FARMINGTON, Utah – The Davis County Commission met on Tuesday, July 1, 2025, for its regularly scheduled public meeting. The session included key recognitions, important fiscal decisions, and program updates across multiple departments.
Controller Resignation Announced
Commission Chair Lorene Kamalu formally announced the resignation of Controller Curtis Koch, who will conclude his service on July 15, 2025, after nearly three terms as an elected official. A special convention of the Davis County Republican Party will be held that evening to nominate a replacement to serve the remainder of the term. Lee Doug Stone will serve as interim Controller until a new one is confirmed.
Honoring Years of Service
More than a dozen long-serving County employees were honored for service milestones, ranging from 5 to 25 years. Honorees represented departments including Health, Human Resources, the Assessor’s Office, Clerk’s Office, Information Systems, and the Library. Commissioner John Crofts noted, “Davis County has some of the best employees on the planet,” reflecting on a successful Employee Appreciation Day.
Action Items and Community Investments
The Commission approved over a dozen Social Services and Community Development Block Grant agreements supporting local nonprofits and infrastructure—including funding for grief counseling, homeless shelter services, housing repairs, and a waterline replacement project in Bountiful.
In other approvals, the County:
- Ratified legal contracts for indigent defense services
- Approved agreements to support the County’s election services with several districts
- Approved a feasibility study for the Davis County Justice Complex
- Continued support for the Shooting Range reopening, with vendor and range-use agreements
- Passed funding for electric vehicle charging and trail resurfacing projects
Privacy Program Ordinance Tabled
The Commission voted to table Ordinance #2025-5, which would establish a formal Data Privacy Program under the Government Data Privacy Act (GDPA). Commissioner Crofts requested the delay, citing concerns that not all County department directors had reviewed the proposed ordinance.
