Commissioner Lorraine Kamalu said the commission appointed Grant Jechs, Sue Stevenson, Tricia Davis Winters and Ryan Steinbeagle to four-year terms on the Davis Community Housing Authority board beginning Oct. 1, 2025, and ending Sept. 30, 2029. “This is a big deal, bigger than people realize,” Kamalu said, calling the authority an important partner that helps address housing instability.

The appointments were presented by Kent Anderson, director of Community and Economic Development. Anderson said the county welcomed the new appointees and noted the housing authority’s role in local affordable housing efforts. The commission approved the appointments as part of a grouped motion covering several business items.

Kamalu framed the action by stressing the link between housing costs and homelessness. “When [housing] is prohibitive and when it is high, it is the main driver of housing instability and homelessness,” she said, recounting a 2019 county tour of housing authority inventory that influenced her view of the agency’s importance.

Grant Jechs, identified in the meeting as chair of the Davis Community Housing Authority board, thanked the commission for the appointments. “On behalf of the Davis Community Housing Authority, we thank the commissioners,” Jechs said. He said the authority will continue to focus on expanding lower-income housing in Davis County and working to reduce homelessness.

The commissioners noted that the Davis Community Housing Authority is not county government but a county partner. Commissioners also recognized the professional experience the new members bring: Anderson noted Tricia Davis Winters’s state-level housing experience, including prior work in homeless services and her current role with the state’s Housing and Community Development program; Ryan Steinbeagle was singled out for his work on grants and local programs.

The discussion at the dais emphasized partnership and implementation rather than new policy decisions. No additional motions or follow-up assignments were recorded during the appointment discussion.

The meeting record indicates the appointments will take effect Oct. 1, 2025, and run through Sept. 30, 2029. The commission recorded the vote on the grouped motion that included these appointments as approved by voice vote.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","09-30-2025 Commission Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","The Davis County Commission approved appointments to the Davis Community Housing Authority board and commissioners used the moment to emphasize housing affordability and its link to homelessness.","taxTitle","Davis County Commission, Davis County Boards and Commissions, Davis County, Utah","taxId",67542,"location","Utah","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6426793,"Davis County Commission approves grouped business items including $19.9M UDOT reimbursement and several contracts",139,736000,875000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5863353-4e91a30de27a35c15516cf495f00e941&start=736&end=875","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5863353-4e91a30de27a35c15516cf495f00e941/thumbnail_736000.jpg","/articles/6426793/Utah/Davis-County-Commission-approves-grouped-business-items-including-199M-UDOT-reimbursement-and-several-contracts","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6426793-4cb2cfb6f3f8ab2599058c082267e9c6/orig.mp4?Expires=1770843006&Signature=ixCzQj51TBb514Tmtk8G970Ke9LcnxmGQf8~uNkepSFFQtFEA9ZL7y0266hAhPff00-fYGINlBUndguosz25EHs~rJoOxq4A8WgrtejfzihoFeeCz-bpPL36liwgTFFlaIl7mIWbaFNnxi4-dQTP6Kz5RY5-E40lN4yNItg3xy4IN0nzrOPOk1z1cCiRDDOtUmV-ubURekMRyKWfzCrAJNb54ZIjemAsMG5UV65DdimFVa5JE7NS7FA0VmUsxWtCwSQe1qUSz3QpSOCDrE4pq0S6wTGhhykAVhNN~xcLqQUzFmc1KM4HpRjjMSx6mPdGpFnIqwsoMe-jQlYIF3nEbA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Davis County Commission approved a set of grouped business items and several standalone contracts at its meeting, including a reimbursement agreement with the Utah Department of Transportation for land purchases related to the West Davis Corridor project.

County Clerk Brian McKenzie told commissioners two scheduled commission meetings would be canceled: Oct. 7 (commissioners out of county) and Nov. 11 (Veterans Day). The commission approved that administrative schedule change by voice vote.

Kent Anderson, director of Community and Economic Development, outlined multiple items the commission approved as a grouped motion (items 3–7):
• A receivable grant agreement from the Utah Office of Tourism for the Utah Cooperative Marketing Program to support a \"Discover Davis 2026\" campaign, $182,250, term beginning Aug. 29, 2025 through April 1, 2027; described in the meeting as a 1-to-1 match.
• A payable contract with Root Bridal Solutions to develop an organizational strategic plan for the tourism division, $20,500, term Sept. 30, 2025 through March 31, 2026; meeting remarks stated $10,250 would be paid in 2025 and the remaining $10,002.50 in 2026 (that split appears in the transcript; the two amounts do not sum to the listed contract total).
• Appointments to the Davis Community Housing Authority board (Grant Jechs, Sue Stevenson, Tricia Davis Winters and Ryan Steinbeagle), terms Oct. 1, 2025–Sept. 30, 2029 (see separate article).
• A reimbursement agreement with the Utah Department of Transportation for acquisition of remaining parcels for the West Davis Corridor up to the Weber County boundary, payable $19,999,998, term beginning Sept. 30, 2025 and ending Oct. 31, 2030. Anderson said approximately $11.7 million is expected to be spent in the current budget year.
• Authorization to issue a notice of sale for a small surplus real property (tax ID 021520040) along Ricks Creek in Centerville, listed at $150, sale date Oct. 6, 2025; the county property committee recommended the sale and county staff review was noted.

The grouped motion to approve items 3–7 carried by voice vote; the transcript records the motion and a vocal \"Aye\" but does not provide a roll-call tally.

Separately, controllers and department directors presented and won approval for several contracts and administrative items:
• Item 8: Contract to hire hearing officer Jeremy Manning to conduct Board of Equalization hearings and provide recommendations; payable at $100 per hour, starting at the end of the month and extending through 2030. Approved by motion.
• Item 9: Agreement with Certified Sales and Service Inc. for flooring removal and installation at the Kaysville branch library, $46,627.72, Sept. 15, 2025–Dec. 31, 2025. Approved by motion.
• Health Department: An amendment for sexually transmitted disease intervention services with the Utah Department of Health and Human Services, receivable $7,500 (2025–2026); and an agreement with the University of Utah Utah Poison Control Center for educational outreach, $3,000 (Sept. 1, 2025–Aug. 1, 2026). Both items were approved.
• Sheriff’s Office: Approval of an agreement with Dr. Jason L. Taylor for emergency medical services (terms not specified in the transcript). Approved by motion.

The Board of Equalization convened and presented a property tax register; commissioners approved the register. Scott Park, the county controller, said the register included 12 appeals, 11 abatements, 5 corrections, and 11 assessor adjustments totaling $1,100,000 in value; the commission approved the listed corrections and adjustments.

Most items were approved by single motions or voice votes with no recorded roll-call breakdown in the transcript. Commissioners did not request substantive amendments to the contracts or interlocal agreements presented during the meeting.

The meeting also included announcements: the county’s pre-election test and audit will be open to the public at 10 a.m. Friday, Oct. 10; ballots begin arriving Oct. 14 for municipal elections affecting 14 of the county’s 15 cities; and a public pre-election town hall and tour is scheduled for Oct. 15 at 6 p.m.

Votes at a glance (as recorded in the meeting):
• Cancel Oct. 7 and Nov. 11 commission meetings — approved (voice vote).
• Items 3–7 (tourism grant; tourism strategic-plan contract; DCHA appointments; UDOT reimbursement agreement; surplus property sale notice) — approved (grouped motion, voice vote).
