What is next for HB40?
HB40 can seem like a daunting and complex process, but there are many ways for you to learn more about it. The Kearns Community Council has been participating directly in this process for the last two years. Kevin Lundy has worked very hard to represent the concerns and needs of Kearns residents and is an excellent resource, as is the Kearns Community Council.

Request Funds for Community Projects
The Kearns Community Council believes that the best way to serve the citizens of Kearns is to initiate council specific projects and citizens committees to target particular issues and also partner with local groups already established in our community to promote the events and services they provide.
Salt Lake County has indicated that there might be additional monies available (year end) for viable Community Council projects. If you and/or your group have a project that needs funding please put together a proposal, download the Funds Request Form and bring it to a Community Council member as soon as possible for consideration.
You can send it directly to kevin.lundy@kearns-utah.org.
