04/26/2016 - Work Session - Announcements City Council REVISED Announcements April 26, 2016 Information Needed by Council Staff A. Wasatch Front Regional Council Items 2019-2o5o Regional Transportation Plan Small Area Meeting At the Council's April 12 work session Council Members indicated they would like to have a presentation about the Wasatch Front Regional Council Plan for 2o5o. In further staff discussions with WFRC Ted Knowlton, he has suggested that three Council Members attend the Northeast Salt Lake County Small Area Meeting on May 18, a Wednesday. The meeting is scheduled to be held from 3-5 p.m. in the South Salt Lake City Hall Overflow Room at 220 Morris Avenue. The small area meeting would allow Council Members a chance to work with other elected officials to help shape the 2o5o Transportation Plan, according to Mr. Knowlton. He said it would be a better opportunity for up to three Council Members to start helping to shape the plan before it is brought before the public later this year. ➢ Are there three Council Members interested in attending the small area meeting? Councilmember Penfold said he would like to attend. It was suggested that Council Members Mendenhall and Kitchen also attend. Ms. Gust-Jenson said she would circle back to this item because some Council Members were absent for the discussion. The WFRC also has scheduled a Wasatch Choice 2o5o Consortium and Active Transportation Health Summit on June 29 at the Little America Hotel. The small area meetings will inform the larger meeting. The consortium part of the larger meeting "will focus on refreshing the Wasatch Choice vision looking out to 2o5o to reflect the dynamic changes in the region, the Your Utah Your Future statewide vision done by Envision Utah, and local efforts such as Salt Lake County's The Future We Choose," according to an Internet promotional flier. The event will be held at the Grande America Hotel at 555 South Main Street in Salt Lake City. The event will start at 8:3o a.m. The event will be coupled with an active transportation and health summit. ➢ Council staff will send an Outlook appointment to Council Members and make arrangements based on Council Members' interest in attending. Ms. Gust-Jenson said this item would be moved to the next meeting for discussion because some Council Members were absent. B.

The Chair/Vice-Chair are in support of sending the Homelessness Subcommittee to the Conference. ➢ Are any other Council Members interested in attending?
