01/04/1990 - Minutes Iv , C1D- Minutes of the Meeting of the Committee of the Whole January 4, 1990 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. City Council Conference Room 325 City and County Building 451 South State Street Salt Lake City, UT 84111 In Attendance: Ron Whitehead, District One; Nancy Pace, District Three; Tom Godfrey, District Five ; Roselyn Kirk, District Six; Don Hale, District Seven, Palmer DePaulis, Mayor; Cindy Gust-Jenson, Executive Director; Emilie Charles, Mayor's Assistant; other City and Council Staff members. Councilmembers Alan Hardman and Wayne Horrocks arrived later in the evening. Council Vice-Chair Nancy Pace conducted the meeting since Council Chair Alan Hardman would be arriving late due to another meeting commitment. BOARD APPOINTMENT INTERVIEW Eldon Marshall was interviewed for consideration of his appointment to the Mosquito Abatement District Board. He indicated he has been active in the community and expressed a personal interest in serving on this board. POLICE DEPARTMENT POLICY BRIEFING Chief Chabries and other members of the Police Department were present to provide a briefing to the Council on policy issues. He indicated the focus of the presentation would focus on policy and resulting implications rather than on budget issues, which had not yet been presented in full to the Mayor. He stated the need for additional staffing, citing the volume of calls per officer had increased from 1980 to 1990, officer response times had tripled and dispatch times from time of call to officer arrival at the scene had doubled, backlogs of up to four hours were typical. He stated the department was compromised in their ability to properly handle calls, and the element of proactivity was absent. He estimated the need for 250 officers to equal the call per officer ratio of ten years ago. He indicated the Department's second area of need as being the ability to respond and handle criminal activity-specifically gang and drug activity. He stated that the education programs in schools had been effective and by September, these programs would be operating in all 27 grade schools, but that enforcement efforts were needed on the street. He reported the need for interfacing with the community with neighborhood councils and residents in solving, not just reporting, problems. Councilmember Godfrey commented that the Police Department staffing level had never been up to full force, and inquired if the Chief had anticipated this in his budget. Chief Chabries responded by explaining that it took nine months to train a new officer, and that during that time other officers would leave the department, leaving them without full staffing. Councilmember Godfrey inquired as to how the Metro Narcotics Squad operated. Deputy Chief Bob Nievaard explained this was a cooperative effort with other agencies, funded by all of the participating agencies and monies from a federal grant and that staffing was contributed by the participating agencies. Councilmember Godfrey asked if the funding should be increased instead of the City carrying as great a responsibility. It was explained that the funds were for operations costs and not staffing. Councilmember Godfrey inquired about the redistribution of funds from properties seized in drug arrests. It was explained that the state distributes the monies on a 25% match basis and requires a multi-agency task force to qualify. Councilmember Godfrey inquired about the residual monies being used for staffing. Chief Chabries indicated that the federal monies had to be used for activities and programs and could not be used for personnel. Councilmember Kirk expressed her interest in seeing the City develop ways to better work with the families to better target gang problems, and to evaluate if the City was really doing the best it could in this respect. The Chief replied that the gangs couldn't be eliminated since they were social groups by nature, and that involvement from all community groups would be vital in controlling the gangs. Councilmember Kirk asked if there was a City that was a good model for the way they dealt with the gangs. Major Peck indicated that Salt Lake City was right in line with their approach. Chief Chabries indicated that other cities have contacted Salt Lake City for advice. He further indicated that the department has been meeting with key members of these gangs and that these meetings have been helpful. There will be another such meeting in January. The Council recessed and then reconvened at 6:30 p.m. to be briefed by members of the Public Utilities Department on policy issues. Present for the briefing were Leroy Hooten, Director; Wendell Evensen, Superintendent of Water Supply; Tim Doxey, Superintendent of Water Reclamation; James Lewis, Finance and Accounting Officer and George Jorgensen, Chief Engineer. Leroy Hooten began by stating the purpose of the briefing was to present and discuss three issues: the five year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) , earthquake preparedness and the water sales moratorium. Regarding the five-year CIP, Mr. Hooten stated the need for a long-range plan, rather than the year-to-year plan. He indicated that environmental standards had become a greater issue and that greater compliance with federal regulations was required. Last year, the department submitted a new five-year plan to spend $50 million for water system projects and $30 million for sewer projects, and that most of this would be needed to replace aging facilities. He indicated that the required improvements identified in the 201 plan study completed in the 1980's were funded through the City's $30 million bonding program in 1981 , and that $63 million in Capital Improvements over the last ten years had been funded mostly through bonds. The department is recommending that money be loaned from the Sewer Utility Fund to finance the seismic improvements at the Parley's Water Treatment Plant, to purchase watershed land and to purchase water rights. Prior estimates for upgrading Parley's Treatment were lower than originally anticipated because earthquake measures had not been taken into account. The new estimate for the upgrade is $12.3 million. Sandy City will pay for $7.6 million. The remainder will come from current reserves and an interfund loan between water and sewer. The department is not requesting a rate increase this year, but the Council should be aware that some water main replacements may be delayed until next year because of this. Mr. Hooten discussed the issue of earthquake preparedness and mitigation. He indicated that improvements to water and sewage treatment facilities would be needed to meet current seismic standards, enabling the facilities to withstand a major earthquake and continue to provide emergency services in its aftermath. The department estimates $10 million to complete the improvements to the water treatment plants to meet seismic standards and a greater amount to bring the sewer facilities up to standard. Additional water revenues and changes in the City's adoption of the 201 plan would be necessary to finance these projects. A study to determine cost and necessary action is currently underway. Mr. Hooten discussed the Water Sales Moratorium in the Canyon Watersheds, effected in 1981 , on any new surplus water sales agreements within the canyon watersheds. The Public Utilities Advisory Committee will begin their study of the issue of this moratorium and make a recommendation to maintain, replace or modify it. If continued, growth and development in the canyons will be limited to the existing contracts. If it is relaxed, more growth will occur. Mr. Hooten indicated this is a highly charged topic and that water usage will become an issue. He indicated the cloud seeding program had been successful, producing an additional 9% in rainfall last year. The cloud seeding will be repeated this year. ORDINANCE CHANGE - WATER AND SEWER MAIN CONNECTIONS The Public Utilities Department briefed the Council on a proposed ordinance change relating to water and sewer main connections. This ordinance proposes that streets be rough graded and connection fees be paid before water and sewer pipelines are installed to allow for better control and inspection. Freezing of lines has been a problem with lines that have not be set deep enough. A fee of ten dollars would be imposed on each lot. This is being proposed due to a problem with some builders who will use water at the sites and not pay for it. COUNCILMEMBER TRAVEL REQUEST The Council reviewed a request from Councilmember Nancy Pace to attend the conference "Creating a Great City Center" sponsored by the Urban Land Institute. It was suggested that the Redevelopment Agency be approached about sharing the cost if her attendance were approved. Ms. Gust-Jenson clarified that money was available in the budget for this trip, since one additional "unforeseen" trip per member was planned for each year. In a straw poll, the members indicated unanimous support for Councilmember Pace to attend this conference. STAFF MEMBER TRAVEL REQUEST The Council reviewed a request from Staff Member Cam Caldwell to travel to Scottsdale, Arizona to conduct a study in conjunction with the one-stop counter audit. The Executive Director indicated this trip would require the Council's approval, since this member had already attended a conference earlier this year. She indicated that a member of the Planning and Zoning staff would attend as well. Councilmembers Horrocks and Whitehead expressed concern about a duplication of effort and time, since someone from the Planning Department had previously travelled to Scottsdale to study their program. The Council requested additional information about the trip and what information would be obtained that was not obtained in the previous visit prior to any further consideration of this matter. PARTICIPATION ON ULCT COMMITTEES Councilmember Tom Godfrey extended an invitation to all Councilmembers to express their interest to him in serving on a committee for the Utah League of Cities and Towns. He indicated that he is serving on the Community and Economic Development Committee and that there were four other committees on which interested Councilmembers might serve. He indicated the other committees were Human Development, Transportation, and Energy, Environment and Natural Resources. He asked that any member with an interest in serving on one of these committees should let him know before the end of the night's meeting. SPECIAL MEETINGS Ms. Gust-Jenson indicated the Mayor-Council retreat would be February 10th, and the Council-Staff retreat would be held February 24th. She indicated the Bonding Seminar on January 8th would be at the Marriott at 5:30, and dinner would be provided by the Finance Department. PARKING Ms. Gust-Jenson indicated that Support Services had redesignated the area in which Council should park their vehicles. The new area would be the south side of the circle. New parking stickers would be obtained and distributed. Ms. Gust-Jenson took a count of those requiring more than one sticker. The meeting was adjourned. 4-4.Leet44-et.,p, 2_- D Alan G.

I have discussed this with the Chair, and he has asked me to provide the information to the entire Council for consideration. It has been added to the Thursday, January 4 agenda since the topic of travel was already on that agenda. The Council authorized several audits to be conducted by Council staff this year. The One Stop Counter audit is in progress right now. It has come to our attention that Scottsdale, Arizona has an excellent program in this area. We do have funds in our staff travel area to accommodate a trip to review the Scottsdale program, and it is very common for auditors to view other programs to get new ideas and identify ways to iron out existing problems. Since our office travel policy doesn't address travel for audit purposes, the Council needs to decide if they are comfortable with such a trip. The approximate cost is $500. One trip per year is budgeted for each Council staff member. The staff member who would be sent on this trip did attend a conference earlier this year, and so this trip would need Council approval. I recommend the Council authorize the trip. mom'! a CET EgtO •Mi OFFICE OF THE CITY COUNCIL CITY AND COUNTY BUILDING 451 SOUTH STATE STREET, SUITE 304 SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH 84111 535-7600 January 2, 1990 MEMORANDUM TO: COUNCILMEhBERS FROM: CINDY GUST-JENSON SUBJECT: TRAVEL REQUEST Councilmenber Nancy Pace has become aware of a January conference sponsored by the Urban Land Institute on "Creating a Great City Center. " She is interested in attending, if the Council is supportive of the idea. Nancy has indicated this conference offers information on a variety of topics she is interested in pursuing as a Councilmember. Attached for your information are copies of the two Council Office policies on travel. The first policy outlines the basic meetings generally attended, and also indicates Members may decide to attend other conferences and conventions related to City business. The second policy indicates that trips not listed in the policy should be approved by majority vote of the Council. We could accommodate this trip in the Council Office budget. It would count as one of the two budgeted "unforeseen trips. " For your information, the balance of travel for this year is expected to be to the National League of Cities conference in March. We have budgeted for five members to attend that conference. If all members were interested in attending, we could use the second increment of "unforeseen trip" money, and use the balance we have left in unused staff travel. If there are other members who wish to attend this conference, and all members wish to attend the March League of Cities conference, the Council will need to have the staff look more closely at the budget to see if alternative sources could be identified. If any members wish to attend this conference rather than the League conference, that would work fine within the budget. ACTION NEEDED: Take a straw poll on Councilmember Pace's reciuest to travel to the Urban Land Institute Conference "Creating a Great City Center. " COUNCIL OFFICE TRAVEL POLICY POLICY: It is a formal policy of the City Council that any or all City Council Members may travel to conferences and conventions related to City business. Council staff are encouraged to attend one conference or convention per year which is directly related to their job duties. PROCEDURE: The Council Office travel policy is an informal policy which has not been officially adopted by the Council. The Council currently budgets for travel by asking each Member at the beginning of the budget formulation process which of the following conferences/activities they intend to attend: National League of Cities and Towns Congressional City Convention (Washington, D.C. ) Congress of Cities Utah League of Cities and Towns Mid-Year Convention (St. George) Based on this information, staff prepare cost estimates for inclusion in the Council Office travel budget. In addition, Council Members may decide to attend other conferences and conventions related to City business. The name of the conference/convention is submitted to staff for preparation of a cost estimate and inclusion in the Council Office travel budget. The Council has also budgeted for two unforeseen trips per year. The Council has been committed to a well trained professional staff. As a result, the Council has budgeted for one conference per year per staff person. Members of the Council usually attend conventions/conferences sponsored by the National Association of Housing and Redevelopment Officials. They attend as the Board of Directors of the Redevelopment Agency. These costs are budgeted and paid for by the Redevelopment Agency.

Public Utilities Policy Analysis - 1990 Council Staff Review Lee King Summary of the Issues Public Utilities has three major issues facing the department in the next year. The first two issues, a Five Year Capital Improvements Program and Earthquake Preparedness and Mitigation will have a major budgetary impact. The third issue, that of a Water Sales Moratorium in the Canyon Watersheds will have an impact on development in the canyon watersheds and will be one of the major environmental policy issues facing the Council in 1990. Background and Questions The department has done an excellent job in preparing the necessary background information on each of these topics so I will not add a lot of detail. The first policy issue is formally adopting a Five Year Capital Improvement Plan for the Water Utility. The City currently adopts a one-year plan during the budget. Funding is on a year-to-year basis, with little analysis on future requirements. Public Utilities has developed a long range plan for the Water Utility much like they did several years age for the Sewer Utility. They have included very detailed schedules for the Five-Year Capital Improvements Plan for both the Water and Sewer Utilities. The schedules include specific projects, expected revenues and operating costs, and projected shortfalls. Their written narrative does not specifically address long term funding options. LeRoy Hooton and Jim Lewis are prepared and will present these options in their presentation Thursday night. The attached report does state that Water and Sewer Utilities can maintain current rates through the next budget year (through June 91 ), but depending on federal legislation and the degree of seismic upgrade, both utilities could possibly require additional funding in 1992 and beyond. You may wish to focus your questions in this area. If you will recall, Public Utilities raised water rates and decreased sewer rates in each of the last two budget years. The rate increase for the Water Utility in 1989-90 was specifically for capital improvements (water main replacements). If_ the Council elects to go with a formal 5 Year CIP for the Water Utility you will be faced with a major funding decision during the upcoming budget process. The options that LeRoy will present for you to begin to consider range from bonding to pay as-you-go. Both options will probably require rate increases in FY 91-92 (July 1991 ) with the size of the rate increase dependent on the option selected. The same funding situation applies to Earthquake Preparedness and Mitigation. Water Sales Moratorium is a volatile subject with several new issues emerging that were not considered when the moratorium was first implemented. The department will brief you on the history and current situation. The Public Utilities Advisory is starting a major study on this issue and will be preparing options and recommendations to present to you later this calendar. year. Police Policy Analysis - 1990 Council Staff Review Cam Caldwell Summary of the Issues Operations Bureau The Police Department Operations Bureau policy presentation cites statistical information documenting the need to increase the staff of the Operations Bureau by twenty-five officers and nine support personnel. Eighteen officers are slated for the Patrol Unit and seven for the Traffic Unit. All nine support personnel are slated for the Information Systems Unit. The department will be making an oral presentation which will supplement their written report. In that oral presentation they will equate levels of service for each of the organizational subdivisions of the Operations Bureau with the staffing levels they are requesting. For example, the following is the format which may be used in presenting information for Patrol, Traffic, and Informations Systems: Patrol Unit Current Optimal Staffing Level 137 155 Response Time 2 hr. * 30 min. Additional Cost $0 $774,000 *Routine non-emergency calls Traffic Unit Current Optimal Staffing Level 20 27 Traffic Tickets Issued 59K 73K Additional Cost ;0 $301,000 Information Systems Unit Current Optimal Staffing Level 44 53 Processing Time 240 hr. 24 hr. Additional Cost 0 $180,000 The policy implications of this presentation relate to the level of service which the department provides in serving the community, and the costs associated with providing that. service. Investigative Bureau For the Investigative Bureau the department cites information documenting the City's drug related problems, and the need for additional staffing in the Detective Unit. A total of thirty-eight sworn and three non-sworn positions -1- are identified for additional funding. Twenty-four sworn positions and one non-sworn support position have been requested for Special Investigations. Special Investigations is the narcotics program. Eight sworn positions and one non-sworn staff member are requested to expand the Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DARE) program which was instituted this past year. Six positions are requested to support the Detective Unit. The same format for documenting levels of service for the Operations Bureau is anticipated to be used by the department in their presentation of information for the Investigative Bureau. The anticipated total cost to address department requests are Special Investigations, 1,052,000; Youth, $364,000, and Detective Unit, $278,000. Administrative Bureau The Administrative Bureau written report includes a description of work with neighborhood groups to address specific police problems germane to those neighborhoods. Plans are also detailed to expand the crime prevention programs. Two sworn personnel and one non-sworn position are requested for the Community Affairs Unit to fund these program expansions. The approximate cost to accomplish these service increases is $106,000. Background and Questions on Each Issue Operations Bureau Total Calls for Service increased by 3. 3% to 124,688 in 1988. Calls increased to nearly 134,000 in 1989. According to the department calls are projected to increase to about. 145,000 in 1990. The total number of staff as of December. 31, 1988, was 420, with 303 sworn officers. Those figures compare with 434. 48 full-time positions in the 1989-90 fiscal year, with 320 approved sworn officer positions. The major policy question which the Council may wish to address is the opportunity which may exist to increase the use of non-sworn personnel to conduct routine police business. For example, according to department and national statistics, 60 to 70 percent of all calls for service are actually service calls which do not require a criminal enforcement response. The Council -'ay wish to ask the department to develop a series of recommendations to address how the City can handle many of these calls with non-sworn personnel. Council may also wish to consider conducting a Council Staff audit of the information Systems Unit to review its operattons and staffing-needs. Investigative Bureau The department notes that 80% of all crimes committed in Salt Lake City are drr.ig related. This statement is not based upon hard documentation, but is an inference drawn from national crime statistics. According to the department, the Metro Narcotics Task Force does not totally meet the needs of. the City's drug problem. Despite the successes of the Metro -2- Narcotics Task Force in the past., the Salt Lake City drug problem is more extensive than that which exists in many of the County suburbs. At least twelve more narcotics officers would be necessary for the City to bring its enforce: ent program up to an acceptable level, according to Police Department Act::ini strati on. The DARE Program is an excellent drug education program which was initiated in Salt Lake City this past year. The expanded level of funding is consistent with the plan proposed last year by the department. Council may wish to explore with the department how the additional Detective Unit staff will be able to increase the level of service in that service area. Administrative Bureau The Community Affairs Crime Prevention and Community Policing programs are two programs which the department gave expanded emphasis to last year. Council may wish to ask the department to provide more information about the results of these programs. Council Members may also wish to obtain feedback from their Community Councils about the effectiveness of these programs in the neighborhoods. -3- Salt Lake City Police Department POLICY ISSUES 1990 Olk ‘./k3,1Th INTRODUCTION It is a pleasure to present the Police Department' s Policy Issues for 1990-91 . These issues represent the future direction of this department if it is to meet the public safety needs of this city. This document contains a table of contents, three policy issues, a current status of new programs/concerns , along with an appendix. Your careful review and consideration of these issues is appreciated. Thank you. i POLICY 1 Operations Bureau The policy of the Salt Lake City Police Department is . to provide an acceptable public safety response to our citizens. This includes the ability to respond to calls for service in a timely fashion. In addition, officers should be deployed in the community for the purpose of deterring criminal activity. Current case loads for officers have increased 50 .8% during the previous ten years. However, uniform officers have realized a reduction of 19% since 1981 (194 vs 157) . It is not uncommon for the uniform division to be backlogged on calls for 2 hours during much of the year. Today, officers spend virtually all their time going from call to call and completing reports . Opportunities for pro-active patrol are virtually nonexistent. The lack of manpower also contributed to a 29% reduction in traffic enforcement city-wide. This includes a reduction of 28% in DUI arrests from 1987 - 1988 . The increase in case load has resulted in a substantial delay for the Records Division. Today, it takes 10 days before a report reaches the investigation division for follow-up investigation. It is absolutely crucial that follow-up investigative work be more timely. The uniform division represents the department' s front lines of defense in the effort to reduce criminal activity in the city. Their visibility and timely response will play a major role in providing the public safety this community needs . -1- POLICY 2 Investigative Bureau It is the policy of this department to actively investigate criminal activity in this city. This not only serves to bring criminals to justice, it also serves to deter criminal activity in the city. It is now estimated that over 80% of all crimes committed in Salt lake City are drug related. In addition, we are noting a significant number of homes in the city that are distributing drugs. Current staffing levels do not allow us to investigate every complaint. In addition, the city is experiencing increased criminal gang-related activity which represents a significant threat to the public safety of many city neighborhoods. A police response will not solve the gang problem but it can certainly impact it. The DARE Program is now completing its first year in nine elementary schools in the Salt Lake City School district. 1990 will find DARE in every elementary school in the district. This program has been extremely well received both in the schools and in the community. The Investigative Bureau will work actively to address the problems of increased Part I Crimes in the city. The increase of Aggravated Assaults , Sexual Crimes , and Auto Theft must be met with an appropriate and timely police investigation. The efforts of the Investigative Bureau will serve to minimize the danger to this community resulting from drugs, gangs, and dangerous criminals . -2- POLICY 3 Administrative Bureau COMMUNITY POLICING EFFORT The Salt Lake City Police Department' s commitment to a "Community Policing Effort" was defined by a policy statement included in THE FUTURE which was published in January 19 , 1989 . The Community Affairs Division was established in November 1988 to emphasize and give direction to the Community Policing Effort. Briefly stated, the primary goal of the Community Affairs Division is the police department' s "interface with our citizens" , to work closer with our neighborhood/community councils than in the past, and to look to "solving" problems in the neighborhoods with the neighbors as our partners . The Community Affairs Division reports directly to the Assistant Chief of Police, and includes the Crime Prevention Unit, the Public Information Officer, Operations Analysis , Planing and Research, and the Police Chaplains Corps. This reorganization provides the Chief of Police with the coordinated resources which can be directed toward the Community Policing Effort. The establishment of a formalized Community or Problem Police program remains a long term goal- contingent on adequate staffing and budgetary requirements . However, considerable progress has been made toward our stated Community Policing effort. This new environment has made it possible for the Crime Prevention Unit to intensify its programs and activities as well as play a major role in our neighborhood problem solving efforts . A "task force" approach has been adopted to work with the neighborhoods in dealing with problems which require help from multiple resources., i.e. : Police, other city departments , and community resources. One of the benefits of this approach is to bring the people from the involved resources and the community members together. This personal involvement sensitizes the service givers to the needs of the community. It also provides an opportunity for the community members to understand the limitations and problems of the service givers. Working together they can develop tactics which are often more effective and acceptable to both. -3- • Community Policing Effort - con't The task force concept was first employed to respond to concerns expressed by a Capitol Hills neighborhood committee regarding drug problems, residence burglaries and car prowls. A good relationship was established between the community and the assigned Patrol and Crime Prevention Officers. Many committee members and block leaders have taken advantage of our invitation to participate in our "Ride-a-Long" Program. As a result of this task force, a drug house in the neighborhood was shut down by units of the Special Investigations Division. Car prowls decreased 50% . While residence burglaries have not decreased, the police/community partnership is continuing and is directed at a reduction of residence burglaries and the prevention of other problems . The task force concept has also been used to work with other community/neighborhood groups expressing concerns regarding problems at : Miller Park: Disturbances, drinking, drug use by after-hour trespassers in the park. Downtown (area of 300 South & Main) : Transients and drunks affecting local businesses . Rio Grand Street: Transients and drunks affecting local businesses. Five "Policing Goals" were listed in THE FUTURE publication to initiate the Community Policing Effort. Those goals and our progress toward achieving them are as follows : 1. Introduce the concept of Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design. A Crime Prevention Officer completed the training course and is being very successful in introducing the concept. She is working with the Parks Department to employ these concepts with problems in Miller Park and Old Canal Park. She is a member of the Wasatch Hollow Committee whic.h is attempting to create a new neighborhood park. CPTED concepts are being considered in the design of this park to discourage criminal activity. She was consulted by Westminster College administration concerning the consideration of CPTED concepts for the remodeling project. A number of the concepts were used. She is teaching classes and her last class involved police personnel, a City Council member, -4- Community Policing Effort - con' t representative from the Mayor' s Office, Parks Department and Building and Planning. Also included were neighborhood representatives and an architect from the Salt Lake City School District. Community and - government response to these concepts is very encouraging. A one week seminar sponsored by Salt Lake City is being considered. 2. Reestablish "Officer Friendly" as a full time position to allow the development of 'Youth Against Crime Program" . The position has been established in the manning table, but is yet unfilled. The new police officers hired to bring us up to full strength have been assigned to higher priority field assignments due to unanticipated retirements and resignations. 3. Enhance the "Victim Contact" Program. Develop a more convenient method for first response officers to advise victims of available Crime Prevention assistance. An updated community human resource directory has been distributed to all divisions within the Police Department. Crime Prevention personnel met with all Patrol Division sergeants to brief them regarding existing programs. A more convenient method referral is being developed and will be implemented as soon as possible. 4. SPECIFIC COMMUNITY POLICING SQUAD -GOALS. A. Create added visual aids for use in neighborhood meetings. This allows citizens to see that all of the burglary locations are not in their immediate neighborhood. Pin maps showing the location of burglaries and other crimes are being constructed, and it is anticipated that with the assistance of the new Police Volunteer Program these maps can be maintained. Other visual aids have been developed and include display racks to hold printed Crime Prevention information. The racks are easily transported while loaded and provide easy access for interested citizens at meetings. A purchased portable metal display structure enables Crime Prevention to display posters, charts, maps, etc. , at meetings or other functions. These visual aids enhanced the Crime Prevention display at the Animal Fair, City Fest, the West Jordan Crime Fair, and other neighborhood meetings . -5- Community Policing Effort - con' t B. Expand the Senior Citizen Training Programs. This is to be accomplished by asking the Senior Activity Centers to host regular meetings , about four per year, to allow us to inform senior citizens of several different problems. 1 - Security in the Home 2 - Street Safety 3 - Frauds and Con Games 4 - As selected by officer/specialist and audience Crime Prevention personnel have conducted at least one meeting at the Senior Activity and residential facilities and this is an ongoing program. C . Creation of a 'Block Leader Bulletin'. This would be a one page flier informing the block leaders of specific problems or information pertaining to their neighborhood. Two (2) bulletins have been sent to date. In addition, a special bulletin was distributed concerning the Miller Park problems and the Wasatch Hollow Park development. 5 . Specific goals by council district. These goals were listed in THE FUTURE. All have been addressed and most are now ongoing programs. -6- STATUS REPORT COMPUTERS Several areas have had personal computers purchased far them and have already proved beneficial. Those areas are: Checks/Fraud Squad, Fiscal Unit, and Vice/Intelligence Unit. Additions to the Burroughs Micro System in the Detective Division have made available 3 more work stations and upgraded the main processor to current technology. One additional work station has been made available to the Youth Division. The Records Division is in the process of upgrading the processors. Three additional work stations will be added shortly. POLICE VOLUNTEER PROGRAM At the present time, 11 volunteers have completed applications , background checks and attended an orientation class . They will be operational in the future. FOOT AND BICYCLE PATROL We feel that the program has proven itself. The tactical use of bikes has allowed the officers assigned to cover more territory , respond quicker, and patrol more effectively . These two examples are included to illustrate. Officers have reduced car prowls in parking lots. They made six arrests in the first month and performed over 1 , 500 parking lot checks during August. Prowls dropped from dozens a day to one or two a week . In a two-hour period, while working in Sugar House Park, three officers wrote 22 citations for various offenses It would have been difficult to have had this success except by using bikes. POLICE SERVICE DOGS The implementation of a Police Service Dog Unit is currently underway. Three officers have been selected and busy-- building the program from the ground up. We are waiting for their dogs to arrive. -7- Status Report — con' t PUBLIC SAFETY PARKING The parking at the Public Safety Building has not improved. Other parking in the area of the Public Safety Building has been used to a limited extent. It is our understanding that a study has been started to address the parking problem we are faced with. A.F.I.S. The Automated Fingerprint Identification System is coming on line as anticipated. Training is underway with our Crime Lab personnel. The System should be up and working by the first of January 1990 . The fingerprint data base was installed in July and the State system has been up for several weeks. The system has already provided the ID of a Tooele County homicide victim.

DePaulis and City Council of Salt Lake City City & County Building Salt Lake City, UT 84111 RE: 1990 Policy Issues Dear Mayor and City Council Members: n� Pursuant to your request for policy issues that will be before the City Council during the next year, the Public Utilities Department would like to submit the following: 1 . Five Year Capital Improvements Program. As we go forward into the next decade, one of the major issues facing the Department of Public Utilities is its ability to finance essential programs such as plant and system replacements, compliance with more stringent environmental standards and meeting the increasing cost to operate and maintain aging facilities. Last year, the department submitted a new five year capital improvements program, which outlined the need to spend $50 million for water system projects and $30 million for sewer projects. The plan is reviewed annually and updated as needed . The water and sewer profession recommends that utilities practice such planning to meet the growing needs of the industry. The policy issue is to formally adopt the Five-Year Capital Improvements Program and to commit to financing it to. insure the continued high levels of service in the future. Currently the City only adopts a single year water utility capital budget and the program depends on year-to-year approval. On the other hand the Sewer Capital Improvements Program is part of the City ' s adopted 201-Facilities Plan which is a combination capital projects program and a financial plan to fund it. Most will agree that the sewer program has been a success and proves the wisdom of long-range capital improvements planning. Mayor and City Council December 21 , 1989 Page 2 To adopt the Five-Year Capital Improvements Program for both the water and sewer utilities would require the City to recognize the importance of such a plan and as the need arises to raise the necessary revenue to finance it. As part of the Public Utilities Department ' s 1989-90 budget, the department will recommend that funds be borrowed by the Water Utility Fund from the Sewer Utility Fund to finance the seismic improvements at the Parley' s Water Treatment Plant, purchase watershed land and purchase water rights during first budget opening in 1990. 2. Earthquake Preparedness and Mitigation. Salt Lake City is located in an active seismic zone that could produce earthquakes in a magnitude of 7 . 5 and greater. The public drinking water and sanitary sewer systems (considered "Lifeline" facilities ) are subject to widespread damage in the event of a major earthquake episode. It has been the policy of the City to bring critical public facilities up to current seismic standards in order for them to withstand a major earthquake and continue to provide emergency services in the aftermath of such an event. However, there is great expense and there has not been a funding source to finance the necessary improvements. The Department has estimated that it will take over $10 million to bring its water treatment plants up to seismic standards and perhaps even a greater amount to bring the sewage pumping and treatment facilities up to standard. Currently the department is conducting an engineering study at the sewage facilities to determine what action is needed and an estimated cost. To finance the necessary improvements would require additional water revenues and an altering of the City' s adopted 201-Facilities Plan. 3 . Water Sales Moratorium in the Canyon Watersheds. In 1981 , the Department of Public Utilities placed a "moratorium" on any new surplus water sales agreements within the canyons watersheds. In 1988, the City adopted its "Watershed Management Plan" which directed the department ( Public Utilities Advisory Committee ) to evaluate the moratorium after Salt Lake County had adopted its "Wasatch Canyon Master Plan, " to determine if the moratorium should remain, be replaced or modified. The recommendation would either be adopted as a policy or formalized by ordinance. The Public Utilities Advisory Committee will begin studying this issue in their January meeting and expects to submit their recommendation to the Mayor sometime this coming spring. Mayor and City Council December 21 , 1989 Page 3 This is a highly charged issue, because it will have a dramatic impact on development in the Wasatch Canyon watersheds . If the moratorium is kept in place it will limit growth in the canyons to existing contracts. If the moratorium is relaxed it will allow additional development within the canyons. Within the past two months the Department has denied approval of two proposed developments due to the moratorium. I and my staff are looking forward to discussing these important policy issues with you on January 4, 1990.

These problems had been building for many years and the City Commission decided in late 1978 to transfer the sewer department to the water department to form the Public Utilities Department.The sewer division, before the transfer,was funded through the City's general fund and the Commission recognized that the financing of major improvements could better be accomplished through an enterprise fund.The water department had operated as an enterprise fund since 1963 when the Uniform Fiscal Procedures Act was passed by the Legislature. Emergency Measures (Phase I) In response to the City Commission's mandate to solve the wastewater treatment problems, the Public Utilities Department hired the firm of Horrocks & Carollo En- gineers on Aug. 7, 1979 to conduct an"odor study" and to recommend an odor mitigation program.The department implemented the study's recommendation to abate odor sources at the facility. However,the study also concluded that major im- provements would be necessary to permanently eliminate the problem. At that time the plant was operating at 90-percent of design hydraulic capacity, had inadequate solids handling facilities, the disgesters were partially filled with grit and much of the plant's equipment was in need of repair or replacement. Between 1980 and 1983 the department spent $2,081,503 (hereafter referred to as Phase I) from current earnings to correct the most serious problems while a 201 Facilities Plan was being conducted to determine the long term solution.Also, during this early period the City attempted to gain federal assistance through EPA construction grants,but from the beginning it was obvious that these funds would not be available and that the City would have to finance its own program.

The 201 Plan as adopted by the City Council included a financial plan that would fund the construction of facilities on a cash flow pay-as-you-go basis. Sewer user charges were increased from $.54 to $1.08 per 100 cubic feet of water discharged into the sanitary sewer system, increasing the average residential sewer bill from $4.32 to $8.64 per month. Connection fees were increased from $300 per residential equivalent to $1,000 over a three-year period.These funds would completely finance the 201 Plan on a cash flow basis.The cash flow plan saved millions of dollars in debt service and provided maximum flexibility in making future decision.This flexibility allowed the City to reduce sewer rates on Jan. 1, 1986,July 1, 1988 and July 1, 1989. Near Term Improvements (Phase II) During the early phases of the 201 Plan study the consultants identified the most serious treatment process deficiencies and these improvements (refer to Phase II Construction)were included in the City's 1981, $30 million bonding program which was approved by the City Council in Aug. 17, 1981.The funds for sewer construction SLC Public Utilities 201 Wastewater Plan Review Page 3 improved the plant's solids handling facilities and provided a new chlorine contact chamber. The near term construction began on Aug. 26, 1982 and was completed on Apr. 24, 1984.The retention basin was completed in January, 1985. With these facilities, the wastewater treatment plant came into compliance with its EPA NPDES limitations. Phase II -Near Term Improvements Near Term Improvements $3,309,056.84 Chlorine Retention Basin* 701,952.37 Digester Wall 173,102.76 $4,184,111.97 *In the original bonding program this project was designed as a replacement of the outfall line. An engineering evaluation determined that the chlorine retention basin was more effective and cost efficient. 201 Facilities Plan The recommended plan consisted of the following elements: •Upgrade and expand the existing plant at 56 MGD: Conduct pilot study to determine if short-term aeration process will meet polished secondary standard and/or will ensure meeting 25/25 standard at 56 MGD rate. Construct a sewage pump station and transfer line from the existing plant to the proposed new facility in the Northwest Quadrant. This would be postponed until needed. Site investigation and purchasing of necessary land and rights-of-way for new treatment plant. Included would be wetlands study, applica- tion for a discharge permit, all necessary soils and geo-technical studies and identifying needed rights-of-way. Construct emergency power/energy recovery facilities. Construct administration building and renovate laboratory. Land reclamation with sludge at airport farm land. Effluent polishing. • Solids Handling (Sludge) Confirm airport site suitability. Prepare a permit application for demonstration project. SLC Public Utilities 201 Wastewater Plan Review Page 4 Conduct the demonstration project. Design a full-scale system. Implement interim operations. Construct permanent facilities. •Suggested method of extending the existing plant capacity: Use of the South Salt Lake Treatment Plant Use of temporary new treatment facilities in the Northwest Quadrant. Discontinue service to Chesterfield Improvement District. Replacement of the Redwood Road trunk line(0.5 MGD infiltration) Continued televised sewer inspection and sewer sealing. Removal of storm drain connections (1 MGD) •Construct sewer trunk lines in the northwest quadrant. The capital costs to implement the selected plan through the year 2005 were es- timated at approximately$137 million. 201 Plan Implementation - Phase Ill This phase of the plan cost a total of$24,847,696.49, and included various studies and treatment plant construction. Solids Handling-Apr. 5, 1983, the firm of Black& Veatch was hired to conduct the solids handling study at the Salt Lake City International Airport farm land leased to Mr. Hinkley. The final study was accepted by the Public Utilities Department on Dec. 5, 1985.The final plan called for the application of dried sludge to the Hinkley farm land. Sludge, soil and plant tissue analyses are required by the City/County Health Department in the issuance of a permit to apply the plant sewage sludge to croplands. Northwest Quadrant Site - On Dec. 20, 1983, the firm of Montgomery Engineering was hired to conduct the Northwest Quadrant second plant site study at a cost of $136,327.The study was accepted on Aug. 6, 1986 and 200 acres of land was pur- chased on July 31, 1986 at a cost of$2,655,129.56 On Apr. 16, 1985, the City Council amended the 201 Facilities Plan to reflect the conclusions of the wetlands treatment, sludge disposal and the second wastewater treatment plant site in the Northwest Quadrant studies. Existing Plant Upgrade & Expansion- On Aug. 14, 1984, the design of the existing plant improvements was awarded to CH2M Hill and later the preliminary design was SLC Public Utilities 201 Wastewater Plan Review Page 5 value engineered Horrocks & Carollo Engineers.The actual construction work began with the first contract award on Mar. 26, 1985.The entire project has been contracted in phases. With the completion of the short term aeration project during October, 1989 the cost for the wastewater treatment plant upgrade and expansion to- taled $22,056,239.93 Phase III -201 Facilities Plan Northwest Site Study& Land Purchases $2,791,456.56 Sludge Management & Sludge Storage 852,335.15 Pretreatment Plant Rehab 4,465,761.17 Main Plant Rehab& Energy Recovery 7,564,091.84 Admin. & Lab Bldg. & Operations 1,251,417.48 Short Term Aeration 5,862,555.88 Project Engineering, Inspection, 2,060,078.41 Construction Management& Operations Manual - Value Engineering $24,847,696.49 Sewer Collection System-Under the 201 Plan it was specified that $15,345,000 in sewer lines would be needed in the Northwest Quadrant.Also, in the cash flow plan, funds were provided for the department's normal operations and maintenance in- cluding sewer pipeline replacement.As of this date, the department has spent $3,920,116.43 in sewer line replacements form current earnings and over $6,571,565.64 has been spent in sewer line replacements and trunk lines for the Northwest Quadrant from 201 funds.Also as of this date the plan has funded the upgrading and expansion of sewer lift stations in the amount of$987,129.85 and equipment outlay items of$345,055.02. Utah Wastewater Disposal Regulations, Municipal Wastewater Facilities Planning & Compliance Criteria In accordance with State Requirements, the Public Utilities Department submitted to the Bureau of Water Pollution Control its adopted 201 Facilities Plan and a progress report on Dec. 20, 1985. Conclusion The City's 201 Plan has been successfully implemented over the past eight years of phased activity matching the cash-flow pay-as-you-go financial plan.The final con- struction work at the existing plant was completed in fall, 1989.This brings to an end this chapter of the 201 Plan. Additional projects will be developed and included in the plan and presented SLC Public Utilities 201 Wastewater Plan Review Page 6 through the annual budget process. Currently, five projects are in the design or con- struction phase.These include: 1) additional sludge beds and modifying existing beds, 2) expansion of the existing laboratory to accommodate both water and was- tewater analysis,3) a wetlands park to be built north of the administration building, 4)implementation of an odor control study and related modifications, and 5) seismic studies. The work performed under the 201 Plan has been in accordance to the plan and cost less than the original estimated cost. Each year the Public Utilities Advisory Com- mittee reviews the current cash-flow projections and has recommended the second plant in the Northwest Quadrant be postponed until 2005.These decisions are based on the City's successful flow mitigation program and slower than expected growth in the Northwest Quadrant. In the last four years the cash flow plan has been amended, decreasing the sewer rates. In 1986, the sewer rates were reduced by 17 percent,with a 6 percent Wastewater Treatment Plant Performance decrease in 1988 and 1989, totalling a 29 percent Average Daily Influent In MGD decrease over the last four 50 Capacity 45 year period. 40,/ % / The goals of the 201 Plan 35 / / / / 7 have been achieved at the ex- 30 fisting wastewater plant.The 25 plant has been compliance 20 with the EPA NPDES lumta- ,5 tions and for the ninth con- ,0 secutive year there has been no odor episode.The City's o wastewater program has been 79 80 81 82 aa 84 85 88 87 88 89 recognized by the State Division of Environmental Average Daily Effluent in Parts Per Million Health and the EPA.
