Weber County recognizes longtime staff and trust leader at May meeting

The Weber County Commission opened its meeting with two recognitions on May 12, honoring county employee Becca Flint and longtime Homeless Trust Fund leader Jan Zogmaster.

Chris Crockett of the county attorney’s office introduced Becca Flint and described her as a welcoming presence across departments; commissioners presented her with the commission’s monthly "stall of fame" award and a small gift while colleagues offered brief tributes. "Becca was always there to greet with a smile," Crockett said, and commissioners added their appreciation for her longtime service.

The commission and community members then recognized Jan Zogmaster for her work preserving and guiding the Weber County Homeless Trust Fund. Kevin Eastman, chair of the trust, traced the fund’s history to its 2004 establishment and the initial donation that seeded the account. He said that, after a period where committee leaders paused distributions to protect capital, the fund has recovered and now "sits above $1,600,000," allowing award decisions to resume on a sustainable basis.

Bob Hunter and others gave examples of Zogmaster’s role in housing initiatives, including organizing the Weber Housing Authority and securing sustained appropriations that have benefited hundreds of residents. Zogmaster, who served as the trust’s chair for about 15 years, thanked colleagues and recalled the community work that motivated her public service.

The recognitions were ceremonial; no formal county policy or funding change was made during these presentations. The commission moved next into routine business and presentations on other agenda items.
