 14, 12, or 50% or whichever is less.
[9:56] » Second. >> We have a motion by Commissioner Perry
[9:59] to approve tax abatement on parcel number 03-223-000034
[10:07] uh as explained by Marcy. Uh, and a second by Commissioner Bingham. If
[10:12] there's no further discussion, all in favor? I
[10:14] » I >> I
[10:15] » Thank you very much. >> Thank you.
[10:18] » Thank you. Thank you.
[10:23] » Okay. Public hearing on a proposed
[10:27] agricultural protection area in the Riverside area. Uh, Cape Nurse.
[10:33] » Mara, you got to go to Mara. >> Okay. Um, this particular egg protection
[10:39] was brought in for an application in April. There are 55 parcels totaling
[10:45] 2,24.82 acres. Um, all notices have been sent
[10:51] out to those within 1,000 ft. Um, and it has been sent to planning, zoning, and
[10:58] the agricultural board um for review. And all parcels were found to be in the
[11:04] AHZ zone. And um
[11:10] I guess that's it. If you want to open the public hearing,
[11:15] » make a motion that we open a public hearing.
[11:18] » I'll second it. >> Protection.
[11:19] » We have a motion to open a public hearing and a second by Commissioner
[11:23] Bingham. Open a public hearing by Commissioner Perry. Second by
[11:27] Commissioner Bingham. Public hearing is now open.
[11:32] invites
[11:36] to come speak.
[11:43] » Okay. Diana Hardy Bighgam. Um the boxer committee of liberty opposes
[11:48] agricultural protection areas because they are unconstitutional.
[11:53] Landowners are already protected under the Utah Constitution Article 1, Section
[11:57] 1 and Article 1, Section Two. Our government is bringing fear upon the
[12:02] land owners to make them think if they are not put in an agricultural
[12:06] protection area they are not protected. Our rights come from God not man or
[12:11] government. Government was instituted among men for the protection of our
[12:15] ineligible rights given by God. The Utah state legislature is violating their
[12:20] oath oaths by creating quasi government agencies. We are a republic and we elect
[12:27] our representatives, not appoint them. Representatives keep violating their
[12:32] oath of office by going along to get along instead of being the checks and
[12:36] balance to make sure their state representatives are following the US
[12:40] both the US and state constitutions as well as themselves. It is extortion for
[12:46] the government to acquire to require land owners to pay a fee in order as the
[12:51] state and local representatives say to have protection. As the saying goes, I'm
[12:57] here for them. I'm here from the government and I'm here to help.
[13:01] Government wants to regulate and control. They are not. They and they are
[13:06] doing this by usurping power they do not have. The land owners are being deceived
[13:11] by their own government because they lack the knowledge that what the
[13:14] government is doing is unconstitutional. Government is taking advantage of the
[13:19] people due to their lack of knowledge of both the US and state constitutions and
[13:23] our true and correct history. The government-run education system has not
[13:27] educated the people correctly. Only the honest in heart will be able to restore
[13:32] a republic form of government. Thank you.
[13:38] Okay. Is there anybody else that would like to talk to this?
[13:43] If not, I need a motion to close public hearing.
[13:46] » Make a motion we close the public hearing on the egg protection area.
[13:51] » Second. >> We have a motion to close the public
[13:53] hearing on the eye protection area. A second by Commissioner uh by
[13:58] Commissioner Bingham or Commissioner Perry. Second by Commissioner Bingham.
[14:01] All in favor? I. >> Public hearing is closed.
[14:11] resolution. Yep. Need a motion.
[14:18] » All right. I'd make a motion that we pass resolution
[14:22] 26-23 approving a proposed um agriculture protection area.
[14:28] » I'll second that. We have a motion to approve the
[14:32] annexation uh or the proposed agricultural
[14:36] agricultural protection area by Commissioner Perry and a second by
[14:42] Commissioner Bingham. All in favor? >> I I motion passes. Thank you.
[14:50] Okay. uh Children's Justice Center state
[14:56] contract uh number 2632 for the fiscal year of 2027 and Sterling Marks hasn't
[15:02] come talk to us. How you doing Sterling?
[15:11] » Sterling Marks for the Boxiller County Children's Justice Center.
[15:17] Um just a requirement as we do new contracts each year that we come before
[15:22] the commission to to get that contract signed uh which is between the state and
[15:29] um our county. So just showing our commitment to
[15:35] to be partners in in helping to protect the kids of our county. So
[15:43] any questions about it?
[15:48] Commissioners, do you have any questions?
[15:51] » I don't think it's changed dramatically. So,
[15:54] » yeah. I didn't get that either. >> Nope. I I make a motion to approve the
[15:59] Children's Justice Center state contract 2632 for fiscal year 2027.
[16:04] » Second. >> We have a motion to approve Children's
[16:07] Justice Center state contract number 26-32
[16:11] for the fiscal year of 2027 by Commissioner Perry. and a second by
[16:16] Commissioner Bingham. All in favor say I.
[16:19] » I. >> I.
[16:20] » Okay. Thank you very much. Appreciate your time.
[16:23] » Okay. Uh updates on county meeting schedule. Commissioners, I think you
[16:28] » I've got it here if you want to. >> So, just what I'd like to do is I'm
[16:32] going to make a motion. We're going to change the county commission schedule
[16:36] and I'll kind of explain what we're going to do. We can't right now. We'll
[16:39] continue to have our August 12th commission meeting. That'll be our next
[16:41] one. That'll be our afternoon one. Then we will cancel our second commission
[16:46] meeting during the month of August, which is August 26, which is the middle
[16:49] of fair week. And instead, we'll then adjust our schedule from there moving
[16:55] forward for the remainder of the year, September, October, November, and
[16:59] December, and do the first and third Wednesdays of those months as commission
[17:03] meetings with the similar type of schedule. the afternoon um meeting being
[17:07] the late afternoon meeting or evening meeting being on the 1st and then the
[17:12] afternoon meeting the daytime meeting being on the 2nd or the third Wednesday
[17:16] of the month in there. So schedule would go as follow. We would cancel August
[17:19] 26th. Then we would have a September 2nd, September 16th, October 7th,
[17:24] October 21st, November 4th, and then on this in November, rather than being the
[17:31] third Wednesday, we will do the third we'll do the third Tuesday, which is
[17:35] November 17th. We'll move our commission meeting to that day in order to hold the
[17:40] canvas for the election that will be held in November. We can do the canvas,
[17:44] follow it up with the commission meeting immediately afterwards. So that would
[17:47] change it to the 17th and then we'll have December 2nd and December 16th
[17:51] would be our commission meetings for the remainder of the 2026 year. That's my my
[17:56] motion. >> Second.
[17:58] » We have a motion by Commissioner Perry to adjust our commission meeting
[18:03] schedule. A second by Commissioner Bingham.
[18:06] » All in favor say I. >> I.
[18:08] » I. >> That'll make it so we're not meeting on
[18:10] Christmas and Thanksgiving and other dates. So yeah, that's as well as
[18:14] » we could we could have Christmas here if you wanted.
[18:16] » Yeah. Well, my wife would not appreciate that.
[18:21] » Okay. Um Indigent Defense Commission uh grant
[18:28] agreement 20 number 2634 or 26-34
[18:34] by Michael McInness. How are you? >> Good morning.
[18:37] » Good to see you. Michael McInness is here for the uh cash and boxelder public
[18:41] defenders office. So on the agenda today we have a few
[18:46] contracts and we also have our grant agreement from the IDC which is the
[18:50] Indian defense commission. Just to update the commission the IDC uh they
[18:57] continued all of our grants from last year. So they approved those. We didn't
[19:00] lose any grants which is positive since the IDC hasn't received funding uh from
[19:05] the state. So, and and there's a lot of work that goes into those grants. I also
[19:10] want to that goes into our part, but I also want to thank Charlene and her
[19:13] office. They do a huge part of that as well. A lot of her staff does the f the
[19:17] finance and the numbers of that. So, that was all taken care of and and
[19:20] approved.

[19:51] and a second by Commissioner Perry. All in favor say I.

[21:11] agreement, um, the grant agreement plus our current
[21:14] budget is not enough to cover the increases in these following contracts.

[24:36] amendment unzone to MG-EX. And Scott's going to come talk to us
[24:42] about all these. Thanks, Scott.
[24:48] Okay. Scott Lions Community Development. Uh this ordinance 662.
[24:54] This is uh request for a two parcels um in the Hansel
[25:04] Valley area to be reszoned from the unzoned to the MGEX which is mining
[25:09] corey sand and gravel excavation zone. Uh the two parcels total 1,240.5
[25:18] acres in size. Um the two parcels uh are used for agriculture and uh
[25:28] historic gravel excavation. Um the property to the north, southeast, and
[25:33] west is all unzoned. And this application went to the planning
[25:38] commission uh at their July meeting last week. A public hearing was held. Uh
[25:43] there were a few comments. All comments were in support of the request requested
[25:49] reszone and the planning commission uh found that it meets the approval
[25:54] standards established in our code. I'll go through those real quickly. Uh when
[26:00] reviewing for a change in zoning, the following four approval standards uh are
[26:06] to be considered. whether the proposed uh amendment is consistent with goals,
[26:12] objectives, and policies of the county's general plan. Whether the proposed
[26:15] amendment is harmonious with the overall character of existing development in the
[26:19] vicinity of the subject property. The extent to which the proposed amendment
[26:23] may adversely affect adjacent property and the adequacy of facilities and
[26:28] services intended to serve the subject property, including but not limited to
[26:33] roadways, parks and recreation facilities, police and fire protection,
[26:37] schools, storm water drainage systems, water supplies, and wastewater and
[26:41] refuge collection. Uh so as stated, the planning commission held their public
[26:45] hearing uh reviewed those approval standards and have forwarded a
[26:51] recommendation of approval on this request.
[26:55] » Yeah, Scott, can you tell me I noticed on here that um when you're looking at
[26:59] that they originally wanted a lot more than that and then they downsized. Do
[27:03] you know what the >> are they going to come back and ask for
[27:07] more? >> They are here. They're more than welcome
[27:08] to answer that. But yeah, the original request came in with six parcels and uh
[27:13] a little bit after that original request they decided to scale it back in size um
[27:17] down to just two parcels. >> Okay. No, no discussion in planning
[27:20] commission about that. Just >> No. Yeah. By the time it got to planning
[27:23] commission, it was scaled down and uh just the the uh 1,240.5
[27:31] acres is what was considered at the planning commission level.
[27:36] » Okay. So, you're ready for a motion? Ready for a motion? Yes, sir.
[27:40] » I would make a motion to approve ordinance number 662, zoning map
[27:44] amendment from unzone to MG-EX. >> I'll second it. We have a motion by
[27:51] Commissioner Bingham and a second by Commissioner Perry to approve ordinance
[27:56] number 662, zoning map amendment unzone to MG-Eex
[28:03] as uh information given to us by Scott Lions. All in favor say I.
[28:08] » I. >> Motion passes.
[28:13] » Uh, next item is the ordinance 664. This is a text amendment that addresses
[28:20] multiple uses, mult multiple sections of the uh, county land use code. Uh, so as
[28:27] you've heard from us before, occasionally what we'll do in our office
[28:31] is the land use code is essentially a living document. um constantly receiving
[28:36] adjustments and things like that. Uh also state code is a living document
[28:42] constantly receiving adjustments. So with those two things um always being
[28:46] changed uh there are a variety of reasons that we may need to come back
[28:52] with kind of a group uh change like this. So, we kind of keep tabs on
[28:58] different sections when we realize numbering is off or we realize there's
[29:02] conflicting uh sections of our code and our code or our code and state code and
[29:09] we make note of those and then you know whether it's uh two, three, four times a
[29:13] year, we'll kind of cluster those together in one amendment and bring
[29:16] those to the planning commission for their review and then uh once they've
[29:21] had a chance to review it, hold a public hearing, then we'll bring them to you
[29:25] for final approval. approval. So, uh, as you go through these amendments, uh, the
[29:31] they were all included in your packet, but it's everything from, uh, changes in
[29:37] numbering. So, section 2-2180 is a reference uh, in one section of our
[29:43] code, and it should be 2-2190. So, it's just changing those numbers. state code
[29:48] in uh November of last year, the county section of state code that applies to us
[29:53] went from 1727A to 1779. And so uh there's multiple sections in
[30:00] our code that reference 1727A of SE of state code and we've had to go in and
[30:06] change those to 1779 so they're consistent with the new location of
[30:10] state code. Um, we found that there were regulations for flag lots were addressed
[30:18] in two separate sections of our code. Uh, one in five-1 and one in uh 6-1. One
[30:25] of those applies to all areas of the county. One of those applies to new
[30:28] developments. And those two sections uh had conflicting requirements. So we went
[30:34] through those requirements and uh made them consistent with one another and
[30:40] then asked the planning commission to review those and uh then put that those
[30:46] consistent regulations uh in those locations. Um something that the
[30:52] planning commission did want to address that is new uh protection strips. uh
[31:01] they wanted to clarify. So, historically in the county, uh we haven't permitted,
[31:06] at least in the 15 and a half years I've been here, have not permitted protection
[31:09] strips. A protection strip is when a uh usually what happens, it's when a
[31:15] developer puts in a new development and at the end of their where their road
[31:19] ends, they'll create a parcel that's about a foot wide. Um and they'll
[31:24] maintain ownership of that parcel. That's essentially their way of not
[31:29] allowing that road to extend into the adjacent property without that adjacent
[31:34] property paying them uh you know handsomely for access to that road. Uh
[31:40] so we one of our planning commissioners
[31:44] came to us and said hey we should do away with the or make it clear that we
[31:51] don't allow protection strips actually include that in our code instead of just
[31:55] having that as a historically we haven't allowed these things. So, that's one
[32:00] thing that was added. Uh, a clarification in our development code
[32:04] section that, uh, makes it clear that a developer can't begin work on site
[32:11] until, um, the subdivision has been approved. Uh, we've seen some developers
[32:18] starting work without uh, final approval on the subdivision, trying to get a
[32:23] little bit of a head start. Uh but we wanted to be clear that site prep work
[32:27] shouldn't get started until they've sat down and had a pre-construction meeting
[32:30] with all you know myself, the county roads department, the county engineer.
[32:35] We generally have one meeting with all all departments involved uh and the
[32:40] developer and his contractor. So um also another one is violation on property.
[32:46] So, if there's a current violation on a property that's going through the
[32:50] enforcement procedure that the the uh landowner can't is not uh
[33:01] no land use permit or building permit would be issued on that property until
[33:05] that violation has been cured. Um, we have another one of our zones or
[33:12] three I should say three of our zones, the MU zone. Um, MU160, MU80, MU40. Each
[33:18] of those zones, we've had different areas of our code where they're called a
[33:23] mixeduse zone or a multipleuse zone. Um, and so we went in to make those
[33:29] consistent. And what we proposed to the planning commission is that we actually
[33:33] call it a minimal use zone because those zones being the large acreage and the
[33:37] description for those zone, if you read what the intention of those zones is,
[33:41] you often find them um on hillsides or in areas uh like out west where you have
[33:49] very little infrastructure to support development. Um, and so instead of
[33:54] calling them a mixeduse zone, which is commonly referred to in land use as like
[34:00] commercial and residential as a mixeduse zone, uh, or calling it a multiple use
[34:05] zone, which could be confusing, uh, we proposed to rename it to a minimal use
[34:11] zone. Planning commission very much liked that idea. It makes the purpose of
[34:16] the zone uh, much more clear. Uh, so that was forwarded on as well. Um
[34:23] and then finally uh the last proposed change was regarding noticing
[34:30] requirements just bringing those more consistent with state code. So state
[34:35] code on a uh public noticing for zoning map amendments
[34:40] uh requires that the property owners are are noticed. Uh we have always noticed
[34:46] the property owners uh as well as adjacent property owners. Um, so we
[34:52] would like to continue to notice adjacent property owners. We feel it's
[34:55] helpful to have uh their feedback and input. Uh, but on we've seen we've had
[35:01] some zoning map amendments over the last couple years that are much larger in
[35:06] size and it has been very taxing to notice the property owners and the
[35:10] adjacent property owners. It's turned into hundreds if not thousands of
[35:14] notices. So, we're proposing on these very large uh zoning uh map amendments,
[35:21] uh we're proposing areas over 5,000 acres that uh the just the property
[35:28] owners are noticed, not the adjacent property owners.
[35:32] So, all of those went to the planning
[35:35] commission at their meeting last week. Public hearing was held. Um there I
[35:40] believe there was no comment on those at the public hearing. The planning
[35:45] commission found that the proposed amendment meets the approval standards
[35:50] and they forwarded a recommendation of approval.
[35:53] » Okay. With that in mind, I'll make a motion to approve ordinance 664 text
[35:58] amendment multiple sections of the land use code.
[36:02] » I'll second it. We have a comm we have a motion by Commissioner Bingham and a
[36:06] second by Commissioner Perry to approve ordinance number 664 text amend
[36:11] amendment amendment multiple sections of the land use code as explained by Scott
[36:17] Lions. There's no further discussion. All in favor?
[36:20] » I. >> Motion passes. Thanks Scott.
[36:25] » Okay. Next one is ordinance 659 zoning map amendment. Uh this is a reszone uh
[36:32] from the RR5 zone to the RR20 uh zone. The RR20 zone, not to be confused with a
[36:39] 20 acre zone, it is actually a 20,000 square foot zone. So approximately a
[36:44] halfacre zone. Um what happened on this one is the current property owners, they
[36:52] acquired the home approximately five years ago and they are now attempting to
[36:58] sell the home and uh their lender reached out to our department and found
[37:05] out that the parcel the home sits on is actually an illegal parcel. if the home
[37:10] were to burn down, uh, they would not be eligible for a rebuild building permit.
[37:16] Um, and so they asked, okay, what can be done to correct this situation? And
[37:23] really the two options are to either being that it's in an RR5 zone, rural
[37:29] residential 5acre zone, it's a halfacre parcel, they would need to acquire an
[37:33] additional 4 and a half acres to come into compliance with the zone or they
[37:37] would need to change the zoning to a halfacre zone to be in compliance with
[37:41] the zone. Uh so they've requested the uh RR20 being a halfacre zone. Um, and that
[37:51] was taken to the planning commission. Planning commission held a public
[37:54] hearing last week on it. Um, like I said in the staff report, comments were
[38:00] generally in support of that change. Uh, the residents in the area understood
[38:05] that that home has been in play. The home was built 45 years ago, I think is
[38:11] what I said, constructed 1976 to 77. um zoning was adopted in 78 and then the
[38:18] home was split off from the farm in ' 84. So it was about 6 years later that
[38:23] split is what created the illegal parcel. Um so the neighbors understand
[38:29] that it's just bringing this into compliance. The the concern that was
[38:32] brought up a few times during the public hearing was that this didn't set some
[38:35] sort of precedence in the Bothwell area of halfacre zoning on a larger scale.
[38:41] With that said, the planning commission uh following the public hearing, they
[38:46] went through the approval standards. They found that it met the four approval
[38:49] standards. Um and that they also requested that this particular ordinance
[38:56] include a statement that the property only owner only desires to bring the
[39:02] property in compliance with with uh current zoning ordinances and it's no
[39:06] way trying to set a precedent to reszone other properties in both. Uh so that was
[39:12] added to this specific ordinance. Any questions?
[39:18] » Nope. I'll make a motion that we approve ordinance 659 zoning map amendment
[39:24] reszone from RR5 to RR20. >> I'll second it.
[39:28] » We have a motion by Commissioner Bingham, a second by Commissioner Perry
[39:32] to approve ordinance number 659 zoning map amendment reszone from RR5 to
[39:40] RR20 as discussed by Scott Lions. If there's no further discussion, all in
[39:45] favor say I. >> I.
[39:46] » Motion passes. Thanks, Scott. >> Okay, next item is agreement 2642.
[39:54] Uh you should have received a cover letter as well as copy of agreement and
[39:59] map um regarding this. So this this agreement would be with a company
[40:04] Rotherm. Uh this is a geothermal lease for subsurface resource development. Um
[40:14] so essentially if you if you look at that map in the proposal uh the the
[40:22] Rotoirm is looking at they're working towards leasing properties from
[40:29] basically west of Honeyville to west of Brigham City. Uh there's a large
[40:34] geothermal pocket in that area that has uh you know no geologists I don't know
[40:41] how long it's existed but it has been ha it has had interest and has had test
[40:46] wells drilled and different things like that uh for decades and decades going
[40:52] back to 60s7s somewhere in that time. Um the temperatures that have come from
[40:59] those test wells have uh my understanding is have never been quite
[41:03] hot enough for uh previous geothermal technology. With newer technologies are
[41:09] that are coming out it it uh they can function on that the temperatures that
[41:15] are there. Uh so with that said, Rotom uh one of the companies that uses these
[41:21] newer technologies has or is in the process of working with land owners
[41:27] throughout that corridor that pocket to lease uh the subsurface uh resource
[41:34] development rights. Um where it comes to the county is we
[41:39] essentially have a spiderweb of roads throughout that area, right? So they're
[41:43] leasing property property and then they hit a road and they need to subsurface,
[41:50] you know, go underneath that road and then property property road. So what
[41:54] this uh proposed lease does, it would lease the land beneath the road for them
[42:02] to extend their infrastructure from the north end of that pocket to the south
[42:07] end of that pocket. Um anyway, questions
[42:14] » I can't answer them. Glenn can answer them. The the attorney's office has
[42:17] reviewed this agreement. Um as well as the applicant or the the the uh Rotoirm,
[42:23] they are here as well. Uh and they would be happy to answer.
[42:26] » Well, I think we ought to have the Rotom guy come up and talk a little bit about
[42:29] to this. I think that would be appropriate. You know, one of the things
[42:32] that's interesting, I've had some uh citizens that
[42:36] three citizens have called me and asked me kind of about it. You know, we talk
[42:40] about it's two miles down and so, you know, obviously we have some I you know,
[42:47] just ideas. Is it like an aquifer or we drilling down into it somewhere else?
[42:52] and and so I just think for our citizens it'd be good to have kind of a little
[42:56] bit of an idea what it is and and and what you're doing, what is the impact of
[43:00] the properties and those type of things. And so anyway, we're glad to have you
[43:04] here. >> Thanks for having me. It's uh Michael
[43:06] Dabs with Rotherm Energy Corporation. So we are what we call a waterless
[43:11] geothermal system. Um we're not your traditional geothermal. We operate on a
[43:15] much lower temperature and you're totally correct. What we do is we drill
[43:19] down 2 miles and then we go horizontally for two to three miles and then we
[43:22] connect those horizontal wells. So essentially what we're creating um and
[43:26] this simplifies it is the back of your fridge 2 miles below the ground. So if
[43:31] you look at the back of your fridge, it has a bunch of coils that gets rid of
[43:34] heat and it has a compressor. What we're doing is we're taking that compressor
[43:37] out. We're putting in a turbo expander and we're attracting the heat. So we we
[43:42] pump down a liquid refrigerant, the same one in the back of your fridge. It goes
[43:46] down as a liquid. It collects heat two miles out and two miles back. It turns
[43:51] into a gas, comes up up the hole really really fast, turns the turbo expander.
[43:56] We condense it. We throw it back down and we recycle that fluid millions and
[44:00] millions of times. Our surface footprint is about 3 to four acres for a
[44:04] production pad. And that 3 to 4 acres can generate heat from surrounding area
[44:09] of about 960 acres. So our footprint is very very small.
[44:16] Does that answer some of your questions? >> Yeah.
[44:18] » Okay. >> Do you have that in writing?
[44:22] » We do. Yeah. Yeah, we do. >> But I should clarify that this
[44:26] agreement, the lease agreement is just the ability to use that property
[44:34] underground. It does not any sort of permitting or anything like that. They
[44:38] would still need to go through any state permits and county land use permits,
[44:42] which is where more of the details of that uh site locations and things where
[44:47] the wells are going to be and different things like that will actually be
[44:50] located, what those will look like as far as the access and uh you know,
[44:55] everything else that gets reviewed during uh site plan review would be
[44:59] addressed at that phase. >> And I've actually had the opportunity to
[45:02] look at some of your agreements. Um what I what I think would be really
[45:07] good what I would like to see you do is have because the people that have come
[45:10] and talked to me they have this agreement right and they're looking at
[45:13] it and you know they're looking at this going what what the heck is this and
[45:17] trying to understand well they bring it to me and want me to understand it and
[45:20] I'm kind of in the same place and so Scott and I had a conversation
[45:24] the other day about well this morning about this and so I just think
[45:28] especially those people um where you're going to you're going to
[45:34] under their ground, maybe giving them some type of a a a sheet explaining to
[45:40] them what this really is. Because the packet that I looked at, it just talked
[45:44] about the agreement, but it didn't really I mean, it was there was some
[45:48] information in there, but a lot of people when it gets real technical and
[45:52] they would like it more in layman's terms so they kind of have a better
[45:55] understanding and I would like to see that happen.
[45:58] » Sure. So, but >> well, we've been we've been actively
[46:01] meeting with every landowner that will answer our calls.
[46:04] » Yeah. Both. >> And we and the three that I've talked
[46:06] to, all three had packets, but in the packet really the explanation, so I've
[46:11] got one of the packets and I just took a few minutes to read through it and I was
[46:14] like, "Wow." >> So, any feedback, we're welcome to.
[46:18] Okay. We're we're literally we've only been here since about August of last
[46:22] year. So, uh, we're super happy to work with everybody and we if somebody wants
[46:26] to meet with us, we're meeting with everybody that
[46:28] » No. And I and I appreciate I mean the people I've talked to, you know, were
[46:32] they just didn't quite understand what it was. Yeah.
[46:34] » Not that they weren't, >> you know, willing to willing to allow
[46:38] it. They just were kind of concerned as to what it was. And so,
[46:40] » so one question then, you have you say you're going to have a three or four
[46:43] acre footprint. >> Yes.
[46:45] » And so you're generating power. So you're going to have transmission lines
[46:48] that go from that point. Then you'd have to then get approval.
[46:52] Correct.
[46:56] » And and all of those details would be addressed at the land use permitting
[46:59] phase. >> Okay.
[47:01] » So,
[47:08] as far as this item goes, if you so choose to approve the agreement, uh it
[47:12] would be that agreement 2642 and there is a memorandum uh that goes
[47:18] along with that agreement. So we'd have to approve the memorandum
[47:23] as well. >> Correct.
[47:27] » And to clarify that memorandum uh that was not included in your packet.
[47:33] Uh but the attorney's office has reviewed that memorandum. Uh there was
[47:38] an understanding that it was unnecessary, but we've since talked
[47:43] about it and it is necessary. Uh, I guess the memorandum is what gets
[47:48] recorded in the recorder's office to establish
[47:53] essentially establish that lease. >> And so this this agreement just allows
[47:58] them to move forward, but it does not they're still going to have to come for
[48:01] permitting and all those type of things. >> Correct.
[48:03] » Okay.
[48:06] » So I would Are you ready for a motion? >> Yes, sir. I will make a motion that we
[48:10] approve agreement 26-42 with Rototherm Utah geothermal and the
[48:17] memorandum associated with it. >> I'll second it.
[48:21] » We have a motion by Commissioner Bingham and a second by Commissioner Perry to
[48:25] approve agreement number 26-42 Rototherm Utah geothermal lease
[48:32] with the memorandum as uh discussed. If there's no further discussion, all in
[48:39] favor say I. >> I.
[48:40] » I. >> Yeah.
[48:43] » Thank you very much. Appreciate your explanation.
[48:45] » No problem.
[48:50] » Uh, next item, ordinance 663. So, this is another zoning map amendment. Um,
[48:58] this one is on the coattails of many other zone changes that have come before
[49:03] you over the last few months. Uh this applicant is requesting that uh his
[49:09] parcel consisting of 74.1 acres be zoned from the unzoned to the agricultural
[49:16] heritage zone. Um he is in an area third ward area west of
[49:22] Lwood where uh group reszone came in. he was not aware of that uh group reszone
[49:29] application or some somehow missed out on it, but did want to join his
[49:33] neighbors in zoning his property to the agricultural heritage zone. Uh the land
[49:38] use surrounding this specific parcel uh is all agriculture and the zoning
[49:45] surrounding this parcel to the uh north and west is unzoned and to the south and
[49:51] east is zoned agricultural heritage zone as part of that group effort a few
[49:56] months back. Um, the planning commission held a public hearing last week on this
[50:03] and uh there I'm trying to remember if there
[50:07] was any public comment on it. There was no public comment uh in opposition to
[50:11] it. I don't believe there was any public comment on this specific item. Um the
[50:16] planning commission did go through the approval standards uh whether the
[50:20] proposed amendment is consistent with goals, objectives, and policies of the
[50:23] county's general plan. whether the proposed amendment is harmonious with
[50:27] the overall character of the existing development in the vicinity of the
[50:31] subject property and the extent to which the proposed amendment may adversely
[50:35] affect adjacent property as well as the adequacy of facilities and services
[50:39] intended to serve the property. They found that this proposal met each of
[50:44] those approval standards and they based on those findings they forwarded a
[50:48] recommendation of approval. So, I'll make a motion that we approve
[50:53] ordinance 663 zoning map amendment unzoned to a Heritage Zone.
[51:00] » I'll second it. >> We have a motion by Commissioner Bingham
[51:02] and a second by Commissioner Perry to approve ordinance number 663 zoning map
[51:08] amendment from unzoned to a Heritage Zone. If there's no further discussion,
[51:14] all in favor say I. >> I. Motion passes. Thank you.
[51:18] » Thanks, Scott. Appreciate your time.
[51:22] Okay, the fire department going to talk a little bit about ordinance 6 number
[51:28] 661. Kevin's going to talk to us about that. How you doing, Kevin?
[51:32] » Good. How are you? >> Good.
[51:38] Uh, this one is for uh I've had it in the past for wildland urban interface uh
[51:45] sprinkler systems. kind of a grant system to help offset some of the costs
[51:48] for installing a sprinkler suppression system. Uh this time I wanted to include
[51:54] not just the WOOI area but some of the other area for some of the sprinklers
[51:58] that we're getting. >> Okay.
[52:01] » Budget permitting.
[52:05] » I'll make a motion we approve ordinance 661.
[52:10] » I'll second it. We have a motion by Commissioner Perry and a second by
[52:14] Commissioner Bingham to approve ordinance 661.
[52:19] If there's no further discussions, all in favor say I.
[52:22] » I. >> Thank you. That passes. Thanks, Kevin.
[52:28] And I guess the next one is agreement 2633.
[52:33] » This one is bringing Thatcher Penrose fire uh completely underneath us. They
[52:38] have been overseen by the water department out there. Uh the water
[52:42] department can't fund them legally. They can't they really don't want the
[52:47] liability on their hands and so therefore thatcher is pretty well broke.
[52:52] So they want to come underneath us. We'll provide their help provide
[52:56] training uh equipment and >> it's great.
[53:00] » Watch them grow. >> Good.
[53:02] We need a motion. Make a motion to approve the agreement 26-33 for the
[53:07] assumption of fire protection services and transfer of assets for the Thatcher
[53:10] Penrose area. >> Second.
[53:12] » We have a motion by Commissioner Perry and a second by Commissioner Bingham to
[53:16] approve agreement number 26-33 for assum assuming fire protection
[53:22] services and transfer of assets as presented by Kevin Lloyd. If there's no
[53:27] further discussion, all in favor say I. I.
[53:31] » Motion passes. >> Thanks. Appreciate Kevin.
[53:35] Okay. Um the treasur's office requesting forgiveness of fees and penalties on
[53:40] parcel number 03-051-0110
[53:48] for Tiffany Reman. >> How are you?
[53:51] » Good. How are you? >> Good.
[53:53] Um, so I have a small parcel that um is like a little triangle piece in front of
[54:01] my driveway on the west side of my house. And when I originally moved into
[54:05] the house um you know, we had these two parcels that weren't put together. Um
[54:11] and so inevitably I get this stating you didn't you didn't pay for
[54:16] this small parcel, but I've been paying um I have it on autopay every month. um
[54:22] with the treasur's office to pay my property taxes. And I just I'm in the
[54:27] process of including this um with Robert Fain up in Manoway. He's over um
[54:34] planning and zoning. So, he's going to help me um combine
[54:39] these two parcels into one so that I don't have this struggle. Um this is
[54:44] like the second notice I've I've received this second year. I've received
[54:48] a late notice for delinquent delinquency of property tax, but like I said, it
[54:53] gets lost in the shuffle because it's not included on that original um lot of
[55:00] mine. So, I was just hoping to just beg for forgiveness with this fee and get it
[55:05] fixed so that we don't have this trouble next year.
[55:08] » Okay, Sean, you want to come and talk to us a
[55:12] little bit, please? >> And I have this map she showed me. It's
[55:17] just this little tiny slice right there. >> Okay.
[55:21] » But um >> what what is owed on this?
[55:24] » Um >> what is owed?
[55:26] » Yeah, the the fees and the fine >> $62.
[55:29] » Yeah, as of today is $61.85 of that $61.85.
[55:36] Uh $26
[55:41] is penalties and interest. She told me up in the office it was $19
[55:47] for debt. >> Um,
[55:50] » this is the original amount I believe. >> Yeah, the original tax was 1901 this
[55:54] year, 1704 last year. Both years are unpaid. So, I'm adding two penalties at
[56:01] $10 each and then interest of 426 and 154.
[56:06] » So, if we were to wave the penalties and interest, we'd be waving $26. Is that
[56:10] correct? >> That's correct. Oh, I thought it was
[56:12] like I thought it was more than that, but
[56:14] » And then you're still going to work on getting that all put together. So,
[56:17] » it's already >> Robert thing's working on that for you.
[56:20] » What's that? >> Did you say
[56:22] » Robert? Yes. I've emailed him everything and he's just he's working on getting it
[56:26] taken care of. >> Well, yeah, that's I hope we can get
[56:28] that because we just don't want you have to come back next year.
[56:30] » No, I don't want to come back. I just I mean I've told them I said this has been
[56:35] a pain to have these two. >> I'm sure
[56:37] » these two and this is just a little small section of um like like I said
[56:43] it's right in front of my mailbox and it just gets forgotten about.
[56:45] » Yeah. >> Because it's not added to my property
[56:47] tax. >> Sure.
[56:49] » So >> sense.
[56:51] » Okay. Commissioners, I need a motion. I'd make a motion that we forgive the
[56:55] fees and penalties on parcel 03-051-0110.
[57:02] » Second. >> We have a motion to forgive the
[57:04] penalties and fees by uh Commissioner Perry and a second by Commissioner
[57:10] Bingham on parcel number 03-051-0110.
[57:17] Tiffany Reman. All in favor say I. >> I.
[57:20] » I. Thank you.
[57:22] » Thank you.
[57:26] » Okay, we're now to our public comment period.

[58:19] Okay. Deanna Hardy Bighgam. The Boxella Committee of Liberty opposes quai
[58:25] government agencies. Our republic is being destroyed from within from all
[58:29] these quasi government agencies which are unconstitutional because the boards
[58:33] are appointed not elected. These quasi government boards tax the people without
[58:38] their consent. Therefore, you have taxation without representation. The
[58:42] same problem our founding fathers incurred by King George III and the
[58:46] British Parliament. The 10th complaint in the Declaration of Independence,
[58:50] which we just celebrated its 250th anniversary says, "He has erected a
[58:55] multitude of new offices and sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people
[59:00] and eat out their substance." The 17th complaint says, "For imposing taxes on
[59:06] us without our consent." The 21st complaint says, "Altering altering
[59:11] fundamentally the forms of our government." Maida is another quasi
[59:16] government agency which is ran by an appointed board and taxes the people
[59:21] without their consent altering and changing a republic form of government.
[59:26] The history of the present king of Great Britain is a history of repeated
[59:29] injuries and usurppations all having in direct object the establishment
[59:34] establishment of an absolute tyranny over these states. History keeps
[59:40] repeating the same mistakes over and over again. We ask you again follow the
[59:45] contracts which are the constitutions. Repentance is necessary to restore a
[59:51] public form of government that was guaranteed to every state in this union.
[59:56] Quote, "Anything contrary to the Constitution is null and void and of no
[1:00:01] force." Thomas Jefferson. The Boxella Committee of Liberty opposes interlocal
[1:00:06] agreements because they give tax exemptions advantages to certain
[1:00:11] businesses. The data center also known as the surveillance center is being
[1:00:17] given an interlocal agreement where they will be given tax exemption and the
[1:00:22] people will be paying higher taxes. Example, the taxing entities like the
[1:00:27] school district, mosquito abatement and the bar water conservy district wave the
[1:00:31] taxes they would have received for 20 25 plus years. But then those same quasi
[1:00:37] taxing entities tax the people several times through the years without the
[1:00:42] consent of the people like we've experienced since interlocal agreements
[1:00:46] were established. We ask you again restore the free market
[1:00:50] as stated in our Utah Constitution article 12 section 20. Stop giving
[1:00:55] special privileges to certain businesses or monopolies. Thank you.
[1:01:01] » Thank you.
[1:01:07] Okay. Our warrant registering
[1:01:12] on that
[1:01:19] Mr. B. Thank you.
[1:01:34] Sir,
[1:01:44] this is all the volunteers for the fair. We get the rest of them.
[1:01:49] » So, yeah, just know that there won't be meeting after that one. So, we got to
[1:01:52] get them all in on that one.
[1:02:18] So, is this supposed to be June or July >> for the warrant register?
[1:02:24] » It says it says six on it, not seven. >> Today's July.
[1:02:27] » That's July. Yeah,
[1:02:31] » that's right.
[1:02:35] We're just having so much fun. We want to go back to June.
[1:02:37] » Good. Good call, boy. >> Yeah.
[1:02:42] » Time just goes by too fast.
[1:02:53] We'll get to change hers to the second, too.
[1:02:58] Good catch.
[1:03:01] Okay. >> Okay. Very good.
[1:03:06] » Need a motion to go into close session. >> I'd make a motion we go into close
[1:03:09] session to discuss pending litigation. >> Second.
[1:03:12] » We have a motion by Commissioner Perry and a second by Commissioner Bingham
[1:03:15] going into close session. All in favor say I. I.
[1:03:17] » I. Okay. Now close session.
[1:03:34] I I just I hadn't hand wrote it down. I don't have it.
[1:03:39] » Well, no. Um but we can hurry and give it to you if you want. Let's see. So,
[1:03:43] it's just >> So, what you've got is
[1:03:47] » cancelling. So, we have August 12th is our next commission meeting. It'll be an
[1:03:50] afternoon meeting. Then we'll have
