REPORT OF THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, INCLUDING REVIEW OF COUNCIL INFORMATION ITEMS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS. View Attachment This issue was not discussed. #2. INTERVIEW ALISON WEYHER PRIOR TO ADVICE AND CONSENT AS THE DIRECTOR OF SALT LAKE CITY COMMUNITY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT (CED) . Ms. Weyher said in the year she had been away from the City she came to appreciate how well Salt Lake City government functioned. She said she was fortunate to be able to work in Salt Lake City again. Councilmember Saxton asked Ms. Weyher to tell her about the confidence she had in the employees of her department. Ms. Weyher said she had every confidence in Salt Lake City employees. She said one of the best things Salt Lake City had were long-term employees. She said long-term employees carried valuable institutional memory. She said the climate of the City allowed employees to contribute as they felt necessary. Councilmember Saxton asked what Mayor Anderson' s vision for the position was and what Ms. Weyher' s emphasis would be with regard to Community and Economic Development (CED) . Ms. Weyher said the Director of Community and Economic Development had line responsibilities for planning, zoning, housing, building inspection, business licensing and transportation. She said she had committed to the Mayor to work with him on the revitalization of downtown and the Westside economic development. She said she other important issues were the beautification of downtown and the Westside Master Plan. Councilmember Saxton asked what Ms. Weyher's perception of employee morale was and what she planned to do if moral was low. Ms. Weyher said if moral was an issue she would look into it. She invited Councilmember Saxton to discuss and comment on concerns with her. Councilmember Christensen asked Ms. Weyher what direction the City would be going with 02 - 1 PROCEEDINGS OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH TUESDAY, OCTOBER 8, 2002 regard to developable lands on the westside. Ms. Weyher said the undeveloped land on the westside was the future of the City. She said increasing density in the core of the City and preservation of open space for future generations was important. She said judicious planning needed to be undertaken with these issues in mind. She said a Master Plan needed to be done. Councilmember Lambert said the Director of CED was one of the most important positions within the City. He said for this reason the Council needed to scrutinize the position. He asked Ms. Weyher if she or any of her staff had authored a strategic plan for Main Street. Ms. Weyher said there was a variety of documents written about downtown. She said Main Street was a special neighborhood in the City. She said the City needed to support surface retail as well as restaurants, nightlife and entertainment. She said she would investigate how recent the Main Street documents were and report back. Councilmember Lambert asked Ms. Weyher what her short-term goals were as a part of a common goal and effort to revitalize Main Street. Ms. Weyher said the first goal was to fill the buildings with workers and service retail. She said the next goal was to work with retailers and landlords for viable plans. Councilmember Lambert asked how Ms. Weyher proposed to fill office space. Ms. Weyher said the real estate brokerage community understood the market and would help attract new quality businesses into the community. She said good jobs that paid living wages were also needed in the downtown area. She said every lead needed to be followed up on and the City should be involved in marketing and paying personal attention to new businesses. Councilmember Lambert asked how Ms. Weyher perceived her relationship with those she would be directing and supervising and how she would approach the moral issue to rally the staff to support her in a collaborative effort. Ms. Weyher said it was important to her that employees felt free to talk to her. She said she welcomed the opportunity to learn and change. Councilmember Love asked Ms. Weyher about her experience putting economic development arrangements together and how those duties would be divided within the department. Ms. Weyher said she had worked with the business community to encourage businesses to come into the City. She said her experience included everything from industrial parks to planning roads. She said she had worked to bring Alpha Graphics to the City and had worked with State funding for industrial assistance. She said wanted to work with existing and new businesses. Councilmember Love said all Council Members were concerned with employee morale in the department. Councilmember Jergensen asked Ms. Weyher to explain her vision of what CED would do with regard to establishing policy for the City Administration and private sector to work together. Ms. Weyher said it was important to set goals and develop the framework the City wanted the private sector to fill. She said if the City wanted a vibrant nightlife the City need to make sure ordinances and policies reflected that. She said if the City wanted to fill buildings with retail opportunity and offices the City needed to make available the ability for that. She said the City needed to be a support to the private sector but not do the actual leasing. Councilmember Jergensen asked what Ms. Weyher anticipated as her top goals for the next six months. Ms. Weyher said there were many challenges facing the City and a strategic plan was needed. She said downtown was a priority. She said finding ways to get goods and services to Westside neighborhoods was a priority. Councilmember 02 - 2 PROCEEDINGS OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH TUESDAY, OCTOBER 8, 2002 Jergensen said long-term goals were important. He said the Council was concerned about affordable housing and housing accessibility. He said it would help to understand what role the City could play and where the City could find resources to carry out long-term housing goals. Councilmember Buhler asked Ms. Weyher if one of the previous CED high priorities had been the outlet mall at 5600 West and North Temple. Ms. Weyher said she did not characterize the 5600 West mall as a priority or a goal. She said the proposal had been made to the City by the developer. She said the advantage would have been a large source of sales tax revenue to the City. Councilmember Buhler asked Ms. Weyher if her position had changed with the election of Mayor Anderson. Ms. Weyher said that was correct but she had remained skeptical and was never convinced that the project could be completed to the scale which the developer anticipated. Councilmember Buhler asked Ms. Whyer why a comprehensive plan for capitalizing on the Olympics for economic development had not been written sooner. Ms. Whyer said there should have been a statewide plan. Councilmember Buhler asked Ms. Weyher if she would be involved in the recruitment of a Planning Director. Ms. Weyher said she was currently involved. She said she had received approximately 13 applications and was reviewing them. She said preliminary recommendations would be made, a committee would review them and make recommendations to the Mayor. She said it was her understanding the Planning Director would report directly to her and would also work with the Mayor. Councilmember Christensen asked what role Ms. Weyher saw the Economic Development Corporation of Utah (EDCU) , Chamber of Commerce and the Downtown Alliance in the economic development process. Ms. Weyher said she believed the Downtown Alliance functioned as a beautification and events management organization. She said EDCU was charged with bringing business from out of State into the community and facilitating business expansion within the State. She said she was uncertain how the Chamber of Commerce was working with regard to economic development. She said the coordination and duplication of effort of those organizations was something that needed to be looked at. Councilmember Lambert asked Ms. Weyher about a large anchor tenant at the Gateway. Ms. Weyher said Gateway was to be a life style entertainment center. She said an agreement had been made with the developer to have one large anchor tenant. She said the Council would have the right to approve the tenant and the space. She said there had always been fear the Gateway would take anchor businesses from other parts of the City. #3. RECEIVE A BRIEFING REGARDING THE RENOVATION OF THE CHASE MILL IN LIBERTY PARK. Rick Graham briefed the Council. Ms. Gust-Jensen said the Council needed to determine if a property hearing was needed. Mr. Graham said in 1994 the City contracted the daily operation of the Tracy Aviary to the Friends of Tracy Aviary, a non-profit group. He said one condition of the agreement was if Friends of Tracy Aviary raise funds to renovate the Chase Mill building the City would give them the opportunity and right to renovate. He said the building needed to be used for Aviary and public purposes. He said in 1999 Friends of the Aviary made progress getting funding partners to contribute to the renovation. He said the re-negation of the contract included an option to lease the mill, land under the mill and a portion of area around the mill for Aviary administrative purposes. He said Friends of the Aviary had now hired an architectural firm for plans and a bid for renovation had been placed. Mr. Graham said the issue was a land lease. He said this was a great opportunity to 02 - 3 PROCEEDINGS OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH TUESDAY, OCTOBER 8 , 2002 renovate one of the oldest pioneer structures in the City. He said Landmarks had approved the issue without conditions. He said the City Council had appropriated $250,000 in capital improvement funds as a City contribution to the $1 million renovation. He said the building was built between 1848 and 1852 and had been close to public use since the mid 1970' s. Mr. Graham said all three floors would be exposed and open for public use. He said interior improvements would be historical with three floors. He said the second floor would be used by Aviary administration for offices and the main floor would be used for exhibits, public use, Aviary programs and demonstrations. He said the bottom floor would have a small library and kitchen and would open up to an entertainment patio outside the building and inside the Aviary. Mr. Graham said the lease needed to be amended because of the amount of property outside the Aviary which was needed. He said a portion of the south end of the existing Children's Garden would be used. Council Members did not feel an administrative public hearing was needed. #4. RECEIVE A BRIEFING REGARDING THE GOLF MARKETING PLAN. View Attachment Matt Kammeyer, Rick Graham and Michael Sears briefed the Council. Councilmember Jergensen referred to Page 6 of the Golf Division Marketing Plan. He asked if the Salt Lake market was saturated. Mr. Graham said the market was saturated and was a challenge. He said the strategy was to keep the City's base golfers and entice them to golf more. A discussion was held regarding home golf courses and the frequent player discount card. Councilmember Jergensen asked that a future discussion be held regarding a financial business plan. A discussion was held regarding flexibility in pricing and contrasting fees from other counties. Councilmember Jergensen asked if the City's fees were too high and not flexible. Mr. Kammeyer said inflexibility when the number of players was high was the problem. Mr. Graham said the area market dictated what level of fees the City charged. Mr. Graham said players came back to courses due to the nature, the caricature and the condition of the course. A discussion was held regarding the decline in rounds of golf played at City courses. Councilmember Lambert said the on-line reservation system was an asset to City courses. He asked if the City pro-shops made a profit. Mr. Kammeyer said they did make a profit and prices were competitive. Counculmember Lambert asked what they were doing to increase women golfers. Mr. Kammeyer said two women teaching professionals were hired. He said several women only clinics had been held and more would be held in the future. He said he proposed a partnership with the Utah High School Activities Association to introduce golf to high school age women golfers. Councilmember Christensen asked Mr. Kammeyer to speak with the Salt Lake City School District with regard to student participation. Mr. Graham said Salt Lake district high school tournaments were played on City courses at a reduced fee. Councilmember Christensen asked Mr. Graham to develop a relationship with the Salt Lake Convention and Visitors Bureau and cab companies for City golf packages for tourists. Mr. Kammeyer said they were in the process of putting a package together with the Salt Lake Convention and Visitors Bureau. A discussion was held regarding banquet facilities at new and renovated City courses. Mr. Graham said approximately 86% of the rounds of golf played at City courses were played by citizens living in Salt Lake County or Davis County. Councilmember Saxton asked who the City was obligated to serve with the municipal courses. Mr. Kammeyer said the citizens of Salt Lake. He said the golf industry was constructing more golf courses than there were golfers or new golfers. He said they were interested in 02 - 4 PROCEEDINGS OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH TUESDAY, OCTOBER 8 , 2002 building around the game of golf and building new customers. Councilmember Saxton asked if pricing reflected the demographics of the surrounding area. Mr. Kammeyer said there was an average demographic which was used. Councilmember Saxton encouraged using an average local income of $29,000 per year for a family of four in the equation. She said many residents could not afford to golf. She requested reasonable pricing according to income for citizens of Salt Lake. Councilmember Turner asked if Pro' s at the courses were a marketing tool. He asked how the Pros were used. Mr. Graham said they were on-site agents of the marketing plan. He said they were the main component of the concession operation. A discussion was held regarding courses which were marginal with regard to making money. #5. RECEIVE A BRIEFING REGARDING THE INTERMOUNTAIN FIRE PLAN. View Attachment Dan Andrus and Michael Sears briefed the Council. Councilmember Buhler asked how the Fire Department had started enforcing a code which the City had not adopted. Mr. Andrus said the State Fire Prevention Board had adopted the International Fire Code. He said it then became the minimum standard for all political subdivisions in the State. He said it had become law without action by the Council but it the Council's best interest to adopt it. He said this was a housekeeping issue that was deferred until the Olympics were completed. Councilmember Christensen asked if Mr. Andrus ever anticipated the City's fire code being different than the State' s fire code. Mr. Andrus said the State was interested in having uniform codes throughout the State so contractors could work with one set of codes. A discussion was held regarding the State adopting the International Fire Code and Building Code. Councilmember Lambert asked if there were any differences between what the City was adopting and what the State had adopted. Mr. Andrus said there were two alterations in the code. He said one referred back to a piece of City code which was enforcement of penalties. He said the second was regarding reporting fires and hazardous materials. He said the changes denoted reporting without delay. All Council Members were in favor of moving the item forward. #6. CONTINUE THE DISCUSSION REGARDING WALKABLE COMMUNITIES AND TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT. This issue was not discussed. #7. RECEIVE A FOLLOW-UP BRIEFING REGARDING BUDGET AMENDMENT NO. 10. View Attachment Michael Sears, Alison McFarlane, Rocky Fluhart, D. J. Baxter and Randy Hillier briefed the Council. Ms. Gust-Jenson said Motion No. 1 had been written before the Council had instructed staff to include $150, 000 for youth programs. She said the motion should read "Adopt initiatives 1, 2 and 5". Ms. McFarlane said the proposal was for an Olympic festival and would cost approximately $92,000. She said $10,000 was for contingency. She said the idea was that whomever was awarded the contract would be able to find sponsorship to fill the $12,000 gap. She said the Salt Lake Olympic Committee (SLOC) would also be doing an event on February 8, 2003 at the Rice Eccles stadium. She said each City would do an 02 — 5 PROCEEDINGS OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH TUESDAY, OCTOBER 8 , 2002 event. Councilmember Love said many people were disappointed with the stadium event because they would need to have tickets. She said the City should hold an event which the whole community could participate in. Councilmember Jergensen asked what the scope of the downtown event was. He said it should be held on February 8, 2003 immediately following the event at Rice Eccles stadium. Ms. McFarlane said the idea was for Salt Lake City to cooperate with the Convention and Visitors Bureau, Ski Utah, the Chamber of Commerce, Gateway, and the Downtown Alliance to coordinate a downtown event. Councilmember Buhler suggested approving Items 1, 2, 4 and 5, with the understanding the Administration would come back to the Council with more information. A discussion was held regarding the allotment of $80,000 for the Winter Festival. Ms. Gust-Jenson said the festival would cost much more than $80,000 and funding could be raised. She said the Council could vote to continue the issue and have further discussion or vote no and have no further discussion. A discussion was held regarding F-1, Budget Amendment No. 9 of the Council meeting agenda. Councilmember Jergensen said the Council had the opportunity for some urban design. He recommended moving forward. A discussion was held regarding changing the horseshoe in front of the City and County Building. Councilmember Buhler asked if the Council wanted to spend funding on pavers instead of changing the horseshoe. Mr. Baxter said the horseshoe would be approximately $148, 000 and the pavers would be $162,000. A discussion was held regarding this issue. Mr. Baxter said scored concrete could be used in place of pavers and would save approximately $35,000. Councilmember Buhler asked if Council Members were in favor of the following possible motions concerning the 200 East mid-block crosswalk: 1-Fund the full amount requested: $311,434. 2-Fund the reconfiguration of the horseshoe in the amount $148, 609, to allow for a center-aligned crosswalk and install the traffic signal with Transportation Division funds. 3-Not fund the request but direct the Administration to install the traffic signal with Transportation Division funds. 4-Not fund the proposal and request the Administration bring this proposal before the Council at a later date. Council Members Buhler, Love, Christensen and Lambert were in favor of Motion 2. Councilmember Jergensen, was in favor of Motion No. 1. He suggested an alternative motion approving Motion No. 2 and asking to find funding for the crosswalk in the construction budget. Councilmember Buhler asked Council Members if Ms. Weyher's appointment should be passed on the Consent Agenda or if the appointment should be deferred to a later date for discussion. All Council Members were in favor of moving the issue to the next City Council meeting. #8. ENTER INTO AN EXECUTIVE SESSION, IN KEEPING WITH UTAH CODE, TO DISCUSS REASONABLY IMMINENT LITIGATION. Executive Session was held. See File M 02-2 for confidential tape and Sworn Statement. 02 - 6 PROCEEDINGS OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH TUESDAY, OCTOBER 8 , 2002 The meeting adjourned at 9:03 p.m. cm 02 - 7 ioNo 2 W S MEMORANDUM DATE: October 4, 2002 TO: Salt Lake City Council Members FROM: Michael Sears, Budget&Policy Analyst RE: Salt Lake City Golf Division—Marketing Plan The Administration forwarded the attached Golf Marketing Plan in response to a legislative intent statement issued in June 2001. The intent of the Council was that the Golf Division would brief the City Council by September of 2001 on a marketing plan including some new incentives that the Golf Division had recently created. The presentation was delayed so that the Golf Division could hire a marketing manager and have adequate time to prepare a comprehensive marketing plan. The Golf Division forwarded the Golf Marketing Plan in May of 2002. This plan was prepared"in house" by the Division's marketing manager. Council staff included the plan on the announcement portion of a Council work session. During the discussion of the marketing plan, the Council noted that the plan did not contain fee strategies or benchmark data. The Council requested that Council staff research and compare the City's plan with marketing plans of other golf courses. Council staff contacted and discussed the City's marketing plan with seven marketing and golf professionals. After sending the City's plan to these professionals, Council staff again contacted these individuals for their responses to the plan. The feedback that Council staff received indicated that while the plan is not especially noteworthy and may not contain innovative marketing strategies for the industry, it could be considered a textbook example of a standard marketing plan for a municipal golf program. The responses to the plan were generally favorable. Council staff obtained copies of marketing plans from other municipal golf courses that were available on the Internet and also obtained textbook examples of marketing plans. Attached to this report is an example of a textbook marketing plan with comparisons to the City's golf marketing plan. As noted in Council staff research, a marketing plan contains information about the entity and its products, marketing objectives and strategies, as well as how the company will measure the success of the marketing activities. The plan describes all the marketing activities that will be performed during a specified time period (usually one year). The plan will also include any background information and research results you used to select those marketing activities. Additionally, the costs associated with the planned marketing activities as well as the measurements that will be used to determine success will be documented. The marketing plan helps establish, direct and coordinate the entities marketing efforts. Preparing a marketing plan forces the entity to assess what's going on in the local marketplace and how it affects business. The plan also provides a benchmark for later measurement. The process of preparing a marketing plan guides the entity to developing a successful marketing strategy. The process of thinking about business goals and marketing strategy can be as important as the resulting plan. Most often, a marketing plan is a component of a business plan. A business plan basically states how you plan to run the entity, what the entity's goals are, how much money it will take to achieve those goals and what activities will be performed to achieve the stated goals. Marketing is one of those activities. Marketing plans sometimes stand-alone but should always support and be closely linked to an entity's business objectives. Council staff has prepared the attached table that notes in the left-hand column some common elements of a marketing plan. The right-hand column contains some of the text from Salt Lake City's plan that relates to the common elements of a textbook marketing plan. The inserted text may have been changed slightly to allow the thoughts to "stand alone" and not be dependent on surrounding sentences. Following the end of the 2002 golf season, the Golf Division can provide the Council with a status report on several of the marketing plan initiatives that have already been implemented. cc: Cindy Gust-Jenson,Rocky Fluhart,David Nimkin,Rick Graham, Steve Wetherell,Matt Kammeyer,Greg Davis, Steve Fawcett,and Gordon Hoskins 2 ATTACHMENT COMPARISON OF SALT LAKE CITY'S GOLF MARKETING PLAN TO A TEXTBOOK EXAMPLE Common Elements of a Marketing Plan Key Elements of Salt Lake City's Golf Marketing Plan Executive Summary(textbook example) Salt Lake City's Golf Marketing Plan—Executive Summary The Executive Summary should introduce the Since 1950, the number of American golfers has grown seven-fold from 3 '/s million to company or organization and explain the major roughly 27 million participants in the year 2000.

The keys to increasing participation and retaining those who are introduced to golfing lie in the continual development of targeted programs that are tailored to making the game more fun and inviting to an ever-widening demographic base, while retaining a strong connection to golfs traditions and values. The Salt Lake City Golf Division has prepared this marketing plan to evaluate industry related data, form discussions and strategies based upon available industry data, and outline a series of detailed programs that are designed to meet four basic profit increasing objectives: ■ Develop new market segments by implementing strategic golf introductory programs that proactively facilitate the movement of first time and occasional golfers to golfers that are more committed and play more rounds of golf at City-owned golf courses. • Develop, implement, and market increased use of the City's courses to local golfers,visiting golfers, and local businesses. • Develop and implement programmatic changes to maximize the on-course advertising revenue potential of all the City's golf courses. • Increase focus on the retention of current customers through improved customer relationship management practices. Focus on the removal of certain barriers that limit growth within the current and future marketplace. Introductory Programs Additional attention needs to be given in the process of introducing"non- golfers" to the sport. Two of the greatest market segment growth opportunities involve women and juniors. On-Course Advertising Opportunities Salt Lake City courses have a readily definable demographic that represents a much desired market segment with many high profile sponsors. Customer Retention The traditional business approach has been to concentrate on the avid golfer. This will continue to be true, however, an increase in efforts to migrate occasional golfers into moderate ones and moderate golfers into avid ones would pay excellent dividends in the future. The Golf Division has closely researched industry data and has evaluated current facility strengths, weakness, opportunities, and threats to produce detailed strategies that will open new market segments, increase current customer activity, plant seeds for future market growth, develop new revenue sources, and effectively track program effectiveness and customer needs. 2 Current Situation (textbook example) Salt Lake City's Golf Marketing Plan—Current Situation This section of a marketing plan provides ...since 1950, the number of American golfers has grown seven-fold from 3-1/2 million information about location, target market and to roughly 27 million participants in the year 2000.

Junior golfers are defined as those golfers of ages 12 through 17 who played at least one round of golf during the year 2000. Senior golfers in this golfer demographic are defined as those ages 50 and over who played at least one round of golf during the year 2000. In the industry, core golfers are defined as those golfers ages 18 and over who played at least eight rounds of golf during the year. Rounds On a national basis, the total golfing population of 26.7 million golfers played 586 million rounds of golf in the year 2000. Beginning Golfers For the past 10 years, the game has been seeing approximately two million beginners a year, with the 18 -29 age group producing the largest single sub-segment. 3 Female Golfers Although they comprise just 19% (5.1 million) of all golfers, they continue to account for more than 30% of all beginning golfers. The growth potential of the female segment of the golf population is reflected in the fact that among the total population of women in the U.S., the participation rate in golf among women is about 5%versus 18.5% for males. Junior Golfers Since 1986, the number of junior golfers has increased 43%to 2.1 million. Senior Golfers Research continues to show that golfers not only play more as they get older, but that their overall spending on golf also increases. Public vs. Private Golf Approximately 80% of all golfers in the U.S. today play the majority of their rounds at public courses. On the other hand, the average private club golfer plays more than twice as many rounds per year(34) as the average public golfer(16). In marketing to golfs customers, perhaps the most important information to note concerning the classification of golfers described in the above studies is the impact these various classifications have on golfs revenue stream. Avid golfers—by industry definition, those who play 25 or more rounds annually, or who spend more than$1,000 annually on golf-related entities—make up about a quarter of the golfing population, but account for 53% of spending. They, and moderate golfers playing eight to 24 rounds per year, account for 94% of rounds played. At the other end of the spectrum, golfers deemed "Occasional Golfers"—playing seven or fewer rounds per year—account for 47% of the golf population, but spend only 11% of the total.

When committed golfers are asked what attracts them to playing the game of golf they most frequently indicate that they value the social aspect, competition and challenge, being outdoors in nature, and the healthful aspects of the experience, such as tension relief. According to the National Golf Foundation, through expansion of the population, and the normal influx of new players taking up the game, the golf industry can expect the addition of approximately 3 to 4 million golfers and 100 million rounds over the next decade. Current Players. The largest opportunity for growth rests among those presently playing less than 25 rounds per year. 5 Former Golfers. Twelve million former golfers (out of a total of 42 million adult former golfers) indicate that they have a high interest in becoming committed golfers. Non golfers. Only about 7 million (representing about 5%) of the 130 million non- golfers, are highly interested in the game. Junior Golf Opportunity. Juniors represent another opportunity for the industry. There are 51 million juniors in the U.S; age 5 to 17. The keys to increasing participation and retaining those who are introduced to golfing lie in the continual development of targeted programs that are tailored to making the game more fun and inviting, while providing a stronger connection to golfs traditions and values. The primary market area for the golf courses operated by the Salt Lake City Golf Division is principally defined by the U.S. Census boundaries of the Salt Lake City- Ogden Metropolitan Statistical Area;the northern part of Utah County; Summit County; and those portions of Tooele and Wasatch Counties nearest Salt Lake City. The most recent data from the National Golf Foundation and other sources indicates that on the national level, approximately 11.7%of the total population of individuals of age 12 and over plays golf. However, with a golfer participation rate of 15.1%, Utah is ranked the 12th highest state for percentage of residents who play golf. Except for resort golf courses, the demand of the local golf market largely determines a course's ability to generate revenues and profits In 1990, there were twenty-seven golf courses in the combined counties of Davis and Salt Lake. In 2000, the number had increased to 42. This represents a 55.6% increase in golf courses over the past decade, while the population of the two counties increased by only 24.5%. Furthermore, this challenge in supply and demand will further intensify as a result of additional golf courses in the primary market area that are currently under construction or in the planning stages. The Golf Division has identified 8 additional golf courses in the primary market area that were under construction as of December 31, 2001, and nine others that are currently in the planning stage. • 6 Marketing Objectives(textbook example) Salt Lake City's Golf Marketing Plan—Marketing Objectives The company's marketing objectives are stated, Quantity and variety of golf courses: Salt Lake City manages eight golf courses, the such as increasing the awareness of its product strongest presence by a single management entity in the local golf market. among the target audience. Also include the time Well-conditioned courses: In survey after survey, golf consumers indicate course frame for achieving your marketing objectives. conditions as the single most important factor in their choice of where they choose to play golf. Reputation: After more than 80 years in operation, providing area residents and visitors with reasonably priced, high-quality public golf courses, Salt Lake City Golf continues to enjoy an enviable reputation as the one of the premier municipal golf providers in the country. Loyal customer base: The longevity of the City's golf operations and the quality of the service provided has established a loyal customer base that, in many cases, extends through several generations of golfers. Economies of scale: The operation of eight golf courses in a single management system permits the City to employ various economies of scale in its operations. Staffing: Salt Lake City's Golf Professionals and Golf Course Superintendents represent an exceptionally experienced, very competent group of professionals, highly regarded by their peers in the industry and by the local golfing public. Technology: For a number of years, the City has been on the leading edge in the local market when it comes to employment of technology in its golf operations. Customer database: The implementation of the technology features discussed above has given the Golf Division a large customer database from which to implement various customer relationship management strategies. Location: Over the past several years, location has been both a strength and a weakness. Debt service: The funding required to service the revenue bonds for the two courses the City built in 1990 still provides significant draw down in the Golf Division's capital improvement capabilities. Adherence to the Division's Business Plan over the past several years has made it possible to make significant inroads on long-standing capital improvement needs, but full relief will not be available until the bonds are retired in 2008. Capital improvements are critical to maintain competitiveness in the market. Age of facilities: When compared to other golf courses in the market place, the City's courses are, for the most part, older facilities that have been in operation for decades. Lack of banquet room space: The ability to attract corporate tournaments is sometimes contingent upon the availability of banquet room space. Relative inflexibility in fee pricing mechanisms: The structure of the approval processes required in municipal government fee pricing tends to limit flexibility in meeting the opportunity for demand-driven fee pricing such as has been practiced for some time in the hotel and airline industries, and is increasingly being employed in the golf industry. Women and juniors: Women and juniors represent the largest opportunity for future market expansion On-course advertising: By developing and selling on-course advertising, the Golf Division has the opportunity to realize new revenue potential that has not been fully utilized in the past. One-to-One Marketing: The information technology revolution has provided tools to better understand customer behavior and affords the opportunity to engage in better customer relationship management. Off-peak discounting: As discussed, one of the barriers to future growth in the participation rate in golf by those who indicate they would like to play more is the cost to play. Hospitality industry: Salt Lake City golf courses are excellently located within a short distance from downtown Salt Lake and Park City. Corporate sales: Opportunities exist to better market the City's golf courses to the local business community. On-Line Reservation System: A recent study conducted by Yahoo!Internet Life Magazine reported that metropolitan Salt Lake City ranks 6th on a list of the top 50 Internet-friendly cities. Gift cards: The Golf Division is evaluating an electronic gift card program for use 8 within the system. Threats Continuing increase in the quantity of competitive golf courses in the market area. Aggressive marketing by external competitors. Dependence on culinary water for irrigation purposes.

Evaluate, submit bid proposal, purchase and install necessary sponsorship items by spring of 2003. Fill 40%of program offering by January 2003. Fill 90% of program offering by January 2004 Achieve full repayment of capital outlay within five years, with 10%revenue growth annually. The traditional approach has been to concentrate on the avid golfer. This will continue to be true, however, an increase in converting occasional golfers into moderate ones and moderate golfers into avid ones would pay excellent dividends in the future. The Golf Division has the following planned strategies that will assist in understanding customer needs and increase focus on customer retention through improved relationship management. Refine the current customer database Develop benchmarks Develop data tracking standards Improve data integrity through employee training and database management Implement Customer Loyalty and Satisfaction Program(focused on-line customer surveys)by fall of 2002 Provide incentive programs that reward frequent play at Salt Lake City courses Provide course amenities and enhancements that increase customer satisfaction and create improved course loyalty Growing customer demand by lowering or eliminating identified barriers to growth that inhibit increased golfer participation rates 10 Acti n Programs (textbook example) Salt Lake City's Golf Marketing Plan—Action Programs This section is the company's marketing "to do" In order to access new customer bases throughout a diverse demographic cross-section list.

How is the company protecting its interests? In addition to hosting UJGA tournaments on several golf courses this summer,the Golf Division will be participating in the following enhanced programs that provide opportunities for those who wish to develop an interest in golf and also learn valuable life skills through the provided instruction programs: This summer, the Golf Division is partnering with the Sorenson Multi-Cultural Center, the University of Utah, and other organizations to develop a youth outreach program involving golf. The Golf Division also anticipates participation in The First Tee program, another program stressing the teaching of life skills to young participants. The Golf Division proposes to establish a partnership with the Utah High School Activities Association to develop a program designed to introduce young women(ages 14-18)to golf. Women reflect the greatest market opportunity for the golf industry. Minorities reflect a small but growing market segment. Recognizing the need to develop on-course advertising opportunities, a new full-time _ staff position of Golf Advertising and Marketing Manager was requested and approved 11 beginning in fiscal year 2002. There are five distinct areas of potential on-course advertising opportunities the Golf Division has currently identified and are in the process of developing. The Golf Division is developing a marketing program targeted at Salt Lake area businesses that do a significant amount of corporate entertaining and"business golf." The Hotel Voucher Program is designed to provide a discount incentive to area hotels for use in creating value-added golf offerings to their client base, such as golf weekend get-away packages. While the City annually hosts a large number of corporate golf tournaments each year, corporate golf tournaments have historically been solely managed through the professionals at each golf course, with little proactive follow-up subsequent to the tournament to attempt to reserve return bookings in the following season. The creation of an a new Internet site devoted to marketing the Division's golf program is under development and will be implemented by during the spring of 2002. The Frequent Player Discount Card program rewards golfers that play Salt Lake City courses on a regular basis.

SALT LAKE CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT DATE: October 4, 2002 SUBJECT: Ordinance adopting the 2000 edition of the International Fire Code as part of the Salt Lake City Code STAFF REPORT BY: Michael Sears, Budget & Policy Analyst CC: Cindy Gust-Jenson, Rocky Fluhart, Chief Querry, and Dan Andrus Document Policy-Related Facts Type Budget-Related Facts Miscellaneous Facts Ordinance There are no budget This change would replace This change will bring impacts resulting from The Uniform Fire Code with the Salt Lake City the adoption of The The International Fire Code Code in complianc International Fire Code as as part of the Salt Lake City with the State fire part of the Salt Lake City Code. code. Code. The Administration is proposing that the City Council approve an ordinance that deletes all references to the 1988 edition of The Uniform Fire Code and reference the 2000 edition of The International Fire Code as the City fire code. The recommendation of the Administration to adopt the International Fire Code 2000 Edition including Appendixes A, B, C, D, E, F, and G published by the International Code Council, Inc. The International Fire Code provides standards and procedures for the construction and maintenance of buildings and structures for the purposes of fire and life safety prevention. This ordinance is a housekeeping measure that will bring the City Code in line with the State approved fire code. Utah Code requires that the Utah State Fire Prevention Board adopt a nationally recognized code to be the minimum fire code for all political subdivisions of the state. The Utah State Fire Prevention Board adopted the 2000 dition of The International Fire Code on September 11, 2001 and it became effective on January 1, 2002. Th Administration has been following this code, rather than the one reflected in City Ordinance. The Council Office has received inquiries from citizens confused by the inconsistency. The adoption of the proposed ordinance will bring the City into compliance with the State. Additional information is contained in the transmittal from the Administration. The Administration has forwarded a table for use by Council staff. The table is _ attached to this staff report. The table outlines the existing City Code section, the topic of the section and where the topic is reference in the International Fire Code. Council staff has review the table, current City Code and the proposed Code and has found that the current fire code related restrictions or situations are found in the Page 1 proposed ordinance. As noted in the transmittal the proposed ordinance deletes all references to the 1988 edition of The Uniform Fire Code and clarifies some of the requirements for spill reporting. As part of the review of the proposed ordinance Council staff reviewed the fire codes of some local cities and comparable cities in the nation. The proposed fire code seems to be more stringent then many comparable cities. The incorporation of the International Fire Code and the Uniform Building Code seem to be one of the main factors of more stringent fire code. Other cities that operate under the Uniform Building Code have made exceptions to the building code. These exemptions allow more flexibility in building standards. As a result of the flexibility the resulting fire code in those municipalities is less stringent than a municipality that has tightened building requirements. Council staff has attached to this report Section 53-7-106 of the Utah Code. This section deals with the adoption of fire code. Also attached to this report is Rule R156- 56-701 of the Utah Uniform Building Standard Act Rules. This rule deals with the specific editions of the Uniform Building Standards that the City follows. The rule outlines the building standard that is in effect for the City. The International Fire Code references the Uniform Building Standards, specifically the International Building Code. In rule R156-56-704 the Statewide amendments to the International Building Code are noted. The statewide International Building Code amendments do not appear to have an impact on the International Fire Code that the State has adopted. Utah Code Sections 58-56-3 and 58-56-4 are also attached. These two sections of Utah Code deal with the adoption of building codes. Council staff has also attached a 4-page summary of the International Fire Code that was prepared by BOMA [Building Owners and Managers Association] International. The summary is helpful in understanding why the International Fire Code was created. The relevance of the attachments is that the new International Fire Code relates primary to the construction and maintenance of buildings and structures for the purposes of fire and life safety prevention. The nearly 400 page International Fire Code booklet is available for review in the Council Office if Council Members wish to research the fire code. Following the briefmg, the Council may wish to consider the following options: • Schedule consideration of the ordinance in a future Council Meeting. • Schedule another briefing for additional discussion. • Request that the Administration forward codes of this nature to the Council in a timelier manner in the future.

A key component of the "P" code Prothut, family is the International Fire Code,which contains provisions to � t regulate fire hazards in existing buildings, as well as provisions for imal Showl �lr�t�rs the installation,testing and maintenance of fire protection features 5tatstir in both new and existing buildings. Motrha$' Background Burls Guhle For decades, state and local governments throughout in the U.S. ikwurd4 adopted a model fire code to be enforced typically by the fire fit0,s service.Four model fire codes have been available for adoption: Curer( ter the National Fire Prevention Code, promulgated by the Building ltdmf4irt,9 Officials and Code Administrators International (BOCA);the DMA bun&iai Standard Fire Prevention Code,promulgated by the Southern Ake ROMA Building Code Congress International (SBCCI);the Uniform Fire Ohl institate Code, promulgated by the International Conference of Building rnm is Officials(ICBO)and Western Fire Chiefs Association(WFCA); and the NFPA 1 -Fire Prevention Code,promulgated by the National Fire Protection Association(NFPA). With the creation of the International Code Council (ICC)in 1994, repeated efforts have been made to merge these four codes into a single International Fire Code. These attempts at cooperation have been unsuccessful. Consequently,the code landscape will have at least two model fire codes in the year 2000: the ICC International Fire Code and the NFPA Fire Prevention Code. The International Fire Code is a merger of the provisions in the National Fire Prevention Code,the Standard Fire Prevention Code and the Uniform Fire Code. So while the International Fire Code itself is new, its provisions are not. They are based on fire codes that have been in use in the majority of the United States for decades. http://www.boma.org/intfirecode.htm 8/6/2002 international Fire Code Page 2 of 4 Opportunity for Improvement All government jurisdictions can realize a significant increase in efficiency by adopting a coordinated set of model codes. The continued lack of coordination between codes, and the conflicts between them, is a source of great concern as it causes needless delays in the construction process and generates redundant fire protection methodologies that affect both the regulators and the regulated. Contrast with NFPA NFPA is recognized worldwide for its standards, particularly those dealing with fire fighting operations, fire equipment and appliances. The NFPA believes that its Fire Prevention Code is a natural extension of its successful standards effort. As such,NFPA is more concerned with coordinating its fire code with its own standards than with the other codes on which government jurisdictions typically base their regulations- such as a building code. The NFPA Fire Prevention Code is promulgated by NFPA through a"consensus standard process." The primary body dealing with technical issues is a committee made up of 28 members representing various interests,with no single interest having a majority. While all NFPA members are eligible to vote on the committee's reports,their vote is strictly advisory. Final action on all reports is accomplished by another entity,the NFPA Standards Council. In the ICC process, however,final action on each code change rests with the voting members,who are state and local code officials responsible for public safety. Arguments Supporting the International Fire Code Following are four major points that can be used to urge state and local governments to adopt the International Fire Code instead of the NFPA Fire Prevention Code: 1. The International Code Council(ICC)process that develops and maintains the International Fire Code is superior to the NFPA process. The International Fire Code was developed through the International Code Council (ICC), an organization representing the three model code organizations(Building Officials and Code Administrators International, International Conference of Building Officials, and Southern Building Code Congress International) whose collective membership numbers 45,000. The majority of these building officials represent state and local governments. The ICC code development process is open and accessible to all http://www.boma.org/intfirecode.htm 8/6/2002 international Fire Uode Page 3 of 4 interested parties. All hearings and deliberations are conducted in public with opportunities for input throughout. Although NFPA standards process is designed to be "consensus," it is burdened with the claim of industry domination, particularly by those with interests from the fire equipment and appliance industry. The membership vote is susceptible to narrow interests "stacking the house" to accomplish a successful vote on an issue of concern. 2. The International Fire Code is designed to work harmoniously with the International Building Code and all other International Codes. Having codes that are incompatible and contradictory is the most frequent complaint of those responsible for interpreting, applying, and enforcing the codes. Entities that are subject to those codes deserve a fair opportunity to understand the requirements they are expected to comply with without protracted appeals, hearings and multiple interpretations from different agencies in the same jurisdiction. The "I" codes are being developed to include consistent requirements and expectations, so that, if a building element complies with the International Building Code,that element will also comply with the International Fire Code. 3. The International Fire Code has a clearly defined scope, rather than an overlapping and potentially conflicting relationship with other codes. The International Fire Code,which addresses fire prevention matters and extraordinary fire risks in existing buildings, relies on the International Building Code for most of its new construction criteria. The IFC does contain new construction provisions for fire protection systems, but these are replicated in their entirety in the IBC so that conflicts cannot occur. The NFPA Fire Prevention Code, however, contains criteria for both new and existing buildings.Moreover, it establishes a permit process for the enforcement of its provisions, duplicating the permit processes traditionally utilized by most jurisdictions. In addition, the new construction requirements of the NFPA Fire Prevention Code are not coordinated with any model building code. Thus, extensive analysis and amendment is required of any adopting jurisdiction, increasing the likelihood of conflicts and overlaps between the building and fire codes. These inherent conflicts, overlaps and inconsistencies can contribute to delays in the plan review and inspection process, http://www.boma.org/i ntfi recode.htm 8/6/2002 International Fire Code Page 4 of 4 create unnecessary'traps'for designers and owners, and add unwanted cost and complication to construction. 4. The International Fire Code recognizes that buildings built in accordance with the building code need not be subject to unreasonable retroactive requirements. The International Fire Code "grandfathers" existing buildings without the need for further alterations so long as the building and its occupancies comply with reasonable fire prevention provisions and extraordinary fire risks are mitigated. Under the NFPA Fire Prevention Code,many buildings constructed and maintained in compliance with the building code would require significant modifications and additional fire protection. Changing the rules for an existing building when it is already in full compliance with the building code for new construction is an unfair burden on the building owner. Action Requested Adoption of the International Fire Code, in conjunction with the International Building Code,will go along way to simplifying the building regulatory system. Governments adopting the IFC will set a precedent for others that will be considering the "I" codes. Given the resulting benefits,it is strongly recommended that BOMA members undertake an intensive effort to influence their state legislature to adopt the International Fire Code rather than the NFPA Fire Prevention Code.

He learned of the discussion scheduled for tonight on walkable communities, and asked that his comments be passed on to you. He offers that having buildings/shops closer to sidewalks is also a safety measure for the blind/visually impaired. He indicated that navigating a parking lot to get to the store is fraught with risk...drivers who are searching for a parking place instead of watching for pedestrians, generally poor visibility, crime factors. He wonders about this also being an issue for the mobility impaired. 10/8/2002 _;car c oR P I�OJ[ OFFICE OF THE CITY COUNCIL October 9, 2002 Robert Farrington Executive Director 238 South Main Street Salt Lake City, Utah 84101 Dear Mr. Farrington: This letter will confirm the City Council's discussion on Thursday evening, October 3 relating to a program for new holiday lighting, decor and performance stages for the central business district. We appreciate very much the Downtown Alliance's willingness to cooperate with Salt Lake City on a program that may extend beyond the holiday season, but we also realize that decisions need to be made right away on whether the Alliance moves ahead with its regular lighting program. We are writing to encourage you to move ahead with your program, and consider anything done by Salt Lake City as additional to your program. There are several reasons for our support of this approach. First,the City Council has a number of questions about the timing and the approach of the larger program, and it may not be possible for those questions to be answered in time for you to get a contractor in place for your portion of the lighting. Second, the Council supports maintaining the lighting that has previously been placed on streets other than Main Street. We would not want to see that discontinued due to an enhanced decoration program in the Main Street area. Third, some Council Members are anxious to learn more about the general types of programs proposed by bidders before a final decision to fund a City effort is made. Fourth, there is interest in understanding more about the concept of a winter festival and how that may relate to a downtown entertainment, lighting and decoration program. As we make this suggestion to the Downtown Alliance,we recognize that the funding from the Alliance that had previously been discussed as a component of a larger project would no longer be available for that larger project. It is our hope that any City-funded program would build upon what the Alliance has put in place over the last several years. 451 SOUTH STATE STREET, ROOM 304, SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH 541 1 1 TELEPHONE: 801-535-7600, FAX: SO1.535-7651 ®nccvc�co Pr,acn Again, we thank you for your willingness to cooperate. We recognize that whether to proceed on the usual lighting program or wait for the City is a decision of the Downtown Alliance Board. We want to share our thoughts with you and urge you to move ahead with your usual program. Sincerely, David L. Buhler Chaiiuian Salt Lake City Council cc: City Council Members Mayor Ross C. "Rocky" Anderson Rocky Fluhart Alison Weyher David Oka David Nimkin Frank Gray 11025 Linda Vista Dr. Lakewood, Colorado 80215 f!rav(a�attbi.com Dear Janice, Brent and Doug I'm sorry we had to cut our conversation short so I could catch my flight. I did some more thinking about exactly how to format the documents on the way back and I think this will work best. 1. All regulations relating to use and building envelope should be retained in the zoning ordinance. 2. All building and site development standards and guidelines should be in the design manual. I am attaching a draft of one section(CN) so you can see exactly what I am thinking. (Please excuse any typing mistakes or oversights as this was done quickly) I have also constructed a table at the bottom of the first page of the zoning regulation. Building height probably should have also been a column. The numbers in there are simply made up for this example. I have left the administration of the design guidelines with the existing staff structure. I thought that would allow for quick passage while you determine the best long term solution for administration. I have however removed a lot of the conditional use processes a I think they will become very cumbersome and very time consuming for the staff and have replaced them with an administrative determination appealable to the planning commission. I think this structure will make a rewrite very quick. The existing material is very well thought out and lends itself to this formatting. I am concerned that some of the setbacks etc. for each zone district should be variable in relation to the classification of the roadway on which if fronts. Turning movements on and off these various types of streets have different requirements, especially if you are trying to create a pedestrian friendly (and safe) environments. If you decide not to have individual requirements for each classification of streets, at least get your public works department to review the Portland material I have attached to insure that your existing standard are pedestrian oriented. Thanks for all the help you gave me during my stay. I could not have done my analysis without it. If you have any questions about what I have written please give me a call. Day (303-987-7530) Evening (303-202-1789). I would be glad to review any drafts you might produce.
