Ticketing services: The commission granted final approval for a ticketing-services agreement between Weber County and Etix Inc. for Culture, Parks and Recreation ticket sales. Marty Smith, Culture, Parks and Recreation director, said IT had reviewed the contract and would “be on board to help us transition to a new ticketing system” as implementation begins. The motion to approve the contract carried.

Parking fines ordinance: Commissioners approved the final reading of ordinance 2025-08, which amends section 42-4-8 of the Weber County Code of Ordinances to increase parking violation fines in areas near Pine View and Causey reservoirs. Sean Wilkinson, representing Community Development, presented the item and noted there were no changes since the first reading. During the motion the commission observed they had “not heard any negative regarding these increases,” and the ordinance was adopted.

OpenGov building-permit and inspection software: The commission approved a contract and scope-of-work documents for OpenGov (procured through state contractor Carahsoft) to replace the county’s legacy building-permit and inspection systems. Staff said vendor negotiations reduced the implementation cost by $15,000 from the previously presented figure and that recurring costs would not increase from the originally planned three-year contract. Stan Bernice, who presented the item, said the county had worked on the project through grants and other steps and was ready to implement the new system. The motion passed unanimously.

Consent items: The commission approved routine consent items including purchase orders and warrants. The agenda listed purchase orders totaling $588,118.69 and summary warrant and check runs totaling approximately $2.9 million; staff said the top single warrant was roughly $1.3 million for Twelfth Street construction, paid from transportation tax dollars. Comptroller staff member Ricky Hatch provided a breakdown of purchase order categories and vendor payments, including $237,000 for jail rooftop units and security updates and approximately $230,000 to Weber Human Services. The commission held back agenda items 5 and 11 for separate consideration and approved the remainder of items 1–12.

Votes at a glance
- Consent items 1–12 (items 5 and 11 held): approved (motion carried).
- Ticketing services agreement with Etix Inc.: approved (final reading; motion carried).
- Ordinance 2025-08 (Weber County Code §42-4-8) — parking fine increases near Pine View and Causey Reservoirs: adopted (final reading; motion carried).
- Contract with OpenGov (via Carahsoft) for building-permit and inspection software: approved (motion carried).

Why it matters: The ticketing and permit-system agreements move county operations to new third-party platforms that will change how residents buy event tickets and apply for building permits; the ordinance increases parking fines at two popular recreation reservoirs, a local policy change the commission said had received community support. Several budget and procurement items approved under consent will fund construction and facility maintenance projects at county sites.

All three action items were presented in public and approved at the meeting; implementation steps and timelines were described as staff-level next actions during the presentations.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Weber County LIVE April 29, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Weber County Commission approved three action items at its April 29 meeting in Ogden: a ticketing-services contract with Etix Inc., an ordinance raising parking fines near Pine View and Causey reservoirs, and a contract for OpenGov building-permit software.","taxTitle","Weber County Commission, Weber County Commission and Boards, Weber County, Utah","taxId",19971,"location","Utah","headline","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6258165,"Weber County honors volunteers, employees and businesses at State of the County; ‘County Clash’ highlights departments",1698,2213000,3911000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3149562-7dc6118dabe3b6677a61ced20f09d608&start=2213&end=3911","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3149562-7dc6118dabe3b6677a61ced20f09d608/thumbnail_2213000.jpg","/articles/6258165/Utah/Weber-County-honors-volunteers-employees-and-businesses-at-State-of-the-County-County-Clash-highlights-departments","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6258165-d72be4c8c20e8e9a67855102248dc318/orig.mp4?Expires=1770432203&Signature=M-ncaJq8~Z5n1f1yiT0UQJLCDBila96FtaifQAnXpLbtjxwFiZ~-6fKOUgDt7qZ6nWhb5lVuQ09JMYbtMVHp0afRbgeOHYagnyD95SH3NFtFLXo1T3yEveGhfqzmwpH7YiluKGspWR0H7YmckgrFrqwYIuMKF2n9ucTSezG86HUD3jpkAwasyM9I1DHWjsvzJROj-rhGH-KRY5vayFQD-XC1TsPmguDW4Bce6szhX11okN1q51qFFh15wWb7e3M7qqHYhuNl8Txy~QbJHcCI6LYVu2a8KK-5~1RjZwUtwpNKDVmQLgi2czPM9KszCPhCCqG9iLSbmRfkpKrZWYKEFw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Weber County Commission presented its annual Crystal Bowl Awards and screened a County Clash video during the State of the County portion of its April 29 meeting in Ogden, recognizing four individuals and organizations for volunteer and public service.

The Crystal Bowl Awards honored Jamie Pitt, a victim coordinator supervisor with the Weber County Attorney’s Office; Seager Memorial Clinic, a nonprofit providing free medical, dental, vision and mental-health care to underserved Northern Utah residents; Luis Lopez, an educator and community leader; and Carl Boyington, a U.S. Army veteran and longtime community volunteer. The county played a short video that introduced the recipients and their work before commissioners presented the awards in person.

The awards were followed by brief remarks from recipients. Jamie Pitt said, “Thank you. I’m very honored to receive this award. I have been with the county for almost 16 years, and I love what I do.”

Jerica, representing Seager Memorial Clinic, described clinic work with unhoused patients and said the clinic serves as a “safety net for those who are struggling to access or afford the traditional health care system.” She told one story shown at the meeting about a patient who needed medication and hydration and how clinic staff helped navigate other community resources to address nonmedical barriers to care.

Luis Lopez, who has served in roles including Ogden City Council and worked in education, accepted the award on behalf of collaborators and said, “I accept this award on behalf of the many people that I’ve had the privilege of working alongside…Everything I’ve been a part of…has only been possible because of the collective effort.” Carl Boyington also gave brief remarks about his long career and family support.

Following the awards, the county screened “County Clash,” a lighthearted video and game-show–style segment produced for the State of the County program that featured county departments competing in trivia and photo questions. The segment included short profiles of departments such as the Clerk/Auditor’s office, public defender’s office, health department, library and parks and recreation. Commissioners then offered short “highlights” reports summarizing 2024 departmental accomplishments, including library attendance figures, public defender office operations and facility improvements at Golden Spike Event Center and the fairgrounds.

Why it matters: The Crystal Bowl Awards and County Clash were presented as part of the commission’s annual State of the County observance to recognize public service and to inform residents about county programs and operations. Commissioners used the segment to highlight staff work across elections, public safety, public health, facilities and economic development and to call attention to ongoing projects and service metrics.

The meeting moved next to consent and action items after the presentations.","At its April 29 meeting the Weber County Commission presented Crystal Bowl Awards to four recipients, screened a County Clash video showcasing county departments, and heard commissioners’ highlights of 2024 accomplishments.","actionData","errors"]
