09-15-2026 Regular Commission Meeting

The Davis County Government held its regular commission meeting on September 15, 2026, where key procurement and budget matters were discussed. A significant focus was on the approval of a new county option sales tax ordinance (referred to as the "fifth sales tax") to help fund critical county needs, including a $31 million new building for the County Attorney's Office, which is necessary due to the state reclaiming the current facility. The commission approved this ordinance after detailed discussion about the tax's impact and necessity for public safety and infrastructure. Additionally, the commission approved several interlocal agreements with cities such as Leighton and Bountiful for transportation infrastructure projects totaling over $1.6 million, and awarded contracts for civil engineering services to firms including Kimley Horn with terms extending up to seven years. Other procurement actions included approval of agreements related to the Davis County Shooting Range, a child passenger safety program, and a contract addendum with Atlas Technologies. The meeting also included the approval of the updated Davis County General Plan, which involved a $140,000 contract for planning and code rewriting services, partially grant-funded. Overall, the meeting featured multiple contract approvals, budget allocations, and policy decisions impacting future county procurement and infrastructure development.
