Summary
City staff reported the public-safety dispatch switch from Davis County Sheriff to Bountiful will take effect Jan. 9, and that UDOT has proposed a 90-day closure of the Shepherd Lane overpass during reconstruction to shorten overall project time.
City staff told the Kaysville City Council on Dec. 5 that the city will switch its emergency dispatch services from the Davis County Sheriff's dispatch to Bountiful's on Jan. 9 at 6 a.m., a change staff described as producing significant cost savings.
Staff also said the council calendar may omit the April 3 meeting because it falls during Davis School District spring break and the city expects to hold budget work sessions in March and April.
In update on regional transportation, staff said the Utah Department of Transportation proposed tearing down the existing Shepherd Lane overpass and closing the crossing for approximately 90 days between May and August to accelerate construction. Staff said the shorter closure would likely complete the interchange by fall of next year, rather than in summer 2026, and that first responders and the school district had been consulted with no major concerns reported. Staff characterized the detour impacts as moderate and said alternate routes would be available.
Council did not take formal action on these items at the Dec. 5 meeting; staff said they would continue coordination with Bountiful dispatch, UDOT and partner agencies and would publish calendar changes.
