COURTESY OF SUMMIT COUNTY Summit County voters decided the races for top positions in several East Side cities on Tuesday. Results from the election are scheduled to be finalized after each municipality holds its official canvass. Kamas McCormick works as a lab manager for the Utah Department of Transportation’s region materials lab, which tests road materials. He has lived in Kamas his entire life and is a former two-term City Council member. McCormick said the community clearly wants a leader who can provide “fresh eyes and a fresh look at things.” “I think they are feeling like this is an opportunity for a new perspective,” he said. McCormick said he does not have any immediate plans once he steps in to office. However, he said, he is determined to encourage residents to become more involved in the city’s future, including establishing a citizen’s advisory council. “We need to find a way to get as many people involved as possible,” he said. “That is my goal.” City Council contenders Allen McNeil and Garry Walker, a current Kamas City Planning Commissioner, received the most votes with 283 and 282, respectively, to take the two open seats. Amy Yost and Kim Steed were defeated after receiving 221 and 70 votes apiece. McNeil said he was extremely pleased with the results. He said he felt fortunate to be elected considering the depth of the candidate field. “I think what I offered during my campaign that people were looking for is the legal advice that I can provide,” he said. “Issues need to be carefully examined and see what courses and what options the city has and not just lay down when there may be other legal options for the city.” Before tackling his priorities, McNeil said leaders need 10/19/17 9:35 AM East West Health is the only clinic in Utah to carry Charlotte’s Web, the World’s Most Trusted Hemp Extract.

Voters selected the former Kamas City Councilor to succeed four-term Mayor Lew Marchant in the city’s top position. Marchant chose not to seek re-election. McCormick, with 284 votes, defeated current City Council member Kevan Todd, with 181 votes, according to the preliminary results. “I’m excited and I’m surprised,” he said. “I’m really just in shock at the responsibilities that I have coming my way. But, I’m grateful that people put that much faith into my ability to help the city.” Voters in Summit County’s municipal elections decided the races for the top positions in several East Side cities. The mayor’s job and two city council seats were on the ballots in Kamas, Oakley, Henefer, Francis and Coalville. According to the preliminary results from the Summit County Clerk’s Office, approximately 5,223 residents cast ballots in the election, representing 48.55 percent of the electorate. A breakdown of where the ballots were cast will not be available until the results are finalized. Results are scheduled to be finalized after each municipality holds its official canvass. |
