Requested Agenda Title:
Title
A Resolution of the Salt Lake County Council Authorizing Execution of an Interlocal Agreement with the Department of Public Safety, Division of Emergency Management
Body
Requested Agenda Item Description: In 2019, the County was approached by the State of Utah regarding their annual Be Ready Utah Conference. The Be Ready Utah annual conference is the state’s official emergency preparedness campaign managed by the Utah Department of Public Safety’s Division of Emergency Management (DEM). The state wanted to hold their next two conferences at the Mountain America Expo Center and were asking for a rental fee waiver for these two years. As this conference is open to the public and has an obvious public benefit, we were happy to partner with the state and offer them a 50% fee waiver for the 2020 and 2021 events. An agreement was drafted and the County Council approved it. Unfortunately, due to the pandemic the state cancelled the 2020 and 2021 conference. Recently, the state approached the County once again asking if we would consider amending the original agreement and update conference dates to 2022 and 2023 and offer the same fee waiver. The updated documents reflect this date change.
