Summary

Heritage Committee members reported event planning for Pioneer Day, and the mayor said the town is applying with a grant partner for state funds (state program totaling $11 million) to pay for park maintenance projects estimated at about $85,000.

The Heritage Committee reported July 2 that Pioneer Day preparations are underway: committee member Jana said about 27 people signed up so far for the splash-and-grab event and listed volunteers organizing entertainment, the race, cornhole, kids' games, vendors, auction and a car show. The committee expects additional sign-ups closer to the event; the next Heritage Committee meeting is scheduled for July 8, 2026.

Separately, Mayor Doug Clements said he is working with Nancy O'Toole on an application to a State of Utah grant program valued at $11 million statewide; the town's proposed list for park maintenance and access improvements totaled about $85,000 and included pavilion roof repair, jogging trails, restroom access upgrades and crosswalk painting at the school intersection. The mayor noted the grant requires funds to be spent by mid next year if awarded.
