Staff warns Eureka of stricter CIB application rules, full CIP required by 2028
Summary
AOG staff told the council that new CIB rules require applications be submitted through the AOG weeks before deadlines and that cities must deliver a full capital improvement plan by December 2028; staff listed related local compliance priorities.
Shay, an AOG staff member, told the council the state changed how rural infrastructure grants are submitted and tracked, and urged cities to update planning documents.
"New requirements are, that all applications have to be submitted to the AOG," Shay said, adding that applications must be complete and that only meeting minutes may be submitted later. Shay said the state also requires an updated capital asset self-inventory within two years and a full capital improvement plan (CIP) by December 2028. He listed six priority documents local governments should review, including annexation policy plans, personnel and procurement policies, subdivision and zoning ordinances, and water master plans.
Why it matters: the Central Utah Infrastructure Board (CIB) is a major funding source for rural public works projects; changes that route applications through the AOG and require more-complete CIPs could increase staff workload and change grant timelines for small towns. Shay said his office will help communities prepare and that the AOG will assemble and submit applications on member cities' behalf.
The council heard the timeline and asked staff to return with draft CIP materials and next steps for compliance. No formal action was taken; staff-level follow-up was assigned.
