Happy June! There are several annual municipal requirements coming up next month, so be sure to check in with the ULCT Annual Municipal Calendar for reminders of those requirements, as well as discussion suggestions for your governing and advisory bodies.


Moderate Income Housing Reports (if applicable for your community) are also just around the corner, so please schedule time to meet with me if you would like one-on-one assistance in working on your MIHP report before the August 1st deadline.


Utah Department of Workforce Services (DWS) Emergency Food Assistance Grant - Opens July 1

For more information and DWS contact information, please visit the Emergency Food Assistance program page.


Governor's Office of Economic Opportunity (GOEO) Rural Employment Development Incentive (REDI) - Due August 15

If there are businesses within your community that are creating new employment positions, the REDI grant is designed to support the creation of those new roles in rural Utah. Local businesses may receive up to $6,000 for each new position created, so please pass along this opportunity to private entities in your community that may qualify.

Governor's Office of Economic Opportunity (GOEO) APEX Office Assistance

If your municipality does not already have a System for Award Management (SAM)/Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) number, Utah's APEX office can help register your entity with the federal contracting system at no charge.

Is your municipality hosting a summer event or celebration? Let me know so I can spotlight it in an upcoming edition of the LAA Connection! Just reply to this email with the details and I'll include it in the July or August edition.
