regarding the use of such leave adopted by the department in which the
employee works. Personal leave hours may be used on the first day of the pay

5. Termination Benefits. An employee separating from employment may not exhaust
more than 80 hours of any combination of accrued vacation, personal leave, or banked

any adjustment necessary after calculating the “prorated amount,” shall be paid
to the employee at 50 percent of the regular hourly base wage rate (not

personal leave credited at the beginning of the plan year, multiplied by the ratio
of the number of pay periods worked in the plan year (rounded to the end of the
pay period which includes the separation date) to 26 pay periods. If the

Page | 25
supervisor as much prior notice as possible.

travel, internship, mentoring or other activity that could be of benefit to the city
and the employee’s career development. Selected employees will receive their
full regular salary during the leave. Request for this leave must be submitted in
writing to the appropriate department head, stating the purpose of the request

Page | 20
c. Under this Plan “A,” Full-Time employees who have accumulated 240

hours to vacation time, must be made by notifying the employee’s
department timekeeper or the city payroll administrator, in writing, not
later than the second pay period of the new calendar year (or the

maximum allowable amount will be deemed waived for that calendar
year. In no event may sick leave days be converted from other than the
current year's sick leave allocation.

Page | 21
described, must be taken before any other vacation hours to which the

SALT LAKE CITY ORDINANCE
No. ____ of 2021
(Adopting the final rate of tax levy, including the final levy for the
Library Fund, upon all real and personal property within
Salt Lake City, made taxable by law for fiscal year 2021-2022)
An ordinance adopting the final rate of tax levy, including the final levy for the Library
Fund, upon all real and personal property within Salt Lake City made taxable by law for fiscal
year 2021-2022.
Be it ordained by the City Council of Salt Lake City:
PREAMBLE
Chapter 2, Title 59 of the Utah Code states that the governing body of each city shall, by
ordinance or resolution, adopt a proposed tax levy or, if the tax rate is not more than the certified
tax rate, a final tax levy on the real and personal property for various municipal purposes.
Chapter 2, Title 59, of the Utah Code provides for certain notice and hearing requirements if the
proposed tax rate exceeds the certified tax rate. In that event, the proposed tax rate does not
become final unless approved by resolution of the City Council following such notice and public
hearing. It is the intent of Salt Lake City to comply with the mandate of the Utah Legislature,
but reserve in itself the power to amend the tax rates set herein to guarantee, after final appraisal
figures have been determined, that it does not exceed the amount required for its governmental
operations and taxing authority granted by the Legislature.
It is the intent of Salt Lake City to adopt a total final tax rate for the general fund that will
raise $106,568,124, including $364,464 in new growth property tax revenue. Similarly, it is the
intent of Salt Lake City to adopt a final tax rate for the Library that will raise $20,979,2019
including $328,046 in new growth property tax revenue, which the City acknowledges will
require a truth in taxation hearing.
Further, it is the intent of the City to levy an additional tax, if necessary, to cover costs of
State legislative mandates or judicial or administrative orders under Chapter 2, Title 59 of the
Utah Code.
SECTION 1. PURPOSE. The purpose of this ordinance is to adopt a final tax levy,
which includes the amount of the final library fund tax levy previously adopted, pursuant to
Chapter 2, Title 59 of the Utah Code, upon all real and personal property within Salt Lake City
made taxable by law during fiscal year 2021-2022 to defray the necessary and proper expenses
of Salt Lake City to maintain the government thereof and for operating and maintaining its
libraries and reading rooms and to pay for costs of State legislative mandates or judicial or
administrative orders under Chapter 2, Title 59 of the Utah Code.
SECTION 2. FINAL TAX LEVY: 2021-2022. The City Council hereby adopts the
following final levy, subject to Chapter 2, Title 59 of the Utah Code, upon all real and personal
property within Salt Lake City made taxable by law, for the fiscal year of Salt Lake City
beginning July 1, 2021, and ending June 30, 2022, a tax of .004076 on each dollar of taxable
valuation of said property apportioned as follows:
a).002854 shall be credited as revenue in the general fund, generating $88,819,132 of
ongoing revenue; and
b) .000014 shall be credited to the judgment levy for the general fund, a one-year
adjustment generating $433,129 of one-time revenue; and

budgets are required by law. Section 2.52.020 of the Salt Lake City Code states in part that
employment staffing documents shall be adopted as an element of the City’s budget, or otherwise,
as the City Council may require. Three copies of such documents have been filed for use and
examination of the public in the Office of the City Recorder whose permanent office is located at
451 South State Street, Room 415, Salt Lake City, UT 84111 but which office is temporarily
located at 349 South 200 East, Salt Lake City, UT 84111.
NOW, THEREFORE, be it ordained by the City Council of Salt Lake City:
SECTION 1. PURPOSE. The purpose of this ordinance is to adopt a budget, except the
budget for the Library Fund which is separately adopted, for fiscal year 2021-2022, and to adopt
the employment staffing documents. All conditions precedent to the adoption of the budget, which
includes the employment staffing documents, have been accomplished.
SECTION 2. ADOPTION OF BUDGET. The budget attached hereto and made a part of
this Ordinance, shall be, and the same hereby is adopted as the budget of the City, excluding the
budget for the Library Fund which is separately adopted, for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2021
and ending June 30, 2022, in accordance with the requirements of Sections 10-6-105, 10-6-118
and 59-2-923 of the Utah Code, subject to the conditions set forth herein. The budget is subject to
the approval of the Mayor and reconsideration of the City Council pursuant to Section 10-3b-204
of the Utah Code.
SECTION 3. EXHIBITS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE. The following
exhibits are incorporated by reference in the budget for fiscal year 2021-2022 and adopted as an
element of the budget:
A. The Key Changes for All Funds, labeled “Council Adopted June ________, 2021”;
B. The employment Staffing Document, labeled “Council Adopted June ________, 2021”; and
C. The Motion Sheet, labeled “Council Adopted June ________, 2021.”
SECTION 4. BUDGET CONTINGENCIES. The following contingencies apply to the
budget adopted for fiscal year 2021-2022:
1. Diversification of public safety response – Set aside $2 million from Funding our Future,
public safety category, in an appropriated account with a contingency, which will be
released by the Council after discussion with the Administration about the feasibility of
establishing community enforcement and support approaches that enhance community
safety and reduce the dependence on sworn police officers for duties that fall outside of
their scope.
2. Conditional appropriation about future dollars spent on foothill trails – Existing and
new funds for the construction, modification and decommissioning of trails built under the
Foothills Trail System Master Plan, Phase 1, will be placed on hold contingent on the
Administration’s review in collaboration with a broad spectrum of community stakeholders
of:
a. the implementation to date of the master plan;
b. identification of adjustments or additional engagement as warranted; and
c. the Council’s authorization to move forward after the Council evaluates the results
of the process.
The City Council is willing to provide funding to the Administration for one or more
outside experts who can objectively evaluate the technical and public policy aspects of the
trail changes and additions completed to date and anticipated in the master plan.
That written evaluation should focus on, but not be limited to, the extent to which trail
planning and development have been consistent with the vision, goals and principles in the
Master Plan, including: best practices; strategies for the preservation and stewardship of
the land; and respect for Tribal concerns. In addition, the written evaluation should include
an analysis of how the process could be adapted to better meet the needs and desires of all
users.
Existing and new funds for environmental studies will not be on hold, so long as such funds
are not used for construction or decommissioning of trails. Existing and new funds for
maintenance or repair of existing trails will be on hold, but may be released incrementally
by the Council as information about adherence to best practices and progress on community
feedback is received.
3. Conditional appropriation for ARPA dollars – set aside $1,583,500 million the City
grant fund for future appropriation once federal guidelines are officially finalized and
programs/proposals can be tailored to meet those guidelines, including for potential future
CIP discussions and reimbursements for eligible expenses the City already incurred.
4. Continued Contingency for All Funding Our Future -- Sales Tax Funds (this has been
adopted each year since the City implemented the sales tax). The Council approves
Funding Our Future sales tax revenue appropriations with the following conditions:
a. Expenditure of Funding Our Future Sales Tax Funds. Funding our Future funds
may not be expended unless the department or division expending the funds
complies with:
i. Utah Fiscal Procedures Act
ii. The City’s Procurement Code and Rules
iii. Written verification from the City Attorney and City Finance Director that
proper legal and financial procedures have been followed.
b. Other Funding Our Future Budget Contingencies:
i. The Administration providing a written semiannual spending,
implementation and outcomes report on each of the four critical need areas.
ii. Tracking funding for Fleet provided through the Funding our Future tax
separately to ensure it is spent only on public safety (police, fire, dispatch).
iii. The Administration spending funds in the four critical need areas as adopted
in the attached key changes spreadsheet.
iv. The Administration bringing back to the Council any proposed adjustments
to the adopted budget in a budget amendment for re-appropriation before
changes are made.
v. The Administration maintaining and regularly updating a publicly available
dashboard reflecting revenues received and actual uses.
vi. In FY21-22 and all future funding requests, providing a label denoting
which line items are funded with this Funding Our Future sales tax funds.
vii. For all positions added, the Administration shall submit an annual written
review along with the Mayor’s Recommended Budget to ensure that each
position continues to serve the critical need areas and, if a Council work
session briefing is scheduled, provide a presentation of the report.
5. New Contingent Appropriation - Small Business Outreach and Support. Allocation of
$100,000 from the general fund to the Department of Economic Development’s small
business outreach and support program during the City’s major capital projects is
contingent on the Administration determining by August 31, 2021 whether the program is
eligible for ARPA funding. If the program does qualify for ARPA, those Federal funds
would replace a total of $200,000 general fund dollars, including the additional $100,000
which was approved in this budget to ensure that the program could begin its work
immediately.
SECTION 5. FILING OF BUDGET. The City Budget Officer is hereby authorized and
directed to certify and file copies of said budget with the State Auditor as required by Section 10-
6-118 of the Utah Code.
SECTION 5. PUBLIC INSPECTION. The City Budget Officer is hereby authorized and
directed to certify and file copies of the budget in the office of said Budget Officer and in the
Office of the City Recorder whose permanent office is located at 451 South State Street, Room
415, Salt Lake City, UT 84111 but which office is temporarily located at 349 South 200 East, Salt
Lake City, UT 84111, which budget shall be available for public inspection during regular business
hours as required by Section 10-6-119 of the Utah Code.
SECTION 6. EFFECTIVE DATE. This Ordinance shall be deemed effective on July 1,
2021.

Dear City Council:My name is Nico Priskos,Managing Partner of InterNet Properties and I am
writing to you to voice my support for the proposed FY21-22 budget for the Salt Lake City Police
Department.We currently own and manage many downtown buildings and the increasing violent
crime is undermining our efforts and most importantly our tenants'efforts in running their
businesses,creating a safe and vibrant city and reactivating Salt Lake's economy.The vacant
buildings we currently own are being broken into by vagrants and squatters and causing major
issues when showing to potential tenants in the hopes of activating those buildings with great
local retail and office tenants.Downtown is the face of our city and state,if we allow it to
deteriorate and be rampant with crime then the entire city and state will suffer tremendously.
Please fund the police staffing and programs needed to deter crime and keep Salt Lake City safe.
6/16/20217:43 Nico Priskos Thank you for your consideration, Police Funding

First off,my apologies if this has already been decided upon;I searched in recaps but couldn't find
it.I'm writing regarding the Shared Housing proposal which would allow developers to build
housing that has either shared kitchens or shared bathrooms.This has been talked about as an
affordable housing initiative,but I have seen nothing to indicate that said shared housing would
actually be required to be affordable,nor anything defining what affordable means in this
context.I have a few concerns.First off,we are still in the midst of a pandemic,and likely not the
last in our lifetime.To even consider a shared housing proposal after the year we've had strikes
me as absurd.Second,even outside of pandemic times,shared housing poses a threat to oft
marginalized groups.When a person lives with roommates they have the ability to choose their
roommates and ensure that they feel safe and respected.In a shared housing situation,a person
does not likely have any say in whom they must share their kitchen or bathroom.A person should
be able to feel safe when at home.For many people of color,members of the LGBTQIA
community,members of religious minorities,and people with disabilities,home is the only place
they don't have to be hypervigilant.Placing people in situations where they must share their
kitchen or bathroom with people who may not respect their identity is dangerous.Third,for
anyone thinking"oh,but if this is an issue they can just choose to rent a traditional private unit",
this isn't so simple.I have seen nothing that would prevent developers from only building either
shared housing or luxury apartments and nothing in between.I understand that there may be a
market for people who want to save money by not paying for a kitchen that they may not use.

*Continued 2/2*However,this is not the majority of people.People who need affordable
housing often also need kitchens,kitchens in which they feel safe,because cooking at home is one
of the most common ways people save money.We already see how developers tend toward
building luxury apartments and only build affordable housing when required to do so.Should
developers be allowed to build affordable housing with shared kitchens or bathrooms,that is all
they will build unless required to do otherwise,because it allows them to cut corners.If we are to
allow shared housing at all,(which I'm not sure we should)this must AT LEAST come with a
requirement to build a certain number of affordable traditional private units for every shared
housing block.To do otherwise would only result in developers building either luxury apartments
or shared housing units with nothing in between that is accessible for the vast majority of tenants.
Kristen Crummett Please consider this compromise.Thank you,Kristen Crummett
Hello,I'm writing today to ask you to reject this outrageous budget proposal that continues to
prioritize SLCPD and policing over actual community safety.In comparing Salt Lake City to other
U.S.cities of similar size,SLC has 129%more officers per capita!!We don't need police that
continue to terrorize our houseless community members,especially as developers dominate SIC
housing with"luxury"condos that make it so unaffordable for us!Why does the police
department get the latest and greatest technology,used to terrorize people whose circumstances
could have been prevented,while social services get ignored?We don't need tiny homes,which
by the way,will not effectively address housing insecurity or chronic homelessness.We need
actual and just action from you in this budget vote.The community did your job for you,did ALL
this research for you,and it's despicable that you still believe addressing social and systemic
inequities through more policing is achievable...even AFTER Police Chief Mike Brown has said that
police are the most expensive and least effective solution.Do better and vote against this budget

Hi there,I am a Utah resident since the 80s.I remember the development of the plans for more
trails and realignment of existing trails that started years ago.I think folks that are not happy with
developments are just not accepting the reality of the new popularity of getting outdoors in the
Wasatch last decade-15 years.As a long time backcountry skier,one just has to accept the present
popularity of activities in the public spaces that were once very devoid of people and now a bit
social with multiple types of users.I support the uphill biking only trails and keeping downhill
biking away from hikers,it just makes sense.Change is here whether people want it or not,and
spreading us all out will help maintain more positive outdoor experiences with less conflict.I am
ardent supporter of Save Our Canyons and stopping as much commercial development in the
cottonwood canyons as is possible,but they and other groups are just late to the table on this
process that started years ago.These are trails for multiple users and we all need to adapt.Thank Foothills Trail System

I have been running,hiking,and biking the Foothill trails for over 20 years.I think the design and
implementation of the master plan is illogical and destructive.I feel the city/council bowed down
to the loudest group,mountain bikers,while generally ignoring the concerns of individuals who
travel on foot.There are several points that I would like to make:1.While I agree everyone should
be able to take advantage of the trials,trails should not be created or modified to fit every user.
For example Van Cott(and Wire as another example)is a steep mountain—from the shoreline it is
about 1000 ft gain over a mile.There is absolutely no need to create new mountain bike trial to
the top of Van Cott just so all levels of ability can get to the top.If you are not skilled enough to
use the current trials,go elsewhere and get better until you can.I for one am not a skilled enough
biker to get to the top of Van Cott,but I don't think there needs to be an'easy trail'constructed
just so I can get to the top.Why destroy many acres of habitat?I can give an analogy from the
rock climbing world.People create routes of varying difficulty using the natural features of the
rock.People have been known to'chip'routes using tools to make them easier.This is absolutely
frowned upon by the entire rock climbing community.It is only done by a few selfish individuals.
To me,chipping is the same as creating easier trails up a mountain where many trails already
exist.It should just not be done.2.There is a logical fallacy in creating downhill only bike trails on
public land.Yes the trails are getting busier,but bikes and foot traffic have coexisted for many
years.People need to be respectful of each other—this is life.I think that there is going to be a lot
more serious conflict with'user specific'trails.I for one will continue to use the trials I always
have used in the past(e.g.,the trail from Morris Meadows down to the City Creek gate)despite Foothills Trail System

*Continued 2/2*I can assure you that I will not be the only person who ignores these signs.This
will result in conflict.Another example.I will continue to run up/down the creek bed of Dry Creek
regardless if it's designated as downhill only trail.Again,users need to share the trial.Why
destroy habitat just to create a parallel trail just so bikes can travel fast downhill??If this is the
case I want exclusive foot only uphill trials.I'm a fast runner and pass bikes going uphill.This slows
me down.3.I've seen all the trails that you want to build.Some of these make no sense,e.g.,
Wire,Van Cott,Black Mtn,given the grade of the land.And why destroy many acres of
roadless/trailless habitat just to add a few extra miles of trail.A lot of the areas you propose new
trials through is known deer and elk habitat.Has this been considered?4.As I've said before,I've
used these trails in multiple capacities for over 20 years and I've rarely seen any sort of
maintenance occur beyond the random weed pulls,etc.Why not focus efforts on improving
existing trials?How much money is being set aside for maintenance of new AND existing trails?I
have seen no mention of this anywhere.I think the master plan needs to be completely revised to
Mick Jurynec consider the above concerns as well as additional environmental impact issues.

Dear decision makers,I am writing to express my concern regarding recent changes to the trail
system in the foothills above SLC.I took the survey already,but I did not feel I could adequately
express my concern through it.I spend a large portion of time running,hiking,and biking these
trails.The recent developments are problematic on many levels.My primary issue is the closure of
many some of my favorite trails.They are either being ripped up,fenced off,or designated bike-
only trails.The trail out of city creek that ultimately connects to the Bonneville Shoreline system is
now downhill bike only.This trail used to be a straight connection for runners or hikers coming up
from Memory Grove and was also used in the Wahsatch Steeplechase race every year.This race
has been around for 40 years!The new shared use trail is located down the road in the opposite
direction for someone coming up from Memory Grove.Flow and aesthetics of the trail systems
are important characteristics.The new foot traffic only trails above the avenues also don't align
well and suffer the same insult to aesthetics.I hope it is not too late to save the Dry Creek trail
from a similar fate.It is a crime to take these trails away from the public at large and give them to
a single user group(bikers).Any bike-only trails should be the new trails,not trails we have all
used regularly over the years.It also seems like the trail crews are more actively attempting to
close trails slated for passive closure with their horrible destructive trenching techniques.Please
do not let them close off the steep trails we trail runners have used for years to train on.
Specifically the trails going up Mt.Wire,Mt.Van Cott,and up to the ridge line above the avenues.
There is an obvious underlying goal of the current trail plan to close the steeps trails and cut an
excess of switchbacks to make the trails easier.I assume this is also to primarily benefit the biking

*Continued 2/2*However,the trail runners out there use these steep trails,a lot!I cannot
overstate how important these steep trails are to us,especially in the shoulder seasons where
there is too much snow higher in the mountains to allow for running.I'm also concerned about
the environmental damage and overall stability these trail"upgrades"may have.The foothills
right above the city have some of the most diverse wildlife in the state.I was appalled to hear no
environmental impact research was done in the trail planning process.It also seems unsustainable
to cut all of these switchbacks into a steep hillside and close off routes that follow ridges.These
new trails are going to be unusable due to muddy conditions for significant portions of the year.I
fully expect most of them to degrade quite quickly as they hasten the erosion process and will be
subjected to people cutting new side trails to bypass mud puddles.Long term sustainability does
not seem to have been considered by the trail designers.I suspect any environmental
consultation would have recommended against the large gashes the trail builders put into our old
trails in an attempt to keep us out.Please put a halt to any further trail development.I
understand the need to improve and add trails to this area,but it needs to be done in a more
inclusive manner.Not just as a way to benefit the recent surge in mountain bikers.I also bike
these trails,but I don't think what is being done is right.Don't take away our foot trails.Start
over.Consult environmental groups.Use trail builders with more experience designing and

I'm writing in regard to the new trail system—he finished as well as the proposed.I'm an avid
hiker and mountain biker.I use this trail system for both activities.While the Phase I trails weren't
perfect,I appreciate the fact that we're finally building purpose built trails.I know there are a lot
of people complaining,but the fact of the matter is our population is growing like crazy.Every
year our high school MTB teams turn out hundreds of new mountain bikers every year.I can
sympathize with people being resistant to change,but the fact of the matter is,our trails are only
going to get more crowded and we need more purpose built trails for safety's sake.The speed
delta between hikers and bikers is the highest on downhill trails.While I wish the new MTB trails
were a little steeper and faster,I appreciate the fact that hikers and bikers won't come into
conflict on the new trails.No,the new trail system isn't perfect,but it's progress.To all the hikers
that are complaining,as a fellow hiker,let me just remind everyone that the amount of hiking
trails to biking trails that you can find in this valley is at least 10:1.Bikes aren't going away so we
need to embrace change as something that's inevitable and help to create a safer more enjoyable

Lewis and by copy to the SLC City Council and Mayor Mendenhall,Thank you.Thank you for
putting new trails in the SLC foothills.These trails are desperately needed to address growing
demand,bottlenecks,a dangerous lack of signage,and they are relevant to the culture of SLC and
surrounding communities.I author this from the perspective of a mountain biker long envious of
the trail system that Draper City has developed and Park City has developed.SLC is sadly behind
the curve and tourist and locals are routed to Draper and Park City when perfect opportunities for
world class trails exist right here in SLC.Ignoring carbon footprint and air quality issues,there is a
SLC population that wants to ride local and has been asking for this development for many years.I
have participated in the original discussions,read the Tribune articles,and listened to Radio West.
I do not fully understand why this has become a hiker verse biker issue.My experience on the ad-
hoc trails today has been good and hiker/biker harmonious.I would like more dog owners to
actually remove their dog's poop rather than dot trails with stinky bags but overall there is much
more harmony than recent media coverage has sensationalized.There are some urgent concerns:
•Dry Creek is a major bottleneck up and down and needs direction,literally.Nobody is enjoying
this resource today as it requires so frequent interruption and concern for safety that at best it is
a necessary commute to higher open spaces.•Bobsled needs to be directional or at a bare-
minimum needs strong warning signs at every junction.I have had potentially disastrous
interactions with protesting hikers or unaware hikers plus dogs(from out of town)hiking up this

*Continued 2/2* I am puzzled why"hikers"have removed signage and continue to assert trail
access when severe personal safety to themselves and innocent downhill bikers are at stake.I
think this particular trail has been"owned"by the bikes for long enough to settle any contention.
The rest is crowd control and making the vast acreage available to more citizens,and more
citizens in a way that is managed rather than"burned in"by whoever wishes.The planning for the
trails felt open and thorough.I will also lose access to some historic ad-hoc trails I enjoyed,yet I
applaud the work and planning being done.I recognize that only a partial rollout has occurred and
this partial rollout has attracted traffic(both hike and bike)yet to be spread into trails not yet
built.More trails and trail access points will spread congestion of today.Trail"scars"will blend in
—I have not forgotten the scars from the Olympic Rings yet that hillside quickly healed in a few
seasons—don't let short-term issues dissuade.Everyone is an armchair quarterback.But ANY trail
management is a positive.I sense the hiking community,(represented primarily by upper avenues
"not-in-my-backyard"interests)are late to this improvement and becoming unnecessarily vocal
about a nonexistent rivalry to maintain a view or keep deep access to collective resources to
themselves.Change is hard but these trails are needed,wanted,and help to bring SLC in-line with
citizen culture,Draper City,and Park City.Do not let fictitious trumped-up rivalries at this late
hour derail what is a well-thought phased plan to manage a resource the citizens of SLC deserve.

Council and Mayor,I am writing this email to show my support for resuming the construction of
the trail system.I am a frequent mountain biker and hiker of the area.I love the trail system and
building more trails will spread out the congestion on the trails we currently have.Seeing the trail
builder out there last fall and this spring has been very encouraging.It shows that Salt Lake City
and the legislation cares for the outdoors and is supportive in investing in our trail system.
Building more trails brings more people outdoors and many more will get to enjoy the trail
systems we have right in our backyard.In addition,as more people travel to use these trails,the
more they will stop into local Salt Lake City restaurants and shops for a snack or meal either
before or after their hike/bike ride.Please resume the construction of the trails.There are more
people enjoying the outdoors than ever before and we need the trail system to support it.I have
not talked to anyone who mountain bikes or hikes in the area that disagrees with your master

Dear Austin and Chris,I heard on KCPW this morning that the RDA has given up on the Utah
Theater,and apparently this is old news from 2019...1 now see.This is unfortunate.Not everything
must be saved,but a browse through Seeing Salt Lake,Barnett's compilation of Shipler photos,
leads one to the thought that perhaps we've torn down more interesting architecture than
remains.I'll bet you have the same book on your shelves,Chris,and if you don't I will gift you my
copy.At one time or another it seemed like a good idea to tear down the Lion House,the Beehive
House,Hotel Utah,the ZCMI facade,and the City County Building.We're richer for their
preservation.We don't need another glass tower of luxury condos--are you kiddin'me?!They're
not"infill,"they're invasive species that kill city centers.What we need,and future generations
will cherish,is the funky Crossroads of the West town that's hanging on by a thread.We need our
Greek Town,our Japantown rebuilt,and city character cherished.We need to preserve not just
the architecture but,as importantly,the wetlands of small business--the streetscape gems like
The Green Ant,Ken Sanders Rare Books,the bistros and goofy shops,the cobblers,tailors,
watchmakers,and other repair folk that make the city livable and the sidewalk life lovable.Make
room for more.Connect them.Cultivate them.We don't need more dead blank blocks of federal
buildings and US West monoliths.Let the gaudy developers play Trump on the periphery;but
zone our downtown sidewalk frontage for the historic,the unique,the homegrown,and the little
guys;embrace pedestrians,cyclists,browsers,stroller pushers,and ice cream cone lickers;evict
cars and serve all with good of streetcars every few minutes.Help enhance our downtown by
making it the compelling destination it was and still can be.Rest assured that I respond without
fail to the City's urban development surveys via email.Good stuff!At his moment,though,I hope
you will pause with me to mourn another RDA fail and the loss of city character,and resolve to

Dear City Council,I am a Sandy resident who frequently visits the SLC Foothills trail system,mostly
to mountain bike but also to hike and trail run.Following the recent controversy,I am writing to
express my support for the Foothills Trail Master Plan.Having witnessed what a jewel the Corner
Canyon trail system has become it is so disappointing to see the backlash to new trail construction
in the foothills.Those opposed to the new foothills trails seem to think that the foothills are a
pristine environment when in actuality they were heavily impacted by former industrial uses and
are littered with old roads,mine pits,pipelines and powerlines—a few dozen acres of new trails
cannot possibly degrade them to any meaningful degree.Freshly-cut trails can look unsightly but
will blend right in with the landscape within just a few years.If anything is going to degrade the
foothills it is more time lost doing nothing while user numbers continue to swell.SLC is very,very
late to the starting gate on this and further delays wills only make the process more difficult and
expensive.The foothills need more purpose-built biking and hiking trails(both segregated and
multi-use)and if anything the current Master Plan is inadequate.Directional mountain bike trails
are critical to avoiding user conflicts,and advanced-to expert-level downhill trails need to exist or
users will continue to create their own.The"Terror Ridge"trail should be grandfathered into the
system for this reason,and trails such as Bobsled and Lost Lad should be robustly protected.
Draper recognized this early on and"rogue"trail building is minimal in Corner Canyon thanks to
trails such as Maple Hollow DH,Levitate,and Jacobs Ladder.In Park City,where trail construction
has focused on cross-country/uphill routes(e.g.Armstrong,9k)and intermediate downhill-only
trails(e.g.Mojave,Silver Queen),almost every trail that provides a challenging descent for skilled

RE: Folsom Trail and City Creek Daylighting Projects Dave Galvan,
Mestizo/Certified Real
Dear Mayor, Estate Services
(CRES
As a community and business organization representing the west side of Salt Lake IC,
City, we are delighted to hear that construction will soon commence on the Folsom Justin Bellevue, Grid
Trail project. This connection from Downtown to the Jordan River is a City BeerWorks
longstanding priority for our community and the River District Business Alliance.
We are eager to see the positive impact that this investment in public infrastructure
will bring. Lucy Cardenas,
Red Iguana
However, we do wish to voice concern with both the apparent scope of this initial Dru Steadman,
project phase and the limited community engagement that has taken place to date. Legacy Sales and
Public input gathered by the city has confirmed the community's priorities that the Marketing, Inc.
Folsom Trail includes lighting for safety, landscaping and decorative elements,
native plantings, investment in placemaking, thepotential da li htin of CityLarry Mullenax, State

Creek throughout this corridor. Regrettably, it is unclear to our organization, its
membership, and neighborhood stakeholders the extent to which these community Chris Parker,
priorities will be addressed by construction that will soon commence on city-owned Giv Group
property. Perhaps this reflects the involvement of other public organizations such Dennis Faris,
as UTA in the administration of the project. Still,we find it concerning that the Poplar Grove
design and scope of the project have not been vetted with us as a representative Community Council
neighborhood organization.

We respectfully request the opportunity to discuss the Folsom Corridor project Lake
with your team in more detail to understand better the scope of the first phase of ;-officio
this project and to engage with you to ensure that we have the opportunity to
provide input and influence the full realization of the great potential of the Folsom
Corridor.
We appreciate your time and energy in this matter and look forward to discussing
this important community development with you and your team.
Sincerely,
