Cache County Council Ordinance and Policy Review Committee Meeting
The committee discussed potential amendments to the restaurant policy and the RAPZ (Restaurant, Arts, Parks, and Zoo) tax program, specifically focusing on restricting the use of grant funds for indirect costs such as administrative overhead, facilities, and general operational expenses. The discussion centered on ensuring grant funds directly support specific projects rather than covering organizational operating costs. Members debated the necessity of tightening application requirements and considered seeking legal guidance on enforcing these restrictions, as well as providing a transition period for applicants to adapt to the proposed changes.
