Davis County names new animal care director; commissioners preview town hall and library events
Summary
Commissioners introduced Michelle Hicks as the new Davis County animal care director and announced a Sept. 18 town hall on transparency and upcoming library events including a talk by Holocaust survivor Ben Lester on Aug. 27 and a Holocaust Museum exhibit at the Clearfield Library in September and October.
The Davis County Commission introduced Michelle Hicks as the county’s new animal care director and highlighted several community events during closing remarks.
A county official said Hicks comes from Salt Lake County and that the recruitment was competitive; an interview panel made a unanimous recommendation. Sydney, an animal care staff member, said Hicks was in her third full day on the job and "fitting in really well with the team." Michelle Hicks said, "I'm just excited to work for Davis County. I've lived in Davis County, except for 2 years in my early twenties," and thanked commissioners for the opportunity.
Commissioners also announced a town hall scheduled for Sept. 18 from 6–8 p.m. on the second floor of the historic county building to focus on transparency. Officials said they hope to invite the Davis Journal to participate. The commission highlighted upcoming library programming: a talk by Holocaust survivor Ben Lester on Aug. 27 and a multi-week Holocaust Museum exhibit at the Clearfield Library in September and October, supported by a grant the library received.
Speakers encouraged community attendance at the library programs and the town hall. The appointment of Hicks was presented as a staffing announcement rather than a formal vote; no separate personnel action was recorded in the meeting minutes during the introduction.
