Weber County Commissioners Sharon Bolos, Gage Rohrer and Jim Harvey hosted “County Clash,” a game‑show style event in April 2025 at the Auganethals Conference Center inside the Golden Spike Event Center to mark County Government Month and spotlight county departments and programs.

The event paired county offices in a light‑hearted quiz competition for employees, with Jason Horn of the Clerk-Auditor’s Office moderating and helping decide which teams advanced. Commissioner Sharon Bolos opened the program, saying, “April is County Government Month, and here at Weber County, we'd like to celebrate with a friendly competition among departments.”

Why it matters: the event served as both employee recognition and public education, highlighting everyday county services — from passport processing and land records to public health and corrections programs — and calling attention to several county initiatives that affect residents.

During the competition, teams answered questions about county operations and recent programs. Notable facts presented during the event included that Weber County’s assessor’s office valued more than 109,000 parcels in 2024, including roughly 3,000 mobile homes and about 12,500 business and personal property accounts; county libraries logged about 1,000,000 visits in 2024; and the county recorded 1,186 animal adoptions at a county bridal show. The Clerk-Auditor’s Office was identified as the office that issues passports, marriage licenses and manages elections.

The program also highlighted current county initiatives. The sheriff’s office described RISE (Recovery, Intervention, Support and Empowerment according to the event exchange), a residential substance‑use treatment collaboration aimed at men incarcerated at the Weber County Correctional Facility. A county economic development question noted a local partner, identified in the contest as KuEnergy, is converting methane from a closed landfill into renewable energy. The county identified Everbridge as its new mass‑notification system for emergencies.

Contestants answered items about public health and safety as well: a team member identified Cryptosporidium as the microscopic parasite that can spread in public pools, and another correctly named Powder Mountain as the county ski area noted in the event as the largest in North America by acreage. The Weber Morgan Health Department was referenced when a question pointed to the department credo “prevent, promote and protect” appearing on a county vehicle.

Dispensing Justice, a team representing the county attorney’s/related offices, defeated We Tried in the final round and was crowned the County Clash winner. The event producers acknowledged county staff and the Imagination Company for recording the program.

The County Clash was presented as an internal educational and morale activity rather than a policy forum; no formal county decisions, votes or policy actions were taken or recorded during the event.
