During Tuesday’s Board of Carbon County Commissioners meeting, Vice Chairwoman Gwynn Bartlett presented a certification statement for the county’s Mineral Royalty Grant application. Vice Chair Bartlett explained that the grant is to replace an elevator at Memorial Hospital of Carbon County. Specifically, Vice Chair Bartlett said the agreement requires the county to meet the grant requirements before the elevator replacement project even starts. Only then, she said, could county officials be certain they were complying with the requirements of the Mineral Royalty Grant.
