County honors Jan Zogmaster for long service on Homeless Trust Fund; fund now 'above 1,600,000,' chair says
Summary
Kevin Eastman, chair of the Weber County Homeless Trust Fund, credited former commissioner Jan Zogmaster with helping preserve and rebuild the trust; Eastman said the fund now sits above $1.6 million after years of paused distributions and disciplined reinvestment.
Weber County commissioners used the meeting to honor Jan Zogmaster for long service to the county’s homeless trust committee and to describe the history and current financial position of the Weber County Homeless Trust Fund.
Kevin Eastman, chair of the Homeless Trust Fund, read prepared remarks that traced the trust’s establishment to December 2004 using proceeds from donated land, said early distributions threatened the fund’s longevity, and described the committee’s decision under Zogmaster’s leadership to pause distributions in order to protect capital. “Because of her leadership, the trust now sits above above 1,600,000 and continues to grow,” Eastman said.
Eastman described the current distribution formula as focused on market earnings and preserving the base for future grants. Commissioners and community members credited Zogmaster with long-term commitment to housing initiatives, noting her role organizing the Weber Housing Authority and pursuing legislative funding for local programs.
The item was ceremonial and informational; no funding award or new policy was approved at the meeting. The discussion provides updated context about the trust’s balance and distribution approach.
