   Reallocating Community Development Block Grant funds

   Approved · 5-0

   Claudia Saldana said the city received $332,739, down from the expected $343,852, leaving the Curtis Center $2,739 instead of $13,852. Staff recommended putting the remainder in sidewalk contingency because CDBG cannot pay for improvements to city-owned buildings. Council Member Albrecht opposed that, saying the Curtis Center serves an underserved population and should be fully funded; Council Member Stallings preferred paying the Center's repairs directly from the city budget; Council Member Condie favored spreading funds beyond sidewalks. The council fully funded the Curtis Center at $31,864, subtracted that from the $290,000 sidewalk allocation, plus a $40,000 administration fee.

   Moved by Council Member Chris Condie, seconded by Council Member Paul Hancock. Vote: 5-0; unanimous

   Community Development Block Grant funding allocation

   Approved · 4-0

   Six applicants presented, including Family Haven, the Friends of Utah County Children's Justice Center ($5,000 request), Lehi Engineering (curb, gutter and sidewalk on the west side of 400 East between 300 North and 600 North), Tabitha's Way, the Curtis Center ($31,000 request) and United Way of Utah County's tax assistance program. Staff recommended $290,000 for the sidewalk project and $13,864 for Curtis Center wages. Council Member Chris Condie proposed $5,000 each for three nonprofits with a smaller sidewalk allocation. Mountainland's Claudia Saldana said federal cuts were possible. The council approved the staff recommendation and agreed to revisit it April 22 if funding or project cost changes.

   Funding for downtown sidewalks

   Discussed

   Finance Director Dean Lundell said sidewalks have been a long-standing problem, with some downtown projects built using federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds, but only $200,000-$300,000 comes annually. He estimated sidewalks, curbs, gutters and asphalt for the whole downtown would exceed $16 million. He proposed special assessment areas in which the city builds improvements and owners repay over time, after public hearings and a protest period. Council members raised concerns about the burden on homeowners on fixed incomes and the complexity of assessments.

   Fiscal 2022 budget and capital projects (pre-council)

   Discussed

   Public Works Director Dave Norman asked for a larger line item for sidewalk work, used citywide for maintenance and ADA needs; City Engineer Lorin Powell had a priority map for downtown sidewalks. Council Member Paige Albrecht wanted downtown not neglected and suggested grants. Council Member Chris Condie asked for another school resource officer, more library book funding, paved parking at the Vets ballpark and an all abilities park at Family Park rather than Mellor-Rhodes; Albrecht suggested a part-time grant writer. City Administrator Jason Walker said funds could be moved and staff would report back.

   Community Development Block Grant recommendations

   Discussed

   Jessica DeLora of Mountainland Association of Governments said two applications were recommended for funding: an engineering project to update downtown infrastructure and one for the Children's Justice Center. Council Member Paige Albrecht noted a survey had ranked historic preservation first and asked for more targeted outreach to Main Street businesses. DeLora said the city also has CARES Act funds that must go to COVID-19 response, such as rent or utility assistance.
