In a recent government meeting, a heated discussion emerged regarding the upcoming cross-country meeting scheduled for October 5th at Yellow Creek Park, a property owned by Davis County taxpayers. Concerns were raised about the exclusion of certain children from participating in the event, particularly those who have been involved in cross-country races for years.

One speaker emphasized that while schools have the right to host events on their own property, it is inappropriate to restrict participation on county-owned land. The speaker argued that since Yellow Creek Park is a public space, all children should have the opportunity to compete, regardless of their affiliation with the KHA SA, an organization that requires participants to be high school students.

The speaker urged the county officials to reconsider the implications of allowing an event that excludes certain children from a public venue, highlighting the importance of inclusivity in community activities. A letter outlining these concerns was presented to the officials for further consideration. The discussion reflects ongoing tensions between organizational policies and community access to public resources.
