GARDEN CITY, Utah. December 2nd, 2020. Randall Knight presided - two board members absent.
There was a short discussion and approval of the 2021 budget. It was pointed out that the 3% increase in monies coming from the county via property taxes were unfortunately not included in this year's taxes but will be included in 2022 at 6%. This shortfall was due to the state assessor’s failure to include it thereby creating a need for an adjustment to the budget, a reduction of training expenses, noting that many will be cancelled anyway due to the ongoing pandemic.
Chief Wahlberg gave a construction update on the addition. Electrical is complete. Sewer hookup to be completed the week of 7th to 11th. They are working on all the interior finish work.
Bear River Association of Governments notified the chairman that the county has "Covid Cares Act” monies available for virus related personal protection equipment and related items. The commissioners told the chairman that they could access between $6 - $7,000 dollars.
It is a regret of the board and the department that the annual Christmas gathering had to be cancelled due to the virus. They are adamant that it will be celebrated later in the year.
The responses for the month were:
3 - Medical calls
1 - Carbon Monoxide call
2 - Fire alarms
