The Summit County Board of Health has chosen Deputy Director Phil Bondurant to fill the Health Department’s top post, opting against a broader candidate search in favor of continuity while the pandemic and its aftereffects linger.
Bondurant will succeed retiring Health Director Rich Bullough, whose last day will be Aug. 20. Officials said they would begin a nationwide search immediately for the next deputy director.
The health director oversees a department with 32 employees and a nearly $7 million budget. As the local health officer, the director has broad authority to shut down businesses and order quarantines, powers that Bullough exercised during the early months of the pandemic. The director also oversees vast swaths of programming ranging from mental health services to restaurant inspections to air quality monitoring.

The lawsuit was filed Wednesday in U.S. District Court on behalf of Holly and Mark McClure, whose children attend Park City High School and Treasure Mountain Junior High School.
, which has also been employed in other school districts in Utah, students must take rapid antigen tests every two weeks in order to attend class in person.
