Summit County Council interviews applicants for fire, recreation and cemetery boards

The Summit County Council on Feb. 25 interviewed candidates to fill multiple board vacancies, including an applicant for the North Summit Fire District and several applicants for Snyderville Basin Recreation and Snyderville Basin Cemetery boards.

The interview that began for the North Summit Fire District focused on the candidate’s construction and management background.
