The Summit County Council voted to approve an interlocal agreement that will allow the county to participate with neighboring cities in pursuing a UDOT technical planning assistance grant for a State Route 32 corridor and downtown city-center plans.
County staff member Carl requested the approval and said the county would contribute $5,000 from the transportation budget, combined with $10,000 from South Summit cities, to provide the local match needed to secure the UDOT technical planning assistance grant. Carl said the cities must all agree to provide their portion of the match; if one city declines, the partners would need to find the remainder of the match or alter the proposal.
There was brief clarification from council members about the grant total and match structure. Carl initially described the grant as a $150,000 UDOT technical planning assistance award with a $15,000 local match; at one point in the exchange staff referred to "a $135,000 grant with the $15,000 match," creating inconsistent wording during the meeting. Council members asked whether all partner cities had signed on; staff said two councils had voted to provide funding and they were awaiting the third.
Council member Candace (first reference in the meeting) moved to approve the interlocal agreement; the motion was seconded and the council voted "aye" to adopt the agreement as presented with no recorded opposition at the meeting.
The agreement was described as a notice-to-approve interlocal agreement; staff said the county's $5,000 contribution is already budgeted in the transportation section and therefore requires no new general-fund appropriation at this time. The project scope described by staff includes access management, safety, speed analysis, multi-user mitigation and downtown economic development and housing considerations for partner cities.
Next steps identified by staff included finalizing partner city commitments and proceeding with the grant application to UDOT.
