IV. Discussion: Oquirrh Hills Performing Arts Alliance | Empress Theatre
Samantha summarized the board's conditional approval of Oquirrh Hill Performing Arts Alliance
provided that they submit the required audit materials by December 31, 2022. They were unable to
meet the requirement, so the board would need to revise their recommendation to $15,000 to be in
line with ZAP 1031 policy.
The board asked how this will impact the organization's reporting and future applications. Samantha
said that they will be able to sign a new contract, and adjust the programming outlined in their
application that will reflect their new award amount and will be able to adjust this for their
budget in their future application.

VI. Discussion: General Practices Work Committee Recommendation - WC Samantha summarized the work
performed by the general practices work
committee. She explained that there were many avenues the committee wanted to pursue, but were not
able to make any current recommendations under the short amount of time.
The committee did have focuses of revising the applications, and further practices to include
I.D.E.A initiatives into the ZAP application process, which will be performed over the next year.
VII. Discussion: Financial Work Committee Recommendation - WC
Samantha summarized the work done by the financial work committee. They were able to come up with
new thresholds for the additional required financial documents, to be updated with the 2023 CPI
Index.
The board discussed the new thresholds proposal, and thought it was in-line with the purpose of
Tier II.
Mayor Burton proposed adjusting the numbers slightly, using the Mountain Plains CPI Index instead
of the Western Plains CPI Index as used by the work committee. This would alter the numbers
slightly. The board members agreed with Mayor Burton.
VIII. Action Item: Approval of Work Committees' Recommendations - Monte Monte called for a motion.
Mayor Burton motioned to approve adjusting the Tier II additional requirements for applicants
applying for larger dollar amounts, with the thresholds being at up to
$21,999.99 no additional documents required, $22,000-$42,999.99 would require a Certified Financial
Review, $43,000-$84,9999 would require 1 year of Audited Financials of the organizations most
recently completed fiscal year, and $85,000 and above would require 3 years of Audited Financials
of the organization's most recently completed fiscal years. Ryan seconded and the motion passed
unanimously.
