The West Valley City Council on Nov. 26 approved an interlocal agreement with the county to receive Traffic-Related Community Co-benefit (TRCC) funding totaling $923,840 for phases 1 and 2 of Veterans Park. The agreement requires the city to commit $672,000 in matching funds to the project.

Why it matters: The grant provides substantial outside funding for park construction, with a required local match that the city must budget and commit to complete the two phases.

Council action and votes: Councilmembers voted to approve resolution 24-159. The motion passed by majority; the meeting record shows at least two councilmembers recorded as voting no. The mayor and a majority of council members voted yes.

What staff said: Staff presented the interlocal agreement terms and the grant amounts. No public comments were recorded on the item during the hearing.

Next steps: With council approval the city will enter the interlocal agreement and must account for the $672,000 local commitment in its capital project budgets and schedules. Staff will coordinate with the county for fund disbursement and project delivery.
