The Housing Authority of Carbon-Emery County approved its audit report for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, with no findings or internal control issues, according to the summary of its Oct. 15 meeting. The audit was presented by Brent Stratton of Haynie & Co. The board also approved its August 2026 financial statements and check detail reports, and agreed to move its monthly meetings to the third Wednesday of each month at 4:00 p.m.

A note on sourcing: the records provided for the Oct. 15 Housing Authority meeting are labeled agenda-only, with minutes not yet published. The approvals described above are as stated in the meeting summary; the official minutes remain the authoritative record.

Housing Authority: utility allowances and a new meeting schedule

The same Oct. 15 meeting included discussion of proposed 2027 utility allowances based on a Nelrod study. The summary describes the allowances as discussed, not adopted. A separate notice lists the board's revised schedule for the rest of 2026: Nov. 18, 2026, and Dec. 16, 2026, both the third Wednesday, at 4:00 p.m. at the Housing Authority Office in Price.

Planning Commission: conditional use permit for Technology Park east of Wellington

The Planning Commission was scheduled to consider and possibly approve a Conditional Use Permit for a phased Technology Park and associated infrastructure east of Wellington, on parcels 2A-1320-0000 and 2A-1656-0000, for Altigen JS, LLC and Duct Tape, LLC. The meeting was set for Oct. 6, 2026, at 4:30 p.m. in the Commission Chambers at 751 East 100 North, Price.

The agenda also listed updates on previous items and upcoming projects from Todd Thorne, Zoning Administrator/Director of Planning, approval of meeting minutes and conflict of interest disclosures. No minutes have been published, so whether the permit was approved is not established by the records provided.

Commissioners: property values, grants and contracts

The Board of Commissioners met Oct. 7 with an agenda that included property value changes recommended by the Assessors department, an OHVR Grant for the Carbon County Motocross Track Continued Improvements Project, an agreement with Toilets To Go of Utah, LLC, an addendum to the Rodeo Contract Agreement with All In Pro Rodeo LLC, and an application for the Bulletproof Vest Partnership Program Grant.

The board also convened as the Board of Equalization that day to review the recommended property value changes. That agenda additionally listed review of agreements with Visa U.S.A. Inc and Toilets To Go of Utah, LLC. The records provided do not identify which parcels were affected or what the recommended changes were, and no minutes have been published, so the outcomes of these items are not established.

Coming up

No upcoming meetings were listed in the records provided for the next 14 days. The Housing Authority's revised schedule lists its next meetings for Nov. 18, 2026, and Dec. 16, 2026, both at 4:00 p.m. at the Housing Authority Office in Price.

Carbon County boards take up Technology Park permit, property values and grants; minutes not yet published

Carbon County's Planning Commission and Board of Commissioners each met during the first week of October, with agendas covering a proposed Technology Park east of Wellington, property value adjustments, and several grant and contract items. Only agendas were available for these meetings as of October 13 — minutes had not been published — so no decisions, approvals, or vote tallies can be reported here.

Planning Commission: Technology Park permit

The Planning Commission's regular meeting was set for October 6, 2026, at 4:30 PM in the Commission Chambers at 751 East 100 North, Price, Utah. The main agenda item was consideration and possible approval of a Conditional Use Permit for a phased Technology Park and associated infrastructure east of Wellington, on parcels 2A-1320-0000 and 2A-1656-0000, for Altigen JS, LLC and Duct Tape, LLC.

A conditional use permit is a permission a local government grants for a land use that is allowed in a zone only under specific conditions. The agenda does not state the size, cost, or construction schedule of the proposed park.

The agenda also listed routine business: roll call, the pledge of allegiance, approval of meeting minutes, conflict of interest disclosures on agenda items, and updates on previous items and upcoming projects from Todd Thorne, Zoning Administrator/Director of Planning.

Board of Commissioners: property values, grants, contracts

The Board of Commissioners was scheduled to meet October 7. Its agenda listed review of property value changes recommended by the Assessors department, along with several agreements and grant items:

• An OHVR Grant for the Carbon County Motocross Track Continued Improvements Project
• An agreement with Toilets To Go of Utah, LLC
• An addendum to a Rodeo Contract Agreement with All In Pro Rodeo LLC
• An application for the Bulletproof Vest Partnership Program Grant

The agenda does not include dollar amounts for any of these items, and it does not state whether they were approved.

Board of Equalization: property value changes

The same day, the Board of Equalization and Board of Commissioners were scheduled to meet, with an agenda listing possible approval of changes to property values recommended by the Assessors department. The Board of Equalization is the county body that reviews property value matters.

That agenda also listed review of agreements with Visa U.S.A. Inc and Toilets To Go of Utah, LLC, approval of the OHVR Grant for the Carbon County Motocross Track Continued Improvements Project, the addendum to the Rodeo Contract Agreement with All In Pro Rodeo LLC, and the Bulletproof Vest Partnership Program Grant application.

Because minutes for the October 6 and October 7 meetings had not been published, this roundup cannot report what was approved, rejected, or tabled, or how any member voted.

Coming up

Carbon County boards weigh land donation, contracts; planning hearings set

No decisions have been published from the county's most recent meetings, but the agendas that came out this week put a land donation and several contracts before the Board of Commissioners and Board of Equalization. The most significant item is a proposal to donate a parcel to Helper City for an All Wheels Park, which appears on both boards' Aug. 19 agendas. Minutes for these meetings have not yet been released, so no votes or outcomes are available.
