Commission accepts $891,171 CDBG award, approves tourism training contract
Summary
Davis County accepted a HUD Community Development Block Grant for $891,171 for FY24–25 and approved a services contract with Blueprint Creation (and Brad Anderson) to deliver tourism professional-development sessions (base $7,000, up to $10,000); the approvals were unanimous.
County staff presented two community-and-economic-development items: acceptance of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) for $891,171 covering 07/01/2024–06/30/2025, and a services contract with Blueprint Creation and Brad Anderson to provide a series of professional-development training sessions for the county's tourism partners. The presenter noted a partnership with Davis Technical College could rebate roughly 40% of program costs.
A commissioner moved to approve both items; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote with all commissioners recorded as 'aye.' No commissioner offered a recorded no vote.
The CDBG award will support county community development activities in fiscal-year 2024–25. The tourism contract is a fixed $7,000 engagement with potential additional payment (up to $10,000) depending on travel and number of attendees; staff said the program aims to improve customer service and sales skills among Davis County tourism partners.
