Commission Approves Routine Business: Minutes, Letters, Insurance Amendment, Surplus Sale and More
The Granite County Commission approved a series of routine but consequential items during the meeting.

Minutes: The board voted to accept the board minutes from 01/20/2026 after Speaker 4 made the motion and Speaker 3 seconded; the motion carried unanimously.

AOPA letter: Commissioners revised and approved a draft reply to AOPA and related pilot associations; the motion instructed staff to address the letter to the original senders and CC the airport board and relevant pilot organizations.

Insurance appointment: The commission approved an amendment to the Marsh McLennan agency agreement that clarified liability/indemnity limits and preserved a $1,000,000 errors-and-omissions baseline tied to the firm's insurance; the contract change and property/casualty appointment were accepted and staff were authorized to finalize signatures.

Surplus equipment: A single bid from Patriot Excavation for $3,025 for an Ingersoll Rand vibrating roller was accepted.

Willow Rock: Commissioners accepted Willow Rock Incorporated's winter survey for Georgetown A House and authorized payment for the service.

Votes at a glance: All motions described above were moved, seconded, and carried by recorded voice vote during the meeting. No roll-call tallies with individual commissioner names were transcribed beyond unanimous "aye" votes noted in the minutes.

Next steps: County staff will finalize and execute the insurance amendment documents, send the AOPA reply with the agreed recipients/CCs, list the surplus item for transfer to Patriot Excavation, and process the Willow Rock payment.
