Council approves interlocal agreement for Orchard Pathway Corridor; UDOT funding noted
Summary
Willard approved an interlocal agreement to build and operate the Orchard Pathway Corridor (hop trail); the agreement maintains Willard's local-match limits, assigns maintenance within city boundaries, and anticipates an 80/20 funding split with UDOT (about $4.8M federal/state share and $1.2M local match, largely in-kind).
City Planner Madison Brown summarized a revised interlocal agreement for the Orchard Pathway Corridor and said staff had added language to ensure Willard would not be obligated to provide funds beyond its in-kind match. The county recently signed the agreement; the item required Willard's signature for construction to proceed.
Council discussed key terms including maintenance responsibility (Willard will maintain trail portions within city boundaries) and the 80/20 funding split described in staff materials. As reported in the transcript, "UDOT contributing 80 percent, or approximately $4.8 million, with the local match of approximately $1.2 million being met largely in-kind through land access." Council approved the agreement. The transcript uses both "UTA-owned" in the item title and "UDOT" for construction/funding; staff confirmed UDOT is the funding/implementation partner in the record and that Willard's liability and funding obligations are limited as described.
The Council voted to approve the interlocal agreement and directed staff to proceed with signature and coordination with the county and the state partner.
