Chief Deputy Arnold Butcher described five items from the sheriff's office that commissioners approved: a material donation of lumber from Home Depot to support target stands; a Johnson Controls contract for metisys migration for the county jail ($105,188); a temporary license agreement for SymX Tactical Solutions to use the shooting range (no fee, short-term through June 28, 2025); and two annual limited-use agreements with Lakeview Rifle and Pistol organizations (a receivable of $151,560 for one group and $2,700 for another). The commission approved items 18 through 22 by voice vote.

Butcher gave a schedule and purpose for the facility: “On June 28 at 10AM, Saturday, we're going to be having a grand reopening. It's gonna be open to the public,” he said. He described the range as a training facility used by public-safety agencies across Davis County and occasionally by state or federal agencies; the range will also allow public shooting on designated days and host events managed by shooting clubs.

Commissioners and staff credited work by Public Works and Information Systems staff, the school district’s donation of classroom space for training, and county employees who helped restore and improve the facility.

Ending: The commission approved the agreements that enable training and public access; the sheriff’s office said the range will be free to the public during the grand reopening weekend and then operate under standard policies and vendor agreements.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","06-17-2025 Commission Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","County approved donations, license agreements and permits to reopen the Davis County Shooting Range; sheriff's office said a grand reopening open to the public is scheduled for June 28 at 10 a.m.","taxTitle","Davis County Commission, Davis County Boards and Commissions, Davis County, Utah","taxId",67542,"location","Utah","headline","shortSummary",{"_32":75,"_34":35,"_36":37,"_38":76,"_40":77,"_42":78,"_44":79,"_46":80,"_48":81,"_50":82,"_52":83,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":84,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":85,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":71,"_72":55,"_73":55},6524299,"Commission holds bond hearing and approves up to $6.2 million in sales tax revenue bonds for south-county library project",204,1352000,1556000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3857592-c0a5dedabd6067e0ce498ca3115e1c51&start=1352&end=1556","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3857592-c0a5dedabd6067e0ce498ca3115e1c51/thumbnail_1352000.jpg","/articles/6524299/Utah/Commission-holds-bond-hearing-and-approves-up-to-62-million-in-sales-tax-revenue-bonds-for-south-county-library-project","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6524299-9cea433a1095343df529235fdbb12ca8/orig.mp4?Expires=1769955710&Signature=NyX3XI4YBNn8MWVJW57u~tBUt9x9oNk3Aui39a014069Br6FXT-82ES1D-RcdyNAY75ql7frGnHMU-THSrbCmZIKdD1W~F9NNwDM4a72F1yaKXUNitayDtr0mUUpyqhH4Xdv4VVhtMjHDFEngeoQW6qZ1CZxuNDzm4cwpr6WtjJY8JmQ6Tct1lW6wPYuPWjl6aQjukwtWdwR7L8WZmnoyqu7Fk-YvDEbSTbj9Zcol-0end9BMIe8Zt9RtWwWA7LDaIT-ClOYmeKxgQU22ypGKv5JqGz2dYcxnUFfQ112Ode5SjE5uXHijddDJSnkUof7JPoPPDvsi0tkEr1xaXhDNA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Davis County commissioners held a public hearing June 17 on proposed sales tax revenue bonds not to exceed $6,200,000 for a project described as the remodel or construction of a library in the county’s southern area. The hearing was held under the Local Government Bonding Act and gave members of the public an opportunity to speak about the financing.

A statutorily required notice was read into the record: “Pursuant to the provisions of the Local Government Bonding Act Title 11 Chapter 14 Utah Code Annotated 1953 as amended, a notice of public hearing with respect to the issuance of the county's proposed sales tax revenue bonds in the principal amount of not to exceed $6,200,000 was posted…” County staff said most project funds are already in the capital fund and that the site will be located at the current south-county library location.

County staff then invited public comment. Marcus Keller of Farmington City told the commission he was “so happy to see this project going forward” and said he and his firm would be interested in bidding on the financing or procurement work. Another commenter raised a separate concern about library displays but was reminded by the chair to keep remarks to the financing topic.

After the public hearing, staff and commissioners said the notice and hearing complied with statutory posting requirements and moved to approve the bond resolution. The commission voted unanimously to close the public hearing and approve the bond authorization for up to $6.2 million to support the south-county library project.

Ending: With the resolution approved, staff said the county will proceed with the financing process under the Local Government Bonding Act; no additional details on bond terms or a final bond issuance schedule were provided at the hearing.","The Davis County Commission held a statutorily required public hearing and approved proposed sales tax revenue bonds not to exceed $6.2 million to help finance a remodel or replacement of a south-county library; public commenters expressed support.",{"_32":87,"_34":35,"_36":37,"_38":88,"_40":89,"_42":90,"_44":91,"_46":92,"_48":93,"_50":94,"_52":95,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":96,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":97,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":71,"_72":55,"_73":55},6524304,"Davis County adopts 2025–2029 consolidated plan for CDBG and HOME funds, approves 2025 projects",585,1015000,1600000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3857592-c0a5dedabd6067e0ce498ca3115e1c51&start=1015&end=1600","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3857592-c0a5dedabd6067e0ce498ca3115e1c51/thumbnail_1015000.jpg","/articles/6524304/Utah/Davis-County-adopts-20252029-consolidated-plan-for-CDBG-and-HOME-funds-approves-2025-projects","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6524304-6ca64c4d723f317d1ae2e309f39054df/orig.mp4?Expires=1769955710&Signature=eY05uQfEzXTRXup3v2Q08b~ZpjPSwVTYwpD6EfhGM1Z5RrdurGqNI5QUfhYovzUje3mvcjs2uADtR4~oyMpeZR3SxgPM3HbKnjLFyQw7TTkByMN5JR3Z9S3klNatnl2YnjfiT4vwXW5NTWOpDYAc20w6xZbGut4nHmIJZhJRZvPYsr5U1WlTdCitIxFVE3yPvA0MDhShENFCvVQqtS-S7IaIh~goMLegl35GZBMRfdyhJAFHqnodtGUO8u7XeiGt4LtfxkUJHN5TLjUeh5EOzcVW9YUwe7OGods-tEVMbHNJ25h0rYyYZsfnpzjHboSDuEw0bGB0Pr4-v3zGbuq3Og__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Davis County Commission opened a public hearing June 17 and then adopted the county’s 2025–2029 consolidated plan for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnership funds, including the one-year action plan for projects to be funded from the 2025 allocations.

Ryan Steinbeagle of the county’s Community and Economic Development department described the plan and read the county’s recommended projects for the 2025 annual action plan. “This year we get $936,639 of community development block grant funds, and then 518,654 of home funds,” Steinbeagle said. The commission opened the hearing, heard public comment, and approved the plan.

Public commenters asked about the potential local effects of state-level land-use guidance; one commenter urged commissioners to consider small-business impacts from downtown revitalization so projects do not displace low-revenue local businesses. Steinbeagle told the commission that CDBG and HOME funds must benefit low- and moderate-income households and are not available for general downtown redevelopment. He summarized the county’s recommended 2025 allocations by project and dollar amount:

- $250,000 for a Bountiful waterline project
- $130,000 for the county home-rehabilitation program administered with Habitat for Humanity
- $150,000 to Woods Cross City for stabilizing sinking foundations in the Farm Meadows subdivision
- $200,000 for the county home-ownership assistance program for low- and moderate-income households
- $107,000 to Davis School District for a summer camp program
- $28,000 to Open Doors for homelessness services

Steinbeagle said the projects were prioritized in the annual action plan included in the consolidated plan. After hearing public comment, the commission closed the hearing and approved the consolidated plan and one-year action plan by unanimous voice vote.

Ending: The county will proceed to program the 2025 CDBG and HOME funds into the approved projects; staff said final federal forms (updated SF-424Bs) were supplied to commissioners and the clerk’s office would distribute them to the commission.","After a public hearing, the Davis County Commission adopted the county’s 2025–2029 consolidated plan covering Community Development Block Grant and HOME Investment Partnership funds and approved project funding for the coming year.",{"_32":99,"_34":35,"_36":37,"_38":100,"_40":101,"_42":102,"_44":103,"_46":104,"_48":105,"_50":106,"_52":107,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":108,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":109,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":71,"_72":55,"_73":55},6524308,"Resident asks county to audit South Davis Recreation District finances; commissioners note levying board retains authority",642,344000,986000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3857592-c0a5dedabd6067e0ce498ca3115e1c51&start=344&end=986","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3857592-c0a5dedabd6067e0ce498ca3115e1c51/thumbnail_344000.jpg","/articles/6524308/Utah/Resident-asks-county-to-audit-South-Davis-Recreation-District-finances-commissioners-note-levying-board-retains-authority","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6524308-b5fd95d06fa436240746b1d206e4d66c/orig.mp4?Expires=1769955710&Signature=P5~VTM2JCLZSOqvp1gYp1ZH8IYRYhNNvzEwb9FuX1A~M~0PhPWukvbF~VmkwS2bJVvgUZB86OZI78cdhk6wtnFRxEzXOzqKQOKDwcrsRqNizvVej0tqc3XqrXV6d6yCdhMMUBFN44X~ZuWtZC8q2Trb6oavMZWSmTdt1RCDJ8-2fvNGJo-od6jQk3CKtSxKp3mHvYAd6QUab4O-vofzMvH-aKDlvmyxamHUJCEPvJltBDSkYmM97sTNzOp1b9efu1UEK6NCrKdd02oiCB-~AzQq09moS6oFCD4-KBxUSS4MBEsWpm35ir3dSjlyzUXdln-9vj4Z2V68zLwzCocCVKw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","A resident asked Davis County officials on June 17 to investigate the finances and accounting practices of the South Davis Recreation District, saying taxpayer subsidy funds may be covering activities voters did not approve.

The commenter — identified in the meeting transcript as a resident speaking during public comment — said the recreation district was established about 20 years ago and that two voter-approved levies (a bond and a property tax subsidy) were presented to voters with a voter pamphlet describing the center as “the building and the parking lot” and listing intended activities. The resident said the subsidy was originally expected to cover a maximum of 25% of operation and maintenance costs but now “the subsidy now covers 40% of the cost of the center and the outside activities that have been added,” and that the district approved a “77% property tax increase” last year. The commenter also said taxpayer subsidy funds are not segregated from other district funds and asked whether subsidy money has been used on planning and expansion expenses not approved by voters.

The resident asked the county auditor and county attorney to review whether subsidy funds were appropriately segregated and spent only for the purposes approved by voters. The resident also noted the recreation district has expanded into programs such as youth sports and the Bountiful ice ribbon that were not part of the original description.

Commissioners clarified that the county does not directly levy the tax for the district. Commissioner Lorraine Kamalu explained the recreation district’s board levies the tax, and the commission’s agenda item on the tax rate was informational for the public. Commissioners and staff also noted a previous change in the district’s bylaws and appointment process: the county no longer appoints members to that recreation district board.

Ending: The commission approved the resolution adopting the tax rate for the South Davis Recreation District as an informational agenda item; the resident’s request for an audit was received and acknowledged by the clerk and commissioners, who did not take separate formal investigative action at the meeting.","A public commenter urged the county auditor and county attorney to examine whether voter-approved subsidy funds at the South Davis Recreation District have been used as intended; commissioners clarified the county no longer appoints the district board and does not directly levy the tax.",{"_32":111,"_34":35,"_36":37,"_38":112,"_40":113,"_42":114,"_44":115,"_46":116,"_48":117,"_50":118,"_52":119,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":120,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":121,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":71,"_72":55,"_73":55},6524311,"Davis County clerk details signature-audit errors; residents urge transparency and legal review",2661,94000,2755000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3857592-c0a5dedabd6067e0ce498ca3115e1c51&start=94&end=2755","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3857592-c0a5dedabd6067e0ce498ca3115e1c51/thumbnail_94000.jpg","/articles/6524311/Utah/Davis-County-clerk-details-signature-audit-errors-residents-urge-transparency-and-legal-review","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6524311-d07bc4af7f06f6de07a5a3049841a58e/orig.mp4?Expires=1769955710&Signature=ClKoXbBUqzC7UbpatqapCKPg6k9dxedJFFtSfYUqfkU-o6kpbb5PTYvFf2v5CJTWm6-R0gCbsZH9NV4LD2JUmaE7ltpI9312CaBOPuGer20yRozExfTvC8enOchYDfqbfdp59FU7eFDadqo0C7yE8D9OxDrZZCtUsdQz3FmDFL54jvZhJBdtkVoCWpSPGyX06D48FUW8Y8b7miAplnPKaN9r-qrrcJE5awueELEG4gwF0eLv7xVCb2r1UyRBQDqvbERjj6peHlfIsfHE4o0-8FNCgUvHmY8eI6Yu8blIPVx4lnfPqoycSCgCKbvMdjW8bOdDOFjamoVMdUlXg9Sy5A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Residents raised concerns in public comment at the Davis County Commission meeting on June 17 about errors in the 2024 candidate petition certification process and the large number of withheld or “private” voter records. County election staff responded with an explanation of findings from the legislative audit and recent statutory changes intended to increase transparency.

The exchange began during public comment when Tina Horlocker of Syracuse said county election staff “owned up to those mistakes” at a legislative committee and asked the clerk to specify “what those mistakes are” and how they are being corrected. Jennifer Garner of Layton also said she was concerned that “the voter rolls having 40% of our our voters be either withheld or private is concerning as far as transparency goes.”

Bridal McKenzie of the Davis County Clerk’s Office and other clerk’s office staff later addressed those concerns in the meeting’s closing remarks. McKenzie said the legislative auditors identified an error rate in candidate petition packet review, and that “those are the mistakes I’m referring to,” meaning signatures that were counted when they should not have been and signatures that were rejected when they should have been counted. McKenzie summarized the office’s performance as “somewhere around 97% to 99% perfect” and said the remaining human errors are the focus of corrective measures.

McKenzie described three concrete responses already enacted or supported in the last legislative session. First, SB 164 now requires an audit before certification of candidate signatures so errors can be caught and corrected earlier. Second, the law permits verification of additional signatures when problems are found after an initial certification, addressing a prior limit that forced certification to stop once the threshold was met. Third, the law increased transparency by allowing candidates and opposing parties to inspect petition packets in full (without photographs), and it establishes observers to monitor the process.

At the start of the meeting the clerk’s office presented 15 interlocal agreements with cities across Davis County for election administrative services; the commission approved those agreements. Bridal McKenzie noted updated SF-424B forms for federal grants were provided to the commissioners for a separate agenda item.

The clerk invited residents with further questions to contact the office or attend town-hall sessions the office holds for public review and said staff are available for one-on-one meetings to explain procedures and changes.

Ending: The county’s next steps, as described by the clerk, focus on implementing SB 164’s audit and transparency measures and continuing outreach to the public. The commission did not take separate action on the audit summary during the meeting beyond approving routine interlocal election agreements and hearing the public comments.","Public commenters pressed the county Friday about candidate petition signature errors and withheld voter rolls; county clerk said auditors found human errors and lawmakers added verification and transparency measures.","actionData","errors"]
