Council Approves Interlocal Reimbursement Agreement for Summit Park Construction

The Taylorsville City Council on May 7 approved Resolution 25‑O‑8, authorizing an interlocal cooperation agreement with Salt Lake County to reimburse the city for a portion of design and construction costs for Summit Park (project near 6232). Scott Harrington explained the agreement provides county “track funds” reimbursement for roughly one‑third of the park construction costs; the remainder was funded with transfers from city fund balance and smaller grants.

Why it matters: The interlocal agreement restores previously expended city funds into the capital account through reimbursement and supports the park’s completion without requiring additional immediate local taxation. Council members asked clarifying questions about the share of costs covered and how reimbursed funds could be used; staff said reimbursement will increase the city’s fund balance and can be directed to further park work or other priorities as approved by council.

Council action: Council member Knudson moved and the council approved the resolution by roll call (Knudson: yes; Barbieri: yes; Harker: yes; Burgess: yes; Cochran: yes). Staff noted the park’s playground, parking and other improvements are substantially taking shape on site and that reimbursed funds will be processed once the county agreement is executed.
