Duchesne COG nominates chair, agrees to change 2026 meeting schedule; minutes acceptance moved

The Duchesne County Council of Governments held organizational business at its January meeting, including nominations for officers and a proposal to revise the 2026 meeting schedule.

Speaker 2 moved to appoint Mayor Hughes as chair of the council; Speaker 1 seconded the nomination. The group discussed nominations for vice chair and secretary, and moved the matter toward a vote, though the transcript does not record a formal roll-call tally or final voice vote.

Speaker 4 moved to accept the minutes from the Nov. 24 meeting. Immediately afterward, Speaker 9 introduced resolution number CCOG26.01, which would establish council meetings on the fourth Monday every other month beginning in January and shift the June meeting to the following week (proposed June 1) to avoid the May holiday. Speaker 6 formally moved approval of resolution CCOG26.01; participants discussed logistics and confirmed plans to advertise the schedule. The transcript records the motion and discussion but does not include a recorded vote count or final outcome.

No additional formal actions (ordinance adoptions or recorded votes) appear in the meeting excerpt. Several participants asked for clarity on calendar conflicts and confirmed that staff would advertise any rescheduled dates.

Next steps: the council planned to publish the updated 2026 meeting schedule and proceed with officer assignments; the transcript does not specify when an official confirmation or vote record will be posted.
