Board reviews municipal infrastructure grants, reminds towns of reporting and eligible uses
Summary
Board members reviewed municipal infrastructure grant reporting and discussed allocations to towns (examples cited: Kanab City, Big Water, Orteville), stressing that funds must be used for workforce, business expansion/retention or infrastructure projects and may not be applied to city parks or recreational lighting.
Board members reviewed municipal infrastructure grant reporting requirements and allocation calculations for participating towns, and they discussed next steps for towns that have not yet submitted required documentation.
The chair said the board had followed up with cities that had not cashed in grants or submitted business-license counts; members discussed allocation estimates and noted that some towns might direct funds to neighboring projects but must present qualified projects that meet the board’s parameters (workforce development, business expansion and infrastructure). The chair said parks and recreational lighting do not qualify under the program.
Members raised specific community projects—example: a request to double cattle guards on a visitor-area road to accommodate delivery trucks and increased traffic, estimated materials cost at roughly $20,000—and discussed whether the CEO or board could consider additional funding if the project qualified as infrastructure. The chair asked staff to follow up on qualifying documentation and scheduling for disbursement.
Next steps: staff will confirm business-license counts, follow up with towns that have not reported, and prepare disbursement documentation for qualified projects.
