COUNTY RESOLUTION NO. 2022-_____
A RESOLUTION ENCOURAGING COMMUNICATION AND
COLLABORATION ON CROSS-JURISDICTIONAL ISSUES IN
SPANISH VALLEY, AND ESTABLISHING A SPANISH VALLEY
WORKING GROUP TO FACILITATE COMMUNICATION AND
COORDINATION
WHEREAS, Spanish Valley, which stretches from the Arches National Park
entrance in the north to Blue Hill in the south, is split into three separate political
jurisdictions and governed by three separate governing bodies, namely the Grand
County Commission, San Juan County Commission and Moab City Council;
WHEREAS, Spanish Valley residents of the three jurisdictions share the same
drinking water aquifer, night skies, air quality, traffic issues, noise issues, housing
market, and job market;
WHEREAS, decisions made in one jurisdiction can significantly affect the
residents of the other jurisdictions in various ways;
WHEREAS, better communication and coordination among the three jurisdictions
would better protect the health, safety and public welfare of Spanish Valley
residents;
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Grand County Commission,
the San Juan County Commission and the Moab City Council do hereby declare
their intent:
1. To communicate and, to the extent possible, collaborate and take into
account the effects on the other jurisdictions when deliberating about issues
that have cross-jurisdictional impacts. Specific issues which have cross-
jurisdictional impacts in Spanish Valley include, but are not limited to:
drinking water aquifer, dark night skies, noise, large events, tourism and
tourist developments, air quality, and equitable distribution of financial
burdens to local governments.
2. That this arrangement shall have no effect on decision-making authority
within the three jurisdictions and is non-binding, but shall encourage
information sharing and cross-jurisdictional impact considerations prior to
decision making.
3. To establish a Spanish Valley Working Group (Working Group) to assist in
information sharing among the separate governing bodies:
a. Membership will be composed of three representatives from each
jurisdiction (staff or Spanish Valley residents);
b. The Working Group will set out how and when the Working Group
will meet and share information;
c. The Working Group will identify areas in the three jurisdictions where
ordinances and regulations conflict and flag these for the attention of
the three governing bodies; and
d. The Working Group will monitor and review emerging issues and
make recommendations to the three jurisdictions.
