Notes from the Rich County Commission Aug. 5th, 2026 by Bess Huefner
(Look on you tube for more information)
Sunrise Engineering’s services for their GSI seem to
be running great. The Commissioners will review their contract each year. The
cost is about $20k for 3 years.
New Business license was issued to Andrew Berry for
his company: Bear Lake Service Care LLC. This company will serve Rich County
residents with non-medical needs such as companionship/meal prep/light
housekeeping, etc.
Brian Gardiner applied for a business license to open
a new restaurant, Blue Bayou, located across from Epic on 2520 Bear Lake Blvd. They plan to
open May 2027.
Kim Wilson presented the costs of running ambulances
in Rich County. The call out cost is $1200 with $35 a mile. There are approximately
120 call outs per year. There is no charge for non-transport. A The
Commissioners approved a $ 150 increase for call outs and $5 increase per mile.
(This would be a good time for each family to find out what their insurance
will pay for them in case of emergencies).
The Woodruff Creek Irrigation board of directors
brought a signed affidavit to accept the NRCS plan for protecting the
watershed. This is only for planning and the NRCS pays for this part. The NRCS
rewrote the contract to change the 100 year agreement to 50 years. Rich County
lawyer, Ben Willoughby reviewed the contract and felt that due diligence had
been served. The County Commissioners act as a pass-through entity where
supposedly they have no financial input.
Steve Talbot, director of Rich County Sanitation, is
looking to hire more workers.
Rich County Economic Development Funds Support Local
Businesses-Nikki Weston, Chair
Each year, the State of Utah provides funding to rural
counties to support economic development. In Rich County, the county
commissioners have appointed the Rich County Economic Development Board to help
guide the use of these funds.
The board includes a representative from each town in
the county, along with representatives from a local government entity and
Workforce Services. The board reviews applications and makes recommendations to
the Rich County Commission, which makes the final funding decisions.
In 2026, Rich County received $200,000 in economic
development funding. The majority of the funds were awarded to small businesses
throughout the community. Public safety and infrastructure projects were also
considered as part of the funding process.
BRAG (Bear River Association of Governments) and the Bear Lake Regional Commission are contracted to administer the program. Applications opened shortly after the first of the year, and funding awards were made in April. A primary emphasis of the program was on creating or increasing year-round employment opportunities in Rich County.
Businesses receiving funding have until November to submit
documentation for reimbursement.
Applications for the 2027 Small Business Grant Program
are expected to open in November, provided the State of Utah maintains funding
at a level similar to last year.
Rich County businesses are encouraged to watch for the
application period and take advantage of this opportunity to invest in their
businesses and strengthen our local economy.

Announcement Regarding Raspberry Days Fireworks
Announcement Regarding Raspberry Days Fireworks
With heavy hearts, we want to share that the traditional fireworks show that closes out Raspberry Days each year has been canceled due to the current fire concerns in our area.
We know this is a beloved part of the celebration, and we share in the disappointment of our community. However, the safety of our residents, visitors, and surrounding areas must always come first.
We are grateful for everyone’s understanding and support as we make this difficult decision. Raspberry Days will still be filled with the community, traditions, activities, and memories that make this event so special.
Thank you for helping us keep our beautiful area safe
