| Mayor Behunin has been a resident of West Bountiful for 18 years. For nine years, James served on the Planning and Zoning Commission. In 2003 he was elected to the city council and in 2005 he was elected Mayor. | |
| While at BYU, James met and married Kathy Hubbard. In 1989, James and Kathy chose to move to West Bountiful because they enjoyed the open, rural feel of the community and because they felt it would be a great place to raise a family. Since that time, many of the open fields have turned into subdivisions and West Bountiful no longer feels quite as rural as it did when they moved here. Even so, the Behunins still believe West Bountiful is a great place to live and have worked to keep it that way. | |
| James and Kathy have four children. Aaron is twenty as is serving an LDS mission in the Family History Library in Salt Lake City. Matthew is 18 and is attending BYU. Rachel is 14 and attends Bountiful Junior High and Alison is 11 and attends West Bountiful Elementary. |
