Mount Pleasant RDA approves $48,000 invoice to White Peak Ranch for outdoor arena project
Summary
The Mount Pleasant RDA approved a $48,000 invoice to White Peak Ranch for planning, design and project management of a PRCA-compliant outdoor arena; staff said state and partner grants fund the project and an extension may be sought for donated lighting installation.
The Mount Pleasant Redevelopment Agency approved a $48,000 invoice to White Peak Ranch on Dec. 16 for planning, design and project management of a new outdoor arena.
Speaker 2, who presented the item, said the invoice represents a contracted project-management fee: "the invoice is for planning, design, construction, and full project management, for a PCRA, PRCA compliant outdoor arena of $2,000 per month for 24 months for a total of $48,000." The payment is part of a larger grant-funded effort tied to a $300,000 state grant that required matching funds.
Speaker 2 described project spending to date and the estimated remaining budget. In the transcript the presenter enumerated costs as follows: expenditures through Dec. 11 of "$468,384," an announcer/stand cost of "$17,000," a subtotal cited as "$485,003.84," and, after the $48,000 invoice, a running total given as about "$533,003.84," leaving roughly "$67,000" for wrap-up. Speaker 2 said Cache Valley Electric and Paul Hanson are working to donate lights, materials and labor; if lighting cannot be installed before the project termination date (stated as Dec. 31), staff will request an extension.
A member expressed concern about the contracting sequence and lack of full upfront cost estimates. "The only thing that has me concerned is this is backwards of the way we should have done it," Speaker 1 said, adding a preference for having full cost clarity up front. Speaker 2 acknowledged challenges tied to timing of funds and explained the agreement included a provision to forgive monthly payments if the project lacked sufficient funding at completion.
Speaker 3 moved to approve the invoice; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote, with multiple affirmative responses recorded. Members said staff would return with options and contingency plans, including a potential extension to cover lighting work.
The agency did not adopt any new policy changes as part of the vote; the approval was limited to the invoice for project management and associated costs as described by staff.
