Loreen Kamalu, chair of the Davis County Commission, opened the recognition portion and noted the chambers were full for the employee service awards. County department leaders introduced honorees and described their roles and contributions. Presenters included Andy Hanson (Davis County Assessor), Brian McKenzie (Davis County Clerk), Randy Olson (Deputy Environmental Health Division Director), Mindy Box (WIC bureau manager), John Robinson (HR), Mike Pace (Information Systems), Matt Goff and Ellen Peterson (Library deputies), and several bureau managers who summarized individual contributions.

Honorees and highlights mentioned at the meeting included:
- Steve Hales, residential team lead, Assessor’s Office — 10 years; credited with training and mentoring appraisers.
- Amy Gould, Deputy Clerk, Elections Division — 10 years; recognized for voter-registration and front-desk service.
- Todd Blanchard, Facilities — 10 years (applauded in absentia).
- Johnny Brown, Health Senior Services — 15 years (applauded in absentia).
- Dantee Marshall, Health Administration — 5 years (applauded in absentia).
- Jesse (last name not specified in meeting), promoted to sanitation bureau manager — noted for leading radon program enhancements and other sanitation programs (5 years county service in varying roles).
- Sabrina Harmon, Health Administration — 5 years; recognized for clinic operations expertise.
- Cheryl Chee, WIC program — 5 years; noted for nutrition outreach and mobile clinic work.
- Mindy Adams, Human Resources — 25 years; credited with modernizing recruitment and serving as county recruiter.
- Caleb Vincent and Scott Morrill, Information Systems — 15 years each; noted for infrastructure and security work.
- Cindy Julander, Library System — 15 years; honored for children's programming and reference work.

Why this matters: the awards highlight employee retention and institutional knowledge across county services including public health, elections, facilities, libraries and information systems. Department directors used the moment to thank staff and note contributions to public-facing services such as passport processing, voter registration, public clinics, and technology infrastructure.

The recognition segment concluded with commissioners offering gratitude to employees and a reminder about Independence Day observances. No formal votes were required for the ceremonial item.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","07-01-2025 Commission Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","At its July meeting, the Davis County Commission presented monthly milestone service awards to county employees spanning 5–25 years of service across multiple departments.","taxTitle","Davis County Commission, Davis County Boards and Commissions, Davis County, Utah","taxId",67542,"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},6552669,"Commission tables county data-privacy ordinance after questions from commissioner",236,2213000,2449000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5112208-8c804fdae08a95b147182a25823b0d5d&start=2213&end=2449","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5112208-8c804fdae08a95b147182a25823b0d5d/thumbnail_2213000.jpg","/articles/6552669/Utah/Commission-tables-county-data-privacy-ordinance-after-questions-from-commissioner","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6552669-d4859e3bcb8db9be258df632e1f6ce61/orig.mp4?Expires=1770641219&Signature=NIdHWC0~JYTER7yfzvRB9Oaybrq79d2wHtTWbefDYrSpxW4fs8C97Wy8VfKjk~7ut2gDLXSnxqCONaSIefWD5c-ecpU7-lb955QJjIW5ujFRs9uFKezmyTGrFMnXeIDwIz1916j2RXWlgPATDPrWp0VL7SrgAnyvDlyrxGEN0fJhPkbHdFgAPCF7axA1AINMpstFc1xQj4wRqf5R9M37e7ACCxpm4D7cOhrcS28P9-PNWazwFIPVi1wxn96XN-sF5lWWO20ovdV3uW2zH0nk4~DKxCGU35EikRAX-ljNhqSLe5BosgbElHHx-DIQG9AF5IJDeYEjwk~h2QpiXpkMTw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Brian McKenzie, Davis County Clerk, presented proposed Ordinance 2025-5 to add chapter 2.38 to the Davis County Code and establish a county data privacy program in response to Utah's government data privacy act.

McKenzie described the ordinance as the county's step toward processes that safeguard personal data, identify collection and retention practices, and prepare for a required December report under state law. After discussion in a prior work session, the ordinance was put on the consent calendar for approval, but Commissioner John Cross asked that the item be tabled \"until everybody's had the opportunity to review it.\" Cross said several directors and others had asked for more time and that he had noticed apparent edits from the work session.

McKenzie told commissioners that tabling the ordinance would delay implementation of a structured data privacy program and the county's ability to organize processes for the December report, but he acknowledged the motion to table was at the commission’s discretion.

Commissioner Cross also asked whether the requirement could be implemented as a policy instead of an ordinance. McKenzie responded that an ordinance assigns a specific responsibility to the clerk’s office and follows a model the county has used previously, but he said the commission could decide a policy approach instead.

Outcome: the commission voted to table Ordinance 2025-5 until the next week's meeting to allow additional review. Commissioners indicated they viewed data privacy as important but agreed one commissioner should have time to review edits and feedback from directors before adoption.

Why this matters: the ordinance would formalize Davis County’s procedures under the state Government Data Privacy Act. Tabling the measure delays compliance steps the county planned to take before the annual report deadline in December, though the clerk said the practical effect is to push the work to the next meeting for further review.

No amendments were adopted at the July 1 meeting; commissioners voted to table the ordinance for additional consideration.","The Davis County Commission delayed final action on Ordinance 2025-5, which would add a county data privacy program to the code, after one commissioner requested more time for review and clarification about whether the program should be an ordinance or policy.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6552674,"Davis County comptroller Curtis Koch to leave; party convention will recommend interim replacement",91,94000,185000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5112208-8c804fdae08a95b147182a25823b0d5d&start=94&end=185","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5112208-8c804fdae08a95b147182a25823b0d5d/thumbnail_94000.jpg","/articles/6552674/Utah/Davis-County-comptroller-Curtis-Koch-to-leave-party-convention-will-recommend-interim-replacement","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6552674-771a1796fb6795afb0082eea2b6d4405/orig.mp4?Expires=1770641219&Signature=MnI54gGWqAGe0zVkdM3wbNKYbGbnJzA43Cnz7W4z104QlxalV1iGizX6QeAiZIyzXFx0u0bxxYPJNb5nwksK296X-vy~nS3P9JWCzPMxksXReBXLO6x7KvzyLcI4LW28L6q9pMKR5FHT3by7wV4qh3MOmr-8s-c~yavJOVqy8lGj5U1qF3~APSiyY8YKIFxZqKisBgv9AA-crnDHnqCz6G6m7lhXNL6Y9dXPXUDuFvSPJWqxZfwUxgLjM60osmS9P3UDee7AWihs-iuvtvegU8kCkzGeQh0A667KVZWvMzak2SUBjQ7~Lw9~WgfczKZWc0dFOoShEd3Oth21Sb2dPg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Loreen Kamalu, chair of the Davis County Commission, announced that elected Davis County Comptroller Curtis Koch submitted his resignation effective July 15, 2025.

The announcement explained why the vacancy triggers a party-led replacement process under Utah law. Kamalu said the Davis County Republican Party was notified on June 19, 2025, and that party delegates will hold a special convention at 7 p.m. July 15 at Layton Christian Academy to consider applicants who filed to complete Koch’s term. \"When they have someone to recommend to the Board of Commissioners that will happen afterward,\" Kamalu said.

The commission described the interim steps: Chief deputy Lee Doug Stone will assume the comptroller’s responsibilities until the legislative body of Davis County appoints an interim replacement, consistent with state law. Kamalu said the appointment would complete the remainder of Koch’s current term and noted that the office is on the regular election cycle in 2026.

Why this matters: the comptroller’s office handles county financial and auditing duties, and an appointed interim will serve until a candidate is chosen through the party convention and then officially appointed by the Board of Commissioners, then the office is open in the 2026 election cycle.

The commission did not take a formal vote on the announcement; the item was presented as informational. Kamalu asked county residents to attend the party convention if they wished to hear candidates speak and observe the delegates’ process.

The record: Kamalu provided the notice and timeline during the July 1 meeting. No additional candidates or appointment actions were taken that day; the commission will act after the party submits a recommendation.

Looking ahead: the party convention is public and scheduled for July 15, 2025, at Layton Christian Academy, with the county appointment to follow.","Davis County Commission announced the resignation of elected Comptroller Curtis Koch and described the process for an interim replacement, including a Republican Party convention scheduled for July 15 to recommend candidates to the Board of Commissioners.","actionData","errors"]
