Cache County Council appoints George Danes as interim county executive
Summary
The Cache County Council appointed George Danes as interim Cache County Executive following a nomination by the local Republican Party and administered his oath of office. Danes said he will reorganize the executive office and prioritize the county budget process; the council accepted a resignation effective on his appointment.
The Cache County Council voted to appoint George Danes as interim Cache County Executive and administered his oath of office during its public meeting.
The appointment followed a statement that Chair Natalie Levi of the Cache County Republican Party had notified the council of the party’s selection of Danes. Citing the statute referenced in the meeting record (transcript text: 'Utah Code 2 20 ADash1Dash508'), the council moved to appoint Danes. Councilman Nolan Gunnell moved to approve the appointment; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote.
At his swearing-in, George Danes thanked the council and residents and described his plans. "I do want to thank all of you, council and those here for the opportunity to serve this county again," Danes said. He noted prior service in the county attorney’s office and said he plans to reorganize the executive office and to "catch up" on the budget process over the coming weeks.
Danes also reported that he had received the resignation of Eric Anderson, which he said is effective upon Danes' appointment. The council formally invited Danes to take his seat and provided a nameplate.
The council did not record a roll-call vote tally in the transcript; the minutes reflect a voice vote in favor and no recorded opposition. The meeting record does not identify who seconded the motion by name beyond the chair’s spoken second.
What happens next: Danes said his office will focus on reorganization and the budget in the coming weeks. No further formal actions tied to the appointment were recorded in the transcript.
