Meeting of July 25, 2025

Good afternoon. I'd like to call this meeting of the Davis County Fiscal Court to order. Today is Friday, July 25, 2025, and it's 12:00 noon. Um, just for those who might be watching or here in the audience, Commissioner Cassen is joining us remotely as as he's unable to be here in person. Uh, Commissioner Condra, if you would lead us in the prayer and the pledge, please. — Thank you, sir. if you would please. Dear Lord, on this day you've given us, yes, a hot day, a hot week, a hot month actually, we ask for these blessings on each and every one of us. The blessing of compassion that many times in an angry society, an angry world, compassion sometimes struggles to punch through. for humility, that we are servant leaders, that we recognize what those words mean, that it's not about us, it's about your people. The blessing of kindness so individuals know we care.

And the blessing of love, love of all your people each and every day. Please protect all of our first responders, especially those that are here and their families. Their families that have to deal with them being gone and knowing when the alarm goes off that their loved one might be there. Protect them always. Finally, dear Lord, give us the blessing of entertaining angels unaware. Hebrews 13:2. Whenever we do that, all those that we don't know may be struggling, give them peace and allow us to give them love. We ask this in your name. Amen. And now the pledgece to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands. One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. — Want to welcome all of our first responders that are here. Appreciate you all taking a few minutes

to join us. and uh Brooke. First item — one consideration for presentation a executive order 06-2025 solid waste working committee. — This is um a a presentation. We won't be voting on this. Uh Mr. Johnson, if you would. — Fiscal court created three standing committees in the adoption of the fiscal year 2526 administrative code with their membership and composition to be accomplished by executive order. This is the executive order for the solid waste working committee which will replace the Davis County solid waste environment and education panel otherwise known as DC sweep. This item does not require approval by the legislative body. However, it is included under consideration for presentation for inclusion in the permanent record. — Thank you, Mr. Johnson. Next item, Brooke. — B. Executive order 07-2025, Parks and Recreation Working Committee. — Mr. Johnson. — As with the prior item, this is the executive order for the Parks and Recreation Working Committee, which will replace the Davis County Parks Board. Again, this item does not require approval by the legislative body. Just entering it into the record. — Thank you, Mr. Johnson. Next item.

— C. Executive Order08-2025, Emergency Preparedness Working Committee. — So, this is our last one. Go ahead again, Mr. Johnson. — Um, same as the two items prior. This is the executive order for the emergency preparedness working committee which will focus on review of emergency plans and policies. Again, no approval required, just entering it into the record. — Thank you. Next item. — Two, consideration for approval. A minutes of July 10, 2025 Davis County fiscal court meeting. — Motion to approve. Second. — Got a motion second. We've all had the minutes for a few days to re review. Do I hear any additions, deletions, or corrections? — No. — Hearing none. All those in favor signify by saying I. I. — I. — B. All claims for all departments. — Motion to approve. — Second. — Got a motion and second. These are all the bills due and payable by Davis County Fiscal Court. Do are there any questions for Mr. Johnson? Hearing none. All those in favor signify by saying I. — I. — I. — C. Treasurers report for June 2025 and final settlement.

— Motion to approve. — Second. You got a motion. Second, Mr. Johnson. — As of June 30th, 2025, total cash balance is 76,94,194.78. General fund balance is 47,210,150.111 minus operating reserve and restricted funds cash for general fund operations for fiscal year 2526 is 37,437,62825 though the ending cash balance for the general fund may appear high in the last court meeting 6.3 million of transfers from the general fund were approved that will manifest in the July 2025 report as is the normal fluctuation of fund activity. I reviewed all account activity within the treasures report that was adjusted throughout the month of June with budget transfers. All variances were normal and explainable. All funds operated for the fiscal year 2425 within expected ranges outside of anomalies that I've already reviewed with court members. I'm pleased to report that the county ended the fiscal year in a strong financial position with little debt. The county's current total outstanding principal balance for all

debt is 5.51 million set to be reduced by 1.15 million in fiscal year 2526. As to the beginning and ending balance changes for funds which are operating surpluses or deficits. All were expected minor and/or accounted for in budget transfers outside of the general fund. General fund had an operating surplus of 5.26 million. Approximately three million of that figure are projects that were not completed in the fiscal year that rolled over to the next. 1.45 million is state grant revenue for projects that have not yet started. 630,000 was a one-time deposit of the accumulated interest from the closure of the ARPA fund. The remainder is resultant from normal variability and revenue performance and efficiency initiatives by departments that materialized as savings throughout the year. In summary, after review of this activity, the county's tax structure is well balanced to cover approved operations and we are well positioned for future known expenses. I have nothing else to report. — Thank you, Mr. Johnson. If you if you would just for the sake of those who might be regular viewers of of our meetings, explain for the public why

we're we vote to accept the treasures report to on at this meeting, but all the other months we do not. It's simply a presentation — throughout the year. Uh the treasures report is monthly. It is simply reported to the court for presentation. However, the final report which is also um a representation of the fourth quarterly must be approved and accepted by the court by law. — Okay. Thank you. Uh all those in favor signify. Any other questions or comments? And all those in favor signify by saying I. I — I — D amendment to the salary schedule for fiscal year 2025 2026 effective July 20 of 2025. — Motion to approve. — Second. — Got a motion and second. Uh Mr. Johnson. This amendment to the salary schedule contains a single change whereby grade F4 is being adjusted from a starting rate of $3363 per hour to $31.98 per hour. The inspector position will be removed from grade F4 with the position of battalion chief in training taking

its place. This change is to accommodate the replacement of fire inspector Keith Herm, the only position currently recorded in grade F4, whereby his replacement will start as a battalion chief in training in grade F4. And once all applicable training has been completed, the individual would be eligible for a promotion to battalion chief in grade F5. This is a slight restructuring for this tier of the fire department where by the end result will be two battalion chiefs, one for fire training which is existing and one for fire inspections and investigations. This change does not increase the number of employees in the fire department but instead incorporates the replacement position into the leadership hierarchy. I would recommend your approval. — Thank you, Mr. Johnson. Any questions or comments from the court? — No. — Any questions or comments from the public hearing? None. All those in favor signify by saying I. — I. — E. Statement of affiliation for Davis County Search and Rescue. — Motion to approve. — Second. — Got a motion. Second, Mr. Johnson. — This is an annual affiliation agreement between Davis County and Davis County Search and Rescue. The document details the responsibilities of each party as well as the order of operation and
