Summary

Council learned how to add projects to the Utah Project Portal and discussed applying for planning grants and a parks CPR grant; staff delivered a midyear budget report showing a large SafePath Connect payment and lowered general fund balance; council members said the town needs a responsive municipal attorney and asked staff to arrange interviews.

Council received a briefing on the Utah Project Portal — a statewide project database that CIB will use for prioritizing funding — and discussed projects to enter (an aquifer storage planning grant and potential park projects). A regional representative explained the portal accepts multiple projects and that municipalities can add projects through May 1.

Staff also presented a midyear fiscal report: general fund balance reported at $209,296; utility fund $241,890; perpetual care fund $134,139; total $585,316.91. The finance report showed general-fund expenditures at 121.3% year-to-date because of a large lump-sum payment for the SafePath Connect project; staff said two UOR grant payments (half the $140,000 grant) totaling another $70,000 will appear on the next report.

Councilors expressed concern about ordinance enforcement and said the current town attorney is unresponsive to calls and emails. Members asked staff to schedule interviews with two candidate attorneys and recommended the mayor and at least one councilor meet candidates as soon as possible.

What’s next: Staff will help prepare CIB/project-portal entries ahead of the May 1 deadline, return updated budget figures after the UOR deposit posts, and schedule attorney interviews.
