Summary
At its meeting the Davis County Board of Health approved minutes from November 2024 and voted to send a letter to the county commission recommending reappointment of four existing board members to preserve continuity through the year.
The Davis County Board of Health approved minutes from its November 2024 meeting and voted to forward a recommendation to the county commission to reappoint four current members to additional terms.
Board members said the recommendation is intended to preserve continuity on the board for the remainder of the year. Brandon Hatch, who presented the executive committee’s recommendation, told the board the committee favored “recommend[ing] that the board stay presently constituted moving it forward.” He said he had spoken with all four nominees and that three had indicated they were willing to serve another term; he said the chair was also willing to continue.
The executive committee asked to send a letter on behalf of the board recommending reappointment of the two members they had missed at the prior meeting (identified in the meeting as “Brandon” and “Dr. Stewart”), the current chair and a member named Troy. Hatch said the chair’s and Troy’s terms end in June and that keeping the existing membership would maintain consistency through the rest of the year. He also said one other board member, Dr. Taylor (the dental seat), has indicated she will step down at the end of her term and that the board will recruit a replacement dentist.
The board conducted voice votes. A motion to approve the November minutes was moved and seconded and approved by voice. A separate motion — to direct staff to send the reappointment recommendation letter to the county commission — was also moved, seconded and approved by voice vote. No roll-call tallies were recorded in the meeting transcript.
Board members noted the need to recruit a dentist to fill the seat Dr. Taylor is vacating. Hatch asked members to forward names for consideration; the executive committee will review nominees and prepare the communication to the commission.
The board did not take any final personnel actions at the meeting; the approved motions were limited to approving minutes and forwarding reappointment recommendations to the commission.
