- Board Deliberation on Fund Balances:
- Councilmember Brandon expressed support for using East Banger funds for infrastructure improvements on Bangeter Highway and 13800 South, including a traffic signal upgrade.
- Councilmember Catherine (likely) seconded, noting that the East Banger project area’s original goal (building Bangeter) is complete but needs improvements.
- Councilmember Tasha asked about using South Mountain area funds for a museum or civic center on undeveloped property. Jason Burningham noted that the project area plan would need to be reviewed for eligibility.
- Board members emphasized the need to program funds soon, especially for East Banger, given shorter time windows.
