Art Dye Trail

A roughly 4,000-foot trail designed with UDOT as a local-agency project with federal STIP funding. It is in design and right-of-way acquisition. The council asked that it run on the east side of the park because ballgame parking conflicts with the west side. The city says the cost has grown with inflation and it is pursuing more grants.

    Fiscal 2022 capital projects, general fund, fleet and RDA budgets

    Discussed

    Finance Officer Anna Montoya previewed a $27.5 million general fund (up 5.7%), with about $10.5 million in sales tax and $4.5 million in property tax; public safety is 51% of spending. Police would add two officers and a detective; fire would add five of six requested positions (+$640,118) and lease one ambulance, as American Fork's station logged over 4,000 calls, the busiest in Utah County. Requests for $37 million in capital projects were cut to recommendations including $8.67 million carried over for Fire Station 52 and a police shooting range (bond proceeds), $2.63 million for pavement management, $1.92 million for the 700 North Connection, $850,000 for 300 West-Pacific Drive, $500,000 for Art Dye parking, $637,000 for the Art Dye Trail and $300,000 for open space land. The fleet budget is $1.79 million. In the Egg Farm RDA, 1100 South widening ($1,103,313) is set for FY22 while 1500 South widening is unfunded. Montoya said the city pays about $12,000 a month in card processing fees.

    • Capital equipment: $9 million requested, $334,360 recommended
