Regional Capital Improvements Planning
for Utah Permanent
Community Impact Fund Board (CIB) Applications
WHAT IS THE UTAH PERMANENT COMMUNITY IMPACT FUND BOARD?
It is a very important source of funding frequently utilized by
eligible entities in Utah to implement capital improvements projects.
The funding comes through what is known officially as the "Utah Permanent Community Impact Fund Board"
but is more commonly referred to as the "CIB". Projects, in order to be eligible
to apply for funding, must be on
the current, county-level-prioritized, Community Impact Board Application
List (please see the one-year list below). An exception to
this requirement to be on the Application List is if there is an unforeseen
project becomes necessary because of a bonafide emergency, or other compelling
reason, with such determination to be made by the Community Impact Board.
The Utah Permanent Community Impact Fund Board
provides loans and/or grants to state agencies and subdivisions of the
state which have or may be socially or economically impacted by mineral
resource development on federal lands. Under the Federal Mineral
Lease Act of 1920, lease holders on public land make royalty payments to
the federal government for the development and production of non-metalliferous
minerals.
In Utah, the primary source of these royalties is the commercial production of fossil fuels on federal land held by the U.S. Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management. Since the enactment of the Mineral Lease Act of 1920, a portion of these royalty payments, called mineral lease payments, has been returned to the state in an effort to help mitigate the local impact of energy and mineral developments on federal lands. The state of Utah then allocates 32.5% of the royalties as Permanent Community Impact Funds. The PCIFB will only fund those applications which are submitted by an eligible applicant for an eligible project.

The Utah statute creating the Board specifically
defines eligible applicants as any of the following: counties, special
service districts, cities, special improvement districts, towns, water
conservancy districts, water or sewer improvement districts, building
authorities, housing authorities, and in certain narrow circumsances,
school districts.
