Davis County commissioners on April 14 approved several health department agreements and grant amendments intended to bolster public‑health services.
Director Brian Hatch presented an amendment increasing funding for the DREAM 2024 disease response program by $67,954 to support a measles response and described a $200,000 amendment (Amendment #4) to the Preschool Development Grant (PDG) B‑5 activity, which he said is "for a home visiting program serving children from birth to age eight." The board also approved a $8,500 receivable agreement with the National Environmental Health Association to improve the Retail Flexible Funding Model (RFFM) for food standardization, inspection and training, and agreements enabling the Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program with local vendors.
Motion to approve items 3–7 was made by Commissioner Bob Stevenson and seconded by Commissioner Lorene Kamalu; all present voted aye. Director Hatch said the additional DREAM funding is specifically for measles response work and the PDG funds will support home visiting services within the county.
The grants and agreements have varying terms; the DREAM amendment covers Jan. 5 through July 31, 2026, while the PDG amendment covers through Dec. 30, 2026.
