Davis County has done a great job with paramedic services since 1976. However, the County has grown in population tremendously since then! Layton City started its own paramedic service in 2001 and South Davis Metro Fire (North Salt Lake, Woods Cross, Bountiful, West Bountiful, Centerville) started their own in 2005.

For two years, a collaboration among all 15 cities, two fire districts, and the county have met to discuss the paramedic program and the growth in the county. Public safety and emergency response is taken very seriously by local governments, and their efforts to work together for the best service to residents is important.

Ultimately, the most desirable model became a transition of the paramedic program from the county to the cities and fire districts. The "Davis County Paramedic" line will be removed from annual property taxes. All Davis County cities will be assuming the paramedic services or will be contracting with another agency to fill this need. The transition will be complete by January 2022.

Each pantry pack includes 2 breakfasts, 2 lunches and several snacks. The pantry packs are distributed through the schools to at-risk children to help provide food over the weekends when they are at risk of going hungry. Thanks to all those who helped with this project!

Summer may be winding down, but there is still plenty of fun to be had and things to do before school starts again. Here are just a few of our ideas:

You won’t want to miss out on the outdoor concert scene this month: Station Park’s Rock the Park (Thursdays), Bountiful City’s Music in the Park (Fridays), Summer Concert Series at Kenley Amphitheater (Sundays).

Check out our local theatres for one (or all) of these amazing performances: The Rainmaker, Sister Act, Annie Get Your Gun, Shrek JR, and Beauty and the Beast. Or stop by Layton F.E.S.T. every Friday evening for food, vendors, and entertainment.

Other must-see events are going to be the Davis 4H Showcase (indoor exhibits) and Livestock Show. For all you golf fans out there, the Korn Ferry Tour Utah Championship is happening Aug 5th – 8th and is free for Davis County residents with a valid ID.

Recommendations include:

• Improvements and expansions at the existing Recreation Center
• A new Second Recreation Center on the west side of I-15 to accommodate growth within the district

The Recreation District is looking to pass a bond this fall. Key reasons for bonding for this upgrade and expansion are:

• Growth of 12,000 residents in the District since 2008 when the Rec Center was built. Expectation of 30,000 additional new residents by 2050.
• The existing facility shows signs of excessive wear and tear. Upgrades for safety and utility will benefit members.
• Current facilities limit the number of kids that can participate in programs such as swimming, soccer, and Jr. Jazz.

Community use of the recreational facilities remains high. Improvements proposed in the plan will ensure the SDRD can continue to effectively serve the aquatics, fitness, ice programming and recreation needs of the area for the 20-year future.
