County approves CDBG award to Spanish Fork and authorizes chair to send parking letter to Provo
Summary
Utah County approved a Mountainland CDBG grant to Spanish Fork with corrected construction/invoicing dates and authorized the commission chair to sign a revised letter to Provo about convention‑center parking, after staff said Provo indicated it would not transfer ownership interest in parking assets.
The Utah County Commission approved two separate administrative actions: a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) award to Spanish Fork City administered by the Mountainland Association of Governments, and a county letter to Provo regarding long‑term parking for the county convention center.
On the CDBG item, commissioners noted timeline typos in the agenda backup (dates showing 2016 or inconsistent months) and amended the award schedule to align preconstruction, invoicing and construction dates to 2017. A motion to approve the Mountainland CDBG award to Spanish Fork with corrected dates passed on a voice vote (recorded as 3–0 in the transcript).
On a separate agenda item regarding parking, staff presented a revised letter to Provo that seeks to clarify who will provide, operate, and potentially transfer parking capacity for the convention center. County staff said Provo’s response indicated it intends to allow some public parking use but did not intend to transfer ownership interest; county attorneys and staff stressed the county needs a defined ownership or interest to secure reliable parking for the convention center’s operation. The commission authorized the chair to sign the revised letter, and the motion carried by voice vote (recorded as 3–0).
