2. Business
Ms. Molinari welcomed the CDCIP Board members and City staff then opened the meeting on
March 17, 2025, at 5:02 p.m. She explained that each application would have two minutes to be
presented, followed by a Q&A from the Board members. Ms. Molinari informed the participants
attending online to please keep their microphones muted until they were called upon. She also
said that each person must state their name for the public record before answering any questions.
The staff offered individual introductions. Mr. Skog then started the introduction of the CDCIP
Board, and each member introduced themselves.
Internal Transportation—Engineering Applications:
Street Overlays 2026
• Mr. Stephens described the application for the Board.
• Mr. Murphy inquired about the priority ranking of Texas Street and Nevada Street. Mr.
Stephens responded that if these streets were part of a constituent request, they would be
treated as separate individual projects and would not be included in the current project
application. He also noted that there were several other streets in more deteriorated
conditions.
Street Reconstruction 2026
• Mr. Stephens described the application for the Board.
• Mr. Christensen noted that only about 10% of the total funding needed for this and the
previous application had been requested, asking if there were other funding sources
available to cover the remainder. In response, Mr. Stephens outlined several potential
funding sources that could help cover the full costs. Mr. Larsen added that a
transportation utility fee might be the most viable option for supporting projects like
these in the future.
• Mr. Murphy brought up the Public Way Concrete application from the previous week,
pointing out that it also included similar work. Mr. Stephens clarified that the Public Way
Concrete application focused on smaller, spot repair projects, while Street Reconstruction
projects benefit from economies of scale, making it more cost-effective to include this
type of work during the reconstruction process.
Internal Transportation Applications:
GREENbike Federal Grant Match 2026;Bike Rack Replacements 2026
• Mr. Larsen described the application for the Board.
• Mr. Christensen asked what the outcome would be if only $60,000 were awarded instead
of the requested $100,000 and inquired about the purpose of a bike corral. Mr. Larsen
explained that the project would simply be scaled back to accommodate the reduced
funding. He also clarified that a bike corral was different from the GREENbike stations.
Livable Streets Program 2026
• Mr. Larsen described the application for the Board.
• Mr. Jones asked how many traffic calming measures are typically included in a zone. Mr.
Larsen explained that the number varies significantly depending on the size of the zone,
ranging from five or six in smaller zones to dozens in larger ones.
• Mr. Jones then asked how they determine which zones to focus on. Mr. Larsen noted that
factors such as crash data and community engagement were considered to address the
areas of greatest concern.
• Mr. Murphy pointed out that the constituent applications were based on 2019 data and
asked if there were plans to update the plan. Mr. Larsen replied that while the plan could
be refreshed in the future, the data typically doesn't change much unless a zone
experiences significant changes.
Missing Sidewalk&Bikeway Network Gaps 2026
• Mr. Larsen described the application for the Board.
• Mr. Christensen mentioned that there was a constituent application that was very similar.
Mr. Larsen explained that the elements in those applications would help improve the
areas they addressed, and the funding for this program would be used to tackle concerns
in other areas. Mr. Christensen then asked if the goal was to make this an annual
program. Mr. Larsen confirmed that was indeed the intention.
Traffic Signal Replacements & Upgrades 2026
• Mr. Larsen described the application for the Board.
• Ms. Schechinger asked whether pending tariffs would increase the costs for this project.
Mr. Larsen explained that while COVID had a greater impact on the cost of traffic signals
than almost any other project, it would be difficult to predict the specific effect of
pending tariffs. He noted that contractors for this type of work were in high demand,
therefore bundling a larger package would likely provide a lower cost estimate for the
City. Mr. Stephens concurred with Mr. Larsen, agreeing that including more traffic lights
in a bid would result in more favorable cost estimates.
• Mr. Jones asked whether parts from existing traffic signals were reused when upgrading
the lights. Mr. Larsen clarified that they are reused, and that this assessment was
conducted during the design phase of each project. Mr. Stephens added that sometimes
existing infrastructure cannot be reused because it was not up to date on current ADA
standards.
Transit Capital Program 2026/Funding Our Future Transit
• Mr. Larsen described the application for the Board.
• Mr. Jones asked about the bus stop improvements on 200 South. Mr. Larsen explained
that 200 South had become a key bus corridor, so significant upgrades were planned for
the bus stops. He added that many of these stops would be larger than others, designed to
accommodate two buses at once.
Vision Zero Corridors &Safety Improvements Citywide 2026
• Mr. Larsen described the application for the Board.
• Mr. Christensen asked if this initiative was similar to the Livable Streets Program but
focused on specific roads rather than entire zones. Mr. Larsen clarified that while there
were similarities, the Livable Streets Program primarily targets neighborhood streets,
where traffic tends to be slower, and there were fewer fatalities.
3. Staff Updates
• In the previous meeting, the CDCIP Board requested an update on State Bill 195 once the
State Legislature had concluded. Mr. Larsen and Mr. Luedtke provided an overview of
the bill's provisions. Mr. Christensen asked whether the bill should be considered when
determining project funding. Mr. Larsen clarified that most applications would not be
affected by the bill, but for those that are, adjustments would be made to ensure
compliance with the new law. Mr. Jones inquired whether the bill only applied to state-
owned roads and why the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT)needed to be
involved in the approval process for City-owned streets. Mr. Larsen expressed that he
does not fully understand the rationale behind that aspect of the bill.
• Mr. Luedtke presented the CDCIP Board Funding Award Considerations document,
explaining that it serves as a helpful reference for the Board as they evaluate funding
recommendations.
• Ms. Molinari asked the Board members to complete their scoring sheets by the morning
of Thursday, March 20,2025 to allow time for review and compilation. This would ensure
a ranking sheet would be ready before the next meeting. Ms. Bonk asked if the funding
source document would also be sent out prior to the next meeting. Mr. Atkinson
confirmed that it would be. Ms. Bonk provided feedback on changes she would like to
see made to the scoring sheet.
• Ms. Molinari asked if the Board members would prefer to hold a potential longer session
meeting on March 24, 2025, to avoid holding an additional meeting on March 31, 2025.
The Board agreed to a longer session if needed.
The CDCIP Board Funding Award Considerations handout and PowerPoint slides for all
the applications presented in the meeting are attached for reference.
4. Approval of the Minutes
Mr. Christensen made a motion to approve the minutes of March 3, 2025. Mr. Jones seconded
the motion. Upon rollcall, the motion passed unanimously.
5. Adiournment
There being no further business, Mr. Skog noted that all agenda items had been addressed and
declared the meeting adjourned at 6:17 PM.

CDCIP Board Funding Award Considerations
The intent of this one-sheet is to provide a high-level overview of considerations that staff noted from CDCIP
Board deliberations over the years. This is not a comprehensive list but a reference to help board members
consider how to balance the many competing needs.
New Assets vs Capital Maintenance — Protecting past investments by funding capital
maintenance helps prolong the useful life of an asset. Funding new assets invests in the City's
future and serves a growing population.
Types of Assets — Board members have sometimes expressed an interest to spread CIP funding
between asset classes to avoid one class significantly falling behind over the years. Generally,
assets are classified by the City office responsible for it including Engineering and Transportation
which often coordinate on projects (e.g., sidewalks, streets, traffic calming, and bridges),
Facilities (e.g., buildings), and Public Lands (e.g., parks, trails, and natural areas).
Varying Geographic Needs — Board members have sometimes expressed an interest to spread
CIP funding around the City to ensure multiple Council Districts and neighborhoods benefit from
annual capital investments. The degree and type of need varies between areas of the City. Some
applications have a specific location while some annual program applications are listed as citywide
because the program addresses assets in multiple neighborhoods which varies each year based
on program prioritization criteria (e.g., data-driven, coordination with other construction plans).
Ongoing Annual Programs vs One-time Projects — Annual program applications are typically
from departments and reflect ongoing funding needed to keep up with the lifecycle of capital
assets such as replacing deteriorated assets. One-time project applications are typically single
investments that do not need annual funding or propose a specific project location that would
otherwise be addressed in the regular course of an annual program.
Full Funding vs Partial Funding — Partially funding a project can sometimes allow part of the
request to proceed spreading limited funding to more applications. However, when a project is
split into multiple phases the costs often increase for later phases resulting in a greater total cost
than if full funding was awarded in a single CIP cycle. Partial funding sometimes sits dormant
waiting for full funding in later CIP cycles (e.g., partially funding a bridge reconstruction).
Larger vs Smaller Projects — Projects that are not "shovel ready" often go through planning,
public engagement, and design phases before construction. The time to progress through these
phases can be the same for a large project as a smaller project. A single large, high-dollar project
might be completed faster and more efficiently than several smaller dollar projects.
Different Funding Sources — Staff will identify application eligibility for each funding source
which are listed below from the least to most restrictive with a brief description for reference.
Generally, awarding the most restrictive funding first helps preserve flexibility.
General Fund Dollars: The most flexible funding which can be spent on any application.
Funding Our Future Local Sales Tax: Eligibility is limited to five critical need categories which are
affordable housing, public transit, streets, public safety, and parks maintenance.
Class C Funds: From the State gas tax and a portion is provided to cities for transportation.
County 4t" Quarter Cent Sales Tax: Limited to transportation uses per state law.
Impact Fees: A payment from a developer for increased demand on City facilities caused by
population and employment growth. There are four types that may appear in CIP (typically not
each year) which are fire, parks, police, and transportation.
