Davis County Commission approves budget amendments, including $1 million DEQ grant for EV wrap program
Summary
The Davis County Commission unanimously approved a resolution amending the 2026 operating and capital budgets to recognize nearly $96,000 in state election equipment funding, a $1 million Department of Environmental Quality grant for an electric vehicle wrap program, and $123,000 in election‑petition revenue, among other adjustments.
The Davis County Commission on June 16 approved Resolution No. RES #2026-0022 to amend the county’s 2026 operating and capital budgets. County Controller Scott Parke presented the changes during a publicly noticed hearing and said the amendments recognize nearly $96,000 in state grant funding for election equipment, a $1,000,000 grant from the Utah Department of Environmental Quality for an electric vehicle (EV) wrap program, and $123,000 in new revenue for election‑petition processing.
Parke also outlined several internal adjustments: transferring a property‑management position from the municipal services general fund to the Facilities Fund (accompanied by a small remodel), authorizing approximately $64,000 in insurance proceeds to replace equipment damaged in a golf course fire, making interfund accounting changes for workers’ compensation, and correcting an omission of expenses in the original 2026 Inmate Services Fund budget. "The amendments reflect grant awards and corrections identified since the budget was adopted," Parke told the Commission.
Vice Chair Lorene Kamalu moved to open the public hearing; Chair John Crofts seconded the motion. No members of the public spoke during the hearing. The Commission then closed the hearing and approved the resolution unanimously.
Why it matters: the DEQ grant supports an EV wrap program that the controller identified as capital spending recognized after the original 2026 budget, while the election equipment and petition‑processing revenues help cover operational costs tied to upcoming elections. The transfer of a property‑management position and the insurance proceeds clarify internal fund responsibilities and restore previously omitted expenses.
The amendment was approved without recorded dissent. Next procedural steps: the Controller’s Office will implement the accounting transfers and record the grant revenues in the specified funds.
