Agenda, item by item
Item II-A · Presentation
Workforce and affordable housing
Discussed
City staff said Park City needs 800 to 1,000 affordable units beyond current projects within five years to keep 15 percent of the workforce in the city, and Summit County needs 297 new units a year. Units at the Homestake lot would target 60 percent of area median income. Members differed on prioritizing first responders versus other workers; Gerber said prioritizing one job could be discriminatory. A majority favored targeting essential personnel; staff will define a housing authority's roles, the low-income housing tax credit and 'essential workforce', and the county chair proposed a subcommittee.
Item II-B · Roads and utilities
Remote parking update
Discussed
Staff said the council paused the Quinn's Junction project over congestion, delaying it at least a year, and Richardson Flat was proposed as a temporary option. Funding cited was $3.8 million from UDOT, $405,000 from Park City for phase one, $1.8 million from a transit sales tax grant for phase two and $1 million in city transportation money as match. County officials asked about shuttle costs, road realignment and wetlands. Discussion continues at the next quarterly meeting.
- Grant$3.80 million to UDOT
Item II-C · Public safety
Watershed protection and FEMA BRIC grant
Discussed
County and city staff described a possible $50 million FEMA Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities grant on a 70/30 split requiring a $15 million local match over three years, with categories for home hardening, watershed protection and capacity building. Homeowner grants of $10,000 would require $3,000 from the owner. The first deadline is August and the final January 2023; staff asked for five to ten support letters. No vote.
- Grant$50.0 million to FEMA
