Description/Agenda

Community Economic Opportunity Advisory Board Minutes Date: July 17, 2025 Daggett County Commission Chambers 95 North 1st West, Manila Utah 84046 Meeting called to order: 4:10 pm Present: Zac Whitwell, Justin Von Eberstein, Maretta Bair, Traci Frost, Jesse Platt Absent: Alena Smith Guests:Brian Raymond, Peggy White Approval of Minutes: Unanimous New Business: Grant Funding was from previous meeting was for: $100,000.00 in re-granting funds $63,000.00 Economic Development Budget $35,000.00 Audio Visual for the Community Center $2,000.00 for Workforce Development Re-granting dollar range to be $3K to $15K. Less than 3K is a time restraint. Zac is not aware of any set range that grants need to be. Send the grant information letters out by September 24, open applications October 1, must receive by Oct 31, 2025. Final decisions by November 14, 2025, contracts finalized from November 14, to December 6, 2025. Funds must be spent by August 31, 2025. Rubric: Peggy stated we need to add to the rubric to have a larger range of points for decisions. Maretta questioned not sending funding until the project was completed. They ordered a cappuccino machine, followed all the specs, then was told that the company did not service our area. They received their funds back and went to a different company. Funds could be reimbursed from the paid invoice and not replaced. Pictures of the finished product are required for final reimbursement. Jesse suggested a tour of the businesses after completion. Justin asked Zac about uncompleted grant funds. We can reallocate funds but we do not want to make a habit of it. Zac suggested that be part of the rubric. Grant spending timeline 1 Granted funding spent after deadline 3 Never had a grant or spent within last 30 days of grant time frame 5 Granted funding spent before last 30 days of grant time frame Applicants must have achievable goals set within the amount they request. Alternates were/will be selected in place of recipients who were unable to use the funds. One recipient was used as an example that funds need to be spent within the time frame. We need to use flexibility in the timing of the grant deadline. Based on our building time frame here some leeway may be necessary. Jesse suggested that wording in guidelines be that if funding was not used within guidelines future funding could be affected based on circumstances. Maretta suggested that if the grant is not fulfilled, the business is not eligible for the next round of funding. The only negative we heard from this program was that some business owners were not aware of the grant. However, letters, emails, flyer postings, Daggett County newsletter, and the Website were all utilized. Traci stated that responsibility is also up to the owners to stay informed. The meetings are public and posted. Peggy asked about raising the grant match. Zac recommended that it be a part of the rubric. A higher match gives more points to the applicant. Match numbers were 10% to 30%. Place this on the rubric for another scoring source. Matching Funds 1 for 10% match 1.5 for 15% match 2 for 20% match 2.5 for 25% match 3 for 30% match We agreed to add the flexibility of the scoring group to be able to add .5 to the point system if they fall between the scores in other rubric areas. Discussion ensued around equaling the 100K total. One applicant might get a little more or possibly a little less to meet the total. Wording will be put in the opening letter. Meeting Adjourned: 5:20 pm ___________________________ _________________________ Justin Von Eberstein Chairman Secretary
