These financial statements have been prepared by the Salt Lake City Department of Finance in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) for local governments as prescribed by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB). The accuracy of the presented data and the completeness and fairness of the presentations,including all disclosures,are the responsibility of the management of the City. I NI We believe the data, as presented, is accurate in all material respects and is presented in a manner that fairly 6 sets forth the following aspects of the City: (1)the financial position of the governmental activities; (2) the business- type activities; (3) the discretely presented component unit; (4) each major fund; (5) the aggregate remaining fund information; (6) the respective changes in financial position and (7) applicable cash flows. In order to provide a reasonable basis for making these representations,the management of Salt Lake City has established a comprehensive internal control framework that is designed both to protect the government's assets from loss, theft, or misuse and to compile sufficient reliable information for the preparation of the Salt Lake City Corporation's financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Because the cost of internal controls should not outweigh their benefits, Salt Lake City b Corporation's comprehensive framework of internal controls has been designed to provide reasonable rather then absolute assurance that the financial statements will be free from material misstatement. As management, we assert that to the best of our knowledge and belief,this report is complete and reliable in all material respects. Hansen, Barnett & Maxwell, P.C. an independent firm of Certified Public Accountants, has audited these basic financial statements and related notes. Their report is included herein. The goal of the independent audit was to provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements of Salt Lake City Corporation for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 are free of material misstatements. This independent audit involved examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used, and significant estimates made by management. Additionally, Hansen, Barnett & Maxwell P.C. audited the compliance requirements of the City's state and -41 federal grant programs for the year ended June 30, 2010 as part of the federally mandated"Single Audit" designed to meet the special needs of federal grantor agencies. That report is available under a separate cover.

Profile of Salt Lake City Salt Lake City lies between the Wasatch Mountains and the Great Salt Lake at an altitude of 4,200 4 feet. Permanent settlement of the City began on July 24, 1847, when Brigham Young with a party of 148 1 Mormon pioneers entered the Salt Lake Valley after a 1,500-mile trek westward. Salt Lake City was incorporated on January 6, 1851 and soon became a major center for trade and commerce with the wagon r trains carrying settlers and miners westward. Within a few years of the pioneers' arrival, other communities were settled throughout the Salt Lake Valley. Due to continuous economic and population growth, most of these cities in the valley survived and prospered, and have grown into a single large metropolitan area of over 900,000 people. Salt Lake City is the commercial center of this metropolis. Salt Lake City is also the center of the scenic intermountain west. Within a day's drive of the City, travelers can visit 70%of the officially designated national parks and monuments of America. The Wasatch Mountains, east of the City, are well known for their ski resorts, which are within a 45-minute drive from downtown Salt Lake City. Over 300,000 out-of-state skiers come to these resorts each year. The scenic Wasatch Front provided an excellent backdrop,as the City hosted the 2002 Winter Olympics. In 2004, Salt Lake City was chosen by the State of Utah as a Quality Growth Community. This designation shows that the community has completed a comprehensive planning process covering economic development, housing, conservation,and infrastructure efficiency.

Ninety percent of Salt Lake City's residents rate their overall quality of life as high or very high(Salt Lake City Resident Survey, 2005). Outside Magazine also recognized this high quality of life when they ranked Salt Lake City as one of the ten Best Towns in the U.S. (August 2005). The criteria for these"Dream Towns"were cities that were "cleaner, greener and smarter". Cities that made the list had a commitment to open space, smart solutions to sprawl and gridlock, a can-do community spirit, and an active embrace of the adventurous life. They also looked for cities using green design, green-thinking mayors, thriving farmers' markets and healthy job markets. "�► The City provides a full range of municipal services including police, fire, recreational activities including eight municipal golf courses, libraries, water, sewer, storm water, airports, public improvements, highways and streets,planning and zoning,and general administrative services. 1 Factors Affecting Financial Condition Summary of Local Economy Salt Lake City is the capital city and commercial and industrial center for the State of Utah. The City Administration aggressively promotes the City as a location for new businesses. In 2008 CNBC ranked Utah third in the U.S. as a Top State for Business for the second consecutive year. In 2010 Utah moved into the top spot on Forbes magazine's list of best states for business and careers. Forbes cited Utah's tax rates, -vii- labor force and utility costs among the factors that pushed Utah to the top as well as continued business growth by companies such as Goldman Sachs,located in Salt Lake City. In 2008,Forbes Magazine named Salt Lake City as the best city for jobs for the second consecutive year. Forbes Magazine compared cities in five areas that included unemployment rate,job growth, income growth, median household income, and cost of living. In 2010 Kiplinger's Personal Finance Magazine named Salt Lake City as one of the "10 Best Cities for the Next Decade". Criteria for this list included low cost of living, low cost of doing business,and proximity to mountain recreation. t Showing its leadership in preserving the environment, Salt Lake City has received several awards for its Clean Air Challenge which is aimed at improving city livability and the quality of urban life. Salt Lake City has been honored with the 2010 Outstanding Achievement City Livability Award from the U.S. Conference of Mayors. Salt Lake was one of five cities that were recognized by the organization. Harvard University's Ash Center for Democratic Governance and Innovation also selected the Clean Air Challenge for • its Bright Ideas program. Additionally, Salt Lake City has been recognized for its smart-growth planning in the Sierra Club's annual "Building Better"report. Salt Lake City is one of 12 American cities the Sierra Club recognized for a • "commitment to vibrant development geared towards mass transit instead of urban sprawl" (The Salt Lake • Tribune,December 1,2005). Salt Lake City's workforce is widely known as being"overwhelmingly enthusiastic"and"the model for high productivity". This praise is well earned—Salt Lake City workers have one of the highest literacy rates in the country, and, additionally, many are fluent in multiple languages—a skill increasingly crucial to • successful international trade. According to a 2005 U.S. Census Bureau report, in Utah 74% of the households own a computer, higher than any other state in the nation. Sixty-three percent of the households • use the Internet, the fifth highest usage in the nation. This wired workforce allows Salt Lake City to continue to be a strong center for technology workers. Metropolitan Salt Lake City is ranked tenth among the most competitive areas in the world in the global knowledge economy (The World Knowledge Competitiveness Index 2002 by United Kingdom's Robert Huggins Associates). The Salt Lake City-Ogden metropolitan area is ranked number 28 among today's hottest cities for business expansion(Expansion Management magazine,January 2003). • Salt Lake City—as a business, cultural, educational, and religious center—faces a number of challenges common to capital cities nationally. While Salt Lake City continues to be a vibrant city, it has felt et the effects of the struggling national economy. Employment Activity Or SP Salt Lake City is the central city to 2.1 million inhabitants residing in four counties within an hour's drive from downtown. The majority of Utah's 2.8 million people live in the Wasatch Front urban corridor stretching from Ogden to Provo. The City's daytime population increases greatly as a significant portion of the state's total work force commutes to jobs located within the city limits. Following national trends, Salt Lake City experienced declining employment. However, Salt Lake 0 City tends to be somewhat insulated from the national trends, posting lower than national unemployment rates. 0 0 00 • 0 -viii- 0 0 Mk Taxable Sales Activity Salt Lake City's total taxable sales have reflected both the national and regional economy. In 2004, taxable retail sales in Salt Lake City grew by 1.4%. In 2005,taxable sales began to show more robust growth of 7% due to increases in construction and car sales and increases in other non-durable goods. In 2006, taxable sales growth continued at 9%.During 2007 the growth slowed down a little to 7.8%. During 2008 the growth in taxable sales was down 1.7%. In 2009 the economic downturn took hold with a decrease in Sales Tax of 8.875%. In 2010 the economic downturn slowed with Sales Tax decreasing 4.52%. The Utah State Tax Commission expects this trend in taxable sales to flatten out in the near future. Other Economic Indicators Salt Lake City's downtown has been projected to see significant growth in the next several years, according to a study commissioned by the Salt Lake City Downtown Alliance(Economic Benchmarks for # Salt Lake City's Central Business District,James A Wood,Bureau of Economic and Business Research, University of Utah,June 2005). The study projected that as much as$1.5 billion in new investment could occur in the downtown area-including at least 13 major office,retail and higher education construction projects. With the City Creek project scheduled for completion during the next two years and the new agreement with the County to support continued development of the performing arts district downtown,the City is in a good position just as the economy is recovering from the economic downturn. Summary Outlook While Salt Lake City is feeling the effects of the national economic downturn, it continues to be a vibrant city with optimistic forecasts, especially for its downtown area. Job growth and unemployment figures continue to be better than the national average. Economic and Financial Planning As part of an overall strategic planning process, Salt Lake City developed several goals and objectives designed to keep the City on a firm financial footing. These goals and objectives include the following: Attract and retain small businesses by increasing the number of small business loans issued by at least five a year. Increase the number of businesses relocating to the City or expanding by at least 10 a year. Ensure that each Salt Lake City fund is financially secure by building and then maintaining a fund balance between 10% - 15% in the General Fund,by adding at least 1% of revenues per year to retained earnings in the Internal Service funds, by maintaining cash reserves of 25% of the operating expenses in the Airport Enterprise fund, and by maintain cash reserves of 9-10% in the Utilities Enterprise funds. Maintain Aaa and AAA Moody's and Fitch general obligation bond ratings by maintaining modest debt levels. In response to the recent economic downturns Salt Lake City has generally elected to increase revenues and reduce expenses rather that appropriate fund balance. No significant financial policies have changed that would significantly impact the current financial statements. Internal Control Structure The City utilizes a computerized financial accounting system, which includes a system of internal accounting controls. These controls are designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding: (1) the safeguarding of assets against loss from unauthorized use or disposition, and (2) the reliability of financial records for preparing financial statements and maintaining accountability for assets. The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that: (1) the cost of a control should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived, and (2) the evaluation of costs and benefits requires estimates and judgments by management. The City adheres to the above framework for internal controls. We believe that the City's internal accounting controls adequately safeguard assets and provide reasonable assurance of proper recording of financial transactions. -ix- Awards and Acknowledgements The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) awarded a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to Salt Lake City Corporation for its 3 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for the fiscal year ended June 30,2009.

I i Salt Lake City Corporation's management presents to the readers of its financial statements this narrative information. It contains an overview and analysis of the financial position and results of operations as of and for the twelve months ended June 30, 2010. As management of the City, we encourage readers to consider information contained in this discussion along with the transmittal letter on pages v-x. FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS 1 The assets of Salt Lake City (the City) exceeded its liabilities at the end of the current fiscal year by f $2,196,503,952 (net assets). Of this amount, $483,101,504 (unrestricted net assets) is available to meet ongoing 11 obligations to citizens and creditors. a, • Net assets increased by $79,642,005. This included an increase in net assets of $24,298,951 in the �I Governmental activities and an increase of$55,343,054 in the business-type activities. During 2010 assets were transferred from business-type activities to governmental activities. The most substantial portion of these transfers was from the Municipal Building Authority to the General Fund. NI Ni The City's Governmental funds reported combined ending fund balance of $125,020,876, an increase of $5,783,654 compared to the prior years' ending amount. Of the combined total fund balance, $41,076,630 is available for spending at the discretion of the City(unreserved and undesignated fund balance). 1� The unreserved and undesignated fund balance of the General Fund at June 30,2010 totaled $23,121,977, is 12 percent of the General Fund total revenues for the year and 56 percent of governmental unreserved and undesignated fund balance. The General Fund, also has approximately $2,972,000 of fund balance reserved for encumbrances that will be expended in the following fiscal year. M During the year, total bonded debt for Salt Lake City increased by $14,387,00. The City issued General Obligation Debt of$25,000,000 to construct a new Public Safety building. The City issued new Special Assessment Bonds of$1,659,000 for sidewalk and road replacement and repairs, and Sewer issued 6,300,000 for capital and infrastructure improvements. OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 410 This discussion and analysis serves as an introduction to Salt Lake City's basic financial statements: (1) Government-wide financial statements, (2)Fund financial statements and(3)Notes to the financial statements. This report also contains information in addition to the basic financial statements that will help the reader to gain a more in-depth understanding of the City. lb Government-wide financial statements give readers a broad overview of the entire City's financial position and changes in financial position, similar to consolidated financial statements in a private sector business. These statements consist of the Statement of Net Assets and the Statement of Activities. a' et The Statement of Net Assets shows Salt Lake City's entire assets and liabilities with the difference shown as net assets. Increases or decreases over time in net assets gives an indicator as to whether the financial condition of Salt Lake City is improving or declining. The Statement of Activities shows the changes to net assets that occurred during the most recent fiscal 0 year. These changes are recorded on an accrual basis when the underlying event that causes the change occurs, regardless of when the cash transaction takes place. One example is the next debt interest payment when the fiscal year ends in between interest payments. The Statement of Activities shows an additional interest expense for the time period between the last interest payment and the end of the fiscal year. • Both of the government-wide financial statements distinguish between activities that are largely supported 0 by taxes and intergovernmental revenues(governmental activities)and those whose operations are entirely or largely 00 financed by user charges and fees (business type-activities). The governmental activities for Salt Lake City include generalgovernmental; (Council, Mayor, Attorney, Management Services and Non-departmental); Y � Y� g p ); public safety (Police and Fire), streets and recreation (Public Services); and other development (Community and Economic 0 4 0 0 0 S SALT LAKE CITY CORPORATION MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS NNE 30,2010 Development). The business-type activities include water, sewer, storm-water, airport, housing, intermodal hub, refuse collection,golf and redevelopment. The government-wide financial statements include not only Salt Lake City itself(the primary government), but also those of the legally separate Salt Lake City Library. This entity (a component unit) is financially accountable to the City and is presented separately from the primary government itself. Three other entities, the + Redevelopment Agency of Salt Lake City, the Municipal Building Authority and the Arts Council are also legally separate from the City, but for all practical purposes function as a part of the City and are therefore blended as an integral part of the primary government. The government-wide financial statements are found immediately following this discussion and analysis. FUND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS A fund is a set of closely related accounts that are used to maintain control over resources that have been segregated for specific activities or purposes. Salt Lake City, like other state and local governments, uses fund accounting to demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. All of the City's funds can be categorized into one of three categories: governmental funds,proprietary funds and fiduciary funds. Governmental funds account for essentially the same activities as the governmental activities in the 11 government-wide financial statements, but with a narrower focus. Governmental funds concentrate on near-term inflows and outflows of financial resources and the balances of spendable resources available to the government at the end of the fiscal year. This information can be useful in evaluating the government's short term financing requirements. Comparing similar information presented in the government-wide statements for the governmental activities with that presented in governmental funds statements can provide useful information because of the different focus of the two approaches. With the long-term focus of the government-wide statements, a reader may be able to better understand the long-term effects of the near term financing decisions. Both the governmental fund balance sheet and the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balance show reconciliation between the governmental funds statements to the governmental activities in the government-wide statements to aid in the comparison. Salt Lake City uses ten different individual governmental funds. Of this number, information is shown separately for the General and Capital Projects Funds,both of which are deemed major funds. Information from the other eight funds is presented in a single combined column. Individual presentations for these non-major funds are contained in combining information shown after the notes to the financial statements as listed in the table of contents. The City adopts an annual appropriated budget for all its governmental funds. Budgetary comparison schedules have been provided to demonstrate compliance with these budgets. Within the Proprietary funds are two types that Salt Lake City utilizes; enterprise and internal service funds. Enterprise funds report the same functions as the business-type activities in the government-wide financial 1 statements. The Enterprise funds maintained by Salt Lake City are: the water, sewer and storm-water utilities; the transportation Intermodal Hub; the Salt Lake City International Airport; housing loans, refuse collection; golf and redevelopment activities. Internal service funds are used as an accounting device to accumulate and allocate costs among the City's various governmental and enterprise activities. Salt Lake City uses internal service funds to account for its vehicle fleet, information technology, risk management and employee benefits, and tort liability. 1 Because all of these activities support primarily governmental rather than business-type activities, they have been included within the governmental activities column of the government-wide financial statements. Proprietary funds present the same information as in the government-wide statements, except in more detail. The fund statements for proprietary funds provide separate information for the Department of Airports,Water Utility, 14 Sewer Utility, Housing Loans and Redevelopment Agency, all of which are considered to be major funds of Salt * Lake City. Individual presentations for the remaining enterprise funds are contained in the combining information elsewhere in this report. All internal service funds are shown in one single column in the proprietary fund financial statements. Individual fund information can be found in the combining information elsewhere in this report. The 5 1 I SALT LAKE CITY CORPORATION o MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS • JUNE 30,2010 City also adopts annual appropriated budgets for all of its proprietary funds. As with the governmental funds, t budgetary comparison statements are included to show compliance with these budgets. Atoh t The basic proprietary fund financial statements can be found as listed in the table of contents. I Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held by the City for the benefit of entities outside of the E government. Since these resources cannot be used to support the operations of Salt Lake City,they are not shown in t the government-wide financial statements. The accounting for fiduciary funds is similar to that of proprietary funds. The fiduciary fund financial statements can be found as listed in the table of contents. $ I Notes to the financial statements contain additional information important to a complete understanding t of the information contained in the government-wide and fund financial statements. Notes to the financial • statements are located after the statements for major funds as listed in the table of contents.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Salt Lake City Corporation(the City)was incorporated January 6, 1851. The City operates under a Council-Mayor form of government and provides services to residents and businesses in many areas including police and fire protection,street maintenance,refuse collection,planning and zoning,building construction inspection,parks and recreation,prosecution,water,sewer,storm water,airports,and general administrative services. Reporting Entity For financial reporting purposes,the reporting entity includes all funds,agencies and authorities for which the City holds corporate powers and all component units for which the City is financially accountable. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) in its Statement No. 14, The Financial Reporting Entity and Statement No.39,Determining Whether Certain Organizations Are Component Units has established criteria to consider I in determining financial accountability. The criteria are: appointment of a majority of the voting members of an organization's governing board,and either(1)the City has the ability to impose its will on the organization or(2)there is potential for the organization to provide specific financial benefits to,or impose specific financial burdens on,the City. I 1 As required by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles(GAAP),these financial statements present the City,the primary government,and its component units. The component units are included in the City's reporting entity because of the significance of their operational or financial relationship with the City. The following funds,all with fiscal years ended June 30, 2010, have separately issued financial statements that can be obtained from their f respective administrative offices:(1)The Arts Council(a special revenue fund),(2)the Water,Sewer and Storm Water Utility Funds(enterprise funds)and(3)the Department of Airports(an enterprise fund). Blended Component Units 41 The Municipal Building Authority and the Redevelopment Agency of Salt Lake City arc legally < separate entities from the City,but are part of the City and are blended into the internal service and enterprise funds, ti respectively. The Redevelopment Agency has separately issued financial statements for the year ended June 30,2010, • which are available at the Agency's administrative office. The sole purpose of the Municipal Building Authority is to serve the City as a financing agency for debt financed projects. The sole purpose of the Redevelopment Agency is the ♦ elimination of blight through the process of redevelopment in designated project areas within the boundaries of the City. • The Salt Lake City Council serves as the Board of Directors of both the Municipal Building Authority and the ♦ Redevelopment Agency. ♦ Discretely Presented Component Unit •• The discrete component unit is the Salt Lake City Library. It is legally separate from,but financially 0 accountable to the City,as the City can impose its will on the Library. It is not financially dependent upon another government organization and should not be presented in any other governmental entity's financial statements. The ♦ Library provides services to residents rather than to the City and therefore meets the criteria of a discretely presented component unit. The Salt Lake City Library is a governmental fund and has separately issued financial statements for • the year ended June 30,2010,which are available at the administrative offices of the Library. 4 • Joint Venture ♦ The City is a fifty percent partner with Salt Lake County in a joint venture known as the City/County ♦' Landfill. The purpose of this joint venture is to provide solid waste management and disposal services(see note I8). • ♦ Related Organizations « The City also has activities with three other related organizations,the Metropolitan Water District,the • Housing Authority of Salt Lake City and the Salt Lake City Mosquito Abatement District. City officials appoint members of these three boards,but the City's accountability does not extend beyond making the appointments. • 50 • • • SALT LAKE CITY CORPORATION NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30,2010 Basis of Presentation-Government-wide and fund financial statements 41 Government-wide statements are comprised of the statement of net assets and the statement of activities. They contain information on all of the activities of the primary government and its component units except for fiduciary activities. Most effects of inter-fund activities have been eliminated from these statements. The exceptions are (1) payments-in-lieu-of-taxes the General Fund charges enterprise funds; (2) charges for water, sewer, storm-water and 41 refuse that all customers pay to these enterprise funds and(3)charges for centrally provided services of the General Fund 41 that benefit the receiving fund. Examples are payroll,purchasing,human resources and legal services. The government- wide statements for the primary government are separated based on the predominance of the type of revenues that support them. Governmental activities are normally supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, while business- type activities receive a significant portion of revenues from fees and charges for services. Certain entities that are legally separate, but financially accountable to the primary government are reported separately on the government-wide r� statements. The City currently has one of these entities, its discretely presented component unit. The statement of activities is presented to show the extent that program revenues of a given activity support direct expenses. Direct expenses are those that can clearly be associated with a particular activity or program. Program revenues are: (I)charges to customers or others who purchase use or directly benefit from the services or goods • provided by a given activity or segment or (2) grants or other contributions that are restricted to operating or capital needs of a specific activity or segment. General revenues are those revenues like taxes and other items that are not properly reported as program revenues. Separate financial statements are included for governmental funds, proprietary funds and fiduciary 'lA funds. Fiduciary funds, however, are not included in the totals for the government-wide financial statements. Major individual governmental funds are reported in separate columns in the governmental funds statements, as are major individual proprietary funds in the proprietary funds statements. Measurement focus and basis of accounting Measurement focus refers to the types of assets that appear on the statement of net assets and changes to those same assets that appear on the statement of activities. The flow of financial resources measurement focus shows current assets and liabilities on the statement of net assets and changes to net current assets in the statement of activities. The flow of economic resources measurement focus shows total assets and liabilities on the statement of net assets and changes to net assets on the statement of activities. Basis of accounting refers to when revenues and expenditures or expenses are recognized in the accounts and reported in the financial statements. Government-wide,proprietary and fiduciary fund statements use the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized in the accounting period in which they are earned and expenses are recognized in the period incurred, regardless of the timing of the related cash flows. Unbilled fees for proprietary funds are recorded as receivables at year end. Property taxes are recorded as revenues in the year for which they are levied. Grants and similar other contributions are recognized as revenue as soon as the eligibility requirements of the provider have been met. The City's major enterprise funds are: (1) Water Utility Fund, (2) The Department of Airports, (3) Sewer Utility Fund, (4) Housing Loans Fund and (5) Redevelopment Agency of Salt Lake City, whose purpose is described previously in the section titled "Blended Component Units". The Water Utility collects or purchases fresh water, then treats it, and delivers the now potable water to nearly all residents and business located in the City and many residents and business located geographically outside the boundaries of the City. The Department of Airports operates the Salt Lake City International Airport, Airport II and the Tooele Valley Airport, the latter two of which are located outside the boundaries of The City. The Housing Loans Fund provides loans to low and moderate-income families and individuals. Resources for these loans are received from a variety of sources including federal government, state government, financial institutions and internally generated sources. The Housing Loans Fund also services these same loans. The Sewer Utility Fund provides treatment and disposition services for waste water. In addition to the major enterprise funds, The City also operates four non-major enterprise funds and five internal service funds. The non-major enterprise funds are the Intermodal Hub, Storm Water Utility, Golf and Refuse. The Intermodal Hub is a fund whose purpose is to provide a central connecting point between the City's inter- 51 SALT LAKE CITY CORPORATION ` NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30,2010 F state passenger bus and rail lines to the commuter bus and light rail systems. The Storm Water Utility provides treatment , and disposition services for storm runoff. The Golf Fund operates all City-owned golf courses, while the Refuse Fund provides refuse collection and recycling services for residences and businesses of the City. Internal service funds , provide services to other departments or agencies of the City on a cost reimbursement basis. The internal service funds F are Fleet Management, Information Management, Risk Management, Governmental Immunity and the Municipal Building Authority. The Fleet Management fund owns and services all vehicles of the governmental funds and services r vehicles owned by many of the enterprise funds. Information Management maintains the infrastructure for the hard- t wired telephone system, centralized computer services and the network of personal computers. Risk Management t provides centralized services for the employee benefits of health, life, accident, dental, and long-term disability as well as unemployment, workers' compensation and property insurance needs. The Governmental Immunity Fund manages the City's general liability activities. The Municipal Building Authority's purpose is discussed previously in the section 1 titled"Blended Component Units". The fiduciary fund is the Executive Deferred Compensation Fund. The City is the trustee for this fund and manages it in accordance with provisions of the Utah State Money Management Act and the City's own ordinances, policies and procedures. In the past, city executives could elect to have some or all of their deferred compensation ' It contributed to this fund,but it is now closed to further contributions. °It 4 Proprietary funds separate operating and non-operating revenues and expenses. Operating revenues and expenses normally arise from providing goods and services in connection with the fund's normal ongoing operations. The principal source of operating revenues for the proprietary funds and the internal service funds are charges to customers for goods and services. Operating expenses include the cost of sales and services, administrative 41 overhead expenses and depreciation on capital assets. All other revenues or expenses are recorded as non-operating. The City has adopted GASB Statement No. 20, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Proprietary • Funds and Other Governmental Entities that use Proprietary Fund Accounting. Accordingly, the City has elected to apply all applicable GASB pronouncements as well as Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) pronouncements • 0. and Accounting Principles Board(APB)Opinions issued on or before November 30, 1989,unless those pronouncements , conflict with or contradict GASB pronouncements. Consequently,the City does not apply FASB pronouncements issued after November 30, 1989. art Governmental fund statements use the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual Ilik basis of accounting. Under the modified accrual basis, revenues are recognized when they become measurable and ' available. "Measurable" means that amounts can be reasonably determined within the current period. "Available" means that amounts are collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to be used to pay liabilities of the current period. As a practical matter,the City uses two months as a cutoff for meeting the available criterion. Property taxes are considered"measurable"when levied and available when collected and held by Salt Lake County(the County). * Any amounts not available are recorded as deferred revenue. Franchise taxes are considered "measurable" when 00 collected and held by the utility company,and are recognized as revenue at that time.Other revenues that are determined 1l to be susceptible to accrual include grants-in-aid earned and other intergovernmental revenues, charges for services, 10 interest, assessments, inter-fund service charges, permits, fines, forfeitures, parking ticket and meter fees, and sale of property. Property taxes and assessments are recorded as receivables when levied or assessed; however, they are Ilk reported as deferred revenue until the "available" criterion has been met. Sales and use taxes collected by the state and 00 remitted to the City within the "available" time period are recognized as revenue. Revenues collected in advance are 1 deferred and recognized in the period to which they apply. 1 Revenues that are determined to not be susceptible to accrual because they are either not available soon enough to pay liabilities of the current period (two months) or are not objectively measurable include licenses, Ike contributions,and miscellaneous revenues. These revenues are recognized when cash is received. Expenditures are recognized in the accounting period in which the fund liability is incurred,except for long-term obligations(debt service payments, long term compensated absences and other post employment benefits)and • related interest which are recognized as expenditures when due. Inventories of supplies are expended when purchased. AO' 0 0 52 SA St 0 SALT LAKE CITY CORPORATION NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30,2010 The City has two major governmental funds, the General Fund and the Capital Projects Fund. The General Fund is the main operating fund. It accounts for all financial resources of the general government, except for those required to be accounted for in another fund. The Capital Projects Fund accounts for resources dedicated to the construction or improvement of capital assets, which may take more than one budgetary cycle to complete. These constructed or improved capital assets are for the benefit of any or all governmental funds. In addition to the listed major governmental funds, the City also has a total of ten non-major governmental funds: (1) the Arts Council, (2) Downtown Economic Development, (3) Community Development Block Grant(CDBG) Operating, (4) Other Grants Operating, (5) Street Lighting, (6) Demolition, Weed & Forfeiture, (7) Emergency 911 Dispatch, (8) Salt Lake City Donation, (9) Special Improvement Debt Service and(10) Other Improvements Debt Service. As their name implies, the last two are debt service funds while the first eight are special revenue funds. Budgets and budgetary accounting I Budgets are legally required for governmental funds. The City has a policy of budgeting for proprietary funds. Annual budgets are prepared and adopted by the City Council on or before June 15 for the fiscal year commencing the following July 1, in accordance with Utah State law. The operating budget includes proposed expenditures and the p proposed sources of financing for such expenditures. Prior to June 15, a public hearing is conducted to obtain taxpayer input. Budgets are adopted by ordinance in total for each department. Expenditures cannot exceed appropriations at the department level. For budgetary purposes, the City considers each enterprise fund to be a ift department. Management can move budgeted amounts from one line item to another within a department or decrease appropriations. The City Council can increase appropriations after holding a public hearing. During the year ended June 30,2010,the City Council passed several supplementary appropriations. The General Fund budget is prepared using the modified accrual basis of accounting adjusted for encumbrances, changes in compensated absences and changes in other post employment benefits. Encumbrance accounting is used by the City to assure effective budgetary control and accountability, and to comply with State law. However, only the General Fund budget is prepared under the assumption that actual expenditures will be adjusted for encumbrances. Unencumbered General Fund appropriations lapse at year end. Encumbered amounts carry over to the subsequent year and are shown as a reservation of fund balance. Generally accepted accounting principles require that open encumbrances not be reported with expenditures. However, in the General Fund budget to actual financial statement, the actual amounts are adjusted to include encumbrances. Compensated absences are budgeted on a cash basis. Non-cash changes in the balances of compensated absences are therefore eliminated for budgetary purposes. Capital lease purchases are budgeted in the year payments are due rather than in the year purchased. Budgets for the Special Revenue Funds, Debt Service Funds and the Capital Projects Fund are also prepared using the modified accrual basis of accounting and are adopted on an annual basis. The budget for the Community Development Operating, Grants Operating (special revenue funds), and the Capital Projects Fund are prepared annually for a specific set of projects. The Debt Service Funds' budgets are not prepared by project. By state law only budgets in the Capital Projects Fund do not lapse at year-end. Therefore, any remaining budget in the Grants Operating Fund and the Community Development Operating Fund are re-appropriated by Council action in the following year. State law also requires a budget comparison for all funds for which an annual budget is adopted. In these three funds, the Council adopts the entire amount of the project, even though the project may not be completed in the first year. As a result, the budget comparisons on an annual basis may show large amounts of unexpended appropriations. Budgets for the Downtown Economic Development Fund, Street Lighting Fund, Demolition, Weed Abatement & Forfeiture Fund, and Emergency 911 Fund (special revenue funds) lapse at year end. Encumbrances are not reported as expenditures,but where necessary,are re-appropriated in the ensuing year's budget. Budgets for the proprietary ryfunds are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting except for depreciation, lease amortization, and the changes in compensated absences and other post employment benefits, which are not budgeted. Budgets are adopted for the entire amount of estimated proceeds from the sale of property and equipment rather than on the gain or loss from the sale as is reported in the financial statements. Budgets are also adopted for the entire amount of any debt issued to finance multi-year acquisition and construction projects. Budget comparisons in the proprietary funds may therefore show large amounts of unexpended appropriations for construction projects. These unexpended amounts are re-appropriated the following year. I 53 SALT LAKE CITY CORPORATION NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30,2010 Cash,Cash Equivalents and Investments The City complies with GASB Statement No. 31 Accounting and Financial Reporting for Certain Investments and for External Investment Pools. The statement requires certain investments to be reported at fair value and the change in fair value to be included in revenues or expenses. The City's policy is to report all investments at fair value except for money market investments and interest-earning investment contracts with a remaining maturity at time of purchase of ninety days or less. These are reported at amortized cost. The City's investment in the State Treasurer's Pool has a fair value equivalent to the value of the pool shares.This pool is administered by the State of Utah and is regulated by the Money Management Council under provisions of the Utah State Money Management Act. In all statements,the City considers all highly liquid investments(including restricted assets)that mature within ninety days or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Inventories of supplies Inventories of supplies for the proprietary fund types are stated at the lower of cost(using the first-in first-out method)or market. In the proprietary funds,inventory items arc considered expenses when used(consumption b method). p Depreciable capital assets pm Capital assets are valued at historical cost or estimated historical cost for assets where actual historical cost was not available. Donated capital assets arc valued at their estimated fair market value on the date donated. The City has a capitalization threshold of$100,000 for infrastructure in the public right of way and$5,000 for all other assets. The City follows CIAAP by capitalizing a portion of its interest costs(net of any interest earned on related • interest hearing investments acquired with proceeds of related tax-exempt borrowings)as a cost of constructed property and equipment in enterprise funds. Net interest capitalized for the year ended June 30, 2010, was $1,662,694. • Depreciation of capital assets is computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives: Buildings 35-60 years • Building improvements 5-40 years . Improvements other than buildings 25-35 years • Machinery and equipment,including leased property under capital leases 3-20 years Infrastructure in public way; Roads, • signals,lights and bridges 20-50 years • Water and sewer lines I3-100 years Construction in Progress is not depreciated •r until the asset is placed into service • Bond Issuance Costs and Amortization • Amortization of bond premiums or discounts are computed on the effective interest or straight-line • method over the life of the related bonds. When the straight-line method is used,it approximates the effective interest • method. Bond issue costs are amortized using the straight line method. « Property taxes • • Ad valorem(based on value)property taxes constitute a major source of General Fund revenue. Taxes • are levied through the passage of an ordinance in June of each year. The levy is applicable to only one year. All taxable • property is required to be assessed and taxcd at a uniform and equal rate on the basis of its fair market value. The State Tax Commission is required to assess certain statutorily specified types of property including public utilities and mining property. The county assessor is required to assess all other taxable property,and both entities are required to assess the respective types of property as of January 1,the assessment date. The County is then required to complete the tax rolls • • 54 • • • SALT LAKE CITY CORPORATION NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30,2010 by May 15. By July 21, the county treasurer is to mail assessed value and tax notices to property owners. Then a taxpayer may petition the county board of equalization between August 1 and August 15 for a revision of the assessed value. Approved changes in assessed value are made by the county auditor by November 1 and on this same date the auditor is to deliver the completed assessment rolls to the county treasurer. Tax notices are mailed with a due date of November 30, and delinquent taxes are subject to a penalty. Unless the delinquent taxes and penalties are paid before January 15, a lien is attached to the property, and the amount of taxes and penalties bear interest from January 1 until paid. If after five years delinquent taxes have not been paid, the County sells the property at a tax sale. Tax collections s are remitted to the City from the County on a monthly basis. With the July 1, 2000 adoption of Governmental Accounting Standards Board(GASB) Statement No. 33,more fully described below, the City changed its accounting for property taxes. 4 GASB Statement No. 33,Accounting and Financial Reporting for Nonexchange Transactions, defines 4 a non-exchange transaction as one in which"a government either gives value to another party without directly receiving 4 equal value in exchange or receives value from another party without directly giving equal value in exchange." For property taxes, at January 1 of each year (the assessment date), The City has the legal right to collect the taxes, and in accordance with the provisions of the statement, has recorded a receivable and a corresponding deferred revenue for the assessed amount of those property taxes as of January 1,2010. 4 Interfund transactions In the normal course of its operations, the City has various transactions between funds. Various City funds provide a number of services such as administrative, fleet maintenance,and information processing to certain other + City funds. Charges are treated as revenues in the fund providing the service and as operating expenses in the fund receiving the service (see note 9). Transfers are recognized as transfers in and out, respectively, by the funds receiving and providing the transfer. Short-term payables are shown as due to/from other funds. Long-term payables are shown as advances to/from other funds. Long-term liabilities Long-term liabilities that will be financed from governmental funds are accounted for in the governmental activities portion of the government-wide statements,while those of proprietary funds are accounted for in their respective fund. Use of Fund Balance When both restricted and unrestricted fund balance is available to use for expenditure appropriation, the City's policy is to use restricted fund balance first. Net Assets The City's net assets are classified as follows: (1)Invested in capital assets, net of related debt, which consists of the total investment in capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation and reduced by the outstanding debt obligations related to those assets. To the extent debt has been incurred, but not yet expended for capital assets, such amounts are not included as a component of invested in capital assets, net of related debt; (2) Restricted for capital projects are amounts that are restricted by debt covenants to be expended for capital assets; (3) Restricted for debt service consists of that portion of net assets that is restricted by debt covenants for debt service; (4) Unrestricted net assets consist of everything else that does not meet the criteria above. Land and buildings held for resale The cost of land and buildings held for resale in the Housing Loans Fund and Redevelopment Agency (enterprise funds) are capitalized until the related property is subsequently sold. Land and buildings held for resale are carried at the lower of cost, market, or committed sales price. Costs of buildings and improvements that management determines are not recoverable are expensed. Gains and losses on dispositions of land and buildings held for resale are included in the operating statement. 55 �2 SALT LAKE CITY CORPORATION NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30,2010 Use of Estimates in Preparing Financial Statements The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the management of the City to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities. Estimate use also requires the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Total columns The total columns shown on the accompanying fund financial statements are mathematical totals only �. and do not eliminate inter-fund transactions or include other entries required to present consolidated financial statements. The government-wide financial statements do,however,eliminate most inter-fund transactions and the double counting of revenues and expenses. They are therefore much closer to the consolidated financial statements presented in private b sector accounting. k 2. Cash,Cash Equivalents and Investments The City maintains a cash pool and an investment pool that are available for use by all funds. Each fund type's portion of these pools is included in the combined balance sheet as "Cash and cash equivalents" and • "Investments". Also included are investments separately held by several of the City's funds. 0 It is the policy of Salt Lake City Corporation to invest public funds in accordance with the principles • of sound treasury management and in compliance with state and local laws,regulations,and other policies governing the investment of public funds,specifically,according to the terms and conditions of the Utah State Money Management Act • of 1974 and Rules of the State Money Management Council as currently amended(the"Act"),and the City's own A. • written investment policy. M; Public Treasurers may use investment advisers to conduct investment transactions on behalf of public • treasurers as permitted by statue,Rules of the Money Management Council and local ordinance or policy. Investment • advisers must be certified by the Director of the Utah State Division of Securities of the Department of Commerce(the • "Director")and meet the requirements of the Utah Money Management Act (Rule 15 of the State Money Management • Council). Broker/dealers and agents who desire to become certified dealers must be certified by the Director and meet • the requirements of the Utah Money Management Act (Rule 16 of the State Money Management Council). Only Qualified Depositories as certified by Utah's Commissioner of Financial Institutions are eligible to receive and hold • deposits of public funds(Rule 12 of the State Money Management Council). The Utah Money Management Council • issues a quarterly list of certified investment advisers,certified dealers,and qualified depositories authorized by state • statute to conduct transactions with public treasurers. Transactions involving authorized deposits or investments of • public funds may be conducted only through issuers of securities authorized by Section 51-7-11(3), qualified • depositories included in the current state list and certified dealers included in the current state list. All securities purchased through a certified investment adviser or certified dealer are required to be delivered to the custody of the City • Treasurer or to the City's safekeeping bank or trust company. • • The City may place public money in investments/deposits authorized by the Money Management Act • (U.C.A.51-7-11). The Treasurer shall ensure that all purchases and sales of securities arc settled within 15 days of the trade date. In general these investments can be any of the following subject to restrictions specified in the Act: (1) • Obligations of the U.S.Treasury and most Government-Sponsored Agencies;(2)Commercial paper that is classified as • "first tier"by two nationally recognized statistical rating organizations,one of which must be Moody's Investors Service • or Standard&Poor's;(3)Bankers'Acceptances;(4)Publicly traded fixed rate corporate obligations rated"A"or higher, • or the equivalent of"A"or higher,by two nationally recognized statistical rating organizations;(5)Certain variable rate • securities and deposits with the same rating requirements as the fixed rate corporate obligations;(6)Utah State Public Treasurer's Investment Pool;(7)Certain fixed rate negotiable deposits with a qualified depository or through a certified dealer;(8)Qualifying repurchase agreements;(9)Open-end managed money market mutual funds;(10)Investments - with deferred compensation plan administrators. • • 56 • • • SALT LAKE CITY CORPORATION NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30,2010 The City did not enter into any reverse repurchase agreements during the year ended June 30, 2010. City policy provides that not more than 25% of total City funds or 25% of the qualified depository's allotment, whichever is less, can be invested in any one qualified depository. Not more than 20% of total City funds may be invested in any one certified out-of-state depository institution. However, there shall be no limitation placed on the amount invested with the Public Treasurers' Investment Fund (State Treasurer's Pool) and other money market 4 mutual funds,provided that the overall standards of investments achieve the City's policy objectives. 4 The City's deposits are insured up to $250,000 per account by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Deposits above the $250,000 per account are exposed to custodial credit risk. Custodial credit risk for 4 deposits is the risk that in the event of a bank failure, the City's deposits may not be recovered. The bank balance of the Primary Government's deposits totaled$5,832,909. Of this amount, $874,422 was insured and the remaining$4,958,487 was uninsured and uncollateralized. The bank balance of the Library component unit totaled $146,386, all of it insured by federal depository insurance. The City has no formal policy regarding deposit credit risk. 4 Investments - The City Treasurer may take physical delivery of securities or may use a qualified 4 depository bank for safekeeping securities. An account with a money center bank may be maintained for the purpose of 4 settling investment transactions, safekeeping and collecting those investments. A safekeeping receipt issued by a qualified depository supports repurchase agreements with qualified depositories; otherwise, the securities are held in the custody of the City Treasurer or the City's safekeeping bank or trust company. Online access to accounts and monthly statements support investments in the State Treasurer's Pool. All funds pledged or otherwise dedicated to the payment of interest and principal of bonds issued by the City are invested in accordance with the terms and borrowing instruments 1 applicable to such bonds. City policy also provides that the remaining term to maturity of an investment may not exceed the period of availability of the funds invested. The investment of City funds cannot be of a speculative nature. Custodial credit risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of a failure of the counter party, the City will not be able to recover the value of the investment or collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. Of the total $513,063,842 invested by the City, $12,277,930 was exposed to custodial credit risk. The entire amount exposed was held in the City's name by the counterparty. The Library Component unit had$686,780 exposed to custodial credit risk with the entire amount held in the City's name by the counter party. The City has no formal policy with respect to investment custodial credit risk. Investment interest rate risk is the risk that changes in interest rates of debt investments will adversely affect the fair value of an investment. The City currently has no policy regarding investment interest rate risk.

This collected balance includes amounts invested that show as outstanding checks on the bank reconciliation. a 3. Loans Receivable The Housing Loans Fund (an enterprise fund)provides loans to residents for improvements in existing housing within designated project areas. It also provides mortgage loans to residents within the same designated project areas. Some loans are payable in monthly installments, others are due on sale or transfer of ownership of the related property, and other loan payments are deferred. These loans have interest rates ranging from 0% to 7% and are collateralized by property or a letter of credit. Housing loans receivable as of June 30, 2010 were $40,506,824, net of $3,037,329 estimated as uncollectible. The Grants Operating Fund (a special revenue fund) provides loans for commercial construction. The loans receivable at June 30, 2010 were$3,114,995. Most of these loans are payable in monthly or quarterly installments. One loan has no payment due until the related housing project realizes an operating profit,though interest continues to accrue. These loans have interest rates ranging from 0% to 8.5% and are collateralized by trust deeds on property with the City as a second mortgage holder or by equipment and other assets. The Redevelopment Agency (RDA - an enterprise fund) provides housing loans to homeowners and construction loans to contractors within a designated area of the City. These loans total $28,508,621 at June 30, 2010, are payable in monthly installments, bear interest from 0%to 7.0%and are collateralized by property, letters of credit or restricted cash accounts. '1 4. Restricted Assets I The bond resolutions require all bond proceeds and revenue earned on bond proceeds to be restricted to the payment of bond construction projects specified within the resolutions, the payment of bond principal and interest, and the renewal and replacement of specified property and equipment. Certain Water Utility certificates of deposit are also restricted for consumer deposits and for contributions for reservoir and supply line construction. Restricted assets in the Department of Airports(an enterprise fund)are restricted for construction projects at the Airport under the Passenger Facilities Charges(PFC)Program agreement. Restricted assets in the Redevelopment Agency (an enterprise fund) are restricted by provision of bond resolutions. 59 SALT LAKE CITY CORPORATION NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30,2010 Restricted assets in the Demolition,Weed and Forfeiture special revenue fund are restricted while awaiting the adjudication of Police Department asset seizures related to criminal cases.

Firefighters are covered by the Firemen's 1 System and substantially all other permanent City employees arc covered by either the Contributory System or the 1 Noncontributory System. The Noncontributory System was implemented in 1986 as a result of legislation by the State of Utah. The Noncontributory System is mandatory for all new full time employees other than police and firefighters. Current employees were given the opportunity to remain with their present retirement plan or to convert membership to the new Noncontributory system that provides a benefit formula using a three year rather than a five year average salary. 1 Other legislation enhanced death benefits for public employees,removed time limitations on re-deposits in the Firemen's p System,amended the laws on disability within the Public Safety System,and tightened the laws governing refunds.The .w systems are established and governed by the respective sections of Chapter 49 of the Utah Code Annotated 1951 as • amended.The Utah State Retirement Office Act in Chapter 49 provides for the administration of the Utah Retirement Systems and Plans under the direction of the Utah State Retirement Board (Board).

Examples include assumptions about future N employment,mortality,and the healthcare cost trend. Amounts determined regarding the funded status of the plan and the annual required contributions of the employer are subject to continual revision as actual results arc compared with • past expectations and new estimates arc made about the future. The schedule of funding progress,shown as required supplementary information following the notes to the financial statements,presents the results of OPEB valuations as of « June 30,2010 and looking forward,the schedule will eventually provide another year of about whether the actuarial it values of plan assets arc increasing or decreasing over time relative to the actuarial accrued liabilities for benefits. • • Actuarial Methods and Assumptions- Projections of benefits for financial reporting purposes are based on the substantive plan(the plan as understood by the employer and the plan members)and include the types of benefits « provided at the time of each valuation and the historical pattern of sharing of benefit costs between the employer and .. • plan members to that point. The actuarial methods and assumptions used include techniques that are designed to reduce short-term volatility in actuarial accrued liabilities and the actuarial value of assets, consistent with the long-term • perspective of the calculations. • 74 • r SALT LAKE CITY CORPORATION NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30,2010 In the fiscal year 2010 actuarial valuation,the unit credit method was used. The actuarial assumptions included a 5.0% investment rate of return (net of administrative expenses) and an annual healthcare cost trend rate of 10% initially, reduced by decrements to an ultimate rate of 5.0% after ten years. Covered payroll included a 3.5% inflation assumption. The actuarial value of assets was not determined as the City has not advance funded its obligation. The unfunded actuarial accrued liability(UAAL) is being amortized as a level percentage of payroll over a closed thirty year 8 period. The City also provides health, dental and employee assistance benefits to terminated employees under the federal Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA). Substantially all employees are eligible for these benefits upon termination of employment with the City. Depending upon the qualifying event, former employees areeligible for either 18 or 36 months of benefits under this act. The premiums for this coverage plus a 2% administrative charge are paid 100%by the former employee. 4 14. Deferred Compensation Plans 457 Deferred Compensation Plan - The City offers its employees a deferred compensation plan created in accordance with Internal Revenue Code Section 457. The Plan, available to all City employees,permits them to defer a portion of their salary until future years. Employees are eligible to voluntarily participate from the date of employment and are vested immediately upon participating. The City is not obligated to contribute to the plan and does not 4t contribute. Employees contributed $1,364,663 to the Utah State Retirement administered portion and payments were processed in the amount of $1,361,156 to other administering companies during the fiscal year. All amounts were transferred to the state or administering insurance companies by the due dates. The 457 deferred monies are not available to the City or its general creditors. The 457 resources for which the City has custody and performs all administrative duties, including investment activities,under the Plan are accounted for in a fiduciary fund. Amounts held by entities other than the City do not appear in these financial statements. 401(k) Deferred Compensation Plan - The City also sponsors a deferred compensation plan under Internal Revenue Code Section 401(k) for City employees covered by any of the state retirement plans. The Utah State Retirement Board administers this Plan. The City's total payroll expense in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 was $149,600,338. Of that amount, payroll of$141,839,717 was eligible to participate in this Plan. The City participates at a rate of 2.65% or 1.45% of base payroll only for those current employees who changed from the contributory state retirement plan to the noncontributory retirement plan. The 2.65%applies to current employees who changed at the first opportunity in 1986 and the 1.45% applies to current employees who changed at the second opportunity in 1990. The rate of City participation was established and can be changed by City Council action. During the year ended June 30, 2010, employees contributed $2,842,391 and the City contributed $521,472. All contributions were made by the due dates. The 401(k) deferred compensation monies are not available to the City or its general creditors. Therefore, no assets or liabilities of the 401(k)deferred compensation plan are reflected in these financial statements.

Under this new agreement the City will continue to provide culinary water to the customers of the Big Ij Cottonwood Tanner Ditch Irrigation Company and will provide them with water vouchers which will entitle them to a set amount of water at no charge in return for their ownership in the water rights to the canyon stream. The City also agreed to upgrade the water system to meet current water system standards and to take ownership of the system. The financial 11) statements show the increase in water rights and the value of the system purchased. In addition a new liability account called revenue collected in advance was required to show the value of the water vouchers issued in the amount of$20,250,866 longterm and$1,260,923 in current liabilities. Pollution remediation: 4 The City reported a future liability and receivable of $575,275 for pollution remediation expenses associated with the Chevron Red Butte oil spill. The pipeline,which runs along the eastern edge of the city, leaked into Red Butte Creek and the Liberty Park Lake which acts as a storm water detention basin. Although not on City property, the Mayor and Council of the City felt compelled to take action because of an imminent danger to public welfare and the environment. The estimate covers expected expenses for clean-up, water and air quality evaluation and other related costs and is based on existing contracts and city employee's time and material. Chevron Oil Company is expected to cover all costs of clean-up and mitigation and reimburse the city for any of its costs associated with the spill. The potential exists for changes in these estimates and will be adjusted in future time periods. The City's Department of Airports (an enterprise fund) recorded operating expenses and a future liability obligation of$191,750 associated with two pollution remediation sites, both associated with leaking underground fuel tanks. Two replacements of storage tanks are expected to be required at a cost of$20,000 each,one replacement to be completed in FY2011, and another expected within 5 years. The remainder of the cost is for future years' ground water monitoring at the sites. Estimates of the expenses and liability were based on the costs of the replacement fuel tanks as well as a cost of a contract negotiated with an outside contractor for future monitoring. The potential exists for changes in these estimates, and both costs and future liabilities will be adjusted if necessary in future periods. The Airport is self-insured for incidents of this magnitude,and no insurance or other recoveries are anticipated. In the normal course of operations, the City receives grant funds from various Federal Agencies. The grant programs are subject to audit by agents of the granting authority, the purpose of which is to ensure compliance with conditions precedent to the granting of funds. Any liability for reimbursement that may arise as the result of audits of grant funds is not believed to be material. 77 SALT LAKE CITY CORPORATION NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30,2010 16.

Joint Venture The City is a member of a joint venture known as the City/County landfill in which the City and Salt Lake County (through its Municipal Affairs Fund and the remainder of the County)each have fifty percent interest. The joint venture was created to provide solid waste management and disposal services. The City's equity in the net resources of the landfill at June 30, 2010, was $22,382,101. This equity interest is shown in the City's Refuse Collection Fund (an enterprise fund). The interlocal cooperation agreement created the joint venture and established the Salt Lake Valley Solid Waste Management Council (the Council). The Council consists of five members: one of the County Commissioners, the Mayor of the City,an elected official designated by the Salt Lake County Council of Governments, a member of the Salt Lake City/County Board of Health and one member with technical expertise in solid waste disposal. The Council's responsibilities are to: (1)appoint or remove,as needed,a landfill manager who reports to the Council;(2)plan,establish and approve all construction projects for solid waste operations; and(3)prepare an annual operating budget that includes expenditures and the means of financing them. All actions by the Council are recommendations to the City Council and the County Commission, which have equal power to review,ratify, modify, or veto any action submitted by the Council. The Council has developed a master plan designed to comply with environmental standards established by the federal government and to meet accounting and financial reporting requirements under GASB Statement No. 18, Accounting,for Municipal Solid Waste Landfill Closure and Post-closure Care Costs. In compliance with this standard, the Council has established user fees sufficient to cover all operating costs, including post-closure costs that have been mandated by the federal government. The estimated liability for closure and post closure care was established under the requirement set by the State of Utah's Department of Environmental Quality(DEQ)and is based on an engineering study completed during 2005. The estimate totals $25,092,094 at Salt Lake County's fiscal year end and is based on 24.2% filled and estimated total current costs of landfill closure and post-closure care of$48,843,000 The landfill is expected to be filled to capacity in the year 2052. The Landfill is required by state and federal laws and regulation to make annual contributions to finance closure and post closure care.

Budgetary-GAAP Reporting Reconciliation The City Council can amend the budget to any extent, provided the budgeted expenditures do not exceed revenues and appropriated fund balance. During the year ended June 30, 2010, General Fund appropriations decreased by a net$647,000. There was an increase of$1,977,000 to accommodate prior year encumbrances that occurred early in the fiscal year. Offsetting this initial increase were subsequent net decreases totaling $2,624,000. These net decreases were enacted to manage the effects of another year of decreasing actual and projected revenues compared to initially budgeted revenues. The Schedules of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balance - Budget and Actual include comparisons of the legally adopted budget(more fully described in Note 1 of the Notes to the Financial Statements)with actual data on a budgetary basis for the General Fund and proprietary funds that have a budgetary basis that differs from GAAP.

Certified Public Accountants INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT ON STATE LEGAL COMPLIANCE The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council Salt Lake City Corporation We have audited the basic financial statements of Salt Lake City Corporation (the City), for the year ended June 30, 2010, and have issued our report thereon dated December 21, 2010. As part of our audit, we have audited the City's compliance with the requirements governing types of services allowed or unallowed; eligibility; matching, level of effort, or earmarking;reporting; and special tests and provisions as applicable to each of its major State assistance programs as required by the State of Utah Legal Compliance Audit Guide for the year ended June 30, 2010. The City received the following major assistance programs from the State of Utah: • B & C Road Funds(Department of Transportation) • Liquor Law Enforcement(State Tax Commission) The City also received the following nonmajor grants which are not required to be audited for specific compliance requirements: (However, these programs were subject to testwork as part of the audit of the City's financial statements.) • Emergency Medical Services(Bureau of Emergency Services) • Asset Forfeiture CCJJ(Commission on Criminal and Juvenile Justice) • Violence Against Women Act(Commission on Criminal and Juvenile Justice) • Historic Preservation(Department of Community and Economic Development) • Intensive Level Survey—Historic Preservation(Department of Community Culture) • Tooele Valley Airport Apron Expansion(Department of Transportation/Division of Aeronautics) • Taxiway Seal Coat(Department of Transportation/Division of Aeronautics) • Wasatch Touring—Permeable Pavement Demonstration Project(Division of Forestry) • Critical Land Inventory(Governor's Office of Planning and Budget) • Crisis Intervention Team(Health and Human Services) • Interagency Outreach Training Initiative—Crisis Intervention Team(Utah State University) 5 Triad Center,Suite 750,Salt Lake City,Utah 84180-1128 BAKER T 1 L LY Registered with the Public Company INTERNATIONAL Accounting Oversight Board TEL 801-532-2200 FAX 801-532-7944 www.hbmcpas.com ADDING VALUE I NOT COMPLEXITY Our audit also included testwork on the City's compliance with the following general compliance requirements identified in the State of Utah Legal Compliance Audit Guide: • Public Debt • B & C Road Funds • Cash Management • Other General Compliance Issues • Purchasing Requirements • Uniform Building Code Standards • Budgetary Compliance • Impact Fees • Truth in Taxation and Property Tax • Asset Forfeiture Limitations • Utah Retirement System Compliance • Liquor Law Enforcement • Fund Balance Limitation • Justice Court The management of the City is responsible for the City's compliance with all compliance requirements identified above. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on compliance with those requirements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether material noncompliance with the requirements referred to above occurred. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence about the City's compliance with those requirements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our audit does not provide a legal determination on the city's compliance with these requirements. The results of our audit procedures disclosed an immaterial instance of noncompliance with requirements referred to above, which is described in the accompanying schedule of findings and responses. We considered these instances of noncompliance in forming our opinion on compliance, which is expressed in the following paragraph. In our opinion, the City complied, in all material respects, with the general compliance requirements identified above and the requirements governing types of services allowed or unallowed; eligibility; matching, level of effort, or earmarking; reporting; and special tests and provisions that are applicable to each of its major State assistance programs for the year ended June 30, 2010. The City's written response to the finding identified in our audit is described in the accompanying schedule of findings and responses. We did not audit the city's response and, accordingly, we express no opinion on it. This report is intended solely for the information and use of the City's management and State funding agencies, as well as the Utah State Auditor's Office and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties. However, the report is a matter of public record and its distribution is not limited. *140f) ?a/00kt 7614,012)?e. HANSEN,BARNETT&MAXWELL,P.C. Salt Lake City, Utah December 21, 2010 Salt Lake City,Utah Schedule of Findings and Responses—State Compliance For the Year Ended June 30,2010 Current Year Findings: 1. Budgeting Expenditures in excess of appropriations Criteria: Utah Code,Section 10-6 requires budget integrity for each separate activity in total for special revenue funds.Therefore,special revenue funds shall not incur expenditures or encumbrances in excess of the total appropriation for that fund. Condition: In examining the Arts Council Fund records and financial reports for the year ended June 30, 2010 it was determined the expenditures exceeded the amounts appropriated in the final adopted budget by$11,481. Cause: For the year ended June 30, 2010, the Arts Council Fund incurred expenditures in excess of appropriations because of higher than anticipated costs in the artists' fees and production costs for Twilight Concert Series and Living Traditions Festival,and administrative expenses such as equipment rental,insurance,office and building supplies,utilities and phone services. Effect: For the year ended June 30,2010,the City is not compliant with the above criteria for the Arts Council Fund. Recommendations: We recommend that the City review its budgeting procedures for this fund and determine how it can more effectively budget for this fund in the future. Management Response:The Arts Council is a non-profit organization[IRS code 501(c)(3)].Even though it is a blended component unit of Salt Lake City,the Arts Council has its own financial system.To avoid future over budget conditions, The Arts Council, along with the Department of Community and Development, will: (A) Turn on a system feature called budget controls; (B) Provide the Finance Department with quarterly reports;and(C)Evaluate the Arts Council's accounting system for possible replacement. Status of Prior Year Findings: 1. Accounting Remittance of building fee surcharges Criteria: Utah Code, Section 58-56-9(4) mandates that each compliance agency shall charge a 1% surcharge on all building permits issued and shall remit 80% of the surcharge collected to the Division of Occupational and Professional Licensing (DOPL) to be deposited into the General Fund as a dedicated credit to be utilized by the division to provide inspectors with the necessary training, education, and testing in order to meet the minimum qualifications to become licensed as building inspectors. Condition: We are unable to determine whether the City is compliant with the above criteria for the year ended June 30, 2009. Cause: During our testing of the above criteria we noted that the City was unable to reconcile payments remitted to DOPL during the year with its accounting records. This lack of reconciling indicates a change from effective internal control over the quarterly payment calculation. Further, we noted that the City's cash register system and newly installed software (Accela) does not consistently segregate the five types of building permit fees and the associated surcharges from other permit fees collected by the City. We conclude from our testing that this issue is limited to the time period extending from July 2008 through the present as a result of implementing Accela software in July 2008 and that it does not extend to earlier accounting periods. Effect: The City is currently unable to determine the actual amount of building permit surcharges collected during the year ended June 30, 2009. However, we conclude from our testing that total fee revenue has been properly accounted for in the City's financial statements and that any amount due to or from DOPL is immaterial to the City's financial statements. Recommendations: We recommend that the City determine the actual amount of building permit surcharges collected for the year ended June 30, 2009 and through the present, calculate any under or overpayment, and resolve this issue with DOPL. Going forward, we recommend that the City correct its accounting controls such that building permit fees and surcharges are properly segregated in its accounting system. Further, we recommend that the City update its internal controls over the preparation of quarterly reports and the calculation of amounts to be remitted to DOPL. Management Response: The problem of inconsistent posting of data from this new software to the general ledger was discovered to be data transfer protocols from the cash register system and Accela when handling negative adjustments. After discussions between Community and Economic Development, Information Management and Finance and then subsequent inquiries of representatives from the software company, a solution was developed and tested. The "fix" was implemented in the live production environment on December 14, 2009. Two employees, one from Finance and one from Community and Economic Development are reviewing the daily postings to the general ledger. Finance has completed its analysis of data from software implementation date to present and determined that the City overpaid the State $279.63 for fiscal 2009. Finally, a supervisory person will be calculating the quarterly payment and either Community and Economic Development or Finance will contact DOPL to resolve this issue. Current Year Status: The City has now implemented a procedure to reconcile its DOPL quarterly reports to its accounting system,IFAS. This previous compliance finding is not an issue in the current year. H B M HANSEN,BARNETT&MAXWELL,P.C. Certified Public Accountants December 21, 2010 Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council Salt Lake City Corporation We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, the aggregate discretely presented component units, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of Salt Lake City Corporation (the City) for the year ended June 30, 2010. Professional standards require that we provide you with information about our responsibilities under generally accepted auditing standards, Government Auditing Standards, and OMB Circular A-133, as well as certain information related to the planned scope and timing of our audit. We have communicated such information in our letter to you dated September 20, 2010. Professional standards also require that we communicate to you the following information related to our audit. Qualitative Aspects of Accounting Practices Management is responsible for the selection and use of appropriate accounting policies. The significant accounting policies used by the City are described in Note 1 to the financial statements. No new accounting policies were adopted and the application of existing policies was not changed during 2010. We noted no transactions entered into by the governmental unit during the year for which there is a lack of authoritative guidance or consensus. All significant transactions have been recognized in the financial statements in the proper period. Accounting estimates are an integral part of the financial statements prepared by management and are based on management's knowledge and experience about past and current events and assumptions about future events. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to the financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting them may differ significantly from those expected. The most sensitive estimates affecting the City's financial statements were as follows: • Useful lives of capital assets used to calculate depreciation expense • Fair value of the City's investments • Collectability of accounts receivable used to estimate the allowance for doubtful accounts • Valuation of Other Post Employment Benefits • Valuation of Environmental Remediation Liability We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop these estimates in determining that they are reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole. Certain financial statement disclosures are particularly sensitive because of their significance to financial statement users. The most sensitive disclosures affecting the financial statements are the disclosures of �e 5 Tnad Center,Sulte 750.Salt Lake City.Utah 841B0-1 128 BAKER T l L LY Registered with the Public Company INTERNATIONAL Accounting Oversight Board TEL 801-532-2200 FAX 801-532.7444 vom.hbrrtCpgS.Com ADDING VALUE I NOT COMPLEXITY HANSEN,BARNETT&MAXWELL,P.C. Page 2 Long-Term Obligations and Other Post Employment Benefits in Notes 6 and 13, respectively, to the financial statements. Difficulties Encountered in Performing the Audit We encountered no significant difficulties in dealing with management in performing and completing our audit. Corrected and Uncorrected Misstatements Professional standards require us to accumulate all known and likely misstatements identified during the audit, other than those that are trivial, and communicate them to the appropriate level of management. Management has corrected all such misstatements. Professional standards also require us to accumulate all material, corrected misstatements that were brought to the attention of management as a result of audit procedures. We are pleased to report there were no material adjustments needed during the course of our audit. Disagreements with Management For purposes of this letter, professional standards define a disagreement with management as a financial accounting, reporting, or auditing matter, whether or not resolved to our satisfaction, that could be significant to the financial statements or the auditor's report. We are pleased to report that no such disagreements arose during the course of our audit. Management Representations We have requested certain representations from management that are included in the management representation letter dated December 21,2010. Management Consultations with Other Independent Accountants In some cases, management may decide to consult with other accountants about auditing and accounting matters, similar to obtaining a "second opinion" on certain situations. If a consultation involves application of an accounting principle to the governmental unit's fmancial statements or a determination of the type of auditor's opinion that may be expressed on those statements, our professional standards require the consulting accountant to check with us to determine that the consultant has all the relevant facts.To our knowledge,there were no such consultations with other accountants. Other Audit Findings or Issues We generally discuss a variety of matters, including the application of accounting principles and auditing standards, with management each year prior to retention as the governmental unit's auditors. However, these discussions occurred in the normal course of our professional relationship and our responses were not a condition to our retention. Conclusion This information is intended solely for the use of the Mayor and Members of the City Council and management of the City and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.

Certified Public Accountants INDEPENDENT AUDITORS'REPORT ON COMPLIANCE WITH REQUIREMENTS THAT COULD HAVE A DIRECT AND MATERIAL EFFECT ON EACH MAJOR PROGRAM AND ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE IN ACCORDANCE WITH CIRCULAR A-133 The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council Salt Lake City Corporation Compliance We have audited the compliance of Salt Lake City Corporation(the City)with the types of compliance requirements described in the OMB Circular A-I33 Compliance Supplement,that could have a direct and material effect on each of the City's major programs for the year ended June 30,2010. The City's major federal programs are identified in the summary of audit results section of the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs. Compliance with the requirements of laws, regulations, contracts and grants applicable to its major federal programs is the responsibility of management of the City. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the compliance of the City based on our audit. We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America;the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and OMB Circular A-133. Those standards and OMB Circular A-133 require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether noncompliance with the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on a major federal program occurred.An audit includes examining, on a test basis,evidence about the City's compliance with those requirements and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.Our audit does not provide a legal determination on compliance of the City with those requirements. In our opinion,the City complied,in all material respects,with the compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on each of its major federal programs for the year ended June 30,2010. Internal Control Over Compliance The management of the City is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over compliance with the requirements of laws, regulations, contracts, and grants applicable to federal programs. In planning and performing our audit, we considered the City's internal control over compliance with requirements that could have a direct and material effect on a major federal program to '� "'""°"`" "" Registered,rirh the Public Company 5 Trod Center,Slate 750,Salt Lake City.Utah 84180-1128 BAKR AT ONA AcroaourR aersi ht Board TEL 801-532-2200 FAX 801.532-7944 weee.hbmclas.corn INTERNATIONAL R ADDING VALUE NOT COMPLEXITY 3 determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on compliance and to test and report on internal control over compliance in accordance with OMB Circular A-133,but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over compliance.Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the City's internal control over compliance. A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees,in the normal course of performing their assigned functions,to prevent, or detect and correct,noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program on a timely basis.A material weakness in internal control over compliance is a deficiency,or combination of deficiencies,in internal control over compliance,such that there is a reasonable possibility that material noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program will not be prevented, or detected and corrected,on a timely basis. Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and would not necessarily identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be deficiencies,significant deficiencies,or material weaknesses.We did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses,as defined above. Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities,the business-type activities,and discretely presented component unit,each major fund,and the aggregate remaining fund information of Salt Lake City Corporation as of and for the year ended June 30,2010,and have issued our report thereon dated December 21, 2010. Our audit was performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements that collectively comprise the basic financial statements of Salt Lake City Corporation.The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards is presented for purposes of additional analysis as required by OMB Circular A-133 and is not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and,in our opinion,is fairly stated,in all material respects,in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

FINDINGS AND QUESTIONED COSTS FOR FEDERAL AWARDS No findings to report. D.PRIOR YEAR FINDINGS—FINANCIAL STATEMENT AUDIT 09-1 Capitalization of Assets 10 Criteria: The City's capital asset policy states that all purchases over $3,500 should be capitalized. Additionally, the City capitalizes bulk purchases of assets which individually fall under this threshold, but which have a combined value over the threshold. Condition: The golf department purchased a fleet of golf carts which had an individual unit price of$3,223 for a total cost of$1,567,878. The golf carts were not capitalized causing assets to be understated by $1,567,878. Cause: Because each golf cart individually fell below the City's capitalization threshold the golf cart additions were incorrectly expensed. Recommendation: We recommend that the City insure that all bulk purchases are reviewed to insure that they are properly capitalized. Effect: Assets were understated by$1,567,878. Status: This is not a current year finding. 09-2 Capital Improvements Criteria: The City's policy is to not capitalize improvements made to assets that do not significantly extend the estimated useful life of the assets. Condition: The City originally capitalized two roof projects on City buildings, contrary to the City's capitalization policy. When these items were selected for testing, the City recognized the error of capitalizing these amounts and has subsequently prepared an adjusting entry to correct the misstatement. Cause: Failure to comply with policy and failure to review WIP additions for appropriateness. Recommendation: We recommend that the City review additions to verify compliance with the fixed asset policy. Effect: Assets were overstated by$545,723. Status: This is not a current year finding. 09-3 Airport Improvement Program Criteria: It is the Airport's policy that Airport Improvement Program (ALP) expenditures, revenue and receivables are recorded on an accrual basis in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Statement of Condition: The Airport records allowable AIP expenditures on an accrual basis which are reported on the Schedule of Federal Expenditures as the reimbursement for those expenditures is submitted to the Federal Aviation Administration. At June 30, 2009, the Airport had incurred allowable AlP expenditures that had not been identified as such and had recorded the related revenue and receivables for the qualifying expenditures in the incorrect fiscal year. Therefore, the amount reported on the Schedule of Federal Expenditures was understated as of June 30, 2009. Cause: Controls were not sufficient,to prevent or detect the error. 11 Recommendation: We recommend that the Airport take additional measures to ensure that amounts to be reported on the Schedule of Federal Expenditures are recorded in the proper period. Effect: If this type of error goes undetected, expenditures reported on the Schedule of Federal Expenditures could be under-stated or over-stated each year, but ultimately all expenditures would be reported through the life of the multi-year grant. Status: This is not a current year finding. D. PRIOR YEAR FINDINGS AND QUESTIONED COSTS FOR FEDERAL AWARDS No findings were reported in the prior year. 12 o Do not exempt taxicabs modified to meet age and mileage standards,and let requirements for the kinds of vehicles serving the disabled community be worked out in the request for proposals. (Department of Airports suggestion; also suggested by Ray Mundy in a January 17 electronic mail.) CODIFY SOME VEHICLE STANDARDS Include requiring State of Utah Vehicle Safety Standard and minimum interior and exterior appearance standards in ordinance for evaluating buses,minibuses, special transportation vehicles and limousines. The minimum standards would be in addition to any rules and regulations the Department of Airports may set administratively.However,the minimum standards and rules and regulations would not conflict with each other.(City Council staff suggestion) SPECIALTY VEHICLES EXEMPTIONS o Allow automatic exemptions from age,mileage and salvage title restrictions for specialty vehicles such as classic cars and seasonal vehicles modified as four-wheel-drive vehicles to transport people to ski resorts. (City Council staff suggestion) o Keep the current ordinance as is to require an application for an exemption that would be determined on a case-by-case basis. (Department of Airports suggestion) OMIT AUTOMATIC SEVEN-YEAR OPERATIONAL ALLOWANCE Omit the paragraph that says,"Ground transportation vehicle that have been modified to meet ADA requirements may be operated for a total of seven years."(City Council staff suggestion)The paragraph could be omitted only if the City Council exempts all taxicabs modified to meet ADA standards from age and mileage limitations. POTENTIAL AMENDMENTS TO CHAPTER 5.71 MILEAGE LIMIT PHASE-IN o Allow a six-month phase-in period to comply with requirement to operate vehicles driven less than 350,000 miles. (Suggested by Department of Airports) o Allow phase-in period to mirror vehicle age requirements in ordinance: one-year to have 75 percent of a company's fleet to have vehicles driven less than 350,000 miles, and two years to have 100 percent of a company's fleet to have vehicles driven less than 350,000 miles. (Suggested by Express Shuttle) o Allow phase-in period to replace vehicles with salvage titles to mirror vehicle age requirements in ordinance. (Suggested by Express Shuttle) AUTOMATIC SEVENTH YEAR OF OPERATION o Allow an automatic seventh year of operation for ground transportation vehicles if vehicles have been driven less than 350,000 miles(City Council staff suggestion) o Retain current ordinance requiring application to Department of Airports for seventh year of operation and include re-inspecting the vehicle as part of the application. (Department of Airports suggestion) ADD AGE AND MILEAGE EXEMPTION FOR TAXICABS o Exempt taxicabs modified to meet Americans with Disabilities Act standards from age and mileage standards—would put modified taxicabs in same category as buses,mini- buses, special transportation vehicles,and limousines.(City Council staff suggestion; would still require application by company on a case-by-case basis;possibly would allow repeal of paragraph allowing all ground transportation vehicles modified to mee .ADA,k �) standards to operate a total of seven years.) ; l l,' -.' t ` .I. o Exempt only taxicabs modified to carry motorized mobility unitsluch Amotorized wheelchairs or scooters from age and mileage standards—would put modified taxicabs in same category as buses,mini-buses, special transportation vehicles, and limousines. (City Council staff suggestion);would still require application by company on a case-by-case basis;probably would require retaining paragraph allowing all ground transportation vehicles modified to meet ADA standards to operate a total of seven years.)

In other words, the accessible vehicle takes in no additional revenue unless it is used in contract services, whereby a more equitable rate can be negotiated. The accessible vehicle used to serve wheelchair users typically brings in less money than the regular trips provided by sedan taxicab vehicles. The driver must engage the lift or ramp operation for boarding, then secure the passenger and wheelchair, then disengage the lift or ramp, and upon arriving at the destination, the driver must reengage the lift or ramp, release the securements, assist the passenger in disembarking, and disengage the lift or ramp. All these actions require a significant amount of the driver's time. As stated by TLPA's Alfred LaGasse, "These time costs result in approximately 20% fewer trips per day for a wheelchair accessible taxicab. The driver's income gets affected as an effect of time costs, thus producing driver resistance to service such trips. In effect, every unsubsidized accessible trip taken by a taxicab driver results in some revenue lost by the driver and the related taxicab company. When all these amounts are multiplied on a large scale, the effect is a loss of thousands of dollars per year. So, the more unsubsidized wheelchair accessible taxicab service the taxicab industry provides, the greater the losses will be." ADA Requirements for the Taxicab Industry While "automotive body type" taxicabs are exempt, the following are requirements by the Americans with Disabilities Act for ADA compliant vehicles if utilized by taxi companies. These requirements are based on the publication, The Americans with Disabilities Act and You: Frequently Asked Questions on Taxicab Service, presented by Easter Seals Project ACTION and the Taxicab, Limousine & Paratransit Association: • For vehicles in excess of twenty-two feet in length, the overhead clearance between the top of the door opening and the raised lift platform, or highest point of a ramp, shall be a minimum of 68 inches. • For vehicles of twenty-two feet in length or less, the overhead clearance between the top of the door opening and the raised lift platform, and the highest point of a ramp, shall be a minimum of 56 inches. • Accessible taxicabs must have a two-part securement system: (1) to secure the common wheelchair, and (2) a seatbelt and shoulder harness for the customer using a wheelchair. The securement aids should move no more than 2 inches in any direction during normal driving operations. If the vehicle is more than 22 feet in length, then the vehicle must have securement devices for two wheelchairs. • • • There must be enough room inside the vehicle so the customer using a mobility aide can reach the securement location. • Side-facing securement is not permitted in vehicles 22 feet or less in length. • Lift or ramp must be 30 inches minimum and hold a capacity of at least 600 lbs. • Lift or ramp surfaces, securement locations, and all places where people walk must have continuous and slip-resistant surfaces. • Ramp slope shall not exceed 1:4 when deployed to ground level. • There shall be a minimum of 30 inches by 48 inches for a floor clearance area. • Vehicles 22 feet in length or less must have only forward or rear seating only. • Ramp stowage should be safe and non-hazardous to people. The categories of ADA complementary paratransit eligibility mentioned by the ADA are related to the nature of the disability of the person and his or her ability to access the fixed routes transportation system. These following categories are utilized to help analyze the public necessity for accessible taxicabs. Category 1: "Any individual with a disability who is unable, as the result of a physical or mental impairment (including a vision impairment), and without the assistance of another individual (except the operator of a wheelchair lift or other boarding assistance device), to board, ride, or disembark from any vehicle on the system which is readily accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities."[37.123(e) (1)J This category refers to persons who are totally unable to navigate through the public transportation system because of mental or visual impairment (inability to board the right bus for example), physical disability (inability to stand up in a crowd for instance), and/or wheelchair users that cannot board because of the absence of a lift. Category 2: "Any individual with a disability who needs the assistance of a wheelchair lift or other boarding assistance device and is able, with such assistance, to board, ride, and disembark from any vehicle which is readily accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities if the individual wants to travel on a route of the system during the hours of operation of the system at a time, or within a reasonable period of such time, when such a vehicle is not being used to provide designated public transportation on the route."[37.123(e)(2)J This category relates -Co people who, despite their disability, are able to use the public transportation system provided that it is equipped with devices to make it accessible to them. The people in this category are therefore eligible if the route they intend to use is not fully accessible, even if some other part of the transportation system is accessible. Category 3: "Any individual with a disability who has a specific impairment-related condition which prevents such individual from traveling to a boarding location or from a disembarking location on such system"[37.123(e) (3)] Two important qualifiers to this category are included in the regulations. First, environmental conditions and architectural barriers not under the control of the public entity do not, when considered alone, confer eligibility. If, however, travel to or from a boarding location is prevented when these factors are combined with the person's specific impairment-related condition, paratransit service must be provided. Examples of architectural and environmental factors that, in combination with certain disabilities, could prevent travel include: a lack of curb-cuts, the distance from the stop/station to the trip origin or destination, steep terrain, snow and/or ice, extremes in temperature (hot or cold), major intersections or other difficult to negotiate architectural barriers, temporary construction projects, and severe air pollution MEMOR AND u DATE: January 13,2011 TO: City Council Members FROM: Russell Weeks RE: Ground Transportation:Proposed Revisions to Salt Lake City Code Chapter 5.71 CC: Cindy Gust-Jenson,David Everitt,Maureen Riley,Ed Rutan,Neil Lindberg,Karen Hale,Lisa Harrison-Smith,Bianca Shreeve,Kay Christensen,Randy Berg,Jennifer Bruno,Marco Kunz,Larry Bowers,John Buckner,Dave Korzep,Frank Young,Quin Card This memorandum pertains to proposed amendments to Salt Lake City Code Chapter 5.71.The proposed revisions are the result of requests made to the City Council by some members of the ground transportation industry in December. The proposed amendments are scheduled for a briefing at the City Council work session January 18.The City Council tentatively is scheduled to determine whether to forward the proposed amendments for formal consideration at later meeting. OPTIONS o Adopt the proposed amendments. o Do not adopt the proposed amendments. o Suggest additional amendments for formal consideration. POTENTIAL MOTIONS City Council staff will prepare motions after the January 18 work session briefing. KEY POINTS If adopted,the proposed amendments would: o Provide a phase-in period to replace ground transportation vehicles that have 350,000 miles or more on their odometers.(This item was requested by some members of the ground transportation industry.) o Remove a potential ambiguity on how long some ground transportation vehicles that have been modified to meet federal Americans with Disabilities Act standards for passengers may operate. o Clarify that the number of years and miles ground transportation vehicles that have been modified to meet federal Americans with Disabilities Act standards for passengers can operate within Salt Lake City are conditioned upon meeting Utah vehicle safety standards and vehicle interior and exterior standards. 1 o Include taxicabs modified to meet federal Americans with Disabilities Act standards for passengers with other vehicles that receive mileage and age exemptions in Salt Lake City Code Chapter 5.71 —provided that they meet Utah vehicle safety standards and vehicle interior and exterior standards. ISSUES/QUESTIONS FOR CONSIDERATION o City Council staff understands that that an appeals committee has been formed by the Department of Airports to addresses issues involving enforcing ordinances and businesses that are subject to enforcement. o The City Council may wish to inquire about progress the Administration has made to form the informal discussion group established in the ordinance. The discussion group is intended to provide a forum for the Administration about issues relating to ground transportation for the next two years. o The City Council may wish to direct recommendations and concerns from those involved in the ground transportation industry to the Administration so ideas can be addressed first by processes established in amendments pertaining to ground transportation adopted in November 2010. BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION This portion of the memorandum is divided into two sections: issues involving mileage limits on ground transportation vehicles and issues involving interior and exterior standards for ground transportation vehicles. MILEAGE LIMITS In December,the owners and drivers of some ground transportation company owners and drivers asked the City Council to delay implementation of the December 3 effective date to retire vehicles with more than 350,000 miles in their fleets. Part of Salt Lake City Code Chapter 5.71 —5.71.120—limits the operation of ground transportation vehicles that carry passengers in Salt Lake City to vehicles that are no older than six model years in age and have less than 350,000 miles of accumulated mileage. However,the section allows vehicles to operate for a seventh model year if the vehicle has less than 350,000 miles"so long as the vehicle meets or exceeds inspection requirements"set forth in Chapter 5.71.Vehicles with salvage titles are prohibited from operating as of the December 3 effective date of the ordinance. However, Section 5.71.120 exempts—on a case by case basis by the department charged with enforcing the ordinance—the following vehicles from age and mileage restrictions: buses, mini-buses, special transportation vehicles and limousines. It should be noted that special transportation vehicles are vehicles that are designed, equipped and used for the transportation of people with disabilities. Special transportation vehicles generally are considered to be vehicles that fall in size between ambulances and taxicabs, although the markets for ambulances, special transportation vehicles, and taxicabs sometimes overlap, and companies that operate 1 special transportation vehicles and ambulances still must obtain certificates of public convenience and 2 necessity under Salt Lake City Code Chapter 5.76. It should be noted that ambulances, as well as vehicles licensed by a governmental agency or operated by university or school district,or the Utah Transit Authority, are exempt from City Code Chapter 5.71. When the City Council adopted the mileage amendments as part of revisions to Chapter 5.71, it did so based on information from City Council consultant Ray Mundy and the practices of other cities. Mr. Mundy wrote in September that extending a vehicle the age limit to six model years would permit a taxicab fleet owner to purchase new or rental fleet vehicles in the current model year, run them for three years, redo the drive train and interior if needed, and run them for another two or three years before they reached a 300,000 mile limit. Taxicabs typically travel between 40,000 and 50,000 miles per year so the extra year will permit companies to keep vehicl costs as low as possible before a vehicle becomes more expensive to maintain than the cost of new acquisition. This also permits the taxi company to offer a lower lease rate to drivers.' During the City Council's discussion of the age and mileage of vehicles,the City Council settled on a 350,000 mile limit and a seventh year of operation if a vehicle's mileage was below 350,000 and met or exceeded inspection requirements. • Here are some vehicle age requirements of other cities listed in the study for the Los Angeles Department of Transportation: • Anaheim—Vehicles may not be older than five model years. • Austin—Vehicles may not be older than eight model years,and they can only be six years old if they already are on line for use in years seven and eight. In other words, new or newer cars can only operate until they are six years old. • Chicago—A regular sedan must be four years old. For an owner operator, it is allowed to be five years old.Wheelchair-accessible vehicles or alternative fuel vehicles are allowed to be eight years old. • Denver—Vehicles must not be older than 10 years old. • • Houston—Vehicles may not be more than six years old. • San Diego—There is no age limit,but to receive an airport permit, a vehicle cannot be more than seven model years old. • Seattle—Vehicles must be no more than seven model years old at the date of licensing.2 Owners of some ground transportation businesses asked the City Council during public comments on December 7 and December 14 to delay implementing the 350,000-mile limit for ground transportation businesses. The majority of comments at the December 14 meeting involved requesting the Council to give the companies the same two-year latitude to meet the mileage limit as the ordinance gives to companies to meet the age limit. Section 5.71.120 gives ground transportation companies one year from the December 3 effective date of the ordinance to have 75 percent of their vehicles to meet the six-year age limit. It gives ground transportation companies two years to have 100 percent of their vehicles to meet the six-year age limit. Here is the full section: 5.71.120: VEHICLE AGE AND CONDITION: A.No vehicle shall be authorized by the City to operate as a ground transportation vehicle that is more than six(6)model years in age,has a salvage title,or has accumulated three hundred fifty thousand (350,000)miles or more. The following exemptions to the foregoing limitations may be approved by the department on a case-by-case basis upon application to the department director. 3 1. A ground transportation vehicle that is more than six(6)model years in age,but has accumulated less than three hundred fifty thousand(350,000)miles may be operated for a total of seven(7) model years so long as the vehicle meets or exceeds inspection requirements set forth in Section 5.71.150 of this chapter and has not accumulated three hundred fifty thousand(350,000)miles or more. 2.Busses,mini-busses,special transportation vehicles,and limousines may be exempted from these age and mileage restrictions,but not from the salvage title restriction. 3. Specialty vehicles may be exempted from these age,mileage,and salvage restrictions. 4. Ground transportation vehicles that have been modified to meet ADA requirements may be operated for a total of seven(7)years. B. Seventy five percent(75%)of a business's ground transportation vehicles shall meet this vehicle age restriction within twelve(12)months after the effective date of this ordinance. C.One hundred percent(100%)of a business's ground transportation vehicles shall meet this age restriction within twenty-four(24)months after the effective date of this ordinance. D.One hundred percent(100%)of a business's ground transportation vehicles shall meet these mileage and salvage title restrictions upon the effective date of this ordinance. E.No new vehicle shall be approved as a ground transportation vehicle that does not meet these restrictions. EXPRESS SHUTTLE PROPOSAL Randy Curtis, owner of the ground transportation company Express Shuttle,has suggested the following amendments to the Section 5.71.120: • Amend Paragraph B to read: "Seventy five percent(75%)of a business's ground transportation vehicles shall meet these vehicle age and mileage and salvage title restrictions within twelve(12)months after the effective date of this ordinance." • Amend Paragraph C to read: "One hundred percent(100%)of a business's ground transportation vehicles shall meet these age and mileage and salvage title restrictions within twenty-four(24)months after the effective date of this ordinance." • Eliminate Paragraph D,which reads: "One hundred percent(100%)of a business's ground transportation vehicles shall meet these mileage and salvage title restrictions upon the effective date of this ordinance." CITY COUNCIL STAFF PROPOSAL In the proposal attached to this memorandum the City Council staff has suggested the following amendments to Section 5.71.120: o Amend Paragraph A to remove the requirement that that a ground transportation vehicle owner must apply to the department director to operate a vehicle for a seventh year—if it has been driven less than 350,000 miles and"meets or exceeds inspection requirements (vehicle) inspection requirements"in another section of Chapter 5.71. o Continue to require in a new paragraph that exemptions to age and mileage restrictions in • Paragraph A for buses,mini-buses, special transportation vehicles and limousines be reviewed on a case-by-case basis after a vehicle owner applies to the department director for the exemption. o Amend the new paragraph to include"any taxicab which has been modified to meet Americans with Disabilities Act standards"as a vehicle that could be exempted from age and mileage restrictions in Paragraph A on a case-by-case basis after a vehicle owner applies to the department director for the exemption. 4 11 o Amend the new paragraph to include state vehicle safety standards and exterior and interior appearance standards in City ordinance as well as department rules and regulations as criteria for evaluating whether a taxicab modified to meet ADA standards or buses, mini-buses, special transportation vehicles, and limousines might receive an exemption to age and mileage restrictions. o Amend two sections and add a new section to make clear minimum standards for the interior and exterior appearance of ground transportation vehicles. o Allow"specialty vehicles"—vehicles such as classic automobiles or seasonal vehicles such as vans modified to operate as four-wheel-drive units for transportation to ski resorts to receive automatic exemptions if the vehicles meet state vehicle safety standards required for exemptions for buses,mini-buses, special transportation vehicles, and taxicabs modified to meet ADA standards. o Eliminate section No.4 of the current ordinance's Paragraph B which reads: "Ground • transportation vehicles that that been modified to meet ADA requirements may be operated for a total of seven(7)years. o Amend the current ordinance's Paragraph B to read: "Seventy five percent (75%)of a business's ground transportation vehicles shall meet these vehicle age and mileage restrictions within twelve(12)months after the effective date of this ordinance." o Amend the current ordinance's Paragraph C to read: "One hundred percent(100%) of a business's ground transportation vehicles shall meet these age and mileage restrictions within twenty-four(24)months after the effective date of this ordinance." o Add a new paragraph that would read: "One hundred percent(100%)of a business's ground transportation vehicles shall meet the salvage title restrictions upon the effective date of this ordinance(December 3, 2010). DISCUSSION It should be noted that all reasons given in this section must be balanced against what kind of customer service the City Council expects the ground transportation industry to provide. The City Council staff proposal would address a phase-in period to replace vehicles that have been driven more than 350,000 miles as requested by the ground transportation company owners and drivers at the December City Council meetings.However, it would not include the phase-in period to replace salvage vehicles suggested in the Express Shuttle proposal. The amendment to Paragraph A to remove the requirement that operators of ground transportation vehicles that have been driven less than 350,000 must apply to the department director to drive the vehicle a seventh year is open to City Council discussion. It should be noted that the department probably would have to inspect a vehicle to determine if it"meets or exceeds inspection requirements (vehicle)inspection requirements"even if a seventh year was granted automatically.The question for the City Council,then,might be:Is applying to the department for an exemption for a seventh year easy or onerous? Council staff has suggested adding taxicabs modified to meet ADA standards to the list of vehicles that might receive exemptions from age and mileage restrictions for the two reasons. First, estimates by taxicab company owners and an owner of a special transportation vehicle either to purchase taxicabs modified to meet ADA standards or to replace special transportation vehicles seem to be roughly the same—about$40,000. Second, under the current ordinance special transportation vehicles already may be exempted from age and mileage requirements upon application to the Department of Airports. Given the goal of a level playing field for all ground transportation companies, including taxicabs 5 modified to meet ADA standards might be consistent with that goal.It might be noted that staff research indicates that prices for ADA accessible vehicles appear to range from about$25,000 to$60,000. In concert with the proposal above,Council staff has suggested language to include state vehicle safety standards and exterior and interior appearance standards in City ordinance as well as department rules and regulations for all ground transportation vehicles.The language would make clear the minimum standards for the interiors and exteriors of ground transportation vehicles.Rules and regulations adopted by the department charged with regulating ground transportation in the City could not conflict with the minimum standards. The suggestion to allow"specialty vehicles"such as classic automobiles or seasonal vehicles • such as vans modified to operate as four-wheel-drive units for transportation to ski resorts to receive automatic exemptions as long as they meet state safety standards is aimed more at classic automobiles than at other vehicles.Even classic automobiles in mint condition probably would exceed a six-year age limit.They might exceed the 350,000-mile mileage limit,and classic automobiles might be restored or reconditioned vehicles found in scrap yards or other places where vehicles are left.Again,it probably would be necessary for the City to inspect the vehicles to see if they met state safety standards. The City Council staff proposal does not include vehicles with salvage titles for any phased-in replacement period because it is staffs opinion that vehicles with salvage titles pose safety and insurance liability concerns. DEPARTMENT OF AIRPORTS PROPOSAL III In reviewing the City Council staff proposal,the Department of Airports has suggested the following: • In Paragraph A,continue to require that a ground transportation vehicle owner apply to the department director to operate a vehicle for a seventh year—if it has been driven less than 350,000 miles and"meets or exceeds inspection requirements(vehicle)inspection requirements."The department suggests the vehicle be re-inspected by the department to see if it meets or exceeds inspection requirements. • Do not include taxicabs modified to meet Americans with Disabilities Act standards among vehicles eligible to be considered for exemptions by the department on a case-by- case basis. • Do not allow automatic exemptions for specialty vehicles such as classic such as classic automobiles or seasonal vehicles such as vans modified to operate as four-wheel-drive units for transportation to ski resorts and require the vehicles to meet City appearance standards as well as state safety standards. • Retain the 24-month phase-in period for vehicle age restrictions but require ground transportation businesses to meet the mileage restrictions within six months of the December 3,2010,effective date of the ordinance. DISCUSSION bIn electronic mail and a brief telephone discussion,the Department of Airports gave the following reasons for its suggestions: 6 From a safety and service perspective it would be preferable to give no extensions for mileage requirements. High mileage vehicles are the most likely to have problems that could arise without warning and compromise the safety and convenience of the travelling public. However, if there is an interest in extending the time for companies to comply with the mileage requirement,a six-month window from the December 3, 2010, effective date might be better. The six- month window would give ground transportation companies the winter to comply with the ordinance, and the department could issue a request for proposals for taxicab services with all ground transportation vehicles meeting the higher standard for age and mileage. Exempting taxicabs modified to meet ADA standards from age and mileage restrictions might be better handled through the request for proposals and subsequent contracts instead of through ordinance. No exemption should be automatic, and no ground transportation vehicle should be exempt from appearance standards. It should be noted that appearance standards for vehicle interiors and exteriors have been part of Chapter 5.71 since 1999 and have been unchanged since then. City Council staff understands that an appeals committee has been formed by the Department of Airports to addresses issues between enforcing the ordinance and businesses that are subject to enforcement. The City Council may wish to inquire about progress the Administration has made to form the informal discussion group established in the ordinance. The discussion group is intended to provide a forum for the Administration about issues relating to ground transportation for the next two years.

State Street Salt Lake City,Utah 84111 Re: FOIA Request for CRSA Architectural Report Dear Councilwomen Love, On Wednesday,February 23, 2011 —the Poplar Grove Community Council held its monthly meeting in which we received a report from Councilman Turner on the progress of the Glendale library selection. It was brought to our attention by members of the community council that the selection process may contain some deficiency. We request that the City Council allow the release of the CRSA Architectural report as it pertains to the 900 South property, designated as letter L in the site map attached to the January 27,2011 briefing report by Russell Weeks. It appears that that out of 12 locations under consideration,the Glendale Library Steering Committee narrowed the potential site for a branch library down to two locations. We are receiving reports that the 900 S. location was not properly vetted.We ask that the Council rectify that situation and allow the selection committee to thoroughly explore the 900 S. site, allow the CRSA Architectural report to be open for inspection and allow stake holders in the potentially new service area to participate in this selection process.

Date White-Patron's Copy Yellow-Golf Division Copy Pink-Attorney's Copy • SALT LAKE CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT BUDGET AMENDMENT#3-FISCAL YEAR 2010-11 DATE: January 18,2011 SUBJECT: Budget Amendment#3 STAFF REPORT BY: Sylvia Richards,Lehua Weaver,Karen Halladay and Jennifer Bruno CC: David Everitt,Gina Chamness,Gordon Hoskins,Frank Gray,LuAnn Clark,Chief Chris Burbank,Chief Kurt Cook,Rick Graham,Kay Christensen,Shannon Ashby,and Sherrie Collins Budget Amendment Number Three contains 33 proposed adjustments,as suggested by the Administration. The amendment recommends using fund balance for ten initiatives for a decrease to fund balance of$1,015,031. Of this amount,the Administration anticipates that$254,260 will be reimbursed back to the City. The Council requests a current-year revenue forecast with each budget amendment. The Administration's forecast shows a deficit of approximately$1 million due to property tax judgments settled last year and a decrease in parking ticket issuance and revenue. Sales tax revenue is stable. The decline is due to a decrease in municipal energy taxes. Franchise taxes are lower than anticipated due to a decrease in revenue received from telecommunication companies. The number of commercial and residential permits is higher as compared to last year;however,the value of the permits is significantly lower. Parking meter revenue is higher than anticipated based on the bagging of meters for the downtown area,including the City Creek project. This budget amendment includes the addition of 4 general fund positions,and 1.5 grant-funded positions. From a policy perspective the Council generally avoids adding positions mid-year. The need for these positions may be an indicator that the budget cuts made over the past two years are not allowing the City to continue operating at the desired level. In an effort to make the review of the budget openings more expedient,the Administration has attempted to categorize budget opening items as follows: A. "New"-those items that are new issues. B. "Grant requiring existing staff resources"--those grants that will require the City's existing staff to complete a specific project. (Employees involved with these projects may have less time to focus on other projects within the scope of their work.) C. "Grant requiring additional staff resources"-those grants that provide additional staff positions and require a City match. These generally have policy Page 1 implications because they may add a new service or create an expectation that the City will fund the position after the grant has expired. D. "Housekeeping"--those items classified by the Administration as strictly accounting actions that do not have policy implications. E. "Grants requiring No New Staff Resources"-those grants that provide funding for costs that are not associated with positions. F. "Donation"--those items that are donations that require Council appropriation to be used,are consistent with previous Council discussions,or do not have policy implications. G. "Council Consent Agenda-Grant Awards"-These items have been previously approved on the Council's Consent Agenda. H. "Follow-up on Previously Approved Items"-those items that were approved in a previous budget amendment but require some additional adjustments. I. "Council Added"-items which have been added by the City Council. 0 MATTERS AT ISSUE The Administration classified the following as: New Items: A-1: Request to expand driving range at Rose Park Golf Course($425,000-Source: 11 Ooif Enterprise Fund) In September of 2010,the Salt Lake City Golf Fund sold 3.01 acres of Rose Park Golf Course land for the Guadalupe Center Education program. The sales proceeds less associated sales costs were$422,782. The Golf Fund plans to use the sales proceeds to expand the driving range. With the addition of the recent property purchase mentioned above,the Rose Park Course would be able to expand the course's driving range. The proposed expansion would extend the driving range to 350 yards and provide a practice tee approximately 125 yards wide by 50 yards deep. This budget amendment would establish the revenue budget of$425,000 for the Guadalupe Center Education Program sales proceeds. In addition,this amendment also establishes the expenditure budget of$425,000 to be used for the Rose Park Golf Course improvements of$422,782 and to cover sales costs of$2,218. Does the Council wish to ask the Administration about the status of the property re-zone-from R-1- 7000(Single Family Residential)to Open Space? Related Information In the Fall of 2009,the Council approved a budget amendment for $800,000. This is a subsidy of the Golf Fund with the General Fund's Surplus Land Account. With the funds the Golf Fund was able to purchase 2.64 acres adjacent to the Rose Park Golf Course driving range. The property purchases of$695,380 were finalized during the summer of 2010.The final purchase price,including associated costs,was $104,620 less than anticipated. According to the Administration,the excess budget will be returned to the Surplus Land Account. Page 2 A-2: Request to establish budgets for cost of utilities at Sorenson Center ($104,260 - Source: fund balance of the City's General Fund -- to be reimbursed by Salt Lake County) The Council will recall that Salt Lake County took over the operation and management of the Sorenson Center last year, and that the City still owns the property. The Administration indicates that the Sorenson Center site is included in the City's energy performance contract. As a result, the City tracks the utility costs (including water, electricity and gas) and bills Salt Lake County for the cost of utilities and the associated debt service the City incurs during the energy performance contract lease. The County benefits from the lower utility costs while the City benefits from new equipment on its property. This request will create expense and revenue budgets to cover initial payment of utility costs and reimbursement from the County. A-3: Request for dog park fence at Rotary Glen Park ($14,000- Source:fund balance of the City's General Fund) The Administration has requested that this item be held open for a later date and not be addressed at this time. The Administration will come back with additional information. A-4: Request for New FTE - Street Cars Project Manager position - to manage Streetcar projects ($52,500 for 6 months; $126,500 annually- Source:fund balance of the City's General Fund) The Administration is requesting to add a Street Cars Project Manager position in Community and Economic Development, to manage the Sugar House Streetcar project, including coordinating with various City departments and outside entities, and to manage potential future street car projects. Salt Lake City received a $26 million federal grant for the Sugar House line. Design and construction for the line is expected to be on a rapid schedule (18 months) and current staffing levels do not allow for a full-time streetcar project manager, nor have they allowed for a full-time staff person to identify and finalize gap funding for the line. The Administration is proposing to add this position to the overall staffing document, because the City will be pursuing additional streetcar lines Downtown. Note: Funding is not yet secure for additional streetcar lines, although the Administration indicates that it will continue to pursue federal funds. The Council may wish to ask the Administration to further define the responsibilities of this position - will the position handle planning/zoning issues adjacent to the line, design and engineering of the line only, or will it have an instrumental role in funding and partnership opportunities. A-5: Request to fund costs of outside counsel associated with Regional Athletic Complex/Jordan River litigation ($25,000 - Source:fund balance of the City's General Fund) The Administration is requesting additional funds to secure outside assistance in handling the various lawsuits that the Jordan River Restoration Network (JRRN) has pending against the City. There are various lawsuits that are currently in progress, and the JRRN has indicated publicly it will pursue additional lawsuits. The lawsuits have been handled so far by the Attorney's Office, but the slow progress of the current lawsuits, and potential for future lawsuits has made it necessary for the Attorney's Office to secure supplemental resources. Page 3 A-6: Request to fund Bike Share Pilot Program($25,000-Source:fund balance of the City's General Fund) The Administration has requested$25,000 towards the creation of an approximately $100,000 bike sharing pilot program which will make 40-50 bikes available to rent in the downtown area. If approved these funds would be used to match private sponsor donations. According to Transportation,the bikes will have multiple gears and the capacity to carry an additional fifty pounds of weight in the front basket. Users would pay with a key card or credit card at a solar-powered kiosk and return the bike after use to the same, or a different kiosk. Kiosks and bikes would be leased by the City from a bike sharing vendor during the pilot program. Kiosk locations would be determined by the vendor,the Transportation Division and the Downtown Alliance. The Administration indicates the cost to rent a bike will depend on usage. Some bike Lsharing programs offer a thirty minute to one hour grace period in which the users are not charged. After the grace period,rental costs are determined by a sliding scale based on the amount of time the bike is rented. An annual rental fee might range from$75 to$100, with monthly and daily rental rates also available. As indicated in the transmittal,user fees typically fund a portion of operating costs,while the investment of bikes and kiosks is typically made using public dollars. The Council may wish to note that some public funding may be necessary to support operation costs. Depending on demand and use of the pilot program,the Administration indicates that expanded sponsorships,advertising and grants may be pursued to fund the future purchase of bikes. The transmittal indicates a tentative`build-out'for bike sharing in the future of approximately 500 bikes at$3,500 to$4,500 per bike for a total cost of$2 million. Assuming user fees defray a portion of costs,annual operating costs are approximately$1,000 per bike,with a total cost of$500,000 for the program. Questions for Consideration: o The Council may wish to ask about other sponsorship contacts or grants the Administration may be pursuing. o The Council may wish to ask about the day-to-day management of the program, asset maintenance,and budget tracking. o The Council may wish to ask about the timeline for the program-if the initial funding is approved,what is the projected timeframe to have bikes ready to rent, and what is the anticipated length of the pilot program? A-7: Request for New FTE-Civil Enforcement Secretary-to assist with new duties of Civil Enforcement (1.0 FTE; $27,000 for 6 months; $54,000 annually - Source: fund balance of the City's General Fund) The Administration is requesting a new FTE for a secretary position to support the Civil Enforcement Unit (CE, formerly known as Zoning Enforcement). The new position would replace a secretary position eliminated during the retirement incentive a few years ago, to support the increasing workload in Civil Enforcement. The Administration indicates that in addition to the continuing zoning enforcement duties, additional responsibilities have been assigned to CE, including enforcement of sidewalk Page 4 artists, the Farmer's Market & entertainers, and sidewalk snow removal. This group will also be responsible for enforcement of the Good Landlord program. According to the Administration, to support CE, the secretary performs letter drafting; preparation of notices, certificates, liens, deficiency lists; HAAB minutes and notices; hearings;as well as assisting with Planning and HAND support as needed. (Although under Building Services organizationally, the staff is still physically located next to Planning and HAND staff.) The number of support staff has been reduced over the past few years from three secretary positions to one. When CE (then HAZE)was organizationally under the Planning Division, there were three secretaries for HAZE,that shared some support for Planning needs.When HAZE was transferred to the Building Services Division,one of the secretary positions was transferred to stay in Planning. Of the remaining two HAZE secretaries, one opted to retire when the City offered the retirement incentive during the 2009-10 fiscal year.This left one secretary to support the CE functions. Typically,the Council has questioned adding new positions mid-year rather than evaluating additions in the context of the annual budget.The Administration has indicated that over the past two years they have employed a temporary secretary to meet the support needs of CE. The Council may wish to ask whether the temporary position could continue to meet the needs until annual budget discussions. The Council might also inquire about whether some incoming complaint phone calls could be handled by an automated system. The Administration may have considered this option and have a recommendation on whether it would provide necessary assistance. A-8: Request for additional funds for Expedited Plan Review Outsourcing Services ($150,000-Source:find balance of the General Fund) This budget item would allocate an additional$150,000 to the Building Services budget for the cost of the outsourcing expedited plan review. When the Council and Administration decided to move forward with providing an option for expedited plan review services,it was determined that those expedited plans would be sent to an outside firm for review. The Council may recall that it was difficult to formulate an estimate of the cost associated with the outside service,because the number of applicants was unknown.According to the Administration,approximately three percent of the plans submitted for review are expedited. The Administration reports that up to October 22,2010,there have been 14 plan reviews this fiscal year.For those expedited reviews,the City paid fees of$36,196 to the outside firm.In addition to those 14 already processed,there are another 10 pending. (Update: through December,$70,000 has been spent on outsourcing expedited plan review.) For each expedited review sent to an outside firm,the City charges double the standard in- house fee.The Administration has estimated that for the expedited reviews submitted through December,$110,000 has been received in double fee revenue from the petitioner. However,with the general fund structure,those revenues are not received directly into the Business Services budget. Page 5 For the Council's reference,the current Turn Around Time(TAT)for plan review is between three and four weeks.Also,as a reminder,plans for LEED certified projects are also expedited without a double-fee as an incentive for seeking LEED certification. If the Council elects to allow expedited plans for other policy reasons it is likely that the funding need will increase. A-9: Request to allocate CDBG funds for construction of Community Learning Center adjacent to Mtn. View Elementary School($233,732-Source:CDBG Fund) In the FY2010 budget process,the Council approved a$233,732 request by the Salt Lake City School District to fund a Community Learning Center adjacent to Mountain View Elementary school. At the time there were a number of questions relating to total cost of the project,location of the project,and fundraising ability,so the Council elected to place the funds in a holding account,subject to future appropriation,pending the School District's response to the Council's various questions. The School District has met with various Council Members over the last few months to answer these questions.This budget amendment request would release these funds. The School District indicates that these 111. funds will be used for project pre-design. The School District has submitted an application for the FY 2012 CDBG process for$500,000. The project is estimated to cost$3.1 million,and the School District would like to begin construction in the Summer of 2011. The funding sources are as follows: Salt Lake City CDBG-FY 2011 $ 233,732 Salt Lake City CDBG-FY 2012 $ 500,000 (request pending) Salt Lake City School District $ 200,000 Salt Lake Education Foundation $2,200,000 (state and national grants) Total Sources $3,133,732 If the Council approves the FY 2012 CDBG request,the City's total contribution will be$733,732. Because these funds are from the federal CDBG program,there are various requirements that the project must follow. The project must follow the Davis Bacon wage schedule(for design as well). The Administration is confirming with the school district if the current estimates includes this wage assumption. Also,HUD states that the City cannot have more than 50%of the total CDBG grant award for that year listed as"pending" in the financial system. Because the total request from the school district would make up a larger portion of the City's total grant award than other projects,the City would need to require the school district to spend these funds in one year. A-10: Request for Impact Fee Waivers($429,809-Source:fund balance of the General Fund) The City's Impact Fee ordinance states that a 100 percent waiver shall be granted for low- income housing(rental or non rental). Low-income is defined in the ordinance as housing for which the payment does not exceed 30%of the annual income of a family that is at 80% of Area Median Income(AMI),as determined by HUD. State Impact Fee statute requires that any"waived"Impact Fees must still be paid by the municipality into the appropriate Impact Fee fund. Therefore the City general fund must reimburse the Impact Fee fund for these waivers. The following projects received waivers: Page 6 Salt Lake City Housing and Neighborhood Development-5 single family $ 7,575 homes(1019 North Colorado St.,1259 West Gillespie Ave,1011 South 1400 West,553 South 1000 West,1019 South 1400 West). Housing Authority of Salt Lake City-Taylor Springs Apartments(1812 S. $ 143,925 West Temple). _ Young Women's Christian Association(YWCA)Crisis Shelter(325 South 300 $ 72,750 East) Road Home-Palmer Court(999 South Main St) $205,589 Total Exemptions(to be reimbursed by general fund) $429,809 A-1l: Request for reallocate funds for Small Neighborhood Business Petition ($55,000-Source:fund balance of the General Fund) The Administration has performed foundation work to set up the Small Business Resource Guide including: inventory of businesses located within neighborhood districts,conducted a survey,and document preparation for public input. Of the$75,000 initially budgeted for the project,$10,000 has been used.The$65,000 dropped to fund balance at the end of 2009-10. In order to complete the remainder of the project,the Administration estimates that $55,000 will be needed and is requesting that be reallocated to the CED budget. The next steps include noticing affected property owners,two public processes,and publication of the Salt Lake City Small Business Guide. A-12: Request for three New FTE's associated with the Public Services Department Reorganization($132,462 for 6 months;$317,910 annually-Source:fund balance of the General Fund) The Administration is proposing organizational changes to the Public Services Department, which includes ten(10)divisions,two(2)Enterprise Funds-the Refuse and Golf Funds, and one(1)Internal Service Fund-Fleet. The reorganization involves 1)elimination of the Deputy Director position,2)creating four divisions,and 3)adding two new positions in the department. In addition to flattening the organizational structure,the departmental changes will distribute administrative and day-to-day duties,program oversight,and management to four(4)newly created Division Directors. Three existing department employees will become Division Directors. The fourth one,the Operations Division,is a newly created division that will require recruiting and hiring of an employee to fill this position. • Page 7 The following table presents additional detail about the proposed reorganization: Division Employee Grade FY 2011 Future Additional Information Impact -Partial Year Year Annual Cost Cost (Note:This assumes a Feb 1 hire date.) 1 FTE- 31 $41,562 $99,750 This position,as proposed, Special will work for the Director.

According to information provided by the Administration, the future annual cost for the reorganization is $317,910. The funding for this budget amendment would come from the City's General Fund - Fund Balance. • ►Does the Council wish to ask the Administration if additional technology could assist the Department in their service, organizational, management, and oversight roles? This is suggested in addition to any staffing changes approved, rather than in lieu of A-13: Requested Changes to City's Appointed Positions (fiscal impact is discussed in more detail in Item A-12) Pending the Council's action on item A-12, the chart for appointed positions will change. The following positions will be deleted- Public Services Deputy Director (Grade 39), Capital Asset Management Director (Grade 39), Sustainability Environment Division Director (Grade 35), Fleet Division Manager (Grade 33). The following positions will be added - Labor Relations Director/Senior City Attorney (Grade 39), Operations Division Director, Public Services (Grade 37), Finance and Accounting Division Director, Public Services (Grade 35), Sustainability/Environment Division Director, Public Services (Grade 35), Administrative Service Division Director, Public Services (Grade 35), Fleet Management Program Director, Public Services (Grade 33), Parks and Public Lands Program Director (Grade 33), Special Projects Analyst (Grade 31). Costs associated with these changes are detailed in item A-12. Additional Changes- Due to the Council Staff equity/compensations issues that have previously been recognized by the Council and were funded in the FY 2011 budget process, a reorganization of certain positions on the pay grade chart is also part of this budget amendment (see attached chart). Some changes within the office have been made, and some Page 9 will need to be addressed over a two year period as funds are available. Staff will present -� further options as a part of the FY 2012 budget. Attachment A is the rationale used by the 2010 Council Chair,Vice Chair and Director. A-14: Request to establish cost centers for North Temple Boulevard Improvements ($8,017,200-Source:CIP Fund) The Administration is requesting the Council approve this budget item to recognize various revenue and expenditure sources relating to the North Temple Boulevard project. The chart below summarizes sources and uses,based on the most current cost estimates. Note that the current cost estimate of$22.5 million is significantly lower than the original cost estimate of approximately$30 million. The net effect is that the City can complete the project with a lower sales tax bond than originally expected($3 million instead of the originally anticipated$10 million). Cost reductions came from a favorable bidding climate, as well as a slight reduction in scope for some elements. Scope reduction includes not funding certain improvements west of Redwood Road,such as street lights,pedestrian lights,and landscaping. Other scope reductions are in the process of being confirmed by Council staff and will be made available on Tuesday. The budget authorization includes a final sales tax bond amount of$3 million. Staff estimates the debt service on this amount is approximately$250,000 per year(assuming a 20 year bond). Final debt service payments will be determined at the time of sale. 7 Page 10 C tLnding Sources Alliance Fund $ 10,000,000 FY 2010 CIP Budget $ 2,884 000 FY 2010 Non-Departmental Budget $ 150,000 FY 2010 Class C $ 375,000 Property Owner Assessment(East of Redwood Raod) $ 1,181,800 State contribution in lieu of property assessment $ 386,200 Alliance Fund increase as a result of decision to only partially embed track on Airport $ 781,496 State Contribution per HB XXX $ 3,500,000 12.5%UTA portion of new street light system $ 261,000 City Sales Tax Bond-Pending Council Approval $ 3,000,000 Total Funding as of 2/9/2010 22,519,496 Costs Final Cost Original Estimate UTA Conceptual Urban Design Process $ 300,000 Conceptual and final boulevard contract design cost $ 2,280,384 Saving in conceptual and final design $ (261,238) Design Consultant(Ron Straka&Marilee Utter) $ 224,000 $ 150,000 Business Impact Mitigation budget $ 120,000 $ 150,000 Concrete paved track, 600 W.to 2200 W. $ 4,040,759 $ 6,400,000 Coloring of concrete for the embedded track and all other colored concrete elements on the boulevard and viaduct $ 1,006,913 $ 820,000 Betterment of Jordan River Bridge(enhancements and deck) $ 297,684 $ 375,000 Painted bike path $ 100,000 $ 200,000 Raised medians curbs $ 40,501 $ 225,000 Enhanced bus shelters $ 300,000 $ 300,000 Enhanced station platforms- includes patterned concrete $ 335,238 $ 305,000 Patterned concrete at station platforms $ - $ 95,000 Enhanced OCS poles $ 310,024 $ 195,000 OCS poles reflective element $ 52,845 $ 250,000 Multi-modal Pathway- includes following four items $ 4,205,428 $ 1,960,000 Corner Treatments $ - $ 317,000 I-215 Underpass Enhancement $ - $ 265,000 I-15 Underpass Enhancement $ - $ 265,000 Redwood Road crosswalks and corner treatments $ - $ 130,000 Enhanced parkstrip landscaping-includes following two items $ 3,315,685 $ 3,958,000 Enhanced North Temple medians $ - $ 445,000 I-80 Corridor landscaping $ - $ 45,000 Credit for eliminating landscaping and boulevard elements between Redwood Road and I 215 $ (750,387) Street furnishings $ 50,000 $ 185,000 Neighborhood identification place markers $ 118,224 $ 160,000 Street and pedestrian scale lighting for the boulevard and viaduct $ 1,842,800 $ 4,873,499 Station bollard lighting $ - $ 75,000 Enhanced crosswalks(other than Redwood Road) $ 891,486 $ 136,000 Public Art at Stations $ 250,000 $ 300,000 Bicycle signals $ 38,645 $ 100,000 Right of Way/Acquisition Issues $ 2,775,541 $ 1,960,000 Power Line burial $ 2,490,307 $ 3,500,000 Solar Panels $ 500,000 $ 500,000 Jordan River Parkway enhancements $ 283,037 $ 400,000 Modification to overhaul power system for high load vehicle clearanc $ 135,500 $ 200,000 Cost savings per interlocal agreement in allowing UTA to mill and structurally overlay instead of a complete reconstruction of the North Temple pavements. $ (3,088,529) $ (107,000) Earned Contractor design completion incentive $ (42,750) UTA Program Management Fee $ 457,399 City Engineering Construction Management Costs $ 200,000 Total Revised Costs $ 22,519,496 $ 29,432,499 Page 11 A-15: Request for Barnes Bank Bond Budget Adjustment($4,737,381-Source: Barnes Bank Bond Funds) Several years ago when the Council and Administration decided to purchase the Barnes Bank Building at the corner of 400 South and 300 East,a bond was issued to cover the purchase of the building and the estimated necessary upgrades for occupancy.The City will no longer pursue use of the Barnes Bank Building due to a higher cost for renovations, and to current designs and vision for the Public Safety Building. Use of the bond money is allowed toward other needed City-owned building improvements and remodeling.The amount available is$4.7 million in bond money,plus$37,381 in interest earned since the bond issuance. The Council may wish to schedule this topic for a separate and more thorough briefing due to the number of options to consider.The only step that is currently necessary is that the bond funds be allocated toward improvement and remodeling of a building for use as City offices.The Council could allocate the funds in a general account for that purpose and then hold the conversation for specific project review and approval at a later date. Having said that,the Administration provided some information about possible uses of the money.Facilities Services and the Engineering Division compiled a list of potential projects and estimated costs totaling$13,561,816.The Mayor has provided a recommendation on projects,totaling$5,621,682,as follows: • $3,473,000 To be spent at Plaza 349 on: o spatial reconfigurations of floors 1,4,and 6 o upgrades to the mechanical,electrical and plumbing systems throughout the entire Plaza 349 building • $2,148,682 To be spent at the City 84 County Building on: o remodeling of the north end of the 5th floor, o new office space would accommodate approximately 44 additional employees. • TOTAL of $5,621,682 o This is$884,301 over the available bond and interest money. o The Administration intends to include the rest in a CIP application. One of the items on the list is to repair and maintain the stone on the outside of the City 8s County building,which a few Council Members have inquired about.The estimate for this project would be$1.6 million. There are other systems maintenance,upgrades,and structural projects to existing building space on the list as well. Questions for Consideration: o The Council may wish to review the complete list of proposed projects with the Administration to discuss more of the details and reasoning for the Mayor's recommendations. Page 12 o The Council may wish to weigh the options between building out additional office space or maintaining existing office and building needs. o The Council may wish to ask about the need for additional office space, and how the recommended improvements will address the needs of the City. o The Council may wish to ask whether a comprehensive space needs audit has been completed. o The Council may also wish to ask how the recommended projects will facilitate the One Stop shop, customer access, and the parking issues previously identified as a problem for customers. o The Council may wish to ask whether funding these recommended projects with the bond money would free up money in the CIP account for 2011-12 or 10-year CIP Plan projects. o The Council may also wish to ask whether there are other projects on the CIP 10- year plan that could be considered. o The Council may wish to have the Administration return with a full briefing on the potential future uses of the Barnes Bank Building site. A-16: Request for revenue and expenditure budget authority to implement electronic booting program ($257,250 - revenue neutral) The Administration is requesting both a revenue and expenditure budget be established to implement the recently-approved electronic booting program with Paylock. Paylock and Salt Lake City entered into a contract in December 2010, whereby the City will collect the fee established by ordinance ($147.00) and pass the payment along to Paylock.

C-2:Request for one FTE-State of Utah,Dept. of Public Safety,Division of Homeland Security, Urban Area Security Initiative Grant(UASI)Program Grant ($2,170,078-Source:Grant Fund) The 2010 Homeland Security Grant under the Urban Area Security Initiative(UASI)was awarded to allow for the purchase of equipment and materials needed in planning and preparing for events,such as,natural disasters or terrorist attacks. The following table presents how the UASI grant funds for both UASI budget amendment items,B-2 and B-3, will be used. (Note: Although item C-2 includes a new position,it is for a Training and Exercise Coordinator,and not the Infrastructure Protection Specialist which was discussed during the last budget opening. According to the Administration,the Training and Exercise Coordinator position will be funded by this grant for three years,unless other grant funding is secured. The addition of this position may be of less concern to the Council,since funding for a full three years has been identified - and no grant amendment will be needed to accomplish this proposal.) The acronym ACIP is not commonly used,but it is listed below. The Asynchronous Critical Infrastructure Program is a program developed in Utah that is designed to facilitate the evaluation of risk.

The Administration classified the following as: Housekeeping D-1: Public Utilities Storm Water Carryover ($168,000) and Two New Projects ($1.035,000)for a Total of$1,203,000(Source:Storm Water Fund) This amount represents the amount requested to be carried over for storm water fund capital projects, specifically the storm water line on 4000 West and 700 South, and two new projects related to the City's other street improvement projects: 500 South to 700 South from the Surplus Canal to Gladiola(current SAA before the Council on January 11) in the amount of$650,000,and 1700 East Yalecrest Avenue in the amount of$385,000. Since the fiscal year ends on June 30th of each year in the middle of a normal summer construction period, it is common for funding to be split between budget years. This is a normal practice of carrying over funding for construction projects which are in progress. On June 30, 2010,unexpended appropriations lapsed in accordance with State law. The Administration is requesting that the Council bring forward, or "carryover" the appropriations for existing construction projects in progress of$168,000. The Council already processed one carryover for the Storm Water Fund in Budget Amendment No.2 for some of the larger carryover projects. D-2:Public Utilities Water Carryover($1,755,900) and One New Project($650,000) for a Total of$2,405,900(Source:Water Fund) ..., This amount represents the amount requested to be carried over for water fund capital projects, specifically water line projects that were under construction since last fiscal year, plus a new project related to the City's other street improvement projects:500 South to 700 South from the Surplus Canal to Gladiola(current SAA before the Council on January 11) in the amount of$650,000. Since the fiscal year ends on June 30th of each year in the middle of a normal summer construction period, it is common for funding to be split between budget years. This is a normal practice of carrying over funding for construction projects which are in progress. On June 30, 2010, unexpended appropriations lapsed in accordance with State law. The Administration is requesting that the Council bring forward, or "carryover" the appropriations for existing construction projects in progress of$1,755,900. D-3:Public Utilities Sewer Carryover($4,127,200) This amount represents the amount requested to be carried over for sewer fund capital projects and for sewer line and sewer treatment projects that have been under construction since last fiscal year. Since the fiscal year ends on June 30th of each year in the middle of a normal summer construction period, it is common for funding to be split between budget years. This is a normal practice of carrying over funding for construction projects which are in progress. On June 30, 2010, unexpended appropriations lapsed in accordance with State law. The Administration is requesting that the Council bring forward, or "carryover" the appropriations for existing construction projects in progress of$4,127,200. Page 18 The Council already processed one carryover for the Sewer Fund in Budget Amendment No. 2 for two of the major carryover projects such as the 1800 North Sewer Trunk Line and the Sewer Treatment Plant Digester Roof Replacement projects. D-4: Request for increase to Grant Holding Account ($1,000,000) The Administration is requesting the Council increase the grant holding account (currently $1 million), by another million, bringing it to $2 million. This would allow the Administration greater flexibility to spend grant funds more immediately once awarded. In the past 6 months the City has received over $6 million in grant funds. Sometimes the award is made at a time not around a regularly-scheduled budget amendment. The Council may wish to discuss only increasing the grand holding account for grants with no staffing impact and/or no match required. D-5: Request for increase to Donations Fund Holding Account($58,899.16) The Administration utilizes a "master budget" for donation receipts and related interest earned. This allows the Administration to have the necessary appropriation so that as donations or interest income are received, they can have quick access to the funds. The budget is generally kept at $100,000 and restored as donations come in and the appropriation is spent down. In Budget Amendment #2 for FY 2010, the Council replenished the $100,000 allocation for interest on existing and new donations. The appropriation has already been allocated to individual funds. The Administration requests an appropriation of$58,899.16 to replace donations already used. Attached to item D-5 in the transmittal is a list of the current donation amounts and projects. D-6: Grants Carryover Adjustments (-$78,411) The Administration normally requests a carryover for grants that have been started but were not completed by the end of the fiscal year. This step was processed in Budget Amendment No. 2, however the Administration reports that since then some adjustments were made to grant expenditures for the 2009-10 fiscal year. The adjustments require that grant account funds be corrected and reduced. This is a decrease to the budget. The Administration classified the following as: Grants Requiring No New Staff Resources E-1: U.S. Dept. of Justice, Office of Justice Programs, Paul Coverdell Forensic Science Improvement Grant($106,000 - Source: Grant Fund) The Salt Lake City Police Department received a grant under the FY 2010 Paul Coverdell Forensic Science Improvement Program. Funds awarded are to be used to improve the quality and timeliness of forensic science and medical examiner services and/or to eliminate the backlogs experienced in forensic labs. Forensic evidence analysis includes testing related to controlled substances, firearms, pathology, latent prints, toxicology, and trace evidence. The Police Department proposes to use the grant funds as follows: Page 19 Purpose Amount Additional Information Equipment/Training $23,200 Crime-lite-Portable equipment used primarily by forensic investigators to detect evidence from crime scenes. Equipment/Training $62,000 DCS 4-Workstation for recording and enhancement of latent fingerprints.

E-2: U.S. Dept. of Housing and Urban Development, Community Challenge Planning and Dept. of Transportation TIGER II Planning Grants- TRAX Line Area Plans and Sustainable Zoning($22,620-Source:Grant Fund) The City received a $22,620 Grant from the US Department of Housing and Urban Development(HUD) under the TIGER II Planning Grants program, to develop station area plans and specific zoning codes for the three existing light rail stations along the 400 South portion of the University TRAX line (Library Station, Trolley Square Station, 900 East Station). The goal of the plans would be to identify redevelopment opportunities, promote construction of affordable housing, and re-write the zoning to accomplish these goals. The plans will be developed through a public outreach and community visioning process. The grant requires a 20%match,which the City will provide with the dedication of existing staff resources. The expected timeline for the project is 24 months. The Council may wish to ask the Administration for more detail about the Community Visioning process. E-3: U.S. Dept. of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women - Salt Lake Elder Abuse Project Grant($400,000-Source: Grant Fund) The Police Department has received a grant to fund programs for victims of elder abuse,in collaboration with other local and state agencies. The funds provide training, response systems, and enhanced delivery of services to older adult female victims of abuse. The grant will be divided into the following: o $164,739 Utah Adult Protective Services to hire a caseworker to investigate reported incidents,and provide services and support o 129,890 Support outreach and services o 86,841 Salt Lake County DA Office for a part-time victim advocate and counselor o 18,530 Travel and training costs for various agency employees,judges, police department personnel Page 20 - - -- - The majority of this grant was previously approved on the Council's consent agenda. This budget item would receive the balance of the grant funds, and replenish the City's grant holding account. The Administration classified the following as: Donations F-1: Rio Tinto Donation - City's Climate Showcase Communities ($10,000 - Grant Fund) In Budget Amendment No. 2 of 2009-10, the City set the budget for a grant program to implement a Sustainable Transportation for a Sustainable Future program. The STSF program is a partnership with the County, Salt Lake Solutions, UDOT, Utah Clean Cities Coalition and Rio Tinto. This budget item accepts the $10,000 donation from Rio Tinto as their portion to meet the grant match requirement. The program, as a reminder, is a social messaging outreach / education program that will encourage behavioral changes throughout the County to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution through fewer driven miles. In addition to funding travel, grant monitoring, conferences, surveys, and other contracts, $214,055 of the grant is funding a program manager position over three-years.

This request will reimburse the grant holding account. The Administration classified the following as: Follow-up on Previously Approved Items NONE Council Added Items Approving CDBG funds for Council Budget- In the FY 2011 CDBG Budget process the Council conditionally approved$91,709 in CDBG funds to use in the Council Office budget, similar to administrative funds approved for the Attorney's Office, Mayor's Office, Housing and Neighborhood Development, and Finance. The Council at the time wanted to wait for a Budget Amendment to finalize the approval of these funds. This action would allow these funds to be used for staff as it relates to community outreach and the CDBG process, in CDBG-eligible census tracks. Staff will work with the Administration to ensure that these funds will be used for eligible expenses only. Page 21 Attachment A Council Staff Compensation - Policy Basis Council staff positions should be compensated at least equal to their peers in merit positions in the Administration. The Mayor's staff is not necessarily a direct comparable. Compensation in appointed positions can be assessed based on "risk level" of turnover due to elections. While the Mayor's office typically has 100 percent turnover following an election, and Council Staff turnover might differ, Council Staff members serve at will, and employment is not guaranteed, nor is there a guaranteed dispute resolution process, as there is with merit employees.

This budget request will establish the revenue and expenditure budget for improvements to the Rose Park Golf Course driving range and the closing costs on the sale. Salt Lake City Surplus Land Fund recently purchased the property at the south end of the driving range at Rose Park on Redwood Road to facilitate an expansion of the driving range that will allow golfers to use top quality range balls and practice with all clubs in their bags. This expansion will result in a driving range that is over 350 yards long and a practice tee that is approximately 125 yards wide by 50 yards deep.

Initiative#A-1-b Initiative Name: Sorenson Center Utilities Reimbursement From County Initiative Number: BA#3 FY2011Initiative # A-2 Initiative Type: New Item Initiative Discussion: This budget amendment places the expense for utilities (water, electrical, gas) back into Facilities' budget due to the need for continued payment for these costs. With Salt Lake City's energy performance contract on this site it is necessary that the City track costs and bill Salt Lake County for not only the utility cost but the associated debt service that the City will incur as a result of the energy performance contract municipal lease. Salt Lake County will pay for utilities and receive the financial benefit from the lower utility costs, while the City receives the benefit of new equipment for it's owned facility. Currently Salt Lake City pays for the utility costs and bills for reimbursement from the County. The City's budget (in Facilities) doesn't currently contain budget for the utility expenses. This budget amendment requests expense and revenue budgets in equal amounts to cover initial payment of utilities and reimbursement from the County.

Initiative#A-2-b Initiative Name: Dog Park Fence at Rotary Glen Park Initiative Number: BA#3 FY2011 Initiative #A-3 Initiative Type: New Item Initiative Discussion: Rotary Glen Park met the requirements to be designated as a one year probationary site for a dog park. A fence will need to be installed before operating the site as a dog park. The fence must be 550 feet long by four feet high and must run between the park and the stream adjacent to the park to be in compliance with the riparian corridor ordinance. The cost of the fence (including a concrete mow strip under the fence) has been estimated at approximately $14,000, depending on the bids. The fence will need to be installed before the spring of 2011. This request is to use $14,000 from the General Fund Fund Balance.

Initiative#A-3-b Initiative Name: Street Cars Project Manager Initiative Number: BA#3 FY2011 Initiative #A-4 New Item Initiative Discussion: In October, Salt Lake City, in conjunction with South Salt Lake and the Utah Transit Authority, received a $26 million grant from the US Department of Transportation to develop a two-mile modern streetcar line in Sugar House. The next 18 months will require intensive effort to design and construct a streetcar line along an abandoned railway corridor. Because the scope of the project involves coordinating with with many entities outside the City, as well within the City, and because of the rapid timeframe planned for this project, this project cannot be managed with existing City resources that are fully engaged in the development of other critical capital projects. Therefore, the Administration is requesting approval to create a Streetcars Project Manager position. This position will be housed in CED and ideally, will possess skills that complement both the Engineering and the Tranportation divisions. Because the Administration believes that the Sugar House line is the first of several streetcar lines that will be built eventually in Salt Lake City, we propose to create a position that will offer continuity to subsequent streetcar projects. This position will require considerable technical skill and expertise, but will also require superb community and concensus-building skills. As such, we would tentatively propose this position as a Grade 35, Engineer VII equivalent. We estimate the annual, fully loaded cost of this type of position to be $126,200 and request $52,500 and 1 FTE for the remainder of the fiscal year. initiative #A-4 I i I Street Cars Project Manager Initiative Name BA#3 FY2011 initiative#A-4 2011 Initiative Number Fiscal Year Public Services New Item Department Type of Initiative Greg Davis 535-6123 Prepared By Telephone Contact Ne ative ( g ) Positive 'General Fund - Fund Balance- $ (52,500.00)'I Impact Revenue Impact By Fund: Fiscal Year Annual Impact Amount Impact Amount [General Fund Total ' $ - $0, lInternal Service Fund Total, $0 $01 'Enterprise Fund Total $0 $0, Other Fund Total! $0' Staffing Impact: Requested Number of FTE's: 1 FTE Position Title: Street Cars $ 52,500.00 $ 126,500.00 Project Manager Initiative#A-4-a i i I I I Accounting Detail Grant#and CFDA#If Applicable: Revenue: Cost Center Number Object Code Number Amount I i I I � I I I Expenditure: Cost Center Number Object Code Number Amount I I 06-00100 2100 $ 52,500.00 j I Additional Accounting Details: i I Grant Information: NOT APPLICABLE Grant funds employee positions?

Initiative#A-5-b Initiative Name: Bike Sharing Pilot Program Initiative Number: BA#3 FY2010-11 Initiative #A-6 Initiative Type: New Item Initiative Discussion: The Salt Lake City Transportation Division is requesting the City Council approve $25,000 towards the funding of an approximately $100,000 bike sharing program. This would be a pilot program with 40-50 bicycles located in the downtown area. This money would be used to match contributions from private sponsorships. Bike sharing programs in other cities in the U.S. and Canada follow a pay-to-rent business model. For a small fee, the user can rent a specially-designed bicycle from a public kiosk, use the bicycle as a means of public transit, and return the bicycle to the same bike-sharing kiosk or to a kiosk in another location. Each bicycle has multiple gears and can carry an additional fifty pounds of weight in the front basket. The locations of each kiosk would be determined by the bike-sharing vendor, the Salt Lake City Transportation Division, and the Downtown Alliance. The kiosks are solar-powered and operate on a key-card or credit card basis. Most bike sharing systems offer a 30 minute to 1 hour grace period in which the customer will not be charged for the bicycle. After the initial grace period, the cost of renting the bicycle varies on a sliding scale which is determined by the amount of time the bicycle is rented. Annual user fees range from $75 to $100, with monthly and daily memberships available. These user fees typically cover only operating costs; the capital investment in the bikes/kiosks is typically made using public dollars. Some additional public funding may be needed to support the operations. In the pilot phase, the bicycles and kiosks would be leased from a bike sharing vendor. Depending on the public reception and use of the pilot bike sharing program, the City will likely pursue expanded sponsorships, advertising, and grants to fund the purchase of bikes. Bike sharing requires a density of bikes I kiosks as well as density in land use / mixed-use development for its ideal implementation. A tentative "build out"for bike sharing in SLC's designated downtown, would be on the order of 500 bikes, with a capital cost of $3,500 to $4,500 per bike, for a total cost around $2 million. Annual operating costs, partly defrayed by user fees, are typically around $1,000 per bike, with a total cost around $500,000 for a downtown program.

Due to the growing responsibilites and workload placed upon Civil Enforcement during the last six months, it is not possible for the secretarial workload to be done by one person. Civil Enforcement has been given additional responsibilities including sidewalk artists, the Farmers Market and entertainer's enforcement, sidewalk snow removal enforcement, and soon to be the good landlord ordinance. These new responsibilities have and will create an increase in the secretarial workload to process additional notices, deficiency lists, additional telephone complaints, increased information requests and inquiries, and certificates that will be required under the Good Landlord program. Theses increased dutuies are on top of the current duties performed by the one secretary which includes but is not limited to preparing notices, certificates, liens, deficiency lists, HAAB minutes and notices, hearings, as well as assisting Planning and HAND with secretarial overflow duties. A permanent employee is needed for long term stability and performance of the secretarial duties mentioned above. Civil Enforcement is requesting half of the funding for this position this fiscal year due to the timing of budget amendment 3. A senior secretary with benefits would call for funding of $54,000, half of the funding for this fiscal year would be 27,000.

The ordinance allows expediting technical plan review for double the regular permit fee. Due to fairness issues, the ordinance also requires that all plans that are expedited are sent to a private plan review firm under a contract for plan review services for the Salt Lake City Corporation. In a 'General Fund' environment it is difficult for the Department to recoup the funds spent on the outsource review. It is also difficult to budget for this expenditure as there is no known conventional method to estimate the number of plans that will be expedited. It was discussed with City Council during the adoption process that if we did not have sufficient funds budgeted to pay the private firms, then a budget opening could be used, at which time the demand as well as the current expenditures would be considered. From July 1, 2010 to October 22, 2010 we have expedited and charged double-fees on 14 plan reviews for a total expenditure of$36,196 with an additional 10 plan reviews in the queue ready to go out. We are requesting an additional $150,000 to fund this program annually. The program has been a great success with our customers and is seen as a 'value- added' resource for them. Our projection is that the demand will remain high.

NA Initiative#A-11-b Initiative Name: Public Services Reorganization Initiative Number: BA#3 FY2011 Initiative #A-12 Initiative Type: New Item Initiative Discussion: In order to function more efficiently, Public Services is proposing to make a number of changes in how the department is organized. Currently, the department is directed and managed by a director and a deputy director, who have divided responsibility for overseeing the 10 divisions that comprise Public Services between them. The proposed changes would make department administration organizational changes to more effectively distribute administrative duties and program oversight/management. This budget amendment proposes a reorganization plan that flattens the organization structure by eliminating the Deputy Director position and creating four (4) appointed department division functions. These division directors would be responsible for managing the day to day operations of their divisions. The new division functions are as follows: Administrative Services Division: Department policy, strategic planning, program performance, contracts, safety, emergency management and event planning. This division would include some functions currently preformed in the Office of Director, and, would also be responsible for the operation of the Gallivan Center and other events planning functions. In addition, this division will engage in policy development, program review and evaluation, and strategic planning, functions that for the most part have not been conducted in the recent past due to resource constraints. Finance and Accounting Division: Budget, accounting, fiscal analysis, revenue projections, purchasing, payroll, auditing, fund allocation, risk management,grants,and forecasting. Operations Division: Oversight of core public service programs; Facilities, Compliance, YouthCity, Golf, Park and Public Lands, Streets/Concrete, Fleet. Sustainability-Environment Services: In addition to the current responsibilities of sustainability,energy,environment management and compliance,recycling, and outreach,this division will assume responsibility for sanitation. Each division would be led by a Division Director. Three of the new division categories either currently exist or will be created from existing programs; Sustainability-Environment, Administrative Services and Finance and Accounting Services, and three existing department employees will be slotted into new division responsibilities. The Operations Division is a new division and we anticipate recruiting for a Division Director for this position. The budget amendment also proposes the creation of two(2)new positions to add support to existing department functions: A Special Projects Analyst to work directly with the Department Director, and an accountant in the Finance and Accounting Division. Initiative#A-1 2 The Special Projects Analyst will work for the Director and manage or coordinate large scale projects, new initiatives, public policy issues, inter-governmental relations, public relations, and be a liaison with City departments. This analyst will function as direct support for the Director in managing the large number of projects, initiatives and issues the department is currently responsible for, including the construction of the Regional Athletic Complex, exploring new off-leash area options, developing a plan for deteriorated concrete, finalizing the Parks , Open Space and Forestry Advisory Board, developing,a master plan for the Salt Lake City Cemetery, and developing a long term plan for the department's capital improvement needs. The accountant will support the daily demands of managing the expansive accounting and financial programs of the department that include seven (7) general fund programs, two (2) enterprise funds, and one (1) internal service fund. Currently, critical oversight of the department's $75,000,000 budget is challenging as existing resources are stretched very thin. The proposed structure will make reporting lines clear, and will relieve the Department Director of the responsibility to address day to day management issues that will now be handled by division directors, freeing up the director's time to concentrate on larger departmental issues and city-wide priorities.

Initiative Name: North Temple Boulevard Improvements Initiative Number: BA#3 FY2011 Initiative #A-14 New Item Initiative Discussion: This fiscal impact statement addresses four components of funding for the North Temple Boulevard improvements that include County revenue bonds in the amount of$3,500,000; a Special Assessment Area (SAA) in the amount of$1,181,000; the State of Utah's contribution in the amount of $336,200; and the City's North Temple sales tax bond in the amount of$3,000,000. The discussion is as follows. During the 2010 General Session, the State Legislature gave approval for Salt Lake County to issue revenue bonds to finance certain transportation projects including improvements to North Temple. The City and County entered into an Interlocal Agreement which provides for the transfer and City's use of $3,500,000 bond proceeds to pay for all or part of the North Temple Boulevard improvements. The bond proceeds received from the County will be used to fund a portion of design and construct boulevard improvements. The Engineering Department is requesting an SAA budget in the amount of $1,181,000 be established for the property owners abutting North Temple from 600 West to Redwood Road. The SAA will be used to construct a street and pedestrian lighting system as part of the North Temple Improvement project. This request also includes budget in the amount of $336,200 be established to accept the State of Utah's, Department of Facilities and Construction Management (DFCM) contribution for the street and pedestrian lighting system in lieu of an assessment for their properties adjacent to North Temple. Initiative #A-1 4 On January 19, 2010, the City Council approved a parameters resolution authorizing a'not to exceed" $12,000,000 sales tax bond for completion of the North Temple project. With the addition of the $3,500,000 in County revenue bonds and final project costs determined, the amount of sales tax bond funds needed to complete the project has been reduced to $3,000,000. This amount includes all of the items/enhancements determined by the City Council including contingency and admin, plus, future project needs which include solar panels, enhanced bus stops and the Jordan River Trail connection which will be completed after UTA has completed their portion of the project. With this budget opening, all of the funding is in place to build the boulevard and viaduct. The project costs decreased due to the project being scaled back west of Redwood Road by eliminating street lights, pedestrian lights and landscaping. The price of materials and supplies were below estimates and the final design and scope of work is completed that allowed the contractor to give firm bids. This request is to establish four cost centers with budgets totaling $8,017,200.

NA Initiative#A-14-b Initiative Name: Barnes Bank Bond Budget Adjustment - CIP Initiative Number: BA#3 FY2011 Initiative #A-15 New Item Initiative Discussion: The Administration is requesting a change in the use of the unexpended sales tax revenue bond proceeds used for the purchase of the Barnes Bank Building as the project has been redefined. The unexpended proceeds from the Barnes Bank bond is $4,700,000. As per the January 2009 Resolution, the bonds may be used for the cost of acquisition, improvement and remodeling of a building for use as City offices. The cost of renovation for the Barnes Bank building, $8,043,716, exceeded budgets and to accommodate design components of the Public Safety Building, such as parking requirements, the Administration proposes the funds should be used in the improvement and remodeling of current City office space in Plaza 349 and City and County Building. In addition, it is the desire of the Adminstration to bring to market a mixed-use, transit-oriented development on the north side of the Public Safety Building project along 400 South. This project will serve as the catalyst to a renaissance of the 400 South corridor and will set the standard for future development of the area. Considering the change of use of unexpended bond proceeds, the Administration requested proposals for a variety of building improvement projects from Facilities Services and Engineering (see Attachments A, B, and C) for both Plaza 349 and the City and County Building. After careful review, the Administration requests that the funding be used as follows: $3,473,000 for spatial reconfigurations of floors 1, 4, and 6 and upgrades to mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (including accessible restrooms) to floors 1 through 6 of Plaza 349; $2,148,682 for the remodel of 5,600 square feet of the north end of the 5th Floor in the City and County Building for new office space and office furnishings thus creating space for 44 employees. Facilities Services estimates that it will cost approximately$11,516 a year to maintain the new space. The bond proceeds have generated interest as of December 23, 2010 in the amount of $37,381 of which $19,559 has been budgeted in prior budget openings in the CIP cost center. That leaves an additional $17,822 that needs to be budgeted. Initiative#A-1 5 The Administration recognizes that the sum of these items creates a shortfall of approximatel $884,301; however, the difference will be submitted as an application request as part of the 2011/2012 CIP process.

This grant is awarded to provide funds and resources needed in solving cold cases. The SLCPD has determined the need to clear more than 100 unsolved, violent crime/homicide cold cases that remain open. The goal and objective of the PD is to assess all cases for biological evidence for DNA testing in order to solve and adjudicate the crimes. To do this, the PD proposes to contract with Sorenson Forensics LLC for case consultation of these 100 cases. $147,200 of grant funds will be used to contract with Sorenson Forensics who will determine which cases require further DNA testing and which are best suited to be tested by either the State Crime Lab (SCL) or Sorenson Forensics with Sorenson taking the cases that need the widest range of DNA testing, with an approximate turn around time of 16 days. Sorenson Forensics also conducts trainings and workshops and will provide this service to SLC sworn law enforcement personnel, 12 civilians crime lab technicians, and 5 analysts at the SCL. The PD will also contract with the Utah Bureau of Forensic Services (State Crime Lab)for$103,000 to purchase and supply 1000 DNA test kits for 24 cold cases that have been screened and assigned to them. The contract will also include paying for Analysts time at the SCL who will do the testing during off hours in order to mediate some of the backlog they currently experience. In addition, $60,000 will be used for travel of 2 Detectives to conduct interviews with witnesses who are out of State and $9,000 will be used to send 4 Detectives to Homicide/Cold Case Training; and $70,000 will be used for overtime paid to 6 Detectives and 1 Sergeants when regular caseload does not allow time to work the cold cases during regular shift work. A Resolution was previously passed authorizing the Mayor to sign and accept the grant and any additional grants or agreements that stem from the original grant.

N/A Initiative#D-3-b Initiative Name: Additional Funding to Grant Holding Account Initiative Number: BA#3 FY2011 Initiative #D-4 Initiative Type: House Keeping Initiative Discussion: This request is to increase the grant holding account by$1 million. In the past six month months the City has received over $6 million in grant funding. The USAI grant was about $3 million by itself. There are multiple communities and organizations involved in these grants. Currently there are 23 active interagency and interdisciplinary projects funded by this USAI grant. Due to the nature of the grant schedule determined by Congress and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security it is problematic to meet the scheduled budget openings of the City. The average UAS1 grant program can be between $200,000 up to $3 million. While every dollar allocated via consent agenda is appreciated, allocating less than the average program investment does little to further planned investments and can create long-term damage to established partnerships within the program. Each grant year must be spent within 36 months, postponing projects an average of four months impacts the project timelines and the ability to implement long-term grant-led programs. Add to this timeline the necessary transition from the Department of Homeland Security to the State of Utah and finally to the local Urban Area and the grant performance period decreases to an average of 30 months. For several of our projects that is simply not enough time to establish the program and expend the associated funds through established proposal and contracting processes. Projects are often tied to trainings, exercises (such as the Utah Shakeout 2012) and strategic planning initiatives. Postponing the investments is likely to create a long-term impact on dependent projects. Initiative#D-4 I I !

BUDGET IMPACT: No funding required. BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: In 2010 the Utah State Legislature adopted the more energy efficient IECC 2009 energy code for industrial and commercial buildings, but did not adopt them for homes due to pressure from the Utah Homebuilder's Association. The Utah Uniform Building Code Commission recommended that this more efficient standard be set for homes, but the matter was not acted on by the legislature's Business and Labor Interim Committee. The lifecycle cost savings of this new code is proven,with a payback period of approximately six years. It would be in the best interest of our citizens to as the code would help reduce use of energy, and its resultant pollutants, in the region.

BUDGET IMPACT: No funding required. BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: In 2010 the Utah State Legislature adopted the more energy efficient IECC 2009 energy code for industrial and commercial buildings,but did not adopt them for homes due to pressure from the Utah Homebuilder's Association. The Utah Uniform Building Code Commission recommended that this more efficient standard be set for homes, but the matter was not acted on by the legislature's Business and Labor Interim Committee. The lifecycle cost savings of this new code is proven, with a payback period of approximately six years. It would be in the best interest of our citizens to as the code would help reduce use of energy, and its resultant pollutants, in the region.

SALT LAKE CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT DATE: January 13, 2011 SUBJECT: Petition PLNPCM2009-00322-Water efficient landscaping/Tree Protection AFFECTED COUNCIL DISTRICTS: If the ordinance is adopted it would affect Council Districts citywide. STAFF REPORT BY: Nick Tarbet,Janice Jardine ADMINISTRATIVE DEPT. Community Development Department,Planning Division AND CONTACT PERSON: Doug Dansie, Senior Planner KEY ELEMENTS: A. In November 2009, Mayor Becker initiated a petition for the purpose of amending the Salt Lake City Zoning Ordinance to encourage practices of sustainable living. The City hired Clarion Associates as a consultant on the project,with the goal of creating appropriate zoning,subdivision and site development regulations that will establish Salt Lake City as a sustainable community. A portion of those regulations pertains to water conserving landscaping and tree protection. B. An ordinance has been prepared for Council consideration that would change zoning regulations relating to water efficient landscaping and tree protection. A copy of the legislative version of the ordinance has been brought forward and attached at the end of this staff report for Council Member's reference and to provide context.(Attachment A) The proposed changes are fairly extensive. Key elements of the proposed changes are: 1. Reducing water consumption through grouping plants with similar watering needs together and insuring efficiencies in the irrigation system design upon installation. 2. Requiring the protection of existing trees in the landscaping when designing large projects. (This does not affect single-family homes or small projects.) 3. Removing the limitation on vegetable plants over twenty four inches in landscape yards. 4. New definitions will be added specific to the proposed regulations. C. "The Salt Lake City Irrigation and Landscape Design Manual"and the"Salt Lake City Plant and Turf Guide"are referenced throughout the ordinance. The documents will not be included in the zoning ordinance. (This is similar to the existing plant list used by the City and the Transit Station Area guidelines. They are referenced but not codified in City Code.)Public Utilities has indicated that the Manual and Guide are both incomplete and they are working to finish the manuals, including a public review process. (A draft of the Salt Lake City Irrigation and Landscape Design Manual, along with a draft of the Salt Lake City Plant and Turf Guide are attached at the end of this document. See attachments B and C). D. The Administration has requested an opportunity to conduct peer reviews of the Manual and the Plant List, in order that both documents might reflect the most recent best management practices,methodologies,and technologies. This process could be completed by March 31, 2011. 1 1. This peer review will involve region and national experts in landscape design,plants,turf grasses, irrigation design,and overall maintenance and management aspects.Appropriate city staff will also be included in the peer review. 2. The drafting of these two documents is under the direction of the Department of Public Utilities,in conjunction with the Planning Department and the supervision of Stephanie Duer,Water Conservation Program Coordinator. The Administration indicates: a. The Salt Lake City Irrigation and Landscape Design Manual provides information pertaining to best management practices that enhance the efficiency of water use and reduce or eliminate water waste in the landscape,through accepted and improved practices in landscape design,plant selection and placement,irrigation design,and the installation,maintenance,and management of those processes.The practices and standards range in nature from recommendations to requirements. b. The manual is intended to increase water efficiency and reduce water waste in landscape settings by providing guidance for the planning,execution,and commissioning of landscapes. The Manual identifies best management practices and establishes standards in two distinct aspects of outdoor water use: landscapes and irrigation.Further,the Manual addresses these two aspects through the phases of design,installation,maintenance,and management. c. The Salt Lake City Plant List(currently the Salt Lake City Water-wise Plant List)identifies nearly 300 plants that are ideally suited for the regions summer and winter climate,and provide options for a lower water-demanding plant palette.The current list organizes the plants into six function-based categories: Vines and Groundcovers;Ornamental Grasses;Herbaceous Perennials;Deciduous and Evergreen Shrubs;Deciduous Trees;and Evergreen Trees.This aspect will be continued in the planned revision. E. The Administration's transmittal and planning staff report provides findings of fact that support the criteria established in the City's Zoning Ordinance,Sec.21A.50.050-Standards for General Zoning Amendments. (Please refer to the Planning staff report for specific findings of fact and discussion of compliance with individual standards,pages 3-4.) F. The City's Departments and Divisions have reviewed the request. 1) Public Utilities Division noted a few concerns pertaining to the draft ordinance. Their comments were 111 incorporated into the final draft of the ordinance. 2) Transportation noted the water section indicates no impact to the public transportation corridors and the Tree section notes exemption for Driveways,Roads and Public Safety issues. 3) The Fire Department had no objections. G. Public Process: The project was presented at an open house on September 16,2010.No public comments were received. H. The Planning Commission held a briefing on October 27 and a Public Hearing on November 10,2010. The Planning Commission forwarded a positive recommendation to the Council;the vote was eight in favor,one opposed and one abstention. • One Commissioner expressed concern that the plant list would be too limited and that some plants traditionally grown in Utah might be excluded from the list. o Administrative staff responded that the plant list was developed over a number of years with input from several groups including garden associations like Red Butte Gardens. The list now includes over 56 pages and 20%of the landscape is allowed to have plant types which are not on the list. 2 MATTERS AT ISSUE/POTENTIAL QUESTIONS FOR THE ADMINISTRATION: A. The Council may wish to delay holding a public hearing until completion of the"Salt Lake City Irrigation and Land and Landscape Design Manual"and the"Salt Lake City Plant and Turf Guide" by the Administration.(Please see items B and C under Key Elements.) B. The Council may wish to discuss with the Administration the rational for removing the limitation on vegetable plants to a maximum height of twenty four inches. 1. During the July 6,2007 discussion,Council Member Love requested the ordinance include a provision to limit the height of vegetable plants to a maximum of 24 inches. 2. The Council may wish to clarify whether the City's standard to height regulations will be used in front/corner yard areas. C. The Council may wish to discuss with the Administration whether the proposed regulations will necessitate an increase in staffing and resources. The ordinance will require an increase in inspection and enforcement activity. MASTER PLAN AND POLICY CONSIDERATIONS: A. The Administration's paperwork and Planning staff report note: 1. The proposed text changes mirror current trends in community sustainability,by encouraging landscaping practices that are compatible with the semi-arid climate and also protecting mature trees that contribute to the character of the City,provide shade,reduce the heat island effect and reduce the need for the amount of resources used for heating and cooling buildings. 2. The City's Community Master Plans express urban and conservation concepts that promote aesthetic qualities to create a sense of visual unity with urban environments,encourage conservation of natural resources,and the development of tools,strategies and educational programs that facilitate these concepts. • Additional citywide Master Plan and Policy considerations are provided below. B. The City's Strategic Plan and the Futures Commission Report express concepts such as maintaining a prominent sustainable city,ensuring the City is designed to the highest aesthetic standards and is pedestrian friendly,convenient,and inviting,but not at the expense of minimizing environmental stewardship or neighborhood vitality. The Plans emphasize placing a high priority on maintaining and developing new affordable residential housing in attractive,friendly,safe environments and creating attractive conditions for business expansion including retention and attraction of large and small businesses. C. The Council's growth policy notes that growth in Salt Lake City will be deemed the most desirable if it meets the following criteria: 1. Is aesthetically pleasing; 2. Contributes to a livable community environment; 3. Yields no negative net fiscal impact unless an overriding public purpose is served;and 4. Forestalls negative impacts associated with inactivity. D. The City's 1990 Urban Design Element includes statements that emphasize preserving the City's image, neighborhood character and maintaining livability while being sensitive to social and economic realities. Policy concepts include: 1. Allow individual districts to develop in response to their unique characteristics within the overall urban design scheme for the city. 2. Ensure that land uses make a positive contribution to neighborhood improvement and stability. 3. Ensure that building restoration and new construction enhance district character. 3 4. Require private development efforts to be compatible with urban design policies of the city regardless of whether city financial assistance is provided. 5. Treat building height, scale and character as significant features of a district's image. 6. Ensure that features of building design such as color,detail,materials and scale are responsive to district character,neighboring buildings,and the pedestrian.

Essential to effective tree protection is the understanding of tree growth requirements having to do with space, water, and soil quality needs, among other qualities. Good, early planning, site design, and construction management practices are key to allowing trees to prosper. Preconstruction planning and mitigation of potential impacts that development may have on trees is necessary and one of the purposes of this section. Numerous community and personal benefits arise from the presence of trees in urbanized areas - both on residential and non-residential lands- and it is the intent of this section through the protection of the trees to: 1. Enhance the quality of life in the city and protect public heath_and.safety: 2. Preserve and enhance the visual and aesthetic qualities of the city; 3. Enhance public and private property for greater enjoyment and usability due to the shade,cooling, and the aesthetic beauty afforded by trees; 4. Protect and improve the real estate values of the city; 5. Preserve and enhance air and water quality; 6. Reduce noise, glare, dust, and heat, and moderate climate, including urban heat island effect; 7. Increase slope stability, and control erosiomand sediment run-off into streams and waterways; 8. Protect the natural habitat and ecosystems of the city; 9. Conserve energy by reducing heating and cooling costs; and 10. Preserve the function of mature trees to absorb greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide. A. APPLICABILITY 1.

"Specimen tree"shall mean a structurally sound mature tree,native or introduced. that is characteristic of the species;with space and essential requirements for its growth both above and below ground compatible with existing and proposed site conditions;whose future vitality can be reasonably expected and maintained with proper protection and regularly scheduled care; whose contributions to carbon sequestration,shade footprint,soil permeability,and aesthetics is high;and whose absence from the landscape would significantly alter the site's appearance, character or history.See Tree Protection Appendix A for listing of species,sizes, and conditions that are likely specimen trees. 4. "Tree protection area" is the area of a development site that includes the area located within the drip line of specimen trees and also includes the area that supports tree health requirements and interactions as determined by the Urban Forester. D. STANDARDS l. Preservation of Specimen Trees Specimen trees shall be preserved to the maximum extent practicable as determined by the Zoning Administrator in consultation with the Urban Forester, unless exempted pursuant to Section C. Exemptions. In determining if preservation is impracticable, the city shall consider the following criteria, including but not limited to: a. Whether an alternative location or configuration of the development including elements such as parking or structures on the site would be feasible to accomplish tree preservation,without negatively impacting adjacent properties b. Whether preservation of the specimen tree would render all permitted development on the property infeasible,or c. If development of the property will provide significant community benefits that outweigh tree preservation. 2. Cutting, Removal ,or Harm Prohibited Specimen trees shall not be cut,removed,pushed over, killed,or otherwise ,, harmed unless approved to Section D.1,above. • a. Paving,Fill.Excavation,or Soil Compaction Prohibited The tree protection area of any protected specimen tree shall not be subjected to paving, filling, excavation,or soil compaction. 3. Mitigation Where the city determines it is not practicable to preserve a specimen tree on the development site, the following mitigation provisions shall apply. a. Replacement Tree Required Two caliper inches of replacement trees shall be provided for each caliper of specimen tree removed(For example,if a 24"caliper specimen tree is removed, it must be replaced with at least 24 trees of a minimum 2"caliper or eight trees with a 6"caliper). Each replacement tree shall be a minimum of two caliper inches,and shall either be replanted prior to certificate of occupancy or within a conditional timeframe as approved by the Zoning Administrator in consultation with the Urban Forester. Replacement trees shall not be used to meet any other landscape requirements,but be in addition to such requirements.

Landscape General Conservation Practices It is common knowledge that we live in an arid climate and the irrigation of landscapes will always be part of our urban environment. Shade trees, shrubbery, flowers, and vegetables help to make our homes and communities not only enjoyable, but sustainable. Select Appropriate Plants Select plants with lower water demands, increased disease and pest resistance, salt tolerance, and that are adaptive to our dry summers and winters. Group plants with similar water needs. From a water-conservation standpoint, and a horticultural one, this approach makes sense. When plants need to be watered at the same frequency and for the same length 9of time are grouped together, an irrigation line or valve can be dedicated to that grouping, delivering what the plants need and no more. This is called hydro-zoning. Irrigate Efficiently and Effectively To be most efficient, the type of irrigation delivery method used needs to match the situation, the soil, and the plants. While drip and micro emitters may seem the best choice to lessen water waste, they are not the best solution in every instance. Also, when plants are hydro-zoned, the best delivery method for each plant grouping may be used. Plant trees Plants under trees generally require less water because the shade lowers air and soil temperatures, reducing moisture loss. This is especially true for many turf grasses and groundcovers. People are also cooler under trees, and properly placed trees and reduce air- conditioning costs up to 40 percent(Southern California Edison). Improve soil and add mulch Adding organic material to garden soil improves its texture, enabling water to more through the soil profile but not so fast that plants can't take advantage of available water. 3 to 4 inches worked into the top 12 to 18 inches can make a big difference. And work the entire area to be planted, not just the holes dug for plants. That way, as the plant grows it will be able to take advantage of the improved soil. Maintaining a mulch of 3 to 4 inches helps conserve water by lowering soil temperature, reducing evaporation, and inhibiting weeds. While it is true that many of our Utah native plants prefer poorer soils, most urban sites have soils that are unnaturally compacted due to construction, and loosening the soil for these plants may help them in establishing. Select mulch type for the plant grouping: desert plants prefer small rock or sand, while other plants prefer plant-based mulches Avoid the use of plastic and fiber barriers Placing plastic sheeting under mulch layers, whether rock or plant-based, prevents water and air penetration into the soil and increases run-off and is prohibited. The use of fiber cloth is discouraged as, even though it is designed to allow the transfer of water and air into Page 5 of 40 January 11, 2011 Salt Lake City Landscape and Irrigation Manual Draft for Peer Review the soil, use of such products can slow that movement and negatively affect plant and soil health Installation • Installation of plants shall be in accordance with SLC Planning Guidelines. Other considerations follow: • If soil is to be amended, organic or engineered material should be incorporated into entire planting area, to a depth of 12 inches. • Root balls should be roughed in a manner to encourage roots to grow into indigenous soil. Burlap and wire containments shall be completed removed. • Backfilling shall occur with indigenous soils or indigenous soils mixed with amending medium. • Plants shall be placed in planting holes such that the top of the plant's root ball is above the soil plane. Perennials and other plants in gallon or smaller containers can be up to 'h to 1 inch above grade; shrubs and trees in 1 to 5 gallon containers can be up to 2 inches above grade; plants in containers larger than 5 gallons or BB can be as high as 4 inches above grade. Am* • Mulch shall be placed around plants and in areas between plants to a depth of 4 inches, but not placed against trucks and bases of plants. Maintenance Landscape plants and mulch shall be maintained in a manner that supports and encourages root establishment, optimizes the shape and form of selected plants, discourages diseases and pests, and controls weeds. Management Just as buildings are managed to ensure continued good function and utility, landscapes, too, need to be managed to ensure that they continue to function as intended. Whereas maintenance addresses daily needs such as mowing or pruning, management needs to take the users into consideration. Landscape Design Specifications and Best Management Practices Landscapes can be designed in such a way as to encourage the reduction of water demand and to lessen or even eliminate water waste. These practices might include the size and placement of planting areas; the selection and placement of specific plants; and other practices. gym: Page 6 of 40 January 11, 2011 Salt Lake City Landscape and Irrigation Manual Draft for Peer Review a Table 4.1 Recommendations/Requirements Table Action Minimum/Required Better Best Hydrozone Plants must be grouped Avoid plants ih "oasis" Utilize plants in plants together in distinct zone Zones 1 —3 irrigation zones based on their water demand (ref.

Irrigation Efficiency Typically, half of irrigation water can be wasted as a result of evaporation, wind, improper system design, and overwatering. Selecting efficient irrigation systems, planting vegetation appropriate for site conditions and climate, and using captured rainwater or graywater can reduce water waste and conserve sources of potable water. Irrigation System Design Standards 1)All irrigation systems shall be designed to avoid runoff onto hardscape from low head drainage, overspray, and other similar conditions where water flows onto adjacent property, non-irrigated areas, walks, roadways, or structures. 2)The irrigation system shall be automatic, constructed to discourage vandalism, and simple to maintain. 3)All equipment shall be of proven design with local service available. 4) Control valves should be rated at 200 PSI. I5 6)All heads should have a minimum number of wearing pieces with an extended life cycle. 7) Lawn and shrub sprayheads shall be set back from hardscape a minimum of 18 inches.

Backflow Prevention Backflow preventers are used to protect the culinary water system from contamination hazards inherent in irrigation systems and are required by state regulations (see Utah Plumbing Code- IPC 2009 edition, as amended and Salt Lake City Ordinances Chapter 21A.26). For backflow prevention purposes there are two general categories or types of irrigation systems utilizing backflow prevention devices and assemblies: , first, plans utilizing culinary water only, and second, plans utilizing both culinary and non-potable water for irrigation. Other systems utilizing solely non-potable water require no backflow protection. Culinary water as a sole source: Irrigation systems utilizing culinary water have four options for backflow protection of which three are commonly used. The first and preferred method is to install atmospheric vacuum breakers (AVB), one per zone downstream of the control valve for each zone and at an elevation at least six (6) inches higher than the highest sprinkler head on the system. This is the least expensive backflow preventer of the four but requires one AVB per zone. This type of backflow protection requires no annual testing which is an advantage because of no ongoing costs (See Diagram 1.1). The second option is the pressure vacuum breaker(PVB) installation including another variation called the spill-resistant vacuum breaker(SVB) . The PVB and SVB can be used interchangeably. The PVB or SVB backflow preventer is more expensive than the AVB mentioned above, but can be installed ahead of all zones of the system. However, it must be installed at least twelve (12) inches above the ground and twelve inches above the highest sprinkler head of the entire system. This valve is required to be tested at least annually, or oftener as required by the Department of Public Utilities. (See diagram 1.2). The third option is to install a reduced pressure backflow preventer(RP). An RP can also be installed ahead of all zones of an irrigation system. It must also be installed where it is not subject to flooding and at least twelve (12) inches above the surrounding ground but does not have to be above the highest head of the irrigation system. It is the most expensive of the other three types and is also required to be tested at least annually, or oftener as required by the Department of Public Utilities. . Chemical addition such as fertilizers or pesticides may only be injected or pumped into an irrigation system downstream of an RP. (See diagram 1.3). The fourth option is the installation of an air-gap (AG)tank. Pumping is required because city water pressure is lost through the air-gap. This type of system is one of the most expensive to install and operate since electrical connections must be made and pumps must be maintained. Chemical addition such as fertilizers or pesticides may only be injected or pumped into an irrigation system downstream of the air-gap tank or added to the air-gap tank. This type of backflow prevention is rarely, if ever used for irrigation systems utilizing culinary water as a sole Source (See diagram 1.4 for installation requirements). Culinary water as a supplementary source to other non-potable sources: This type of installation requires either an air-gap tank as outlined in diagram 1.5 or an RP as outlined in diagram 1.6. A disadvantage to the RP installation is the annual or more often testing requirement and the requirement to disconnect the potable water source downstream of the RP whenever the non-potable source is being used. (See Utah Code Annotated 19-4-112, (d)). Page 11 of 40 January 11, 2011 Salt Lake City Landscape and Irrigation Manual Draft for Peer Review Testing: Annual or oftener testing is required for the PVB/SVB and RP types of backflow prevention installations (see section 312.10 of the Utah Plumbing code (IPC 2009 edition, as amended) and in the Utah Public Drinking Water Regulations section 309-105-12 (4). The Department of Public Utilities will usually notify each customer at least annually when testing is due. Testing must be accomplished by a currently certified backflow assembly technician. A list of the currently certified technicians or testers is available from the Utah State Department of Environmental Quality web site (drinkingwater.utah.gov/documents/compliance/backflow technicians_by_name.pdf). Testing costs for testing the two testable types: a). PVB/SVB; and b). RP; currently range anywhere from $50.00 to $150.00 per test. Failure, to complete the required test will require the termination of water service to the premises as stated in the Utah Public Drinking Water Regulations section 309-105-12 (1). Submittals: Backflow Prevention Plans: Irrigation systems utilizing culinary water either alone or in tandem with non-potable water must state the type of system being proposed on the plan documents, including the type of backflow prevention devices, and their location and an outline of the sprinkler zones being supplied water from the backflow prevention devices. Besides the items mentioned in the proposed ordinance the following information should be included on the submittal: a). General site information, including the location of all culinary water services to the property. b).

Maximum Applied Water Allowance(MAWA) The project's Maximum Applied Water Allowance shall be calculated using this equation: MAWA=(ETo)(0.62) [(0.7 x LA)+(0.3 x SLA)] where: MAWA = Maximum Applied Water Allowance(gallons per year) ETo = Reference Evapotranspiration from Appendix A(inches per year) 0.7 = ET Adjustment Factor(ETAF) LA = Landscaped Area includes Special Landscape Area(square feet) 0.62 = Conversion factor(to gallons per square foot) SLA = Portion of the landscape area identified as Special Landscape Area(square feet) 0.3 =the additional ET Adjustment Factor for Special Landscape Area(1.0-0.7 =0.3) Maximum Applied Water Allowance = gallons per year Show calculations. Effective Precipitation (Eppt) If considering Effective Precipitation, use 25%of annual precipitation. Use the following equation to calculate Maximum Applied Water Allowance: MAWA=(ETo—Eppt)(0.62) [(0.7 x LA)+(0.3 x SLA)] Maximum Applied Water Allowance= gallons per year Show calculations.

Lawn Sprinkler& Irrigation System Winterization Most sprinkling system piping is not below frost levels and therefore a risk of freezing. Even if some water is drained from the system, the remaining water can freeze, expand and crack PVC piping. Even systems with Polyethylene piping, which is more flexible and can expand under pressure, can freeze and rupture the pipe walls when water is left inside the pipe. If water freezes in the backflow preventer or the ball valves it can cause internal damage or possible crack the device or valve. To minimize the risk of freezing, it is almost always necessary to"winterize" your irrigation system and backflow preventer. Below are some steps and methods used to winterizing your system. 1. Shut off the water to system at the main valve or stop-and-waste valve. 2. Depending on your system type and features, there are various methods to winterize the system. a. Automatic Drain Method-This method is used when there are automatic drains located at the end and low points of the irrigation piping. The drains will automatically be activated when the water supply(usually a stop and waste or a valve in the basement)to the system is turned off. The water pressure is what keeps the drains closed; when the pressure drops the drains open and drain water left in the piping. If you have a testable backflow preventer, we recommend you refer to the manufacturers guide to winterizing, but as a general guideline, open the test cocks to drain water within the device. Or, remove backflow all together for winter. We also recommend to keep ball valves turned to a 45 degree angle (when water is off to the valves)to avoid freezing within the ball valve. Depending on the location of the drain valves, there could be some water left in the piping, sprinklers, and backflow preventer b. Manual Drain Method-This method is used when there are manual valves located at the end and low points of the irrigation piping. This systems are drained by shutting off the irrigation supply(usually a stop and waste or a valve in the basement), and opening the manual drain valves. Remember to drain the line between the backflow preventer and the irrigation shut off. If you have a testable backflow preventer, we recommend you refer to the manufacturers guide to winterizing, but as a general guideline, open the test cocks to drain water within the device. Or, remove backflow all together for winter. We also recommend to keep ball valves turned to a 45 degree angle (when water is off to the valves)to avoid freezing within the ball valve. Depending on the location of Page 36 of 40 January 11, 2011 Salt Lake City Landscape and Irrigation Manual Draft for Peer Review the drain valves, there could be some water left in the piping, sprinklers, and backflow preventer. When all water is drained out of system, close all manual drain valves (See Diagram 1-7). c. "Blow Out" Method-The blow out method uses an air compressor to "blow out" the excess water from the system after the main valve to the irrigation system has been shut off. We recommend the shut off ball valves on the backflow preventer be shut off before the compressor is hooked up. Blowing high pressured air through the backflow preventer may cause damage to the device. So, on systems that have a testable backflow preventer assembly, the compressor should be attached downstream of the backflow preventer. Remember to drain or blow out the water between the main shut off and the backflow preventer too though. The"blow out" method is a little bit more comprehensive, so we recommend that a qualified licensed contractor be used with this method. General Backflow Preventer Winterization *For specific types and models, please see the manufacturer's manual for winterizing your backflow preventer. The manufactures manual may give specific instruction on winterizing. 1. Shut off the water to your sprinkler or irrigation system at the main valve or stop-and- waste. 2. Drain the water from the backflow preventer by opening the test cocks. (There are 4 test cocks on the side or top of your backflow preventer), to open them turn the little screw IA of a turn. 3. Turn the shut-off valves on both sides of the assembly to a 45 degree angle ('/ turn) so they are not completely closed or open. This will help from getting water trapped in the shut-off valve and freezing.*Remember to make sure the water between the main shut- off and the backflow preventer are drained. 4. (Optional) If your backflow preventer was installed with unions you can remove it and store it inside for the winter. After you take it off make sure you drain the water from both sides, open the test cocks and close the valves% turn. It may also be good to wrap it in a towel or old blanket. 5. (Optional) You can wrap the backflow preventer with old towels, blankets, or other insulation to further protect it from freezing. If properly winterized your backflow preventer should be able to survive the cold winter months. For more information contact Salt Lake City Department of Public Utilities.

Historically,residents and developers have enjoyed a generous water supply,thanks to the foresight of early settlers in the development of irrigation projects, and that water availability, coupled with a cultural predisposition toward a philosophy of landscape design unrestricted by water availability and an increasing population have lead to an increasing demand on the City's water resources. One way to reduce demand is to encourage landscape design that is sensitive to a limited water source and an arid, cool climate. In order to make the transition to more sustainable landscape patterns and still maintain Salt Lake's legacy as an"oasis in the desert", it is important to utilize native, naturalized, and adaptive plants capable of sustaining growth with limited supplementary water. Many of these plants are as aesthetically pleasing as more traditional landscape plants but have not been widely planted in the urban landscape because of limited availability and the public's unfamiliarity with the landscape potential of water-conserving plants. In April of 1995, Salt Lake City adopted a new Zoning Ordinance that established certain standards for landscaping and encouraged the use of"drought tolerant"plants. The intent of the drought-tolerant section of the Zoning Ordinance is to encourage sustainable design in all aspects of landscape planning, from residential and commercial,to public and institutional. The list of drought tolerant plants below is intended to introduce the wide variety of plants suitable for water-wise, sustainable landscapes in Salt Lake City, while fostering creativity in landscape design. In 2003, after five years of continuous drought,best management practices were developed to increase water efficiency in the landscape, incorporating new opportunities in irrigation technology,and identifying measurable water-use goals and practices. The plant list was also updated to reflect current availability and clarify species identification.Additionally, sections were added to create a quick reference guide to enhance ease of use to the consumer and to the planning staff enforcing related ordinances. It is our wish that through this reference guide,homeowners, contractors, developers, and city planners will come to recognize the value of climate-compatible landscapes and plants, encouraging more widespread use, fueling demand in the retail market,reducing the seasonal demand on Salt Lake City's water delivery system, and ensuring supplies of high quality drinking water for the future. Water-wise Plant List Salt Lake City Corp Page 1 of 50 Water-wise Landscape Program Water-wise landscapes begin, not with a plant list, but a comprehensive water-conserving landscape program that includes site analysis and planning, smart design, and efficient irrigation. In "Urban and Community Forestry, a Guide for the Interior Western United States", seven broad, fundamental, elements are described: 1. Analysis,Planning,and Design. The first step in creating a water-wise landscape is site analysis: identifying the specific characteristics of a site that contribute to its ecological nature and create its micro-climates. Site analysis identifies and catalogues such naturally occurring characteristics as sun,wind, and soil, as well as man-made characteristics such as structures and paving. Planning incorporates needs and uses,identifying how as space as a whole and its component areas is used. Design integrates analysis and planning to create a space that is both beautiful and sustainable. Plant selection can then take place, reflecting the ecological and physical realities of a place,along with the needs of those using or acting in the space, creating balance and enhancing our urban environment. 2. Soil Improvement. Urban soils do not always contain all the physical and chemical properties necessary for healthy plant growth and development. Soil improvements are often needed in order to correct poor water infiltration,percolation, and drainage, while still providing adequate water holding capacity and nutritional balance of the soil. When amending the soil, it is best to amend entire areas rather than individual holes. Additionally, when planting trees, it is best to not amend the soil unless the tree in being planted in a contained or confined space. Please note that if you are landscaping with native plants, soil amendments may not be necessary, and in fact, might be detrimental to long-term health of the plants.For many native plants,the only preparation necessary is to loosen the soil. Common soil amendments include compost,decomposed leaves or pine duff,manures, or utelite. 3. Efficient Irrigation. Matching the amount of water supplied to each plant with that plant's water requirement is the most efficient way to irrigate,and it is a good idea to plan the irrigation system at the same time as the landscape design. To eliminate waste from over-watering and runoff,plants should be grouped according to their water needs, and turf should be irrigated separately from other plantings. 4. Limit Turf Areas. Cool season turf grasses, such as Kentucky bluegrass and fescue,typically require 20 to 26 inches of supplemental water during the growing season to sustain a green, lush lawn. Turf should be limited in the landscape to areas consistent with core use patterns and should be irrigated separately from other plantings. In all other areas, drought tolerant or resistant species should be planted. Water use may also be reduced by replacing turf grass in high traffic areas not intended for play with patios, decks, gravel or other appropriate materials. Also,where possible, consider non-traditional turf species such as buffalo or blue grama grass, or non-turf plants such as thyme. Water-wise Plant List Salt Lake City Corp Page 2 of 50 5. Use of Mulch. The function of mulch is to buffer soils against climatic extremes. In summer, mulch reduces soil heating, slows water loss from evaporation, and reduces weed growth. In winter, mulch protects shallow roots from damage by preventing the daily freeze/thaw cycle and drying of soils. 6. Use of Low Water Demand Plants. Many beautiful and functional plants are available that thrive with natural precipitation or only small amounts of supplemental water. The availability of plants with low water requirements permits selecting for function, beauty, and seasonal interest.However, as with all plant selections and planting, care must be taken to match specific needs of plants to the environmental conditions and the intensity of human activity at the planting site. 7. Appropriate Maintenance. Low maintenance is not no-maintenance; a water-wise landscape still requires the extra care required of a more traditional landscape. Once plants fill in and establish, however,maintenance demands decrease,plants require less water, and weeds are crowded out. Many native and low water plants also require less fertilizer, and have fewer pest problems than more traditional landscape plants, adding to the decrease in maintenance demands. Integrating these seven elements in the planning, development, and maintenance of landscapes has been shown to conserve water and reduce annual maintenance costs without sacrificing function or beauty. The Plant List The following list of trees, shrubs,herbaceous perennials, ornamental grasses, vines, groundcovers, and annuals,has been compiled to serve as a guide to the public for selection of landscape plants that have low water requirements. It is also intended to aid Salt Lake City in the evaluation of landscape plans and,specifically,to clarify standards contained in Chapter 24 of the Salt Lake City Zoning Ordinance. While every effort has been made to make the list as comprehensive as possible, it should not be considered definitive. As additional information becomes available over time it is likely that plants may be added, or removed,from this list. To this end, input from individuals or organizations involved in the landscape industry, as well as members of the general public, is welcomed. Explanation of Column Headings Water Zones identify the minimum amount of water a plant needs in order to survive after it is established in the landscape. It should be understood that,while plants will survive with the amounts of water indicated, some plants may not maintain their best appearance without some additional water.Additionally, during periods of extended droughts, even xeric plants might benefit from periodic supplemental watering. It is assumed that the establishment period will be a minimum of two years during which more frequent supplemental water may be needed. Water zones, as used in this list,are defined as follows: Water-wise Plant List Salt Lake City Corp Page 3 of 50 0 No supplemental water is required after plants are established 1 At least 1 inch of supplemental water per month may be required after plants are established. 2 At least 1 inch of supplemental water every two weeks may be required after plants are established. Plants requiring more than 1 inch of supplemental water every two weeks are not considered"water conserving" or"drought tolerant"plants for the purposes of this list. Botanical name is the scientific name that identifies plants using a system called binomial nomenclature; that is,by grouping plants with more or less similar physical traits together through levels of classifications: genus, species,varieties, and cultivars. Each plant has only one botanical name,making it unique from any other plant, unlike common names,which may vary region to region. Botanical name has been abbreviated to include only the genus, species,and,if necessary,the variety; few cultivars or hybrids are named. The genus followed by • "sp." (singular), or"spp." (plural) indicates that there are several different species of a plant which all have similar characteristics. While a plant has only one botanical name it may have several common names. In compiling this list an attempt has been made to determine the most widely used common names. Mature size is considered to be the average size a plant could be expected to grow with proper care and the amount of water indicated. Actual size of a given plant at a given location may vary. Minimum size at planting is the size required by the Salt Lake City Zoning Ordinance, Chapter 24, for trees and shrubs that are planted for the purpose of establishing a visual screen. A blank in this column indicates that either there is no specific requirement or that a shrub is not generally used as a hedge or screen. When the terms "pot", "container", or"caliper"are used to describe minimum size at planting,the established American Standard for Nursery Stock shall apply. That is: • "All container grown (deciduous or conifer) shrubs shall be healthy, vigorous,well-rooted and established in the container in which they are sold. They shall have tops which are of good quality and are in a healthy growing condition." "An established container grown(deciduous or conifer) shrub shall be a(deciduous or conifer) shrub transplanted into a container and grown in that container sufficiently long for the new fibrous roots to have developed so that the root mass will retain its shape and hold together when removed from the container." • Container size may be converted to minimum height/spread as follows: Water-wise Plant List Salt Lake City Corp Page 4 of 50 2 gallon = 12"to 15"height or spread 5 gallon = 18"to 24"height or spread • "Caliper", for the purpose of this list, is defined as the diameter of the trunk measured 6 inches above ground level. Area Value is the area of the plant canopy.Using this number, a designer or planner can determine the total area comprised by a single plant grouping or an entire landscape. Specific spacing recommendations were not made on the list to allow for a more creative use of plants and to recognize that a plant might be used differently in various landscapes. If you are in need of guidelines to determine an appropriate average spacing of a plant on the list, consult the Height and Width column. To create a massed effect,place plants closer together so that branches overlap and mingle. For specimen plants, keep plants farther apart so that the plants form becomes distinct. For trees, a standard guide is to plant on centers equaling, or slightly smaller than the diameter. For long term health and sustainability of a landscape, allow plants adequate room to meet full growth without over crowding. The comments column contains qualifying statements and/or unique cultural requirements that affected the determination of water zones. This column has also been used to provide additional general information about a plant.

"Ecological restoration project" A project where the site is intentionally altered to establish a defined, indigenous, historic ecosystem. "Evapotranspiration (ET) Rate" The quantity of water evaporated from adjacent soil and other surfaces and transpired by plants during a specified time. Reference ET or ETo is a standard of measurement of environmental parameters that affect the water use of plants. ETo is expressed in inches of water per day, month, or year and is an estimate of the evapotranspiration of a large field of four-to-seven inch tall cool-season grass that is well-watered. Reference ET is used as a basis for determining the Maximum Applied Water Allowances. Reference ET for the Salt Lake City area is defined in the Salt Lake City Plant and Turf Guide. "Hydrozones" A portion of the landscaped area having plants with similar water needs. A hydrozone may be irrigated or non-irrigated. Hydrozones and applicable plants are further defined in the Salt Lake City Plant and Turf Guide. "Irrigation Audit" An in-depth evaluation of the,performance of an irrigation system that includes, but is not limited to an on-site inspection, system tune-up, system test with distribution uniformity or emission uniformity, reporting overspray or runoff that causes overland flow, and preparation of an irrigation schedule. "Low-Volume Irrigation" The application of irrigation water at low pressure through a system of tubing or lateral lines and low-volume emitters such as drip, drip lines, and bubblers. Low-volume irrigation systems are specifically designed to apply small volumes of water slowly at or near the root zone of plants. "Maximum extent practicable"shall mean no feasible or practical alternative exists, as determined by the Urban Forester, and all possible efforts to comply with the standards or regulations and minimize potential harmful or adverse impacts have been undertaken by the applicant. Economic considerations may be taken into account but shall not be the overriding factor in determining "maximum extent practicable." "Mulch" Any organic material such as leaves, bark, straw, compost or inorganic mineral materials such as rocks, gravel, and decomposed granite left loose and applied to the soil surface for the beneficial purposes of reducing evaporation, suppressing weeds, moderating soil temperature, and preventing soil erosion. "Overspray" Irrigation water that is delivered beyond the target landscaped area. "Rainwater harvesting" Collection of rainwater on site that is used or stored for landscape irrigation. "Reuse water" Treated or recycled waste water of a quality suitable for non-potable uses such as above-ground landscape irrigation and water features. This water is not intended or fit for human consumption. "Salt Lake City Irrigation and Landscape Design Manual" A manual published and maintained by the Salt Lake City Public Utilities Department establishing standards and practices to achieve water-use efficiencies in landscaping. "Salt Lake City Plant and Turf Guide" A guide published and maintained by the Salt Lake City Public Utilities Department setting forth appropriate plants and turf to be utilized in landscape plans and their associated hydrozones. "Soil amendment" Elements added to the soil, such as compost, peat moss, vermiculite, sand, or fertilizer, to improve its capacity to support plant life. "Specimen tree" shall mean a structurally sound mature tree, native or introduced, that is characteristic of the species; with space and essential requirements for its growth both above and below ground compatible with existing and proposed site conditions; whose future vitality can be reasonably expected and maintained with proper protection and regularly scheduled care; whose contributions to carbon sequestration,shade footprint, soil permeability, and aesthetics is high; and whose absence from the landscape would significantly alter the site's appearance, character or history. See Tree Protection Appendix A for listing of species, sizes, and conditions that are likely specimen trees. "Structured soil" A combination of amended soil and gravel that allows tree root development while providing the structural strength to hold the weight of hard surface treatments such as sidewalks or parking lot pavement. The specific mix of structural soil is determined by Salt Lake City engineering standards. "Temporarily irrigated area" Areas that are irrigated for a limitedperiod only after landscaping installation until plantings become established. "Tier 2 Water Target Allowance" The maximum allowed monthly and annual water use for a specific landscaped area based on the square footage of the area, the ETAF, and the reference ETO. "Treasured landscape" Landscapes associated with designated historic structures and sites, public gardens, and other notable sites and institutions as determined by the city that may be allowed a higher volume of water use. "Tree protection area" is the area of a development site that includes the area located within the drip line of specimen trees and also includes the area that supports tree health requirements and interactions as determined by the Urban Forester. "Turf" Grasses planted as a groundcover and mowed and maintained to be used as an area of landscaping. "Water budget" A target amount of water to be used per acre that is established by the public utilities director or his designee each year for each applicant subject to the provisions of this ordinance.

SECTION 3. Amending text of Salt Lake City Code section 21A.48 to adopt section 21A.48.135. That the Salt Lake City Code shall be, and hereby is, amended to adopt section 21A.48.135 (Zoning: Landscaping and Buffers: Tree Protection), which shall read as follows: 21A.48.135: TREE PROTECTION PURPOSE STATEMENT The purpose of these tree protection provisions is to recognize and protect the valuable asset embodied in the trees that exist on private lands within the city and ensure that the existing trees of Salt Lake City continue to provide benefit to its citizens. Essential to effective tree protection is the understanding of tree growth requirements having to do with space, water, and soil quality needs, among other qualities. Good, early planning, site design, and construction management practices are key to allowing trees to prosper. Preconstruction planning and mitigation of potential impacts that development may have on trees is necessary and one of the purposes of this section. Numerous community and personal benefits arise from the presence of trees in urbanized areas - both on residential and non-residential lands- and it is the intent of this section through the protection of the trees to: 1. Enhance the quality of life in the city and protect public heath and safety; 2. Preserve and enhance the visual and aesthetic qualities of the city; 3. Enhance public and private property for greater enjoyment and usability due to the shade, cooling, and the aesthetic beauty afforded by trees; 4. Protect and improve the real estate values of the city; 5. Preserve and enhance air and water quality; 6. Reduce noise, glare, dust, and heat, and moderate climate, including urban heat island effect; 7. Increase slope stability, and control erosion and sediment run-off into streams and waterways; , 8. Protect the natural habitat and ecosystems of the city; 9. Conserve energy by reducing heating and cooling costs; and 10. Preserve the function of mature trees to absorb greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide. A. APPLICABILITY 1. General The standards in this section shall apply to new development in the city unless exempted in accordance with Section C, Exemptions. The standards in this section shall apply at the time of a development application for"development" as defined in the zoning ordinance. 2. Other Regulations Ordinance No. 75 of 1988, the Salt Lake City Urban Forestry Ordinance, addressing the protection of trees located on public property owned by the city and in rights of way, shall remain in effect. B. EXEMPTIONS The following specimen tree removal activities are exempt from the standards of this section upon confirmation and approval by the Urban Forester: 1. The removal of dead, damaged, or naturally fallen trees, or in cases of community emergency; 2. When in conjunction with the construction of a single- or two-family residence not part of a proposed new subdivision; 3. The removal of trees on an existing legal lot when not associated with new development; 4. The removal of trees in such a condition that they pose a threat to structures or natural features on the site, on adjoining properties, or in the public right of way; 5. The removal of diseased trees posing a threat to adjacent trees; 6. The selective and limited removal of trees necessary to obtain clear visibility at driveways or intersections; 7. The removal of trees associated with development at the Salt Lake City Airport only as necessary to provide safe operations; 8. The removal of trees when required by the Urban Forester for the purposes of conflict with utilities or streets. C. DEFINITIONS 1. "Caliper" shall mean the dimension of the diameter of a tree trunk measured at a distance of 4' 6" from the ground. "Maximum extent practicable" shall mean no feasible or practical alternative exists, as determined by the Urban Forester, and all possible efforts to comply with the standards or regulations and minimize potential harmful or adverse impacts have been undertaken by the applicant. Economic considerations may be taken into account but shall not be the overriding factor in determining "maximum extent practicable." 3. "Specimen tree" shall mean a structurally sound mature tree, native or introduced, that is characteristic of the species; with space and essential requirements for its growth both above and below ground compatible with existing and proposed site conditions; whose future vitality can be reasonably expected and maintained with proper protection and regularly scheduled care; whose contributions to carbon sequestration, shade footprint, soil permeability, and aesthetics is high; and whose absence from the landscape would significantly alter the site's appearance, character or history. See Tree Protection Appendix A for listing of species, sizes, and conditions that are likely specimen trees. 4. "Tree protection area" is the area of a development site that includes the area located within the drip line of specimen trees and also includes the area that supports tree health requirements and interactions as determined by the Urban Forester. D. STANDARDS 1. Preservation of Specimen Trees Specimen trees shall be preserved to the maximum extent practicable as determined by the Zoning Administrator in consultation with the Urban Forester, unless exempted pursuant to Section C, Exemptions. In determining if preservation is impracticable, the city shall consider the following criteria, including but not limited to: a. Whether an alternative location or configuration of the development including elements such as parking or structures on the site would be feasible to accomplish tree preservation, without negatively impacting adjacent properties b. Whether preservation of the specimen tree would render all permitted development on the property infeasible, or c. If development of the property will provide significant community benefits that outweigh tree preservation. 2. Cutting, Removal , or Harm Prohibited Specimen trees shall not be cut, removed,pushed over, killed, or otherwise harmed unless approved to Section D.1,above. a. Paving, Fill, Excavation, or Soil Compaction Prohibited The tree protection area of any protected specimen tree shall not be subjected to paving, filling, excavation, or soil compaction. 3. Mitigation Where the city determines it is not practicable to preserve a specimen tree on the development site,the following mitigation provisions shall apply. a. Replacement Tree Required Two caliper inches of replacement trees shall be provided for each caliper of specimen tree removed (For example, if a 24" caliper specimen tree is removed, it must be replaced with at least 24 trees of a minimum 2"caliper or eight trees with a 6" caliper). Each replacement tree shall be a minimum of two caliper inches, and shall either be replanted prior to certificate of occupancy or within a conditional timeframe as approved by the Zoning Administrator in consultation with the Urban Forester. Replacement trees shall not be used to meet any other landscape requirements, but be in addition to such requirements. Replacement trees shall be planted on the lot or site where the specimen tree was removed except where the Zoning Administrator in consultation with the Urban Forester finds the following: The site does not provide for adequate landscape surface area to accommodate the total number of replacement trees; or (2) That due to unique soil types, topography, or unusual characteristics of the site, the likelihood of successful tree growth is diminished. In such cases, the applicant shall mitigate for the loss of the specimen tree in the form of payment to the city's tree fund as provided below. b. Cash In-Lieu Payment/Tree Fund Contribution Applicants who are permitted to remove a specimen tree but not plant a replacement tree on site shall make a cash in-lieu payment into the city's tree fund. c. Modification by Zoning Administrator The Zoning Administrator may modify any dimensional standard such as setbacks and height limits by up to 20%if such modification will result in preservation of a specimen tree. d. Landscape Credit Provided Any development that preserves a specimen tree shall be granted credit towards any required landscaping tree planting requirements pursuant to Chapter 21A.48 of the Zoning Ordinance,the Subdivision Code, and Site Development Ordinance on a 2:1 basis (2 inches of caliper credit for every inch of caliper preserved). E. SPECIMEN TREE PROTECTION DURING CONSTRUCTION t. Owner's Responsibility During construction, the applicant shall be responsible for the ongoing health of specimen trees located on the site. This includes basic tree maintenance and watering throughout the term of construction. The owner shall also ensure the erection of barriers necessary to protect any existing or installed specimen tree from damage during and after construction. 2. Tree Protection Fencing a. When Required Specimen trees shall be fenced in accordance with this subsection before any grading, excavating, or other land-disturbing activity begins on a construction site. Fencing shall protect the tree from excavation, fill, compaction, or other impacts that would threaten tree health. No construction, grading, equipment or material storage, or any other activity shall be allowed within the fenced area except in accordance with the standards in subsection 3, below, Encroachments into Tree Protection Areas and Root Zones. Fencing shall be maintained until the land disturbance activities are complete. The tree protection fencing shall be clearly shown on the required development applications such as a site plan, building permit, or grading permit application. b. Location Fencing shall extend at least one foot in distance from the edge of the drip line of a specimen tree or group of specimen trees. c. Type of Fencing The developer shall erect a plastic mesh or chain link fence a minimum of four feet in height at the drip line around each specimen tree or group of specimen trees. Such fencing shall be secured to withstand construction activity and weather on the site and maintained in a functional condition. d. Inspection All tree protection measures shall be inspected and approved by the Urban Forester prior to the commencement of any land disturbing activities. 3. Encroachments Into Tree Protection Areas and Root Zones Encroachments into a tree protection area or within the root zones of trees protected in accordance with this subsection shall occur only in rare instances. If such encroachment is anticipated,the following preventative measures shall be employed prior to the action: a. Arborist Report Written verification is prepared by a certified arborist of the tree's condition before and after encroachment, including preventative measures that shall be employed prior to, during, and after the encroachment to insure the viability of the tree. b. Soil Compaction Where compaction might occur due to planned, temporary traffic through or materials placed within the protection area,the area shall first be mulched with a minimum four-inch layer of wood chips or a six-inch layer of pine straw. Plywood sheet or metal plate coverage of the impacted area may be accepted by the Urban Forester when high moisture conditions warrant. Equipment or materials storage shall not be allowed with the tree protection zone. c. Grade Changes Grade changes that alter existing conditions of soil moisture content; historic drainage patterns; and/or diffusion of atmospheric gases entering and exiting the soil profile can injure and/or kill trees. In the event proposed site development requires soil elevation changes tree protection measures designed to mitigate harm to the tree(s) shall be coordinated with the Zoning Administrator and Urban Forester. d. Construction Debris/Effluent In no instance shall any debris or effluent associated with the construction process, including equipment or vehicle washing, concrete mixing,pouring, or rinsing processes, drain onto lands within tree protection areas. F. MAINTENANCE Any new trees used to replace specimen trees shall be maintained in a healthy condition and cared for pursuant to the standards of the City Forester. If in the opinion of the city, replacement trees show signs of decline or mortality within the first two years of planting, they shall be replaced by the applicant. a REMOVAL PRIOR TO DEVELOPMENT If a specimen tree is removed from a site within two years prior to any development application on the site by the applicant or someone associated with the applicant, the applicant shall mitigate for such removal on a 3:1 caliper basis pursuant to the Provisions of Section E.3 above. H. ENFORCEMENT These tree protection provisions shall be subject to the zoning and development enforcement codes as adopted by the city. SECTION 4. Amending text of Salt Lake City Code section 21A.48.090. That section 21A.48.090 of the Salt Lake City Code (Zoning: Landscaping and Buffers: Landscape Yards), shall be, and hereby is, amended to read as follows: 21A.48.090: LANDSCAPE YARDS: Landscape yards are yards devoted exclusively to landscaping except, however, that driveways and sidewalks needed to serve the use and buildings on the lot may be located within a required landscape yard. As used in this chapter, the term "landscaping" shall be defined as set forth in section 21A.62.040, "Definitions", of this title. No specific improvements are required within landscape yards, except that all landscape areas shall be maintained with at least one-third (1/3) of the yard(s) area covered by vegetation, which may include trees, shrubs, grasses, annual or perennial plants and vegetable plants. Vegetable lants shell be 1:.. ite.7 to a maximum 1,eig t of twenty f u nches (21") vbvawvav Yaauaw ..aawaa vv aaaau was w M lal{4llaala wal aava Mulches such as organic mulch, gravel,rocks and boulders shall be a minimum depth of three inches (3") or more, dependent on the material used,to control weeds and erosion in unplanted areas and between plants, and that these aforementioned items at all times cover any installed weed block barriers that cover the ground surface. SECTION 5. Effective Date. This ordinance shall become effective on the date of its first publication. Passed by the City Council of Salt Lake City, Utah, this day of 2011.

STAFF CONTACTS: Doug Dansie, Senior Planner, at 535-6182 or doug.dansie@slcgov.com RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council hold a briefing and schedule a Public Hearing DOCUMENT TYPE: Ordinance BUDGET IMPACT: None DISCUSSION: Issue Origin: Mayor Ralph Becker has initiated a request to amend the Salt Lake City Zoning Ordinance to include regulations promoting sustainable urban living. The proposed Sustainability Code Amendment project includes many aspects and this petition is focused on regulations to specifically encourage water conservation and also initiate protection for important trees. Analysis: In November 2009, Mayor Becker initiated a petition for the purpose of amending the Salt Lake City Zoning Ordinance to encourage practices of sustainable living. The City hired 451 SOUTH STATE STREET, ROOM 404 P.O. BOX 145486, SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH 84114-5486 TELEPHONE: SO1-535-6230 FAX: B01-535.6005 WWW.SLCGOV.COM/CED ♦ receve LCD rwaea Clarion Associates as a consultant on the project, with the goal of creating appropriate zoning, subdivision and site development regulations that will establish Salt Lake City as a sustainable community. A portion of those regulations pertains to water conserving landscaping and tree protection. The proposed text amendments focus on Chapter 21A.48 Landscaping and buffers. A definition for new terms is also included in Chapter 21A.62. The draft amendment does not include language regarding the collection of rainwater and reuse of grey water. These were removed until such time as State water rights law is clarified for rain collection and there are health standards set for grey water, which will prevent introduction of diseases, etc. into the ground water supply. Master Plan Considerations: The proposed text amendments mirror current trends in community sustainability, by encouraging landscaping practices that are compatible with the semi-arid climate and also protecting mature trees that contribute to the character of the City, provide shade, reduce the heat island effect and reduce the need for the amount used for heating and cooling of buildings. PUBLIC PROCESS: The project was presented at a community open house on September 16, 2010. The Planning Commission held a Briefing on October 27 and a Public Hearing on November 10, 2010. The Planning Commission passed a motion to forward a positive recommendation to the City Council for the text change, The vote was eight in favor; one opposed; one abstention. RELEVANT ORDINANCES: Amendments to the Zoning Ordinance and Maps are authorized under Section 21A.50 of the Salt Lake City Zoning Ordinance, as detailed in Section 21A.50.050: "A decision to amend the text of this title or the zoning map by general amendment is a matter committed to the legislative discretion of the City Council and is not controlled by any one standard." It does, however, list five standards, which should be analyzed prior to rezoning property (Section 21A.50.050 A-E). The five standards are discussed in detail starting on page 3 of the Planning Commission Staff Report(see Attachment 5b). RE: Petition PLNPCM2010-00322-Sustainability Page 2 of 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS 1.

Attachments A. Proposed Ordinance Changes B. Department Comments PLNPC\12009-013SS Sustainabilit\ —Water Conserving Landscaping and Tree Protection Published Date 11/4/2010 Background •ak In November 2009, Mayor Becker initiated a petition for the purpose of amending the Salt Lake City Zoning Ordinanc,,,,, . to encourage practices of sustainable living. The City hired Clarion Associates as a consultant on the project, with the goal of creating appropriate zoning, subdivision and site development regulations that will establish Salt Lake City as a sustainable community. A portion of those regulations pertains to water conserving landscaping and tree protection. The amendments for water conserving landscaping and tree protection are primarily incorporated into section 21A.48. Landscaping and Buffers Initial Summary Following are the concepts covered in this package of sustainability proposals: Water conservation: These changes focus on two major themes for reducing water consumption 1. Grouping plant of similar watering needs together in order to prevent unnecessary watering. 2. Insuring efficiencies in the irrigation system design upon installation, in order to insure that the correct amount of watering Tree protection: This acknowledges the importance of trees and requires the protection of existing trees in the landscaping when designing large projects. This does not affect single-family homes or small projects. Public Participation The proposed amendments were presented and available for review at an open house on September 16, 201 C"14114, No public comments were received. Between August and October of 2010, staff sought comments from numerous City departments and met with representatives from the Business Advisory Board to discuss the amendments. They have provided technical input regarding the proposed amendments. The comments were implemented in the proposed amendments and the most recent comments are included as Attachment B. Analysis The proposed text amendments focus on Chapter 21A.48 Landscaping and buffers. A definition for new terms is also included in Chapter 21A.62. The only significant variation from Clarion suggestions was the removal of language regarding the collection of rainwater and reuse of grey water. These were removed until such time as State water rights law is clarified for rain collection and there are health standards set for grey water, which will prevent introduction of diseases, etc. into the ground water supply. The proposed text amendments are outlined in Attachment A. The ordinance location precedes each section. Staff modification from the text provided by Clarion are illustrated in italics and underlined, deletions are struck through: PLNPCM2009-0138S Sustainability—Water Conserving Landscaping and Tree Protection Published Date 11/4/2010 -2- STANDARDS FOR GENERAL AMENDMENTS A decision to amend the text of the Zoning Ordinance or the Zoning Map by general amendment is a matter -ommitted to the legislative discretion of the City Council and is not controlled by any one standard. However, -n making its decision concerning a proposed amendment, the City Council should consider the following factors: 1. Whether a proposed text amendment is consistent with the purposes, goals, objectives, and policies of the City as stated through its various adopted planning documents; Analysis: The executive summary section of the City's Futures Commission Report of 1998 states, "Vibrant neighborhoods are fundamental to the health and vitality of the city and citizens, business owners, and local government each have a role to play in creating and sustaining ideal neighborhoods." Modifications to landscaping allows for more efficient landscaping, which is easier to maintain and more compatible with the climate. The Open Space Plan encourages the conservation of the natural environment. A modification to the landscaping ordinance encourages more climate appropriate landscaping and the tree protection ordinance encourages protection of trees as a natural resource. Finding: The proposed text change is consistent with adopted policy documents. 2. Whether a proposed text amendment furthers the specific purpose statements of the zoning ordinance. Analysis: Chapter 21A.02.030 of the Zoning Ordinance states: "PURPOSE AND INTENT: The purpose of this title is to promote the health, safety, morals, convenience, order, prosperity and welfare of the present and future inhabitants of Salt Lake City, to implement the adopted plans of the city, and to carry out the purposes of the municipal land use development and management act, title 10, chapter 9, of the Utah Code Annotated or its successor, and other relevant statutes. In addition, the title is intended to: a. Lessen congestion in the streets or roads; b. Secure safety from fire and other dangers; c. Provide adequate light and air; d. Classify land uses and distribute land development and utilization; e. Protect the tax base; f. Secure economy in governmental expenditures; g. Foster the city's industrial, business and residential development; and h. Protect the environment. (Ord. 26-95 § 2(1-3), 1995)" The proposed changes to the ordinance will further the purpose statement of the Zoning Ordinance by protecting the environment in various zones throughout the City. Specifically these uses are consistent with intent statement C (tree protection helps protect mature trees that reduce CO2 and promote cleaner air), F (reducing water use, particularly for irrigation, relegates the need to expand the water supply further into the future, allowing for a more sustainable financial investment), and H (landscaping that is more indigenous to the climate is easier to maintain and provides native wildlife habitat). PLNPCNI2009-01388 Sustainabilit) —Water Conserving Landscaping and Tree Protection Published Date 11/4/2010 Finding: Staff finds that the proposed changes to the Zoning Ordinance are consistent with the overall purpose of the Zoning Ordinance as stated in Chapter 21A.02.030. Amok 3. Whether a proposed text amendment is consistent with the purposes and provisions of any applical overlay zoning districts which may impose additional standards. Analysis: The proposed text amendments are city-wide and as such will affect properties within the Historic Preservation Overlay District: However the Historic Landmarks Commission is limited to exterior architecture and the Commission does not regulate or review landscaping. There is no inherent conflict between this ordinance and other overlay zones, such as transitional South State Street Overlay or Groundwater Protection. The tree ordinance has a specific exemption for conflicts n the Airport overlays. Finding: The proposed text amendment meets this standard. 4. The extent to which a proposed text amendment implements best current, professional practices of urban planning and design. Analysis: The proposed text amendments mirror current trends in community sustainability, by encouraging landscaping practices that are compatible with the semi-arid climate and also protecting mature trees that contribute to the character of the City, provide shade, reduce the heat island effect and reduce the need for the amount used for heating and cooling of buildings. Finding: The proposed text amendment implements the best current practices in urban planning and design.

Essential to effective tree protection is the understanding of tree growth requirements having to do with space, water, and soil quality needs, among other qualities. Good, early planning, site design, and construction management practices are key to allowing trees to prosper. Preconstruction planning and mitigation of potential impacts that development may have on trees is necessary and one of the purposes of this section. Numerous community and personal benefits arise from the presence of trees in urbanized areas - both on residential and non-residential lands- and it is the intent of this section through the protection of the trees to: 1 . Enhance the quality of life in the city and protect public heath and safety; 2. Preserve and enhance the visual and aesthetic qualities of the city; 3. Enhance public and re private property for greater enjoyment d usability ; � i P y an due li7 the shade, cooling, and the aesthetic beauty afforded by trees; it. Protect and improve the real estate values of the city; 5. Preserve and enhance air and water quality; 6. Reduce noise, glare, dust, and heat, and moderate climate, including urban heat island effect; 7. Increase slope stability, and control erosion and sediment run-off into streams and waterv.'ays; 3. Protect the natural habitat and ecosystems of the city; 9. Conserve energy by reducing{ heating and cooling, costs; and! 10. Preserve the function of mature trees to absorb greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide. P. APPLICABILITY .. Genera The standards in this section shall apply to new development in the city unless exempted in i Section accordance with C, Exemptions. 1'l1c? standards in this section shall apply at the time of C1 development application for "development" as defined in the zoning ordinance. 2. Other Regulations Ordinance No. 75 of 1988, the Salt Lake City Urban Forestry Ordinance, addressing the protection of tee: batted on public property owned by the city ouch in rights of way, shall remain in effect. B. EilEMP TOT S The following specimen activitiesaretj treeremoval exempt from the `.t%3n4.C:r'C::. of this section''Ctib'1 upon confirmation and approval by the Urban Forester: 1. The removal of dead, damaged, or naturally fallen trees, or in cases of community emergency; 2. When in conjunction with the construction of a single- or two-family residence not part of a proposed new subdivision; 3. The removal of trees on an existing legal lot when not associated with nce,% development; 4. The removal of trees in such a condition that they pose a threat to structures or natural features on the site, on adjoining properties, or in the public right of way; 5. The removal of diseased trees posing a threat to adjacent trees; 6. The selective and limited removal of trees necessary to obtain clear visibility at driveways or intersections; 7. The removal of trees associated with development at the Salt Lake City Airport only as necessary to provide safe operations; 8. The removal of trees when required by the Urban Forester for the purposes of conflict with utilities or streets. C. DEFINITIONS 1 . "Caliper" shall mean the dimension of the diameter of a tree trunk measured et a distance of 4' 6" from the ground. 2. "Maximum extent practicable" shall mean no feasible or practical alternative exists, as determined by the Urban Forester, and all possible efforts to comply with the standards or regulations and minimize potential harmful or adverse impacts have been undertaken by the applicant. Economic considerations may be taken into account but shall not be the overriding factor in determining "maximum extent practicable." 3. "Specimen tree" shall mean a structurally sound mature tree, native or introduced, that is characteristic of the species; with space and essential requirements for its growth both above and below ground compatible with existing and proposed site conditions; whose future vitality can be reasonably expected and maintained with proper protection and regularly scheduled care; whose contributions to carbon sequestration, shade footprint, soil permeability, and aesthetics is high; anti whose absence from the landscape would significantly alter the site's appearance, character or history. See Tree Protection Appendix A for listing of species, sizes, and conditions ".1141's "'hexwi4�0 that are likely specimen trees. ''free protection area" is the area of a development site that includes the area located within the e drip line of specimen trees and also includes the area that supports tree health requirements and interactions cis determined by the Urban Forester. D. S S A N .J A E L 1. Preservation of Specimen Trees Specimen trees shall be preserved to the maximum extent practicable cgs deternrinecl by the Zoning Administrator in consultation with the Urban Forester, unless exempted pursuant to Section C, Exemnpl ons. In determining if preservation is impracticable, the city shall consider the following criteria, inducting but not limited to: c.. Whether an alternative location or configuration of the development including elements such as parking or structures on the site would be feasible to accomplish tft'e preservation, v,li'I<7ut negatively impacting adjacent properties b. Whether preservation of the specimen tree would render all permitted do:veloprhient on the property infeasible, or c. If development of the property will provide significant community benefits that outweigh tree preservation. Amiek 2. Cuffing, Removal , or Harm Prohibited Specimen trees shall not be cut, removed, pushed over, killed, or otherwise harmed unless approved to Section E.1, above. a. Paving, Fill, Excavation, or Soil Compaction Prohibited The tree protection area of any protected specimen tree shall not be subjected to paving, filling, excavation, or soil compaction. 3. Mitigation Where the city determines it is not practicable to preserve a specimen tree on the development site, the following mitigation provisions shall apply. a. Replacement Tree Required Two caliper inches of replacement trees shall be provided for each caliper of specimen tree removed (For example, if a 24" caliper specimen tree is removed, it must be replaced with at least 24 trees of a minimum 2" caliper or eight trees with a 6" caliper). Each replacement tree shall be a minimum of two caliper inches, and shall either be replanted prior to certificate of occupancy or within a conditional timeframe as approved by the Zoning Administrator in consultation with the Urban Forester. Replacement trees shall not be used to meet any other landscape requirements, but he in addition to such requirements. Replacement trees shall be planted on the lot or site where the specimen tree was removed except where the Zoning Administrator in consultation with the Urban Forester finds the following: (I) The site does not provide for adequate landscape surface area to accommodate the total number of replacement trees; or That due to uniquesite,soil types, topography, or unusual characteristics of the the likohhood of successful tree growth is diminished. In such cases, the applicant shall mitigate for the loss of the specimen tree in the form of payment to the city's tree fund as provided below. b. Cash in-Lici Payment /Tree Fund Contribution Applicants who are permitted to remove a specimen tree but not plant a replacement tree on site shall make a cash in-lieu payment into the city's tree fund. a. Modification by Zoning Administrator The Zoning Administrator may modify any dimensional standard such as setbacks and height limits by up to 2O: if such modification will result in pteservction of a specimen tree. d. Landscape Credit Provided Any development that preserves a specimen tree shall be granted credit towards any required landscaping tree planting requirements pursuant to Chapter 21 A.48 of the Zoning Ordinance, the Subdivision Code, and Site Development Ordinance on a 2:1 basis (2 inches of caliper credit for every inch of caliper preserved). E. SPECIMEN TREE PROTECTION DURING CONSTRUCTION 1. Owner's Responsibility Duriilct construction, the applicant shall be responsible for the ongoing health of specimen trees located on the site. This includes basic tree maintenance and watering throughout the term of construction. The owner shall also ensure the erection of barriers necessary to protect any existing or installed specimen tree from damage during and after construction. 2. Tree Protection Fencing a. When Required Specimen trees shall be fenced in accordance with this subsection before any grading, 'Is% excavating, or other land-disturbing activity begins on a construction site. Fencing shall protect the tree from excavation, fill, compaction, or other impacts that would threaten tree health. No construction, grading, equipment or material storage, or any other activity shall be allowed within the fenced area except in accordance with the standards in subsection 3, below, Encroachments into Tree Protection Areas and Root Zones. Fencing shall be maintained until the land disturbance activities are complete. The tree protection fencing shall be clearly shown on the required development applications such as a site plan, building permit, or grading permit application. b. Location Fencing shall extend at least one foot in distance from the edge of the drip line of a specimen tree or group of specimen trees. c. Type of Fencing The developer shall erect a plastic mesh or chain link fence a minimum of four feet in height at the drip line around each specimen tree or group of specimen trees. Such fencing shall be secured to withstand construction activity and weather on the site and maintained in a functional condition. d. Inspection All tree protection measures shall be inspected and approved by the Urban Forester prior to the commencement of any land disturbing activities. 3. Encroachments Into Tree Protection Areas and Root Zones Encroachments into a tree protection area or within the root zones of trees protected in accordance with this se section shall occur only in rare instances. If such encroachment is anticipated, the following preventative measures shall be employed prior to the action: Za. Arborist Report Written verification is prepared by a certified arborist of the tree's condition before and after encroachment, including preventative measures that shall be employed prior to, during, and after the encroachment to insure the viability of the tree. b. Soil Compaction Where: compaction might occur due to planned, temporary traffic through or materials placed within the protection area, the area shall first be mulched with a minimum four-inch layer of wood chips or a six-inch layer of pine straw. Plywood sheet or metal plate coverage of the impacted area may be accepted by the Urban Forester when high moisture conditions warrant. Equipment or materials storage shall not be allowed with the tree protection zone. ir..

Construction Debris/Effluent in no instance shall any debris or effluent associated with the construction process, including equipment or vehicle washing, concrete mixing, pouring, or rinsing processes, drain onto lands within tree protection areas. F. MAINTENANCE Any new trees used to replace specimen trees shall be maintained in a healthy condition and cared for ursuant to the standards of the City Forester contained in Appendix B. If in the opinion of the city, replacement trees show signs of decline or mortality within the first two years of planting, they shall be replaced by the applicant. G. REMOVAL PRIOR TO DEVELOPMENT If a specimen tree is removed from a site within two years prior to any development application on the site by the applicant or someone associated with the applicant, the applicant shall mitigate for such removal on a 3:1 caliper basis pursuant to the provisions of Section E.3 above. H. ENFORCEMENT These tree protection provisions shall be subject to the zoning and development enforcement codes as adopted by the city. Modification to Chapter 21 A.48 — LANDSCAPING AND BUFFERS 21A.48.090: LANDSCAPE YARDS: Landscape yards are yards devoted exclusively to landscaping except, however, that driveways and sidewalks needed to serve the use and buildings on the lot may be located within a required landscape yard. As used in this chapter, the term "landscaping" shall be defined as set forth in section 21A.62.040, "Definitions", of this title. No specific improvements are required within landscape yards, except that all landscape areas shall be maintained with at least one-third (1/3) of the yard(s) area covered by vegetation, which may include trees, shrubs, grasses, annual or perennial plants and vegetable plants. Veg tab4e p a t "a!! be limited to a maximum heigia ef-twenty four inches (24"). Mulches such as organic mulch, gravel, rocks and boulders shall be a minimum depth of three inches (3") or more, dependent on the material used, to control weeds and erosion in unplanted areas and between plants, and that these aforementioned items at all times cover any installed weed block barriers that cover the ground surface. Public Utilities Justin Stoker In Applicability,New Development, Residential: Clarify whether Planned Unit Developments that include single family residential are intended to owner occupied residential units less than 1/2 acre in ""'""`"k property size. This item could include various condo units where the owner of a residential condo unit has ownership over a limited amount of property outside of the building footprint. The exemptions don't address this issue. In Background/Commentary: A footnote #2 information is provided regarding electricity usage by water treatment plants. The statistic that 4% of electricity usage comes from water treatment is not very relevant statistic. Especially, when considering that the Background doesn't mention key areas of focus. It is estimated that over 50% of our water use comes from the irrigation of artificial landscaping, an area where conservation measures can make the most difference. Reducing electricity usage by treatment plants constitutes to very little overall savings in the gross electrical usage of the country. Point is, more relevant statistics could be used in Footnote #2. If a 4% usage is quoted, it may result in being counterproductive by those who are resistant to conservation measures. Further, we are not sure if this 4% applies to Utah due to the way treatment is handled. We would rather not distract from the goals of this ordinance and draw attention to the treatment plants. Please consider removing the footnote. In Purposes, Item #6: Consider removing the example "such as energy conservation" and leave the purpose item #6 and generally contributing to other goals. The previously mentioned comment regarding a 4% electrical use by water treatment plants is not a highly relevant figure with little room for significant conservation measures. In Review Procedures, Item #1: Is it appropriate that the planning department be the lead reviewer or Amos should the application be reviewed by the building department in consultation with other agencies, such We' as Public Utilities? Or should Public Utilities simply be identified as the reviewer? In Standards, Item #2 Plant substitutions: Consideration should be given for those that may possibly have an efficient plant use that is not officially on the list. Consider adding language that allows for a plant mix be submitted to Public Utilities for review and approval as an approved plant efficient plant if found that it could be appropriate, but not officially on the list. In Hydrozones, Item d: This item refers to recycled water and rainwater harvesting. There are significant problems that will impede free use of recycled water. Utah water rights laws do not allow for unlimited use of rainwater harvesting, in fact the amount of water available for harvesting on commercial properties is limited to one underground 2500 gallon container or two above ground 100- gallon containers by state law. It is highly unlikely that a commercial or industrial property will be able to achieve a 75% use using harvested water. State and local health departments take difference to the use of gray water for irrigation use and has been documented to create unhealthy fungal and bacterial blooms in the landscape. Given the significant hurdles regarding gray water reuse and stormwater harvesting, it may be best to either scale back the percentage requirement for credit or eliminate the section all together. If a scaled-back version remains, language should be added to notify readers of state law and health department requirements restricting use. It is understood that some clarification is given in the Definitions section, but further reference in the text is merited to avoid misunderstanding. In Water Budget: Items (a) and (b) appear to contradict each other. Item (a) says that "all developments Amok with a total landscaped area exceeding 5000 sq-ft must install an irrigation meter." Item (b) says "all developments with a total landscaped area 1/2 -acre or less will not be required to install an irrigation meter..." It would appear that developments with a total landscaped area between 5000-sqft and 21750- sqft (1/2 acre) would lie in the contradiction zone. It may be the author's intent that total project area less than '/2-acre would not have to have the irrigation meter. If this is the case, item (b) must be written to clarify intent. Also, if that is the intent language should be added to say the policy applies to one entire parcel size or the project disturbance boundaries, whichever is larger, to avoid people piecing together a landscape to skirt around the policy. Footnote Item #7: Please clarify that the costs are estimates and vary based upon contractor bids and individual lot characteristics and is not meant to be a finite range for all projects. For instance the following represent meter costs alone and do not include installation or construction costs (1" - $4446.45); (1.5" - $8591.56); (2" - $14099.21). Item #8 Runoff: Please note that existing city ordinance prohibits runoff from being directed onto neighboring parcels in any amount without the legal right to do so. City policy also forbids non-storm related runoff from passing over a public sidewalk. The language "water runoff from a site shall be minimized..." appears to allow more latitude in off property runoff discharges than is currently allowed by the City. No comment regarding Tree Protection text. Transportation Barry Walsh The division of transportation review comments and recommendations are as follows: The Water section indicates no impact to the public transportation corridors or right of ways.

Staff members in attendance were Nick Norris, John Anderson, Nick Britton and Elizabeth Reining. A roll is being kept of all who attended the Planning Commission Meeting. The meeting was called to order at 5:45 p.m. Audio recordings of the Planning Commission meetings are retained in the Planning Office for an indefinite period of time. Planning staff members present at the meeting were: Wilf Sommerkorn, Planning Director; Nick Norris, Planning Manager; John Anderson, Principal Planner; Nick Britton, Principal Planner; Doug Dansie, Senior Planner; Michael Maloy, Principal Planner; Elizabeth Reining, Principal Planner; Paul Nielson, Land Use Attorney, Stephanie Duer, Public Utilities; and Deborah Martin, Senior Secretary. 6:27:3 PLNPCM2o10-00322: Water efficient landscaping/Tree Protection-A request by Salt Lake ;ity for a zoning text amendment to regulate water efficient landscaping and tree protection. Chairperson Fife recognized Doug Dansie as staff representative. Mr. Dansie stated that he didn't have a lot to add based on the prior meeting's briefing. He noted that the staff report was a modification of the original with a correction. Mr. Dansie added that in addition to the many notices that were sent in regard to this request; he did send an additional email to many landscape architecture professionals. From that, he received a comment from one person, and the email was included in the staff report. Questions from the Commissioners Commissioner\\Toodheacl asked if when the notices were sent, were they sent to garden club members? In her opinion, it seemed that they would have interest in the request. Stephanie Duer, from Public Utilities responded that the request only applies to commercial developments and residential developments over a certain size. Commissioner Woodhead stated that she understood it to apply to single family homes with over a luarter acre. Ms. Duer replied that very few properties within Salt Lake City that are over a quarter acre. Commissioner Woodhead added that people who would choose bigger lots would not want a landscape architect telling them what type of plants to plant. Ms.Duer noted that the request applies to areas that are larger than a quarter acre of landscape-able area,not a quarter acre lot. She added that a landowner would not be required to work with a landscape architect;they would need to have their water budget and plan approved by either a certified irrigation professional,or a landscape architect. Commissioner Woodhead stated that it seemed like too many restrictions. She stated that she was not in favor of the idea that plants would need prior approval. Commissioner De Lay stated that she was in support of the request. Commissioner Woodhead added that she could see why one would support this,but it seemed that there would be other ways to"incentivize"water conservation without turning gardening into something that requires this level of approval. Mr.Dansie stated that he understood her concern and that was why the majority of single family homes were excluded. He added that the list is pretty elaborate,and does not exclude much. Commissioner Woodhead stated that she was concerned that selection would be limited. Ms.Duer said that she was a landscape professional for over twenty years,and that she was a member of a garden club,and that she gardens,as well. The plant list was developed over a number of years with input from several groups like garden associations,the Red Butte Gardens,experts like Doug Dansie,and the list has grown from the first one in 1995 and includes over 56 pages and is as open as possible,and it also includes approved plant lists,such as Utah Native Plants Society,Plant Select,The Utah Water Wise Plant List and the Colorado list. She stated that the lists are expansive and have a beautiful plant pallet. Mr.Dansie added that in response to Commissioner Woodhead's concern,he said that the plant list is a product of what grows here. Ms.Duer stated that native plants only encompass 25 percent of what was included,and the list had a large focus on"adaptive"plants,so there were plants from the Mediterranean and areas of South Africa, Eastern Europe. Commissioner Woodhead expressed her concern that some plants that are traditionally grown in Utah, but might not be water wise plants would be excluded from the list. Ms.Doer responded that 20%percent of the landscape is allowed to have those types of plants,and that they were not excluded or prohibited,but just limited. Mr.Dansie pointed out that many lots that met the size restriction would be foothill lots and would have natural landscaping. INW Commissioner Dean asked about backflow requirement and whether or not it would need an inspection. Ms.Duer stated that backflow requirements are necessary. Commissioner Dean asked if there would be a qualified person to survey the plants prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy or Temporary Occupancy can be issued. She also asked in regard to -residential properties, a lot of homeowners hold off on it, how the City would address that. Mr. Dansie answered that this requirement did not apply to most homeowners, but to commercial properties or apartment buildings. He stated that the key to the enforcement would be approval up front. He added that the request is mostly regarding irrigation, and not really plants. Ms. Duer added that audits regarding irrigation budgets would be part of enforcement. 6:42:36 Public Hearing Judy Short stated that she felt the ordinance was great; however, it did not go far enough. She was concerned about the transference of landscaping when a property is sold. She stated her concern regarding city trees. 6:46:a Close of Public Hearing Commissioner Hill asked for clarity regarding watering large gardens and trees. She asked how it would impact community gardens Ms. Duer stated that most properties and community gardens would be exempt. She stated that it would mostly apply to new building. Commissioner De Lay asked if the ordinance could be made stronger regarding trees. Mr. Dansie stated that a comment that had been made was that this ordinance was limited in scope, and if the Planning Commission felt that it didn't go far enough, staff was open to dealing other things. Ms. Duer stated that there was a document referenced called the Salt Lake City Irrigation and Landscape Design which was still in construction. That document was intended to do, and the code will enforce, was that trees will be required to be on their own irrigation zone. This would prohibit the over watering of trees, and never landscaping could be sustained, including their trees, during a drought situation. Commissioner Dean asked for clarification if a person owned a single family home on a two acre lot, new construction, and they would like an urban farm on an acre to irrigate. How would this ordinance work for them. Ms. Duer responded that one acre of the landscape would be covered by the code, and the acre that was the urban farm would not. Motion Commissioner De Lay made a motion in regard to PLNPCM2oio-oo322:Water efficient landscaping/Tree Protection,based on the findings of the staff report and testimony heard tonight,I move that the Planning Commission send a favorable recommendation to the City Council to adopt the proposed sustainability ordinance text amendment concerning landscaping and tree protection,with the corrections as discussed in the meeting. Commissioner McHugh seconded the motion. Vote:Commissioners Drown,Dean,De Lay,Gallegos,Luke,McHugh,and Wirthlin and all voted"aye".Commissioner Woodhcad voted"no"Commissioner Hill abstained. The motion passed. Meeting Adjourned This document,along with the digital recording,constitute the official minutes of the Salt Lake City Planning Commission held on November 17,2010.

As part of the Sustainability Code Amendment Project,this memo identifies two topics from the Bundle 2 amendment list that are the next to be processed. Chapter 21A.48,Landscaping and Butlers, n ill be amended to implement sustainability goals relating to Tree Protection and Water Efficient Landscaping requirements Tree Protection Although the City has policies and regulations which address tree protection.they mainly relate to trees on public property and those that do relate to private properly,mainly encourage tree protection rather than require it. Proposed ordinance language will require the protection of defined"specimen trees"on private property when new development is proposed. A"Specimen Tree' is defined as s structurally sound mature tree,native or introduced,that is characteristic of the species, whose contributions to carbon sequestration,shade footprint,soil permeability,and aesthetics is high;and whose absence from the landscape would significantly alter the site's appearance,character,or history." The proposed amendments also include options for protection of trees(such as modification of setback requirements in order to preserve a specimen tree,or mitigation if it is impracticable or undesirable to keep a tree on site(such as requiring replacement trees of a certain caliper and number). 'the proposed regulations would not affect the removal of diseased trees or regular landscape maintenance on existing developed lots. o Page 1 Water Efficient Landscaping Amok. In 2009,the Salt Lake City Department of Public Utilities produced a comprehensive water conservation master plan that contains many recommendations to reduce water consumption, preserve water supplies,and integrate water conservation with other sustainability issues such as energy consumption. Salt Lake City currently has some modest development regulations in its zoning code and site development ordinance that address water conservation,but they are not sufficient to implement the new water conservation master plan and attaining the city's water conservation goals. For example,the zoning ordinance's landscaping provisions require the use of`drought-tolerant"trees in landscaping plans but place no limits on the amount of water that can be used for landscape irrigation nor do they address the efficiency of irrigation systems. The proposed regulations would replace and expand existing regulations relating to landscaping and water conservation. The new regulations would apply primarily to multi-family,mixed use,commercial, industrial,and institutional projects as well as to common areas of large subdivisions. They would not apply to landscaping in existing developments or to most single-family homes. 1. Promote the values and benefits of landscapes while recognizing the need to use water resources as efficiently as possible; 2. Use water efficiently without waste by establishing maximum amounts of water usage for new landscaping and reducing water use to the lowest practical amount; 3. Establish procedures and standards for the design,installation,and maintenance of water- efficient landscapes throughout Salt Lake Cite: 4. Establish procedures and standards for the design, installation, and maintenance of sink landscape irrigation systems throughout Salt Take City: 5. Recognize the need for tailored requirements for special landscapes such as those associated with historic landmarks and public facilities such as parks. 6. Implement the 2009 Water Conservation Master flan;and 7. Contribute to the attainment of other city sustainability goals such as energy conservation. As part of the process,the Planning Division will follow the City adoption processes including citizen input and public hearings with the Planning Commission and City Council. 0 Page 2 SALT LAKE CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT DATE: January 13,2011 SUBJECT: Petition PLNPCM2009-00173-Zoning Text change-Intent statement for the Commercial zoning districts and Purpose Statements for the residential,commercial,manufacturing, downtown,gateway and special purpose zoning districts. AFFECTED COUNCIL DISTRICTS: If the ordinance is adopted it would affect Council Districts citywide. STAFF REPORT BY: Nick Tarbet,Janice Jardine ADMINISTRATIVE DEPT. Community Development Department,Planning Division AND CONTACT PERSON: Nick Norris,Planning Manager KEY ELEMENTS: A. This proposal is one of the future projects identified in the Conditional Use analysis conducted by the Council in 2008. The intent was to reevaluate the purpose statements and uses in the City's zoning districts. Planning staff has indicated that the reevaluation of permitted and conditional uses is a separate project currently underway in the Planning Division. B. An ordinance has been prepared for Council consideration that would revise the zoning regulations Intent Statement for the Commercial zoning districts and Purpose Statements for Residential, Commercial,Manufacturing,Downtown,Gateway and Special Purpose Zoning Districts.The proposed changes reference adopted land use policy documents(e.g.Community,Neighborhood,Small Area Plans)and other land use elements such as compatibility,design and general standards.(Please refer to the draft ordinance for complete details.)The Administration's transmittal notes the proposed changes are intended to achieve the following: a. Remove contradictory statements. b. Ensure that each zoning district provides direction in implementing adopted master plan policies. c. Ensure consistency with the general purpose and intent of the Zoning Ordinance and the goals of each zoning classification(e.g.residential,commercial,manufacturing,etc). d. Strengthen the role that master plans play in administration of the zoning ordinance. e. Improve decision making processes. Examples of the proposed changes are noted below: Residential—promote sustainable and compatible development patterns with the existing scale and intensity of neighborhood. Commercial—enhance economic vitality,encourage sustainable,profitable and dynamic business. Development is oriented towards pedestrians while acknowledging some zones are primarily accessed by automobile. Manufacturing—generate economic development and support service to manufacturing and industrial uses. Uses that may be adversely impacted by manufacturing are prohibited. Downtown—provide areas that generate employment and economic development. Uses intended to foster 24 hour activity include;high density housing along with office,retail,entertainment and 1 culture. Design standards are oriented towards pedestrian activity along with safe attractive streetscapes,sustainability elements and preserving the urban nature. Gateway-Provide development opportunities oriented toward the pedestrian with an emphasis on, safe attractive streetscape,employment and economic development opportunities. Standards are intended to achieve established objectives for urban and historic design,pedestrian amenities and land use regulation. Special Purpose—promote uses to be compatible with the existing scale of the neighborhood.This district is appropriate in areas where supported by applicable master plans. B. The Administration's paperwork and Planning staff report provide detailed information relating to the proposed changes.Key points are summarized below. (Please refer to the Administration's transmittal letter and Planning staff report for complete details.) 1. The proposed changes do not create any new development standards and do not add any new types of land uses to any of the zoning districts. 2. The proposed changes do not create any new standards that may be contradictory with any existing overlay zoning district. 3. The initial Planning staff review identified key parts of a good purpose statement. Those parts include identifying what the zoning district is intended to do,where certain zoning districts are appropriate and why the zoning district exists. 4. The Planning Division analyzed zoning districts from other communities to identify examples that included the key parts of a good purpose statement. This review included examples from Utah communities,Portland,OR;Denver,CO and Vancouver,BC. 5. A final draft of the purpose statements was produced in June 2009 and made available to the public. The draft versions took into consideration the comments received from the Zoning Amendment Project Task Force(ZAP),other City Departments and the overall intent of the project as well as best professional practices and adopted City policies.Because the scope of the project includes different goals,not all comments received from the Task Force are reflected in the draft Purpose Statements. 6. Planning staff used professional judgment to ensure a balance between competing interests in addressing the issues raised through the public process. a. An example of this issue revolved around the concept of sustainability. In drafting the purpose statements,staff made an attempt to stay away from the word"sustainability"and focus on specific aspects of sustainability. This was done by adding language to strengthen the role the foothill zoning districts play in preserving sensitive lands,referencing pedestrian orientation, identifying districts intended to promote walkability and transit use,and by promoting economic development in appropriate districts. b. The Planning Commission also questioned the lack of inclusion of"live/work"development within the purpose statements. Planning staff determined that"live/work"types of development area type of mixed use development,which is allowed in a number of zoning districts. Furthermore,a"live/work"unit is a specific type of land use and it is more appropriate to add this type of use to the table of permitted and conditional uses in appropriate zoning districts.As part of the overall zoning ordinance review,the Planning Division is reviewing the tables of permitted and conditional uses and their definitions. "Live/work"will be addressed as part of that review. C. The Planning staff report provides analysis and findings for the Zoning Ordinance Section 21A.50.050— Standards for General Amendments.The standards were evaluated in the Planning staff report and considered by the Planning Commission.(Discussion and findings for the standards are found on pages 7-8 of the Planning staff report.) 2 D. Public Process: 1. The Planning Division held two open houses to gather public input on the purpose statements. A preliminary open house was held on February 19,2009;and a second was held on June 25,2009. 2. After the first open house,the Planning Division began meeting with a group of stakeholders, referred to as the Task Force.(Zoning Amendment Task Force ZAP)A total of three meetings were held. The first meeting,held on March 2,2009 was an issues identification meeting. In response to that meeting,the Planning Division began to draft proposed purpose statements that addressed the issue identified initially as part of the Conditional Use review in 2008 and the issues identified by the Task Force. On April 27,2009 and May 2,2009 the Task Force met to review the initial proposed purpose statements. 3. In addition,Planning staff met with the Business Advisory Board on May 13,2009 to review the proposed purpose statements. 4. Based on the feedback received on the initial proposal,the Planning Division amended the proposed purpose statements prior to presenting them to the Planning Commission and held a second open house on June 25,2009. E. Public Comment-a common theme that routinely came up was how the land uses located on the boundaries of different zoning districts impact each other. The primary concern was how to appropriately buffer the interfaces of different land uses from one another. Planning staff notes: a. This issue is more appropriately addressed through specific standards and not necessarily through the purpose statements. b. Strong,active,vibrant neighborhoods require a balance of land uses that are compatible and support one another. c. The approach recommended by various members of the Task Force and taken by Planning Staff was to stress compatibility versus adverse impacts. F. The proposed text amendment provides a framework for existing and future standards to create appropriate standards to allow for a variety of land uses and ensure compatibility between existing land uses and new land uses. G. The Planning Commission was briefed on the purpose statements on July 8,2009. During the briefing, the Planning Commission made a few suggestions on the proposed amendments,including sustainability, mixed use development(specifically addressing live-work style of units)and some general comments about the words used in the downtown zoning districts. H. The Planning Commission held a Public Hearing on August 12,2009. Issues raised at the Public Hearing primarily related to the overall process that the City uses in terms of land use decisions and being more inclusive of all stakeholders,specifically the business community and weighing more equally the concerns of the community councils and the business community. The Planning Commission passed a motion to transmit a favorable recommendation on the amendments to the commercial intent statement and the zoning district purpose statements. The vote was unanimous. I. The City's Departments and Divisions have reviewed the request. 1. Transportation Division noted the proposed changes will not change or revise the existing transportation requirements or issues for pedestrian,vehicular access,or parking requirements of each designated use.There are statements that:safe pedestrian access is needed to adjacent streets, along with a statement that,safe pedestrian and bicycle connections to adjacent streets and neighborhoods are necessary.These statements are compatible with the current"Complete Streets" directives. 2. Economic Development Division indicated that it might be helpful to look at other examples or best practices around the country,and apply some additional visualization/graphics to the proposed 3 changes.They acknowledged this would require additional work,and suggested perhaps the University of Utah College of Architecture and Planning could assist. They also suggested a visual component could help where words are not adequate. 3. Redevelopment Agency staff noted: a. industrial uses are inappropriate in GM-U b. businesses with drive-thru windows should not be permitted in any zone c. consider phasing out the General Commercial CG zone MATTERS AT ISSUE/POTENTIAL QUESTIONS FOR THE ADMINISTRATION: A. The Council may wish to discuss with the Administration if it may be appropriate to adjust in each purpose statement to reference`applicable Community Master Plan(s),Small Area Master Plan(s)and other adopted citywide master plan policies'. The intent would be to provide consistency and clarity in the Zoning regulations. 1. Some of the purpose statements refer to the`Community Master Plan'and some statements do not refer to any type of planning policy while several refer to`applicable development plan'or `applicable master plan policies'. 2. The transmittal letter(pg.3)and the Planning staff report(pg.4)provide a detailed discussion regarding the Community Master Plans and Small Area Master Plans noting the importance of referencing the master plans in the purpose statements to strengthen the relationship between Master Plans and the Zoning Ordinance and improving the Zoning Ordinance as a tool to implement the Master Plans of the City. B. The Council may wish to discuss with the Administration the status of the comprehensive zoning text and map changes relating to neighborhood scale commercial uses. Planning staff has noted that part of the review includes changes to the CN Neighborhood Commercial and CB Community Business zoning districts. MASTER PLAN AND POLICY CONSIDERATIONS: A. The Administration's paperwork notes the following relating to City policies and Master Plans. The proposed amendments to the Zoning District purpose statements impact the entire City. Therefore,all existing city wide plans,Community Master Plans and Small Area Master Plans have some impact on the proposed purpose statements. The purposes statements were crafted with the general goals of these master plan documents in mind. 1. Salt Lake City Futures Commission Report(1998)The Salt Lake City Futures Commission Report includes multiple goals and objectives that are intended to guide policy decision on land use. This Executive Summary of this document includes statements about creating vibrant neighborhoods, implementing excellent urban design,establishing a strong economic base and creating a multimodal transportation system. o The draft purpose statements reflect this vision by including a variety of housing options,mixed use zoning districts,strong commercial and manufacturing districts,and identifying districts that support different forms of transportation. • Within the Built Environment Chapter of the Futures Commission Report,there are several assertions made that are applicable to the proposed purpose statements. Assertion B states"Urban design focuses first on the needs of pedestrians and bicyclists,second on mass transit and third on �. the automobile; public transit systems such as light rail are user friendly and designed with the pedestrian in mind;all citizens have access to public transit within 1,200 feet of their homes." 4 Assertion C similarly states"The city is designed to the highest aesthetic standards and is pedestrian friendly,convenient and inviting." The other assertions found in this section refer to creating unique neighborhoods for people to live and work in,creating streets with character,preserving historic buildings and neighborhoods,preserving and providing access to both natural and manmade open spaces,a mix of housing types,etc. Assertion 0 states"all people of the city have a stake in the planning and building of the city. o The purpose statements place heavy emphasis on development being oriented towards the pedestrian. Appropriate zoning districts are identified that can take advantage of their proximity to mass transit. o Assertion 0 reflects the planning process that the purpose statement review has gone through. o Planning and building must reflect a balanced approach in the best interest of a diverse community. • The Economic Subcommittee Chapter of the Futures Commission Report states that planning and zoning are important economic development tools in promoting quality economic development projects. The proposed changes to the purpose statements do not change any existing standard but do set the stage for identifying appropriate development in each zoning district. This chapter continues by stating that the City should adopt policies to encourage urban neighborhoods, promoting mixed use developments of sufficient density to foster a healthy and complementary mix of businesses and residents." o With appropriate development characteristics identified in the purpose statements,appropriate standards can be put in place(if not already in place)that makes it simpler for desired development to occur. 2. Salt Lake City Vision and Strategic Plan Final Report(1993)The Salt Lake City Vision and Strategic Plan Final Report is intended to define a vision for the City and identify how that vision can be achieved. The document was adopted in 1993 and includes major strategies,action steps and progress indicators. The key objectives include environmental stewardship,celebrating the heritage and culture of a diverse population;provide affordable housing opportunities in attractive,friendly neighborhoods that provide a safe environment for families,economic vitality and responsive government. Within each goal is a series of objectives and actions steps to implement the plan. Perhaps the strongest impact of this document on the proposed purpose statements is the economic vitality section. This section identifies key concepts,including facilitating complementary retail opportunities in city neighborhoods and commercial areas of the City. • There are several mixed use zoning districts that are intended to provide areas for a mix of housing and commercial opportunities. • The Plan also specifically discusses strengthening the role of Downtown in the region. • The proposal includes adding more language to the D-1 Zoning District purpose statement to identify that it is the center of the region. 3. Salt Lake City Community Housing Plan(2001)The purpose of the Salt Lake City Community Housing Plan is to • • Create a wide variety of housing types across the City; • Preserving,rehabilitating and replacing(when necessary)the existing housing stock; • Encouraging innovation in housing design; • Encourage mixed use and mixed income housing • Create transit oriented housing developments; • Create affordable and transitional housing; • Explore innovative funding mechanisms for the creation of housing; • Alter zoning regulations to encourage the potential for innovation in housing developments;and • • Supporting home ownership for a variety of income levels o While the purpose statements do not create specific zoning regulations,many of the proposed changes to the purpose statements help fulfill the purpose of this plan. For example,housing has been identified as a key component of those districts where housing is appropriate. The Housing Plan specifically identifies Industrial areas as places where housing should not be allowed. 4. Community Master Plans The City has adopted seven community master plans: Avenues,Capitol Hill, Central Community,East Bench,Northwest,Sugar House and West Salt Lake. The Community Master Plans include Future Land Use Maps that indicate where certain types of land uses should be located on a broad basis. • The proposed purpose statements include references to the Community Master Plans in order to provide guidance as to where specific types of zoning districts are appropriate. • The Community Master Plans include policies on various issues related to land use • Linking the purpose statements to the applicable Community Master Plans strengthens the role the master plans play in the decision making process. The Community Master Plans are important when the City considers zoning amendments,particularly map amendments,and other land use related petitions. 5. Small Area Master Plans The City has adopted several small area master plans. Small area master plans generally apply to a small area(typically one or two blocks)and provide more specific policies than Community Master Plans. The land use policies and future land use maps found in the small area master plans are used to determine which zoning districts are appropriate in a similar fashion as the Community Master Plans. • Referencing the master plans in the purpose statements strengthens the relationship between master plans and the zoning ordinance and improves the zoning ordinance as a tool to implement the master plans of the City. • Additional citywide Master Plan and Policy considerations are provided below. B. The City's Strategic Plan and the Futures Commission Report express concepts such as maintaining a prominent sustainable city,ensuring the City is designed to the highest aesthetic standards and is pedestrian friendly,convenient,and inviting,but not at the expense of minimizing environmental stewardship or neighborhood vitality. The Plans emphasize placing a high priority on maintaining and developing new affordable residential housing in attractive,friendly,safe environments and creating attractive conditions for business expansion including retention and attraction of large and small businesses. C. The Council's growth policy notes that growth in Salt Lake City will be deemed the most desirable if it meets the following criteria: 1. Is aesthetically pleasing; 2. Contributes to a livable community environment; 3. Yields no negative net fiscal impact unless an overriding public purpose is served;and 4. Forestalls negative impacts associated with inactivity. D. The City's 1990 Urban Design Element includes statements that emphasize preserving the City's image, neighborhood character and maintaining livability while being sensitive to social and economic realities. Policy concepts include: 1. Allow individual districts to develop in response to their unique characteristics within the overall urban design scheme for the city. .\ 2. Ensure that land uses make a positive contribution to neighborhood improvement and stability. 3. Ensure that building restoration and new construction enhance district character. 6 • 4. Require private development efforts to be compatible with urban design policies of the city regardless of whether city financial assistance is provided. 5. Treat building height,scale and character as significant features of a district's image. 6. Ensure that features of building design such as color,detail,materials and scale are responsive to district character,neighboring buildings,and the pedestrian.

As part of that process, several issues were identified that were outside the scope of the conditional use review. One of the issues identified was that the purpose statements of the individual zoning districts do not adequately identify the type of development that should be occurring in each district. In response,the Planning Division was asked to review the Purpose Statements, among other - -- issues, and work with stakeholders in order to draft revised purpose statements. The Purpose Statement project is intended to achieve the following: 0 T 0 v 1UU9 Mal 8451 SOUTH STATE STREET, ROOM 404 �1, SCANNED T4•• O. BOX 14546, SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH 841 14-5466 \�SNNED � �TELEPHONE: 801-535-5230 FAX: 801.535.6005 DAM/O/01/D q WWW.SLCGOV.COM/CED �� accrceo vnPca • Remove contradictory statements; Ask • Ensure that each zoning district is implementing the adopted policies of applicable master ` '"` plans; • Ensure that the purpose statement is consistent with the goals of the Zoning Ordinance; • Ensure that each district is fulfilling the applicable intent statements for the applicable zoning class(residential, commercial,manufacturing, etc.); and • Assist in administering the zoning ordinance. The Purpose Statements found in the Salt Lake City Zoning Ordinance include two parts: a general statement about the nature of the district and a paragraph about land uses that are allowed in the district. This review is limited to Paragraph A,the general statement about the nature of the district. As the Planning Division began working with the group of stakeholders, it became apparent that the intent statement for the commercial zoning districts do not adequately reflect the goals of the City. The intent statement lists all of the goals and objectives for the Commercial Zoning Districts. As a result,the Planning Division worked with members of the business community to draft a revised intent statement for the Commercial Zoning Districts. The Planning Division is concurrently working on comprehensive zoning text and map amendments relating to neighborhood scale commercial uses. Part of that review will include changes to the CN Neighborhood Commercial and CB—Community Business zoning districts. Therefore,no changes to the purpose statements for the CN and CB zoning districts are being Amok" proposed as part of the Purpose Statement Project. Analysis: The proposed amendments to the Commercial Districts Intent Statement and the Zoning District Purpose Statements do not create any new standards or change the tables of permitted and conditional uses. However,because the Planning Division is reviewing a number of proposed changes to standards and the land use tables, it is appropriate to address the purpose statements so that they provide a vision for each zoning district that can be used in the decision making process to determine appropriate standards, appropriate land uses, etc. A draft of the proposed purpose statements was sent to various City Department for review. The Planning Division received a response from the Transportation Division, Building Services Division,Engineering, Public Utilities,Economic Development, and the Redevelopment Agency. All of the responses generally supported the proposed amendments with some modifications, which were reflected in the version presented to the Planning Commission at the public hearing on August 12, 2009. Master Plan Considerations: The proposed amendment to the Commercial Districts Intent Statement and the Zoning District Purpose Statements would relate to the entire city. The citywide policies reviewed in the Planning Commission Staff Report include the Salt Lake City Futures Commission Report(1998), Salt Lake City Vision and Strategic Plan Final Report (1993), and the Salt Lake City Community Housing Plan(2001). Generally,the policies in these plans support the proposed amendments and the proposed amendments help to implement these RE: Petition PLNPCM2009-00173:Zoning District Purpose Statements Page 2 of 4 policies. A more detailed analysis of these planning documents can be found in the Planning Commission Staff Report (Attachment 5b). The City has adopted seven Community Master Plans: Avenues, Capitol Hill, Central Community, East Bench, Northwest, Sugar House, and West Salt Lake. The Community Master Plans include Future Land Use Maps that indicate where certain types of land uses should be located on a broad basis. The proposed purpose statements include references to the Community Master Plans in order to provide guidance as to where specific types of zoning districts are appropriate. Along with the maps, the Community Master Plans include policies on various issues related to land use. Some of these plans include specific development concepts, such as transit oriented development, that are also used in decision making processes. Linking the purpose statements to the applicable Community Master Plans strengthens the role the master plans play in the decision making process. The Community Master Plans are important when the City considers zoning amendments,particularly map amendments, and other land use related petitions. The City has adopted several Small Area Master Plans. Small Area Master Plans generally apply to a small area (typically one or two blocks) and provide more specific policies than Community Master Plans. The land use policies and future land use maps found in the Small Area Master Plans are used to determine which zoning districts are appropriate in a similar fashion as the Community Master Plans. Referencing the master plans in the purpose statements strengthens the relationship between Master Plans and the Zoning Ordinance and improves the Zoning Ordinance as a tool to implement the Master Plans of the City. PUBLIC PROCESS: The public process for the proposed amendments to the purpose statements began in February 2009 with an open house to begin identifying the issues with the current purpose statements. A total of eight people signed the role. While no written comments were received at the open house, some comments were sent to Planning Staff after the open house. Those comments are attached to the Planning Commission Staff Report(Attachment 5b). After the first open house, the Planning Division began meeting with a group of stakeholders, referred to as the Task Force. Three meetings were held with the Task Force. The first meeting, held on March 2, 2009, was an issues identification meeting. In response to that meeting, the Planning Division began to draft proposed purpose statements that addressed the issue identified initially as part of the Conditional Use review in 2008 and the issues identified by the Task Force. On April 27, 2009, and May 2, 2009, the Task Force met to review the initial proposed purpose statements. In addition, Planning Staff met with the Business Advisory Board on May 13, 2009,to review the proposed purpose statements. Based on the feedback received on the initial proposal, the Planning Division amended the proposed purpose statements prior to presenting them to the Planning Commission and held a second open house on June 25, 2009. The Planning Commission was briefed on the purpose statements on July 8, 2009. During the briefing, the Planning Commission made a few suggestions on the proposed amendments, including sustainability, mixed use development (specifically addressing live-work style of RE: Petition PLNPCM2009-00173:Zoning District Purpose Statements Page 3 of 4 units), and some general comments about the words used in the Downtown zoning districts. The Planning Commission held a Public Hearing on August 12,2009. Issues raised at the Public Hearing primarily related to the overall process that City uses in terms of land use decisions and being more inclusive of all stakeholders, specifically the business community, and weighing more equally the concerns of the community councils and the business community. The Planning Commission passed a motion to transmit a favorable recommendation on the amendments to the commercial intent statement and the zoning district purpose statements to the City Council. The vote was unanimous. RELEVANT ORDINANCES: Amendments to the Zoning Ordinance and Maps are authorized under Section 21A.50 of the Salt Lake City Zoning Ordinance, as detailed in Section 21A.50.050: "A decision to amend the text of this title or the zoning map by general amendment is a matter committed to the legislative discretion of the City Council and is not controlled by any one standard." It does, however, list five standards, which should be analyzed prior to rezoning property (Section 21A.50.050 A-E). The five standards are discussed in detail starting on page 7 of the Planning Commission Staff Report (see Attachment 5b).

The Planning Commission may adopt the findings and recommendation public comment regarding of the Planning Division and send a recommendation to the City the Commercial District Council that they approve the zoning text amendment. The Planning Intent Statement Commission may also recommend specific changes to the proposed purpose statements to the City Council as part of this option.; or 2. The Planning Commission may find that the proposal does not comply with the factors to be considered and send a recommendation to the City Council that they deny the zoning text amendment. 3. The Planning Commission may continue the item if they determine not enough information is available to make a recommendation to the City Council. Background Project Description In 2008, the City Council hired a consultant to review specific types of land uses, whether those uses should be permitted or conditional and in what zoning districts they would be allowed, and the standards for conditional uses. As part of that process, several issues were identified that were outside the scope of the conditional use review. One of the issues identified was that the purpose statements of the individual zoning districts were not adequately identifying the type of development that should be occurring in each district. In response, the Planning Division was asked to review the Purpose Statements, among other issues, and work with stakeholders AIN in order to draft revised purpose statements. The Purpose Statement project is intended to achieve the following: • Remove contradictory statements; • Ensure that each zoning district is implementing the adopted policies of applicable master plans; • Ensure that the purpose statement is consistent with the goals of the Zoning Ordinance; • Ensure that each district is fulfilling the applicable intent statements for the applicable zoning class (residential, commercial, manufacturing, etc); • Assist in administering the zoning ordinance. The Purpose Statements found in the Salt Lake City Zoning Ordinance include two parts: a general statement about the nature of the district and a paragraph about land uses that are allowed in the district. This review is limited to Paragraph A, the general statement about the nature of the district. The Planning Division is concurrently working on a comprehensive zoning text and map amendments relating to neighborhood scale commercial uses. Part of that review will include changes to the CN Neighborhood Commercial and CB Community Business zoning districts. Therefore, no changes to the purpose statements for the CN and CB zoning districts are being proposed as part of the Purpose Statement Project. • Master Plan Information The proposed amendments to the Zoning District purpose statements impact the entire City. Therefore, all existing City Wide Plans, Community Master Plans and Small Area Master Plans have some impact on the proposed purpose statements. The purposes statements were crafted with the general goals of these master plan documents in mind. PLNPCM2009-00173 Zoning District Purpose Statements Published Date. August 5,2009 2 Salt Lake City Futures Commission Report (1998) T' t Lake City Futures Commission Report includes multiple goals and objectives that are intended to gt. ., policy decision on land use. This Executive Summary of this document includes statements about creating vibrant neighborhoods, implementing excellent urban design, establishing a strong economic base and creating a multimodal transportation system. The draft purpose statements reflect this vision by including a variety of housing options, mixed use zoning districts, strong commercial and manufacturing districts, and identifying districts that support different forms of transportation. Within the Built Environment Chapter of the Futures Commission Report, there are several assertions made that are applicable to the proposed purpose statements. Assertion B states "Urban design focuses first on the needs of pedestrians and bicyclists, second on mass transit and third on the automobile; public transit systems such as light rail are user friendly and designed with the pedestrian in mind; all citizens have access to public transit within 1,200 feet of their homes." The purpose statements place heavy emphasis on development being oriented towards the pedestrian. Appropriate zoning districts are identified that can take advantage of their proximity to mass transit. Assertion C similarly states "The city is designed to the highest aesthetic standards and is pedestrian friendly, convenient and inviting." The other assertions found in this section refer to creating unique neighborhoods for people to live and work in, creating streets with character, preserving historic buildings and neighborhoods, preserving and providing access to both natural and manmade open spaces, a mix of housing types, etc. Assertion 0 reflects the planning process that the purpose statement review has gone through. Assertion 0 states "all people of the city have a stake in the planning and building of the city. Planning and building must reflect a balanced approach in the best interest of a diverse community. The Economic Subcommittee Chapter of the Futures Commission Report states that planning and zoning are im~ ant economic development tools in promoting quality economic development projects. The proposed c. .s to the purpose statements do not change any existing standard but do set the stage for identifying appropriate development in each zoning district. With appropriate development characteristics identified in the purpose statements, appropriate standards can be put in place (if not already in place) that makes it simpler for desired development to occur. This chapter continues by stating that the City should adopt policies to encourage urban neighborhoods, promoting mixed use developments of sufficient density to foster a healthy and complementary mix of businesses and residents." Salt Lake City Vision and Strategic Plan Final Report (1993) The Salt Lake City Vision and Strategic Plan Final Report is intended to define a vision for the City and identify how that vision can be achieved. The document was adopted in 1993 and includes major strategies, action steps and progress indicators. The key objectives include environmental stewardship, celebrating the heritage and culture of a diverse population; provide affordable housing opportunities in attractive, friendly neighborhoods that provide a safe environment for families, economic vitality and responsive government. Within each goal is a series of objectives and actions steps to implement the plan. Perhaps the strongest impact of this document on the proposed purpose statements is the economic vitality section. This section identifies key concepts, including facilitating complementary retail opportunities in city neighborhoods and commercial areas of the City. There are several mixed use zoning districts that are intended to provide areas for a mix of housing and commercial opportunities. The Plan also specifically discusses strengthening the role of Downtown in the region. The proposal includes adding more language to the D-1 Zoning District purpose statement to identify that it is the center of the region. Sal+ i_ake City Community Housing Plan (2001) .rpose of the Salt Lake City Community Housing Plan is to • Create a wide variety of housing types across the City; PLNPCM2009-00173 Zoning District Purpose Statements Published Date. August 5,2009 3 • Preserving, rehabilitating and replacing (when necessary) the existing housing stock; • Encouraging innovation in housing design; • Encourage mixed use and mixed income housing • Create transit oriented housing developments; • Create affordable and transitional housing; • Explore innovative funding mechanisms for the creation of housing; • Alter zoning regulations to encourage the potential for innovation in housing developments; and • Supporting home ownership for a variety of income levels While the purpose statements do not create specific zoning regulations, many of the proposed changes to the purpose statements help fulfill the purpose of this plan. For example, housing has been identified as a key component of those districts where housing is appropriate. The Housing Plan specifically identifies Industrial areas as places where housing should not be allowed. The Housing Plan includes specific policy statements related to zoning. The document states that the City Council endorses: 1. Policies and programs that preserve housing opportunities as well as business opportunities within the City to ensure the continued existence of a population base and business base. While the Council supports mixed use development, it also recognizes that there are some zones that are not conducive to residential development. As such, the Council will discourage any housing development in industrial type zones. 2. Co Housing developments. 3. A zoning designation to permit transitional housing on a small scale basis. 4. Higher densities in affordable and mixed income housing developments if the developer incorporates features to minimize intrusions such as buffer landscaping, useable open space, on site amenities, support services, underground vehicle, parking, etc. 5. Accessory housing units in single family zones, subject to restrictions designed to limit impacts and protect neighborhood character. 6. Small scale, low density scattered site development, 100% low income residential development based on quality design, good management, and an established neighborhood social support structure. 7. Neighborhood anchor areas or commercial uses that are necessary to the function of residential neighborhoods or are compatible with residential activity. Some of these policies are specific to zoning concepts, which are often found in purpose statements while some are focused on specific types of land uses. The policies directly related to specific types of land uses that would normally be found in the standards and use tables of a specific zoning district. Community Master Plans The City has adopted seven community master plans: Avenues, Capitol Hill, Central Community, East Bench, Northwest, Sugar House and West Salt Lake. The Community Master Plans include Future Land Use Maps that indicate where certain types of land uses should be located on a broad basis. The proposed purpose statements include references to the Community Master Plans in order to provide guidance as to where specific types of zoning districts are appropriate. Along with the maps, the Community Master Plans include policies on various issues related to land use. Some of these plans include specific development concepts, such as transit oriented development, that are also used in decision making processes. Linking the purpose statements to the applicable Community Master Plans strengthens the role the master plans play in the decision making process. The Community Master Plans are important when the City considers zoning amendments, particularly map amendments, and other land use related petitions. Auk, PLNPCM2009-00173 Zoning District Purpose Statements Published Date. August 5,2009 4 Small Area Master Plans Th y has adopted several small area master plans. Small area master plans generally apply to a small area (t tly one or two blocks) and provide more specific policies than Community Master Plans. The land use policies and future land use maps found in the small area master plans are used to determine which zoning districts are appropriate in a similar fashion as the Community Master Plans. Referencing the master plans in the purpose statements strengthens the relationship between master plans and the zoning ordinance and improves the zoning ordinance as a tool to implement the master plans of the City. Comments Public Comments The Planning Division has attempted to gather input from several sources. Two open houses have been held to gather public input on the Purpose Statements. A preliminary open house was held on February 19, 2009 with the purpose of identifying issues with the existing purpose statements. A total of eight people signed the roll sheet. A second open house was held on June 25th. The purpose of the second open house was to gather comments on the proposed changes to the purpose statements. No comments were received and no one attended the second open house. As mentioned earlier in this report, the Planning Division worked with a Task Force to identify issues, gather input and collect comments on proposed changes to the purpose statements. The Planning Division met with the Task Force on three separate occasions. Generally the comments from the task force including addressing the interface between residential and commercial uses and encouraging economic development, primarily through creating an environment that supported small businesses. The notes from the task force meetings are att2'' (see Attachment B). During this process, all documents that were presented to the Task Force were al, .ced on the Planning Division web site to provide access to the documents and for the public to review the process. The proposed purpose statements were presented to the Business Advisory Board on May 13th. While formal comments were not returned to the Planning Division, members of the Business Advisory Board were concerned with creating a business friendly environment. City Department Comments The comments received from pertinent City Departments/ Divisions are as follows: Transportation (Barry Walsh): The division of transportation review comments and recommendations are for approval as follows: The purpose statements presented do not change or revise the existing transportation requirements or issues for pedestrian or vehicular access, or parking requirements of each designated use. There are statements that: safe pedestrian access is needed to adjacent streets, along with a statement that, safe pedestrian and bicycle connections to adjacent streets and neighborhoods are necessary. These statements are compatible with the current "Complete Streets" directives. Public Utilities (Justin Stoker): Public Utilities have no objection to the proposed changes. neering (Craig Smith): Engineering has no objections. PLNPCM2009-00173 Zoning District Purpose Statements Published Date: August 5,2009 5 Building Services(Alan Hardman): Our office has no comments on this proposal at this time. tok Economic Development(Bob Farrington): It might be useful in trying to better understand the differences in opinions and perspectives regarding commercial districts and the residential interface to look at examples(visual)in the city of what is working and not working, other examples or best practices around the country,and apply some additional visualization/graphics to the proposed changes. I know this would be additional work,but perhaps the University of Utah College of Architecture and Planning can be deployed.It seems like much of the discussion is about the form,design,function and intensity of the commercial zones,not necessarily the land use..A visual component can help where words are not adequate.If you think this is worthwhile let_me know and I can see how we can help. RDA(Mathew Dahl): GM-U: I do not think industrial uses are appropriate in GM-U. To enhance the environment,public health and pedestrian friendliness of the public realm,drive-thru windows should no longer be permitted in any zone. Is there any chance of phasing out the CG District? It does not really further out objectives anymore. Why would we zone property RMF-75 if the existing character is single family homes on 0.10 acre lots? In addition to those Departments that provided feedback,the proposed purpose statements were also routed to the Airport and Police Department as well as the Mayor's Cabinet. Project Review In January 2009,the Planning Division began reviewing the existing purpose statements. The initial review identified the key parts of a good purpose statement. Those parts include identifying what the zoning district is intended to do,where certain zoning districts are appropriate and why the zoning district exists. The Planning Division also began analyzing zoning districts from other communities to identify examples that included the key parts of a good purpose statement. This review included looking at examples from Utah communities, places outside the state(Portland,OR;Denver,CO)and places outside of the country(Vancouver,BC). In addition to an internal review,the Planning Division began meeting with a group of stakeholders(called the• Task Force)that included Community Council representatives,interested citizens,business groups and business owners,property owners,City staff,etc. On March 2,2009 the Planning Division met with the group to identify issues that the Task Force had with the current purpose statements and with land use in general. The Planning Division took the list of issues and began drafting new purpose statements. The second(April 27,2009)and third meetings(May 11,2009)with the Task Force consisted of a review of proposed purpose statements with the purpose of getting specific feedback. The Task Force looked at each individual purpose statement and provided feedback. A final draft of the purpose statements was produced in June 2009 and made available to the public. The draft versions took into consideration the comments received from the Task Force,from other City Departments and that fulfilled the overall intent of the project as well as best professional practice and adopted City policies. ' . • Because the scope of the project includes different goals,not all comments received from the Task Force are reflected in the draft Purpose Statements. Staff has used profession judgment to ensure a balance between competing interests in addressing the issues raised through the public process. The proposed purpose statements were presented to the Planning Commission during a work session on June 24,2009. A follow up briefing was held on July 8,2009. The Planning Commission provided staff with some direction and some concepts to consider. The first issue revolved around the concept of sustainability. In PLNPCM2009-00173 Zoning District Purpose Statements Published Date August 5,2009 6 drafting the purpose statements, staff made an attempt to stay away from the word "sustainability" and focus on spec' ., aspects of sustainability. This was done by adding language to strengthen the role the foothill zoning d play in preserving sensitive lands, referencing pedestrian orientation, identifying districts intended to promote walkability and transit use, and by promoting economic development in appropriate districts. The Planning Commission also questioned the lack of inclusion of"live/work" development within the purpose statements. After reviewing the concept and the purpose statements, it is staffs opinion that "live/work" types of development are a type of mixed use development, which is allowed in a number of zoning districts. Furthermore, a "live/work" unit is a specific type of land use and it is more appropriate to add this type of use to the table of permitted and conditional uses in appropriate zoning districts. As part of the overall zoning ordinance review, the Planning Division is reviewing the tables of permitted and conditional uses and their definitions. "Live/work" will be addressed as part of that review. The Planning Commission also recommended a few edits, which have been made. The Planning Division's final proposed purpose statements are attached (see Attachment A). Zoning Review The proposed amendments to the Zoning District Purpose Statements do not create any new standards or change the tables of permitted and conditional uses. However, because the Planning Division is reviewing a number of proposed changes to standards and the land use tables, it is appropriate to address the purpose statements so that they provide a vision for each zoning district that can be used in the decision making process to determine appropriate standards, appropriate land uses, etc. sis and Findings Options With regard to zoning text amendments, the Planning Commission makes a recommendation to the City Council and the City Council has the decision making authority. The Planning Commission has the discretion to recommend the changes as proposed by Planning Staff or to make modifications to the proposal by Planning Staff or recommend to the City Council not to amend the proposed changes. Analysis Section 21A.50.050. A decision to amend the text of this title or the zoning map by general amendment is a matter committed to the legislative discretion of the city council and is not controlled by any one standard. However, in making its decision concerning a proposed amendment, the city council should consider the following factors: a. Whether the proposed amendment is consistent with the purposes, goals, objectives, and policies of the adopted general plan of Salt Lake City; Discussion: The proposed amendments to the Zoning District Purpose Statements include language that refers back to the applicable master plans of the City. The purpose for adding this to the Purpose Statements is to strengthen the role that the master plans play in the administration of the zoning ordinance, improve the decision making process and implement the adopted master plans. rending: The proposed text amendment is consistent with the purposes, goals, objectives and policies of the adopted master plans of the City. PLNPCM2009-00173 Zoning District Purpose Statements Published Date. August 5,2009 b. Whether the proposed amendment is harmonious with the overall character of existing development in the immediate vicinity of the subject property; Discussion: The proposed purpose statements include a review of each zoning district by a Task Force made up of an array of stakeholders. One of the common themes that routinely came up was how the land uses located on the boundaries of different zoning districts impact each other. The primary concern was how to appropriately buffer the interfaces of different land uses from one another. This issue is more appropriately addressed through specific standards and not necessarily through the purpose statements. Strong, active, vibrant neighborhoods require a balance of land uses that are compatible and support one another. The approach recommended by various members of the Task Force and taken by Planning Staff was to stress compatibility versus adverse impacts. Finding: The proposed text amendment provides a framework for the existing and future standards to create appropriate standards to allow for a variety of land uses and ensure compatibility between existing land uses and new land uses. c. The extent to which the proposed amendment will adversely affect adjacent properties; Discussion: The proposed amendment does not create any new development standards and does not allow any new types of land uses to any of the zoning districts in the City. Therefore, the proposed amendments will not create any adverse impacts. Finding: The proposed amendments do not create any adverse impacts because they do not create any new standards and do not add any new land uses to the table of permitted and conditional uses. d. Whether the proposed amendment is consistent with the provisions of any applicable overlay zoning districts which may impose additional standards; and Discussion: The proposed amendments do not create any new standards that may be contradictory to any existing overlay zoning district. Furthermore, the overlay zoning districts were not reviewed as part of this proposal. Finding: The overlay zoning districts will not be impacted by the proposed changes to the Zoning District Purpose Statements. e. The adequacy of public facilities and services intended to serve the subject property, including but not limited to roadways, parks and recreational facilities, police and fire protection, schools, storm water drainage systems,water supplies, and wastewater and refuse collection. Discussion: The proposed amendments to the purpose statements do not create any impact on public facilities or services. Finding: The proposed amendments will not adversely impact any public facility or service. Amok PLNPCM2009-00173 Zoning District Purpose Statements Published Date.

PLNPCM2009-00173 Zoning District Purpose Statements Published Date. August 5,2009 20 h 2, 2009 Below are the notes from the Task Force meeting on March 2, 2009. The notes are as written and I have purposefully tried not to interpret the comments by adding my own language to them. This is how they were written down on the flip chart. I did organize them into general comments that are likely to apply to all districts and to district specific comments. Any staff comment is in red colored text. Over the next few weeks. I will begin to draft proposed language for each zoning district. The proposed language will address the stated goals and issues of the project as well as the issues identified at the Task Force meeting. Not all of the issues identified are related to the purpose statements, and those will be indicated up front so that the Task Force can focus on the purpose statements. An example of one of these issues is found under 2F below: requiring a violator to prove they aren't violating an ordinance. 1) General Notes about the meeting A. The lecture style format of the room makes face to face dialogue difficult. Look at using a similar format to the first task force meeting, but in a room where it is easier to hear and where everyone can fit at the table. B. Have a brain storming session of the fears, conflicts, and pressures between zones, particularly the interface between commercial and residential. 2) General Notes relating to all zoning districts Need to sharpen the language of all districts: what does "provide for" mean? Do we want to encourage or require (carrot vs., the stick?) Which way is more effective. . a. City needs to take lead on addressing the impact issues; B. Need language that has teeth (use shall, not should or may); C. Adequate enforcement needs to be maintained by City (unit legalizations); a. City needs to follow up: once a decision is made, ensure implemented through inspections, etc. (this is more related to administration of the ordinance. and not necessarily the purpose statement.) D. Need to make violator prove they are not violating rather than make the person filing the complaint do it. This is likely an unconstitutional approach to ordinance enforcement. Generally, defendants are considered innocent until proven guilty. E. Allow non residential in historic structures to ensure they are preserved; F. Be explicit about what the issues are. G. Obstacles between developing mixed use projects include a lack of local developers who can do it, insurance issues, financing issues, code (including building codes) issues. a. Insurance costs differ depending on type of use (retail costs more to insure than office) b. Market is also an issue (overbuilt housing or over built office space c. Market realities change d. Carrying capacity created by zoning and land area may be greater than the market can handle. e. Too ambitious, won't happen all at once. f. We zone some areas as if there is no limit to demand. H. General Issue throughout is dealing with the interface between different land uses. 3) _.esidential Zoning Districts A. General Notes relating to all residential districts PLNPCM2009-00173 Zoning District Purpose Statements Published Date August 5,2009 22 1. Define what is meant by low, moderate, medium, high density. 2. Mix of structure so the structures do not all look the same (suburbia i.e. don't have residential that is so homogenous.) 3. Look at ratio of lot size to building size. 4. Don't focus on need to gentrify areas of the City. It is good to keep diverse neighborhoods. 5. Need to consider alternatives to housing choices, both in size, type, cost, owner occupied, etc. B. Foothill Districts 1. Provide protection for view corridors looking to the foothills from the rest of the City C. R-1 Districts D. SR-Districts E. R-2 Districts F. RMF Districts 1. Is there a way to include a specific ratio for mixed uses in order to distinguish between RMF and RMU zones? G. RB 1. Exterior treatment of structures is important; pedestrian and street orientation; 2. The zone provides locations for business incubators; 3. Lack of buffering (i.e. light trespass, noise, service vehicles) between businesses and adjacent residential uses is an issue; 4. RB zone takes away housing from neighborhood; 5. Great zone for neighborhood business; 6. Essential to the lifecycle of the city. Allows a small business in a home on a busy road until a future date when a conversion to another use is viable; 7. Preserves property; 8. California Avenue would be a good spot for additional RB zoning; 9. The purpose statement should indicate that the RB zone is a transition zone; 10. Include how to mitigate impacts when small businesses become really successful; 11. Parking and traffic are real issues with small businesses due to impacts on abutting residential; ; Allow non residential in historic structures to ensure they are preserved; H. RMU Zones 1. Is the goal to create vertical mixed use or spread it out through a district? Example is 960 E 100 South. It started as an office/residential (eye clinic with residential space for eye doctors; now all residential. I. RO District 1. Use of zone is spotty; a lot of parcels in this district are split zoned. 2. Is the use trying to encourage the reuse of existing buildings for a specific reason? 2) Commercial Zoning Districts A. Commercial Zones General Comments 1. Put Portland language in place of commercial intent statements; 2. Identify commercial zoning as an economic asset to the community B. CN District 1. May be too intensive for small corner areas; standards may be too broad; 2. Need another zone that better fits those former small business lots (former grocery store lots); 3. Impacts of new parking regulations on neighborhood; parking, delivery impacts etc.; 4. Address how the businesses are serviced (alleys access has an impact on residential uses); 5. Hard to find a business that can survive strictly on pedestrian traffic, must address vehicles; .64040 PLNPCM2009-00173 Zoning Distract Purpose Statements Published Date August 5,2009 23 6. Cumulative impact: Eggs in the City restaurant and new development on NE corner of 1300 S 1700 E gets back to °/a of uses in a mixed use area. Is there a way to base uses off of trip generation? Can this be done by reducing vehicle miles traveled; increased density, sustainability? 7. How to deal with the success of small neighborhood businesses C. CB District 1. CB maybe utilize this zone differently. See the University Commercial area. It is the same zoning as Smiths on 9th and 9th. 2. CB and CN have similar impacts, but because of the size allowed in CB the cumulative impacts are greater. 3. Look at carrying capacity of adjacent roads. D. CC District E. CG District 1. Pedestrian access needs to be thought about for uses like Big Box retail. Can be geared toward the car and oriented to the street and still take into account the pedestrian 2. Address connectivity issues with adjacent and nearby residential uses and find ways to penetrate the property without using cars. F. TC-75 District 1. The purpose statement doesn't emphasize housing although the standards in the zone do. 2. Issues with zoning in general are that it doesn't take into account compatibility regulations with abutting uses. 3. There is a fine balance between incentives and regulation. 4. Problem is that it addresses a corridor versus a node. 5. Node concept could be applied to North Temple and West Temple as well. 3) Manufacturing Zoning Districts A. M-1 District & M-2 1. Include services that provide a convenience to the employees working in the manufacturing industries. 4) Downtown Zoning Districts A. D1 District 1. Nothing about housing in D1, D-2. 2. Increase entertainment, tourism, hospitality in D-1; 3. Include sustainability in all zones. NICK- WASN'T SUSTAINABILITY SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE 1N ALL OF THE ZONES (I.E. PUT SHI ISSUE UP ON THE FIRST PAGE?) B. D-2 District 1. Nothing about housing D-2. 2. Include sustainability in all zones. C. D-3 District 1. Include sustainability in all zones. D. D-4 District 1. D-4 may be becoming the hospitality/entertainment district; 2. Include sustainability in all zones. 5) Gateway Zoning District A. GMU District 1. Incorporate gateway neighborhood into downtown better. a. Perhaps add the gateway zone as a downtown zone? PLNPCM2009-00173 Zoning District Purpose Statements Published Date August 5,2009 24 6) Special Purpose Zoning Districts A. I District 1. How to deal with buffering these uses when they are in neighborhoods (Westminster College, Judge Memorial, etc) 2. Include the word private by public and semi public so it matches UI district language. B. EI District 1. Typically abut open space or manufacturing. 2. Include REGULATIONS RELATING TO impacts on adjacent properties and users. 7) Next Steps A. Draft Purpose Statement Language to address issues B. Review of Draft language by task force C. Review of Draft language by public at open house. D. Review of draft language by Planning Commission E. Planning Commission Public Hearing F. Proposed language transmitted to City Council G. City Council briefing H. City Council Public Hearing and adoption April 27, 2009 The City needs to prepare a Vision Statement for what it wants which includes businesses not being a burden to neighborhoods but rather an integral part of what makes the neighborhoods vibrant and the City thrive. Don't Amok make commercial uses suffrage to the other types of uses. Foothill Residential Zones How do you decide where to map the different foothill residential zones? What dictates what the minimum lot size should be (is it the master plan, sensitive lands, etc?) That reasoning should be reflected in the different purpose statements for residential foothill zones. Since the construction of a single-family home is development, clarify that the purpose is to protect the natural area from intensive development by only allowing low intensive, low density types of residential development rather than allowing typical residential subdivision type of development. R-1 and Multi-Family Residential zones Don't use the term "other uses." No one knows what that means. Uses that are appropriate in some of the more intensive /higher density multi-family zones are not appropriate in the lower intensive / lower density multi-family zones. Use language to focus and encourage development of the primary use of the zone. Since these are residential zones, use language that encourages residential uses, rather than other uses that are also allowed in the zone. Residential / mixed use types of zones When the Co-Housing development was being built in Glendale, it was problematic to try and cluster the housing to provide more open space. They also desired to add some commercial services which would have helped make the residential area more vibrant but were not allowed to because of the zoning district. PLNPCM2009-00173 Zoning District Purpose Statements Published Date: August 5,2009 25 There needs to be a conversation about a larger vision- umbrella statement that helps foster the mix of uses and i .es the desire for the commercial uses with the residential uses to make the neighborhoods more vibrant. Where is it ok to build the 9th and 9th types of commercial centers? Are they appropriate anywhere or just in certain areas? The language in the purpose statements is appropriate. It ties back to the master plan and is general enough to be flexible. The use tables identify the appropriate uses for the zones so the purpose statements don't need to be that specific (in terms of what types of uses are appropriate). Put language in the Residential Intent Statements to identify that some districts are to foster mixed use developments. Do we need a purpose statement for the SR-IA zoning district? For the zones that have a number relating to height in the title, ensure that in the purpose statements include the digit as well as spell out the number. It makes it easier to see for those using the ordinance; i.e. RMF-30; spell out "thirty" as well as "(30)." Can you put in the purpose statement what the maximum height in the zone is so people aren't confused as to what the number refers to? Many think the number relates to the maximum density allowed. Should we define "Adverse Impact?" The definition is different depending on what the zone is. R� __Jae Create a walkable, vibrant neighborhood. RB is a commercial zone. Remove it from the Residential Chapter. (Staff has determined that it may be appropriate to put all of the mixed use types of zones into a new mixed use zoning district chapter) Get rid of the bias to single-family uses. Delete the language "preserve attractiveness for single family uses" and keep the language about mitigating adverse impacts (on any use, not just residential). Preserve desirability for residential development Focus on business, small business. Don't discriminate on businesses. If the regulations are too advantageous to business, the residential will be impacted. Focus on compatibility between the two uses (residential and commercial). The issue for commercial uses is intensity of the use. Need to focus on where the different intensities of commercial uses are appropriate. Are there instances where residential land use has negatively impacted/ done damage to commercial land uses? C . of when business gets too successful for the existing site. PLNPCM2009-00]73 Zoning District Purpose Statements Published Date August 5,2009 26 There can be a nice residential area with supportive commercial uses. Need to allow enough density and a variety of circulation modes to ensure businesses can thrive. olow Can't say only locally owned businesses. It is difficult to development a mixed use / walkable City due to ➢ the width of the street, ➢ the low density / intensity of uses, ➢ the difficulty in finding developers to build mixed use and financiers to finance it. Encroachment of business is the issue. The abutting residential use moves out and the business moves to that lot or else the property is not maintained. The RB is the least intensive mixed use zoning district in the City. The others get more intensive (RMU-35, RMU-45 etc.) What is Transit? Does that include bus and light rail? There are many bus routes that are in residential areas and on residential streets where it would not be appropriate to allow mixed use or commercial development along the entire corridor. The purpose of the RB zoning district is to ensure that the character of the use fits in. 1100 East is a good example. It is not a strip mall development. Size matters. This type of zone would be good along California Avenue in the Glendale Neighborhood. RMU-35, RMU-45 and RMU district. • Reinforce mix of residential and commercial uses. Change the title of RMU to RIAU-75. RO zone. This is an adaptive reuse zoning district, which is appropriate. Topics not related to the Purpose District Language. In the RMF-30 zoning district, single family and two family dwellings are also allowed. However, a 30 foot height maximum is problematic, in terms of compatibility, for single-family and two family dwellings. In the RMF-35 zoning district, a single-family or two-family dwelling is allowed to be 35 feet high, which is generally not compatible with other similar uses. Can you have a lower height for single-family and two family dwellings in the multi-family zoning districts? Does not having a lower height encourage demolition? Need to look at changing the zoning maps to ensure where the various zones are mapped is appropriate for the area. An example where it is not correct is in the 1300 East 200 South business area. It is zoned CB. Should it be zoned CN? Look at rezoning 400 South east of 700 East to RMU-45 rather than a Transit Corridor zone.

Continued Discussion on Revised Purpose Statements Comments and questions that were raised at the Task Force meeting are listed below. Please note that because the "-vor has initiated a petition to analyze various regulations associated with small business in the City, the p statements relating to CN and CB were referred to that process and not reviewed as part of this project. Commercial Districts CS Community Shopping District 1. How do you make this compatible with adjacent areas? Standards such as building setbacks, shielding lights, etc. 2. Do existing CS zones have any review? Additions of a certain size or new principal buildings automatically trigger the Planned Development process 3. How do you promote compatibility? Through appropriate design standards, mass and scale, building setbacks, etc. We can look at wording this differently. CC Corridor Commercial 1. What does "appropriate design standards" mean? Everyone will have a different idea of what that means. We can look at different language. 2. Is it "promote compatibility" or mitigate difference? The verbiage was chosen to try to get away from negative language in the ordinance. 3. Why haven't we gotten away from long zoning corridors that are auto focused? Corridor type of zoning . - is one way to create a buffer between large, busy roads and less intensive land uses, such as residential. 4. How do we encourage a different type of development? C Commercial Sugar House Business District 1. No proposed changes PLNPCM2009-00173 Zoning District Purpose Statements Published Date. August 5,2009 28 CG General Commercial AomoN 1. The purpose statement doesn't embrace alternate (non-auto) forms of transportation. We should encourage non polluting means of transportation. 2. Can we mix housing into the purpose statement? 3. Setbacks and entrances are often car oriented. Can we address that? 4. Why are all of the acronyms backwards? TC-75 Transit Corridor with a 75 foot height maximum 1. Belongs in mixed use chapter 2. Heavy emphasis on residential 3. Need to be specific about distance from a transit stop. The Planning Division is looking at developing a transit station oriented development district versus a corridor district. Downtown Districts D-1 Central Business District 1. Clarify that this is the most intense zone in Salt Lake City 2. This gives good image of what this is about. Need to do more of this in the other districts. 3. What is the policy on saving a historic façade vs. saving an entire building? We need to look at tax credits, RDA assistance, or other incentives to encourage preservation. More of a carrot vs. a stick. Historic applies to districts or landmark sites. 4. Add "office" to purpose statements Anot D-2 Downtown Support District 1. Emphasis on urban neighborhoods and uses. 2. Are all historic buildings to be saved? Why is it mentioned in the purpose statement? Need to use incentives for historic preservation. 3. Zoning doesn't have anything to do with "historic" maybe talk about preserving historic fabric instead? 4. Economic development needs to dovetail with zoning. D-3 Downtown Warehouse /Residential District 1. This statement is clearer on the historic issues, with an emphasis on reuse. 2. Can we work sustainability more into all of the purpose statements? 3. Need more than just retail on first floor. What about office, residential, etc? 4. Don't prohibit residential on first floor. D-4 Downtown Secondary Central Business District 1. This needs a new name, maybe even cultural district, or an overlay, etc. 2. City isn't getting what it bargained for with this district. 3. Need to identify what existed historically and give it a name. • 4. What about using this as something else and create a convention center overlay zone? 5. Perhaps it could be called Convention Center District or Salt Palace District? PLNPCM2009-00173 Zoning District Purpose Statements Published Date: August 5,2009 29 Gateway C gateway mixed use 1. Morph into a downtown zone. 2. What does "controlled" mean? Can we use different language, like regulate? Manufacturing M-1 Light Manufacturing 1. No mention of residential. What are those residential uses that are already there? They are already nonconforming. The purpose statement is changing to reflect this zone being used primarily for manufacturing and uses that support the manufacturing uses. 2. What about the Rescue Mission and other institutional uses? 3. What about area just north of Gateway? What is going on there in terms of the Ivi- 1 zoning? M-2 Heavy Manufacturing 1.

I see that we are supposed to get our comments to you on these Purpose Statements. Here are my thoughts. 1 The Intent Statement has the most important language regarding what people can and should do in these zones. Mentioning uses that are not appropriate, may avoid some problems in the future. _ The M-1 and M-2 designations (between "light" and "heavy") seem to be only a gradation difference, and have little bearing on businesses already here. 3. The statement in M-1 (industrial uses that produce no appreciable impact) seems totally out of place, and should be removed. Every business has an impact, even if it is just a transportation impact, a visual impact, a noise impact, a dust impact, a risk impact, or a smell impact. I think the sensing for both Zones, is that they (both) may have all these things, but the M-2 Zone can have the biggest, the most intensive, the loudest, the"heaviest" etc , etc. Thank you for the opportunity to comment.

As I review the current iteration you have provided, I am left with the same concern I had previously with the M1 wording ("industrial uses that produce no appreciable impact on adjacent properties"). I would think that particular wording would be appropriate for Industrial Parks, or planned sub-divisions within M-1, but the M-1 Zone in general should allow for "light" impacts, or "some" impacts on surrounding businesses, just as the M-2 Heavy Manufacturing Zone allows for "larger and more intensive" impacts on surrounding uses. I guess my concern, as we reviewed the businesses on the North Side of 900 South in the M-1 Zone, is that these are some of the "heaviest" M-1 Light Manufacturing businesses in the area, and there are impacts between these businesses even if they are just visual, or odor, or noise, or dust, etc., etc. I guess one solution might be to re-classify this 900 South strip as M-2, but it still seems to me that the terminology "no appreciable impact" is unrealistic for M-1.

I am not sure how we can be more emphatic how enormous the difference in paradigms is between the Portland Statements and our current and Draft Statements; and just how important a paradigm like Portland's is to effecting a materially better outcome in Salt Lake. If the powers that be at the City are really unwilling to adopt this paradigm, as a ZAP committee member, may I respecfully ask why not? I would greatly appreciate a response. For your reference, I am pasting language from my 3/1 email (including the Portland Statements) to you, below. Sorry if it's redundant. But, I think it is a mission-critical issue for the City. Purpose Statements in the zoning codes are extremely important in that they are the fundamental reference point for both interpretation and execution of the rest of the code. The current non-CDB PurposeStatements obliquely imply that non-CBD business districts are squatters in neighborhoods and need to be disciplined and controlled. Unless I've lost track, which I may have because it's been a year or two since I revisited them, all of the Non-CBD zone Purpose Statements start with something to the effect of"...to provide the opportunities for businesses to exist, while limiting negative impacts on neighborhoods.". Why is it that when "neighborhood business" gets mentioned, the next thought is "negative impact", INSTEAD OF "tax base", "jobs", "vibrancy", "gathering places", "community" or "neighborhood assets"? And why is it "exist" instead of "thrive"? Businesses truly are gems of our neighborhoods and a principal tax base, not squatters. And somehow there needs to be a distinct paradigm shift by the City to nurture these areas instead of just restricting them. How? This is part of the economic conundrum the City now faces - that these areas have not been nutured, directly or indirectly by the City as they have in other places (see Portland's code exerpt, below). So, I cannot stress how important, it seems to me, that the Purpose Statements are modified with robust input from not only the business community, and residents, but also from the City's Economic Development arm. This paragraph pertains to the proposed revisions to Purpose Statements in the Conditional Use Ordinance from last year (I am not sure if they were revised or not): I am concerned about the revised purpose statements in the CN ("pedestrian as primary user") and CB zones ("pedestrian in " "° orientation and scale"). This language may seem subtle and inconsequential. But, this type of potentially restrictive, language has the potential (and has been so used in the past) to be the lever that certain folks use as the justification for unfriendly restrictions to businesses - both general (arguing for further use limitations within a district,e.g, no dry cleaners);and specific(e.g. lobbying against a particular business'conditional use application,or shared,off-site parking arrangement). Th- -outine is-"Well, it's inconsistent with the purpose statement for this zone". I certainly do not i to imply that we should ignore pedestrian orientation nor the importance of shifting more toward pedestrian friendliness as a means to sustaniability. But,at the same time,this is a slippery slope, which has the potential to be to disadvantage property owners and entrepeneurs-especially small ones and start-ups;and little potential that I can see to be helpful to them(at least in the absence of linked economic development measures). I am unaware of any precedent in SLC for business viability in these zones which relies,or could rely, predominantly on foot traffic.And there doesn't seem to be prospect for such viability, until the City's mass transit system is considerably more robust and considerably more heavily utilized,which clearly is not a near term possibility. Further, it it inconsistent with the City's own data and planning patterns pertaining to Transit Oriented Developments,which, unless I am mistaken, rely on pedestrians being willing to walk NO FURTHER than 5 blocks from transit stops to residence,work or shopping. I'm not aware of a single business outside the CBD which does a significant portion, let alone a predominance of its business,from foot traffic from a five block radius?. How about purpose statements that emphasize the viability and vibrancy of the businesses and districts as economic engines and community gathering places? After all,these are BUSINESS districts,not squatters in residential enclaves. Why should there be purpose statements that imply that the existence of these districts is problematic, instead of those which emphasize the necessary community functions they provide and the remarkable community assets and tax base which they represent(and the even more remarkable ones the COULD represent)? In my opinion, I would respectfully suggest that we are never going to get to"long term viable", let alone, 'World class" without this paradigm shift PORTLAND PURPOSE STATEMENTS: T the"General"Purpose Statement of Portland commercial zones(from 33.130.010;each ire,.,✓idual zone,e.g. CN-1, has it's own Purpose Statement,but they each have a similar tone to this; CAPS are added by me for emphasis): "The commercial zones implement the commercial policies and plan map designations of the Comprehensive Plan. The zones are for areas of the City designated by the Comprehensive Plan for Commercial uses. The differences in the zones reflect the diversity of commercial areas in the City. The zones are distinguished by the uses allowed and the intensity of development allowed. Some of the zones ENCOURAGE areas that are SUPPORTIVE of surrounding residential areas,while other zones allow commercial areas which have a community or regional market. The regulations PROMOTE uses and development which will ENHANCE THE ECONOMIC VIABILITY OF THE SPECIFIC COMMERCIAL DISTRICT AND THE CITY AS A WHOLE. in general,A WIDE RANGE OF USES is allowed in each zone. Limits on the intensity of uses and the development standards promote the desired character for the commercial area. The development standards are designed to ALLOW A LARGE DEGREE OF DEVELOPMENT FLEXIBILITY within parameters which support the intent of the specific zone. In addition,the regulations PROVIDE CERTAINTY to property owners, developers, and neighbors about the limits of what is allowed. I respectfully submit that two key elements to successful non-CBD districts are strongly implied here: First,that there is a necessary linkage between zoning code and economic development with respect to these areas; and second,that the properties are given as much flexibility,support and certainty as possible, in order to encourage entrepreneurial risk. Please take a moment to compare this Purpose Statement to those appearing in SLC's code and see if you do not agree that, at present we do not have the right language or the right economic development/entrepreneurial support infrastructure to g'• to a world-class place.

One other thought.... As you are aware the City went to no small expense of time and money to have the community survey done and the open houses hosted in association with the Conditional Use ordininace. The result was some fairly clear community feedback that additional local business was desired in proximity to residential, that existing business was highly valued, and even which types of uses were desired. The info came from a much broader swath of the community than is reflected by the task force which is currently meeting. Given that effort and outcome, why is it desirable for us to revisit the issue of permitted uses?

There was an implication that there isn't really much difference between the CB and CN zones. I Ask would differ with that conclusion for the following reasons. The CN zone Purpose Statement indicates that the zones are located WITHIN residential neighborhoods. These zones tend to be no more than a dozen or so properties, tops. This zone addresses 'small scale uses'. Also, unless I am mistaken, these are all located on streets with low traffic designations. This all implies a local to semi-regional draw. By contrast, the CB zone Purpose Statement indicates that the zones are located ADJACENT TO residential neighborhoods (implying a distinction between the commercial and residential areas, which I think is a reflection of current reality). These zones tend to be much larger than the CN zones, in both property numbers and the numbers of businesses in a given zone. The CB zone addresses 'moderately sized' structures. These zones tend to be on arterials and/or major collectors. This all implies local AND regional to extra-regional draw. As an example, 9th & 9th where my business is located, is CB/RB zoned, and is the junction of an arterial and a major collector. Also, folks don't often realize that (when last I counted), there are 45 commercially zoned properties and in excess of 60 businesses in the zone (18 and 35, respectively, in the "Core" CB zone). It is one of the larger non-CBD, non-commercial corridor districts in SLC. So, I think there really is a meaningful distinction between the CN and CB zones. Personally, I don't think that the CN zone reflects properties that are excessive in size or lot size for location WITHIN residential districts. After one takes into account the setback requirements (especially on a corner, where there is setback impact on two sides) and the landscape buffer, which comes into play when a property abuts residential, there is scarcely enough utilizable ground to make building, reconstructing or renovating an economically viable incentive for an entrepeneur. I would encourage you to do the math on a few of these properties. It's pretty enlightening as far as how limiting the existing regulations really are. I can nearly promise you that if there is further restriction placed on the size or footprint of the properties in this zone, we will simultaneously be creating an entrepeneurial disincentive. Especially in economic times like these, we need to be very careful about restrictions to entrepeneurialism and reduction in the utility of commercial property, if our goals are sustainability and economic viability for the city as a whole.

I respectfully submit that two key elements to successful non-CBD districts are strongly implied here: First,that there is a necessary linkage between zoning code and economic development with respect to these areas;and second,that the properties are given as much flexibility,support and certainty as possible, in order to encourage entrepreneurial risk. Please take a moment to compare this Purpose Statement to those appearing in SLC's code and see if you do not agree that,at present we do not have the right language or the right economic development/entrepreneurial support infrastructure to get us to a world-class place.

It does not seem appropriate to include independent living facilities in the Institutional zone. They are RMF-whatever, but apartments for senior citizens are not an institutional use. Facilities for assisted living are more of a gray area because there are levels within assisted living. Still, I think it is questionable to include assisted living within the Institutional zone.

See how. oak Amok Attachment C contains public comment regarding the role that the Commercial District Statement of Intent plays in relation to the purpose statements for the individual commercial zoning districts. The Planning Commission has the option to propose changes to the City Council regarding the Commercial Districts statement of intent found in zoning ordinance section 21A.26.010 A. The public comment recommends that the Planning Commission include the following intent statement as part of their recommendation to the City Council: The commercial zones implement the commercial policies and plan map designations of the Comprehensive Plan. The zones are for areas of the City designated by the Comprehensive Plan for Commercial uses. The differences in the zones reflect the diversity of commercial areas in the City. The zones are distinguished by the uses allowed and the intensity of development allowed. Some of the zones encourage areas that are supportive of surrounding residential areas, while other zones allow commercial areas which have a community or regional market. The regulations promote uses and development which will enhance the economic viability of the specific commercial district and the city as a whole. In general, a wide range of uses is allowed in each zone. Limits on the intensity of uses and the development standards promote the desired character for the commercial area. The development standards are designed to allow a large degree of development flexibility within parameters which support the intent of the specific zone. In addition, the regulations provide certainty to property owners, developers, and neighbors about the limits of what is allowed. The above statement is from Portland, Oregon's zoning code. In reviewing this statement and comparing it the City's current statement of intent, Planning Staff is of the opinion that the intent statement should be altered to provide a clear succinct vision of the role of the commercial zoning districts. Planning staff is also of the opinion that the existing statement includes some goals that are important and consistent with the City's adopted policies related to commercial development. If the Planning Commission determines that changes should be made to the overall intent statement for the Commercial Zoning Districts, Planning Staff recommends that the Commission consider an intent statement that is a combination of the two. Below is a proposal produced by Staff that combines the current intent statement with what is being proposed by the Task Force representatives from the business community: 21A.26.010 General Provisions: Statement Of Intent: Salt Lake City commercial districts are intended to enhance the economic vitality of the specific commercial districts and the City as a whole, encourage sustainable and profitable businesses, create dynamic and vital business districts, and implement the adopted • - development policies of the City. The zoning districts differ in the range and intensity of uses to reflect the diverse nature of the commercial areas within the City. Some zoning districts encourage commercial development that supports residential neighborhoods while other zoning districts promote community and regional commercial areas. Each zoning district includes standards and and uses that are intended to provide certainty to property owners, business owners and neighbors about what is allowed and to enhance employment opportunities, encourage efficient use of land and to enhance property values and the tax base. The standards are intended to allow development PLNPCM2009-00173 Zoning District Purpose Statements Published Date August 5,2009 34 flexibility within parameters_that support the purpose statement of the individual zoning districts and promote the desired character for the commercial area. The above statement is generally consistent with the factors to be considered when reviewing proposed changes to the text of the Zoning Ordinance. The proposed statement of intent references the adopted policies of the City as they relate to commercial development. Any change to the statement of intent would not create any new regulation or standard that could cause an adverse impact to property. The proposed changes would not impact any existing overlay district. Because the standards in each zoning district determine the intensity of use, the proposed changes would not have an impact on any public infrastructure or utility. The Planning Commission, if it wants to make amendments to the Commercial Districts Statement of Intent, would have to include language in the motion made regarding this proposal. The Planning Commission has the following options regarding changes to the proposed Commercial District Intent Statement: • The Commission can include in the motion a recommendation to the City Council to include the proposed intent statement as indicated above; • The Commission can make a recommendation to the City Council that does not include the proposed changes to the commercial intent statement; or • The Commission can table the Petition and direct staff to further analyze the proposed changes to the intent statement prior to making a decision on the matter. • PLNPCM2009-00173 Zoning District Purpose Statements Published Date: August 5,2009 35 SALT LAKE CITY PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING In Room 326 of the City & County Building 451 South State Street, Salt Lake City, Utah Wednesday, July 8, 2009 Present for the Planning Commission meeting were Vice Chair Susie McHugh; Commissioners Michael Gallegos, Angela Dean, Michael Fife, Tim Chambless, Kathleen Hill, Matthew Wirthlin. and Babs De Lay.

PM PLNPCM2009-00173; Zoning District Purpose Statements—a briefing regarding amendments to the Purpose Statements for the Residential, Commercial, Manufacturing, Downtown, Gateway and Special Purpose Zoning Districts. The purpose of the zoning text amendments is to ensure that the purpose statements are consistent with and reflect the overall purpose of Title 21A, ensure that the individual zones fulfill the intent statement of Part III of Title 21A, remove contradictory statements and assist in the administration of the Zoning Ordinance. The proposed changes are city-wide. Acting Chair McHugh recognized Nick Norris as staff representative. Mr. Norris stated that this was a follow-up briefing to the work session in June regarding conditional use issues the City Council had came up with. He stated that staff was looking to remove any contradictory statements as well as the zoning districts should also be implementing the policies of all the applicable master plans. He stated that the purpose statements were consistent with the overall intent statement of the zoning ordinance, so these proposed changes should improve and become a stronger tool for staff when it comes to zoning interpretations. Mr. Non-is stated that the zoning ordinance statements were divided into classification types: residential, commercial, manufacturing, downtown, gateway, and special purpose. He stated that within each one of these there were several specific zoning districts and each had a statement explaining what they were intended to do. Mr. Norris stated that staff had worked with the City assembled taskforce to help with all of the zoning amendments and they also reviewed why the zone exists, what it was trying to do, where it was appropriate, ;npacted, And how to make the purposes reality. He stated that they also compared this to purpose statements from Portland. Oregon. PLNPCM2009-00173 Zoning District Purpose Statements Published Date August 5,2009 37 Commissioner De Lay stated that after reading through this, jargon such as sustainability and live/work were not found within the document. She wondered if staff had found such words inappropriate. Mr. Norris stated that one of the reasons for that was staff was trying to make the language very specific regarding what each district was trying to do. He stated that a lot of those concepts were built into the purpose statements without using those specific words and actually there was a conscious effort to stay away from some of those terms because a lot of them were ambiguous and meant very different things to different people. He stated that staff wanted to focus on what that district was intending to do. Commissioner Dean stated that she felt these were great values, but how was staff translating them into the actual ordinance. Mr. Norris stated that was what the standards were for, and at this point in time those standards had not specifically been looked at, but staff had identified some that may not correlate to the purpose statements that may need to be looked at; for example in the TC-75 zoning district there were some standards within that which need to be modified in order to actually fulfill that purpose. Commissioner Hill stated that she liked the use of the word, and the concept of pedestrians throughout the entire document. _ Commissioner Dean inquired if there were current design standards for commercial corridors. Mr. Norris stated that there were certain standards built into the various districts that would be design standards. Commissioner Fife inquired if there was a definition of how many units per acre would make a sustainable ' ^ community. Mr. Norris stated that it would vary on what type of community was being created and what was sustainable for that community, for example in an urban core the answer would be as many units as possible. There were some studies that recommended 50 units per acre and up depending on what type of development it was. Commissioner Muir inquired if preserving urban fabric was relevant in the D-1 zone, or if it should be changed to preserving contributing structures. Mr. Norris stated the RDA had mentioned something about that and staff would look into it. The meeting adjourned at 7:SS p.m. A.

SALT LAKE CITY PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING In Room 326 of the City & County Building 451 South State Street, Salt Lake City, Utah Wednesday, August 12, 2009 Present for the Planning Commission meeting were Chair Mary Woodhead Vice Chair Susie McHugh; Commissioners Michael Gallegos, Angela Dean, Frank Algarin, Michael Fife, Prescott Muir, Tim Chambless, Matthew Wirthlin, and Babs De Lay. Commissioner Kathleen Hill was excused. A field trip was held prior to the meeting. Planning Commissioners present were: Frank Algarin, Tim Chambless, Angela Dean, Michael Fife, Michael Gallegos, Kathleen Hill, Susie McHugh, Prescott Muir, Matthew Wirthlin, and Mary Woodhead. Staff members present were: Dough Dansie and Cheri Coffey. A roll is being kept of all who attended the Planning Commission Meeting. Chair Woodhead called the meeting to order at 5:46 p.m. Audio recordings of the Planning Commission meetings are retained in the Planning Office for an indefinite period of time. Planning staff members present at the meeting were: Wilford Sommerkorn, Planning Director; Pat Comarell, Assistant Planning Director; Cheri Coffey, Programs Manager; Paul Neilson, City Attorney; Ray Milliner, Principal Planner; Nick Norris, Senior Planner; Doug Dansie, Senior Planner; Nick Britton; Principal Planner; Angela Hasenberg, Senior Secretary; and Lucille Taylor, Senior Secretary. 8:48:01 PM PLNPCM2009-00173; Zoning District Purpose Statements—a request by the Salt Lake City Council to amend the Purpose Statements for the Residential, Commercial, Manufacturing, Downtown, Gateway and Special Purpose Zoning Districts. The purpose of the zoning text amendments is to ensure that the purpose statements are consistent with and reflect the overall purpose of the Zoning Ordinance, ensure that the individual zones fulfill the intent statement of the zoning districts, remove contradictory statements and assist in the administration of the Zoning Ordinance. The proposed amendments are city-wide. View: Staff Report Chair Woodhead recognized Nick Norris as staff representative. Mr. Norris stated that staff had met with members of the business community to look at the intent statement for the Commercial Zoning Districts, and they made a proposal to the City to include changes, which were reflected in Attachment D of the staff report. Mr. Norris stated that the City had started a comprehensive analysis of the CB and CN Zones and where they were appropriate, and staff felt that it would be appropriate to let those purpose statements be reviewed during that process. 8:50:41 PM Public Hearing Chair Woodhead opened the public hearing portion of the petition. The following people spoke or submitted cards in support of the petition: Betsy Burton (1363 end Avenue) stated that planning should be about the vision of community and its regulatory function should come down from that overarching vision; however, it seemed this was not how Salt Lake City worked. She stated that if the City's vision was for a vibrant, textured, diverse community that was economically successful because of that vibrancy, then the purpose statement and language should incorporate the ideas and vision that governed the City. She stated that Salt Lake City seemed to be regulatory in nature and everything flowed up on an individual basis. One of the problems with that was that the noisy residences got a lot of attention and sometimes the majority opinion was not ever really heard. She stated that the ZAP hearings were really a fight of one or two businesses against a room full of residents arguing over the language and losing ground. She stated that the process was wrong, there had to be a different process where the City worked down from a vision, and not up from neighborhood arguments that pitted businesses against neighbors, which was how the City currently operated. Commissioner De Lay asked for suggestions. She stated that the City just went through this with the Preservation Plan, where she had raised issues with developing businesses in the future, but the City also had no control over who showed up to the meetings. Ms. Burton stated that one of the issues was when a petition involved a business, neighbors had a lot of time and business owners did not, so the system became unequal from the beginning. She stated that one idea would be to educate businesses, but the other thing was the City should keep in mind the overarching vision and maybe some of these issues would go away. Commissioner De Lay stated that was why the City had master plans. Ms. Burton stated that there still needed to be a vision statement to piece all of those together, to give Commissioners and staff something to work from, and the language in that statement needed to be part of each of the purpose statements to become more synchronized. Chair Woodhead stated that staff was beginning to work on a general plan for the City that would incorporate that idea. Mr. Sommerkorn stated that Mr. Norris worked on the purpose statements, and Ms. Burton was talking about an intent statement, and on Page 34 of the staff report Mr. Norris had included the proposed intent statement, which was more of that overarching idea that Ms. Burton mentioned. Commissioner Chambless inquired how the City should go about creating a vision that transcends the divisions of socio-economic class and religion. Ms. Burton stated that most of these issues could be resolved in a way that created a stronger community. Part of what she resented about the way the City government worked right now, was that it pitted people of the community against each other. Commissioner De Lay stated that she did not think people would disagree with Ms. Burton, because it would make the community better for all of us, but there was not really a platform to flip it around automatically, the only solution now was to keep trying to change it. She stated that the Commission would say to the community come testify, we'll listen to your opinion. She stated that the Planning Department had an incredible staff right now, and it was working well; everyone was open to change because the City was growing and we all want it to be better. Commissioner De Lay committed to looking at the Planning Commissions Policies and Procedures to see where unbiased communication may be strengthened to aid it giving different groups of the community more of an opportunity to express concerns and ideas with the Commission during meetings. Commissioner Muir stated that Ms. Burton was present tonight to give feedback, but the residences she had mentioned were not. He noted that this was the nature of the public process and inquired if there was anything in the purpose statements that she was specifically concerned about. Ms. Burton stated that the second draft of the purpose statements had change completely from the first draft she had worked with staff on. She stated that she thought that Mayor Becker's vision was that things were going to get easier, not harder for small business owners—and the second draft seemed pretty onerous. Mr. Sommerkorn stated that Ms. Burton was referring to non-conforming uses. ' Chair Woodhead stated that when issues come before the Commission from one of the taskforce processes, people who participated in that taskforce should not consider that version as the final version. She stated that the Commission was happy to take testimony regarding a member of a taskforce that did not agree with the version of the taskforce. She stated that to some extent the taskforce process really only worked if people were willing to do that. Commissioner Muir suggested that Ms. Burton go through this second draft of this purpose statement and formulate a written reaction for the City Council to review. Steven Rosenberg (1520 Harrison Avenue) stated that he served on the conditional use taskforce, as well as on the ZAP taskforce. He stated that Nick Norris, Cheri Coffey, and Wilford Sommerkorn should all be commended for the work that was put into that, but the City's Planning and Zoning Departments have been playing defense for so long, that the City was no longer playing offense in terms of economic development. He stated the hockey stadium was lost to West Valley City, the newspaper facility was lot to West Valley City, the Soccer stadium was lost to Sandy, and when you think of places where you have traveled that you love, they were all places that have vibrant business neighborhoods. He stated that it was important that the entire Community and Economic Development department be placed in the position to play offense. He stated that in the current economy there are many who have lost their jobs, and he would hate to think that they would have to leave Salt Lake City because the City cannot offer them one here. Esther Hunter (1049 Norris Place) stated that the ZAP process was incredible, and things were starting to change because of discussions with all people involved. She stated it seems that the City was moving away from involving community councils and that is not the solution. Chair Woodhead closed the public hearing. Ms. Coffey stated that in the future staff would do a better job to address the outlines of the taskforce, and why they decided a certain way. more clearly in the staff reports, so the Commission had a better idea of that process, and how staff was dealing with that input. 9:16:25 PM Motion Commissioner Wirthlin made a motion regarding Petition PLNPCM2009-00173, based on the analysis and findings listed in the staff report, staff presentation, and public comment and discussion, the Planning Commission transmits a favorable recommendation to the City Council regarding amending the general intent statement for the Commercial Zoning Districts and purpose statements for Residential Commercial Manufacturing/downtown Gateway, and Special Purpose Zoning Districts for the following reasons: 1. The proposed amendments are consistent with the recommendations, policies and actions found in the Salt Lake City Futures Commission Report, the Salt Lake City Vision, and Strategic Plan Final Report and the Salt Lake City Housing Plan; 2. The proposed amendments are consistent with the general purpose and intent of the Zoning Ordinance as stated in Zoning Ordinance section 21A.02.030; 3. The proposed amendments are generally consistent with the factors of consideration for zoning amendments found in Zoning Ordinance Section 21A.50.050; and 4. The proposed amendments do not create any new zoning regulations that would adversely impact property within the City. Commissioner Dean seconded the motion. Commissioners De Lay, Algarin, Dean, Gallegos, Fife, Chambless, Muir, Wirthlin, and McHugh voted, "Aye". The motion passed unanimously. Memorandum to i:r1i �7 File -'''' ''''''''' Community&Economic Development Office of the Director To: File From: Cheri Coffey, Planning Manager Date: February 16, 2009 Re: PLNPCM2009-00173- 2009 ZAP Project- Revisions to Zoning District Purpose Statements This project is part of the overall 2009 Zoning Amendment Project (ZAP). The project specifically relates to amending the various Purpose Statements of Individual Zoning Districts. Issue: Review the purpose of several Zoning Districts to determine the appropriateness of adding additional conditional and permitted uses and to clarify the statements to help with use interpretations. Response: Purpose statements are especially helpful when the Zoning Administrator must make an interpretation of a use that is not defined in the zoning ordinance as to whether it should be allowed in a particular zone. Although other changes to the zoning ordinance are proposed to help minimize the need for interpretations, they do arise over time. The Zoning Ordinance currently has a purpose statement for each zoning district. As part of this project, staff will review all of the purpose statements and propose changes to ensure clarity and comprehensiveness as well as to eliminate conflicting phrases in the statements to help facilitate interpretations. Staff will look at the intent statements for each zoning district as well as review purpose statements from other cities to determine appropriate changes.

Purpose of the Salt Lake City Conflict of Interest chapter as stated in Chapter 2.44-"The purpose of this chapter is to prevent improper influence,avoid the appearance of impropriety,and prohibit public e€fieials servants from receiving unjust financial gain from public service. It also seeks to increase public confidence by assuring that of ieiai governmental actions are taken objectively and properly. It is the objective of this chapter to promote these goals by establishing ethical standards of conduct for all officers and employees of the city,including volunteers." History Salt lake City adopted Chapter 2.44"Conflict of Interest"in 1998. Ordinance was amended in 2007: • Section 2.44.040 was expanded and prohibits elected officers,their spouses and children and business entities in which the elected officer has a substantial interest from applying for or receiving a loan or grant of money from the City. • Section 2.44.230 was added and requires elected officials to file a report if someone other than the City pays for the official's travel,lodging or entertainment(but not food or meal)expenses while on official City business.

What does an independent summary and review of Salt Lake City's ordinance show about ethics and conflict of interest provisions that govern elected and appointed Salt Lake City officials? In order to provide a brief discussion of Salt Lake City's conflict of interest ordinance, it is attached as Exhibit 1. See City Code Chapter 2.44—Conflict of Interest. It is important to note that the relevant case law and ethics opinions are necessary to have a full understanding of the ordinance. Your City Attorney should continue to be contacted to address questions regarding the ordinance specifically. The Purpose Statement(2.44.010) is broad in its objective. It reads that the chapter's purpose is to: 1)prevent improper influence; 2)avoid the appearance of impropriety; and 3) prohibit public officials from receiving unjust financial gain from public service. This three-part objective also "seeks to increase public confidence"by assuring that "official actions are taken objectively and properly" and by establishing "ethical standards of conduct."' 2 As with most "intent statements" in legislation,this language is broad and does not mirror the actual ordinance, thus creating inconsistencies.3 The ordinance contains 28 subsections, ranging from Defmitions to Penalties. Definitions. 2.44.020. There is an extensive definitions section which is generally good. Most prominent in its vagueness,however, is the failure to define"personal interests"or City Attorney Ed Rutan admits to an interpretation of the broadly-worded legislative purpose statement in order to protect the citizens'confidence in government and its actions. Rutan notes that the state code provides minimal ethical standards regarding conflict of interest issues. See Utah Code Ann.Title 10,Chapter 3;Title 36,Chapter 11; Title 67,Chapter 16;and Title 76,Chapter 8(criminal provisions). There is limited case law in Utah and city attorneys'ethics opinions have been provided in writing on a case by case basis and upon request generally. To Rutan,any written or oral opinion reveals the balancing test between political philosophy and legal interpretation. July 10,2009 Interview. 2 Review of attorneys'records provides legislative history:the ordinance was originally debated and modified as 2.44 in December 1997 and enacted in 1998;and conflict of interest provisions were amended in January 2007. 3 For example,the purpose statement broadly refers to"public officials"but the ordinance uses the terms"public servants or volunteer public servants"or"elected officer." The purpose statement refers to`official actions"and the ordinance defines and uses"governmental action." These inconsistencies can be easily addressed as provided in attached Exhibit 2. "professional interests." Issues abound with this language because there is no clear nexus 4.111, between financial interests and personal or professional interests.4 The adverb "corruptly" is ` used to define the mental state of acting with a"wrongful intent and for the purpose of receiving any personal, financial, or professional benefit resulting from an act of omission inconsistent with the proper performance of public servant's or volunteer public servant's public duties."5 There is a marked departure from "intentionally and knowingly"as a mental state. The reference to "official actions"in the Purpose Statement remains undefined and is presumably "governmental aotion"throughout the remainder of the ordinance. Disclosure and Disqualification. 2.44.030. The disclosure and disqualification section needs clarification. Rather simply, it could be divided into smaller sections and subsections for easier reference. The two-part test requires: 1)performance of official duty; and 2)reasonable foreseeability of that action to have an individualized material effect, different than its effect on the public generally, on his or her financial,professional, or personal interests. Specifically, the test reads: jilt is reasonably foreseeable that the decision will have an individualized material effect on such interest, distinguishable from its effect on the public generally. A "personal interest"or"professional interest"is not defined. However,the individualized material effect of the decision on such interests must be"distinguishable form its effect on the public generally." See Ethics Opinion,June 15, 2009 (Van Turner,no recusal required on library budget discussions, but disclosure of business location recommended). Prohibited Acts Designated. 2.22.040. These provisions are clear and applicable to public servants or volunteer public servants. This section prohibits disclosure of confidential information. It prohibits corrupt use of official position to further personal, financial or professional interests or to secure special privileges,treatment or exemptions. It prohibits a 4 Scanty guidance is provided in state statute because"personal interest"is used in places but is unilaterally undefined. Utah Code Ann.Section 67-16-9 defines conflict of interest as"personal investments in any business entity which will create a substantial conflict between his private interests and his public duties." Utah Code Ann. Sections 10-3-1301, 10-3-1304,and 10-3-1308 also use the term`personal interests"without any definition. However, Section 10-3-1306 requires a disclosure statement for a"substantial interest in any business entity"and Section 10-3-1308 ties"personal interest or investment"together,thereby inferring a personal interest must contain """" elements of economic gain. Section 76-8-103 prohibits bribery or offering a bribe of"any benefit to another with the purpose to influence an action. . . ." The felony penalty is tied to the monetary value of the benefit. Attached as Exhibit 3. 5 This definition,using the adverb"corruptly"was added as Rider 3A to 12-10-97 draft which referred only to a personal benefit. The language was later broadened to include a financial or professional benefit. 2 financial interest in an entity doing business with the city. It prohibits any elected officer or spouse, etc. from applying for a loan from city. Disclosure of Substantial Interest. 2.44.050. This section is clearly written with a$2,000 basement and a marker at$15,000. Outside Employment. 2.44.060. The outside employment provisions clearly govern city council members who are not considered part-time employees herein. This section mandates that department heads adopt rules and regulations, and it provides procedures for advisory opinions. This section is particularly helpful in its flexibility and pragmatic approach to fact-sensitive issues. This is a good example of clarity with regard to travel and lodging, etc. associated with outside employment and its exception from the gift ban. The transfer of these provisions, such as rulemaking authority and regulatory use,to other sections of ordinance, could be beneficial to address vagueness and frequently asked questions. Transactions Involving the City. 2.44.070. No comment necessary. Accepting or Making Gifts Prohibited. 2.44.080. The gifts prohibited section prohibits knowing receipt, acceptance, taking, seeking, or soliciting of gifts that with reasonable care, the recipient/public servant should know: 1) would influence the recipient to depart from the faithful and impartial discharge of public duties; or 2) is primarily rewarding the public servant for official action taken or not taken. In each instance the terms "public duties"and "official action" are used but undefined generally. Perhaps switching to the defined term of"governmental action"would provide clarity. Gift Prohibition Exemptions. 2.44.090. These provisions reflect a legislative history where significant issues existed regarding gifts received by city officials in 1996. Executive employees were covered specifically but not all municipal employees. No further comment necessary.6 Gifts in Another's Name Prohibited. 2.44.100. This provision is straightforward and easily applied. 6 This author provided an advisory opinion on the propriety of acceptance of Dave Matthews Band Concert tickets. This analysis identifies strengths and weaknesses with the gift ordinance and rather than repeat that analysis, it is provided as Exhibit 4. 3 Recusal. 2.44.110. During the 1997 drafting of this provision,the three-year time limit was questioned by public servants who might be subject to the ban. City Attorney Roger Cutler clearly stated then the time limit would apply in those cases. Public Contracts,Procurement. 2.44.130. The meaning of"discretionary function" in this context is not defined. Presumably case law exists to provide guidance. Employment of Current and Former Public Servants. 2.44.140. Revolving door provision with one-year time limit seems clear. Negotiating Employment. 2.44.150. No comment. Coercion of Business or Contributions. 2.44.160. State criminal provisions could apply depending on context and mens rea. Acquiring Interest in a Business Entity. 2.44.170. No comment. . ► Waivers; Determinations of No Applicability. 2.44.180. These waiver provisions clearly reflect a policy determination. In 1997,the city council affirmatively chose to retain this language. However, in practical terms, the public servant's requesting a waiver appears to be a statement against interest or an admission of the conflict. If an ethical conflict or dilemma arises, how and why should it be waived by colleagues? This self-regulating measure permits waiver in writing under two conditions:there exists no actual bias or favoritism in the performance of official functions and the grant of the waiver is not detrimental to city's interests. The term official functions is undefined again, and perhaps "governmental action"should be the term utilized. The ability of colleagues to determine the nonapplicability of the gift ban, e.g., mayor determines for city council and city council determines for mayor, appears fraught with an appearance of cronyism and potential for deal-making. It would be better to have the city attorney review the applicability of the gift ban and make a determination in writing. Outside opinions can be sought if necessary. 4 Clause in Contracts. 2.44.190. This language was enacted in 1998 and retained without any changes in 2007. It provides a two-way protection for the bidder, offeror or contractor and the city officer or employee. Inducement to Violate Prohibited. 2.44.200. This language should be retained as is and extends to any public servant or volunteer public servant. Bad conduct could fall under criminal provisions if the public servant is a"governmental official"pursuant to Utah Code Ann. 76-8-1. Advisory Powers of City Attorney. 2.44.210. This clearly-worded provision assists by providing clarification and justifiable reliance by the public servant or volunteer public servant. The advisory opinions have been used with varying frequency over the years. Travel, Lodging or Entertainment expenses; Reporting. 2.44.230. This language was recently added in 2007 which requires elected officials to file with the City Recorder a report detailing the amount and nature of these expenses. The report also must include the name of the person or entity that paid the elected official's expenses. Sanctions. 2.44.240. It appears to be imposed only on non-public servants or non- volunteer servants. Appeal rights are not clearly provided but a general grant of due process in included. Appeals. 2.44.250. Appeals. Appellate rights are specifically granted to public servants under the career or civil service system. Voidable Transactions. 2.44.260. No comment necessary. Violation; Penalty. 2.44.270. Misdemeanor applies for"knowingly and intentionally" violating any provision of this chapter although"corruptly" is the mental state provided at the outset. This incongruence should be addressed. On June 8,2007,a summary of"Major Ethics Opinions"was prepared,indicating one in 1999;one in 2000;two in 2002;two in 2003;two in 2004;one in 2005;and four in 2006. In 2008,numerous emails were prepared by Attorney Boyd Ferguson upon request. Attached as Exhibit 5. See also In re Zisa,896 A.2d 1111 (N.J.Super.App. 2006)(mayor's reliance upon`oral"advice of counsel that he could participate in the vote on whether the contractor was qualified and should receive the contract to pave parking spaces,which the mayor rented for the benefit of his tenant in a neighboring property,was reasonable and thus a valid defense to conflict of interest charge.) 5 Misdemeanor to Knowingly File False Complaint. 2.44.280. Misdemeanor exists for knowingly filing a complaint that is frivolous, malicious, false, or otherwise without merit. II. What are some options to clarify the city ordinance? In order to bring needed clarity to the ordinance,the city council could elect to change the definition of personal interest in the following ways: A. Delete "personal interest"throughout the city ordinance altogether. (This seems to be a simple solution. However,the state code utilizes the term. In footnote 4 above, a brief statutory analysis reveals that personal and financial interests are connected in practical terms. B. Define"personal interest"to mean"any direct or immediate economic interest." This clarifies that the personal interest must be direct and realistic enough to include a pecuniary component. C. Define"personal interest"to mean"any economic interest in excess of$2,000.00"or some other arbitrary figure. D. Define "personal interest"to mean any special treatment afforded an elected officer or a direct personal interest such as when an official votes on a matter that benefits a blood relative or close friend in a non-financial way,but it is a matter of great importance. For example, a councilwoman's mother lives in a nursing home subject to a zoning issue under consideration. It is also arguable that the selection and appointment of relatives or spouses to boards or committees might likely become a discouraged practice, because it provides a special treatment to family members by seating them on prestigious boards. As a policy decision,the city council must affirmatively determine to continue its practice of recommending relatives or spouses to board or committee posts. Rulemaking authority or personnel policies could be provided to either ban or permit such practice and under what conditions. In order to bring needed clarity to the ordinance,the city council could elect to change the definition of professional interest in the following ways: 6 A. Remove the term altogether. (Upon legal research of approximately eight cities, none used the term for purposes of disclosure and qualification. B. Define it to mean "a direct or immediate professional benefit"to show a close nexus or relationship between the decision and the decisionmaker's benefit. In order to bring needed clarity to the ordinance,the city council could elect to change the definition of governmental action in the following ways: A. Use the term consistently throughout the purpose statement and the body of the ordinance. Delete the use of the term "official action." B. Amend the term to include "appointive" acts as well as legislative, administrative or discretionary. Park City broadened its definition of governmental action in this fashion. In order to bring needed clarity to the ordinance, delete the use of terms public servant and volunteer public servant throughout and instead use the term"appointed officer"and "elected officer." This mirrors state code and other city ordinances and could be systematically accomplished. In order to bring needed clarity to the ordinance, further define what potential conflict of interest means. In Section 2.44.030 Disclosure and Disqualification, it reads that"it is reasonably foreseeable that the decision shall have an individualized material effect on such [financial,professional, or personal] interests, distinguishable in its effect on the public generally." This standard appears to be workable at present but perhaps the scope of interests could be narrowed or eliminated. In order to bring needed clarity to the ordinance, delete the limiting term executive employee and use the term"municipal employee"instead. 7 III. 44110,, What are the various legal interpretations and cases regarding conflict of interest and "personal" interests in Utah and in other jurisdictions? The city's ordinance, Subsection 2.44.030, governs disclosure and disqualification. It has created both practical concerns and legal questions by city council members and city attorneys. The city ordinance reiterated here asks whether or not the public servant or volunteer public servant can reasonably foresee that her or his"decision will have an individualized material effect on her or his financial,professional, or personal interests, distinguishable from its effect on the public generally." Although the ethical considerations regarding financial and professional conflicts appear rather straightforward,the meaning and legal ramifications a"personal interest" or personal benefit pose unique and repetitive questions. The lack of definition of"personal interest'•'and even"potential"conflict and the alleged inconsistency in written legal opinions cause concern specifically to Council Members Simonsen, Love, and Christensen and former board member Perrin Love. As a general rule,public policy requires that local government officials cannot be permitted to place themselves in a position in which personal interest may conflict with public duty. Antieau on Local Government Law, Ethics, Working Conditions of Officers and Employees, Section 76B.04[2], 76B-82. Citing from the Connecticut Supreme Court,the treatise reads: While personal advantage,pecuniary or otherwise, is one of the elements to be considered, it is not the only test,nor is the good faith of the public officer of controlling importance. Public office is a trust conferred by public authority for a public purpose. His status forbids the public officer from placing himself in a position where his private interest conflicts with his public duty. The good faith of the official is of no moment because it is the policy of the law to keep him so far from temptation as to insure the exercise of unselfish public interest. He must not be permitted to place himself in a position in which personal interest may conflict with his public duty. The evil lies in the creation of a situation tending to weaken public confidence and to undermine the sense of 8 security of individual rights which the citizen and property owner must feel assured will always exist in the exercise of public authority.8 (Emphasis added). The test for disqualification is fact-sensitive and depends on whether, under the circumstances, a particular interest had the "likely capacity to tempt the to official to depart from his sworn public duty." Van Itallie v. Franklin Lakes,28 N.J. 258, 268, 146 A.2d 111 (1958). The breadth of disparity among cases is troubling. In Stone v. Salt Lake City, 356 P.2d 631 (1960), the Utah Supreme Court held that church membership among the majority of the board of city commissioners, which passed a resolution for the sale of city property to the LDS Church, was not a conflict of interest. Even though they donated to the church,presumably through tithing, the city officials had no financial benefit to gain. Of note, however,the court analyzed Utah Code Aim. 10-6-38 (1953)which tied "personal and pecuniary interests"together). See Vokal v. Nebraska Accountability and Disclosure Comm'n, 276 Neb. 988, 759 N.W.2d 75 (2009)(Incumbent candidate for city council did not violate state act which barred government officials from using property under his or her control for campaigning. Official was filmed in his city office,touching his keyboard,to create a video advertisement for reelection campaign). However, courts have repeatedly said that not all interests of local government officers or employees will bring them within an impermissible conflict of interest situation, and have suggested that interests that are only"remote, speculative, nebulous, uncertain, contingent, or insubstantial" should not prevent government officials and personnel from dealing with their local governments. Antieau, at 76B-84.9 Nevertheless,the general rule remains that there should be strict enforcement of conflict of interest statutes so as to provide a strong disincentive for officers who might be tempted to take personal advantage of their public offices. Am. Jur. 2d, Municipal Corporations, Section 12.136 (Supp.) 8 Katz v.Brandon, 156 Conn. 521,245 A.2d 579,587(1968)(In a condemnation challenge,no conflict of interest existed where a city councilman was also a redevelopment agency member and business manager of union at manufacturing plant. The manufacturer subsequently offered to purchase land in the redevelopment project. Court held that the interests of the officer and manufacturer were neither greater nor in any way different from interest of any other citizen of city). This case is later distinguished extensively. See also Mobile Community Council for Progress,Inc.v.Brock, 119 P.3d 463 (Ariz.App.Div.1 2005)(Member on board of supervisors properly did not vote on major plan amendment to county area plan due to a conflict of interest,deemed"private"but not explained in case. The court stated,"Sound public policy supports and requires disqualification of public officials when their private interests create a possibility of conflict with their potential duties."). Copple v.Lincoln,202 Neb. 152,274 N.W.2d 520,528(1979)(public officer's interest was remote and speculative due to land-use devices such as utility,subdivision and public highway controls and the future staging of development and zoning. Thus,he could vote on comprehensive development plan which did not carry the force of law). 9 Various fact patterns reveal various holdings. In Thompson v. City of Atlantic City, 190 N.J. 359, 921 A.2d 427(2007), the court held that the mayor was unjustly enriched at the expense of city taxpayers by a settlement agreement in a federal lawsuit he brought against the city. The agreement violated state law due to the inherent and actual conflicts of the executive branch officials who negotiated and approved the settlement. With regard to familial affiliation as a personal interest,the court held in Mercer v. MW Red Bank, LLC,401 N.J. Super. 482, 951 A.2d 1060 (App.`Div. 2008)that when a zoning board member's father who was "of counsel" status with a law firm, it still could not reasonably be expected to impair member's objectivity or independent judgment. The law firm had terminated representation two years previously). A fairly recent case from New Jersey discussed the"usual presence"of a conflict of interest when a family member's vote results in another family member obtaining a position in a governmental agency. In Shapiro v. Mertz, 845 A.2d 186, 192 (N.J.Super.App. 2004),the appellate court held that the council member's deciding vote for her husband's appointment to the municipal planning board violated the local ordinance because "marital status is surely not a ''"'k remote or trivial interest." Here,the"public could readily perceive that [the council member] had a personal interest in the reappointment of her husband to a prestigious and potentially very influential position." It added that from the vantage point of the public the personal involvement between council member and her husband"might reasonably be expected to impair the member's objectivity or independence of judgment." Id. To the author's knowledge, no case exists in Utah on the extent to which a spousal relationship can constitute a conflict of interest on municipal boards. In some states,this factor can be disqualifying,depending(once again) on the facts. In Sokolinski v. Municipal Council of Township of Woodbridge,469 A.2d 96 (N.J. 1983), all five members on board of adjustment were disqualified on ground of personal conflict of interest from hearing variance applications for property owned by the board of education. Two members were employed by the board, a tenured teacher and a tenured janitor. Three members were spouses of board employees: a tenured teacher, an untenured bus driver, and an untenured cafeteria cook. The court held that"the conflict is no more remote as to plaintiffs whose spouses are employed by the Board of Education. While every case must turn on its facts, ordinarily one would expect each spouse to benefit from the income and share the loyalties 10 derived from the other's employment." Id. at 99. In contrast, in Kinzer v. State Comm'n on Ethics, 654 So.2d 1007 (Fla. App.3 Dist.1995),the court held there was no impropriety in a town commission member's voting on his wife's appointment to an unpaid advisory board. Of relevance was the small size of the town which had less than 35,000 residents. Thus, the impact of spousal participation on boards and commission remains an open question and one for policy discussion. This should be a matter of policy discussion and consensus while,enacting proposed changes to ordinance. For example, when personal interest is better defined,perhaps appointments of spouses to boards or committees should be curtailed. Of the various"personal interests"that require disqualification, there are four types of situations that pertain: Direct pecuniary interests: when an official votes on a matter benefitting the official's own property or affording a direct financial gain; Indirect pecuniary interests: when an official votes on a matter that financially benefits one closely tied to the official, such as an employer or family member; Direct personal interest: when an official votes on a matter that benefits a blood relative or close friend in a non-financial way, but a matter of great importance; and Indirect personal interest: when an official votes on a matter in which an individual's judgment may be affected because of membership in some organization and a desire to help that organization further its policies.io In conclusion, determination of the existence of a conflict of interest must be done on a case-by-case, fact-sensitive basis, as the cases have shown. No clear line can be drawn despite efforts to tighten the ordinance provisions. The question will always be whether or not the circumstances could reasonably be interpreted to show that they had the likely capacity to tempt the official to depart from his sworn public duty. The legal interpretation does not rest upon 10 Michael A.Pane,Conflict of Interest: Sometimes a Confusing Maze.Part II,New Jersey Municipalities,March 1980,at 8,9. 11 proof of fraud, dishonesty, loss to the municipality, or in fact influence by the personal interest. .— The key is whether an interest creating a potential conflict appears to exist or actually exists and if the public loses confidence in municipal leadership as a consequence.

Enclosed please find documents related to the Ethics Working Group Project. A couple of the documents are identified as "Privileged and Confidential", and a decision to waive this Attorney-Client privilege will need to be made prior to the Council's discussion. Council Staff recommends reviewing the documents in the order listed below. Here is the list of documents for the Ethics discussion: • Memorandum—Staff Update to Full Council—Dated—October 5, 2010—Prepared by Council Staff • Privileged and Confidential - Memorandum -Conflict of Interest—Dated March 1, 2010 — Prepared by Outside Legal Counsel (Lisa Watts Baskin) • Privileged and Confidential -Opinion Summary Table—Prepared by City Attorney (Opinions separately reviewed by Outside Legal Counsel) • Salt Lake City Ethics and Conflict of Interest Ordinance—Issue Identification and Analysis—Prepared by Council Staff— Policy Questions for the Council's consideration are included in the far right hand column.

Issues regarding potential conflict of interests and acceptance of gifts had been raised by Council Members and the City Attorney. In addition,a recent Supreme Court ruling regarding the ability of corporations to donate to campaigns had been issued and the State of Utah legislature passed legislation on ethics during their 2010 session. The full Council felt a need to better understand these and other issues surrounding ethics,in particular the City's Conflict of Interest Ordinance,Chapter 2.44 of the Salt Lake City code. Council Members Simonson(Chair),Love,and Christensen serve as the Ethics Working Group. The following individuals support the working group: Lisa Watts Baskin(Outside Legal Counsel),Cindy Gust-Jenson(Council Executive Director),Ed Rutan(City Attorney),Boyd Ferguson(Appointed Senior City Attorney),and Karen Halladay and Cindy Lou Trishman(Council Staff). The working group met four times during the spring of 2010. The working group reviewed and discussed the following. 1)outside legal counsel findings of the current Conflict of Interest ordinance,including substantive(defining personal and professional conflict of interest)and non-substantive items(changing definitions and/or terms i.e. public officials to iblic servants),2)past opinions issued by the City Attorney's office,3)US Supreme Court Ruling-Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission,and 4)2010 Utah Legislation on Ethics Reform. The working group identified the following issues(see attached supporting documentation)that would need further direction from the full Council: • Should housekeeping or non-substantive changes and modifications be made to the current ordinance? For example,Executive Employee would be deleted and Municipal Employee would be added to the definitions,thus eliminating the distinction between"executive"employees from other employees. Outside Legal Counsel suggested using consistent and defined terminology throughout the ordinance. An example would be to define and use governmental actions throughout the ordinance instead of official actions. • Should the Conflict of Interest ordinance be limited to financial interest conflicts or should the Conflict of Interest ordinance also encompass personal and professional interests? • Should there be remedies or options besides recusal when a potential conflict of interest exists? For financial conflict of interest?For personal conflict?For professional conflict? • Should the definition of relative be updated to be consistent with City code? • Should options to clarify if/when it is appropriate to accept gifts or hospitality at outside meetings suggested by Outside Legal Counsel be considered and changed in the current ordinance? In addition to the above items,a question was raised about campaign contribution limits. In addition to US Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission,outside Legal Counsel researched local,state,and national campaign finance limits. It was determined that the Salt Lake City Conflict of Interest Ordinance(Chapter 2.44)and Salt Lake City Campaign Finance Disclosure Ordinance(Chapter 2.46)would not be impacted by the Supreme Court ruling or other research findings. Outside Legal Counsel did not suggest any changes. However,the following question remains for the ll Council's consideration: • Is there interest by the full Council in expanding or defining a new scope for this project to further study and analyze campaign donation limits?

As background for the"presentation of the*4wi44,4,opimi ns,we.provide The followingus discussion of conflicf of interest la•w m general:and SLCC Section 2 44030 in particular. B"ackground. The Legislature has set minimum ethical standards for municipal officials and employees in the Municipal Officer's and Employee's Ethics Act. Municipalities are free to adopt their own ethics ordinances setting more stringent standards. The City Council adopted Chapter 2.44 "Conflict of Interest"in 1998. The purpose of the Salt Lake City conflict of interest chapter is stated in Section 2.44.010: The purpose of this chapter is to prevent improper influence, avoid the appearance of impropriety, and prohibit public officials from 451 SOUTH STATE STREET,ROOM 505, P,O.Box 145478,SALT LAKE CITY,UT 84114-5478 TELEPHONE: 801-535-7788 FAX: 801-535-7840 wRlGYC1E0 PAPER receiving unjust financial gain from public service.It also seeks to increase public confidence by assuring that official actions are taken objectively and properly. It is the objective of this chapter to promote these goals by establishing ethical standards of conduct for all officers and employees of the city, including volunteers. This purpose clause sets a high bar to establish public trust. Of particular significance are the references to"avoid[ing] the appearance of impropriety"and to "increase[ing]public confidence". The purpose clause of the state conflict of interest statutes applicable to municipal governments are less explicit in their description.' The focus in the Salt Lake City purpose statement on public trust in the decision-making process undoubtedly stems from the context in which it was adopted in 1998—there was widespread public concern about certain actions taken by Mayor Corradini. If public confidence in the integrity of the City's decision-making was in jeopardy at that time,there is no indication that that is the case today. The adoption of Chapter 2.44 and the personal standards of succeeding public servants apparently have restored the public's trust to the extent it may have been eroded. If the City Council were starting from scratch to develop a conflict of interest ordinance, three potentially competing policy concerns would be considered. First,how high and how wide should the bar be set to assure public trust in the integrity of the City's decision-making process? For example, should conflicts be limited to financial interests or include other interests such as "personal"or"professional"interests as well? Similarly,should the ordinance focus on actual defined conflicts or address the"appearance of impropriety"as well? Second, if there is a conflict,what is the remedy for the public? Is public disclosure sufficient or is recusal to be required as well? If recusal is to be required,a consequence is the disenfranchisement on that issue for the constituents of the recused council member. If the issue has uniform citywide impact,the interests of the disenfranchised constituents may in effect be t The Municipal Officers'and Employees'Ethics Act states its purpose in UCA Section 10-3-1302: The purposes of this part are to establish standards of conduct for municipal officers and employees and to require these persons to disclose actual or potential conflicts of interest between their public duties and their personal interests. Similarly,the purpose clause of the Utah Public Officers'and Employees'Ethics Act(UCA§67-16-2)states that: The purpose of this chapter is to set forth standards of conduct for officers and employees of the state of Utah and its political subdivisions in areas where there are actual or potential conflicts of interest between their public duties and their private interests.In this manner the Legislature intends to promote the public interest and strengthen the faith and confidence of the people of Utah in the integrity of their government.It does not intend to deny any public officer or employee the opportunities available to all other citizens of the state to acquire 1 private economic or other interests so long as this does not interfere with his MI and faithful discharge of his public duties. This purpose statement expressly reflects concern about not deterring people from public service,an element not i expressly stated in the Salt Lake City purpose statement. adequately represented by the other council members. However,if the issue has a particularly significant impact on the district of the recused council member, his or her constituents may be significantly disadvantaged. Third, if the bar is set too high and/or too wide,there is the possibility that qualified and dedicated citizens may be deterred from seeking elective office or serving as volunteer public servants. For example,a prominent state senator recently suggested that if the ethics reforms proposed by a citizens' group were adopted,he would resign because of the increased disclosure that would be required concerning his law firm and its clients. These concerns can be balanced in a variety of ways. For example,the Utah State Legislature requires disclosure of conflicts of interest,but not recusal. That approach avoids the disenfranchisement concern,but possibly does so at the expense of public trust in the integrity of the decision-making process. Similarly, limiting the definition of conflicts to financial interests may encourage more people to enter public service,but again possibly at cost to public trust. With respect to the first question, SLCC Section 2.44.040 applies to"personal"and "professional"interests as well as"financial interests. A"financial interest"is defined in Section 2.44.020 as either(1)"a substantial interest"or(2)"holding a position in a business entity such as an officer,director,trustee,partner, employee, or the like,or holding any position of management in a business entity." A"substantial interest"in turn is defined in Section 2.44.020 as"the ownership,either legally or equitably,by a [City Council member] or his or her spouse or minor children, of at least ten percent(10%)of the outstanding shares of a corporation or a ten percent(10%)interest in any other business entity." It should be noted that these two prongs are independent. For example,if a council member were a partner in a business partnership and held a 5%equity position in that partnership,that would not be a"substantial interest"under the first prong, but it would still be a"financial interest"under the second prong. Neither a"personal interest"nor a"professional interest"is defined in the City Code which presents a difficult challenge in applying the ordinance as currently drafted. The context does make clear that"interest"is used in the sense of"the state of being affected by something in respect to advantage or detriment"as opposed to"a feeling of having one's attention, concern or curiosity particularly engaged by something." See Random House Webster's College Dictionary. In the absence of an express definition,both a"personal"interest and a "professional"interest potentially could be construed in terms of a relationship, for example a spouse,and/or a non-economic interest such as recreational pursuits. With respect to the second question, Section 2.44.030 adopts the disclose and recuse model: "The public servant or volunteer public servant shall disqualify himself or herself from participating in any deliberation as well as from voting on such matter." AIN The costs of disenfranchisement are implicitly accepted. The disclose and recuse requirement applies to: "any governmental action on any matter involving [the Council Member's] financial,professional,or personal interests when it is reasonably forseeable that the decision will have an individualized material effect on such interest,distinguishable from its effect on the public generally." Id. It is critical to remember that a conflict exists under the ordinance only if the decision "will have an individualized material effect on [the Council member's interest] distinguishable from its effect on the public generally." Section 2.44.030. The textbook example is a proposed increase in the real property tax rate. A council member owning real property would certainly be directly impacted by his or her vote,but the impact would be the same on the very large number of other real property owners in the City. In that context,there is no potential that the Council member's individual situation would"improperly"influence his or her vote because that situation mirrors the situation of the public generally. Finally,there is also the limitation that even if there is an individualized impact not shared by the public generally, that impact must still be"material"to the Council Member. City Council members and other public servants may request an advisory opinion on the intot applicability of the conflict of interest chapter pursuant to SLCC Section 2.44.210A. The City Attorney may also issue advisory opinions on his or her own initiative when he or she deems it to be in the public interest to do so. Section 2.44.210B. An advisory opinion from the City Attorney serves as a"safe harbor"against action under City law if the recipient follows the opinion in good faith. Section 2.44.220. Violation of the conflict of interest chapter is a misdemeanor. Section 2.44.270. The City Council could also void an action it bad taken that involved a violation of the conflict of interest chapter. Section 2.44.260. Section 2.44.180 provides for the possibility of a waiver of the conflict of interest provisions except those with respect to gifts and for a determination of non-applicability in the case of gifts. Section 2.44.180A provides that the mayor may grant a waiver to a city council member (and the city council may grant a waiver to the mayor)upon a finding that: (1)the city council member(mayor)"will be able to perform his or her official functions without actual bias or favoritism"and (2)"the granting of the waiver will not be detrimental to the interests of the city."2 2 The City Attorney is authorized to grant waivers to other public servants or volunteer public servants. Requests JAIN are infrequent—less frequent than one a year. Requests for a waiver by a City Council member have been quite rare. The current City Attorney has heard of one waiver request having been granted prior to his appointment and recalls the possibility of one waiver request being discussed—but not made—since then. A determination of non-applicability of the gift restrictions may be given by the mayor to a council member(or by the council to the mayor upon a finding that: (1)the gift was not given with the intent to influence official action; (2)there exists no substantial likelihood that the gift will influence official action and(3)giving the determination of non-applicability will not be detrimental to the interests of the City. The City Attorney does not recall a council member asking for a determination of non- applicability. (Mayor Anderson did request a determination of non-applicability just prior to the end of his term, but it was denied by the Council.)3 The Conflict of Interest Chapter has been amended only once since it was adopted in 1998. The acts specifically prohibited in Section 2.44.040 were expanded. New Section 2.44.040C prohibits elected officers,their spouses and children and business entities in which the elected officer has a substantial interest from applying for or receiving a loan or grant of money from the City.4 New Section 2.44.230 requires elected officials to file a report if someone other than the City pays for the official's travel,lodging or entertainment(but not food or meal) expenses while on official City business. Specific Opinions Specific opinions are presented in the following chart,which identifies the nature of the interest and the individual council member involved. • 7 The City Attorney recently made a determination that the gift restrictions do not apply to the various department's rewards and recognition programs,but employee requests are very rare. 4 New Section 2.44.040B prohibits a public servant from having a financial interest in an entity doing business with the City Department employing the public servant. (The City department for the Mayor is deemed to be all City departments,while the City Department for Council members is deemed to be the City Council Office.) Similarly, volunteer public servants are prohibited from having a financial interest in an entity that does business with the City Department that the volunteer public servant's board or commission is involved with. For example,a construction company owned by a member of the Airport Board could not do construction work for the Airport even though the Airport Board is not involved in the award of construction contracts.

Involving the use for private gain or advantage of his or her city working time or city facilities, equipment, or supplies, except as permitted under section 2.44.180 of this chapter; 2.

(Ord. 4-07, 2007: Ord. 88-98 § 2, 1998) 19 l MEMORANDUM To: Ethics Working Group From: Lisa Watts Baskin, Outside Counsel Date: May 4, 2010 Re: Restrictions for City Officers Accepting Hospitality at Outside Meetings Background: Pursuant to Jill Remington Love's request, I am researching the scope of restrictions on accepting gifts and hospitality at outside meetings. This review includes food and beverages, entertainment, and gifts of nominal value. The National Counsel of State Legislatures conducted a 50-state legislative survey which may provide guidance by analogy. The International Municipal Lawyers Association may have data but the author is not able to access yet. Salt Lake City Code Section 2.44.080 prohibits gifts. "No public servant or volunteer public servant shall knowingly receive, accept,take, seek,or solicit directly or indirectly, for himself or herself or another, a gift that the public servant or volunteer public servant knows, or with the exercise of reasonable care should know: 1)would influence the recipient to depart from the faithful and impartial discharge of his or her public duties; OR 2) is primarily for the purpose of rewarding the public servant or volunteer public servant for official action taken or not taken." This language provides a subjective standard,hinging on the recipient's reasonable knowledge behind the purpose of the gift or its projected influence. Section 2.44.090 provides exceptions to gift prohibitions which include: campaign contributions,' gifts from relatives, grants of hospitality, de minimis nonpecuniary gifts(less than $50), de minimis remembrances (less than$100),travel, lodging and food expenses incurred in connection with official duties, death transfers, legal defense funds, and leadership expense funds. Waivers (2.44.180 A) or determinations of nonapplicability (2.44.180 B) are provided. Subsection 2.44.090 F. Travel And Food Expenses Incurred in Connection With Official Duties as gift exemptions. It reads: "Reasonable expenses for food,travel, lodging and scheduled entertainment of a public servant or volunteer public servant incurred in connection with public events, appearances, or ceremonies related to official city business,not given in violation of section 2.44.080 of this chapter, if furnished by the sponsor of such public event, appearance, or ceremony." Issue: What is the necessity or scope of restrictions on accepting hospitality at outside meetings or events. For analysis purposes, and by analogy only, state legislators queried the ethical considerations behind accepting meals and lodging at NCSL Conferences.2 A summary chart was developed which is attached. 1 A related memorandum is provided regarding campaign finance limitations. 2 This is similar to Councilmember Love's question about the propriety of accepting meals at National League of Cities and Towns events or ULCT events. In synopsis, twelve(12) states have no gift or hospitality restrictions whatsoever.3 The remaining states have monetary(dollar)thresholds,ranging from gifts valued at no more than $10(South Carolina,Arizona)to $250 (Wyoming). Utah has a limit of gifts with a value of$50 or less. Utah Code Ann. Subsection 67-16-5(2). States also vary in the way dollar limits are measured, e.g., at a single event,monthly or annual basis. For example,legislators in Louisiana may accept gifts of less than$100 per event or$500 per year. Legislators in Oklahoma have a gift limit of$300 per year. In Nebraska,gifts cannot exceed$50 per month. The Salt Lake City ordinance makes reference to "an occasional nonpecuniary gift"or"any occasional noncash remembrance." There is no time limit, except that it must not be a regular occurrence. With regard to receipt of meals,lodging, and travel expenses, states also vary. For example, in Alabama,the provider must be present for food and beverages. In Alaska, the legislator may accept travel and hospitality primarily for the purpose of obtaining information on legislative matters. In Arizona, exceptions include expenses relating to functions to which all members are invited and items are given to the general public at the event. In California, legislators are not subject to the$300 gift ban when attending an event related to a governmental purpose and provided by government, an educational institution, or a non-profit. In Connecticut, food and beverages are permitted and not a gift when less than$150 per recipient per year and consumed when provider is in attendance. Illinois and Florida explicitly reference NCSL events. Similarly, in Salt Lake City,ULCT events could be specifically exempted. Meals may be accepted if for immediate consumption(Michigan,Nebraska). Exemplary Provisions: Some state provisions offer drafting models which contemplate scenarios such as ULCT conferences/meetings: Iowa: gifts exemptions include items received from an organization to which the '` donee belongs as a dues paying member, if the items are given to all members of the organisation without regard to individual status and food and beverage are in return for participation in a panel or meeting. Kansas: may accept subsistence,hospitality, and entertainment incurred while attending and participating in meetings sponsored by national,nonprofit,or nonpartisan organizations established at strengthening state legislatures. New York: gift exemptions include food and beverage at charitable or political events and officially related, widely attended events if offered by the sponsor and meals are provided at an informational event. Oregon: may accept food or beverages when participating in an event that bears a relationship to the public official's office and when appearing in an official capacity. Washington: food and beverage may be consumed at a hosted reception where attendance is related to official duties and may attend events sponsored by civic and charitable organizations. Conclusion: The Oregon and Washington examples most closely resemble Salt Lake City's provisions in Section 2.44.090 F which exempts gift prohibitions.
