Commission approves interlocal with Pleasant Grove for Canyon Road project after detailed MAG funding debate
Summary
After extended questioning about contingency, scope and MAG allocations, Utah County commissioners approved an interlocal agreement delegating project work in Pleasant Grove and preserving MAG/TCP approvals; vote carried 3-0.
Utah County commissioners approved an interlocal agreement with Pleasant Grove related to a multi-jurisdiction MAG (Metropolitan Area Council of Governments) road project affecting Canyon Road and adjacent sections. The agreement narrows the county's immediate commitment to the work inside Pleasant Grove city limits after Cedar Hills elected not to participate.
Commissioners pressed staff and city representatives on the project's $9.359 million budget figure, how a 10% contingency is handled under MAG rules, and whether city commitments could lead to the county covering any overruns. Staff and the city representative said the MAG award and contingency structure would remain subject to MAG approval and to future commission approval before monies are expended; county staff emphasized that any amount beyond the set-aside is the city's obligation unless MAG allocation changes and comes back to the commission for authorization.
The commission voted to adopt the resolution authorizing the county to enter the interlocal agreement with Pleasant Grove, noting the agreement anticipates further approvals when MAG allocations and construction contracts are finalized. The motion passed with recorded 'Aye' votes and 'Motion carries 3 0.'
