Three contenders for the Layton mayor's slot had already filed their intentions as of Monday morning, along with six for two council seats.

While Layton is generating by far the most interest, especially with three-term mayor Jerry Stevenson opting not to run again, there are incumbents and newcomers across the county who have officially announced their intentions.

Hopeful election victors come November have until Monday, Aug. 15, to file with their respective city recorder's offices.

That's the deadline for this year's elections, which are all municipal in nature. All mayoral slots are up for election and several city council seats in each community.

Only Fruit Heights is not seeing candidate filings. For many years, it has conducted political party conventions in September for the Pine Cone and Sage Brush parties.

Here is the rundown, as of Monday morning, in all South Davis communities and the three largest North Davis communities:

Bountiful: Incumbent Mayor Joe Johnson has filed, along with council member incumbents R. Fred Moss and Thomas B. Tolman. John M. (Marc) Knight is also seeking one of the two city council seats up for grabs.
