Summary

County commissioners approved a cooperative law-enforcement agreement with the U.S. Forest Service (placeholder $5,000 receivable, with amendment expected) and accepted a loan of electro‑optics from the Naval Surface Warfare Center Crane Division valued at $1,800.

Chief Deputy Arnold Butcher, speaking for the Davis County Sheriff’s Office, presented two public-safety items on Feb. 10.

Butcher outlined a cooperative law-enforcement agreement with the U.S. Department of Agriculture/Forest Service (Wasatch‑Cache National Forest). He said the $5,000 shown in the contract is a placeholder and that a federal amendment increasing funding is expected; these cooperative agreements support proactive patrols and first-response activities in the forested areas.

Butcher also described an agreement to receive loaned electro‑optics from the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division, a limited-value arrangement described as $1,800 and effective through Dec. 2027.

Both items were approved by voice vote. Butcher emphasized the sheriff’s office role as first responder in forested areas and indicated the USDA amendment will return for commission signature when finalized.
