Executive Director’s Report:
Monte Bona reported that the city, in conjunction with the CDRA, is applying for a grant/loan through the Permanent Community Impact Board to build a swimming pool and splash pad. He also said that the application for a 50% grant and 50% loan with the possibility that the CIB would approve a loan at 0% interest without a grant. He noted that there is a possibility that tax increment financing would be considered as an option relative to a revenue bond. He noted that the development of the Event Center, wherein the Local

Building Authority built the facility and leased it to the city could serve as a model for this project. He said that Wasatch Academy, as a sub lessee for the event center, provided almost 50% of the revenue required to retire that bond and could play a similar role in this project inasmuch as they have committed to paying $30,000 a year to use the swimming pool for their swim team.
He reported on progress being made by the BYU resource team that is analyzing the feasibility of creating a recreation district in order to provide a revenue source for O&M if the facility is constructed. He explained that plans for including the old elementary school for a recreation center had been removed from the project and this would make it possible to decrease costs by over $1 million. He said the site for the facility would be in the boundaries of the CDRA and that the city council members in their capacity as board members of the CDRA were totally committed to moving forward with this highly supported undertaking. He added that the Local Building Authority, as a 501(c) 3
Corporation, would be holding a public hearing to explain architectural plans and a cost breakdown as soon as this detailed information is available.
We will utilize the $25,000 grant that we received from UDOT for the curb and gutter and that project will move forward this spring.
We have completed the portion of painting inside the Armory and the painting on the outside will be starting soon.
The retro fit for the apartments has begun.
