The Daggett County Commission and RDA met July 7 to consider several items, including updates to Planning & Zoning bylaws and an LPG tank lease, installation, and service agreement with Mountain West Propane.
The agenda also listed three Planning & Zoning board member applications — from Joe Bowthorpe, Steven Wood, and Donovan Allpin Jr. — and a bus use agreement between the Daggett School District and Daggett County for Tower Rock Run.
