Chris Preston of the county attorney’s office presented the ordinance on behalf of the surveyor’s office. Preston said the public land survey system’s corner monuments are critical to property deeds and boundary descriptions across the valley and that development and construction sometimes move or destroy those monuments. He described a state statute that authorizes counties to adopt ordinances creating a public land corner preservation fund and to require plan review and fees for work near monuments.

The ordinance does two things: it creates a new county code chapter (14.22) titled Land Survey and Land Survey Monuments that authorizes the surveyor’s office to adopt fees and to require plan review for work within 30 feet of a monument; and it amends the county fee schedule (title 2.42.090) to add the specific fees and penalties associated with monument protection. Preston said a previously listed $40 plat-map filing fee is being moved to the updated fee schedule location, not eliminated. The agenda item included a list of new penalties for disturbing or failing to show monuments on plans; specific penalty amounts were not read into the record during the presentation.

Commissioners asked questions, and the motion to approve item 14 was made, seconded and carried with recorded “Aye” votes. County staff said the ordinance is modeled on provisions adopted by neighboring counties and that it gives the surveyor a toolset to monitor, require remediation by responsible parties and collect fees into a preservation fund.

The ordinance record shows the county will require plan submissions and can assess fees and penalties for work done within 30 feet of public land survey monuments; staff did not read exact penalty dollar amounts during the meeting and said fees will be set by the surveyor’s office under the code change.","mediaType","Audio","parentTitle","Regular Commission Meeting 09 23 2025 - 09 23 2025 Regular Commission Meeting Handheld Audio","oneSentenceSummary","The Davis County Commission adopted an ordinance creating protections, fees and penalties for public land survey corner monuments and established a new county code chapter (14.22) to implement the changes.","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":50,"_51":82,"_53":-5,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":83,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":84,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":71,"_72":73,"_74":73},6458042,"Davis County highlights West Wing Sports Park opening; approves concessions tech, kiosks and related grants",462,315000,777000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5824102-9354c3413966667c01a2eedae508c42b&start=315&end=777","/articles/6458042/Utah/Davis-County-highlights-West-Wing-Sports-Park-opening-approves-concessions-tech-kiosks-and-related-grants","County officials highlighted the recent opening of the West Wing Sports Park and approved several contracts and grant agreements to support park operations and local transportation projects.

Kent Anderson, director of Community and Economic Development, described last week’s official West Wing Sports Park opening and said the project brought many county departments together. Commissioners noted vendors from Station Park participated in the celebration and that the event drew broad county involvement.

On procurement and operations, the commission approved an agreement with Square for hardware and software to process concessions and convenience-store sales at the sports park. The agreement was described on the record as payable in the amount of $2,057.10, effective Sept. 16, 2025, through Sept. 16, 2027. Commissioners and staff discussed a controller’s-office requirement that credit card processing paperwork be filed with the treasurer, and staff said they would coordinate with the treasurer’s office before completing documentation.

The commission also approved a contract with Grubber for two self-service ordering kiosks intended to streamline convenience-store sales; the payable amount was listed as $7,363.35 with dates Sept. 14, 2025, through Sept. 14, 2028. Staff noted a controller question about contract language related to sales tax collection and said they would amend the contract language if needed.

The commission approved a service agreement with Anderson Asphalt for surface treatment on the Western Rail Trail (Denver and Rio Grande Western Trail) for $11,259.68, effective July 1, 2025, through Oct. 31, 2025, to preserve replaced paving.

The board ratified two U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development grant agreements: a 2025–2026 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) receivable of $936,639 and a HOME Investment Partnerships Program receivable of $518,654.13 (both listed as July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026). Commissioners also approved interlocal agreements with the city of North Salt Lake using local transportation funds: $196,000 for the Orchard Drive buffered bike lanes project (Sept. 23, 2025–Sept. 23, 2030) and $750,000 for the Main Street saving improvement project (Sept. 23, 2025–Sept. 23, 2030).

Commissioners approved items 2–8 as a block vote with a note that items 2 (Square) and 3 (Grubber kiosks) had controller-office questions staff would address. The motion passed with all commissioners recorded as saying “Aye.”","Commissioners praised the new West Wing Sports Park and approved multiple items tied to park operations and nearby infrastructure: payment processing hardware with Square, two self-service kiosks, an asphalt preservation contract, HUD CDBG and HOME grants receivables, and two interlocal transportation agreements with North Salt Lake.",{"_33":86,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":87,"_41":88,"_43":89,"_45":90,"_47":91,"_49":50,"_51":92,"_53":-5,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":93,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":94,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":71,"_72":73,"_74":73},6458047,"Davis County to contract forensic interviewer to cover Children’s Justice Center caseload",171,94000,265000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5824102-9354c3413966667c01a2eedae508c42b&start=94&end=265","/articles/6458047/Utah/Davis-County-to-contract-forensic-interviewer-to-cover-Childrens-Justice-Center-caseload","The Davis County Commission voted to approve a contract allowing a contracted forensic interviewer to provide interviews for the county Children’s Justice Center when county staff are unavailable.

Julie Stephenson, director of the Davis County Children’s Justice Center, told commissioners the center currently has a full-time forensic interviewer and a part-time interviewer on county payroll but that both are often subpoenaed to testify in court. She said the county and the Attorney General’s office identified one-time AG funding that can be used to pay a contracted professional to fill gaps and to provide additional coverage when multiple interviews are needed.

Stephenson said the contract is with Anastasia Pealy, whom she described as an experienced forensic interviewer who trains with the AG’s office. The agreement requires the contractor to meet county security requirements and training. Commissioners were told the current funding is on the state fiscal year and, as written, could end June 30 unless additional funding is secured.

The motion to approve the contract was made, seconded and carried with all commissioners saying “Aye.” The contract’s effective and end dates and the specific hourly or per-interview rate were not stated on the record.

The commission’s action directs the county to use the one-time AG funding to contract for forensic interviewing capacity and places the county on record as seeking a longer-term funding solution if needed beyond the state fiscal year.","The Davis County Commission approved a contract to hire a contracted forensic interviewer, funded in part by one-time Attorney General office money, to provide coverage when county interviewers are unavailable; the contract runs through the state fiscal year and may end June 30 unless more funding is found.",{"_33":96,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":97,"_41":98,"_43":89,"_45":99,"_47":100,"_49":50,"_51":101,"_53":-5,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":102,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":103,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":71,"_72":73,"_74":73},6458032,"Votes at a glance: Davis County Commission actions on Sept. 23, 2025",1752,1846000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5824102-9354c3413966667c01a2eedae508c42b&start=94&end=1846","/articles/6458032/Utah/Votes-at-a-glance-Davis-County-Commission-actions-on-Sept-23-2025","Below are the formal actions recorded at the Sept. 23, 2025 Davis County Commission meeting, as read on the public record.
