In the November 2021 General Election, Kaysville residents approved the Recreation, Arts, Museum, and Parks (RAMP) Tax initiative. The RAMP tax adds $0.01 for every $10 spent on non-essential purchases within Kaysville City, excluding groceries and gas. All RAMP funds collected are dedicated to supporting recreation, arts, museum, and parks improvements, facilities, and organizations in the city.
Each year, the RAMP Advisory Board reviews applications, prioritizes requests, and awards funds to projects that meet the RAMP funding criteria.
This year, eight projects received RAMP funds, including:
- Music and equipment for Harmonic Winds of Utah
- Oaxaca En Utah’s "La Guelaguetza 2024" Festival
- Star Camps for kids with the Douglas Space & Science Foundation
- Services for Francis Peak residents to support participation in sports, wellness programs, and a theater trip
- The production of Mary Poppins at Hopebox Performing Arts
- Kaysville Museum Space Buildout
- Barnes Memorial Park Marquee
- Rail Trail improvements at the Flint Street trailhead
These projects reflect the community’s commitment to enriching the quality of life in Kaysville. The RAMP funds continue to play a vital role in enhancing recreational, cultural, historical, and educational opportunities for all residents.
