- Presentation of 2026 Annual CRA Report: Jason Burningham of LRB Public Financial Advisors presented the annual report, summarizing six active project areas: Front Runner CDA, Crescent RDA, South Mountain, and three historic project areas with remaining fund balances (West Freeway, East Bangder, and Sand Hills). Key statistics included: Front Runner CDA base value of $6 million (2012) grew to $590 million (2025) – a 9,700% increase; Crescent RDA base value of $780,000 grew to $300 million (2025) – a 37,000% increase; South Mountain base value of $7.3 million grew to $175 million. Total tax increment received in fiscal year 2026 was $7.1 million, with a projected remaining revenue of $35 million for Front Runner, $6 million for Crescent, and $28 million for South Mountain.
- Fund Balance Discussion: Board members discussed potential uses of unallocated fund balances, particularly for the East Bangder project area (approximately $5 million). Councilmember Brandon suggested using funds for infrastructure improvements on Bangeter (likely Bangerter Highway) and State Route 138, including a traffic signal. Councilmember Tasha supported using housing-allocated funds for improvements on 30 East and Bangeter, and noted proposed residential redevelopment. Councilmember Mike inquired about using South Mountain undeveloped land for a museum or civic center, possibly with school district partnership. Burningham confirmed that public infrastructure projects within project areas are generally qualified uses, but specific plans need review.
