Commission approves two 0.25 preservation fund requests for local road projects
Summary
The commission approved a COG‑recommended award up to $120,000 for Garland City's 300 South roadway project and approved Willard City's right‑of‑way acquisition request of $45,300 from the 0.25 preservation fund.
Scott Lyons, staff for community development, presented two requests from cities for the county's 0.25 preservation fund. Garland City's 300 South roadway rebuild request scored the minimum 15 points on the scoring matrix and the COG recommended funding up to the fund's current balance (about $120,000) against a requested $295,318. The commission approved the funding recommendation.
Willard City's right‑of‑way acquisition request (total acquisition cost $60,400) scored 37 points, above the minimum 25 points required for large cities; Willard proposed to contribute 25% and requested $45,300 from the preservation fund. Staff said the project falls squarely within the fund's purpose, and the commission approved the award as presented.
