Wasatch County Fire board approves $1.44 million in warrants, discusses construction reimbursements

The Wasatch County Fire Protection Special Service District approved warrants totaling $1,444,440.04 at its May 14 meeting, board leadership said. The amount reflects progress payments on the district's ongoing station construction, and staff said they are preparing reimbursement requests to the state Community Impact Board (CIB).

The board chair introduced the warrants and asked whether anything in the packet "stands out that we should have concerned"; staff responded that the construction project comprised the lion's share of the disbursements. "We have warrants in the amount of $1,444,440.04," the presiding officer stated, and the board voted to approve the warrants after a motion and second.

The warrants vote followed routine business approving April minutes and a discussion of internal fund transfers. Finance staff reviewed the quarterly financial statement (see related article) and said that once CIB funds are received the district will move reimbursements from the capital projects fund to the general fund to cover prior expenditures.
