Summary
The council approved an interlocal agreement transferring a $10,000 local match to Salt Lake County to secure a grant for safety improvements on the Jordan River Trail at 3300 South. Staff said the funding is budgeted and that the county must complete internal budget steps before construction can begin.
The South Salt Lake City Council on Oct. 29 approved a resolution authorizing an interlocal agreement with Salt Lake County to provide a $10,000 local match for a grant-funded safety project on the Jordan River Trail at 3300 South.
City staff reported several safety concerns and reported assaults near a dark bridge where the trail meets 3300 South. Staff and county officials jointly applied for a grant to build a safer connection at the site; the grant requires a local match. A city staff member identified as Carl said the city has budgeted the $10,000 in a miscellaneous mobility fund and can transfer the funds to the county to enable project delivery.
Councilmember Leanne moved the resolution; Clarissa Williams seconded. The council approved the interlocal agreement by roll call. Staff said project timing depends on the county’s budget amendment process; the earliest construction estimate offered was spring or summer pending county actions.
