Summary
The commission approved a funding award following TAB recommendation to help light Orem's new futsal courts; the award was reduced from the project's $90,000 request to the TAB recommendation and passed 3-0.
The Utah County Commission approved a fiscal contribution to Orem City for lighting at Geneva Park’s new futsal courts, voting 3‑0 to follow the TAB board recommendation.
City representatives told the commission the request was for $90,000 to cover lighting and that the TAB recommended $50,556. Presenters said any county contribution would support lighting that allows year‑round play for a neighborhood they described as about 40% Hispanic and lower income; Rocky Mountain Power was cited as a potential partner to reduce equipment costs.
Commissioners said they valued the project and generally followed the TAB recommendation. Chair moved to approve the agreement with a fiscal note reflecting a $50,500 award and the motion passed 3‑0.
What this does: the county will authorize the commission chair to sign an agreement with Orem City for the noted award. City staff said they would pursue additional private funds if needed to reach lighting costs.
Next steps: staff and city representatives will finalize grant paperwork and proceed with procurement and construction under the conditions of the agreement.
