Commissioners approved hosting a statewide meeting of UT (unorganized territory) directors and staff to discuss shared issues such as junkyards, ordinances and inter‑county cooperation.
The fiscal administrator for the statewide UT program, Harold Jones, and other staff said roughly 25–30 people from multiple counties have expressed interest. The county would sponsor space and modest catering (estimated under $500 from UT funds), with UT offices expected to share some costs. Commissioners endorsed the plan and authorized staff to coordinate logistics and finalize the date and venue.
Why it matters: Bringing together UT directors can help counties share best practices, coordinate services and reduce duplicated costs for specialized programs.
Next step: Staff to finalize logistics and provide a report back to commissioners, including any funding commitments.
