Advisory board unanimously approves spending remaining rural grant funds on pitch competition, local events and small-business help
Summary
The Duchesne County Economic Advisory Board voted unanimously to split its remaining Rural County Grant funds among a pitch competition, a Sunnyside community event and targeted aid for Outlaw's Barbecue. The board also approved prior meeting minutes and closed out Main Street matching grant reports.
The Duchesne County Economic Advisory Board approved prior meeting minutes and unanimously authorized spending the balance of its Rural County Grant (RCG) funds on a set of community and business-support projects.
Irene Hansen moved to approve the minutes as presented; the motion carried without objection. Later in the meeting, Chair staff read a closeout of Main Street matching grants and noted four applications—Higher Healing, Nourish, Ross Quick Change and Vengeance Power Sports—still need county commission approval.
Facing a remaining RCG balance of $7,828.88 after stipends, the chair proposed a split of the funds across three priorities: the Duchesne County Chamber of Commerce's pitch competition, a Sunnyside community event scheduled for June 27, and supplemental aid to Outlaw's Barbecue to replace failed equipment. Jenny Adams moved to spend the remaining funds as proposed; the motion was seconded and passed unanimously.
Board members emphasized these would be project-based uses of RCG funds and would follow state reporting requirements for consultant hires or subgrants. Irene Hansen, who made the initial motion to approve minutes, later supported the funding decisions and called the recommended projects "great projects" for the county. The board did not set dollar amounts for each subgrant in the meeting notes; staff said they would draft a spreadsheet and follow up with precise allocations and any necessary commission dockets.
