Rich County Commission Meeting March 6th, 2024

 

Rich County Commission Meeting March 6th, 2024

After the Pledge of Allegiance, Clayton Webb and Jack Stone have had Victory Medals made for the Veterans. They requested a time slot at the County Fair to present the medals to the veterans or their families. It was decided to have them do the presentation after the 4-H sale about 2:30 on Sat. Aug. 17 on the lawn at the Court House.

Payment in Lieu of taxes was given to the County. This money comes from the licenses of hunters and fishermen. The Commissioners asked if the deer count was collected and how many feed stations there are in the County. They will get the information to them for next month. There are GPS collars on some of the deer and when they find the dead deer with collars they then can estimate how much the deer loss has been.

Debra Van Noy and Bryan Neilson from the Utah Land Trust discussed conservation easements and what it would mean for ranchers who might decide to put some of their land into the trust. There was a lot of information presented. It would be wise if people would review the presentation on the Rich County You Tube station for a better understanding of Trust Lands.

Kim Wilson reviewed the tax exemptions which were presented. One land owner wanted to be exempt as he felt his land was land locked, but after much research the land was found to have an access only the land owner would have to build a bridge across Swan Creek to access his land.

Rob Johnson from Bear Lake Mental Health gave the annual audit and financial report as required by the State of Utah.

Discussion on land by the Utah-Idaho border found that the owner did not need to rezone, just present the plans to the Rich County Planning Commission.
