Davis County approves $1.8 million property purchase and increases WIC funding
Summary
The Davis County Commission approved a $1.8 million real estate purchase and multiple health‑department contract amendments, including $817,718 in additional WIC funding and grant receivables for maternal‑child and PREP programs; commissioners noted most funding is federal/state contract revenue.
The Davis County Commission on Oct. 21 approved several health‑department items, including a $1,800,000 commercial real‑estate purchase and increases to federal and state program funding.
The health director (introduced in the transcript as “Bridal Hatch”) presented the measures, telling commissioners the purchase involves tax ID 15-100-0002 and authorizes the chair to sign incidental documents. The director described the item as "payable in the amount of $1,800,000," a one‑time purchase.
The commission also approved a Maternal and Child Health block grant receivable of $126,297 (covering 2025 through Sept. 30, 2030), an amendment for the PREP program receivable of $93,000 for 2025–2026, and an increase in WIC funding of $817,718 for the 10/01/2025–09/30/2026 contract year.
On funding sources, the health director said these programs are funded largely by state and federal contract dollars rather than property taxes and cautioned that a federal government shutdown could delay future federal disbursements; "there is enough funds to run through the October, but this is the contract for next year," the director said, noting a shutdown would create "a little bit of an issue" for voucher distribution.
Commissioners moved, seconded and approved items 5–9 on a voice vote. The transcript records no roll‑call vote for these items; the motion passed by unanimous voice consent as recorded.
The director also noted that an earlier line item showing a $53,900 figure represented a shift from state to federal funds (a net reallocation). The commission did not attach additional conditions to the approvals. The items will be executed according to the contract terms and the dates specified in each agreement.
The commission moved on to other agenda business and adjourned after completing the scheduled items.
