The Davis County Commission on Oct. 21 approved a four‑item package from the county’s community and economic development office that included hotel‑motel vouchers for homeless families, a receivable agreement with a sports renter, a fee waiver for a community concert and a contract amendment for a contractor’s compensation.

Kent Anderson, director of community and economic development, told commissioners the county proposes a $10,000 payable agreement with Open Doors to provide hotel‑motel vouchers to homeless families during a code‑blue winter period for the 2025–26 season. Anderson described the item as payable beginning Oct. 15, 2025, and ending April 30, 2026.

Anderson also described a receivable agreement with Jazz Basketball Investor LLC, doing business as the Utah Jazz, for Bantam League basketball. The county showed a receivable of $118,777.50 for the period from Oct. 15, 2025, to April 1, 2026, and an offered discount of $18,572 “to continue to get weekly daytime renters” for hourly court use at Western Sports Park, Anderson said.

The commission approved waiving normal nonprofit fees to allow the Community Interfaith Christmas Concert to use Western Sports Park for a free community event proposed for Nov. 13–17, 2025; Anderson said the group had hoped to use Layton High School’s auditorium, which is still under construction, and had used other county venues in the past.

The package also included approval of an amendment to contract 2025‑0329 with Cheyenne Twitchell that adjusts compensation for the 2025 and 2026 budget years. The amendment is payable up to $28,000 total (listed as $15,500 in 2025 and $12,500 in 2026), described on the agenda as an $8,500 increase from the original contract and effective Feb. 1, 2025, through Dec. 31, 2026.

During public comment before the agenda item, Drew Chamberlain of Layton urged commissioners to decline spending on a ski bus, calling for budget cuts. Anderson responded during the CED presentation that the ski bus is a partnership among Snowbasin, the Utah Transit Authority, Layton City and Morgan County and that its funding comes from the county’s Proposition 1 fourth‑quarter sales tax distribution; he said a proposed county tax increase would not affect those funds.

Commissioner John Cross moved to approve items 1–4 as presented; the motion was seconded and carried on a voice vote. The transcript records the commissioners responding “Aye.”

The items will be implemented by the community and economic development office as described on the agenda; the motion did not attach additional conditions or amendments.
