Economic and community development subcommittee prioritizes 32 requests, uses TANF for five items
Summary
The subcommittee reported 78 total budget requests and said it prioritized 32 items for roughly $65 million in one-time funding and $5.7 million ongoing; organizers also identified $18.8 million in TANF one-time funds to replace five legislative requests.
Co-chairs of the Economic and Community Development Subcommittee told the Executive Appropriations Committee the panel reviewed 78 budget requests — 65 legislator requests and 13 agency requests — and prioritized 32 items.
The subcommittee reported total requests of $119.5 million one-time and $12.92 million ongoing. It said it prioritized 32 items totaling about $65,000,001 one-time and $5,700,000 ongoing; remaining unprioritized items totaled roughly $22.6 million one-time and $3.4 million ongoing. The subcommittee said it reallocated approximately $1.5 million in ongoing funds and $1.8 million in one-time funds and that staff found five legislative requests that could be funded with $18.8 million in Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) one-time funds.
Co-chairs said the subcommittee consolidated agency and legislator requests into a single prioritized list and attached technical corrections, adjustments and intent language to the report. During the presentation Representative Daley (Provo) asked for clarification about which items were funded with TANF; staff and the co-chairs indicated the items are listed in the subcommittee packet and agreed to follow up to identify the specific lines for members who could not see the packet navigation.
The chairs emphasized that the list reflects the subcommittee’s view of the highest-priority items for economic and community development and that further refinements and staff follow-up would continue as the legislative process proceeds.
Why it matters: Prioritization determines which economic and community projects are most likely to receive funding this session; the use of TANF funds and reallocations affects how other requests are treated and which programs move forward.
