HEBER -- The search for Wasatch County's first county administrator took eight long months, but the new County Council found its man Monday.
The new guy is the old guy -- sort of.
By a 5-1 vote, the council tapped Mike Davis, the acting county manager, to take the position permanently. Davis had served as water resources manager under the previous county commission form of government.

"The biggest challenge is to bring an understanding of the government to the people," Davis said. "They voted for a new way of doing things, and that's what we owe them."

Councilman Neil Anderton, the lone dissenting vote, said he would have preferred a candidate with more managerial experience.
"Mr. Davis is relatively new at this," Anderton said. "But I wish him well. I will work with him."
