The Eagle Mountain City Council held a special session on August 10, 2026, primarily to review and approve the fiscal year 2026 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Annual Action Plan for submission to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The discussion focused on the allocation of CDBG funds, including $200,000 earmarked for housing preservation and development, as well as public services, administration, and neighborhood improvements such as ADA and sidewalk upgrades. The council also discussed the transition of program management from an external contractor, Elizabeth, to in-house staff, with Elizabeth currently providing training and support at a rate of $130 per hour. The council acknowledged the need for a dedicated staff member to manage the program long-term. A motion to approve the CDBG Annual Action Plan was made and passed unanimously, authorizing the city to submit the plan to HUD.
