Human Resource Director Judy Stevenson presented the resolution and explained its purpose. The building rules attached as Exhibit 1 read: The County welcomes Service Animals, as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA Title iii-28 CFR Part 36) and under U.C.A. Sec. 26B-6-801. Other animals are not allowed in county buildings unless they are essential for an event sponsored by the county or hosted by the county. Service animal means any dog individually trained to do work or perform tasks for the benefit of an individual with a disability, including a physical, sensory, psychiatric, intellectual, or other mental disability. Other animals, whether wild or domestic, trained or untrained, are not service animals for this definition. The work or tasks performed by a service animal must be directly related to the individual’s disability. The crime deterrent effects of an animal’s presence and providing emotional support, well-being, comfort, or companionship do not constitute work or tasks for this definition.
