Candidates are required to declare candidacy by filing a Declaration of Candidacy form in person at the City Recorder’s office in City Hall. However, a candidate can declare via proxy if the candidate will be out of town the entire week of declaration. Candidate filing begins at 8 a.m. June 1, 2023 and ends at 5 p.m. June 7, 2023 (excluding Saturday and Sunday). A non-refundable filing fee of $100 will need to be submitted at the time of filing.
Each candidate for office must affirm when they file their candidate filing form that they meet (or will meet within constitutional and statutory deadlines) the qualifications prescribed by the Constitution and laws of the United States, the State of Utah, and Davis County. Candidates must be a U.S. citizen, a registered voter, may not be a convicted felon (unless the right to hold elective office has been restored) and a resident of Kaysville for 12 consecutive months preceding the date of the election.
a Trader Joe’s in my city.” Tran said there are banners up around the city and flyers being distributed.
Tran said after the May 31 deadline, Trader Joe’s will take the data, conduct a site visit, and make their selection. She said the corporate headquarters review site recommendations twice a year and Kaysville is hoping to know by fall whether they are the lucky winners. Although there are multiple local development and business happenings, Tran said “this type of business can revitalize an older commercial area, open the door to attract additional businesses and restaurants, and just bring new energy and people to the Kaysville community.” She said the community group has done their homework and hopes for an exciting and rewarding outcome.
Be sure to cast your vote for Kaysville for the next Utah Trader Joe’s location. For more information, visit the website: traderjoeskaysville.com or see the daily posts and request progress on their Facebook page: TraderJoesKayville. l
The city has contracted with Davis County for many years to run their municipal elections. The county has the equipment and resources needed to carry out an election and is willing to make them available to the city in holding its municipal primary and general elections in 2023. “At this time there are not any referendums or initiatives for the ballots, so it is looking like a fairly straightforward election year,” said City Recorder Annemarie Plaizier. If more than six candidates declare, the Primary Election will be held on Aug. 15, 2023. The Municipal General Election will be held on Nov. 7, 2023.
“I will continue to update information about the election on the city website at: www. kaysville.gov/347/Elections.” Plaizier said. Further details about the Declaration of Candidacy process and an information packet will be available on the website or in the Recorder’s Office sometime in May. Please contact City Recorder Annemarie Plaizier at 801-546-1235 with any questions.l
