Council approves joining Davis County's CDBG entitlement community for 2027—1029; council records roll-call approval
Summary
The council unanimously approved Resolution 2026-09 to participate in Davis County's HUD Community Development Block Grant entitlement process for federal FY 2027—2029, a move staff said preserves access to about $1.5 million in county CDBG/HOME funds and keeps Fruit Heights eligible for programs that help low- and moderate-income residents.
Davis County Community Services Manager Ryan Stainbel briefed the council on the HUD Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnership programs. He said the county receives roughly $1 million annually in CDBG funds and an additional approximately $500,000 under the HOME program, and that Fruit Heights historically has participated in the county's entitlement community.
"The community development block grant is a program that's administered by HUD," Ryan said, explaining the funds support infrastructure, public services and affordable-housing activities that principally benefit low- and moderate-income residents. He noted that if a city opts out now it could reduce the county's allocation and that Fruit Heights previously received CDBG funding for ADA improvements.
After discussion the council moved and seconded Resolution 2026-09 to sign an interlocal agreement with Davis County. The council took a roll-call vote; each member present voted yes and the resolution passed.
Staff said participation preserves access to county-administered programs, including waterline projects, home rehabs and home-ownership-assistance allocations, and that staff can help identify eligible projects Fruit Heights might want to apply for in coming years.
