RANDOLPH, Utah.
January 6, 2016. Justin Dolling,
Utah Division of Wildlife Resources, gave Rich County the DWR PILT payment for
2015. There are 2300 acres of land under
federal control, the Payment in Lieu of
Taxes is about 50 cents an acre which is paid from the sale of hunting and
fishing licenses.
DWR would like to help with county plans. They will share the information and data sets
they have collected. They will send the
data electronically first.
Dolling said that there is a coyote predator program, and
lion tags are being given out. Bears are doing well, and need to have the
population reduced. There may be a bear
hunt. There have been wolf sightings and
one wolf trapped and killed has been sent for analysis for DNA.
The Commissioners
approved the inter-local agreement between Garden City, State Parks and the
County for the Gun Range proposal.
Gary Bagley and Richard Wilcox, School Institutional Trust
Land Administration, discussed the county’s communication site. All communication lease sites during the last 5 or
6 years have been routinely looked at. When they put the towers they followed the legal
description in 1984, but the survey was wrong so some of the county towers are
not on county land but on state land. There
is no provision to buy property non competitively now.
Bagley said that the easiest way to solve this is to lease
the land from the state. He suggested a 20
year lease short term right of entry permit.
The lease could cover both sites. They need to resurvey.
Tom Weston suggested moving the buildings to
county land. But the translator needs to be on the edge for good reception so the towers need to stay where they are.
