Juab County's application for a funding package has
been advanced to the prioritization list.
Keith J Burnett, representing the state, said the
Permanent Community Impact Fund Board (CIB) had placed the
request on the board's priority list.
"Note that he (Burnett) makes it clear that being
placed on the prioritization list does not in and of itself
constitute formal approval or commitment to finance the
application," said Wm. Boyd Howarth, commission chair.
County commissioners applied for a funding package
totaling $606,494 to help finance the construction of a new
8,467-square foot building to house Juab county's emergency
medical operation.
The application is for a 20-year loan at zero percent
interest.
However, the commission will soon know if the project
will be funded by CIB. The prioritized list will be
considered at the Aug. 5, 2004 CIB board meeting.
"The size, nature and timing requirements of all
applications advanced to the Prioritization List, as well as
the actual availability of funds may require the CIB to
alter or reduce its participation from the amounts of terms
requested for this project," said Burnett, Fund Manager for
the Permanent Community Impact Fund.
Commissioners will receive copies of the agenda ten to
14 days before the meeting confirming a slot on the
agenda.
"While no formal presentations will be heard from the
various applicants, you or your representative should plan
on attending this meeting to answer any questions raised by
the individual CIB members," said Burnett.
Neil Cook, county commissioner, said he would attend
Nephi City Council meeting with an agreement between the two
entities once Jared Eldridge has the document prepared.
Cook met with the council in closed sessions, allowed
by law, to discuss the property acquisition for the new
ambulance building which is to be located near the city fire
station.
Eldridge said the document between the city and county
would also work out the egress and ingress of the property
for emergency vehicles.
