MINUTES OF THE SALT LAKE CITY COUNCIL Tuesday,March 22,2022 19 1 | P a g e YOUTH STATE OF THE CITY REPORT YOUTHCITY GOVERNMENT’S REPORT TO MAYOR MENDENHALL, CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS AND THE SALT LAKE CITY COMMUNITY “AMPLIFYING ALL VOICES” APRIL 19, 2022 The Youth State of the City Report informs Mayor Mendenhall, City Council Members and others in the Salt Lake City community of the objectives and activities of YouthCity Government (YCG). YCG’s mission is to introduce young people to the political process through civic engagement and community service. Introduction Hi, my name is Diya Oommen, I live in Council District 4 and I am a tenth grader at West High School. It’s a pleasure to be speaking with you today. I’d like to thank my fellow YouthCity Government members, Representative Angela Romero, and the interns that helped facilitate this program: Samantha Tiburcio Escalante, and Juanita Escareno. This is my second year with YouthCity Government, and I’ve seen the program grow and shift as our world did around us as well. We tackled issues from education to social issues, with a specific focus on youth voices and our ability to further change. 2 | P a g e Today’s youth have a specific power that cannot be stifled. It’s a power to read right from wrong, to view the world as if it’s black and white, without the myriad of biases that affect the decisions made in the political sphere today. We see issues through a lens of different priorities. We’re not fond of the rules set in place by the past, and we see no issue with taking a stand against “the way things have been done”. Our generation gathers on the steps of the capitol to petition on behalf of education bills. We stage protests about the increasing impacts climate change is having, and we walk out of class to protest the ignorance behind bills like HB 11. Because our priority is the comfort of our peers, not the discomfort of adults. YouthCity Government has given us the opportunity to explore the impacts of local and state government with a focus on the topics that mean most to us. From organizing a youth summit about consent to educate our peers to meeting with experts from around the state to understand systemic racism. The more we realize that we have a voice, the more change is possible. Climate Justice Hi, my name is Cate Love, I am a Junior at East High School and I live in Council District 5. During the past year in YouthCity Government, there have been many times when I have been asked what issues are my priorities or which I am most passionate abou t. I never have to think long about the answer. To me, climate change is the biggest threat to our society today. My generation will suffer extreme weather conditions, including hotter temperatures, air pollution, and violent storms. These extreme conditi ons will make it harder to access food and 3 | P a g e water, will affect our immunity to disease, and will threaten our homes and create millions of climate refugees In Utah, we often frame the climate crisis around air quality. It is something tangible that we can see and at times even taste. 75% of Utahns lose a year or more off their life due to the air pollution. Climate change disproportionately affects minorities and communities of color. The most significant predictor of pollution exposure is race. The disparities continue making access to food and public transportation more challenging for our westside residents. We’ve seen a complete failure by our national leaders to take meaningful action. As a 17- year-old it often feels hopeless and scary. The only thing that gives me hope is the leadership local governments and the private sector can provide immediately. SLC has done a lot, including revising zoning codes to allow for more density. We know that creating housing closer to where we work is one of the best things we can do to reduce our carbon footprint. Salt Lake City has incentivized sustainable building practices and still could do more and we could do more to incentivize better water conservation at the residential and commercial level. We urge you to take these steps now. We don’t feel like there is time to wait. Salt Lake City has invested in public transit and initiatives like Mayor Mendenhall’s free fare months teach residents to use public transit and make it accessible to everyone. But we need to invest more in public transportation, making it so convenient, it is the best option to move around. Including greater frequency, and coverage of the entire city. We need to continue to invest in bike lanes. I just returned from Amsterdam where bikes had their own lane and took precedence over cars everywhere. We need to go even further with zoning practices along transit 4 | P a g e corridors allowing for even greater height of buildings. We urge you to invest in this public infrastructure now. Thank you for caring about these issues that threaten the hope and future of my generation. We know the solutions are not easy and the needed investment is large. In order to make meaningful change it will take courage and foresight. We know we will have to make personal and community sacrifices for my generation and for future generations. Fair Housing Hello, my name is Lydia May. I live in Council District 3 and I am a Junior at West High School. I’ve lived in Utah almost my whole life and my family has lived in Utah for almost eight generations. I have always loved Salt Lake City; when I was younger, my favorite place in the world was Main Street--not any building in particular, but the street and the people who walked it. Every day I wake up, see the mountains, and feel so lucky to call Salt Lake home. Salt Lake City is growing and I have watched it grow up with me. On corners, I remember being empty lots, there are now apartment buildings. I am excited to see Salt Lake City become more dynamic and to grow. I understand why so many people want to live here and make it home, so many people love the city as much as I do. There are also negative sides to growth. I have seen people unable to find housing end up on the streets, I have seen people priced out of their communities forced to move, or scrimp and save just to remain with their families in the city they love. With YouthCity Government, I was given an opportunity to volunteer at the City Council Swearing in ceremony. Hearing your stories and backgrounds was an amazing opportunity. 5 | P a g e Hearing your visions for a more sustainable, equitable, city gave me hope. Hearing your stories of fighting for people whose voices are underrepresented in our city excited me. Population growth offers an exciting opportunity for Salt Lake City to improve our economy, diversify experiences and make our community more dynamic but unless these benefits help all of us, especially those most marginalized in our community, the benefits will not outweigh the costs. I encourage you to keep in mind sustainability for our people and our environment while making your decisions on the council. New housing should include housing that is affordable for low-income members of our community, public transportation should attempt to serve everyone, and equity should be a requirement not an afterthought. I am excited to see how Salt Lake City evolves and changes. I am excited to see how the next generation of Salt Lake City’s citizens, my peers, can improve the city and help continue to make it more liveable for everyone. I am excited to see how this Council will set an example for development that is sustainable for the environment and the people who live here. Civic Engagement Good evening. I am Daffodil Buchert. I am a Senior at East High School and I live in Council District 4. I have participated in the YouthCity Government program for the past 2 years and it has been an amazing and illuminating experience. Though I have always been interested in the world around me and so have kept a casual eye on politics, YCG has helped me participate and understand what is going on around me in a more significant and productive way. Instead of 6 | P a g e a vague idea that affects me in detached ways, government has become personal to me as I have met with representatives, council members, and members of various organizations. As it has become more personal to me, government has also become more interesting and important to me. I closely followed the 2022 General Legislative Session this year, t alking about different bills, meeting with representatives about bills, and even sitting on the floor as those bills were debated. This experience has been invaluable to me in building connections to my community and its leaders as well as giving me an idea as to what I want to do for the rest of my life. I have been able to see the direct processes of the government, and I have also seen the direct effects that the government has on the communities around me. For instance, as the Utah legislature brought up bills such as HB234 and SB11 that pushed for “curriculum transparency” and would require curriculum to be on Canvas for parents to review and approve, I heard from teachers about their frustrations and concerns with those bills. I heard their first hand accounts of how they felt about those bills and how they would affect them. Through my experiences with YCG, I’ve realized how important and valuable it is to be civically engaged. Often I have felt that the youth in my communities have a lot of talents an d a lot of issues we want to address, and yet our efforts are not as impactful as we want them to be. My participation with the city government has given me a new perspective on how I can make an impact, and I feel more empowered to be a real proponent for change that I want to see. It is my hope that more young people can have similar experiences and come to more conclusions that leave us wanting and ready to create more change through civic acts and participation in the government. Thank you for this opportunity to speak to you today, and thank you for the work you have been doing to keep Salt Lake City a thriving community. 7 | P a g e Item E1 CITY COUNCIL OF SALT LAKE CITY 451 SOUTH STATE STREET, ROOM 304 P.O.

Page 1 of 3 SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH 84104 ERIN MENDENHALL MAYOR DEPARTMENT of PUBLIC LANDS OFFICE of the DIRECTOR CITY COUNCIL TRANSMITTAL Date Received: Lisa Shaffer, Chief Administrator Officer Date sent to Council: TO: Salt Lake City Council DATE: January 12, 2022 Dan Dugan, Chair FROM: Kristin Riker, Director, Public Lands Department SUBJECT: Adoption of Reimagine Nature – SLC Public Lands 20-Year Master Plan STAFF CONTACT: Kristin Riker Director, Salt Lake City Public Lands Kristin.Riker@slcgov.com COUNCIL SPONSOR: Not Applicable DOCUMENT TYPE: Master Plan RECOMMENDATION: Adoption of Master Plan BUDGET IMPACT: The Master Plan provides strategic direction, ‘transformative project’ priorities, policy recommendations and strategies for action to be implemented by the Department of Public Lands over the next 20 years. However, the scope, scale and form that implementation of these strategies take will be determined through development of individual projects and initiatives; the Master Plan itself does not have specific budgetary impacts. BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: From 2020 through 2021, Salt Lake City Public Lands has worked to develop a new Public Lands Master Plan, which has been given the name “Reimagine Nature.” The master plan will provide a guiding vision for the City’s four Public Lands Divisions (Parks, Trails & Natural Lands, Urban Forestry, and Golf) and will establish an inspirational framework to guide how Public Lands will grow and prioritize investments for the next 10-20 years. Reimagine Nature uses comprehensive, evidence-based analysis, coupled with community engagement, to address current challenges, improve our public lands system, and prioritize and identify transformative projects for Salt Lake City’s public lands. DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC LANDS 1965 WEST 500 SOUTH WWW.SLCGOV.COM TEL:801-972-7800 January 14, 2022 January 14, 2022 Page 2 of 3 Reimagine Nature proposes big ideas to transform and sustain quality outdoor spaces that are safe, welcoming and walkable and ensure people, wildlife and ecosystems benefit from fair investment of Salt Lake City resources over the next 20 years. Three foundational values provide the basis for Reimagine Nature and its recommendations: a culture of stewardship to protect wildlife, trees, mountains, lakes, rivers and scenic views; improving livability in SLC in the face of the impacts of climate change and population growth; and providing greater equity in the way the community has access to close-to-home, high-quality green spaces. Reimagine Nature is organized around five principal goals the Public Lands Department aims to prioritize over the next 20 years: (1) Environmental Health and Sustainability; (2) Accessible and Connected Green Spaces; (3) Active, Authentic and Inclusive Places; (4) A Commitment to Stewardship; and (5) Expanding our Public Lands. The goals of the plan are further supported by strategies, policies and tangible action steps to guide transformational change, as well as ten proposed ‘transformative projects’ to implement the vision of Reimagine Nature. PUBLIC PROCESS: Community engagement for the master plan process used a multi-pronged approach that included an online survey, focus groups, micro-engagement events and community partnerships to reach typically underrepresented groups. Using COVID-19 protocols, the city’s framework for equitable engagement best practices, and multiple types of tactics, the team connected with over 12,000 Salt Lake City community members, providing input during online focus groups, University of Utah student-led intercept interviews and micro-engagement events, and through an online survey. A detailed description of the engagement process, including a summary of who provided feedback, and what they told the city, can be found in the Engagement Summaries at www.ReimagineNatureSLC.com. In brief, the engagement process consists of three engagement windows, the first two of which are complete: Engagement Window 1: Building a Foundation of Understanding Engagement Window 1 was conducted from August through December of 2020. Results from this first round of engagement identified concepts and ideas that most resonated with the community to support Public Lands’ values of promoting equity, livability and sustainability. Engagement window one also gathered community ideas for Reimagine Nature goals and projects and measured community support for initial transformative projects identified from previous community feedback and research gathered in the 2019 Public Lands Needs Assessment. The Reimagine Nature framework, including refined goals and transformative projects, was developed from feedback received in Engagement Window 1. Engagement Window 2: Visioning Transformational Projects and Priority Actions Engagement Window 2 was held from March through May of 2021. Engagement Window 2 gathered feedback on the Reimagine Nature framework to verify that the plan was developing in the right direction and had community support. Engagement Window 2 served as a check point to identify any important information that may have been missing from Reimagine Nature. Engagement Window 3: Final Master Plan Adoption This engagement period will occur as the City Council takes up consideration of formally adopting Reimagine Nature as a city master plan for Public Lands, and is expected to occur during February and March of 2022. Engagement during this phase will be led primarily by City Council staff, with outreach support from Public Lands. Page 3 of 3 NEXT STEP: The City Council will lead the Master Plan adoption process for Reimagine Nature in the first months of 2022. The Reimagine Nature project team, including Public Lands staff and the lead consultant Design Workshop, are prepared to brief the City Council on Reimagine Nature and support public engagement during the adoption process as requested by the City Council. Following adoption of Reimagine Nature, Public Lands will work to organize its year-by-year actions and project priorities around the recommendations of Reimagine Nature. Public Lands is requesting support in the FY23 CIP process for development of a five-year strategic plan that will identify the specific projects, initiatives, activities, and organizational focus areas that will facilitate and accelerate plan implementation in the near-term.

Public Engagement Reports B. 2019 Needs Assessment CONTENTS ix REIMAGINE NATURE Letter from Mayor Erin Mendenhall Salt Lake City’s natural realm is a shared sanctuary for people, ecologies and wildlife - a legacy landscape shaped by Native Americans, pioneers, flora and fauna including 72 mammal species of the Wasatch Front, and nearly 200,000 city residents represented by 120 diverse spoken languages. While the mountains, plains, wetlands and Great Salt Lake of the valley inspire humankind and provide wildlife habitat, impacts from climate change, poor air quality, increasing population, historic drought and aging infrastructure threaten the city’s ability to protect nature. Throughout the city there are disparate levels of engagement in the outdoors, requiring attention to differing interests, needs, access, and investments. We must intentionally correct for historic racism and classism and providing people access to opportunities across the city so as not to inherently perpetuate disparities. The state of the city’s extraordinary public lands is at a crossroads and all these factors create a need for a bold and transformational plan to guide us. The first citywide public lands master plan in 29 years, Reimagine Nature delivers a vision for the next 20 years and is informed by over 12,000 community members who shared hopes and dreams for play, civic pride, nature, outdoor fitness, greening, and more in the city. The public process elevated conversations of transitioning Public Lands from a Division to a City Department that would allow for a more robust planning arm focused on projects and ecological services. Salt Lake City’s Public Lands Department will now include two collaborative groups to support the planning and operations of the four divisions of parks, trails and natural lands, golf and urban forestry. This move also supports the four objectives of my 2021 Plan: Recharge, Reset, Rebound in keeping pace with the city’s growth, leading environmental stewardship, listening equitably to our communities and supporting employee well-being. Coinciding with the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, public engagement required adaptation, creativity, and support from the many community partners and advocates that we thank for their immeasurable contributions as ambassadors. Through this health crisis we witnessed increased visitation to public lands, learning that parks were a refuge to many – a community asset for resilience and essential service. Reimagine Nature reflects core community values for public lands: equity, stewardship and livability. Conversations around equity in public lands reflect nationwide and neighborhood trends to provide additional resources to public spaces and programs serving low and middle-income households who often struggle to access quality natural experiences as part of their daily lives. Calls for stewardship of public lands came across emphatically with desires to take care of what we have and protect invaluable pieces of our natural community. Concerns for the livability of Salt Lake City are also top of mind in the midst of many environmental and climate challenges, rising cost of living, urgent social issues of homelessness and keeping up with population growth. With dedication, passion, and foresight to conserve Salt Lake City’s greatest natural asset, it is our hope that this document directs us in responsibly managing the public’s lands and waters in ways that honor community aspirations and support thriving plants and wildlife. The next page provides a summary snapshot of the plan’s key elements. Sincerely, Mayor Erin Mendenhall Natural lands along the Jordan River provide essential riparian habitat.

LOOKING FORWARD TO A GREENER HORIZON We have a heightened awareness that complex factors such as ecological systems, historical influence, and social equity impact planning for Salt Lake City’s Public Lands. Reimagine Nature is an opportunity to redefine approaches for the City’s parks, trails, golf courses and natural lands as environmental and social assets. It sets forth a vision for Public Lands to champion initiatives that improve air quality, address public health disparities, make a more resilient future in the face of climate change and provide green space to balance rapid urban development. Chapter One: Introduction 4 Figure 1: Planning Process Timeline PLAN HORiZON 2020-2040 Salt Lake City’s 88 parks, 86,500 urban forest trees, six golf courses and thousands of acres of natural landscapes are the culmination of more than a century of committed care and preservation. As Salt Lake City welcomes another 30,000 residents over the next 20 years (by 2040) and as the diversity and health of our city’s nature is threatened by the impacts of climate change, a plan to grow and protect public lands and the quality of life those natural landscapes afford to all living things is needed. This plan provides a vision to aspire to for the next two decades and outlines specific direction for near-term actions. PLANNiNG PROCESS Reimagine Nature is one component of a larger planning effort to direct the future of SLC Public Lands. The planning process includes the 2019 Needs Assessment,1 an inventory of the Public Lands system; Reimagine Nature, which outlines goals and strategies; and will be completed with detailed Public Lands 5-Year Strategic Plans, a series of 5-year 1 https://www.slcdocs.com/parks/SLCPLNeedsAssessment.pdf IT’S IN OUR NATURE working plans updated annually by Public Lands Staff. A comprehensive community engagement process informed every step of the plan development, including a statistically valid resident survey and other outreach to inform the 2019 Needs Assessment.2 Community member, technical expert, partner staff and stakeholder input guided the Reimagine Nature plan content through the course of the planning process.

The Great Salt Lake remains the last remnant of Lake Bonneville in the Intermountain West and frames the northwest part of the city. The Wasatch Mountains stand sentinel to the east and north and the Oquirrh Mountains (pronounced “oaker”) to the west. This geologic history gives shape and form to the present-day landscapes of the city’s Great Basin, marshlands, mudflats, ancient lakebed benches, drainages and cottonwood galleries, foothills, narrow canyons and mountain peaks, some of which rise 6,000 feet from the basin floor. THE HiSTORY OF PEOPLE AND PLACE Five tribes including the Shoshone, Piute, Ute, Goshute and Navajo inhabited the territory that later became Utah. The lands where desert meets lake and surrounding wetlands adjacent to Salt Lake City hosted American Indian habitation beginning 10,000 years ago through European settlement. Explorers, Mormon settlers, farmers and miners heading to the California gold rush traveled to present day Salt Lake City in the Salt Lake City’s natural lands, urban forest, city parks and golf landscapes reflect the scenic beauty of the Great Salt Lake ecosystem and are the culmination of more than a century of preservation and cultivation since the city’s founding in 1847 . PAS T & PRESENT SLC PUBLiC LANDS DEPARTMENT MiSSiON & viSiON MISSION: What We Do We enhance the livability of the urban environment through a diverse network of natural open spaces, recreational opportunities, park facilities, city golf landscapes, the city cemetery and the urban forest to ensure that the resources under our management are carefully stewarded for future generations. VISION: What We Aspire to Achieve A vibrant system of connected public landscapes and living infrastructure that enhances the community’s identity, sense of place and quality of life. mid-1800s. Settlers laid out tree- lined city streets in a Jeffersonian- grid originating on the southeast corner of Temple Square and the city’s earliest parks, including the 10-acre, square-shaped Pioneer Park, follow this form. The city acquired additional parks and natural areas in the surrounding foothills and along creeks and rivers - within neighborhoods and as larger regional and community destination parks. The natural and cultural histories of this place are embedded in the parks, trails, urban forest, natural areas and bucolic golf landscapes which remain today and enhance the quality of life for current-day residents. Public Lands are integral and essential to life in Salt Lake City. Fishing at Fairmont Pond. Walking, jogging and hiking are top activities in areas managed by the Trails and Natural Lands Division such as the Fife Wetland Preserve and the 6,423-acres of Foothills Natural Area, canyons and foothills bordering the northern and eastern limits of SLC. More than 70 miles of off-street trails connect residents to parks and natural lands. The urban forest’s street trees are one of the most accessible forms of nature, extending into every neighborhood and business district in the city, resulting in a literal canopy of shade, beauty, socioeconomic, environment and health benefits. Most residents live within a half mile or 10-minute walk to a local park, and that’s important to 97% of people polled. 75% of residents who live on the east side visit parks at least once a month, while 60% of west-siders visit parks once a month. Established in 1881 to be SLC’s “Central Park,” historic Liberty Park is the most visited park in the system. SLC Public Lands six municipal golf courses are the newest addition to the public lands management. These spaces create opportunities for the community to exercise in nature, while also providing critical open space within the City that helps clean the air and reduce urban temperatures and provides shelter for urban wildlife.

Chapter One: Introduction 12 CHALLENGES COMPLEx iSSUES Today Salt Lake City’s urban nature faces many challenges: rapid degradation to ecological systems exacerbated by climate change, lingering social inequities from historic zoning and planning decisions, unhealthy environmental factors like poor air quality fueled by expanding population, competing priorities for limited city funding, rapid development downtown and the urgent need to redefine green space. The Reimagine Nature master plan vision is shaped by an understanding of the environmental and social challenges facing public lands. Salt Lake City’s Public Lands are increasingly under pressure from the impacts of climate change including record heat, volatile weather, drought and some of the worst air quality in the nation. The environmental pressures impact nature today and in the future. A 2019 climate study predicts Salt Lake City’s summers could feel more like Las Vegas by 2050, a change that would drastically impact the city’s plants and wildlife.3 The city has been experiencing an extreme drought of historic proportion, prompting a state of emergency called in 2020 by Utah’s governor and creating 3 Crowther Lab, https://journals.plos.org/ plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0217592 Air pollution inversion over the Salt Lake Valley. a need for solutions that support nature in the absence of water resources. The September 2020 wind storm (derecho) blew down 1,300 trees in the city and over a dozen parks shut down temporarily for clean-up activities. Many of these mature trees reflect decades of care and provided valued shade. Since their earliest establishment more than a century ago, the City’s parks, trails, and public green space have been promoted as places of refuge from the nuisances of city life with goals of addressing a host of social woes. However, encampments of unhoused people within public properties and their removal have often brought in to question this premise. Throughout this process the most common topic raised was concern and a spectrum of approaches suggested for public lands and people experiencing homelessness. It is clear that housing dispersal of unhoused individuals throughout the city has caused more people to feel discomfort, witness challenges with social interactions and/or environmental degradation of spaces people are occupying for their survival. The graphic below is a past public relations informational campaign that was used to help build comfort with interactions and expresses that parks cannot solve for homelessness alone, but must take a compassionate approach for collective response. SALT LAKE CiTY GROWTH SLC is home to over 196,000 people representing a broad range of socioeconomic backgrounds and cultural heritages that include over 80 spoken languages. The 2019 Needs Assessment estimates that this “population Many of the city’s mature shade trees were lost in the 2020 wind storm.Figure 4: 2018 SLC Parks and Homelessness Public Relations Campaign. Chapter One: Introduction 14 light-yellow areas in Figure 5 below) or areas where residents are not within a half-mile walk of a park or green space particularly in the Central Community, Sugar House and East Bench planning communities. The questions of who can walk to public lands, who can afford to travel to public lands, who has the leisure time to enjoy public lands and what languages and social cues welcome different groups to public lands have also been asked during the 2019 Needs Assessment and the Reimagine Nature community process. Nationally, best practices encourage reflecting on these be required to meet future park needs at the same level of service as today. However, Utah is growing faster than projections made during the Needs Assessment and it is likely that the city will need to be innovative and do even more than previously reported to meet increasing demand. PUBLiC LANDS SERviCE GAPS The 2019 Needs Assessment analyzed the public’s needs and desires for public lands and performed different types of analysis mappings to understand where gaps may exist. The assessment found gaps (visible doubles during the daytime, due to individuals coming into the city to work.”4 The City’s parks and surrounding natural areas create a desirable quality of life drawing a projected future population growth of an additional 30,000 people moving to Salt Lake City by 2040. Additionally, Salt Lake City’s population is aging and becoming more diverse. The 2019 Needs Assessment found that the majority of city residents live within a half mile of a park, natural land or trail and parks are well distributed. The study also noted that 94 acres of new park land will 4 2019 SLC Public Lands Needs Assessment !A !A !A !A!A !T !T !T !A !A !A!A !A !A!A !A!T !A !A !A !A !T !A !A !T !A!A!A !T!T !T!A !T !T!A !A!A !A !T !A !A !A !A !A !A !A !A !A !T HogleZoo TempleSquare UniversityofUtah International Center Salt LakeInternationalAirport City Creek Canyon Red ButteCanyonSouth Temple St 1700 S 700 E1700 EF o o t h i l l D r Par l e y ' s W a y 2100 SBangerter Hwy1700 S1700 S5600 W7200 WNorth Temple St 1200 WBe c k S t 600 N 500 S California Ave 2100 SRedwood Rd700 WWest Temple St1300 E11th Ave 500 S Sunnyside Dr 1300 S State StHigh land Dr2100 E§¨¦80 §¨¦15 §¨¦15 §¨¦80 §¨¦80 §¨¦215 Salt LakeRegionalAthleticComplex LibrarySquare LibertyPark Sugar HousePark Jordan Park/Peace Gardens RiversidePark RosewoodPark ConstitutionPark SunnysidePark MemoryGrove Park CityCemetery Glendale Park PioneerPark 11th AvenuePark Donner TrailPark Ensign PeakOpen Space H Rock Parley's HistoricNature Park WestpointePark Modelport SherwoodPark ´0 21Miles Parleys Canyon/Mountain Dell Golf Course Area Map !T Trailhead !A Trail Access Existing Multipurpose Trail Proposed Multipurpose Trail Existing Hiking/Mountain Biking Trail Proposed Hiking/Mountain Biking Trail 1/2 Mile Walk Distance Along Existing Trails & Streets Zoning: Residential Uses AllowedExisting Hiking Only Trail Developed Parks Special Use Parks Natural Lands Cemetery Public Golf Courses County Parks City Staff caring for gardens along the S-Line. types of questions to assess the equitable access of urban nature to different communities. And if there are gaps, to offer master plan strategies that can help those areas of the city that need additional resources most. OPERATiONS & MAiNTENANCE Concurrently during the Reimagine Nature community outreach, a national consultant team, ETM and Associates, analyzed Public Lands level of staffing, resources and responsibilities. As Public Lands’ responsibilities have expanded over time, a youthful, diverse and energetic staff has tackled increased responsibilities. Compared to other North American benchmark cities, Public Lands is relatively understaffed, particularly in the area of long-term management of environmental assets. For example, Urban Forestry staff is stretched at one staff member protecting an average of 10,000 trees. The public may not be highly aware of this shortfall as a 2021 citizen survey shows “parks” was one of the highest rated city services, after fire/paramedics, library, garbage pickup, and airport. However, 63% of Public Lands assets have been evaluated to be in poor or fair condition. Throughout the master plan development, it became clear that elevating Public Lands from a division to a City department would allow for growth in capacity to take better care of the city’s urban nature while also tackling vital adaptations needed to address the impacts of climate change and social issues. Additional evidence for supporting investment in current parks, trails and open spaces can be seen in the high rankings in the recent 2021 Salt Lake City Resident Survey where participants ranked investment in Public Lands as the number four priority for the city, just under investment in affordable housing, supporting local businesses and expanding sustainability.

The National Parks and Recreation Association (NRPA) defines a master plan as “a system-wide…comprehensive document and process that include an internal assessment, community engagement, resources and data collection, and development of an implementation plan.”5 In 2019, Public Lands commenced data collection and analysis, research on international best practices and consultation with the public, staff, partners, stakeholders and experts. The result of this work is presented in three parts listed below. 5 https://www.nrpa.org/publications-research/best-practice-resources/creating-equity-based-system-master-plans/ “IT IS THE SET OF THE SAILS, NOT THE DIRECTION OF THE WIND THAT DETERMINES WHICH WAY WE WILL GO”. - jim rohn Reimagine Nature: Public Lands Master Plan sits within a larger planning context of policies and city initiatives. The following list indicates the purpose of these previous plans and their influence on the Public Lands Master Plan and value alignment. Chapter One: Introduction 18 Snapshot SALT LAKE CITY PUBLIC LANDS SNAPSHOT The following snapshot captures factors that currently influence the equity, livability and sustainability of Salt Lake City and its Public Lands. It also takes stock of the current Public Lands system including an inventory of urban forest trees, natural areas, trails, parks and city golf courses. By 2050 our temps could rise10° leading to poorer air quality . EQUITY livability STEWARDSHIP $85,000 per year to clean up nuisance graffiti . are anticipated to move to SLC by 2040 which will require an additional park space roughly equivalent to Liberty Park.

The master plan includes community engagement windows . The 2019 Needs Assessment will help identify priority areas . Accessibility gaps and trail gaps still exist in all SLC planning areas, and east-west connections across the city are limited . Salt Lake City’s proposed trails, including expansion of the 9-line Trail, will add another 129 .4 miles to the system, the equivalent of adding another Jordan River Parkway (the longest paved urban trail in the US) . SLC public lands have opportunity to increase biodiversity by adding more natural habitat like recent efforts at Fairmont Park Pond and the Fife Wetland Preserve . 86% Income barriers can limit the amount of leisure time and transportation options people have to enjoy public lands . of SLC population is made up of people who identify themselves as Native American, African American, Hispanic, Latinx, Asian or Pacific Islander . 3 200 community groups have been invited to participate in this process . 30,000+ of public lands assets are in fair to poor condition . of SLC residents who responded to the 2019 Needs Assessment prioritize investments to improve existing parks, trails and natural areas . 35% Nearly 17% of the population is projected to be 65 or older by 2045 . City Golf courses maintain over 1,000 acres of open space . As the city grows, how can golf grow as a community partner, serving more of the city population?

Chapter One: Introduction 20 Chapter Two: introduction COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT SUMMARY The Reimagine Nature master plan process reached over 12,000 members of the community through digital and socially distanced tactics (see figure 6 below). Engagement was conducted in two periods: Window #1, (2020) and Window #2 (2021). Now more than ever, public lands contribute to the community’s personal health, identity and civic ideals. The plan is a reflection of the community’s vision for a bright future of public lands. HOW WE LiSTENED The figure below shows one metric of how engagement was evaluated for how it was inclusive of representative demographic populations that reflect the city’s current diversity. More information about the participation demographics and engagement methods can be found in the document appendix. Partnerships with the University of Utah College of City and Metropolitan Planning and on-the-ground, “intercept survey” efforts of Salt Lake City staff members and volunteers supplemented digital tactics to target engagement of typically underrepresented areas or populations of the city.

Figure 6: Reimagine Nature Survey Demographics. Chapter One: Introduction 22 COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT SUMMARY TARGETED COMMUNiTY ENGAGEMENT In-person surveying occurred in 80 locations but was focused in Westside and Northwest neighborhoods. These communities are the most ethnically diverse areas of the city and are cut off from downtown by railroads and highways. Compared to their neighbors to the east, residents in these neighborhoods are in “higher need” according to the 2019 SLC Public Lands Needs Assessment. Parks in westside communities also have lower rates of visitation compared to parks in Salt Lake City’s east side, signaling a need to hear community-led solutions from westside neighborhoods. The multi-level approach captured a more diverse sample of the community. Initial survey results led to preliminary plan ideas that were shared in a series of focus groups with representative community stakeholders to refine master plan direction. The focus groups cultivated stronger relationships resulting in new collaborations and solutions. ENGAGEMENT WINDOW #1 STUDENT & STAFF OUTREACH LOCATIONS ENGAGEMENT WINDOW #2 STUDENT OUTREACH LOCATIONS ENGAGEMENT WINDOW #2 STAFF OUTREACH LOCATIONS – Public Lands Master Plan Page 5 Students engaged the community at 38 different public space locations. This outreach involved parks, libraries, open spaces, trails, and other areas. Students and staff distributed a total of 467 flyers and 593 postcards. Figure 2 is a map of the locations that were visited by students and staff. Figure 2: Staff & Paired Outreach Locations to Parks and Other Areas Figure 8: Engagmenet locations throughout SLC. COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT SUMMARY Chapter One: Introduction 24 WHAT WE HEARD The focus of engagement was to gather community feedback and input on the Master Plan framework, including refined goals and transformative projects ideas. It also served as a check point with the community and stakeholders to verify that the Master Plan was developing in the right direction, had community support, and provided an opportunity to contribute any important ideas that may be missing from the Master Plan. The following pages show a selection of some of the responses received from the community through the online survey, focus groups and micro-engagement events. The document appendix includes detailed reports on the public engagement windows and their findings for more information. Community members of all ages provide their thoughts during a student intercept survey event. Reach out and listen. Specific place-based responses for acts of restoration, maintenance, and development. Recruit stewards, rangers/ambassadors, and volunteers from minority communities near the public lands. STEWARDSHiP iDEAS I would volunteer to clean up parks, paint bathrooms, help with trash and waste disposal I would also donate money to groups that contribute to stewardship of the parks. Work with school districts on biodiversity education and curriculum including hands on projects to give our youngest citizenry a sense of ownership. Encourage non-motorized visitation. Supply and timely service waste receptacles. Landscape with broad ecological goals, e.g. not just trees but flower and open areas that support birds and bees. More trails closer to home so I and my neighbors don’t have to drive to other places (Millcreek, Draper, Herriman, etc.) for trail running and riding opportunities. LivABiLiTY iDEAS Source: 2020 Community Survey 1 Substantially improve tree cover in neighborhoods, parks and natural areas by 50% to compensate for human impacts.” Add neighborhood opportunities to spend time in water. Salt Lake City is getting hotter summers and one of the key missing public land opportunities for residents is access to water for recreational opportunities. Expand community gardens. EQUiTY iDEAS Source: 2020 Community Survey 1 Have signs displayed in 2-3 languages. Increased accessibility for all members of society, along with native fauna that calls the space home. So more bike paths, ramps for wheelchairs, inclusive non-gendered bathrooms. For the wild life, creating more pockets of space not meant for human traffic or usage, and planting more native plants essential to their natural habitats.

These questions were designed to gain insight into community priorities for each project, highlighting which projects should happen right away and which projects should be prioritized because they are the most impactful and provide value. When comparing urgency versus importance, two projects stood out significantly. Put environment first was ranked the highest by survey respondents in both categories, with 73% ranking it as very important 72% ranking it as very urgent. The next highest-ranking project was grow our urban forest, with 71% ranking it as very important and 68% ranking it as very urgent.

CHAPTER Public Lands maintains some green spaces within public roadways and transit stops. 32 2 VISION FRAMEWORK FOR NATURE REIMAGINE NATURE MASTER PLAN VISION SLC Public Lands Master Plan vision proposes big ideas to transform and sustain quality outdoor spaces that are welcoming, safe, and walkable; ensuring people, wildlife and ecosystems benefit from fair investment of Salt Lake City resources over the next 20 years. LIVABILITY EQUITYSTEWARDSHIP Chapter Two: Framework 34 WHAT VALUES GUIDE THE PLAN? The VALUES that drive the way the Public Lands Department achieves plan goals is through a work ethic: »that grows a culture of STEWARDSHIP to protect wildlife, trees, mountains, lakes, rivers and scenic views; »that improves LIVABILITY in SLC in the face of impacts of climate change and population growth; and »that provides greater EQUITY in the way the community has access to close-to-home, high- quality green spaces. The plan values are integrated into each goal and transformative project. STEWARDSHIP, or taking care of what we have, is investing in the renewal of our existing city parks, urban forest, natural areas and trails. Stewardship inspires us to preserve habitat so plants and wildlife can thrive and be resilient to impacts of climate change like rising temperatures. Potential actions could be planting tree groves in city golf courses or adding butterfly gardens to city parks. Figure 13: Value Lenses Relationship to Goals Diagram. LIVABILITY, or maintaining SLC’s quality of outdoor life, inspires us to provide more services to residents as the city grows. We can collectively identify opportunities to use our city’s parks, golf courses, school yards, natural areas and streetscapes to increase public access to nature, trails, sports fields, and public gathering places. EQUITY, or including diverse voices in the master plan process and priorities, aligns as a citywide value emerging from the roundtable discussion on “Geographic Equity, Inclusion, PLANVALUES: & Belonging.” We are committed to listening to the realities and perceptions of access to public lands from all sides of Salt Lake City to help guide next steps for a more equitable future.

VISION STATEMENT: Reimagine Nature SLC Public Lands Master Plan vision proposes big ideas to transform and sustain quality outdoor spaces that are welcoming, safe, and walkable; ensuring people, wildlife and ecosystems benefit from fair investment of Salt Lake City resources over the next 20 years. 36 GOALS GOAL STATEMENT: Public Lands will continue to be on the forefront of environmentalism, employing sustainable operations practices such as conserving water resources for greater resilience to climate change and making significant contributions to an equitable and healthier natural environment such as increasing tree cover that improves regional air quality and provides bird habitat. SUSTAIN: ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH AND SUSTAINABILITY TOP STRATEGIES: S1 - Position Public Lands to increase the ambition of Salt Lake City’s climate resiliency goals. S2 - Position Public Lands as the City leader for driving improvements in human and ecosystem health. PROGRESS METRICS: S1 - Metric: Percent of occupied tree planting sites. Goal: 90% occupied by 2030. S1 - Metric: Percent of urban forest trees pruned annually. Goal: 10% of trees pruned annually by 2030. S2 - Metric: Species biodiversity by site. Goal: Demonstrate a statistically- significant increase (>0) in species biodiversity on all Public Lands (except mini parks and special use parks) by 2030. Reimagine Nature Master Plan has five main GOALS of what the Public Lands Department is aiming to achieve over the next 10-20 years: 1. Sustain: Environmental Health and Sustainability 2. Connect: Accessible and Connected Green Spaces 3. Welcome: Active, Authentic and Inclusive Places 4. Protect: A Commitment to Stewardship 5. Grow: Expand our Public Lands System Mural in the Granary District. People enjoying the spring water pond at Liberty Park. Chapter Two: Framework 38 GOAL STATEMENT: Well-maintained, welcoming trails, streets, public transportation, and sidewalks are interconnected as the city’s circulatory system. This system connects pedestrians, cyclists, and riders to the city’s green spaces and outstanding natural landscapes of Salt Lake City’s Public Lands: mountains, foothills, valley, wetlands, and lakes. The City will continue to enhance these systems and increase connectors to include everyday destinations ranging from the daycare, library, grocery store, pharmacy and museum. This adds convenient connections to walk or ride along a greenway, adding steps to pedometers and enriching health and wellbeing. GOAL STATEMENT: Ideal parks are actively used by the community, inclusive for all ages, abilities and cultures and strive to be authentic, or reflective of the neighborhood and community’s culture. Parks departments across the country struggle with balancing limited resources and many priorities with achieving these ideals. For cities, there is also a growing awareness of how green space has historically been provided and maintained for different neighborhoods. Cities are collecting data and stories to document the historic inequities in the quantity and quality of green space (e.g., nationwide studies have found that lower income urban areas typically correlate with less tree canopy, less accessible green spaces and lower quality amenities). The Public Lands Department, in alignment with the mayor’s 2021 citywide vision, is committed to looking at top- down and bottom-up community- driven solutions to welcoming more people. The department will strive to reflect the diverse culture and history of Salt Lake City neighborhoods in the tapestry of parks and open spaces. WELCOME: ACTIVE, AUTHENTIC AND INCLUSIVE PLACES CONNECT: ACCESSIBLE AND CONNECTED GREEN SPACES TOP STRATEGIES: C1 - Connect people to information about their park system. C2 - Increase the ease of access to public lands, making it easier to travel to, between and within them. TOP STRATEGIES: W1 - Design and program Neighborhood Parks to highlight the unique natural, historical, cultural and economic identify of the surrounding area and community in which they are located. W2 - Support active programming that brings people out to their parks for art, events, programs, recreation and community. This programming should be diverse and adapted to represent the community culture and encourage creation of social connections. PROGRESS METRICS: C1 - Metric: Percent increase in social media followers across Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Goal: 500% increase from 2021 baseline by 2030. C1 - Metric: Percent increase in total email addresses in Constant Contact (or equivalent) platform. Goal: 500% increase from 2021 baseline by 2030.

Goal: Increase percent of residents who visit parks or natural lands at least weekly by 2% per year, with at least 60% of residents visiting a park or natural land at least weekly by 2030. of parks, natural areas and golf courses by 2030. C2 - Metric: Percent of parks that have received an accessibility audit*. *identifies accessibility barriers, a means to remove the barrier, and a transition plan for budgeting, planning and implementing the barrier removal. Goal: 90% of SLC parks have received an accessibility audit by 2030. C2 - Metric: Percent of parks that have fully implemented the removal of accessibility barriers identified in an accessibility audit. Goal: 50% of SLC Regional, Community, Neighborhood, Special Event and Mini Parks have fully implemented the removal of identified accessibility barriers by 2040. C2 Metric: Percent of residents within ¼ mile of a park, multi-use trail or natural land. Goal: 95% of SLC Residents live within ¼ mile of a park, multi-use trail or natural land by 2040. Chapter Two: Framework 40 GOAL STATEMENT: Salt Lake City’s urban population is growing. The Public Lands Department will balance providing safe green spaces for the public while also protecting iconic, irreplaceable natural resources that keep the city wild. Stewardship demands are profound: diminishing environmental health, increasing need for visitor management, increasing maintenance demands, increasing numbers of unhoused using open space as refuge, and increasing costs to provide infrastructure and services to a growing city. In the Public Lands’ domain, the Department will lead the stewardship and care of urban green spaces. The Department will seek out opportunities to partner with advocacy groups and schools to educate on how the public can be stewards of the land and learn its history. GOAL STATEMENT: As the Salt Lake City population increases, our public lands receive more visitation and work harder to reduce negative impacts of more “footprints” on our landscapes and public amenities with increased maintenance and renewal. Providing the amount of public properties in relation to population growth needs is increasingly challenging in a city reaching maximum expansion build-out with limited opportunities to aquire large natural areas or small parks in areas of dense development with high land prices. City departments and partners work together to provide green space and recreation opportunities in our rapidly re-developing downtown. We innovate and make smart use of the public properties we have, being strategic with our resources and creating funding sources to expand our urban forest, trails, park system, and natural areas. GROW: EXPAND OUR PUBLIC LANDS SYSTEM PROTECT: A COMMITMENT TO STEWARDSHIP TOP STRATEGIES: P1 - Ensure iconic, irreplicable assets are not lost or rendered less valuable due to neglect, destruction or development. P2 - Leverage the power of the community to help steward SLC’s Public Lands. TOP STRATEGIES: G1 - Be proactive and strategic about growth of the Public Lands System. G2 - Overcome difficult obstacles to growth needs through creativity and through leveraging external assets and resources. PROGRESS METRIC: P1 - Metric: Acres per funded grounds maintenance employee full time equival (FTE) for parks by park type. Goal: No more than 15 acres per funded grounds maintenance FTE for Regional Parks, Special Event Parks, and Urban Natural Areas, and no more than 5 acres per funded grounds maintenance FTE for Neighborhood Parks and Mini Parks, by 2030. P1 - Metric: Park and natural land acres acquired. Goal: Acquire at least 94 acres of parkland, 60 acres of urban natural lands, and 150 acres of non-urban natural lands, by 2040, to maintain 2017 level of service. P2 - Metric: Number of volunteers engaged & total number of volunteer person-hours annually Goal: Increase number of volunteers engaged & total number of volunteer person hours by 10% annually, and by 250% by 2030. PROGRESS METRIC: G1 - Metric: Number of parks with annual visitation estimates based on data from automated visitation counters and/or point-in-time counts. Goal: Annual visitation estimates for 75 parks by 2030. G1 - Metric: Number of respondents to annual public opinion survey for Public Lands. Goal: Three-year running average is equal to or greater than 2,000 respondents by 2030. G2 - Metric: Number of active, formal partner organizations* *Organizations with active partnerships agreements (approved by attorneys office & fully executed). Goal: Thirty formal partnership agreements are active by 2030. Chapter Two: Framework 42 TRANSFORMATIVE PROJECTS Ten Transformative Projects were identified through the engagement process to achieve plan goals and heighten Public Lands’ impact on the city’s livability, equity, and stewardship. The projects are transformative as they will require great effort and/or and shift in Public Lands operations to achieve. The Transformative Projects are organized by the goals and chapters they are most emblematic of, however each project supports multiple plan goals. Figure 14: Ten transformative projects for Reimagine Nature. PUT ENVIRONMENT FIRST Cultivate more biological diversity and conservation in city parks, urban forests, city golf lands and natural areas.

The urban forest is aging, requiring regeneration to keep SLC shaded and cool while providing critical habitat. CHAPTER 44 SUSTAIN: ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH & SUSTAINABILITY “ENCOURAGE NON-MOTORIZED VISITATION TO REDUCE CARBON EMISSIONS.” Beautiful parks don’t have to be the color green. The future will be less water. Xeriscape can be beautiful and ecologically sound.” “LANDSCAPE WITH ECOLOGICAL GOALS THAT SUPPORT BIRDS AND BEES.” -comments from the 2021 public survey Chapter Three: Sustain 46 SUSTAIN:ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH & SUSTAINABILITY “In nature nothing exists alone.”- Rachel Carson, Silent Spring ENVIRONMENTAL CHALLENGES FACING SLC’S PUBLIC LANDS The idea of sustainability as we know it today evolved out of the environmental movement in the mid-1900s. Implicitly, our ability to sustain environmental health relies on our understanding of landscape ecology: relationships between all life, great and small, on our planet and the cultivation of natural cycles that bind these relationships. For Salt Lake City’s Public Lands, the cycles that bind us to the environment (landscape) include our recreation activities that provide physical and mental wellness to our community: hiking in the Foothills Natural Area, enjoying the scenic views of our city golf courses and natural lands, or commuting to work under the shade of the urban tree canopy. The environmental health and scenic qualities of these landscapes are threatened with global and local stressors. The rapid loss of biodiversity (or richness of different types of plants and animals) is a global phenomenon. It is estimated that possibly half or more of all current species could be at risk of extinction in the foreseeable future worldwide.1 Locally, Water Strategies for the Great Salt Lake2, reported a historical decline in lake water levels due to human development, water use and sustained drought. Maintaining water in our creeks, the Jordan River and the Great Salt Lake is essential to protecting riparian habitat critical to local wildlife and migratory birds along the Central Flyway. At a citywide scale, recent studies aiming to project the impact of climate change found that by 2050 Salt Lake City’s temperatures could rise ten degrees and feel more like Las Vegas today.3 Within Public Land’s territories, Salt Lake City’s urban forest has been in decline over the last 20 years.4 With recent studies citing our evolution into an “indoor species,” spending only minutes a day outside, the physical and plant-based infrastructure that welcomes us outdoors so that we can connect with nature 1 Alvey, A.A.

For the SLC Public Lands system, the 2019 Needs Assessment5 found that 63% of those types of assets are in fair to poor condition. DESIRES AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR SUSTAIN The opportunities to think globally about climate change and act locally at the scale of SLC’s Public Lands is critically important to the community. With over 12,000 participants in this master plan effort, many provided suggestions on how to sustain and enhance Public Lands’ environmental health. The project survey saw 90% of respondents ranking two transformational projects that are emblematic of the Sustain goal, “Put Environment First” and “Grow Our Urban Forest,” as their top priorities in terms of urgency and importance. Supporting ideas that resonated with many in the community are displayed in the quotes on the following page. 5 https://www.slcdocs.com/parks/SLCPLNeedsAssessment.pdf Chapter Three: Sustain 48 EQUITY & ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE NRPA’s Story Map “Equity in Parks and Recreation” highlights how government policies “increased local park access for some, while significantly limiting it for others, especially by income, education, race and ethnicity.”6 Policies such as segregation, racial covenants and redlining have formed marginalized and historically underserved neighborhoods which suffer greater environmental inequities from industrial pollution and lack of investment. Today these communities continue to experience inequities formed by policies of the past. Research demonstrates that such neighborhoods have less tree canopy, higher urban temperatures, less permeable ground to absorb stormwater, and greater levels of air and noise pollution. In Salt Lake City, park and trail use during the pandemic increased by most demographic groups but decreased among older adults, females, homeowners, and low-income households 6 https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/5727e40084614c559bf0440dc5a21f7f according to research conducted by University of Utah.7 Parks and open space create an opportunity to address these inequities through environmental improvements that create more equitable access to nature and provide benefits which lead to greater health outcomes. The 2019 Public Lands Needs Assessment8 took the first steps toward understanding equity in access to nature by identifying high needs areas which mapped factors such as gaps in park access, age, and income. This assessment can be expanded upon to highlight communities that continue to experience environmental inequity. Figure 15 Equity Map was created combining environmental and demographic maps of equity disparity indicators to identify priority areas for provision and improvement of parks, natural areas, and trails. The indicators can be weighted by importance to prioritize investment in locations that advance equity goals. 7 JAPA 2021 “Who visited parks and trails more or less during COVID-19 pandemic, and why?

The following are some study findings and examples for SLC to consider. • The City of Reno, Nevada has formed a pesticide-free parks program, implementing best practices in maintenance and design to reduce the use of pesticides. It has successfully created ten pesticide free neighborhood parks and two pesticide free downtown parks. City of Reno pesticide-free parks program.

Transformative Project Creating wetland habitat with native plants at Farimont Pond. Chapter Three: Sustain 54 INCREASING RESILIENCY AND ECOSYSTEM HEALTH Public Lands staff, the Parks, Natural Lands, Urban Forestry and Trails Advisory Board (PNUT), and the Salt Lake City community clearly called out for this master plan to underline the importance of protecting the environment. Putting the environment first is about assessing Public Lands natural resources of water, air, soil, plants and wildlife and understanding the pressures climate change and increasing urbanization have on those elements. This project is about understanding the ecosystem health of the thousands of acres of natural lands, city parks, city golf and over 86,500 urban forest trees the City stewards. SUSTAIN:PUT ENVIRONMENT FIRST This project is at once grand, looking at the city’s green space as a regional ecosystem tied to interdepartmental climate measures laid out in the City’s Climate Positive 2040 plan, and precise, understanding the perennial flower species that will thrive in the arid environment while supporting bird and bee populations. It will increase resiliency in the face of a changing climate by conserving limited water resources through Drought Management, Water Budget and Climate Resiliency Plans. The transformative project “Put Environment First” will need support from staff, volunteers and the community to leverage existing partnerships, learn new ways to partner together to steward lands, and make prioritized decisions on where to invest limited resources that have the greatest environmental return on investment.

REHABILITATING WITH NATURAL ASSETS Public Lands’ Natural Areas are ideal locations to put the environment first by restoring native plants that benefit the local ecosystem. Establishing native plants along the river helps to combat invasive species, such as Phragmites, which overtake local ecosystems. Invasives accelerate the disappearance of riparian habitat, reducing food sources for species, such as migrating neo-tropical birds, that depend on the Jordan River. High water table helps n ew tr ee ro ots Jordan River Park way Create a balance between manicured spaces for community activity and improved habitat and natural areas for our non-human friends, plants and people alike Interpretive signage enhances visitor experience Riparian corridors, such as the Jordan River, are ideal locations for planting new tree additions to the urban forest. The surrounding high water table helps supplement irrigation needed to establish tree root systems in the dry western climate. Shade from increased tree canopy assists in restoring other native riparian species such as Wood’s Rose and Golden Currant, providing cooler temperatures that help plants absorb water efficiently. Invasives often form crowded colonies, blocking physical and visual access to enjoyment of our local rivers and creeks. A well-cared for and established natural environment provides opportunities for more recreational and visual access to the water’s edge while also creating essential habitat for birds and pollinators. Chapter Three: Sustain 58 Projects Include: • Launch a public awareness campaign to support new trees that are adapted to Salt Lake City’s arid climate and educate on waterwise and tree care best practices. • As part of an Urban Forest Master Plan, implement projects that increase urban forest canopy and identify strategies to overcome equity barriers. Acknowledging the limited time and water resources on the westside, consolidate tree planting projects with supporting low-water irrigation improvements EXPAND AWARENESS OF HOW TO BE A STEWARD OF OUR URBAN FOREST IN ALL PUBLICLY-OWNED LANDSCAPES INCLUDING CITY PARKS, STREET MEDIANS, CITY GOLF COURSES, RIPARIAN AREAS & NATURAL AREAS FOLLOW STEWARDSHIP OF THE URBAN FOREST TO PROMOTE TREE HEALTH AND CARE Tree-shaded neighborhoods and the nearly 7,000 trees in public golf courses that make up 11% of SLC’s urban forest can cool temperatures up to 6° during the summer while helping to improve air quality. By 2050 our temps could rise10° leading to poorer air quality. 1 Bastin JF, Clark E, Elliott T, Hart S, van den Hoogen J, et al. (2019).

GROW OUR URBAN FOREST and regionally appropriate tree selection. This provides extra support to ensure both the trees and the neighborhood benefits from a large-scale, collective effort as well as supporting other goals within the Reimagine Nature master plan. • Maximize planting of appropriate trees on all publicly owned landscapes such as golf courses, parks and street medians and leverage investment in tree planting with Salt Lake transportation projects. • Invest in the equipment and resources to responsibly reuse wood from trees removed from our urban forest to create usable wood products such as mulch for our park’s playgrounds and gardens. • Identify successful specimen trees and explore cultivating new cultivars that are climate adaptive. Transformative Project Chapter Three: Sustain 60 Figure 17: Tree Canopy and Historic Homeowner’s Loan Corporation Redlining Grades. *Map adapted from upcoming SLC Urban Forest Action Plan research. INCREASING NEIGHBORHOOD AND CITY-WIDE RESILIENCE Areas with little to no tree canopy are more common throughout the City’s westside, downtown and central neighborhoods, contributing to hotter temperatures and lower air quality. Some reduced canopy is an effect of historic inequities such as the Home Owners’ Loan Corporation 1930’s redlining practices, overlaid on the map in Figure 17. The westside also has a smaller residential area and larger industrial area, both of which contributes to overall lower tree canopy on the westside of the city. The westside industrial area will see more housing development in the future. There is an opportunity to increase tree canopy in areas of the city that don’t currently have trees to make these places more livable but there are challenges to achieving that. Lower income residents are more reluctant to request a city tree over concerns of the long-term water and tree care costs. Developing an approach to overcome these real cost barriers in lower income neighborhoods is an important factor in increasing and sustaining healthy tree canopy. Property owners and landlords may not be focused on the long-term benefits that trees provide to their properties. In the downtown area, many uses compete for the limited public right-of-way allocated for trees and pedestrians. Identifying ways to prioritize trees in the downtown will increase the comfort of the public realm. This can include focus on the role park strips play as important spaces for trees, in addition to providing city resiliency by reducing heat and absorbing storm water. While the traditional focus of forming tree-lined streets is important, planting trees in Public Land’ parks, golf courses and natural areas creates significant impacts to enhanced neighborhood resiliency. In these cared-for, often irrigated spaces, trees can have higher survival rates and mature, providing increased environmental benefits. These spaces also allow for trees to be planted in dense groupings, making them stronger and more resilient to damaging wind storms such as 2020’s derecho. Critical to success is allocating dedicated resources to the long- term care of the urban forest infrastructure that is installed. This will rely on both public employees and private property owners who are committed to and educated regarding the stewardship of these trees.

Like Salt Lake City, Denver residents and business owners are responsible for the maintenance of trees near the sidewalks and streets. While many programs provided free or low-cost trees to residents and businesses, the average life of new tree plants was only seven to twelve years due to the dry and hot conditions created by sun-warmed concrete and asphalt and worn-down irrigation infrastructure. In order to promote tree longevity and the benefits of a mature, shady tree canopy, the city and partners embraced multi- pronged efforts from awareness campaigns to maintenance support through the Urban Forest Initiative. As part of this initiative, city leaders formed a Downtown Denver Business Improvement District that funds the Tree Health Program to support commercial property owners in tree care (fertilization, pest management, watering) of over 1,800 downtown trees. Low-water trees: Common Hackberry adds to the tree canopy while conserving water in SLC’s dry climate. Tree Recycling: Wood from downed trees can be reused as mulch or urban artwork. Tree Protection: Policy changes could better protect valuable mature trees during construction. CASE STUDIES-SUPPORTIVE RESEARCH FINDINGS According to the Baltimore Wood Reuse Project, “wood is an abundant, renewable resource— we should use it more.”1 The project has created a successful model for recycling wood waste from Urban Forest operations, keeping it out of limited landfills and creating sustainable, locally sourced products such as bark mulch that can be reused in City parks and open spaces. Program partners re- purpose the wood as materials for sustainable building, mulch, and artisan furniture and art. Other successful outcomes have included creating jobs for those with barriers to employment and reducing operations and maintenance costs. Applying the model in Salt Lake City would provide opportunities for Urban Forestry to increase sustainable operations practices and reduce carbon footprints while creating green, equitable job opportunities. 1 Baltimore Wood Project — Rethinking Wood in the City Photo Source: (Above) http://baltimorewoodproject.org/ (Below) Wood waste from the Urban Forestry can be reused for other purposes. Chapter Four: Connect 64 4CONNECT: ACCESSIBLE & CONNECTED GREEN SPACES GOAL STATEMENT Well-maintained, welcoming trails, streets, public transportation, and sidewalks are interconnected as the city’s circulatory system. This system connects pedestrians, cyclists, and riders to the city’s green spaces and outstanding natural landscapes of Salt Lake City’s Public Lands: mountains, foothills, valley, wetlands, and lakes. The City will continue to enhance these systems and increase connectors to include everyday destinations ranging from the daycare, library, grocery store, pharmacy and museum. This adds convenient access to walk or ride along a greenway, adding steps to pedometers and enriching health and wellbeing. CHAPTER The goal of Connect seeks to link SLC’s natural assets: the greenway corridors, natural areas, mountains and the Great Salt Lake. Chapter Four: Connect 66 CHALLENGES TO ACCESSINGGREEN SPACE Salt Lake City’s Great Basin Valley, Wasatch foothills and Great Salt Lake shore uplands inspired the 1992 SALT LAKE CITY OPEN SPACE PLAN that recognized how disconnected these spaces were to the urban park systems at the time. Since 1992, progress has been made to connect parks and stormwater properties to natural open spaces through a network of green corridors. The Reimagine Nature Master Plan goal of “Connect” ties back to this earlier planning effort and positions Public Lands to continue to be the city’s “back yard” of conserved mountains, foothills, creeks and wetlands. Work-in-progress that supports this goal includes strategic open space preservation, stream restoration, park acquisition and partnerships to maintain and connect wildlife habitat corridors. An overall sense of environmental unease and costly recovery efforts confronts Salt Lake City with record hot weather, longer droughts, increased wildfire frequency, damaging storms, more poor CONNECT:ACCESSIBLE &CONNECTED GREEN SPACES air quality days and loss of the diversity of plants and wildlife in our landscapes. Counter these depressing stressors with findings on the benefits of spending time outside: blood pressure drops within minutes of just seeing a tree. So why aren’t more people spending time outdoors? Over the last decade of parks and open space surveys, North American city dwellers identified frequently recurring barriers to accessing green space: lack of leisure time, lack of affordable transportation (e.g., complete sidewalks, bus, etc.) or inability to travel to a space, and lack of knowledge about where to go to enjoy the outdoors. 10-MINUTE WALK Our time is precious; the modern world’s busy demands of work, learning and commuting consume most of our waking hours and impact our available time for recreation outdoors. Children in the U.S. spend only four to seven minutes a day outside and obesity levels in Salt Lake City have risen since 2013. For cities across North America, urban dwellers, health care providers and environmentalists consistently advocate for visions of an equitable network of city trails, sidewalks, bike lanes and green streets, providing all residents access to parks, work, shopping, and culture within a 5-to-10-minute safe walk of their households. City Parks Alliance and Trust for Public Land, leaders in urban green space research, endorse the 10-minute walk distance as a baseline standard for the United States because studies have shown the tremendous benefit of close-to- home green space to counter threats to our physical wellness and mental well-being. For the SLC Public Lands system, the 2019 NEEDS ASSESSMENT found that most residents are within a 10-minute walk of green spaces, with some areas (markedly on the westside) that need more parks and/or more investment in park renewal. AFFORDABLE, ACCESSIBLE TRANSPORTATION The daytime population of downtown Salt Lake City nearly doubles during the week with the average commute time of 20-25 minutes. Imagine if that commute “[THE LAND] HOLDS SO MUCH OF OUR CULTURE, OUR HISTORY AND OUR KNOWLEDGE…IN THE FACE OF CLIMATE CHANGE AND EVERYTHING THAT’S COMING, THESE LESSONS AND ANSWERS ON HOW TO LIVE WITH THE LANDSCAPES THAT ALL OF OUR TRIBES HAVE EVOLVED WITH, THOSE ANSWERS ARE ALL EMBEDDED IN THIS LAND.” ― Ahjani Yepa, Utah Dine Bikeyah, Inside Climate News, April 21, 2021 “IT IS ONE GREAT PURPOSE OF [CENTRAL] PARK TO SUPPLY TO THE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF TIRED WORKERS, WHO HAVE NO OPPORTUNITY TO SPEND THEIR SUMMERS IN THE COUNTRY, A SPECIMEN OF GOD’S HANDIWORK THAT SHALL BE TO THEM, INEXPENSIVELY, WHAT A MONTH OF TWO IN THE WHITE MOUNTAINS OR THE ADIRONDACKS IS, AT GREAT COST, TO THOSE IN EASIER CIRCUMSTANCES.” ―Frederick Law Olmstead, Letter to New York City Board of Commissioners, 1858.- Frederick Law Olmsted, letter to New York City Board of Commissioners, 1858 Chapter Four: Connect 68 changed from auto-driven to more active ways to reach work and school that also connect residents to parks and green spaces. People would add beneficial time outside in nature to their daily lives. Utah’s Unified Transportation Plan calls for a third of the state’s future transportation investments to be invested in transit (defined as mobility transportation including bicycles, walking, vanpool, buses, light rail, commuter rail, street cars, etc.). Leveraging these investments with the city’s growing green network and ensuring that people of all abilities (people with cognitive disabilities, elders with declining mobility, to parents schlepping a 36”-wide stroller) can access routes is critical for equity. Beyond providing access, many forms of active transportation are free to low-cost-an important factor as 45% of Salt Lake City metro renters are cost burdened. Low-income and subsequent burdens of housing and transportation costs can limit the amount of leisure time and transportation options people have to enjoy public lands. The challenge is thus twofold: one of connecting more ways of walking and cycling for everyone in Salt Lake City while prioritizing those routes that provide access to urban parks, natural areas, and trees within the city that also connect to the larger landscapes of mountains, foothills, basins, wetlands and lakes. AWARENESS The third most common barrier to getting outside is lack of knowledge: where are places to recreate, how to get there, what to expect when they get there, and who to recreate with. This awareness also has implications for long-term stewardship. The writer Vladimir Nabokov muses, “Reality is a very subjective affair. I can only define it as a kind of gradual accumulation of information; and as specialization. If we take a lily, for instance, or any other kind of natural object, a lily is more real to a naturalist than it is to an ordinary person. But it is still more real to a botanist.” Magical landscapes of trees, rock, creeks, marsh and salty lake where plants and wildlife abound in the Salt Lake City region. But if the public doesn’t understand what is there and how to leave no trace, they will be unlikely to understand how to be stewards of the land (how to enhance the health of the urban greenspaces and surrounding wilderness through political advocacy, financial support, stewardship, land conservation and reducing individual environmental footprint). Or to put it simply, we don’t know what we don’t know. Public education strategies and wayfinding can help cities connect people to experiences in nature, improving public health while growing caring stewards of plants, animals, and landscapes. DESIRES AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR CONNECT Creating opportunities to connect people to public lands resonated strongly with participants in the master plan process. During the most recent community survey, 90% of respondents said they are satisfied with the transformative project “Connect Mountains to Lakes” and 75% supported “Just 5 Minutes from Here,” a campaign to share information on how people can access and learn about public lands. Enriching the discussion about connecting people to place are quotes from participants, listed to the right. CONNECT:ACCESSIBLE &CONNECTED GREEN SPACES “MORE EMPHASIS ON MAKING AREAS BIKE AND BUS FRIENDLY TO REDUCE THE NEED TO DRIVE TO PARKS.” -comments from the 2021 public survey “ACCESS IS AWESOME, AND WE WANT PEOPLE TO GET OUT INTO THESE SPACES BUT HAVING HUMANS IN THESE AREAS CAN IMPACT WHAT THE HABITAT LOOKS LIKE, SO JUST BALANCING THOSE NEEDS AND BEING ABLE TO PROTECT LAND IN CERTAIN WAYS FOR WILDLIFE IS SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT.” “UNCOVER AND RESTORE THE BURIED AND IMPAIRED CREEKS IN THE SALT LAKE VALLEY.” Chapter Four: Connect 70 Figure 18: Transit and Park Access Analysis Map. ”FOCUS ON ACCESSIBLE BY PUBLIC TRANSPORT OR BIKE INSTEAD OF MORE PARKING FOR CARS.” “CAR FREE SUNDAYS IN LIBERTY PARK, INCORPORATE PARKS AND TRAILS INTO PUBLIC TRANSIT INITIATIVES MAYBE A SPECIAL RECREATION LOOP.” “NONE OF THIS WORKS WITHOUT A PLAN FOR EQUITABLE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION AND A BROADER CITY/COUNTY/STATE FOCUS ON AIR QUALITY AND OTHER ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY CONCERNS.” -comments from the 2021 public survey TRANSIT ACCESS TO PARKS IN SALT LAKE CITY TRANSIT CONNECTING PARKS Respondents to the Reimagine Nature survey continually cited the need for increased access by public transit for equity of access, low-carbon solutions, and to resolve the issue of lack of parking. According to the 2019 Needs Assessment, The Central Community has the lowest park LOS and is expected to experience the most future growth in the city. The addition of Fleet Block as a public green space could fill this gap and increase options to access parks by rail with proximity to the nearby TRAX station. As the City develops, consideration should be given to the relationship of parks and transit and affordable, environmentally friendly options for park accessibility. Figure 18 Access Analysis Map highlights existing parks within walking distance to rail station locations. Dark red areas are within a five minute walk of TRAX stations and dark green shows areas within a five minute walk of a bus stop. Adding or enhancing parks and trails within these areas should be prioritized for more equitable access. Imagine being able to visit a different park every week just by stepping off a different bus or rail stop.

The Mountains Recreation and Conservation Authority partnered with the region’s flood control district and public works to complete the 50 to 60-foot wide greenway that includes 15 acres of riparian habitat, 10-foot wide recreation trails on both sides of the channel and 8 ecological areas with over 1,000 trees. The Landscape Architecture Foundations’ Landscape Performance Series case study on this project underlined the following lessons learned from the Tujunga Wash Greenway to keep in mind for this transformational project: •Ongoing public education on the seasonal changes of the stream and landscape is essential to build environmental awareness; •In man-made streambeds, efficient sediment removal maintenance is key for flow; •Leverage smaller phases as a prototype for establishing baseline measurement and data collection regimes; and •Establish real-time environmental monitoring for habitat management and hydrological performance. The following recommended strategies and policies are high- level guidance for Public Lands operations and maintenance that direct how Public Lands will achieve the plan goal of “connect” over the next decade.

Working in tandem with the strategies and policies in this table, these projects root the 20- year vision with on-the-ground improvements. Additional detail for implementation is provided in Chapter 8 Action Strategies. CONNECT: HIGH-LEVEL STRATEGIES AND POLICIES Strategy C-1 Connect people to information about their park system to increase visitation. Supporting Policy 1.1 Help the public navigate to and around their public lands system with intuitive physical wayfinding and digital information. Supporting Policy 1.2 Provide information that helps the public interpret and appreciate their parks and natural lands, with the use of diverse, interesting programming and activities, education and messaging, physical and digital interpretive content, and park ambassadors. Supporting Policy 1.3 Facilitate access to information about use of SLC’s public lands by people experiencing homelessness, including available services and resources, hotlines, community partners, and opportunities to engage in cross-community dialogue to help make SLC parks welcoming and safe for sheltered and unsheltered alike. Strategy C-2 Increase the ease of access to public lands, making it easier to travel to, between and within them. Supporting Policy 2.1 Promote walking and active transportation by connecting our parks & natural spaces to the City’s alternative transportation network, including bus, TRAX, SLC Green Bike, and on-street / off-street trails. Supporting Policy 2.2 Invest in greening the urban trail network through tree plantings, stream daylighting, and other methods to interconnect parks with park-like trails. Supporting Policy 2.3 Incorporate careful consideration of physical limitations, language barriers, and other accessibility accommodations into all Public Lands projects. Chapter Four: Connect 74 access to both experiences. An enclosed walkway bridges the creek between the two library sections and connects to 8.8 miles of trails to other key destinations. Creekside Playground was added adjacent to the library. These places are made more accessible with support from Child-Friendly City Maps produced by youth and activities databases on growingupboulder.org. Case Studies - Portland, Oregon Golf Courses with Public Trails Three publicly owned golf courses in Portland, Oregon offer miles of walking trails to the public. The trails range from neighborhood- serving jogging trails to regional, paved shared-use paths. At Glendoveer Golf Course, 50,000 Case Studies - Salt Lake City Children’s Outdoor Bill of Rights Public Lands worked with diverse youth service providers in SLC to create a CHILDREN’S OUTDOOR BILL OF RIGHTS (#slcoutdoorchildren) and list of outdoor that every child growing up in Salt Lake City should have access to during their childhood for the sake of their physical, mental, social, and ecological health. The Children & Nature Network provides more resources. Activities include: - Seeing the Great Salt Lake - Catching a bug - Splash in a stream - Identify a wild plant - Reward stickers and journals for documenting experiences. rounds of golf are played annually, and more than 100,000 walkers concurrently use a 2-mile fitness trail, in part due to the park deficient adjacent neighborhood. The American Trails organization reports in their case study of this course that no trail users have been hit by errant golf balls. Lessons learned include expanding the 40-parking spot trailhead used by hikers and pedestrians to access the course and education around golf-trail etiquette and un-leashed dogs. Another good example in Portland is Heron Lakes Golf Course where a 200-yard stretch of the course is used to help fill a trail gap for a larger 40- mile loop. The “Just 5 Minutes from Here” wayfinding and informational campaign could leverage these activities and identify destinations to complete the outdoor activities and learn more about stewardship and ecologies of public lands. Case Studies - Boulder Public Library and Boulder Creek Path As the main branch of Boulder Public Library became slated for renewal, the City found that building a new location adjacent to the Boulder Creek Path and greenway would be a more cost-effective option.

Transformative Project CONNECT SLC’S TRAILS & PARKS TO THE CITY’S BACKYARD NATURAL ASSETS Chapter Four: Connect 80 Salt Lake City became a city in large part due to the scenic beauty of the mountains and lake embracing the valley. The 70.7 miles of existing Public Lands trails and 129 miles of planned trails enable many to enjoy walking and cycling access to shady natural areas and parks. But for many areas of the city, access to waterways, the lake and mountains is limited. To address this, “Connect Mountains to the Lake” envisions a vast network of running and walking paths, cycling routes and green corridors. Imagine being able to connect from the downtown core to the Great Salt Lake or Wasatch Mountain trails. Or, for daily commutes, imagine having safe and welcoming trails that provide opportunities to integrate exercise into the daily commute, making pulses race and filling senses with scenic beauty. “Connect Mountains to the Lake” would promote enhanced connections between neighborhoods and natural lands, particularly to the Foothills Natural Area. This project also supports protection and greater access of the Foothills Natural Area, a recent plan calls for 65 miles of new trails to help connect this natural treasure to more pedestrians, hikers and cyclists. Protecting the foothills with sustainable, well-connected trails that direct visitation to concentrated areas has an added benefit of protecting undisturbed wildlife habitat. Beyond the benefit to health and wellness, these connected corridors provide pathways for the movement of birds, mammals and fish and create opportunity for rainwater management that supports ecosystem health. Building and expanding greenways helps increase pervious surfaces that can help clean and manage storm water runoff all the while supporting mature tree canopy that provides shade and habitat.

The plan seeks to better connect the City’s park system to the natural environment, overcoming manmade barriers and unifying the City by connecting the Wastach foothills, benches, valley floor, creeks, Jordan River and Great Salt Lake wetlands. SLC Public Lands has come a long way to achieving the 1992 goals, with many trails underway or completed, enhancing access to nature and joining natural features. The goal “connect” seeks to further these objectives, completing proposed trails throughout the City while emphasizing opportunities for enhanced natural areas, greenways and connections to the Jordan River.

JUST FIVE MINUTES FROM HERE Transformative Project Chapter Four: Connect 86 Navigating Salt Lake City’s roads is fairly straightforward using the north, south, east and west grid system and 660’ x 660’ blocks. The 70.7-miles of Public Lands trails interface with these roads at trailheads and within green destinations of parks and natural areas. Within this network, hundreds of cultural destinations and stories await hikers, cyclists and pedestrians. Lessons of natural history, environmental stewardship and origin stories of parks are waiting to be told in the 120 languages currently spoken in Utah (Source: U.S. Census). National best practices also point to the advantage of linking cultural destinations of libraries, safe routes to schools and active recreational destinations to a city’s trail network. In Salt Lake City, many of these connections exist, just five minutes from people’s day to day lives and can be highlighted through signage, outreach education and digital campaigns. Co-locating cultural, natural and recreational destinations makes it easier for us to combine the trip to the library with a healthy family walk, enriching our day-to-day lives. Conversations with Salt Lake City residents who speak English as a second language reveal that including multi-lingual communications in signage and digitally helps make public lands feel more welcoming and inclusive. An added benefit to increased awareness of what is in public lands, is the opportunity to share how to take care of public lands and support tree canopy health, clean water and fresh air.

Parks departments across the country struggle with balancing limited resources and many priorities with achieving these ideals. For cities, there is also a growing awareness of how green space has historically been provided and maintained for different neighborhoods. Cities are collecting data and stories to document the historic inequities in the quantity and quality of green space (e.g., nationwide studies have found that lower income urban areas typically correlate with less tree canopy, less accessible green spaces and lower quality amenities). The Public Lands Department, in alignment with the mayor’s 2021 citywide vision, is committed to looking at top-down and bottom-up community-driven solutions to welcoming more people. The department will strive to reflect the diverse culture and history of Salt Lake City neighborhoods in the tapestry of parks and open spaces. WELCOME: ACTIVE, AUTHENTIC, AND INCLUSIVE SPACES CHAPTER Cultures of SLC are brought to life at park events like the Living Traditions Festival. Chapter Five: Welcome 92 CHALLENGES TO CREATING WELCOMING SPACES An increased awareness of the health and social benefits of living near park spaces has prompted cities across the country to close gaps in park access and attempt to provide all residents a park within walking distance of their home. Another traditional metric used to define Level of Service (LOS) for parks is to calculate the park acreage per population and try to maintain or improve on that baseline as the population grows. However, parks provide many different functions that do not always relate to their size, requiring more factors to be assessed to understand parks performance and establish targets. The 2019 Needs Assessment survey revealed that Westside parks receive significantly less visitation than other parks throughout the city. (12-13% vs. 29-56%). One contributing factor could be the lack of city-wide festivals held on the Westside. Additionally, Westside residents are more likely to visit east-side parks than east-side residents are likely to visit Westside parks. Equal investment in parks throughout Salt Lake City’s neighborhoods does not always translate to parks that equally serve each community, nor does it make up for any historic inequities. It takes a combination of factors to succeed in the creation of thriving, active spaces, where all feel safe and welcome. Some factors of creating a welcoming park include providing park amenities that are appealing to all ages and inclusive playgrounds and spaces for all abilities that are ADA accessible. While park proximity and amenities are some ways to measure park quality, they are not a singular solution for ensuring parks are meeting the needs of the community. Salt Lake’s various neighborhoods, communities, and cultures each have their own unique recipes for park success that need to be shared and generated through robust community engagement. Ensuring that all local community members are involved in the park planning process, with extra efforts to reach underrepresented or underserved populations, is essential to gleaning local knowledge for the right park ingredients and understanding factors that contribute to parks’ use and enjoyment. The NRPA Community Engagement Resource Guide defines equitable engagement stating “An inclusive and meaningful engagement process ensures that our parks and public spaces are created by the people they are intended to serve.”1 NRPA has also published reports, such as “Design, Place and Indigenous Ways: Working with Local Communities”2 and “Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in Parks and Recreation,”3 that serve as guides to learning from specific communities. 1 Community Engagement Resource Guide | Best Practice Resources | Publications and Research | NRPA2 Design, Place and Indigenous Ways: Working with Local Communities | Social Equity | Parks and Recreation Magazine | NRPA 3 2021deireport.pdf (nrpa.org) WELCOME:ACTIVE, AUTHENTIC AND INCLUSIVE SPACES “PLEASE PRIORITIZE THE SAFETY OF OUTDOOR SPACES FOR ALL.” “CREATE BEER GARDENS SUPPORTING LOCAL BREWERIES, CONCESSIONS SUPPORTING LOCAL CAFES AND RESTAURANTS WITH HEALTHY AND DIVERSE FOOD.” “MAKE PARKS ACCESSIBLE: TO ALL CULTURES, ABILITIES, & AGES.” -comments from the 2021 public survey Chapter Five: Welcome 94 “I’d like to see the homeless needs be addressed as part of improving the public lands. Are there areas they could camp where they could have access to health care and bathrooms to make it safer for them and also keep the parks clean and safe?” “Make sure that community gardens are part of the re- imagined green public spaces.” WELCOME:ACTIVE, AUTHENTIC AND INCLUSIVE SPACES “I’D LIKE TO SEE THE HOMELESS NEEDS BE ADDRESSED AS PART OF IMPROVING THE PUBLIC LANDS.” “ADD PUBLIC ART FEATURES WHEN POSSIBLE.” -comments from the 2021 public survey “EQUITY: A COMMUNITY THAT PRIORITIZES EQUITY WORKS TO ENSURE THAT ALL COMMUNITY MEMBERS HAVE ACCESS TO WHAT THEY NEED TO BE SUCCESSFUL.” -NRPA COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT RESOURCE GUIDE “CONSIDER HAVING LOCAL ACTS IN PARKS AS WELL AS MORE FREE MOVIES. ADD FOOD VENUES OR TRUCKS. PLAN EVENTS THAT ARE BOTH FREE AND OPEN TO EVERYONE, INCLUDING DISABLED FOLKS IN CHAIRS AND USING WALKERS/CANES.” Partnering with local organizations provides opportunities for community-led art, education and recreation programs that integrate the character and cultures of the city’s neighborhoods into park spaces. Such programs, activities and events also contribute to active spaces that increase park use and enhance safety. Encouraging and providing support for youth grassroots movements is another way to let the community lead park advocacy and stewardship. Youth can become strong leaders who represent parks through youth city councils and youth parks boards. Creating city youth engagement plans to reach all ages can foster early appreciation for nature, civic involvement and lend a sense of belonging. Raising kids from a young age to be future stewards requires early exposure to positive experiences in nature that fills them with wonder, curiosity, and that feeling of being part of something larger than yourself. Youth engagement can include environmental education programming and finding locations for nature exploration and play instead of the typical playground. DESIRES AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR WELCOME Creating active, welcoming spaces was valued by the community. During the most recent survey, 86% of respondents were satisfied with the transformative project “Reimagine Neighborhood Parks” and 83% supported “Coming to a Park Near You.” Among survey participants in the west-side planning areas, which have the lowest park visitation in the city, Reimagine Neighborhood Parks was prioritized as a top urgent project that should happen right away. Enriching the discussion about creating welcoming spaces are select quotes from participants displayed to the right and on the previous page. Chapter Five: Welcome 96 CASE STUDIES New York City Parks formed the Community Parks Initiative (CPI) to advance equitable distribution in park investments. The program identifies underinvested parks and incorporated community-led solutions for park redevelopment through local partnerships, park volunteer opportunities, and extended outreach efforts to engage diverse and vulnerable populations from high-needs neighborhoods. With support from the CPI, community partners are empowered to sustain ongoing park contributions, leading activities ranging from beautification projects to basketball days. Philadelphia Parks has a concessions program providing amenities such as a pop-up beer garden and café, a permanent waterfront café on the Schuylkill River, and recreational bike rentals that rent tandem, deuce coup and surrey bikes at park locations throughout the city. The concessions program generates revenue while providing services that allow park visitors to stay and enjoy activities throughout the day. The City of San Jose formed a program to help address homelessness in parks. Non-profits will send teams to pick up litter, maintain the park landscaping and trails, and provide outreach to unsheltered populations in the parks. The pilot program is considering other additions, such as constructing prefab modular housing nearby provided to unhoused people in exchange for park cleanup and maintenance services.

The community identified two keystone, transformational projects to support the overall goal of welcome. Working in tandem with the overall strategies and policies in this table, these projects root the 20-year vision with on-the-ground improvements that will contribute to the sustainability of Salt Lake City’s quality of life for humans, plants and animals. Additional detail for implementation is provided in Chapter 8 Action Strategies. WELCOME:STRATEGIES AND POLICIES OVERVIEW WELCOME: HIGH-LEVEL STRATEGIES AND POLICIES Strategy W-1 Design and program Neighborhood Parks to highlight the unique natural, historical, cultural and economic identity of the surrounding area and community in which they are located.

REIMAGINE NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS Chapter Five: Welcome 100 WELCOME:REIMAGINE NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS During the Reimagine Nature public process, the community provided ideas to make neighborhood parks more safe and also more fun, reflecting the diverse communities that use each park. To address the lower visitation in Westside parks documented by the 2019 Needs Assessment, this transformative project envisions a community-driven approach to park improvements. The community can help guide physical improvements that tell the story of an historic spring or celebrate a neighborhood’s artistic style in a decorative community garden gate. The construction of these physical improvements in neighborhood parks create spaces that feel authentic, genuinely representing the style, history and recreation desires of the neighborhood. In tandem with community input, Public Lands will carefully look at the way department resources are prioritized. Creating a framework for equitable investment will involve identifying the communities most in need of park improvements through tools such as the equity mapping on page 48. It will also entail targeted investments in historically underserved neighborhoods, such as the recently passed City capital improvement plans and bond initiatives that include: • Investing in the Jordan River Parkway to match dollar for dollar investments in east side parks such as Liberty Park. The parkway includes over 158.3 acres of managed natural lands and is directly connected to 11 parks totaling over 440 acres. • Improvements to three west side parks to improve the amenities and add placemaking features and community character. • Creating the Glendale Regional Park, a destination park with event area and other unique recreational opportunities. Community members reimagined their neighborhood park at a “Paint the Pavement” event in Poplar Grove Park. Chapter Five: Welcome 102 WHAT IS A NEIGHBORHOOD PARK? A neighborhood park’s primary function is to serve the surrounding community and respond to the need for basic recreational amenities close to peoples’ homes. Ideally, these parks are geographically centered within a half mile of homes and are connected by pathways and sidewalks that provide safe walking and bicycle access. Neighborhood parks are typically smaller in size, ranging from about two to 15-acres, and have fewer purposes than larger community parks. They are intended to provide both active and passive recreation for residents for short daily leisure periods, and should be accessible for intensive use by children, family groups, small neighborhood gatherings, and senior citizens. Neighborhood parks typically have a mix of large and small amenities, such as open lawns and grass play areas, pavilions, playgrounds, sports courts and/or fields. On-street parking is typically adequate. As there are not enough resources to encourage extended periods of use- neighborhood parks do not usually have facilities such as lighting and restrooms. WHAT MAKES A GREAT NEIGHBORHOOD PARK? The answer to the question, “what makes a great neighborhood park” varies from one park to another. Local community values, in excellent physical condition well-maintained, amenities in good conditions accessible to all potential users all ages & abilities, people know about the facility and what they can do, free/affordable to use provide positive experiences diverse range of amenities and activities, all community members feel welcome and safe, comfortable place to spend time in are relevant to the communities they serve park design and programming reflects the culture and interest of the community members, surrounding community actively uses the park, user demographics reflect the community-based organizations are involved in park decisions and operations flexible and adaptable to changing circumstances park accommodates a variety of uses, features adapt to evolving circumstances, park enhances environmental sustainability/ resilience WELCOME:REIMAGINE NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS URBAN LAND INSTITUTE’S 5 CHARACTERISTICS OF HIGH-QUALITY PARKS Integrating input from the youth of the community is one strategy to ensure neighborhood parks serve all ages. Youth engagement can include environmental education programming or finding locations for nature exploration and play instead of the typical playground. 1 2 3 4 5 park purpose and size, and environmental conditions can lead to different sets of criteria for evaluating park quality. The variety of park settings and community needs makes it difficult to establish baseline standards each park should achieve based on quantitative considerations such as number of amenities. Yet a successful neighborhood park is apparent. It is full of activity and diverse people, well-loved by the community and frequently visited. Through research and engagement with parks and communities across the country, the Urban Land Institute, (ULI) has identified qualities that contribute to great parks which can be broadly applied to different park settings.1 The graphic on the right outlines these qualities. 1 uli-fivecharacteristics_high-qualityparks_fin. pdf Nature Playground, Story Mill Community Park - Bozeman, MT Youth Engagement Bailey Drive Gateway - Raleigh, NC Youth Engagment, West Gunnison Park - Gunnison CO Chapter Five: Welcome 104 PARKS BY THE COMMUNITY High-quality neighborhood parks are reflective of neighborhood character by being culturally relevant to the communities they serve and providing a diversity of activities that represent the neighborhood. Parks can best achieve neighborhood character when they are planned and implemented with the imagination and effort of the local community. The Reimagine Nature engagement process successfully harnessed the power of neighborhood park investment. Public Lands Staff and students from the University of Utah’s Department of City and Metropolitan Planning invited neighbors of Poplar Grove Park to join Earth Day and Paint the Pavement events in which CASE STUDY: A CITIZEN’S GUIDE TO IMPROVING PARKS Livable Memphis, in partnership with The City of Memphis, created a comprehensive guide to help citizens get involved with their neighborhood park. The guide “shares ideas and practical information for park improvement projects, provides tools and resources to be a park advocate and demystifies the process of navigating government agencies.”1 It includes worksheets for conducting park assessments and neighborhood surveys, and provides how-to guidance on the logistics of leading park events, hosting volunteer cleanups and starting a “Friends of the Park” group to name just a few. 1 https://assets.speakcdn.com/assets/2075/ guidetoimprovingyourpark_2018. pdf?1537377320428 “75% OF SALT LAKE CITY’S PARKS & PUBLIC LANDS ARE NEIGHBORHOOD OR MINI PARKS AND PLAY A KEY ROLE IN ESTABLISHING COMMUNITY IDENTITY AT THE NEIGHBORHOOD LEVEL.”– 2019 public lands Needs Assessment STEPS TO MAKING A GREAT NEIGHBORHOOD PARK: (A COMMUNITY TOOLKIT) 1. Assess needs o Identify what services, activities or amenities may be missing from the community that the neighbor- hood park could provide. o Consult published research by organizations such as TPL, NRPA and ULI to understand successful elements of a great neighborhood park. Engage neighbors to understand which park criteria is most important and assess if your park is meeting needs or could use improvements. 2. Create community-led park strategies. o Create a process to enable ground-up, community park planning, advocacy and stewardship. 3. Identify opportunities for community-led programming and park activation o Are there local businesses, non-profits, cultural groups, religious organizations, clubs or community volunteer groups that could contribute to park educational programs, events, activities or classes? 4. Create passive and active recreation opportunities to activate the park and encourage com- munity presence. o Do park amenities and recreation opportunities serve a wide variety people and cater to all ages and abilities? o Are there comfortable spaces where neighbors can linger to relax and enjoy nature? o Are there a variety of spaces that facilitate gathering and group activities? 5. Create culturally relevant amenities. o What amenities would best serve the culture and trends of the community? 6. Identify elements to create place-based park design. o Are there unique characteristics of the environment, neighborhood or community that should be reflected in the park design? o Do natural features create possibilities for unique programming or recreation such as environmental education, water recreation, hiking, or winter sports? 7. Foster community stewardship o Are there community partners with an interest in volunteerism and stewardship? o Is there neighborhood interest in forming Friends of the Park groups to steward and advocate for the park? o Are there elements of park maintenance or research that could support educational, vocational train- ing, or internship opportunities? 8. Identify local environmental considerations. o Are there natural features that are important to maintain or restore? o Are there opportunities for the park design to improve local environmental conditions such as noise pollution, air quality, urban heat, etc.? STEPS TO MAKING A GREAT NEIGHBORHOOD PARK neighbors helped design spaces for park improvements, planted trees and painted a mural. These events resulted in a park reflective of community expression and generated input for Reimagine Nature plan efforts from a typically under-represented neighborhood. Formalizing a process for inviting the community to shape their own neighborhood parks has helped parks staff across the country make neighborhood investment a fundamental element of park planning. The toolkit example shown in Figure 23 provides a framework outlining steps both the Public Lands Department and community members can take to engage the community holistically as long-term partners for the planning and stewardship of neighborhood parks. WELCOME:REIMAGINE NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS Figure 23: Community Park Planning Framework Toolkit. Chapter Five: Welcome 106 WELCOME:REIMAGINE NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS HOW ARE PUBLIC LANDS’ RESOURCES PRIORITIZED? Long-term plans, like Reimagine Nature, and annual plans by City staff work in concert to determine how time and money is spent on Public Lands. Long-term plans inform annual work. Each ring of planning is informed by community and stakeholder input. City Council and Boards contribute to prioritization decisions. WHAT INPUTS INFORMED THE REIMAGINE NATURE PRIORITIZATION TOOLS? Figure 24 communicates how a combination of inputs such as feedback and findings from the 2019 Needs Assessment, community input from Reimagine Nature engagement focus groups and survey responses, and research on existing needs and desires are all inputs guiding the prioritization of master plan recommendations, such as the 10 transformative projects. CREATING EQUITABLE PRIORITIZATION AND INVESTMENT Providing equitable parks requires evaluating park quality not just at the site scale, but at the system scale as well. System-wide prioritization of park investment begins by establishing baseline criteria and taking stock of existing conditions. Inputs such as the 2019 Needs Assessment, equity and environmental mapping, community feedback, and park amenity and conditions assessments identify gaps in the system and can help establish standards for park quality and identify areas most in need of investment. An example of local equity mapping is found on page 48. In addition to understanding where resources are most needed, it is also important to consider how funding decisions affect equitable investment. Strategies that are beneficial to some communities, such as “Friend’s of the Parks” groups, can put communities who do not have the time or money to spend at a disadvantage. According to the Urban Institute’s report Investing in Equitable Urban Park Systems, “All funding models have equity implications: some are explicitly designed to address equity and meaningfully engage all residents, some risk deepening inequities and fueling displacement, and most depend on how they are used.” The report examines different funding models and their implications for equity. It provides strategies for equitable investment practices such as redistributing funds from “Friends of the Parks” groups into city-wide systems, engaging community advisory committees in funding processes, and coordinating park and City planning efforts to discover cross- departmental alignment in both goals and funding.

COMING SOON TO A PARK NEAR YOU Chapter Five: Welcome 110 SUPPORT ACTIVITY To take advantage of the beautiful spaces and green destinations Salt Lake City already has, this transformative project aims to increase use of public lands through events, programs, recreation and concessions. National parks and recreation organizations call this type of improvement “activating” parks and green spaces or creating vitality in parks through providing programs or physical features that invite activity. SUPPORT EVENTS One of the unexpected outcomes of the 2020-2021 COVID-19 pandemic safety protocols included a dramatic increase in the public visiting outdoor parks and green spaces. Events that typically happened indoors including concerts, conferences, classes and meetings transitioned to the outside. Building upon this rediscovery of outdoor venues, this transformative project welcomes partnerships with community arts, music and performance groups to look for ways to use Salt Lake City outdoor public spaces as places for events. Everyday activities like outdoor yoga, a quinceañera (celebration of a girl’s 15th birthday) or picnicking under the shade of a park tree are also important activities that can be supported through investment in infrastructure (e.g., shade, picnic tables), event policy and staff services and higher levels of maintenance in city parks. ENVIRONMENTAL ED Keeping environmental education in mind, this transformative project welcomes opportunities to expand nature-based and volunteer programs. With training in horticulture, cultivation and nature stewardship, more public participants could volunteer and support the great need to take care of what we have in Salt Lake City parks, urban tree canopy and greenspaces. YEAR-ROUND PROGRAMMING Parks see the most visitation during the warmer months. Offering a diversity of activities as shown in Figure 25 can extend park-use to all four seasons, increasing opportunities for winter outdoor activity and the associated benefits that come with adequate sunlight exposure during the dark winter months. Kids learn about relationships between soil and bugs at an environmental education event.

The Public Lands Department will balance providing safe green spaces for the public while also protecting iconic, irreplaceable natural resources that keep the city wild. Stewardship demands are profound: diminishing environmental health, increasing need for visitor management, increasing maintenance demands, increasing numbers of unhoused using open space as refuge, and increasing costs to provide infrastructure and services to a growing city. In the Public Lands’ domain, the Department will lead the stewardship and care of urban green spaces. The Department will seek out opportunities to partner with advocacy groups and schools to educate on how the public can be stewards of the land and learn its history. PROTECT: A COMMITMENT TO STEWARDSHIPCHAPTER Public Lands Staff creating wetland habitat at Fairmont Pond. Chapter Six: Protect FACTORS IMPACTING STEWARDSHIP Stewardship can be defined as taking care of public lands now and managing resources to protect public lands for future communities of people, plants and wildlife. Taking this a step further, a 2018 literature review of environmental stewardship concepts synthesized a more nuanced definition focused on local actions: “Local environmental stewardship is actions taken by individuals, groups or networks of actors, with various motivations and levels of capacity, to protect, care for or responsibly use the environment in pursuit of environmental and/or social outcomes in diverse social- ecological contexts.”1 From this research group’s extensive review of existing management and governance practices, they identified key factors to local environmental stewardship capacity that also 1 Bennett, N.J., Whitty, T.S., Finkbeiner, E. et al. Environmental Stewardship: A Conceptual Review and Analytical Framework. Environmental Management 61, 597–614 (2018). https://doi.org/10.1007/s00267-017-0993-2 PROTECT:A COMMITMENT TO STEWARDSHIP resonated with findings from the Reimagine Nature community outreach. Firstly, local community assets including “social capital,” or trust in local government agencies and the ability to feel safe and welcome in public spaces is critical. Stakeholders and members of the Salt Lake City community cited “cultural capital” including a community’s understanding of place, history and practices as important to building motivation for stewardship. Additional factors supported by best practices and community feedback include “financial capital” of both the government and individuals that affords stewardship actions plus “human capital” of stewardship actors (community, volunteers, staff, etc.) and their degree of training, skill level and available time. SOCIAL CAPITAL & HOMELESSNESS What social capital (e.g., cues to care, stewardship actions, etc.) make Salt Lake City residents feel safe and welcome in public lands? From engagement feedback, the public expressed a deep appreciation of nature and green space that is woven throughout the city. They expressed that well-maintained, well-lit and well-attended public space provides a sense of safety. There was divided response on the larger societal issue of people experiencing homelessness and those impacts on public spaces including parks, natural areas and trails that fall under the Public Lands Department’s operation and maintenance responsibilities. On one end of the spectrum, some members of the public demanded more enforcement stewardship actions from the department and city agencies at large that ranged from more eyes on the park to removing unhoused individuals altogether. On the other end of the spectrum, community members called for ways to coexist with people experiencing homelessness or support those individuals with more social services in public spaces like lockers to store personal property. No matter what end of the spectrum the public may be on, the impacts to Public Lands is profound with 345 staff hours and $23,084 of maintenance a year devoted to clean-up activities “RECRUIT STEWARDS, RANGERS/ AMBASSADORS, AND VOLUNTEERS FROM MINORITY COMMUNITIES NEAR THE PUBLIC LANDS.” -comments from the 2021 public survey “REACH OUT AND LISTEN. SPECIFIC PLACE-BASED RESPONSES FOR ACTS OF RESTORATION, MAINTENANCE, AND DEVELOPMENT.” “RETHINK AND RESTRUCTURE OUR NATURAL AREAS TO INCLUDE THE CONTRIBUTIONS, LAND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS, AND BETTER SYSTEMS OF CARE OF THE LAND BY INDIGENOUS PEOPLE.” 118 Chapter Six: Protect related to the unhoused finding no other options than using parks, natural areas and trails as their homes. Nield and Rose, researchers from the University of Arizona and University of Utah, conducted a recent case study2 on the Jordan River Parkway and the impacts of people experiencing homelessness. Their community interviews found similar responses to those cited above for Reimagine Nature. Their report also analyzed the impact of nationwide short- term, symptomatic responses to homelessness in public lands and found that those measures may appease neighboring businesses and residents temporarily, they typically prolong the issue of the unhoused in public lands and keep management departments in a seemingly never-ending cycle of ultimately ineffective solutions. Bottom line, social capital needs to be strengthened through collaborative solutions to stewardship and cues to care. Public Lands is seeking to create more of these collaborative opportunities by expanding the 2 https://www.nrpa.org/parks-recreation- magazine/2019/january/addressing-homelessness-in-public-parks/ successful Trail Ambassadors program into a system-wide Public Lands Ambassadors program. The “Revive Our River” transformative project highlighted in this chapter provides for targeted, local green space in which to implement collaborative stewardship solutions, building up social capital and improving the environmental health of a riparian habitat that benefits both east and west sides of Salt Lake City while also improving conditions for birds, wildlife and aquatic creatures. CULTURAL CAPITAL As part of this master plan’s community engagement, Public Lands partnered with the University of Utah Planning Department Westside Studio. Students in the studio hosted a focus groups in early 2021 on the theme “Placemaking, Community Building and Equity.” Tying into the 2018 “Environmental Stewardship” research, understanding how a community’s culture and history is expressed in the landscape can help increase motivation for green space stewardship. Westside Studio students heard that the community desires to partner with Public Lands to “understand, honor and promote the knowledge and presence of rich traditions of diverse cultures” reflected in the city’s green places, parks, natural areas, trails and golf landscapes. In placemaking workshops, students found “over 80% of participants associated natural elements and family connections with their given memory.” These local findings support this chapters second emblematic transformative project, “Sustaining Our Stories,” which can help build cultural capital that in turn inspires motivation for local stewardship actions. “Sustaining Our Stories” also seeks to protect the cultural capital found in historic assets such as the buildings and landscapes that keep the stories and cultures of the city’s past alive. FINANCIAL AND HUMAN CAPITAL The old adage “time is money” also relates to organization and individual capacity to implement local environmental stewardship actions. Salt Lake City demographic trends point to more households falling below the affordability threshold for living and working in Salt Lake City. North American cities with similar demographic trends struggle with balancing delivery of equal quality of life amenities (e.g., well-maintained public lands) with a greater percentage of the population needing additional support to access those amenities equitably. Plus, any historic areas of inequity are magnified and struggle even more to catch up with quality and community stewardship of public spaces in affluent neighborhoods. From an individual perspective to an agency perspective, the Public Lands Department also faces steep challenges to balance resources and keep up with needs. NRPA’s 2021 Agency Performance Review finds that parks departments around the country typically provide 8.2 full time equivalent employees (FTEs) per 10,000 residents to maintain and protect resources. Public Lands would need a total of 160.7 FTEs to meet the current number of residents. Currently, Public Lands has approximately 100 FTEs, or 5.1 FTEs per 10,000 residents. As the City continues to grow, the Public Lands service gap could continue to widen. With over 30,000 new residents expected to move to Salt Lake City by 2040, an additional 15.3 staff will be needed to maintain current staffing levels per capita. To match national averages, in year 2040, Public Lands will need 184.9 FTEs. PROTECT:A COMMITMENT TO STEWARDSHIP The Department’s current spending in 2020 was $15,670,096, or $79.95 per capita. US peer cities per capita annual operating budget spending averaged $88.30. To keep up with peer cities, SLC Public Lands would need an annual operating budget of $17,306,800, an increase of $2-million. By 2040, Public Lands would need to have a budget of $19,955,800. Additional data collection and research is needed to determine an appropriate method to address a backlog of deferred maintenance costs. An inventory of Public Lands’ investments and their conditions is underway which will inform future deferred maintenance planning efforts. “I WANT YOU TO ACT AS IF THE HOUSE IS ON FIRE, BECAUSE IT IS.” - Environmentalist Greta Thunberg, World Economic Forum, Davos, 24 January 2019 Chapter Six: Protect 120 “CONSIDER THE WATER NEEDS OF CURRENT AND FUTURE VEGETATION; MAKE PLANS THAT REDUCE WATER USE WITH NATIVE AND ADAPTIVE SPECIES WHILE ADDING TREES AND OTHER PLANTS.” “I WOULD HOPE COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT COULD BE INCLUDED IN THE PLAN. THINGS LIKE HAVING LOCAL PERFORMERS PUT ON SHOWS AT NEARBY PARKS, OR HAVING VOLUNTEERING BE MORE ACCESSIBLE. PUTTING ON A CONCERT AT A PARK MAKES ME WANT TO GO OUTSIDE AND VISIT A PARK MORE. SOMEWHERE LIKE THE PEACE GARDENS WOULD BE IDEAL FOR THAT.” “CREATE AN ACTIVE PROGRAM TO TRAIN, SUPERVISE, ORGANIZE, EQUIP AND DEPLOY VOLUNTEER “STEWARDS” TO HELP WITH CREATION AND MAINTENANCE OF PROGRAMS.” -comments from the 2021 public survey “SINCE MORE PEOPLE ARE USING THE OUTDOORS, EDUCATION ON HOW TO TREAT AND TAKE CARE OF IT IS ESSENTIAL.” Local stewardship actions require human and financial capital (time and money). Looking forward over the next 10 to 20 years, it is clear that investment in Public Lands and ensuring larger, citywide efforts to keep Salt Lake City affordable will have a profound effect on local stewardship capacity for individuals and institutions. DESIRES AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR PROTECT In the 2020 community survey, the word “protect” most often resonated as a goal with the thousands of participants. In PROTECT:A COMMITMENT TO STEWARDSHIP reflecting on the concept and ideas from the 2021 survey, many citizens took the time to add write- in comments encouraging the planning team to prioritize ways to protect and restore nature and wildlife. Enriching the discussion about protecting nature are direct quotes from participants found below and to the right. Chapter Six: Protect 122 LOCAL STEWARDSHIP IN ACTION Youth volunteers are a big component of the Parley’s Rails, Trails and Tunnels Coalition. The organization collects donations to support the trail in addition to providing volunteer opportunities which include helping maintain the trail, planning and trail design, fundraising events. The International Peace Gardens Academy pairs stewardship alongside educational experiences. Volunteers can learn gardening skills, help maintain and cleanup natural areas near the Jordan River and lead educational garden tours. The group also provides opportunities for members of heritage groups to share their culture and traditions through storytelling activities in the garden. Salt Lake City Public Lands is an active steward of the city’s natural and wild spaces. The Natural Lands Division works to restore and create native landscapes, such as the newly created wetlands at Fairmont Park. Public Lands also provides stewardship opportunities such as Puncturevine Pulls, Canoe Cleanup Day on the Jordan River, and a 9-Line Dig Day at the 9-Line Bike Park.

Transformative Project Chapter Six: Protect 126 PROTECT:REVIVE OUR RIVER Salt Lake City’s iconic Jordan River took its name from the historic river in the Middle East, a sacred landscape and threshold to the “Promised Land” in Judaism and Christian traditions. For other cultures, fertile river valleys have also played a critical role in civilization, agriculture and are also seen as sacred landscapes. Native American groups recognize the life- giving qualities of rivers: “If there’s water nearby, I’ll go there for solace…. Both the river and I have changed, but our course remains the same” (from “River Sonnet” poem by Tacey M. Atsitty, Diné). For many North American cities, the form of development and attitude towards city rivers range from embracing portions of the river for recreation and commerce, to using the river for stormwater and waste management and to “turning our backs” on city rivers as areas full of insects, pests and flooding. In Salt Lake City, the community has voiced a strong desire to protect the Jordan River as a natural asset by expanding and improving ecosystem health and recreational experiences along the 60-mile Jordan River Parkway Trail. For improved recreation, the public shared that additional maintenance and safety amenities like trail lighting would make the Jordan River Parkway experience more welcoming. Additionally, the Jordan River lands are adjacent to many underserved communities and investment in high quality maintenance and recreation infrastructure can help bring more equitable service to Westside neighborhoods. A key opportunity for ecosystem health is that the scale of available land along the Jordan River Parkway provides an opportunity to greatly increase tree canopy in an environment that can support long-term growth of healthy, mature shade trees. These lands offer a consolidated opportunity to protect and enhance the tree canopy as the urban forest declines through impacts of climate change, insufficient stewardship (e.g., irrigation of young trees) by adjacent landowners, and the illegal removal of trees during construction as the city population grows and redevelops. Urban infrastructure has shaped the Jordan River throughout SLC’s history. “Revive Our River” invites the community to reimagine the river as the ecological heart of the city.

BIG MOVES & STRATEGIES Chapter Six: Protect 130 CASE STUDY: The city of Seoul uncovered and restored a 3.6-mile portion of the Cheonggyecheon Stream in the center of the city, creating a connected green way for walkers, cyclists and wildlife. The Landscape Architecture Foundation features this project in their Landscape Performance Series1 and documented that the final protects the city from the impacts of 200-year flood events, increased overall biodiversity by 639%, reduced the urban heat island effect on stream temperatures by 2-degrees Celsius and reduced air pollution by 35%. Beyond these successes, the project team also had costly lessons learned by not fully including access considerations for those with visual and physical disabilities in the initial design. 1 https://www.landscapeperformance.org/case-study-briefs/cheonggyecheon-stream-restoration • Consider using low-flow retaining walls rather than stone or concrete; • Install spur dikes to increase water depth and slow flow; • Utilize variation in river bottom profile to support invertebrates; and • Create plant-based filter strips for cleaning the stream from hardscape and street pollutant runoff. Those were added later after protests and were more costly. A technical follow-up study also cited the following suggestions to better support plants, fish and invertebrates: BEFORE & AFTER EXAMPLES: Photos credits 1) Cheonggyecheon Stream, https://www.landscapeperformance.org/case-study-briefs/cheonggyecheon-stream-restoration; 2) https://www. pressdigital; 3) https://www.itdp.org/2021/04/02/leapfrogging-past-the-urban-highway/ Chapter Six: Protect 132 REVEAL PAST AND PRESENT STORIES FROM OUR DIVERSITY OF EXPERIENCES THAT HAVE SHAPED THIS VALLEY, GIVING FOCUS TO UNDERREPRESENTED AND INDIGENOUS PEOPLE.

SUSTAINING OUR STORIES Chapter Six: Protect 134 PROTECT:SUSTAINING OUR STORIES Landscape architects Matthew Potteiger and Jamie Purinton write in “Landscape Narratives: Design Practices for Telling Stories” that storytelling is “fundamental to the way people shape and make sense of experience and landscapes.” The trees, material of paths, recognizable businesses around a park’s perimeter and other physical qualities of parks and natural areas are the setting where the city’s collective and individual stories “take place.” As Salt Lake City grows and welcomes more people, important historic stories and origin stories of parks and public lands are at risk of being lost in the passage of time and dynamic changing of place. As cities reconcile the recent history of colonization by Westerners, Native American stories and ways of creating shared places become important. For youth these stories can add an additional path to understand and appreciate green space and civic commons. The humanistic practices of art, literature, community advocacy, history, drama, music, street arts, architecture and landscape architecture all have methods and means to design and tell stories of the land and cultures both past and present. This transformative project aims to create landscape “canvasses,” both by preserving historic, cultural assets and their stories and by creating opportunities for storytelling with partner groups and the community. In documenting and “Sustaining Our Stories,” Public Lands preserves and protects the cultural threads that create a sense of place in Salt Lake City’s nature. Restoring and interpreting structures within Public Lands, such as Allen Park, Fisher Mansion, and Warm Springs Park are sizable investments of this Transformative Project. The many cultures and stories that shaped Salt Lake City are embedded in historic architecture and landscapes such as the springs and historic bathhouse at Warm Springs Park. “[AN IMPORTANT] ELEMENT OF GREAT PUBLIC SPACES IS THEIR ABILITY TO HIGHLIGHT AN AREA’S CULTURAL IDENTITY- WHETHER THROUGH LOCAL PRACTICES, LOCATION, HISTORY, DESIGN, ARCHITECTURE, OR ART. THIS IS A CRUCIAL FACTOR FOR CREATING A SENSE OF PLACE THAT CAN WITHSTAND THE TEST OF TIME.” -PROJECT FOR PUBLIC SPACES, MARCH 2016 Chapter Six: Protect 136 CASE STUDY- RENAMING ADVOCACY Over the last decade, the National Parks Conservation Association had advocated changing the names of several of landscape features in National Parks to reflect indigenous names (e.g., proposal to change Hayden Valley PLACE NAMES Places are shaped by the names they are given, stories that are told and histories that are taught. Over time, unshared stories become at risk of being lost, forgotten without a place in the historical narrative. The Native Lands Map to the right, highlights indigenous tribal landscapes around and in the Salt Lake Valley that were home to the Ute, Goshute and Shoshone for thousands of years. It demonstrates place before European settlers structured and claimed the land with borders, names and property. It strives “to map Indigenous lands in a way that changes, challenges, and improves the way people see the history of their countries and “IF HISTORY CAN BE READ IN THE NAMES ON THE LAND, THEN IT IS VERY PARTIAL AND VERY FRAGMENTED,” -Lauret Savoy, author of “Trace: Memory, History, Race, and the American Landscape” Blackfeet leaders Bird Rattler (far left), Curly Bear (second from left) and Wolf Plume (third from left) meet with Stephen Mather, soon-to-be Park Service director (sitting) and other officials to respectfully protest the use of English-language names in Glacier National Park in 1915.1 Photo Source: https://www.npca.org/articles/2189-naming-matters-photo credit copyright Marian Albright Schenck/The Collections of Horace Albright 1 https://www.npca.org/articles/2189-naming-matters Public Lands can help communities share their stories by serving as a venue, such as the Temporary Museum of Permanent Change, a collection of rotating artistic exhibits Downtown that highlight the stories of the people of SLC. peoples.”1 Similarly, Public Lands can provide an opportunity to keep indigenous histories alive by recognizing and sharing important place names and stories. 1 https://native-land.ca/ in Yellowstone to Buffalo Nations Valley). Similar efforts are met with support and detractors. There are sentimental attachments to place names or others may not resonate with current trends towards what some people call a “cancel” culture. This case study reflects the potential opportunities and challenges Salt Lake City Public Lands could face in the process of “Sustaining Our Stories.” A good way to provide space for the community to brainstorm, respectfully disagree and come to consensus would be to leverage the Reimagine Nature engagement tactics and partnerships with community groups like the University of Utah staff and students.

A ghost, if you will, holds the creek’s place, moving slowly in darkness below the dry, sun-baked surface.

Dig, and the water will come to light, like the blind floor revealed when the carpenter’s floor is taken up.” -Barry Lopez CASE STUDY-THE “ACTIVATION” AT BUCHANAN MALL CASE STUDY- LANGUAGE OF LANDSCAPE Over the last decades, several writers have compiled compendiums of lost landscape words that help describe the ecological phenomena of nature. “Sustaining Our Stories” is also about getting out in nature and expanding our language of landscape. Three books speak eloquently on this topic. Features in parks, such as this chalk wall, can provide opportunities for people of all ages to tell their stories.

In September 2018, the City of San Francisco began their partnership to re-envision and renovate Buchanan Mall. The City and other partnerships engaged in a intensive engagement with the community to develop and discuss the plan. Once the concept plan was complete, the City selected one block to fully design and build to show the community the possibilities of their shared spaces. One attraction in the developed block was the installation of the “Activation”. The Activation is a temporary installation of gardens, benches, archways, historical photos, lighting, and two “audio- As Robert McFarland writes in his 2015 book Landmarks, which collated thousands of words describing the landscapes of Britain and Ireland, “this is a book about the power of language— strong style, single words—to shape our sense of place.” In addition to the cultural histories of people who have lived in the Valley’s landscapes, there are words all of us are unfamiliar with or as McFarland writes, “we have forgotten 10,000 words for our landscapes.” The 2006 book Home Ground: A Guide to the American Landscape compiles over 800 fading landscape words from 45 poets and writers. In this book edited by Barry Lopez and Debra Gwartney, words such as “blind creek” are defined: “To most eyes a dry creek is a place where a creek once flowed and after a rain will likely flow again. Such a waterway is an ephemeral creek, technically. But by another way of seeing, domes” providing stories from the neighborhood. The community worked together to design prototypes of the Activation dome and were hired to help build the installment. This created a sense of ownership over their space and fostered conversations among community members. Chapter Seven: Grow 140 7 GOAL STATEMENT As the Salt Lake City population increases, our public lands receive more visitation and work harder to reduce negative impacts of more “footprints” on our landscapes and public amenities with increased maintenance and renewal. Providing the amount of public properties in relation to population growth needs is increasingly challenging in a city reaching maximum expansion build-out with limited opportunities to aquire large natural areas or small parks in areas of dense development with high land prices. City departments and partners work together to provide green space and recreation opportunities in our rapidly re-developing downtown. We innovate and make smart use of the public properties we have, being strategic with our resources and creating funding sources to expand our urban forest, trails, park system, and natural areas. GROW: EXPAND OUR PUBLIC LANDS SYSTEM SLC golf courses provide an opportunity to greatly increase the urban forest and provide it with care. CHAPTER Chapter Seven: Grow 142 EXPANDING THE PUBLIC LANDS SYSTEM 2020 Census data shows that Utah is the fastest-growing state in the nation.1 Over 30,000 people are expected to move to Salt Lake City by 2040. In order to maintain the current level of park space provided to the population, as of the 2019 Needs Assessment, the city would have to add 94 additional acres of park space to Public Lands. That’s roughly equivalent to adding another Liberty Park to the city. This acreage is a shifting metric as parks, such as the new Allen Park, have been added to the system yet the population of the city has grown faster than predicted in 2019. Like other North American cities with expanding population, challenges to growing or acquiring more green space include rising land prices, limited resources for taking care of current lands and competing land use needs. In terms of walking distance to green spaces, Plan Salt Lake sets a 2040 aspirational target of every 1 https://gardner.utah.edu/census-2020-utah-fastest-growing-state-in-u-s/ GROW:EXPAND OUR PUBLIC LANDS SYSTEM resident living within a half-mile of public lands. While most residents meet this criteria, the denser urban communities of Downtown, Sugar House and the Central Planning Area still have gaps in walkable access to parks.2 In addition to public parks for recreation, expansion of Natural Lands and trail corridors for land and water conservation, wildlife habitat, and other ecological or scenic character purposes is also of high importance. The 2010 Salt Lake Open Space Acquisition Strategy identified many key opportunities and since then area plans have highlighted urban to wilderness opportunities for expanding Public Lands holdings. RISING LAND PRICES AND GROWING POPULATION The Deseret News3 recently reported that 2020 saw double- digit percentage home price increases and classifies the 2 Salt Lake City Parks and Public Lands Needs Assessment, (2019)3 https://www.deseret.com/2021/5/13/22412416/ utahs-place-in-the-west-raging-housing- market-salt-lake-city-rising-housing-prices-record-breaking Salt Lake metro as one of the hottest housing markets in the West. Salt Lake City’s Downtown Alliance4 found that real estate and construction costs are at an all- time high and there are insufficient green spaces downtown. Most cities offer three times more green space to downtown residents than Salt Lake City. The 2019 Needs Assessment5 also found that the downtown core is especially lacking in green space compared to the rest of the city and identified the Depot District, Central Business District, East Downtown and 400 South as population growth areas of the city that will require additional open space to meet the needs of future residents. RESOURCES TO MAINTAIN AND ACQUIRE Acquiring additional land for parks, natural lands, and trails is costly and maintaining new spaces will add resource burden to the existing deferred maintenance of existing public lands. 4 https://www.downtownslc.org/images/pdfs- doc/2020_State_of_Downtown_v10.pdf 5 Salt Lake City Parks and Public Lands Needs Assessment, (2019). - plan Salt lake, 2014 “OPEN SPACE AND THE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT ARE DEFINING FEATURES OF SALT LAKE CITY. OUR BEAUTIFUL CITY PARKS AND OPEN SPACES, PAIRED WITH THE DRAMATIC VIEWS OF AND PROXIMITY TO THE WASATCH AND OQUIRRH MOUNTAINS, MAKE SALT LAKE CITY A BEAUTIFUL PLACE TO LIVE AND VISIT. THESE AESTHETIC AND RECREATIONAL QUALITIES ATTRACT NEW RESIDENTS, VISITORS, EMPLOYERS, AND INVESTMENTS TO OUR CITY.” Chapter Seven: Grow 144 Some municipalities utilize developer contributions as one mechanism, that when property tuned, contributes to parks provision for new residents. The 2010 Open Space Acquisition Strategy lists a number of conservation tools including: bargain sale of land, parkland/ trail dedications, zoning for conservation, trail easements, conservation easements, purchase of development rights, transfer of development rights, conservation subdivisions, deed restrictions, wildlife property tax valuation, partnerships for funding leverage and stewardship. Criteria for new open space includes evaluating benefits of scenic assets, ecological health and the neighboring community, and connection to other public lands. Other mechanisms, such as Community Reinvestment Bonds for capital improvements, will act as another resource for improving public lands, with funding allotted to major projects which include: creating a regional park at Glendale, restoring historic buildings and landscapes in parks such as Allen Park and Warm Springs Park, continuing implementation of the Foothills Trails System Plan, creating a wood re-utilization plan for the Urban Forestry division and improving the Jordan River. COMPETING LAND USE GOALS Affordable housing and supporting commercial businesses and utilities are high needs for a growing city. Also important is public lands infrastructure. University of Chicago psychologist Marc Berman states, “natural spaces are not an amenity, they’re a necessity—we have to have it. Just like clean water or clean air, we have to have natural spaces in our environment for people to function well.”6 Given Downtown and the Central Planning Area’s lack of adequate greenspace, in addition to a growing population, protecting and enhancing SLC’s existing parks and open space and efforts to increase the provision of greenspace are of top importance. While other land uses such as affordable housing provide a worthy cause for urban 6 https://www.discovermagazine.com/health/ green-spaces-are-a-necessity-not-an-amenity-how-can-cities-make-them development and infill, public greenspace is an irreplaceable asset within the city. Not only is it crucial to protect the few remaining slices of greenspace in the city for wildlife and ecosystem benefit, it is economically a valuable asset for the City to retain. Based on the average land value of SLC planning areas that contain homes today, if the 3,699 acres of existing parks and golf courses were overcome by development, replacing those acres – and the essential associated environmental and health benefits - would cost approximately 1.4 billion dollars.7 However, in some situations nonperforming lands could be swapped for those that better serve Public Lands mission. 7 Calculated with GIS data from the Salt Lake County Assessor’s Parcels and Salt Lake City planning areas. DESIRES AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR GROW In reflecting on one word that sums up the public’s vision for the next 10 years of public lands, “grow” came in as the second most popular. Digging into the hundreds of comments made from the public, many people reflected on the need to invest in green spaces on the Westside of the city and from a citywide perspective to add spaces where plants and wildlife needs come first. Ideas on how to grow public lands from the public include: “More natural wildlife areas without paved trails. A NY Central Park size park on the West side of the valley.” “Require that all new apartment building complexes have green spaces as part of their design.” “[Experiment with] a planting of some native species, you know, the little copses of oaks and maples and box elders that exist in that Golf Course are really needed and actually harbor quite a bit of wildlife.” “94 ACRES OF NEW PARK LAND WILL BE REQUIRED BY 2040 TO MEET FUTURE NEEDS AT THE SAME LEVELS OF SERVICE AS TODAY.” - 2019 SLC Public Lands Needs assessment “MOST CITIES OFFER THREE TIMES MORE GREEN SPACE TO DOWNTOWN RESIDENTS THAN SALT LAKE CITY.” Chapter Seven: Grow 146 General standards for different park types (classifications), shown in Figure 29, helps to provide parameters for creating equitable park investments and expectations. For example, Neighborhood Parks are unlikely to include restrooms as this expense is better reserved for Regional, Community, and Special Use Parks that may require greater PARK CLASSIFICATIONS AND STANDARDS travel and duration of visitation. However, these classifications do not dictate aesthetics and allow for selection of a variety of features- such as types of sports courts, community garden, or play features. Upgrading parks to include amenities listed for their categories, such as Glendale to be a regional park, is one way that park capacity to support a growing population can be met. As the city nears build- out and it becomes even more challenged to acquire additional park acreage it will be important grow within existing parks to do more to meet needs. PARKLAND CLASSIFICATIONS AND STANDARDS Size and Service Area Purpose and Function Characteristics and Amenities Expectations Location Examples *not a complete list Regional Park 25+ Acres. 1.5 mile local service & city and regional service Provides facilities and recreational amenities intended to serve city residents as well as the surrounding region. These parks should provide a large variety of recreational opportunities to be both a regional destination and surrounding community attractor. These parks are likely to support a combination of passive and active interests such as water play, playgrounds, shelters, trails, and athletic facilities. Park amenities, events and landscape make them regional attractions. Special site features such as streams, lakes or historic sites may add to the park’s character. Amenity expectations may include restrooms, parking, lighting, concessions, facilities for rental/reservation, and expression of history, art and culture.

Allow for group activities not feasible nor desirable at the neighborhood level due to noise, lights, traffic, etc. Often adjoining other community-oriented facilities (libraries, community centers, schools, etc). Portions of the site should have gentle topography to accommodate active sports fields and open turf areas. Unique landscapes should be preserved, celebrating features such as streams, lakes or historic sites to express park character. Community Parks have facilities such as lighting and restrooms. May include special amenity or recreation facilities, such as athletic complexes or sports fields, large swimming pools, or play areas, although not the only purpose of the park. Likely to include playground equipment or large play structures, informal and formal play fields, paved areas for court games, pathways, picnic shelters, and community buildings. Portions of land may include areas of natural quality for outdoor recreation, such as walking, viewing, picnicking. May include natural features such as water bodies or features and gardens. 11th Ave. Park, 1700 South River Park, Cottonwood Park, Fairmont Park, Herman Franks Park, Memory Grove Park, Pioneer Park, Washington Park, Warm Springs Park.

INCREASING LEVEL OF SERVICEAND FUTURE INVESTMENTS The National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA) finds that city parks departments on average offer one park for every 2,777 residents and 9.9 acres of parkland per 1,000 residents. While this is a national benchmark average, NRPA acknowledges that park agencies are as diverse as the landscapes and people they serve. There is no one, standard way of measuring level of service that works for every city. The people, staff and stakeholders of a city must provide input on the values and needs of their own communities for access to the urban outdoors and environmental services provided by parks, urban forests and green spaces. Level of service is often measured by acres of parks and open space per person. Yet many measures such as park investment and availability of park amenities contribute to the level of park service each neighborhood receives. Due to limited available space, areas of the city with higher densities will need to find creative solutions to increase park level of service to meet the demands of a growing population. At the same time other planning areas contain substantial acreage of parks and natural lands which are in need improved maintenance and the addition of amenities to equally serve the community. Figure 30, the map to the right shows near-term Public Lands’ investments that seek to improve the level of service of parks and amenities across the city. Significant near-term investments are broken down by planning area on the following pages, highlighting major improvements and transformative projects that will serve each community.

NORTHWEST AND WEST SALT LAKE The westside has a higher level of service in terms of park and natural land acreage than the citywide average, and is connected by the Jordan River. Increasing park service in these communities will involve investing in existing public spaces to enhance environmental quality and increase park amenities. There is a very high need for investments in these two planning areas to achieve citywide equity goals. Population is growing in this area and residents are concerned about rising housing costs, gentrification and seeing their cultural identity disappearing from these places. NRPA and other GROW:EXPAND OUR PUBLIC LANDS SYSTEM park researchers are working to expand a list of recommendations for parks-related anti-displacement strategies that should be employed for this area.1 Providing existing parks with amenities that serve the needs of the community will be important to incorporate into future investments. There is also a high percentage of children, youth and seniors compared to the rest of the city’s population and park investments should make extra consideration for these groups. 1 https://www.nrpa.org/parks-recreation-magazine/2019/december/greening-without-gentrification/ Near Term Investments: »Invest in the Jordan River and the Jordan River Parkway Trail »Invest in Fisher Mansion »Invest in Glendale Regional Park »Identify opportunities for separated bike lane/ multiuse paths to close gaps »Implement the Surplus Canal Trail »Add uses to Glendale Golf Course to make it more accessible to the community. »Improve westside park amenities, placemaking and programming Glendale Golf Course Glendale Regional Park 1700 S Park 9 Line Trail 900 S River Park Fischer Mansion Jordan Park Jordan River Parkway Trail Jordan River Parkway Trail Rosewood Park Riverside Park Constitution Park CottonwoodPark WestpointePark Poplar Grove Park Regional Athletic Complex Sherwood Park Proposed Surplus Canal Trail 1700 S 2100 S 700 WI-15I-15 I-15I-15 REDWOOD RD.REDWOOD RD.NORTH TEMPLE Rose Park Golf Course Future SLCPL Native Plant Nursery Chapter Seven: Grow 154 CAPITOL HILL DOWNTOWN CENTRAL CITY GROW:EXPAND OUR PUBLIC LANDS SYSTEM CAPITOL HILL, DOWNTOWN AND CENTRAL CITY These areas of the city are experiencing an extremely high degree of change.

A multi-varied and aggressive approach which includes public and private strategies as well as public-private partnerships is needed to address the need for more green space in the heart of the City. The City should identify ways to reinvent city streets, taking advantage of the wide right-of- ways to create linear green space. Other ways to provide green space could involve allocating space for parks on City-owned blocks. Additionally, the City could encourage developers to include outdoor green space assets for their residents to provide respite from the urban environment. Strategies could also include expanding sidewalks and park strips to create space for more outdoor dining and pedestrian activity. Expanding the park strips provides permeable surfaces for stormwater collection and adequate growing space for trees, cooling the hot, paved urban environment. Identifying space for community gardens, which are in high demand in these neighborhoods would also provide needed urban green space.

While these planning areas have a small percentage of park acres compared to other parts of the city, they have the greatest access to natural lands due to their proximity to the foothills. Investments in linear recreation, and multi-use paths that connect neighborhoods to existing natural lands and the Foothills Natural Area will be key to improving park service in these neighborhoods. Utilizing or adding multiple uses to other greenspaces such as the City Cemetery and golf courses are also top strategies to improving access.

The community identified two CASE STUDIES The Lafitte Greenway, a 54 acre multi-use trail and linear park system, utilizes a former shipping canal and railroad right-of-way to create a network of shaded green space which connects people and communities in seven historic New Orleans neighborhoods. The planning process accompanied a community-led revitalization strategy for each neighborhood, showcasing neighborhood character and integrating the desires of local residents. The greenway “incorporates sustainable design through green stormwater infrastructure, native plantings, adaptive re-use of existing buildings and the reduction of impervious surfaces.” The City of Ann Arbor, Michigan provides stewardship opportunities for residents to help maintain local parks through their Adopt-a- Park volunteer program. The program allows neighborhood associations, individuals, or group organizations to customize their own program for volunteering by setting their own maintenance regiment, schedule and plan for what they would specifically like to work on. Volunteers are able to foster a sense of park ownership while learning about topics of interest. The Downtown Seattle Association (DSA) creates partnerships to activate Downtown parks and public spaces. The group collaborates with the Seattle Parks department, friends-of-the-parks groups, and local artists to enliven Downtown spaces with events and art installations. Artists and organizations are invited to host an array of activities in parks such as “fitness classes, arts and crafts, children’s activities, dance and pet events.”1 The DSA also facilitates projects that include adding flowers, vibrant, artistic crosswalks and creative lighting and wayfinding to Downtown spaces. 1 https://www.a2gov.org/departments/Parks-Recreation/administrative/adopt-a-park/Pages/Adopt-A-Park.aspx Photo: Lafitte Greenway, New Orleans Louisiana, Design Workshop Photo: Ann Arbor Adopt-A-Park Volunteer Program, https://www.a2gov.org/departments/Parks-Recreation/administrative/adopt-a-park/Pages/Adopt-A-Park.aspx Photo: Downtown Seattle Association art in public spaces, https://downtownseattle.org/art-projects/come-play-westlake-park-occidental-square/ GROW:STRATEGIES AND POLICIES OVERVIEW transformational projects to support the overall goal of “grow.” Working in tandem with the overall strategies and policies in this table, these projects root the 20- year vision with on-the-ground improvements that will expand and optimize the use of public lands, aligning the growth of Salt Lake City’s public lands system with the growth of the City. Additional detail for implementation is provided in Chapter 8 Action Strategies. GROW: HIGH-LEVEL STRATEGIES AND POLICIES Strategy G-1 Be proactive and strategic about growth of the Public Lands System. Supporting Policy 1.1 Investment of resources into new lands, new assets and amenities is driven by policy and informed by data and public engagement. Supporting Policy 1.2 Tax increment or other dedicated funding sources for O&M are established so that additional maintenance resources keep pace with new capital asset funding and projects. Supporting Policy 1.3 Integrate growth planning for public lands with economic development initiatives and community planning and zoning. Inventory and develop long-range plans for City-owned land that is not currently in the Public Lands’ system in order to make strategic planning, zoning and land use decisions which utilize existing spaces with parks and open space characteristics. Strategy G-2 Overcome difficult obstacles to growth needs through creativity and through leveraging external assets and resources. Supporting Policy 2.1 Maximize usability of public outdoor spaces, including golf courses, right-of-way, and public/semi-public spaces (such as library grounds) outside the Public Lands inventory. Supporting Policy 2.2 Leverage innovative public-private partnerships and collaborations with developers to help address the growth needs of the Public Lands system. Supporting Policy 2.3 Position Public Lands to take advantage of private contributions, including ‘adoption’ of amenities, corporate partnerships and philanthropic giving.

DOWNTOWN COMES ALIVE OUTSIDE Transformative Project Chapter Seven: Grow 162 This transformative project aims to help meet the gap in amount of greenspace available to downtown residents and commuters. With Pioneer Park as the downtown’s only greenspace, creative ways to relook at urban space and add green amenities and recreation is needed. Working with private landowners and businesses, this transformative project calls all hands on deck when it comes to providing green space downtown as well as supporting urban trees with irrigation and care. An example of this is Fleet Block, a city- owned property, that is currently being imagined to include public greenspace to meet needs for recreation, socialization, and nature within the urban area. Planning experts have cited the city’s “Mormon Grid” and large 660’x 660’ blocks as originally having multiple uses in mind from agriculture to streets that primarily served as unpaved green space around minimal roads. Recreation and natural areas in the traditional right of way inform big ideas like “The Green Loop,” which aims to add 60 acres of park space to the urban core. Additional green space and tree canopy coverage will provide a cooling effect to counter the urban heat island warming of the primarily hardscaped city. In addition to street trees and green stormwater management, Public Lands should creatively invent ways to infuse recreation and public gathering spaces as mini-parks that take pressure off the few downtown parks. The Green Loop will be a considerable investment in the city in coordination with City Planning and Engineering Departments.

INCREASING PARK ACCESS DOWNTOWN With only one park to serve 9,685 residents and a daytime population of 41,072 people,1 Downtown is identified as a High Needs Area for additional park space. Finding underutilized spaces, such as the paved and abandoned Fleet Block, and taking advantage of SLC’s large right-of-ways can help infill with needed green space. BIKE-FRIENDLY DOWNTOWN While Downtown has bike lanes, they require a confident cyclist, comfortable navigating busy traffic. The Green Loop would create a low-stress option for all ages and abilities to bike, jog and walk to Downtown destinations. SLC’s wide streets provide opportunities to create green space downtown in key locations. 1 U.S. Census Bureau, Census 2010 Summary File 1.

Transformative Project Chapter Seven: Grow 168 In 2021, City Golf joined the Public Lands Department along with City Parks, Natural Areas and Urban Forestry. At first glance, this consolidation has received comments during the Reimagine Nature process on the value of golf lands to the green spaces and natural areas of the city. Public survey results can be broadly categorized into the following topics: • Community members who want to keep golf for golf play; • Community members who state that golf needs more investment; • Community members who would like golf courses to be more open to other recreational uses; • Community members who want golf courses to support the environment or have more natural ecosystems; and • Community members who want to replace golf with other uses. The planning team conducted extensive case studies looking at best practices that address the community’s feedback topics and these are explored in the “Welcome to the Green” transformative project. The most promising examples that align with the core value expressed by the public to protect the city’s environment include telling the story of how important existing golf lands are to biodiversity and providing ecosystem services including improving air quality. Exciting precedents and environmental certifications show how future improvements could support the environment even further. Rose Park golf course offers opportunities to enhance riparian habitat along the Jordan River. GROW:WELCOME TO THE GREEN Chapter Seven: Grow 170 CITY GOLF TRANSFORMATION CONTINUUM OPERATIONS AND COURSE RECONFIGURATION Description: Offering different types of golf play or reconfiguring courses (18-hole to 9-hole). Pros: Offers less time intensive play options for today’s lifestyle. Cons: Mid to long-term implementation and large investment. Recommended Direction: Leverage learnings from recent pandemic pivots and staff recommendations for courses that could offer more flexible play. A literature review of best practices in golf - both for cost recovery ideas and complementary uses of golf courses - revealed a continuum of options Salt Lake City Public Lands can consider to help offer golf while providing more green space to the growing population over the next 20 years. The options below could be used individually or in tandem to help provide open space more equitably, improve stewardship of the environment and enrich the city’s livability. AUDUBON SANCTUARY CERTIFICATION Description: Pursue certification or other program that rigorously captures baseline condition and provides strategic plan to make golf landscapes more ecologically diverse. Pros: Supports plants and wildlife. Cons: Investment of time and resources. Recommended Direction: Pursue pilot project and potential for implementation as part of Golf Master Plan. ADD DIFFERENT TYPES OF RECREATION PROGRAMS AND/OR AMENITIES Description: Adding different types of recreation into existing golf courses (e.g., trails, cycle paths, etc.). Pros: Maximizes space and offers use of golf courses to other constituents. Cons: Safety and liability considerations. Could also add “nuisance” complaints from area neighbors with increased public use/parking. Recommended Direction: Monitor recent perimeter trail project and identify other potential areas in future golf master plan. STORM WATER QUALITY INFRASTRUCTURE Description: Add storm water ponds or other green infrastructure features to golf courses that also act as a landscape amenity. Pros: Helps allow for more adjacent density around golf courses. Potential to treat quantity and quality of runoff and support ecosystems. Cons: Loss of some space for water quality features. Cost of implementation and ongoing maintenance. Recommended Direction: Partner with Public Utilities and Planning departments to assess feasibility in golf master plan. WATER EFFICIENT IRRIGATION UPGRADES Description: Update old irrigation infrastructure to be more water efficient and more reliable. Pros: Saves water and time for staff to focus on innovation areas. Cons: High initial cost and potential temporary closures of courses for construction. Recommended Direction: High priority to fund and implement as this investment would benefit golf operations and create opportunities for additional native plantings. ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS Description: Keep golf courses as essential open spaces that provide environmental benefits rather than transferring them to other land uses such as affordable housing developments. Pros: Retains permeable, planted landscapes that absorb stormwater and reduce urban heat island effects. Cons: Other solutions for affordable housing must be explored. Recommended Direction: Protect golf and open space from development to retain environmental benefits to the city, and conserve space for wildlife and plants. Maximize the opportunity for golf to provide ecological services. FLEX OPERATIONS ADD RECREATION ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP TRANSFORMATION LAND USE Chapter Seven: Grow 172 REIMAGINING GOLF FOR PUBLIC LANDS Public Lands is anticipating undertaking a comprehensive Golf Master Plan to strategically plan for operations and future improvements. During the Reimagine Nature planning process, the planning team took the first steps toward this process by assessing the Golf Division’s staffing, funding, and operations and maintenance to identify challenges and opportunities. Resulting major topics to be addressed in a future Golf Master Plan include assessing funding mechanisms and strategies, possibilities for concessions and clubhouse improvements; and improvements to deteriorating irrigation systems. IRRIGATION AND RESOURCE SAVINGS Maintaining the current irrigation systems at the golf courses is one of the most maintenance intensive and expensive tasks. Maintaining faulty irrigation systems consumes a majority of staff’s time and resources. Additionally, inefficient irrigation systems can contribute to higher water bills, which currently make up 81% of Golf’s annual utility budget. It is uncertain how much a new irrigation system would reduce utility costs, but using the City of Spokane as an example, they estimate that their new irrigation system reduced water use by one-third. Assuming SLC Golf could see a comparable reduction in both staff time dedicated to repairs, we can assume an overall potential saving of almost $500,000 annually. It is recommended that SLC Golf develop a prioritized irrigation repair and replacement plan. While it is not expected that irrigation systems can be replaced fully in all golf courses, additional methods are being implemented to reduce water costs such as replacing turf grass with low-water species in strategic areas. Prioritizing such investments will help address the cost of water, support ongoing conservation of water, and align with the City’s Water Conservation Plan by reducing water leaks and water use. ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS Golf courses are predominately greenspaces of grasses, shrubs and trees that provide environmental services to Salt Lake City such as cleaning and managing storm water runoff, reducing urban heat island effect, and providing habitat for pollinator species. Innovations in contemporary course management can leverage all these services to provide more environmental benefits to the surrounding city. FUNDING STRATEGIES During the Reimagine Nature engagement, one main point of community feedback expressed that City golf courses are valued assets that need increased investment and upkeep. Similarly to municipal courses in other cities, 1/3 of which operate with a deficit,1 SLC Golf has not been able to generate enough revenue to meet annual operating costs and maintain a reserve for capital repairs and upgrades, resulting in a backlog of deferred repairs and increased maintenance costs. Golf is an Enterprise Fund while the other divisions within the Department receive their funding from the General Fund. As an Enterprise Fund, Golf does not receive any supplemental funding as do other departments funded by the General Fund and is required to cover its annual operating costs and capital repairs with revenue from golf activities. Despite being a city municipal service, Golf is does not generally receive City support, either direct or shared services, from other City departments and divisions such as: • Funding for engineering services (“discounted services”); • Cost of vehicle replacement or new equipment programs; • Urban Forestry with tree care services; 1 https://www.thengfq.com/2019/06/better‐understanding‐municipal‐golf/ • and Equipment from other divisions within Public Lands. The ability to use and share other division resources (and at the same rates as other City divisions) and expertise within the department would lower some operating costs and help Golf fund capital improvements to keep up with maintenance needs. SLC Golf should explore additional revenue opportunities to generate funds for capital improvements such as special packages, branded merchandise, sponsorships and tournaments, and winter-uses such as groomed cross-country skiing. Improving Golf clubhouses and associated amenities to act as community centers and event space would both generate funds and better serve the community. Partnerships options with local restauranteurs or other third-party concessionaires could be one way to fund added amenities such as a restaurant or meeting space. CASE STUDIES: FUNDING STRATEGIES SPOKANE, WASHINGTON: CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECT The City of Spokane conducted a survey in 2017 that sampled 1,200 golfers. The results showed 40- 68% of golfers felt the city should invest in capital improvements and repairs to remain competitive. Spokane Parks and Recreation borrowed $7.5 million from the city to pay for the capital projects and implemented a Facility Improvement Fee at all golf courses to repay the $7.5 million loan for capital investments that was secured in 2018. The collected fees are deposited into a dedicated fund used to pay back the loan. BOISE, IDAHO: GENERAL FUND MODEL The Boise Golf Division, while part of the Parks and Recreation Department, is funded entirely by the General Fund, unlike Salt Lake City and Spokane. For every tax dollar collected, the Parks and Recreation Department receives 12-15%, making Parks the third highest funded department, after only Police and Fire. FORT COLLINS COLORADO: ENTERPRISE FUND MODEL WITH SHARED CITY SERVICES Similar to Salt Lake City, the Golf Division at Fort Collins is an Enterprise Fund. However, it is important to note that while the budget identifies the Golf Division’s expenditures as its own line item (Enterprise Fund), there are other “hidden” costs that Golf shares with other city departments throughout the budget (General Fund). Golf shares many resources with the City and is included in a number of City-wide programs that are funded by the General Fund such as Community Services Administration and Technology Support, the Park-Ranger program, the Horticulture Crew and Fleet fuel and equipment.

CHAPTER FROM IMAGINATION TO REALIZATION Reimagine Nature is a culmination of the collective imagination of the community. Their efforts have laid out bold, innovative ideas that will truly transform Public Lands into working natural assets that provide environmental and social benefits. The community envisions a Public Lands system that is climate resilient, provides habitat, promotes healthy lifestyles and increases equitable access to nature in the city. Realizing these goals will take concentrated effort by Public Lands Staff, and collaborative support and contribution from City departments and the community. This chapter serves as a playbook, outlining steps and actions to achieve plan goals and re-emphasize nature as a centerpiece of Salt Lake City. Chapter Eight: Action Strategies 176 8ACTION STRATEGIES Community members share ideas at an engagement event. Chapter Eight: Action Strategies 17810 Transformational ProjectsFuture Plans by Public Lands and other City Departments that refine supporting policies and strategies with actionable, details, prioritized timelines and strategic planning. NEXT STEPS The Reimagine Nature master plan lays out an inspiring, community- driven vision for the next twenty years that addresses complexities that face public lands from aging infrastructure to climate change. Throughout the listening to over 12,000 stakeholders, the planning team has captured not only the community’s vision for the future but implementation steps. The next step in the process is to create a Public Lands 5-Year Strategic Plan, which will be updated annually by staff. Initial implementation steps have been woven into each of the goal chapters (Sustain, Connect, Welcome, Protect and Grow) as high-level strategies and policies to guide the Public Lands Department over the next decade. Working in tandem with the overall strategies and policies, the plan also lays out ten community- supported transformational projects to root the 20-year vision with on-the-ground improvements. More detailed approaches for action and future planning efforts are included in this chapter, organized by the five goals. Figure 33 summarizes the relationship of master plan elements from vision to implementation components (projects, strategies/policies, plans).

Now more than ever we rely on them for personal health, community identity and civic ideals. It is time for us to plan a bright future by reimagining these spaces together. 5 PROJECT TIMELINE Salt Lake City is developing a new Public Lands Master Plan. As an important first step, the City called on all community members to help reimagine the future of our Public Lands: the nature in our city that enhances the quality of our lives. The Public Lands Master Plan will establish an inspirational framework to guide how we grow and prioritize investments for the next 10-20 years within the three public lands divisions (Parks, Trails & Natural Lands, and Urban Forestry). In acknowledgment of the findings from the 2019 Salt Lake City Parks and Public Lands Needs Assessment that included a statistically valid community survey, this effort will address current challenges to improve our public lands system. The engagement metrics for the year- long process are to connect with 10,000 people that are representative of the city’s demographic makeup. Given the goals of this master plan, it has been given the name, “Reimagine Nature.” Reimagine Nature will use comprehensive, evidence-based analysis, coupled with community engagement, to prioritize and identify transformative projects for Salt Lake City’s public lands. Community engagement for this process is open during three engagement windows: 1-Discover: Foundation of Understanding 2-Reimagine: Visioning Transformational Projects and Priority Actions 3-Transform: Draft and Final Master Plan. This report provides a summary of the first engagement window and how results will inform window 2. Figure 1: On the ground stencils to promote website and survey. WINTER 2020/2021 PHASE I: DISCOVER: FOUNDATION OF UNDERSTANDING SLC PUBLIC LANDS August 26, 2020 Six-Week Community Engagement Window #1 Opens WINTER-SPRING 2021 PHASE II: REIMAGINE: VISIONING TRANSFORMATION Quarter 1-2, 2021: Community Engagement Window #2 SPRING-SUMMER 2021 PHASE III: TRANSFORM: DRAFT AND FINAL MASTER PLAN Quarters 2-3 2021 Final Community Engagement Window #3 6 HOW WE LISTENED • On-line surveys widely advertised; • Pop-up events and intercept interviews; • Organizational partnerships to reach underrepresented groups; and • Digital outreach, which included over 40 social media posts, a paid Facebook ad targeting West Side residents, and an email opt-in form. Figure 2: University of Utah Urban Planning Students Conducting Intercept Interviews The planning team used a multi-pronged approach to engagement that included: 7 ENGAGEMENT METHODS In order to create a unifying vision for Public Lands over the next 10-20 years, the planning team used a multi-pronged approach that included on-line surveys, pop- up events and tactical partnerships to reach typically underrepresented groups. The first window of community engagement launched on August 26, 2020 with an on-line, six-week survey and closed in December 2020 with community stakeholder focus groups. The goal of this window was to create a foundation for understanding, share preliminary ideas for feedback and gather new ideas from the public. Using COVID-19 protocols, the city’s framework for equitable engagement best practices and multiple types of tactics, over 7,000 Salt Lake City community members participated in providing input during ice cream and food truck pop-up events, University of Utah student-led intercept interviews, trailside snack activities and virtual connections by website, email and phone. SURVEY FORMAT An on-line survey translated in English and Spanish consisted of nine content questions and six demographic questions. Much of the survey included multiple choice questions for respondent efficiency and also included a number of open ended question prompts for collection of perceptions and ideas. 3,735 responded to the on-line survey, and 91% of the questions were answered. Intercept interviews were conducted at 44 different locations including local parks, trailheads and businesses. This survey included a few similar multiple choice questions, but had more open ended questions to encourage a dialog and prompt new ideas. OUTREACH AND EDUCATION A graphic snapshot handout, digital graphic and poster were provided to inform of the current state of public lands with data on key trends around stewardship, equity and livability. This section of the report summarizes who we heard from, what areas of Salt Lake City responses came from and other demographic indicators.

More than 70 miles of off-street trails connect residents to parks and natural lands. The urban forest’s street trees are one of the most accessible forms of nature, extending into every neighborhood and business district in the city, resulting in a literal canopy of shade, beauty, socioeconomic, environment and health benefits. Most residents live within a half mile or 10-minute walk to a local park, and that’s important to 97% of people polled. 75% of residents who live on the east side visit parks at least once a month, while 60% of west- siders visit parks once a month. Established in 1881 to be SLC’s “Central Park,” historic Liberty Park is the most visited park in the system. Our natural lands, urban forest and city parks help shape and define our city. Salt Lake City Public Lands is creating a master plan with an ambitious, community-driven vision for the evolution of our public spaces over the next 20 years. Based on the 2019 Needs Assessment, the plan will identify specific, meaningful projects and initiatives that align with Public Lands values of STEWARDSHIP, LIVABILITY AND EQUITY. As appreciation for these places has increased since COVID-19, now more than ever, public lands contribute to our personal health, community identity and civic ideals. It is time for us to plan for a bright future by reimagining these spaces together. For more information visit:REIMAGINENATURESLC.COM By 2050 our temps could rise10° leading to poorer air quality. “There is a real opportunity - to address parks and natural lands as essential elements for better air quality, climate change mitigation, energy efficiency, and environmental justice. Parks can help improve the health of the city.” 2019 SLC Parks and Public Lands Needs Assessment EQUITY livability STEWARDSHIP $85,000 per year to clean up nuisance graffiti. are anticipated to move to SLC by 2040 which will require an additional park space roughly equivalent to Liberty Park. SLC IS HOME TO OVER 196,000 people who speak 80 languagesrepresenting a broad range of socioeconomic backgrounds and cultural heritages. 45% of metro area renters are cost burdened. The master plan includes community engagement windows. The 2019 Needs Assessment will help identify priority areas.Accessibility gaps and trail gaps still exist in all SLC planning areas, and east-west connections across the city are limited. Salt Lake City’s proposed trails, including expansion of the 9-line Trail, will add another 129.4 miles to the system, the equivalent of adding another Jordan River Parkway (the longest paved urban trail in the US). SLC public lands have opportunity to increase biodiversityby adding more natural habitat like recent efforts at Fairmont Park Pond and the Fife Wetland Preserve. 86% snapshot What Values Guide the Plan?Three values guide how we can Reimagine Nature together to increase biodiversity (the richness of different kinds of plants and animals in our public lands) while finding new ways to connect people to green spaces. Equity, or including diverse voices in the master plan process and priorities, aligns as a citywide value emerging from the roundtable discussion on “Geographic Equity, Inclusion, & Belonging.” We are committed to listening to the realities and perceptions of access to public lands from all sides of Salt Lake City to help guide next steps for a more equitable future. Livability, or maintaining SLC’s quality of outdoor life, inspires us to provide more services to residents as the city grows. How can we collectively identify outside-the-box opportunities to use our city’s parks, golf courses, school yards, natural areas and streetscapes to increase public access to nature, trails, sports fields, and public gathering places? Stewardship, or taking care of what we have, is investing in the renewal of our existing city parks, urban forest, natural areas and trails. Stewardship inspires us to preserve habitat so plants and wildlife can thrive and be resilient to impacts of climate change like rising temperatures. Potential actions could be planting 300 new trees in city golf courses or adding butterfly gardens to city parks. Income barriers can limit the amount of leisure time and transportation options people have to enjoy public lands. of SLC population is made up of diverse people who identify themselves as Native Americans, African Americans, Hispanic, Latino, Asian or Pacific Islander. 3 200 community groups have been invited to participate in this process. 30,000+ of public lands assets are in fair to poor condition. of SLC residents who responded to the 2017 Needs Assessment prioritize investments to improve existing parks, trails and natural areas. 35% Nearly 17% of the population is projected to be 65 or older by 2045. City Golf courses maintain over 1,000 acres of open space. As the city grows, how can golf grow as a community partner, serving more of the city population? Over the last 20 years SLC’s urban forests have been in decline. 63% Our 86,500 trees, including 7,000 trees in city golf courses, provide a cooling of summer temps by 6° SLC urban forest hosts 260 species of trees that support biodiversity and improve air quality. 94 ACRES >50% of all global species are at risk of extinction leading to rapid biodiversity loss. Activating underutilized spaces with activities such as outdoor education, guided nature walks, wildflowers and birding would increase park service as the city grows.

The on-line public survey reached 3,735 people while the student intercept interview survey reached 635 people at 44 different locations. The on-line survey reached the most people living in the Capitol Hill, Avenues and East Liberty Park neighborhoods, followed by the Sugar House, Northwest, Eastern Central City, and East Bench neighborhoods. The intercept interviews gathered feedback from different geographic areas than the on-line survey, gathering the most feedback from Sugar House, followed by the West Salt Lake/ Glendale neighborhoods and the Central City neighborhood. The surveys captured input from different demographics. To track if the representation of responses equitably reflected the Salt Lake City community, the planning team compared the on-line public survey demographics to that of Salt Lake City. While the on-line survey did reach a variety of people, respondents were 80% white, a number greater than the City’s demographic composition which is only 73.1% white. To help boost input from people of color, University of Utah students conducted intercept interviews throughout Salt Lake City and Public Lands staff lead focus groups with stakeholder organizations who provide services to underrepresented populations. The intercept interviews were successful at reaching a diverse audience that is more representative of the community’s population. Figure 7 shows the percentage of respondents by race/ethnicity for each survey. Intercept interviews also reached more female respondents, younger respondents, and more lower income representation than the on-line survey. 12 REPRESENTATIVE PARTICIPATION SURVEY DEMOGRAPHICS ASIAN AMERICAN INDIAN BLACK / AFRICAN AMERICAN HISPANIC / LATINO NATIVE HAWAIIAN / PACIFIC ISLANDER WHITE OTHER PREFER NOT TO SAY 3.7% 1.3% 5.5% 14.9% 2.9% 1.5% 5.4% 0.3% 1.4% 0.5% 2.3% 4.0% 21.6% 0.3% 1.5% 65.4% 2.9% 2.4% 80.0% 73.1% 1.2% 3.4% 4.0% INTERCEPT SURVEY SALT LAKE CITY DEMOGRAPHICS PUBLIC SURVEY Figure 7: To track if the representation of responses equitably reflected the Salt Lake City community, the planning team compared the public survey demographics to that of Salt Lake City.

(Select all that apply) Biodiversity, the environment, trails & maintaining existing amenities were themes that emerged among survey respondents. The most chosen actions are highlighted below. Source: 2020 Community Survey (on-line / 3735 total respondents) 17 Respondents were asked to select all that apply to the question “Thinking long-term over the next 10-20 years, what stewardship actions do you think would be most impactful to the public lands that include city parks, urban forests, natural areas and trails?” A list of options followed that was divided into three categories: direct actions, funding, and daily practices. Direct actions that support greater biodiversity and a healthy environment were the most selected. These actions included creating wildflower meadows and pollinator gardens, incorporating Figure 8: Student intercept surveys captured input from 635 members of the community. DIRECT STEWARDSHIP ACTIONS % SELECTED Create wildflower meadows for bees and other pollinators in parks, streets, the cemetery, and golf courses. 69% Incorporate more native, waterwise plants in landscaping. 64% Plant more trees in parks and natural areas 63% Maintain natural-surface trails and improve or expand public access points 57% Add or renovate aged restrooms, playgrounds and other amenities 50% Increase enforcement of activities that degrade natural resources including inappropriate recreation use, predation from cats, exposure to pesticides or other toxins, light and noise pollution. 50% Add and service more bins.47% Increase the frequency of litter clean-up 37% Install better signage in parks, trails and natural areas for wayfinding and interpretation 29% Other ideas for direct action.11% more native and waterwise plants, and planting more trees. Taking care of existing amenities and infrastructure was the next theme that emerged. Maintaining trails, renovating playgrounds and restrooms, preventing degrading activity and adding more waste bins were the next most selected actions. Source: 2020 Community Survey (on-line / 3735 total respondents) 18 Additional ideas/themes from respondents for the stewardship of public lands included.... STEWARDSHIP IDEAS “I would volunteer to clean up parks, paint bathrooms, help with trash and waste disposal I would also donate money to groups that contribute to stewardship of the parks.” “To clean up our air we should invest in advertising and incentives to get people to bike to work or use public transportation.” “Work with school districts on biodiversity education and curriculum including hands on projects to give our youngest citizenry a sense of ownership.” “Encourage non-motorized visitation. Supply and timely service waste receptacles. Landscape with broad ecological goals, e.g. not just trees but flower and open areas that support birds and bees.” “More recycling options.” “Enlist public help by holding trail days and events to help maintain public amenities.” “Host educational events to build land ethics.” Source: 2020 Community Survey (on-line / 3735 total respondents) 19 DAILY PRACTICES CHOICES STEWARDSHIP % SELECTED Support active modes of transportation to reduce carbon footprint (e.g., walking, biking) 71% Expand collaborations with non-profits, schools, community centers, and others to enhance education and stewardship opportunities. 67% Host educational events to build land ethics. 44% Work with City departments to improve capacity and resources to respond to oil spills, wildfire and other environmental emergencies. 42% Support “Friends of the Parks” groups. 40% Create a Biodiversity Advisory Committee composed of public members, technical experts, and staff to guide biodiversity conservation efforts. 40% Develop ranger/ambassador programs 37% Other Ideas to Encourage Daily Practices 4% Funding choices also supported the environment with respondents choosing options to increase habitat blocks and corridors and support riparian health. 54% of respondents chose to fund trail maintenance, supporting the choice action of maintaining trails. Half of respondents also support improving donation processes for public lands. The top selected daily practice for stewardship was to support active modes of transportation. This was the most selected answer among all stewardship options, with 71% support. This confirms support for the trail system as well as methods for reducing carbon footprints. Expanding collaborations with schools and organizations to provide stewardship opportunities, as well as hosting education events to build land ethics were the next top-selected daily practices at 67% and 44%. This indicates a desire for programming as well as volunteer opportunities and community-led efforts. FUNDING CHOICES STEWARDSHIP % SELECTED Acquire additional natural areas to increase size of existing habitat blocks or connect wildlife corridors 65% Acquire lands adjacent to water course to support riparian health and reduce flooding risks 55% Invest in increased maintenance for trails and trail corridors 54% Invest in increased maintenance for priority parks and natural areas 53% Improve the City’s donation process and actively solicit private donations to support stewardship. 50% Add more staff to care for trees 33% Hire a Stewardship Coordinator. 29% Other Ideas for Funding.7% Source: 2020 Community Survey (on-line / 3735 total respondents) Source: 2020 Community Survey (on-line / 3735 total respondents) 20 Q - What do you think would most benefit the livability of Salt Lake City and encourage you to get outside more often? (Pick your top 2) TOP LIVABILITY ACTIONS A thriving urban forest, improving networks for active transportation and investing in neighborhood public lands were seen as the top actions that would improve livability in SLC. • Grow our urban forests • Improve the sidewalk and trail network in order to travel by bike and foot to public lands and everyday destinations like work and school • Invest in neighborhood public lands and amenities that encourage everyday use Source: 2020 Community Survey (on-line / 3735 total respondents)46% 44% 42% 21 Respondents were asked to select their top two choices for the question, “Which of the following system-wide approaches do you think would most benefit the livability (or quality of life) of Salt Lake City and encourage you to get outside more often?” The top selections for livability mirrored themes from the top selections for stewardship. These choices also supported environmental health, trails and active transportation, and investing in places close to home. Twice as many people felt investing in neighborhood parks that encourage everyday use was important for livability than the regional public lands that are destinations. Growing the urban forest to provide shade, clean water and air was the top selection at 46%. This was followed by improving the sidewalk and trail network, selected by 44% of respondents, and investing in neighborhood public lands and amenities, at 42%. Livability choices for improving biodiversity, investing in regional destinations and finding unique urban spaces to utilize for nature and recreation were only selected by under 20% of respondents. This result conflicts with the previous survey results as these options would support the other top choices. This may point to a disconnect between perceptions of how livability is achieved. Figure 9: Student intercept survey taken at the Bonneville Shoreline Trail. LIVABILITY CHOICES % SELECTED Grow our urban forests to help provide shade, clean water and air for our city and neighborhoods. 46% Improve the sidewalk and trail network in order to travel by bike and foot to public lands and everyday destinations like work and school. 44% Invest in neighborhood public lands and amenities that encourage everyday use. 42% Focus on improving environmental health and biodiversity (the richness of different kinds of plants and animals in our public lands). 19% Invest in regional public lands and amenities that create unique destinations. 18% Find outside-the-box opportunities to use our city’s parks, golf courses, school yards, natural areas and streetscapes to increase public access to nature, trails,sports fields, and public gathering places. 16% Other ideas to benefit livability. 4% Source: 2020 Community Survey (on-line / 3735 total respondents) 22 “People are desperate to reconnect with nature, so a focus on encouraging wildlife (especially natives) should be extremely important to SLC.” “Substantially improve tree cover in neighborhoods, parks and natural areas by 50% to compensate for human impacts.” “Add neighborhood opportunities to spend time in water. Salt Lake City is getting hotter summers and one of the key missing public land opportunities for residents is access to water for recreational opportunities.”“More trails closer to home so I and my neighbors don’t have to drive to other places (Millcreek, Draper, Herriman, etc.) for trail running and riding opportunities.” “More bike paths.” “work with schools and young people to come up with ideas about livability and climate change.” “Expand community gardens.” LIVABILITY IDEAS Additional ideas/themes from respondents for the livability of public lands included.... Source: 2020 Community Survey (on-line / 3735 total respondents) 23 TOP EQUITY THEMES Respondents were asked to provide a written answer to the question, “When you imagine our public lands 10-20 years from now, what changes can we make to our public lands system to help serve and include all people more equably?” Top themes from the community survey open ended responses around equity included: • Providing education, activities and programs • Empowering the community • Equitable investment in existing and new Public Lands amenities The intercept interviews and focus groups took a deeper dive into equity related to public lands. The University of Utah students highlighted the following takeaways from these conversations: • Invest In Neighborhood Parks • Cultivate Cultural Representation • Assess West Side vs. East Side Quality • Connect Green Spaces And Support Active Transportation • Promote The Ranger Program Figure 10: Murals in Salt Lake City. 24 “Sidewalks that are truly accessible for all people.” “Provide access to trails via walking, biking and public transportation. increase public transportation services while decreasing the amount of parking lots and spaces that could instead be used as green spaces/urban gardens.” “Rethink and restructure our natural areas to include the contributions, land acknowledgments, and better systems of care of the land by indigenous people.” “Reach out and listen. Specific place-based responses for acts of restoration, maintenance, and development.” “Recruit stewards, rangers/ ambassadors, and volunteers from minority communities near the public lands.” EQUITY IDEAS Additional ideas/themes from respondents to increase equity related to public lands included.... Source: 2020 Community Survey (on-line / 3735 total respondents) Q - When you imagine our public lands 10-20 years from now, what changes can we make to our public lands system to help serve and include all people more equably? (Write in response) 25 “Have signs displayed in 2-3 languages.” “Move beyond ADA baseline requirements & really focus on accessibility like Liberty Park Rotary playground.” “Add more parks and trees to areas west of I-15 and connect those to the parks in the eastern side of SLC through footpaths and bike paths. Hire more BIPOC to work for the public lands system at all levels. Partner with schools and communities of color to encourage use of parks and trails in our public lands. Reduce the amount of land dedicated to golf courses.” “Increased accessibility for all members of society, along with native fauna that calls the space home. So more bike paths, ramps for wheelchairs, inclusive non-gendered bathrooms. For the wild life, creating more pockets of space not meant for human traffic or usage, and planting more native plants essential to their natural habitats.” “A fully integrated trail system through the city so that folks can access trails regardless of where they are.” “Adjust plans to the diverse needs of the neighborhoods. The people near the foothills might desire a different approach than people living in the west side of the city. I think all areas would like great parks, natural open space and better connectivity.” EQUITY IDEAS Additional ideas/themes from respondents to increase equity related to public lands included....

Reimagining neighborhood and urban greenspaces were next on the list of priorities. Q - Please select any of the potential big ideas listed below that excite you or share your own idea. (Select all that apply) OTHER 6% BIG IDEAS Source: 2020 Community Survey (on-line / 3735 total respondents) An initial list of projects were suggested in this question to encourage big thinking. Many of the projects like the Emerald Ribbon Jordan River Parkway and Pioneer Park changes, were older ideas already underway but require a great deal more investment and partnerships to see them completed. Others on the list were ideas that have been shared in the past or city staff have identified as a gap in current approaches, such as an equity mapping tool and neighborhood park design. However, encouraging participants to suggest their own ideas was emphasized. This question received 216 write-in responses and additional open ended questions solicited responses important to this question. The projects that received the highest level of support were those that covered the largest geographic area: the Emerald Ribbon along the Jordan River Parkway, Trails from the Mountains to the Lake and Reimagining Neighborhood Parks. Pioneer Park and a Ranger Ambassador Program may have received the least amount of support because of their limited area of impact. BIG IDEAS % SELECTED Build Salt Lake’s Emerald Ribbon: Turn the Jordan River Parkway into the City’s most active recreation destination space, by investing in tree canopy, grounds maintenance, a recreational paddle trail, and park development, renewal and expansion from the former Seven Peaks Waterpark at the southern boundary to the Regional Athletic Complex on the north end. 58% Trails from the Mountains to the Lake: Extend the City’s growing multi-use and natural surface trail network to connect regional recreation destinations, extending west to the Great Salt Lake Marina and east to the Wasatch Crest Trail with the 9Line/ Transvalley Corridor as the backbone. 54% BIG IDEAS % SELECTED Reimagine Salt Lake City’s mini and neighborhood parks: Small parks evolve to reflect neighborhood identity, provide quality amenities and experiences that reflect unique community desires, and provide better options for recreation, respite and community gathering in neighborhood parks. 49% Reimagine how our citywide Urban Green Spaces can accommodate more public access, provide diverse recreation opportunities, grow food, provide nature. 43% Create a citywide Equity Mapping Tool that identifies areas of the city that do not have as much access to urban forests, natural areas and city parks. Use this tool to help prioritize areas for investment in public lands. 41% Transform Pioneer Park into the city’s most dynamic, programmed, and desirable public space, transforming it into both a neighborhood destination, and a regional amenity for events and gatherings. 23% 30 “I’d love to see public green space more integrated with shopping, restaurants, and housing. It would be really cool to have restaurants overlooking the parks.” “create a diverse array of models for opportunities for residents and visitors to engage in agricultural practices, from the established traditional “one plot per person/ household community garden” to more community cooperative models.” “Create biodiversity hotspots in our parks. Improve native planting. Do more nature programming with signage.” “We need a park at the Fleet Block. We do not have enough parks downtown and this neighborhood is rapidly densifying.” Additional ideas/themes from respondents for big ideas included... “Focus on”creating spaces” in our city parks. Develop community gathering spaces such as cafes, wine bars, places to host events. Example is the Sizzler pad in sugarhouse park. This could be turned into a park cafe with large outdoor grassy eating space.” ADDITIONAL BIG IDEAS BIG IDEAS % SELECTED Implement a citywide Ranger-Ambassador program in the City’s parks, natural areas and open spaces that focuses equally on resource protection and enriching the experience for public land visitors. 23% Other ideas for transformational projects 6% Source: 2020 Community Survey (on-line / 3735 total respondents) 31 “Include in small community natural spaces support and resources for certain citizen science, conservation, or other projects, like a monarch patch, wildlife monitoring, or community food bank garden. Make it accessible to all.” Additional ideas/themes from respondents for big ideas included... “Increase the urban fishery options in Salt Lake City.” “More natural wildlife areas without paved trails. A NY Central Park size park on the West side of the valley.” “Uncover and restore the buried and impaired creeks in the Salt Lake Valley.” “Outdoor classroom and park access for every SLC SD school. All students should be able to access nature as part of their school day. SLC should hire a person to lead this charge and work directly with SLCSD.“ “Add new areas for growing sports such as disc golf. These have grown as a side effect of COVID and are seeing a lot more use.” “Build a Climbing Park.” ADDITIONAL BIG IDEAS Source: 2020 Community Survey (on-line / 3735 total respondents) 32 INTERCEPT INTERVIEW SURVEY Intercept Survey respondents were interviewed at 44 different locations and were asked eight free response questions, seven multiple choice questions, and seven demographic questions. Common themes emerged from the free response questions which are summed up below. Question: “Thinking long-term over the next 10-20 years, what stewardship actions do you think would be most impactful to public lands that include city parks, urban forests, natural areas and trails?” Themes in the responses included renovating restrooms, trail maintenance, supporting active transportation, planting trees, adding waste bins, planting native, water-wise and pollinator gardens, providing volunteer opportunities, providing cultural and educational events, promoting safety through a ranger ambassador program, acquiring additional natural lands, and supporting friends of the parks groups. Question: “Are there ways you can imagine yourself contributing to the stewardship of public lands?” The most common responses included providing volunteer opportunities such as trash clean-up days, tree planting days, and community trail maintenance. Youth groups were mentioned as organizations that would especially benefit from service-oriented activities. Some respondents were also willing to donate money to fund Public Lands or get involved by participating in public meetings related to Public Land’s issues. Question: “Do you avoid, not enjoy, or feel uncomfortable in any city parks?” Themes in the responses indicated that people often do not feel safe in some parks due to homeless encampments, drug use, and a lack of lighting. Question: “When you imagine our public lands 10-20 years from now, what changes can we make to our public lands system to help serve and include all people more equably?” Responses included themes such as having better ADA access, improving the quality of park on the west side, services for the homeless population, and improved access to parks such as free public transportation. Question: “Which 3 words sum up what you think should be big 10-year goals of Salt Lake City Public Lands?” Common words used included safety, sustainable, verde, variety, trees, accessible, conservation, equity, community, clean, fun, protect, renovate, events, open, connected, inclusive, growth, education, Question: “What would make this place (park, trail, natural areas, golf course) better?” Themes in the responses included adding amenities such as lights, water fountains, restrooms, trails in the parks, trees, art, flowers, dog-friendly facilities, trash cans, signage in multiple languages, access to water and food trucks. Question: “What else should be considered in developing the Public Lands Master Plan for natural areas, urban forests and parks?” Common responses included a mixture of responses from previous questions including recommending new amenities, one-word statements such as “equity” and “cleanliness” and recommending new activities, events and volunteer opportunities. 33 LIVABILITY CHOICES % SELECTED Invest in neighborhood public lands and amenities that encourage everyday use. 63% Improve the sidewalk and trail network for travel by bike and foot 54% Focus on improving environmental health and biodiversity (the richness of different kinds of plants and animals in our public lands). 42% Invest in regional public lands and amenities that create unique destinations. 35%TRANSPORTATION TO PUBLIC LANDS CHOICES % SELECTED Car/Carpool 64% Walk 22% Bike/Skateboard/Scooter 9% Other 2% BARRIERS TO PUBLIC LANDS CHOICES % SELECTED N/A 45% Places are too crowded 25% Safety or security concerns 22% Not accessible to those with disabilities, health or mobility challenges. 5% PUBLIC LANDS IMPORTANCE CHOICES % SELECTED Extremely Important 85% Somewhat Important 12% Indifferent 2% Unimportant .03% Responses to multiple choice questions in the Intercept Interview reflected that public lands are extremely important to the community. Almost half of respondents did not perceive that there were barriers preventing them from accessing public lands. One interesting observation is that 64% of respondents traveled to the park or trailhead location by car, however over half of the respondents thought that improving the sidewalk and trail network for travel by bike and foot would improve the livability of Salt Lake City. Responses to multiple choice questions from the Intercept Interview Survey are displayed in the following tables.

As an important first step, the City called on all community members to help reimagine the future of our Public Lands: the nature in our city that enhances the quality of our lives. 5 PROJECT TIMELINEThe Public Lands Master Plan will establish an inspirational framework to guide how we grow and prioritize investments for the next 10-20 years within the three public lands divisions (Parks, Trails & Natural Lands, and Urban Forestry). In acknowledgment of the findings from the 2019 Salt Lake City Parks and Public Lands Needs Assessment that included a statistically valid community survey, this effort will address current challenges to improve our public lands system. The engagement metrics for the year- long process are to connect with 10,000 people that are representative of the city’s demographic makeup. Given the goals of this master plan, it has been given the name, “Reimagine Nature.” Reimagine Nature will use comprehensive, evidence-based analysis, coupled with community engagement, to prioritize and identify transformative projects for Salt Lake City’s public lands. Community engagement for this process consists of three engagement windows: 1-Discover: Foundation of Understanding 2-Reimagine: Visioning Transformational Projects and Priority Actions 3-Transform: Draft and Final Master Plan. Engagement window one was conducted from August through December of 2020. Results from this first round of engagement identified concepts and ideas that most resonated with the community to support Public Lands’ values of promoting equity, livability and sustainability. Engagement window one also gathered community ideas for Master Plan goals and projects and measured community support for initial transformative projects identified from previous community feedback and research gathered in the 2019 Public Lands Needs Assessment. The Master Plan framework, including refined goals and transformative projects, was developed from feedback received in engagement window one. REPORT FOCUS This engagement period, engagement window two, was held from March through May of 2021. Engagement window two gathered feedback on the Master Plan framework to verify that the plan was developing in the right direction and had community support. Engagement Window two served as a check point to identify any important information that may be missing from the Master Plan. This report summarizes the second engagement window and how results will inform the master plan and engagement window three. WINTER 2020/2021 PHASE I: DISCOVER: FOUNDATION OF UNDERSTANDING SLC PUBLIC LANDS August 26, 2020 Six-Week Community Engagement Window #1 Opens WINTER-SPRING 2021 PHASE II: REIMAGINE: VISIONING TRANSFORMATION March 17 - May 7 2021: Community Engagement Window #2 SUMMER-FALL 2021 PHASE III: TRANSFORM: DRAFT AND FINAL MASTER PLAN Quarter 3 2021 Final Community Engagement Window #3 6 HOW WE LISTENED • On-line survey widely advertised; • Student-led micro-engagement events; • Facebook Live events in English and Spanish • Organizational partnerships to reach underrepresented groups; and • Digital outreach, including 230 social media posts, a paid Facebook ad targeting West Side residents, and 3 newsletters. Figure 2: University of Utah Urban Planning Students conducting intercept interviews to increase online survey participation. The planning team used a multi-pronged approach to engagement that included: 7 ENGAGEMENT METHODS In order to create a unifying vision for Public Lands over the next 10-20 years, the planning team used a multi-pronged approach that included an on-line survey, focus groups, micro-engagement events and community partnerships to reach typically underrepresented groups. The second window of community engagement launched on April 1, 2021 with an on-line, six-week survey and closed on May 10, 2021. The goal of this window was to get feedback on the initial Master Plan framework, including the Plan vision statement, goals, and potential transformative projects. Using COVID-19 protocols, the city’s framework for equitable engagement best practices and multiple types of tactics, over 12,000 Salt Lake City community members participated in providing input during online focus groups, University of Utah student-led intercept interviews and micro-engagement events, and through the online survey. SURVEY FORMAT An on-line survey offered in both English and Spanish consisted of 15 content questions and six demographic questions. Much of the survey included multiple choice questions for respondent efficiency and also included two open ended question prompts for collection of perceptions and ideas. 3,318 people responded to the on-line survey, and 65% of the questions were answered. Students from the University of Utah City and Metropolitan Planning Department passed out postcards and invited people to take the survey at 38 different locations including parks, libraries, open spaces and trails. OUTREACH AND EDUCATION Signs with a link to the online survey and Reimagine Nature website were posted at parks, natural lands and trails throughout the city. Other print materials advertising the project were distributed city-wide including, 1,380 postcards, 230 Reimagine posters, 115 social media posts and 500 door hangars. Other innovative advertising methods, such as temporary sidewalk art painted onto the pavement were fun ways to spread the word about ongoing Reimagine activities. The following pages summarize who we heard from, what areas of Salt Lake City responses came from and the demographics of engagement participants.

STUDENT ENGAGEMENT Students from the University of Utah Urban and Metropolitan Planning Department were instrumental in promoting awareness of Reimagine Nature. Along with Public Land’s Staff, students distributed 1,380 postcards, 230 Reimagine posters, 230 Earth Day event posters, 920 Earth Day Event flyers, and 500 door hangers to advertise the project and survey including reaching out 94 businesses in the process. In addition, the students held micro-engagement events including four placemaking events and an Earth Day event. SOCIAL MEDIA OUTREACH Students also made posts on social media to promote the online survey through social media engagement. Facebook was the primary social media platform used for outreach. Overall, social media efforts reached many people with over 84 posts, 226 likes, 20 comments, and 18 shares throughout the social media platform. STUDENT MICRO-ENGAGEMENT EVENTS Multiple micro-engagement events invited the community to come out and communicate through fun and thoughtful activities. Placemaking workshops visualized the wants of the community through the aid of simple physical models. Wayfinding and Paint the pavement workshops gathered community members to gain input on mural painting and wayfinding methods. A tree planting and pollinator workshops discussed species to be planted, planting locations and possible “friends of popular grove park” establishment. The findings of the workshop helped narrowed down the approaches and possibilities for interventions. As well as maximized the opportunities for feedback and community engagement. 9 STUDENT ENGAGEMENT ACTIVITIES PAINT THE PAVEMENT Community members discussed access and wayfinding, and directed the creation of a pavement mural. TREE & POLLINATOR PLANTING Workshop participants discussed suitable park plants and identified locations for planting and park elements such as a Reimagined park with flower beds by the tennis court, flowering trees for shade near the playground and a cared for horseshoe activity area. PLACE IT WORKSHOP In this virtual engagement event, urban planner James Rojas asked participants to build their favorite childhood memory using nearby objects and build their vision of park using the same objects. EARTH DAY EVENT Participants volunteered to clean the park and pick up litter, provided feedback on the Master Plan, and took the survey.

As only approximately 63% of survey respondents answered the question asking what their zip code is, it is difficult to accurately assess which neighborhoods survey participants are from. However, the overall survey distribution by zip code of survey number two closely mirrors the distribution of survey number one. The map on page 11 shows which neighborhoods were reached by zip code. The East Liberty Park, Capitol Hill and Avenues neighborhoods had the highest number of recorded survey respondents, followed by the East Bench, Sugarhouse and Central City neighborhoods. Downtown, East Central, West Salt Lake, North West Salt Lake, and Liberty Wells were in the middle range of number of survey respondents, and the Ballpark neighborhood as well as west and southern portions of the Central Community planning area had the lowest number of survey respondents. DIVERSITY OF SURVEY PARTICIPANTS During engagement window one, students from the University of Utah played a key role in reaching a diverse survey audience that is more representative of the community’s population. They increased diverse participation by visiting sites throughout Salt Lake City where they shared information about the project and invited people to take the online survey. Students also participated in Public Lands staff-lead focus groups with stakeholder organizations who provide services to underrepresented populations. During the second engagement window, the students promoted the online survey rather than a separate intercept survey, so the dataset was not split up in a way to compare the demographics of student-promoted survey participants. However, in comparing the public online surveys from the first and second windows of engagement, survey number two shows an increase in participant diversity. The participation among nearly all minority groups doubled from survey number one to survey number two, indicating that the student-led activities were likely a big contributing factor to increasing the diversity of survey and engagement participation. 14 REPRESENTATIVE PARTICIPATION SURVEY DEMOGRAPHICS ASIAN AMERICAN INDIAN BLACK / AFRICAN AMERICAN HISPANIC / LATINO NATIVE HAWAIIAN / PACIFIC ISLANDER WHITE OTHER PREFER NOT TO SAY 5.4% 1.4% 2.3% 21.6% 1.5% 73.1% 3.4% 1.5% 0.3% 0.5% 4.0% 0.3% 80.0% 1.2% 4.0% PUBLIC SURVEY 1 SALT LAKE CITY DEMOGRAPHICS 2.2% 1.3% 1.4% 8.2% 0.5% 76.3%76.3% 2.4% 7.7% PUBLIC SURVEY 2 Figure 14: The online survey conducted during engagement window two was more successful at reaching a diverse audience that is more representative of the community’s population. This is an improvement from the previous online survey conducted during engagement window one. The chart above compares the diversity of survey participants for both online surveys. To help boost input from people of color, University of Utah students conducted micro-engagement events and outreach throughout Salt Lake City and Public Lands staff led focus groups with stakeholder organizations who provide services to underrepresented populations. FINDINGS Targeted engagement improved the diversity of survey respondents, with minority participation in survey two increasing an average of 232% from that of survey one. 15 WHAT WE HEARD The focus of engagement window two was to gather feedback and input on the Master Plan framework, including refined goals and initial transformative projects ideas. It also served as a check point with the community and stakeholders to verify that the Master Plan was developing in the right direction, had community support, and provided an opportunity to contribute any important ideas that may be missing from the Master Plan. The following pages cover the responses received from the community through the online survey, focus groups and micro-engagement events that comprised engagement window number two. 16 VISION STATEMENT REIMAGINE NATURE PLAN VISION STATEMENT: Reimagine Nature provides transformative ideas that have the ability to heighten our Public Lands’ impact on the city’s livability, equity, and stewardship over the next 20 years. Our natural lands, urban forest, city parks and city golf courses are cared for to be resilient for increasing environmental challenges, and also innovatively adapted to meet the diverse needs of our growing population. We aspire to create and sustain quality outdoor spaces that are inclusive, accessible, and culturally relevant; ensuring everyone benefits from fair and appropriate investment.

PLAN GOALS Feedback from the first survey and stakeholder conversations led tothe prioritization of these five overarching goals for what the Public Lands Master Plan should seek to achieve or improve. These goals will be used as an organizing frameworkfor recommended strategies, practices and actions. 1. Connect: Accessible and Connected Green Spaces 2. Welcome: Active, Authentic and Inclusive Places 3. Protect: A Commitment to Stewardship 4. Grow: Expand our Park System 5.

Each question was prefaced with a project description and potential project strategies that could contribute to the overarching transformative project. The chart on page x compares the percent of respondents that indicated they were somewhat or extremely satisfied with the transformative projects. The projects that received the most selections for respondents being extremely satisfied were grow our urban forest at 71% and put environment first at 70%. These were followed by connect mountains to the lake at 65%, meet me at the river at 62% and downtown comes alive outside at 61%. These responses indicate strong support for environmental enhancements of Salt Lake City’s public lands, a desire for increased system connectivity and access to trail- based recreation, and the need to activate downtown with more green spaces. While the projects just five minutes from here and telling our stories only had 38% and 47% of respondents indicting they were extremely satisfied, the majority of respondents were still either somewhat satisfied or extremely satisfied, with 77% indicating some level of satisfaction for both projects. This demonstrates that there is overall community support for the ten transformative projects, with between 77% and 92% of respondents indicating some level of satisfaction for the projects and only 10% or less of respondents indicating some level of dissatisfaction. The following pages show these descriptions and respondent satisfaction levels for each project.

These questions were designed to gain insight into community priorities for each project, highlighting which projects should happen right away and which projects should be prioritized because they are the most impactful and provide value. When comparing urgency versus importance, two projects stood out significantly as being both the most urgent and most important. Put environment first was ranked the highest by survey respondents in both categories, with 73% ranking it as very important 72% ranking it as very urgent. The next highest-ranking project was grow our urban forest, with 71% ranking it as very important and 68% ranking it as very urgent. This again reinforces the community’s desire for using sustainable principles in managing Public Lands and improving the local environment with natural amenities. These projects also were viewed as significant and held high support with focus group participants. Overall, the question responses show that all projects are valued by the community. When combining the selections for medium urgency and very urgent, the 10 transformative projects were selected by between 56% and 94% of respondents as being urgent. The combined selections for project importance show that the 10 transformative projects were selected by between 70% and 95% of respondents as important. TOP CHOICES FOR OVERALL IMPORTANCE: 1.

This has raised the importance of reaching underrepresented communities during the engagement process. To understand more about how individual communities can be best served by Public Lands, survey responses were sorted by neighborhood to target responses from areas that have higher concentrations of underrepresented populations including minority populations, older and younger populations, and lower income populations. Survey responses from the Northwest, West Salt Lake and the northern and western portions of the Central Community are displayed below. Like the overall survey results, survey respondents from these neighborhoods consistently chose “put environment first” and “grow our urban forest” as both the most urgent and most important of the ten transformative projects. The Central Community respondents rated these with the highest percentages of very important, with 81% for “grow our urban forest” and 78% for “put environment first.” This is compared to 73% and 71 % respectively in the overall survey. The next highest rankings for project urgency and importance corresponded geographically with the location of the neighborhoods, with the Northwest and West communities selecting “reimagine neighborhood parks,” “meet me at the river,” and “connect mountains to the lake” and the Central community selecting “downtown comes alive outside,” “reimagine neighborhood parks” and “connect mountains to the lake.” This shows a support for investments that will directly enhance natural amenities close to home, such as the Jordan River Parkway and Downtown parks while also increasing park, open space and trail connectivity city-wide.

The first question “What changes would you suggest, if any, to the Vision or Goals?” received roughly 120 responses that expressed positive support for the vision and goals statements. 238 comments suggested changes to the vision and goal statement language. 107 comments suggested additions to the vision or goal statements. The remainder of comments were an assortment of specific strategies suggested to support the goals, the most common ones listed here in order of occurrences: • Environmental/natural resources/habitat; • Golf courses; • Park feature requests; • Trails; and • Unhoused populations management. The second open ended question was more general, asking if there is anything else to consider or include in the Master Plan. Roughly 100 comments expressed appreciation for the plan or had no additional considerations. Some themes within the comments included critique for the project public engagement process, details for the Transformational Projects, priorities to emphasize or desire for more clarity about funding/timelines. The remainder of comments covered a wide variety of topics, the most common ones listed here in order of occurrences: • Park feature requests (such as dog parks/off-leash, restrooms, water recreation features, signage, concessions, ADA accessibility and more); • Trails; • Golf courses; • Management/maintenance/safety; • Environmental interests (water conservation, air quality, energy conservation, native plants/invasive species, climate change resilience, light pollution, wildlife habitat, pesticides and more); • Trees; • Unhoused populations; • Desire for additional parks and open space conservation; • Connecting to green spaces through trails and public transportation; • Education and programs; and • Urban farming, gardens, and edible forests. 35 “I think the vision statement should include explicit language on climate change.” “I’m concerned about allowing people and off leash dogs on golf courses. There are plenty of stray balls- injuring those that happen to be walking near by would not be unusual if you open these spaces up.” “Since more people are using the outdoors, education on how to treat and take care of it is essential.” “safety for marginalized and over policed communities. for black and brown people public spaces are not always safe (RIP Trayvon Martin, Tamir Rice, Darren Hunt and many more). part of access for these communities is assurance that they wont get shot or arrested just for existing in public spaces while being a person of color. some sort of police and emergency service outreach to ensure this message is heard would be appropriate.” SURVEY COMMENTS “More emphasis on making areas bike and bus friendly and reducing the need to drive to parks.” 36 “Emphasizing the removal of invasive species (especially trees) from all public lands to further spread into natural or wilderness areas.” “Consider senior and disabled people when you reimagine parks.” “Consider the water needs of current and future vegetation; make plans that reduce water use with native and adaptive species while adding trees and other plants.” SURVEY COMMENTS “Require that all new apartment building complexes have green spaces as part of their design.” “Increased educational trips into the foothills by school age children.” “Please consider the plants as more than just beautifying landscape for people. Nature isn’t just a setting for human activity.” 37 “Honoring native/ indigenous people and land.” “Espero que se preste más atención a los aspectos medioambientales.” “Food forest! Preserve the last remaining orchards and increase free food abundance in our urban areas.” “Recognizing recreational practices of all cultures.” “BATHROOMS at trails and parks.” “MORE DOG PARKS!!!!!!” SURVEY COMMENTS “You need food at the parks. A few restaurant spaces at each of the big parks would CHANGE how people use the park. Incorporate families and eating and I’ll be there every weekend.” 38 HOW INPUT WILL BE USED The survey feedback relayed that the Master Plan framework, vision, goals and transformative projects are on the right track, direct Public Land’s investments and strategies over the next 10- 20 years and have support from the community. Survey input will inform the refining of Master Plan projects, strategies and actions and help to prioritize plan goals and the ten transformative projects. 39 COMMUNITY INPUT ON MASTER PLAN ELEMENTS 40 NEXT STEPS: • Master Plan review by Parks, Natural Lands, Urban Forestry and Trails Board. • Master Plan review by City Council. • Explore prioritization methods using community feedback and value lenses of equity, livability and stewardship. • City review and adoption process.

However, the scope, scale and form that implementation of these strategies take will be determined through development of individual projects and initiatives; the Master Plan itself does not have specific budgetary impacts. BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: From 2020 through 2021, Salt Lake City Public Lands has worked to develop a new Public Lands Master Plan, which has been given the name “Reimagine Nature.” The master plan will provide a guiding vision for the City’s four Public Lands Divisions (Parks, Trails & Natural Lands, Urban Forestry, and Golf) and will establish an inspirational framework to guide how Public Lands will grow and prioritize investments for the next 10-20 years. Reimagine Nature uses comprehensive, evidence-based analysis, coupled with community engagement, to address current challenges, improve our public lands system, and prioritize and identify transformative projects for Salt Lake City’s public lands. DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC LANDS 1965 WEST 500 SOUTH WWW.SLCGOV.COM TEL:801-972-7800 Lisa Shaffer 04/30/2022 04/30/2022 Page 2 of 3 Reimagine Nature proposes big ideas to transform and sustain quality outdoor spaces that are safe, welcoming and walkable and ensure people, wildlife and ecosystems benefit from fair investment of Salt Lake City resources over the next 20 years. Three foundational values provide the basis for Reimagine Nature and its recommendations: a culture of stewardship to protect wildlife, trees, mountains, lakes, rivers and scenic views; improving livability in SLC in the face of the impacts of climate change and population growth; and providing greater equity in the way the community has access to close-to-home, high-quality green spaces. Reimagine Nature is organized around five principal goals the Public Lands Department aims to prioritize over the next 20 years: (1) Environmental Health and Sustainability; (2) Accessible and Connected Green Spaces; (3) Active, Authentic and Inclusive Places; (4) A Commitment to Stewardship; and (5) Expanding our Public Lands. The goals of the plan are further supported by strategies, policies and tangible action steps to guide transformational change, as well as ten proposed ‘transformative projects’ to implement the vision of Reimagine Nature. PUBLIC PROCESS: Community engagement for the master plan process used a multi-pronged approach that included an online survey, focus groups, micro-engagement events and community partnerships to reach typically underrepresented groups. Using COVID-19 protocols, the city’s framework for equitable engagement best practices, and multiple types of tactics, the team connected with over 12,000 Salt Lake City community members, providing input during online focus groups, University of Utah student-led intercept interviews and micro-engagement events, and through an online survey. A detailed description of the engagement process, including a summary of who provided feedback, and what they told the city, can be found in the Engagement Summaries at www.ReimagineNatureSLC.com. In brief, the engagement process consists of three engagement windows, the first two of which are complete: Engagement Window 1: Building a Foundation of Understanding Engagement Window 1 was conducted from August through December of 2020. Results from this first round of engagement identified concepts and ideas that most resonated with the community to support Public Lands’ values of promoting equity, livability and sustainability. Engagement window one also gathered community ideas for Reimagine Nature goals and projects and measured community support for initial transformative projects identified from previous community feedback and research gathered in the 2019 Public Lands Needs Assessment. The Reimagine Nature framework, including refined goals and transformative projects, was developed from feedback received in Engagement Window 1. Engagement Window 2: Visioning Transformational Projects and Priority Actions Engagement Window 2 was held from March through May of 2021. Engagement Window 2 gathered feedback on the Reimagine Nature framework to verify that the plan was developing in the right direction and had community support. Engagement Window 2 served as a check point to identify any important information that may have been missing from Reimagine Nature. Engagement Window 3: Final Master Plan Adoption This engagement period will occur as the City Council takes up consideration of formally adopting Reimagine Nature as a city master plan for Public Lands , and is expected to occur during February and March of 2022. Engagement during this phase will be led primarily by City Council staff, with outreach support from Public Lands. Page 3 of 3 NEXT STEP: The City Council will lead the Master Plan adoption process for Reimagine Nature in the first months of 2022. The Reimagine Nature project team, including Public Lands staff and the lead consultant Design Workshop, are prepared to brief the City Council on Reimagine Nature and support public engagement during the adoption process as requested by the City Council. Following adoption of Reimagine Nature, Public Lands will work to organize its year -by-year actions and project priorities around the recommendations of Reimagine Nature. Public Lands is requesting support in the FY23 CIP process for development of a five-year strategic plan that will identify the specific projects, initiatives, activities, and organizational focus areas that will facilitate and accelerate plan implementation in the near-term.

Public Engagement Reports B. 2019 Needs Assessment CONTENTS ix REIMAGINE NATURE Letter from Mayor Erin Mendenhall Salt Lake City’s natural realm is a shared sanctuary for people, ecologies and wildlife - a legacy landscape shaped by Native Americans, pioneers, flora and fauna including 72 mammal species of the Wasatch Front, and nearly 200,000 city residents represented by 120 diverse spoken languages. While the mountains, plains, wetlands and Great Salt Lake of the valley inspire humankind and provide wildlife habitat, impacts from climate change, poor air quality, increasing population, historic drought and aging infrastructure threaten the city’s ability to protect nature. Throughout the city there are disparate levels of engagement in the outdoors, requiring attention to differing interests, needs, access, and investments. We must intentionally correct for historic racism and classism and providing people access to opportunities across the city so as not to inherently perpetuate disparities. The state of the city’s extraordinary public lands is at a crossroads and all these factors create a need for a bold and transformational plan to guide us. The first citywide public lands master plan in 29 years, Reimagine Nature delivers a vision for the next 20 years and is informed by over 12,000 community members who shared hopes and dreams for play, civic pride, nature, outdoor fitness, greening, and more in the city. The public process elevated conversations of transitioning Public Lands from a Division to a City Department that would allow for a more robust planning arm focused on projects and ecological services. Salt Lake City’s Public Lands Department will now include two collaborative groups to support the planning and operations of the four divisions of parks, trails and natural lands, golf and urban forestry. This move also supports the four objectives of my 2021 Plan: Recharge, Reset, Rebound in keeping pace with the city’s growth, leading environmental stewardship, listening equitably to our communities and supporting employee well-being. Coinciding with the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, public engagement required adaptation, creativity, and support from the many community partners and advocates that we thank for their immeasurable contributions as ambassadors. Through this health crisis we witnessed increased visitation to public lands, learning that parks were a refuge to many – a community asset for resilience and essential service. Reimagine Nature reflects core community values for public lands: equity, stewardship and livability. Conversations around equity in public lands reflect nationwide and neighborhood trends to provide additional resources to public spaces and programs serving low and middle-income households who often struggle to access quality natural experiences as part of their daily lives. Calls for stewardship of public lands came across emphatically with desires to take care of what we have and protect invaluable pieces of our natural community. Concerns for the livability of Salt Lake City are also top of mind in the midst of many environmental and climate challenges, rising cost of living, urgent social issues of homelessness and keeping up with population growth. With dedication, passion, and foresight to conserve Salt Lake City’s greatest natural asset, it is our hope that this document directs us in responsibly managing the public’s lands and waters in ways that honor community aspirations and support thriving plants and wildlife. The next page provides a summary snapshot of the plan’s key elements. Sincerely, Mayor Erin Mendenhall Natural lands along the Jordan River provide essential riparian habitat.

LOOKING FORWARD TO A GREENER HORIZON We have a heightened awareness that complex factors such as ecological systems, historical influence, and social equity impact planning for Salt Lake City’s Public Lands. Reimagine Nature is an opportunity to redefine approaches for the City’s parks, trails, golf courses and natural lands as environmental and social assets. It sets forth a vision for Public Lands to champion initiatives that improve air quality, address public health disparities, make a more resilient future in the face of climate change and provide green space to balance rapid urban development. Chapter One: Introduction 4 Figure 1: Planning Process Timeline PLAN HORiZON 2020-2040 Salt Lake City’s 88 parks, 86,500 urban forest trees, six golf courses and thousands of acres of natural landscapes are the culmination of more than a century of committed care and preservation. As Salt Lake City welcomes another 30,000 residents over the next 20 years (by 2040) and as the diversity and health of our city’s nature is threatened by the impacts of climate change, a plan to grow and protect public lands and the quality of life those natural landscapes afford to all living things is needed. This plan provides a vision to aspire to for the next two decades and outlines specific direction for near-term actions. PLANNiNG PROCESS Reimagine Nature is one component of a larger planning effort to direct the future of SLC Public Lands. The planning process includes the 2019 Needs Assessment,1 an inventory of the Public Lands system; Reimagine Nature, which outlines goals and strategies; and will be completed with detailed Public Lands 5-Year Strategic Plans, a series of 5-year 1 https://www.slcdocs.com/parks/SLCPLNeedsAssessment.pdf IT’S IN OUR NATURE working plans updated annually by Public Lands Staff. A comprehensive community engagement process informed every step of the plan development, including a statistically valid resident survey and other outreach to inform the 2019 Needs Assessment.2 Community member, technical expert, partner staff and stakeholder input guided the Reimagine Nature plan content through the course of the planning process.

The Great Salt Lake remains the last remnant of Lake Bonneville in the Intermountain West and frames the northwest part of the city. The Wasatch Mountains stand sentinel to the east and north and the Oquirrh Mountains (pronounced “oaker”) to the west. This geologic history gives shape and form to the present-day landscapes of the city’s Great Basin, marshlands, mudflats, ancient lakebed benches, drainages and cottonwood galleries, foothills, narrow canyons and mountain peaks, some of which rise 6,000 feet from the basin floor. THE HiSTORY OF PEOPLE AND PLACE Five tribes including the Shoshone, Piute, Ute, Goshute and Navajo inhabited the territory that later became Utah. The lands where desert meets lake and surrounding wetlands adjacent to Salt Lake City hosted American Indian habitation beginning 10,000 years ago through European settlement. Explorers, Mormon settlers, farmers and miners heading to the California gold rush traveled to present day Salt Lake City in the Salt Lake City’s natural lands, urban forest, city parks and golf landscapes reflect the scenic beauty of the Great Salt Lake ecosystem and are the culmination of more than a century of preservation and cultivation since the city’s founding in 1847 . PAST & PRESENT SLC PUBLiC LANDS DEPARTMENT MiSSiON & viSiON MISSION: What We Do We enhance the livability of the urban environment through a diverse network of natural open spaces, recreational opportunities, park facilities, city golf landscapes, the city cemetery and the urban forest to ensure that the resources under our management are carefully stewarded for future generations. VISION: What We Aspire to Achieve A vibrant system of connected public landscapes and living infrastructure that enhances the community’s identity, sense of place and quality of life. mid-1800s. Settlers laid out tree- lined city streets in a Jeffersonian- grid originating on the southeast corner of Temple Square and the city’s earliest parks, including the 10-acre, square-shaped Pioneer Park, follow this form. The city acquired additional parks and natural areas in the surrounding foothills and along creeks and rivers - within neighborhoods and as larger regional and community destination parks. The natural and cultural histories of this place are embedded in the parks, trails, urban forest, natural areas and bucolic golf landscapes which remain today and enhance the quality of life for current-day residents. Public Lands are integral and essential to life in Salt Lake City. Fishing at Fairmont Pond. Walking, jogging and hiking are top activities in areas managed by the Trails and Natural Lands Division such as the Fife Wetland Preserve and the 6,423-acres of Foothills Natural Area, canyons and foothills bordering the northern and eastern limits of SLC. More than 70 miles of off-street trails connect residents to parks and natural lands. The urban forest’s street trees are one of the most accessible forms of nature, extending into every neighborhood and business district in the city, resulting in a literal canopy of shade, beauty, socioeconomic, environment and health benefits. Most residents live within a half mile or 10-minute walk to a local park, and that’s important to 97% of people polled. 75% of residents who live on the east side visit parks at least once a month, while 60% of west-siders visit parks once a month. Established in 1881 to be SLC’s “Central Park,” historic Liberty Park is the most visited park in the system. SLC Public Lands six municipal golf courses are the newest addition to the public lands management. These spaces create opportunities for the community to exercise in nature, while also providing critical open space within the City that helps clean the air and reduce urban temperatures and provides shelter for urban wildlife.

REI MAGI NE NATURE SLC PUBLIC LANDS MASTER PLAN NATURAL LANDS CI TY PARKS l~ICITY URBAN FOREST □ • • Chapter One: Introduction 12 CHALLENGES COMPLEx iSSUES Today Salt Lake City’s urban nature faces many challenges: rapid degradation to ecological systems exacerbated by climate change, lingering social inequities from historic zoning and planning decisions, unhealthy environmental factors like poor air quality fueled by expanding population, competing priorities for limited city funding, rapid development downtown and the urgent need to redefine green space. The Reimagine Nature master plan vision is shaped by an understanding of the environmental and social challenges facing public lands. Salt Lake City’s Public Lands are increasingly under pressure from the impacts of climate change including record heat, volatile weather, drought and some of the worst air quality in the nation. The environmental pressures impact nature today and in the future. A 2019 climate study predicts Salt Lake City’s summers could feel more like Las Vegas by 2050, a change that would drastically impact the city’s plants and wildlife.3 The city has been experiencing an extreme drought of historic proportion, prompting a state of emergency called in 2020 by Utah’s governor and creating 3 Crowther Lab, https://journals.plos.org/ plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0217592 Air pollution inversion over the Salt Lake Valley. a need for solutions that support nature in the absence of water resources. The September 2020 wind storm (derecho) blew down 1,300 trees in the city and over a dozen parks shut down temporarily for clean-up activities. Many of these mature trees reflect decades of care and provided valued shade. Since their earliest establishment more than a century ago, the City’s parks, trails, and public green space have been promoted as places of refuge from the nuisances of city life with goals of addressing a host of social woes. However, encampments of unhoused people within public properties and their removal have often brought in to question this premise. Throughout this process the most common topic raised was concern and a spectrum of approaches suggested for public lands and people experiencing homelessness. It is clear that housing dispersal of unhoused individuals throughout the city has caused more people to feel discomfort, witness challenges with social interactions and/or environmental degradation of spaces people are occupying for their survival. The graphic below is a past public relations informational campaign that was used to help build comfort with interactions and expresses that parks cannot solve for homelessness alone, but must take a compassionate approach for collective response. SALT LAKE CiTY GROWTH SLC is home to over 196,000 people representing a broad range of socioeconomic backgrounds and cultural heritages that include over 80 spoken languages. The 2019 Needs Assessment estimates that this “population Many of the city’s mature shade trees were lost in the 2020 wind storm.Figure 4: 2018 SLC Parks and Homelessness Public Relations Campaign.

The questions of who can walk to public lands, who can afford to travel to public lands, who has the leisure time to enjoy public lands and what languages and social cues welcome different groups to public lands have also been asked during the 2019 Needs Assessment and the Reimagine Nature community process. Nationally, best practices encourage reflecting on these be required to meet future park needs at the same level of service as today. However, Utah is growing faster than projections made during the Needs Assessment and it is likely that the city will need to be innovative and do even more than previously reported to meet increasing demand. PUBLiC LANDS SERviCE GAPS The 2019 Needs Assessment analyzed the public’s needs and desires for public lands and performed different types of analysis mappings to understand where gaps may exist. The assessment found gaps (visible doubles during the daytime, due to individuals coming into the city to work.”4 The City’s parks and surrounding natural areas create a desirable quality of life drawing a projected future population growth of an additional 30,000 people moving to Salt Lake City by 2040. Additionally, Salt Lake City’s population is aging and becoming more diverse. The 2019 Needs Assessment found that the majority of city residents live within a half mile of a park, natural land or trail and parks are well distributed. The study also noted that 94 acres of new park land will 4 2019 SLC Public Lands Needs Assessment !A !A !A !A!A !T !T !T !A !A !A!A !A !A!A !A!T !A !A !A !A !T !A !A !T !A!A!A !T!T !T!A !T !T!A !A!A !A !T !A !A !A !A !A !A !A !A !A !T HogleZoo TempleSquare UniversityofUtah International Center Salt LakeInternationalAirport City Creek Canyon Red ButteCanyonSouth Temple St 1700 S 700 E1700 EF o o t h i l l D r Par l e y ' s W a y 2100 SBangerter Hwy1700 S1700 S5600 W7200 WNorth Temple St 1200 WBe c k S t 600 N 500 S California Ave 2100 SRedwood Rd700 WWest Temple St1300 E11th Ave 500 S Sunnyside Dr 1300 S State StHigh land Dr2100 E§¨¦80 §¨¦15 §¨¦15 §¨¦80 §¨¦80 §¨¦215 Salt LakeRegionalAthleticComplex LibrarySquare LibertyPark Sugar HousePark Jordan Park/Peace Gardens RiversidePark RosewoodPark ConstitutionPark SunnysidePark MemoryGrove Park CityCemetery Glendale Park PioneerPark 11th AvenuePark Donner TrailPark Ensign PeakOpen Space H Rock Parley's HistoricNature Park WestpointePark Modelport SherwoodPark ´0 21Miles Parleys Canyon/Mountain Dell Golf Course Area Map !T Trailhead !A Trail Access Existing Multipurpose Trail Proposed Multipurpose Trail Existing Hiking/Mountain Biking Trail Proposed Hiking/Mountain Biking Trail 1/2 Mile Walk Distance Along Existing Trails & Streets Zoning: Residential Uses AllowedExisting Hiking Only Trail Developed Parks Special Use Parks Natural Lands Cemetery Public Golf Courses County Parks City Staff caring for gardens along the S-Line. types of questions to assess the equitable access of urban nature to different communities. And if there are gaps, to offer master plan strategies that can help those areas of the city that need additional resources most. OPERATiONS & MAiNTENANCE Concurrently during the Reimagine Nature community outreach, a national consultant team, ETM and Associates, analyzed Public Lands level of staffing, resources and responsibilities. As Public Lands’ responsibilities have expanded over time, a youthful, diverse and energetic staff has tackled increased responsibilities. Compared to other North American benchmark cities, Public Lands is relatively understaffed, particularly in the area of long-term management of environmental assets. For example, Urban Forestry staff is stretched at one staff member protecting an average of 10,000 trees. The public may not be highly aware of this shortfall as a 2021 citizen survey shows “parks” was one of the highest rated city services, after fire/paramedics, library, garbage pickup, and airport. However, 63% of Public Lands assets have been evaluated to be in poor or fair condition. Throughout the master plan development, it became clear that elevating Public Lands from a division to a City department would allow for growth in capacity to take better care of the city’s urban nature while also tackling vital adaptations needed to address the impacts of climate change and social issues. Additional evidence for supporting investment in current parks, trails and open spaces can be seen in the high rankings in the recent 2021 Salt Lake City Resident Survey where participants ranked investment in Public Lands as the number four priority for the city, just under investment in affordable housing, supporting local businesses and expanding sustainability.

The National Parks and Recreation Association (NRPA) defines a master plan as “a system-wide…comprehensive document and process that include an internal assessment, community engagement, resources and data collection, and development of an implementation plan.”5 In 2019, Public Lands commenced data collection and analysis, research on international best practices and consultation with the public, staff, partners, stakeholders and experts. The result of this work is presented in three parts listed below. 5 https://www.nrpa.org/publications-research/best-practice-resources/creating-equity-based-system-master-plans/ “IT IS THE SET OF THE SAILS, NOT THE DIRECTION OF THE WIND THAT DETERMINES WHICH WAY WE WILL GO”. - jim rohn Reimagine Nature: Public Lands Master Plan sits within a larger planning context of policies and city initiatives.

REI MAGI NE NATURE SLC PUBLIC LANDS MASTER PLAN Ii ii fr ii Chapter One: Introduction 20 Chapter Two: introduction COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT SUMMARY The Reimagine Nature master plan process reached over 12,000 members of the community through digital and socially distanced tactics (see figure 6 below). Engagement was conducted in two periods: Window #1, (2020) and Window #2 (2021). Now more than ever, public lands contribute to the community’s personal health, identity and civic ideals. The plan is a reflection of the community’s vision for a bright future of public lands. HOW WE LiSTENED The figure below shows one metric of how engagement was evaluated for how it was inclusive of representative demographic populations that reflect the city’s current diversity. More information about the participation demographics and engagement methods can be found in the document appendix. Partnerships with the University of Utah College of City and Metropolitan Planning and on-the-ground, “intercept survey” efforts of Salt Lake City staff members and volunteers supplemented digital tactics to target engagement of typically underrepresented areas or populations of the city.

These communities are the most ethnically diverse areas of the city and are cut off from downtown by railroads and highways. Compared to their neighbors to the east, residents in these neighborhoods are in “higher need” according to the 2019 SLC Public Lands Needs Assessment. Parks in westside communities also have lower rates of visitation compared to parks in Salt Lake City’s east side, signaling a need to hear community-led solutions from westside neighborhoods. The multi-level approach captured a more diverse sample of the community. Initial survey results led to preliminary plan ideas that were shared in a series of focus groups with representative community stakeholders to refine master plan direction. The focus groups cultivated stronger relationships resulting in new collaborations and solutions.

It also served as a check point with the community and stakeholders to verify that the Master Plan was developing in the right direction, had community support, and provided an opportunity to contribute any important ideas that may be missing from the Master Plan. The following pages show a selection of some of the responses received from the community through the online survey, focus groups and micro-engagement events. The document appendix includes detailed reports on the public engagement windows and their findings for more information. Community members of all ages provide their thoughts during a student intercept survey event. Reach out and listen. Specific place-based responses for acts of restoration, maintenance, and development. Recruit stewards, rangers/ambassadors, and volunteers from minority communities near the public lands. STEWARDSHiP iDEAS I would volunteer to clean up parks, paint bathrooms, help with trash and waste disposal I would also donate money to groups that contribute to stewardship of the parks. Work with school districts on biodiversity education and curriculum including hands on projects to give our youngest citizenry a sense of ownership. Encourage non-motorized visitation. Supply and timely service waste receptacles. Landscape with broad ecological goals, e.g. not just trees but flower and open areas that support birds and bees. More trails closer to home so I and my neighbors don’t have to drive to other places (Millcreek, Draper, Herriman, etc.) for trail running and riding opportunities. LivABiLiTY iDEAS Source: 2020 Community Survey 1 Substantially improve tree cover in neighborhoods, parks and natural areas by 50% to compensate for human impacts.” Add neighborhood opportunities to spend time in water. Salt Lake City is getting hotter summers and one of the key missing public land opportunities for residents is access to water for recreational opportunities. Expand community gardens. EQUiTY iDEAS Source: 2020 Community Survey 1 Have signs displayed in 2-3 languages. Increased accessibility for all members of society, along with native fauna that calls the space home. So more bike paths, ramps for wheelchairs, inclusive non-gendered bathrooms. For the wild life, creating more pockets of space not meant for human traffic or usage, and planting more native plants essential to their natural habitats.

When comparing urgency versus importance, two projects stood out significantly. Put environment first was ranked the highest by survey respondents in both categories, with 73% ranking it as very important 72% ranking it as very urgent. The next highest-ranking project was grow our urban forest, with 71% ranking it as very important and 68% ranking it as very urgent.

LIVABILITY EQUITYSTEWARDSHIP Chapter Two: Framework 34 WHAT VALUES GUIDE THE PLAN? The VALUES that drive the way the Public Lands Department achieves plan goals is through a work ethic: »that grows a culture of STEWARDSHIP to protect wildlife, trees, mountains, lakes, rivers and scenic views; »that improves LIVABILITY in SLC in the face of impacts of climate change and population growth; and »that provides greater EQUITY in the way the community has access to close-to-home, high- quality green spaces. The plan values are integrated into each goal and transformative project. STEWARDSHIP, or taking care of what we have, is investing in the renewal of our existing city parks, urban forest, natural areas and trails. Stewardship inspires us to preserve habitat so plants and wildlife can thrive and be resilient to impacts of climate change like rising temperatures. Potential actions could be planting tree groves in city golf courses or adding butterfly gardens to city parks. Figure 13: Value Lenses Relationship to Goals Diagram. LIVABILITY, or maintaining SLC’s quality of outdoor life, inspires us to provide more services to residents as the city grows. We can collectively identify opportunities to use our city’s parks, golf courses, school yards, natural areas and streetscapes to increase public access to nature, trails, sports fields, and public gathering places. EQUITY, or including diverse voices in the master plan process and priorities, aligns as a citywide value emerging from the roundtable discussion on “Geographic Equity, Inclusion, PLANVALUES: & Belonging.” We are committed to listening to the realities and perceptions of access to public lands from all sides of Salt Lake City to help guide next steps for a more equitable future.

VISION STATEMENT: Reimagine Nature SLC Public Lands Master Plan vision proposes big ideas to transform and sustain quality outdoor spaces that are welcoming, safe, and walkable; ensuring people, wildlife and ecosystems benefit from fair investment of Salt Lake City resources over the next 20 years. ~ 36 GOALS GOAL STATEMENT: Public Lands will continue to be on the forefront of environmentalism, employing sustainable operations practices such as conserving water resources for greater resilience to climate change and making significant contributions to an equitable and healthier natural environment such as increasing tree cover that improves regional air quality and provides bird habitat. SUSTAIN: ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH AND SUSTAINABILITY TOP STRATEGIES: S1 - Position Public Lands to increase the ambition of Salt Lake City’s climate resiliency goals. S2 - Position Public Lands as the City leader for driving improvements in human and ecosystem health. PROGRESS METRICS: S1 - Metric: Percent of occupied tree planting sites. Goal: 90% occupied by 2030. S1 - Metric: Percent of urban forest trees pruned annually. Goal: 10% of trees pruned annually by 2030. S2 - Metric: Species biodiversity by site. Goal: Demonstrate a statistically- significant increase (>0) in species biodiversity on all Public Lands (except mini parks and special use parks) by 2030. Reimagine Nature Master Plan has five main GOALS of what the Public Lands Department is aiming to achieve over the next 10-20 years: 1. Sustain: Environmental Health and Sustainability 2. Connect: Accessible and Connected Green Spaces 3. Welcome: Active, Authentic and Inclusive Places 4. Protect: A Commitment to Stewardship 5. Grow: Expand our Public Lands System Mural in the Granary District. People enjoying the spring water pond at Liberty Park. Chapter Two: Framework 38 GOAL STATEMENT: Well-maintained, welcoming trails, streets, public transportation, and sidewalks are interconnected as the city’s circulatory system. This system connects pedestrians, cyclists, and riders to the city’s green spaces and outstanding natural landscapes of Salt Lake City’s Public Lands: mountains, foothills, valley, wetlands, and lakes. The City will continue to enhance these systems and increase connectors to include everyday destinations ranging from the daycare, library, grocery store, pharmacy and museum. This adds convenient connections to walk or ride along a greenway, adding steps to pedometers and enriching health and wellbeing. GOAL STATEMENT: Ideal parks are actively used by the community, inclusive for all ages, abilities and cultures and strive to be authentic, or reflective of the neighborhood and community’s culture. Parks departments across the country struggle with balancing limited resources and many priorities with achieving these ideals. For cities, there is also a growing awareness of how green space has historically been provided and maintained for different neighborhoods. Cities are collecting data and stories to document the historic inequities in the quantity and quality of green space (e.g., nationwide studies have found that lower income urban areas typically correlate with less tree canopy, less accessible green spaces and lower quality amenities). The Public Lands Department, in alignment with the mayor’s 2021 citywide vision, is committed to looking at top- down and bottom-up community- driven solutions to welcoming more people. The department will strive to reflect the diverse culture and history of Salt Lake City neighborhoods in the tapestry of parks and open spaces. WELCOME: ACTIVE, AUTHENTIC AND INCLUSIVE PLACES CONNECT: ACCESSIBLE AND CONNECTED GREEN SPACES TOP STRATEGIES: C1 - Connect people to information about their park system. C2 - Increase the ease of access to public lands, making it easier to travel to, between and within them. TOP STRATEGIES: W1 - Design and program Neighborhood Parks to highlight the unique natural, historical, cultural and economic identify of the surrounding area and community in which they are located. W2 - Support active programming that brings people out to their parks for art, events, programs, recreation and community. This programming should be diverse and adapted to represent the community culture and encourage creation of social connections. PROGRESS METRICS: C1 - Metric: Percent increase in social media followers across Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Goal: 500% increase from 2021 baseline by 2030.

C2 - Metric: Percent of parks that have received an accessibility audit*. *identifies accessibility barriers, a means to remove the barrier, and a transition plan for budgeting, planning and implementing the barrier removal. Goal: 90% of SLC parks have received an accessibility audit by 2030. C2 - Metric: Percent of parks that have fully implemented the removal of accessibility barriers identified in an accessibility audit. Goal: 50% of SLC Regional, Community, Neighborhood, Special Event and Mini Parks have fully implemented the removal of identified accessibility barriers by 2040. C2 Metric: Percent of residents within ¼ mile of a park, multi-use trail or natural land. Goal: 95% of SLC Residents live within ¼ mile of a park, multi-use trail or natural land by 2040. Chapter Two: Framework 40 GOAL STATEMENT: Salt Lake City’s urban population is growing. The Public Lands Department will balance providing safe green spaces for the public while also protecting iconic, irreplaceable natural resources that keep the city wild. Stewardship demands are profound: diminishing environmental health, increasing need for visitor management, increasing maintenance demands, increasing numbers of unhoused using open space as refuge, and increasing costs to provide infrastructure and services to a growing city. In the Public Lands’ domain, the Department will lead the stewardship and care of urban green spaces. The Department will seek out opportunities to partner with advocacy groups and schools to educate on how the public can be stewards of the land and learn its history. GOAL STATEMENT: As the Salt Lake City population increases, our public lands receive more visitation and work harder to reduce negative impacts of more “footprints” on our landscapes and public amenities with increased maintenance and renewal. Providing the amount of public properties in relation to population growth needs is increasingly challenging in a city reaching maximum expansion build-out with limited opportunities to aquire large natural areas or small parks in areas of dense development with high land prices. City departments and partners work together to provide green space and recreation opportunities in our rapidly re-developing downtown. We innovate and make smart use of the public properties we have, being strategic with our resources and creating funding sources to expand our urban forest, trails, park system, and natural areas. GROW: EXPAND OUR PUBLIC LANDS SYSTEM PROTECT: A COMMITMENT TO STEWARDSHIP TOP STRATEGIES: P1 - Ensure iconic, irreplicable assets are not lost or rendered less valuable due to neglect, destruction or development. P2 - Leverage the power of the community to help steward SLC’s Public Lands. TOP STRATEGIES: G1 - Be proactive and strategic about growth of the Public Lands System. G2 - Overcome difficult obstacles to growth needs through creativity and through leveraging external assets and resources. PROGRESS METRIC: P1 - Metric: Acres per funded grounds maintenance employee full time equival (FTE) for parks by park type. Goal: No more than 15 acres per funded grounds maintenance FTE for Regional Parks, Special Event Parks, and Urban Natural Areas, and no more than 5 acres per funded grounds maintenance FTE for Neighborhood Parks and Mini Parks, by 2030. P1 - Metric: Park and natural land acres acquired. Goal: Acquire at least 94 acres of parkland, 60 acres of urban natural lands, and 150 acres of non-urban natural lands, by 2040, to maintain 2017 level of service. P2 - Metric: Number of volunteers engaged & total number of volunteer person-hours annually Goal: Increase number of volunteers engaged & total number of volunteer person hours by 10% annually, and by 250% by 2030. PROGRESS METRIC: G1 - Metric: Number of parks with annual visitation estimates based on data from automated visitation counters and/or point-in-time counts. Goal: Annual visitation estimates for 75 parks by 2030. G1 - Metric: Number of respondents to annual public opinion survey for Public Lands. Goal: Three-year running average is equal to or greater than 2,000 respondents by 2030. G2 - Metric: Number of active, formal partner organizations* *Organizations with active partnerships agreements (approved by attorneys office & fully executed). Goal: Thirty formal partnership agreements are active by 2030. Chapter Two: Framework 42 TRANSFORMATIVE PROJECTS Ten Transformative Projects were identified through the engagement process to achieve plan goals and heighten Public Lands’ impact on the city’s livability, equity, and stewardship. The projects are transformative as they will require great effort and/or and shift in Public Lands operations to achieve. The Transformative Projects are organized by the goals and chapters they are most emblematic of, however each project supports multiple plan goals. Figure 14: Ten transformative projects for Reimagine Nature. PUT ENVIRONMENT FIRST Cultivate more biological diversity and conservation in city parks, urban forests, city golf lands and natural areas.

The urban forest is aging, requiring regeneration to keep SLC shaded and cool while providing critical habitat. CHAPTER 44 SUSTAIN: ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH & SUSTAINABILITY “ENCOURAGE NON-MOTORIZED VISITATION TO REDUCE CARBON EMISSIONS.” Beautiful parks don’t have to be the color green. The future will be less water. Xeriscape can be beautiful and ecologically sound.” “LANDSCAPE WITH ECOLOGICAL GOALS THAT SUPPORT BIRDS AND BEES.” -comments from the 2021 public survey Chapter Three: Sustain 46 SUSTAIN:ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH & SUSTAINABILITY “In nature nothing exists alone.”- Rachel Carson, Silent Spring ENVIRONMENTAL CHALLENGES FACING SLC’S PUBLIC LANDS The idea of sustainability as we know it today evolved out of the environmental movement in the mid-1900s. Implicitly, our ability to sustain environmental health relies on our understanding of landscape ecology: relationships between all life, great and small, on our planet and the cultivation of natural cycles that bind these relationships. For Salt Lake City’s Public Lands, the cycles that bind us to the environment (landscape) include our recreation activities that provide physical and mental wellness to our community: hiking in the Foothills Natural Area, enjoying the scenic views of our city golf courses and natural lands, or commuting to work under the shade of the urban tree canopy. The environmental health and scenic qualities of these landscapes are threatened with global and local stressors. The rapid loss of biodiversity (or richness of different types of plants and animals) is a global phenomenon. It is estimated that possibly half or more of all current species could be at risk of extinction in the foreseeable future worldwide.1 Locally, Water Strategies for the Great Salt Lake2, reported a historical decline in lake water levels due to human development, water use and sustained drought. Maintaining water in our creeks, the Jordan River and the Great Salt Lake is essential to protecting riparian habitat critical to local wildlife and migratory birds along the Central Flyway. At a citywide scale, recent studies aiming to project the impact of climate change found that by 2050 Salt Lake City’s temperatures could rise ten degrees and feel more like Las Vegas today.3 Within Public Land’s territories, Salt Lake City’s urban forest has been in decline over the last 20 years.4 With recent studies citing our evolution into an “indoor species,” spending only minutes a day outside, the physical and plant-based infrastructure that welcomes us outdoors so that we can connect with nature 1 Alvey, A.A.

For the SLC Public Lands system, the 2019 Needs Assessment5 found that 63% of those types of assets are in fair to poor condition. DESIRES AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR SUSTAIN The opportunities to think globally about climate change and act locally at the scale of SLC’s Public Lands is critically important to the community. With over 12,000 participants in this master plan effort, many provided suggestions on how to sustain and enhance Public Lands’ environmental health. The project survey saw 90% of respondents ranking two transformational projects that are emblematic of the Sustain goal, “Put Environment First” and “Grow Our Urban Forest,” as their top priorities in terms of urgency and importance. Supporting ideas that resonated with many in the community are displayed in the quotes on the following page. 5 https://www.slcdocs.com/parks/SLCPLNeedsAssessment.pdf i ,' ' ' Chapter Three: Sustain 48 EQUITY & ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE NRPA’s Story Map “Equity in Parks and Recreation” highlights how government policies “increased local park access for some, while significantly limiting it for others, especially by income, education, race and ethnicity.”6 Policies such as segregation, racial covenants and redlining have formed marginalized and historically underserved neighborhoods which suffer greater environmental inequities from industrial pollution and lack of investment. Today these communities continue to experience inequities formed by policies of the past. Research demonstrates that such neighborhoods have less tree canopy, higher urban temperatures, less permeable ground to absorb stormwater, and greater levels of air and noise pollution. In Salt Lake City, park and trail use during the pandemic increased by most demographic groups but decreased among older adults, females, homeowners, and low-income households 6 https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/5727e40084614c559bf0440dc5a21f7f according to research conducted by University of Utah.7 Parks and open space create an opportunity to address these inequities through environmental improvements that create more equitable access to nature and provide benefits which lead to greater health outcomes. The 2019 Public Lands Needs Assessment8 took the first steps toward understanding equity in access to nature by identifying high needs areas which mapped factors such as gaps in park access, age, and income. This assessment can be expanded upon to highlight communities that continue to experience environmental inequity. Figure 15 Equity Map was created combining environmental and demographic maps of equity disparity indicators to identify priority areas for provision and improvement of parks, natural areas, and trails. The indicators can be weighted by importance to prioritize investment in locations that advance equity goals. 7 JAPA 2021 “Who visited parks and trails more or less during COVID-19 pandemic, and why?

Chapter Three: Sustain 54 INCREASING RESILIENCY AND ECOSYSTEM HEALTH Public Lands staff, the Parks, Natural Lands, Urban Forestry and Trails Advisory Board (PNUT), and the Salt Lake City community clearly called out for this master plan to underline the importance of protecting the environment. Putting the environment first is about assessing Public Lands natural resources of water, air, soil, plants and wildlife and understanding the pressures climate change and increasing urbanization have on those elements. This project is about understanding the ecosystem health of the thousands of acres of natural lands, city parks, city golf and over 86,500 urban forest trees the City stewards. SUSTAIN:PUT ENVIRONMENT FIRST This project is at once grand, looking at the city’s green space as a regional ecosystem tied to interdepartmental climate measures laid out in the City’s Climate Positive 2040 plan, and precise, understanding the perennial flower species that will thrive in the arid environment while supporting bird and bee populations. It will increase resiliency in the face of a changing climate by conserving limited water resources through Drought Management, Water Budget and Climate Resiliency Plans. The transformative project “Put Environment First” will need support from staff, volunteers and the community to leverage existing partnerships, learn new ways to partner together to steward lands, and make prioritized decisions on where to invest limited resources that have the greatest environmental return on investment.

REHABILITATING WITH NATURAL ASSETS Public Lands’ Natural Areas are ideal locations to put the environment first by restoring native plants that benefit the local ecosystem. Establishing native plants along the river helps to combat invasive species, such as Phragmites, which overtake local ecosystems. Invasives accelerate the disappearance of riparian habitat, reducing food sources for species, such as migrating neo-tropical birds, that depend on the Jordan River. High water table helps n ew tr ee ro ots Jordan River Park way Create a balance between manicured spaces for community activity and improved habitat and natural areas for our non-human friends, plants and people alike Interpretive signage enhances visitor experience Riparian corridors, such as the Jordan River, are ideal locations for planting new tree additions to the urban forest. The surrounding high water table helps supplement irrigation needed to establish tree root systems in the dry western climate. Shade from increased tree canopy assists in restoring other native riparian species such as Wood’s Rose and Golden Currant, providing cooler temperatures that help plants absorb water efficiently. Invasives often form crowded colonies, blocking physical and visual access to enjoyment of our local rivers and creeks. A well-cared for and established natural environment provides opportunities for more recreational and visual access to the water’s edge while also creating essential habitat for birds and pollinators. % ~· ~ . ~ ~ . . . . ~ I ' ': ,' /~~' ,'-., , ri:' I, , I ,-j ?' - ~ Chapter Three: Sustain 58 Projects Include: • Launch a public awareness campaign to support new trees that are adapted to Salt Lake City’s arid climate and educate on waterwise and tree care best practices. • As part of an Urban Forest Master Plan, implement projects that increase urban forest canopy and identify strategies to overcome equity barriers.

GROW OUR URBAN FOREST and regionally appropriate tree selection. This provides extra support to ensure both the trees and the neighborhood benefits from a large-scale, collective effort as well as supporting other goals within the Reimagine Nature master plan. • Maximize planting of appropriate trees on all publicly owned landscapes such as golf courses, parks and street medians and leverage investment in tree planting with Salt Lake transportation projects. • Invest in the equipment and resources to responsibly reuse wood from trees removed from our urban forest to create usable wood products such as mulch for our park’s playgrounds and gardens. • Identify successful specimen trees and explore cultivating new cultivars that are climate adaptive. Transformative Project Chapter Three: Sustain 60 Figure 17: Tree Canopy and Historic Homeowner’s Loan Corporation Redlining Grades. *Map adapted from upcoming SLC Urban Forest Action Plan research. INCREASING NEIGHBORHOOD AND CITY-WIDE RESILIENCE Areas with little to no tree canopy are more common throughout the City’s westside, downtown and central neighborhoods, contributing to hotter temperatures and lower air quality. Some reduced canopy is an effect of historic inequities such as the Home Owners’ Loan Corporation 1930’s redlining practices, overlaid on the map in Figure 17. The westside also has a smaller residential area and larger industrial area, both of which contributes to overall lower tree canopy on the westside of the city. The westside industrial area will see more housing development in the future. There is an opportunity to increase tree canopy in areas of the city that don’t currently have trees to make these places more livable but there are challenges to achieving that. Lower income residents are more reluctant to request a city tree over concerns of the long-term water and tree care costs. Developing an approach to overcome these real cost barriers in lower income neighborhoods is an important factor in increasing and sustaining healthy tree canopy. Property owners and landlords may not be focused on the long-term benefits that trees provide to their properties. In the downtown area, many uses compete for the limited public right-of-way allocated for trees and pedestrians. Identifying ways to prioritize trees in the downtown will increase the comfort of the public realm. This can include focus on the role park strips play as important spaces for trees, in addition to providing city resiliency by reducing heat and absorbing storm water. While the traditional focus of forming tree-lined streets is important, planting trees in Public Land’ parks, golf courses and natural areas creates significant impacts to enhanced neighborhood resiliency. In these cared-for, often irrigated spaces, trees can have higher survival rates and mature, providing increased environmental benefits. These spaces also allow for trees to be planted in dense groupings, making them stronger and more resilient to damaging wind storms such as 2020’s derecho. Critical to success is allocating dedicated resources to the long- term care of the urban forest infrastructure that is installed. This will rely on both public employees and private property owners who are committed to and educated regarding the stewardship of these trees.

Like Salt Lake City, Denver residents and business owners are responsible for the maintenance of trees near the sidewalks and streets. While many programs provided free or low-cost trees to residents and businesses, the average life of new tree plants was only seven to twelve years due to the dry and hot conditions created by sun-warmed concrete and asphalt and worn-down irrigation infrastructure. In order to promote tree longevity and the benefits of a mature, shady tree canopy, the city and partners embraced multi- pronged efforts from awareness campaigns to maintenance support through the Urban Forest Initiative. As part of this initiative, city leaders formed a Downtown Denver Business Improvement District that funds the Tree Health Program to support commercial property owners in tree care (fertilization, pest management, watering) of over 1,800 downtown trees. Low-water trees: Common Hackberry adds to the tree canopy while conserving water in SLC’s dry climate. Tree Recycling: Wood from downed trees can be reused as mulch or urban artwork. Tree Protection: Policy changes could better protect valuable mature trees during construction. CASE STUDIES-SUPPORTIVE RESEARCH FINDINGS According to the Baltimore Wood Reuse Project, “wood is an abundant, renewable resource— we should use it more.”1 The project has created a successful model for recycling wood waste from Urban Forest operations, keeping it out of limited landfills and creating sustainable, locally sourced products such as bark mulch that can be reused in City parks and open spaces. Program partners re- purpose the wood as materials for sustainable building, mulch, and artisan furniture and art. Other successful outcomes have included creating jobs for those with barriers to employment and reducing operations and maintenance costs. Applying the model in Salt Lake City would provide opportunities for Urban Forestry to increase sustainable operations practices and reduce carbon footprints while creating green, equitable job opportunities. 1 Baltimore Wood Project — Rethinking Wood in the City Photo Source: (Above) http://baltimorewoodproject.org/ (Below) Wood waste from the Urban Forestry can be reused for other purposes. Chapter Four: Connect 64 4CONNECT: ACCESSIBLE & CONNECTED GREEN SPACES GOAL STATEMENT Well-maintained, welcoming trails, streets, public transportation, and sidewalks are interconnected as the city’s circulatory system. This system connects pedestrians, cyclists, and riders to the city’s green spaces and outstanding natural landscapes of Salt Lake City’s Public Lands: mountains, foothills, valley, wetlands, and lakes. The City will continue to enhance these systems and increase connectors to include everyday destinations ranging from the daycare, library, grocery store, pharmacy and museum. This adds convenient access to walk or ride along a greenway, adding steps to pedometers and enriching health and wellbeing. CHAPTER The goal of Connect seeks to link SLC’s natural assets: the greenway corridors, natural areas, mountains and the Great Salt Lake. Chapter Four: Connect 66 CHALLENGES TO ACCESSINGGREEN SPACE Salt Lake City’s Great Basin Valley, Wasatch foothills and Great Salt Lake shore uplands inspired the 1992 SALT LAKE CITY OPEN SPACE PLAN that recognized how disconnected these spaces were to the urban park systems at the time. Since 1992, progress has been made to connect parks and stormwater properties to natural open spaces through a network of green corridors. The Reimagine Nature Master Plan goal of “Connect” ties back to this earlier planning effort and positions Public Lands to continue to be the city’s “back yard” of conserved mountains, foothills, creeks and wetlands. Work-in-progress that supports this goal includes strategic open space preservation, stream restoration, park acquisition and partnerships to maintain and connect wildlife habitat corridors. An overall sense of environmental unease and costly recovery efforts confronts Salt Lake City with record hot weather, longer droughts, increased wildfire frequency, damaging storms, more poor CONNECT:ACCESSIBLE &CONNECTED GREEN SPACES air quality days and loss of the diversity of plants and wildlife in our landscapes. Counter these depressing stressors with findings on the benefits of spending time outside: blood pressure drops within minutes of just seeing a tree. So why aren’t more people spending time outdoors? Over the last decade of parks and open space surveys, North American city dwellers identified frequently recurring barriers to accessing green space: lack of leisure time, lack of affordable transportation (e.g., complete sidewalks, bus, etc.) or inability to travel to a space, and lack of knowledge about where to go to enjoy the outdoors. 10-MINUTE WALK Our time is precious; the modern world’s busy demands of work, learning and commuting consume most of our waking hours and impact our available time for recreation outdoors. Children in the U.S. spend only four to seven minutes a day outside and obesity levels in Salt Lake City have risen since 2013. For cities across North America, urban dwellers, health care providers and environmentalists consistently advocate for visions of an equitable network of city trails, sidewalks, bike lanes and green streets, providing all residents access to parks, work, shopping, and culture within a 5-to-10-minute safe walk of their households. City Parks Alliance and Trust for Public Land, leaders in urban green space research, endorse the 10-minute walk distance as a baseline standard for the United States because studies have shown the tremendous benefit of close-to- home green space to counter threats to our physical wellness and mental well-being. For the SLC Public Lands system, the 2019 NEEDS ASSESSMENT found that most residents are within a 10-minute walk of green spaces, with some areas (markedly on the westside) that need more parks and/or more investment in park renewal. AFFORDABLE, ACCESSIBLE TRANSPORTATION The daytime population of downtown Salt Lake City nearly doubles during the week with the average commute time of 20-25 minutes. Imagine if that commute “[THE LAND] HOLDS SO MUCH OF OUR CULTURE, OUR HISTORY AND OUR KNOWLEDGE…IN THE FACE OF CLIMATE CHANGE AND EVERYTHING THAT’S COMING, THESE LESSONS AND ANSWERS ON HOW TO LIVE WITH THE LANDSCAPES THAT ALL OF OUR TRIBES HAVE EVOLVED WITH, THOSE ANSWERS ARE ALL EMBEDDED IN THIS LAND.” ― Ahjani Yepa, Utah Dine Bikeyah, Inside Climate News, April 21, 2021 “IT IS ONE GREAT PURPOSE OF [CENTRAL] PARK TO SUPPLY TO THE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF TIRED WORKERS, WHO HAVE NO OPPORTUNITY TO SPEND THEIR SUMMERS IN THE COUNTRY, A SPECIMEN OF GOD’S HANDIWORK THAT SHALL BE TO THEM, INEXPENSIVELY, WHAT A MONTH OF TWO IN THE WHITE MOUNTAINS OR THE ADIRONDACKS IS, AT GREAT COST, TO THOSE IN EASIER CIRCUMSTANCES.” ―Frederick Law Olmstead, Letter to New York City Board of Commissioners, 1858.- Frederick Law Olmsted, letter to New York City Board of Commissioners, 1858 Chapter Four: Connect 68 changed from auto-driven to more active ways to reach work and school that also connect residents to parks and green spaces. People would add beneficial time outside in nature to their daily lives. Utah’s Unified Transportation Plan calls for a third of the state’s future transportation investments to be invested in transit (defined as mobility transportation including bicycles, walking, vanpool, buses, light rail, commuter rail, street cars, etc.). Leveraging these investments with the city’s growing green network and ensuring that people of all abilities (people with cognitive disabilities, elders with declining mobility, to parents schlepping a 36”-wide stroller) can access routes is critical for equity. Beyond providing access, many forms of active transportation are free to low-cost-an important factor as 45% of Salt Lake City metro renters are cost burdened. Low-income and subsequent burdens of housing and transportation costs can limit the amount of leisure time and transportation options people have to enjoy public lands. The challenge is thus twofold: one of connecting more ways of walking and cycling for everyone in Salt Lake City while prioritizing those routes that provide access to urban parks, natural areas, and trees within the city that also connect to the larger landscapes of mountains, foothills, basins, wetlands and lakes. AWARENESS The third most common barrier to getting outside is lack of knowledge: where are places to recreate, how to get there, what to expect when they get there, and who to recreate with. This awareness also has implications for long-term stewardship. The writer Vladimir Nabokov muses, “Reality is a very subjective affair. I can only define it as a kind of gradual accumulation of information; and as specialization. If we take a lily, for instance, or any other kind of natural object, a lily is more real to a naturalist than it is to an ordinary person. But it is still more real to a botanist.” Magical landscapes of trees, rock, creeks, marsh and salty lake where plants and wildlife abound in the Salt Lake City region. But if the public doesn’t understand what is there and how to leave no trace, they will be unlikely to understand how to be stewards of the land (how to enhance the health of the urban greenspaces and surrounding wilderness through political advocacy, financial support, stewardship, land conservation and reducing individual environmental footprint). Or to put it simply, we don’t know what we don’t know. Public education strategies and wayfinding can help cities connect people to experiences in nature, improving public health while growing caring stewards of plants, animals, and landscapes. DESIRES AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR CONNECT Creating opportunities to connect people to public lands resonated strongly with participants in the master plan process. During the most recent community survey, 90% of respondents said they are satisfied with the transformative project “Connect Mountains to Lakes” and 75% supported “Just 5 Minutes from Here,” a campaign to share information on how people can access and learn about public lands. Enriching the discussion about connecting people to place are quotes from participants, listed to the right. CONNECT:ACCESSIBLE &CONNECTED GREEN SPACES “MORE EMPHASIS ON MAKING AREAS BIKE AND BUS FRIENDLY TO REDUCE THE NEED TO DRIVE TO PARKS.” -comments from the 2021 public survey “ACCESS IS AWESOME, AND WE WANT PEOPLE TO GET OUT INTO THESE SPACES BUT HAVING HUMANS IN THESE AREAS CAN IMPACT WHAT THE HABITAT LOOKS LIKE, SO JUST BALANCING THOSE NEEDS AND BEING ABLE TO PROTECT LAND IN CERTAIN WAYS FOR WILDLIFE IS SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT.” “UNCOVER AND RESTORE THE BURIED AND IMPAIRED CREEKS IN THE SALT LAKE VALLEY.” Chapter Four: Connect 70 Figure 18: Transit and Park Access Analysis Map. ”FOCUS ON ACCESSIBLE BY PUBLIC TRANSPORT OR BIKE INSTEAD OF MORE PARKING FOR CARS.” “CAR FREE SUNDAYS IN LIBERTY PARK, INCORPORATE PARKS AND TRAILS INTO PUBLIC TRANSIT INITIATIVES MAYBE A SPECIAL RECREATION LOOP.” “NONE OF THIS WORKS WITHOUT A PLAN FOR EQUITABLE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION AND A BROADER CITY/COUNTY/STATE FOCUS ON AIR QUALITY AND OTHER ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY CONCERNS.” -comments from the 2021 public survey TRANSIT ACCESS TO PARKS IN SALT LAKE CITY TRANSIT CONNECTING PARKS Respondents to the Reimagine Nature survey continually cited the need for increased access by public transit for equity of access, low-carbon solutions, and to resolve the issue of lack of parking. According to the 2019 Needs Assessment, The Central Community has the lowest park LOS and is expected to experience the most future growth in the city. The addition of Fleet Block as a public green space could fill this gap and increase options to access parks by rail with proximity to the nearby TRAX station. As the City develops, consideration should be given to the relationship of parks and transit and affordable, environmentally friendly options for park accessibility. Figure 18 Access Analysis Map highlights existing parks within walking distance to rail station locations. Dark red areas are within a five minute walk of TRAX stations and dark green shows areas within a five minute walk of a bus stop. Adding or enhancing parks and trails within these areas should be prioritized for more equitable access. Imagine being able to visit a different park every week just by stepping off a different bus or rail stop.

The Mountains Recreation and Conservation Authority partnered with the region’s flood control district and public works to complete the 50 to 60-foot wide greenway that includes 15 acres of riparian habitat, 10-foot wide recreation trails on both sides of the channel and 8 ecological areas with over 1,000 trees. The Landscape Architecture Foundations’ Landscape Performance Series case study on this project underlined the following lessons learned from the Tujunga Wash Greenway to keep in mind for this transformational project: •Ongoing public education on the seasonal changes of the stream and landscape is essential to build environmental awareness; •In man-made streambeds, efficient sediment removal maintenance is key for flow; •Leverage smaller phases as a prototype for establishing baseline measurement and data collection regimes; and •Establish real-time environmental monitoring for habitat management and hydrological performance. The following recommended strategies and policies are high- level guidance for Public Lands operations and maintenance that direct how Public Lands will achieve the plan goal of “connect” over the next decade. The community identified two Plantings of native species improve biodiversity along the greenway. The new greenway trail parallels a section of the Tsunga Wash.

CONNECT:STRATEGIES AND POLICIES OVERVIEW transformational projects to support the overall goal of connect. Working in tandem with the strategies and policies in this table, these projects root the 20- year vision with on-the-ground improvements. Additional detail for implementation is provided in Chapter 8 Action Strategies. CONNECT: HIGH-LEVEL STRATEGIES AND POLICIES Strategy C-1 Connect people to information about their park system to increase visitation. Supporting Policy 1.1 Help the public navigate to and around their public lands system with intuitive physical wayfinding and digital information. Supporting Policy 1.2 Provide information that helps the public interpret and appreciate their parks and natural lands, with the use of diverse, interesting programming and activities, education and messaging, physical and digital interpretive content, and park ambassadors. Supporting Policy 1.3 Facilitate access to information about use of SLC’s public lands by people experiencing homelessness, including available services and resources, hotlines, community partners, and opportunities to engage in cross-community dialogue to help make SLC parks welcoming and safe for sheltered and unsheltered alike. Strategy C-2 Increase the ease of access to public lands, making it easier to travel to, between and within them. Supporting Policy 2.1 Promote walking and active transportation by connecting our parks & natural spaces to the City’s alternative transportation network, including bus, TRAX, SLC Green Bike, and on-street / off-street trails. Supporting Policy 2.2 Invest in greening the urban trail network through tree plantings, stream daylighting, and other methods to interconnect parks with park-like trails. Supporting Policy 2.3 Incorporate careful consideration of physical limitations, language barriers, and other accessibility accommodations into all Public Lands projects. Chapter Four: Connect 74 access to both experiences. An enclosed walkway bridges the creek between the two library sections and connects to 8.8 miles of trails to other key destinations. Creekside Playground was added adjacent to the library. These places are made more accessible with support from Child-Friendly City Maps produced by youth and activities databases on growingupboulder.org. Case Studies - Portland, Oregon Golf Courses with Public Trails Three publicly owned golf courses in Portland, Oregon offer miles of walking trails to the public. The trails range from neighborhood- serving jogging trails to regional, paved shared-use paths. At Glendoveer Golf Course, 50,000 Case Studies - Salt Lake City Children’s Outdoor Bill of Rights Public Lands worked with diverse youth service providers in SLC to create a CHILDREN’S OUTDOOR BILL OF RIGHTS (#slcoutdoorchildren) and list of outdoor that every child growing up in Salt Lake City should have access to during their childhood for the sake of their physical, mental, social, and ecological health. The Children & Nature Network provides more resources. Activities include: - Seeing the Great Salt Lake - Catching a bug - Splash in a stream - Identify a wild plant - Reward stickers and journals for documenting experiences. rounds of golf are played annually, and more than 100,000 walkers concurrently use a 2-mile fitness trail, in part due to the park deficient adjacent neighborhood. The American Trails organization reports in their case study of this course that no trail users have been hit by errant golf balls. Lessons learned include expanding the 40-parking spot trailhead used by hikers and pedestrians to access the course and education around golf-trail etiquette and un-leashed dogs. Another good example in Portland is Heron Lakes Golf Course where a 200-yard stretch of the course is used to help fill a trail gap for a larger 40- mile loop. The “Just 5 Minutes from Here” wayfinding and informational campaign could leverage these activities and identify destinations to complete the outdoor activities and learn more about stewardship and ecologies of public lands. Case Studies - Boulder Public Library and Boulder Creek Path As the main branch of Boulder Public Library became slated for renewal, the City found that building a new location adjacent to the Boulder Creek Path and greenway would be a more cost-effective option. This also co-located a cultural destination (library) to the city’s downtown greenway and provided the public SALT LAKE CITY AND BOULDER, COLORADO OFFER TWO WAYS “JUST 5 MINUTES FROM HERE” COULD TAKE INSPIRATION.

Transformative Project CONNECT SLC’S TRAILS & PARKS TO THE CITY’S BACKYARD NATURAL ASSETS Chapter Four: Connect 80 Salt Lake City became a city in large part due to the scenic beauty of the mountains and lake embracing the valley. The 70.7 miles of existing Public Lands trails and 129 miles of planned trails enable many to enjoy walking and cycling access to shady natural areas and parks. But for many areas of the city, access to waterways, the lake and mountains is limited. To address this, “Connect Mountains to the Lake” envisions a vast network of running and walking paths, cycling routes and green corridors. Imagine being able to connect from the downtown core to the Great Salt Lake or Wasatch Mountain trails. Or, for daily commutes, imagine having safe and welcoming trails that provide opportunities to integrate exercise into the daily commute, making pulses race and filling senses with scenic beauty. “Connect Mountains to the Lake” would promote enhanced connections between neighborhoods and natural lands, particularly to the Foothills Natural Area. This project also supports protection and greater access of the Foothills Natural Area, a recent plan calls for 65 miles of new trails to help connect this natural treasure to more pedestrians, hikers and cyclists. Protecting the foothills with sustainable, well-connected trails that direct visitation to concentrated areas has an added benefit of protecting undisturbed wildlife habitat. Beyond the benefit to health and wellness, these connected corridors provide pathways for the movement of birds, mammals and fish and create opportunity for rainwater management that supports ecosystem health. Building and expanding greenways helps increase pervious surfaces that can help clean and manage storm water runoff all the while supporting mature tree canopy that provides shade and habitat.

The plan seeks to better connect the City’s park system to the natural environment, overcoming manmade barriers and unifying the City by connecting the Wastach foothills, benches, valley floor, creeks, Jordan River and Great Salt Lake wetlands. SLC Public Lands has come a long way to achieving the 1992 goals, with many trails underway or completed, enhancing access to nature and joining natural features. The goal “connect” seeks to further these objectives, completing proposed trails throughout the City while emphasizing opportunities for enhanced natural areas, greenways and connections to the Jordan River.

JUST FIVE MINUTES FROM HERE Transformative Project Chapter Four: Connect 86 Navigating Salt Lake City’s roads is fairly straightforward using the north, south, east and west grid system and 660’ x 660’ blocks. The 70.7-miles of Public Lands trails interface with these roads at trailheads and within green destinations of parks and natural areas. Within this network, hundreds of cultural destinations and stories await hikers, cyclists and pedestrians. Lessons of natural history, environmental stewardship and origin stories of parks are waiting to be told in the 120 languages currently spoken in Utah (Source: U.S. Census). National best practices also point to the advantage of linking cultural destinations of libraries, safe routes to schools and active recreational destinations to a city’s trail network. In Salt Lake City, many of these connections exist, just five minutes from people’s day to day lives and can be highlighted through signage, outreach education and digital campaigns. Co-locating cultural, natural and recreational destinations makes it easier for us to combine the trip to the library with a healthy family walk, enriching our day-to-day lives. Conversations with Salt Lake City residents who speak English as a second language reveal that including multi-lingual communications in signage and digitally helps make public lands feel more welcoming and inclusive. An added benefit to increased awareness of what is in public lands, is the opportunity to share how to take care of public lands and support tree canopy health, clean water and fresh air.

Parks departments across the country struggle with balancing limited resources and many priorities with achieving these ideals. For cities, there is also a growing awareness of how green space has historically been provided and maintained for different neighborhoods. Cities are collecting data and stories to document the historic inequities in the quantity and quality of green space (e.g., nationwide studies have found that lower income urban areas typically correlate with less tree canopy, less accessible green spaces and lower quality amenities). The Public Lands Department, in alignment with the mayor’s 2021 citywide vision, is committed to looking at top-down and bottom-up community-driven solutions to welcoming more people. The department will strive to reflect the diverse culture and history of Salt Lake City neighborhoods in the tapestry of parks and open spaces. WELCOME: ACTIVE, AUTHENTIC, AND INCLUSIVE SPACES CHAPTER Cultures of SLC are brought to life at park events like the Living Traditions Festival. Chapter Five: Welcome 92 CHALLENGES TO CREATING WELCOMING SPACES An increased awareness of the health and social benefits of living near park spaces has prompted cities across the country to close gaps in park access and attempt to provide all residents a park within walking distance of their home. Another traditional metric used to define Level of Service (LOS) for parks is to calculate the park acreage per population and try to maintain or improve on that baseline as the population grows. However, parks provide many different functions that do not always relate to their size, requiring more factors to be assessed to understand parks performance and establish targets. The 2019 Needs Assessment survey revealed that Westside parks receive significantly less visitation than other parks throughout the city. (12-13% vs. 29-56%). One contributing factor could be the lack of city-wide festivals held on the Westside. Additionally, Westside residents are more likely to visit east-side parks than east-side residents are likely to visit Westside parks. Equal investment in parks throughout Salt Lake City’s neighborhoods does not always translate to parks that equally serve each community, nor does it make up for any historic inequities. It takes a combination of factors to succeed in the creation of thriving, active spaces, where all feel safe and welcome. Some factors of creating a welcoming park include providing park amenities that are appealing to all ages and inclusive playgrounds and spaces for all abilities that are ADA accessible. While park proximity and amenities are some ways to measure park quality, they are not a singular solution for ensuring parks are meeting the needs of the community. Salt Lake’s various neighborhoods, communities, and cultures each have their own unique recipes for park success that need to be shared and generated through robust community engagement. Ensuring that all local community members are involved in the park planning process, with extra efforts to reach underrepresented or underserved populations, is essential to gleaning local knowledge for the right park ingredients and understanding factors that contribute to parks’ use and enjoyment. The NRPA Community Engagement Resource Guide defines equitable engagement stating “An inclusive and meaningful engagement process ensures that our parks and public spaces are created by the people they are intended to serve.”1 NRPA has also published reports, such as “Design, Place and Indigenous Ways: Working with Local Communities”2 and “Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in Parks and Recreation,”3 that serve as guides to learning from specific communities. 1 Community Engagement Resource Guide | Best Practice Resources | Publications and Research | NRPA2 Design, Place and Indigenous Ways: Working with Local Communities | Social Equity | Parks and Recreation Magazine | NRPA 3 2021deireport.pdf (nrpa.org) WELCOME:ACTIVE, AUTHENTIC AND INCLUSIVE SPACES “PLEASE PRIORITIZE THE SAFETY OF OUTDOOR SPACES FOR ALL.” “CREATE BEER GARDENS SUPPORTING LOCAL BREWERIES, CONCESSIONS SUPPORTING LOCAL CAFES AND RESTAURANTS WITH HEALTHY AND DIVERSE FOOD.” “MAKE PARKS ACCESSIBLE: TO ALL CULTURES, ABILITIES, & AGES.” -comments from the 2021 public survey ~ ~tQID . ~ \ -~ ------~ / ~ ~ --------- Chapter Five: Welcome 94 “I’d like to see the homeless needs be addressed as part of improving the public lands.

ADD FOOD VENUES OR TRUCKS. PLAN EVENTS THAT ARE BOTH FREE AND OPEN TO EVERYONE, INCLUDING DISABLED FOLKS IN CHAIRS AND USING WALKERS/CANES.” Partnering with local organizations provides opportunities for community-led art, education and recreation programs that integrate the character and cultures of the city’s neighborhoods into park spaces. Such programs, activities and events also contribute to active spaces that increase park use and enhance safety. Encouraging and providing support for youth grassroots movements is another way to let the community lead park advocacy and stewardship. Youth can become strong leaders who represent parks through youth city councils and youth parks boards. Creating city youth engagement plans to reach all ages can foster early appreciation for nature, civic involvement and lend a sense of belonging. Raising kids from a young age to be future stewards requires early exposure to positive experiences in nature that fills them with wonder, curiosity, and that feeling of being part of something larger than yourself. Youth engagement can include environmental education programming and finding locations for nature exploration and play instead of the typical playground. DESIRES AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR WELCOME Creating active, welcoming spaces was valued by the community. During the most recent survey, 86% of respondents were satisfied with the transformative project “Reimagine Neighborhood Parks” and 83% supported “Coming to a Park Near You.” Among survey participants in the west-side planning areas, which have the lowest park visitation in the city, Reimagine Neighborhood Parks was prioritized as a top urgent project that should happen right away. Enriching the discussion about creating welcoming spaces are select quotes from participants displayed to the right and on the previous page. Chapter Five: Welcome 96 CASE STUDIES New York City Parks formed the Community Parks Initiative (CPI) to advance equitable distribution in park investments. The program identifies underinvested parks and incorporated community-led solutions for park redevelopment through local partnerships, park volunteer opportunities, and extended outreach efforts to engage diverse and vulnerable populations from high-needs neighborhoods. With support from the CPI, community partners are empowered to sustain ongoing park contributions, leading activities ranging from beautification projects to basketball days. Philadelphia Parks has a concessions program providing amenities such as a pop-up beer garden and café, a permanent waterfront café on the Schuylkill River, and recreational bike rentals that rent tandem, deuce coup and surrey bikes at park locations throughout the city. The concessions program generates revenue while providing services that allow park visitors to stay and enjoy activities throughout the day. The City of San Jose formed a program to help address homelessness in parks. Non-profits will send teams to pick up litter, maintain the park landscaping and trails, and provide outreach to unsheltered populations in the parks. The pilot program is considering other additions, such as constructing prefab modular housing nearby provided to unhoused people in exchange for park cleanup and maintenance services.

REIMAGINE NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS Chapter Five: Welcome 100 WELCOME:REIMAGINE NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS During the Reimagine Nature public process, the community provided ideas to make neighborhood parks more safe and also more fun, reflecting the diverse communities that use each park. To address the lower visitation in Westside parks documented by the 2019 Needs Assessment, this transformative project envisions a community-driven approach to park improvements. The community can help guide physical improvements that tell the story of an historic spring or celebrate a neighborhood’s artistic style in a decorative community garden gate. The construction of these physical improvements in neighborhood parks create spaces that feel authentic, genuinely representing the style, history and recreation desires of the neighborhood. In tandem with community input, Public Lands will carefully look at the way department resources are prioritized. Creating a framework for equitable investment will involve identifying the communities most in need of park improvements through tools such as the equity mapping on page 48. It will also entail targeted investments in historically underserved neighborhoods, such as the recently passed City capital improvement plans and bond initiatives that include: • Investing in the Jordan River Parkway to match dollar for dollar investments in east side parks such as Liberty Park. The parkway includes over 158.3 acres of managed natural lands and is directly connected to 11 parks totaling over 440 acres. • Improvements to three west side parks to improve the amenities and add placemaking features and community character. • Creating the Glendale Regional Park, a destination park with event area and other unique recreational opportunities. Community members reimagined their neighborhood park at a “Paint the Pavement” event in Poplar Grove Park. Chapter Five: Welcome 102 WHAT IS A NEIGHBORHOOD PARK? A neighborhood park’s primary function is to serve the surrounding community and respond to the need for basic recreational amenities close to peoples’ homes. Ideally, these parks are geographically centered within a half mile of homes and are connected by pathways and sidewalks that provide safe walking and bicycle access. Neighborhood parks are typically smaller in size, ranging from about two to 15-acres, and have fewer purposes than larger community parks. They are intended to provide both active and passive recreation for residents for short daily leisure periods, and should be accessible for intensive use by children, family groups, small neighborhood gatherings, and senior citizens. Neighborhood parks typically have a mix of large and small amenities, such as open lawns and grass play areas, pavilions, playgrounds, sports courts and/or fields. On-street parking is typically adequate. As there are not enough resources to encourage extended periods of use- neighborhood parks do not usually have facilities such as lighting and restrooms. WHAT MAKES A GREAT NEIGHBORHOOD PARK? The answer to the question, “what makes a great neighborhood park” varies from one park to another. Local community values, in excellent physical condition well-maintained, amenities in good conditions accessible to all potential users all ages & abilities, people know about the facility and what they can do, free/affordable to use provide positive experiences diverse range of amenities and activities, all community members feel welcome and safe, comfortable place to spend time in are relevant to the communities they serve park design and programming reflects the culture and interest of the community members, surrounding community actively uses the park, user demographics reflect the community-based organizations are involved in park decisions and operations flexible and adaptable to changing circumstances park accommodates a variety of uses, features adapt to evolving circumstances, park enhances environmental sustainability/ resilience WELCOME:REIMAGINE NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS URBAN LAND INSTITUTE’S 5 CHARACTERISTICS OF HIGH-QUALITY PARKS Integrating input from the youth of the community is one strategy to ensure neighborhood parks serve all ages. Youth engagement can include environmental education programming or finding locations for nature exploration and play instead of the typical playground. 1 2 3 4 5 park purpose and size, and environmental conditions can lead to different sets of criteria for evaluating park quality. The variety of park settings and community needs makes it difficult to establish baseline standards each park should achieve based on quantitative considerations such as number of amenities. Yet a successful neighborhood park is apparent. It is full of activity and diverse people, well-loved by the community and frequently visited. Through research and engagement with parks and communities across the country, the Urban Land Institute, (ULI) has identified qualities that contribute to great parks which can be broadly applied to different park settings.1 The graphic on the right outlines these qualities. 1 uli-fivecharacteristics_high-qualityparks_fin. pdf Nature Playground, Story Mill Community Park - Bozeman, MT Youth Engagement Bailey Drive Gateway - Raleigh, NC Youth Engagment, West Gunnison Park - Gunnison CO -~ . . ~ -. ~ Chapter Five: Welcome 104 PARKS BY THE COMMUNITY High-quality neighborhood parks are reflective of neighborhood character by being culturally relevant to the communities they serve and providing a diversity of activities that represent the neighborhood. Parks can best achieve neighborhood character when they are planned and implemented with the imagination and effort of the local community. The Reimagine Nature engagement process successfully harnessed the power of neighborhood park investment. Public Lands Staff and students from the University of Utah’s Department of City and Metropolitan Planning invited neighbors of Poplar Grove Park to join Earth Day and Paint the Pavement events in which CASE STUDY: A CITIZEN’S GUIDE TO IMPROVING PARKS Livable Memphis, in partnership with The City of Memphis, created a comprehensive guide to help citizens get involved with their neighborhood park. The guide “shares ideas and practical information for park improvement projects, provides tools and resources to be a park advocate and demystifies the process of navigating government agencies.”1 It includes worksheets for conducting park assessments and neighborhood surveys, and provides how-to guidance on the logistics of leading park events, hosting volunteer cleanups and starting a “Friends of the Park” group to name just a few. 1 https://assets.speakcdn.com/assets/2075/ guidetoimprovingyourpark_2018. pdf?1537377320428 “75% OF SALT LAKE CITY’S PARKS & PUBLIC LANDS ARE NEIGHBORHOOD OR MINI PARKS AND PLAY A KEY ROLE IN ESTABLISHING COMMUNITY IDENTITY AT THE NEIGHBORHOOD LEVEL.”– 2019 public lands Needs Assessment STEPS TO MAKING A GREAT NEIGHBORHOOD PARK: (A COMMUNITY TOOLKIT) 1. Assess needs o Identify what services, activities or amenities may be missing from the community that the neighbor- hood park could provide. o Consult published research by organizations such as TPL, NRPA and ULI to understand successful elements of a great neighborhood park. Engage neighbors to understand which park criteria is most important and assess if your park is meeting needs or could use improvements. 2. Create community-led park strategies. o Create a process to enable ground-up, community park planning, advocacy and stewardship. 3. Identify opportunities for community-led programming and park activation o Are there local businesses, non-profits, cultural groups, religious organizations, clubs or community volunteer groups that could contribute to park educational programs, events, activities or classes? 4. Create passive and active recreation opportunities to activate the park and encourage com- munity presence. o Do park amenities and recreation opportunities serve a wide variety people and cater to all ages and abilities? o Are there comfortable spaces where neighbors can linger to relax and enjoy nature? o Are there a variety of spaces that facilitate gathering and group activities? 5. Create culturally relevant amenities. o What amenities would best serve the culture and trends of the community? 6. Identify elements to create place-based park design. o Are there unique characteristics of the environment, neighborhood or community that should be reflected in the park design? o Do natural features create possibilities for unique programming or recreation such as environmental education, water recreation, hiking, or winter sports? 7. Foster community stewardship o Are there community partners with an interest in volunteerism and stewardship? o Is there neighborhood interest in forming Friends of the Park groups to steward and advocate for the park? o Are there elements of park maintenance or research that could support educational, vocational train- ing, or internship opportunities? 8. Identify local environmental considerations. o Are there natural features that are important to maintain or restore? o Are there opportunities for the park design to improve local environmental conditions such as noise pollution, air quality, urban heat, etc.? STEPS TO MAKING A GREAT NEIGHBORHOOD PARK neighbors helped design spaces for park improvements, planted trees and painted a mural. These events resulted in a park reflective of community expression and generated input for Reimagine Nature plan efforts from a typically under-represented neighborhood. Formalizing a process for inviting the community to shape their own neighborhood parks has helped parks staff across the country make neighborhood investment a fundamental element of park planning. The toolkit example shown in Figure 23 provides a framework outlining steps both the Public Lands Department and community members can take to engage the community holistically as long-term partners for the planning and stewardship of neighborhood parks. WELCOME:REIMAGINE NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS Figure 23: Community Park Planning Framework Toolkit. Chapter Five: Welcome 106 WELCOME:REIMAGINE NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS HOW ARE PUBLIC LANDS’ RESOURCES PRIORITIZED? Long-term plans, like Reimagine Nature, and annual plans by City staff work in concert to determine how time and money is spent on Public Lands. Long-term plans inform annual work. Each ring of planning is informed by community and stakeholder input. City Council and Boards contribute to prioritization decisions. WHAT INPUTS INFORMED THE REIMAGINE NATURE PRIORITIZATION TOOLS? Figure 24 communicates how a combination of inputs such as feedback and findings from the 2019 Needs Assessment, community input from Reimagine Nature engagement focus groups and survey responses, and research on existing needs and desires are all inputs guiding the prioritization of master plan recommendations, such as the 10 transformative projects. CREATING EQUITABLE PRIORITIZATION AND INVESTMENT Providing equitable parks requires evaluating park quality not just at the site scale, but at the system scale as well. System-wide prioritization of park investment begins by establishing baseline criteria and taking stock of existing conditions. Inputs such as the 2019 Needs Assessment, equity and environmental mapping, community feedback, and park amenity and conditions assessments identify gaps in the system and can help establish standards for park quality and identify areas most in need of investment. An example of local equity mapping is found on page 48. In addition to understanding where resources are most needed, it is also important to consider how funding decisions affect equitable investment. Strategies that are beneficial to some communities, such as “Friend’s of the Parks” groups, can put communities who do not have the time or money to spend at a disadvantage. According to the Urban Institute’s report Investing in Equitable Urban Park Systems, “All funding models have equity implications: some are explicitly designed to address equity and meaningfully engage all residents, some risk deepening inequities and fueling displacement, and most depend on how they are used.” The report examines different funding models and their implications for equity. It provides strategies for equitable investment practices such as redistributing funds from “Friends of the Parks” groups into city-wide systems, engaging community advisory committees in funding processes, and coordinating park and City planning efforts to discover cross- departmental alignment in both goals and funding.

COMING SOON TO A PARK NEAR YOU ~ ~ ~~--~ -~ Chapter Five: Welcome 110 SUPPORT ACTIVITY To take advantage of the beautiful spaces and green destinations Salt Lake City already has, this transformative project aims to increase use of public lands through events, programs, recreation and concessions. National parks and recreation organizations call this type of improvement “activating” parks and green spaces or creating vitality in parks through providing programs or physical features that invite activity. SUPPORT EVENTS One of the unexpected outcomes of the 2020-2021 COVID-19 pandemic safety protocols included a dramatic increase in the public visiting outdoor parks and green spaces. Events that typically happened indoors including concerts, conferences, classes and meetings transitioned to the outside. Building upon this rediscovery of outdoor venues, this transformative project welcomes partnerships with community arts, music and performance groups to look for ways to use Salt Lake City outdoor public spaces as places for events. Everyday activities like outdoor yoga, a quinceañera (celebration of a girl’s 15th birthday) or picnicking under the shade of a park tree are also important activities that can be supported through investment in infrastructure (e.g., shade, picnic tables), event policy and staff services and higher levels of maintenance in city parks. ENVIRONMENTAL ED Keeping environmental education in mind, this transformative project welcomes opportunities to expand nature-based and volunteer programs. With training in horticulture, cultivation and nature stewardship, more public participants could volunteer and support the great need to take care of what we have in Salt Lake City parks, urban tree canopy and greenspaces. YEAR-ROUND PROGRAMMING Parks see the most visitation during the warmer months. Offering a diversity of activities as shown in Figure 25 can extend park-use to all four seasons, increasing opportunities for winter outdoor activity and the associated benefits that come with adequate sunlight exposure during the dark winter months.

The Public Lands Department will balance providing safe green spaces for the public while also protecting iconic, irreplaceable natural resources that keep the city wild. Stewardship demands are profound: diminishing environmental health, increasing need for visitor management, increasing maintenance demands, increasing numbers of unhoused using open space as refuge, and increasing costs to provide infrastructure and services to a growing city. In the Public Lands’ domain, the Department will lead the stewardship and care of urban green spaces. The Department will seek out opportunities to partner with advocacy groups and schools to educate on how the public can be stewards of the land and learn its history. PROTECT: A COMMITMENT TO STEWARDSHIPCHAPTER Public Lands Staff creating wetland habitat at Fairmont Pond. Chapter Six: Protect FACTORS IMPACTING STEWARDSHIP Stewardship can be defined as taking care of public lands now and managing resources to protect public lands for future communities of people, plants and wildlife. Taking this a step further, a 2018 literature review of environmental stewardship concepts synthesized a more nuanced definition focused on local actions: “Local environmental stewardship is actions taken by individuals, groups or networks of actors, with various motivations and levels of capacity, to protect, care for or responsibly use the environment in pursuit of environmental and/or social outcomes in diverse social- ecological contexts.”1 From this research group’s extensive review of existing management and governance practices, they identified key factors to local environmental stewardship capacity that also 1 Bennett, N.J., Whitty, T.S., Finkbeiner, E. et al. Environmental Stewardship: A Conceptual Review and Analytical Framework. Environmental Management 61, 597–614 (2018). https://doi.org/10.1007/s00267-017-0993-2 PROTECT:A COMMITMENT TO STEWARDSHIP resonated with findings from the Reimagine Nature community outreach. Firstly, local community assets including “social capital,” or trust in local government agencies and the ability to feel safe and welcome in public spaces is critical. Stakeholders and members of the Salt Lake City community cited “cultural capital” including a community’s understanding of place, history and practices as important to building motivation for stewardship. Additional factors supported by best practices and community feedback include “financial capital” of both the government and individuals that affords stewardship actions plus “human capital” of stewardship actors (community, volunteers, staff, etc.) and their degree of training, skill level and available time. SOCIAL CAPITAL & HOMELESSNESS What social capital (e.g., cues to care, stewardship actions, etc.) make Salt Lake City residents feel safe and welcome in public lands? From engagement feedback, the public expressed a deep appreciation of nature and green space that is woven throughout the city. They expressed that well-maintained, well-lit and well-attended public space provides a sense of safety. There was divided response on the larger societal issue of people experiencing homelessness and those impacts on public spaces including parks, natural areas and trails that fall under the Public Lands Department’s operation and maintenance responsibilities. On one end of the spectrum, some members of the public demanded more enforcement stewardship actions from the department and city agencies at large that ranged from more eyes on the park to removing unhoused individuals altogether. On the other end of the spectrum, community members called for ways to coexist with people experiencing homelessness or support those individuals with more social services in public spaces like lockers to store personal property. No matter what end of the spectrum the public may be on, the impacts to Public Lands is profound with 345 staff hours and $23,084 of maintenance a year devoted to clean-up activities “RECRUIT STEWARDS, RANGERS/ AMBASSADORS, AND VOLUNTEERS FROM MINORITY COMMUNITIES NEAR THE PUBLIC LANDS.” -comments from the 2021 public survey “REACH OUT AND LISTEN. SPECIFIC PLACE-BASED RESPONSES FOR ACTS OF RESTORATION, MAINTENANCE, AND DEVELOPMENT.” “RETHINK AND RESTRUCTURE OUR NATURAL AREAS TO INCLUDE THE CONTRIBUTIONS, LAND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS, AND BETTER SYSTEMS OF CARE OF THE LAND BY INDIGENOUS PEOPLE.” 118 Chapter Six: Protect related to the unhoused finding no other options than using parks, natural areas and trails as their homes. Nield and Rose, researchers from the University of Arizona and University of Utah, conducted a recent case study2 on the Jordan River Parkway and the impacts of people experiencing homelessness. Their community interviews found similar responses to those cited above for Reimagine Nature. Their report also analyzed the impact of nationwide short- term, symptomatic responses to homelessness in public lands and found that those measures may appease neighboring businesses and residents temporarily, they typically prolong the issue of the unhoused in public lands and keep management departments in a seemingly never-ending cycle of ultimately ineffective solutions. Bottom line, social capital needs to be strengthened through collaborative solutions to stewardship and cues to care. Public Lands is seeking to create more of these collaborative opportunities by expanding the 2 https://www.nrpa.org/parks-recreation- magazine/2019/january/addressing-homelessness-in-public-parks/ successful Trail Ambassadors program into a system-wide Public Lands Ambassadors program. The “Revive Our River” transformative project highlighted in this chapter provides for targeted, local green space in which to implement collaborative stewardship solutions, building up social capital and improving the environmental health of a riparian habitat that benefits both east and west sides of Salt Lake City while also improving conditions for birds, wildlife and aquatic creatures. CULTURAL CAPITAL As part of this master plan’s community engagement, Public Lands partnered with the University of Utah Planning Department Westside Studio. Students in the studio hosted a focus groups in early 2021 on the theme “Placemaking, Community Building and Equity.” Tying into the 2018 “Environmental Stewardship” research, understanding how a community’s culture and history is expressed in the landscape can help increase motivation for green space stewardship. Westside Studio students heard that the community desires to partner with Public Lands to “understand, honor and promote the knowledge and presence of rich traditions of diverse cultures” reflected in the city’s green places, parks, natural areas, trails and golf landscapes. In placemaking workshops, students found “over 80% of participants associated natural elements and family connections with their given memory.” These local findings support this chapters second emblematic transformative project, “Sustaining Our Stories,” which can help build cultural capital that in turn inspires motivation for local stewardship actions. “Sustaining Our Stories” also seeks to protect the cultural capital found in historic assets such as the buildings and landscapes that keep the stories and cultures of the city’s past alive. FINANCIAL AND HUMAN CAPITAL The old adage “time is money” also relates to organization and individual capacity to implement local environmental stewardship actions. Salt Lake City demographic trends point to more households falling below the affordability threshold for living and working in Salt Lake City. North American cities with similar demographic trends struggle with balancing delivery of equal quality of life amenities (e.g., well-maintained public lands) with a greater percentage of the population needing additional support to access those amenities equitably. Plus, any historic areas of inequity are magnified and struggle even more to catch up with quality and community stewardship of public spaces in affluent neighborhoods. From an individual perspective to an agency perspective, the Public Lands Department also faces steep challenges to balance resources and keep up with needs. NRPA’s 2021 Agency Performance Review finds that parks departments around the country typically provide 8.2 full time equivalent employees (FTEs) per 10,000 residents to maintain and protect resources. Public Lands would need a total of 160.7 FTEs to meet the current number of residents. Currently, Public Lands has approximately 100 FTEs, or 5.1 FTEs per 10,000 residents. As the City continues to grow, the Public Lands service gap could continue to widen. With over 30,000 new residents expected to move to Salt Lake City by 2040, an additional 15.3 staff will be needed to maintain current staffing levels per capita. To match national averages, in year 2040, Public Lands will need 184.9 FTEs. PROTECT:A COMMITMENT TO STEWARDSHIP The Department’s current spending in 2020 was $15,670,096, or $79.95 per capita. US peer cities per capita annual operating budget spending averaged $88.30. To keep up with peer cities, SLC Public Lands would need an annual operating budget of $17,306,800, an increase of $2-million. By 2040, Public Lands would need to have a budget of $19,955,800. Additional data collection and research is needed to determine an appropriate method to address a backlog of deferred maintenance costs. An inventory of Public Lands’ investments and their conditions is underway which will inform future deferred maintenance planning efforts. “I WANT YOU TO ACT AS IF THE HOUSE IS ON FIRE, BECAUSE IT IS.” - Environmentalist Greta Thunberg, World Economic Forum, Davos, 24 January 2019 ..,..--- - / / -------- ....... -------- ..,..- ~ ~ ~ ~ -~~-~ ~ ~ Chapter Six: Protect 120 “CONSIDER THE WATER NEEDS OF CURRENT AND FUTURE VEGETATION; MAKE PLANS THAT REDUCE WATER USE WITH NATIVE AND ADAPTIVE SPECIES WHILE ADDING TREES AND OTHER PLANTS.” “I WOULD HOPE COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT COULD BE INCLUDED IN THE PLAN.

Looking forward over the next 10 to 20 years, it is clear that investment in Public Lands and ensuring larger, citywide efforts to keep Salt Lake City affordable will have a profound effect on local stewardship capacity for individuals and institutions. DESIRES AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR PROTECT In the 2020 community survey, the word “protect” most often resonated as a goal with the thousands of participants. In PROTECT:A COMMITMENT TO STEWARDSHIP reflecting on the concept and ideas from the 2021 survey, many citizens took the time to add write- in comments encouraging the planning team to prioritize ways to protect and restore nature and wildlife. Enriching the discussion about protecting nature are direct quotes from participants found below and to the right. Chapter Six: Protect 122 LOCAL STEWARDSHIP IN ACTION Youth volunteers are a big component of the Parley’s Rails, Trails and Tunnels Coalition. The organization collects donations to support the trail in addition to providing volunteer opportunities which include helping maintain the trail, planning and trail design, fundraising events. The International Peace Gardens Academy pairs stewardship alongside educational experiences. Volunteers can learn gardening skills, help maintain and cleanup natural areas near the Jordan River and lead educational garden tours. The group also provides opportunities for members of heritage groups to share their culture and traditions through storytelling activities in the garden. Salt Lake City Public Lands is an active steward of the city’s natural and wild spaces. The Natural Lands Division works to restore and create native landscapes, such as the newly created wetlands at Fairmont Park. Public Lands also provides stewardship opportunities such as Puncturevine Pulls, Canoe Cleanup Day on the Jordan River, and a 9-Line Dig Day at the 9-Line Bike Park.

Transformative Project Chapter Six: Protect 126 PROTECT:REVIVE OUR RIVER Salt Lake City’s iconic Jordan River took its name from the historic river in the Middle East, a sacred landscape and threshold to the “Promised Land” in Judaism and Christian traditions. For other cultures, fertile river valleys have also played a critical role in civilization, agriculture and are also seen as sacred landscapes. Native American groups recognize the life- giving qualities of rivers: “If there’s water nearby, I’ll go there for solace…. Both the river and I have changed, but our course remains the same” (from “River Sonnet” poem by Tacey M. Atsitty, Diné). For many North American cities, the form of development and attitude towards city rivers range from embracing portions of the river for recreation and commerce, to using the river for stormwater and waste management and to “turning our backs” on city rivers as areas full of insects, pests and flooding. In Salt Lake City, the community has voiced a strong desire to protect the Jordan River as a natural asset by expanding and improving ecosystem health and recreational experiences along the 60-mile Jordan River Parkway Trail. For improved recreation, the public shared that additional maintenance and safety amenities like trail lighting would make the Jordan River Parkway experience more welcoming. Additionally, the Jordan River lands are adjacent to many underserved communities and investment in high quality maintenance and recreation infrastructure can help bring more equitable service to Westside neighborhoods. A key opportunity for ecosystem health is that the scale of available land along the Jordan River Parkway provides an opportunity to greatly increase tree canopy in an environment that can support long-term growth of healthy, mature shade trees. These lands offer a consolidated opportunity to protect and enhance the tree canopy as the urban forest declines through impacts of climate change, insufficient stewardship (e.g., irrigation of young trees) by adjacent landowners, and the illegal removal of trees during construction as the city population grows and redevelops. Urban infrastructure has shaped the Jordan River throughout SLC’s history. “Revive Our River” invites the community to reimagine the river as the ecological heart of the city. ~ lt-\~~"1,..:5 ;l&t:~15:f.J..'1!':l!--".. • ~ ~ ..,_,._,,..,-,"A ~ ~im.:i~~w17,~~1? ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ f;, Chapter Six: Protect 128 TRAILHEAD LIGHTING & RANGER AMBASSADORS CONNECT TO TRANSIT, BICYCLE ROUTES & IMPROVE PARKING IMPROVE BIRD HABITAT PROVIDE ADA ACCESS ENHANCE TRAILS & ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION INCREASE TREE CANOPY IMPROVE WATER QUALITY CREATE A PADDLE TRAIL NATIVE REVEGETATION & INVASIVE PLANT REMOVALEXPAND PARKS & AMENITIES ACTIVATE SPACE Invest in tree canopy, grounds maintenance, a recreational paddle trail, and park development, renewal and expansion from Glendale Regional Park to the Regional Athletic Complex.

SUSTAINING OUR STORIES Chapter Six: Protect 134 PROTECT:SUSTAINING OUR STORIES Landscape architects Matthew Potteiger and Jamie Purinton write in “Landscape Narratives: Design Practices for Telling Stories” that storytelling is “fundamental to the way people shape and make sense of experience and landscapes.” The trees, material of paths, recognizable businesses around a park’s perimeter and other physical qualities of parks and natural areas are the setting where the city’s collective and individual stories “take place.” As Salt Lake City grows and welcomes more people, important historic stories and origin stories of parks and public lands are at risk of being lost in the passage of time and dynamic changing of place. As cities reconcile the recent history of colonization by Westerners, Native American stories and ways of creating shared places become important. For youth these stories can add an additional path to understand and appreciate green space and civic commons. The humanistic practices of art, literature, community advocacy, history, drama, music, street arts, architecture and landscape architecture all have methods and means to design and tell stories of the land and cultures both past and present. This transformative project aims to create landscape “canvasses,” both by preserving historic, cultural assets and their stories and by creating opportunities for storytelling with partner groups and the community. In documenting and “Sustaining Our Stories,” Public Lands preserves and protects the cultural threads that create a sense of place in Salt Lake City’s nature. Restoring and interpreting structures within Public Lands, such as Allen Park, Fisher Mansion, and Warm Springs Park are sizable investments of this Transformative Project. The many cultures and stories that shaped Salt Lake City are embedded in historic architecture and landscapes such as the springs and historic bathhouse at Warm Springs Park. “[AN IMPORTANT] ELEMENT OF GREAT PUBLIC SPACES IS THEIR ABILITY TO HIGHLIGHT AN AREA’S CULTURAL IDENTITY- WHETHER THROUGH LOCAL PRACTICES, LOCATION, HISTORY, DESIGN, ARCHITECTURE, OR ART. THIS IS A CRUCIAL FACTOR FOR CREATING A SENSE OF PLACE THAT CAN WITHSTAND THE TEST OF TIME.” -PROJECT FOR PUBLIC SPACES, MARCH 2016 Chapter Six: Protect 136 CASE STUDY- RENAMING ADVOCACY Over the last decade, the National Parks Conservation Association had advocated changing the names of several of landscape features in National Parks to reflect indigenous names (e.g., proposal to change Hayden Valley PLACE NAMES Places are shaped by the names they are given, stories that are told and histories that are taught. Over time, unshared stories become at risk of being lost, forgotten without a place in the historical narrative. The Native Lands Map to the right, highlights indigenous tribal landscapes around and in the Salt Lake Valley that were home to the Ute, Goshute and Shoshone for thousands of years. It demonstrates place before European settlers structured and claimed the land with borders, names and property. It strives “to map Indigenous lands in a way that changes, challenges, and improves the way people see the history of their countries and “IF HISTORY CAN BE READ IN THE NAMES ON THE LAND, THEN IT IS VERY PARTIAL AND VERY FRAGMENTED,” -Lauret Savoy, author of “Trace: Memory, History, Race, and the American Landscape” Blackfeet leaders Bird Rattler (far left), Curly Bear (second from left) and Wolf Plume (third from left) meet with Stephen Mather, soon-to-be Park Service director (sitting) and other officials to respectfully protest the use of English-language names in Glacier National Park in 1915.1 Photo Source: https://www.npca.org/articles/2189-naming-matters-photo credit copyright Marian Albright Schenck/The Collections of Horace Albright 1 https://www.npca.org/articles/2189-naming-matters Public Lands can help communities share their stories by serving as a venue, such as the Temporary Museum of Permanent Change, a collection of rotating artistic exhibits Downtown that highlight the stories of the people of SLC. peoples.”1 Similarly, Public Lands can provide an opportunity to keep indigenous histories alive by recognizing and sharing important place names and stories. 1 https://native-land.ca/ in Yellowstone to Buffalo Nations Valley). Similar efforts are met with support and detractors. There are sentimental attachments to place names or others may not resonate with current trends towards what some people call a “cancel” culture. This case study reflects the potential opportunities and challenges Salt Lake City Public Lands could face in the process of “Sustaining Our Stories.” A good way to provide space for the community to brainstorm, respectfully disagree and come to consensus would be to leverage the Reimagine Nature engagement tactics and partnerships with community groups like the University of Utah staff and students.

Three books speak eloquently on this topic. Features in parks, such as this chalk wall, can provide opportunities for people of all ages to tell their stories.

In September 2018, the City of San Francisco began their partnership to re-envision and renovate Buchanan Mall. The City and other partnerships engaged in a intensive engagement with the community to develop and discuss the plan. Once the concept plan was complete, the City selected one block to fully design and build to show the community the possibilities of their shared spaces. One attraction in the developed block was the installation of the “Activation”. The Activation is a temporary installation of gardens, benches, archways, historical photos, lighting, and two “audio- As Robert McFarland writes in his 2015 book Landmarks, which collated thousands of words describing the landscapes of Britain and Ireland, “this is a book about the power of language— strong style, single words—to shape our sense of place.” In addition to the cultural histories of people who have lived in the Valley’s landscapes, there are words all of us are unfamiliar with or as McFarland writes, “we have forgotten 10,000 words for our landscapes.” The 2006 book Home Ground: A Guide to the American Landscape compiles over 800 fading landscape words from 45 poets and writers. In this book edited by Barry Lopez and Debra Gwartney, words such as “blind creek” are defined: “To most eyes a dry creek is a place where a creek once flowed and after a rain will likely flow again. Such a waterway is an ephemeral creek, technically. But by another way of seeing, domes” providing stories from the neighborhood. The community worked together to design prototypes of the Activation dome and were hired to help build the installment. This created a sense of ownership over their space and fostered conversations among community members. )~ RL NDMARK t ,1~~-• .. ' 1( • ~ ,,_....~ :a . .... ~~~ ... -::: ~ ~OM!; GROUND ,6.

Providing the amount of public properties in relation to population growth needs is increasingly challenging in a city reaching maximum expansion build-out with limited opportunities to aquire large natural areas or small parks in areas of dense development with high land prices. City departments and partners work together to provide green space and recreation opportunities in our rapidly re-developing downtown. We innovate and make smart use of the public properties we have, being strategic with our resources and creating funding sources to expand our urban forest, trails, park system, and natural areas. GROW: EXPAND OUR PUBLIC LANDS SYSTEM SLC golf courses provide an opportunity to greatly increase the urban forest and provide it with care. CHAPTER Chapter Seven: Grow 142 EXPANDING THE PUBLIC LANDS SYSTEM 2020 Census data shows that Utah is the fastest-growing state in the nation.1 Over 30,000 people are expected to move to Salt Lake City by 2040. In order to maintain the current level of park space provided to the population, as of the 2019 Needs Assessment, the city would have to add 94 additional acres of park space to Public Lands. That’s roughly equivalent to adding another Liberty Park to the city. This acreage is a shifting metric as parks, such as the new Allen Park, have been added to the system yet the population of the city has grown faster than predicted in 2019. Like other North American cities with expanding population, challenges to growing or acquiring more green space include rising land prices, limited resources for taking care of current lands and competing land use needs. In terms of walking distance to green spaces, Plan Salt Lake sets a 2040 aspirational target of every 1 https://gardner.utah.edu/census-2020-utah-fastest-growing-state-in-u-s/ GROW:EXPAND OUR PUBLIC LANDS SYSTEM resident living within a half-mile of public lands. While most residents meet this criteria, the denser urban communities of Downtown, Sugar House and the Central Planning Area still have gaps in walkable access to parks.2 In addition to public parks for recreation, expansion of Natural Lands and trail corridors for land and water conservation, wildlife habitat, and other ecological or scenic character purposes is also of high importance. The 2010 Salt Lake Open Space Acquisition Strategy identified many key opportunities and since then area plans have highlighted urban to wilderness opportunities for expanding Public Lands holdings. RISING LAND PRICES AND GROWING POPULATION The Deseret News3 recently reported that 2020 saw double- digit percentage home price increases and classifies the 2 Salt Lake City Parks and Public Lands Needs Assessment, (2019)3 https://www.deseret.com/2021/5/13/22412416/ utahs-place-in-the-west-raging-housing- market-salt-lake-city-rising-housing-prices-record-breaking Salt Lake metro as one of the hottest housing markets in the West. Salt Lake City’s Downtown Alliance4 found that real estate and construction costs are at an all- time high and there are insufficient green spaces downtown. Most cities offer three times more green space to downtown residents than Salt Lake City. The 2019 Needs Assessment5 also found that the downtown core is especially lacking in green space compared to the rest of the city and identified the Depot District, Central Business District, East Downtown and 400 South as population growth areas of the city that will require additional open space to meet the needs of future residents. RESOURCES TO MAINTAIN AND ACQUIRE Acquiring additional land for parks, natural lands, and trails is costly and maintaining new spaces will add resource burden to the existing deferred maintenance of existing public lands. 4 https://www.downtownslc.org/images/pdfs- doc/2020_State_of_Downtown_v10.pdf 5 Salt Lake City Parks and Public Lands Needs Assessment, (2019). - plan Salt lake, 2014 “OPEN SPACE AND THE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT ARE DEFINING FEATURES OF SALT LAKE CITY. OUR BEAUTIFUL CITY PARKS AND OPEN SPACES, PAIRED WITH THE DRAMATIC VIEWS OF AND PROXIMITY TO THE WASATCH AND OQUIRRH MOUNTAINS, MAKE SALT LAKE CITY A BEAUTIFUL PLACE TO LIVE AND VISIT. THESE AESTHETIC AND RECREATIONAL QUALITIES ATTRACT NEW RESIDENTS, VISITORS, EMPLOYERS, AND INVESTMENTS TO OUR CITY.” Chapter Seven: Grow 144 Some municipalities utilize developer contributions as one mechanism, that when property tuned, contributes to parks provision for new residents. The 2010 Open Space Acquisition Strategy lists a number of conservation tools including: bargain sale of land, parkland/ trail dedications, zoning for conservation, trail easements, conservation easements, purchase of development rights, transfer of development rights, conservation subdivisions, deed restrictions, wildlife property tax valuation, partnerships for funding leverage and stewardship. Criteria for new open space includes evaluating benefits of scenic assets, ecological health and the neighboring community, and connection to other public lands. Other mechanisms, such as Community Reinvestment Bonds for capital improvements, will act as another resource for improving public lands, with funding allotted to major projects which include: creating a regional park at Glendale, restoring historic buildings and landscapes in parks such as Allen Park and Warm Springs Park, continuing implementation of the Foothills Trails System Plan, creating a wood re-utilization plan for the Urban Forestry division and improving the Jordan River. COMPETING LAND USE GOALS Affordable housing and supporting commercial businesses and utilities are high needs for a growing city. Also important is public lands infrastructure. University of Chicago psychologist Marc Berman states, “natural spaces are not an amenity, they’re a necessity—we have to have it. Just like clean water or clean air, we have to have natural spaces in our environment for people to function well.”6 Given Downtown and the Central Planning Area’s lack of adequate greenspace, in addition to a growing population, protecting and enhancing SLC’s existing parks and open space and efforts to increase the provision of greenspace are of top importance. While other land uses such as affordable housing provide a worthy cause for urban 6 https://www.discovermagazine.com/health/ green-spaces-are-a-necessity-not-an-amenity-how-can-cities-make-them development and infill, public greenspace is an irreplaceable asset within the city. Not only is it crucial to protect the few remaining slices of greenspace in the city for wildlife and ecosystem benefit, it is economically a valuable asset for the City to retain. Based on the average land value of SLC planning areas that contain homes today, if the 3,699 acres of existing parks and golf courses were overcome by development, replacing those acres – and the essential associated environmental and health benefits - would cost approximately 1.4 billion dollars.7 However, in some situations nonperforming lands could be swapped for those that better serve Public Lands mission. 7 Calculated with GIS data from the Salt Lake County Assessor’s Parcels and Salt Lake City planning areas. DESIRES AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR GROW In reflecting on one word that sums up the public’s vision for the next 10 years of public lands, “grow” came in as the second most popular. Digging into the hundreds of comments made from the public, many people reflected on the need to invest in green spaces on the Westside of the city and from a citywide perspective to add spaces where plants and wildlife needs come first. Ideas on how to grow public lands from the public include: “More natural wildlife areas without paved trails. A NY Central Park size park on the West side of the valley.” “Require that all new apartment building complexes have green spaces as part of their design.” “[Experiment with] a planting of some native species, you know, the little copses of oaks and maples and box elders that exist in that Golf Course are really needed and actually harbor quite a bit of wildlife.” “94 ACRES OF NEW PARK LAND WILL BE REQUIRED BY 2040 TO MEET FUTURE NEEDS AT THE SAME LEVELS OF SERVICE AS TODAY.” - 2019 SLC Public Lands Needs assessment “MOST CITIES OFFER THREE TIMES MORE GREEN SPACE TO DOWNTOWN RESIDENTS THAN SALT LAKE CITY.” Chapter Seven: Grow 146 General standards for different park types (classifications), shown in Figure 29, helps to provide parameters for creating equitable park investments and expectations. For example, Neighborhood Parks are unlikely to include restrooms as this expense is better reserved for Regional, Community, and Special Use Parks that may require greater PARK CLASSIFICATIONS AND STANDARDS travel and duration of visitation. However, these classifications do not dictate aesthetics and allow for selection of a variety of features- such as types of sports courts, community garden, or play features. Upgrading parks to include amenities listed for their categories, such as Glendale to be a regional park, is one way that park capacity to support a growing population can be met. As the city nears build- out and it becomes even more challenged to acquire additional park acreage it will be important grow within existing parks to do more to meet needs.

May include associated natural or manicured landscape with paved and unpaved trails. May include ornamental plazas, special features like gardens, bike parks and trailheads, stormwater infrastructure and urban forest enhancements. 9-Line, Folsom, Green Loop, Jordan River Parkway, planted medians. Golf Courses 100 – 250 acres for 9 to 18-hole course. City or broader region Large expanses of turf grass, trees, and small water features that are maintained for the game of golf. May include trails or trail ac-cess within non-playable portions of the property so long as golf activity remains unencumbered by trail access. Rolling terrain without overly steep sections. Appropriate soils, drainage, and water availability to support turf grass. Small water features and other natural elements add to the complexity and difficulty of the game while also providing habitat for urban wildlife and potential for stormwater retention.

INCREASING LEVEL OF SERVICEAND FUTURE INVESTMENTS The National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA) finds that city parks departments on average offer one park for every 2,777 residents and 9.9 acres of parkland per 1,000 residents. While this is a national benchmark average, NRPA acknowledges that park agencies are as diverse as the landscapes and people they serve. There is no one, standard way of measuring level of service that works for every city. The people, staff and stakeholders of a city must provide input on the values and needs of their own communities for access to the urban outdoors and environmental services provided by parks, urban forests and green spaces. Level of service is often measured by acres of parks and open space per person. Yet many measures such as park investment and availability of park amenities contribute to the level of park service each neighborhood receives. Due to limited available space, areas of the city with higher densities will need to find creative solutions to increase park level of service to meet the demands of a growing population. At the same time other planning areas contain substantial acreage of parks and natural lands which are in need improved maintenance and the addition of amenities to equally serve the community. Figure 30, the map to the right shows near-term Public Lands’ investments that seek to improve the level of service of parks and amenities across the city. Significant near-term investments are broken down by planning area on the following pages, highlighting major improvements and transformative projects that will serve each community.

NORTHWEST AND WEST SALT LAKE The westside has a higher level of service in terms of park and natural land acreage than the citywide average, and is connected by the Jordan River. Increasing park service in these communities will involve investing in existing public spaces to enhance environmental quality and increase park amenities. There is a very high need for investments in these two planning areas to achieve citywide equity goals. Population is growing in this area and residents are concerned about rising housing costs, gentrification and seeing their cultural identity disappearing from these places. NRPA and other GROW:EXPAND OUR PUBLIC LANDS SYSTEM park researchers are working to expand a list of recommendations for parks-related anti-displacement strategies that should be employed for this area.1 Providing existing parks with amenities that serve the needs of the community will be important to incorporate into future investments. There is also a high percentage of children, youth and seniors compared to the rest of the city’s population and park investments should make extra consideration for these groups. 1 https://www.nrpa.org/parks-recreation-magazine/2019/december/greening-without-gentrification/ Near Term Investments: »Invest in the Jordan River and the Jordan River Parkway Trail »Invest in Fisher Mansion »Invest in Glendale Regional Park »Identify opportunities for separated bike lane/ multiuse paths to close gaps »Implement the Surplus Canal Trail »Add uses to Glendale Golf Course to make it more accessible to the community. »Improve westside park amenities, placemaking and programming Glendale Golf Course Glendale Regional Park 1700 S Park 9 Line Trail 900 S River Park Fischer Mansion Jordan Park Jordan River Parkway Trail Jordan River Parkway Trail Rosewood Park Riverside Park Constitution Park CottonwoodPark WestpointePark Poplar Grove Park Regional Athletic Complex Sherwood Park Proposed Surplus Canal Trail 1700 S 2100 S 700 WI-15I-15 I-15I-15 REDWOOD RD.REDWOOD RD.NORTH TEMPLE Rose Park Golf Course Future SLCPL Native Plant Nursery 0 0 Chapter Seven: Grow 154 CAPITOL HILL DOWNTOWN CENTRAL CITY GROW:EXPAND OUR PUBLIC LANDS SYSTEM CAPITOL HILL, DOWNTOWN AND CENTRAL CITY These areas of the city are experiencing an extremely high degree of change.

A multi-varied and aggressive approach which includes public and private strategies as well as public-private partnerships is needed to address the need for more green space in the heart of the City. The City should identify ways to reinvent city streets, taking advantage of the wide right-of- ways to create linear green space. Other ways to provide green space could involve allocating space for parks on City-owned blocks. Additionally, the City could encourage developers to include outdoor green space assets for their residents to provide respite from the urban environment. Strategies could also include expanding sidewalks and park strips to create space for more outdoor dining and pedestrian activity. Expanding the park strips provides permeable surfaces for stormwater collection and adequate growing space for trees, cooling the hot, paved urban environment. Identifying space for community gardens, which are in high demand in these neighborhoods would also provide needed urban green space.

While these planning areas have a small percentage of park acres compared to other parts of the city, they have the greatest access to natural lands due to their proximity to the foothills. Investments in linear recreation, and multi-use paths that connect neighborhoods to existing natural lands and the Foothills Natural Area will be key to improving park service in these neighborhoods. Utilizing or adding multiple uses to other greenspaces such as the City Cemetery and golf courses are also top strategies to improving access.

The community identified two CASE STUDIES The Lafitte Greenway, a 54 acre multi-use trail and linear park system, utilizes a former shipping canal and railroad right-of-way to create a network of shaded green space which connects people and communities in seven historic New Orleans neighborhoods. The planning process accompanied a community-led revitalization strategy for each neighborhood, showcasing neighborhood character and integrating the desires of local residents. The greenway “incorporates sustainable design through green stormwater infrastructure, native plantings, adaptive re-use of existing buildings and the reduction of impervious surfaces.” The City of Ann Arbor, Michigan provides stewardship opportunities for residents to help maintain local parks through their Adopt-a- Park volunteer program. The program allows neighborhood associations, individuals, or group organizations to customize their own program for volunteering by setting their own maintenance regiment, schedule and plan for what they would specifically like to work on. Volunteers are able to foster a sense of park ownership while learning about topics of interest. The Downtown Seattle Association (DSA) creates partnerships to activate Downtown parks and public spaces. The group collaborates with the Seattle Parks department, friends-of-the-parks groups, and local artists to enliven Downtown spaces with events and art installations. Artists and organizations are invited to host an array of activities in parks such as “fitness classes, arts and crafts, children’s activities, dance and pet events.”1 The DSA also facilitates projects that include adding flowers, vibrant, artistic crosswalks and creative lighting and wayfinding to Downtown spaces. 1 https://www.a2gov.org/departments/Parks-Recreation/administrative/adopt-a-park/Pages/Adopt-A-Park.aspx Photo: Lafitte Greenway, New Orleans Louisiana, Design Workshop Photo: Ann Arbor Adopt-A-Park Volunteer Program, https://www.a2gov.org/departments/Parks-Recreation/administrative/adopt-a-park/Pages/Adopt-A-Park.aspx Photo: Downtown Seattle Association art in public spaces, https://downtownseattle.org/art-projects/come-play-westlake-park-occidental-square/ GROW:STRATEGIES AND POLICIES OVERVIEW transformational projects to support the overall goal of “grow.” Working in tandem with the overall strategies and policies in this table, these projects root the 20- year vision with on-the-ground improvements that will expand and optimize the use of public lands, aligning the growth of Salt Lake City’s public lands system with the growth of the City. Additional detail for implementation is provided in Chapter 8 Action Strategies. GROW: HIGH-LEVEL STRATEGIES AND POLICIES Strategy G-1 Be proactive and strategic about growth of the Public Lands System. Supporting Policy 1.1 Investment of resources into new lands, new assets and amenities is driven by policy and informed by data and public engagement. Supporting Policy 1.2 Tax increment or other dedicated funding sources for O&M are established so that additional maintenance resources keep pace with new capital asset funding and projects. Supporting Policy 1.3 Integrate growth planning for public lands with economic development initiatives and community planning and zoning. Inventory and develop long-range plans for City-owned land that is not currently in the Public Lands’ system in order to make strategic planning, zoning and land use decisions which utilize existing spaces with parks and open space characteristics. Strategy G-2 Overcome difficult obstacles to growth needs through creativity and through leveraging external assets and resources. Supporting Policy 2.1 Maximize usability of public outdoor spaces, including golf courses, right-of-way, and public/semi-public spaces (such as library grounds) outside the Public Lands inventory. Supporting Policy 2.2 Leverage innovative public-private partnerships and collaborations with developers to help address the growth needs of the Public Lands system. Supporting Policy 2.3 Position Public Lands to take advantage of private contributions, including ‘adoption’ of amenities, corporate partnerships and philanthropic giving.

DOWNTOWN COMES ALIVE OUTSIDE Transformative Project Chapter Seven: Grow 162 This transformative project aims to help meet the gap in amount of greenspace available to downtown residents and commuters. With Pioneer Park as the downtown’s only greenspace, creative ways to relook at urban space and add green amenities and recreation is needed. Working with private landowners and businesses, this transformative project calls all hands on deck when it comes to providing green space downtown as well as supporting urban trees with irrigation and care. An example of this is Fleet Block, a city- owned property, that is currently being imagined to include public greenspace to meet needs for recreation, socialization, and nature within the urban area. Planning experts have cited the city’s “Mormon Grid” and large 660’x 660’ blocks as originally having multiple uses in mind from agriculture to streets that primarily served as unpaved green space around minimal roads. Recreation and natural areas in the traditional right of way inform big ideas like “The Green Loop,” which aims to add 60 acres of park space to the urban core. Additional green space and tree canopy coverage will provide a cooling effect to counter the urban heat island warming of the primarily hardscaped city. In addition to street trees and green stormwater management, Public Lands should creatively invent ways to infuse recreation and public gathering spaces as mini-parks that take pressure off the few downtown parks. The Green Loop will be a considerable investment in the city in coordination with City Planning and Engineering Departments.

INCREASING PARK ACCESS DOWNTOWN With only one park to serve 9,685 residents and a daytime population of 41,072 people,1 Downtown is identified as a High Needs Area for additional park space. Finding underutilized spaces, such as the paved and abandoned Fleet Block, and taking advantage of SLC’s large right-of-ways can help infill with needed green space. BIKE-FRIENDLY DOWNTOWN While Downtown has bike lanes, they require a confident cyclist, comfortable navigating busy traffic. The Green Loop would create a low-stress option for all ages and abilities to bike, jog and walk to Downtown destinations. SLC’s wide streets provide opportunities to create green space downtown in key locations. 1 U.S. Census Bureau, Census 2010 Summary File 1.

Transformative Project ~~~~--~~~=-:::-~ij 1_ .-. Chapter Seven: Grow 168 In 2021, City Golf joined the Public Lands Department along with City Parks, Natural Areas and Urban Forestry. At first glance, this consolidation has received comments during the Reimagine Nature process on the value of golf lands to the green spaces and natural areas of the city. Public survey results can be broadly categorized into the following topics: • Community members who want to keep golf for golf play; • Community members who state that golf needs more investment; • Community members who would like golf courses to be more open to other recreational uses; • Community members who want golf courses to support the environment or have more natural ecosystems; and • Community members who want to replace golf with other uses. The planning team conducted extensive case studies looking at best practices that address the community’s feedback topics and these are explored in the “Welcome to the Green” transformative project. The most promising examples that align with the core value expressed by the public to protect the city’s environment include telling the story of how important existing golf lands are to biodiversity and providing ecosystem services including improving air quality. Exciting precedents and environmental certifications show how future improvements could support the environment even further. Rose Park golf course offers opportunities to enhance riparian habitat along the Jordan River.

Pros: Offers less time intensive play options for today’s lifestyle. Cons: Mid to long-term implementation and large investment. Recommended Direction: Leverage learnings from recent pandemic pivots and staff recommendations for courses that could offer more flexible play. A literature review of best practices in golf - both for cost recovery ideas and complementary uses of golf courses - revealed a continuum of options Salt Lake City Public Lands can consider to help offer golf while providing more green space to the growing population over the next 20 years. The options below could be used individually or in tandem to help provide open space more equitably, improve stewardship of the environment and enrich the city’s livability. AUDUBON SANCTUARY CERTIFICATION Description: Pursue certification or other program that rigorously captures baseline condition and provides strategic plan to make golf landscapes more ecologically diverse. Pros: Supports plants and wildlife. Cons: Investment of time and resources. Recommended Direction: Pursue pilot project and potential for implementation as part of Golf Master Plan. ADD DIFFERENT TYPES OF RECREATION PROGRAMS AND/OR AMENITIES Description: Adding different types of recreation into existing golf courses (e.g., trails, cycle paths, etc.). Pros: Maximizes space and offers use of golf courses to other constituents. Cons: Safety and liability considerations. Could also add “nuisance” complaints from area neighbors with increased public use/parking. Recommended Direction: Monitor recent perimeter trail project and identify other potential areas in future golf master plan. STORM WATER QUALITY INFRASTRUCTURE Description: Add storm water ponds or other green infrastructure features to golf courses that also act as a landscape amenity. Pros: Helps allow for more adjacent density around golf courses. Potential to treat quantity and quality of runoff and support ecosystems. Cons: Loss of some space for water quality features. Cost of implementation and ongoing maintenance. Recommended Direction: Partner with Public Utilities and Planning departments to assess feasibility in golf master plan. WATER EFFICIENT IRRIGATION UPGRADES Description: Update old irrigation infrastructure to be more water efficient and more reliable. Pros: Saves water and time for staff to focus on innovation areas. Cons: High initial cost and potential temporary closures of courses for construction. Recommended Direction: High priority to fund and implement as this investment would benefit golf operations and create opportunities for additional native plantings. ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS Description: Keep golf courses as essential open spaces that provide environmental benefits rather than transferring them to other land uses such as affordable housing developments. Pros: Retains permeable, planted landscapes that absorb stormwater and reduce urban heat island effects. Cons: Other solutions for affordable housing must be explored. Recommended Direction: Protect golf and open space from development to retain environmental benefits to the city, and conserve space for wildlife and plants. Maximize the opportunity for golf to provide ecological services. FLEX OPERATIONS ADD RECREATION ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP TRANSFORMATION LAND USE Chapter Seven: Grow 172 REIMAGINING GOLF FOR PUBLIC LANDS Public Lands is anticipating undertaking a comprehensive Golf Master Plan to strategically plan for operations and future improvements. During the Reimagine Nature planning process, the planning team took the first steps toward this process by assessing the Golf Division’s staffing, funding, and operations and maintenance to identify challenges and opportunities. Resulting major topics to be addressed in a future Golf Master Plan include assessing funding mechanisms and strategies, possibilities for concessions and clubhouse improvements; and improvements to deteriorating irrigation systems. IRRIGATION AND RESOURCE SAVINGS Maintaining the current irrigation systems at the golf courses is one of the most maintenance intensive and expensive tasks. Maintaining faulty irrigation systems consumes a majority of staff’s time and resources. Additionally, inefficient irrigation systems can contribute to higher water bills, which currently make up 81% of Golf’s annual utility budget. It is uncertain how much a new irrigation system would reduce utility costs, but using the City of Spokane as an example, they estimate that their new irrigation system reduced water use by one-third. Assuming SLC Golf could see a comparable reduction in both staff time dedicated to repairs, we can assume an overall potential saving of almost $500,000 annually. It is recommended that SLC Golf develop a prioritized irrigation repair and replacement plan. While it is not expected that irrigation systems can be replaced fully in all golf courses, additional methods are being implemented to reduce water costs such as replacing turf grass with low-water species in strategic areas. Prioritizing such investments will help address the cost of water, support ongoing conservation of water, and align with the City’s Water Conservation Plan by reducing water leaks and water use. ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS Golf courses are predominately greenspaces of grasses, shrubs and trees that provide environmental services to Salt Lake City such as cleaning and managing storm water runoff, reducing urban heat island effect, and providing habitat for pollinator species. Innovations in contemporary course management can leverage all these services to provide more environmental benefits to the surrounding city. FUNDING STRATEGIES During the Reimagine Nature engagement, one main point of community feedback expressed that City golf courses are valued assets that need increased investment and upkeep. Similarly to municipal courses in other cities, 1/3 of which operate with a deficit,1 SLC Golf has not been able to generate enough revenue to meet annual operating costs and maintain a reserve for capital repairs and upgrades, resulting in a backlog of deferred repairs and increased maintenance costs. Golf is an Enterprise Fund while the other divisions within the Department receive their funding from the General Fund. As an Enterprise Fund, Golf does not receive any supplemental funding as do other departments funded by the General Fund and is required to cover its annual operating costs and capital repairs with revenue from golf activities. Despite being a city municipal service, Golf is does not generally receive City support, either direct or shared services, from other City departments and divisions such as: • Funding for engineering services (“discounted services”); • Cost of vehicle replacement or new equipment programs; • Urban Forestry with tree care services; 1 https://www.thengfq.com/2019/06/better‐understanding‐municipal‐golf/ • and Equipment from other divisions within Public Lands. The ability to use and share other division resources (and at the same rates as other City divisions) and expertise within the department would lower some operating costs and help Golf fund capital improvements to keep up with maintenance needs. SLC Golf should explore additional revenue opportunities to generate funds for capital improvements such as special packages, branded merchandise, sponsorships and tournaments, and winter-uses such as groomed cross-country skiing. Improving Golf clubhouses and associated amenities to act as community centers and event space would both generate funds and better serve the community. Partnerships options with local restauranteurs or other third-party concessionaires could be one way to fund added amenities such as a restaurant or meeting space. CASE STUDIES: FUNDING STRATEGIES SPOKANE, WASHINGTON: CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECT The City of Spokane conducted a survey in 2017 that sampled 1,200 golfers. The results showed 40- 68% of golfers felt the city should invest in capital improvements and repairs to remain competitive. Spokane Parks and Recreation borrowed $7.5 million from the city to pay for the capital projects and implemented a Facility Improvement Fee at all golf courses to repay the $7.5 million loan for capital investments that was secured in 2018. The collected fees are deposited into a dedicated fund used to pay back the loan. BOISE, IDAHO: GENERAL FUND MODEL The Boise Golf Division, while part of the Parks and Recreation Department, is funded entirely by the General Fund, unlike Salt Lake City and Spokane. For every tax dollar collected, the Parks and Recreation Department receives 12-15%, making Parks the third highest funded department, after only Police and Fire. FORT COLLINS COLORADO: ENTERPRISE FUND MODEL WITH SHARED CITY SERVICES Similar to Salt Lake City, the Golf Division at Fort Collins is an Enterprise Fund. However, it is important to note that while the budget identifies the Golf Division’s expenditures as its own line item (Enterprise Fund), there are other “hidden” costs that Golf shares with other city departments throughout the budget (General Fund). Golf shares many resources with the City and is included in a number of City-wide programs that are funded by the General Fund such as Community Services Administration and Technology Support, the Park-Ranger program, the Horticulture Crew and Fleet fuel and equipment.

CHAPTER FROM IMAGINATION TO REALIZATION Reimagine Nature is a culmination of the collective imagination of the community. Their efforts have laid out bold, innovative ideas that will truly transform Public Lands into working natural assets that provide environmental and social benefits. The community envisions a Public Lands system that is climate resilient, provides habitat, promotes healthy lifestyles and increases equitable access to nature in the city. Realizing these goals will take concentrated effort by Public Lands Staff, and collaborative support and contribution from City departments and the community. This chapter serves as a playbook, outlining steps and actions to achieve plan goals and re-emphasize nature as a centerpiece of Salt Lake City.

Throughout the listening to over 12,000 stakeholders, the planning team has captured not only the community’s vision for the future but implementation steps. The next step in the process is to create a Public Lands 5-Year Strategic Plan, which will be updated annually by staff. Initial implementation steps have been woven into each of the goal chapters (Sustain, Connect, Welcome, Protect and Grow) as high-level strategies and policies to guide the Public Lands Department over the next decade. Working in tandem with the overall strategies and policies, the plan also lays out ten community- supported transformational projects to root the 20-year vision with on-the-ground improvements.

Now more than ever we rely on them for personal health, community identity and civic ideals. It is time for us to plan a bright future by reimagining these spaces together. 5 PROJECT TIMELINE Salt Lake City is developing a new Public Lands Master Plan. As an important first step, the City called on all community members to help reimagine the future of our Public Lands: the nature in our city that enhances the quality of our lives. The Public Lands Master Plan will establish an inspirational framework to guide how we grow and prioritize investments for the next 10-20 years within the three public lands divisions (Parks, Trails & Natural Lands, and Urban Forestry). In acknowledgment of the findings from the 2019 Salt Lake City Parks and Public Lands Needs Assessment that included a statistically valid community survey, this effort will address current challenges to improve our public lands system. The engagement metrics for the year- long process are to connect with 10,000 people that are representative of the city’s demographic makeup. Given the goals of this master plan, it has been given the name, “Reimagine Nature.” Reimagine Nature will use comprehensive, evidence-based analysis, coupled with community engagement, to prioritize and identify transformative projects for Salt Lake City’s public lands. Community engagement for this process is open during three engagement windows: 1-Discover: Foundation of Understanding 2-Reimagine: Visioning Transformational Projects and Priority Actions 3-Transform: Draft and Final Master Plan. This report provides a summary of the first engagement window and how results will inform window 2. Figure 1: On the ground stencils to promote website and survey. WINTER 2020/2021 PHASE I: DISCOVER: FOUNDATION OF UNDERSTANDING SLC PUBLIC LANDS August 26, 2020 Six-Week Community Engagement Window #1 Opens WINTER-SPRING 2021 PHASE II: REIMAGINE: VISIONING TRANSFORMATION Quarter 1-2, 2021: Community Engagement Window #2 SPRING-SUMMER 2021 PHASE III: TRANSFORM: DRAFT AND FINAL MASTER PLAN Quarters 2-3 2021 Final Community Engagement Window #3 6 HOW WE LISTENED • On-line surveys widely advertised; • Pop-up events and intercept interviews; • Organizational partnerships to reach underrepresented groups; and • Digital outreach, which included over 40 social media posts, a paid Facebook ad targeting West Side residents, and an email opt-in form. Figure 2: University of Utah Urban Planning Students Conducting Intercept Interviews The planning team used a multi-pronged approach to engagement that included: 7 ENGAGEMENT METHODS In order to create a unifying vision for Public Lands over the next 10-20 years, the planning team used a multi-pronged approach that included on-line surveys, pop- up events and tactical partnerships to reach typically underrepresented groups. The first window of community engagement launched on August 26, 2020 with an on-line, six-week survey and closed in December 2020 with community stakeholder focus groups. The goal of this window was to create a foundation for understanding, share preliminary ideas for feedback and gather new ideas from the public. Using COVID-19 protocols, the city’s framework for equitable engagement best practices and multiple types of tactics, over 7,000 Salt Lake City community members participated in providing input during ice cream and food truck pop-up events, University of Utah student-led intercept interviews, trailside snack activities and virtual connections by website, email and phone. SURVEY FORMAT An on-line survey translated in English and Spanish consisted of nine content questions and six demographic questions. Much of the survey included multiple choice questions for respondent efficiency and also included a number of open ended question prompts for collection of perceptions and ideas. 3,735 responded to the on-line survey, and 91% of the questions were answered. Intercept interviews were conducted at 44 different locations including local parks, trailheads and businesses. This survey included a few similar multiple choice questions, but had more open ended questions to encourage a dialog and prompt new ideas. OUTREACH AND EDUCATION A graphic snapshot handout, digital graphic and poster were provided to inform of the current state of public lands with data on key trends around stewardship, equity and livability. This section of the report summarizes who we heard from, what areas of Salt Lake City responses came from and other demographic indicators.

More than 70 miles of off-street trails connect residents to parks and natural lands. The urban forest’s street trees are one of the most accessible forms of nature, extending into every neighborhood and business district in the city, resulting in a literal canopy of shade, beauty, socioeconomic, environment and health benefits. Most residents live within a half mile or 10-minute walk to a local park, and that’s important to 97% of people polled. 75% of residents who live on the east side visit parks at least once a month, while 60% of west- siders visit parks once a month. Established in 1881 to be SLC’s “Central Park,” historic Liberty Park is the most visited park in the system. Our natural lands, urban forest and city parks help shape and define our city. Salt Lake City Public Lands is creating a master plan with an ambitious, community-driven vision for the evolution of our public spaces over the next 20 years. Based on the 2019 Needs Assessment, the plan will identify specific, meaningful projects and initiatives that align with Public Lands values of STEWARDSHIP, LIVABILITY AND EQUITY. As appreciation for these places has increased since COVID-19, now more than ever, public lands contribute to our personal health, community identity and civic ideals. It is time for us to plan for a bright future by reimagining these spaces together. For more information visit:REIMAGINENATURESLC.COM By 2050 our temps could rise10° leading to poorer air quality. “There is a real opportunity - to address parks and natural lands as essential elements for better air quality, climate change mitigation, energy efficiency, and environmental justice. Parks can help improve the health of the city.” 2019 SLC Parks and Public Lands Needs Assessment EQUITY livability STEWARDSHIP $85,000 per year to clean up nuisance graffiti. are anticipated to move to SLC by 2040 which will require an additional park space roughly equivalent to Liberty Park. SLC IS HOME TO OVER 196,000 people who speak 80 languagesrepresenting a broad range of socioeconomic backgrounds and cultural heritages. 45% of metro area renters are cost burdened. The master plan includes community engagement windows. The 2019 Needs Assessment will help identify priority areas.Accessibility gaps and trail gaps still exist in all SLC planning areas, and east-west connections across the city are limited. Salt Lake City’s proposed trails, including expansion of the 9-line Trail, will add another 129.4 miles to the system, the equivalent of adding another Jordan River Parkway (the longest paved urban trail in the US). SLC public lands have opportunity to increase biodiversityby adding more natural habitat like recent efforts at Fairmont Park Pond and the Fife Wetland Preserve. 86% snapshot What Values Guide the Plan?Three values guide how we can Reimagine Nature together to increase biodiversity (the richness of different kinds of plants and animals in our public lands) while finding new ways to connect people to green spaces. Equity, or including diverse voices in the master plan process and priorities, aligns as a citywide value emerging from the roundtable discussion on “Geographic Equity, Inclusion, & Belonging.” We are committed to listening to the realities and perceptions of access to public lands from all sides of Salt Lake City to help guide next steps for a more equitable future. Livability, or maintaining SLC’s quality of outdoor life, inspires us to provide more services to residents as the city grows. How can we collectively identify outside-the-box opportunities to use our city’s parks, golf courses, school yards, natural areas and streetscapes to increase public access to nature, trails, sports fields, and public gathering places? Stewardship, or taking care of what we have, is investing in the renewal of our existing city parks, urban forest, natural areas and trails. Stewardship inspires us to preserve habitat so plants and wildlife can thrive and be resilient to impacts of climate change like rising temperatures. Potential actions could be planting 300 new trees in city golf courses or adding butterfly gardens to city parks. Income barriers can limit the amount of leisure time and transportation options people have to enjoy public lands. of SLC population is made up of diverse people who identify themselves as Native Americans, African Americans, Hispanic, Latino, Asian or Pacific Islander. 3 200 community groups have been invited to participate in this process. 30,000+ of public lands assets are in fair to poor condition. of SLC residents who responded to the 2017 Needs Assessment prioritize investments to improve existing parks, trails and natural areas. 35% Nearly 17% of the population is projected to be 65 or older by 2045. City Golf courses maintain over 1,000 acres of open space. As the city grows, how can golf grow as a community partner, serving more of the city population? Over the last 20 years SLC’s urban forests have been in decline. 63% Our 86,500 trees, including 7,000 trees in city golf courses, provide a cooling of summer temps by 6° SLC urban forest hosts 260 species of trees that support biodiversity and improve air quality. 94 ACRES >50% of all global species are at risk of extinction leading to rapid biodiversity loss. Activating underutilized spaces with activities such as outdoor education, guided nature walks, wildflowers and birding would increase park service as the city grows.

The on-line public survey reached 3,735 people while the student intercept interview survey reached 635 people at 44 different locations. The on-line survey reached the most people living in the Capitol Hill, Avenues and East Liberty Park neighborhoods, followed by the Sugar House, Northwest, Eastern Central City, and East Bench neighborhoods. The intercept interviews gathered feedback from different geographic areas than the on-line survey, gathering the most feedback from Sugar House, followed by the West Salt Lake/ Glendale neighborhoods and the Central City neighborhood. The surveys captured input from different demographics. To track if the representation of responses equitably reflected the Salt Lake City community, the planning team compared the on-line public survey demographics to that of Salt Lake City. While the on-line survey did reach a variety of people, respondents were 80% white, a number greater than the City’s demographic composition which is only 73.1% white. To help boost input from people of color, University of Utah students conducted intercept interviews throughout Salt Lake City and Public Lands staff lead focus groups with stakeholder organizations who provide services to underrepresented populations. The intercept interviews were successful at reaching a diverse audience that is more representative of the community’s population. Figure 7 shows the percentage of respondents by race/ethnicity for each survey. Intercept interviews also reached more female respondents, younger respondents, and more lower income representation than the on-line survey. 12 REPRESENTATIVE PARTICIPATION SURVEY DEMOGRAPHICS ASIAN AMERICAN INDIAN BLACK / AFRICAN AMERICAN HISPANIC / LATINO NATIVE HAWAIIAN / PACIFIC ISLANDER WHITE OTHER PREFER NOT TO SAY 3.7% 1.3% 5.5% 14.9% 2.9% 1.5% 5.4% 0.3% 1.4% 0.5% 2.3% 4.0% 21.6% 0.3% 1.5% 65.4% 2.9% 2.4% 80.0% 73.1% 1.2% 3.4% 4.0% INTERCEPT SURVEY SALT LAKE CITY DEMOGRAPHICS PUBLIC SURVEY Figure 7: To track if the representation of responses equitably reflected the Salt Lake City community, the planning team compared the public survey demographics to that of Salt Lake City.

STEWARDSHIP IDEAS “I would volunteer to clean up parks, paint bathrooms, help with trash and waste disposal I would also donate money to groups that contribute to stewardship of the parks.” “To clean up our air we should invest in advertising and incentives to get people to bike to work or use public transportation.” “Work with school districts on biodiversity education and curriculum including hands on projects to give our youngest citizenry a sense of ownership.” “Encourage non-motorized visitation. Supply and timely service waste receptacles. Landscape with broad ecological goals, e.g. not just trees but flower and open areas that support birds and bees.” “More recycling options.” “Enlist public help by holding trail days and events to help maintain public amenities.” “Host educational events to build land ethics.” Source: 2020 Community Survey (on-line / 3735 total respondents) - I I -1~ I I -• - - I I I 19 DAILY PRACTICES CHOICES STEWARDSHIP % SELECTED Support active modes of transportation to reduce carbon footprint (e.g., walking, biking) 71% Expand collaborations with non-profits, schools, community centers, and others to enhance education and stewardship opportunities. 67% Host educational events to build land ethics. 44% Work with City departments to improve capacity and resources to respond to oil spills, wildfire and other environmental emergencies. 42% Support “Friends of the Parks” groups. 40% Create a Biodiversity Advisory Committee composed of public members, technical experts, and staff to guide biodiversity conservation efforts. 40% Develop ranger/ambassador programs 37% Other Ideas to Encourage Daily Practices 4% Funding choices also supported the environment with respondents choosing options to increase habitat blocks and corridors and support riparian health. 54% of respondents chose to fund trail maintenance, supporting the choice action of maintaining trails. Half of respondents also support improving donation processes for public lands. The top selected daily practice for stewardship was to support active modes of transportation. This was the most selected answer among all stewardship options, with 71% support. This confirms support for the trail system as well as methods for reducing carbon footprints. Expanding collaborations with schools and organizations to provide stewardship opportunities, as well as hosting education events to build land ethics were the next top-selected daily practices at 67% and 44%. This indicates a desire for programming as well as volunteer opportunities and community-led efforts. FUNDING CHOICES STEWARDSHIP % SELECTED Acquire additional natural areas to increase size of existing habitat blocks or connect wildlife corridors 65% Acquire lands adjacent to water course to support riparian health and reduce flooding risks 55% Invest in increased maintenance for trails and trail corridors 54% Invest in increased maintenance for priority parks and natural areas 53% Improve the City’s donation process and actively solicit private donations to support stewardship. 50% Add more staff to care for trees 33% Hire a Stewardship Coordinator. 29% Other Ideas for Funding.7% Source: 2020 Community Survey (on-line / 3735 total respondents) Source: 2020 Community Survey (on-line / 3735 total respondents) 20 Q - What do you think would most benefit the livability of Salt Lake City and encourage you to get outside more often? (Pick your top 2) TOP LIVABILITY ACTIONS A thriving urban forest, improving networks for active transportation and investing in neighborhood public lands were seen as the top actions that would improve livability in SLC. • Grow our urban forests • Improve the sidewalk and trail network in order to travel by bike and foot to public lands and everyday destinations like work and school • Invest in neighborhood public lands and amenities that encourage everyday use Source: 2020 Community Survey (on-line / 3735 total respondents)46% 44% 42% 21 Respondents were asked to select their top two choices for the question, “Which of the following system-wide approaches do you think would most benefit the livability (or quality of life) of Salt Lake City and encourage you to get outside more often?” The top selections for livability mirrored themes from the top selections for stewardship. These choices also supported environmental health, trails and active transportation, and investing in places close to home. Twice as many people felt investing in neighborhood parks that encourage everyday use was important for livability than the regional public lands that are destinations. Growing the urban forest to provide shade, clean water and air was the top selection at 46%. This was followed by improving the sidewalk and trail network, selected by 44% of respondents, and investing in neighborhood public lands and amenities, at 42%. Livability choices for improving biodiversity, investing in regional destinations and finding unique urban spaces to utilize for nature and recreation were only selected by under 20% of respondents. This result conflicts with the previous survey results as these options would support the other top choices. This may point to a disconnect between perceptions of how livability is achieved. Figure 9: Student intercept survey taken at the Bonneville Shoreline Trail. LIVABILITY CHOICES % SELECTED Grow our urban forests to help provide shade, clean water and air for our city and neighborhoods. 46% Improve the sidewalk and trail network in order to travel by bike and foot to public lands and everyday destinations like work and school. 44% Invest in neighborhood public lands and amenities that encourage everyday use. 42% Focus on improving environmental health and biodiversity (the richness of different kinds of plants and animals in our public lands). 19% Invest in regional public lands and amenities that create unique destinations. 18% Find outside-the-box opportunities to use our city’s parks, golf courses, school yards, natural areas and streetscapes to increase public access to nature, trails,sports fields, and public gathering places. 16% Other ideas to benefit livability. 4% Source: 2020 Community Survey (on-line / 3735 total respondents) 22 “People are desperate to reconnect with nature, so a focus on encouraging wildlife (especially natives) should be extremely important to SLC.” “Substantially improve tree cover in neighborhoods, parks and natural areas by 50% to compensate for human impacts.” “Add neighborhood opportunities to spend time in water. Salt Lake City is getting hotter summers and one of the key missing public land opportunities for residents is access to water for recreational opportunities.”“More trails closer to home so I and my neighbors don’t have to drive to other places (Millcreek, Draper, Herriman, etc.) for trail running and riding opportunities.” “More bike paths.” “work with schools and young people to come up with ideas about livability and climate change.” “Expand community gardens.” LIVABILITY IDEAS Additional ideas/themes from respondents for the livability of public lands included....

The University of Utah students highlighted the following takeaways from these conversations: • Invest In Neighborhood Parks • Cultivate Cultural Representation • Assess West Side vs. East Side Quality • Connect Green Spaces And Support Active Transportation • Promote The Ranger Program Figure 10: Murals in Salt Lake City. 24 “Sidewalks that are truly accessible for all people.” “Provide access to trails via walking, biking and public transportation. increase public transportation services while decreasing the amount of parking lots and spaces that could instead be used as green spaces/urban gardens.” “Rethink and restructure our natural areas to include the contributions, land acknowledgments, and better systems of care of the land by indigenous people.” “Reach out and listen. Specific place-based responses for acts of restoration, maintenance, and development.” “Recruit stewards, rangers/ ambassadors, and volunteers from minority communities near the public lands.” EQUITY IDEAS Additional ideas/themes from respondents to increase equity related to public lands included....

(Write in response) 25 “Have signs displayed in 2-3 languages.” “Move beyond ADA baseline requirements & really focus on accessibility like Liberty Park Rotary playground.” “Add more parks and trees to areas west of I-15 and connect those to the parks in the eastern side of SLC through footpaths and bike paths. Hire more BIPOC to work for the public lands system at all levels. Partner with schools and communities of color to encourage use of parks and trails in our public lands. Reduce the amount of land dedicated to golf courses.” “Increased accessibility for all members of society, along with native fauna that calls the space home. So more bike paths, ramps for wheelchairs, inclusive non-gendered bathrooms. For the wild life, creating more pockets of space not meant for human traffic or usage, and planting more native plants essential to their natural habitats.” “A fully integrated trail system through the city so that folks can access trails regardless of where they are.” “Adjust plans to the diverse needs of the neighborhoods. The people near the foothills might desire a different approach than people living in the west side of the city. I think all areas would like great parks, natural open space and better connectivity.” EQUITY IDEAS Additional ideas/themes from respondents to increase equity related to public lands included....

Reimagining neighborhood and urban greenspaces were next on the list of priorities. Q - Please select any of the potential big ideas listed below that excite you or share your own idea. (Select all that apply) OTHER 6% BIG IDEAS Source: 2020 Community Survey (on-line / 3735 total respondents) An initial list of projects were suggested in this question to encourage big thinking. Many of the projects like the Emerald Ribbon Jordan River Parkway and Pioneer Park changes, were older ideas already underway but require a great deal more investment and partnerships to see them completed. Others on the list were ideas that have been shared in the past or city staff have identified as a gap in current approaches, such as an equity mapping tool and neighborhood park design. However, encouraging participants to suggest their own ideas was emphasized. This question received 216 write-in responses and additional open ended questions solicited responses important to this question. The projects that received the highest level of support were those that covered the largest geographic area: the Emerald Ribbon along the Jordan River Parkway, Trails from the Mountains to the Lake and Reimagining Neighborhood Parks. Pioneer Park and a Ranger Ambassador Program may have received the least amount of support because of their limited area of impact. BIG IDEAS % SELECTED Build Salt Lake’s Emerald Ribbon: Turn the Jordan River Parkway into the City’s most active recreation destination space, by investing in tree canopy, grounds maintenance, a recreational paddle trail, and park development, renewal and expansion from the former Seven Peaks Waterpark at the southern boundary to the Regional Athletic Complex on the north end. 58% Trails from the Mountains to the Lake: Extend the City’s growing multi-use and natural surface trail network to connect regional recreation destinations, extending west to the Great Salt Lake Marina and east to the Wasatch Crest Trail with the 9Line/ Transvalley Corridor as the backbone. 54% BIG IDEAS % SELECTED Reimagine Salt Lake City’s mini and neighborhood parks: Small parks evolve to reflect neighborhood identity, provide quality amenities and experiences that reflect unique community desires, and provide better options for recreation, respite and community gathering in neighborhood parks. 49% Reimagine how our citywide Urban Green Spaces can accommodate more public access, provide diverse recreation opportunities, grow food, provide nature. 43% Create a citywide Equity Mapping Tool that identifies areas of the city that do not have as much access to urban forests, natural areas and city parks. Use this tool to help prioritize areas for investment in public lands. 41% Transform Pioneer Park into the city’s most dynamic, programmed, and desirable public space, transforming it into both a neighborhood destination, and a regional amenity for events and gatherings. 23% 30 “I’d love to see public green space more integrated with shopping, restaurants, and housing. It would be really cool to have restaurants overlooking the parks.” “create a diverse array of models for opportunities for residents and visitors to engage in agricultural practices, from the established traditional “one plot per person/ household community garden” to more community cooperative models.” “Create biodiversity hotspots in our parks. Improve native planting. Do more nature programming with signage.” “We need a park at the Fleet Block. We do not have enough parks downtown and this neighborhood is rapidly densifying.” Additional ideas/themes from respondents for big ideas included... “Focus on”creating spaces” in our city parks. Develop community gathering spaces such as cafes, wine bars, places to host events. Example is the Sizzler pad in sugarhouse park. This could be turned into a park cafe with large outdoor grassy eating space.” ADDITIONAL BIG IDEAS BIG IDEAS % SELECTED Implement a citywide Ranger-Ambassador program in the City’s parks, natural areas and open spaces that focuses equally on resource protection and enriching the experience for public land visitors. 23% Other ideas for transformational projects 6% Source: 2020 Community Survey (on-line / 3735 total respondents) 31 “Include in small community natural spaces support and resources for certain citizen science, conservation, or other projects, like a monarch patch, wildlife monitoring, or community food bank garden. Make it accessible to all.” Additional ideas/themes from respondents for big ideas included... “Increase the urban fishery options in Salt Lake City.” “More natural wildlife areas without paved trails. A NY Central Park size park on the West side of the valley.” “Uncover and restore the buried and impaired creeks in the Salt Lake Valley.” “Outdoor classroom and park access for every SLC SD school. All students should be able to access nature as part of their school day. SLC should hire a person to lead this charge and work directly with SLCSD.“ “Add new areas for growing sports such as disc golf. These have grown as a side effect of COVID and are seeing a lot more use.” “Build a Climbing Park.” ADDITIONAL BIG IDEAS Source: 2020 Community Survey (on-line / 3735 total respondents) 32 INTERCEPT INTERVIEW SURVEY Intercept Survey respondents were interviewed at 44 different locations and were asked eight free response questions, seven multiple choice questions, and seven demographic questions. Common themes emerged from the free response questions which are summed up below. Question: “Thinking long-term over the next 10-20 years, what stewardship actions do you think would be most impactful to public lands that include city parks, urban forests, natural areas and trails?” Themes in the responses included renovating restrooms, trail maintenance, supporting active transportation, planting trees, adding waste bins, planting native, water-wise and pollinator gardens, providing volunteer opportunities, providing cultural and educational events, promoting safety through a ranger ambassador program, acquiring additional natural lands, and supporting friends of the parks groups. Question: “Are there ways you can imagine yourself contributing to the stewardship of public lands?” The most common responses included providing volunteer opportunities such as trash clean-up days, tree planting days, and community trail maintenance. Youth groups were mentioned as organizations that would especially benefit from service-oriented activities. Some respondents were also willing to donate money to fund Public Lands or get involved by participating in public meetings related to Public Land’s issues. Question: “Do you avoid, not enjoy, or feel uncomfortable in any city parks?” Themes in the responses indicated that people often do not feel safe in some parks due to homeless encampments, drug use, and a lack of lighting. Question: “When you imagine our public lands 10-20 years from now, what changes can we make to our public lands system to help serve and include all people more equably?” Responses included themes such as having better ADA access, improving the quality of park on the west side, services for the homeless population, and improved access to parks such as free public transportation. Question: “Which 3 words sum up what you think should be big 10-year goals of Salt Lake City Public Lands?” Common words used included safety, sustainable, verde, variety, trees, accessible, conservation, equity, community, clean, fun, protect, renovate, events, open, connected, inclusive, growth, education, Question: “What would make this place (park, trail, natural areas, golf course) better?” Themes in the responses included adding amenities such as lights, water fountains, restrooms, trails in the parks, trees, art, flowers, dog-friendly facilities, trash cans, signage in multiple languages, access to water and food trucks. Question: “What else should be considered in developing the Public Lands Master Plan for natural areas, urban forests and parks?” Common responses included a mixture of responses from previous questions including recommending new amenities, one-word statements such as “equity” and “cleanliness” and recommending new activities, events and volunteer opportunities. 33 LIVABILITY CHOICES % SELECTED Invest in neighborhood public lands and amenities that encourage everyday use. 63% Improve the sidewalk and trail network for travel by bike and foot 54% Focus on improving environmental health and biodiversity (the richness of different kinds of plants and animals in our public lands). 42% Invest in regional public lands and amenities that create unique destinations. 35%TRANSPORTATION TO PUBLIC LANDS CHOICES % SELECTED Car/Carpool 64% Walk 22% Bike/Skateboard/Scooter 9% Other 2% BARRIERS TO PUBLIC LANDS CHOICES % SELECTED N/A 45% Places are too crowded 25% Safety or security concerns 22% Not accessible to those with disabilities, health or mobility challenges. 5% PUBLIC LANDS IMPORTANCE CHOICES % SELECTED Extremely Important 85% Somewhat Important 12% Indifferent 2% Unimportant .03% Responses to multiple choice questions in the Intercept Interview reflected that public lands are extremely important to the community. Almost half of respondents did not perceive that there were barriers preventing them from accessing public lands. One interesting observation is that 64% of respondents traveled to the park or trailhead location by car, however over half of the respondents thought that improving the sidewalk and trail network for travel by bike and foot would improve the livability of Salt Lake City.

As an important first step, the City called on all community members to help reimagine the future of our Public Lands: the nature in our city that enhances the quality of our lives. 5 PROJECT TIMELINEThe Public Lands Master Plan will establish an inspirational framework to guide how we grow and prioritize investments for the next 10-20 years within the three public lands divisions (Parks, Trails & Natural Lands, and Urban Forestry). In acknowledgment of the findings from the 2019 Salt Lake City Parks and Public Lands Needs Assessment that included a statistically valid community survey, this effort will address current challenges to improve our public lands system. The engagement metrics for the year- long process are to connect with 10,000 people that are representative of the city’s demographic makeup. Given the goals of this master plan, it has been given the name, “Reimagine Nature.” Reimagine Nature will use comprehensive, evidence-based analysis, coupled with community engagement, to prioritize and identify transformative projects for Salt Lake City’s public lands. Community engagement for this process consists of three engagement windows: 1-Discover: Foundation of Understanding 2-Reimagine: Visioning Transformational Projects and Priority Actions 3-Transform: Draft and Final Master Plan. Engagement window one was conducted from August through December of 2020. Results from this first round of engagement identified concepts and ideas that most resonated with the community to support Public Lands’ values of promoting equity, livability and sustainability. Engagement window one also gathered community ideas for Master Plan goals and projects and measured community support for initial transformative projects identified from previous community feedback and research gathered in the 2019 Public Lands Needs Assessment. The Master Plan framework, including refined goals and transformative projects, was developed from feedback received in engagement window one. REPORT FOCUS This engagement period, engagement window two, was held from March through May of 2021. Engagement window two gathered feedback on the Master Plan framework to verify that the plan was developing in the right direction and had community support. Engagement Window two served as a check point to identify any important information that may be missing from the Master Plan. This report summarizes the second engagement window and how results will inform the master plan and engagement window three. WINTER 2020/2021 PHASE I: DISCOVER: FOUNDATION OF UNDERSTANDING SLC PUBLIC LANDS August 26, 2020 Six-Week Community Engagement Window #1 Opens WINTER-SPRING 2021 PHASE II: REIMAGINE: VISIONING TRANSFORMATION March 17 - May 7 2021: Community Engagement Window #2 SUMMER-FALL 2021 PHASE III: TRANSFORM: DRAFT AND FINAL MASTER PLAN Quarter 3 2021 Final Community Engagement Window #3 6 HOW WE LISTENED • On-line survey widely advertised; • Student-led micro-engagement events; • Facebook Live events in English and Spanish • Organizational partnerships to reach underrepresented groups; and • Digital outreach, including 230 social media posts, a paid Facebook ad targeting West Side residents, and 3 newsletters. Figure 2: University of Utah Urban Planning Students conducting intercept interviews to increase online survey participation. The planning team used a multi-pronged approach to engagement that included: 7 ENGAGEMENT METHODS In order to create a unifying vision for Public Lands over the next 10-20 years, the planning team used a multi-pronged approach that included an on-line survey, focus groups, micro-engagement events and community partnerships to reach typically underrepresented groups. The second window of community engagement launched on April 1, 2021 with an on-line, six-week survey and closed on May 10, 2021. The goal of this window was to get feedback on the initial Master Plan framework, including the Plan vision statement, goals, and potential transformative projects. Using COVID-19 protocols, the city’s framework for equitable engagement best practices and multiple types of tactics, over 12,000 Salt Lake City community members participated in providing input during online focus groups, University of Utah student-led intercept interviews and micro-engagement events, and through the online survey. SURVEY FORMAT An on-line survey offered in both English and Spanish consisted of 15 content questions and six demographic questions. Much of the survey included multiple choice questions for respondent efficiency and also included two open ended question prompts for collection of perceptions and ideas. 3,318 people responded to the on-line survey, and 65% of the questions were answered. Students from the University of Utah City and Metropolitan Planning Department passed out postcards and invited people to take the survey at 38 different locations including parks, libraries, open spaces and trails. OUTREACH AND EDUCATION Signs with a link to the online survey and Reimagine Nature website were posted at parks, natural lands and trails throughout the city. Other print materials advertising the project were distributed city-wide including, 1,380 postcards, 230 Reimagine posters, 115 social media posts and 500 door hangars. Other innovative advertising methods, such as temporary sidewalk art painted onto the pavement were fun ways to spread the word about ongoing Reimagine activities. The following pages summarize who we heard from, what areas of Salt Lake City responses came from and the demographics of engagement participants. ENGAGEMENT METHODOLOGY AND OUTREACH APPROACH Figure 3: Yard signs (above) were placed throughout Salt Lake City Parks, Trails and Natural Lands to advertise the online survey.

STUDENT ENGAGEMENT Students from the University of Utah Urban and Metropolitan Planning Department were instrumental in promoting awareness of Reimagine Nature. Along with Public Land’s Staff, students distributed 1,380 postcards, 230 Reimagine posters, 230 Earth Day event posters, 920 Earth Day Event flyers, and 500 door hangers to advertise the project and survey including reaching out 94 businesses in the process. In addition, the students held micro-engagement events including four placemaking events and an Earth Day event. SOCIAL MEDIA OUTREACH Students also made posts on social media to promote the online survey through social media engagement. Facebook was the primary social media platform used for outreach. Overall, social media efforts reached many people with over 84 posts, 226 likes, 20 comments, and 18 shares throughout the social media platform. STUDENT MICRO-ENGAGEMENT EVENTS Multiple micro-engagement events invited the community to come out and communicate through fun and thoughtful activities. Placemaking workshops visualized the wants of the community through the aid of simple physical models. Wayfinding and Paint the pavement workshops gathered community members to gain input on mural painting and wayfinding methods. A tree planting and pollinator workshops discussed species to be planted, planting locations and possible “friends of popular grove park” establishment. The findings of the workshop helped narrowed down the approaches and possibilities for interventions. As well as maximized the opportunities for feedback and community engagement. 9 STUDENT ENGAGEMENT ACTIVITIES PAINT THE PAVEMENT Community members discussed access and wayfinding, and directed the creation of a pavement mural. TREE & POLLINATOR PLANTING Workshop participants discussed suitable park plants and identified locations for planting and park elements such as a Reimagined park with flower beds by the tennis court, flowering trees for shade near the playground and a cared for horseshoe activity area. PLACE IT WORKSHOP In this virtual engagement event, urban planner James Rojas asked participants to build their favorite childhood memory using nearby objects and build their vision of park using the same objects.

As only approximately 63% of survey respondents answered the question asking what their zip code is, it is difficult to accurately assess which neighborhoods survey participants are from. However, the overall survey distribution by zip code of survey number two closely mirrors the distribution of survey number one. The map on page 11 shows which neighborhoods were reached by zip code. The East Liberty Park, Capitol Hill and Avenues neighborhoods had the highest number of recorded survey respondents, followed by the East Bench, Sugarhouse and Central City neighborhoods. Downtown, East Central, West Salt Lake, North West Salt Lake, and Liberty Wells were in the middle range of number of survey respondents, and the Ballpark neighborhood as well as west and southern portions of the Central Community planning area had the lowest number of survey respondents. DIVERSITY OF SURVEY PARTICIPANTS During engagement window one, students from the University of Utah played a key role in reaching a diverse survey audience that is more representative of the community’s population. They increased diverse participation by visiting sites throughout Salt Lake City where they shared information about the project and invited people to take the online survey. Students also participated in Public Lands staff-lead focus groups with stakeholder organizations who provide services to underrepresented populations. During the second engagement window, the students promoted the online survey rather than a separate intercept survey, so the dataset was not split up in a way to compare the demographics of student-promoted survey participants. However, in comparing the public online surveys from the first and second windows of engagement, survey number two shows an increase in participant diversity. The participation among nearly all minority groups doubled from survey number one to survey number two, indicating that the student-led activities were likely a big contributing factor to increasing the diversity of survey and engagement participation. 14 REPRESENTATIVE PARTICIPATION SURVEY DEMOGRAPHICS ASIAN AMERICAN INDIAN BLACK / AFRICAN AMERICAN HISPANIC / LATINO NATIVE HAWAIIAN / PACIFIC ISLANDER WHITE OTHER PREFER NOT TO SAY 5.4% 1.4% 2.3% 21.6% 1.5% 73.1% 3.4% 1.5% 0.3% 0.5% 4.0% 0.3% 80.0% 1.2% 4.0% PUBLIC SURVEY 1 SALT LAKE CITY DEMOGRAPHICS 2.2% 1.3% 1.4% 8.2% 0.5% 76.3%76.3% 2.4% 7.7% PUBLIC SURVEY 2 Figure 14: The online survey conducted during engagement window two was more successful at reaching a diverse audience that is more representative of the community’s population. This is an improvement from the previous online survey conducted during engagement window one. The chart above compares the diversity of survey participants for both online surveys. To help boost input from people of color, University of Utah students conducted micro-engagement events and outreach throughout Salt Lake City and Public Lands staff led focus groups with stakeholder organizations who provide services to underrepresented populations. FINDINGS Targeted engagement improved the diversity of survey respondents, with minority participation in survey two increasing an average of 232% from that of survey one. t t I ! t t i t t J l ff 15 WHAT WE HEARD The focus of engagement window two was to gather feedback and input on the Master Plan framework, including refined goals and initial transformative projects ideas. It also served as a check point with the community and stakeholders to verify that the Master Plan was developing in the right direction, had community support, and provided an opportunity to contribute any important ideas that may be missing from the Master Plan. The following pages cover the responses received from the community through the online survey, focus groups and micro-engagement events that comprised engagement window number two. 16 VISION STATEMENT REIMAGINE NATURE PLAN VISION STATEMENT: Reimagine Nature provides transformative ideas that have the ability to heighten our Public Lands’ impact on the city’s livability, equity, and stewardship over the next 20 years. Our natural lands, urban forest, city parks and city golf courses are cared for to be resilient for increasing environmental challenges, and also innovatively adapted to meet the diverse needs of our growing population. We aspire to create and sustain quality outdoor spaces that are inclusive, accessible, and culturally relevant; ensuring everyone benefits from fair and appropriate investment.

Each question was prefaced with a project description and potential project strategies that could contribute to the overarching transformative project. The chart on page x compares the percent of respondents that indicated they were somewhat or extremely satisfied with the transformative projects. The projects that received the most selections for respondents being extremely satisfied were grow our urban forest at 71% and put environment first at 70%. These were followed by connect mountains to the lake at 65%, meet me at the river at 62% and downtown comes alive outside at 61%. These responses indicate strong support for environmental enhancements of Salt Lake City’s public lands, a desire for increased system connectivity and access to trail- based recreation, and the need to activate downtown with more green spaces. While the projects just five minutes from here and telling our stories only had 38% and 47% of respondents indicting they were extremely satisfied, the majority of respondents were still either somewhat satisfied or extremely satisfied, with 77% indicating some level of satisfaction for both projects. This demonstrates that there is overall community support for the ten transformative projects, with between 77% and 92% of respondents indicating some level of satisfaction for the projects and only 10% or less of respondents indicating some level of dissatisfaction. The following pages show these descriptions and respondent satisfaction levels for each project.

These questions were designed to gain insight into community priorities for each project, highlighting which projects should happen right away and which projects should be prioritized because they are the most impactful and provide value. When comparing urgency versus importance, two projects stood out significantly as being both the most urgent and most important. Put environment first was ranked the highest by survey respondents in both categories, with 73% ranking it as very important 72% ranking it as very urgent. The next highest-ranking project was grow our urban forest, with 71% ranking it as very important and 68% ranking it as very urgent. This again reinforces the community’s desire for using sustainable principles in managing Public Lands and improving the local environment with natural amenities. These projects also were viewed as significant and held high support with focus group participants. Overall, the question responses show that all projects are valued by the community. When combining the selections for medium urgency and very urgent, the 10 transformative projects were selected by between 56% and 94% of respondents as being urgent. The combined selections for project importance show that the 10 transformative projects were selected by between 70% and 95% of respondents as important. TOP CHOICES FOR OVERALL IMPORTANCE: 1.

This has raised the importance of reaching underrepresented communities during the engagement process. To understand more about how individual communities can be best served by Public Lands, survey responses were sorted by neighborhood to target responses from areas that have higher concentrations of underrepresented populations including minority populations, older and younger populations, and lower income populations. Survey responses from the Northwest, West Salt Lake and the northern and western portions of the Central Community are displayed below. Like the overall survey results, survey respondents from these neighborhoods consistently chose “put environment first” and “grow our urban forest” as both the most urgent and most important of the ten transformative projects. The Central Community respondents rated these with the highest percentages of very important, with 81% for “grow our urban forest” and 78% for “put environment first.” This is compared to 73% and 71 % respectively in the overall survey. The next highest rankings for project urgency and importance corresponded geographically with the location of the neighborhoods, with the Northwest and West communities selecting “reimagine neighborhood parks,” “meet me at the river,” and “connect mountains to the lake” and the Central community selecting “downtown comes alive outside,” “reimagine neighborhood parks” and “connect mountains to the lake.” This shows a support for investments that will directly enhance natural amenities close to home, such as the Jordan River Parkway and Downtown parks while also increasing park, open space and trail connectivity city-wide.

The first question “What changes would you suggest, if any, to the Vision or Goals?” received roughly 120 responses that expressed positive support for the vision and goals statements. 238 comments suggested changes to the vision and goal statement language. 107 comments suggested additions to the vision or goal statements. The remainder of comments were an assortment of specific strategies suggested to support the goals, the most common ones listed here in order of occurrences: • Environmental/natural resources/habitat; • Golf courses; • Park feature requests; • Trails; and • Unhoused populations management. The second open ended question was more general, asking if there is anything else to consider or include in the Master Plan. Roughly 100 comments expressed appreciation for the plan or had no additional considerations. Some themes within the comments included critique for the project public engagement process, details for the Transformational Projects, priorities to emphasize or desire for more clarity about funding/timelines. The remainder of comments covered a wide variety of topics, the most common ones listed here in order of occurrences: • Park feature requests (such as dog parks/off-leash, restrooms, water recreation features, signage, concessions, ADA accessibility and more); • Trails; • Golf courses; • Management/maintenance/safety; • Environmental interests (water conservation, air quality, energy conservation, native plants/invasive species, climate change resilience, light pollution, wildlife habitat, pesticides and more); • Trees; • Unhoused populations; • Desire for additional parks and open space conservation; • Connecting to green spaces through trails and public transportation; • Education and programs; and • Urban farming, gardens, and edible forests. 35 “I think the vision statement should include explicit language on climate change.” “I’m concerned about allowing people and off leash dogs on golf courses.

BOX 145476, SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH 84114-5476 SLCCOUNCIL.COM TEL 801-535-7600 FAX 801-535-7651 COUNCIL STAFF REPORT CITY COUNCIL of SALT LAKE CITY TO:City Council Members FROM:Brian Fullmer Policy Analyst DATE:April 19, 2022 RE: Stealth Wireless Facilities Zoning Text Amendment PLNPCM2020-00284 PUBLIC HEARING UPDATE Three people spoke at the April 5, 2022 public hearing, one supportive of and two opposed to the proposed text amendment. Legal counsel for the applicant expressed support for the proposal noting cell towers are limited to 35 feet in the public lands zone except if they are disguised as church steeples or installed at sports fields, and property owners allow the installation. She stated denial of the request will prohibit installation of wireless facilities needed near the Pioneer Precinct. The commenter referenced a letter sent to Council Members the day of the public hearing (see attached). One person who spoke against the proposal stated the City has leverage in this instance and should require negotiations with wireless providers. It was also stated wireless facilities should not be allowed at schools. The other commenter stated stealth towers up to 75 feet is too tall for the public lands zone. The Council closed the public hearing and deferred action to a future meeting. A motion sheet with options for the Council to consider is included. The following information was provided for the April 5, 2022 public hearing. It is provided again for background purposes. Item Schedule: Briefing: March 22, 2022 Set Date: March 22, 2022 Public Hearing: April 5, 2022 Potential Action: April 19, 2022 Page | 2 BRIEFING UPDATE At the March 22 briefing a Council Member asked if the Planning Division’s main concern with the proposal is lack of clarity and if they envision a path to the point where this would be acceptable, with clarification or an improved proposal. Planning staff stated telecommunication towers are allowed throughout the city in one form or another. Their recommendation of denial is because the proposal is for one tower in one location. Consideration of allowing stealth towers in the Public Lands zone citywide should be a more comprehensive evaluation of cellular regulations to determine if they currently meet the needs of the City and providers. That is Planning’s preferred approach rather than an individual site approach as is the approach of the current petition. When asked if the Planning Division has the bandwidth for a more comprehensive evaluation, the response was they do not currently. However, Planning also stated there are a variety of avenues for cell towers to be erected citywide in nearly every zoning district. Cell towers in neighborhoods are some of the most controversial land use items the Planning Division sees. They feel a policy change is not warranted without a broader discussion. Another Council Member question was why the proposal is to allow stealth towers in the PL district, and whether it is more common to locate the towers at schools rather than commercial districts, and what is the process? Planning staff responded saying the specific request is to place a stealth tower at the Pioneer Police Precinct which is in the PL zone. The property owner where a cell tower is proposed needs to agree with placing a tower on their property. The City would need to agree with installing a tower at the Pioneer Precinct, and the school district would decide whether to allow cell tower placement at schools. A Council Member expressed dislike for stealth towers and would prefer traditional towers that are not taller or more prolific than they already are. The applicant addressed the Council and stated cellular coverage in the Pioneer Precinct area is poor and they have heard from constituents and area workers who are supportive of the proposal in order to improve cell service. Options other than stealth towers, such as equipment mounted on light towers were considered, but the City reportedly wasn’t interested in those. The applicant stated there are several pine trees in the area from 23 feet to 61 feet tall. They felt a “monopine” stealth tower is the best option for the area based on surrounding vegetation. It was stated the tower needs to be taller than the natural and built environment to get the desired coverage. Other options would not provide this coverage. The applicant stated City code is somewhat silent on stealth towers other than allowing placement in most zoning districts. They were unaware of height limits. Based on discussions with Planning staff the applicant believes conditional use is the best option because community groups could have a say in the process which wouldn’t be the case if the towers were a permitted use. The PL zone was chosen by the applicant because prior to widespread small cell infrastructure installation, schools, churches, and parks are the only places in residential areas where cell towers can be located. The following information was provided for the March 22, briefing. It is provided again for background purposes. Page | 3 The Council will be briefed about a request from Cellco Partnership (dba Verizon Wireless) to amend the Salt Lake City zoning ordinance to allow stealth cellular towers up to 75 feet tall as a conditional use in the Public Lands (PL) zoning district citywide. Stealth towers are currently limited to 35 feet in height and are allowed in all zoning districts provided they are “completely disguised as another object concealed from view thereby concealing the intended use and appearance of the facility” (Chapter 21A.40.090.E Salt Lake City Code). To qualify as a stealth facility, a tower needs to meet the following requirements: 1. “Conform with the dimensions of the object it is being disguised as,” 2. “Be in concert with its surroundings,” and 3. Meet “the provisions contained in section 21A.36.020, [including] tables 21A.36.020.B and 21A.36.020.C.” Chapter 21A.36.020.C regulates lot and bulk controls requiring lots and structures meet “the lot area, lot width, yards, building height and other requirements established in the applicable district regulations.” Exceptions are allowed for height, and certain obstructions in a required yard. Height exceptions for church steeples, elevator/stairwell bulkheads, flagpoles, and light poles for sports fields are allowed. Wireless facilities disguised as trees, or another object not listed in the height exception table are not permitted obstructions beyond the maximum height of a zoning district. The request is associated with the applicant’s proposal to construct a stealth cell tower at the Pioneer Police Precinct located at 1040 West 700 South, but the requested text amendment would apply to all properties within the PL zoning designation citywide. The applicant first proposed constructing an 80-foot stealth wireless facility disguised as an evergreen tree (known as a “monopine”) at the Pioneer Police Precinct. Planning staff told the applicant non-government structures in the PL zone were limited to 35 feet and the request for an 80-foot tower would be denied. The proposal was then modified to allow stealth cell towers up to 60 feet tall in all zoning districts within the city. After reviewing the Planning staff report and receiving community feedback, the applicant asked for additional time to review their proposal, as well as Planning staff and community concerns. The current proposal is to allow stealth wireless facilities up to 75 feet in the PL zoning district. PL properties are located throughout the city and are often located near smaller-scale neighborhoods consisting of single- and two-family, or small commercial districts such as Neighborhood Commercial shown in the image below. Uses in the PL zone are typically government owned or operated facilities including schools, libraries, and fire stations. These zoning districts generally limit building height to 30 feet or less. Page | 4 Image courtesy Salt Lake City Planning Division Planning staff provided the following image comparing the proposed 75-foot height of stealth towers in the PL zoning district to building heights in a variety of adjacent zoning districts. Page | 5 Image courtesy Salt Lake City Planning Division The Planning Commission reviewed this proposal at its December 8, 2021 meeting and held a public hearing. There was one comment at the hearing expressing concern about potential radiation near schools, and stated the proposed tower was not in concert with the area. Planning staff noted there were letters to the Commission from the East Liberty Park Community Organization and Yalecrest Community Council (both opposed). The Commission voted 5-0 to forward a negative recommendation to the City Council. One Commissioner abstained but did not say why. Goal of the briefing: Review the proposed master plan and zoning map amendments, determine if the Council supports moving forward with the proposal. POLICY QUESTIONS 1. The Council may wish to discuss more how a tower is determined to be “in concert with the surroundings.” 2. The Council may wish to ask the Administration whether there would be requirements such as setbacks or step backs to mitigate impact to adjacent properties. 3. The Council may wish to consider whether there is interest in limiting stealth towers in small neighborhood pocket-parks, and if so, ask whether there could be some minimal parcel size associated with applications. 4. Is the Council supportive of the proposed zoning map amendment? ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Planning staff provided the following comparison of existing and proposed stealth wireless facility standards. EXISTING REGULATIONS PROPOSED CHANGES Definition of “Stealth Antenna”: An antenna completely disguised as another object, or otherwise concealed from view, thereby concealing the intended use and appearance of the facility. Examples of stealth facilities include, but are not limited to, flagpoles, light pole standards, or No change Page | 6 architectural elements such as dormers, steeples, and chimneys. Criteria for determining if an antenna is “stealth”: The antenna must conform to the dimensions of the object it is being disguised as. The location of the stealth facility must be in concert with its surroundings No change The height of stealth antennas is limited to the maximum building height of the underlying zoning district unless they are disguised as the following: Chimney-can extend above the maximum height limit of the zone only the amount that is required to meet building regulations. Church steeples or spires - no height limit Elevator/stairway tower or bulkhead - can extend up to 16 feet above the maximum height limit in the commercial, manufacturing, downtown, FB-UN2, RO, R-MU, RMF-45, RMF- 75, RP, BP, I, UI A, PL, and PL-2 districts. Flagpole - may apply for conditional use approval to exceed the maximum building height of the zone. Light poles for sports fields - allowed up to 90 feet or higher with special exception approval. Stealth antennas in the PL Public Lands Zoning District taller than 35 feet (up to 75 feet in height) would require Conditional Use approval from the Planning Commission. All other stealth towers that meet the existing dimension regulations would still be allowed by-right. Stealth Antennas are allowed in all zoning districts, subject to the dimensions mentioned above. Conditional Use approval would be required for stealth antennas taller than 35 feet (up to 75 feet in height) in the PL Public Lands District. Planning staff identified six key considerations related to the proposal which are found on pages 5-7 of the Planning Commission staff report. They are summarized below. For the complete analysis, please see the staff report. Consideration 1-Rationale for Denial Recommendation The following issues regarding the proposed ordinance were found by Planning staff: 1. Standards would not result in predictable outcomes. The regulations would allow any type of stealth facility, not only “monopines.” An applicant could request a stealth facility out of character with the surrounding area such as an elevator bulkhead (see consideration 2 below). 2. The PL District is generally located within neighborhoods with shorter maximum heights. Towers as tall as 75 feet could be out of scale with the neighborhoods. 3. Requiring conditional use approval for these towers would require additional Planning staff and Planning Commission time and resources. Utah State Code makes denying conditional use applications challenging. 4. Proposed language is difficult to interpret (see consideration 6 below). Planning staff noted the following: The ordinance already allows stealth cellular facilities in many other contexts in every zoning district, and State Code requires the city to approve small cell facilities in the public right of way. The proposed text amendment is a response to the denial of the proposed facility at the Pioneer Police Precinct. It does not include a thorough analysis of community needs, potential adverse impacts, or unintended consequences. Page | 7 Consideration 2-Compatibility with Current City Plans, Policies, and Zoning Standards Current City Code allows stealth wireless facilities taller than the maximum height in a zoning district if they are disguised as a structure or object already allowed to do so (e.g., church steeple, chimney, elevator or stairway or bulkhead). Planning staff found reliance on conditional use standards to mitigate potential impacts of stealth facilities in the PL Zone may not offer protections to residents from adverse effects of future stealth towers. They further found the proposal does not further objectives within the City’s adopted plans and policies. Planning staff noted three factors to evaluate when analyzing stealth wireless facilities’ compatibility with current City plans, policies, and zoning standards. 1. Neighborhood Character – most neighborhood plans focus on neighborhood character and impact of future development. Stealth towers can be a desirable alternative to traditional wireless antennas within established neighborhoods. Limiting stealth towers to the PL zoning district may be a method of installing necessary wireless infrastructure consistent with neighborhood plans. However, the proposal relies on conditional use standards when considering neighborhood character. 2. Views of Landscapes and Distinctive Urban Features – Plan Salt Lake, the Central City and East Bench neighborhood plans, along with the Capitol Hill Protective Area Overlay all discuss preservation of viewsheds within the city. Impact to viewsheds should be considered when new wireless facilities are being established. Under the proposed amendment, it is unclear to what extent the requirement to “be in concert with its surroundings” would enable prevention of a stealth tower installation within an established view corridor. 3. Equitable Access to Cellular Services – Plan Salt Lake discusses the necessity of cell service access. The Planning Commission staff report states: If a cell provider is unable to get coverage in a low-income neighborhood because current regulations prevent it, does the City have a responsibility to provide opportunities to expand that coverage into marginalized communities? This is an important question when reviewing zoning regulations for privately provided infrastructure. Planning staff notes the applicant’s maps (found on pages 63-65 of the Planning Commission staff report) demonstrates a need for improved cell service near the proposed tower at the Pioneer Police Precinct. However, Planning found the applicant did not indicate how allowing towers up to the proposed height will improve equitable cellular access in other parts of the city. The Planning Commission staff report stated: Because the applicant has not provided an analysis to support this request, staff cannot determine if the proposed amendment is compatible with the adopted plans and policies of the City. The above discussion and the analysis in Attachment D [pages 36-41] show that the applicant has not provided enough information to determine the long-term impacts of their proposal. Consideration 3–Best Practices for Zoning Ordinance Revisions It is Planning staff’s opinion best practices for zoning ordinance revisions include a holistic approach and response to community needs and concerns. They found the proposed text amendment is responding to standards preventing one project at one location. An analysis of long-term effects of the proposal was not provided by the applicant. Planning stated: With this piecemeal approach that lacks at least a surface-level analysis of impacts, Staff cannot provide any information on any potential long-term effects this proposal may have on stealth facilities within the City. Attempting to circumvent existing regulations by modifying them without appropriate analysis of impacts is not the best practice for revising a zoning ordinance. Page | 8 Consideration 4 – Conditional Uses Utah State Code requires conditional use approval if reasonable conditions mitigate anticipated detrimental impacts. Planning staff noted under the proposed text amendment, each case would need to be presented to the Planning Commission and would utilize additional Planning staff and Planning Commission resources. They also discussed the potential of establishing false community expectations a stealth antenna application could be denied based on neighborhood input. Consideration 5 – Federal Regulations Regarding Wireless Communication Facilities Federal rules limit the City’s ability to regulate wireless facilities to only location, aesthetics, and structural safety. Decisions cannot be made based on health concerns or environmental effects of radio frequency emissions. Consideration 6 – Clarity of Proposed Amendment Language Planning staff noted existing language in City Code is vague and there have been issues interpreting it. They believe the proposed language would be more challenging to interpret without additional clarification. ZONING STANDARDS ANALYSIS Attachment D (pages 36-41) of the Planning Commission staff report outlines zoning map amendment standards that should be considered as the Council reviews this proposal. The standards and findings are summarized below. Please see the Planning Commission staff report for additional information. Factor Finding Whether a proposed text amendment is consistent with the purposes, goals, objectives, and policies of the city as stated through its various adopted planning documents. Mixed finding. The proposed amendment is either partially, or not consistent with the goals and policies of applicable master plans. Whether a proposed map amendment furthers the specific purpose statements of the zoning ordinance. Mixed finding. The proposal either furthers or partially furthers the applicable purpose statements of the zoning ordinance. Whether a proposed text amendment is consistent with the purposes and provisions of any applicable overlay zoning districts which may impose additional standards. The proposed amendment is consistent with the purposes and provisions of all relevant overlay districts. Page | 9 The extent to which a proposed text amendment implements the best current, professional practices of urban planning and design. The proposed amendment does not implement the best current urban planning and design practices. CITY DEPARTMENT REVIEW Attachment G (page 136 of the Planning Commission staff report) contains a list of City departments that reviewed the proposed text amendment and associated comments, which are included below. Engineering: “My understanding is that the proposed stealth towers are not small cell wireless facilities and would only occur on private property.” The Attorney’s Office “does not recommend considering changes to the height of stealth antenna section of City Code without a more comprehensive look at all of the Chapter 21A zoning sections.” Zoning: “Current code allows for flag poles to reach 60’ in height with a conditional use. Church steeples/spires have no height limit. Light poles for sports fields can reach 90’ by right and taller with a Special Exception. Any stealth antenna facility disguised as one of those three could exceed the height limit of the underlying zoning district. The assertation that the code as currently written does not allow for stealth poles to exceed the maximum height of the underlying zoning district is inaccurate. The proposed text amendment would allow all stealth facilities (not just the monopines) to exceed the height limit of the underlying zoning district. If the intent is to allow just monopines to be 60’, then the text amendments concerning height should be specifically for monopines rather than all stealth facilities.” Urban Forestry: “Salt Lake City does have trees that are greater than 60’ tall, and some even pushing 100’. However, the average tree height in our City is probably closer to 30’ than 60’. Perhaps even more concerning (to me) is where these towers will be located. If the intention is to place them within City R.O.W. (on City park strips) then we have the added issue of the towers taking away valuable tree planting space. It would be worse still if somehow it was permissible to actually remove (or drastically prune) existing city trees to accommodate these towers. But please note that (in the interest of maximizing the potential of Salt Lake City to grow trees, on its public property) the Urban Forestry Division is very opposed to the loss of existing tree ‘planting locations’ just as we are opposed to the loss of existing trees.” Other responding City departments (Transportation, Public Utilities, Building Services/Building Services (Fire)) had no concerns with the proposal.

The Stealth Wireless Facilities Amendment proposes to modify the Salt Lake City Zoning Ordinance to allow Stealth Wireless Telecommunication Facilities taller than 35 feet (up to 75 feet) in height within the Public Lands (PL) Zoning District. Without a text amendment or approval of an application for the specific facility, Verizon Wireless will be effectively prohibited from providing wireless services under the Federal Telecommunications Act. 47 U.S.C. § 332(c)(7)(B)(i)(II) to its customers and your constituents. In particular, it will materially inhibit Verizon Wireless from providing services to the Pioneer Police Precinct for emergency services and, in an area, which needs improved services for equitable wireless access. This letter outlines how the current Zoning Ordinance prohibits almost any wireless facilities in PL zoning districts, Verizon Wireless’s responses to the City Planning staff’s bases for a negative recommendation for the proposed amendment, and Verizon Wireless’s lack of alternatives to deploy facilities in areas with significant demand for wireless services. A. Current Zoning Ordinance Currently, no freestanding wireless facilities are permitted in PL Zoning Districts except for stealth antennas. But stealth antennas are limited to the maximum building height of the PL zoning district which is 35 feet except for a few limited types – church steeples/spires and light poles at sports fields. The following outlines the relevant code provisions to demonstrate the 35- foot height limitation for stealth antennas with almost no exceptions. Sherman&.¾ioward Mayor Erin Mendenhall Salt Lake City - City Council April 5, 2022 Page 2 54683149.1 • Sec. 21A.32.075(D)(1)-(2): PL-2 Public Lands District o (1) Local government facilities, government offices, arenas, stadiums, and exhibition halls: Seventy-five feet (75') provided, that where adjacent to a zoning district allowing greater height, the height standard of the adjacent district shall apply. A modification to the maximum building height provisions of this section may be granted only through the design review process, subject to conformance with the standards and procedures of chapter 21A.59 of this title, and subject to compliance with the applicable master plan. o (2) Other uses: Thirty-five feet (35'). • Table Sec. 21A.40.090E – Wireless Telecommunications Facilities o PL and PL-2: Under this table, the only Wireless Telecommunication Facilities permitted are wall mount or roof mount facilities. Freestanding wireless facilities are not permitted. • Sec. 21A.40.090E.2.f – Stealth Antennas o (1) A telecommunication antenna completely disguised as another object or otherwise concealed from view thereby concealing the intended use and appearance of the facility, shall be allowed in all zoning districts subject to meeting the provisions contained in section 21A.36.020, tables 21A.36.020B and 21A.36.020C of this title. The antenna shall conform to the dimensions of the object it is being disguised as and the location of the stealth facility shall be in concert with its surrounding. Examples of stealth facilities include, but are not limited to, flagpoles, light pole standards or architectural elements such as dormers, steeples, and chimneys. Final determination regarding stealth poles shall be made by the Planning Director based on these standards. The electrical equipment shall be located in accordance with subsection E3 of this section. • Sec. 21A.36.020 and Table 21A.36.020C – Height Exceptions. The extent above maximum building height allowed by the district for the stealth antennas identified above are: Type of Stealth Antenna Extent above Maximum Building Height Allowed by the District Is Verizon Wireless 60’ Stealth Antenna Allowed in PL Zone? Chimney As required by local, State, or Federal regulation. Not allowed. Under the City’s Zoning Ordinance, the Mayor Erin Mendenhall Salt Lake City - City Council April 5, 2022 Page 3 54683149.1 maximum height in the PL zone is 35 feet. Church Steeples or spires No Limit Only allowed if there is a church in the PL zone that will allow for a wireless provider to build a steeple or spire. Elevator/stairway tower or bulkhead 16 feet Not allowed. Maximum height in PL zone is 36 feet. An additional 16 feet only allows for maximum height of 51 feet. Flagpole Maximum height of the zoning district in which the flagpole is located or 60 feet, whichever is less. Conditional use approval is required for additional height. Not allowed. Verizon Wireless no longer uses flagpole designs due to the amount of equipment needed on a macro facility. Further, a conditional use approval is required for additional height of 60 feet as the maximum height of the PL Zone is 35 feet. Light poles for sport fields such as ballparks, stadiums, soccer fields, golf driving ranges, and similar uses1 Maximum height of the zoning district or 90 feet whichever is greater. Special exception approval is required for any further additional height or if the lights are located closer than 30 feet from adjacent residential structures Only allowed if there are light poles for sport fields in the PL Zone and the City allows a wireless provider to use the light poles to attach antennas. Under the current Zoning Ordinance, there is no mechanism that allows a wireless provider to seek an exception to the 35-foot height limit for a wireless facility in the PL and PL-2 zone unless there is a 1) a church for a church steeple / spire or 2) light poles for sports fields. Mayor Erin Mendenhall Salt Lake City - City Council April 5, 2022 Page 4 54683149.1 B. Verizon Wireless’s Proposed Stealth Tower Amendment The purpose for the requested amendment is to allow for wireless providers to deploy any type of stealth facilities within the PL zoning districts in Salt Lake City with a maximum height of 75 feet. As outlined above, the present Zoning Ordinance substantially limits the ability of wireless service providers to deploy necessary stealth facilities in areas where service is most critical for its customers and your constituents – residential zones and zones surrounding residential areas such as the PL zone and provide equitable wireless access. To limit the height of wireless facilities to the maximum height of the zoning district with almost no mechanism for a height exception under Section 21A.36.020.C effectively prohibits wireless providers from deploying service. 47 U.S.C. § 332(c)(7)(B)(i)(II) (the City may not regulate the construction of wireless facilities in such a way as to “prohibit or have the effect of prohibiting the provision of personal wireless services.”). Verizon Wireless limited the proposed text amendment to only the PL zoning district to narrow the scope of the amendment and because certain types of other facilities were permitted up to 75 feet in the PL zoning district.1 • Height Requirements for Macro Facilities While this request specifically relates a proposal by Verizon Wireless to construct a stealth cellular tower at the Pioneer Police Precinct at 1040 West 700 South, it is because there is no other way to deploy a facility at this location higher than 35 without the proposed text amendment. To provide wireless services and meet the demands of the residents and emergency service providers in this area, Verizon Wireless needs to deploy a 60-foot macro facility. A 35-foot macro facility or 45-foot small wireless facility will not provide sufficient wireless services in this area. If facilities are deployed at a lower height, then more poles are needed to provide the same services compared to poles that are deployed at a higher height. This, in turn, will result in the proliferation of more facilities. The lower the pole, the more poles are needed. The higher the pole, the less poles are needed. This also will apply to other macro facilities wireless providers try to deploy in other PL zoning districts near residential areas where its customers and your constituents need wireless services. Wireless providers will encounter these same issues throughout Salt Lake City. The proposed text amendment ensures there is an option for deployment of stealth facilities in PL zones at the height necessary to provide wireless services and reduce the visual impact by deploying fewer poles at the optimal height. Also, at 60 feet, it allows for more than one carrier on the facility, which will help reduce the number of poles and visual impact. 1 In Verizon Wireless’s initial text amendment submitted on April 4, 2020, Verizon Wireless drafted the text amendment to allow for stealth wireless facilities in any zoning district. After meeting with City Planning staff, they said that was too broad and recommended narrowing it to the PL zoning district. Further, City Planning staff also advised that government facilities were allowed up to 75 feet in the PL zoning district. Because Verizon Wireless was going on the Pioneer Precinct, this may be considered a government facility. Then, Verizon Wireless was advised that the wireless facility was not considered a government facility because it was not owned by the City. However, since the PL Zoning District allows for other facilities up to 75 feet, this was not out of character with other facilities that may be in the surrounding area. Mayor Erin Mendenhall Salt Lake City - City Council April 5, 2022 Page 5 54683149.1 • Allowance for Any Type of Stealth Antennas in PL Zones While certain stealth antennas may be permitted above the 35-foot height limit in the PL zone, as detailed above, it may not be the case that wireless providers can attach to existing properties or infrastructure or deploy a stealth facility that is permitted. In this specific case, there are no churches in the PL Zone and it cannot erect a church steeple or spire on the police precinct as that does not conform to existing surroundings, there are no light poles at sports field that Verizon Wireless can attach to (in this case, the City will not agree to allow Verizon Wireless to use the light poles at the sports park), and Verizon Wireless no longer uses the flagpole design because it cannot accommodate the amount of equipment Verizon Wireless needs to deploy for a macro facility. It is likely that these same issues will arise in other PL zoning districts. It is not a guarantee there is a church in all PL zones or that the church will allow for a wireless facility on it. And, even if there are light poles at sports fields, the City has not demonstrated a willingness to allow wireless provides on those light poles. Thus, wireless providers need to have other alternatives for types of stealth facilities it can deploy. • Other facilities are permitted at 75 feet in PL Zones Verizon Wireless proposes to increase the height limit for stealth antennas to 75 feet in PL zoning districts because, currently, other facilities are permitted up to 75 feet in PL zoning districts. This includes government facilities, government offices, arenas, stadiums, and exhibition halls. Thus, a proposal for stealth wireless facilities at 75 feet that will be designed to blend into the surrounding areas is not out of character with what the Zoning Ordinance currently permits. • Conditional Use Requirement Verizon Wireless proposes a conditional use requirement for two reasons: 1) in its initial submission in April 2020, it proposed a permitted use for stealth antennas in the PL zoning district and the City Planning staff gave the proposal a negative recommendation, and 2) the Zoning Ordinance currently requires a conditional use for flagpoles. The conditional use requirement allows for public input in the process whereas a permitted use process would not. C. Verizon Wireless’s Responses to City Planning Staff’s Bases for Negative Recommendation of Stealth Wireless Facility Amendment Since August 2020, Verizon Wireless has attempted to work with the City’s Planning Staff to try and draft a proposed text amendment that would address the City’s concerns while allowing for wireless providers to deploy their facilities. See Timeline of Verizon Wireless’s Submissions attached as Exhibit A. Indeed, this is the second proposed text amendment Verizon Wireless has submitted based upon feedback and guidance from the Planning Staff. Despite submitting a revised text amendment based on the City Planning staff’s recommendations, the Planning Staff continues to give a negative recommendation. The City Planning staff has provided several bases for its negative recommendation, many of which were its own suggestions. Mayor Erin Mendenhall Salt Lake City - City Council April 5, 2022 Page 6 54683149.1 • Consideration 1 – Rationale for Denial Recommendation o Standards would not result in predictable outcomes. The regulations would allow any type of stealth facility, not only “monopines.” An applicant could request a stealth facility out of character with the surrounding area such as an elevator bulkhead (see consideration 2 below). VZW’s Response: The standards will not result in unpredictable outcomes. Under Section 21A.40.090E.2.f – Stealth Antennas, a stealth antenna must be in concert with its surroundings. If the City Council prefers, it can require stealth antennas to go through a design review process or it could ask the City Planning staff to draft more specific design standards for stealth antennas. It also could consider limiting it only to monopines and lowering the height to 60 feet. o The PL District is generally located within neighborhoods with shorter maximum heights. Towers as tall as 75 feet could be out of scale with the neighborhoods. VZW’s Response: As stated above, the PL zoning district allows for a maximum height of 75 feet for certain facilities – government facilities, stadiums, arenas, etc. Thus, a stealth antenna that is required to be in concert with its surroundings will not be out of scale, especially if there are other 75-foot facilities already permitted. What is the difference of allowing a government facility at 75 feet that is located within neighborhoods with shorter maximum heights compared to a wireless facility? City Council also could consider lowering the height to 60 feet if that is more in scale with neighborhoods. o Requiring conditional use approval for these towers would require additional Planning staff and Planning Commission time and resources. Utah State Code makes denying conditional use applications challenging. VZW’s Response: Verizon Wireless included the conditional use standards for the reasons outlined above. If the City Council prefers, it can change this to allow for a permitted use process and include design standards for these types of facilities. Further, while Utah state code makes denying conditional use applications challenging, the conditional use must have reasonable conditions that mitigate detrimental impacts. Residents can provide input through the public hearing process on those reasonable conditions. • Consideration 2 – Compatibility with Current City Plans, Policies, and Zoning Standards Mayor Erin Mendenhall Salt Lake City - City Council April 5, 2022 Page 7 54683149.1 o Neighborhood Character – most neighborhood plans focus on neighborhood character and impact of future development. Stealth towers can be a desirable alternative to traditional wireless antennas within established neighborhoods. Limiting stealth towers to the PL zoning district may be a method of installing necessary wireless infrastructure consistent with neighborhood plans. However, the proposal relies on conditional use standards when considering neighborhood character. VZW’s Response: Verizon Wireless included the conditional use standards for the reasons outlined above. If the City Council prefers, it can change this to require a proposed stealth antenna go through the design review process to ensure the proposed facility blends in with the neighborhood character. Alternatively, if City Council prefers, it can change this to allow for stealth antennas as a permitted use and direct City Planning staff to draft more specific design standards for these types of facilities. This will relieve the burden on resources while ensuring the facilities have more specific design standards to make sure they are in concert with their surroundings. o Views of Landscapes and Distinctive Urban Features – Plan Salt Lake, the Central City and East Bench neighborhood plans, along with the Capitol Hill Protective Area Overlay all discuss preservation of viewsheds within the city. Impact to viewsheds should be considered when new wireless facilities are being established. Under the proposed amendment, it is unclear to what extent the requirement to “be in concert with its surroundings” would enable prevention of a stealth tower installation within an established view corridor. VZW’s Response: If the City Council prefers, it can change this to require a proposed stealth antenna go through the design review process to ensure the proposed facility does not block established view corridors. Alternatively, it can direct City Planning staff to draft more specific design standards for these types of facilities. This will ensure the facilities have more specific design standards to make sure they are in concert with their surroundings. o Equitable Access to Cellular Services – Plan Salt Lake discusses the necessity of cell service access. Planning staff notes the applicant’s maps (found on pages 63- 65 of the Planning Commission staff report) demonstrates a need for improved cell service near the proposed tower at the Pioneer Police Precinct. However, Planning found the applicant did not indicate how allowing towers up to the proposed height will improve equitable cellular access in other parts of the city. VZW’s Response: As stated above, most macro facilities require a height greater than 35 feet to provide the wireless services needed in areas where demand is significant for its customers and your constituents, residential areas and zoning Mayor Erin Mendenhall Salt Lake City - City Council April 5, 2022 Page 8 54683149.1 districts next to residential areas, which will improve equitable cellular access. The information requested by the City Planning regarding improvement in other areas of the City staff is confidential and proprietary information nor can Verizon Wireless provide this information for other carriers. Verizon Wireless is more than willing to meet with City Planning staff to review this information, but it cannot be disclosed in public hearings. Finally, Verizon Wireless is not required to show how the proposed height will improve equitable cellular access in other parts of the city. It should be sufficient for the City Council that it will help this one area and provide equitable access. • Consideration 3–Best Practices for Zoning Ordinance Revisions o It is Planning staff’s opinion best practices for zoning ordinance revisions include a holistic approach and response to community needs and concerns. They found the proposed text amendment is responding to standards preventing one project at one location. An analysis of long-term effects of the proposal was not provided by the applicant. The City Attorney’s office also recommended against this proposed amendment without a more comprehensive look at all of Chapter 21A zoning sections. Consideration of allowing stealth towers in the Public Lands zone citywide should be a more comprehensive evaluation of cellular regulations to determine if they currently meet the needs of the City and providers. That is Planning’s preferred approach rather than an individual site approach as is the approach of the current petition. VZW’s Response: The Planning Division advised they do not have the bandwidth for a more comprehensive evaluation of the wireless regulations in the Zoning Ordinance. Because this is a key consideration, every proposal submitted by a wireless provider to address any specific gaps, vagueness, or ambiguities in the Zoning Ordinance regarding wireless regulations will be denied unless it is a comprehensive evaluation. Further, the 2018 FCC Order mandated that state and local jurisdictions enact regulations to comply with the order. While the City passed an ordinance to address small wireless facilities in the public right-of-way, it has not amended its Zoning Ordinance to address other wireless facilities and the 2018 FCC Order or the 2014 FCC Order as well. Completing a comprehensive evaluation of wireless regulations to determine if they meet the needs of the City, its residents, and wireless providers likely will help address several issues. It could help alleviate the fact that wireless facilities are one of the most common complaints City Council, Planning Commission and Mayor Erin Mendenhall Salt Lake City - City Council April 5, 2022 Page 9 54683149.1 City Planning staff must handle. Further, there are other areas of the Zoning Ordinance that need to be addressed such as notice for work related to wireless facilities. All these issues could be resolved with a comprehensive review and update. Verizon Wireless has offered repeatedly to provide a comprehensive evaluation and prepare an updated draft wireless ordinance based upon current federal and state law and submit it to the City. However, the City has not accepted Verizon Wireless’s offer. The City Council can request the City Planning staff make this a priority and engage the help of the wireless industry. • Consideration 4 – Conditional Uses o Utah State Code requires conditional use approval if reasonable conditions mitigate anticipated detrimental impacts. Planning staff noted under the proposed text amendment, each case would need to be presented to the Planning Commission and would utilize additional Planning staff and Planning Commission resources. They also discussed the potential of establishing false community expectations a stealth antenna application could be denied based on neighborhood input. VZW’s Response: Verizon Wireless included the conditional use standards for the reasons outlined above. City Council should consider the conditional use process as it does not establish false community expectations because the conditional use must have reasonable conditions that mitigate detrimental impacts. Residents can provide input through the public hearing process on those reasonable conditions. If City Council prefers, it can change this to allow for stealth antennas as a permitted use and direct City Planning staff to draft more specific design standards for these types of facilities. This will relieve the burden on the City’s resources while ensuring facilities have more specific design standards to make sure they are in concert with their surroundings. But • Consideration 5 – Federal Regulations Regarding Wireless Communication Facilities o Federal rules limit the City’s ability to regulate wireless facilities to only location, aesthetics, and structural safety. Decisions cannot be made based on health concerns or environmental effects of radio frequency emissions. VZW Response: VZW concurs with this consideration. • Consideration 6 – Clarity of Proposed Amendment Language Mayor Erin Mendenhall Salt Lake City - City Council April 5, 2022 Page 10 54683149.1 o Planning staff noted existing language in City Code is vague and there have been issues interpreting it. They believe the proposed language would be more challenging to interpret without additional clarification. VZW Response: See VZW’s Response to Consideration 3. A complete evaluation and amendment of the entire wireless ordinance is needed to address the vagueness and ambiguities throughout the Zoning Ordinance and provide necessary clarification. City Council can direct City Planning staff to make this a priority or work with wireless providers to undertake this effort. Verizon Wireless’s Only Alternative to Proposed Stealth Wireless Facilities Amendment If this proposed text amendment is not approved, Verizon Wireless’s only alternative is to apply for the proposed 60’ monopine on Pioneer Precinct Property (SLC Police Department) located at West 700 South, Salt Lake City, 84104.2 The proposed facility will substantially improve the wireless services in this area including for its customers and your constituents as well as emergency services provided by Salt Lake City’s Police Department and other emergency departments. See Verizon Wireless Propagation Maps attached as Exhibit B. Verizon Wireless needs to deploy the facility at 60’ to effectively provide wireless services.3 But, there is no height exception under Sections 21A-40-090E.2.f, 21A-40-090E.5 and Table 21A-40-090E of the Wireless Telecommunications Facilities or Section 21A.36.020.C – Conformance with Lot and Bulk Controls (Height Exceptions) for a monopine. As stated above, Verizon Wireless cannot use a church steeple/spire, flagpole, or light pole at a sports field. Because all other 60’ facilities are prohibited in PL zones under the Code and there is no process under the existing Code that allows Verizon Wireless to seek a height exception, Verizon Wireless anticipates its application for a 60’ monopine will be denied. Without a text amendment or approval of an application for the specific facility, Verizon Wireless will be effectively prohibited from providing wireless services under the Federal Telecommunications Act. 47 U.S.C. § 332(c)(7)(B)(i)(II). We hope that the City Council will support Verizon Wireless’s proposed amendment to help with the deployment of much needed wireless services in Salt Lake City, specifically in this section of the City. Verizon Wireless representatives are happy to schedule a meeting with the City Council to discuss the proposed amendment and answer any questions you may have or provide 2 In 2021, City Council approved an ordinance that eliminated the special exception process. Without the special exception process or this proposed text amendment, there is no mechanism by which a wireless services provider can seek to increase the height of a proposed wireless facility unless it is specifically permitted by the Zoning Ordinance (e.g. church steeple/spire, flagpole, or light pole at sports field). For the PL zoning district, there is no mechanism that allows for an increase in height. 3 In addition, a 60’ facility will blend in more with the building height limit and not be as obtrusive as the 80’ facility. Additionally, the 60’ facility potentially will allow other wireless carriers to collocate on the facility. This may reduce the number of freestanding wireless facilities in the area. Further, the 60’ facility will be designed as a stealth monopine, which will blend in with existing trees on the property and surrounding areas that are 50-60’.

BOX 145486, SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH 84114-5486 TEL 801.535.6230 FAX 801.535.6005 CITY COUNCIL TRANSMITTAL ________________________ Date Received: _________________ Lisa Shaffer, Chief Administrative Officer Date sent to Council: _________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ TO: Salt Lake City Council DATE: February 1, 2022 Dan Dugan, Chair FROM: Blake Thomas, Director, Department of Community & Neighborhoods __________________________ SUBJECT: Petition PLNPCM2020-00284 - Request to Allow Stealth Wireless Telecommunication Facilities taller than 35 feet (up to 75 feet) in height within the PL – Public Lands Zoning District STAFF CONTACT: Aaron Barlow, Principal Planner 801-535-6182, aaron.barlow@slcgov.com DOCUMENT TYPE: Ordinance RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Commission has recommended that the City Council deny the request to amend the Salt Lake City Zoning Ordinance to allow Stealth Wireless Telecommunication Facilities taller than 35 feet (up to 75 feet) in height within the PL – Public Lands Zoning District. BUDGET IMPACT: None BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: Pete Simmons of Cellco Partnership (dba Verizon Wireless) submitted a request to amend the Salt Lake City Zoning Ordinance to allow Stealth cellular towers up to 75 feet in height as a Conditional Use in the PL Public Lands Zoning District. Stealth facilities are currently limited to 35 feet in height. This request is specifically related to a proposal by the applicant to construct a stealth cellular tower at the Pioneer Police Precinct at 1040 West 700 South, but the proposed text amendment would apply to properties within the PL district citywide. Under current regulations in Section 21A.40.090.E of the Zoning Ordinance, stealth wireless facilities are permitted in all zoning districts provided they are “completely disguised as another object concealed from view thereby concealing the intended use and appearance of the facility.” To qualify as a stealth facility, a tower needs to do the following: 1. “Conform with the dimensions of the object it is being disguised as,” 2. “Be in concert with its surroundings,” and Lisa Shaffer (Feb 2, 2022 14:42 MST)02/02/2022 02/02/2022 Page 2 of 3 3. Meet “the provisions contained in section 21A.36.020, [including] tables 21A.36.020.B and 21A.36.020.C.” Section 21A.36.020 of the Zoning Ordinance regulates lot and bulk controls. It requires that all lots and structures must meet “the lot area, lot width, yards, building height and other requirements established in the applicable district regulations.” Exceptions are allowed for certain obstructions in a required yard (table 21A.36.020.B) and height (table 21A.36.020.C). Allowed height exceptions include church steeples, elevator/stairwell bulkheads, flagpoles, and light poles for sports fields. Wireless facilities disguised as trees (or anything else not listed in the height exceptions table) are not a permitted obstruction beyond the maximum height of a zoning district. In response to the perceived limitations that the Zoning Ordinance placed on stealth wireless communication facilities, the applicant submitted a text amendment application to modify sections 21A.32.070 (PL Public Lands District) and 21A.40.090.E (Wireless Telecommunication Facilities) of the City’s zoning regulations to allow stand-alone stealth cell towers up to 75 feet tall as a Conditional Use in only the PL Public Lands Zoning District. At their meeting on December 8, 2021, the Planning Commission voted to send a negative recommendation to the City Council regarding this proposal because it did not meet the standards for a zoning text amendment. Specifically, they provided a negative recommendation because the proposal would also impact residential districts adjacent to properties within the PL district, and the proposal was a response to a single issue in the ordinance and did not address stealth facilities more broadly. Additional information regarding this request can be found in Staff’s report for the Commission. Draft ordinances are not provided with requests that have received a negative recommendation from the Planning Commission. PUBLIC PROCESS: Community Council Notice: A notice of application was sent to all Salt Lake City Recognized Community Organizations on October 5, 2021, regarding the proposed text amendment. The Recognized Organizations were given 45 days to respond with any concerns or to ask the applicant to discuss the proposed amendment at one of their meetings. Three Community Councils (Sugarhouse, Greater Avenues, and Yalecrest) invited the applicant and Staff to their meetings. The Sugar House and Greater Avenues Community Councils sent official responses that are included with Staff’s report to the Planning Commission. Public Open House: The petition was posted to the Planning Division’s Online Open House webpage from October 5 to December 1, 2021. Staff received 58 comments from the public, two of which were in support of the request and the rest opposed. They are included with Staff’s report to the Planning Commission. Planning Commission Meeting: On December 8, 2021, the Planning Commission held a public hearing regarding the proposed zoning text amendment. The only comment was from Judi Short, representing the Sugar House Community Council, who brought up concerns that she had received from the neighborhood. The commission voted to provide a negative recommendation to the City Council with a unanimous vote of 5-0, with one commissioner abstaining.

Notice of City Council Public Hearing NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING The Salt Lake City Council is considering Petition PLNPCM2020-00284 - Request to Allow Stealth Wireless Telecommunication Facilities in the PL – Public Lands Zoning District – Pete Simmons, representing Cellco Partnership (dba Verizon Wireless), is requesting to amend section(s) of title 21A.32.070 PL Public Lands District and 21A.40.090.E Wireless Telecommunication Facilities to increase the allowed height of stealth wireless telecommunication facilities to 75 feet in the PL Public Lands Zoning District. Specifically, this request would allow stealth wireless telecommunication facilities taller than 35 feet in the PL district as a conditional use. The PL district is located city-wide, so this request would affect all Council Districts. (Staff contact: Aaron Barlow at 801-535-6182 or aaron.barlow@slcgov.com). As part of their study, the City Council is holding an advertised public hearing to receive comments regarding the petition.

Comments not included with PC Staff Report ELPCO (East Liberty Park Community Organization) elpcoslc@gmail.com www.facebook/com/ELPCO December 7, 2021 Dear Salt Lake City Planning Commissioners: I am writing to oppose the Stealth Towers Text Amendment (PLNPCM2020-00284) on the agenda for the December 8 meeting. ELPCO is the East Liberty Park Community Organization, a recognized community organization in Salt Lake City representing the 4,000 households between Liberty Park and East High School. ELPCO has been tracking this issue since the initial proposal in 2020 (PLNPCM2020-00284) by Verizon Wireless to allow stealth towers up to 60 feet tall as conditional uses (i.e., allowable) in all zoning districts. Along with the Planning Department and several other community councils, we opposed the initial proposal in a letter dated May 19, 2021, writing, “We believe this proposal goes too far in revising the zoning code and raising height restrictions to exceed local limits. We believe height limits are one of the most important design elements of local zoning.” Now, Verizon has returned with a curtailed proposal to allow taller (75 feet) antennas in more limited areas (Public Lands-PL districts). The first thing ELPCO did was seek input from our community. The majority of responses we received have been favorable or ambivalent to the proposal. • “Let them install towers so all of us can have service in the area!” wrote BL. • MH wrote: “Can I put one in my back yard? I can’t get a signal in my house.” • LB opposes the amendment, writing “We already have their ugly brown cell towers along our park strips, notably here on the East Bench. This proposal is another step in the wrong direction.” • DS replied: “That's the price of technology. If you oppose this don't complain about poor signal.” • On Nextdoor.com, DD replied: “I don’t see what the issue is. I don’t see anyone objecting to electrical poles, and I even tried to rally people to push the city to bury all electrical (which received a collective groan).” Improving wireless connectivity and reliability is important to many of our community members. And unlike utilities, proximity to infrastructure matters when it comes to better cellular service. Next, we looked at the impact within ELPCO. There are three major Public Lands-PL districts in ELPCO: East High School, Emerson Elementary, and the SLC Fire Station #5 on 900 South. Nearby PL districts include Hawthorne Elementary on 700 East and the USPS Post office on 1100 East. The PL parcel with the densest residential setting is Emerson Elementary, although any antenna there would likely be sited in the athletic area east of the school and adjacent to the RB zoning along 1100 East. As a result, the immediate residential impacts of this amendment appear to be limited in ELPCO… except for the visual impact of a 75-foot metallic brown pine tree with antenna-like foliage jutting above the 30-foot rooftops of houses so that we can download that 4K Hallmark holiday movie a little bit faster. ELPCO (East Liberty Park Community Organization) elpcoslc@gmail.com www.facebook/com/ELPCO Because the potential stealth antennas would be so much taller than any other existing structure in the neighborhood, this visual impact cannot be ignored. Lastly, we considered the impact of this amendment on the overall zoning code and application. And based on this review, we decided to oppose this amendment. First, the motivation for this amendment appears to be the city’s denial to Verizon to build an 80-foot stealth antenna at the Pioneer Police Precinct (zoned PL). We don’t think it is wise to change zoning for the entire city based on the circumstances of one application in a single parcel. Raising the local height restriction for cellular antennas might work for the Pioneer Police Precinct, but it doesn’t mean that similar zoning changes will conform with conditions in ELPCO or other neighborhoods with dense, low-scale residential housing. Second, the scope of the amendment is broad enough to allow Verizon or other wireless carriers to construct antennas in multiple formats that are not in line with the local height limits and building conditions of neighborhoods. The juxtaposition of a 75-foot antenna looming above a row of 30-foot rooflines is entirely plausible under this amendment. Third, we all know that “conditional use” actually means “this train has already left the station.” Conditional use applications are not an efficient or truthful approach to zoning decisions. As a result, the wireless carriers should collaborate with the SLC Planning Department to craft a new zoning code that provides clear, unconditional height limits based on existing and adjacent zoning without the trapdoor of conditional use to allow for unforeseen and harmful impacts. Salt Lake City is facing wireless infrastructure development on multiple fronts. From the proliferation of 5G monopoles to the demand for self-driving cars and better, faster wireless service, these complex pressures require a broad, collaborative process to address wireless infrastructure in the city. This is what we called for in our May 19 letter about the first proposal by Verizon: “We would also like to see a broader coalition—beyond just wireless carriers—engaged in efforts to address equity issues between wireline (i.e., wired Internet access) and wireless connectivity. We know that many residents of ELPCO and other city neighborhoods rely on wireless networks for Internet access in their homes. We also know this need has increased during the pandemic. But resolving this issue should engage more actors than wireless carriers, including city agencies, local nonprofits, and the Salt Lake City Schools. And real and lasting change must involve additional reforms beyond easing zoning and height limits for cell towers.” As a result, I request the SLC Planning Commission deny the Stealth Towers Text Amendment (PLNPCM2020- 00284) until it can be considered in context with all of the wireless infrastructure decisions within the city. Sincerely, Jason Stevenson ELPCO, co-chair 1 Barlow, Aaron From:Margo <becker.margo@gmail.com> Sent:Monday, December 6, 2021 10:20 PM To:Barlow, Aaron Subject:(EXTERNAL) Oppose stealth towers Hi. Please add me to the list of those opposed to Verizon’s proposal for taller stealth towers on public lands. Thanks! Margo Becker December 8, 2021 Dear Salt Lake Planning Commissioners: I am writing to oppose the Stealth Towers Text Amendment (PLNPCM2020-00284) which you will discuss tonight at your Commission meeting. In May, when Verizon requested permitted uses to install 60-foot stealth towers in all zoning across Salt Lake except residential zones, I sent an opposition letter to both the Planning Commission and City Council. This was my argument: “The 60-foot height is unprecedented in most low-density commercial zones like CN-Neighborhood Commercial and CB - Community Business. If the Commission is a pushover for this 60-foot stealth monopole request, then surely they will give Verizon carte blanche to build a 5G tower forest throughout Salt Lake City.” Verizon withdrew that request but is back with another – a “conditional use” proposal to place 75-foot stealth (disguised) wireless towers in PL (Public Lands) zones –anywhere in the city. I urge you to deny the request on these grounds: 1. Conditional use means Verizon has free reign to place their towers indiscriminately in PL zones throughout the city. It’s the proverbial “keys to the car.” Once granted, Verizon can pretty much do what they want, which is troubling. This will tie the city’s hands and hold back residents from determining, or having a say in precisely how many, where and when these towering behemoths will be placed. 2. Don’t buy the argument that PL zones are in non-descript corners of the city that are hidden and that no one cares about. We have three PL zones in the beautiful, residential neighborhood of Yalecrest -- Unitah Elementary School on 1300 South and 1500 East, Bonneville Elementary School on 1900 East and Harvard Avenue, and the East High School baseball park at the Southwest corner of Yalecrest on 900 South. Both schools are surrounded on four sides by single-family homes. There is a neighborhood near the ball park. We are opposed to 75-foot wireless towers in our beautiful neighborhood. 3. Property devaluation. Have you seen comparative photos of what a 75-foot tower looks after construction? (See photos below) A 2014 survey by the National Institute for Science, Law and Public Policy supported the idea that cell towers hurt interest in real estate properties and value, according to the institute’s website. If you approve this, you will have to justify your reasoning to 2,750+ homeowners in Yalecrest who live near Unitah Elementary, Bonneville Elementary and the East High School baseball park. 4. These stealth towers are UGLY. (See pictures below) There is no way to “disguise” a 75- foot-tall wireless tower and make it look beautiful. They pierce the horizon and scream “I don’t fit in.” 5. Our understanding is if Verizon is granted conditional use, it opens the door for other carriers to have the same privileges. There are at least four other major carriers – AT&T, T-Mobile, US Cellular, and Sprint Nextel. Could we see a veritable forest of these 75- foot towers? Please think carefully about the consequences. We support the recommendation from our community council colleague Jason Stevenson, chair of ELPCO: “Wireless carriers should collaborate with the SLC Planning Department to craft a new zoning code that provides clear, unconditional height limits based on existing and adjacent zoning without the trapdoor of conditional use to allow for harmful impacts.” We strongly urge you to deny this conditional use request.

BOX 145476, SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH 84114-5476 SLCCOUNCIL.COM TEL 801-535-7600 FAX 801-535-7651 COUNCIL STAFF REPORT CITY COUNCIL of SALT LAKE CITY TO:City Council Members FROM:Brian Fullmer Policy Analyst DATE:April 19, 2022 RE: Western Gardens Zoning Map Amendment PLNPCM2021-00420 PUBLIC HEARING UPDATE Two people spoke at the April 5, 2022 public hearing, both opposed to the zoning map amendment. Reasons cited for their opposition are the proposed zone is inappropriate for the area, and new development could potentially be too close to homes on Hawthorne Avenue. The Council closed the public hearing and deferred action to a future meeting. The following information was provided for the April 5, 2022 public hearing. It is provided again for background purposes. BRIEFING UPDATE At the March 22 briefing a Council Member asked why the Historic Landmark Commission didn’t provide a recommendation. Planning staff stated the Planning Commission did not include the request and the Landmark Commission is not required to make a recommendation. A Council Member asked about potential RDA funding availability for affordable housing units if the developer is inclined to include them. Council staff contacted RDA staff who indicated they will look into this option and then reach out to the developer to discuss. Other questions were focused on height, density, and parking requirements. Planning staff stated height limits depend on the type of development. This proposal is for multifamily residential which has a four Item Schedule: Briefing: March 22, 2022 Set Date: March 22, 2022 Public Hearing: April 5, 2022 Potential Action: April 19, 2022 Page | 2 story, 50-foot height limit, with no density maximum. There is not a minimum parking requirement. Planning further stated the current CN zoning designation has a 35-foot height maximum and there are parking minimums. CN zoning does not permit multifamily residential, but mixed-use developments with residential are allowed. A Council Member expressed general support for additional density but reiterated a desire for better zoning options to get correctly scaled zoning for projects that may not be an ideal fit within the FB-UN2 designation. According to Planning staff, the FB-UN2 zone is intended for locations with good transit access, which is located close to this project. Planning staff noted if the Council adopts the zoning map amendment, because this location is within a local historic district, the Historic Landmark Commission has discretion to include additional requirements on building scale, setbacks, and potentially others to help ensure a development fits within the area’s historic context. A Council Member discussed neighbor concerns about the requested zoning designation. It was stated the need for additional housing, with associated changes to the neighborhood is a difficult balance to reach. The applicant addressed the Council and stated he is partnering with the property owner who is retiring and desires to close the garden center. He said there is general community support for multifamily housing at this location. The most frequent concern he heard was about scale of the development and how it would fit the neighborhood character. He discussed required step-backs when FB-UN2 projects abut residential zoning districts. He believes FB-UN2 is an appropriate transition between single family residential, as is the case to the south and west of the subject property, and the apartments and commercial uses to the north and east. The developer stated no housing or historic buildings will be removed as part of the proposed development. The following information was provided for the March 22, briefing. It is provided again for background purposes. The Council will be briefed about a proposal to amend the zoning map for property located at 550 South 600 East from its current Neighborhood Commercial (CN) to Form Based Urban Neighborhood District (FB-UN2). This request would facilitate the redevelopment of the parcel into a multifamily project consistent with the goals of the urban neighborhood development zones and proximity to transit. Western Garden Center has been located on this property for many years. The property owner and developer are working together on the proposed redevelopment project, though no specific development plans have been submitted. Multifamily developments are not permitted under the existing CN zoning designation but are a permitted use in the FB-UN2 zoning district. The applicant originally proposed changing the zoning designation to Residential Office (RO) at a presentation to the Central City Neighborhood Council but modified the proposal to FB-UN2 following community and Planning staff comments at the meeting. The Planning Commission held a public hearing at its December 8, 2021 meeting. Planning staff recommended and the Planning Commission forwarded a positive recommendation to the City Council. The applicant requested Historic Landmark Commission review of the proposal because this property is within the Central City Local Historic District. The Commission reviewed the proposal at its January 6, Page | 3 2022 meeting. At that meeting the developer stated they would not remove any historic structures or housing on the property. The Commission provided little direction to the applicant other than an expectation they would be respectful of surrounding neighbors. No recommendation was provided to the City Council. Area zoning map with subject property outlined in red. Goal of the briefing: Review the proposed zoning map amendment, determine if the Council supports moving forward with the proposal. POLICY QUESTIONS 1. The applicant stated they would not remove any historic structures on the property. Would the Council like to ask the applicant if they would consider including that condition in a development agreement? 2. Based on the feedback provided by the Historic Landmark Commission, the Council may wish to ask what neighborhood impacts may be expected by the future development. 3. Is the Council supportive of the proposed zoning map amendment? ADDITIONAL INFORMATION The Council is only being asked to consider the rezoning of the property. No plans have been submitted to the City nor is it within the scope of the Council’s authority to review the plans. Because the zoning of a property can outlast the life of a building, any rezoning application should be considered on the merits of changing the zoning of that property, not simply based on a potential project. Planning staff identified three key issues related to the proposal which are found on pages 7-8 of the Planning Commission staff report. They are summarized below. For the complete analysis, please see the staff report. Issue 1-The redevelopment of the subject property is a multi-step and complex project. The rezone of the property is only the first step in the overall redevelopment. A series of applications associated with the proposed redevelopment would need to be filed for City consideration. The property is in the Central City Local Historic District and would be required to meet standards of the Historic Preservation Overlay Zone. New construction on the property would require Historic Landmark Commission approval. Planned development approval is a possibility depending on design of new construction. Page | 4 Issue 2-Why the FB-UN2 Zone and why would it be appropriate? The FB-UN2 district aims to create an urban neighborhood providing the following: Options for housing types Options in terms of shopping, dining, and fulfilling daily needs within walking distance or conveniently located near mass transit Transportation options Access to employment opportunities within walking distance or close to mass transit Appropriately scaled buildings that respect the existing character of the neighborhood Safe, accessible, and interconnected networks for people to move around in Increased desirability as a place to work, live, play, and invest through higher quality form and design In the Planning Commission staff report staff stated “To summarize, the FB-UN2 zone is appropriate at this location because there is the potential to realize all of the criteria specifically envisioned for creating an attractive urban neighborhood. It allows for the mix of uses if desired, it allows for future development flexibility, promotes creative solutions in design, and most importantly is located within close proximity to mass transit. The request for a rezone to FB-UN2 is also consistent with Central Community Master Plan policy.” They also found the property’s proximity to the Trolley Square Trax station is a primary reason FB- UN2 zoning is appropriate. Issue 3-The property proposed for rezoning is subject to the standards of the H – Historic Preservation Overlay Zone. As noted above, the subject property is in the Central City Historic District and subject to the H – Historic Preservation Overlay District development standards. These standards are intended to ensure development is compatible with the surrounding neighborhood and preserve historic neighborhood resources. The Historic Preservation Overlay District standards for new development require compatibility with surrounding structures and streetscapes. This may limit new structure height to less than the FB-UN2 zoning designation would typically allow. Planning staff noted development will need to be sensitive to the variety of mass and scale on surrounding properties, including less dense residential development to the south and west. Future development plans will be reviewed by the Historic Landmark Commission for applicable development standards within the Historic Preservation Overlay District. Planning staff concluded the zoning map amendment meets or can meet standards summarized in the analysis of standards below. MASTER PLAN CONSIDERATIONS Attachment C (pages 15-17 of the Planning Commission staff report) includes master plan considerations which are summarized below. Please see Planning’s staff report for the full analysis. Central Community Master Plan The Central Community Master Plan identifies the subject property as part of the Trolley Station Area due to its proximity to Trax. The Trolley Station is part of an Urban Neighborhood Station Area which has established development with a mixture of uses and can support increased residential density and supporting commercial uses. New development typically occurs on underdeveloped or underutilized properties. Compact developments are desired to focus new growth at the station while respecting existing neighborhood scale and intensity. Page | 5 Planning staff is supportive of the rezone and found it is consistent with the Trolley Station area goals in the Master Plan. H-Historic Preservation Overlay District Planning staff included the Historic Preservation Overlay District purpose statement, which says: In order to contribute to the welfare, prosperity and education of the people of Salt Lake City, the purpose of the H- historic preservation overlay district is to: 1.Provide the means to protect and preserve areas of the city and individual structures and sites having historic, architectural or cultural significance; 2.Encourage new development, redevelopment and the subdivision of lots in historic districts that is compatible with the character of existing development of historic districts or individual landmarks; 3.Abate the destruction and demolition of historic structures; 4.Implement adopted plans of the city related to historic preservation; 5.Foster civic pride in the history of Salt Lake City; 6.Protect and enhance the attraction of the city's historic landmarks and districts for tourists and visitors; 7.Foster economic development consistent with historic preservation; and 8.Encourage social, economic and environmental sustainability. Planning wanted to “put all interested parties on notice that the standards associated with the Overlay will play a significant role in the future development of the subject property.” Plan Salt Lake Planning staff noted the following guiding principles outlined in Plan Salt Lake and found the proposed rezone aligns with these along with policies and strategies in the Plan. Growing responsibly while providing people with choices about where they live, how they live, and how they get around. A beautiful city that is people focused. A balanced economy that produces quality jobs and foster an environment for commerce, local business, and industry to thrive.

ORIGINAL PETITION PLNPCM2021-00420 Submittal Requirements: 1. A statement declaring the purpose for the amendment. This proposed amendment of the zoning map is to change the zoning for the 2.3 acre parcel 16-06-476-029 from its current Commercial Neighborhood (CN) use to Form Based Urban Neighborhood District (FB-UN2) in its entirety. This zoning map amendment change will facilitate the potential sale and redevelopment of this parcel, as a partnership between the current owner and Cottonwood Residential, into a multifamily project. This site currently houses the Western Garden Center which has been a part of the community for multiple years. The owners of this business view this redevelopment as a part of their retirement plan and would not plan to remain in business in this location under different circumstances. The building located on this parcel has been confirmed as a non-contributing structure within the historic overlay of this neighborhood. The adjacent land use and zones within this block include CN, RO, RFM-35 and SR-3 as the block transitions from higher density, commercial and mixed uses (CN and RO) to a more residential scale that continues further South (RFM-35 and SR- 3). The intent of this project to develop a multifamily project would strengthen this transition with an appropriate residential use that provides its own parking, doesn’t compete but rather supports the adjacent commercial uses in Trolley Square and supports a walkable, diverse neighborhood with access to grocery stores and established public transportation systems. The zone change to FB-UN2 respects the Central Community Master Plan desire for a transitional zone from the high density RO zoning to the north to the low density single family neighborhood to the south while allowing for multi-family housing uses that meet the purpose statement for the zone. This location with the FB-UN2 rezone will create a people-oriented place with diverse housing opportunities, convenient shopping and mass transit opportunities. There are opportunities for employment within walking distance and the design will be an appropriately scaled building(s) that respect the existing character of the neighborhood while increasing interconnection, access and safety. This zone addresses adjacency to commercial vs. residential zones with specific step back, yard and height requirements that will create a natural transition. Additionally the focus of this zone on form and how buildings are oriented to the public space means that concerns regarding massing will be directly addressed. 2. A description of the proposed use of the property being rezoned. The proposed new use of this property is a multifamily residential development. This new development under the new FB-UN2 zoning is located within the Central City Neighborhood and Historic District. This means that the plans for redevelopment will be subject to review by the Historic Landmark Commission (HLC) and the character and form of the design will be reviewed for compliance with the Historic Design Guidelines for New Construction Guidelines. This also allows the HLC to modify lot and bulk requirements per 21A.06.050.C.6. These requirements will promote continuity of the historic character of the neighborhood as a part of this new development. Additionally the FB- UN2 zone also has form requirements that the planning commission will review, providing two types of oversight. It is the intent of the development to use these resources as an opportunity to create a unique community within the neighborhood that is an asset to the existing amenities and respects the adjacent residential zones and the streetscape. There will be no loss of historic structures or housing stock as a result of this development, in fact, housing stock will be increased to help address the current housing crisis in Salt Lake City. 3. List the reasons why the present zoning may not be appropriate for the area. The present zoning, CN, is a low density zone that does not allow for multifamily uses. Additionally the commercial use of this location currently competes with the Trolley Square development while additional multi-family residential use would support this use and provide an adjacent workforce to support the retail and commercial functions. This location, adjacent to commercial, retail and public transportation resources promotes walkable, sustainable living in the heart of the city. It creates a more appropriate transition to the adjacent low density residential neighborhood and provides housing opportunities. 4. Is the request amending the Zoning Map? Yes; Address – 550 600 E Suite, Salt Lake City, UT 84102; Parcel #16-06-476-029 5. Is the request amending the text of the Zoning Ordinance? Not Applicable 4.

ADDITIONAL PUBLIC COMMENT From:Janet Hemming To:Planning Public Comments; Clark, Aubrey; Traughber, Lex Subject:(EXTERNAL) Opposition letter to Western Gardens rezone (PLNPCM2021-00420 ) Date:Wednesday, December 8, 2021 3:55:58 PM Attachments:Western Gardens opposition letter.docx Dear Salt Lake City Planning Commissioners: Attached is a letter opposing the Western Garden rezone. I ask that you review it before your Commission meeting tonight and that it be placed in the official record. Respectfully, Janet (Jan) Hemming Chair, Yalecrest Neighborhood Council December 8, 2021 Dear Salt Lake City Planning Commissioners: I oppose the petition of Tyler Morris, Cottonwood Residential, to rezone the Western Gardens property at 550 South 600 East to FB-UN2 – Form Based Urban Neighborhood District (PLNPCM2021-00420 ). My opposition is based on the following: • The Planning Department staff report says the zone change request “respects the Central Community Master Plan.” How was that conclusion possibly reached because this proposal is in direct conflict with the Central Community Master Plan and the Preservation Plan created in 2012. The FB-UN2 zone allows for structures up to 50 feet in height. This project would dwarf the buildings across the street at Trolley Square and tower above the single-family homes on Hawthorne Avenue. • This property is in an historic district and subject to the Historic Preservation Overlay Zone. 50-foot structures are not permitted in historic districts. • One of the most important statements in the staff report emphasizes that this property “is adjacent to less intense residential development existing on to the south and west. Future development of the subject property will need to be sensitive to this surrounding mass and scale and will need to be particularly sensitive in terms of building heights and setbacks.” Loud sirens should sound with this message because what this means is the neighborhood is going to be overwhelmed with a gigantic, towering structure that has no place in this location. It will negatively impact the nearby homes and residences. We understand a 10-story structure is proposed and was originally going to be 12 stories. Why is that not clearly disclosed in the staff report? • The Salt Lake City’s Planning Department should be renamed “The Friendly Developer’s Department.” As a taxpayer and voter, I was under the impression that the Planning Department existed to preserve and develop our communities and neighborhoods in wise ways– especially our historic places, not tear them down, or open the door to behemoth construction projects. • 21A.27.010.B.3 says local streets (600 E is not an arterial) should have relatively low building height, similar to surrounding buildings. Surrounding buildings are 2-3 stories. I am opposed to this petition, and hope as Commissioners you will consider the damaging consequences this project will have on the concept of historic preservation, the surrounding neighborhood, and the character of this great and beautiful city. As one who resides in an historic neighborhood, these kinds of encroachments send a chilling message about our future and the degree to which the Planning Commission values or doesn’t value historic districts. Respectfully, Janet (Jan) Hemming Chair, Yalecrest Neighborhood Council From:Jan Ellen Burton To:Traughber, Lex Subject:(EXTERNAL) Re: Western Gardens Property Date:Wednesday, December 8, 2021 5:07:09 PM I have enjoyed walking through the neighborhoods adjacent to Trolley Square. There is a special feeling connected with old Salt Lake, much of which is sadly disappearing. I do not counter the idea that the Western Gardens property may need to be replaced. However, the depictions of the build-out on 600 East are disturbing, as there is little positive in the way of architectural design. There is no attempt to integrate the new structures with the neighborhood. I am reminded of the Soviet era cookie-cutter structures I have seen in Eastern Europe--The design is not the same, but the end product appears as regimented.

While FB-UN2 has great potential for the future, in its current state nothing should be rezoned to it until the problems and flaws which it presents are addressed and fixed. We in the Central 9th have seen firsthand for many years the unintended side effects of FB-UN2, we have seen no work done to address these concerns and therefore oppose the zoning from being applied elsewhere until the serious work at correction occurs. Major concerns with FB-UN2 include some of the following. 1. FB-UN2 allows very large projects with significant impact to neighborhoods to be built with little to zero community engagement. Projects which will dramatically change the nature and feel of an area permanently are allowed by right without any offsetting quality of life improvements for those who already live or work in the neighborhoods where they are built. 2. In Central 9th we’ve seen how developers have taken advantage of FB-UN2 to build very poor- quality projects which will not stand the test of time. 3. FB-UN2 discourages greenspace and trees. A simple walk around Central 9th would show anyone the greenspace desert it’s helped create. It would be a terrible shame for such a lovely greenspace as Western Garden to become the micro-unit nightmare of FB-UN2 units you see on West Temple and throughout Central 9th, with no greenspace, no trees, no common space for residents to enjoy, and certainly zero benefit to the quality of life for existing surrounding residents and businesses. 4. FB-UN2 also has little influence in ground level engagement which might possibly offset some of the extreme density it allows, but instead our experience is seeing mailboxes and laundry rooms through ground level windows. There are other issues with FB-UN2 which have been brought to planning and the administrations attention for several years, yet we see no movement to make the minor tweaks and adjustments which would make it a great zoning type for Salt Lake City. Until these serious concerns are addressed and rectified, we cannot in good faith endorse it’s use in any part of the city.

Increasing funding for domestic violence survivor services was also discussed, how it’s a significant cause of homelessness and these types of crimes have risen since the pandemic began. The Council requested a briefing on the Ballpark Station Area Plan draft to help provide context on the City’s overall planning and funding strategy including CDBG Neighborhood Improvements #1 application. Several potential funding shifts and application-specific questions were raised which are detailed below in order of appearance on the Funding Log (Attachment 2). CDBG Public Services #2 Catholic Community Services Case Manager at Weigand Center Request is $50,000 and recommended funding of $35,000 Some Council Members expressed interest in avoiding partial funding of case manager full time employees (FTEs). The applicant also applied for Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) funding from a bank to cover the other half of the FTE cost which has not been secured at the time of publishing this staff report. The $50,000 request represents 6% of the applicant’s total budget and is estimated to serve 45 very low-income clients. CDBG Public Services #13 Transportation Division Low Income Transit Passes Request is $45,000 and recommended funding of $30,000 The discounted low-income passes are a partnership between the Utah Transit Authority (UTA) and Salt Lake City which builds upon the existing HIVE Pass partnership. UTA covers 75% of the discount for low-income passes and the City covers the remaining 25% for a cost of $21 per pass. This is a greater discount than the HIVE Pass which costs $42. At the recommended funding level, 143 individuals are anticipated to use the passes over the course of one year. The passes are provided to five homeless service providers for distribution to clients. Unused HIVE Pass Funding – The Council may wish to ask the Administration if there is unused existing budget for HIVE Passes that could be used for low-income transit passes instead of CDBG funding. HIVE Pass utilization is reported to be down significantly since the pandemic began. This approach might be a one-time funding opportunity if HIVE Pass utilization increases to pre-pandemic levels in future years. Project Timeline: Set Date: February 15, 2022 1st Briefing: March 22, 2022 Public Hearing: March 22, 2022 2nd Briefing: April 5, 2022 3rd Briefing: April 12, 2022 (if needed) Potential Action: April 19, 2022 Page | 2 2 0 3 5 1 CDBG Public Services #15 Shelter the Homeless HRCs Meals Request is $136,130 and recommended funding of $57,778 The applicant’s total annual meal budget for the Gail Miller and Geraldine King Homeless Resource Centers (HRC) is $663,400. In 2021, 341,923 meals were provided. At the time of publishing this staff report $330,000 or 49% of the total funding need has been secured. Other funding requests are pending from charitable organizations. Neither the State nor County have provided funding for meals at these two HRCs in Salt Lake City. Shelter the Homeless plans to submit to the County’s CDBG and ESG process an identical request to this one. The recommended funding level represents 9% of the annual meals budget. Shelter the Homeless provides hot lunches and dinners while the HRC specific operators provide breakfasts which are mostly sourced from food donations. The HRCs have provided three meals a day since opening. CDBG Public Services #16 South Valley Sanctuary Domestic Violence Case Manager and Housing Request is $100,000 and recommended funding of $50,000 The requested amount would fully fund a case manager FTE and is estimated to provide housing assistance to 15 households in Salt Lake City. The applicant states that “the largest cuts accompanying the $50,000 award would come from the housing assistance money as a case manager is crucial to spending down and reporting on this grant.” The funding provides case manager services exclusively for Salt Lake City residents which would likely be cut without some CDBG funding due to significant unexpected cost increases this year. The applicant has not secured other funding to cover the $50,000 shortfall under the recommended funding amount. The $100,000 request represents 4% of the applicant’s total budget but 21% of the program budget. The applicant partners with the City Main Library downtown to provide services in addition to homeless service providers. CDBG Public Services #17 The Children’s Center Therapeutic Preschool Program Request is $110,000 and recommended funding of $55,000 The requested funding represents 4% of the applicant’s program budget. The current year program budget has secured 58% of the $2.6 million total need. 15 grants from charitable and private entities have been secured for a total of $292,925. The program was forced to reduce the number of children in each class due to the lack of COVID vaccination options and to limit potential exposures. This resulted in less funding for the program. Other agencies working with young children and childcare providers (e.g., YouthCity program) reported similar issues. CDBG Public Services #21 The Road Home Magnolia Apartments Request is $222,000 and recommended funding of $0 The apartments have been full since opening and tenants receive intensive case management and services on- site. The Road Home operates the building and reports one case manager FTE is currently vacant. The requested funding would provide three case manager FTEs and one supervisor. It’s unclear whether these are new positions or existing and how the FTEs would be funded absent this request. The City provided a 99-year ground lease of the property at a cost of $1/month and a $1 million Housing Trust Fund loan for construction of the 65- unit permanent supportive housing development. It’s worth noting that The Road Home submitted 10 applications across three of the HUD grants (all but HOPWA). Staffing Levels and Permanent Supportive Housing Status – The Council may wish to ask the Administration if The Magnolia needs additional staffing to fully meet the intended permanent supportive housing services and to what extent this application represents new FTEs or changing the funding source for existing FTEs. CDBG Public Services #25 YWCA Women in Jeopardy Program Request is $172,161 and recommended funding of $0 The applicant reports that if $30,000 were awarded, then part of a shelter advocate FTE would be funded; if $50,000 were awarded, then part of a housing case manager FTE would be funded; if $100,000 was awarded, then a housing case manager FTE would be fully funded, and any remaining amount would support a shelter advocate or assistant director FTE. The different positions that would be funded based on the awarded amount was considered by the advisory board as lacking clarity in the budget narrative. Two other areas that resulted in a relatively low application score are relatively high turnover in key staff positions and noncompliance with a new Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) nondiscrimination and fair housing requirement for service availability regardless of sex, sexual orientation, and gender identity. The YWCA domestic violence shelter services are limited to women and children and excluding men conflicts with the new VAWA requirements. The downtown YWCA location is the largest domestic violence shelter in the state. Bringing Program into VAWA Compliance – The Council may wish to ask the Administration if the applicant plans to adjust their program to satisfy new VAWA requirements. Page | 3 2 0 3 5 1 HOME #2 Neighborworks Affordable Home Buydown Program Request is $315,000 and recommended funding of $0 The Council asked why this application scored relatively low this year. Factors include greater competition this year from larger dollar amount requests and two new applications, lack of clarity in the applicant’s responses to Board questions particularly the need to develop program guidelines, policies and reporting, a lower number of benefiting residents compared to HOME #1 Community Development Corporation’s Down Payment Assistance program, and a Board preference this year to prioritize rental assistance and low-income assistance programs. HOME #3 HOME Development Fund Request is $900,000 and recommended funding of $317,448 HUD requires 15% of the City’s HOME grant award go to Community Housing Development Organizations (CHDO) and qualifying programs. None of the HOME application this year qualify for CHDO based on HUD’s specific criteria including who serves on entity’s governing boards, their legal status, capacity and as a private nonprofit which is certified annually with the City. CHDO funding must be used to create new low-income housing for rent or ownership. The Department clarified that the “last round of CHDO awards, completed in FY2020, included applications from three community CHDOs and fulfilled our CHDO requirement up until FY 2021.” A minimum of $146,229 must go to a CHDO based on the current estimated HOME grant award. Four organizations in the City are certified as CHDOs: Community Development Corporation of Utah, Neighborworks Salt Lake, The Road Home, and the Utah Nonprofit Housing Corporation. However, none of the four organizations submitted applications for CHDO qualifying uses this year. Holding Account and Policy Discussion – The Council may wish to discuss with the Administration the idea of placing CHDO funding in a HOME Development Fund holding account pending a policy discussion about the program and how it relates to the “one-stop shop” housing development in the RDA policy goal. Encourage More CHDO Qualifying Applications – The Council may wish to ask the Administration how the four CHDO certified organizations in the City could be assisted in submitting more qualifying applications. The Council may also wish to ask if there are alternative approaches such as a multi-year CHDO funding opportunity like in FY2020.  Information below was provided to the Council at earlier briefings  ISSUE AT-A-GLANCE The U.S. Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Department’s annual grant programs are one of the most significant ongoing funding sources the City receives from the Federal Government. Fiscal Year 2023 is subject to the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan which introduced new funding goals, strategies, and a targeted area for spending CDBG dollars on public infrastructure and economic development. See the additional info section for the goals and strategies applications must advance to qualify for these grant funds and Attachment 3 for a map of the target area. The Council is scheduled to hold a hybrid public hearing on Tuesday, March 22 to hear from the public and grant applicants regarding community needs for the 2022-2023 funding cycle. As seen in most years, the requested funding from applicants is significantly greater than available funds. Requests are 162% of available funding: $11,389,939 is requested compared to $7,028,013 in available funding. HUD has not provided Salt Lake City’s final grant award amounts. The available funding could change based on HUD’s pending confirmation of the amounts. The resident advisory boards provided recommendations in case funding is more or less than estimated. The board’s recommendations are shown on the Funding Log at the end of each grant and a summary table in the additional info section below. The table below summarizes requested and available funding by grant. Note that the HOPWA grant has more funding available than requested. HOPWA grant awards to the City have more than doubled in the last seven years. Funding awards for the other three grants have not seen similar increases.

Minimum Funding Level Five years ago, the City established a minimum funding level for grant awards. HUD recommends a $35,000 minimum award for projects. Housing and Neighborhood Development (HAND) recommends $30,000 after consultations with applicants. The minimum award is aimed at maximizing community benefits from grant awards. The intent of this policy is to balance the burden for the Administration and recipient organizations to manage grant funds with the goal of having positive impacts in the community. This year, no applications were disqualified for requesting less than the minimum funding requirement. Scoring Applications and Funding Recommendations CDBG and ESG projects receive scores and funding recommendations from the CDCIP Board. HOME and HOPWA projects receive funding recommendations from the Housing Trust Fund (HTF) Advisory Board. The advisory board funding recommendations are provided to the Mayor and City Council. The Council receives another set of funding recommendations from the Mayor. The final decision is made by the Council for grant award amounts. Attachment 1 shows projects ranked by the combined score within each grant category. Attachment 2 is the funding log for all four federal grants which has more details than Attachment 1 such as project and program descriptions and prior year award amounts for returning applications. The funding log combines advisory board and Administration scores as shown in the far-right column where maximum potential scores are also shown. Funding Log Trends Council staff noticed the following trends after reviewing the funding logs: - Identical Recommendations – The advisory board and mayoral funding recommendations are identical for all four grants - New Applications – This year there are 14 new applications for CDBG, five for ESG, two for HOME and no new applications for HOPWA. New applications with funding recommendations are: o CDBG Housing #2 First Step House Recovery Residence Rehabilitation o CDBG Housing #3 International Center for Appropriate and Sustainable Technology (ICAST) Decarbonizing Supportive Housing o CDBG Housing #6 Neighborworks of Salt Lake Home Rehabilitation and Improvement o CDBG Neighborhood Improvements #1 City Transportation Division Ballpark TRAX Accessible Pedestrian Crossing o CDBG Public Services #2 Catholic Community Services Case Manager at Weigand Homeless Resource Center o CDBG Public Services #17 The Children’s Center Therapeutic Preschool Program o CDBG Public Services #20 The Road Home Housing Staffing o ESG Part 1 #2 Family Promise Salt Lake Community Family Shelter o ESG Part 2 #4 The Road Home Homelessness Prevention o HOME #4 South Valley Sanctuary Domestic Violence Survivor Housing Assistance - Disqualified Applications – No applications were disqualified across the four grants this year - Returning Applications without Funding Recommendations – There are seven returning applications that received grant awards in recent years but did not receive funding recommendations this year: Page | 5 2 0 3 5 1 o CDBG Public Services #3 Community Development Corporation Housing Counseling o CDBG Public Services #18 The Inn Between End of Life Care and Medical Respite o CDBG Public Services #19 The Road Home Gail Miller Resource Center o CDBG Public Services #25 YWCA Utah Women in Jeopardy Program o ESG Part 1 #1 Catholic Community Services Weigand Homeless Resource Center Client Intake and Operations o ESG Part 1 #7 The Road Home Gail Miller Resource Center o ESG Part 2 #1 Utah Community Action Diversion Program Increasing CDBG Housing Category Funding The chart below compares the annual funding in the housing category of CDBG over seven fiscal years. The Council identified affordable housing as a priority several years ago. The chart shows that a greater amount of CDBG funding has gone to housing in recent years. It’s important to note that the Council’s policy guidance is aligned with increasing CDBG housing funding. The funding over seven fiscal years is $11,799,167 in total assuming the FY2023 recommended amounts are approved by the Council. The funding has gone to several housing assistance programs during this time and some applications have been included every year. Examples of how this funding was used are first time homebuyer assistance, rehabilitation of existing housing, emergency home repairs (large and small), and accessibility improvements. $1,130,000 $1,415,000 $1,050,900 $2,263,557 $1,855,073 $2,035,800 $2,048,837 $- $500,000 $1,000,000 $1,500,000 $2,000,000 $2,500,000 Total CDBG Housing Funding Comparing Annual Housing Category CDBG Funding FY2017 to FY2023 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 Note: FY2023 is funding recommended by the advisory board and Mayor POLICY QUESTIONS 1.Differences between Application Scores and Funding Recommendations – The Council may wish to ask the Administration why the four applications list below with relatively high scores are not recommended for funding. The Council may also wish to ask why ESG Part 1 #2 is recommended for funding while the score is the third lowest in the category. - CDBG Public Services The Road Home applications #19 Gail Miller Resource Center and #22 St. Vincent de Paul Overflow - CDBG Public Services #23 Utah AIDS Foundation Clinical Mental Health (note the applicant also submitted HOPWA #3 for the same program which is recommended for double funding) - ESG Part 1 #7 The Road Home Gail Miller Resource Center (note this is the highest scoring ESG application this year) 2.HAND’s HOME Development Fund (HOME #3) – The Council may wish to discuss with the Administration how the HOME Development Fund fits into the Council’s policy goal of the RDA having a Page | 6 2 0 3 5 1 “one-stop shop” for affordable housing developers. The HOME Development Fund can be used for property acquisition, new construction, and rehabilitation of existing housing. The Council may also wish to discuss how the HOME Development Fund could better align with the Council’s policy goal and potential changes for the FY2023 funding cycle. 3.Multiple Funding Sources for Ballpark Redevelopment – The Council may wish to discuss with the Administration the City’s overall strategy for funding redevelopment of the Ballpark and surrounding area. Multiple funding requests have been or are planned to be presented to the Council for this effort. The total funding of the five requested listed below is $5,781,183. The Administration is currently evaluating public input on the draft Ballpark Station Area Plan and it will be presented to the Planning Commission. The City Council would ultimately review and adopt the plan. - $100,000 RDA Budget Amendment #2 charges and services for consultant work on Ballpark redevelopment efforts - $500,000 pending FY2023 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) application for Ballpark Station Area Plan Implementation Phase 1 could include technical analyses, public engagement, designs, pedestrian and bicycle connections / crossings, lane redesign of 1300 South, improved alleyways and parking management efforts - $550,000 CDBG Neighborhood Improvements #1 City Transportation Division Ballpark TRAX Accessible Pedestrian Crossing - $1,631,183 RDA Budget Amendment #2 State Street project area Ballpark strategic development holding account - $3 million for improvements to the Ballpark stadium and facilities in capital improvements bond (note the Administration is reviewing the projects in the bond and may forward a new proposal for FY2023) 4.Encouraging Behavioral Health and Mental Health Applications – The Council may wish to ask the Administration how more organizations can be encouraged to and assisted with submitting applications for the new behavioral health goal. This was a new goal under the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan that focuses on providing treatment and support for persons experiencing mental health challenges and substance abuse particularly the ongoing opioid crisis. Four behavioral health applications were submitted this year: - CDBG Public Services #6 First Step House Peer Support Services which is recommended for partial funding - CDBG Public Services Odyssey House applications #9 Residential Treatment Transportation and #10 Transitional Living Program which are not recommended for funding, and - HOPWA #3 Utah AIDS Foundation Mental Health Services which is recommended for double funding 5.Fix the Bricks and HAND’s Housing Rehabilitation and Homebuyer Program (CDBG Housing #4) – The Council may wish to ask the Administration if these funds could provide some or all the 25% match for homeowners to participate in the City’s Fix the Bricks seismic improvements program. It was recently transferred from the Fire Department to HAND. Reviews of applications and completed projects indicate less participation for low- and moderate-income homeowners including on the Westside. ADDITIONAL & BACKGROUND INFORMATION Funding Contingencies The advisory boards provided recommendations in case final grant funding amounts from HUD or more or less than the estimated amounts. These funding contingencies are summarized in the table below. The Council may wish to identify which funding contingencies are supported in the event HUD’s confirmation of final funding amounts isn’t available by the scheduled vote on April 19. Grant If MORE Funding Available If LESS Funding Available CDBG Maximize Administration category at 20% and add funding to #15 Shelter the Homeless Resource Center Meals up to the 15% Public Service cap then if funding remains add to Neighborhood Improvements #2 City Transportation Bus Stop Improvements Keep Administration category maximized at 20% and reduce Neighborhood Improvements #2 City Transportation Bus Stop Improvements and Public Services #1 Advantage Services Supportive Employment Program but keep Public Services category at the 15% cap Page | 7 2 0 3 5 1 ESG Maximize #1 Administration at 7.5% and add funding equally between #2 Family Promise Salt Lake Community Family Shelter, #3 First Step House Homeless Resource Center Program, #10 Volunteers of America (VOA) Women’s Resource Center, and #11 VOA Youth Resource Center Keep #1 Administration maximized at 7.5% and spread reductions across agencies but maintain $30,000 minimum award HOME Maximize #7 Administration at 10% and add funding to # HOME Development Fund Keep #7 Administration maximized at 10% and reduce #3 HOME Development Fund HOPWA Maximize #5 Administration at 3% and add funding to #4 Utah Community Action Housing Supportive Services up to $235,000, then any remaining funds to #1 Housing Connect Tenant Based Rental Assistance Keep #5 Administration maximized at 3% and reduce #4 Utah Community Action down to $165,000 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan Goals and Strategies The City must report progress to HUD on how funding awards advance the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan goals. In past years, some applicants that received funding were not aligned with the five-year plan. As a result, the services provided by those organizations could not be reported to HUD. If a city does not adequately fund applications advancing the five-year plan then HUD could view the program as underperforming, lower future grant award amounts, and/or audit the city’s program. The below table summarizes the goals and strategies of the current consolidated plan. Goals Strategies Housing: Provide expanded housing options for all economic and demographic segments of Salt Lake City’s population while diversifying housing stock within neighborhoods 1. Support housing programs that address the needs of aging housing stock through targeted rehabilitation efforts and diversifying the housing stock within the neighborhoods 2. Support affordable housing development that increases the number and types of units available for qualified residents 3. Support programs that provide access to home ownership 4. Support rent assistance programs to emphasize stable housing as a primary strategy to prevent and/or end homelessness 5. Support programs that provide connection to permanent housing upon exiting behavioral health programs 6. Provide housing and essential supportive services to persons with HIV/AIDS Transportation: Promote accessibility and affordability of multimodal transportation options 1. Within eligible target areas, improve bus stop amenities as a way to encourage the accessibility of public transit and enhance the experience of public transit 2. Within eligible target areas, expand and support the installation of bike racks, stations, and amenities as a way to encourage use of alternative modes of transportation 3. Support access to transportation, prioritizing very low- income and vulnerable populations Community Resiliency: Provide tools to increase economic and/or housing stability 1. Support job training and vocational rehabilitation programs that increase economic mobility 2. Improve visual and physical appearance of deteriorating commercial buildings - limited to CDBG Target Area 3. Provide economic development support for microenterprise businesses 4. Direct financial assistance to for-profit businesses Page | 8 2 0 3 5 1 Goals Strategies 5. Expand access to early childhood education to set the stage for academic achievement, social development, and change the cycle of poverty 6. Promote digital inclusion through access to digital communication technologies and the internet 7. Provide support for programs that reduce food insecurity for vulnerable population Homeless Services: Expand access to supportive programs that help ensure homelessness is rare, brief and non- reoccurring 1. Expand support for medical and dental care options for those experiencing homelessness 2. Provide support for homeless services including Homeless Resource Center Operations and Emergency Overflow Operations 3. Provide support for programs undertaking outreach services to address the needs of those living an unsheltered life 4. Expand case management support as a way to connect those experiencing homelessness with permanent housing and supportive services Behavioral Health: Provide support for low income and vulnerable populations experiencing behavioral health concerns such as substance abuse disorders and mental health challenges 1. Expand treatment options, counseling support, and case management for those experiencing behavioral health crisis CDBG Public Infrastructure and Economic Development Target Area in 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan (Attachment 3) The target area creates geographic boundaries for spending CDBG funding on economic development and public infrastructure improvements. These applications are included in the CDBG Neighborhood Improvements category on the funding log. Examples of these project types includes business façade improvement grants, public transit improvements and creation of ADA ramps. The geographic target areas do not apply to housing or public services category applications. Focusing federal grants in these target areas is intended to maximize community impact and stimulate investments from other entities into the neighborhoods. The Council chose the current boundaries to align with Census tracts with relatively higher concentrations of poverty and to overlap with three RDA project areas: North Temple, 9-Line and State Street. Summary of Available Funding by Grant The table below shows funding sources by grant. Note that only the HOME grant program sees some funds returned as program income from loans. When prior year grant awards are recaptured, it means the program or project was unable to use the funding as intended which happens for various reasons. Grant Source Amount HUD Award $ 3,570,517Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)Recaptured Funding $ 1,100,000 HUD Award $ 299,267Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG)Recaptured Funding $ 27,000 HUD Award $974,863 Recaptured Funding $ 146,240HOME Investment Partnership Program Income $ 0 Housing Opportunities for Persons With AIDS HUD Award $840,196 Page | 9 2 0 3 5 1 Grant Source Amount (HOPWA) Recaptured Funding $ 69,930 Community Development and Block Grant (CDBG) Total CDBG Funding Requests: $7,006,237 (150% of available) Total Available for Allocation: $4,670,517 CDBG funds focus on community development with an emphasis on physical improvements. The Community Development & Capital Improvement Programs Advisory Board (CDCIP) submits funding recommendations for this grant. CDBG funds are allocated to organizations in four categories: - City Administration (limited to 20% of the annual grant award) - Housing - Neighborhood Improvements: transportation and economic development infrastructure - Public Services (limited to 15% of the annual grant award) Public Services This category is directed to services for individuals in need and not necessarily to physical improvements. This is typically the most competitive category. Funding is awarded to non-profits and governmental entities that provide programming to meet the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan’s goals. This category is limited to 15% of the annual CDBG award. The Mayor has recommended funding requests that add up to the 15% maximum. If the Council would like to allocate money to any application beyond the Mayor’s recommended funding in this category, then those funds must be shifted from another public services application. Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) Total ESG Funding Requests: $1,275,827 (391% of available) Total Available for Allocation: $326,267 ESG funds focus on preventing homelessness and providing services to persons experiencing homelessness.

This will help the Administration ensure compliance with HUD regulations requiring submission of the 2022-2023 One-Year Action Plan (also referred to as the Annual Action Plan) by May 15, 2022. We also request the City Council: 1.Schedule the following required public hearings: a.March 1, 2022, Council Public Hearing to accept the Mayor’s grant recommendations and to hear comments from the public on the One-Year Action Plan. Lisa Shaffer (Feb 24, 2022 07:09 MST)02/24/2022 02/24/2022 b. March 22, 2022, HUD-Required Public Hearing to meet public comment requirements. 2. Schedule the following work sessions: a. March 8, 2022, first full briefing/funding discussion. b. March 22, 2022, follow-up briefing/funding discussion. c. April 5, 2022, if needed, follow-up briefing/funding discussion. 3. Schedule the formal adoption of the One-Year Action Plan: a. April 19, 2022, formal meeting: to potentially adopt the One-Year Action Plan as outlined in the attached resolution for CDBG, ESG, HOME, and HOPWA funds as provided through HUD. BUDGET IMPACT: No impact to City General Fund. Grant funds will be received from HUD for 2022-2023. BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: The City is an entitlement entity and eligible under Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 24, Part 91, et. al., to receive estimated 2022-2023 CDBG funds in the amount of $3,570,517, ESG funds in the amount of $299,267, HOME funds in the amount of $974,863, and HOPWA funds in the amount of $840,196 from HUD for the 2022-2023 program year. The City’s process for allocating these funds includes a competitive application process followed by a thorough review of applications by certain resident advisory boards. The resident advisory boards provide funding recommendations that are forwarded to the Mayor for consideration. The Mayor then provides funding recommendations that are forwarded along with the resident advisory board recommendations to the City Council. To receive and reallocate these funds to specific subrecipients, the City Council is required to adopt the One-Year Action Plan allocating HUD funds that principally benefit low- to-moderate income (LMI) residents. The One-Year Action Plan must align with the Salt Lake City 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan (“Consolidated Plan”) as adopted by the City Council and approved by HUD. The City Attorney’s Office reviewed the included resolution (Exhibit A: Resolution 2022-2023 Federal Grant Award and One-Year Action Plan) and approves it as to form. Please be aware that the entitlement award amounts contained herein are estimates based on the previous year’s allocations and most recent information from HUD. As of the date of this transmittal, the City has not received notification by HUD of the final award amounts. Due to the Federal Government operating under a Continuing Resolution (CR), and the timing of receiving the City’s awards notifications from HUD, the City may not have final award amounts prior to the Council’s formal meeting in April to adopt the One-Year Action Plan. In this case, the Administration will look for direction from the Council, regarding adjustments to final award amounts for any increases or decreases in HUD funding. The Housing Trust Fund Advisory Board (HTFAB) and the Community Development and Capital Improvement Programs (CD- CIP) Advisory Board have also provided recommendations for any increases or decreases in HUD funding. Housing Stability staff can provide guidance to the Council in making such determinations. In addition to the annual entitlement award amounts, the City will also reallocate CDBG funds in the amount of $1,100,000, ESG funds in the amount of $27,000, HOME funds in the amount of $146,240, and HOPWA funds in the amount of $69,930. The following table represents the estimated entitlement funding the City will receive for the 2022-2023 program year. Entitlement Funding Grant Amount Community Development Block Grant $ 3,570,517 Emergency Solutions Grant $ 299,267 HOME Investment Partnerships Program $ 974,863 Housing Opportunities for Persons With AIDS $ 840,196 Note: This table represents estimated 2022-2023 entitlement funding awards based on the grant award from the previous funding program year. 2022-2023 Entitlement Funding amounts will be updated once HUD issues notification of final funding awards. The following table represent the dollar amounts for funds that have been recaptured from previous program years and are available for reallocation for the 2022-2023 program year. These are funds that were positively identified as available for recapture, because of agreement expiration or project completion, at the end of the most recently closed HUD program year. Any recaptured funds retain the federal requirements, eligibility criteria and limitations of the original federal funding source. Also of note, the 20% Administrative and Planning cap and the 15% Public Services cap for CDBG are both hard tied to the HUD program year and do not carry forward. Therefore, any recaptured CDBG funding may not be allocated to administration or public services programs, rather they would only be available to use for the Housing and Neighborhood Improvements category as defined within the Consolidated Plan. Reallocated Funding Grant Amount Community Development Block Grant $ 1,100,000 Emergency Solutions Grant $ 27,000 HOME Investment Partnerships Program $ 146,240 Housing Opportunities for Persons With AIDS $ 69,930 The following table represent the estimated entitlement funding the City will receive for the 2022-2023 program year plus the funds that have been recaptured from previous program years and are available for reallocation for the 2022-2023 program year. The funding recommendations contained within Exhibit A are based on this amount of total funding availability. Total Funding Grant Amount Community Development Block Grant $ 4,670,517 Emergency Solutions Grant $ 326,267 HOME Investment Partnership Program $ 1,121,103 Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS $ 910,126 Note: 2022-2023 Entitlement Funding amounts will be updated once HUD issues notification of final funding awards. The Community Development and Capital Improvement Program (CDCIP) Advisory Board and the Housing Trust Fund Advisory Board (HTFAB) reviewed applications for CDBG and ESG, and HOME and HOPWA respectively. After thorough review and scoring each board made funding recommendations. The boards use an estimated amount of funding for each grant, based upon the grant award from the prior federal program year. The boards also included recommendations on projects that should receive increases or decreases of funding if the final allocation amounts would be different than amounts estimated at the time of the board meetings. The boards’ recommendations were forwarded to the Mayor for review and consideration. The 2022-2023 One-Year Action Plan Funding Recommendations Log (attached to Exhibit A) for all grants will be attached to the resolution after the City Council has made final funding decisions. PUBLIC PROCESS: From July 2021 to January 2022, Housing Stability staff conducted a survey to engage members of the public and receive input on how federal funding could be prioritized. In the past Housing Stability staff would have attended over a dozen in-person community events. Due to COVID-19 precautions, Housing Stability staff worked with the City’s Civic Engagement team and pivoted to an online community engagement survey, reaching out electronically to Salt Lake City’s resident, Recognized Community Organizations, and over 100 non-profits and community partners. The survey was offered in English and Spanish. Additionally, to hear from vulnerable populations without access to computers, paper versions of the survey were safely collected at the Homeless Resources Centers, two adult Detox locations, the Homeless Youth Resource Center, the Sorensen Community Center, and two local food banks, as well as a few outdoor community events. A total of 501 responses were received. The public was asked to give input on their top priorities of the goals identified in the Consolidated Plan. Priority ranking for each goal of the Consolidated Plan were provided, as follows: • Housing – Build new affordable housing and homeownership for low-income populations. • Transportation – Provide transit passes to low-income populations. • Build Community Resiliency – Early childhood education. • Homeless Services – Homeless Resources Centers operations and emergency shelter. • Behavioral Health – Treatment, counseling, and case management for behavioral health. The CDCIP and HTFAB Boards considered these priorities and how they align with the goals of the Consolidated Plan when identifying projects to be recommended for the 2022-2023 program year. A General Needs Hearing was held on November 10, 2021, as a required HUD forum to allow the public an opportunity to voice general ideas or concerns regarding community needs. This hearing is an opportunity for the CDCIP and HTFAB boards to consider the public’s ideas and how these ideas align with the goals of the Consolidated Plan. The ideas presented during a General Needs Hearing are typically discussed during subsequent board meetings to help identify which funding requests would be recommended by the boards. At the General Needs Hearing held on November 10, 2021, a total of seven (7) public comments were received with all of them relating to the need for additional and more comprehensive homeless services. The HOME and HOPWA applications were reviewed during a public meeting by the HTFAB on November 18, 2021, December 1, 2021, and February 2, 2022. The CDBG and ESG applications were reviewed during eight (8) public meetings by the CDCIP board between November 15, 2021, and January 24, 2022. On February 9, 2022, CAN and Housing Stability leadership met with Mayor Mendenhall to review the CDCIP and HTFAB recommendations. The Mayor accepted the recommendations from the CDCIP and HTFAB boards. Council is scheduled to hold a Public Hearing on March 1, 2022, to hear the Mayor’s funding recommendations and begin their funding allocation process. It is proposed that the Council hold a HUD required Public Hearing on March 22, 2022, to receive feedback from the general public, including applicants, regarding HUD funding for the 2022-2023 program year.

Risk Prepared By: Tamra Turpin For Questions Please Include: Tamra Turpin, Sandee Moore, Katherine Lewis, Aaron Bentley (1) The cost of excess liability insurance increased significantly for FY22 – more than a 65% increase in premium cost over the previous policy period. The bulk of this is driven by recent claim development. Last year’s premium was $267,278. The renewal premium cost is $443,112.54. We had projected a 15% increase and the actual cost is more than we could cover with our allocated budget. The City’s insurance brokers were able to arrange for us to pay the premium in two installments with the second half ($221,556.27) being due by 1/1/2022 to give us time to request a budget amendment. (2) The cost of cyber liability insurance also increased significantly for FY22 -- 320%. Last year’s premium was $45,490. The renewal premium cost is $190,887.60. Although we had projected an increase, the actual cost is far more than we could have anticipated. There are a number of reasons for this; particularly the fact that public agencies are becoming frequent targets, and the number and cost of claim payouts have increased exponentially. After conferring with the City's Chief Information Officer and City Attorney, it was agreed that allowing the City's cyber coverage to lapse would be too risky. The City’s insurance brokers were able to arrange a 45-day extension and then a 90-day premium payment deferral in order to get a budget amendment in place. The cost will be allocated to all funds as shown in the amendment. A-2: Department of Air Quality Lawnmower Exchange GF $250,000.00 Department: Sustainability Prepared By: Gregg Evans For Questions Please Include: Debbie Lyons, Sophia Nicholas, Gregg Evans The Utah Department of Air Quality (UDAQ) administers an annual gas-powered lawnmower and yard equipment exchange in order to reduce criteria pollutants in the areas of the Wasatch Front that are in non-attainment with the Clean Air Act air quality standards. Because the Wasatch Front is on track for attainment of wintertime PM2.5, UDAQ is not running a snowblower exchange this year. Instead, they are focusing on programs to reduce summertime ozone pollution, for which the Wasatch Front is out of attainment. UDAQ has $900,000 set aside to continue the exchanges for the foreseeable future. The size of the lawnmower exchange varies each year depending on the size of financial contributions from partners. Typically, UDAQ contributes between $300,000 and $400,000 per exchange. Salt Lake City FY 2021-22 Budget Amendment #4 Initiative Number/Name Fund Amount 2 The Sustainability Department is proposing a budget amendment of $250,000 General Funds to partner with UDA Q in FY22 on a gas-powered lawnmower exchange. This would facilitate exchanges for approximately 1,000 Salt Lake City residents Salt Lake City participated in 2021, spending nearly $161,000 which helped 582 residents participate. In total, 509 gas - powered mowers were exchanged (the remaining participants bought new mowers without exchanging an old one). This is the equivalent of removing 4.02 tons of pollution from the airshed each year. A majority of residents also opted to participate in our Call 2 Haul program to have their gas mower picked up curbside and recycled by Salt Lake City Waste and Recycling. The Administration proposes continuing this program in FY 22 (spring 2022). The goal will be to increase participation from 582 to 1,000 with a continued focus on our Westside neighborhoods. The Administration anticipates greater awareness and uptake of the program in the comin g year due to increased familiarity with the program, and plans to work with UDAQ on earlier, targeted outreach given the lessons learned from spring 2021. UDAQ anticipates the program logistics will change in FY 22 to facilitate easier participation and lower administrative burden. In particular, they are hoping to develop a phone app that participants will use to sign up and upload any required receipts. UDAQ is also envisioning the next program will offer a promotional discount code to be used towar d the purchase of electric lawn equipment and an app would also help separate Salt Lake City residents from other participating Wasatch Front residents. This will reduce confusion as to who is eligible for curbside pickup of their old mowers. We also hope the app will help us keep the exchange open for longer for Salt Lake City residents instead of opening, closing it, and opening i t again while UDAQ verifies addresses. While the exact amount of the discounts have yet to be determined, the Sustainability D epartment proposes using $250,000 in City General Funds to facilitate approximately 1,000 gas-powered mower exchanges. This budget amendment would also fund temporary staffing expenses to assist with running curbside collection of old mowers through Call 2 Haul. This benefit was very popular last year and helped make this program more equitable to those who might not have the ability to haul their own mower to a metal recycler. A-3: COVID Safe Building Improvements GF $844,000.00 IMS $131,000.00 Department: Public Services Prepared By: Dawn Valente For Questions Please Include: Lorna Vogt, Dawn Valente At the beginning of the year, and in anticipation of the reopening of the City and County Building, the Public Services Department identified a series of critical improvements to minimize the spread of diseases such as COVID -19. Following recommendations from hired consultants (see attached COVID annex) as well as health officials, changes include a multi - level approach to keeping building occupants safe, from controlled access through a check-in desk and appointment management software, to improved indoor air quality. The Department has been informed previously that the following list of items are likely eligible to be covered under ARPA: * Needlepoint Devices. When installed in the air handling system of a building, indoor air quality improves reducing airborne contaminants $250,000 (CCB) * Open and Public Meeting Rooms: Redesign public meeting rooms for spacing and cleaning considerations. This i ncludes replacing chairs for disinfecting purposes. $60,000 * Lobby Appointment management software to be installed at the entrance to the building, allowing for IDing and occupancy control. $5,000 * Entrance furniture. Desk and chairs to be installed at the entrance to the building, creating a check-in area $6,000 * Noticing Board outside of the City & County and Plaza 349 Buildings: Due to State noticing adjustments and the building access being limited, public notices are not addressing the community in the various accessible options (walking public, visitors to the building, etc.). Hybrid meetings and other noticing requirements are required to be completed and are currently being posted on the doors that are frequently accessed. $10,000 * Staffing Entrance. Customer service-oriented staff, under seasonal status, to welcome and direct visitors to the building. $17,000 Salt Lake City FY 2021-22 Budget Amendment #4 Initiative Number/Name Fund Amount 3 * Enhanced Janitorial. Adjusting the cleaning schedule of all areas of the building from 3 to 5 days a week. (9 months) $165,000 * Cubicle Pieces. To accommodate office reconfigurations. $100,000 * COVID Supplies/PPE. These supplies are being made available throughout buildings, including facemasks, hand sanitizer and disposable gloves. $100,000 * Teleconference and Recording Meeting Equipment. Required to accommodate virtual and hybrid public meetings, and training/orientation including those for Mayor's Board & Commissions, and City Council. $131,000 $844,000 TOTAL A-4: Pulled Prior to Submission A-5: Community Health Access Team Vehicles GF $150,000.00 Fleet $150,000.00 Department: Fire/Public Services Prepared By: John Vuyk For Questions Please Include: Karl Lieb, Chris Milne, Clint Rasmussen, Lorna Vogt, Nancy Bean, Dawn Valente Community Health Access Team, CHAT (formerly known as the Community Healthcare Paramedic Team) was initially established in 2013, comprised of one SLCFD paramedic. It quickly grew to include a SLCFD Captain and then another paramedic. The two Paramedics responded as a team to patients that were identified by fire EMS crews as: (1) not meeting the criteria for emergency service, or (2) not benefitting from the scope of training provided to fire department Paramedics and EMTs. The CHAT initiative proposes adding two (2) social workers to increase the team’s scope and the ability of the team to address the overall needs of their patients particularly pertaining to the challenges of mental health and homelessness. Currently, the Community Heath team operates with one vehicle. The addition of two social workers will create the need for two vehicles as two teams will be operating simultaneously. This budget amendment will allow the fire department to replace the current vehicle, a larger inefficient Chevy Tahoe with a fuel-efficient hybrid Ford Explorer. Additionally, a second vehicle of the same kind will be purchased for the additional team. The third purchased fuel -efficient hybrid Ford Explorer will replace an additional Chevy Tahoe in the Medical Division which will be used to support the CHAT initiative immediately and provide for the anticipated rapid expansion of the CHAT program. The three hybrid Ford Explorers will need to be outfitted with graphics, radios, tablets, etc. The $50,000 cost pe r vehicle is the fully loaded cost.

The recommended survey project includes data collection, analysis, and the development and presentation of a report with recommendations for the City’s Department of Human Resources, Citizens Compensation Advisory Committee (CCAC), and elected officials to consider. The survey will be conducted with a primary focus on cash compensation and rely Salt Lake City FY 2021-22 Budget Amendment #4 Initiative Number/Name Fund Amount 4 on the same caliber and methodology as surveys previously completed for the City's public safety and AFSCME-covered employee groups (as completed by Mercer in early 2019 and 2020, respectively). A-7: Sugar House SAA GF $60,000.00 Department: Economic Development Prepared By: Ben Kolendar For Questions Please Include: Ben Kolendar The City received a request from the Sugar House Community Council regarding the creation of an economic promotion special assessment area (SAA) for the Sugar House for roughly west/east boundaries of 700 East to 1300 East and north/south of Hollywood Avenue (possibly extending north on 1100 East to Ramona Avenue to include supporters in that area) to I-80.

This vulnerable population also attracts an increase in people who prey upon them and impact other park users with drug use, drug sales, and other crime. Public Lands employees have found themselves in the middle of this extremely complex community crisis, without training or resources to work in this new environment. Public Lands relies on the SLCPD to enforce camping and anti-loitering ordinances, to assist in clearing areas so staff can complete their duties, and to respond to calls for public safety in parks. However, SLCPD has city-wide responsibilities and is not always available for non-urgent park safety needs. SLC Public Lands is proposing a Park Ranger program to maximize public safety, protect park resources, and to provide services and information to park visitors. Park rangers may serve as law enforcement officers, environmental experts, interpreter of cultural and historical points of interest or a combination of the three. This proposal is intended to meet the following program success indicators:  Making people feel welcome and safe in our parks  Deterring inappropriate activity  Gaining voluntary compliance of park codes and rules  Reducing the number of annual vandalism incidents  Reducing annual costs to repair/replace damaged landscape & infrastructure The Mayor is proposing to allocate $5.1 million toward a Public Lands Park Ranger program. Funding for the program will be partially supported through the use of eligible salary restoration dollars. The program will help ensure park safety, including homeless outreach in the parks. The Program will include the addition of nineteen employees in the Public Lands Department. The positions are two Park Ranger Sergeants, sixteen Park Ranger Officers and one support person. The projected annual cost for personnel including uniforms, training and operational costs is $2,350,983. The amendment proposes to add these positions on January 1 at a cost of $1,175,491 for the current fiscal year. The proposed funding will also support one-time costs to implement the program of $401,800, including the purchase of three trucks and two light response vehicles. Funding for personnel and ongoing costs will be transferred to the General Fund while funding for the vehicles will be transferred to Fleet. This funding will be established through a capture of funding for salary restoration from the current fiscal year.

The CCP prioritizes outreach to individuals experiencing homelessness while also emphasizing the need to keep public spaces safe, clean, and accessible to all. The first phase of the CCP was a 12-week enhanced neighborhood cleaning program based on neighborhood hot spots reported in CitySourced via the SLC Mobile app. The second phase, which has transitioned into an ongoing partnership with Salt Lake County and over a dozen service providers, focused on intensive encampment outreach of varying lengths of time depending on the size and other characteristics of camps. After approximately 9 months of this sec ond phase, the City and our partners have been in a maintenance stage, during which the City has fewer large encampments but is still attempting to handle the nearly 6,000 CitySourced reports over this past year. This figure is triple the number of complai nts reported in the app in years past. Salt Lake City FY 2021-22 Budget Amendment #4 Initiative Number/Name Fund Amount 7 To more effectively and rapidly address these complaints from residents and businesses, the Mayor is proposing the creation of a Rapid Intervention Team coordinated through HEART. The HEART coordinator (via a positi on that was funded by the Council in the FY23 budget) will ensure that complaints are responded to with the appropriate level of outreach through the SLCPD’s CCC or VOA, SLCPD officers to standby if necessary, as well as a City cleaning team working with Advantage Services. By having a dedicated team to respond, Public Services and Waste & Recycling employees will not be pulled away from their regular duties, as they are currently when the County Health Department requires camp abatement support. The Public Services and Waste and Recycling employees will also be available to respond to illegal dumping complaints throughout the City. The program will add three FTE’s for the Rapid Intervention Team. These employees will be covered in part the first year.

E-9: ARPA Funding – Westside Community Initiative Misc Grants $4,000,000.00 Department: Mayor’s Office Prepared By: John Vuyk For Questions Please Include: Rachel Otto, Lisa Shaffer, Ben Kolendar, Danny Walz, Mary Beth Thompson, John Vuyk As a function of utilizing the tax differential collected by the Inland Port Authority and allocated to the RDA for affordabl e housing, the RDA Board has endorsed the creation of an Urban Land Fund in order to develop and secure perpetual housing affordability on the City’s west side. Under the direction of the RDA, the fund would look to maximize opportunities for affordability in both rental housing and home ownership as well as limited commercial uses Salt Lake City FY 2021-22 Budget Amendment #4 Initiative Number/Name Fund Amount 13 within mixed use developments. RDA staff is currently working on potential options for the structure of the land fund. This process includes the evaluation of opportunities for community wealth building and cooperative housing models within a perpetual housing fund. The allocation of this funding source is i ntended to offset the impacts on the west side from the Inland Port development. The opportunity of this program is to strengthen the community by providing a mechanism to help reverse the historical impacts of disinvestment and inequality on the residents in this area of the City. Mayor Mendenhall proposes the allocation of $4 million in seed funds for implementing the policy proposals that emerge from the current study, including the following goals:  Develop Land with a Long-Term Approach to Continuously Serve a Community-Defined Purpose WCI will take a long-term approach to land development and community building so that the RDA may retain the fee ownership to and a reversionary interest in the property. By ground leasing to development partners, the RD A will provide an opportunity to receive revenue generation to serve other public benefits.  Create Opportunities for Revenue Generation while Balancing the Implementation of Public Benefits WCI will strive to balance the development of property with the in corporation of public benefits. Benefits such as affordable housing and below-market commercial space which generate limited or no cash flow would potentially be subsidized with land uses that generate positive cash flow. Revenue generated by projects and received by the RDA will then be reinvested back into the WCI with the goal of furthering shared prosperity.  Assist the Westside in Mitigating Gentrification and Displacement WCI will acquire land with the goal of holding it for the community in perpetuity, thereby removing land from the speculative market so that it serves low and moderate-income residents in perpetuity. Housing will remain affordable even as neighborhood change occurs and gentrification pressures mount, which protects families f rom displacement.  Give Lower Income Households the Opportunity to Build Wealth Through Ownership WCI will create opportunities for families to buy homes at affordable prices by focusing on a shared -equity model. A shared equity model offers an alternative form of ownership that provides benefits traditional markets cannot, such as long-term housing affordability and the ability for low and moderate -income families to build equity. When families decide to sell, they will receive their portion of the appreciation but the RDA remains as the land owner and is in the position to continue to sell the home at a below-market price, making it affordable to another family of limited means. Keeping the home affordable, from family to family, will benefit future generations by acting as a steppingstone for low-income families to go from renting to building wealth.  Engage Community Members in Development Decisions The RDA will involve the community in the planning and goals regarding long term land use and housing development. This can translate into residents actively involved in creating positive change within their communities and projects that reflect the value of its residents. The result will be projects that incorporate a shared mission and vision with the community.  Leverage Resources for Other Neighborhood Development Purposes Revenues acquired through ground leases or partnerships could contribute to other purposes, including subsidizing deeply affordable housing, below-market commercial space, infrastructure, public art, etc.  Collaborate with Other Partners to Broaden the Pool of Funding and Expertise The RDA would actively work to acquire outside funding sources and professional resources by bringing together financial institutions, the private sector, nonprofits, public officials, other government agencies, researchers, and practitioners to collaborate on community and economic development activities.  Carry Out Efforts with a “Collective Impact” Approach The RDA will continuously evaluate how projects work together to address common goals through a “collective impact” approach that produces measurable results. These measurable results will be tracked and reported on to promote data-driven and outcome-based decisions.

These departments will scope the challenge facing residents and businesses, and launch two solicitations seeking proposals on the COVID -related problem that the applicant desires to address under the following broad categories: o CAN grants -- Nonprofit support (to be further refined by CAN): This could include programs like retraining of displaced workers, nonprofit legal services for eviction assistance, expanded educational opportunities, resources to mitigate the digital divide, access to healthcare for underserved populations, mental health assistance, etc. o DED grants -- Business assistance (to be further refined by DED): This could include grants for businesses not included in other government programs during the pandemic, especially small and local businesses, and support for artist/artisan businesses.

UnAllocated Budget Amount ERIN MENDENHALL Mayor OFFICE OF THE MAYOR P.O. BOX 145474 451 SOUTH STATE STREET, ROOM 306 SALT LAKE CITY, UT 84114-5474 WWW.SLCMAYOR.COM TEL 801-535-7704 February 8, 2022 Dear City Council Chair Dugan, This letter is to follow up on the City Council discussions from December 2021, within Budget amendment #4, regarding Mayor Mendenhall’s request of $1 million in American Rescue Act funding be allocated to emergency homeless overflow, located at North Temple and Redwood Road, this winter. Subsequently, the City Council allocated $400,000 of those funds to pay for overtime police officers shifts for safety and security needs in that neighborhood. Shelter the Homeless requested, from the city, the remaining $600,000 to cover most of their current operations funding gap (they report the total gap is: $602,912). The City Council did not allocate those funds at that time but held them for further evaluation and discussion. The administration has worked with The State Office of Homelessness regarding their funding options for overflow operations. State office staff have recommended that the State Homelessness Council fund $301,456 from their state funds to cover a portion of the needed operations funds. The administration requests that the City Council appropriate $301,456 from remaining American Rescue Act funds to match the state funds to fulfill the overflow operations request. This would leave just under $300,000 remaining from the Rescue Act funds for use by the City Council at their discretion.

The intent of this facility is to allow access to indoor beds through this winter to adults in the county experiencing homelessness. Salt Lake City has agreed to allow this use. However, the city needs support to ensure the safety and security of those accessing shelter, as well as for the surrounding neighborhood. I understand that all of our departments are experiencing staffing shortages. SLCPD is not immune to this reality as well. Hosting this county-wide service requires all of us to share some level of responsibility for its support to allow all to benefit from the services. Below is a proposed plan and a request of each of you, as our partner agencies, to assist in making this winter service available as soon as possible.  SLCPD will contribute four officers and a supervisor. The city would be responsible for coordinating the schedule.  Our ask is that at least three other agencies, or a combination of agencies, contribute four officers (on overtime) to fill the four, five-hour shifts each day.  The hourly rate is $80 with $15 going back to the agency for vehicle, fuel, and maintenance reimbursement.  The remaining $65 is paid in overtime to the officer.  Shifts will be scheduled starting as soon as the program can open in December and will last until the end of the winter program in April. As this is both a county and state involved program, Unified PD and the State Department of Public Safety have been contacted and invited to provide support as well. Please review this draft and let me know how your department will be able to contribute to this multi- jurisdictional approach. I will be reaching out to all of you by phone in the very near future to have additional conversations. 2 Thank you, Mike MIKE BROWN Chief of Police Salt Lake City Police Department 801.799.3801 | mike.brown@slcgov.com www.slcpd.com | @slcpdPAGE 1 UTAH EMERGENCY WINTER HOUSING SHELTER dATE RANGE FOR OPERATION: DECEMBER 15, 2021 - APRIL 15, 2022 (120 d AYS) www.slcpd.com | @slcpd LAW ENFORCEMENT BUDGET AND STAFFING 4 OFFICERS A DAY 5 HOUR SHIFTS $80 AN HOUR $15 goes to the agency as a vehicle, fuel, maintenance reimbursement. $65 goes to the officer as overtime pay. = $1600 DAILY RATE X 120 DAYS (Estimated shelter operating period.) = $192,000 SHIFT 1 SHIFT 3 SHIFT 4 SHIFT 2 AGENCY AGENCY AGENCY SLCPD A B C SLCPD WILL PROVIDE 1 SUPERVISOR PER DAY SUPERVISOR 5 HOUR SHIFTS = $400 DAILY RATE X 120 DAYS = $48,000 THE TOTAL OVERTIME COST FOR THE SAFETY PLAN IS $816,000.

Staff note: The $4 million from American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding for the program is a separate vote in Budget Amendment #4 which is also scheduled for April 19. MOTION 2 – NOT ADOPT I move that the Council proceed to the next agenda item. CITY COUNCIL OF SALT LAKE CITY 451 SOUTH STATE STREET, ROOM 304 P.O. BOX 145476, SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH 84114-5476 SLCCOUNCIL.COM TEL 801-535-7600 FAX 801-535-7651 COUNCIL STAFF REPORT CITY COUNCIL of SALT LAKE CITY tinyurl.com/SLCFY22Budget TO:City Council Members FROM: Ben Luedtke Budget & Policy Analyst DATE:April 5, 2022 RE: Ordinance Amendment to Create Community Recovery Committee for the Proposed American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Community Grants Program ISSUE AT-A-GLANCE In October 2021, as part of Budget Amendment #4, the Administration proposed $4 million for new one-time community grants split into two separate offerings: $2 million for business assistance managed by the Economic Development Department (EDD) and $2 million for nonprofit assistance managed by the Community and Neighborhoods (CAN) Department. The Administration transmitted a proposed ordinance amendment that makes several changes to the original proposal last year. The amendment would create a Community Recovery Committee to review funding applications, recommend to the Council funding awards over $50,000 and have delegated authority from the Council to approve funding awards up to $50,000. Budget Amendment #4 and FY2023 Annual Budget The Council would need to adopt the ordinance amendment to create the Committee and act in Budget Amendment #4 to appropriate the $4 million for the Community Grants Program. It’s important to note that of the City’s $85,411,572 ARPA funds, the Council has approved budgets for $33,127,176 or 39% of the total. Most of the budgets used one-time ARPA funds for ongoing costs (both new and existing programs and employees). The upcoming FY2023 annual budget will likely need significant ARPA funding, new revenues, and / or budget reductions to be balanced. Eligibility and Department Workloads The grants must be used for eligible activities under the U.S. Treasury’s final ARPA guidance and meet Federal reporting, compliance, and spending deadlines. Meeting these requirements would create a significant workload for the City’s Finance Department and Attorney’s Office. For example, some potential categories are narrowly eligible only for evidence-based programs and practices which must have published research supporting interventions producing desired outcomes. Grant Categories Specific categories are identified for the nonprofit assistance grants which are: “offering services to retrain displaced workers; providing legal or other assistance for evictions or rent relief; expanding educational opportunities; deploying resources to mitigate the digital divide; supporting parents or children affected by COVID-19 including childcare or after school programs; and providing access to healthcare services including mental health support.” (2.20.040(A)) Note nonprofits may submit applications for programs not listed above. No specific categories are identified for the business assistance grants. These grants would be focused on small and local businesses and support for artists and artisan businesses. A business must first demonstrate an Project Timeline: 1st Briefing: April 5, 2022 2nd Briefing: April 12, 2022 (if needed) Potential Action: April 19, 2022 Note: the Council would also need to act in a budget opening to release the $4 million Page | 2 economic and/or operational hardship caused by the pandemic, and then propose an ARPA eligible use for the grant funds. New Time-limited Official City Board: Community Recovery Committee The Committee would be subject to the Open and Public Meetings Act and other requirements of official City boards. One exception is allowing members of existing City boards to also serve on this new Committee. There would be four members on the Committee selected from the Human Rights Commission, Business Advisory Board, Racial Equity in Policing Commission, and the Economic Development Loan Fund Committee. The Mayor would appoint Committee members subject to the advice and consent of the Council. Mayor’s Office staff would provide support for the Committee’s activities. Section Four of the ordinance identifies a sunset for the Committee once all the ARPA program funds are expended or the deadline has passed. Timeline The two departments report a request for proposals (RFP) would be issued with a one-month window for applicants to submit proposals. Then the committee would score and rank applications over two weeks and recommending funding to the Council for awards over $50,000 and approve awards up to $50,000. Funding would begin to be distributed the following month. ARPA funds must be obligated by the end of calendar year 2024 and must be fully spent by the end of calendar year 2026. The Community Grants Program sets an earlier fully spent deadline of December 31, 2024 to provide public benefits at a faster pace. POLICY QUESTIONS 1.Delegation of Authority for Grants up to $50,000 – The Council may wish to discuss whether to delegate authority to the Community Recovery Committee for approving grants up to $50,000. Hypothetically, the Committee could approve 80 grants at $50,000 and no applications would go to the Council for review and approval. The Council could require notification from the Committee for all grants up to $50,000 that they approve. 2.Cap on Grants Under $50,000 – The Council could discuss placing a maximum cap on the total dollar amount (such as $1 million) that the Committee could approve for individual grants up to $50,000. This approach would ensure some grants return to the Council for review and approval. 3.Funding Split: $2 Million for Business Assistance and $2 Million for Nonprofits – The Council may wish to discuss whether to support the proposed split of the $4 million or split the funding into different amounts. 4.Minimum Grant Amount – The Council may wish to discuss with the Administration identifying a minimum funding award for individual grants like the $30,000 minimum for annual HUD grants and $50,000 for CIP. Setting a minimum amount is intended to balance the burden of administering the grants with creation of public benefits. 5.One or Two Sets of Funding Recommendations – The Council may wish to ask if the Administration intends to provide one or two sets of funding recommendations for grants over $50,000. As part of the annual HUD grants and CIP process, the Council receives two sets of funding recommendations: one from the advisory board and another from the Mayor. 6.Equity Considerations – The Council may wish to discuss whether funding should have further equity considerations built-in to the grant categories and scoring. For example, during the pandemic in context of other grant programs Council Members discussed: businesses in and nonprofits serving the Westside, women-owned and/or minority-owned businesses, nonprofits serving low-income residents, addressing root causes of homelessness like domestic violence, and food insecurity. 7.Applicant Notification and Assistance – The Council may wish to ask the Administration what community assistance resources will be available for interested organizations to fill out applications? For example, where will in-person computers be publicly accessible, in what languages will the applications and instructions be available, who is the single-point of contact for each of the two grant programs, how will potential applicants learn about the opportunity, etc. Some local businesses expressed concern about earlier funding opportunities that they were not able to access the expedited process due to language or technology barriers, both from the notification of fund availability and application processes. Page | 3 8.Priority to Organizations that haven’t yet Received Financial Assistance from the City – The Council may wish to ask the Administration to what extent the Community Grant Program would prioritize businesses and nonprofits that haven’t already received financial assistance from the City during the pandemic. Some of the City’s earlier pandemic response efforts included small business emergency loan program, RDA tenant rent waivers, directing some of the City’s one-time Federal funds directly to non-profits and service providers and supplemental one-time HUD grants, among others. 9.Even Number of Committee Members – The Council may wish to ask the Administration why the Community Recovery Committee is proposed to have an even number of members (four) instead of an odd number to avoid tie votes which is a common practice. The Council may also wish to discuss whether additional members should be included from other City boards.

This transmittal addresses the Community Grant program. By way of background, the goal of the Community Grant program as proposed is to provide Rescue Plan funding directly to community members, community organizations, and/or small businesses who have suffered economic or operational hardship due to COVID-19. The Administration has proposed that this grant pool include $4 million split into two categories, with half of the allocation going to Economic Development and half to Community and Neighborhoods to administer. The CAN grants would focus on support to nonprofits for activities such as: retraining displaced workers, legal services to prevent evictions, expanded educational opportunities for low-income residents, resources to mitigate the digital divide, and access to physical and mental healthcare for vulnerable and/or underserved populations. The DED grants would focus on business assistance, including grants for businesses not included in other government programs during the pandemic, especially small and local businesses, and support for artist/artisan businesses. Lisa Shaffer (Mar 10, 2022 12:08 MST)03/10/2022 03/10/2022 ERIN MENDENHALL Mayor OFFICE OF THE MAYOR P.O. BOX 145474 451 SOUTH STATE STREET, ROOM 306 SALT LAKE CITY, UT 84114-5474 WWW.SLCMAYOR.COM TEL 801-535-7704 After consultation with City Council staff, the Administration proposes the formation of the Community Recovery Committee (“CRC”). The CRC will be a new City board, codified in City Code, and will be subject to the Open and Public Meetings Act and all transparency requirements for City boards and commissions. However, the Adminisration thinks it is valuable to leverage the existing expertise of City board members for the CRC. For that reason, the Administration is proposing an exception to the City Code requirement that individuals may only serve on one City board. The Administration proposes that the CRC would comprise members from already-existing City boards and commissions including the Human Rights Commission, the Business Advisory Board, the Commission on Racial Equity in Policing, and the Economic Development Loan Fund Committee. The members of the CRC would be appointed by the Mayor with the consent of the City Council. Under the proposed ordinance, the Administration will develop the grant program and solicit applications pursuant to the goals and objectives identified above.

Total expenditures coming from Fund Balance are $843,298. The Council may wish to note that the Administration is proposing to add one ongoing IMS FTE using Fund Balance initially; although actual costs will be allocated proportionally across all funds based on usage. If all the items are adopted as proposed, then Fund Balance would be $45,405,201 above the 13% minimum target established by the Council in FY2020. The increase is a result of higher-than-expected revenues and unspent funds dropping to Fund Balance at the end of FY2021 as confirmed by the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR). The Finance Department will be available at the briefing to provide a more detailed revenues update as summarized in the table later in this report. Inflation Impacts for Upcoming FY2023 Annual Budget Although there are positive revenue and fund balance reports, staff wanted to mention that there will likely be several inflationary impacts that may offset that positive news. Some departments have mentioned they expect significant cost increases for existing services and contract renewals as part of the upcoming FY2023 annual budget. In addition, the CIP Cost Overrun Account is less able to offset project cost increases in response to pandemic- related construction supplies inflation so either project scopes are reduced, or additional funding may be needed. The FY2022 annual budget included significant use of one-time funding for ongoing expenses which will need to have ongoing revenue identified in future fiscal years to continue those programs, services, and FTEs. Project Timeline: Set Date: April 19, 2022 1st Briefing: April 19, 2022 2nd Briefing: May 3, 2022 (if needed) Public Hearing: May 3, 2022 Potential Action: May 17, 2022 Page | 2 Revenue for FY2022 Budget Adjustments The following chart shows a current projection of General Fund revenue for Fiscal Year 2022. The Finance Department will be available at the briefing to review individual revenue line-item changes. According to the Administration, revenues for Fiscal Year 2021 were better than expected, while projections for Fiscal Year 2022 continue to trend above budget. The City is forecasting increases in most categories. Sales tax for the first quarter was well above budget and the prior year. However, franchise tax is lagging below budget from a decrease in water franchise ($704,000) and telephone ($218,000) franchise taxes. Licenses and Permits is coming in very strong. Licenses are above budget driven by increases in airport parking taxes and innkeepers tax. The City continues to see positive construction numbers leading permits to remain very strong with increases in plan check fees and building permits. Field reservations, land leases and building leases are leading to an increase in Charges, Fees, and Rentals. Miscellaneous revenue is seeing an increase in fuel reimbursement and other utility reimbursements. These are offset by special event revenue due to a continued decrease of in-person events in the City. Fines and Forfeitures are below budget from a decrease in moving violations and justice court fines. Interfund Reimbursement is below budget due to fire reimbursement from the airport which should show an increase next fiscal year. Page | 3 Fund Balance The Administration’s chart below shows the current General Fund Balance figures. If all items proposed in Budget Amendment Number 7 are adopted by the Council, then Fund Balance above the 13% minimum target is $45,405,201. Impact Fees Update The Administration provided a summary of impact fee tracking, details on refunding amounts and dates and lists of unfinished projects with impact fee funding. The information is current as of March 16, 2022. As a result, the City is on-track with impact fee budgeting to have no refunds during all FY2022 and FY2023. The Administration reports work is nearing completion to update the fire and parks sections of the impact fee plan. The transportation section was updated last year. Eligible projects for police impact fees are being identified. Type Unallocated Cash “Available to Spend”Next Refund Trigger Date Amount of Expiring Impact Fees Fire $808,770 More than a year away - Parks $13,256,676 More than a year away - Police $524,230 More than a year away - Transportation $7,147,853 More than a year away - Note: Encumbrances are an administrative function when impact fees are held under a contract Page | 4 Section A: New Items (note: to expedite the processing of this staff report, staff has included the Administration’s descriptions from the transmittal for some of these items) A-1: Open Space Acquisition – Public Lands ($700,000 from Parks Impact Fees) Public Lands is requesting an FY2022 budget amendment for $700,000 in unallocated parks impact fees funding to acquire property to be preserved as open space. Details on the specific property will be discussed in a Council closed session meeting. If the Council approves this funding request, then the available to spend balance of parks impact fees would be $12,556,676. A-2: Cottonwood Park Bridge Rebuild ($195,000 from Public Lands Department Vacancy Savings – Budget Neutral) The Public Lands Department is requesting a budget amendment of $195,000 to transfer general funds to POL CIP deferred maintenance fund. On November 6th, a windstorm upturned a large tree on top of the pedestrian bridge by Cottonwood Dog Park. This bridge is the main access for the dog park for residents over the Jordan River. A structural engineer has deemed that one side of the bridge can remain open to pedestrians to allow access. The engineer has also determined the bridge stability has been compromised to a level that it is unsafe for Parks vehicles to travel over this bridge, inhibiting maintenance vehicles from crossing. One of the two supporting braces on the bridge has been crushed and so the bridge can handle light pedestrian traffic but no vehicle use. The structural engineer determined that the cost of replacement of the brace is as much as the replacement of the bridge. Parks staff have barricaded the damaged side of the bridge to keep pedestrians away from the broken area for now. The bridge needs to be replaced as soon as possible as it is unclear how weather and use of the bridge may impact the bridge stability. Public Lands will continue to monitor the bridge safety until it can be replaced. Public Lands is proposing to use anticipated year-end savings as a source of funding for this bridge reconstruction. The funds would be transferred from Public Lands to the CIP Maintenance Fund. Absent this pedestrian bridge, residents living west of the river and parks maintenance crews would need to take a detour more than a third of a mile to the nearest alternative crossing over the Jordan River. A-3: UDOT Pass-through Funds for RAC Access Road ($1 million from UDOT) In 2021, Utah State Legislature Senate Bill 3 allocated funds for a road connecting Rose Park Lane to Redwood Road at 2600 North. This would be a new city-owned road. An agreement between UDOT and the City has been executed for the City to receive the funds and to manage the project design and the funds have already been transferred. The funding is limited to design, environmental work, and land acquisition. Additional funding would be needed for construction. Policy Questions: Total Project Cost – The Council may wish to ask the Administration what is the total project cost and if additional State funding is anticipated to be available for construction. Demand for the Road – The Council may wish to ask the Administration what level of demand exists currently for this new road and projected in the future. New Bridge over the Jordan River – The Council may wish to ask the Administration if the new road will require a new bridge over the Jordan River. A-4: WITHDRAWN A-5: Road Cost Center Adjustments for Class C Funds (Rescope $611,749 from 1300 East Reconstruction to 900 South Reconstruction) The Administration is requesting a rescope of Class C (gas tax) funding that remains after completion of the 1300 East reconstruction project. UDOT confirmed they have sufficient funding to cover close out costs. The funding would be rescoped for use on the 900 South corridor reconstruction project including improvements to the 9-Line Trail. The corridor project consolidates 10 individual projects across multiple departments over a few years. Page | 5 Policy Question: 9-Line Trail and 900 South Reconstruction Fully Funded – The Council may wish to ask the Administration are the multiple consolidated projects along 900 South fully funded? A-6: Leonardo Flood Damage Repair ($300,000 from Fund Balance) A rainstorm in July last year caused flooding in the sub-basement, basement and the two elevators. Sewage impacted both the Library and The Leonardo after the City’s main drain suffered a backup. The Administration reports the fundamental drainage problem has been addressed. Most of the funding estimated at $200,000 would be for cleaning, demolition, and disposal. The remaining $100,000 is for construction and replacements. Damaged areas that would be repaired include four restrooms, a mezzanine, several offices, the elevator shafts, and the cabs. Repairs also include lighting, plumbing, furniture, flooring and sump pumps. These repairs are the City’s responsibility under the primary lease between the City and The Leonardo. The areas to be repaired are part of the sub-lease to Ken Sanders Rare Books which the Council approved in December. A-7: IMS Cyber Security Portfolio Expansion ($713,680 from Fund Balance) Due to increased computer security risks, the Administration is requesting funding toward improved security software, licenses, and one new FTE for staffing needs. The breakdown includes: $500,000 for security software, called Security Incident and Event Management (SIEM) $75,000 for security assessments, such as penetration tests and vulnerability scans $65,800 for 1,000 additional licenses for laptop and PC devices $47,805 for device software $25,075 for one new staff person through the end of the fiscal year (this will make four cyber security engineer positions) Some of these items are initial expenses for the purchases, but the ongoing costs will include approximately $250,000 for the SEIM ongoing expenses, and $150,445 for the fully loaded cost (salary and benefits) for the new cyber security FTE position. These ongoing costs will be requested for inclusion in the annual budget. The initial budget comes from the General Fund to the IMS Fund but will also be allocated to the separate enterprise funds as usual. Section B: Grants for Existing Staff Resources Section (None) Section C: Grants for New Staff Resources Section (None) Section D: Housekeeping D-1: Youth & Family, Salt Lake County Central City Damages Payment ($37,892 from General Fund) Youth and Family has partnered with Salt Lake County at the Central City Recreation Center since 2003 to provide youth and teen programs. Salt Lake City has provided staffing and purchased program supplies and furnishings while Salt Lake County has provided the space to operate the programs. In March 2020 all in-person Youth and Family programming was halted. The County then contracted with the Salt Lake County Health Department to provide a space for homeless individuals who were Covid positive but did not need hospitalization. The health department moved out after a few months and the Center sat empty. Shortly thereafter, the Center was broken into and as a result sustained significant damage to the building and interior contents including a good portion of the equipment and furnishings that the City had paid for. This settlement payment of $37,892 is a reimbursement for the damaged equipment and supplies. D-2: WITHDRAWN Page | 6 D-3: UTA Sponsored Routes – Encumbrance Carryforward ($184,259 from General Fund) During encumbrance carry forwards Finance forgot to include the remaining encumbrance from FY 2021 in the amount of $184,259 to cover the contract cost. D-4: Wildland Deployment Reimbursements ($653,571 from General Fund) Personnel were deployed several times during the Summer of 2021 to assist in wildland firefighting. Beginning in July, the Fire Department sent 6 individuals to Montana. Another crew of 3 were then sent to California in August and fulfilled a 2-week deployment. A third crew of 6 were then sent to swap them out at the end of August and continued wildland duties into September. All costs associated with these deployments will be reimbursed to Salt Lake City and will have a matching revenue offset budget. The Administration is asking the City Council to approve this request to offset personnel costs that include overtime, benefits, and backfill. This proposal will make the Fire Department whole as well as the General Fund. Expenses Montana Wildfire - July 2021 $270,921 California Wildfire - August 2021 $126,693 California Wildfire - Aug/Sept 2021 $255,957 Total Expense Incurred $653,571 D-5: Fire Department – Other Reimbursements ($21,896 from General Fund) The Fire Department has provided several services in which it expects to receive a reimbursement including training backfill costs incurred on behalf of Utah Search and Rescue (USAR), Fire investigation overtime incurred on behalf of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF), and finally cost recovery efforts from negligent accidents/incidents. This will have a matching revenue offset budget. Utah Search and Rescue (USAR) Training/Backfill $2,936.37 Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) Reimbursement $10,777.24 Cost Recovery: Incline Terrace Apartments - requested Fire Watch $6,432.00 Swift Water Rescue & Recovery on 12/11/21 $1,749.98 Total Reimbursement $21,895.59 D-6: Remove Transfers for ARPA Funding ($1,508,000 from General Fund) To ensure compliance with federal reporting all grant related expenses will remain in the grant fund. In BA#4 the Administration proposed transferring ARPA funds to the General Fund and the Fleet Fund. This amendment is to remove those transfers in the General Fund. D-7: 700 South Corridor Preservation Funds Reimbursement ($611,500 from CIP Fund) In March 2021 an administrative transmittal was sent to Council to enter into an Interlocal agreement with Salt Lake County for reimbursement of land purchase for the 700 South construction project. Salt Lake City Council approved the Interlocal Agreement with Salt Lake County on April 20, 2021, to transfer the funds to the City. Funds of $611,500 have been received and are needed to complete the project. D-8: Transfer to Sustainability ($440,000 from General Fund) During the FY2022 budget the Administration and Council were briefed that a transfer of $440,000 would be made from the General Fund to the Sustainability Fund. This transfer was not included in the budget adoption; this amendment formalizes that transfer. D-9: Public Utilities Revenue Bonds ($874,000 – Sewer and $234,000 – Water) In order to adequately finance the construction of the new Water Reclamation Facility and to lock in a favorable interest rate, the Sewer and Water Utilities are planning to issue Revenue Bonds in June 2022 instead of two separate issuances in FY 2022 and FY 2023. D-10: Police Budget Reallocation for Workers Compensation ($199,500 from General Fund) The Police Department is requesting a change in budget to cover the costs associated with a workers compensation settlement. The Department will utilize attrition from vacant positions that have not been filled to fund the expense. No additional budget is being requested. Page | 7 D-11: Community Connection Center (CCC) Supplies and Tenant Improvements ($482,809 from Police Department Vacancy Savings – Budget Neutral) The Council approved $200,000 in the FY2022 annual budget that was intentionally flexible for lease payments, repairs and/or remodeling. The funding was later rescoped in a budget amendment to also include utility payments. A lease has been signed for a new CCC location and $167,000 is encumbered under the contract for rent and utility payments. The remaining $33,000 is being used for building improvements but is only enough to cover 10% of the $320,459 estimated cost. Improvements include security upgrades, wifi, network connectivity, electrical wiring as well as moving / relocation costs. The Administration is also requesting $90,000 to the Fleet Fund for two response vehicles, $52,800 for uniforms, radios, and other equipment, $52,550 is also requested to IMS for computers, mobile data terminals, licensing, trainings, and related equipment. All the funding would come out of the Police Department’s existing budget from vacancy savings. The CCC is currently operating out of the Public Safety Building which limits the ability to offer in-person services. The CCC new location was expected to open in spring or summer 2022, however, supply chain delays may push back the date to the fall. Policy Questions: Impact Fee Eligibility – The Council may wish to ask the Administration to evaluate this ongoing leasing cost for impact fee eligibility as part of updating the police section of the City’s Impact Fees Plan. This could be like the City’s crime lab lease being partially eligible under a prior version of the plan. CCC Staffing Update – The Council may wish to ask the Administration for an update on efforts to bring the CCC to full staffing of 19 social worker FTEs, and what additional resources could help address the program’s obstacles. Public Awareness of New Location – The Council may wish to discuss with the Administration how the public, clients and service providers will learn about the new CCC location. D-12: Central Business Improvement Area (CBIA) ($500,000 from Misc. Special Services) The Administration is requesting the approval of a budget to collect new CBIA-22 assessment and pay contractual obligations to the Downtown Alliance Inc. The current assessment area CBIA-19 expires April 21, 2022. The City Council re-established a special assessment CBIA-22 for a three-year period to continue collection of assessment funds and allow the continuation of marketing, promotion, advocacy and other benefits to the City and downtown property owners and businesses. The new assessment ordinance was adopted and bills to the property owners will go out in the beginning of April 2022. This item would create a revenue budget of $1,770,813 to accept the first-year payments from property owners which are due May 6 and create a $500,000 expenditure budget for Special Assessment Area (SAA) initial costs and the first payment to the contractor (Downtown Alliance). D-13: Police Department Mobile Surveillance Trailer Cameras ($383,160 from Police Department Vacancy Savings – Budget Neutral) See Attachment 1 for photos of trailer cameras The Administration is requesting approval to use vacancy savings to purchase eight additional mobile surveillance trailer cameras for the Police Department. There are currently six trailer cameras used by the Department. This funding would allow two trailer cameras to be placed in each Council District. The trailer cameras are placed on public property and occasionally on private property with the owner’s permission for case-specific needs. See Attachment 1 for images of trailer cameras the Department currently uses which are solar powered, the camera extends vertically above the trailer and multiple cameras point in different directions. Policy Questions: Placement of Trailer Cameras – The Council may wish to ask the Administration where trailer cameras are most effective and how the Department prioritizes where to locate them. Page | 8 Privacy Considerations – The Council may wish to discuss with the Administration privacy considerations from placing cameras around the City and what protections exist for the resulting audio and video data. Trailer Camera vs Pole Cameras – The Council may wish to ask the Administration why trailer cameras are preferable to pole cameras which can be installed on streetlights in the public right of way. D-14: Housing Trust Fund Transfer to RDA ($2,800,000 from Housing) As requested by Council, this budget amendment transfers the Housing Trust Fund loans and associated cash to the RDA. The $2,800,000 amount on the budget amendment is to move the cash in the current Housing Trust Fund cost centers to the RDA. Approximately $20 million of loan receivables will also be transferred. As these are balance sheet accounts, they do not affect budgets. Any remaining balance sheet items and cash that comes in will subsequently be transferred to the RDA. A separate agreement between the RDA and the Community and Neighborhoods Development Department will be completed after this budget amendment is approved by the Council for the loans and deeds of trust to also be transferred. Section E: Grants Requiring No New Staff Resources E-1: State of Utah, Governor’s Office of Planning and Budget, Granary District Flood Plain Mitigation ($2 million from CIP Fund and $2,238,000 from Miscellaneous Grants Fund) The Salt Lake City Department of Public Utilities received $2,000,000 for the Granary District Flood Plain Mitigation and Re-Mapping. Granary District Floodplain Mitigation and Re-Mapping is a phased planning, permitting, and capital improvement project to reduce the Federal Emergency Management Act (FEMA) designated 750-acre Flood Hazard Area (FHA) concentrated in the Granary District and the adjacent stretch of the Jordan River. There are at least 1,182 properties partially or completely within the FHA. The flood hazard risk is substantial and limits new development. The project area is approximately 5,700 acres. The project under this Agreement will only cover Phase 1 for planning, design, and constructing water quality and storage facilities. Future Phase 2 will plan, study, and schedule additional capital improvements to maximize the FHA reduction as funding is secured from federal and state grants and/or Salt Lake City Department of Public Utilities (SLCDPU) capital funds. Phase 1 of the project is estimated to begin January 2023 and be completed by December 2026. This grant has a match requirement of $2,238,000. Salt Lake City identified $2 million from the first tranche of its American Rescue Plan Act State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds. A public hearing was held on 12/7/21. Note that since the grant application was submitted last fall, the $2 million required match increased by $238,000. The grant is requesting $11.45 million of federal funding for a total project cost of $13.45 million. The increase will be covered by the Public Utilities Department’s Capital Improvement Fund. A revised scope of work caused the increased costs and includes project elements that are ineligible for the federal grant funding. Section F: Donations (None) Section G: Council Consent Agenda No. 3 G-1: National Renewal Energy Lab (NREL), Solar Energy Innovation Network (SEIN) Round 3 Multi-Stakeholder Team ($166,979 from Miscellaneous Grants Fund) The Department of Sustainability applied for and received $166,979 in grant funding for the Solar Energy Innovation Network (SEIN) Round 3 Multi-Stakeholder Team grant program from the National Renewal Energy Laboratory. The funding will be used to increase uptake of commercial solar and/or storage in underserved communities through involvement from trusted stakeholders, community listening sessions, three to five solar and storage benefit case studies, and culturally relevant outreach tools and resources that address solar PV market barriers. Funding is allocated for: Travel $3,582 Three trips to Golden, Colorado for Team Lead (Senior Energy & Climate Program Manager) to participate in SEIN-hosted cohort peer exchange workings sessions and symposium. Contractual $163,397 Subrecipient contract to facilitate stakeholder convenings, guide case study assessments, and develop solar/storage resources, outreach materials, and deliverables. No match is required. A public hearing was held on 12/7/21 for this grant application. Page | 9 G-2: Utah State Department of Public Safety, Bureau of Forensic Services, FY21 Paul Coverdell Forensic Science Improvement Grant Program ($7,500 from Miscellaneous Grants Fund) The Police Department is proposed as a sub-awardee in the Utah Department of Public Safety’s Bureau of Forensic Services (UBFS) application for the FY21 Paul Coverdell Forensic Science Improvement Grant Program. The state’s application includes $7,500 for the police department’s Crime Laboratory to attain 2022 annual accreditation fee through ANAB (ANSI National Accreditation Board) under ISO/IEC 17020:2012 requirement. The lab received their ANAB accreditation in June 2021. With the assessment fee and annual accreditation fee being paid with Coverdell 2020 funds, the costs for the first-year surveillance audit will be covered by this year's grant funds. A public hearing was held on 4/5/22. G-3: Utah Department of Health – Bureau of Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Grant, FY22 Per Capita Allocation ($4,200 from Miscellaneous Grants Fund) Additional Funding of $4,200 has been awarded to this original grant bringing the total grant award amount to $14,450. This agenda item will increase the funding budget. The Fire Department applied for and was awarded $10,250 of grant funding from the Utah Department of Health, Bureau of Emergency Medical Services. This funding will be used towards the purchase of a 12-Lead Cardiac Monitor and medical supplies relating to the provision of Emergency Medical Services as funding permits. The public hearing for the original grant was held 2/16/21. Section I: Council Added Items (None) ATTACHMENTS 1.

Projections for fiscal year 2021 were better than expected, while projections for fiscal year 2022 continue to trend above budget. The City is forecasting increases in most categories. Sales tax for the first quarter was well above budget and the prior year. However, franchise tax is lagging below budget from a decrease in water franchise ($704,000) and telephone ($218,000) franchise taxes. Licenses and Permits is coming in very strong. Licenses are above budget driven by increases in airport parking taxes and innkeepers tax. The City continues to see positive construction number leading permits to remain very strong with increases in plan check fees and building permits. Field reservations, land leases and building leases are leading to an increase in Charges, Fees and Rentals. Miscellaneous revenue is seeing an increase in fuel reimbursement and other utility reimbursements. These are offset by special event revenue due to a continued decrease in in person events in the City. Fines and Forfeitures are below budget from a decrease in moving violations and justice court fines. Interfund Reimbursement is below budget due to fire reimbursement from the airport which should show an increase next fiscal year.

A-2: Cottonwood Park Bridge Rebuild GF -$195,000.00 GF $195,000.00 CIP $195,000.00 Department: Public Lands Prepared By: Gregg Evans For Questions Please Include: Gregg Evans, Kristin Riker, Lee Bollwinkel The Public Lands Department is requesting a budget amendment of $195,000 to transfer general funds to POL CIP deferred maintenance fund. On November 6th, a windstorm upturned a large tree on top of the pedestrian bridge by Cottonwood Dog Park. This bridge is the main access for the dog park for residents over the Jordan River. A structural engineer has deemed that one side of the bridge can remain open to pedestrians to allow access. The engineer has also determined the bridge stability has been compromised to a level that it is unsafe for Parks vehicles to travel over this bridge, inhibiting maintenance vehicles from crossing. One of the two supporting braces on the bridge has been crushed and so the bridge can handle light pedestrian traffic but no vehicle use. The structural engineer determined that the cost of replacement of the brace is as much as the replacement of the bridge. Parks staff have barricaded the damaged side of the bridge to keep pedestrians away from the broken area for now. The bridge needs to be replaced as soon as possible as it is unclear how weather and use of the bridge may impact the bridge stability. Public Lands will continue to monitor the bridge safety until it can be replaced. Public Lands is proposing to use anticipated year-end savings as a source of funding for this bridge reconstruction. The funds would be transferred from Public Lands to the CIP Maintenance Fund.

A-7: Cyber Security Portfolio Expansion IMS $500,000.00 IMS $188,605.00 IMS $25,075.00 GF $713,680.00 Department: IMS Prepared By: Joseph Anthony For Questions Please Include: Joseph Anthony, Aaron Bentley, Mary Beth Thompson Salt Lake City is a major government organization that has a robust network with a vast array of valuable data and processes that are reliant on the network. This is a request to get the city's endpoint management upgraded due to current cyber security threats and a vast array of threats that are currently being seen throughout the industry. We are requesting $500,000 to secure a contract for a SIEM (Security Incident and Event Management) security suite to actively monitor and respond to security events ac ross the network that pose a risk to the city's network reliability. A SOC (Security Operations Center) will be created to mitigate and monitor the active threats against the network. We are also requesting an additional 75,000 for penetration testing and vulnerability scanning of our security posture, both internally and externally. Desktop/Laptop management expansion $65,800. The City’s Desktop Security solution needs additional licensing or a “true up”. Our current system has 2350 licenses, and we need to expand that to 3350 (1000 additional licenses). This software provides patch management to the primary devices (pcs and laptops) across the City. As Microsoft updates come out monthly (sometimes weekly) this software enables us to patch the devices across the network without having to touch every device individually. Security Suite additional software for desktops/laptops $47,805. This software is an expansion of the above desktop/laptop management software. It will allow us to tighten the security on these devices such as disabling USB connected peripherals, change administrative permissions for applications to install and run and allows enhanced control of the operating systems among other functionalities. To maintain these improvements an additional Cyber Security Engineer FTE will be needed. Annual maintenance will vary greatly based on the SIEM solution that is chosen but may be as much as $250,000 per year on an ongoing basis. Costs will initially be covered through a transfer from the general fund. Actual costs will be allocated across all funds based on usage.

Salt Lake City has provided staffing and purchased program supplies and furnishings while Salt Lake County has provided the space to operate the programs. In March, 2020 all in-person Youth and Family programming was halted.

The health department moved out after a few months and the Center sat empty. Shortly thereafter, the Center was broken into and as a result sustained significant damage to the building and interior contents including a good portion of the equipment and furnishings that the City had paid for. This settlement payment of $37,892.00 is a reimbursement for the damaged equipment and supplies.

BOX 145476, SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH 84114-5476 SLCCOUNCIL.COM TEL 801-535-7600 FAX 801-535-7651 COUNCIL STAFF REPORT CITY COUNCIL of SALT LAKE CITY TO:City Council Members FROM:Brian Fullmer Policy Analyst DATE:April 19, 2022 RE: Dowland Rezone and Master Plan Amendment (1902 South 400 East) PLNPCM2021-00717/00718 The Council will be briefed about a proposal to amend the master plan and zoning map for property located at 1902 South 400 East in City Council District Five. The property is currently zoned R-1/5,000 (Residential) and the requested zoning designation is RMF-35 (Moderate Density Multi-Family Residential). The Central Community Master Plan future land use map designates this property Low Density residential (1-5 dwelling units per acre). The requested designation is Medium Density Residential (15-30 dwelling units per acre). A historic structure, the Septimus and Isabella Sears residence, was previously located on the subject property. Unfortunately, the building suffered catastrophic damage during the March 2020 earthquake and was subsequently demolished. The .33-acre property is currently vacant. Requested master plan and zoning map amendments are to facilitate a proposed development of four townhomes. The applicant originally requested RMF-45 zoning, but after Planning staff recommended the Planning Commission forward a negative recommendation to the Council, and the Planning Commission reviewed the proposal at its November 10, 2021 meeting, the applicant stated they would be amenable to changing the requested zoning to RMF-35. The Planning Commission voted to table the application so the applicant could work with Planning staff to revise the requested zoning designation. Townhomes are not allowed in the R-1/5,000 zoning district but are within the RMF-35 and RMF-45 districts. The applicant worked with Planning staff to revise their request to change the zoning designation to RMF- 35. The original proposed development was for eight townhomes but has been changed to include four townhomes. It should be noted the Council is only being asked to consider rezoning the property. No development plan has been submitted to the City nor is it within the scope of the Council’s authority to Item Schedule: Briefing: April 19, 2022 Set Date: April 19, 2022 Public Hearing: May 3, 2022 Potential Action: May 17, 2022 Page | 2 review the plans. Because zoning of a property can outlast the life of a building, any rezoning application should be considered on the merits of changing the zoning of that property, not simply based on a potential project. The Planning Commission reviewed the revised proposal at its February 9, 2022 meeting, held a public hearing, and followed Planning staff’s recommendation, voting unanimously to forward a positive recommendation to the City Council for both the zoning map and master plan amendments. Area zoning map with subject property outlined in red Goal of the briefing: Review the proposed zoning and future land use map amendments, determine if the Council supports moving forward with the proposal. POLICY QUESTIONS 1. The Council may wish to ask the Planning Division if there are other, potentially more compatible zoning designations would allow the proposed townhome development. 2. The Council may wish to ask if the applicant is considering any affordability considerations in the additional units. 3. The Council may wish to discuss with the Administration how the pending affordable housing overlay would have related to this request, to inform future discussions on that proposal. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Planning staff identified one key consideration related to the proposal which is found on pages 3-4 of the Planning Commission staff report and summarized below. For the complete analysis, please see the staff report. Consideration 1-Existing City Plan Guidance – Central Community Master Plan Page | 3 The subject property is within the Central Community Master Plan’s Liberty neighborhood planning area (900 South to 2100 South, and State Street to 700 East). The Plan states single-family detached residential is the most common use in this area. Preservation of low-density neighborhoods and ensuring new developments are compatible with existing scale, character and density of the surrounding neighborhoods is outlined in the Plan. The Plan also states projects not in keeping with the scale, character and density should not be allowed. It is Planning staff’s opinion the proposed zoning change to RMF-35 is appropriate for the neighborhood. The subject parcel is across the street from St. Joseph’s Villa rehabilitation center, which is split-zoned RMF-35 and I (Institutional), as shown in the area zoning map above. The Central Community Master Plan future land use map shows the subject parcel is intended to be Low- Density Residential (1-5 dwelling units per acre), which is not consistent with the proposed zoning map amendment. The applicant requested a master plan amendment to the Central Community Future Land Use Map to Medium-Density Residential (15-30 dwelling units per acre). This change would align with the proposed zoning map change to RMF-35. In addition to the consideration above, Planning staff reviewed the proposed amendments for compliance with citywide plans Growing Salt Lake, and Plan Salt Lake. Planning found the proposed map amendments meet goals outlined in these plans. Please see Attachment D (page 15 of the Planning Commission staff report) for the full discussion.

The total area of the subject property is approximately 0.3316 acres or approximately 14,444 square feet. The subject property was home to the historic Septimus and Isabella Sears Residence. The home was constructed in 1896 and suffered catastrophic damage in the March 2020 earthquake. The historic home has been demolished and the property currently stands vacant. The purpose of the Zoning Map and Master Plan Amendment requests is to facilitate future development of townhome units on the subject property. The subject property is located just north of 2100 South, a major vehicular, pedestrian, and transit corridor. While the subject property is close to the major corridor 400 East itself is a calmer street which primarily provides access to residential streets and properties. The properties across the street to the east are zoned RMF-35 and Institutional and are the location(s) of the St. Joseph Villa and Senior Living development. The surrounding properties on the block and within the surrounding area are zoned R-1-5,000 and are strictly residential properties. The primary reason for the rezone request is so the applicant will have the ability to construct townhome units, which is not currently allowed under the existing R-1-5,000 zoning district but is allowed as a permitted use under the requested RMF-35 zoning district. New permitted uses would include: assisted living facilities (small), multi-family dwellings, single-family attached dwellings, and twin home/two family dwellings. New conditional uses would include: congregate Figure 1: View of the vacant subject property from 400 East. Figure 2: Photograph of damage to Sears Mansion following March 2020 earthquake. care facility (large), residential support (small), community recreation centers, assisted living facilities (large), group homes (large) and residential support dwellings (small). There are no uses which are currently permitted which would become conditional uses but there are conditional uses which would become permitted. These include: co mmunity garden, accessory dwelling units, limited capacity assisted living facility, and small congregate care facility. For a complete list of uses that are allowed under the existing R-1-5,000 Residential zone and the proposed RMF- 35 Multifamily Residential zone, please refer to Attachment C. Typically when the zoning designation of properties is amended to a zone which allows non-residential uses a Housing Loss Mitigation Study is required. In this case, however, the residential use was terminated (demolished) before these petitions were filed so a Housing Loss Mitigation Study is not required. This request was previously heard by the Planning Commission on November 10, 2021 where the Applicant was requesting a zoning map amendment to the RMF-45 zoning district. Numerous neighbors attended the public hearing at this meeting; some voiced their support and others stated their opposition. Planning Staff’s previous analysis of the map amendment considerations led to a negative recommendation and the Planning Commission voted to table the requested map amendments to allow the Applicant and Planning Staff time to discuss the request and consider other available zoning districts. Following this discussion the Applicant opted to amend their zoning map amendment request to RMF-35. Zoning Map Amendment Considerations Planning staff is required by ordinance to analyze proposed zoning map amendments against existing adopted City policies and other related adopted City regulations. Planning staff is also directed to consider whether zoning map amendments implement best planning practices. However, ultimately, a decision to amend the zoning map is fully up to the discretion of the City Council and is not subject to any particular standard of review or consideration. The full list of factors to consider for a zoning map amendment are located in Attachment E. KEY CONSIDERATIONS : The key considerations and concerns below have been identified through the analysis of the project, neighbor and community input, and department reviews. 1. Existing Area Plan Guidance Consideration 1: Existing City Plan Guidance – Central City Master Plan For zoning map amendments, Planning Staff is directed by ordinance to consider the associated City master plans and adopted policies that apply to a proposal. Staff reviews general City policies, including adopted policies in Citywide master plans such as Plan Salt Lake , and considers plans that are specific to an area. In this case the property is within the boundaries of the Central Community Master Plan. The Central Community Master Plan outlines how this area developed; beginning as a residential area into which commercial uses began to infiltrate after WWII. The Future Land Use Map associated with the Central Community Master Plan indicates the subject property is intended to be a Low-Density Residential land use (beige ), which is not consistent with the proposed zoning map amendment. To remedy this the Applicant has also requested an Master Plan Amendment of the Central Community Future Land Use Map to Medium-Density Residential (golden color) in order to facilitate the zoning change. This change would allow for zoning changes consistent with 15-30 dwelling units per acre as opposed to the 1- 15 dwelling units per acre currently encouraged under the existing land use and zoning map designations. The subject property is located in the “Liberty neighborhood planning area” within the Central Community Master Plan. This area is bounded between 900 South to 2100 South and State Street to 700 East. The Plan indicates single-family detached residential uses are the most common in this area. The residential land use goals outlined in the Central Community Master Plan encourage higher density developments to be located in appropriate areas including East Downtown, the Central Business District, the Gateway area and nearby downtown light rail stations. It also seeks to ensure the preservation of low-density residential neighborhoods and to ensure new developments are compatible with the existing scale, character and density of the surrounding neighborhoods. While the Plan encourages the creation of various housing opportunities it is clear that projects not in keeping with the surrounding scale, character and density of a neighborhood should not be allowed. The proposed zoning change to RMF-35 is in keeping with the surrounding neighborhood and would be directly across the street from an existing property that is also zoned RMF-35 (St. John’s Villa). See Attachment D for policy statements and goals from various city plans that staff co nsidered as part of the review of this rezone request. Generally, staff finds that the proposed map amendments meet the considerations outlined in section 21A.50.050. NEXT STEPS: The Planning Commission can provide a positive or negative recommendation for the proposal and as part of a recommendation, can add conditions or request that changes be made to the proposal. The recommendation and any requested conditions/changes will be sent to the City Council, who will hold a briefing and additional public hearing on the proposed zoning changes. The City Council may make modifications to the proposal and approve or decline to approve the proposed zoning map amendment . Zoning Map and Master Plan Amendment Approval - If the requests are ultimately approved by the City Council, the changes would be incorporated into the official City Zoning map and the future land use map within the Central Community Master Plan and the subject property could be developed under the RMF-35 zoning regulations. Zoning Map and Master Plan Amendment Denial - If the proposed amendments are not approved by the City Council, the property could still be developed under the current R-1-5,000 zoning designation, however, the property would not be able to have townhome units as they are not permitted in the existing zoning district. Zoning and Vicinity Maps Minutes from November 10, 2021 Planning Commisison meeting Salt Lake City Planning Commission November 10, 2021 Page 7 MOTION Commissioner Adrienne Bell stated, Based on the information in the staff report, the information presented, and the input received during the public hearing, I move that the Planning Commission approve the Design Review for the Alta Terra Sugar House South building at approximately 1132 East Ashton Avenue(petition PLNPCM2021-00691)with the following condition of approval: 1. That final approval of the signage, lighting, and landscaping of the development be delegated to staff to review in accordance with the adopted standards and ordinances. Commissioner Maurine Bachman seconded the motion. Commissioners Andres Paredes, Jon Lee, Sara Urquhart, Aimee Burrows, Adrienne Bell, Maurine Bachman, Mike Christensen, and Brenda Scheer voted “yes”. The motion passed. Dowland Townhomes General Plan & Zoning Map Amendment at Approximately 1902 South 400 East - Paul Dowland, on behalf of the property owner, is requesting an amendment of the General Plan and Zoning Map for a property located at approximately 1902 South 400 East. The Applicant is requesting to change the General Plan Land Use Map from Low Density Residential to Medium Density Residential and to change the Zoning Map from R -1/5,000 (Single Family Residential District) to RMF-45 (Moderate/High Density Multifamily Residential District) The subject property is located within Council District 5 represented by Darin Mano. (Staff contact: Caitlyn Tubbs at 801-535-7706 or caitlyn.tubbs@slcgov.com) Case numbers PLNPCM2021-00717 & PLNPCM2021-00718 Principal Planner, Caitlyn Tubbs, reviewed the petition as outlined in the staff report. She shared that the majority of public comments were in opposition to the petition. She stated that Staff recommends the Planning Commission forward a negative recommendation to City Council. The applicant representative, Tom Jolley, stated that they have no formal presentation. He said that the City’s Master Plan was made in response to the market at the time but that needs have changed. He feels the project could be tweaked to fit within the City’s goals. Chairperson Barry asked for the reason they are asking RMF45 versus other options such as RMF-35. The applicant stated that they were looking to fit 8 units on the lot. He stated they are open to change the request to RMF35. Commissioner Bell asked if the applicant had considered subdividing the lot and if so, how many lots they could get out of it. The applicant stated they had not considered subdividing, but they could possibly subdivide the lot into two and meet zoning. Salt Lake City Planning Commission November 10, 2021 Page 8 Commissioner Burrows asked what the chances were the applicant would rebuild the mansion on the lot. He stated that they were not willing to do that. PUBLIC HEARING Chairperson Barry opened the public hearing. • Cindy Cromer – supports the staff report – in opposition of the petition. • Darlene Kaufusi – in opposition of the petition • Doyle Buchanan – in favor of the petition • Jeff Bair – in opposition of the petition • Mary Piele – in opposition of the petition • Sharlene Kiuhara – in opposition of the petition • Taylor Anderson – asked wanted to know why the applicant asked for RMF-45 and wanted to know what other kind of zoning could be put there • Vincent Gryboski – read his previously emailed comment – in opposition of the petition • William Nesse – in support of the petition • Bailey Cooper – sees value in adding more properties to the area • Amy Thompson read an email from Sara E. Adelman – Liberty Wells Community Council - we do not support the rezoning of this property to RMU-45 given the existing character of the surrounding neighborhood. Seeing that no one else wished to speak, Chairperson Barry closed the public h earing. Chairperson Barry addressed Taylor Anderson’s question about zoning and asked Caitlyn if the RMF-45 was needed specifically for the project density. She stated that the requested zoning was needed for the proposed project. Chairperson Barry then asked what kind of density they could get in the RMF-35 zoning. Staff stated that the bulk requirements would be similar but there would be a major change with the height restrictions which would be 35ft for the RMF-35 zone verses 45ft in the RMF-45 zone. Chairperson Barry asked about the appropriateness of form-based code in the proposed area. Director Nick Norris clarified that zoning is typically used in metro areas close to transit. Chairperson Barry asked what the setback for the front yard is. Planner Tubbs reviewed the setbacks that are shown in the staff report. Director Nick Norris reviewed the density for RMF-35 saying the lot is just over 14,000 square feet, and how density is calculated in the RMF-35 zone is that you get 3 unit for the first 9,000 square feet of lot area and then each additional unit up to 11 additional units requires 2,000 square feet per unit. He stated that the property in question could have 5 units under the RMF- 35 zoning. Salt Lake City Planning Commission November 10, 2021 Page 9 Commissioner Scheer stated that the applicant did not ask for the RMF35 zoning and the Commission is not able to negotiate that at a Planning Commission meeting. She said she agrees with almost all of the public comments, but this project has not been thought out enough and she will be opposing. Commissioner Mike Christensen said he wants to see more density and housing available in the neighborhood but wants something that is more thought through. Mr. Jolly feels they can build a project the community could be proud of. He asked if t hey could continue a conversation with staff to find a solution. MOTION Commissioner Aimee Burrows stated, Based on the information in the staff report, the information presented, and the input received during the public hearing, I move that the Planning Commission forward a Negative Recommendation to the City Council for the requested General Map Amendment from Low Density Residential (1-5 dwelling units per acre)to Medium Density Residential (15-30 dwelling units per acre) for 0.33 acres at approximately 1902 South 400 East with the following finding: 1. The requested map amendment is not consistent with the considerations within section 21A.50.050of Salt Lake City’s ordinances. Commissioner Mike Christensen seconded the motion. Director Nick Norris review the options with the Commission other than denial since the applicant mentioned willingness to change their application. Commissioner Scheer asked staff if they send a negative recommendation if it has to go before City Council or of the applicant could withdraw. Commissioner Aimee Burrows stated that she would withdraw her motion. Commissioner Adrienne Bell stated that she would be in favor of tabling the petition in favor of finding an alternative. Commissioner Christensen stated he would be in favor of tabling as well. Commissioner Burrows withdrew her motion. Commissioner Brenda Scheer stated. In the application PLNPCM2021-00717 & PLNPCM2021-00718 I move that we table this set of applications. Commissioner Sara Urquhart seconded the motion. Commissioners Maurine Bachman, Adrienne Bell, Aimee Burrows, Sara Urquhart, Andres Paredes, Mike Christensen, Brenda Scheer, and Jon Lee voted “yes”. The motion passed.

The meeting adjourned at 7:57 PM. R-1-5,000 & RMF-35 Zoning Comparison The following uses are not currently allowed in the R-1-5,000 zoning district but are listed as permitted or conditional uses under the proposed RMF-35 zoning district designation: New Permitted New Conditional Assisted Living Facility (Small) Community Recreation Center Multi-Family Dwelling Assisted Living Facility (Large) Dwelling, Single-Family Attached Congregate Care Facility (Large) Dwelling, Twin Home and Two -Family Group Home (Large) Dwelling, Residential Support (Small) Changing from Permitted to Not Allowed Changing from Conditional to Not Allowed -None - -None - Changing from Permitted to Conditional Changing from Conditional to Permitted -None - Community Garden Accessory Dwelling Units Assisted Living Facility (Limited Capacity) Congregate Care Facility (Small) A comparison of zoning standards between the existing R-1-5,000 zoning district and the proposed RMF-35 zoning district are as follows below: Existing R-1-5,000 Proposed RMF-35 Building Height 28 Feet for pitched roofs and 20 Feet for flat roofs 35 Feet Front Setback Equal to average of the front yards of existing buildings on block face or minimum 20. 20 Feet Corner Side Yard Setback 10 Feet 10 Feet Interior Side Yard Setback, corner lot 4 Feet Single Family Detached and Two Family Dwellings: 4 Feet Interior Side Yard Setback, interior lot 4 Feet on one side and 10 Feet on the other side Single Family Detached and Two Family Dwellings: 4 Feet on one side and 10 Feet on the other Single Family Attached: None required Twin Family: None on one side and 10 Feet on the other Multi-Family: 10 Feet All other: 10 Feet Rear Setback 25% of lot depth of 20 Feet, whichever is less 25% of lot depth or 20 Feet, whichever is less and not to exceed 25 Feet Maximum Building Coverage 40% Single Family Detached: 45% Two Family Dwellings: 50% Single Family Attached: 60% Twin Family: 50% Multi-Family: 60% Non-Residential: 60% Maximum Lot Size 7,500 square feet None listed City Plan Considerations Adopted City Plan Policies and Guidance Zoning map amendments are reviewed for compliance with City master plans and adopted policies. The below plans were adopted for the area: • Central City Master Plan (Current Community Plan) o Density increases in single family type structures are encouraged in the Liberty Neighborhood. The proposed zoning amendment to RMF-35 would allow for moderate density increases within single family attached structures as encouraged in the Central City Master Plan. o • Growing Salt Lake o Housing Initiative 2 suggests the City increase the number of medium density housing types and options. Allowing the zoning change would increase the medium density housing types in this area of the city in a location where the additional units would have access to amenities such as parks. o Housing Initiative 3 encourages housing options that accommodate aging in place. The development of multiple housing types in a neighborhood provides opportunities for residents to live in homes that serve their specific needs for their age while also keeping them in the same neighborhood and nearby the amenities they have grown accustomed to. • Plan Salt Lake o Growth initiative 3 encourages the City to “promote infill and redevelopment of underutilized land.” The subject property is larger than other properties in the surrounding area. The property is currently vacant following the demolition of the damaged Sears Mansion. The subject property’s location in an already established neighborhood and the size of the land makes this parcel a good candidate for infill redevelopment. o Housing Initiative 2 promotes the increase of medium density housing types and options. The Plan also advocates for the city to enable moderate density increases within existing neighborhoods where appropriate. As seen in the Central City Master Plan the subject property is appropriate for a moderate density increase because it is in close proximity to multiple collector streets and local amenities. Analysis of Zoning Amendment Standards ZONING MAP AMENDMENTS 21A.50.050: A decision to amend the text of this title or the zoning map by general amendment is a matter committed to the legislative discretion of the city council and is not controlled by any one standard. In making a decision to amend the zoning map, the City Council should consider the following: FACTOR FINDING RATIONALE 1. Whether a proposed map amendment is consistent with the purposes, goals, objectives, and policies of the city as stated through its various adopted planning documents; Complies The proposed map amendments are consistent with the housing and growth initiatives of multiple citywide housing plans and the subject property is a good candidate for moderate density increase as allowed by the Central City Master Plan. 2. Whether a proposed map amendment furthers the specific purpose statements of the zoning ordinance. Complies The general purpose statement of the City’s residential zoning districts includes: providing a range of housing choices, types, and densities and to ensure co mpatible development, among other goals. The proposed map amendments are consistent with the purpose statements. 3. The extent to which a proposed map amendment will affect adjacent properties; Complies The subject property is in an already established neighborhood and there is an existing land use across the street to the east that is also zoned RMF-35. 4. Whether a proposed map amendment is consistent with the purposes and provisions of any applicable overlay zoning districts which may impose additional standards Not Applicable There are no overlay zoning districts governing the subject property. 5. The adequacy of public facilities and services intended to serve the subject property, including, but not limited to, roadways, parks and recreational facilities, police and fire protection, schools, stormwater Complies The surrounding area is fully developed, and all public infrastructure and utilities are already in place. An increase in the number of dwelling units permitted under the proposed RMF-35 zone may require upgrading the utilities and drainage systems. However, such upgrades would be required for any new larger/intensification of use on the property through the building permits process. drainage systems, water supplies, and wastewater and refuse collection.

Vicinity Map □ Salt Lake City Planning Divis ion 8/5/2021 6 . Original Petition June 28, 2021 Via Electronic Mail Salt Lake City Planning Division 451 S. State Street Salt Lake City, UT 84111 Attn: Daniel Echeverria – Senior Planner Re: Written Narrative in Support of Master Plan and Zoning Amendment Applications Dear Daniel, This firm represents PJJD LLC (the “Developer”) in connection with a proposed multi-family residential real estate development in Salt Lake City. Developer owns a vacant lot located at 1902 S 400 E in Salt Lake City (the “Property”). Developer is proposing to develop the Property into an 8-Unit/Lot multi- family residential subdivision (the “Project”). The Property is currently zoned R-1/5,000 (Single - Family Residential District) and in order to develop the Property as intended by Developer, it is necessary to request a rezone and a master plan map amendment of the Property from R-1/5,000 (Single-Family) to the RMF- 45 (Moderate/High Density Multi-Family Residential District (“RMF-45 Zone”). Concurrent with this letter, Developer is submitting: (i) a General Master Plan Map Amendment Application; (ii) a General Zoning Amendment Application; and (iii) supporting materials (collectively the “Application”) as required by Salt Lake City (the “City”). The purpose of this letter is to address the Application requirements and provide written support for the Application. 1. Current General Plan Classification. The current City General Plan classification for the Property is located in the Central Community district. 2. Current Zoning Classification. The current City Zoning classification is R-1/5,000 (Single-Family Residential) and Low Density Residential (See Central Master Plan). 3. Requested Zoning Classification. The Developer is requesting a Zoning Classification and change of the Zoning Map to RMF -45 Zone (Moderate/High Density Multi-Family Residential). 4. Parcel Number Change. The Developer is requesting the Zoning Map to be amended for only one Parcel Id: 16-18-452-012-0000. 5. Project Description and Proposed Use. Developer purchased the Property on October 20, 2020. Prior to Developer’s ownership, a single-family home was located on the Property which received substantial earthquake damage. As a result of such damage and for safety reasons, the home was razed, and the Property now sits vacant. Developer proposes to subdivide and construct 8 tasteful townhomes on Page 2 of 2 the Property for sale and use as a multifamily residential subdivision. Each townhome will have 4 bedrooms, 2 baths with a double car garage. There will be no on street parking. 6. Reasons in Support of Requested Zone Change. In support of rezoning the Property to the RMF -45 Zone, Developer respectfully requests the City to balance existing rules and regulations with flexibility for change and growth and consider the following: (a). General Statement. Salt Lake City is one of the fastest growing cities in the nation and boasts a strong housing and employment market. Although this growth in population and employment supports a vibrant community, for many residents and workers, SLC is becoming a city out of reach. Similar to cities across the country, Salt Lake City is faced with housing prices that are rising more rapidly than wages, resulting in a lack of diverse and affordable housing. To address the growth and housing challenges, over the years the City has developed goals, objectives and policies as stated through its various adopted planning documents, including, Plan Salt Lake; Salt Lake City/Citywide Vision, adopted 2015 (“Master Plan ”); Growing SLC, A Five Year Housing Plan, (2018-2022) (“City Housing Plan”); Salt Lake City Consolidated Plan; Hud Program Years 2020-2024; Fiscal Years 2021-2025, (“HUD Plan”), Central Community Neighborhood Master Plan, adopted 2005 (“Central Master Plan ”); Building Affordable in Salt Lake City: An Affordable Residential Development Guide, 2019 (“Affordable Residential Guide”); various zoning regulations (“Ordinances”) and other city wide and community plans, etc. Implementing these various goals, objections and policies as reflected in the adopted planning documents requires a unique approach of balancing existing rules and regulations while exercising flexibility to achieve real and responsive change that will encourage the market to develop the diverse and affordable housing needed to accommodate the growing SLC community. (b) The Project is consistent with the purposes, goals, objectives and policies of the City. The Master Plan, City Housing Plan, HUD Plan, Central Master Plan, Affordable Residential Guide and Ordinances all recognize, support and call for increasing the housing supply and expanding housing opportunities throughout the city, including removing local barriers to housing development. For example, both the Master Plan and the City Housing Plan specifically provide: (1) By creating places with a diverse mix of uses, building types, connections, and transportation options, people have the choice of where they live, how they live, and how they get around. As our City grows and evolves overtime, having a diverse mix of uses in our neighborhoods citywide will become increasingly important to accommodate responsible growth and provide people with real choices. See Master Plan; Sustainable Growth & Development, Page 9. (2) Compatibility of development generally refers to how a development integrates into the existing scale and character of a neighborhood. New development should be context sensitive to the surrounding development, taking into account the existing character of the neighborhood while providing opportunities for new growth and to enhance the sense of place. See Master Plan; Sustainable Growth & Development, Page 10. Page 3 of 2 (3) Guiding Principle; Access to a wide variety of housing types for all income levels throughout the City, providing the basic human need for safety and responding to changing demographics; Initiatives; Increase the number of medium density housing types and options; Enable moderate density increases within existing neighborhoods where appropriate. See Master Plan, Guiding Principles and Housing Initiatives, Pages 14 & 21. (4) Guiding Principle; Maintaning places that provide a foundation for the City to affirm our past; Initiatives; Preserve and enhance neighborhood district character; Balance preservation with flexibility for change and growth. See Master Plan, Guiding Principles and Housing Initiatives, Pages 14 & 33. (5) In order to respond to Salt Lake City’s changing demographics and the housing needs of its diverse communities, it is critical to begin to look within the City for real and responsive change that will encourage the market to develop the housing and infrastructure needed to accommodate our growing community. This goal focuses on the need to increase the diversity of housing types and opportunities in the city by seeking policy reforms that can enhance the flexibility of the land-use code and create an efficient and predictable development process for community growth. See City Housing Plan, Section 3, Goal 1, Page 17. (6) In order to respond to the demographic shift described above, modernizing zoning is key not only to catching up with the demand, but creating housing that responds to every stage of lifewhether just starting out or downsizing later in life… In addition, thereis a needfor in-fill ordinances that allow for greater density in existing neighborhoods, offering owners the option to subdivide large parcels to increase the utility and value of their land, removing impediments to innovative construction types, such as accessory dwelling units, and reducing parking requirements to bring downthe cost of developing new housingunits. See City Housing Plan, Section 3, Objective 1.1.1, Page 18; (Emphasis Added). (7) In-fill ordinances provide both property owners and developers with options to increase the number of units on particular parcels throughout the city. Such options would alsohelprestore the“missingmiddle” housingtypes where new construction has principally been limited to single-family homes and multi- story apartment buildingsfor decades. Missingmiddle housingtypes arethose that current zoning practices have either dramatically reduced or eliminated altogether: accessory dwelling units, duplexes, tri-plexus, small multi-plexus, courtyard cottages and bungalows, row houses, and small apartment buildings. Finding a place for these housing types throughout the city means more housing options in Salt Lake City and restoring choices for a wider variety of household sizes, from seniors to young families. Apart from traditional infill ordinances, responding to the unusual age, form, and shape of housing stock should beaddressed andleveragedto addincremental density in existing structures. This would include options for lot subdivision where there is ample spaceto build anadditional home ona property or alternatively Page 4 of 2 expand rental opportunities in existing structures. This solution responds to the strong preference for single-family homes that was captured in the Salt Lake Live Work Survey. Allowing landowners to subdivide their large, underutilized lots createsa path to building more single-familyhomes in a city that has limited space left for them under its current land-use regulations. See City Housing Plan, Section 3, Objective 1.1.2, Page 19 (Emphasis added). The Project creates a real opportunity to respond to and satisfy many of the City’s stated goals and objectives to find places to enable moderate density increases within existing neighborhoods to provide for a wider variety of housing types. The Property is a corner lot and is currently vacant. Developer is not requesting demolition of an existing single-family home. The Project will provide 8 residential townhomes to enhance the character of the neighborhood. The Project will create new “missing middle” housing growth on a small scale at a price point more affordable than currently exists in this area. (c) Further Purposes of Zoning Ordinance. Developer will establish CC&R’s (and, if necessary, an HOA) for the development and use of the Project in order to protect and enhance the value and desirability of the Project and to provide a clean and safe neighborhood for its residents. (d). The Project will not materially affect adjacent properties. Developer recognizes that the Property is located in the Central Community district and subject to, among other planning documents, the Central Master Plan which provides for “preservation of historic structures and neighborhoods” as an important goal. Yet we note that the Central Master Plan was created and adopted in 2005 when market dynamics were much different and may even conflict with more modern goals and policies of the City as adopted in the Master Plan and City Housing Plan as they relate to creating a diversity of housing types in the city to address growth. Developer believes that the Project will not fundamentally change the residential nature of the neighborhood and is willing to engage with the City on “form-based zoning” (i.e., ensuring that the form of a building fits into the neighborhood surrounding it, rather than focusing regulation on the specific use of that building as traditional zoning code requires) to tweak height, depth and general shape of the Project to best utilize the space on the Property and ensure that the residential neighborhood character is preserved and enhanced. Working with the City, the Project will be context sensitive to the existing character of the neighborhood while providing opportunities for new growth and to enhance the sense of place. (e). Consistent Land Use. The land use of the Property will remain residential and not mixed use. Moreover, the Project is consistent with land uses immediately surrounding the Property. The St. Josheph’s project is zoned RMF-35 and allows for moderate multifamily residential development. Additionally, a drive through of the surrounding neighborhoods also show various multi-family duplexes, tri-plexus and apartments that have been built over the years. (f). Adequate Public Facilities and Services. The Project is small scale and limited to 8 residential units/lots and will have a minimal impact on traffic and other required public facilities. Page 5 of 2 We believe the Project is consistent with the City’s development goals and objectives to provide diversity of housing types and to support attractive and well-maintained neighborhoods. We appreciate the City’s consideration of these matters and look forward to working with you. Best regards, YORK HOWELL & GUYMON M.

BOX 145476, SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH 84114-5476 SLCCOUNCIL.COM TEL 801-535-7600 FAX 801-535-7651 COUNCIL STAFF REPORT CITY COUNCIL of SALT LAKE CITY TO:City Council Members FROM:Brian Fullmer Policy Analyst DATE:April 19, 2022 RE: Intermountain Wood West Temple Rezone and Master Plan Amendment (1948/1950 South West Temple) PLNPCM2021-00291/292 The Council will be briefed about a proposal to amend the zoning map for property located at 1950 South West Temple, and a portion of the property located at 1948 South West Temple within the Ballpark neighborhood in City Council District Five. Combined, the parcels total approximately 4.25 acres. The 1948 South West Temple property is “split-zoned” between RMF-35 (Moderate Density Multi-Family Residential) and CG (General Commercial) zoning designations as shown in the area zoning map below. The entirety of 1950 South West Temple is zoned RMF-35. Additionally, the proposal would amend the Central Community Master Plan Future Land Use Map for the properties from Medium-Density Residential to Medium Residential/Mixed Use. Intermountain Wood Products has been located on the subject parcels for many years. The requests are included in efforts to expand storage space and construct a new office building with uniform zoning on the properties, which would be consolidated. Existing RMF-35 zoning would not allow the proposed expansion or office uses. The Planning Commission held a public hearing at its August 11, 2021 meeting. The applicant spoke during the meeting and stated they are amenable to a development agreement that limits building height on the property to 35 feet, and to consolidate the parcels. Planning staff recommended and the Planning Commission voted unanimously to forward a positive recommendation to the City Council with the following recommendations: Approval is conditioned on consolidating the parcels into one. Item Schedule: Briefing: April 19, 2022 Set Date: April 19, 2022 Public Hearing: May 3, 2022 Potential Action: May 17, 2022 Page | 2 The petitioner and City enter a development agreement to limit the height of any future development and approve the final site plan for the rezoned parcel. (It should be noted the City Council does not approve site plans for parcels.) Area zoning map with subject properties outlined in red and yellow Goal of the briefing: Review the proposed zoning and future land use map amendments, determine if the Council supports moving forward with the proposal. POLICY QUESTION 1. The Council may wish to discuss if height limitations and other requirements such as consolidating the two parcels might be included in a development agreement. 2. Because this property is located in the State Street project area, the Council may wish to discuss with the Administration if this is consistent with planning and redevelopment efforts in the area, or if aspects of the development agreement could anticipate adjacent redevelopment to ensure compatibility. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION The Council is only being asked to consider rezoning the property. No formal site plan has been submitted to the City nor is it within the scope of the Council’s authority to review the plans. Because zoning of a property can outlast the life of a building, any rezoning application should be considered on the merits of changing the zoning of that property, not simply based on a potential project. Page | 3 Planning staff identified four key considerations related to the proposal which are found on pages 3-5 of the Planning Commission staff report and summarized below. For the complete analysis, please see the staff report. Consideration 1-Zoning compatibility with Adjacent Properties Properties fronting on West Temple in this area are predominantly zoned residential. As shown in the area zoning map above, properties on the east side of West Temple are zoned R-1/5000; adjacent properties to the north are also R-1/5000. A parcel at the northeast corner of the subject property is zoned RMF-35 and is used for multi-family residential. These residential uses exist within a larger commercial and industrial area of the city. Okland Construction Company is adjacent to the south and the property is used for the company’s offices, as well as material and equipment storage. This parcel was rezoned in 2017 from a split zoning of RMF-35 to CG, very similar to conditions on the subject property. Okland built new offices closer to West Temple on the rezoned property. Intermountain Wood is limited in its options for locating offices much like Okland Construction was before its property was rezoned. While CG zoning could allow more intense uses than RMF-35, the applicant’s expressed intent is to construct a new office on the property. Planning staff noted uses allowed in the CG zoning district have existed on most of the property for many years. Consideration 2-Change in Zoning to CG (General Commercial) for the Entire Parcel The petitioner requested the zoning change to CG for uniformity and to expand existing office space. The RMF-35 portion is less than 15% of the 4.24 acres combined parcels’ total. Existing split-zoning requires the current (or future) property owner to be subject to different land use and building regulations. Requirements for setbacks, open space, and others may be different for one part of the property than another. This makes development on the property more difficult than with uniform zoning. Consideration 3-Master Plan and Current Zoning Considerations The Central Community Master Plan designates the front portion of the property as “Medium Density Residential” and the remainder of the property “Medium Residential/Mixed Use.” Planning staff stated The master plan supports a business-friendly environment that limits planning and zoning restrictions to those instance that provide clear and substantial benefits to residents (Central Community Master Plan, 2005 – Vision – Vital and Sustainable Commerce – Page 3). Given the overall commercial and industrial character of the area and the majority of the property already being zoned CG, no substantial benefits would be provided to neighboring residents through a denial of the changes to the master plan and zoning map amendment. Approximately 85% of the combined properties has been zoned CG since 1995, and it is Planning’s opinion a change to the remaining portion would do little to change the overall character and area impact of the site. Consideration 4-Consideration of Alternate Zoning Districts Planning staff considered several potential alternate zoning districts (R-MU, R-MU-35, R-MU-45 (Residential Mixed-Use), MU (Mixed Use), RO (Residential Office), and CB (Community Business). Each would allow expansion of the office and parking, while limiting building height and some more impactful uses allowed in the CG zone. However, other limitations such as reduced non-residential building height, extra process steps required to build an office building, or additional residential building height were Page | 4 mentioned. Planning staff noted changing the zoning district to something other than the requested CG would perpetuate the property’s split-zoning and make development more cumbersome due to dissimilar standards and requirements on different portions of the property. Planning does not recommend an alternate zoning designation than the requested CG. DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS The following table compares some development standards of the RMF-35 and CG zoning designations. Zoning Max. Building Height Lot Coverage Front Yard Rear Yard Side Yard Landscape Yards RMF-35 35 feet 45-60% depending on land use. 20 feet 25% of lot depth or 20 feet, and need not exceed 25 feet. Corner side: 10 feet Interior: 4 feet to 10 feet depending on use. Front and corner required. On multifamily, one interior side yard required. CG 60 feet Allowed up to 30 feet higher (90 feet total) through design review process. No maximum specified. 10 feet 10 feet Corner side: 10 feet Interior: none Landscape yard of 10 feet required on front and corner side yards. Additional landscaping required if height is going above 60 feet. Where a lot in CG abuts a lot in the residential district, a landscape buffer of 15 feet is required. ANALYSIS OF STANDARDS Attachment E (pages 20-22) of the Planning Commission staff report outlines master plan and zoning map amendment standards that should be considered as the Council reviews this proposal. The standards and findings are summarized below. Please see the Planning Commission staff report for additional information. Master Plan Amendments State law requires municipalities to have a master plan but does not include criteria for master plan amendments, nor does the City. However, Salt Lake City Code Section 21A.02.040 – Effect of Adopted Master Plans of General Plans addresses the issue in this way: Page | 5 All master plans or general plans adopted by the planning commission and city council for the city, or for an area of the city, shall serve as an advisory guide for land use decisions. Amendments to the text of this title or zoning map should be consistent with the purposes, goals, objectives and policies of the applicable adopted master plan or general plan of Salt Lake City. (Ord. 26-95 § 2(1-4), 1995) Planning staff found in this instance the master plan is being amended to provide consistency between the Central Community Master Plan and the subject property’s zoning designation. The request is to allow rezoning the property to a zoning district which will permit office expansion. Zoning Map Amendments Factor Finding Whether a proposed map amendment is consistent with the purposes, goals, objectives, and policies of the city as stated through its various adopted planning documents. Complies with master plan policy statements and other documents and policies adopted by the City. Whether a proposed map amendment furthers the specific purpose statements of the zoning ordinance. This has been considered and the proposal furthers the specific purpose statements of the zoning ordinance. The extent to which a proposed map amendment will affect adjacent properties The map amendment will facilitate additional development in the area, specifically expansion of the existing office building. While this may create additional impacts on neighboring properties, those impacts will be reviewed in relation to any specific future development proposal. Whether a proposed map amendment is consistent with the purposes and provisions of any applicable overlay zoning districts which may impose additional standards. Complies The adequacy of public facilities and services intended to serve the subject property, including, but not limited to, roadways, parks and recreational facilities, police and fire protection, schools, stormwater drainage systems, water supplies, and wastewater and refuse collection. The City has the ability to provide services to the subject property. The infrastructure may need to be upgraded at the owner’s expense in order to meet specific City requirements.

This project requires the following applications: 1. Master Plan Amendment (PLNPCM2021-00292) - The associated future land use map in the Central Community Master Plan currently designates the subject portion of the properties as "Medium Density Residential" while the remainder of the property is designated as "Medium Residential/Mixed Use." The petitioner is requesting to amend the future land use map so that the entire property is designated as "Medium Residential/Mixed Use". 2. Zoning Map Amendment (PLNPCM2021-00291) - The main property is currently split-zoned between RMF-35 (Moderate Density Multi-Family Residential) and GC (General Commercial) zoning on the west portion while the smaller parcel along South West Temple is fully zoned RMF-35. The petitioner is requesting to amend the zoning map designations for the properties or portions that are zoned RMF-35 to GC. This would make the zoning of the consolidated parcel uniform. The Planning Commission’s role in this application is to provide a recommendation to the City Council, who will make the final decision on the requested zoning map and master plan amendments. ⚫ Page 2 RECOMMENDATIONS: Based on the information presented in the staff report, and the analysis and findings of fact, Planning Staff recommends that the Planning Commission forward a positive recommendation to the City Council for the proposed master plan amendment and zoning map amendments as requested. ATTACHMENTS: A. Future Land Use Map B. Applicant Information C. Existing Condition & Site Photos D. Master Plans and Zoning E. Analysis of Standards F. Public Process and Comments G. Department Comments VICINITY MAP PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Reason for Request These requests are part of an overall effort to expand storage space on the property and build a new office in order to meet company needs. The property is currently split-zoned between the GC – General Commercial and RMF-35 – Moderate Density Multi-Family Residential zoning districts. In their narrative, the applicant references the Okland Construction property immediately to the south that went through a similar rezoning several years ago in order to build a new office on the portion of their property closest to South West Temple. ⚫ Page 3 The applicant has indicated a similar desire to build office space on the eastern portion of their property closer to South West Temple. The total property parcel at 1948 South West Temple is approximately 3.93 acres or 171,200 square feet in size while the smaller parcel at 1950 South West Temple is approximately 0.311 acres or 13,550 square feet in size. The eastern portion of the larger parcel (approx. 0.311 acres/13,500 SF or 8%) is zoned RMF-35 while the rest of the property (92% - 3.62 acres/157,650SF) is zoned CG. The smaller parcel at 1950 South West Temple is zoned entirely RMF-35. The RMF-35 zoning district would not allow the proposed expansion as it does not allow office uses. The intent of the proposal is to rezone the smaller eastern portion of the property and adjacent smaller parcel from the current RMF-35 zoning to GC to make the parcel zoning uniform which would allow for the changes. The project is located within the boundaries of the Ballpark Community which lies within the Central Community Master Plan area. The petitioner is requesting to amend the future land use map so that the entire property is designated as "Medium Residential/Mixed Use". This project requires both a Zoning Map and Master Plan Amendment. The applicant’s narrative explaining the rationale for the zoning map amendment request and conceptual plans can be found in Attachment B of this report. KEY CONSIDERATIONS: The key considerations associated with this proposal are: 1. Change in Zoning and Compatibility with Adjacent Properties 2. Change to CG Zoning for the Entire Parcel 3. Master Plan and Current Zoning Considerations 4. Consideration of Alternate Zoning Districts Key considerations are discussed further in the following paragraphs and were identified through the analysis of the project (Attachment D) and department review comments (Attachment F). Consideration 1: Zoning Compatibility with Adjacent Properties Properties along West Temple are predominantly zoned residential along the street face. On the east side of the street near the project area the zoning is R-1/5000 (Single-family Residential). To the north of the project area, lies Macarthur Avenue, a street of single-family residential development that is also zoned R-1/5000. To the south and west the properties are zoned CG and have been developed for a variety of commercial and light industrial uses. On the north-east corner of the subject property is a single parcel zoned RMF-35 that has been developed for multi-family uses. This property fronts on South West Temple. While the CG zoning district potentially allows more intense uses, the applicant has expressed a desire to build a new office on the property which would be allowed and supported by the CG zoning. It is also notable that the use has already existed on the majority of the property for a long time. This issue is analyzed in more detail in Attachment E: Analysis of Standards. Consideration 2: Change in Zoning to CG (General Commercial) for the Entire Parcel The applicant asked for a zone change to the CG – General Commercial zoning district in order to uniformly zone the parcel and accommodate an expansion to the existing office use. The portion of the parcel that is zoned RMF-35 together with the addition parcel zoned RMF-35 represents approximately 14.7% of the entire area of the combined parcels. This equates to approximately 0.622 acres/27,000 square feet of the total combined 4.24 acres/184,700 square foot parcel area. The current split-zoning of the property requires that ⚫ Page 4 redevelopment of the parcel for the current owner (or for a different owner in the future) would be subject to different land use and building regulations and may have different requirements for things such as open space and maximum street setback on one portion of the property compared to the other. This makes future development of the parcel more cumbersome through the imposition of non-uniform zoning and building rules on the property. Zoning the entire parcel uniformly CG would eliminate this issue. Consideration 3: Master Plan and Current Zoning Considerations The associated future land use map in the Central Community Master Plan currently designates the front portion of the property as "Medium Density Residential" while the remainder of the property is designated as "Medium Residential/Mixed Use." The petitioner is requesting to amend the future land use map so that the entire property is designated as "Medium Residential/Mixed Use". This change would apply to approximately 23% of the total 2.4 acre parcel. The master plan supports a business-friendly environment that limits planning and zoning restrictions to those instance that provide clear and substantial benefits to residents (Central Community Master Plan, 2005 – Vision – Vital and Sustainable Commerce – Page 3). Given the overall commercial and industrial character of the area and the majority of the property already being zoned CG, no substantial benefits would be provided to neighboring residents through a denial of the changes to the master plan and zoning map amendment. Staff is recommending approval of the change to the future land use map in the Master Plan to designate the property as Medium Residential/Mixed Use from the current Medium Density Residential designation. A change to CG zoning from the current RMF-35 would allow additional commercial and light industrial uses on the subject portion of the parcel that are not currently allowed. As the majority (85%) of the total combined parcel area already allows for mixed use and many more impactful commercial uses through the CG zoning district than the current zone. Changing to the CG zone to allow for the office expansion will likely do very little to change the overall character of the site. The majority of the site is already zoned CG and has been zoned CG since 1995. Rezoning the remaining property to CG would not create new impacts to the area because most of the property is already zoned CG. Staff is recommending approval of the zone change from the RMF-35 to the CG zoning district for both the portion of the CG property and the additional parcel. Consideration 4: Consideration of Alternate Zoning Districts Planning Staff considered and analyzed different zoning districts for the subject portion of the property in lieu of a change to the requested CG zoning district. A number of mixed use and other zones would allow for the expansion of the office and parking, while limiting the maximum building height and limiting some of the potentially more impactful uses allowed under the CG zoning. The other districts considered included the R- MU, R-MU-35 and R-MU-45 (Residential/Mixed Use), the MU - Mixed Use, the RO- Residential Office, and, the CB – Community Business zoning districts. While each of these districts would allow for an office on the subject portion of the property, there were notable limitations on the maximum building height allowed for non-residential buildings (limited to 20-feet in the R-MU-35/45), additional process steps required for building an office (Planning Commission approval) or they allowed additional residential building height (up to 75-feet in the R-MU zone). More notable was that a change to a district other than CG would also perpetuate the issues associated with the current split-zoning of the property. Split-zoning makes future development of the property cumbersome through the imposition of different standards and requirements on different portions of the property. For these reasons and the issues identified in the Key Issues and Analysis of Standards sections of this report, a change to an alternate zoning district in lieu of the original request is not being recommended by staff. ⚫ Page 5 DISCUSSION: The applicant has proposed to rezone a portion of their main property and an adjacent parcel from RMF-35 to GC in order to allow an expansion to their office space on the site. While the applicant has expressed a desire to expand the existing business and office, consideration must be given toward a future scenario where the entire property could be redeveloped under the CG zoning designation if the property were to be sold. The GC zoning district allows a mix of land uses including retail sales and services, entertainment, offices, heavy commercial and low intensity manufacturing and warehouse uses. It is generally located along major arterials. Some of the uses allowed in the CG zoning district may be potentially impactful to surrounding properties due to their nature and the more intense scale of activities that take place through regular operational noise, odors from operations, increased traffic for deliveries and shipping of goods, and impacts from customer traffic. However, the overall area is not low density residential in nature, and the residential component exists within a larger commercial and industrial area of the city. This area includes a number of heavy commercial/industrial uses. The property immediately to the south of this site is used for the office and some operations of Okland Construction. Their own use includes material and equipment storage that is more intense than the envisioned office uses on the subject area of the property. The Okland site was rezoned in 2017 from a split zoning of RMF-35 to CG that was very similar to the conditions on the subject property. Upon rezoning, Okland constructed a new office closer to South West Temple on the rezoned portion of their property. The Intermountain Wood property has essentially the same limitations as was present on the adjacent property and the owners have expressed a desire to rezone for similar reasons and construct new office closer to South West Temple in order to meet company needs. Given the nature of the site and that the majority of the property already allows more impactful uses in the CG zone to take place, changing the front of the property and additional parcel to uniformly zone it and allow for the office expansion will do little to change the overall character of the site and will not substantially increase current or potential impacts. NEXT STEPS: The Planning Commission’s recommendation will be forwarded to the City Council for their consideration as part of the final decision on these petitions. If ultimately approved, the applicant may proceed with the submission of plans for the project. If ultimately denied, the applicant would still be eligible to develop the properties in accordance with the respective zoning regulations for each existing zoning. ⚫ Page 6 ATTACHMENT A: Zoning Map and Future Land Use Map ⚫ Page 7 ⚫ Page 8 ATTACHMENT B: Applicant Information The narrative and other exhibits found on the following pages were submitted by the applicant in relation to the requested zoning map and master plan changes. ⚫ Page 9 ATTACHMENT C: Existing Conditions & Site Photographs This proposal involves two parcels, the larger one which is approximately 3.93 acres in size and a smaller adjacent parcel of approximately 0.311 acres. The larger parcel is currently split-zoned between GC and RMF-35 zoning while the smaller parcel is entirely zoned RMF-35. On the larger parcel, approximately 92% of the parcel is already zoned CG while the remaining 8% is zoned RMF-35. Adjacent land uses and zoning include: North: Single-family residential development on MacArthur Avenue – zoned R-1/5000 (Single- family Residential). South: Zoned CG (General Commercial). This property has been developed for commercial purposes and houses the offices and some operations of Okland Construction. East: On the east side of South West Temple properties are zoned R-1/5000 (Single-family Residential) and have been developed as single-family homes. To the immediate east of the subject property on the same side of South West Temple is a single parcel zoned RMF-35 that has been developed for multi-family housing. West: To the west of the subject property, properties are zoned CG (General Commercial) and have been developed for a variety of commercial and industrial uses. The overall development pattern of the area is not strictly a residential neighborhood, but is a mix of commercial, industrial and residential uses based on the existing development and uses. While there is some residential development, it exists within a larger area that is generally not predominantly residential in nature. This is illustrated on the Zoning Map and Future Land Use Map in Attachment A of this report.

This includes the development of a diverse mix of uses which is essential to accommodate responsible growth. At the same time, compatibility, that is how new development fits into the scale and character of existing neighborhoods is an important consideration. New development should be sensitive to the context of surrounding development while also providing opportunities for new growth. Guiding Principles specifically outlined in Plan Salt Lake include the following: • Growing responsibly while providing people with choices about where they live, how they live, and how they get around. • A beautiful city that is people focused. • A balanced economy that produces quality jobs and foster an environment for commerce, local business, and industry to thrive. The proposed zoning map amendment and overall project will help to implement the vision contained in Plan Salt Lake and are supported by the policies and strategies in that document cited above. CENTRAL COMMUNITY MASTER PLAN ELEMENTS The subject area is discussed in the Central Community Master Plan (CCMP - 2005). More specifically, it is located with the People’s Freeway Neighborhood Planning Area, a district characterized by a mixture of low- density residential, and major manufacturing and commercial uses. The location of I-15 and railway lines through the area supports many commercial and industrial uses. The future land use map in the CCMP shows the subject area of the parcel as being medium density residential which allows for 15-30 dwelling units per acre. This corresponds to the current RMF-35 zoning. The map also shows the west part of the property as medium residential/mixed use which would allow for 10-50 dwelling units per acre. This corresponds to the majority of the property which is currently zoned CG. The CCMP includes this vision statement related to vital and sustainable commerce: Limiting planning and zoning restrictions on businesses to those instances that provide clear and substantial benefits to residents to sustain a business-friendly environment. The residential land use policies in the CCMP include RLU 1.5 which speaks to using residential mixed use zones to support commercial and small-scale office uses while monitoring the mix of uses to preserve the residential component. The Commercial Land Use policies in the CCMP (CLU-4.0 – Ensure commercial land uses are compatible with neighboring properties) include items relating to ensuring that commercial land development does not disrupt existing low-density residential neighborhoods and to the preservation of viable residential structures that contribute to the fabric and character of the neighborhood. In this case, the overall area is not low-density residential in character but rather part of a larger overall commercial and industrial area. The master plan recognizes the mix of manufacturing and commercial uses that predominate in the area while also including some low-density residential uses. This pattern is expected to continue. The project is in alignment with the predicted future land uses in the area as reflected in the master plan. ⚫ Page 13 ZONING COMPARISON SUMMARY Existing Zoning – RMF-35 – Moderate Density Multi-Family Residential Purpose Statement: The purpose of the RMF-35 Moderate Density Multi-Family Residential District is to provide an environment suitable for a variety of moderate density housing types, including single-family, two-family, and multi-family dwellings with a maximum height of thirty five feet (35'). This district is appropriate in areas where the applicable Master Plan policies recommend a density of less than thirty (30) dwelling units per acre. This district includes other uses that are typically found in a multi-family residential neighborhood of this density for the purpose of serving the neighborhood. Uses are intended to be compatible with the existing scale and intensity of the neighborhood. The standards for the district are intended to provide for safe and comfortable places to live and play, promote sustainable and compatible development patterns and to preserve the existing character of the neighborhood. The RMF-35 zoning district allows for multi-family, single-family and twin-home development but prohibits retail and office uses as defined in Chapter 21A.33.020. RMF-35 Development Standards (21A.24.130) MAX. BUILDING HEIGHT LOT COVERAGE FRONT YARD REAR YARD SIDE YARD LANDSCAPE YARDS 35-feet 45-60% depending on land use 20-feet 25% of lot depth or 20 feet and need not exceed 25-feet Corner side: 10 feet Interior: 4 feet to 10 feet depending on use. Front and corner required. On multifamily, one interior side yard required. Proposed Zoning – CG – General Commercial Zoning District Purpose Statement: The purpose of the CG General Commercial District is to provide an environment for a variety of commercial uses, some of which involve the outdoor display/storage of merchandise or materials. This district provides economic development opportunities through a mix of land uses, including retail sales and services, entertainment, office, residential, heavy commercial and low intensities of manufacturing and warehouse uses. This district is appropriate in locations where supported by applicable master plans and along major arterials. Safe, convenient and inviting connections that provide access to businesses from public sidewalks, bike paths and streets are necessary. Access should follow a hierarchy that places the pedestrian first, bicycle second and automobile third. The standards are intended to create a safe and aesthetically pleasing commercial environment for all users. The CG zoning district allows for a wide variety of commercial uses including warehouses, outdoor storage, food production and larger scale retail operations among other uses as defined in Chapter 21A.33.030. ⚫ Page 14 CG Development Standards (21A.24.070) MAX. BUILDING HEIGHT LOT COVERAGE FRONT YARD REAR YARD SIDE YARD LANDSCAPE YARDS 60 feet. Allowed to go up to 30 feet higher (to 90 feet) through Design Review process. No maximum specified. 10-feet 10-feet Corner side: 10 feet Interior: None Landscape yard of 10-feet required on front and corner side yards. Additional landscaping required if height is going above 60-feet. Where a lot in CG abuts a lot in the residential district, a landscape buffer of 15-feet is required. ⚫ Page 15 ATTACHMENT E: ANALYSIS OF STANDARDS MASTER PLAN AMENDMENTS State Law, Utah Code Annotated, Title 10 Chapter 9a, requires that all municipalities have a master plan. However, there is no specific criteria relating to master plan amendments. The City does not have specific criteria relating to master plan amendments. However, City Code Section 21A.02.040 – Effect of Adopted Master Plans or General Plans addresses this issue in the following way: All master plans or general plans adopted by the planning commission and city council for the city, or for an area of the city, shall serve as an advisory guide for land use decisions. Amendments to the text of this title or zoning map should be consistent with the purposes, goals, objectives and policies of the applicable adopted master plan or general plan of Salt Lake City. (Ord. 26-95 § 2(1- 4), 1995) In this case, the master plan is being amended in order to provide consistency between the Central Community Master Plan and the zoning designation of the subject property. This request facilitates a rezoning of the property to a district that will allow the office expansion on the subject property. State Law does include a required process in relation to a public hearing and recommendation from the Planning Commission in relation to a master plan amendment. The required process and noticing requirements have been met. ⚫ Page 16 ZONING MAP AMENDMENTS 21A.50.050: A decision to amend the text of this title or the zoning map by general amendment is a matter committed to the legislative discretion of the city council and is not controlled by any one standard. In making a decision to amend the zoning map, the City Council should consider the following: Factor Finding Rationale 1. Whether a proposed map amendment is consistent with the purposes, goals, objectives, and policies of the city as stated through its various adopted planning documents; Complies with Master Plan policy statements and other documents and policies adopted by the City. The Central Community Master Plan (CCMP) speaks to limiting planning and zoning restrictions on businesses to those instances that provide clear and substantial benefits to residents to sustain a business- friendly environment. Consideration must be given in regard to the appropriateness of the CG zoning district and the potential impacts it may have for this area if the CG zoning were to be expanded. Staff believes that based on the existing land uses and the adopted master plan, that rezoning the front of the parcel to CG as requested is appropriate for the following reasons: • The property is located within a larger commercial and industrial of the city that accommodates a number of heavy commercial and industrial uses. The area is not solely residential in nature. • The majority of the property is already zoned CG. The split- zoning on the property makes future development cumbersome through the imposition of different standards and requirements on different portions of the property. • Since the majority of the property allows for CG uses, changing the front of the property to uniformly zone it and allow for the office expansion will do little to change the overall character of the site and will not substantially increase current or potential impacts. A change to the CG zoning district is supported by the proposed amendments to the master plan. 2. Whether a proposed map amendment furthers the specific purpose statements of the zoning ordinance. This has been considered and the proposal furthers the specific purpose statements of the zoning ordinance. The proposed zone change from RMF-35 to CG would support the specific purposes of the zoning ordinance. The change would help protect the tax base (E.) while helping to support the city’s business development (G.) The purpose of the Zoning Ordinance is to promote the health, safety, morals, convenience, order, prosperity and welfare of the present and future inhabitants of Salt Lake City, to implement the adopted plans of the city, and, in addition: A. Lessen congestion in the streets or roads; B. Secure safety from fire and other dangers; C. Provide adequate light and air; D. Classify land uses and distribute land development and utilization; E. Protect the tax base; F. Secure economy in governmental expenditures; G. Foster the city's industrial, business and residential development; and H. Protect the environment. (Ord. 26-95 § 2(1-3), 1995) ⚫ Page 17 3. The extent to which a proposed map amendment will affect adjacent properties; The map amendment will facilitate additional development in the area, specifically expansion of the existing office building. While this may create additional impacts on neighboring properties, those impacts will be reviewed in relation to any specific future development proposal. The proposed GC zoning district would allow a mix of land uses including heavy commercial and low intensity manufacturing and warehouse uses along with residential uses. Some of the uses allowed in the CG zoning district may be potentially impactful to surrounding uses due to their nature and the more intense scale of activities that take place through regular operational noise, odors from operations, increased traffic for deliveries and shipping of goods, and impacts from customer traffic. It should be noted that the area is not low density residential in nature and that the use has already existed on the majority of the property for a long time and that the community and neighboring property owners have expressed support for the proposal to rezone the property and allow an expansion of the existing office building. 4. Whether a proposed map amendment is consistent with the purposes and provisions of any applicable overlay zoning districts which may impose additional standards Complies The property is not located within an overlay zoning district that imposes additional standards. 5. The adequacy of public facilities and services intended to serve the subject property, including, but not limited to, roadways, parks and recreational facilities, police and fire protection, schools, stormwater drainage systems, water supplies, and wastewater and refuse collection. The city has the ability to provide services to the subject property. The infrastructure may need to be upgraded at the owner’s expense in order to meet specific City requirements. The proposed development of the subject properties was reviewed by the various city departments tasked with administering public facilities and services, and the Public Utilities Department identified some issues that are outlined in Attachment G: Department Comments that relate to the water, sewer and storm water connections and infrastructure on the site. If the rezone is approved, the proposal will need to comply with the applicable requirements. Public Utilities and other departments will also be asked to review any specific development proposals submitted at that time. ⚫ Page 18 ATTACHMENT F: Public Process and Comments Public Notice, Meetings, Comments The following is a list of public meetings that have been held, and other public input opportunities, related to the proposed project: • Notice of the project and request for comments sent to the Chair of the Ball Park Community Council on April 14, 2021. • Staff sent an early notification announcement of the project to all residents and property owners located within 300 feet of the project site on April 14, 2021 providing notice about the project and information on how to give public input on the project. • Staff hosted an online Open House to solicit public comments on the proposal. The Online Open House period started on April 14, 2021 and ended on June 1, 2021. • Staff and the applicant attended an online meeting of the Ball Park on May 6, 2021. • The 45-day recognized organization comment period expired on June 1, 2021. Notice of the public hearing for the proposal included: • Public hearing notice mailed on: July 29, 2021 • Public hearing notice sign posted on property: July 29, 2021 • Public notice posted on City & State websites and Planning Division list serve: July 29, 2021 Public Input: As of the date of this staff report, the following comments were submitted in regard to the proposed changes. • Steven Miles – via email 04/30/2021: I live near Intermountain Wood. I am worried about more noise at night from them if they are expanded. • George Chapman – via email 5/11/2021: I am against the proposal since there is no guarantee that the rezone will not negatively impact the single family homes on the street. The potential negative impacts are increased traffic going into or parking on the street and there is a proposal to remove parking on West Temple for the cycle track in 2024. In addition, the rezone would allow monster class heights and without a limit of 40 feet, the rezone is inappropriate for the adjacent single family home areas. Adjacent properties should not have a large increase in zoning or height. That is why there is supposed to be a gradual rise in height from single family areas. The nearby Okland building works since the parking lot is more convenient than parking on the street and the building and entrance is set up so that neighbors are not impacted. I believe that the neighbors, if and when they understand the potential negative impact of this proposal, will be against it without a significant guarantee that the building height and design will not impact the street and neighbors. • Jana Kelsch – phone call approximately 07-13-2021 Had questions about the process and what was being planned as well as the general impact of changes. ⚫ Page 19 At the Ball Park CC meeting of May 6, 2021, several attendees expressed concern about the potential maximum height of any new development on the property and suggested that City Council consider a maximum height limit if the zoning were to be changed. Councilman Darin Mano was in attendance at the Ball Park CC meeting and suggested that such a height limit could be accommodated through a development agreement. A development agreement is a City Council matter and decision and not under the purview of the Planning Commission. It is mentioned here for the purposes of documenting the public input and comments made at the Ball Park CC meeting of May 6, 2021. ⚫ Page 20 ATTACHMENT G: Department Comments CITY DEPARTMENT COMMENTS Engineering: No objections.

BUDGET IMPACT: None BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: The Banks Group, LLC, property owner is requesting that the City amend the zoning map and associated future land use map for the property located at 1950 South West Temple and a portion of the property located at 1948 South West Temple. The property at 1948 South West Temple is currently split-zoned between the RMF-35 (Moderate Density Multi-Family Residential) zone and the CG (General Commercial) zone. The entire parcel Lisa Shaffer (Mar 8, 2022 15:18 MST)03/08/2022 03/08/2022 at 1950 South West Temple is zoned RMF-35. The requests are part of an effort to expand the existing Intermountain Wood Products operation into a new office building with uniform zoning on their properties. Through the zoning amendment request the identified properties would be amended from RMF-35 to CG – General Commercial. The Central Community Master Plan Future Land Use Map designates the properties as "Medium Density Residential". The petitioner is requesting to amend the future land use map for the parcels to "Medium Residential/ Mixed Use". No specific site development proposal has been submitted at this time. The subject properties are highlighted on the map exhibit below.

Published: ___________________. Salt Lake City Attorney’s Office Approved As To Form _________________________ Jaysen Oldroyd Date:____________________ MEMO | March 11, 2022 To: Salt Lake City Public Library Board of Directors, Salt Lake City Administration and City Council From: Deborah Ehrman, Interim Executive Director Re: Budget Amendment 1 for FY2021-22 Library Administration is requesting a $500,000 increase to the FY22 general fund budget. This increase is required to budget and account for pass-through property tax revenue collected by Salt Lake County and remitted directly to the Utah Inland Port Authority and the Convention Facility. Neither of these entities has taxing authority, so the respective governments with taxing authority to which the tax revenues would have gone must show the revenue and a corresponding expenditure in their financial statements as required by Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statements 33 and 77. This requirement was noted as part of the Salt Lake City’s FY 2020 audit, and the issue has been discussed with Paul Skeen, the Library’s independent auditor, and Seth Oveson from the Office of the State Auditor of Utah, both of whom confirmed this requirement. A similar budget amendment was requested at the end of FY21. An estimate of these pass-through funds has been included in the FY23 proposed budget, but knowledge of this requirement came at the end of FY21 after the FY22 budget had been approved by the Board and submitted to the Salt Lake City Administration and City Council. Administration is requesting that this amendment be approved at the March 28, 2022 meeting, so the amendment can be forwarded to the Salt Lake City Administration and City Council. The amendment is time sensitive and needs to be approved by both the Library Board and Salt Lake City Council prior to the end of FY2022.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: In accordance with provisions of the Local Government Bonding Act, the City is required to hold a public a hearing to receive input from the public for all new money bond issues with respect to: 1) the issuance of our revenue bonds; and 2) the potential economic impact that the water and sewer infrastructure improvements will have on the private sector. The financing team is requesting that the City Council approve the Bond Parameters Resolution on May 3,2022 setting May 24,2022 as the date to hold the public hearing. A Notice of Public Hearing is required to be published once at least 14 days before the public hearing. The publication of that notice is scheduled for May 8, 2022. The Bond Parameters Resolution for the above referenced bond issue contemplates the issuance of up to $360,000,000 principal amount of bonds bearing interest at a rate not to exceed 6% per annum with a price not less than 98% of the total principal amount and a bond period not to exceed 31 years. The revenue bonds will finance a portion of the capital improvements for water and sewer. The sewer proceeds will serve as the planned match for the Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (WIFIA) loan for construction of the water reclamation facility to meet regulatory requirements. Water improvements include distribution mains, treatments plants, and master plan projects. Draft copies of the Bond Parameters Resolution, Eleventh Supplemental Trust Indenture, Bond Purchase Contract, Preliminary Official, Statement, preliminary calendar of events, and estimated debt service schedule are included for your review. These documents are subject to change.

The Bonds shall mature on the dates and in the amounts and shall bear interest as set forth on Exhibit A hereto and shall be as more particularly described in the Indenture and the Official Statement dated __________, 2022, relating to the Bonds (which, together with all exhibits and appendices included therein or attached thereto and such amendments or supplements thereto which shall be approved by the Representative, is hereinafter called the “Official Statement”). 4868-7022-5430, v. 1 2 The Bonds are being executed and delivered to (a) finance improvements to the City’s [water, sewer, storm drain and street lighting utilities] (collectively, the “System”) and (b) pay costs of issuance of the Series 2022 Bonds. 3. Public Offering. The Underwriters agree to make an initial public offering of all the Bonds at the public offering prices (or yields) set forth in the Official Statement. Subsequent to the initial public offering, the Underwriters reserve the right to change the public offering prices (or yields) as they deem necessary in connection with the marketing of the Bonds, provided that the Underwriters shall not change the interest rates set forth on Exhibit A. The Bonds may be offered and sold to certain dealers at prices lower than such initial public offering price or prices set forth in the Official Statement. The Underwriter s also reserve the right (i) to engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of the Bonds at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market and (ii) to discontinue such transactions, if commenced, at any time. 4. Establishment of Issue Price. (a) The Representative, on behalf of the U nderwriters, agrees to assist the City in establishing the issue price of the Bonds and shall execute and deliver to the City at Closing an “issue price” or similar certificate, together with the supporting pricing wires or equivalent communications, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, with such modifications as may be appropriate or necessary, in the reasonable judgment of the Representative, the City and Bond Counsel, to accurately reflect, as applicable, the sales price or prices or the initial offering price or prices to the public of the Bonds. (b) Except for any Hold-the-Price Maturities described in subsection (c) below and Exhibit A attached hereto, the City will treat the first price at which 10% of each maturity of the Bonds (the “10% test”) is sold to the public as the issue price of that maturity (if different interest rates apply within a maturity, each separate CUSIP number within that maturity will be subject to the 10% test). Exhibit A attached hereto sets forth the maturities of the Bonds for which the 10% test has been satisfied as of the date of this Purchase Contract (the “10% Test Maturities”) and the prices at which the Underwriters have sold such 10% Test Maturities to the public. (c) With respect to any maturities of the Bonds that are not 10% Test Maturities, as described in Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Hold-the-Price Maturities”), the Representative confirms that the Underwriters have offered such maturities of the Bonds to the public on or before the date of this Purchase Contract at the offering price or prices (the “initial offering price”), or at the corresponding yield or yields, set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto.

So long as the hold-the-offering-price rule remains applicable to any maturity of the Hold-the- Price Maturities, the Representative will neither offer nor sell unsold bonds of such maturity of the Hold-the-Price Maturities to any person at a price that is higher than the initial offering price to the public during the period starting on the sale date and ending on the earlier of the following: (i) the close of the fifth (5th) business day after the sale date; or (ii) the date on which the Representative has sold at least 10% of that maturity of the Hold-the-Price Maturities to the public at a price that is no higher than the initial offering price to the public. The Representative shall advise the City promptly after the close of the fifth (5th) business day after the sale date whether it has sold 10% of that maturity of the Hold - the-Price Maturities to the public at a price that is no higher than the initial offering price to the public. (d) The Representative confirms that: (i) any agreement among underwriters, any selling group agreement and each third-party distribution agreement (to which the Representative is a party) relating to the initial sale of the Bonds to the public, together with the related pricing wires, contains or will contain language obligating each underwriter, each dealer who is a member of the selling group and each broker-dealer that is a party to such third-party distribution agreement, as applicable: (A)(i) to report the prices at which it sells to the public the unsold Bonds of each maturity allocated to it, whether or not the Closing Date has occurred, until either a ll Bonds of that maturity allocated to it have been sold or it is notified by the Representative that the 10% test has been satisfied as to the Bonds of that maturity, provided that, the reporting obligation after the Closing Date may be at reasonable periodic intervals or otherwise upon request of the Representative, and (ii) to comply with the hold-the-offering-price rule, if applicable, if and for so long as directed by the Representative and as set forth in the related pricing wires, (B) to promptly notify the Representative of any sales of Bonds that, to its knowledge, are made to a purchaser who is a related party to an underwriter participating in the initial sale of the Bonds to the public (each such term being used as defined below), (C) to acknowledge that, unless otherwise advised by the underwriter, dealer or broker-dealer, the Representative shall assume that each order submitted by the underwriter, dealer or broker-dealer is a sale to the public. 4868-7022-5430, v. 1 4 (ii) any agreement among underwriters or selling group agreement relating to the initial sale of the Bonds to the public, together with the related pricing wires, contains or will contain language obligating each underwriter or dealer that is a party to a third-party distribution agreement to be employed in connection with the initial sale of the Bonds to the public to require each broker-dealer that is a party to such third-party distribution agreement to (A) report the prices at which it sells to the public the unsold Bonds of each maturity allocated to it, whether or not the Closing Date has occurred, until either all Bonds of that maturity allocated to it have been sold or it is notified by the Representative or such underwriter or dealer that the 10% test has been satisfied as to the Bonds of that m aturity, provided that, the reporting obligation after the Closing Date may be at reasonable periodic intervals or otherwise upon request of the Representative or such underwriter or dealer, and (B) comply with the hold - the-offering-price rule, if applicable, if and for so long as directed by the Representative or the underwriter or the dealer and as set forth in the related pricing wires. (e) The City acknowledges that, in making the representations set forth in this subsection, the Representative will rely on (i) the agreement of each underwriter to comply with the requirements for establishing the issue price of the Bonds, including, but not limited to, its agreement to comply with the hold -the- offering-price rule, if applicable to the Bonds, as set forth in an agreement among underwriters and the related pricing wires, (ii) in the event a selling group has been created in connection with the initial sale of the Bonds to the public, the agreement of each dealer who is a member of the selling group to comply wi th the requirements for establishing issue price of the Bonds, including, but not limited to, its agreement to comply with the hold-the-offering-price rule, if applicable to the Bonds, as set forth in a selling group agreement and the related pricing wires , and (iii) in the event that an underwriter or dealer who is a member of the selling group is a party to a third-party distribution agreement that was employed in connection with the initial sale of the Bonds to the public, the agreement of each broker-dealer that is a party to such agreement to comply with the requirements for establishing the issue price of the Bonds, including, but not limited to, its agreement to comply with the hold-the-offering-price rule, if applicable to the Bonds, as set forth in the third-party distribution agreement and the related pricing wires. The City further acknowledges that each underwriter shall be solely liable for its failure to comply with its agreement to adhere to the requirements for establishing issue price of the Bonds, including, but not limited to, its agreement to comply with the hold-the-offering-price rule, if applicable to the Bonds, and that no underwriter shall be liable for the failure of any other underwriter, or of any dealer who is a member of a selling group, or of any broker-dealer that is a party to a third-party distribution agreement, to comply with its corresponding agreement to comply with the requirements for establishing the issue price of the Bonds, including, but not limited to, its agreement to comply with the hold-the-offering-price rule, if applicable to the Bonds. 4868-7022-5430, v. 1 5 (f) The Underwriters acknowledge that sales of any Bonds to any person that is a related party to an underwriter participating in the initial sale of the Bonds to the public (each such term being used as defined below) shall not constitute sales to the public for purposes of this section. Further, for purposes of this section: (i) “public” means any person other than an underwriter or a related party, (ii) “underwriter” means (A) any person that agrees pursuant to a written contract with the City (or with the lead underwriter to form an underwriting syndicate) to participate in the initial sale of the Bonds to the public and (B) any person that agrees pursuant to a written contract d irectly or indirectly with a person described in clause (A) to participate in the initial sale of the Bonds to the public (including a member of a selling group or a party to a third-party distribution agreement participating in the initial sale of the Bonds to the public), (iii) a purchaser of any of the Bonds is a “related party” to an underwriter if the underwriter and the purchaser are subject, directly or indirectly, to (A) more than 50% common ownership of the voting power or the total value of their stock, if both entities are corporations (including direct ownership by one corporation of another), (B) more than 50% common ownership of their capital interests or profits interests, if both entities are partnerships (including direct ownership by one partnership of another), or (C) more than 50% common ownership of the value of the outstanding stock of the corporation or the capital interests or profit interests of the partnership, as applicable, if one entity is a corporation and the other entity is a partnership (including direct ownership of the applicable stock or interests by one entity of the other), and (iv) “sale date” means the date of execution of this Purchase Contract by all parties. 5.

(Source: The Municipal Advisor.) 10 4867-1497-0902, v. 2 SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT FOR THE BONDS General The Series 2022 Bonds and all other Bonds issued under the Master Indenture will be secured equally and ratably by the Net Revenues and funds pledged therefor pursuant to the Master Indenture. The Series 2022 Bonds are special obligations of the City, payable exclusively from the Revenues, moneys, securities and funds pledged therefor in the Indenture, after the payment from such Revenues of Operation and Maintenance Costs of the System. “Revenues” means all revenues, connection fees, income, rents and receipts derived by the City from or attributable to the System, including all interest, profits or other income derived from the investment of any moneys held pursuant to the Indenture and the proceeds of any interest subsidy with respect to the Bonds. Revenues do not include proceeds received on insurance resulting from casualty damage to assets of the System or the proceeds of sale of bonds, notes or other obligations issued for System purposes. “Net Revenues” means, for any period, the Revenues for such period less the Operation and Maintenance Costs (as defined in APPENDIX B). In the case of an Event of Default under the Indenture, the Series 2022 Bonds are not subject to acceleration. NEITHER THE FAITH AND CREDIT NOR THE TAXING POWER OF THE CITY IS PLEDGED AS SECURITY FOR THE SERIES 2022 BONDS, AND THE SERIES 2022 BONDS DO NOT CONSTITUTE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS OF THE CITY OR OF ANY OTHER ENTITY OR BODY, MUNICIPAL, STATE OR OTHERWISE. THE INDENTURE DOES NOT MORTGAGE OR OTHERWISE PLEDGE ANY SYSTEM PROPERTIES. No Debt Service Reserve Requirement The Eleventh supplemental indenture provides that there will be no Debt Service Reserve Requirement for the Series 2022 Bonds. Certain of the Outstanding Parity Bonds have a covenant to fund a debt service reserve fund for the related bonds under certain circumstances. However, if funded, such debt service reserves will not secure the Series 2022 Bonds. Flow of Funds The Revenues are to be deposited by the City in the Revenue Fund. On or before the fourth Business Day prior to the end of each month, after the payment of unpaid Operation and Maintenance Costs then due, the City will transfer from the Revenue Fund, to the extent of money available therein, and deposit into the following Fund and Accounts the amounts set forth below: (a) in the Principal and Interest Fund (i) for credit to the Bond Service Account, the amount, if any, required so that the balance therein meets the Debt Service requirements on any outstanding Bonds (provided that if there are not sufficient moneys in the Revenue Fund to satisfy the requirements of this provision (i) with respect to all Series Subaccounts in the Bond Service Account, all moneys available for distribution among such Series Subaccounts will be deposited into the Bond Service Account and distributed pro rata based on the amount of the deficiencies to the deficient Series Subaccounts in the Bond Service Account, and provided further, there shall be allowances for amounts transferred from the Construction Fund to pay capitalized interest); and (ii) for credit to the Debt Service Reserve Account, such amounts as are required by the Master Indenture and any Supplemental Indenture for each Series of Bonds (provided that if there are not sufficient moneys in the Revenue Fund to satisfy the requirements of this provision (ii) all moneys available for distribution among the Series Subaccounts in the Debt Service Reserve Account will be deposited into the Debt Service Reserve Account and distributed pro rata based on the amount of deficiencies to the deficient Series Subaccounts in the Debt Service Reserve Account) (see “APPENDIX B— Flow of Funds”); and (b) in the Renewal and Replacement Fund the amounts necessary to fund the Renewal and Replacement Fund Reserve Requirement. The Renewal and Replacement Fund Reserve Requirement currently is $0. 11 4867-1497-0902, v. 2 Notwithstanding the foregoing, no deposits will be required into the Principal and Interest Fund so long as there is held in the Principal and Interest Fund an amount sufficient to pay in full all outstanding Bonds in accordance with their terms. Amounts remaining in the Revenue Fund at the end of each month after payment of the amounts set forth above may be applied by the City, free and clear of the lien of the Indenture, to any lawful purpose of the City. It has been the City Council’s practice to keep such amounts for use within the System. For a more detailed discussion of the flow of funds under the Indenture, please see “Flow of Funds” in APPENDIX B. Rate Covenant The City covenants in the Master Indenture that for so long as any Bonds remain outstanding the City will establish and collect rates and charges for System services that, together with other available income from the System, are reasonably expected to produce Net Revenues for the forthcoming Fiscal Year (i) equal to at least (a) 1.25 times the Aggregate Debt Service for such forthcoming Fiscal Year on all Bonds outstanding and (b) the Repayment Obligations, if any, that are due and payable during the forthcoming Fiscal Year and (ii) sufficient to fund the Debt Service Reserve Account at the times, rates and in the manner specified in the Master Indenture (collectively, the “Rate Covenant Requirement”). See “HISTORICAL AND PROJECTED SUMMARY OF THE DEPARTMENT’S REVENUES AND EXPENSES” herein. Outstanding Parity Bonds Upon the issuance of the Series 2022 Bonds, the Outstanding Parity Bonds will be outstanding under the Master Indenture in the total aggregate principal amount of $586,575,000. The Series 2022 Bonds, the Outstanding Parity Bonds, and any Additional Bonds hereafter issued pursuant to the provisions of the Master Indenture are equally and ratably secured under the terms of the Master Indenture. Additional Bonds Additional Bonds may be issued under the Master Indenture by the City only upon the satisfaction of various conditions specified in the Master Indenture. The amount of Additional Bonds that may be issued under the Master Indenture is not limited by law or the Master Indenture. In connection with the issuance of Additional Bonds to finance the construction of a Project, the City is required to file, among other things, the following documents with the Trustee: (a) a certificate of the City setting forth the then estimated completion date and the then estimated cost of construction of the Project being financed by the Additional Bonds; (b) either: (i) a certificate of the City either for the City’s most recent Fiscal Year or for any Year during the most recent 18 months showing that the Net Revenues for such period would not be less than the Rate Covenant Requirement with respect to all Bonds to be outstanding at any time during the Year next following the issuance of the Additional Bonds and the Repayment Obligations to be outstanding at any time during the Year next following the issuance of the Additional Bonds; or (ii) (A)(I) an Accountant’s Certificate, (II) an Engineer’s Certificate or (III) any combination of (I) and (II) setting forth the Estimated Net Revenues (assuming the completion of the Project on its then estimated completion date) for whichever of the following periods shall extend until the latest date: (1) if the Supplemental Indenture authorizing the Additional Bonds requires that interest on the Additional Bonds be capitalized until a certain date in accordance with the Indenture, for each of the two Fiscal Years succeeding such date, or (2) if the Supplemental Indenture authorizing the Additional Bonds does not require that interest on the Additional Bonds 12 4867-1497-0902, v. 2 be capitalized, for the then current Fiscal Year and each succeeding Fiscal Year to and including the third Fiscal Year succeeding the date of issuance of the Additional Bonds; and (B) a certificate of the City showing the Aggregate Debt Service for each of the Fiscal Years set forth in the certificate or certificates described in subparagraph (A) above and showing that the Estimated Net Revenues as shown in such certificate or certificates for each of such Fiscal Years are not less than the Rate Covenant Requirement for each of such Fiscal Years after the issuance of the Additional Bonds. In connection with the issuance of Additional Bonds to refund all or a part of the outstanding Bonds of one or more series, the City is required to deliver to the Trustee: (a) a certificate of the City stating that the issuance of such Additional Bonds complies with the requirements of the Indenture and either (i) a Certificate of the City setting forth the Aggregate Debt Service for each Fiscal Year to and including the Fiscal Year in which occurs the latest maturity of the Bonds to be refunded or the Additional Bonds, whichever is later, (A) with respect to the Bonds to be refunded and (B) with respect to the Additional Bonds, and stating that the Aggregate Debt Service for any Fiscal Year set forth pursuant to clause (B) is no greater than the Aggregate Debt Service for any Fiscal Year set forth pursuant to clause (A); or (ii) an Accountant’s Certificate (A) setting forth for the latest Fiscal Year preceding the delivery of the Additional Bonds for which Fiscal Year an audited financial report is available, the Net Revenues for such period, and (B) showing that such Net Revenues for such year would not be less than the Rate Covenant Requirement (for each Fiscal Year to and including the Fiscal Year in which occurs the latest maturity of the Additional Bonds). (b) irrevocable instructions to the Trustee to give notice of redemption of all of the Bonds to be refunded on the redemption date or dates specified in such instructions; (c) if the Bonds to be refunded are not by their terms subject to redemption within the next 60 days, irrevocable instructions to the Trustee to mail notice to the holders of the Bonds being refunded pursuant to the Indenture; (d) either (i) moneys in an amount sufficient to effect payment at the applicable Redemption Price of the Bonds to be refunded, together with accrued interest on such Bonds to the redemption date, or (ii) Investment Securities in such principal amounts, of such maturities and bearing such interest as shall be sufficient together with the moneys, if any, deposited at the same time, to pay when due the principal or Redemption Price, if applicable, and interest due and to become due on the Bonds to be refunded on and prior to the redemption date or maturity date thereof as the case may be; and (e) if the Additional Bonds to be issued are Cross-Over Refunding Bonds, the Supplemental Indenture providing for the issuance of the Additional Bonds shall, in addition to all other requirements of paragraphs (a), (b), (c) and (d), provide: (i) that until the Cross-Over Date neither principal of nor interest on the Cross-Over Refunding Bonds shall be payable from or secured by a pledge of the Revenues, but shall be payable solely from the escrow provided for under the Utah Refunding Bond Act; and (ii) there shall be filed with the Trustee an Accountant’s Certificate demonstrating the sufficiency of the moneys and investments in the escrow provided for under the Utah Refunding Bond Act to pay principal of and interest on the Cross-Over Refunding Bonds to the Cross-Over Date (which Cross-Over Date may, at the option of the City, be extended as provided in the Supplemental Indenture providing for the issuance of the Cross-Over Refunding Bonds, but only upon filing a revised Accountant’s Certificate which demonstrates that the moneys and investments then in the escrow will be sufficient to pay principal of and interest on the Cross-over Refunding Bonds to the extended Cross-Over Date). 13 4867-1497-0902, v. 2 In addition, one or more Series of Bond Anticipation Notes, payable on a parity with all Outstanding Bonds (except as provided below), may be authenticated and delivered upon original issuance from time to time in such Principal amount for each such Series as may be determined by the City for the purpose of paying or providing for the payment of all or a portion of the Cost of Construction of a Project, or the refunding of Bond Anticipation Notes, or a combination of such purpose. Each Supplemental Indenture authorizing the issuance of a Series of Bond Anticipation Notes (i) shall specify the Project for which the proceeds of such Series of Bond Anticipation Notes will be applied, and (ii) may require the City to deposit a specified amount of money from the proceeds of the sale of such Series of Bond Anticipation Notes into a Project Account in the Construction Fund to pay when due all or a portion of the interest on such Series of Bond Anticipation Notes accrued and to accrue to the Estimated Completion, plus interest to accrue on such Series of Bond Anticipation Notes after the Estimated Completion Date for up to one Year (or such different period as may then be permitted by law. If so provided in the Supplemental Indenture providing for the issuance of any Series of Bond Anticipation Notes, the payment of the Principal Installments on such Bond Anticipation Notes shall be subject to the prior lien and charge created in the Indenture for the payment of the Bonds out of the Principal and Interest Fund. As of the date of issuance of any Series of Bond Anticipation Notes, the aggregate Principal amount of all outstanding Bond Anticipation Notes (including such Series) shall never exceed the Principal amount of a hypothetical Series of Bonds which could be issued by the City on such date in compliance with the provisions described above for construction Bonds, having an assumed final maturity of 30 years, bearing an assumed rate of interest equal to the highest rate then borne by any outstanding Bond Anticipation Notes and having Debt Service due in each Fiscal Year in approximately equal amounts; provided that if no Series of Bond Anticipation Notes are then Outstanding under the Indenture, the interest rate used for purposes of the calculation shall be the interest rate borne by the Series of Bond Anticipation Notes to be issued. For a discussion on plans for the issuance of Additional Bonds, please see “THE CITY – Future Debt Plans” herein. THE SYSTEM [Update as needed] The Department of Public Utilities General. The Department of Public Utilities of the City (the “Department”) is responsible for the administration and maintenance of the System, which, for purposes of the Indenture, consists of the following utilities and their separate systems: water, sewer, stormwater, and street lighting. Each utility serves as a separate enterprise fund; provided, however, under the Indenture the combined revenues of each of the utilities have been pledged for the payment of the Bonds. The Department is under the administration of the Mayor, who receives input from the Public Utilities Advisory Committee. Public Utilities Advisory Committee Policy input is provided to the Mayor by a nine-member Public Utilities Advisory Committee (“PUAC”), which was formed in 1980. Committee members represent City and County customers with regard to rate structures, capital improvements and watershed protection. PUAC serves without pay and provides citizen input on both operations and policies. There are currently two vacancies on PUAC. 14 4867-1497-0902, v. 2 Management Personnel The System is administered by the Department, which includes the following personnel: Laura Briefer, MPA, Director, has overall responsibility for the Department. Ms. Briefer has worked at the Department for more than 12 years in various areas of the organization and has more than 25 years professional experience in natural resource and environmental professions in the public, private, and non-profit sectors. She holds a bachelor’s degree in environmental studies from the University of California at Santa Barbara, and a master’s degree in public administration from the University of Utah. Jesse Stewart, Deputy Director, is responsible for the Department’s development review, water quality and treatment, water reclamation, engineering, GIS and IT, and operations and maintenance divisions. Mr. Stewart joined the Department in August 2013. He graduated from the University of Wyoming in 1989 with a bachelor’s degree in business administration and from Weber State University in 2001 with a degree in environmental geosciences. Mr. Stewart is a registered professional geologist in the State of Utah. Prior to coming to the Department, Mr. Stewart was a principal level project manager and hydrogeologist with a worldwide engineering and environmental firm. Marian Hubbard-Rice, Deputy Director, is responsible for [update responsibilities in the Department]. Before joining the Department, Ms. Hubbard-Rice was the Watershed Section Manager for Salt Lake County Watershed Planning & Restoration. She holds a bachelor’s degree in biology and an MPA in natural resource management from the University of Utah. She is currently working on a Ph.D. at the University of Utah focusing on the energy-water nexus, which includes water quality analysis, best management practice (BMP) assessments, environmental policy, environmental justice, and an analysis of energy and environmental laws. Lisa Tarufelli, MBA, Finance Administrator, is responsible for the Department’s accounting, budgeting, customer service, billing and meter reading sections. Ms. Tarufelli was appointed in January 2019 and has more than 30 years of professional, municipal government experience, working extensively in all aspects of municipal finance. Ms. Tarufelli received a Bachelor of Science in accounting as well as a Master of Business Administration from the University of Utah. She is a member of the Government Finance Officer of America (GFOA) and has been a licensed Certified Public Accountant in the State of Wyoming for 35 years and is in the process of obtaining her license in the State. Tamara Wambeam, MS, GIS and IT Administrator, is responsible for all information management, information technology and mapping needs of the Department, including all hardware, software, programming, mapping, surveying and pipe locating. Ms. Wambeam has been working in geographic information systems (“GIS”) and information technology (“IT”) for 30 years. Ms. Wambeam has a Master of Science degree in geography with and emphasis in GIS and geomorphology from the University of Utah. Jamey West, Water Reclamation Manager, is responsible for the City’s water reclamation facility. Mr. West spent 20 years employed in almost all facets of the wastewater industry before becoming the Operations and Maintenance Manager at the SLCWRF in 2016. He soon after assumed the responsibilities as the facility manager in early 2017. He holds a Grade IV Wastewater Treatment certification as well as a Grade IV Wastewater Collections certification from the Utah Division of Water Quality and is a member in good standing of the Water Environment Federation. Randy Bullough, Operations and Maintenance Superintendent, is responsible for the operation and maintenance of the Water, Sewer and Stormwater Facilities. Mr. Bullough worked in the automatic fire sprinkler industry for ten years before being employed by the City. He has been with the Department for 36 years, 20 of which he worked as a State certified water distribution operator. He served several years as a steward for the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees local 1004 union representing City employees. He is also a long-time member of the American Water Works Association (AWWA). Jason Brown, P.E., Chief Engineer, is responsible for the management and coordination of all engineering and engineering related functions at the Department. Mr. Brown is a licensed professional Engineer with over 20 years of engineering experience. He has been with the Department for over 11 years and has served in various roles 15 4867-1497-0902, v. 2 including Development Review, Water System Program Manager and the Capital Improvements Program Manager. He is a member of American Water Works Association (AWWA), American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) and North American Society of Trench Technologies (NASTT). Teresa Gray, Water Quality & Treatment Administrator, is responsible for overseeing water quality treatment programs in the Department. [Need brief bio] Utility Rates The City Council has full and independent power to set rates for services provided by the System. The Department generally plans System rates on a five-year rolling basis after evaluating projected Revenues, long-term capital improvement plans, and other factors. Proposed rate increases are developed during the annual budget process in consultation with PUAC. Upon recommendation by PUAC, the annual budget including proposed rate increases is submitted to the Mayor for review and subsequent recommendation to the City Council for its approval. The Department solicits feedback from System customers regarding proposed rate increases and shares responses with the City Council. A Sewer Utility rate increase of 18% and a Water Utility rate increase of 8% became effective July 1, 2021. (See “HISTORICAL AND PROJECTED SUMMARY OF THE DEPARTMENT’S REVENUES AND EXPENSES.”) The City Council has generally been supportive of previous System rate increases. However, the City cannot predict how the City Council will vote on future rate increases. Billing and Collection Procedures The Department bills for all services provided by the System in one combined, monthly bill. Also included in the monthly bill are other City services, such as garbage collection, recycling, and transit passes. All payments from customers are allocated based on percentage of charges and customers cannot choose to pay one charge for any particular utility over another. By City ordinance, outstanding or delinquent customer accounts are considered water fees and as such, water service would be denied until delinquent customers bring their account balance current or fully paid. Historically, delinquent accounts (defined as outstanding balances greater than 90 days) have averaged less than 1% of outstanding accounts receivable. Water Utility General. As of [June 30, 2021], the Water Utility provides water to a population of more than [360,000] people through [92,026] connections with an approximate per capita consumption in the 2021 fiscal year of 188 gallons per day. Unlike other parts of the System which only service the City, the Water Utility service area includes the corporate limits of the City and other portions of the County covering an area of over 140 square miles. The service area outside the City begins at the southern corporate limits of the City and extends to the mouth of Little Cottonwood Canyon on the south and is bounded by the Wasatch Mountains on the east and approximately 1300 East Street on the west. [The Water Utility includes ten primary water sources (some with multiple subsources, including 26 deep wells), three water treatment plants, six raw water storage reservoirs with a collective capacity of 22,095 acre-feet (“AF”), 22 distribution reservoirs with a collective capacity of 96 million gallons (“MG”), 10 storage tanks which have a collective capacity of 7.63 MG, and an interconnecting network of approximately 1,308 miles of distribution and transmission lines to link the numerous facilities with the customers. The City estimates that the weighted average age of the water lines is about 60 years. Sources and Supplies of Water. The City obtains the principal portion of its water supply from (a) stream flows (Big Cottonwood Creek, Little Cottonwood Creek, Parley’s Creek and City Creek located adjacent or in close proximity to the City) and (b) reservoir storage in Deer Creek Reservoir on the Provo River in Wasatch County and Mountain Dell and Little Dell Reservoirs located in Parley’s Canyon in Salt Lake County, all of which store water collected from the watersheds and annual snowfall in the Wasatch Mountains directly east of the City. The Department also has ownership in wells and springs and other water rights and contracts such as the contract with Metropolitan Water District of Salt Lake and Sandy (“MWD”) pursuant to which MWD provides water for purchase to both the City and Sandy City, Utah (“Sandy”). The Central Utah Project (“CUP”), which is managed 16 4867-1497-0902, v. 2 by the Central Utah Water Conservancy District, allows MWD to provide 20,000 AF each year to both the City and Sandy. Sandy can purchase up to 7,940 AF through MWD of the allotment. Direct Appropriations. The City has direct appropriation rights for water delivered out of City Creek, Red Butte, Emigration, Parleys, Mill Creek, Big Cottonwood, and Little Cottonwood Creeks and filings to 108 cubic feet per second of ground water in Salt Lake Valley (which is equal to a withdrawal rate of 18,000 AF per year). Approximately 9 to 15% of the City’s water comes from wells and springs depending on natural variability of stream flows, climate, and water demand each year. Water Right Purchases and Exchange Contracts. The City has acquired significant water rights to the following streams through water rights purchases and water exchange contracts: Big Cottonwood Creek, Little Cottonwood Creek, Mill Creek, and Parley’s Creek. The exchange contracts convey the water rights of these streams to the City in exchange for providing irrigation water during the irrigation season from water held by the City in Utah Lake and other sources. The City entered into the first exchange agreement in 1888 with owners of Parley’s Creek, providing non-culinary Utah Lake and other water through the Jordan and Salt Lake City Canal for the high-quality mountain water. Subsequently, similar exchanges were made with the previous water right holders of Mill Creek, Big Cottonwood Creek and Little Cottonwood Creek. The duration of each of these contracts is in perpetuity as long as the specified quantity of irrigation water is supplied during the irrigation season. Over time the City, through policy, has purchased irrigation companies or become the majority shareholder, which has reduced the City’s exchange contract obligations. The City continues to implement this policy. MWD Contracts. MWD was organized and functions as a wholesale provider of water to the City and Sandy. Accordingly, the City obtains treated water from MWD for distribution in the City’s service area. For more information regarding MWD, see “Metropolitan Water District of Salt Lake and Sandy” below. MWD’s primary sources of water are the Provo River Project (the “PRP”), the CUP, and the Little Dell Reservoir, each as more fully discussed below. MWD’s Little Cottonwood Treatment Plant also treats the City’s Little Cottonwood Creek water. MWD owns 61.7% of the issued and outstanding shares of Provo River Water Users Association (“PRWUA”) stock, which entitles it to 61.7% (approximately 61,700 AF) of the water available for allotment each water year to PRWUA shareholders from the PRP, a federal reclamation project. PRWUA shares are fully assessable and such assessments to the PRWUA shareholders are expected to increase in the future because of several significant PRWUA capital improvement projects. The projected PRWUA assessments were taken into account in projecting future MWD water rates, as described below. Sandy has the preferential right to purchase up to 7,940 AF of the water available to MWD under existing MWD rights to PRP and CUP water. The City has the preferential right to purchase all PRP and CUP water available under existing MWD rights that has not been allocated to Sandy. To the extent that either the City or Sandy does not exercise its preferential right to purchase MWD water, the other city has the right to do so in preference to all others. MWD may sell any surplus water to others. The City and MWD each own interests in water rights that allow water to be stored in the Little Dell Reservoir. The City treats and is entitled to all City and MWD water from Little Dell Reservoir. Existing Water Sources. The City’s existing water supply comes from a number of different sources. For planning purposes, the City’s sources have been grouped into the following categories: (a) Surface Water Sources and (b) Ground Water Sources. Surface Water Sources. The City owns or controls water rights in several surface water sources. This includes surface water treated at the following City-owned and operated treatment plants: Big Cottonwood Water Treatment Plant (BCWTP), Parleys Water Treatment Plant (Parleys WTP), and City Creek Water Treatment Plant (CCWTP). The City also owns most of the water rights in Little Cottonwood Creek, which is treated at the MWD’s Little Cottonwood Water Treatment Plant (LCWTP). Based on the City’s current 40-year water supply and demand plan, the combined projected annual yield of these sources is 40,820 AF (dry year) and 59,500 AF (average year). The City also holds surface water rights in Red Butte, Emigration, and Mill Creeks, Utah Lake, and the Jordan River. Those water rights are put to beneficial use to meet exchange contract deliveries for irrigation water. Mill Creek water rights are also held for future culinary water sources, as described below. 17 4867-1497-0902, v. 2 Finally, the City has substantial interest in surface water sources via PRP and CUP through its contractual relationship with MWD. The yield of water stores in PRP is estimated to be 53,760 AF (average year) and 18,900 AF (dry year). The available CUP supply is 20,000 acre-feet in both average and dry years, which is contractually defined. City Groundwater Sources. The City owns water rights for a number of groundwater sources. For evaluation purposes, these sources have been broken into two categories: Base Wells and Springs – The City has a number of springs and artesian wells that require little or no pumping. Water from these sources is used year-round by the City. The estimated average annual production of these sources is 7,500 AF. That figure is for both average and dry water years. Peaking Wells – All remaining groundwater sources owned by the City are generally used only during the summer months to meet peak demands. Annual production from these wells will vary significantly based on needs. In average years, the estimated yield of these wells is 4,400 AF. The estimated maximum of the wells in dry years is 10,400 AF. Combining both categories of groundwater sources results in an average year yield of 11,900 AF and a maximum dry year yield of 17,900 AF/year. Potential New Water Sources. The City recently completed an updated water supply and demand plan through the year 2060. The City is currently considering the following potential new sources: new well development, additional surface water development, wastewater reuse, and additional Little Dell water rights. The City has also included more aggressive water conservation goals and impacts of climate change to water supply and demand when considering both existing and new sources of water. New Groundwater Development. To meet future demands, the City has planned for the development of additional wells at various locations throughout its System and the rehabilitation of existing wells at higher capacities. The City estimates development of new groundwater sources will yield up to 12,000 AF annually of additional ground water in dry years. In average years, it has been assumed that yields would be limited to 3,000 AF. Additional Surface Water Development. Another potential new supply the City is exploring is development of additional surface water sources. This could include construction of a treatment plant to treat water from Millcreek Canyon. The City would like to develop additional surface water sufficient to produce at least 3,300 AF during dry years. Based on historical flow records for Millcreek, that development would equate to an estimated average year yield of 3,967 AF. Utah Lake System Water. The City petitioned CUCWD for CUP water through the planned Utah Lake System (ULS) through MWD and will begin receiving 3,100 acre-feet of ULS water in 2021 and runs in perpetuity. Wastewater Reuse. The City has an interest in pursuing opportunities for wastewater reuse. Probable reuse opportunities currently being studied include irrigation of two large golf courses and a park area near the City’s wastewater treatment plant. Initial City plans for wastewater reuse would produce approximately 4,200 AF annually and production would be constant in both dry and average water years. Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR). The City, in conjunction with Sandy and MWD, is investigating the use of ASR. This option would use high spring runoff in the City’s water sources that currently arrives during a period when supply is in excess of demand (early spring). The water would be stored in the aquifer for use during dry years. The projected annual volume available to the City would be 5,900 AF in dry years. Total Dry Year Production: The City estimates water yield based on conservatively calculated dry year production of each of its water sources. For current water sources, the estimated annual dry year production is 97,620 AF. The estimated annual dry year production by 2050 of current and future water sources is estimated to be over 18 4867-1497-0902, v. 2 126,120 AF. City water supplies have exceeded customer demands in the past and water supply is expected to meet the anticipated demands for future years. The table below summarizes the various sources of water available to the City for the last five fiscal years in acre feet (AF). Five-Year Summary of Water Deliveries (AF) Fiscal Year Ended June 30, Water Source 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 (AF) (AF) (AF) (AF) (AF) Direct Appropriations: Wells/Springs 11,659 13,549 21,562 6,957 9,873 City Creek 4,831 5,520 4,414 6,481 4,615 Total Direct Appropriations 16,490 19,069 25,977 13,438 14,488 Water Rights & Exchange Contracts Big Cottonwood Creek 19,352 23,927 16,817 26,118 21,025 Little Cottonwood Creek 9,243 15,643 16,735 18,420 10,103 Parley’s Creek(1) 5,671 8,187 6,294 2,860 5,927 Total Exchange Contracts 34,266 47,757 39,847 47,398 37,055 MWD Contracts Deer Creek 13,335 17,983 21,384 17,727 30,702 CUP 8,730 10,203 13,576 11,453 13,340 Total MWD Contracts 22,065 28,186 34,960 29,180 44,042 Total Water Sources 72,821 95,012 100,784 90,016 95,585 (1) Includes Little Dell Reservoir and Mountain Dell Reservoir. Metropolitan Water District of Salt Lake and Sandy. MWD is a metropolitan water district formed in 1935 under the Metropolitan Water District Act, Title 17B, Chapter 2a, Part 6, Utah Code, to provide supplemental wholesale water to the City and Sandy. The City was the sole member of MWD until Sandy became a part of MWD in 1990. MWD is governed by an independent, seven-person Board of Trustees, five of whom are appointed by the Salt Lake City Council and two of whom are appointed by Sandy. MWD owns and operates, or has capacity rights in, water treatment plants, aqueducts, a water reservoir and other facilities. MWD’s mission is to acquire water rights or acquire, construct or operate, control and use various facilities (each, a “MWD Project”) for the transportation or treatment of water for the benefit of the City and Sandy. The Board of Trustees of MWD, after consultation with the City and Sandy, determines the scope of any MWD Project, the costs of such MWD Project, and whether or not to proceed with an MWD Project. Depending on the nature of the MWD Project and subject to the 2001 Interlocal Agreement (as defined below), the costs of such MWD Project are recovered by MWD through (a) annual assessments charged to the City and Sandy or (b) from (i) the ad valorem property tax MWD is authorized to levy, (ii) the rates MWD charges the City and Sandy for the purchase of water, or (iii) any combination of (i) or (ii). Annual assessments are charged in proportion to the supply, treatment and/or conveyance capacities from an MWD Project that are committed on a preferential basis to the City and Sandy. Pursuant to an Interlocal Agreement, dated as of May 1, 2001 (the “2001 Interlocal Agreement”), among MWD, the City and Sandy, the City and Sandy have the first right to determine the allocation of the preferential rights to capacity or supply from an MWD Project. However, in the event that the City and Sandy cannot agree to such allocation, MWD will allocate the preferential rights from an MWD Project to the City and Sandy. The MWD Board of Trustees sets MWD water rates, after consultation with the City and Sandy. Preliminary projections of MWD’s water rates are based upon a number of assumptions regarding future contingencies, including assumptions regarding PRWUA assessments, MWD water sales, MWD tax revenues and costs of labor and supplies. 19 4867-1497-0902, v. 2 The preliminary projections of MWD water rates have been included in the City’s estimated costs of sales and services contained under the caption “HISTORICAL AND PROJECTED SUMMARY OF THE DEPARTMENT’S REVENUES AND EXPENSES.” For further discussion of MWD’s water rights, certain proposed MWD Projects and currently anticipated annual assessments, see “Sources and Supplies of Water” above and “Water Treatment Capacity” below. Water Treatment Capacity. The following table shows the treatment capacity in million gallons per day (“MGD”) available to the City through its three water treatment plants (at City Creek, Parley’s Canyon, and Big Cottonwood Canyon), LCWTP, the City’s share of MWD’s Point of the Mountain Water Treatment Plant (“POMWTP”), MWD’s share of the capacity of the Jordan Valley Water Treatment Plant (“JVWTP”), which is operated by Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District, and wells and springs: Water Treatment Capacity Treatment Plant Treatment Capacity (MGD) City Creek 15 Parley’s 45 Big Cottonwood 42 MWD: LCWTP(1) 150:125 POMWTP(1) 70:44 JVWTP(1) 180:45 Wells/Springs(2) 44 Total City Portion 360 (1) Amounts shown are total plant capacity and City portion of such total plant capacity (e.g. 150 MGD total treatment capacity, of which 125 MGD is available to the City), if such capacity is available. (2) Amount shown for wells/springs represents the amount of potable water available to the City from its wells and springs and does not require treatment. In 2007, MWD enlarged the water treatment capacity of LCWTP to approximately 150 MGD and finished construction of the POMWTP (70 MGD capacity). Pursuant to the 2001 Interlocal Agreement, the costs of enlarging the LCWTP were recovered by MWD through the ad valorem property tax that MWD levies and through charges (based on water rates) to the City and Sandy. Also pursuant to the 2001 Interlocal Agreement, MWD charges the City and Sandy an annual assessment for certain new capital improvements, including POMWTP, the Point of the Mountain Aqueduct (“POMA”) which connects LCWTP and POMWTP, and certain other improvements. The capacities committed to the City and Sandy are preferential rights. Neither the City nor Sandy has an ownership interest in the facilities providing such capacities. The projected charges have been incorporated in the System’s estimated operating expenses shown in the table under the caption “HISTORICAL AND PROJECTED SUMMARY OF THE DEPARTMENT’S REVENUES AND EXPENSES.” The City has a preferential right to 62.5% of POMWTP’s capacity and is responsible for 62.5% of the total annual assessment relating to such facility. The preferential capacity rights of each city in each section of POMA are described in the 2001 Interlocal Agreement. Currently, the City is being charged an annual assessment of approximately $7.1 million each year until 2034 for such capacity rights in POMWTP and POMA. The projected annual assessments have been incorporated in the System’s estimated operating expenses shown in the table under the caption “HISTORICAL AND PROJECTED SUMMARY OF THE DEPARTMENT’S REVENUES AND EXPENSES.” It is anticipated that annual assessments for POMWTP and POMA will be charged to the City regardless of the quantity of water purchased from MWD or the actual amount of capacity provided by POMWTP and POMA; provided, however, to the extent that MWD uses any of the excess capacity from POMWTP or POMA to provide water to others, the City will be credited for a portion of its annual assessment. Pursuant to the Indenture, any annual assessment charged to the City under the 2001 Interlocal Agreement will be treated as an Operations and Maintenance Cost. 20 4867-1497-0902, v. 2 City Water Supply and Demand. The City projects culinary water demand based on a drought condition scenario and includes growth projections from the City and other governmental agencies as well as other factors such as climate change. The City has projected culinary water production versus supply out to the year 2060. The City’s existing water resources, together with the potential new water sources discussed above will be sufficient to meet future demand scenarios. City Water Consumption. The following table summarizes City water demand for the last five fiscal years in terms of water consumption in millions of gallons (MG) and in acre-feet (AF), estimated equivalent population served, and the corresponding estimated per capita water consumption in gallons per day. Fiscal Year Total Consumption (MG/AF)(1) Estimated Equivalent Population Served Per Capita Consumption (Gallons Per Day) 2017 25,092/76,993 347,976 197 2018 25,438/78,055 352,152 198 2019 23,954/73,512 356,677 184 2020 24,425/74,956 360,654 186 2021 25,128/77,116 364,982 188 (1) One million gallons is equivalent to 3.069 acre-feet. Major Water Facility Users. The following table summarizes the City’s top ten water users for fiscal year [2021] in terms of water charges and percentage of total water sales. User Type Annual Billing % of Total Annual Billing University of Utah School, Hospital Tesoro Petroleum Industrial Municipal Golf Courses Municipal Government City Dept. of Airports Municipal Government Utah Power Industrial VA Medical Center Hospital SLC Regional Complex Municipal Government WWF Operating Company Industrial Grand America Hotel Business Meadow Gold Dairies Industrial Total Water Rates. In the past several years, the City has increased its water rates by 4% to 5% annually. The City implemented a new rate structure effective July 1, 2021 accompanied by an 8% increase in water rates. Water rates are calculated on a monthly service charge based on meter size plus a winter months usage rate or a summer months four-tiered usage rate. During the summer months, each usage tier or “block” is based on the amount of water used measured in units of one-hundred cubic feet or “ccf” (equivalent to 748 gallons of water). The City’s current water rates for users within and outside the City boundaries, which have been in effect since July 1, 2021, are as follows: Water Rates – Single Residential Accounts Within City Boundaries Outside City Boundaries Monthly service charge(1) $10.03 $13.54 Usage rate per ccf (Nov. – March) 1.48 2.00 Usage rate per ccf (April – Oct) Block 1: 1-10 ccf 1.48 2.00 Block 2: 11-30 ccf 2.02 2.73 Block 3: 31-60 ccf 2.80 3.78 Block 4: Over 61 ccf 2.99 4.04 (1) Based on a 3/4” meter size. 21 4867-1497-0902, v. 2 Water Rates – Commercial and Industrial Accounts Within City Boundaries Outside City Boundaries Monthly service charge(1) $30.12 $40.66 Usage rate per ccf (Nov. – March) 1.61 2.17 Usage rate per ccf (April – Oct) Block 1: 1 ccf - AWC(2) 1.61 2.17 Block 2: > 100% - 300% AWC 2.21 2.98 Block 3: > 300% - 600% AWC 3.07 4.14 Block 4: Over 600% AWC 3.26 4.40 (1) Based on a 2” meter size. (2) Average Winter Water consumption, which varies for each commercial and industrial customer. Water Utility Connection Fees. The City charges a fee to connect to the Water Utility, which includes connection-related fees and an impact fee. A schedule of the fees is shown below. These charges may change from time to time as capital improvement or other programs are implemented at the various entities. The connection fees as of July 1, 2020, are as follows: Water Utility –Connection Fees(1) Classification Dwelling Meter Size Within City Boundaries Outside City Boundaries Residential Single family 3/4 inch $2,329.07 $3,884.31 Single family 1 inch 3,884.30 4,081.30 Duplex 1 inch 3,885.30 4,082.30 Triplex 1 inch 3,886.30 4,083.30 Fourplex 1 inch 3,887.30 4,084.30 Commercial/Industrial Compound(2) 3/4 inch 4,417.30 4,800.30 Compound 1 inch 4,417.30 4,800.30 Compound 1.5 inch 9,836.98 10,574.98 Compound 2 inch 14,437.83 15,495.83 Compound 3 inch 29,998.54 32,158.54 Compound 4 inch(3) 35,144.54 35,144.54 Compound 6 inch 65,547.59 65,547.59 Compound 8 inch 100,080.54 100,080.54 Turbo(4) 2 - 8 inch Price determined upon request Price determined upon request Fire Meter 4 inch 37,090.93 37,090.93 Fire Meter 6 inch 67,447.57 67,447.57 Fire Meter 8 inch 104,864.63 104,864.63 Fire Meter 10 inch 147,025.18 147,025.18 (1) Connection fee includes hardware costs, inspection fees, and impact fees. (2) Compound meters allow for measurement of both high and small flow rates. (3) For meters 4 inches and larger a water resource fee is added which is based on the ratio of the projected usage (gpd) to the equivalent residential unit amount of 449 gpd multiplied by $106. (4) Turbo meters are used where continuous and sustained flow rates are required. Sewer Utility General. The Sewer Utility was founded in 1887 to serve the City’s downtown business district, and from that early beginning, the collection system has expanded to serve most of the now approximately 117 square miles of the City. The Sewer Utility presently contains over 654 miles of sanitary sewer pipe, various sewage lift stations and a pretreatment and biological treatment plant. The City estimates that the weighted average age of the sewer lines in the Sewer Utility is 66 years. 22 4867-1497-0902, v. 2 The SLCWRF, portions of which are over 60 years old, was constructed with a capacity of 45 MGD and was upgraded to 56 MGD in 1986. The SLCWRF currently provides wastewater treatment to EPA secondary effluent standards by incorporating a “Trickling Filter/Activated Sludge” process and chlorine disinfection. Following treatment, water is discharged into the City’s Northwest Drain Canal and flows directly to Farmington Bay of the Great Salt Lake. At the 2019 National Association of Clean Water Agencies (NACWA) Utility Leadership Conference, the SLCWRF was recognized for 26 years of complete and consistent National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (“NPDES”) permit compliance. The Sewer Utility serves an estimated population of [200,567] within the municipal corporate limits of the City through [50,119] connections. The daytime population increases significantly to over [300,000]. By industry standards, the calculated population equivalent served by the Sewer Utility and SLCWRF is approximately 194,000. The SLCWRF treated a monthly average flow of [28.52] MGD and a peak month flow of [42.2] MGD in the fiscal year ended [June 30, 2021] and is currently meeting its NPDES limitations. The SLCWRF currently has a 56 MGD capacity. The City believes that the SLCWRF has adequate capacity to meet the City’s present needs and is planning to meet future demand. See “System Capital Financing Programs–Sewer Capital Financing Program” herein. City Wastewater Treatment. The following chart shows the wastewater treatment at the Treatment Plant for each of the past five fiscal years: Fiscal Year Flow Average (MGD) TBOD(1) (mg per liter) TSS(2) (mg per liter) 2021 2020 2019(3) 33.487 13.2 13.9 2018(3) 27.967 12.2 11.4 2017 28.993 9.4 10.9 (1) Total Biochemical Oxygen Demand (“TBOD”) represents the amount of oxygen used by microorganisms in the aerobic biological process as they consume organic material. The TBOD test measures the amount of dissolved oxygen needed by aerobic decomposers to break down the organic materials in a given volume of wastewater over a period of five days. The City’s current effluent permit limit for TBOD is 25 milligrams per liter (“mg/L”). (2) The City’s current effluent permit limit for Total Suspended Solids (“TSS”) is 25 mg/L. (3) The increase in TBOD and TSS in beginning in 2018 is attributed to revised calibration of the influent meter for better accuracy. Rainfall also affects the efficiency of the process and the spring of 2019 was wet and thus decreased the efficiency of the process. Major Sewer Facility Users. The following table summarizes the City’s top ten Sewer Utility users for fiscal year [2021] in terms of water charges and percentage of total water sales: User Type Annual Billing % of Total Annual Billing Tesoro Petroleum Industrial University of Utah School, Charity, Hospital WWF Operating Company Business San Pietro Properties LLC Business The Sun Products Corp Industrial Meadow Gold Dairies Business Grand America Hotel Hotel VA Medical Center Hospital Thatcher Company Industrial Sweet Candy Company Business Total 23 4867-1497-0902, v. 2 Sewer Rates. On June 16, 2020, the City Council adopted a new fee schedule approving an 18% sewer rate increase. Effective July 1, 2021, the City’s sewer rates are as follows: (a) Minimum charge per month: $10.26 per residential unit, or $5.13 per ccf of average monthly water meter reading of those using solely City water during the consecutive months of November through March inclusive each year (average winter usage), whichever is higher. (b) Commercial customers discharging waste strength between 300 mg/l and 1,800 mg/l of biological demand or total suspended solids will be charged $5.64 per ccf to $13.43 per ccf depending on strength of waste. Customers discharging greater than 1,800 mg/l of biological oxygen demand or total suspended solids will be charged based on actual pounds of chemical oxygen demand, biological oxygen demand, and/or total suspended solids.\ (c) Users having more than one water meter, one or more of which measures water eventually discharged into the Sewer Facility and one or more other meters measuring water not entering the Sewer Facility, will be charged $5.13 per ccf for all water used which may enter the sewer, but will not be assessed a sewer charge on water meter(s) which measure water, no part of which flows into the sewer system. (d) For those not using City water or using some City water, the City may require a City-approved meter, at the sewer user’s expense, on the well(s) or other source(s) of water supply for measurement by the City during said months, the average of which shall become the basis for sewer billings for said period. Sewer Utility Connection Fees. The City charges a fee to connect to the Sewer Facilities. A schedule of such fees is shown below. These charges may change from time to time as capital improvement or other programs are implemented at the various entities. Sewer Utility – Connection Fees Type Fee Residential single dwelling, and condominium, per connection or unit $545 Multi-family dwellings: Duplex 818 Triplex 1,226 Townhouse (apartment) per unit 409 Hotels and motels Per dwelling unit without kitchen or restaurant 273 Per dwelling unit with a kitchen and/or restaurant 363 General commercial and industrial uses, per each equivalent fixture unit 27 Trailer parks, per equivalent fixture unit (3 trailer spaces equal 1 equivalent fixture unit) 545 Recreation parks, per equivalent fixture unit (6 trailer spaces equal 1 equivalent fixture unit) 545 Special industrial and commercial uses (including car washes, laundromats, etc.), per equivalent fixture unit, as specified in the Uniform Plumbing Code 27 Stormwater Utility General. In June 1991, the City Council created the Stormwater Utility to improve drainage and to meet EPA rules and regulations. The Stormwater Utility is a drainage system physically separate and distinct from the Sewer Utility. The Stormwater Utility includes approximately 351 miles of storm drain pipe, 45 miles of open channel ditches and 26 pump stations. The Department has completed Part 1 and Part 2 of the Utah Pollution Discharge Elimination System permit application for discharges from municipal separate storm sewer systems in accordance with EPA regulations 40 CFR Section 122.21 and 122.26, which parts have been approved. 24 4867-1497-0902, v. 2 Major Stormwater Facility Users. The following table summarizes the City’s top ten Stormwater Facility users for fiscal year [2021] in terms of water charges and percentage of total water sales: User Type Annual Billing % of Total Annual Billing University of Utah School, Hospital City Department of Airports Municipal Business VA Medical Center Hospital Utah State Fair Corp. Business Union Pacific Railroad Business Woodman, Ron Industrial Bay Bridge/Corporate LLC Business SLCWRF Municipal Business Utah Power Business AFRC Business Total Stormwater Rates. Single family homes provide the basis for the rate in that the average amount of impervious area on a single-family residence is 2,500 square feet or 1 equivalent service unit. Based on a 10% rate increase approved by the City Council and effective July 1, 2021, single-family homes are charged a rate of $5.98 per month. All non-single-family parcels pay a multiple of this base rate according to their measured impervious area. Businesses, industrial, commercial and tax-exempt properties pay a multiple of the single-family fee. The amount depends upon the impervious area (such as parking lots, roofs and pavement). The City also charges $374 per 1/4 acre for connection to the Stormwater Utility on all new development within City boundaries. This connection fee must be paid prior to the issuance of a building permit. Street Lighting Utility The Street Lighting Utility consists of 15,668 street lights. The City provides a “base level” of lighting, which includes standard light poles placed at the end of each block and mid-block section. This is funded through a fee (the “Basic Service Fee”) charged to properties on City utility bills. The Basic Service Fee is assessed monthly to each property and is based on the number of Equivalent Residential Units (ERUs) for each property. Based on the average residential street frontage of 75 feet, all residential, duplex, and triplex properties are assessed one ERU. Commercial and institutional properties are assessed one ERU for every 75 feet of street frontage. As of [June 30, 2021], there are approximately 74,000 ERUs in the City subject to the Basic Service Fee. In addition to the Basic Service Fee, some areas of the City, such as the Central Business District, have a higher level of service. These areas are considered to have an “enhanced” level of service and this higher level of service is paid for by the property owners who are benefitted by it. “Enhanced Lighting Fees” were established July 1, 2016. As of [June 30, 2021], there were approximately [3,805] Enhanced Lighting Fee accounts and approximately [4,785] enhanced service ERUs. The average monthly charge for an Enhanced Lighting customer is [$17.11]. The new Enhanced Lighting Fee ensures that decorative lights are properly and regularly maintained, that they are upgraded for energy efficiency, and that costs are paid for by the property owners in those areas. The Enhanced Lighting Fee includes three types of service groups based on type of light and anticipated needed capital expenditures as shown below. 25 4867-1497-0902, v. 2 Street Lighting Rates Service Fee Note Basic Service Fee City-wide $3.73 Per ERU Per month. No bills shall be less than 1 ERU Enhanced Lighting Fees Group 1 Decorative Lights – High Efficiency(1) $5.67 per ERU Per month – residential Group 2 Decorative Lights(2) $15.94 per ERU Per month – residential Group 3 Decorative Multi-Head Lights(3) $43.82 per ERU Per month – commercial (1) Group 1 rates apply to the existing, predominantly residential properties with more closely spaced enhanced decorative lights; lights are generally energy efficient and large capital expenditures are not expected within the next three fiscal years. (2) Group 2 rates apply to the existing, predominantly residential properties with a number of enhanced decorate lights; many lights require energy efficiency upgrades and wiring projects. (3) Group 3 rates apply to the existing properties in the predominantly commercial areas with a number of enhanced decorative lights. System Capital Financing Programs Water Capital Financing Program. The water capital financing program has funded more than $267 million in improvements since 2001, primarily on a pay-as-you-go basis. Major capital improvements have included waterline replacements, upgrades to existing treatment plants, and upgrading existing reservoirs and storage tanks to meet current seismic standards. As a result of the capital improvement program, the City’s water treatment plant capacity has been increased since 1992 by 26% through upgrades to the Big Cottonwood and the Little Cottonwood water treatment plants. During this same time period, the City’s east-side aqueduct capacity has been increased by 90% through upsizing the Big Cottonwood conduit. The City plans to continue a robust capital improvement program for the Water Utility funded primarily by proceeds from rate increases. [The Series 2022 Project includes upgrades to the distribution system, a portion of which supports the City’s road reconstruction program, water treatment plant projects, and master plan projects.] See “THE SERIES 2022 PROJECT” herein. Sewer Capital Financing Program. In 2001, the City Council adopted a six-year, $57 million capital improvement program to upgrade the SLCWRF and sewage collection system. The projects were initially funded with approximately $22 million of bonds in 2004 (which were refunded by the Series 2012 Bonds) with additional funding coming from cash reserves and approved sewer rate increases on a pay-as- you-go basis. Improvements exceeding $159 million have been funded on a pay-as-you go-basis since 2001. The Series 2009 Bonds were issued as part of economic stimulus funding by the State which funded the replacement of the digester cover and walls at the SLCWRF. In addition to refunding certain outstanding bonds, the Series 2012 Bonds also funded over $6.0 million in improvements to the reclamation facility and the collections system. In December 2016, final review was completed of an extensive water reclamation facility master plan update. Due to the new State nutrient treatment requirements and the age of the existing facility, the master plan developed a path forward to comply with the new requirements while replacing much of the 56-year old SLCWRF with an updated treatment process. The Series 2017 Bonds were used to facilitate the expansion of the capacity of the sewer collection system by allowing flow balancing within the system and construction of master planned projects. [The Series 2020 Bonds and the Series 2022B Bonds are funding a portion of the SLCWRF master plan implementation as well as improvements to the Sewer Facility collection system. Approximately 49% of the improvements to the SLCWRF are being funded from the WIFIA Loan.] Stormwater Capital Financing Program. The stormwater capital program has funded over $74 million in capital improvements since 2002. Most of these improvements have been funded on a pay-as-you-go basis; however, bonds issued in 2004 (refunded by the Series 2012 Bonds) were issued to fund a new stormwater trunk line, and the Series 2011 Bonds funded the Folsom Avenue stormwater project and other various stormwater improvements. [Proceeds of the Series 2020 Bonds are being applied to fund the City’s road reconstruction program including investment in green infrastructure.] 26 4867-1497-0902, v. 2 Street Lighting Capital Financing Program. Accounting for City street lighting was removed from the City’s general fund and established as a separate enterprise fund in January 2013. This restructuring provides reliable funding for the Street Lighting Utility. Since becoming an enterprise fund the Department has made significant improvements in the overall condition of this Utility. Just over half of the City streetlights are now considered energy efficient. A soon to be completed Street Lighting Master Plan will provide guidance for future streetlight installations based on street type and locations in the City. Improvements exceeding $8 million have been funded since 2013. The Series 2017 Bonds financed wiring replacements and upgrades to high efficiency lamps in the enhanced service areas. No new bond monies are requested for this utility at this time. The Department will continue system improvements from pay-as-you-go rate revenues with plans to spend about $2.2 million annually on Street Lighting improvements to enhance service and energy savings over the next four fiscal years beginning in FY2021. Historical and Projected Capital Project Expenditures.

A major focus of the Department’s budget is the rehabilitation and replacement of aging infrastructure. In addition to the Series 2022 Project, the Additional Bonds will fund improvements [to three water treatment plants, phased construction of a new water conveyance line to expand service and provide redundancy, and water, sewer and stormwater utility infrastructure work necessitated by street improvement projects. As discussed herein, any Additional Bonds are secured by and payable from Net Revenues on a parity with the Series 2022 Bonds and the Outstanding Parity Bonds. Other City Debt. A special bond election held on November 6, 2018 gave voter authorization to the City to issue up to $87 million in general obligation bonds to fund all or a portion of the costs of improving various streets and roads throughout the City and related infrastructure improvements. The City has issued approximately $____ of bonds from such authorization. The City anticipates issuing the remaining authorization within the next 5-6 years. Such bonds are secured by and payable from ad valorem property taxes and not Net Revenues. The City analyzes the potential value of refunding bond issues, particularly during periods of lower than normal interest rates or on an as needed basis. The City will issue approximately $__ billion in additional general airport revenue bonds in the future to complete the $4.1 billion airport reconstruction program. The reconstruction program is currently expected to be completed by 2024. Such bonds are secured by and payable from revenues of the City’s airport system and not Net Revenues. Recent Developments General. Fiscal year 2021 general fund expenses are expected to end very close to budget. Due to COVID- 19 and the September 2020 Windstorm there have been unusual and unexpected changes in spending. The administration and council have provided additional emergency funding, and it is expected that these departments will be very close to budget on June 30, 2021. Overall revenue for fiscal year 2021 is projected to be $9.0 million over budget. Permit and License revenue is expected to be higher than budgeted due to increases in construction related permitting. Total sales tax revenues are approximately $8.0 million over budget. Fines & Forfeitures, Parking Meter Revenue and Miscellaneous Revenue are all under budget due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Fund balance for the end of fiscal year 2020 was $67.2 million or 20.85% of total revenues for the year. The City Council and administration have an internal goal to keep the fund balance above 14% of total revenue for each fiscal year. In fiscal year 2019 the total fund balance was $43.5 million (16.0%) and a conservative fund balance estimate for fiscal year 2021 is $47.5 million (14.5%). Fiscal year 2021 budget grew by approximately 10%, an increase of $28.4, million as compared to the previous year. Major general fund expense increases were $5.7 million mostly associated with salary and benefit cost increases, 66 new positions at a budgeted cost of $3.4 million, a transfer of 68 police officers from the Salt Lake City International Airport at a cost of $7.7 million funded by the Airport, $4.7 million of transportation initiatives funded through a new sales tax and an increase in the transfer to the fleet fund of just over $4.3 million. COVID-19. As the regional employment center, tourism destination, and entertainment hub for the State of Utah, Salt Lake City has experienced a significant loss of revenues in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. General fund estimated losses through Dec 31, 2020 exceed $48 million. The fiscal year 2021 general fund put into place some reduction strategies, which include a hiring freeze for six months, while the rest of the general fund’s expenditure budget remained flat. The City’s administration took a conservative approach on the revenues projected with some of the major sources being decreased by 15% for 6 months of fiscal year 2021. The City has incurred an estimated $6.5 million in unbudgeted local expenses in response to this crisis. The City has received $12,001,476 million from the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act funding allocated to the State and/or County and will receive an additional installments of CARES funding in Fall of 2021. The City has also received $7,987,257 in Rental Assistance and $42,705,786 (first 50% installment) from The American Rescue Plan. September 2020 Windstorm. On Sept 8, 2020 Salt Lake City experienced hurricane force winds which caused thousands of trees and limbs to fall, causing property damage, power outages and road and business closures. Downed trees blocked critical emergency routes throughout the city as well as many thoroughfares preventing first responder access and critical daily residential refuse collection. The windstorm created a state of local emergency under Utah Code and City Code. With the help 35 4867-1497-0902, v. 2 of the National Guard, State, County, and local jurisdictions, and volunteer organizations, Salt Lake City removed and disposed of over 9,000 tons of debris. The current estimate of losses from the windstorm exceeds $8 million. This projection could change as we continue to clean up and repair damaged buildings, sidewalks, and irrigation systems. It currently appears that some windstorm related damages will be covered by the city’s property insurance less a $100,000 deductible. The City is seeking FEMA Public Assistance to help with the uninsured and underinsured damages. See also “INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS—Potential Impact of the Coronavirus” below. No Defaulted Obligations The City has never failed to pay principal and interest when due on any of its bonds, notes or other financial obligations. FINANCIAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE CITY Fund Structure (Accounting Basis) The accounts of the City are organized on the basis of funds, each of which is considered to be a separate accounting entity. The operations of each fund are accounted for by providing a separate set of self-balancing accounts that comprise its assets, liabilities, fund balance or net assets, revenues, and expenditures or expenses. The various funds are grouped by type in the basic financial statements. Revenues and expenditures are recognized using the modified accrual basis of accounting in all governmental funds. Revenues are recognized in the accounting period in which they become both measurable and available. “Measurable” means that amounts can be reasonably determined within the current period. “Available” means that amounts are collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to be used to pay liabilities of the current period. The City uses 60 days as a cutoff for meeting the available criterion. Property taxes are considered “measurable” when levied and available when collected and held by Salt Lake County. Any amounts not available are recorded as delayed revenue. Franchise taxes are considered “measurable” when collected and held by the utility company, and are recognized as revenue at that time. Other revenues that are determined to be susceptible to accrual include grants-in-aid earned and other intergovernmental revenues, charges for services, interest, assessments, interfund service charges, and proceeds of the sale of property. Property taxes and assessments are recorded as receivables when assessed; however, they are reported as delayed revenue until the “available” criterion has been met. Sales and use taxes collected by the State and remitted to the City within the “available” time period are recognized as revenue. Revenues collected in advance are delayed and recognized in the period to which they apply. In proprietary funds, revenues and expenses are recognized using the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized in the accounting period in which they are earned and become measurable and expenses are recognized in the period incurred. Financial Controls The City utilizes a computerized financial accounting system, which includes a system of budgetary controls. State law requires budgets to be controlled by individual departments, but the City also maintains computerized control by major categories within departments. These computerized controls are such that a requisition cannot be entered into the purchasing system unless the appropriated funds are available. The system checks for sufficient funds again, prior to the purchase order being issued, and again before the payment check is issued. Voucher payments are also controlled by the computer for sufficient appropriations. Budget and Appropriation Process The budget and appropriation process of the City is governed by the Uniform Fiscal Procedures Act for Utah Cities, Title 10, Chapter 6, of the Utah Code (the “Fiscal Procedures Act”). Pursuant to the Fiscal Procedures Act, the budget officer of the City is required to prepare budgets for the General Fund, Special Revenue Funds, Debt Service 36 4867-1497-0902, v. 2 Funds and Capital Improvement Fund. These budgets are to provide a complete financial plan for the budget (ensuing fiscal) year. Each budget is required to specify, in tabular form, estimates of anticipated revenues and appropriations for expenditures. Under the Fiscal Procedures Act, the total of anticipated revenues must equal the total of appropriated expenditures. On or before the first regular meeting of the City Council in May of each year, the budget officer is required to submit to the City Council tentative budgets for all funds for the fiscal year commencing July 1. Various actual and estimated budget data are required to be set forth in the tentative budgets. The budget officer may revise the budget request submitted by the heads of City departments, but must file these submissions with the City Council together with the tentative budget. The budget officer is required to estimate in the tentative budget the revenue from nonproperty tax sources available for each fund and the revenue from general property taxes required by each fund. The tentative budget is then provisionally adopted by the City Council, with any amendments or revisions that the City Council deems advisable prior to the public hearings on the tentative budget. After public notice and hearing, the tentative budget is adopted by the City Council, subject to further amendment or revisions by the City Council prior to adoption of the final budget. Prior to June 30th of each year, the final budgets for all funds are adopted by the City Council. The Fiscal Procedures Act prohibits the City Council from making any appropriation in the final budget of any fund in excess of the estimated expendable revenue of such fund. The adopted final budget is subject to amendment by the City Council during the fiscal year. However, in order to increase the budget total of any fund, public notice and hearing must be provided. Intra- and inter-department transfers of appropriation balances are permitted upon compliance with the Fiscal Procedures Act. The amount set forth in the final budget as the total amount of estimated revenue from property taxes constitutes the basis for determining the property tax levy to be set by the City Council for the succeeding tax year. Insurance Coverage The City is largely self-insured for general liability exposures, except for liability incurred on premises owned, rented, or occupied by the Department of Airports (the “Airport”). The City carries Commercial Excess Liability Insurance with $1,000,000 self-insured retention per occurrence. Limits of coverage are as follows: $2,000,000 per occurrence general liability; $4,000,000 general aggregate; $2,000,000 combined single limit commercial auto liability; $2,000,000 public officials and employment practices liability; and $2,000,000 law enforcement liability. The City also carries Cyber Liability insurance with a $5,000,000 limit and $50,000 deductible. The Airport carries Commercial General Liability insurance with a $500,000,000 policy limit and no deductible. The Governmental Immunity Fund (an internal service fund) has been established to pay liability claims other than those covered by the Airport policy, along with certain litigation expenses. The City carries an all risk property insurance policy (the “Policy”) with a $500,000,000 aggregate limit and a $100,000 deductible, except for earthquake, which carries a 1% deductible per location; and flood, which carries a $250,000 or $500,000 deductible, depending on location. Sub-limits include: (1) earthquake limit of $125,000,000 aggregate; (2) flood limit of $100,000,000 aggregate; and (3) dams and appurtenant structures limit of $30,000,000 aggregate except for Mountain Dell, which carries a $60,000,000 aggregate limit. (4) Business interruption and extra expense are covered at $10,000,000. (5) Terrorism loss is covered at $5,000,000. The City is self-insured for property loss above the limits and below the deductibles. The operating departments of the General Fund or proprietary funds assume financial responsibility for risk retained by the City for property damage. The Airport is covered by a separate all risk property insurance policy with a $1,000,000,000 limit, subject to sub-limits and a $100,000 deductible. Locations covered include Salt Lake City International Airport, South Valley Regional Airport, and Tooele Valley Airport. Boiler and machinery carry a deductible of $100,000. Flood carries a sub-limit of $150,000,000 and Earth movement carries sub-limit of $100,000,000 with a 2% deductible per unit, subject to a $100,000 minimum and $5,000,000 maximum in any one occurrence (defined as a 168-hour period). Windstorm or hail carries a $1,000,000,000 limit, subject to a minimum $100,000 deductible per occurrence. Time element including business interruption, extra expense, rental value, and rental income is covered at $200,000,000 with a $100,000 deductible. Sub-limits apply for debris removal ($25,000,000), valuable papers and records ($25,000,000), errors and omissions ($10,000,000), and named storm ($1,000,000,000). 37 4867-1497-0902, v. 2 The Treasurer, Deputy Treasurer, and Chief Financial Officer are each covered under $10,000,000 public official bonds. The City also has a government crime policy covering (1) employee theft with a $1,000,000 limit and $20,000 deductible; (2) forgery or alteration with a $25,000 limit and $1,000 deductible; (3) theft of money and securities with a $50,000 limit and $2,500 deductible; (4) robbery or safe burglary with a $50,000 limit and $2,500 deductible; (5) money orders and counterfeit money with a $50,000 limit and $2,500 deductible; and (6) computer fraud and funds transfer fraud, each carrying $1,000,000 limits and $20,000 deductibles. The City purchases excess workers’ compensation insurance with a $30,000,000 limit and a $750,000 self- insured retention per occurrence. The City is self-insured for losses above the limits and below the deductibles. Further, the City is self-insured for unemployment. The Risk Management Fund (an internal service fund) has been established to pay these claims along with health insurance premiums and certain administrative expenses. During the past three fiscal years, there have been no settlements that exceeded the self-insured retentions. Investment Policy City Policy. It is the policy of the City to invest public funds in accordance with the principles of sound treasury management and in compliance with State and local laws, regulations, and other policies governing the investment of public funds, specifically, according to the terms and conditions of the State Money Management Act, Title 51, Chapter 7 of the Utah Code (the “Money Management Act”) and Rules of the State Money Management Council as currently amended, and the City’s own written investment policy. The following investment objectives, in order of priority, are met when investing public funds: safety of principal, need for liquidity, and maximum yield on investments consistent with the first two objectives. The City may use investment advisers to conduct investment transactions on its behalf as permitted by the Money Management Act and local ordinance or policy. Investment advisers must be certified by the Director of the Utah State Division of Securities of the Department of Commerce (the “Director”). Broker/dealers and agents who desire to become certified dealers must be certified by the Director and meet the requirements of the Money Management Act. Only qualified depositories as certified by Utah’s Commissioner of Financial Institutions are eligible to receive and hold deposits of public funds. The State Money Management Council issues a quarterly list of certified investment advisers, certified dealers, and qualified depositories authorized by State statute to conduct transactions with public treasurers. Transactions involving authorized deposits or investments of public funds may be conducted only through issuers of securities authorized by Section 51-7-11(3) of the Utah Code, qualified depositories included in the current State list, and certified dealers included in the current State list. The City Treasurer must take delivery of all investments purchased, including those purchased through a certified investment adviser. This may be accomplished by the City Treasurer taking physical delivery of the security or delivering the security to a bank or trust company designated by the City Treasurer for safekeeping. The City Treasurer may use a qualified depository bank for safekeeping securities or maintain an account with a money center bank for the purpose of settling investment transactions and safekeeping and collecting those investments. City policy provides that not more than 25% of total City funds or 25% of the qualified depository’s allotment, whichever is less, can be invested in any one qualified depository. Not more than 20% of total City funds may be invested in any one certified out-of-state depository institution. However, there is no limitation placed on the amount invested with the Utah Public Treasurer’s Investment Fund (“PTIF”) and other money market mutual funds, provided that the overall standards of investments achieve the City’s policy objectives. All funds pledged or otherwise dedicated to the payment of interest on and principal of bonds or notes issued by the City are invested in accordance with the terms and borrowing instruments applicable to such bonds or notes. City policy also provides that the remaining term to maturity of an investment may not exceed the period of availability of the funds invested. The investment of City funds cannot be of a speculative nature. The City’s entire portfolio is currently in compliance with all of the provisions of the Money Management Act. The Utah Public Treasurers’ Investment Fund. The PTIF is a local government investment fund, established in 1981, and managed by the State Treasurer. Generally, a substantial portion of the City’s funds are on deposit in the PTIF (currently approximately $680 million). All investments in the PTIF must comply with the Money Management 38 4867-1497-0902, v. 2 Act and rules of the State Money Management Council. The PTIF invests primarily in money market securities. Securities in the PTIF include certificates of deposit, commercial paper, short-term corporate notes, obligations of the U.S. Treasury and securities of certain agencies of the federal government. By policy, the maximum weighted average adjusted life of the portfolio is not to exceed 90 days and the maximum final maturity of any security purchased by the PTIF is limited to five years. Safekeeping and audit controls for all investments owned by the PTIF must comply with the Money Management Act. All securities purchased are delivered versus payment to the custody of the State Treasurer or the State Treasurer’s safekeeping bank, assuring a perfected interest in the securities. Securities owned by the PTIF are completely segregated from securities owned by the State. The State has no claim on assets owned by the PTIF except for any investment of State moneys in the PTIF. Deposits are not insured or otherwise guaranteed by the State. Investment activity of the State Treasurer in the management of the PTIF is reviewed monthly by the State Money Management Council and is audited by the State Auditor. The information in this section concerning the current status of the PTIF has been obtained from sources the City believes to be reliable, but the City takes no responsibility for the accuracy thereof. INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS Series 2022 Bonds are Limited Obligations The Series 2022 Bonds are special limited obligations of the City, payable solely from the Revenues, moneys, securities and funds pledged therefor in the Indenture. The Revenues consist of the revenues, fees and other income received by the City from the operation of the System. See “SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT FOR THE BONDS—General” herein. The Series 2022 Bonds do not constitute a general obligation indebtedness nor are they secured by a pledge of the ad valorem taxing power or the full faith and credit of the City, and are not obligations of the State or any other agency or other political subdivision or entity of the State. The City will not mortgage or grant any security interest in the improvements financed with the proceeds of the Series 2022 Bonds or any portion thereof to secure payment of the Series 2022 Bonds. Potential Impact of the Coronavirus [To be updated] The recent outbreak of the novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) and its spread, which has been designated a global pandemic by the World Health Organization, is negatively impacting local, state and global economies, as governments, businesses, and citizens react to, plan for, and try to prevent or slow further transmission of the virus. Financial markets, including the stock markets in the United States and globally, have seen significant recent volatility and declines that have been attributed to COVID-19 concerns. On March 6, 2020, as part of the State’s response to address the global disease outbreak, the Governor declared a state of emergency. On March 13, 2020, a national emergency was declared. The City declared a state of local emergency on March 11, 2020. Since then, the City has slowly loosened restrictions but continues to be on an “orange” (moderate risk) phase of response to COVID- 19, while the rest of the State has moved to the “yellow” (low risk) or “green” (new normal) phases, as further described on the State’s Health Guidance System on the State’s website. See “THE CITY–Recent Developments– COVID-19” for additional information. The Department’s continuity of operations and service level have not been materially impacted. The Department’s continuity of operations during the pandemic include a myriad of actions to (1) protect public health; (2) protect employees; and (3) continue all essential functions. It should be noted that as of June 23, 2020, the Department has not had any reported cases of employees who tested positive for COVID-19. The Department has addressed the COVID-19 pandemic in a multifaceted manner and has developed plans not only for reopening, but also for phasing through different risk levels as the pandemic evolves. It is assumed that as the pandemic continues to evolve, the risk levels will move between higher, moderate, and lower risks in both 39 4867-1497-0902, v. 2 directions. The Department has developed a flexible plan to more easily adapt to the different risk phases over time. Examples of other actions taken include: • Identification of all essential functions and positions; • Provision of personal protective equipment (PPE) and policies and training for implementing PPE; • Staggered work shifts; • Closure of public buildings to the general public; • Phone and online bill-pay, with exceptions for customers that must pay in cash; • All work functions that can be done remotely are done so (about 25% of the Department’s workforce is working remotely); • Provision of pandemic leave for those who are ill, taking care of a sick person, or taking care of children who do not have childcare; • Development of pandemic-specific human resource policies to protect employees and public health; and • Development of automated workflows for contracts, agreements, procurement, and invoice processing. Net Revenue collections and the ability of the City to make debt service payments on the Series 2022 Bonds may be materially adversely affected by the continued spread of COVID-19. Neither the City nor the Department, however, can predict the effect the continued spread of COVID-19 will have on the finances or operations of the City or the System. The Net Revenues pledged to pay System operating expenses and debt service on the Series 2022 Bonds could be negatively impacted if, for example, the customers of the System become unable to pay the amounts billed for use of the System. The Series 2022 Bonds will not constitute an obligation or indebtedness or pledge of the general credit of the City within the meaning or application of any constitutional, charter or statutory limitation or provision, and the owners of the Series 2022 Bonds will never have the right to compel any exercise of the taxing power of the City or to demand payment of the Series 2022 Bonds or interest thereon out of any funds other than from the Net Revenues. See “SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT FOR THE SERIES 2022 BONDS.” Climate Change Climate change caused by human activities may have adverse effects on the System and on the Water Utility in particular. As greenhouse gas emissions continue to accumulate in the atmosphere as a result of economic activity, climate change is expected to intensify, increasing the frequency, severity and timing of extreme weather events such as coastal storm surges, drought, wildfires, floods and heat waves, and raising sea levels. The future fiscal impact of climate change on the System is difficult to predict, but it could be significant and it could have a material adverse effect on the City’s finances by requiring greater expenditures to counteract the effects of climate change or by changing the business and activities of City customers. The City considers the potential effects of climate change in its planning. The Department anticipates and plans for climate change impacts in several ways. The most recent water supply and demand plan includes consideration of impacts to water supply availability and water demand changes in the long-range projections. This informs water resource management, including water conservation goals. A watershed management plan is being updated to include climate change impacts to vegetation and wildfire risk in source water areas. An update to the Department’s stormwater management plan is also ongoing, including consideration of storm intensification impacts to flood risk. The Department has also contracted with the University of Utah to conduct an iterative assessment of localized climate data, projected impacts, and adaptation measures. This information is used to guide short- and long-term decisions regarding water resources, capital investments, and planning. The Department is additionally addressing its role in greenhouse gas mitigation. A renewable energy plan and wire to water efficiency study were developed to inform capital and operational decisions to reduce the Department’s own operational greenhouse gas emissions. Cybersecurity The risk of cyberattacks against commercial enterprises, including those operated for a governmental purpose, has become more prevalent in recent years. At least one of the rating agencies factors the risk of such an attack into its ratings analysis, recognizing that a cyberattack could affect liquidity, public policy and constituent 40 4867-1497-0902, v. 2 confidence, and ultimately credit quality. A cyberattack could cause the informational systems of the Department and the City to be compromised and could limit operational capacity, for short or extended lengths of time and could bring about the release of sensitive and private information. Additionally, other potential negative consequences include data loss or compromise, diversion of resources to prevent future incidences and reputational damage. To date, the City has not been the subject of a successful cyberattack. The City believes it has made all reasonable efforts to ensure that any such attack is not successful and that the information systems of the City are secure. However, there can be no assurance that a cyberattack will not occur in a manner resulting in damage to the City’s information systems or other challenges. The City has insurance coverage for cyber liability. See “FINANCIAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE CITY–Insurance Coverage” herein. TAX MATTERS The following is a summary of the material federal and State of Utah income tax consequences of holding and disposing of the Series 2022 Bonds. This summary is based upon laws, regulations, rulings and judicial decisions now in effect, all of which are subject to change (possibly on a retroactive basis). This summary does not discuss all aspects of federal income taxation that may be relevant to investors in light of their personal investment circumstances or describe the tax consequences to certain types of owners subject to special treatment under the federal income tax laws (for example, dealers in securities or other persons who do not hold the Series 2022 Bonds as a capital asset, tax- exempt organizations, individual retirement accounts and other tax deferred accounts, and foreign taxpayers), and, except for the income tax laws of the State of Utah, does not discuss the consequences to an owner under any state, local or foreign tax laws. The summary does not deal with the tax treatment of persons who purchase the Series 2022 Bonds in the secondary market. Prospective investors are advised to consult their own tax advisors regarding federal, state, local and other tax considerations of holding and disposing of the Series 2022 Bonds. Opinion of Bond Counsel In the opinion of Gilmore & Bell, P.C., Bond Counsel to the City, under the law existing as of the issue date of the Series 2022 Bonds: Federal Tax Exemption. The interest on the Series 2022 Bonds (including any original issue discount properly allocable to an owner thereof) is excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes. Alternative Minimum Tax. Interest on the Series 2022 Bonds is not an item of tax preference for purposes of computing the federal alternative minimum tax. State of Utah Tax Exemption. The interest on the Series 2022 Bonds (including any original issue discount properly allocable to an owner thereof) is exempt from State of Utah individual income taxes. Bond Counsel is expressing no opinion regarding other federal, state or local tax consequences arising with respect to the Series 2022 Bonds but has reviewed the discussion under the heading “TAX MATTERS.” Other Tax Consequences [Original Issue Discount. For federal income tax purposes, original issue discount is the excess of the stated redemption price at maturity of a Series 2022 Bond over its issue price. The stated redemption price at maturity of a Series 2022 Bond is the sum of all payments on the Series 2022 Bond other than “qualified stated interest” (i.e., interest unconditionally payable at least annually at a single fixed rate). The issue price of a Series 2022 Bond is generally the first price at which a substantial amount of the Series 2022 Bonds of that maturity have been sold to the public. Under Section 1288 of the Code, original issue discount on tax-exempt bonds accrues on a compound basis. The amount of original issue discount that accrues to an owner of a Series 2022 Bond during any accrual period generally equals (1) the issue price of that Series 2022 Bond, plus the amount of original issue discount accrued in all prior accrual periods, multiplied by (2) the yield to maturity on that Series 2022 Bond (determined on the basis of compounding at the close of each accrual period and properly adjusted for the length of the accrual period), minus (3) any interest payable on that Series 2022 Bond during that accrual period. The amount of original issue discount accrued in a particular accrual period will be considered to be received ratably on each day of the accrual period, will 41 4867-1497-0902, v. 2 be excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes, and will increase the owner’s tax basis in that Series 2022 Bond. Prospective investors should consult their own tax advisors concerning the calculation and accrual of original issue discount.] [Original Issue Premium. For federal income tax purposes, premium is the excess of the issue price of a Series 2022 Bond over its stated redemption price at maturity. The stated redemption price at maturity of a Series 2022 Bond is the sum of all payments on the Series 2022 Bond other than “qualified stated interest” (i.e., interest unconditionally payable at least annually at a single fixed rate). The issue price of a Series 2022 Bond is generally the first price at which a substantial amount of the Series 2022 Bonds of that maturity have been sold to the public. Under Section 171 of the Code, premium on tax-exempt bonds amortizes over the term of the Series 2022 Bond using constant yield principles, based on the purchaser’s yield to maturity. As premium is amortized, the owner’s basis in the Series 2022 Bond and the amount of tax-exempt interest received will be reduced by the amount of amortizable premium properly allocable to the owner, which will result in an increase in the gain (or decrease in the loss) to be recognized for federal income tax purposes on sale or disposition of the Series 2022 Bond prior to its maturity. Even though the owner’s basis is reduced, no federal income tax deduction is allowed. Prospective investors should consult their own tax advisors concerning the calculation and accrual of bond premium.] Sale, Exchange, or Retirement of Series 2022 Bonds. Upon the sale, exchange, or retirement (including redemption) of a Series 2022 Bond, an owner of the Series 2022 Bond generally will recognize gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the amount of cash and the fair market value of any property actually or constructively received on the sale, exchange, or retirement of the Series 2022 Bond (other than in respect of accrued and unpaid interest) and such owner’s adjusted tax basis in the Series 2022 Bond. To the extent a Series 2022 Bond is held as a capital asset, such gain or loss will be capital gain or loss and will be long-term capital gain or loss if the Series 2022 Bond has been held for more than 12 months at the time of sale, exchange or retirement. Reporting Requirements. In general, information reporting requirements will apply to certain payments of principal, interest and premium paid on the Series 2022 Bonds, and to the proceeds paid on the sale of the Series 2022 Bonds, other than certain exempt recipients (such as corporations and foreign entities). A backup withholding tax will apply to such payments if the owner fails to provide a taxpayer identification number or certification of foreign or other exempt status or fails to report in full dividend and interest income. The amount of any backup withholding from a payment to an owner will be allowed as a credit against the owner’s federal income tax liability. Collateral Federal Income Tax Consequences. Prospective purchasers of the Series 2022 Bonds should be aware that ownership of the Series 2022 Bonds may result in collateral federal income tax consequences to certain taxpayers, including, without limitation, financial institutions, property and casualty insurance companies, individual recipients of Social Security or Railroad Retirement benefits, certain S corporations with “excess net passive income,” foreign corporations subject to the branch profits tax, life insurance companies, and taxpayers who may be deemed to have incurred or continued indebtedness to purchase or carry or have paid or incurred certain expenses allocable to the Series 2022 Bonds. Bond Counsel expresses no opinion regarding these tax consequences. Purchasers of Series 2022 Bonds should consult their tax advisors as to the applicability of these tax consequences and other federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of the Series 2022 Bonds, including the possible application of state, local, foreign and other tax laws. LEGAL MATTERS Litigation The City Attorney reports the following matters involving potential financial liability of the City: Lawsuits are periodically filed against the City and/or its employees, involving tort and civil rights matters. The City has a statutory obligation to defend and indemnify its officers and employees in relation to lawsuits arising from acts or failures to act of the officers or employees while in the scope and course of employment. 42 4867-1497-0902, v. 2 The City maintains a governmental immunity fund for claims against the City. In the event the fund is not sufficient to pay any outstanding judgment or judgments, the City has the ability under State law to levy a limited ad valorem tax to pay such judgments. This tax levy is separate and apart from the other taxing powers of the City. The City also has contract claims, condemnation proceedings and environmental matters, none of which is expected to materially adversely affect the City’s financial condition. A non-litigation certificate or opinion executed by the City Attorney, dated the date of closing, will be provided stating, among other things, that to the best of her knowledge, after due inquiry, no litigation, with merit, in the State or federal court has been served on the City or is, to the best of her knowledge, threatened, challenging the creation, organization or existence of the City, or the titles of its officers to their respective offices, or seeking to restrain or enjoin the issuance, sale or delivery of the Series 2022 Bonds, or for the purpose of restraining or enjoining the levy and collection of taxes or assessments by the City, or directly or indirectly contesting or affecting the proceedings or the authority by which the Series 2022 Bonds are issued, the legality of the purpose for which the Series 2022 Bonds are issued, or the validity of the Series 2022 Bonds, or the issuance thereof. Approval of Legal Proceedings The authorization and issuance of the Series 2022 Bonds are subject to the approval of Gilmore & Bell, P.C., Bond Counsel. Certain legal matters will be passed upon for the City by the City Attorney. The approving opinion of Bond Counsel will be delivered with the Series 2022 Bonds. A copy of the opinion of Bond Counsel in substantially the form set forth in APPENDIX D of this Official Statement will be made available upon request from the contact persons as indicated under “INTRODUCTION—Contact Persons.” CONTINUING DISCLOSURE UNDERTAKING The City will undertake for the benefit of the Bondholders and the beneficial owners of the Series 2022 Bonds to provide certain annual financial information and operating data and notice of certain material events to the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board, all in order to assist the Underwriters in complying with Rule 15c2-12(b)(5) of the Securities and Exchange Commission. See “APPENDIX F” attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference for a form of the Continuing Disclosure Undertaking (the “Disclosure Undertaking”) that will be executed and delivered by the City. The City has entered into a number of continuing disclosure undertakings pursuant to the Rule with respect to the bonds it has issued and has contracted with a number of dissemination agents to file annual information and notices of certain events on behalf of the City. In the previous five years the City provided its annual financial information and audited financial statements to the applicable dissemination agent in advance of the deadline specified in the applicable continuing disclosure undertaking. Dissemination agents for certain of the City’s bonds filed such information late; however, the information was filed within 10 days of the deadline. Additionally, with respect to certain water and sewer bonds, during the previous five years the City filed the audited financial statements of the City’s utilities system, but did not include the audited financial statements of the City. Corrective filings have been made and the City has taken steps to ensure that in the future the City’s audited financial statements will be filed for such water and sewer revenue bonds as required. At the time of the initial corrective filings the City determined that such filings were immaterial with respect to certain maturities of the water and sewer revenue bonds that had already matured, and corrective filing were not made for such maturities. In connection with a prior purchase of certain of the City’s general obligation bonds, the purchaser requested that corrective filings be made for such previously matured water and sewer revenue bonds. The City complied with such request despite having determined that such filings were not material. A failure by the City to comply with the Disclosure Undertaking will not constitute a default under the Indenture and Beneficial Owners of the Series 2022 Bonds are limited to the remedies described in the Disclosure Undertaking. A failure by the City to comply with the Disclosure Undertaking must be reported in accordance with the Rule and must be considered by any broker, dealer or municipal securities dealer before recommending the 43 4867-1497-0902, v. 2 purchase or sale of the Series 2022 Bonds in the secondary market. Consequently, such a failure may adversely affect the transferability and liquidity of the Series 2022 Bonds and their market price. See the FORM OF CONTINUING DISCLOSURE UNDERTAKING attached hereto as APPENDIX F for the information to be provided, the events which will be noticed on an occurrence basis and the other terms of the Disclosure Undertaking, including termination, amendment and remedies.

Flow of Funds (a) On or before the fourth Business Day prior to the end of each month, after payment of unpaid Operation and Maintenance Costs then due, the City shall transfer from the Revenue Fund, to the extent of moneys available therein, and deposit, in the following order: Into the following Funds and Accounts, the amounts set forth below: (A) Into the Principal and Interest Fund: (i) for credit to the Bond Service Account, the amount, if any, required so that the balance in each of the Series Subaccounts in the Bond Service Account shall equal the Accrued Debt Service on the Series of Bonds and, to the extent required by the Supplemental Indenture creating such Series Subaccount, on any Security Instrument Obligations for which such Series Subaccount was established; provided that if there are not sufficient moneys to satisfy the requirements of this subsection (A) with respect to all Series Subaccounts in the Bond Service Account, all moneys available for distribution among such Series Subaccounts shall be deposited into the Bond Service Account and distributed on a pro rata basis to the deficient Series Subaccounts in the Bond Service Account, such distribution to be determined by multiplying the amount available for distribution by the proportion that the deficiency for each Series Subaccount bears to the total deficiency for all Series Subaccounts; and provided further, that in the event and to the extent moneys have been deposited in any Project Account pursuant to the Indenture to pay capitalized interest, such moneys shall be transferred from the appropriate Project Account and deposited into the appropriate Series Subaccount in the Bond Service Account in an amount sufficient to cause the balance in such Series Subaccount to equal the interest component of Accrued Debt Service on the Series of Bonds; and (ii) for credit to the Debt Service Reserve Account, without priority or preference as between subsections (A) or (B): (A) if, after the issuance of a Series of Bonds, an amount equal to the Debt Service Reserve Requirement is not on deposit in the Series Subaccount established in the Debt Service Reserve Account for such Series of Bonds because sufficient moneys for that purpose were not required by a Supplemental Indenture to be deposited into the Debt Service Reserve Account pursuant to the Indenture, such amount as shall be required by the Supplemental Indenture authorizing such Series of Bonds, in not to exceed sixty (60) approximately equal monthly installments commencing no later than the business day immediately preceding the first interest payment date of such Series of Bonds, computed as of the contemplated date of issuance of such Series of Bonds, necessary to cause the balance in such Series Subaccount to equal the Debt Service Reserve Requirement; (B) if moneys shall ever have been paid out of any Series Subaccount in the Debt Service Reserve Account for the purpose specified in the Indenture or if for any other reason moneys in any Series Subaccount in the Debt Service Reserve Account shall have been removed and in either case if such moneys shall not have been replaced from any source, such amount as shall be necessary to cause either the amount so paid out of or removed from such Series Subaccount in the Debt Service Reserve Account to be replaced, or the amount to be on deposit in such Series Subaccount to be equal to the Debt Service Reserve Requirement attributable to the corresponding Series of Bonds, whichever is less; and (C) with respect to a Series of Bonds for which a Debt Service Reserve Requirement has been established pursuant to a Supplemental Indenture and for which the Debt Service Reserve Requirement has been increased because of a decline in the amount by which Net Revenues B-17 4867-1497-0902, v. 2 exceeded Aggregate Debt Service, such amount, in monthly installments, as shall be required by the Supplemental Indenture authorizing such Series of Bonds to cause the balance in such Series Subaccount to equal the Debt Service Reserve Requirement then existing for such Series of Bonds; provided that if there are not sufficient moneys in the Revenue Fund to satisfy the requirements of this subsection (ii), all moneys available for distribution among the Series Subaccounts in the Debt Service Reserve Account shall be deposited into the Debt Service Reserve Account and distributed pro rata based on the amount of the deficiencies to the deficient Series Subaccounts in the Debt Service Reserve Account. (B) Into the Renewal and Replacement Fund: (i) if the Renewal and Replacement Fund Reserve Requirement shall ever be increased in accordance with the Indenture, the amount specified in a Written Certificate of the City identifying a schedule of sixty (60) approximately equal monthly deposits into the Renewal and Replacement Fund sufficient to cause the balance in the Renewal and Replacement Fund to equal the increased Renewal and Replacement Fund Reserve Requirement as required in the Indenture; and (ii) if moneys shall ever have been paid out of the Renewal and Replacement Fund and shall not have been replaced from any source, the amount of money necessary, in not to exceed one hundred twenty (120) approximately equal monthly installments, to cause the amount so paid out of the Renewal and Replacement Fund to be replaced, or to cause to be on deposit in the Renewal and Replacement Fund an amount equal to the Renewal and Replacement Fund Reserve Requirement, whichever is less; provided, however, that so long as there shall be held in the Principal and Interest Fund, excluding any Reserve Instrument Coverage, an amount sufficient to pay in full all Outstanding Bonds and all outstanding Repayment Obligations in accordance with their terms (including Principal or applicable sinking fund Redemption Price and interest thereon), no deposits shall be required to be made into the Principal and Interest Fund. (b) Amounts remaining in the Revenue Fund at the end of each month after payment of the amounts required by subsection (a) of this Section may be applied by the City, free and clear of the lien of the Indenture, to any one or more of the following, to the extent permitted by law: (1) the purchase or redemption of any Bonds and payment of expenses in connection therewith; (2) payments of principal or redemption price of and interest on any bonds, including general obligation or junior lien revenue bonds of the City, issued to acquire improvements or extensions to the System; (3) payments into any Project Account or Accounts established in the Construction Fund for application to the purposes of such Accounts; (4) payment of the costs of capital improvements to the System; and (5) any other lawful purpose of the City. (c) Upon any purchase or redemption, pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section, of Bonds of any Series and maturity for which Sinking Fund Installments shall have been established, the principal amount of such Bonds shall be credited toward such Sinking Fund Installments in such order of their due dates as directed by the City, unless the City shall elect to have the Sinking Fund Installments next due credited as provided in the Indenture. Principal and Interest Fund - Bond Service Account (a) Each Supplemental Indenture providing for the issuance of a Series of Bonds shall establish a separate Series Subaccount in the Bond Service Account for each such Series of Bonds issued provided, however, that such a separate Series Subaccount need not be established in the Principal and Interest Fund for a Series of Bonds if such Series of Bonds is secured by Series Subaccount in the Debt Service Reserve Account that also secures one or more other Series of Bonds as contemplated by the Indenture (in which case the Supplemental Indenture may provide for the payment of principal and interest on such Series of Bonds from the same Series Subaccount in the Principal and Interest Fund as the principal and interest on such other Series of Bonds are payable from). There shall be deposited into each Series Subaccount the amounts required to be so deposited pursuant to the Indenture. Any payments made by a Security Instrument Issuer with respect to a Series of Bonds shall be deposited into the Series B-18 4867-1497-0902, v. 2 Subaccount in the Bond Service Account relating to such Series of Bonds, subject to the provisions of the Supplemental Indenture authorizing the issuance of such Series of Bonds. (b) The Trustee shall pay out of the appropriate Series Subaccount in the Bond Service Account to the respective Paying Agent (1) on or before each interest payment date for each Series of Bonds, the amount required for the interest payable on such date; (2) on or before each Principal Installment due date, the amount required for the Principal Installment payable on such due date; and (3) on or before any redemption date for each Series of Bonds, the amount required for the payment of Redemption Price of and accrued interest on such Bonds then to be redeemed. Such amounts shall be applied by the Paying Agents to pay Principal Installments and Redemption Price of, and interest on the related Series of Bonds. The Trustee shall pay out of the appropriate Series Subaccount in the Bond Service Account to the Security Instrument Issuer, if any, that has issued a Security Instrument with respect to such Series of Bonds an amount equal to any Security Instrument Repayment Obligation then due and payable to such Security Instrument Issuer. If payment is so made on Pledged Bonds held for the benefit of the Security Instrument Issuer, a corresponding payment on the Security Instrument Repayment Obligation shall be deemed to have been made (without requiring an additional payment by the City) and the Trustee shall keep its records accordingly. (c) Except as otherwise provided in a Supplemental Indenture authorizing a Series of Bonds, amounts accumulated in any Series Subaccount in the Bond Service Account with respect to any Sinking Fund Installment (together with amounts accumulated therein with respect to interest on the Bonds for which such Sinking Fund Installment was established) shall, if so directed by the City in a Written Request not less than 30 days before the due date of such Sinking Fund Installment, be applied by the Trustee to (1) the purchase of Bonds of the Series and maturity for which such Sinking Fund Installment was established, (2) the redemption at the applicable sinking fund Redemption Price of such Bonds, if then redeemable by their terms, or (3) any combination of (1) and (2). All purchases of any Bonds pursuant to this subsection (c) shall be made at prices not exceeding the applicable sinking fund Redemption Price of such Bonds plus accrued interest, and such purchases shall be made in such manner as the City shall direct the Trustee. The applicable sinking fund Redemption Price (or Principal amount of maturing Bonds) of any Bonds so purchased or redeemed shall be deemed to constitute part of the Bond Service Account until such Sinking Fund Installment date for the purpose of calculating the amount of such Account. As soon as practicable after the 60th day preceding the due date of any such Sinking Fund Installment, the Trustee shall proceed to call for redemption on such due date, by giving notice as required by the Indenture, Bonds of the Series and maturity for which such Sinking Fund Installment was established (except in the case of Bonds maturing on a Sinking Fund Installment date) in such amount as shall be necessary to complete the retirement of the unsatisfied balance of such Sinking Fund Installment. The Trustee shall pay out of the appropriate Series Subaccount in the Bond Service Account to the appropriate Paying Agents, on or before such redemption date (or maturity date), the amount required for the redemption of the Bonds so called for redemption (or for the payment of such Bonds then maturing), and such amount shall be applied by such Paying Agents to such redemption (or payment). All expenses in connection with the purchase or redemption of Bonds shall be paid by the City as an Operation and Maintenance Cost. Principal and Interest Fund - Debt Service Reserve Account (a) Each Supplemental Indenture providing for the issuance of a Series of Bonds may establish in the Debt Service Reserve Account a separate Series Subaccount for each such Series of Bonds issued and, if established, shall specify the Debt Service Reserve Requirement to be on deposit in such Series Subaccount. (b) If on the third Business Day prior to the end of any month, after the deposit of moneys required by the Indenture the amount in any Series Subaccount in the Bond Service Account shall be less than the amount required to be in such Series Subaccount, the Trustee shall (1) apply amounts from the corresponding Series Subaccount, if any, in the Debt Service Reserve Account to the extent necessary to make good the deficiency; and (2) to the extent that moneys and investments available in the corresponding Series Subaccount, if any, in the Debt Service Reserve Account are not sufficient to eliminate the deficiency in the Series Subaccount in the Bond Service Account and Reserve Instruments are in effect for the corresponding Series of Bonds, immediately make a demand for payment on all such Reserve Instruments, to the maximum extent authorized by such Reserve Instruments, in the amount necessary to make up such deficiency, and immediately deposit such payment upon receipt thereof in the appropriate Series Subaccount in the Bond Service Account. B-19 4867-1497-0902, v. 2 (c) Whenever the moneys on deposit in a Series Subaccount in the Debt Service Reserve Account, including investment earnings and Reserve Instrument Coverage with respect thereto, shall exceed the Debt Service Reserve Requirement for such Series Subaccount, such excess shall be transferred by the Trustee to the corresponding Series Subaccount in the Bond Service Account and shall be used to pay Debt Service on the related Bonds, subject to any limitations contained in the Tax Certificate relating to such Bonds. (d) Whenever the amount in a Series Subaccount in the Debt Service Reserve Account, excluding any Reserve Instrument Coverage, together with the amount in the corresponding Series Subaccount in the Bond Service Account for a Series of Bonds, is sufficient to pay in full all Outstanding Bonds of such Series and related Repayment Obligations in accordance with their terms (including Principal or applicable sinking fund Redemption Price and interest thereon), the funds on deposit in such Series Subaccount in the Debt Service Reserve Account shall be transferred to the corresponding Series Subaccount in the Bond Service Account and no deposits shall be required to be made into such Series Subaccount in the Debt Service Reserve Account. (e) Unless otherwise provided in a Supplemental Indenture authorizing a Series of Bonds, in calculating the amount on deposit in a Series Subaccount in the Debt Service Reserve Account, the amount of the Reserve Instrument Coverage for the corresponding Series of Bonds will be treated as an amount on deposit in such Series Subaccount in the Debt Service Reserve Account. So long as any Series of Bonds rated by a Rating Agency is Outstanding, the City agrees that it will not invest moneys held in a Series Subaccount in the Debt Service Reserve Account in a Reserve Instrument without providing notice of such investment to such Rating Agency. (f) Unless otherwise specified in the Supplemental Indenture authorizing a Series of Bonds, no Reserve Instrument for such Series of Bonds shall be allowed to expire unless and until cash has been deposited into the appropriate Series Subaccount in the Debt Service Reserve Account, or a new Reserve Instrument has been issued in place of the expiring Reserve Instrument, in an amount or to provide coverage at least equal to the Debt Service Reserve Requirement for the corresponding Series of Bonds. Renewal and Replacement Fund (a) The amounts in the Renewal and Replacement Fund shall, from time to time, be applied by the City to the payment of extraordinary Operation and Maintenance Costs, and contingencies, including the prevention or correction of any unusual loss or damage to the System to the extent not covered by the proceeds of insurance or other moneys recoverable as a result thereof. (b) If on the third Business Day prior to the end of any month the amount in any Series Subaccount in the Bond Service Account shall be less than the amount required to be in such Series Subaccount in the Bond Service Account pursuant to the Indenture, and there shall not be on deposit in the corresponding Series Subaccount in the Debt Service Reserve Account sufficient moneys to cure such deficiency, the Trustee shall request that the City transfer from the Renewal and Replacement Fund and deposit into such Series Subaccount in the Bond Service Account the amount necessary (or all the moneys in the Renewal and Replacement Fund, if less than the amount necessary) to make up such deficiency; provided that to the extent that such deficiencies occur in more than one Series Subaccount in the Bond Service Account and there are insufficient moneys available in the Renewal and Replacement Fund to make up such deficiencies, the amount transferred and deposited from the Renewal and Replacement Fund shall be distributed on a pro rata basis to the deficient Series Subaccounts in the Bond Service Account based on the proportion that the total funds available to remedy the total deficiency bears to the deficiency for each Series of Bonds. (c) At the end of each Fiscal Year any balance of moneys or Investment Securities in the Renewal and Replacement Fund in excess of the Renewal and Replacement Fund Reserve Requirement and not required to meet any deficiency in the Bond Service Account or needed for any of the purposes for which the Renewal and Replacement Fund was established, shall be transferred by the City and deposited into the Revenue Fund. Purchase of Bonds The City may, to the extent permitted under applicable law and covenants, including any covenants contained in any Tax Certificate, purchase Bonds of any Series from any available funds at public or private sale, as and when B-20 4867-1497-0902, v. 2 and at such prices as the City may in its discretion determine. All Bonds so purchased shall at such times as shall be selected by the City be delivered to and cancelled by the Trustee or any Registrar and shall thereafter be delivered to, or upon the order of, the City, and no Bonds shall be issued in place thereof. In the case of the purchase of Bonds of a Series and maturity for which Sinking Fund Installments shall have been established, the City shall, by a Written Request of the City delivered to the Trustee, elect the manner in which the Principal amount of such Bonds shall be credited toward Sinking Fund Installments, consistent with the procedures specified in the use of the Bond Service Account. COVENANTS OF THE CITY Punctual Payment of Bonds The City will punctually pay or cause to be paid the Principal, Redemption Price and interest on the Bonds and any Repayment Obligations in strict conformity with the terms of the Bonds, any Security Instrument Agreement, any Reserve Instrument Agreement and the Indenture, and the City will punctually pay or cause to be paid all Sinking Fund Installments which may be established for any Series of Bonds. Construction of Projects If the City undertakes the acquisition or construction of a Project, the City shall cause the acquisition or construction to be accomplished in a sound and economic manner and as expeditiously as is practicable. Against Encumbrances The City will not create, and will use its good faith efforts to prevent the creation of, any mortgage or lien upon the System or any property essential to the proper operation of the System or to the maintenance of the Revenues. The City will not create, or permit the creation of, any pledge, lien, charge or encumbrance upon the Revenues except only as provided in or permitted by the Indenture. Against Sale or Other Disposition of Property except under Conditions The City will not sell or otherwise dispose of any property essential to the proper operation of the System or the maintenance of the Revenues, provided that this covenant shall not be construed to prevent the disposal by the City of property which in its judgment has become inexpedient to use in connection with the System when other property of equal value is substituted therefor. The City will not enter into any lease or other agreement which impairs or impedes the operation of the System or which impairs or impedes the rights of the Bondholders with respect to the Revenues. The Trustee shall have no responsibility with respect to any such leases or agreements entered into by the City. Operation and Maintenance The City will cause the System to be operated continuously, to the extent practicable under conditions as they may from time to time exist, in an efficient and economical manner, and will at all times cause to be maintained, preserved and kept, the System, including all parts thereof and appurtenances thereto, in good repair, working order and condition, and in such manner that the operating efficiency thereof will be of high character, and the City will from time to time cause to be made all necessary and proper repairs and replacements so that the rights and security of the Holders of the Bonds may be fully protected and preserved. Qualified Engineer The City will at all times have under engagement a Qualified Engineer to assist it as appropriate, who shall advise the City concerning matters affecting the general operation of the System and make recommendations regarding said operations and construction of improvements and extensions thereto. B-21 4867-1497-0902, v. 2 Power to Own the System and Collect Rates and Fees The City has, and will have so long as any Bonds are Outstanding or Repayment Obligations are outstanding, good, right and lawful power to own the System and to fix and collect rates, fees and other charges in connection with the System. Maintenance of Revenues (a) The City will at all times: (1) faithfully and punctually perform all duties with reference to the System required by the Constitution and laws of the State; and (2) comply with all terms, covenants and provisions, express and implied, of all contracts and agreements entered into by it for System use and services and all other contracts or agreements affecting or involving the System or the business of the City with respect thereto. The City shall promptly collect all charges due for System use and service supplied by it as the same become due, and shall at all times maintain and enforce its rights against any person who does not pay such charges. To the extent permitted by law the City will bill each customer receiving water, sewer, stormwater, street lighting and other public utilities services included in the System in a single bill, will refuse to accept payment for any of such services unless payment for the other services is also made, and if payment for any of such service is permitted to become delinquent and remain so for the period established by the City, will, if practicable, discontinue the service of water to any premises the owner, tenant or occupant of which shall be so delinquent, and will not recommence the supply of water to such premises until all delinquent charges with penalties shall have been paid in full. This paragraph shall not be construed as requiring the City to refuse partial payment of any bill for services of the System, so long as such payment is applied proportionately to charges for each of such services. (b) The City will do, execute, acknowledge and deliver, or cause to be done, executed, acknowledged and delivered, such Supplemental Indentures and such further accounts, instruments and transfers as the Trustee may reasonably require for the better assuring, pledging and confirming to the Trustee all and singular the Revenues and the other amounts pledged hereby to the payment of the principal of, Redemption Price and interest on the Bonds. The City will not sell, convey, mortgage, encumber or otherwise dispose of any part of the Revenues, except as otherwise permitted hereunder. (c) Except under contractual arrangements in effect on the date of the execution and delivery of the Indenture, the City will not permit service to be supplied by the System to the City or any department thereof, or to any person, firm, corporation, public or private, or to any public agency or instrumentality without due consideration to be received in exchange. All payments so made shall be considered Revenues and shall be applied in the manner hereinabove provided for the application of the other Revenues. (d) The City, so far as it legally may, covenants and agrees for the protection and security of the Bonds and the Bondholders from time to time that it will not grant a franchise for the operation of any competing System in the boundaries of the City until all the Bonds shall have been retired. Observance of Laws and Regulations The City will well and truly keep, observe and perform all valid and lawful obligations or orders or regulations now or hereafter imposed on it by contract, or prescribed by any law of the United States of America or of the State, or by any officer, board or commission having jurisdiction or control, as a condition of the continued enjoyment of any and every right, privilege, license or franchise now owned or hereafter acquired by the City, including its right to exist and carry on business, to the end that such rights, privileges, licenses and franchises shall be maintained and preserved, and shall not become abandoned, forfeited or in any manner impaired; provided, however, that the City shall not be required to comply with any such orders so long as the validity or application thereof shall be contested in good faith. B-22 4867-1497-0902, v. 2 Payment of Taxes and Claims The City will, from time to time, duly pay and discharge, or cause to be paid and discharged, any taxes, assessments or other governmental charges lawfully imposed upon any of the properties of the System or upon the Revenues, when the same shall become due, and will duly observe and conform to all valid requirements of any governmental authority relative to any such properties. The City will keep the System and all parts thereof free from judgments, mechanics’ and materialmen’s liens (except those arising by mere operation of law from the construction of any Project and other improvements of the System which are paid in due course) and free from all other liens, claims, demands and encumbrances of whatsoever prior nature or character, to the end that the priority of the lien of the Indenture on the Revenues may at all times be maintained and preserved, and be free from any claim or liability which might embarrass or hamper the City in conducting its business. Insurance Subject in each case to the condition that insurance is obtainable at reasonable rates and upon reasonable terms and conditions: (a) The City will procure and maintain, or cause to be procured and maintained, at all times while any Bonds shall be Outstanding, insurance on the System and public liability insurance in such amounts and against such risks as are usually insurable in connection with similar facilities and are normally carried by municipalities engaged in the operation of similar properties, such insurance shall be maintained with responsible insurers or shall be self- insurance in the manner and to the extent authorized or permitted by law; and (b) The City will secure and maintain adequate fidelity insurance or bonds on all officers and employees handling or responsible for funds of the City related to the System. provided, however, that nothing in this Section shall be construed in such manner as to result in making the Bonds an indebtedness of the City, and if it shall ever be held by any court of competent jurisdiction that any or all of the provisions of this Section are invalid or that the enforcement of the provisions of this Section would make the Bonds invalid or unenforceable, said provisions of this Section shall be considered to be null and void. The Trustee shall have no duty to verify the insurance or to determine if such insurance is sufficient for purposes of this Section. Accounts and Reports (a) The City will at all times keep, or cause to be kept, proper books of record and accounts, separate and apart from all other records and accounts of the City, in which complete and accurate entries shall be made of all transactions relating to the System and the Revenues. Such books of record and accounts shall at all times during business hours be subject to the inspection of the Trustee, any Security Instrument Issuer or the Holders of not less than five percent (5%) of the Bonds then Outstanding, or their representatives authorized in writing. (b) The City will place on file with the Trustee and with any Security Instrument Issuer annually within two hundred ten (210) days after the close of each Fiscal Year, so long as any Bonds are Outstanding, a financial statement in reasonable detail for the preceding Fiscal Year showing the Revenues, all expenditures from the Revenues for Operation and Maintenance Costs and other expenditures from the Revenues applicable to the System and the resulting Net Revenues available for Debt Service, together with a balance sheet in reasonable detail reflecting the financial condition of the System, including the balances of all Funds relating to the System as of the end of each Fiscal Year, which financial statement and balance sheet shall be accompanied by an Accountant’s Certificate. Each such audit, in addition to whatever matters may be thought proper by the Qualified Public Accountant to be included therein, shall include the following: (1) Comments regarding the manner in which the City has carried out the requirements of this Indenture and recommendations for any change or improvement in the accounting operations of the System. B-23 4867-1497-0902, v. 2 (2) A statement as to whether or not the Net Revenues for such Fiscal Year were equal to at least 1.25 times the aggregate Debt Service for such Fiscal Year. Simultaneously with the filing of such financial statement, there shall be filed with the Trustee and with any Security Instrument Issuer whose Security Instrument is in full force and effect with respect to any Series of Bonds Outstanding a report of indenture compliance conducted by the firm of Qualified Public Accountants which signed the Accountants’ Certificate attached to such financial statement. (c) The reports, statements and other documents required to be furnished to the Trustee pursuant to any provisions of the Indenture shall be available for inspection by Bondholders at the principal corporate trust office of the Trustee and shall be mailed to each Bondholder, investment banker, security dealer or other person interested in the Bonds, at their cost, who shall file a Written request therefor with the City. (d) The City shall file with the Trustee and with any Security Instrument Issuer: (i) forthwith upon becoming aware of any event of default under the Indenture or other default in the performance by the City of any covenant, agreement or condition contained in the Indenture, a Written Certificate of the City specifying such default; and (ii) not later than two hundred ten (210) days following the end of each Fiscal Year a Written Certificate of the City stating that, to the best of the knowledge and belief of the Authorized Officer of the City executing such Written Certificate, except for any default then existing which shall have been specified in the Written Certificate of the City referred to in (i) above, the City has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled each and every one of its covenants and obligations contained in the Indenture and there does not exist at the date of such Written Certificate any default by the City under the Indenture or other event which, with the lapse of time specified in the Indenture, would become an event of default under the Indenture, or, if any such default or event of default under the Indenture or other event shall so exist, specifying the same and the nature and status thereof. Rates and Charges (a) In order to assure full and continuous performance of the covenants contained in the Indenture with a margin for contingencies and temporary unanticipated reduction in Revenues, the City covenants and agrees to establish, fix, prescribe, continue and collect (directly or through leases, use agreements or other agreements, or licenses or ordinances) rates and charges for the sale or use of the System services furnished by the City which, together with other income, are reasonably expected to yield Net Revenues at least equal to the Rate Covenant Requirement for the forthcoming Fiscal Year. The term “Rate Covenant Requirement” shall mean an amount equal to at least (1) 125% of the Aggregate Debt Service excluding amounts payable on Repayment Obligations for the Fiscal Year, (2) 100% of the Repayment Obligations, if any, which will be due and payable during the forthcoming Fiscal Year and (3) 100% of the amounts, if any, then required by the Indenture to be deposited into the Debt Service Reserve Account during the forthcoming Fiscal Year. (b) If the annual financial statement made in accordance with the Indenture relating to Revenues discloses that during the period covered by such financial statement the Net Revenues were not at least equal to the Rate Covenant Requirement, the City shall not be in default under this Section if, within 60 days after the date of such financial statement (1) the City obtains recommendations from a Qualified Engineer as to the revision of the rates, charges and fees necessary to produce Net Revenues at least equal to the Rate Covenant Requirement and (2) the City, on the basis of such recommendations, revises the schedule of rates, charges and fees insofar as is practicable and revises Operation and Maintenance Costs so as to produce Net Revenues at least equal to the Rate Covenant Requirement. Maintenance of Paying Agents The City shall cause the Trustee to pay to the Paying Agents, to the extent of the moneys held by the Trustee for such payment, funds for the prompt payment of any Principal, Redemption Price and interest on the Bonds to be paid by such Paying Agents. B-24 4867-1497-0902, v. 2 Eminent Domain If all or any part of the System shall be taken by eminent domain proceedings or conveyance in lieu thereof, the net proceeds realized by the City therefrom shall be deposited with the Trustee in a special fund in trust and shall be applied and disbursed by the Trustee subject to the following conditions: (a) If such funds are sufficient to provide for the payment of the entire amount of Principal due or to become due upon all of the Outstanding Bonds and outstanding Repayment Obligations, together with all of the interest due or to become due thereon and any redemption premiums thereon, so as to enable the City to retire all of the Bonds then Outstanding, either by call and redemption at the then current Redemption Prices or by payment at maturity or partly by redemption prior to maturity and partly by payment at maturity, and to pay all Repayment Obligations, the Trustee shall apply such moneys to such retirement or payment, as appropriate, and to the payment of such interest. Pending the application of such proceeds for such purpose, such moneys shall be invested by the Trustee, at the Written Request of the City, in Government Obligations. The balance of such moneys, if any, shall be transferred to the City. (b) If such proceeds are insufficient to provide the moneys required for the purposes set forth in subsection (a) of this Section, the City shall file with the Trustee a Written Request of the City requesting the Trustee to apply such proceeds for one of the following purposes: (1) If such Written Request requests the Trustee to apply such proceeds to the purchase, redemption or retirement of Bonds, the Trustee shall apply such proceeds to the purchase, redemption or retirement of Bonds then Outstanding and Repayment Obligations then outstanding. If more than one Series of Bonds is then Outstanding, such proceeds shall be applied pro rata among each such Series to the purchase, redemption or retirement of the Bonds of each such Series and the payment of Repayment Obligations in the proportion which the Principal amount of Bonds of each such Series then Outstanding and Repayment Obligations then outstanding bears to the aggregate Principal amount of all Bonds then Outstanding and Repayment Obligations then outstanding. Pending the application of such proceeds for such purpose, such moneys shall be invested by the Trustee, at the Written Request of the City, in Government Obligations. (2) If such Written Request requests the Trustee to deliver such proceeds to the City to apply to the cost of additions, improvements or extensions to the System, the City shall also file with the Trustee an Engineer’s Certificate showing the loss in annual Revenues if any, suffered, or to be suffered, by the City by reason of such eminent domain proceedings, together with a general description of the additions, improvements or extensions to the System then proposed to be acquired or constructed by the City from such proceeds. If, in the opinion of the City (evidenced by a Written Certificate of the City filed with the Trustee), which shall be final, the additional Revenues to be derived from such additions or improvements will sufficiently offset the loss of Revenues resulting from such eminent domain proceedings so that the ability of the City to meet its obligations hereunder will not be substantially impaired, the Trustee shall pay such proceeds to the City. The City, in reaching such determination, may rely upon the Engineer’s Certificate. The City shall hold such proceeds in trust and apply them to the acquisition or construction of the additions, improvements or extensions substantially in accordance with such Engineer’s Certificate. The City shall acquire or construct such additions or improvements in a sound and economic manner and as expeditiously as is practicable. Any balance of such proceeds not required by the City for such additions, improvements or extensions shall be deposited into the Revenue Fund. (3) If such Written Request requests the Trustee to transfer such proceeds to the City for deposit into the Revenue Fund upon the basis that such eminent domain proceedings have had no effect, or at the most a relatively immaterial effect, upon the security of the Bonds, the City shall also file with the Trustee an Engineer’s Certificate stating that such eminent domain proceedings have not substantially impaired or affected the operation of the System or the ability of the System to produce Net Revenues at least equal to the Rate Covenant Requirement. Upon receipt of such Written Request and such Engineer’s Certificate, the Trustee shall transfer such proceeds to the City for deposit into the Revenue Fund. B-25 4867-1497-0902, v. 2 Reconstruction of the System; Application of Insurance Proceeds If any useful portion of the System shall be damaged or destroyed, the City shall, as expeditiously as is practicable, continuously and diligently prosecute or cause to be prosecuted the reconstruction or replacement thereof, unless the City shall file with the Trustee an Engineer’s Certificate to the effect that such reconstruction or replacement is not in the interests of the City and the Bondholders. The proceeds of any insurance paid on account of such damage or destruction, other than business interruption loss insurance or public liability insurance, shall, if the appropriate Project Account in the Construction Fund has not been closed, be paid into the Construction Fund as provided in the Indenture, or if the Construction Fund has been closed, shall be held by the Trustee in a special account and made available for, and to the extent necessary applied to, the cost of such reconstruction or replacement, if any. Pending such application, which shall be made in accordance with the Indenture, such proceeds may be invested by the Trustee at the Written Request of the City in Investment Securities which mature not later than such times as shall be necessary to provide moneys when needed to pay such cost of reconstruction or replacement. Subject to the provisions of the Prior Lien Resolution, any balance of such proceeds of insurance not needed to pay such cost of reconstruction or replacement shall be applied in the same manner as provided in the Indenture.

The City shall at all times, to the extent permitted by law, defend, preserve and protect the pledge of the Revenues and other moneys, securities and Funds pledged under the Indenture and all the rights of the Bondholders, the Security Instrument Issuers and the Reserve Instrument Issuers under the Indenture against all claims and demands of all persons whomsoever.

Each Paying Agent shall signify its acceptance of the duties and obligations imposed upon it by the Indenture by executing and delivering to the City and to the Trustee a written acceptance thereof.

Terms and Conditions of the Trusts Notwithstanding any other provision of the Indenture to the contrary, the Trustee shall, prior to an Event of Default, and after the curing of all Events of Default which may have occurred, perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in the Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations of the Trustee shall be read into the Indenture. Subject to the Indenture provisions described under the heading “EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND REMEDIES OF BONDHOLDERS” and paragraph (l) below, the Trustee shall, during the existence of any Event of Default (which has not been cured), exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs. The Trustee shall perform such duties, rights and powers only upon and subject to the following express terms and conditions: (a) The Trustee shall perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in the Indenture. The duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of the Indenture, and the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in the Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into the Indenture against the Trustee. (b) The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereof and perform any of its duties by or through attorneys, agents, receivers or employees but shall not be answerable for the conduct of any of the same who have been selected by it with ordinary care in accordance with the standard specified above, and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters of trusts of the Indenture and the duties thereunder, and may in all cases pay such reasonable compensation to all such attorneys, agents, receivers and employees as may reasonably be employed in connection with the trusts of the Indenture. The Trustee may act upon the opinion or advice of any attorney for the City or any other attorneys, if, in the case of such other attorneys, they are approved by the Trustee in the exercise of reasonable care. The Trustee shall not be responsible for any loss or damage resulting from any action or non-action in good faith in reliance upon such opinion or advice. The Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by any of its officers or employees unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining pertinent facts. (c) The Trustee shall not be responsible for any recital in the Indenture, or in the Bonds (except in respect to the certificate of authentication of the Trustee endorsed on the Bonds), or for the sufficiency of the security for the Bonds issued under the Indenture or intended to be secured by the Indenture, and the Trustee shall not be bound to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any covenants, conditions or agreements on the part of the City set forth in the Indenture; but the Trustee may require of the City full information and advice as to the performance of the covenants, conditions and agreements aforesaid. The Trustee shall have no obligation to perform any of the duties of the City under the Indenture. (d) The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use of any Bonds authenticated or delivered under the Indenture. The Trustee may become the owner or pledgee of Bonds secured by the Indenture with the same rights which it would have if not Trustee. To the extent permitted by law, the Trustee may also receive tenders and purchase in good faith Bonds from itself, including any department, affiliate or subsidiary, with like effect as if it were not Trustee. (e) The Trustee shall be protected in acting upon any notice, request, consent, certificate, order, affidavit, letter, telegram or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper person or persons. Any action taken by the Trustee pursuant to the Indenture, upon the request or authority or consent of any person who at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent is the owner of any Bond, shall be conclusive and binding upon all future owners of the same Bond and upon Bonds issued in exchange therefor or in place thereof. The Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of not less than a majority in Principal amount of the Bonds at the time Outstanding relating to the time, method and place of conducting any B-28 4867-1497-0902, v. 2 proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under the Indenture. (f) As to the existence or non-existence of any fact or as to the sufficiency or validity of any instrument, paper or proceeding, the Trustee shall be entitled to rely upon a Written Certificate of the City as sufficient evidence of the facts therein contained and shall also be at liberty to accept a similar Written Certificate to the effect that any particular dealing, transaction or action is necessary or expedient, but may at its discretion secure such further evidence deemed necessary or advisable, but shall in no case be bound to secure the same. The Trustee may accept a certificate of the City Recorder to the effect that a resolution in the form therein set forth has been adopted by the City as conclusive evidence that such resolution has been duly adopted, and is in full force and effect. (g) The permissive right of the Trustee to do things enumerated in the Indenture shall not be construed as a duty and it shall not be answerable for other than its gross negligence or willful default. (h) The Trustee shall not be required to take notice or be deemed to have notice of any default under the Indenture except: (1) Failure by the City to cause to be made any of the payments to the Trustee required to be made pursuant to the Indenture; (2) Failure of the City to file with the Trustee any document required by the Indenture to be so filed prior to or subsequent to the issuance of the Bonds; or (3) Any default with respect to a Security Instrument Agreement or a Reserve Instrument Agreement as to which any of the parties thereto has notified the Trustee in writing; provided that the Trustee shall be required to take notice or be deemed to have notice of any default hereunder if specifically notified in writing of such default by the Holders of not less than 10% in aggregate Principal amount of Bonds then Outstanding, by any Security Instrument Issuer or by any Reserve Instrument Issuer, and all notices or other instruments required by the Indenture to be delivered to the Trustee must, in order to be effective, be delivered at the principal corporate trust office of the Trustee and in the absence of such notice, the Trustee may conclusively assume there is no default except as aforesaid. (i) At any and all reasonable times the Trustee, and its duly authorized agents, attorneys, experts, engineers, accountants and representatives, shall have the right fully to inspect any and all books, papers and records of the City pertaining to the System and the Bonds, and to take such memoranda from and in regard thereto as may be desired. (j) The Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the execution of the said trusts and powers or otherwise in respect of the premises. (k) Notwithstanding anything elsewhere in the Indenture contained, the Trustee shall have the right, but shall not be required, to demand, in respect of the authentication of any Bonds or any action whatsoever within the purview of the Indenture, any showings, certificates, opinions, appraisals or other information, or corporate action or evidence thereof, in addition to that required by the terms of the Indenture, as a condition of such action by the Trustee reasonably deemed desirable by it for the purpose of establishing the right of the City to the authentication of any Bonds or the taking of any other action by the Trustee. (l) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in it by the Indenture at the request, order or direction of any of the Bondholders, Security Instrument Issuers or Reserve Instrument Issuers pursuant to the provisions of the Indenture, unless such Bondholders, Security Instrument Issuers or Reserve Instrument Issuers shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred therein or thereby. B-29 4867-1497-0902, v. 2 (m) All moneys received by the Trustee shall, until used or applied or invested as provided in the Indenture, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received, but need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by mandatory provisions of law.

The reasonable expense of every such inquiry or examination shall be paid by the City or, if paid by the Trustee, shall be repaid by the City. (o) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken by it in good faith and reasonably believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion, rights or powers conferred upon it by the Indenture. (p) None of the provisions contained in the Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur personal financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there is reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or liability is not reasonably assured to it. (q) The Trustee shall not be obligated to take or omit to take any action under the Indenture if, upon the basis of advice of counsel selected by it, the Trustee determines it would be unlawful to take or omit to take such action. (r) The Trustee shall have no responsibility with respect to any information, statement or recital in any offering memorandum or other disclosure material prepared or distributed with respect to any Series of Bonds. (s) The Trustee shall not be liable for actions taken at the direction of Bondholders or Security Instrument Issuer pursuant to the provisions relating to Events of Default and Remedies of Bondholders in the Indenture. Intervention by the Trustee In any judicial proceeding to which the City is a party and which in the opinion of the Trustee has a substantial bearing on the interests of Holders of the Bonds, the Trustee may intervene on behalf of Bondholders and shall do so if requested in writing by (i) the Holders of a majority of the aggregate Principal amount of Bonds then Outstanding or (ii) any Security Instrument Issuer of a Security Instrument then in full force and effect and not in default on a payment obligation. The rights and obligations of the Trustee under this Section are subject to the approval of a court of competent jurisdiction. Successor Trustee Any corporation or association into which the Trustee may be converted or merged, or with which it may be consolidated, or to which it may sell or transfer its corporate trust business or assets as a whole or substantially as a whole, or any corporation or association resulting from any such conversion, sale, merger, consolidation or transfer to which it is a party, shall be and become a successor Trustee under the Indenture and vested with all the trusts, powers, discretions, immunities, privileges and all other matters as was its predecessor, without the execution or filing of any instrument or any further act, deed or conveyance on the part of the Trustee or the City, anything in the Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding. B-30 4867-1497-0902, v. 2 Concerning Any Successor Trustee Every successor Trustee appointed under the Indenture shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to its or his predecessor and also to the City a Supplemental Indenture accepting such appointment and thereupon such successor, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the estates, properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations of its predecessor; but such predecessor shall, nevertheless, on the Written Request of the City, or of its successor, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the estates, properties, rights, powers and trusts of such predecessor under the Indenture; and every predecessor Trustee shall deliver all securities and moneys held by it as Trustee under the Indenture to its or his successor. Should any instrument in writing from the City be required by any successor Trustee for more fully and certainly vesting in such successor the estates, properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations by the Indenture vested or intended to be vested in the predecessor, any and all such instruments in writing shall, on request, be executed, acknowledged and delivered by the City. Any Trustee ceasing to act shall, nevertheless, retain a lien upon all property or funds held or collected by such Trustee to secure any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of the Indenture. Compensation of the Trustee and Its Lien The City covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee from time to time and the Trustee shall be entitled to, reasonable compensation and, except as otherwise expressly provided, the City covenants and agrees to pay or reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of the Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all persons not regularly in its employ including but not limited to any Paying Agent, Transfer Agent or Depository) except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence or bad faith. The City also covenants to indemnify the Trustee for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim of liability in the premises. The obligations of the City under this Section to compensate and indemnify the Trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee for expenses, disbursements and advances shall constitute additional indebtedness under the Indenture and shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture. Such additional indebtedness shall be secured by a lien prior to that of the Bonds upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the benefit of the Holders of particular Bonds. Appointment of Co-Trustee It is the purpose of the Indenture that there shall be no violation of any law of any jurisdiction (including particularly the law of the State) denying or restricting the right of banking corporations or associations to transact business as Trustee in such jurisdiction. It is recognized that in case of litigation under the Indenture, and in particular in case of the enforcement thereof on default, or in the case the Trustee deems that by reason of any present or future law of any jurisdiction it may not exercise any of the powers, rights or remedies granted to the Trustee in the Indenture or hold title to the properties, in trust, as granted in the Indenture, or take any action which may be desirable or necessary in connection therewith, it may be necessary that the Trustee appoint an additional individual or institution as a separate or co-trustee. The following provisions of this Section are adapted to these ends. In the event that the Trustee appoints an additional individual or institution as a separate or co-trustee, each and every remedy, power, right, claim, demand, cause of action, immunity, estate, title, interest and lien expressed or intended by the Indenture to be exercised by or vested in or conveyed to the Trustee with respect thereto shall be exercisable by and vest in such separate or co-trustee but only to the extent necessary to enable such separate or co- trustee to exercise such powers, rights and remedies, and every covenant and obligation necessary to the exercise thereof by such separate or co-trustee shall run to and be enforceable by either of them. Should any instrument in writing from the City be required by the separate trustee or co-trustee so appointed by the Trustee for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to him or it such estates, properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations, any and all such instruments in writing shall, on request, be executed, acknowledged and delivered by the City. In case any separate trustee or co-trustee, or a successor to either of them shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all the estates, properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties B-31 4867-1497-0902, v. 2 and obligations of such separate trustee or co-trustee, so far as permitted by law, shall vest in and be exercised by the Trustee until the appointment of a new trustee or successor to such separate trustee or co-trustee. Appointment, Duties and Term of Remarketing Agent The City may pursuant to a Supplemental Indenture appoint one or more Remarketing Agents from time to time to purchase or remarket Put Bonds. Appointment, Duties and Term of Additional Transfer Agents The City may appoint one or more Transfer Agents from time to time in addition to the Trustee to transfer and authenticate Bonds. Each appointment of a Transfer Agent other than the Trustee shall be made by a Supplemental Indenture which shall, among other things, specify the duties, qualifications and term of such Transfer Agent and the conditions under which such Transfer Agent may resign, be removed or be replaced. Each Transfer Agent other than the Trustee shall signify its acceptance of the duties imposed upon it pursuant to the Indenture by depositing with the City and the Trustee a written acceptance of such duties, together with a certificate stating that the Transfer Agent is duly qualified to perform such duties under the terms of the Indenture and under all applicable local, state and federal laws. MODIFICATION OR AMENDMENT OF INDENTURE Amendments Permitted (a) The Indenture or any Supplemental Indenture and the rights and obligations of the City and of the Holders of the Bonds may be modified or amended at any time by a Supplemental Indenture and pursuant to the affirmative vote at a meeting of Bondholders, or with the written consent without a meeting, (1) of the Holders of at least a majority in Principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding, and (2) in case less than all of the several Series of Bonds then Outstanding are affected by the modification or amendment, of the Holders of at least a majority in Principal amount of the Bonds of each Series so affected and then Outstanding, and (3) in case the modification or amendment changes the terms of any Sinking Fund Installment, of the Holders of at least a majority in Principal amount of the Bonds of the particular Series and maturity entitled to such Sinking Fund Installment and then Outstanding; provided, however, that if such modification or amendment will, by its terms, not take effect so long as any Bonds of any specified Series remain Outstanding, the consent of the Holders of Bonds of such Series shall not be required and Bonds of such Series shall not be deemed to be Outstanding for the purpose of any calculation of Outstanding Bonds under this Section.

provided, however, that any such modification, alteration, amendment or supplement pursuant to this Section shall not take effect until the Security Instrument Issuers at the time providing Security Instruments which are in full force and effect and not in default on any payment obligation thereunder shall have consented in writing to such modification, alteration, amendment or supplement; provided further that in determining whether any such modification, alteration, amendment or supplement is materially adverse to the Holders of the Bonds, the Trustee shall consider the effect on the Holders as if there were no Security Instrument with respect to the Bonds; (8) to make any change which in the judgment of the Trustee shall not materially adversely affect the rights or interests of the Holders of any Outstanding Bonds requested by a Rating Agency in order to obtain or maintain any rating on the Bonds or by a Security Instrument Issuer or Reserve Instrument Issuer in order to insure or provide other security for any Bonds; (9) to make any change necessary (A) to establish or maintain the exemption from federal income taxation of interest on any Series of Bonds as a result of any modifications or amendments to Section 148 of the Code (or any successor provision of law) or interpretations thereof by the Internal Revenue Service, or (B) to comply with the provisions of Section 148(f) of the Code (or any successor provision of law), including provisions for the payment of all or a portion of the investment earnings of any of the Funds established hereunder to the United States of America;

(12) to the extent permitted by a Supplemental Indenture authorizing a Series of Construction Bonds (or Bond Anticipation Notes), the designation of additions, improvements and extensions to the System as a Project by such Supplemental Indenture may be modified or amended if the City delivers to the Trustee an (a) an Accountant’s Certificate, (b) an Engineer’s Certificate or (c) any combination of (a) and (b) to the effect that such modification or amendment will not adversely impact the City’s ability to perform the covenants contained in the Indenture; (13) to provide for the appointment of a successor Trustee, a Paying Agent, a separate or co- trustee pursuant to the Indenture, a Remarketing Agent or a Transfer Agent; (14) to specify a schedule of monthly deposits into the Renewal and Replacement Fund pursuant to the Indenture;

No modification or amendment shall be permitted pursuant to subparagraph (1), (7), (8), (10), (11), (12) or (16) unless the City delivers to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel of nationally recognized standing in the field of law relating to municipal bonds to the effect that such modification or amendment will not adversely affect the tax-exempt status or validity of any Bonds affected by such modification or amendment.

The regulations shall include such provisions as the Trustee may deem advisable for evidencing the ownership of Bonds, for voting in person or by proxy, for the selection of temporary and permanent officers to conduct the meeting and inspectors to tabulate and canvass the votes cast thereat, the adjournment of any meeting and the records to be kept of the proceedings of such meeting, including rules of order for the conduct of such meeting and such other regulations as, in the opinion of the Trustee, may be necessary or desirable. (c) No resolution adopted by such meeting of Bondholders shall be binding unless and until a valid Supplemental Indenture has been executed and delivered containing the modifications or amendments authorized by the resolution adopted at such meeting. Such Supplemental Indenture shall become effective upon the filing with the Trustee of the resolution adopted at such meeting and such Supplemental Indenture. Amendment by Written Consent The City may at any time execute and deliver a valid Supplemental Indenture amending the provisions of the Bonds or of the Indenture or any Supplemental Indenture, to the extent that such an amendment is permitted by the Indenture, to become effective when and as approved by written consent of the Bondholders, and any necessary Security Instrument Issuers and Reserve Instrument Issuers, and as provided in this Section. Such Supplemental Indenture shall not be effective unless there shall have been filed with the City or the Trustee the written consents of the necessary number of Holders of the Bonds then Outstanding and the consents of any necessary Security Instrument Issuers and Reserve Instrument Issuers, and a notice shall have been published as hereinafter in this Section provided. It shall not be necessary for any consent under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed Supplemental Indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. Each consent of a Bondholder shall be effective only if accompanied by proof of ownership of the Bonds for which such consent is given, which proof shall be such as is permitted by the Indenture. Any such consent shall be binding upon the Holder of the Bonds giving such consent and on any subsequent Holder thereof (whether or not such subsequent Holder has notice thereof) unless such consent is revoked in writing by the Holder of the Bonds giving such consent or a subsequent Holder thereof by filing such revocation with the City and the Trustee prior to the date when the notice hereinafter in this Section provided for has been mailed. Notice of the execution and delivery of such Supplemental Indenture shall be mailed by the City to Bondholders (but failure to mail copies of such notice shall not affect the validity of the Supplemental Indenture when assented to by the requisite percentage of the Holders of the Bonds as aforesaid) and to each Security Instrument Issuer and Reserve Instrument Issuer of a Security Instrument or a Reserve Instrument as the case may be, then in full force and effect and not in default in a payment obligation. Disqualified Bonds Bonds owned or held by or for the account of the City shall not be deemed Outstanding for the purpose of any vote, consent or other action or any calculation of Outstanding Bonds provided for in the Indenture, and neither the City nor any owner or Holder of such Bonds shall be entitled to vote or consent to, or to take, any other action provided for in the Indenture. Any Pledged Bonds shall be deemed Outstanding and, for the purposes of any vote, shall be considered to be owned by the appropriate Security Instrument Issuer. Effect of Modification or Amendment When any Supplemental Indenture modifying or amending the provisions of the Indenture or any Supplemental Indenture shall become effective, as provided in the Indenture, the Indenture or such Supplemental Indenture shall be and be deemed to be modified and amended in accordance therewith and the respective rights, duties and obligations under the Indenture or such Supplemental Indenture of the City, the Trustee, any Security Instrument Issuer, any Reserve Instrument Issuer, and all Holders of Bonds Outstanding hereunder shall thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced under the Indenture subject in all respects to such modification and amendment, and all the terms and conditions of any such Supplemental Indenture shall be and be deemed to be part of the terms and conditions of the Indenture or the modified or amended Supplemental Indenture for any and all purposes. B-35 4867-1497-0902, v. 2 Endorsement or Replacement of Bonds Issued After Amendments The City or the Trustee may determine that Bonds executed and delivered after the effective date of a Supplemental Indenture executed and delivered as provided in the Indenture shall bear a notation, by endorsement or otherwise, in form approved by the City, as to the modification or amendment provided for by such Supplemental Indenture. In that case, upon demand of the Holder of any Bond Outstanding at such effective date and presentation of his Bond for the purpose at the principal corporate trust operations office of the Trustee or at such other office as the Trustee may select and designate for that purpose, a suitable notation shall be made on such Bond. The City may determine that new Bonds, so modified as in the opinion of the City is necessary to conform to such Supplemental Indenture, shall be prepared, executed and delivered. In that case, upon demand of the Holder of any Bond then Outstanding, such new Bonds shall be exchanged at the principal corporate trust operations office of the Trustee without cost to any Bondholder, for Bonds then Outstanding, upon surrender of such Bonds. Irrevocable Consent Subject to the Indenture provisions relating to amendments by written consent, any consent pursuant to the provisions of the Indenture by any Holder of a Bond shall be irrevocable, and shall be conclusive and binding upon all future Holders of the same Bond delivered on transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in replacement thereof. EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND REMEDIES OF BONDHOLDERS Events of Default The occurrence of one or more of the following events shall constitute an “Event of Default”: (a) failure by the City to make the due and punctual payment of the Principal or Redemption Price of any Bond when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at maturity as therein expressed, by proceedings for redemption or otherwise; (b) failure by the City to make the due and punctual payment of any installment of interest on any Bond or any Sinking Fund Installment when and as such interest installment or Sinking Fund Installment shall become due and payable; (c) failure by the City to observe any of the covenants, agreements or conditions on its part contained in the Indenture or in the Bonds contained, and failure to remedy the same for a period of 30 days after written notice thereof, specifying such failure and requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the City by the Trustee, or to the City and the Trustee by the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds at the time Outstanding; (d) bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, including without limitation proceedings under Chapter 9 of Title 11, United States Code (as the same may from time to time be hereafter amended), or other proceedings for relief under any federal or state bankruptcy law or similar law for the relief of debtors are instituted by or against the City and, if instituted against the City, said proceedings are consented to or are not dismissed within 30 days after such institution; or (e) any event specified in a Supplemental Indenture as constituting an Event of Default under the Indenture; provided that any failure by the City to make payment as described in subparagraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall not constitute an Event of Default with respect to any Bond if the Supplemental Indenture authorizing the issuance of such Bond provides that due and punctual payment by a Security Instrument Issuer or a Reserve Instrument Issuer shall not give rise to an Event of Default and such payment is, in fact, duly and punctually made. The Trustee shall give notice to any Security Instrument Issuer or Reserve Instrument Issuer of any Event of Default known to the Trustee within 30 days after it has knowledge thereof. B-36 4867-1497-0902, v. 2 Remedies (a) Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default: (i) the Trustee may proceed, and (ii) upon the written request of (x) the Holders of a majority of the Principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds, (y) Security Instrument Issuers at the time providing Security Instruments which are in full force and effect and not in default on any payment obligation and which secure a majority in aggregate Principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding, or (z) any combination of Bondholders and Security Instrument Issuers described under clauses (x) and (y) representing a majority in aggregate Principal amount of the Bonds at the time Outstanding, shall proceed, to protect and enforce its rights and the rights under the Indenture of the Bondholders, the Security Instrument Issuers and the Reserve Instrument Issuers forthwith by any available remedy, including, without limitation, suit or suits in equity or at law, whether for the payment of any amount due under the Indenture or on the Bonds, or for the specific performance of any covenant contained in the Indenture, or in aid of the execution of any power granted in the Indenture or any remedy granted under the Act, or for an accounting against the City, as if the City were the trustee of an express trust, or in the enforcement of any other legal or equitable right, as the Trustee, being advised by counsel, shall deem most effectual to enforce any of its rights or to perform any of its duties under the Indenture. (b) All rights of action under the Indenture or under any of the Bonds may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Bonds or the production thereof in any trial or other proceeding relating thereto. Any suit or proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its name as Trustee without the necessity of joining any Holders or other parties as plaintiffs or defendants. (c) No delay in exercising or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair that remedy, right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver of any default or Event of Default or acquiescence therein. Every remedy, right and power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed to be expedient. (d) In case the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any remedy, right or power under the Indenture in any suit, action or proceedings, and the suit, action or proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee, then the Issuer, the Trustee, the Bondholders, the Security Instruments Issuers and the Reserve Instrument Issuers shall be restored to their former positions and rights under the Indenture, respectively, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Trustee shall continue as if no suit, action or proceedings had been taken. Application of Revenues and Other Moneys after Default (a) During the continuance of an Event of Default, the Trustee shall apply Revenues and such moneys, securities and funds and the income therefrom as follows and in the following order, provided that moneys held in any Series Subaccount in the Bond Service Account or in the Debt Service Reserve Account or received under any Security Instrument shall not be used for purposes other than payment of the interest and Principal or Redemption Price then due on the Series of Bonds corresponding to such Series Subaccount or such Security Instrument in accordance with paragraph (3) of this Section : (1) to the payment of the reasonable and proper charges and expenses of the Trustee and the reasonable fees and disbursements of its counsel; (2) to the payment of the Operation and Maintenance Costs, as certified by the City as due and payable; (3) to the payment of the interest and Principal or Redemption Price then due on the Bonds and Security Instrument Repayment Obligations, as follows: B-37 4867-1497-0902, v. 2 FIRST: To the payment to the persons entitled thereto of all installments of interest then due on the Bonds and the Security Instrument Repayment Obligations in the order of the maturity of such installments, and, if the amount available shall not be sufficient to pay in full any installment or installments maturing on the same date, then to the payment thereof ratably, according to the amounts due thereon, to the persons entitled thereto, without any discrimination or preference; and SECOND: To the payment to the persons entitled thereto of the unpaid Principal or Redemption Price of any Bonds and Security Instrument Repayment Obligations which shall have become due, whether at maturity or by call for redemption, in the order of their due dates, and, if the amount available shall not be sufficient to pay in full all the Bonds and Security Instrument Repayment Obligations due on any date, then to the payment thereof ratably, according to the amounts of Principal, Redemption Price or Security Instrument Repayment Obligations due on such date, to the persons entitled thereto, without any discrimination or preference; and (4) to the payment of all obligations owed to all Reserve Instrument Issuers according to the amounts due without any discrimination or preference. (b) If and whenever all overdue installments of interest on all Bonds and Repayment Obligations, together with the reasonable and proper charges and expenses of the Trustee, and all other sums payable by the City under the Indenture, including the Principal and Redemption Price of and accrued unpaid interest on all Bonds and Repayment Obligations which shall then be payable, shall either be paid by or for the account of the City, or provision satisfactory to the Trustee shall be made for such payment, and all defaults under the Indenture or the Bonds shall be made good or secured to the satisfaction of the Trustee and the Repayment Obligations shall be made good or secured to the satisfaction of the Security Instrument Issuers and the Reserve Instrument Issuers as appropriate, or provision deemed by the Trustee and, in the case of Repayment Obligations, to the Security Instrument Issuers and the Reserve Instrument Issuers, as appropriate, to be adequate shall be made therefor, the Trustee shall pay over to the City all such Revenues then remaining unexpended in the hands of the Trustee (except Revenues deposited or pledged, or required by the terms of the Indenture to be deposited or pledged, with the Trustee), and thereupon the City and the Trustee shall be restored, respectively, to their former positions and rights under the Indenture, and all Revenues shall thereafter be applied as provided in the Indenture. No such payment over to the City by the Trustee or resumption of the application of Revenues as provided in the Indenture shall extend to or affect any subsequent default under the Indenture or impair any right consequent thereon. Rights and Remedies of Bondholders (a) No Holder of any Bond, any Security Instrument Issuer or any Reserve Instrument Issuer shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless: (1) such Holder, Security Instrument Issuer or Reserve Instrument Issuer has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default; (2) either (x) the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate Principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds, (y) Security Instrument Issuers at the time providing Security Instruments which are in full force and effect and not in default on any payment obligation and which secure 25% in aggregate Principal amount of the Bonds at the time Outstanding, or (z) any combination of Bondholders and Security Instrument Issuers described in clauses (x) and (y) representing not less than 25% in aggregate Principal amount of the Bonds at the time Outstanding, shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder; (3) such Holders or Security Instrument Issuers have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request; (4) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such proceedings; and B-38 4867-1497-0902, v. 2 (5) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60 day period by (1) the Holders of a majority in Principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds, (2) Security Instrument Issuers at the time providing Security Instruments which are in full force and effect and not in default on any payment obligation and which secure a majority in aggregate Principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding, or (3) any combination of Bondholders and Security Instrument Issuers described in clauses (1) and (2) representing a majority in aggregate Principal amount of the Bonds at the time Outstanding; it being understood and intended that no one or more Holders of Bonds, Security Instrument Issuers or Reserve Instrument Issuers shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other such parties, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other such parties or to enforce arty right under the Indenture, except in the manner provided in the Indenture and for the equal and ratable benefit of all such parties in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture. (b) Notwithstanding any other provision in the Indenture, the Holder of any Bond shall have the right which is absolute and unconditional to receive payment of the Principal of, Redemption Price and interest on such Bond on the respective stated maturities expressed in such Bond (or, in the case of redemption, on the redemption date of such Bond) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, subject only to any conditions of any Security Instrument Issuer providing a Security Instrument securing such Bond. Such right to receive payment shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder. (c) (i) The Holders of a majority of the Principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds, (ii) Security Instrument Issuers at the time providing Security Instruments which are in full force and effect and not in default on any payment obligation and which secure a majority in aggregate Principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding, or (iii) any combination of Bondholders and Security Instrument Issuers described under clauses (i) and (ii) representing a majority in aggregate Principal amount of the Bonds at the time Outstanding, shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, provided that: (1) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or the Indenture, (2) the Trustee shall not determine that the action so directed would be unjustly prejudicial to the Holders and Security Instrument Issuers not taking part in such direction, and (3) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction. Appointment of Receiver Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, and upon the filing of a suit or other commencement of judicial proceedings to enforce the rights of the Trustee and of the Bondholders, the Security Instrument Issuers and the Reserve Instrument Issuers, the Trustee shall be entitled, as a matter of right, to the appointment of a receiver or receivers of the trust estate created by the Indenture, including, without limitation, the proceeds of the sale of the Bonds, the Revenues and the Funds, including the investments, if any, thereof, pending such proceedings, with such powers as a court making such appointments shall confer. Non-Waiver Nothing in the Indenture or in the Bonds shall affect or impair the obligation of the City, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the Principal and Redemption Price of and interest on the Bonds and the Repayment Obligations to the respective Holders of the Bonds, the Security Instrument Issuers and the Reserve Instrument Issuers, as appropriate, at the respective dates of maturity, or upon call for redemption, as provided in the Indenture, out of the Revenues, Funds and other moneys, securities and funds pledged in the Indenture for such payment, or affect or impair the right of action, which is also absolute and unconditional, of such Holders, Security Instrument Issuers or Reserve Instrument Issuers, as appropriate, to institute suit to enforce such payment by virtue of the contract embodied in the B-39 4867-1497-0902, v. 2 Bonds and Repayment Obligations. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of the Bonds or, with respect to Repayment Obligations, of any Security Instrument Issuer or Reserve Instrument Issuer as appropriate, to exercise any right or power arising upon the happening of any Event of Default shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein, and every power and remedy given by the Indenture to the Trustee or to the Holders of Bonds or, with respect to Repayment Obligations, to Security Instrument Issuers and Reserve Instrument Issuers, as appropriate, may be exercised from time to time and as often as shall be deemed expedient by the Trustee, the Holders of the Bonds, the Security Instrument Issuers and the Reserve Instrument Issuers. Remedies Not Exclusive No remedy in the Indenture conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders of Bonds or, with respect to Repayment Obligations, to Security Instrument Issuers and Reserve Instrument Issuers, as appropriate, is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy, and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given under the Indenture or now or hereafter existing, at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, and may be exercised at any time or from time to time, and as often as may be necessary, by the Trustee, the Holder of any one or more of the Bonds or, with respect to Repayment Obligations, by Security Instrument Issuers and Reserve Instrument Issuers, as appropriate. Nothing contained in the Indenture shall permit the levy of any attachment or execution upon any of the properties of the City, nor shall any properties of the City be subject to forfeiture by reason of any default under the Indenture, it being expressly understood and agreed by each and every Bondholder by the acceptance of any Bond and by each and every Security Instrument Issuer and Reserve Instrument Issuer by entering into Security Instrument Agreements and Reserve Instrument Agreements, as appropriate, that the rights of all such Bondholders, Security Instrument Issuers and Reserve Instrument Issuers are limited and restricted to the use and application of Revenues, Funds and other moneys, securities and funds pledged under the Indenture in accordance with the terms of the Indenture. Waivers of Events of Default (i) The Trustee may waive, and (ii) upon the written direction of (x) the Holders of a majority of the Principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds, (y) Security Instrument Issuers at the time providing Security Instruments which are in full force and effect and not in default on any payment obligation and which secure a majority in aggregate Principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding, or (z) any combination of Bondholders and Security Instrument Issuers described under clauses (x) and (y) representing a majority in aggregate Principal amount of the Bonds at the time Outstanding, shall waive, any Event of Default hereunder and its consequences; provided, however, that (x) there shall not be waived any Event of Default specified under (a) or (b) of “Events of Default” above unless prior to such waiver the City shall have caused to be deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest upon all Bonds and the Principal of any and all Bonds which shall have become due (with interest upon such Principal and, to the extent permissible by law, on overdue installments of interest, at the rate per annum specified in the Bonds) and (y) no Event of Default shall be waived unless (in addition to the applicable conditions as aforesaid) there shall have been deposited with the Trustee such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable compensation and reimbursement of expenses payable to the Trustee. No such waiver shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent default or Event of Default or shall impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon. INVESTMENT OF FUNDS Investment of Funds (a) Moneys held in any Fund or account shall be invested and reinvested by the City or the Trustee to the fullest extent practicable in Investment Securities which mature not later than such times as shall be necessary to provide moneys when needed for payments to be made from such Fund or account, subject to the following: (1) the Trustee shall make such investments only in accordance with written instructions received from an Authorized Officer of the City; B-40 4867-1497-0902, v. 2 (2) any Supplemental Indenture authorizing a Series of Bonds may impose additional restrictions on moneys held in any Fund or account; and (3) any Supplemental Indenture authorizing a Series of Bonds may authorize the investment of moneys to be held in any Project Account, Series Subaccount in the Bond Service Account or Series Subaccount in the Debt Service Account created by such Supplemental Indenture and relating to such Series of Bonds in such other investments as may be specified by the Supplemental Indenture. (b) Subject to any required rebate of earnings on investments in any Fund or account to the United States of America pursuant to Section 148(f) of the Code and except as otherwise provided in a Supplemental Indenture establishing a Project Account or a Series Subaccount: (i) all moneys earned as an investment of moneys in the Construction Fund shall be retained therein; (ii) net income earned on any moneys or investments in the Revenue Fund , the Bond Service Account and the Renewal and Replacement Fund shall remain in or be transferred to the Revenue Fund; (iii) whenever a Series Subaccount in the Debt Service Reserve Account is in its full required amount, net income earned on any moneys or investments in such Series Subaccount shall be transferred to the corresponding Series Subaccount in the Bond Service Account as provided in the Indenture, otherwise, to be retained therein. (c) The Trustee shall have no liability or responsibility for any loss or for failure to maximize earnings resulting from any investment made in accordance with the provisions of this Section. The Trustee shall be entitled to assume, absent receipt by the Trustee of written notice to the contrary, that any investment, which at the time of purchase is an Investment Security, remains an Investment Security thereafter. (d) The Trustee may make any and all investments permitted by the provisions of the Indenture through its own investment department or that of its affiliates. As and when any amount invested pursuant to the Indenture may be needed for disbursement, the Trustee may cause a sufficient amount of such investments to be sold and reduced to cash to the credit of such funds. The City acknowledges that to the extent that regulations of the Comptroller of the Currency or other applicable regulatory agency grant the City the right to receive brokerage confirmations of security transactions, the City waives receipt of such confirmations. The Trustee shall furnish to the City periodic statements, which include detail of all investment transactions, made by the Trustee. Arbitrage Covenant The City covenants that moneys on deposit in any Fund, whether or not such moneys were derived from proceeds of sales of Bonds or from any other sources, will not be used in a manner which will cause any Bonds, the interest on which is to be exempt from federal income taxation under the Code, to be “arbitrage bonds” within the meaning of Section 148 of the Code; provided, however, that this covenant shall not prevent the issuance of a Series of Bonds the interest on which is subject to Federal income taxation under the Code. DEFEASANCE Discharge of Indebtedness If the City shall pay or cause to be paid, or there shall otherwise be paid, subject to any limitations contained in a Supplemental Indenture with respect to a Series of Bonds, to the Holders of all Bonds the Principal or Redemption Price, if applicable, and interest due or to become due thereon, at the times and in the manner stipulated therein and in the Indenture and if all Repayment Obligations owed to Security Instrument Issuers and Reserve Instrument Issuers shall have been paid in full, then the pledge of any Revenues and other moneys, securities and Funds pledged under the Indenture and all covenants, agreements and other obligations of the City to the Bondholders, Security Instrument Issuers and Reserve Instrument Issuers shall thereupon cease, terminate and become void and be discharged and satisfied. In such event, the Trustee shall cause an accounting for such period or periods as shall be requested by the City to be prepared and filed with the City and, upon the request of the City, shall execute and deliver to the City all such instruments as may be desirable to evidence such discharge and satisfaction, and the Agents shall pay over or deliver to the City all moneys or securities held by them pursuant to the Indenture which are not required for the payment of Principal or Redemption Price, if applicable, and interest on Bonds not theretofore surrendered for such payment or redemption. If the City shall pay or cause to be paid, or there shall otherwise be paid, to the Holders of B-41 4867-1497-0902, v. 2 any Outstanding Bonds the Principal or Redemption Price, if applicable, and interest due or to become due thereon, at the times and in the manner stipulated therein and in the Indenture, such Bonds shall cease to be entitled to any lien, benefit or security under the Indenture, and all covenants, agreements and obligations of the City to the Holders of such Bonds shall thereupon cease, terminate and become void and be discharged and satisfied. Bonds or interest installments for the payment or redemption of which moneys shall have been set aside and shall be held in trust by the Trustee (through deposit by the City of funds for such payment or redemption or otherwise) at the maturity or redemption date thereof shall be deemed to have been paid within the meaning and with the effect expressed in subsection (a) of this Section, unless otherwise provided in a Supplemental Indenture with respect to a Series of Bonds. Subject to any further conditions in a Supplemental Indenture with respect to a Series of Bonds, all Outstanding Bonds of any Series shall prior to the maturity or redemption date thereof be deemed to have been paid within the meaning and with the effect expressed in subsection (a) of this Section if (1) in case any of said Bonds are to be redeemed on any date prior to their maturity, the City shall have given to the Trustee in form satisfactory to it irrevocable instructions to mail as provided in the Indenture notice of redemption of such Bonds on said date, (2) there shall have been deposited with the Trustee either moneys in an amount which shall be sufficient, or noncallable Government Obligations (including any Government Obligations issued or held in book-entry form on the books of the Department of the Treasury of the United States of America) the principal of and the interest on which when due will provide moneys which, together with the moneys, if any, deposited with the Trustee at the same time, shall be sufficient, to pay when due the Principal or Redemption Price, if applicable, and interest due and to become due on said Bonds on and prior to the redemption date or maturity date thereof, as the case may be, and (3) in the event said Bonds are not by their terms subject to redemption within the next succeeding 60 days, the City shall have given the Trustee in form satisfactory to it irrevocable instructions to mail, first class postage prepaid, a notice to the Holders of such Bonds that the deposit required by (2) above has been made with the Trustee and that said Bonds are deemed to have been paid in accordance with this Section and stating such maturity or redemption date upon which moneys are to be available for the payment of the Principal or Redemption Price, if applicable, on said Bonds. Neither Government Obligations nor moneys deposited with the Trustee pursuant to this Section nor principal or interest payments on any such Government Obligations shall be withdrawn or used for any purpose other than, and shall be held in trust for, the payment of the Principal or Redemption Price, if applicable, and interest on said Bonds; provided that any cash received from such principal or interest payments on such Government Obligations deposited with the Trustee, if not then needed for such purpose, shall, to the extent practicable, be reinvested in Government Obligations maturing at times and in amounts sufficient to pay when due the Principal or Redemption Price, if applicable, and interest to become due on said Bonds on and prior to such redemption date or maturity date thereof, as the case may be, and interest earned from such reinvestments shall be paid over to the City, as received by the Trustee, free and clear of any trust, lien or pledge.

D-1 4867-1497-0902, v. 2 APPENDIX D PROPOSED FORM OF OPINION OF BOND COUNSEL Upon the delivery of the Series 2022 Bonds, Gilmore & Bell, P.C., Bond Counsel to the City, proposes to issue its final approving opinion in substantially the following form: We have acted as bond counsel for Salt Lake City, Utah (the “Issuer”) in connection with the issuance by the Issuer of its $__________ Public Utilities Revenue Bonds, Series 2022 (the “Series 2022 Bonds”). The Series 2022 Bonds are being issued pursuant to (i) a resolution of the City Council adopted on [May 3, 2022]; and (ii) the Master Trust Indenture dated as of January 1, 2004 (the “Master Indenture”), as heretofore amended and supplemented and as further supplemented by an Eleventh Supplemental Indenture of Trust dated as of [June 1], 2022 (the “Eleventh Supplemental Indenture,” and together with the Master Indenture, the “Indenture”) between the Issuer and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee. The Series 2022 Bonds are issued for the purpose of (i) financing improvements to the Issuer’s water, sewer and stormwater utilities and (ii) paying costs associated with the issuance of the Series 2022 Bonds. Our services as bond counsel have been limited to the preparation of the legal proceedings and supporting certificates authorizing the issuance of the Series 2022 Bonds under the applicable laws of the State of Utah and to a review of the transcript of such proceedings and certificates. As to questions of fact material to our opinion, we have relied upon certified proceedings and other certifications of public officials furnished to us without undertaking to verify the same by independent investigation. Our examination has been limited to the foregoing as they exist or are in effect as of the date hereof. Our opinion is limited to the matters expressly set forth herein, and we express no opinion concerning any other matters. Based on our examination and the foregoing, we are of the opinion, as of the date hereof and under existing law, as follows: 1. The Indenture has been authorized, executed and delivered by the Issuer, constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Issuer, and creates a valid lien on the Net Revenues (as defined in the Indenture) and the other amounts pledged thereunder for the security of the Series 2022 Bonds. 2. The Series 2022 Bonds are valid and binding special obligations of the Issuer payable solely from the Net Revenues (as defined in the Indenture) and other amounts pledged therefor in the Indenture, and the Series 2022 Bonds do not constitute a general obligation indebtedness of the Issuer within the meaning of any State of Utah constitutional provision or statutory limitation, nor a charge against the full faith and credit or taxing power of the Issuer. 3. The interest on the Series 2022 Bonds the interest on the Series 2022 Bonds (including any original issue discount properly allocable to an owner thereof) is excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes, and is not an item of tax preference for purposes of the federal alternative minimum tax. The opinions set forth in this paragraph are subject to the condition that the Issuer complies with all requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, that must be satisfied subsequent to the issuance of the Series 2022 Bonds in order that interest thereon be, or continue to be, excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes. The Issuer has covenanted to comply with all of these requirements. Failure to comply with certain of these requirements may cause the interest on the Series 2022 Bonds to be included in gross income for federal income tax purposes retroactive to the date of issuance of the Series 2022 Bonds. 4. The interest on the Series 2022 Bonds is exempt from State of Utah individual income taxes. We express no opinion herein regarding the accuracy, completeness or sufficiency of the Official Statement or any other offering material relating to the Series 2022 Bonds. The rights of the holders of the Series 2022 Bonds and the enforceability thereof and of the documents identified in this opinion may be subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium, and other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights heretofore or hereafter enacted to the extent D-2 4867-1497-0902, v. 2 applicable, and their enforcement may be subject to the application of equitable principles and the exercise of judicial discretion in appropriate cases. This opinion is given as of its date, and we assume no obligation to revise or supplement this opinion to reflect any facts or circumstances that may come to our attention or any changes in law that may occur after the date of this opinion. Respectfully submitted, E-1 4867-1497-0902, v. 2 APPENDIX E PROVISIONS REGARDING BOOK-ENTRY ONLY SYSTEM DTC will act as securities depository for the Series 2022 Bonds. The Series 2022 Bonds will be issued as fully-registered securities registered in the name of Cede & Co. (DTC’s partnership nominee) or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. One fully-registered certificate will be issued for each maturity of the Series 2022 Bonds, each in the aggregate principal amount of such maturity, and will be deposited with DTC. DTC, the world’s largest depository, is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law, a “banking organization” within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a “clearing corporation” within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a “clearing agency” registered pursuant to the provisions of section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. DTC holds and provides asset servicing for over 3.5 million issues of U.S. and non-U.S. equity issues, corporate and municipal debt issues, and money market instruments (from over 100 countries) that DTC’s participants (“Direct Participants”) deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the post-trade settlement among Direct Participants of sales and other securities transactions in deposited securities, through electronic computerized book-entry transfers and pledges between Direct Participants’ accounts. This eliminates the need for physical movement of securities certificates. Direct Participants include both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations. DTC is a wholly owned subsidiary of The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (“DTCC”). DTCC is the holding company for DTC, National Securities Clearing Corporation and Fixed Income Clearing Corporation, all of which are registered clearing agencies. DTCC is owned by the users of its regulated subsidiaries. Access to the DTC system is also available to others such as both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, and clearing corporations that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Direct Participant, either directly or indirectly (“Indirect Participants”). DTC has Standard & Poor’s rating of AA+. The DTC Rules applicable to its Participants are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. More information about DTC can be found at www.dtcc.com. Purchases of Series 2022 Bonds under the DTC system must be made by or through Direct Participants, which will receive a credit for the Series 2022 Bonds on DTC’s records. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of each Bond (“Beneficial Owner”) is in turn to be recorded on the Direct and Indirect Participants’ records. Beneficial Owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchase. Beneficial Owners are, however, expected to receive written confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the Direct or Indirect Participant through which the Beneficial Owner entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in the Series 2022 Bonds are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of Direct and Indirect Participants acting on behalf of Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in Series 2022 Bonds, except in the event that use of the book-entry system for the Series 2022 Bonds is discontinued. To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Series 2022 Bonds deposited by Direct Participants with DTC are registered in the name of DTC’s partnership nominee, Cede & Co., or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. The deposit of Series 2022 Bonds with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede & Co. or such other nominee do not effect any change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual Beneficial Owners of the Series 2022 Bonds; DTC’s records reflect only the identity of the Direct Participants to whose accounts such Series 2022 Bonds are credited, which may or may not be the Beneficial Owners. The Direct and Indirect Participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers. Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to Direct Participants, by Direct Participants to Indirect Participants, and by Direct Participants and Indirect Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Beneficial Owners of Series 2022 Bonds may wish to take certain steps to augment the transmission to them of notices of significant events with respect to the Series 2022 Bonds, such as redemptions, tenders, defaults, and proposed amendments to the Bond documents. For example, Beneficial Owners of Series 2022 Bonds may wish to ascertain that the nominee holding the Series 2022 Bonds for their benefit has agreed to obtain and transmit notices to Beneficial E-2 4867-1497-0902, v. 2 Owners. In the alternative, Beneficial Owners may wish to provide their names and addresses to the registrar and request that copies of notices be provided directly to them. Redemption notices shall be sent to DTC. If less than all of the Series 2022 Bonds are being redeemed, DTC’s practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each Direct Participant in such issue to be redeemed. Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. (nor any other DTC nominee) will consent or vote with respect to Series 2022 Bonds unless authorized by a Direct Participant in accordance with DTC’s MMI Procedures. Under its usual procedures, DTC mails an Omnibus Proxy to the City as soon as possible after the record date. The Omnibus Proxy assigns Cede & Co.’s consenting or voting rights to those Direct Participants to whose accounts Series 2022 Bonds are credited on the record date (identified in a listing attached to the Omnibus Proxy). Redemption proceeds, distributions, and dividend payments on the Series 2022 Bonds will be made to Cede & Co, or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. DTC’s practice is to credit Direct Participants’ accounts upon DTC’s receipt of funds and corresponding detail information from the City or the Paying Agent, on payable date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC’s records. Payments by Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in “street name,” and will be the responsibility of such Participant and not of DTC, the Paying Agent, or the City, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Payment of redemption proceeds, distributions, and interest payments to Cede & Co. (or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC) is the responsibility of the City or the Paying Agent, disbursement of such payments to Direct Participants will be the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of such payments to the Beneficial Owners will be the responsibility of Direct and Indirect Participants. DTC may discontinue providing its services as depository with respect to the Series 2022 Bonds at any time by giving reasonable notice to the City or the Paying Agent. Under such circumstances, in the event that a successor depository is not obtained, certificates are required to be printed and delivered. The City may decide to discontinue use of the system of book-entry-only transfers through DTC (or a successor securities depository). In that event, certificates will be printed and delivered to DTC. The information in this section concerning DTC and DTC’s book-entry system has been obtained from sources that the City believes to be reliable, but the City takes no responsibility for the accuracy thereof.

STAFF CONTACT: Lisa M. Tarufelli, Finance Administrator, 801-483-6755 lisa.tarufelli@slcgov.com; Laura Briefer, Director, 801-483-6741 laura.briefer@slcgov.com DOCUMENT TYPE: Bond Parameters Resolution RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council consider adopting a Bond Parameters Resolution for the issuance and sale of up to $360,000,000 principal amount of Salt Lake City Public Utilities Revenue Bonds Series 2022. This includes a recommendation to 1) adopt a Bond Parameters Resolution on May 3, 2022 approving the issuance and sale of up to $360,000,000 principal amount of Salt Lake City Public Utilities Revenue Bonds, Series 2022 and give authority to certain officers to approve the final terms and provisions of and confirm the sale of the Bonds within certain parameters set forth in the attached Bond Parameters Resolution; and 2) authorize publication of a notice of public hearing on May 8, 2022; and 3) hold a public hearing on May 24, 2022. BUDGET IMPACT: The FY22 and FY23 budgets anticipated bond issuances for sewer and water. Based on current conditions in the bond market and construction, the amount of this planned issue is approximately $81 million more than originally anticipated for the two-year period. An amendment request reflecting this has been transmitted in Budget Amendment Seven. The current documents show no principal or interest due or payable during the current fiscal year, thus the budgetary impact is limited to additional revenue sources and bond issuance costs. Lisa Shaffer (Apr 12, 2022 17:47 MDT)04/12/2022 04/12/2022 BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: In accordance with provisions of the Local Government Bonding Act, the City is required to hold a public a hearing to receive input from the public for all new money bond issues with respect to: a) the issuance of the Series 2022 revenue bonds; and b) the potential economic impact that the water and sewer infrastructure improvements will have on the private sector. The financing team is requesting that the City Council approve a motion (this resolution) on May 3, 2022, setting Tuesday, May 24, 2022, as the date to hold the public hearing. A Notice of Public Hearing is required to be published once at least 14 days before the public hearing. The publication of that notice is scheduled for May 8, 2022. The Bond Parameters Resolution for the above referenced bond issue contemplates the issuance of up to $360 million principal amount of bonds bearing interest at an interest rate not to exceed 6% per annum with a bond period not to exceed 31 years. The bond proceeds will finance a portion of the capital improvements for water and sewer. The sewer proceeds will serve as the match for the Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (WIFIA) loan for construction of the water reclamation facility to meet regulatory requirements. Water improvements include treatment plants, distribution mains, and master plan projects. Water includes work being performed in conjunction with the City’s General Fund bonded street repair projects. A copy of the Bond Parameters Resolution is attached. Draft copies of the Eleventh Supplemental Trust Indenture, Bond Purchase Contract, Preliminary Official Statement, preliminary calendar of events, and estimated debt service schedule are included for your review. The draft documents are subject to change.

This offer is made subject to its acceptance by the City by execution of this Purchase Contract and its delivery to the Underwriters on or before 5:00 p.m., Utah time, on the date hereof. All terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings given to such terms in the hereinafter defined Official Statement. 1. Purchase and Sale.

Description and Purpose of the Bonds. The Bonds will be dated the date of Closing (as hereinafter defined) and will be executed by the City and will be authenticated and delivered by U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association (formerly known as U.S. Bank National Association), as trustee (the “Trustee”), pursuant to the Master Trust Indenture dated as of January 1, 2004, as heretofore amended and supplemented (the “Master Trust Indenture”), and as further supplemented by the Eleventh Supplemental Trust Indenture, dated as of June 1, 2022 (the “Eleventh Supplemental Indenture” and together with the Master Trust Indenture, the “Indenture”), each between the City and the Trustee. The Bonds shall mature on the dates and in the amounts and shall bear interest as set forth on Exhibit A hereto and shall be as more particularly described in the Indenture and the Official Statement dated __________, 2022, relating to the Bonds (which, together with all exhibits and appendices included therein or attached thereto and such amendments or supplements thereto which shall be approved by the Representative, is hereinafter called the “Official Statement”). 4868-7022-5430, v. 2 2 The Bonds are being executed and delivered to (a) finance water and sewer improvements to the City’s water, sewer, storm drain and street lighting utilities (collectively, the “System”) and (b) pay costs of issuance of the Series 2022 Bonds. 3. Public Offering. The Underwriters agree to make an initial public offering of all the Bonds at the public offering prices (or yields) set forth in the Official Statement. Subsequent to the initial public offering, the Underwriters reserve the right to change the public offering prices (or yields) as they deem necessary in connection with the marketing of the Bonds, provided that the Underwriters shall not change the interest rates set forth on Exhibit A. The Bonds may be offered and sold to certain dealers at prices lower than such initial public offering price or prices set forth in the Official Statement. The Underwriters also reserve the right (i) to engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of the Bonds at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market and (ii) to discontinue such transactions, if commenced, at any time. 4. Establishment of Issue Price. (a) The Representative, on behalf of the Underwriters, agrees to assist the City in establishing the issue price of the Bonds and shall execute and deliver to the City at Closing an “issue price” or similar certificate, together with the supporting pricing wires or equivalent communications, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, with such modifications as may be appropriate or necessary, in the reasonable judgment of the Representative, the City and Bond Counsel, to accurately reflect, as applicable, the sales price or prices or the initial offering price or prices to the public of the Bonds. (b) Except for any Hold-the-Price Maturities described in subsection (c) below and Exhibit A attached hereto, the City will treat the first price at which 10% of each maturity of the Bonds (the “10% test”) is sold to the public as the issue price of that maturity (if different interest rates apply within a maturity, each separate CUSIP number within that maturity will be subject to the 10% test). Exhibit A attached hereto sets forth the maturities of the Bonds for which the 10% test has been satisfied as of the date of this Purchase Contract (the “10% Test Maturities”) and the prices at which the Underwriters have sold such 10% Test Maturities to the public. (c) With respect to any maturities of the Bonds that are not 10% Test Maturities, as described in Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Hold-the-Price Maturities”), the Representative confirms that the Underwriters have offered such maturities of the Bonds to the public on or before the date of this Purchase Contract at the offering price or prices (the “initial offering price”), or at the corresponding yield or yields, set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto. The City and the Representative, on behalf of the Underwriters, agree that the (i) the Representative shall retain the unsold bonds of each Hold-the-Price Maturity and shall not allocate any such bonds to any other Underwriter and (ii) the restrictions set forth in the next sentence shall apply to the Hold-the-Price Maturities, which will allow the City to treat the initial offering price to the public of each such maturity as of the sale date 4868-7022-5430, v. 2 3 as the issue price of that maturity (the “hold-the-offering-price rule”). So long as the hold-the-offering-price rule remains applicable to any maturity of the Hold-the- Price Maturities, the Representative will neither offer nor sell unsold bonds of such maturity of the Hold-the-Price Maturities to any person at a price that is higher than the initial offering price to the public during the period starting on the sale date and ending on the earlier of the following: (i) the close of the fifth (5th) business day after the sale date; or (ii) the date on which the Representative has sold at least 10% of that maturity of the Hold-the-Price Maturities to the public at a price that is no higher than the initial offering price to the public. The Representative shall advise the City promptly after the close of the fifth (5th) business day after the sale date whether it has sold 10% of that maturity of the Hold- the-Price Maturities to the public at a price that is no higher than the initial offering price to the public. (d) The Representative confirms that: (i) any agreement among underwriters, any selling group agreement and each third-party distribution agreement (to which the Representative is a party) relating to the initial sale of the Bonds to the public, together with the related pricing wires, contains or will contain language obligating each underwriter, each dealer who is a member of the selling group and each broker-dealer that is a party to such third-party distribution agreement, as applicable: (A)(i) to report the prices at which it sells to the public the unsold Bonds of each maturity allocated to it, whether or not the Closing Date has occurred, until either all Bonds of that maturity allocated to it have been sold or it is notified by the Representative that the 10% test has been satisfied as to the Bonds of that maturity, provided that, the reporting obligation after the Closing Date may be at reasonable periodic intervals or otherwise upon request of the Representative, and (ii) to comply with the hold-the-offering-price rule, if applicable, if and for so long as directed by the Representative and as set forth in the related pricing wires, (B) to promptly notify the Representative of any sales of Bonds that, to its knowledge, are made to a purchaser who is a related party to an underwriter participating in the initial sale of the Bonds to the public (each such term being used as defined below), (C) to acknowledge that, unless otherwise advised by the underwriter, dealer or broker-dealer, the Representative shall assume that each order submitted by the underwriter, dealer or broker-dealer is a sale to the public. 4868-7022-5430, v. 2 4 (ii) any agreement among underwriters or selling group agreement relating to the initial sale of the Bonds to the public, together with the related pricing wires, contains or will contain language obligating each underwriter or dealer that is a party to a third-party distribution agreement to be employed in connection with the initial sale of the Bonds to the public to require each broker-dealer that is a party to such third-party distribution agreement to (A) report the prices at which it sells to the public the unsold Bonds of each maturity allocated to it, whether or not the Closing Date has occurred, until either all Bonds of that maturity allocated to it have been sold or it is notified by the Representative or such underwriter or dealer that the 10% test has been satisfied as to the Bonds of that maturity, provided that, the reporting obligation after the Closing Date may be at reasonable periodic intervals or otherwise upon request of the Representative or such underwriter or dealer, and (B) comply with the hold- the-offering-price rule, if applicable, if and for so long as directed by the Representative or the underwriter or the dealer and as set forth in the related pricing wires. (e) The City acknowledges that, in making the representations set forth in this subsection, the Representative will rely on (i) the agreement of each underwriter to comply with the requirements for establishing the issue price of the Bonds, including, but not limited to, its agreement to comply with the hold-the- offering-price rule, if applicable to the Bonds, as set forth in an agreement among underwriters and the related pricing wires, (ii) in the event a selling group has been created in connection with the initial sale of the Bonds to the public, the agreement of each dealer who is a member of the selling group to comply with the requirements for establishing issue price of the Bonds, including, but not limited to, its agreement to comply with the hold-the-offering-price rule, if applicable to the Bonds, as set forth in a selling group agreement and the related pricing wires, and (iii) in the event that an underwriter or dealer who is a member of the selling group is a party to a third-party distribution agreement that was employed in connection with the initial sale of the Bonds to the public, the agreement of each broker-dealer that is a party to such agreement to comply with the requirements for establishing the issue price of the Bonds, including, but not limited to, its agreement to comply with the hold-the-offering-price rule, if applicable to the Bonds, as set forth in the third-party distribution agreement and the related pricing wires. The City further acknowledges that each underwriter shall be solely liable for its failure to comply with its agreement to adhere to the requirements for establishing issue price of the Bonds, including, but not limited to, its agreement to comply with the hold-the-offering-price rule, if applicable to the Bonds, and that no underwriter shall be liable for the failure of any other underwriter, or of any dealer who is a member of a selling group, or of any broker-dealer that is a party to a third-party distribution agreement, to comply with its corresponding agreement to comply with the requirements for establishing the issue price of the Bonds, including, but not limited to, its agreement to comply with the hold-the-offering-price rule, if applicable to the Bonds. 4868-7022-5430, v. 2 5 (f) The Underwriters acknowledge that sales of any Bonds to any person that is a related party to an underwriter participating in the initial sale of the Bonds to the public (each such term being used as defined below) shall not constitute sales to the public for purposes of this section. Further, for purposes of this section: (i) “public” means any person other than an underwriter or a related party, (ii) “underwriter” means (A) any person that agrees pursuant to a written contract with the City (or with the lead underwriter to form an underwriting syndicate) to participate in the initial sale of the Bonds to the public and (B) any person that agrees pursuant to a written contract directly or indirectly with a person described in clause (A) to participate in the initial sale of the Bonds to the public (including a member of a selling group or a party to a third-party distribution agreement participating in the initial sale of the Bonds to the public), (iii) a purchaser of any of the Bonds is a “related party” to an underwriter if the underwriter and the purchaser are subject, directly or indirectly, to (A) more than 50% common ownership of the voting power or the total value of their stock, if both entities are corporations (including direct ownership by one corporation of another), (B) more than 50% common ownership of their capital interests or profits interests, if both entities are partnerships (including direct ownership by one partnership of another), or (C) more than 50% common ownership of the value of the outstanding stock of the corporation or the capital interests or profit interests of the partnership, as applicable, if one entity is a corporation and the other entity is a partnership (including direct ownership of the applicable stock or interests by one entity of the other), and (iv) “sale date” means the date of execution of this Purchase Contract by all parties. 5. Delivery of Official Statement.

Interest on the Series 2022 Bonds will be payable semiannually on February 1 and August 1 of each year commencing [__________ 1, 202___]. Interest on the Series 2022 Bonds will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. The Series 2022 Bonds will be issued as fully registered Series 2022 Bonds, initially in book-entry form, in denominations of $5,000 or any integral multiple thereof, not exceeding the amount of each maturity. The Series 2022 Bonds shall bear interest at the rates and shall mature annually in each of the years as set forth inside the front cover of this Official Statement. The Series 2022 Bonds are special limited obligations of the City, payable solely from the Net Revenues, moneys, securities, and funds pledged therefor in the Indenture. Neither the credit nor the taxing power of the City, the State or any agency, instrumentality, or political subdivision thereof is pledged for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Series 2022 Bonds. The Series 2022 Bonds are not general obligations of the City or the State or any agency, instrumentality, or political subdivision thereof. The issuance of the Series 2022 Bonds shall not directly, indirectly, or contingently obligate the City or the State or any agency, instrumentality, or political subdivision thereof to levy any form of taxation therefor or to make any appropriation for the payment of the Series 2022 Bonds. Interest on the Series 2022 Bonds will be paid on each Interest Payment Date to the registered owner thereof (initially DTC) who is the registered owner at the close of business on the Record Date for such interest, which shall be the fifteenth day of the month next preceding such Interest Payment Date. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered owner of any Series 2022 Bonds on such Regular Record Date, and may be paid to the registered owner thereof at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such defaulted interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice thereof to be given to such registered owner not less than ten days prior to such Special Record Date. The principal of and premium, if any, on the Series 2022 Bonds are payable upon presentation and surrender thereof at the principal corporate trust office of the Trustee. Interest shall be paid by check or draft mailed on each Interest Payment Date to the registered owner (initially DTC) of each of the Series 2022 Bonds as the name and address of such registered owner appear on the record date in the Register. Redemption Optional Redemption. The Series 2022 Bonds maturing on or after February 1, 20__, are subject to redemption at the election of the City on any date on or after February 1, 20__, in whole or in part (if in part, such Series 2022 Bonds to be redeemed will be selected from such maturities as are determined by the City in its discretion and within each maturity as selected by the Trustee), upon notice as provided below. Such optional redemption of the Series 2022 Bonds will be at the Redemption Price equal to the principal amount thereof, but without premium, plus accrued interest thereon to the redemption date. 6 4867-1497-0902, v. 3 Mandatory Sinking Fund Redemption. The Series 2022 Bonds maturing on February 1, 20__, are subject to mandatory sinking fund redemption at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest thereon to the redemption date on the dates and in the principal amounts as follows: Mandatory Sinking Fund Redemption Date (February 1) Mandatory Sinking Fund Redemption Amount * * Final Maturity Date Upon redemption of any Series 2022 Bonds maturing on February 1, 20___, other than by application of such mandatory sinking fund redemption, an amount equal to the principal amount so redeemed will be credited toward a part or all of any one or more of such mandatory sinking fund redemption amounts for the Series 2022 Bonds maturing on February 1, 20___, in such order of mandatory sinking fund date as shall be directed by the City.] Notice of Redemption. Notice of redemption will be given by first class mail, not less than 30 nor more than 45 days prior to the redemption date, to the registered owner of a Series 2022 Bond, at such owner’s address as it appears on the bond registration books of the Trustee or at such address as it may have filed with the Trustee for that purpose. Each notice of redemption will state the redemption date, the place of redemption, the source of the funds to be used for such redemption, the principal amount and, if less than all of the Series 2022 Bonds of like maturity are to be redeemed, the distinctive numbers of the Series 2022 Bonds to be redeemed, and will also state that the interest on the Series 2022 Bonds in such notice designated for redemption will cease to accrue from and after such redemption date and that on said date there will become due and payable on each of such Series 2022 Bonds the Redemption Price thereof and interest accrued thereon to the redemption date. If at the time of mailing of the notice of optional redemption there has not been deposited with the Trustee moneys sufficient to redeem all Series 2022 Bonds called for redemption, which moneys are or will be available for redemption of Series 2022 Bonds, such notice may state that such redemption is conditioned upon the receipt by the Trustee on or prior to the date fixed for such redemption of money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of and interest on the Series 2022 Bonds to be redeemed, and that if such money has not been so received said notice is of no force and effect, and the City is not required to redeem such Series 2022 Bonds. In the event that such notice of redemption contains such a condition and such money is not so received, the redemption will not be made and the Trustee will, as soon as possible after the redemption date, give notice, in the manner in which the notice of redemption was given, that such money was not so received and that such redemption was not made. Transfer, Exchange and Payment of the Series 2022 Bonds In the event that the book-entry only system has been terminated, any Series 2022 Bond may, in accordance with its terms, be transferred upon the books required to be kept pursuant to the provisions of the Indenture, by the person in whose name it is registered, in person or by such person’s duly authorized attorney, upon surrender of such Series 2022 Bond for cancellation, accompanied by delivery of a written instrument of transfer in a form approved by the Trustee, duly executed. Whenever any Series 2022 Bond or Bonds are surrendered for transfer, the Trustee will authenticate and deliver a new fully registered Series 2022 Bond or Bonds duly executed by the City for like aggregate principal amount. The Trustee will require the payment by the Bondholder requesting such transfer of any tax or other governmental charge required to be paid with respect to such transfer. In the event that the book-entry only system has been terminated, any Series 2022 Bond may be exchanged at the principal corporate trust operations office of the Trustee for a like aggregate principal amount of Series 2022 Bonds of the same series and maturity of authorized denominations. The Trustee will require the payment by the Bondholder requesting such exchange of any tax or other governmental charge required to be paid with respect to such exchange. No such exchange will be required to be made during the 15 days preceding each interest payment date. 7 4867-1497-0902, v. 3 The principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, the Series 2022 Bonds is payable in lawful money of the United States of America. In the event that the book-entry only system has been terminated, principal of and premium, if any, on the Series 2022 Bonds when due will be payable at the principal corporate trust operations office of the Trustee, or of its successor as Paying Agent for the Series 2022 Bonds. In the event that the book-entry only system has been terminated, payment of interest on the Series 2022 Bonds will be paid by check or draft mailed to the registered owner of record as of the close of business on the Record Date at such owner’s address as it appears on the registration books of the Trustee or at such other address as is furnished in writing by such registered owner to the Trustee prior to the Record Date. Book-Entry Only System The Series 2022 Bonds originally will be issued solely in book-entry form to DTC or its nominee, Cede & Co., to be held in DTC’s book-entry only system. So long as such Series 2022 Bonds are held in the book-entry only system, DTC or its nominee will be the registered owner or Holder of such Series 2022 Bonds for all purposes of the Indenture, the Series 2022 Bonds and this Official Statement. Purchases of beneficial ownership interests in the Series 2022 Bonds may be made in the denominations described above.

(Source: The Municipal Advisor.) 10 4867-1497-0902, v. 3 SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT FOR THE BONDS General The Series 2022 Bonds and all other Bonds issued under the Master Indenture will be secured equally and ratably by the Net Revenues and funds pledged therefor pursuant to the Master Indenture. The Series 2022 Bonds are special obligations of the City, payable exclusively from the Revenues, moneys, securities and funds pledged therefor in the Indenture, after the payment from such Revenues of Operation and Maintenance Costs of the System. “Revenues” means all revenues, connection fees, income, rents and receipts derived by the City from or attributable to the System, including all interest, profits or other income derived from the investment of any moneys held pursuant to the Indenture and the proceeds of any interest subsidy with respect to the Bonds. Revenues do not include proceeds received on insurance resulting from casualty damage to assets of the System or the proceeds of sale of bonds, notes or other obligations issued for System purposes. “Net Revenues” means, for any period, the Revenues for such period less the Operation and Maintenance Costs (as defined in APPENDIX B). In the case of an Event of Default under the Indenture, the Series 2022 Bonds are not subject to acceleration. NEITHER THE FAITH AND CREDIT NOR THE TAXING POWER OF THE CITY IS PLEDGED AS SECURITY FOR THE SERIES 2022 BONDS, AND THE SERIES 2022 BONDS DO NOT CONSTITUTE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS OF THE CITY OR OF ANY OTHER ENTITY OR BODY, MUNICIPAL, STATE OR OTHERWISE. THE INDENTURE DOES NOT MORTGAGE OR OTHERWISE PLEDGE ANY SYSTEM PROPERTIES. No Debt Service Reserve Requirement The Eleventh supplemental indenture provides that there will be no Debt Service Reserve Requirement for the Series 2022 Bonds. Certain of the Outstanding Parity Bonds have a covenant to fund a debt service reserve fund for the related bonds under certain circumstances. However, if funded, such debt service reserves will not secure the Series 2022 Bonds. Flow of Funds The Revenues are to be deposited by the City in the Revenue Fund. On or before the fourth Business Day prior to the end of each month, after the payment of unpaid Operation and Maintenance Costs then due, the City will transfer from the Revenue Fund, to the extent of money available therein, and deposit into the following Fund and Accounts the amounts set forth below: (a) in the Principal and Interest Fund (i) for credit to the Bond Service Account, the amount, if any, required so that the balance therein meets the Debt Service requirements on any outstanding Bonds (provided that if there are not sufficient moneys in the Revenue Fund to satisfy the requirements of this provision (i) with respect to all Series Subaccounts in the Bond Service Account, all moneys available for distribution among such Series Subaccounts will be deposited into the Bond Service Account and distributed pro rata based on the amount of the deficiencies to the deficient Series Subaccounts in the Bond Service Account, and provided further, there shall be allowances for amounts transferred from the Construction Fund to pay capitalized interest); and (ii) for credit to the Debt Service Reserve Account, such amounts as are required by the Master Indenture and any Supplemental Indenture for each Series of Bonds (provided that if there are not sufficient moneys in the Revenue Fund to satisfy the requirements of this provision (ii) all moneys available for distribution among the Series Subaccounts in the Debt Service Reserve Account will be deposited into the Debt Service Reserve Account and distributed pro rata based on the amount of deficiencies to the deficient Series Subaccounts in the Debt Service Reserve Account) (see “APPENDIX B— Flow of Funds”); and (b) in the Renewal and Replacement Fund the amounts necessary to fund the Renewal and Replacement Fund Reserve Requirement. The Renewal and Replacement Fund Reserve Requirement currently is $0. 11 4867-1497-0902, v. 3 Notwithstanding the foregoing, no deposits will be required into the Principal and Interest Fund so long as there is held in the Principal and Interest Fund an amount sufficient to pay in full all outstanding Bonds in accordance with their terms. Amounts remaining in the Revenue Fund at the end of each month after payment of the amounts set forth above may be applied by the City, free and clear of the lien of the Indenture, to any lawful purpose of the City. It has been the City Council’s practice to keep such amounts for use within the System. For a more detailed discussion of the flow of funds under the Indenture, please see “Flow of Funds” in APPENDIX B. Rate Covenant The City covenants in the Master Indenture that for so long as any Bonds remain outstanding the City will establish and collect rates and charges for System services that, together with other available income from the System, are reasonably expected to produce Net Revenues for the forthcoming Fiscal Year (i) equal to at least (a) 1.25 times the Aggregate Debt Service for such forthcoming Fiscal Year on all Bonds outstanding and (b) the Repayment Obligations, if any, that are due and payable during the forthcoming Fiscal Year and (ii) sufficient to fund the Debt Service Reserve Account at the times, rates and in the manner specified in the Master Indenture (collectively, the “Rate Covenant Requirement”). See “HISTORICAL AND PROJECTED SUMMARY OF THE DEPARTMENT’S REVENUES AND EXPENSES” herein. Outstanding Parity Bonds Upon the issuance of the Series 2022 Bonds, the Outstanding Parity Bonds will be outstanding under the Master Indenture in the total aggregate principal amount of $586,575,000. The Series 2022 Bonds, the Outstanding Parity Bonds, and any Additional Bonds hereafter issued pursuant to the provisions of the Master Indenture are equally and ratably secured under the terms of the Master Indenture. Additional Bonds Additional Bonds may be issued under the Master Indenture by the City only upon the satisfaction of various conditions specified in the Master Indenture. The amount of Additional Bonds that may be issued under the Master Indenture is not limited by law or the Master Indenture. In connection with the issuance of Additional Bonds to finance the construction of a Project, the City is required to file, among other things, the following documents with the Trustee: (a) a certificate of the City setting forth the then estimated completion date and the then estimated cost of construction of the Project being financed by the Additional Bonds; (b) either: (i) a certificate of the City either for the City’s most recent Fiscal Year or for any Year during the most recent 18 months showing that the Net Revenues for such period would not be less than the Rate Covenant Requirement with respect to all Bonds to be outstanding at any time during the Year next following the issuance of the Additional Bonds and the Repayment Obligations to be outstanding at any time during the Year next following the issuance of the Additional Bonds; or (ii) (A)(I) an Accountant’s Certificate, (II) an Engineer’s Certificate or (III) any combination of (I) and (II) setting forth the Estimated Net Revenues (assuming the completion of the Project on its then estimated completion date) for whichever of the following periods shall extend until the latest date: (1) if the Supplemental Indenture authorizing the Additional Bonds requires that interest on the Additional Bonds be capitalized until a certain date in accordance with the Indenture, for each of the two Fiscal Years succeeding such date, or (2) if the Supplemental Indenture authorizing the Additional Bonds does not require that interest on the Additional Bonds 12 4867-1497-0902, v. 3 be capitalized, for the then current Fiscal Year and each succeeding Fiscal Year to and including the third Fiscal Year succeeding the date of issuance of the Additional Bonds; and (B) a certificate of the City showing the Aggregate Debt Service for each of the Fiscal Years set forth in the certificate or certificates described in subparagraph (A) above and showing that the Estimated Net Revenues as shown in such certificate or certificates for each of such Fiscal Years are not less than the Rate Covenant Requirement for each of such Fiscal Years after the issuance of the Additional Bonds. In connection with the issuance of Additional Bonds to refund all or a part of the outstanding Bonds of one or more series, the City is required to deliver to the Trustee: (a) a certificate of the City stating that the issuance of such Additional Bonds complies with the requirements of the Indenture and either (i) a Certificate of the City setting forth the Aggregate Debt Service for each Fiscal Year to and including the Fiscal Year in which occurs the latest maturity of the Bonds to be refunded or the Additional Bonds, whichever is later, (A) with respect to the Bonds to be refunded and (B) with respect to the Additional Bonds, and stating that the Aggregate Debt Service for any Fiscal Year set forth pursuant to clause (B) is no greater than the Aggregate Debt Service for any Fiscal Year set forth pursuant to clause (A); or (ii) an Accountant’s Certificate (A) setting forth for the latest Fiscal Year preceding the delivery of the Additional Bonds for which Fiscal Year an audited financial report is available, the Net Revenues for such period, and (B) showing that such Net Revenues for such year would not be less than the Rate Covenant Requirement (for each Fiscal Year to and including the Fiscal Year in which occurs the latest maturity of the Additional Bonds). (b) irrevocable instructions to the Trustee to give notice of redemption of all of the Bonds to be refunded on the redemption date or dates specified in such instructions; (c) if the Bonds to be refunded are not by their terms subject to redemption within the next 60 days, irrevocable instructions to the Trustee to mail notice to the holders of the Bonds being refunded pursuant to the Indenture; (d) either (i) moneys in an amount sufficient to effect payment at the applicable Redemption Price of the Bonds to be refunded, together with accrued interest on such Bonds to the redemption date, or (ii) Investment Securities in such principal amounts, of such maturities and bearing such interest as shall be sufficient together with the moneys, if any, deposited at the same time, to pay when due the principal or Redemption Price, if applicable, and interest due and to become due on the Bonds to be refunded on and prior to the redemption date or maturity date thereof as the case may be; and (e) if the Additional Bonds to be issued are Cross-Over Refunding Bonds, the Supplemental Indenture providing for the issuance of the Additional Bonds shall, in addition to all other requirements of paragraphs (a), (b), (c) and (d), provide: (i) that until the Cross-Over Date neither principal of nor interest on the Cross-Over Refunding Bonds shall be payable from or secured by a pledge of the Revenues, but shall be payable solely from the escrow provided for under the Utah Refunding Bond Act; and (ii) there shall be filed with the Trustee an Accountant’s Certificate demonstrating the sufficiency of the moneys and investments in the escrow provided for under the Utah Refunding Bond Act to pay principal of and interest on the Cross-Over Refunding Bonds to the Cross-Over Date (which Cross-Over Date may, at the option of the City, be extended as provided in the Supplemental Indenture providing for the issuance of the Cross-Over Refunding Bonds, but only upon filing a revised Accountant’s Certificate which demonstrates that the moneys and investments then in the escrow will be sufficient to pay principal of and interest on the Cross-over Refunding Bonds to the extended Cross-Over Date). 13 4867-1497-0902, v. 3 In addition, one or more Series of Bond Anticipation Notes, payable on a parity with all Outstanding Bonds (except as provided below), may be authenticated and delivered upon original issuance from time to time in such Principal amount for each such Series as may be determined by the City for the purpose of paying or providing for the payment of all or a portion of the Cost of Construction of a Project, or the refunding of Bond Anticipation Notes, or a combination of such purpose. Each Supplemental Indenture authorizing the issuance of a Series of Bond Anticipation Notes (i) shall specify the Project for which the proceeds of such Series of Bond Anticipation Notes will be applied, and (ii) may require the City to deposit a specified amount of money from the proceeds of the sale of such Series of Bond Anticipation Notes into a Project Account in the Construction Fund to pay when due all or a portion of the interest on such Series of Bond Anticipation Notes accrued and to accrue to the Estimated Completion, plus interest to accrue on such Series of Bond Anticipation Notes after the Estimated Completion Date for up to one Year (or such different period as may then be permitted by law. If so provided in the Supplemental Indenture providing for the issuance of any Series of Bond Anticipation Notes, the payment of the Principal Installments on such Bond Anticipation Notes shall be subject to the prior lien and charge created in the Indenture for the payment of the Bonds out of the Principal and Interest Fund. As of the date of issuance of any Series of Bond Anticipation Notes, the aggregate Principal amount of all outstanding Bond Anticipation Notes (including such Series) shall never exceed the Principal amount of a hypothetical Series of Bonds which could be issued by the City on such date in compliance with the provisions described above for construction Bonds, having an assumed final maturity of 30 years, bearing an assumed rate of interest equal to the highest rate then borne by any outstanding Bond Anticipation Notes and having Debt Service due in each Fiscal Year in approximately equal amounts; provided that if no Series of Bond Anticipation Notes are then Outstanding under the Indenture, the interest rate used for purposes of the calculation shall be the interest rate borne by the Series of Bond Anticipation Notes to be issued. For a discussion on plans for the issuance of Additional Bonds, please see “THE CITY – Future Debt Plans” herein. THE SYSTEM [Update as needed] The Department of Public Utilities General.

[Need brief bio] Utility Rates The City Council has full and independent power to set rates for services provided by the System. The Department generally plans System rates on a five-year rolling basis after evaluating projected Revenues, long-term capital improvement plans, and other factors. Proposed rate increases are developed during the annual budget process in consultation with PUAC. Upon recommendation by PUAC, the annual budget including proposed rate increases is submitted to the Mayor for review and subsequent recommendation to the City Council for its approval. The Department solicits feedback from System customers regarding proposed rate increases and shares responses with the City Council. A Sewer Utility rate increase of 18% and a Water Utility rate increase of 8% became effective July 1, 2021. (See “HISTORICAL AND PROJECTED SUMMARY OF THE DEPARTMENT’S REVENUES AND EXPENSES.”) The City Council has generally been supportive of previous System rate increases. However, the City cannot predict how the City Council will vote on future rate increases. Billing and Collection Procedures The Department bills for all services provided by the System in one combined, monthly bill. Also included in the monthly bill are other City services, such as garbage collection, recycling, and transit passes. All payments from customers are allocated based on percentage of charges and customers cannot choose to pay one charge for any particular utility over another. By City ordinance, outstanding or delinquent customer accounts are considered water fees and as such, water service would be denied until delinquent customers bring their account balance current or fully paid. Historically, delinquent accounts (defined as outstanding balances greater than 90 days) have averaged less than 1% of outstanding accounts receivable. Water Utility General. As of [June 30, 2021], the Water Utility provides water to a population of more than [360,000] people through [92,026] connections with an approximate per capita consumption in the 2021 fiscal year of 188 gallons per day. Unlike other parts of the System which only service the City, the Water Utility service area includes the corporate limits of the City and other portions of the County covering an area of over 140 square miles. The service area outside the City begins at the southern corporate limits of the City and extends to the mouth of Little Cottonwood Canyon on the south and is bounded by the Wasatch Mountains on the east and approximately 1300 East Street on the west. [The Water Utility includes ten primary water sources (some with multiple subsources, including 26 deep wells), three water treatment plants, six raw water storage reservoirs with a collective capacity of 22,095 acre-feet (“AF”), 22 distribution reservoirs with a collective capacity of 96 million gallons (“MG”), 10 storage tanks which have a collective capacity of 7.63 MG, and an interconnecting network of approximately 1,308 miles of distribution and transmission lines to link the numerous facilities with the customers. The City estimates that the weighted average age of the water lines is about 60 years. Sources and Supplies of Water. The City obtains the principal portion of its water supply from (a) stream flows (Big Cottonwood Creek, Little Cottonwood Creek, Parley’s Creek and City Creek located adjacent or in close proximity to the City) and (b) reservoir storage in Deer Creek Reservoir on the Provo River in Wasatch County and Mountain Dell and Little Dell Reservoirs located in Parley’s Canyon in Salt Lake County, all of which store water collected from the watersheds and annual snowfall in the Wasatch Mountains directly east of the City. The Department also has ownership in wells and springs and other water rights and contracts such as the contract with Metropolitan Water District of Salt Lake and Sandy (“MWD”) pursuant to which MWD provides water for purchase to both the City and Sandy City, Utah (“Sandy”). The Central Utah Project (“CUP”), which is managed 16 4867-1497-0902, v. 3 by the Central Utah Water Conservancy District, allows MWD to provide 20,000 AF each year to both the City and Sandy. Sandy can purchase up to 7,940 AF through MWD of the allotment. Direct Appropriations. The City has direct appropriation rights for water delivered out of City Creek, Red Butte, Emigration, Parleys, Mill Creek, Big Cottonwood, and Little Cottonwood Creeks and filings to 108 cubic feet per second of ground water in Salt Lake Valley (which is equal to a withdrawal rate of 18,000 AF per year). Approximately 9 to 15% of the City’s water comes from wells and springs depending on natural variability of stream flows, climate, and water demand each year. Water Right Purchases and Exchange Contracts. The City has acquired significant water rights to the following streams through water rights purchases and water exchange contracts: Big Cottonwood Creek, Little Cottonwood Creek, Mill Creek, and Parley’s Creek. The exchange contracts convey the water rights of these streams to the City in exchange for providing irrigation water during the irrigation season from water held by the City in Utah Lake and other sources. The City entered into the first exchange agreement in 1888 with owners of Parley’s Creek, providing non-culinary Utah Lake and other water through the Jordan and Salt Lake City Canal for the high-quality mountain water. Subsequently, similar exchanges were made with the previous water right holders of Mill Creek, Big Cottonwood Creek and Little Cottonwood Creek. The duration of each of these contracts is in perpetuity as long as the specified quantity of irrigation water is supplied during the irrigation season. Over time the City, through policy, has purchased irrigation companies or become the majority shareholder, which has reduced the City’s exchange contract obligations. The City continues to implement this policy. MWD Contracts. MWD was organized and functions as a wholesale provider of water to the City and Sandy. Accordingly, the City obtains treated water from MWD for distribution in the City’s service area. For more information regarding MWD, see “Metropolitan Water District of Salt Lake and Sandy” below. MWD’s primary sources of water are the Provo River Project (the “PRP”), the CUP, and the Little Dell Reservoir, each as more fully discussed below. MWD’s Little Cottonwood Treatment Plant also treats the City’s Little Cottonwood Creek water. MWD owns 61.7% of the issued and outstanding shares of Provo River Water Users Association (“PRWUA”) stock, which entitles it to 61.7% (approximately 61,700 AF) of the water available for allotment each water year to PRWUA shareholders from the PRP, a federal reclamation project. PRWUA shares are fully assessable and such assessments to the PRWUA shareholders are expected to increase in the future because of several significant PRWUA capital improvement projects. The projected PRWUA assessments were taken into account in projecting future MWD water rates, as described below. Sandy has the preferential right to purchase up to 7,940 AF of the water available to MWD under existing MWD rights to PRP and CUP water. The City has the preferential right to purchase all PRP and CUP water available under existing MWD rights that has not been allocated to Sandy. To the extent that either the City or Sandy does not exercise its preferential right to purchase MWD water, the other city has the right to do so in preference to all others. MWD may sell any surplus water to others. The City and MWD each own interests in water rights that allow water to be stored in the Little Dell Reservoir. The City treats and is entitled to all City and MWD water from Little Dell Reservoir. Existing Water Sources. The City’s existing water supply comes from a number of different sources. For planning purposes, the City’s sources have been grouped into the following categories: (a) Surface Water Sources and (b) Ground Water Sources. Surface Water Sources. The City owns or controls water rights in several surface water sources. This includes surface water treated at the following City-owned and operated treatment plants: Big Cottonwood Water Treatment Plant (BCWTP), Parleys Water Treatment Plant (Parleys WTP), and City Creek Water Treatment Plant (CCWTP). The City also owns most of the water rights in Little Cottonwood Creek, which is treated at the MWD’s Little Cottonwood Water Treatment Plant (LCWTP). Based on the City’s current 40-year water supply and demand plan, the combined projected annual yield of these sources is 40,820 AF (dry year) and 59,500 AF (average year). The City also holds surface water rights in Red Butte, Emigration, and Mill Creeks, Utah Lake, and the Jordan River. Those water rights are put to beneficial use to meet exchange contract deliveries for irrigation water. Mill Creek water rights are also held for future culinary water sources, as described below. 17 4867-1497-0902, v. 3 Finally, the City has substantial interest in surface water sources via PRP and CUP through its contractual relationship with MWD. The yield of water stores in PRP is estimated to be 53,760 AF (average year) and 18,900 AF (dry year). The available CUP supply is 20,000 acre-feet in both average and dry years, which is contractually defined. City Groundwater Sources. The City owns water rights for a number of groundwater sources. For evaluation purposes, these sources have been broken into two categories: Base Wells and Springs – The City has a number of springs and artesian wells that require little or no pumping. Water from these sources is used year-round by the City. The estimated average annual production of these sources is 7,500 AF. That figure is for both average and dry water years. Peaking Wells – All remaining groundwater sources owned by the City are generally used only during the summer months to meet peak demands. Annual production from these wells will vary significantly based on needs. In average years, the estimated yield of these wells is 4,400 AF. The estimated maximum of the wells in dry years is 10,400 AF. Combining both categories of groundwater sources results in an average year yield of 11,900 AF and a maximum dry year yield of 17,900 AF/year. Potential New Water Sources. The City recently completed an updated water supply and demand plan through the year 2060. The City is currently considering the following potential new sources: new well development, additional surface water development, wastewater reuse, and additional Little Dell water rights. The City has also included more aggressive water conservation goals and impacts of climate change to water supply and demand when considering both existing and new sources of water. New Groundwater Development. To meet future demands, the City has planned for the development of additional wells at various locations throughout its System and the rehabilitation of existing wells at higher capacities. The City estimates development of new groundwater sources will yield up to 12,000 AF annually of additional ground water in dry years. In average years, it has been assumed that yields would be limited to 3,000 AF. Additional Surface Water Development. Another potential new supply the City is exploring is development of additional surface water sources. This could include construction of a treatment plant to treat water from Millcreek Canyon. The City would like to develop additional surface water sufficient to produce at least 3,300 AF during dry years. Based on historical flow records for Millcreek, that development would equate to an estimated average year yield of 3,967 AF. Utah Lake System Water. The City petitioned CUCWD for CUP water through the planned Utah Lake System (ULS) through MWD and will begin receiving 3,100 acre-feet of ULS water in 2021 and runs in perpetuity. Wastewater Reuse. The City has an interest in pursuing opportunities for wastewater reuse. Probable reuse opportunities currently being studied include irrigation of two large golf courses and a park area near the City’s wastewater treatment plant. Initial City plans for wastewater reuse would produce approximately 4,200 AF annually and production would be constant in both dry and average water years. Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR). The City, in conjunction with Sandy and MWD, is investigating the use of ASR. This option would use high spring runoff in the City’s water sources that currently arrives during a period when supply is in excess of demand (early spring). The water would be stored in the aquifer for use during dry years. The projected annual volume available to the City would be 5,900 AF in dry years. Total Dry Year Production: The City estimates water yield based on conservatively calculated dry year production of each of its water sources. For current water sources, the estimated annual dry year production is 97,620 AF. The estimated annual dry year production by 2050 of current and future water sources is estimated to be over 18 4867-1497-0902, v. 3 126,120 AF. City water supplies have exceeded customer demands in the past and water supply is expected to meet the anticipated demands for future years. The table below summarizes the various sources of water available to the City for the last five fiscal years in acre feet (AF).

Metropolitan Water District of Salt Lake and Sandy. MWD is a metropolitan water district formed in 1935 under the Metropolitan Water District Act, Title 17B, Chapter 2a, Part 6, Utah Code, to provide supplemental wholesale water to the City and Sandy. The City was the sole member of MWD until Sandy became a part of MWD in 1990. MWD is governed by an independent, seven-person Board of Trustees, five of whom are appointed by the Salt Lake City Council and two of whom are appointed by Sandy. MWD owns and operates, or has capacity rights in, water treatment plants, aqueducts, a water reservoir and other facilities. MWD’s mission is to acquire water rights or acquire, construct or operate, control and use various facilities (each, a “MWD Project”) for the transportation or treatment of water for the benefit of the City and Sandy. The Board of Trustees of MWD, after consultation with the City and Sandy, determines the scope of any MWD Project, the costs of such MWD Project, and whether or not to proceed with an MWD Project. Depending on the nature of the MWD Project and subject to the 2001 Interlocal Agreement (as defined below), the costs of such MWD Project are recovered by MWD through (a) annual assessments charged to the City and Sandy or (b) from (i) the ad valorem property tax MWD is authorized to levy, (ii) the rates MWD charges the City and Sandy for the purchase of water, or (iii) any combination of (i) or (ii). Annual assessments are charged in proportion to the supply, treatment and/or conveyance capacities from an MWD Project that are committed on a preferential basis to the City and Sandy. Pursuant to an Interlocal Agreement, dated as of May 1, 2001 (the “2001 Interlocal Agreement”), among MWD, the City and Sandy, the City and Sandy have the first right to determine the allocation of the preferential rights to capacity or supply from an MWD Project. However, in the event that the City and Sandy cannot agree to such allocation, MWD will allocate the preferential rights from an MWD Project to the City and Sandy. The MWD Board of Trustees sets MWD water rates, after consultation with the City and Sandy. Preliminary projections of MWD’s water rates are based upon a number of assumptions regarding future contingencies, including assumptions regarding PRWUA assessments, MWD water sales, MWD tax revenues and costs of labor and supplies. 19 4867-1497-0902, v. 3 The preliminary projections of MWD water rates have been included in the City’s estimated costs of sales and services contained under the caption “HISTORICAL AND PROJECTED SUMMARY OF THE DEPARTMENT’S REVENUES AND EXPENSES.” For further discussion of MWD’s water rights, certain proposed MWD Projects and currently anticipated annual assessments, see “Sources and Supplies of Water” above and “Water Treatment Capacity” below. Water Treatment Capacity. The following table shows the treatment capacity in million gallons per day (“MGD”) available to the City through its three water treatment plants (at City Creek, Parley’s Canyon, and Big Cottonwood Canyon), LCWTP, the City’s share of MWD’s Point of the Mountain Water Treatment Plant (“POMWTP”), MWD’s share of the capacity of the Jordan Valley Water Treatment Plant (“JVWTP”), which is operated by Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District, and wells and springs: Water Treatment Capacity Treatment Plant Treatment Capacity (MGD) City Creek 15 Parley’s 45 Big Cottonwood 42 MWD: LCWTP(1) 150:125 POMWTP(1) 70:44 JVWTP(1) 180:45 Wells/Springs(2) 44 Total City Portion 360 (1) Amounts shown are total plant capacity and City portion of such total plant capacity (e.g. 150 MGD total treatment capacity, of which 125 MGD is available to the City), if such capacity is available. (2) Amount shown for wells/springs represents the amount of potable water available to the City from its wells and springs and does not require treatment. In 2007, MWD enlarged the water treatment capacity of LCWTP to approximately 150 MGD and finished construction of the POMWTP (70 MGD capacity). Pursuant to the 2001 Interlocal Agreement, the costs of enlarging the LCWTP were recovered by MWD through the ad valorem property tax that MWD levies and through charges (based on water rates) to the City and Sandy. Also pursuant to the 2001 Interlocal Agreement, MWD charges the City and Sandy an annual assessment for certain new capital improvements, including POMWTP, the Point of the Mountain Aqueduct (“POMA”) which connects LCWTP and POMWTP, and certain other improvements. The capacities committed to the City and Sandy are preferential rights. Neither the City nor Sandy has an ownership interest in the facilities providing such capacities. The projected charges have been incorporated in the System’s estimated operating expenses shown in the table under the caption “HISTORICAL AND PROJECTED SUMMARY OF THE DEPARTMENT’S REVENUES AND EXPENSES.” The City has a preferential right to 62.5% of POMWTP’s capacity and is responsible for 62.5% of the total annual assessment relating to such facility. The preferential capacity rights of each city in each section of POMA are described in the 2001 Interlocal Agreement. Currently, the City is being charged an annual assessment of approximately $7.1 million each year until 2034 for such capacity rights in POMWTP and POMA. The projected annual assessments have been incorporated in the System’s estimated operating expenses shown in the table under the caption “HISTORICAL AND PROJECTED SUMMARY OF THE DEPARTMENT’S REVENUES AND EXPENSES.” It is anticipated that annual assessments for POMWTP and POMA will be charged to the City regardless of the quantity of water purchased from MWD or the actual amount of capacity provided by POMWTP and POMA; provided, however, to the extent that MWD uses any of the excess capacity from POMWTP or POMA to provide water to others, the City will be credited for a portion of its annual assessment. Pursuant to the Indenture, any annual assessment charged to the City under the 2001 Interlocal Agreement will be treated as an Operations and Maintenance Cost. 20 4867-1497-0902, v. 3 City Water Supply and Demand. The City projects culinary water demand based on a drought condition scenario and includes growth projections from the City and other governmental agencies as well as other factors such as climate change. The City has projected culinary water production versus supply out to the year 2060. The City’s existing water resources, together with the potential new water sources discussed above will be sufficient to meet future demand scenarios. City Water Consumption. The following table summarizes City water demand for the last five fiscal years in terms of water consumption in millions of gallons (MG) and in acre-feet (AF), estimated equivalent population served, and the corresponding estimated per capita water consumption in gallons per day. Fiscal Year Total Consumption (MG/AF)(1) Estimated Equivalent Population Served Per Capita Consumption (Gallons Per Day) 2017 25,092/76,993 347,976 197 2018 25,438/78,055 352,152 198 2019 23,954/73,512 356,677 184 2020 24,425/74,956 360,654 186 2021 25,128/77,116 364,982 188 (1) One million gallons is equivalent to 3.069 acre-feet. Major Water Facility Users. The following table summarizes the City’s top ten water users for fiscal year [2021] in terms of water charges and percentage of total water sales. User Type Annual Billing % of Total Annual Billing University of Utah School, Hospital Tesoro Petroleum Industrial Municipal Golf Courses Municipal Government City Dept. of Airports Municipal Government Utah Power Industrial VA Medical Center Hospital SLC Regional Complex Municipal Government WWF Operating Company Industrial Grand America Hotel Business Meadow Gold Dairies Industrial Total Water Rates. In the past several years, the City has increased its water rates by 4% to 5% annually. The City implemented a new rate structure effective July 1, 2021 accompanied by an 8% increase in water rates. Water rates are calculated on a monthly service charge based on meter size plus a winter months usage rate or a summer months four-tiered usage rate. During the summer months, each usage tier or “block” is based on the amount of water used measured in units of one-hundred cubic feet or “ccf” (equivalent to 748 gallons of water). The City’s current water rates for users within and outside the City boundaries, which have been in effect since July 1, 2021, are as follows: Water Rates – Single Residential Accounts Within City Boundaries Outside City Boundaries Monthly service charge(1) $10.03 $13.54 Usage rate per ccf (Nov. – March) 1.48 2.00 Usage rate per ccf (April – Oct) Block 1: 1-10 ccf 1.48 2.00 Block 2: 11-30 ccf 2.02 2.73 Block 3: 31-60 ccf 2.80 3.78 Block 4: Over 61 ccf 2.99 4.04 (1) Based on a 3/4” meter size. 21 4867-1497-0902, v. 3 Water Rates – Commercial and Industrial Accounts Within City Boundaries Outside City Boundaries Monthly service charge(1) $30.12 $40.66 Usage rate per ccf (Nov. – March) 1.61 2.17 Usage rate per ccf (April – Oct) Block 1: 1 ccf - AWC(2) 1.61 2.17 Block 2: > 100% - 300% AWC 2.21 2.98 Block 3: > 300% - 600% AWC 3.07 4.14 Block 4: Over 600% AWC 3.26 4.40 (1) Based on a 2” meter size. (2) Average Winter Water consumption, which varies for each commercial and industrial customer. Water Utility Connection Fees. The City charges a fee to connect to the Water Utility, which includes connection-related fees and an impact fee. A schedule of the fees is shown below. These charges may change from time to time as capital improvement or other programs are implemented at the various entities. The connection fees as of July 1, 2020, are as follows: Water Utility –Connection Fees(1) Classification Dwelling Meter Size Within City Boundaries Outside City Boundaries Residential Single family 3/4 inch $2,329.07 $3,884.31 Single family 1 inch 3,884.30 4,081.30 Duplex 1 inch 3,885.30 4,082.30 Triplex 1 inch 3,886.30 4,083.30 Fourplex 1 inch 3,887.30 4,084.30 Commercial/Industrial Compound(2) 3/4 inch 4,417.30 4,800.30 Compound 1 inch 4,417.30 4,800.30 Compound 1.5 inch 9,836.98 10,574.98 Compound 2 inch 14,437.83 15,495.83 Compound 3 inch 29,998.54 32,158.54 Compound 4 inch(3) 35,144.54 35,144.54 Compound 6 inch 65,547.59 65,547.59 Compound 8 inch 100,080.54 100,080.54 Turbo(4) 2 - 8 inch Price determined upon request Price determined upon request Fire Meter 4 inch 37,090.93 37,090.93 Fire Meter 6 inch 67,447.57 67,447.57 Fire Meter 8 inch 104,864.63 104,864.63 Fire Meter 10 inch 147,025.18 147,025.18 (1) Connection fee includes hardware costs, inspection fees, and impact fees. (2) Compound meters allow for measurement of both high and small flow rates. (3) For meters 4 inches and larger a water resource fee is added which is based on the ratio of the projected usage (gpd) to the equivalent residential unit amount of 449 gpd multiplied by $106. (4) Turbo meters are used where continuous and sustained flow rates are required. Sewer Utility General. The Sewer Utility was founded in 1887 to serve the City’s downtown business district, and from that early beginning, the collection system has expanded to serve most of the now approximately 117 square miles of the City. The Sewer Utility presently contains over 654 miles of sanitary sewer pipe, various sewage lift stations and a pretreatment and biological treatment plant. The City estimates that the weighted average age of the sewer lines in the Sewer Utility is 66 years. 22 4867-1497-0902, v. 3 The SLCWRF, portions of which are over 60 years old, was constructed with a capacity of 45 MGD and was upgraded to 56 MGD in 1986. The SLCWRF currently provides wastewater treatment to EPA secondary effluent standards by incorporating a “Trickling Filter/Activated Sludge” process and chlorine disinfection. Following treatment, water is discharged into the City’s Northwest Drain Canal and flows directly to Farmington Bay of the Great Salt Lake. At the 2019 National Association of Clean Water Agencies (NACWA) Utility Leadership Conference, the SLCWRF was recognized for 26 years of complete and consistent National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (“NPDES”) permit compliance. The Sewer Utility serves an estimated population of [200,567] within the municipal corporate limits of the City through [50,119] connections. The daytime population increases significantly to over [300,000]. By industry standards, the calculated population equivalent served by the Sewer Utility and SLCWRF is approximately 194,000. The SLCWRF treated a monthly average flow of [28.52] MGD and a peak month flow of [42.2] MGD in the fiscal year ended [June 30, 2021] and is currently meeting its NPDES limitations. The SLCWRF currently has a 56 MGD capacity. The City believes that the SLCWRF has adequate capacity to meet the City’s present needs and is planning to meet future demand. See “System Capital Financing Programs–Sewer Capital Financing Program” herein. City Wastewater Treatment. The following chart shows the wastewater treatment at the Treatment Plant for each of the past five fiscal years: Fiscal Year Flow Average (MGD) TBOD(1) (mg per liter) TSS(2) (mg per liter) 2021 2020 2019(3) 33.487 13.2 13.9 2018(3) 27.967 12.2 11.4 2017 28.993 9.4 10.9 (1) Total Biochemical Oxygen Demand (“TBOD”) represents the amount of oxygen used by microorganisms in the aerobic biological process as they consume organic material. The TBOD test measures the amount of dissolved oxygen needed by aerobic decomposers to break down the organic materials in a given volume of wastewater over a period of five days. The City’s current effluent permit limit for TBOD is 25 milligrams per liter (“mg/L”). (2) The City’s current effluent permit limit for Total Suspended Solids (“TSS”) is 25 mg/L. (3) The increase in TBOD and TSS in beginning in 2018 is attributed to revised calibration of the influent meter for better accuracy. Rainfall also affects the efficiency of the process and the spring of 2019 was wet and thus decreased the efficiency of the process. Major Sewer Facility Users. The following table summarizes the City’s top ten Sewer Utility users for fiscal year [2021] in terms of water charges and percentage of total water sales: User Type Annual Billing % of Total Annual Billing Tesoro Petroleum Industrial University of Utah School, Charity, Hospital WWF Operating Company Business San Pietro Properties LLC Business The Sun Products Corp Industrial Meadow Gold Dairies Business Grand America Hotel Hotel VA Medical Center Hospital Thatcher Company Industrial Sweet Candy Company Business Total 23 4867-1497-0902, v. 3 Sewer Rates. On June 16, 2020, the City Council adopted a new fee schedule approving an 18% sewer rate increase. Effective July 1, 2021, the City’s sewer rates are as follows: (a) Minimum charge per month: $10.26 per residential unit, or $5.13 per ccf of average monthly water meter reading of those using solely City water during the consecutive months of November through March inclusive each year (average winter usage), whichever is higher. (b) Commercial customers discharging waste strength between 300 mg/l and 1,800 mg/l of biological demand or total suspended solids will be charged $5.64 per ccf to $13.43 per ccf depending on strength of waste. Customers discharging greater than 1,800 mg/l of biological oxygen demand or total suspended solids will be charged based on actual pounds of chemical oxygen demand, biological oxygen demand, and/or total suspended solids.\ (c) Users having more than one water meter, one or more of which measures water eventually discharged into the Sewer Facility and one or more other meters measuring water not entering the Sewer Facility, will be charged $5.13 per ccf for all water used which may enter the sewer, but will not be assessed a sewer charge on water meter(s) which measure water, no part of which flows into the sewer system. (d) For those not using City water or using some City water, the City may require a City-approved meter, at the sewer user’s expense, on the well(s) or other source(s) of water supply for measurement by the City during said months, the average of which shall become the basis for sewer billings for said period. Sewer Utility Connection Fees. The City charges a fee to connect to the Sewer Facilities. A schedule of such fees is shown below. These charges may change from time to time as capital improvement or other programs are implemented at the various entities. Sewer Utility – Connection Fees Type Fee Residential single dwelling, and condominium, per connection or unit $545 Multi-family dwellings: Duplex 818 Triplex 1,226 Townhouse (apartment) per unit 409 Hotels and motels Per dwelling unit without kitchen or restaurant 273 Per dwelling unit with a kitchen and/or restaurant 363 General commercial and industrial uses, per each equivalent fixture unit 27 Trailer parks, per equivalent fixture unit (3 trailer spaces equal 1 equivalent fixture unit) 545 Recreation parks, per equivalent fixture unit (6 trailer spaces equal 1 equivalent fixture unit) 545 Special industrial and commercial uses (including car washes, laundromats, etc.), per equivalent fixture unit, as specified in the Uniform Plumbing Code 27 Stormwater Utility General. In June 1991, the City Council created the Stormwater Utility to improve drainage and to meet EPA rules and regulations. The Stormwater Utility is a drainage system physically separate and distinct from the Sewer Utility. The Stormwater Utility includes approximately 351 miles of storm drain pipe, 45 miles of open channel ditches and 26 pump stations. The Department has completed Part 1 and Part 2 of the Utah Pollution Discharge Elimination System permit application for discharges from municipal separate storm sewer systems in accordance with EPA regulations 40 CFR Section 122.21 and 122.26, which parts have been approved. 24 4867-1497-0902, v. 3 Major Stormwater Facility Users.

Business Union Pacific Railroad Business Woodman, Ron Industrial Bay Bridge/Corporate LLC Business SLCWRF Municipal Business Utah Power Business AFRC Business Total Stormwater Rates. Single family homes provide the basis for the rate in that the average amount of impervious area on a single-family residence is 2,500 square feet or 1 equivalent service unit. Based on a 10% rate increase approved by the City Council and effective July 1, 2021, single-family homes are charged a rate of $5.98 per month. All non-single-family parcels pay a multiple of this base rate according to their measured impervious area. Businesses, industrial, commercial and tax-exempt properties pay a multiple of the single-family fee. The amount depends upon the impervious area (such as parking lots, roofs and pavement). The City also charges $374 per 1/4 acre for connection to the Stormwater Utility on all new development within City boundaries. This connection fee must be paid prior to the issuance of a building permit. Street Lighting Utility The Street Lighting Utility consists of 15,668 street lights. The City provides a “base level” of lighting, which includes standard light poles placed at the end of each block and mid-block section. This is funded through a fee (the “Basic Service Fee”) charged to properties on City utility bills. The Basic Service Fee is assessed monthly to each property and is based on the number of Equivalent Residential Units (ERUs) for each property. Based on the average residential street frontage of 75 feet, all residential, duplex, and triplex properties are assessed one ERU. Commercial and institutional properties are assessed one ERU for every 75 feet of street frontage. As of [June 30, 2021], there are approximately 74,000 ERUs in the City subject to the Basic Service Fee. In addition to the Basic Service Fee, some areas of the City, such as the Central Business District, have a higher level of service. These areas are considered to have an “enhanced” level of service and this higher level of service is paid for by the property owners who are benefitted by it. “Enhanced Lighting Fees” were established July 1, 2016. As of [June 30, 2021], there were approximately [3,805] Enhanced Lighting Fee accounts and approximately [4,785] enhanced service ERUs. The average monthly charge for an Enhanced Lighting customer is [$17.11]. The new Enhanced Lighting Fee ensures that decorative lights are properly and regularly maintained, that they are upgraded for energy efficiency, and that costs are paid for by the property owners in those areas. The Enhanced Lighting Fee includes three types of service groups based on type of light and anticipated needed capital expenditures as shown below. 25 4867-1497-0902, v. 3 Street Lighting Rates Service Fee Note Basic Service Fee City-wide $3.73 Per ERU Per month. No bills shall be less than 1 ERU Enhanced Lighting Fees Group 1 Decorative Lights – High Efficiency(1) $5.67 per ERU Per month – residential Group 2 Decorative Lights(2) $15.94 per ERU Per month – residential Group 3 Decorative Multi-Head Lights(3) $43.82 per ERU Per month – commercial (1) Group 1 rates apply to the existing, predominantly residential properties with more closely spaced enhanced decorative lights; lights are generally energy efficient and large capital expenditures are not expected within the next three fiscal years. (2) Group 2 rates apply to the existing, predominantly residential properties with a number of enhanced decorate lights; many lights require energy efficiency upgrades and wiring projects. (3) Group 3 rates apply to the existing properties in the predominantly commercial areas with a number of enhanced decorative lights. System Capital Financing Programs Water Capital Financing Program. The water capital financing program has funded more than $267 million in improvements since 2001, primarily on a pay-as-you-go basis. Major capital improvements have included waterline replacements, upgrades to existing treatment plants, and upgrading existing reservoirs and storage tanks to meet current seismic standards. As a result of the capital improvement program, the City’s water treatment plant capacity has been increased since 1992 by 26% through upgrades to the Big Cottonwood and the Little Cottonwood water treatment plants. During this same time period, the City’s east-side aqueduct capacity has been increased by 90% through upsizing the Big Cottonwood conduit. The City plans to continue a robust capital improvement program for the Water Utility funded primarily by proceeds from rate increases. [The Series 2022 Project includes upgrades to the distribution system, a portion of which supports the City’s road reconstruction program, water treatment plant projects, and master plan projects.] See “THE SERIES 2022 PROJECT” herein. Sewer Capital Financing Program. In 2001, the City Council adopted a six-year, $57 million capital improvement program to upgrade the SLCWRF and sewage collection system. The projects were initially funded with approximately $22 million of bonds in 2004 (which were refunded by the Series 2012 Bonds) with additional funding coming from cash reserves and approved sewer rate increases on a pay-as- you-go basis. Improvements exceeding $159 million have been funded on a pay-as-you go-basis since 2001. The Series 2009 Bonds were issued as part of economic stimulus funding by the State which funded the replacement of the digester cover and walls at the SLCWRF. In addition to refunding certain outstanding bonds, the Series 2012 Bonds also funded over $6.0 million in improvements to the reclamation facility and the collections system. In December 2016, final review was completed of an extensive water reclamation facility master plan update. Due to the new State nutrient treatment requirements and the age of the existing facility, the master plan developed a path forward to comply with the new requirements while replacing much of the 56-year old SLCWRF with an updated treatment process. The Series 2017 Bonds were used to facilitate the expansion of the capacity of the sewer collection system by allowing flow balancing within the system and construction of master planned projects. [The Series 2020 Bonds and the Series 2022B Bonds are funding a portion of the SLCWRF master plan implementation as well as improvements to the Sewer Facility collection system. Approximately 49% of the improvements to the SLCWRF are being funded from the WIFIA Loan.] Stormwater Capital Financing Program. The stormwater capital program has funded over $74 million in capital improvements since 2002. Most of these improvements have been funded on a pay-as-you-go basis; however, bonds issued in 2004 (refunded by the Series 2012 Bonds) were issued to fund a new stormwater trunk line, and the Series 2011 Bonds funded the Folsom Avenue stormwater project and other various stormwater improvements. [Proceeds of the Series 2020 Bonds are being applied to fund the City’s road reconstruction program including investment in green infrastructure.] 26 4867-1497-0902, v. 3 Street Lighting Capital Financing Program. Accounting for City street lighting was removed from the City’s general fund and established as a separate enterprise fund in January 2013. This restructuring provides reliable funding for the Street Lighting Utility. Since becoming an enterprise fund the Department has made significant improvements in the overall condition of this Utility. Just over half of the City streetlights are now considered energy efficient. A soon to be completed Street Lighting Master Plan will provide guidance for future streetlight installations based on street type and locations in the City. Improvements exceeding $8 million have been funded since 2013. The Series 2017 Bonds financed wiring replacements and upgrades to high efficiency lamps in the enhanced service areas. No new bond monies are requested for this utility at this time. The Department will continue system improvements from pay-as-you-go rate revenues with plans to spend about $2.2 million annually on Street Lighting improvements to enhance service and energy savings over the next four fiscal years beginning in FY2021.

Employee Workforce and Retirement System The City currently employs approximately 3,001 full-time employees and approximately 453 hourly and part-time employees for a total employment of approximately 3,454 employees. The City participates in three cost sharing multiple-employer public employee retirement systems and one multiple-employer agent system which are defined benefit retirement plans covering public employees of the State and employees of participating local governmental entities (the “Systems”). The Systems are administered under the direction of the Utah State Retirement Board whose members are appointed by the Governor of the State. Retirement Liability The City participates in the Utah Retirement System (“URS”). URS is funded and administered by the State. Each year, as approved by the State Legislature, URS sets rates, enacts rules, and implements policies related to the pensions and benefits the City retirees receive.

Additional Bonds in the amount of approximately $___ million are expected to be issued over the next five years to fund the Department’s capital improvement program. A major focus of the Department’s budget is the rehabilitation and replacement of aging infrastructure. In addition to the Series 2022 Project, the Additional Bonds will fund improvements [to three water treatment plants, phased construction of a new water conveyance line to expand service and provide redundancy, and water, sewer and stormwater utility infrastructure work necessitated by street improvement projects. As discussed herein, any Additional Bonds are secured by and payable from Net Revenues on a parity with the Series 2022 Bonds and the Outstanding Parity Bonds. Other City Debt. A special bond election held on November 6, 2018 gave voter authorization to the City to issue up to $87 million in general obligation bonds to fund all or a portion of the costs of improving various streets and roads throughout the City and related infrastructure improvements. The City has issued approximately $____ of bonds from such authorization. The City anticipates issuing the remaining authorization within the next 5-6 years. Such bonds are secured by and payable from ad valorem property taxes and not Net Revenues. The City analyzes the potential value of refunding bond issues, particularly during periods of lower than normal interest rates or on an as needed basis. The City will issue approximately $__ billion in additional general airport revenue bonds in the future to complete the $4.1 billion airport reconstruction program. The reconstruction program is currently expected to be completed by 2024. Such bonds are secured by and payable from revenues of the City’s airport system and not Net Revenues. Recent Developments General. Fiscal year 2021 general fund expenses are expected to end very close to budget. Due to COVID- 19 and the September 2020 Windstorm there have been unusual and unexpected changes in spending. The administration and council have provided additional emergency funding, and it is expected that these departments will be very close to budget on June 30, 2021. Overall revenue for fiscal year 2021 is projected to be $9.0 million over budget. Permit and License revenue is expected to be higher than budgeted due to increases in construction related permitting. Total sales tax revenues are approximately $8.0 million over budget. Fines & Forfeitures, Parking Meter Revenue and Miscellaneous Revenue are all under budget due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Fund balance for the end of fiscal year 2020 was $67.2 million or 20.85% of total revenues for the year. The City Council and administration have an internal goal to keep the fund balance above 14% of total revenue for each fiscal year. In fiscal year 2019 the total fund balance was $43.5 million (16.0%) and a conservative fund balance estimate for fiscal year 2021 is $47.5 million (14.5%). Fiscal year 2021 budget grew by approximately 10%, an increase of $28.4, million as compared to the previous year. Major general fund expense increases were $5.7 million mostly associated with salary and benefit cost increases, 66 new positions at a budgeted cost of $3.4 million, a transfer of 68 police officers from the Salt Lake City International Airport at a cost of $7.7 million funded by the Airport, $4.7 million of transportation initiatives funded through a new sales tax and an increase in the transfer to the fleet fund of just over $4.3 million. COVID-19. As the regional employment center, tourism destination, and entertainment hub for the State of Utah, Salt Lake City has experienced a significant loss of revenues in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. General fund estimated losses through Dec 31, 2020 exceed $48 million. The fiscal year 2021 general fund put into place some reduction strategies, which include a hiring freeze for six months, while the rest of the general fund’s expenditure budget remained flat. The City’s administration took a conservative approach on the revenues projected with some of the major sources being decreased by 15% for 6 months of fiscal year 2021. The City has incurred an estimated $6.5 million in unbudgeted local expenses in response to this crisis. The City has received $12,001,476 million from the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act funding allocated to the State and/or County and will receive an additional installment of CARES funding in Fall of 2021. The City has also received $7,987,257 in Rental Assistance and $42,705,786 (first 50% installment) from The American Rescue Plan. September 2020 Windstorm. On Sept 8, 2020 Salt Lake City experienced hurricane force winds which caused thousands of trees and limbs to fall, causing property damage, power outages and road and business closures. Downed trees blocked critical emergency routes throughout the city as well as many thoroughfares preventing first responder access and critical daily residential refuse collection. The windstorm created a state of local emergency under Utah Code and City Code. With the help 35 4867-1497-0902, v. 3 of the National Guard, State, County, and local jurisdictions, and volunteer organizations, Salt Lake City removed and disposed of over 9,000 tons of debris. The current estimate of losses from the windstorm exceeds $8 million. This projection could change as we continue to clean up and repair damaged buildings, sidewalks, and irrigation systems. It currently appears that some windstorm related damages will be covered by the City’s property insurance less a $100,000 deductible. The City is seeking FEMA Public Assistance to help with the uninsured and underinsured damages. See also “INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS—Potential Impact of the Coronavirus” below. No Defaulted Obligations The City has never failed to pay principal and interest when due on any of its bonds, notes or other financial obligations. FINANCIAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE CITY Fund Structure (Accounting Basis) The accounts of the City are organized on the basis of funds, each of which is considered to be a separate accounting entity. The operations of each fund are accounted for by providing a separate set of self-balancing accounts that comprise its assets, liabilities, fund balance or net assets, revenues, and expenditures or expenses. The various funds are grouped by type in the basic financial statements. Revenues and expenditures are recognized using the modified accrual basis of accounting in all governmental funds. Revenues are recognized in the accounting period in which they become both measurable and available. “Measurable” means that amounts can be reasonably determined within the current period. “Available” means that amounts are collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to be used to pay liabilities of the current period. The City uses 60 days as a cutoff for meeting the available criterion. Property taxes are considered “measurable” when levied and available when collected and held by Salt Lake County. Any amounts not available are recorded as delayed revenue. Franchise taxes are considered “measurable” when collected and held by the utility company, and are recognized as revenue at that time. Other revenues that are determined to be susceptible to accrual include grants-in-aid earned and other intergovernmental revenues, charges for services, interest, assessments, interfund service charges, and proceeds of the sale of property. Property taxes and assessments are recorded as receivables when assessed; however, they are reported as delayed revenue until the “available” criterion has been met. Sales and use taxes collected by the State and remitted to the City within the “available” time period are recognized as revenue. Revenues collected in advance are delayed and recognized in the period to which they apply. In proprietary funds, revenues and expenses are recognized using the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized in the accounting period in which they are earned and become measurable and expenses are recognized in the period incurred. Financial Controls The City utilizes a computerized financial accounting system, which includes a system of budgetary controls. State law requires budgets to be controlled by individual departments, but the City also maintains computerized control by major categories within departments. These computerized controls are such that a requisition cannot be entered into the purchasing system unless the appropriated funds are available. The system checks for sufficient funds again, prior to the purchase order being issued, and again before the payment check is issued. Voucher payments are also controlled by the computer for sufficient appropriations. Budget and Appropriation Process The budget and appropriation process of the City is governed by the Uniform Fiscal Procedures Act for Utah Cities, Title 10, Chapter 6, of the Utah Code (the “Fiscal Procedures Act”). Pursuant to the Fiscal Procedures Act, the budget officer of the City is required to prepare budgets for the General Fund, Special Revenue Funds, Debt Service 36 4867-1497-0902, v. 3 Funds and Capital Improvement Fund. These budgets are to provide a complete financial plan for the budget (ensuing fiscal) year. Each budget is required to specify, in tabular form, estimates of anticipated revenues and appropriations for expenditures. Under the Fiscal Procedures Act, the total of anticipated revenues must equal the total of appropriated expenditures. On or before the first regular meeting of the City Council in May of each year, the budget officer is required to submit to the City Council tentative budgets for all funds for the fiscal year commencing July 1. Various actual and estimated budget data are required to be set forth in the tentative budgets. The budget officer may revise the budget request submitted by the heads of City departments, but must file these submissions with the City Council together with the tentative budget. The budget officer is required to estimate in the tentative budget the revenue from nonproperty tax sources available for each fund and the revenue from general property taxes required by each fund. The tentative budget is then provisionally adopted by the City Council, with any amendments or revisions that the City Council deems advisable prior to the public hearings on the tentative budget. After public notice and hearing, the tentative budget is adopted by the City Council, subject to further amendment or revisions by the City Council prior to adoption of the final budget. Prior to June 30th of each year, the final budgets for all funds are adopted by the City Council. The Fiscal Procedures Act prohibits the City Council from making any appropriation in the final budget of any fund in excess of the estimated expendable revenue of such fund. The adopted final budget is subject to amendment by the City Council during the fiscal year. However, in order to increase the budget total of any fund, public notice and hearing must be provided. Intra- and inter-department transfers of appropriation balances are permitted upon compliance with the Fiscal Procedures Act. The amount set forth in the final budget as the total amount of estimated revenue from property taxes constitutes the basis for determining the property tax levy to be set by the City Council for the succeeding tax year. Insurance Coverage The City is largely self-insured for general liability exposures, except for liability incurred on premises owned, rented, or occupied by the Department of Airports (the “Airport”). The City carries Commercial Excess Liability Insurance with $1,000,000 self-insured retention per occurrence. Limits of coverage are as follows: $2,000,000 per occurrence general liability; $4,000,000 general aggregate; $2,000,000 combined single limit commercial auto liability; $2,000,000 public officials and employment practices liability; and $2,000,000 law enforcement liability.

The Airport carries Commercial General Liability insurance with a $500,000,000 policy limit and no deductible. The Governmental Immunity Fund (an internal service fund) has been established to pay liability claims other than those covered by the Airport policy, along with certain litigation expenses. The City carries an all risk property insurance policy (the “Policy”) with a $500,000,000 aggregate limit and a $100,000 deductible, except for earthquake, which carries a 1% deductible per location, and flood, which carries a $250,000 or $500,000 deductible, depending on location.

The Airport is covered by a separate all risk property insurance policy with a $1,000,000,000 limit, subject to sub-limits and a $100,000 deductible. Locations covered include Salt Lake City International Airport, South Valley Regional Airport, and Tooele Valley Airport. Boiler and machinery carry a deductible of $100,000. Flood carries a sub-limit of $150,000,000 and Earth movement carries sub-limit of $100,000,000 with a 2% deductible per unit, subject to a $100,000 minimum and $5,000,000 maximum in any one occurrence (defined as a 168-hour period).

The City also has a government crime policy covering (1) employee theft with a $1,000,000 limit and $20,000 deductible; (2) forgery or alteration with a $25,000 limit and $1,000 deductible; (3) theft of money and securities with a $50,000 limit and $2,500 deductible; (4) robbery or safe burglary with a $50,000 limit and $2,500 deductible; (5) money orders and counterfeit money with a $50,000 limit and $2,500 deductible; and (6) computer fraud and funds transfer fraud, each carrying $1,000,000 limits and $20,000 deductibles. The City purchases excess workers’ compensation insurance with a $30,000,000 limit and a $750,000 self- insured retention per occurrence. The City is self-insured for losses above the limits and below the deductibles. Further, the City is self-insured for unemployment. The Risk Management Fund (an internal service fund) has been established to pay these claims along with health insurance premiums and certain administrative expenses. During the past three fiscal years, there have been no settlements that exceeded the self-insured retentions. Investment Policy City Policy. It is the policy of the City to invest public funds in accordance with the principles of sound treasury management and in compliance with State and local laws, regulations, and other policies governing the investment of public funds, specifically, according to the terms and conditions of the State Money Management Act, Title 51, Chapter 7 of the Utah Code (the “Money Management Act”) and Rules of the State Money Management Council as currently amended, and the City’s own written investment policy. The following investment objectives, in order of priority, are met when investing public funds: safety of principal, need for liquidity, and maximum yield on investments consistent with the first two objectives. The City may use investment advisers to conduct investment transactions on its behalf as permitted by the Money Management Act and local ordinance or policy. Investment advisers must be certified by the Director of the Utah State Division of Securities of the Department of Commerce (the “Director”). Broker/dealers and agents who desire to become certified dealers must be certified by the Director and meet the requirements of the Money Management Act. Only qualified depositories as certified by Utah’s Commissioner of Financial Institutions are eligible to receive and hold deposits of public funds. The State Money Management Council issues a quarterly list of certified investment advisers, certified dealers, and qualified depositories authorized by State statute to conduct transactions with public treasurers. Transactions involving authorized deposits or investments of public funds may be conducted only through issuers of securities authorized by Section 51-7-11(3) of the Utah Code, qualified depositories included in the current State list, and certified dealers included in the current State list. The City Treasurer must take delivery of all investments purchased, including those purchased through a certified investment adviser. This may be accomplished by the City Treasurer taking physical delivery of the security or delivering the security to a bank or trust company designated by the City Treasurer for safekeeping. The City Treasurer may use a qualified depository bank for safekeeping securities or maintain an account with a money center bank for the purpose of settling investment transactions and safekeeping and collecting those investments. City policy provides that not more than 25% of total City funds or 25% of the qualified depository’s allotment, whichever is less, can be invested in any one qualified depository. Not more than 20% of total City funds may be invested in any one certified out-of-state depository institution. However, there is no limitation placed on the amount invested with the Utah Public Treasurer’s Investment Fund (“PTIF”) and other money market mutual funds, provided that the overall standards of investments achieve the City’s policy objectives. All funds pledged or otherwise dedicated to the payment of interest on and principal of bonds or notes issued by the City are invested in accordance with the terms and borrowing instruments applicable to such bonds or notes. City policy also provides that the remaining term to maturity of an investment may not exceed the period of availability of the funds invested. The investment of City funds cannot be of a speculative nature. The City’s entire portfolio is currently in compliance with all of the provisions of the Money Management Act. The Utah Public Treasurers’ Investment Fund. The PTIF is a local government investment fund, established in 1981, and managed by the State Treasurer. Generally, a substantial portion of the City’s funds are on deposit in the PTIF (currently approximately $680 million). All investments in the PTIF must comply with the Money Management 38 4867-1497-0902, v. 3 Act and rules of the State Money Management Council. The PTIF invests primarily in money market securities. Securities in the PTIF include certificates of deposit, commercial paper, short-term corporate notes, obligations of the U.S. Treasury and securities of certain agencies of the federal government. By policy, the maximum weighted average adjusted life of the portfolio is not to exceed 90 days and the maximum final maturity of any security purchased by the PTIF is limited to five years. Safekeeping and audit controls for all investments owned by the PTIF must comply with the Money Management Act. All securities purchased are delivered versus payment to the custody of the State Treasurer or the State Treasurer’s safekeeping bank, assuring a perfected interest in the securities. Securities owned by the PTIF are completely segregated from securities owned by the State. The State has no claim on assets owned by the PTIF except for any investment of State moneys in the PTIF. Deposits are not insured or otherwise guaranteed by the State. Investment activity of the State Treasurer in the management of the PTIF is reviewed monthly by the State Money Management Council and is audited by the State Auditor. The information in this section concerning the current status of the PTIF has been obtained from sources the City believes to be reliable, but the City takes no responsibility for the accuracy thereof. INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS Series 2022 Bonds are Limited Obligations The Series 2022 Bonds are special limited obligations of the City, payable solely from the Revenues, moneys, securities and funds pledged therefor in the Indenture. The Revenues consist of the revenues, fees and other income received by the City from the operation of the System. See “SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT FOR THE BONDS—General” herein. The Series 2022 Bonds do not constitute a general obligation indebtedness nor are they secured by a pledge of the ad valorem taxing power or the full faith and credit of the City, and are not obligations of the State or any other agency or other political subdivision or entity of the State. The City will not mortgage or grant any security interest in the improvements financed with the proceeds of the Series 2022 Bonds or any portion thereof to secure payment of the Series 2022 Bonds. Potential Impact of the Coronavirus [To be updated] The recent outbreak of the novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) and its spread, which has been designated a global pandemic by the World Health Organization, is negatively impacting local, state and global economies, as governments, businesses, and citizens react to, plan for, and try to prevent or slow further transmission of the virus. Financial markets, including the stock markets in the United States and globally, have seen significant recent volatility and declines that have been attributed to COVID-19 concerns. On March 6, 2020, as part of the State’s response to address the global disease outbreak, the Governor declared a state of emergency. On March 13, 2020, a national emergency was declared. The City declared a state of local emergency on March 11, 2020. Since then, the City has slowly loosened restrictions but continues to be on an “orange” (moderate risk) phase of response to COVID- 19, while the rest of the State has moved to the “yellow” (low risk) or “green” (new normal) phases, as further described on the State’s Health Guidance System on the State’s website. See “THE CITY–Recent Developments– COVID-19” for additional information. The Department’s continuity of operations and service level have not been materially impacted. The Department’s continuity of operations during the pandemic include a myriad of actions to (1) protect public health; (2) protect employees; and (3) continue all essential functions. It should be noted that as of June 23, 2020, the Department has not had any reported cases of employees who tested positive for COVID-19. The Department has addressed the COVID-19 pandemic in a multifaceted manner and has developed plans not only for reopening, but also for phasing through different risk levels as the pandemic evolves. It is assumed that as the pandemic continues to evolve, the risk levels will move between higher, moderate, and lower risks in both 39 4867-1497-0902, v. 3 directions. The Department has developed a flexible plan to more easily adapt to the different risk phases over time. Examples of other actions taken include: • Identification of all essential functions and positions; • Provision of personal protective equipment (PPE) and policies and training for implementing PPE; • Staggered work shifts; • Closure of public buildings to the general public; • Phone and online bill-pay, with exceptions for customers that must pay in cash; • All work functions that can be done remotely are done so (about 25% of the Department’s workforce is working remotely); • Provision of pandemic leave for those who are ill, taking care of a sick person, or taking care of children who do not have childcare; • Development of pandemic-specific human resource policies to protect employees and public health; and • Development of automated workflows for contracts, agreements, procurement, and invoice processing. Net Revenue collections and the ability of the City to make debt service payments on the Series 2022 Bonds may be materially adversely affected by the continued spread of COVID-19. Neither the City nor the Department, however, can predict the effect the continued spread of COVID-19 will have on the finances or operations of the City or the System. The Net Revenues pledged to pay System operating expenses and debt service on the Series 2022 Bonds could be negatively impacted if, for example, the customers of the System become unable to pay the amounts billed for use of the System. The Series 2022 Bonds will not constitute an obligation or indebtedness or pledge of the general credit of the City within the meaning or application of any constitutional, charter or statutory limitation or provision, and the owners of the Series 2022 Bonds will never have the right to compel any exercise of the taxing power of the City or to demand payment of the Series 2022 Bonds or interest thereon out of any funds other than from the Net Revenues. See “SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT FOR THE SERIES 2022 BONDS.” Climate Change Climate change caused by human activities may have adverse effects on the System and on the Water Utility in particular. As greenhouse gas emissions continue to accumulate in the atmosphere as a result of economic activity, climate change is expected to intensify, increasing the frequency, severity and timing of extreme weather events such as coastal storm surges, drought, wildfires, floods and heat waves, and raising sea levels. The future fiscal impact of climate change on the System is difficult to predict, but it could be significant and it could have a material adverse effect on the City’s finances by requiring greater expenditures to counteract the effects of climate change or by changing the business and activities of City customers. The City considers the potential effects of climate change in its planning. The Department anticipates and plans for climate change impacts in several ways. The most recent water supply and demand plan includes consideration of impacts to water supply availability and water demand changes in the long-range projections. This informs water resource management, including water conservation goals. A watershed management plan is being updated to include climate change impacts to vegetation and wildfire risk in source water areas. An update to the Department’s stormwater management plan is also ongoing, including consideration of storm intensification impacts to flood risk. The Department has also contracted with the University of Utah to conduct an iterative assessment of localized climate data, projected impacts, and adaptation measures. This information is used to guide short- and long-term decisions regarding water resources, capital investments, and planning. The Department is additionally addressing its role in greenhouse gas mitigation. A renewable energy plan and wire to water efficiency study were developed to inform capital and operational decisions to reduce the Department’s own operational greenhouse gas emissions. Cybersecurity The risk of cyberattacks against commercial enterprises, including those operated for a governmental purpose, has become more prevalent in recent years. At least one of the rating agencies factors the risk of such an attack into its ratings analysis, recognizing that a cyberattack could affect liquidity, public policy and constituent 40 4867-1497-0902, v. 3 confidence, and ultimately credit quality. A cyberattack could cause the informational systems of the Department and the City to be compromised and could limit operational capacity, for short or extended lengths of time and could bring about the release of sensitive and private information. Additionally, other potential negative consequences include data loss or compromise, diversion of resources to prevent future incidences and reputational damage. To date, the City has not been the subject of a successful cyberattack. The City believes it has made all reasonable efforts to ensure that any such attack is not successful and that the information systems of the City are secure. However, there can be no assurance that a cyberattack will not occur in a manner resulting in damage to the City’s information systems or other challenges. The City has insurance coverage for cyber liability. See “FINANCIAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE CITY–Insurance Coverage” herein. TAX MATTERS The following is a summary of the material federal and State of Utah income tax consequences of holding and disposing of the Series 2022 Bonds. This summary is based upon laws, regulations, rulings and judicial decisions now in effect, all of which are subject to change (possibly on a retroactive basis). This summary does not discuss all aspects of federal income taxation that may be relevant to investors in light of their personal investment circumstances or describe the tax consequences to certain types of owners subject to special treatment under the federal income tax laws (for example, dealers in securities or other persons who do not hold the Series 2022 Bonds as a capital asset, tax- exempt organizations, individual retirement accounts and other tax deferred accounts, and foreign taxpayers), and, except for the income tax laws of the State of Utah, does not discuss the consequences to an owner under any state, local or foreign tax laws. The summary does not deal with the tax treatment of persons who purchase the Series 2022 Bonds in the secondary market. Prospective investors are advised to consult their own tax advisors regarding federal, state, local and other tax considerations of holding and disposing of the Series 2022 Bonds. Opinion of Bond Counsel In the opinion of Gilmore & Bell, P.C., Bond Counsel to the City, under the law existing as of the issue date of the Series 2022 Bonds: Federal Tax Exemption. The interest on the Series 2022 Bonds (including any original issue discount properly allocable to an owner thereof) is excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes. Alternative Minimum Tax. Interest on the Series 2022 Bonds is not an item of tax preference for purposes of computing the federal alternative minimum tax. State of Utah Tax Exemption. The interest on the Series 2022 Bonds (including any original issue discount properly allocable to an owner thereof) is exempt from State of Utah individual income taxes. Bond Counsel is expressing no opinion regarding other federal, state or local tax consequences arising with respect to the Series 2022 Bonds but has reviewed the discussion under the heading “TAX MATTERS.” Other Tax Consequences [Original Issue Discount. For federal income tax purposes, original issue discount is the excess of the stated redemption price at maturity of a Series 2022 Bond over its issue price. The stated redemption price at maturity of a Series 2022 Bond is the sum of all payments on the Series 2022 Bond other than “qualified stated interest” (i.e., interest unconditionally payable at least annually at a single fixed rate). The issue price of a Series 2022 Bond is generally the first price at which a substantial amount of the Series 2022 Bonds of that maturity have been sold to the public. Under Section 1288 of the Code, original issue discount on tax-exempt bonds accrues on a compound basis. The amount of original issue discount that accrues to an owner of a Series 2022 Bond during any accrual period generally equals (1) the issue price of that Series 2022 Bond, plus the amount of original issue discount accrued in all prior accrual periods, multiplied by (2) the yield to maturity on that Series 2022 Bond (determined on the basis of compounding at the close of each accrual period and properly adjusted for the length of the accrual period), minus (3) any interest payable on that Series 2022 Bond during that accrual period. The amount of original issue discount accrued in a particular accrual period will be considered to be received ratably on each day of the accrual period, will 41 4867-1497-0902, v. 3 be excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes, and will increase the owner’s tax basis in that Series 2022 Bond. Prospective investors should consult their own tax advisors concerning the calculation and accrual of original issue discount.] [Original Issue Premium. For federal income tax purposes, premium is the excess of the issue price of a Series 2022 Bond over its stated redemption price at maturity. The stated redemption price at maturity of a Series 2022 Bond is the sum of all payments on the Series 2022 Bond other than “qualified stated interest” (i.e., interest unconditionally payable at least annually at a single fixed rate). The issue price of a Series 2022 Bond is generally the first price at which a substantial amount of the Series 2022 Bonds of that maturity have been sold to the public. Under Section 171 of the Code, premium on tax-exempt bonds amortizes over the term of the Series 2022 Bond using constant yield principles, based on the purchaser’s yield to maturity. As premium is amortized, the owner’s basis in the Series 2022 Bond and the amount of tax-exempt interest received will be reduced by the amount of amortizable premium properly allocable to the owner, which will result in an increase in the gain (or decrease in the loss) to be recognized for federal income tax purposes on sale or disposition of the Series 2022 Bond prior to its maturity. Even though the owner’s basis is reduced, no federal income tax deduction is allowed. Prospective investors should consult their own tax advisors concerning the calculation and accrual of bond premium.] Sale, Exchange, or Retirement of Series 2022 Bonds. Upon the sale, exchange, or retirement (including redemption) of a Series 2022 Bond, an owner of the Series 2022 Bond generally will recognize gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the amount of cash and the fair market value of any property actually or constructively received on the sale, exchange, or retirement of the Series 2022 Bond (other than in respect of accrued and unpaid interest) and such owner’s adjusted tax basis in the Series 2022 Bond. To the extent a Series 2022 Bond is held as a capital asset, such gain or loss will be capital gain or loss and will be long-term capital gain or loss if the Series 2022 Bond has been held for more than 12 months at the time of sale, exchange or retirement. Reporting Requirements. In general, information reporting requirements will apply to certain payments of principal, interest and premium paid on the Series 2022 Bonds, and to the proceeds paid on the sale of the Series 2022 Bonds, other than certain exempt recipients (such as corporations and foreign entities). A backup withholding tax will apply to such payments if the owner fails to provide a taxpayer identification number or certification of foreign or other exempt status or fails to report in full dividend and interest income. The amount of any backup withholding from a payment to an owner will be allowed as a credit against the owner’s federal income tax liability. Collateral Federal Income Tax Consequences. Prospective purchasers of the Series 2022 Bonds should be aware that ownership of the Series 2022 Bonds may result in collateral federal income tax consequences to certain taxpayers, including, without limitation, financial institutions, property and casualty insurance companies, individual recipients of Social Security or Railroad Retirement benefits, certain S corporations with “excess net passive income,” foreign corporations subject to the branch profits tax, life insurance companies, and taxpayers who may be deemed to have incurred or continued indebtedness to purchase or carry or have paid or incurred certain expenses allocable to the Series 2022 Bonds. Bond Counsel expresses no opinion regarding these tax consequences. Purchasers of Series 2022 Bonds should consult their tax advisors as to the applicability of these tax consequences and other federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of the Series 2022 Bonds, including the possible application of state, local, foreign and other tax laws. LEGAL MATTERS Litigation The City Attorney reports the following matters involving potential financial liability of the City: Lawsuits are periodically filed against the City and/or its employees, involving tort and civil rights matters. The City has a statutory obligation to defend and indemnify its officers and employees in relation to lawsuits arising from acts or failures to act of the officers or employees while in the scope and course of employment. 42 4867-1497-0902, v. 3 The City maintains a governmental immunity fund for claims against the City. In the event the fund is not sufficient to pay any outstanding judgment or judgments, the City has the ability under State law to levy a limited ad valorem tax to pay such judgments. This tax levy is separate and apart from the other taxing powers of the City. The City also has contract claims, condemnation proceedings and environmental matters, none of which is expected to materially adversely affect the City’s financial condition. A non-litigation certificate or opinion executed by the City Attorney, dated the date of closing, will be provided stating, among other things, that to the best of her knowledge, after due inquiry, no litigation, with merit, in the State or federal court has been served on the City or is, to the best of her knowledge, threatened, challenging the creation, organization or existence of the City, or the titles of its officers to their respective offices, or seeking to restrain or enjoin the issuance, sale or delivery of the Series 2022 Bonds, or for the purpose of restraining or enjoining the levy and collection of taxes or assessments by the City, or directly or indirectly contesting or affecting the proceedings or the authority by which the Series 2022 Bonds are issued, the legality of the purpose for which the Series 2022 Bonds are issued, or the validity of the Series 2022 Bonds, or the issuance thereof. Approval of Legal Proceedings The authorization and issuance of the Series 2022 Bonds are subject to the approval of Gilmore & Bell, P.C., Bond Counsel. Certain legal matters will be passed upon for the City by the City Attorney. The approving opinion of Bond Counsel will be delivered with the Series 2022 Bonds. A copy of the opinion of Bond Counsel in substantially the form set forth in APPENDIX D of this Official Statement will be made available upon request from the contact persons as indicated under “INTRODUCTION—Contact Persons.” CONTINUING DISCLOSURE UNDERTAKING The City will undertake for the benefit of the Bondholders and the beneficial owners of the Series 2022 Bonds to provide certain annual financial information and operating data and notice of certain material events to the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board, all in order to assist the Underwriters in complying with Rule 15c2-12(b)(5) of the Securities and Exchange Commission. See “APPENDIX F” attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference for a form of the Continuing Disclosure Undertaking (the “Disclosure Undertaking”) that will be executed and delivered by the City. The City has entered into a number of continuing disclosure undertakings pursuant to the Rule with respect to the bonds it has issued and has contracted with a number of dissemination agents to file annual information and notices of certain events on behalf of the City. In the previous five years the City provided its annual financial information and audited financial statements to the applicable dissemination agent in advance of the deadline specified in the applicable continuing disclosure undertaking. Dissemination agents for certain of the City’s bonds filed such information late; however, the information was filed within 10 days of the deadline. Additionally, with respect to certain water and sewer bonds, during the previous five years the City filed the audited financial statements of the City’s utilities system, but did not include the audited financial statements of the City. Corrective filings have been made and the City has taken steps to ensure that in the future the City’s audited financial statements will be filed for such water and sewer revenue bonds as required. At the time of the initial corrective filings the City determined that such filings were immaterial with respect to certain maturities of the water and sewer revenue bonds that had already matured, and corrective filing were not made for such maturities. In connection with a prior purchase of certain of the City’s general obligation bonds, the purchaser requested that corrective filings be made for such previously matured water and sewer revenue bonds. The City complied with such request despite having determined that such filings were not material. A failure by the City to comply with the Disclosure Undertaking will not constitute a default under the Indenture and Beneficial Owners of the Series 2022 Bonds are limited to the remedies described in the Disclosure Undertaking. A failure by the City to comply with the Disclosure Undertaking must be reported in accordance with the Rule and must be considered by any broker, dealer or municipal securities dealer before recommending the 43 4867-1497-0902, v. 3 purchase or sale of the Series 2022 Bonds in the secondary market. Consequently, such a failure may adversely affect the transferability and liquidity of the Series 2022 Bonds and their market price. See the FORM OF CONTINUING DISCLOSURE UNDERTAKING attached hereto as APPENDIX F for the information to be provided, the events which will be noticed on an occurrence basis and the other terms of the Disclosure Undertaking, including termination, amendment and remedies. UNDERWRITING [Underwriters], as the underwriters of the Series 2022 Bonds (the “Underwriters”), have agreed, subject to certain conditions, to purchase all of the Series 2022 Bonds from the City at an aggregate price of $__________ (which consists of the principal amount of the Series 2022 Bonds, plus [net] original issue premium of $__________ and less an Underwriters’ discount of $__________). The Underwriters have advised the City that the Series 2022 Bonds may be offered and sold to certain dealers (including dealers depositing the Series 2022 Bonds into investment trusts) at prices lower than the initial public offering prices set forth on the inside front cover page of the Official Statement and that such public offering prices may be changed from time to time. The Underwriters and their respective affiliates are full-service financial institutions engaged in various activities that may include securities trading, commercial and investment banking, municipal advisory, brokerage, and asset management.

BOND RATINGS S&P Global Ratings (“S&P”) and Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) have assigned municipal bond ratings of “___” and “___,” respectively, to the Series 2022 Bonds. Any explanation of the significance of such ratings may only be obtained from the rating service furnishing the same. There is no assurance that the ratings given will be maintained for any period of time or that the ratings will not be revised downward or withdrawn entirely by the rating agency if, in its judgment, circumstances so warrant. Any such downward revision or withdrawal of such rating may have an adverse effect on the market price of such outstanding obligations. MUNICIPAL ADVISOR The City has entered into an agreement with Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated (the “Municipal Advisor”) whereunder the Municipal Advisor provides financial recommendations and guidance to the City with respect to preparation for sale of the Series 2022 Bonds, timing of the sale, bond market conditions, costs of issuance and other factors related to the sale of the Series 2022 Bonds.

(B) Into the Renewal and Replacement Fund: (i) if the Renewal and Replacement Fund Reserve Requirement shall ever be increased in accordance with the Indenture, the amount specified in a Written Certificate of the City identifying a schedule of sixty (60) approximately equal monthly deposits into the Renewal and Replacement Fund sufficient to cause the balance in the Renewal and Replacement Fund to equal the increased Renewal and Replacement Fund Reserve Requirement as required in the Indenture; and (ii) if moneys shall ever have been paid out of the Renewal and Replacement Fund and shall not have been replaced from any source, the amount of money necessary, in not to exceed one hundred twenty (120) approximately equal monthly installments, to cause the amount so paid out of the Renewal and Replacement Fund to be replaced, or to cause to be on deposit in the Renewal and Replacement Fund an amount equal to the Renewal and Replacement Fund Reserve Requirement, whichever is less; provided, however, that so long as there shall be held in the Principal and Interest Fund, excluding any Reserve Instrument Coverage, an amount sufficient to pay in full all Outstanding Bonds and all outstanding Repayment Obligations in accordance with their terms (including Principal or applicable sinking fund Redemption Price and interest thereon), no deposits shall be required to be made into the Principal and Interest Fund. (b) Amounts remaining in the Revenue Fund at the end of each month after payment of the amounts required by subsection (a) of this Section may be applied by the City, free and clear of the lien of the Indenture, to any one or more of the following, to the extent permitted by law: (1) the purchase or redemption of any Bonds and payment of expenses in connection therewith; (2) payments of principal or redemption price of and interest on any bonds, including general obligation or junior lien revenue bonds of the City, issued to acquire improvements or extensions to the System; (3) payments into any Project Account or Accounts established in the Construction Fund for application to the purposes of such Accounts; (4) payment of the costs of capital improvements to the System; and (5) any other lawful purpose of the City. (c) Upon any purchase or redemption, pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section, of Bonds of any Series and maturity for which Sinking Fund Installments shall have been established, the principal amount of such Bonds shall be credited toward such Sinking Fund Installments in such order of their due dates as directed by the City, unless the City shall elect to have the Sinking Fund Installments next due credited as provided in the Indenture. Principal and Interest Fund - Bond Service Account (a) Each Supplemental Indenture providing for the issuance of a Series of Bonds shall establish a separate Series Subaccount in the Bond Service Account for each such Series of Bonds issued provided, however, that such a separate Series Subaccount need not be established in the Principal and Interest Fund for a Series of Bonds if such Series of Bonds is secured by Series Subaccount in the Debt Service Reserve Account that also secures one or more other Series of Bonds as contemplated by the Indenture (in which case the Supplemental Indenture may provide for the payment of principal and interest on such Series of Bonds from the same Series Subaccount in the Principal and Interest Fund as the principal and interest on such other Series of Bonds are payable from). There shall be deposited into each Series Subaccount the amounts required to be so deposited pursuant to the Indenture. Any payments made by a Security Instrument Issuer with respect to a Series of Bonds shall be deposited into the Series B-18 4867-1497-0902, v. 3 Subaccount in the Bond Service Account relating to such Series of Bonds, subject to the provisions of the Supplemental Indenture authorizing the issuance of such Series of Bonds. (b) The Trustee shall pay out of the appropriate Series Subaccount in the Bond Service Account to the respective Paying Agent (1) on or before each interest payment date for each Series of Bonds, the amount required for the interest payable on such date; (2) on or before each Principal Installment due date, the amount required for the Principal Installment payable on such due date; and (3) on or before any redemption date for each Series of Bonds, the amount required for the payment of Redemption Price of and accrued interest on such Bonds then to be redeemed.

The Trustee shall pay out of the appropriate Series Subaccount in the Bond Service Account to the Security Instrument Issuer, if any, that has issued a Security Instrument with respect to such Series of Bonds an amount equal to any Security Instrument Repayment Obligation then due and payable to such Security Instrument Issuer. If payment is so made on Pledged Bonds held for the benefit of the Security Instrument Issuer, a corresponding payment on the Security Instrument Repayment Obligation shall be deemed to have been made (without requiring an additional payment by the City) and the Trustee shall keep its records accordingly. (c) Except as otherwise provided in a Supplemental Indenture authorizing a Series of Bonds, amounts accumulated in any Series Subaccount in the Bond Service Account with respect to any Sinking Fund Installment (together with amounts accumulated therein with respect to interest on the Bonds for which such Sinking Fund Installment was established) shall, if so directed by the City in a Written Request not less than 30 days before the due date of such Sinking Fund Installment, be applied by the Trustee to (1) the purchase of Bonds of the Series and maturity for which such Sinking Fund Installment was established, (2) the redemption at the applicable sinking fund Redemption Price of such Bonds, if then redeemable by their terms, or (3) any combination of (1) and (2). All purchases of any Bonds pursuant to this subsection (c) shall be made at prices not exceeding the applicable sinking fund Redemption Price of such Bonds plus accrued interest, and such purchases shall be made in such manner as the City shall direct the Trustee. The applicable sinking fund Redemption Price (or Principal amount of maturing Bonds) of any Bonds so purchased or redeemed shall be deemed to constitute part of the Bond Service Account until such Sinking Fund Installment date for the purpose of calculating the amount of such Account. As soon as practicable after the 60th day preceding the due date of any such Sinking Fund Installment, the Trustee shall proceed to call for redemption on such due date, by giving notice as required by the Indenture, Bonds of the Series and maturity for which such Sinking Fund Installment was established (except in the case of Bonds maturing on a Sinking Fund Installment date) in such amount as shall be necessary to complete the retirement of the unsatisfied balance of such Sinking Fund Installment. The Trustee shall pay out of the appropriate Series Subaccount in the Bond Service Account to the appropriate Paying Agents, on or before such redemption date (or maturity date), the amount required for the redemption of the Bonds so called for redemption (or for the payment of such Bonds then maturing), and such amount shall be applied by such Paying Agents to such redemption (or payment). All expenses in connection with the purchase or redemption of Bonds shall be paid by the City as an Operation and Maintenance Cost. Principal and Interest Fund - Debt Service Reserve Account (a) Each Supplemental Indenture providing for the issuance of a Series of Bonds may establish in the Debt Service Reserve Account a separate Series Subaccount for each such Series of Bonds issued and, if established, shall specify the Debt Service Reserve Requirement to be on deposit in such Series Subaccount. (b) If on the third Business Day prior to the end of any month, after the deposit of moneys required by the Indenture the amount in any Series Subaccount in the Bond Service Account shall be less than the amount required to be in such Series Subaccount, the Trustee shall (1) apply amounts from the corresponding Series Subaccount, if any, in the Debt Service Reserve Account to the extent necessary to make good the deficiency; and (2) to the extent that moneys and investments available in the corresponding Series Subaccount, if any, in the Debt Service Reserve Account are not sufficient to eliminate the deficiency in the Series Subaccount in the Bond Service Account and Reserve Instruments are in effect for the corresponding Series of Bonds, immediately make a demand for payment on all such Reserve Instruments, to the maximum extent authorized by such Reserve Instruments, in the amount necessary to make up such deficiency, and immediately deposit such payment upon receipt thereof in the appropriate Series Subaccount in the Bond Service Account. B-19 4867-1497-0902, v. 3 (c) Whenever the moneys on deposit in a Series Subaccount in the Debt Service Reserve Account, including investment earnings and Reserve Instrument Coverage with respect thereto, shall exceed the Debt Service Reserve Requirement for such Series Subaccount, such excess shall be transferred by the Trustee to the corresponding Series Subaccount in the Bond Service Account and shall be used to pay Debt Service on the related Bonds, subject to any limitations contained in the Tax Certificate relating to such Bonds. (d) Whenever the amount in a Series Subaccount in the Debt Service Reserve Account, excluding any Reserve Instrument Coverage, together with the amount in the corresponding Series Subaccount in the Bond Service Account for a Series of Bonds, is sufficient to pay in full all Outstanding Bonds of such Series and related Repayment Obligations in accordance with their terms (including Principal or applicable sinking fund Redemption Price and interest thereon), the funds on deposit in such Series Subaccount in the Debt Service Reserve Account shall be transferred to the corresponding Series Subaccount in the Bond Service Account and no deposits shall be required to be made into such Series Subaccount in the Debt Service Reserve Account. (e) Unless otherwise provided in a Supplemental Indenture authorizing a Series of Bonds, in calculating the amount on deposit in a Series Subaccount in the Debt Service Reserve Account, the amount of the Reserve Instrument Coverage for the corresponding Series of Bonds will be treated as an amount on deposit in such Series Subaccount in the Debt Service Reserve Account. So long as any Series of Bonds rated by a Rating Agency is Outstanding, the City agrees that it will not invest moneys held in a Series Subaccount in the Debt Service Reserve Account in a Reserve Instrument without providing notice of such investment to such Rating Agency. (f) Unless otherwise specified in the Supplemental Indenture authorizing a Series of Bonds, no Reserve Instrument for such Series of Bonds shall be allowed to expire unless and until cash has been deposited into the appropriate Series Subaccount in the Debt Service Reserve Account, or a new Reserve Instrument has been issued in place of the expiring Reserve Instrument, in an amount or to provide coverage at least equal to the Debt Service Reserve Requirement for the corresponding Series of Bonds. Renewal and Replacement Fund (a) The amounts in the Renewal and Replacement Fund shall, from time to time, be applied by the City to the payment of extraordinary Operation and Maintenance Costs, and contingencies, including the prevention or correction of any unusual loss or damage to the System to the extent not covered by the proceeds of insurance or other moneys recoverable as a result thereof. (b) If on the third Business Day prior to the end of any month the amount in any Series Subaccount in the Bond Service Account shall be less than the amount required to be in such Series Subaccount in the Bond Service Account pursuant to the Indenture, and there shall not be on deposit in the corresponding Series Subaccount in the Debt Service Reserve Account sufficient moneys to cure such deficiency, the Trustee shall request that the City transfer from the Renewal and Replacement Fund and deposit into such Series Subaccount in the Bond Service Account the amount necessary (or all the moneys in the Renewal and Replacement Fund, if less than the amount necessary) to make up such deficiency; provided that to the extent that such deficiencies occur in more than one Series Subaccount in the Bond Service Account and there are insufficient moneys available in the Renewal and Replacement Fund to make up such deficiencies, the amount transferred and deposited from the Renewal and Replacement Fund shall be distributed on a pro rata basis to the deficient Series Subaccounts in the Bond Service Account based on the proportion that the total funds available to remedy the total deficiency bears to the deficiency for each Series of Bonds. (c) At the end of each Fiscal Year any balance of moneys or Investment Securities in the Renewal and Replacement Fund in excess of the Renewal and Replacement Fund Reserve Requirement and not required to meet any deficiency in the Bond Service Account or needed for any of the purposes for which the Renewal and Replacement Fund was established, shall be transferred by the City and deposited into the Revenue Fund. Purchase of Bonds The City may, to the extent permitted under applicable law and covenants, including any covenants contained in any Tax Certificate, purchase Bonds of any Series from any available funds at public or private sale, as and when B-20 4867-1497-0902, v. 3 and at such prices as the City may in its discretion determine. All Bonds so purchased shall at such times as shall be selected by the City be delivered to and cancelled by the Trustee or any Registrar and shall thereafter be delivered to, or upon the order of, the City, and no Bonds shall be issued in place thereof. In the case of the purchase of Bonds of a Series and maturity for which Sinking Fund Installments shall have been established, the City shall, by a Written Request of the City delivered to the Trustee, elect the manner in which the Principal amount of such Bonds shall be credited toward Sinking Fund Installments, consistent with the procedures specified in the use of the Bond Service Account.

Against Sale or Other Disposition of Property except under Conditions The City will not sell or otherwise dispose of any property essential to the proper operation of the System or the maintenance of the Revenues, provided that this covenant shall not be construed to prevent the disposal by the City of property which in its judgment has become inexpedient to use in connection with the System when other property of equal value is substituted therefor. The City will not enter into any lease or other agreement which impairs or impedes the operation of the System or which impairs or impedes the rights of the Bondholders with respect to the Revenues. The Trustee shall have no responsibility with respect to any such leases or agreements entered into by the City.

The City shall promptly collect all charges due for System use and service supplied by it as the same become due, and shall at all times maintain and enforce its rights against any person who does not pay such charges. To the extent permitted by law the City will bill each customer receiving water, sewer, stormwater, street lighting and other public utilities services included in the System in a single bill, will refuse to accept payment for any of such services unless payment for the other services is also made, and if payment for any of such service is permitted to become delinquent and remain so for the period established by the City, will, if practicable, discontinue the service of water to any premises the owner, tenant or occupant of which shall be so delinquent, and will not recommence the supply of water to such premises until all delinquent charges with penalties shall have been paid in full. This paragraph shall not be construed as requiring the City to refuse partial payment of any bill for services of the System, so long as such payment is applied proportionately to charges for each of such services. (b) The City will do, execute, acknowledge and deliver, or cause to be done, executed, acknowledged and delivered, such Supplemental Indentures and such further accounts, instruments and transfers as the Trustee may reasonably require for the better assuring, pledging and confirming to the Trustee all and singular the Revenues and the other amounts pledged hereby to the payment of the principal of, Redemption Price and interest on the Bonds. The City will not sell, convey, mortgage, encumber or otherwise dispose of any part of the Revenues, except as otherwise permitted hereunder.

All payments so made shall be considered Revenues and shall be applied in the manner hereinabove provided for the application of the other Revenues. (d) The City, so far as it legally may, covenants and agrees for the protection and security of the Bonds and the Bondholders from time to time that it will not grant a franchise for the operation of any competing System in the boundaries of the City until all the Bonds shall have been retired. Observance of Laws and Regulations The City will well and truly keep, observe and perform all valid and lawful obligations or orders or regulations now or hereafter imposed on it by contract, or prescribed by any law of the United States of America or of the State, or by any officer, board or commission having jurisdiction or control, as a condition of the continued enjoyment of any and every right, privilege, license or franchise now owned or hereafter acquired by the City, including its right to exist and carry on business, to the end that such rights, privileges, licenses and franchises shall be maintained and preserved, and shall not become abandoned, forfeited or in any manner impaired; provided, however, that the City shall not be required to comply with any such orders so long as the validity or application thereof shall be contested in good faith. B-22 4867-1497-0902, v. 3 Payment of Taxes and Claims The City will, from time to time, duly pay and discharge, or cause to be paid and discharged, any taxes, assessments or other governmental charges lawfully imposed upon any of the properties of the System or upon the Revenues, when the same shall become due, and will duly observe and conform to all valid requirements of any governmental authority relative to any such properties. The City will keep the System and all parts thereof free from judgments, mechanics’ and materialmen’s liens (except those arising by mere operation of law from the construction of any Project and other improvements of the System which are paid in due course) and free from all other liens, claims, demands and encumbrances of whatsoever prior nature or character, to the end that the priority of the lien of the Indenture on the Revenues may at all times be maintained and preserved, and be free from any claim or liability which might embarrass or hamper the City in conducting its business. Insurance Subject in each case to the condition that insurance is obtainable at reasonable rates and upon reasonable terms and conditions: (a) The City will procure and maintain, or cause to be procured and maintained, at all times while any Bonds shall be Outstanding, insurance on the System and public liability insurance in such amounts and against such risks as are usually insurable in connection with similar facilities and are normally carried by municipalities engaged in the operation of similar properties, such insurance shall be maintained with responsible insurers or shall be self- insurance in the manner and to the extent authorized or permitted by law; and (b) The City will secure and maintain adequate fidelity insurance or bonds on all officers and employees handling or responsible for funds of the City related to the System. provided, however, that nothing in this Section shall be construed in such manner as to result in making the Bonds an indebtedness of the City, and if it shall ever be held by any court of competent jurisdiction that any or all of the provisions of this Section are invalid or that the enforcement of the provisions of this Section would make the Bonds invalid or unenforceable, said provisions of this Section shall be considered to be null and void. The Trustee shall have no duty to verify the insurance or to determine if such insurance is sufficient for purposes of this Section. Accounts and Reports (a) The City will at all times keep, or cause to be kept, proper books of record and accounts, separate and apart from all other records and accounts of the City, in which complete and accurate entries shall be made of all transactions relating to the System and the Revenues. Such books of record and accounts shall at all times during business hours be subject to the inspection of the Trustee, any Security Instrument Issuer or the Holders of not less than five percent (5%) of the Bonds then Outstanding, or their representatives authorized in writing. (b) The City will place on file with the Trustee and with any Security Instrument Issuer annually within two hundred ten (210) days after the close of each Fiscal Year, so long as any Bonds are Outstanding, a financial statement in reasonable detail for the preceding Fiscal Year showing the Revenues, all expenditures from the Revenues for Operation and Maintenance Costs and other expenditures from the Revenues applicable to the System and the resulting Net Revenues available for Debt Service, together with a balance sheet in reasonable detail reflecting the financial condition of the System, including the balances of all Funds relating to the System as of the end of each Fiscal Year, which financial statement and balance sheet shall be accompanied by an Accountant’s Certificate. Each such audit, in addition to whatever matters may be thought proper by the Qualified Public Accountant to be included therein, shall include the following: (1) Comments regarding the manner in which the City has carried out the requirements of this Indenture and recommendations for any change or improvement in the accounting operations of the System. B-23 4867-1497-0902, v. 3 (2) A statement as to whether or not the Net Revenues for such Fiscal Year were equal to at least 1.25 times the aggregate Debt Service for such Fiscal Year. Simultaneously with the filing of such financial statement, there shall be filed with the Trustee and with any Security Instrument Issuer whose Security Instrument is in full force and effect with respect to any Series of Bonds Outstanding a report of indenture compliance conducted by the firm of Qualified Public Accountants which signed the Accountants’ Certificate attached to such financial statement. (c) The reports, statements and other documents required to be furnished to the Trustee pursuant to any provisions of the Indenture shall be available for inspection by Bondholders at the principal corporate trust office of the Trustee and shall be mailed to each Bondholder, investment banker, security dealer or other person interested in the Bonds, at their cost, who shall file a Written request therefor with the City. (d) The City shall file with the Trustee and with any Security Instrument Issuer: (i) forthwith upon becoming aware of any event of default under the Indenture or other default in the performance by the City of any covenant, agreement or condition contained in the Indenture, a Written Certificate of the City specifying such default; and (ii) not later than two hundred ten (210) days following the end of each Fiscal Year a Written Certificate of the City stating that, to the best of the knowledge and belief of the Authorized Officer of the City executing such Written Certificate, except for any default then existing which shall have been specified in the Written Certificate of the City referred to in (i) above, the City has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled each and every one of its covenants and obligations contained in the Indenture and there does not exist at the date of such Written Certificate any default by the City under the Indenture or other event which, with the lapse of time specified in the Indenture, would become an event of default under the Indenture, or, if any such default or event of default under the Indenture or other event shall so exist, specifying the same and the nature and status thereof. Rates and Charges (a) In order to assure full and continuous performance of the covenants contained in the Indenture with a margin for contingencies and temporary unanticipated reduction in Revenues, the City covenants and agrees to establish, fix, prescribe, continue and collect (directly or through leases, use agreements or other agreements, or licenses or ordinances) rates and charges for the sale or use of the System services furnished by the City which, together with other income, are reasonably expected to yield Net Revenues at least equal to the Rate Covenant Requirement for the forthcoming Fiscal Year. The term “Rate Covenant Requirement” shall mean an amount equal to at least (1) 125% of the Aggregate Debt Service excluding amounts payable on Repayment Obligations for the Fiscal Year, (2) 100% of the Repayment Obligations, if any, which will be due and payable during the forthcoming Fiscal Year and (3) 100% of the amounts, if any, then required by the Indenture to be deposited into the Debt Service Reserve Account during the forthcoming Fiscal Year. (b) If the annual financial statement made in accordance with the Indenture relating to Revenues discloses that during the period covered by such financial statement the Net Revenues were not at least equal to the Rate Covenant Requirement, the City shall not be in default under this Section if, within 60 days after the date of such financial statement (1) the City obtains recommendations from a Qualified Engineer as to the revision of the rates, charges and fees necessary to produce Net Revenues at least equal to the Rate Covenant Requirement and (2) the City, on the basis of such recommendations, revises the schedule of rates, charges and fees insofar as is practicable and revises Operation and Maintenance Costs so as to produce Net Revenues at least equal to the Rate Covenant Requirement. Maintenance of Paying Agents The City shall cause the Trustee to pay to the Paying Agents, to the extent of the moneys held by the Trustee for such payment, funds for the prompt payment of any Principal, Redemption Price and interest on the Bonds to be paid by such Paying Agents. B-24 4867-1497-0902, v. 3 Eminent Domain If all or any part of the System shall be taken by eminent domain proceedings or conveyance in lieu thereof, the net proceeds realized by the City therefrom shall be deposited with the Trustee in a special fund in trust and shall be applied and disbursed by the Trustee subject to the following conditions: (a) If such funds are sufficient to provide for the payment of the entire amount of Principal due or to become due upon all of the Outstanding Bonds and outstanding Repayment Obligations, together with all of the interest due or to become due thereon and any redemption premiums thereon, so as to enable the City to retire all of the Bonds then Outstanding, either by call and redemption at the then current Redemption Prices or by payment at maturity or partly by redemption prior to maturity and partly by payment at maturity, and to pay all Repayment Obligations, the Trustee shall apply such moneys to such retirement or payment, as appropriate, and to the payment of such interest. Pending the application of such proceeds for such purpose, such moneys shall be invested by the Trustee, at the Written Request of the City, in Government Obligations. The balance of such moneys, if any, shall be transferred to the City. (b) If such proceeds are insufficient to provide the moneys required for the purposes set forth in subsection (a) of this Section, the City shall file with the Trustee a Written Request of the City requesting the Trustee to apply such proceeds for one of the following purposes: (1) If such Written Request requests the Trustee to apply such proceeds to the purchase, redemption or retirement of Bonds, the Trustee shall apply such proceeds to the purchase, redemption or retirement of Bonds then Outstanding and Repayment Obligations then outstanding. If more than one Series of Bonds is then Outstanding, such proceeds shall be applied pro rata among each such Series to the purchase, redemption or retirement of the Bonds of each such Series and the payment of Repayment Obligations in the proportion which the Principal amount of Bonds of each such Series then Outstanding and Repayment Obligations then outstanding bears to the aggregate Principal amount of all Bonds then Outstanding and Repayment Obligations then outstanding. Pending the application of such proceeds for such purpose, such moneys shall be invested by the Trustee, at the Written Request of the City, in Government Obligations. (2) If such Written Request requests the Trustee to deliver such proceeds to the City to apply to the cost of additions, improvements or extensions to the System, the City shall also file with the Trustee an Engineer’s Certificate showing the loss in annual Revenues if any, suffered, or to be suffered, by the City by reason of such eminent domain proceedings, together with a general description of the additions, improvements or extensions to the System then proposed to be acquired or constructed by the City from such proceeds. If, in the opinion of the City (evidenced by a Written Certificate of the City filed with the Trustee), which shall be final, the additional Revenues to be derived from such additions or improvements will sufficiently offset the loss of Revenues resulting from such eminent domain proceedings so that the ability of the City to meet its obligations hereunder will not be substantially impaired, the Trustee shall pay such proceeds to the City. The City, in reaching such determination, may rely upon the Engineer’s Certificate. The City shall hold such proceeds in trust and apply them to the acquisition or construction of the additions, improvements or extensions substantially in accordance with such Engineer’s Certificate. The City shall acquire or construct such additions or improvements in a sound and economic manner and as expeditiously as is practicable. Any balance of such proceeds not required by the City for such additions, improvements or extensions shall be deposited into the Revenue Fund. (3) If such Written Request requests the Trustee to transfer such proceeds to the City for deposit into the Revenue Fund upon the basis that such eminent domain proceedings have had no effect, or at the most a relatively immaterial effect, upon the security of the Bonds, the City shall also file with the Trustee an Engineer’s Certificate stating that such eminent domain proceedings have not substantially impaired or affected the operation of the System or the ability of the System to produce Net Revenues at least equal to the Rate Covenant Requirement. Upon receipt of such Written Request and such Engineer’s Certificate, the Trustee shall transfer such proceeds to the City for deposit into the Revenue Fund. B-25 4867-1497-0902, v. 3 Reconstruction of the System; Application of Insurance Proceeds If any useful portion of the System shall be damaged or destroyed, the City shall, as expeditiously as is practicable, continuously and diligently prosecute or cause to be prosecuted the reconstruction or replacement thereof, unless the City shall file with the Trustee an Engineer’s Certificate to the effect that such reconstruction or replacement is not in the interests of the City and the Bondholders. The proceeds of any insurance paid on account of such damage or destruction, other than business interruption loss insurance or public liability insurance, shall, if the appropriate Project Account in the Construction Fund has not been closed, be paid into the Construction Fund as provided in the Indenture, or if the Construction Fund has been closed, shall be held by the Trustee in a special account and made available for, and to the extent necessary applied to, the cost of such reconstruction or replacement, if any. Pending such application, which shall be made in accordance with the Indenture, such proceeds may be invested by the Trustee at the Written Request of the City in Investment Securities which mature not later than such times as shall be necessary to provide moneys when needed to pay such cost of reconstruction or replacement. Subject to the provisions of the Prior Lien Resolution, any balance of such proceeds of insurance not needed to pay such cost of reconstruction or replacement shall be applied in the same manner as provided in the Indenture. Compliance with Indenture The City will not issue, or permit to be issued, any Bonds in any manner other than in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture and will not suffer or permit any default to occur under the Indenture, but will faithfully observe and perform all the covenants, conditions and requirements of the Indenture. The City will make, execute and deliver any and all such further indentures, resolutions, instruments and assurances as may be reasonably necessary or proper to carry out the intention or to facilitate the performance of the Indenture, and for the better assuring and confirming unto the Holders of the Bonds, the Security Instrument Issuers and the Reserve Instrument Issuers of the rights, benefits and security provided in the Indenture. The City for itself, its successors and assigns, represents, covenants and agrees with the Holders of the Bonds, as a material inducement to the purchase of the Bonds, and with the Security Instrument Issuers and Reserve Instrument Issuers as a material inducement to the issuance of Security Instruments and Reserve Instruments, that it will faithfully perform all of the covenants and agreements contained in the Indenture and the Bonds. Power to Issue Bonds and Pledge Revenues and Other Funds The City is duly authorized under all applicable laws to create and issue the Bonds and to execute and deliver the Indenture and to pledge the Revenues and other moneys, securities and funds purported to be pledged by the Indenture in the manner and to the extent provided in the Indenture. The Bonds and the provisions of the Indenture are and will be the valid and legally enforceable obligations of the City in accordance with their terms and the terms of the Indenture. The City shall at all times, to the extent permitted by law, defend, preserve and protect the pledge of the Revenues and other moneys, securities and Funds pledged under the Indenture and all the rights of the Bondholders, the Security Instrument Issuers and the Reserve Instrument Issuers under the Indenture against all claims and demands of all persons whomsoever. Existence of City The City will maintain its corporate identity and shall make no attempt to cause its corporate existence to be abolished and shall resist all attempts by other municipalities to annex all or any part of the territory now or hereafter in the City. General (a) The City shall do and perform or cause to be done and performed all acts and things required to be done or performed by or on behalf of the City under the provisions of the Act and the Indenture. (b) Upon the date of issuance and delivery of any of the Bonds, all acts, conditions and things required by law and the Indenture to exist, to have happened and to have been performed precedent to and in connection with the issuance of such Bonds shall exist, have happened and have been performed in regular and in due time, form and B-26 4867-1497-0902, v. 3 manner as required by law and the City will have duly and regularly complied with all applicable provisions of law and will be duly authorized to issue the Bonds under the Act in the manner and upon the terms as in the Indenture provided. THE TRUSTEE Trustee (a) The City appoints U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association as the initial Trustee under the Indenture to act as the legal depositary of the City for the purpose of receiving all moneys which the City is required to pay to the Trustee under the Indenture and to hold, allocate, use and apply the same as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee accepts and agrees to execute the trusts created by the Indenture upon the terms set forth therein. The Trustee shall act as the legal depositary of the City for the purpose of receiving all moneys which the City is required to pay to the Trustee under the Indenture, and to hold, allocate, use and apply the same as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee shall also act as registrar and Transfer Agent for the Bonds, with the duties provided in the Indenture, and shall also act in accordance with the duties specified elsewhere in the Indenture. In acting as registrar and Transfer Agent, the Trustee shall be the agent of the City. (b) The Trustee may at any time resign or be discharged of its duties and obligations created by the Indenture by giving not less than 60 days’ written notice to the City, specifying the date when such resignation shall take effect, and mailing notice thereof, to the Holders of all Bonds then Outstanding, and such resignation shall take effect on the day specified in such notice unless previously a successor shall have been appointed as hereinafter provided, in which event such resignation shall take effect immediately upon the appointment of such successor; provided, however, that such resignation of the Trustee shall in no event take effect until such successor shall have been appointed and accepted the duties of Trustee. (c) The City may at any time remove the Trustee initially appointed or any successor thereto by a written direction providing for such removal, for the appointment of a successor, and for the effective date of the change of Trustee; provided, however, that such removal of the Trustee shall in no event take effect until such successor shall have been appointed and accepted the duties of Trustee by the execution of a Supplemental Indenture. A copy of such resolution shall be mailed by first class mail to the Trustee. (d) Notice of the resignation or removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor shall be mailed by first class mail to the registered Holders of all Bonds then Outstanding, the Information Services, the NRMSIRs and to each Security Instrument Issuer and Reserve Instrument Issuer then having a Security Instrument or Reserve Instrument outstanding, within 30 days after adoption by the Council of the resolution providing for such appointment. Any successor Trustee appointed by resolution adopted subsequent to the issuance of the first Series of Bonds issued hereunder shall be a bank or trust company with a capital, undivided profits and surplus of not less than $50,000,000. (e) If no successor Trustee shall have been appointed and shall have accepted appointment within 45 days of giving notice of the resignation or removal of the Trustee as aforesaid, the Trustee or any Bondholder (on behalf of himself and all other Bondholders) may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee, and such court may thereupon, after such notice (if any) as it may deem proper, appoint such successor Trustee. Paying Agents; Appointment and Acceptance of Duties; Removal The City shall appoint Paying Agents for the Bonds of each Series pursuant to Supplemental Indentures. Each Paying Agent shall signify its acceptance of the duties and obligations imposed upon it by the Indenture by executing and delivering to the City and to the Trustee a written acceptance thereof. The City may remove any Paying Agent and any successor thereto, and appoint a successor or successors thereto; provided, however, that any such Paying Agent designated by the City shall continue to be a Paying Agent of the City for the purpose of paying the Principal and Redemption Price of and interest on the Bonds until the designation of a successor as such Paying Agent. B-27 4867-1497-0902, v. 3 Each Paying Agent is authorized by the Indenture to redeem Bonds when duly presented to it for payment or redemption, which Bonds shall thereafter be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. Terms and Conditions of the Trusts Notwithstanding any other provision of the Indenture to the contrary, the Trustee shall, prior to an Event of Default, and after the curing of all Events of Default which may have occurred, perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in the Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations of the Trustee shall be read into the Indenture. Subject to the Indenture provisions described under the heading “EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND REMEDIES OF BONDHOLDERS” and paragraph (l) below, the Trustee shall, during the existence of any Event of Default (which has not been cured), exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs. The Trustee shall perform such duties, rights and powers only upon and subject to the following express terms and conditions: (a) The Trustee shall perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in the Indenture. The duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of the Indenture, and the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in the Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into the Indenture against the Trustee. (b) The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereof and perform any of its duties by or through attorneys, agents, receivers or employees but shall not be answerable for the conduct of any of the same who have been selected by it with ordinary care in accordance with the standard specified above, and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters of trusts of the Indenture and the duties thereunder, and may in all cases pay such reasonable compensation to all such attorneys, agents, receivers and employees as may reasonably be employed in connection with the trusts of the Indenture. The Trustee may act upon the opinion or advice of any attorney for the City or any other attorneys, if, in the case of such other attorneys, they are approved by the Trustee in the exercise of reasonable care. The Trustee shall not be responsible for any loss or damage resulting from any action or non-action in good faith in reliance upon such opinion or advice. The Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by any of its officers or employees unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining pertinent facts. (c) The Trustee shall not be responsible for any recital in the Indenture, or in the Bonds (except in respect to the certificate of authentication of the Trustee endorsed on the Bonds), or for the sufficiency of the security for the Bonds issued under the Indenture or intended to be secured by the Indenture, and the Trustee shall not be bound to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any covenants, conditions or agreements on the part of the City set forth in the Indenture; but the Trustee may require of the City full information and advice as to the performance of the covenants, conditions and agreements aforesaid. The Trustee shall have no obligation to perform any of the duties of the City under the Indenture. (d) The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use of any Bonds authenticated or delivered under the Indenture. The Trustee may become the owner or pledgee of Bonds secured by the Indenture with the same rights which it would have if not Trustee. To the extent permitted by law, the Trustee may also receive tenders and purchase in good faith Bonds from itself, including any department, affiliate or subsidiary, with like effect as if it were not Trustee. (e) The Trustee shall be protected in acting upon any notice, request, consent, certificate, order, affidavit, letter, telegram or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper person or persons. Any action taken by the Trustee pursuant to the Indenture, upon the request or authority or consent of any person who at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent is the owner of any Bond, shall be conclusive and binding upon all future owners of the same Bond and upon Bonds issued in exchange therefor or in place thereof. The Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of not less than a majority in Principal amount of the Bonds at the time Outstanding relating to the time, method and place of conducting any B-28 4867-1497-0902, v. 3 proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under the Indenture. (f) As to the existence or non-existence of any fact or as to the sufficiency or validity of any instrument, paper or proceeding, the Trustee shall be entitled to rely upon a Written Certificate of the City as sufficient evidence of the facts therein contained and shall also be at liberty to accept a similar Written Certificate to the effect that any particular dealing, transaction or action is necessary or expedient, but may at its discretion secure such further evidence deemed necessary or advisable, but shall in no case be bound to secure the same. The Trustee may accept a certificate of the City Recorder to the effect that a resolution in the form therein set forth has been adopted by the City as conclusive evidence that such resolution has been duly adopted, and is in full force and effect. (g) The permissive right of the Trustee to do things enumerated in the Indenture shall not be construed as a duty and it shall not be answerable for other than its gross negligence or willful default. (h) The Trustee shall not be required to take notice or be deemed to have notice of any default under the Indenture except: (1) Failure by the City to cause to be made any of the payments to the Trustee required to be made pursuant to the Indenture; (2) Failure of the City to file with the Trustee any document required by the Indenture to be so filed prior to or subsequent to the issuance of the Bonds; or (3) Any default with respect to a Security Instrument Agreement or a Reserve Instrument Agreement as to which any of the parties thereto has notified the Trustee in writing; provided that the Trustee shall be required to take notice or be deemed to have notice of any default hereunder if specifically notified in writing of such default by the Holders of not less than 10% in aggregate Principal amount of Bonds then Outstanding, by any Security Instrument Issuer or by any Reserve Instrument Issuer, and all notices or other instruments required by the Indenture to be delivered to the Trustee must, in order to be effective, be delivered at the principal corporate trust office of the Trustee and in the absence of such notice, the Trustee may conclusively assume there is no default except as aforesaid. (i) At any and all reasonable times the Trustee, and its duly authorized agents, attorneys, experts, engineers, accountants and representatives, shall have the right fully to inspect any and all books, papers and records of the City pertaining to the System and the Bonds, and to take such memoranda from and in regard thereto as may be desired. (j) The Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the execution of the said trusts and powers or otherwise in respect of the premises. (k) Notwithstanding anything elsewhere in the Indenture contained, the Trustee shall have the right, but shall not be required, to demand, in respect of the authentication of any Bonds or any action whatsoever within the purview of the Indenture, any showings, certificates, opinions, appraisals or other information, or corporate action or evidence thereof, in addition to that required by the terms of the Indenture, as a condition of such action by the Trustee reasonably deemed desirable by it for the purpose of establishing the right of the City to the authentication of any Bonds or the taking of any other action by the Trustee. (l) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in it by the Indenture at the request, order or direction of any of the Bondholders, Security Instrument Issuers or Reserve Instrument Issuers pursuant to the provisions of the Indenture, unless such Bondholders, Security Instrument Issuers or Reserve Instrument Issuers shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred therein or thereby. B-29 4867-1497-0902, v. 3 (m) All moneys received by the Trustee shall, until used or applied or invested as provided in the Indenture, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received, but need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by mandatory provisions of law. (n) The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, appraisal, Bond or other paper or document, unless requested in writing to do so by (i) the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate Principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding, (ii) any Security Instrument Issuer of a Security Instrument then in full force and effect and not in default on a payment obligation or (iii) any Reserve Instrument Issuer of a Reserve Instrument then in full force and effect and not in default on a payment obligation; provided, that, if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee, not reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of the Indenture, the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such expenses or liabilities as a condition to so proceeding. The reasonable expense of every such inquiry or examination shall be paid by the City or, if paid by the Trustee, shall be repaid by the City. (o) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken by it in good faith and reasonably believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion, rights or powers conferred upon it by the Indenture. (p) None of the provisions contained in the Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur personal financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there is reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or liability is not reasonably assured to it. (q) The Trustee shall not be obligated to take or omit to take any action under the Indenture if, upon the basis of advice of counsel selected by it, the Trustee determines it would be unlawful to take or omit to take such action. (r) The Trustee shall have no responsibility with respect to any information, statement or recital in any offering memorandum or other disclosure material prepared or distributed with respect to any Series of Bonds. (s) The Trustee shall not be liable for actions taken at the direction of Bondholders or Security Instrument Issuer pursuant to the provisions relating to Events of Default and Remedies of Bondholders in the Indenture. Intervention by the Trustee In any judicial proceeding to which the City is a party and which in the opinion of the Trustee has a substantial bearing on the interests of Holders of the Bonds, the Trustee may intervene on behalf of Bondholders and shall do so if requested in writing by (i) the Holders of a majority of the aggregate Principal amount of Bonds then Outstanding or (ii) any Security Instrument Issuer of a Security Instrument then in full force and effect and not in default on a payment obligation. The rights and obligations of the Trustee under this Section are subject to the approval of a court of competent jurisdiction. Successor Trustee Any corporation or association into which the Trustee may be converted or merged, or with which it may be consolidated, or to which it may sell or transfer its corporate trust business or assets as a whole or substantially as a whole, or any corporation or association resulting from any such conversion, sale, merger, consolidation or transfer to which it is a party, shall be and become a successor Trustee under the Indenture and vested with all the trusts, powers, discretions, immunities, privileges and all other matters as was its predecessor, without the execution or filing of any instrument or any further act, deed or conveyance on the part of the Trustee or the City, anything in the Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding. B-30 4867-1497-0902, v. 3 Concerning Any Successor Trustee Every successor Trustee appointed under the Indenture shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to its or his predecessor and also to the City a Supplemental Indenture accepting such appointment and thereupon such successor, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the estates, properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations of its predecessor; but such predecessor shall, nevertheless, on the Written Request of the City, or of its successor, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the estates, properties, rights, powers and trusts of such predecessor under the Indenture; and every predecessor Trustee shall deliver all securities and moneys held by it as Trustee under the Indenture to its or his successor. Should any instrument in writing from the City be required by any successor Trustee for more fully and certainly vesting in such successor the estates, properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations by the Indenture vested or intended to be vested in the predecessor, any and all such instruments in writing shall, on request, be executed, acknowledged and delivered by the City. Any Trustee ceasing to act shall, nevertheless, retain a lien upon all property or funds held or collected by such Trustee to secure any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of the Indenture. Compensation of the Trustee and Its Lien The City covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee from time to time and the Trustee shall be entitled to, reasonable compensation and, except as otherwise expressly provided, the City covenants and agrees to pay or reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of the Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all persons not regularly in its employ including but not limited to any Paying Agent, Transfer Agent or Depository) except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence or bad faith. The City also covenants to indemnify the Trustee for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim of liability in the premises. The obligations of the City under this Section to compensate and indemnify the Trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee for expenses, disbursements and advances shall constitute additional indebtedness under the Indenture and shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture. Such additional indebtedness shall be secured by a lien prior to that of the Bonds upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the benefit of the Holders of particular Bonds. Appointment of Co-Trustee It is the purpose of the Indenture that there shall be no violation of any law of any jurisdiction (including particularly the law of the State) denying or restricting the right of banking corporations or associations to transact business as Trustee in such jurisdiction. It is recognized that in case of litigation under the Indenture, and in particular in case of the enforcement thereof on default, or in the case the Trustee deems that by reason of any present or future law of any jurisdiction it may not exercise any of the powers, rights or remedies granted to the Trustee in the Indenture or hold title to the properties, in trust, as granted in the Indenture, or take any action which may be desirable or necessary in connection therewith, it may be necessary that the Trustee appoint an additional individual or institution as a separate or co-trustee. The following provisions of this Section are adapted to these ends. In the event that the Trustee appoints an additional individual or institution as a separate or co-trustee, each and every remedy, power, right, claim, demand, cause of action, immunity, estate, title, interest and lien expressed or intended by the Indenture to be exercised by or vested in or conveyed to the Trustee with respect thereto shall be exercisable by and vest in such separate or co-trustee but only to the extent necessary to enable such separate or co- trustee to exercise such powers, rights and remedies, and every covenant and obligation necessary to the exercise thereof by such separate or co-trustee shall run to and be enforceable by either of them. Should any instrument in writing from the City be required by the separate trustee or co-trustee so appointed by the Trustee for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to him or it such estates, properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations, any and all such instruments in writing shall, on request, be executed, acknowledged and delivered by the City. In case any separate trustee or co-trustee, or a successor to either of them shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all the estates, properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties B-31 4867-1497-0902, v. 3 and obligations of such separate trustee or co-trustee, so far as permitted by law, shall vest in and be exercised by the Trustee until the appointment of a new trustee or successor to such separate trustee or co-trustee. Appointment, Duties and Term of Remarketing Agent The City may pursuant to a Supplemental Indenture appoint one or more Remarketing Agents from time to time to purchase or remarket Put Bonds. Appointment, Duties and Term of Additional Transfer Agents The City may appoint one or more Transfer Agents from time to time in addition to the Trustee to transfer and authenticate Bonds. Each appointment of a Transfer Agent other than the Trustee shall be made by a Supplemental Indenture which shall, among other things, specify the duties, qualifications and term of such Transfer Agent and the conditions under which such Transfer Agent may resign, be removed or be replaced. Each Transfer Agent other than the Trustee shall signify its acceptance of the duties imposed upon it pursuant to the Indenture by depositing with the City and the Trustee a written acceptance of such duties, together with a certificate stating that the Transfer Agent is duly qualified to perform such duties under the terms of the Indenture and under all applicable local, state and federal laws. MODIFICATION OR AMENDMENT OF INDENTURE Amendments Permitted (a) The Indenture or any Supplemental Indenture and the rights and obligations of the City and of the Holders of the Bonds may be modified or amended at any time by a Supplemental Indenture and pursuant to the affirmative vote at a meeting of Bondholders, or with the written consent without a meeting, (1) of the Holders of at least a majority in Principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding, and (2) in case less than all of the several Series of Bonds then Outstanding are affected by the modification or amendment, of the Holders of at least a majority in Principal amount of the Bonds of each Series so affected and then Outstanding, and (3) in case the modification or amendment changes the terms of any Sinking Fund Installment, of the Holders of at least a majority in Principal amount of the Bonds of the particular Series and maturity entitled to such Sinking Fund Installment and then Outstanding; provided, however, that if such modification or amendment will, by its terms, not take effect so long as any Bonds of any specified Series remain Outstanding, the consent of the Holders of Bonds of such Series shall not be required and Bonds of such Series shall not be deemed to be Outstanding for the purpose of any calculation of Outstanding Bonds under this Section.

provided further that in determining whether any such modification, alteration, amendment or supplement is materially adverse to the Holders of the Bonds, the Trustee shall consider the effect on the Holders as if there were no Security Instrument with respect to the Bonds; (8) to make any change which in the judgment of the Trustee shall not materially adversely affect the rights or interests of the Holders of any Outstanding Bonds requested by a Rating Agency in order to obtain or maintain any rating on the Bonds or by a Security Instrument Issuer or Reserve Instrument Issuer in order to insure or provide other security for any Bonds; (9) to make any change necessary (A) to establish or maintain the exemption from federal income taxation of interest on any Series of Bonds as a result of any modifications or amendments to Section 148 of the Code (or any successor provision of law) or interpretations thereof by the Internal Revenue Service, or (B) to comply with the provisions of Section 148(f) of the Code (or any successor provision of law), including provisions for the payment of all or a portion of the investment earnings of any of the Funds established hereunder to the United States of America;

No modification or amendment shall be permitted pursuant to subparagraph (1), (7), (8), (10), (11), (12) or (16) unless the City delivers to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel of nationally recognized standing in the field of law relating to municipal bonds to the effect that such modification or amendment will not adversely affect the tax-exempt status or validity of any Bonds affected by such modification or amendment.

(f) Notwithstanding any provisions of the Indenture to the contrary, a Supplemental Indenture providing for the issuance by a Security Instrument Issuer of a Security Instrument in connection with a Series of Bonds issued under the Indenture may provide, among other provisions, that the Security Instrument Issuer shall at all times, so long as the Series of Bonds remains Outstanding, be deemed to be the exclusive owner of all of the Bonds of such Series for the purpose of consenting to the execution and delivery of a Supplemental Indenture pursuant to the provisions of (a) above. Bondholders’ Meetings (a) The Trustee may, and upon the Written Request of the City shall, at any time, call a meeting of the Holders of Bonds, to be held at such place as may be selected by the Trustee and specified in the notice calling such meeting. Written notice of such meeting, stating the time and place of the meeting and in general terms the business to be submitted, shall be mailed by the Trustee, postage prepaid, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days before such meeting, to any Security Instrument Issuer or Reserve Instrument Issuer that is in full force and effect with respect to any Series of Bonds Outstanding and to each registered owner of Bonds then Outstanding at his address, if any, appearing upon the Bond register of the City. The cost and expense of the giving of such notice shall be borne by the City, and the Trustee shall be reimbursed by the City for any expense incurred by it. B-34 4867-1497-0902, v. 3 (b) Prior to calling any meeting of the Holders of Bonds, the Trustee shall adopt regulations for the holding and conduct of such meeting, and copies of such regulations shall be filed at the principal corporate trust office of the Trustee and at the office of the City and shall be open to the inspection of all Bondholders. The regulations shall include such provisions as the Trustee may deem advisable for evidencing the ownership of Bonds, for voting in person or by proxy, for the selection of temporary and permanent officers to conduct the meeting and inspectors to tabulate and canvass the votes cast thereat, the adjournment of any meeting and the records to be kept of the proceedings of such meeting, including rules of order for the conduct of such meeting and such other regulations as, in the opinion of the Trustee, may be necessary or desirable. (c) No resolution adopted by such meeting of Bondholders shall be binding unless and until a valid Supplemental Indenture has been executed and delivered containing the modifications or amendments authorized by the resolution adopted at such meeting. Such Supplemental Indenture shall become effective upon the filing with the Trustee of the resolution adopted at such meeting and such Supplemental Indenture. Amendment by Written Consent The City may at any time execute and deliver a valid Supplemental Indenture amending the provisions of the Bonds or of the Indenture or any Supplemental Indenture, to the extent that such an amendment is permitted by the Indenture, to become effective when and as approved by written consent of the Bondholders, and any necessary Security Instrument Issuers and Reserve Instrument Issuers, and as provided in this Section. Such Supplemental Indenture shall not be effective unless there shall have been filed with the City or the Trustee the written consents of the necessary number of Holders of the Bonds then Outstanding and the consents of any necessary Security Instrument Issuers and Reserve Instrument Issuers, and a notice shall have been published as hereinafter in this Section provided. It shall not be necessary for any consent under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed Supplemental Indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. Each consent of a Bondholder shall be effective only if accompanied by proof of ownership of the Bonds for which such consent is given, which proof shall be such as is permitted by the Indenture. Any such consent shall be binding upon the Holder of the Bonds giving such consent and on any subsequent Holder thereof (whether or not such subsequent Holder has notice thereof) unless such consent is revoked in writing by the Holder of the Bonds giving such consent or a subsequent Holder thereof by filing such revocation with the City and the Trustee prior to the date when the notice hereinafter in this Section provided for has been mailed. Notice of the execution and delivery of such Supplemental Indenture shall be mailed by the City to Bondholders (but failure to mail copies of such notice shall not affect the validity of the Supplemental Indenture when assented to by the requisite percentage of the Holders of the Bonds as aforesaid) and to each Security Instrument Issuer and Reserve Instrument Issuer of a Security Instrument or a Reserve Instrument as the case may be, then in full force and effect and not in default in a payment obligation. Disqualified Bonds Bonds owned or held by or for the account of the City shall not be deemed Outstanding for the purpose of any vote, consent or other action or any calculation of Outstanding Bonds provided for in the Indenture, and neither the City nor any owner or Holder of such Bonds shall be entitled to vote or consent to, or to take, any other action provided for in the Indenture. Any Pledged Bonds shall be deemed Outstanding and, for the purposes of any vote, shall be considered to be owned by the appropriate Security Instrument Issuer. Effect of Modification or Amendment When any Supplemental Indenture modifying or amending the provisions of the Indenture or any Supplemental Indenture shall become effective, as provided in the Indenture, the Indenture or such Supplemental Indenture shall be and be deemed to be modified and amended in accordance therewith and the respective rights, duties and obligations under the Indenture or such Supplemental Indenture of the City, the Trustee, any Security Instrument Issuer, any Reserve Instrument Issuer, and all Holders of Bonds Outstanding hereunder shall thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced under the Indenture subject in all respects to such modification and amendment, and all the terms and conditions of any such Supplemental Indenture shall be and be deemed to be part of the terms and conditions of the Indenture or the modified or amended Supplemental Indenture for any and all purposes. B-35 4867-1497-0902, v. 3 Endorsement or Replacement of Bonds Issued After Amendments The City or the Trustee may determine that Bonds executed and delivered after the effective date of a Supplemental Indenture executed and delivered as provided in the Indenture shall bear a notation, by endorsement or otherwise, in form approved by the City, as to the modification or amendment provided for by such Supplemental Indenture. In that case, upon demand of the Holder of any Bond Outstanding at such effective date and presentation of his Bond for the purpose at the principal corporate trust operations office of the Trustee or at such other office as the Trustee may select and designate for that purpose, a suitable notation shall be made on such Bond. The City may determine that new Bonds, so modified as in the opinion of the City is necessary to conform to such Supplemental Indenture, shall be prepared, executed and delivered. In that case, upon demand of the Holder of any Bond then Outstanding, such new Bonds shall be exchanged at the principal corporate trust operations office of the Trustee without cost to any Bondholder, for Bonds then Outstanding, upon surrender of such Bonds. Irrevocable Consent Subject to the Indenture provisions relating to amendments by written consent, any consent pursuant to the provisions of the Indenture by any Holder of a Bond shall be irrevocable, and shall be conclusive and binding upon all future Holders of the same Bond delivered on transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in replacement thereof. EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND REMEDIES OF BONDHOLDERS Events of Default The occurrence of one or more of the following events shall constitute an “Event of Default”: (a) failure by the City to make the due and punctual payment of the Principal or Redemption Price of any Bond when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at maturity as therein expressed, by proceedings for redemption or otherwise; (b) failure by the City to make the due and punctual payment of any installment of interest on any Bond or any Sinking Fund Installment when and as such interest installment or Sinking Fund Installment shall become due and payable; (c) failure by the City to observe any of the covenants, agreements or conditions on its part contained in the Indenture or in the Bonds contained, and failure to remedy the same for a period of 30 days after written notice thereof, specifying such failure and requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the City by the Trustee, or to the City and the Trustee by the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds at the time Outstanding; (d) bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, including without limitation proceedings under Chapter 9 of Title 11, United States Code (as the same may from time to time be hereafter amended), or other proceedings for relief under any federal or state bankruptcy law or similar law for the relief of debtors are instituted by or against the City and, if instituted against the City, said proceedings are consented to or are not dismissed within 30 days after such institution; or (e) any event specified in a Supplemental Indenture as constituting an Event of Default under the Indenture; provided that any failure by the City to make payment as described in subparagraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall not constitute an Event of Default with respect to any Bond if the Supplemental Indenture authorizing the issuance of such Bond provides that due and punctual payment by a Security Instrument Issuer or a Reserve Instrument Issuer shall not give rise to an Event of Default and such payment is, in fact, duly and punctually made. The Trustee shall give notice to any Security Instrument Issuer or Reserve Instrument Issuer of any Event of Default known to the Trustee within 30 days after it has knowledge thereof. B-36 4867-1497-0902, v. 3 Remedies (a) Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default: (i) the Trustee may proceed, and (ii) upon the written request of (x) the Holders of a majority of the Principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds, (y) Security Instrument Issuers at the time providing Security Instruments which are in full force and effect and not in default on any payment obligation and which secure a majority in aggregate Principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding, or (z) any combination of Bondholders and Security Instrument Issuers described under clauses (x) and (y) representing a majority in aggregate Principal amount of the Bonds at the time Outstanding, shall proceed, to protect and enforce its rights and the rights under the Indenture of the Bondholders, the Security Instrument Issuers and the Reserve Instrument Issuers forthwith by any available remedy, including, without limitation, suit or suits in equity or at law, whether for the payment of any amount due under the Indenture or on the Bonds, or for the specific performance of any covenant contained in the Indenture, or in aid of the execution of any power granted in the Indenture or any remedy granted under the Act, or for an accounting against the City, as if the City were the trustee of an express trust, or in the enforcement of any other legal or equitable right, as the Trustee, being advised by counsel, shall deem most effectual to enforce any of its rights or to perform any of its duties under the Indenture. (b) All rights of action under the Indenture or under any of the Bonds may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Bonds or the production thereof in any trial or other proceeding relating thereto. Any suit or proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its name as Trustee without the necessity of joining any Holders or other parties as plaintiffs or defendants. (c) No delay in exercising or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair that remedy, right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver of any default or Event of Default or acquiescence therein. Every remedy, right and power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed to be expedient. (d) In case the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any remedy, right or power under the Indenture in any suit, action or proceedings, and the suit, action or proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee, then the Issuer, the Trustee, the Bondholders, the Security Instruments Issuers and the Reserve Instrument Issuers shall be restored to their former positions and rights under the Indenture, respectively, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Trustee shall continue as if no suit, action or proceedings had been taken. Application of Revenues and Other Moneys after Default (a) During the continuance of an Event of Default, the Trustee shall apply Revenues and such moneys, securities and funds and the income therefrom as follows and in the following order, provided that moneys held in any Series Subaccount in the Bond Service Account or in the Debt Service Reserve Account or received under any Security Instrument shall not be used for purposes other than payment of the interest and Principal or Redemption Price then due on the Series of Bonds corresponding to such Series Subaccount or such Security Instrument in accordance with paragraph (3) of this Section : (1) to the payment of the reasonable and proper charges and expenses of the Trustee and the reasonable fees and disbursements of its counsel; (2) to the payment of the Operation and Maintenance Costs, as certified by the City as due and payable; (3) to the payment of the interest and Principal or Redemption Price then due on the Bonds and Security Instrument Repayment Obligations, as follows: B-37 4867-1497-0902, v. 3 FIRST: To the payment to the persons entitled thereto of all installments of interest then due on the Bonds and the Security Instrument Repayment Obligations in the order of the maturity of such installments, and, if the amount available shall not be sufficient to pay in full any installment or installments maturing on the same date, then to the payment thereof ratably, according to the amounts due thereon, to the persons entitled thereto, without any discrimination or preference; and SECOND: To the payment to the persons entitled thereto of the unpaid Principal or Redemption Price of any Bonds and Security Instrument Repayment Obligations which shall have become due, whether at maturity or by call for redemption, in the order of their due dates, and, if the amount available shall not be sufficient to pay in full all the Bonds and Security Instrument Repayment Obligations due on any date, then to the payment thereof ratably, according to the amounts of Principal, Redemption Price or Security Instrument Repayment Obligations due on such date, to the persons entitled thereto, without any discrimination or preference; and (4) to the payment of all obligations owed to all Reserve Instrument Issuers according to the amounts due without any discrimination or preference.

No such payment over to the City by the Trustee or resumption of the application of Revenues as provided in the Indenture shall extend to or affect any subsequent default under the Indenture or impair any right consequent thereon. Rights and Remedies of Bondholders (a) No Holder of any Bond, any Security Instrument Issuer or any Reserve Instrument Issuer shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless: (1) such Holder, Security Instrument Issuer or Reserve Instrument Issuer has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default; (2) either (x) the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate Principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds, (y) Security Instrument Issuers at the time providing Security Instruments which are in full force and effect and not in default on any payment obligation and which secure 25% in aggregate Principal amount of the Bonds at the time Outstanding, or (z) any combination of Bondholders and Security Instrument Issuers described in clauses (x) and (y) representing not less than 25% in aggregate Principal amount of the Bonds at the time Outstanding, shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder; (3) such Holders or Security Instrument Issuers have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request; (4) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such proceedings; and B-38 4867-1497-0902, v. 3 (5) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60 day period by (1) the Holders of a majority in Principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds, (2) Security Instrument Issuers at the time providing Security Instruments which are in full force and effect and not in default on any payment obligation and which secure a majority in aggregate Principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding, or (3) any combination of Bondholders and Security Instrument Issuers described in clauses (1) and (2) representing a majority in aggregate Principal amount of the Bonds at the time Outstanding; it being understood and intended that no one or more Holders of Bonds, Security Instrument Issuers or Reserve Instrument Issuers shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other such parties, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other such parties or to enforce arty right under the Indenture, except in the manner provided in the Indenture and for the equal and ratable benefit of all such parties in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture. (b) Notwithstanding any other provision in the Indenture, the Holder of any Bond shall have the right which is absolute and unconditional to receive payment of the Principal of, Redemption Price and interest on such Bond on the respective stated maturities expressed in such Bond (or, in the case of redemption, on the redemption date of such Bond) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, subject only to any conditions of any Security Instrument Issuer providing a Security Instrument securing such Bond.

Nothing contained in the Indenture shall permit the levy of any attachment or execution upon any of the properties of the City, nor shall any properties of the City be subject to forfeiture by reason of any default under the Indenture, it being expressly understood and agreed by each and every Bondholder by the acceptance of any Bond and by each and every Security Instrument Issuer and Reserve Instrument Issuer by entering into Security Instrument Agreements and Reserve Instrument Agreements, as appropriate, that the rights of all such Bondholders, Security Instrument Issuers and Reserve Instrument Issuers are limited and restricted to the use and application of Revenues, Funds and other moneys, securities and funds pledged under the Indenture in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.

No such waiver shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent default or Event of Default or shall impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon. INVESTMENT OF FUNDS Investment of Funds (a) Moneys held in any Fund or account shall be invested and reinvested by the City or the Trustee to the fullest extent practicable in Investment Securities which mature not later than such times as shall be necessary to provide moneys when needed for payments to be made from such Fund or account, subject to the following: (1) the Trustee shall make such investments only in accordance with written instructions received from an Authorized Officer of the City; B-40 4867-1497-0902, v. 3 (2) any Supplemental Indenture authorizing a Series of Bonds may impose additional restrictions on moneys held in any Fund or account; and (3) any Supplemental Indenture authorizing a Series of Bonds may authorize the investment of moneys to be held in any Project Account, Series Subaccount in the Bond Service Account or Series Subaccount in the Debt Service Account created by such Supplemental Indenture and relating to such Series of Bonds in such other investments as may be specified by the Supplemental Indenture. (b) Subject to any required rebate of earnings on investments in any Fund or account to the United States of America pursuant to Section 148(f) of the Code and except as otherwise provided in a Supplemental Indenture establishing a Project Account or a Series Subaccount: (i) all moneys earned as an investment of moneys in the Construction Fund shall be retained therein; (ii) net income earned on any moneys or investments in the Revenue Fund , the Bond Service Account and the Renewal and Replacement Fund shall remain in or be transferred to the Revenue Fund; (iii) whenever a Series Subaccount in the Debt Service Reserve Account is in its full required amount, net income earned on any moneys or investments in such Series Subaccount shall be transferred to the corresponding Series Subaccount in the Bond Service Account as provided in the Indenture, otherwise, to be retained therein. (c) The Trustee shall have no liability or responsibility for any loss or for failure to maximize earnings resulting from any investment made in accordance with the provisions of this Section. The Trustee shall be entitled to assume, absent receipt by the Trustee of written notice to the contrary, that any investment, which at the time of purchase is an Investment Security, remains an Investment Security thereafter. (d) The Trustee may make any and all investments permitted by the provisions of the Indenture through its own investment department or that of its affiliates. As and when any amount invested pursuant to the Indenture may be needed for disbursement, the Trustee may cause a sufficient amount of such investments to be sold and reduced to cash to the credit of such funds. The City acknowledges that to the extent that regulations of the Comptroller of the Currency or other applicable regulatory agency grant the City the right to receive brokerage confirmations of security transactions, the City waives receipt of such confirmations. The Trustee shall furnish to the City periodic statements, which include detail of all investment transactions, made by the Trustee. Arbitrage Covenant The City covenants that moneys on deposit in any Fund, whether or not such moneys were derived from proceeds of sales of Bonds or from any other sources, will not be used in a manner which will cause any Bonds, the interest on which is to be exempt from federal income taxation under the Code, to be “arbitrage bonds” within the meaning of Section 148 of the Code; provided, however, that this covenant shall not prevent the issuance of a Series of Bonds the interest on which is subject to Federal income taxation under the Code. DEFEASANCE Discharge of Indebtedness If the City shall pay or cause to be paid, or there shall otherwise be paid, subject to any limitations contained in a Supplemental Indenture with respect to a Series of Bonds, to the Holders of all Bonds the Principal or Redemption Price, if applicable, and interest due or to become due thereon, at the times and in the manner stipulated therein and in the Indenture and if all Repayment Obligations owed to Security Instrument Issuers and Reserve Instrument Issuers shall have been paid in full, then the pledge of any Revenues and other moneys, securities and Funds pledged under the Indenture and all covenants, agreements and other obligations of the City to the Bondholders, Security Instrument Issuers and Reserve Instrument Issuers shall thereupon cease, terminate and become void and be discharged and satisfied. In such event, the Trustee shall cause an accounting for such period or periods as shall be requested by the City to be prepared and filed with the City and, upon the request of the City, shall execute and deliver to the City all such instruments as may be desirable to evidence such discharge and satisfaction, and the Agents shall pay over or deliver to the City all moneys or securities held by them pursuant to the Indenture which are not required for the payment of Principal or Redemption Price, if applicable, and interest on Bonds not theretofore surrendered for such payment or redemption. If the City shall pay or cause to be paid, or there shall otherwise be paid, to the Holders of B-41 4867-1497-0902, v. 3 any Outstanding Bonds the Principal or Redemption Price, if applicable, and interest due or to become due thereon, at the times and in the manner stipulated therein and in the Indenture, such Bonds shall cease to be entitled to any lien, benefit or security under the Indenture, and all covenants, agreements and obligations of the City to the Holders of such Bonds shall thereupon cease, terminate and become void and be discharged and satisfied. Bonds or interest installments for the payment or redemption of which moneys shall have been set aside and shall be held in trust by the Trustee (through deposit by the City of funds for such payment or redemption or otherwise) at the maturity or redemption date thereof shall be deemed to have been paid within the meaning and with the effect expressed in subsection (a) of this Section, unless otherwise provided in a Supplemental Indenture with respect to a Series of Bonds. Subject to any further conditions in a Supplemental Indenture with respect to a Series of Bonds, all Outstanding Bonds of any Series shall prior to the maturity or redemption date thereof be deemed to have been paid within the meaning and with the effect expressed in subsection (a) of this Section if (1) in case any of said Bonds are to be redeemed on any date prior to their maturity, the City shall have given to the Trustee in form satisfactory to it irrevocable instructions to mail as provided in the Indenture notice of redemption of such Bonds on said date, (2) there shall have been deposited with the Trustee either moneys in an amount which shall be sufficient, or noncallable Government Obligations (including any Government Obligations issued or held in book-entry form on the books of the Department of the Treasury of the United States of America) the principal of and the interest on which when due will provide moneys which, together with the moneys, if any, deposited with the Trustee at the same time, shall be sufficient, to pay when due the Principal or Redemption Price, if applicable, and interest due and to become due on said Bonds on and prior to the redemption date or maturity date thereof, as the case may be, and (3) in the event said Bonds are not by their terms subject to redemption within the next succeeding 60 days, the City shall have given the Trustee in form satisfactory to it irrevocable instructions to mail, first class postage prepaid, a notice to the Holders of such Bonds that the deposit required by (2) above has been made with the Trustee and that said Bonds are deemed to have been paid in accordance with this Section and stating such maturity or redemption date upon which moneys are to be available for the payment of the Principal or Redemption Price, if applicable, on said Bonds. Neither Government Obligations nor moneys deposited with the Trustee pursuant to this Section nor principal or interest payments on any such Government Obligations shall be withdrawn or used for any purpose other than, and shall be held in trust for, the payment of the Principal or Redemption Price, if applicable, and interest on said Bonds; provided that any cash received from such principal or interest payments on such Government Obligations deposited with the Trustee, if not then needed for such purpose, shall, to the extent practicable, be reinvested in Government Obligations maturing at times and in amounts sufficient to pay when due the Principal or Redemption Price, if applicable, and interest to become due on said Bonds on and prior to such redemption date or maturity date thereof, as the case may be, and interest earned from such reinvestments shall be paid over to the City, as received by the Trustee, free and clear of any trust, lien or pledge. Unclaimed Moneys Anything in the Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, any moneys held by an Agent in trust for the payment and discharge of any of the Bonds which remain unclaimed for four years after the date when such Bonds have become due and payable, either at their stated maturity dates or by call for earlier redemption, if such moneys were held by the Agent at such date, or for four years after the date of deposit of such moneys if deposited with the Agent after the said date when such Bonds become due and payable, shall, at the Written Request of the City, be repaid by the Agent to the City, as its absolute property and free from trust, and the Agent shall thereupon be released and discharged with respect thereto and the Bondholders shall look only to the City for the payment of such Bonds.

D-1 4867-1497-0902, v. 3 APPENDIX D PROPOSED FORM OF OPINION OF BOND COUNSEL Upon the delivery of the Series 2022 Bonds, Gilmore & Bell, P.C., Bond Counsel to the City, proposes to issue its final approving opinion in substantially the following form: We have acted as bond counsel for Salt Lake City, Utah (the “Issuer”) in connection with the issuance by the Issuer of its $__________ Public Utilities Revenue Bonds, Series 2022 (the “Series 2022 Bonds”). The Series 2022 Bonds are being issued pursuant to (i) a resolution of the City Council adopted on [May 3, 2022]; and (ii) the Master Trust Indenture dated as of January 1, 2004 (the “Master Indenture”), as heretofore amended and supplemented and as further supplemented by an Eleventh Supplemental Indenture of Trust dated as of [June 1], 2022 (the “Eleventh Supplemental Indenture,” and together with the Master Indenture, the “Indenture”) between the Issuer and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee. The Series 2022 Bonds are issued for the purpose of (i) financing improvements to the Issuer’s Water and Sewer Utilities and (ii) paying costs associated with the issuance of the Series 2022 Bonds. Our services as bond counsel have been limited to the preparation of the legal proceedings and supporting certificates authorizing the issuance of the Series 2022 Bonds under the applicable laws of the State of Utah and to a review of the transcript of such proceedings and certificates. As to questions of fact material to our opinion, we have relied upon certified proceedings and other certifications of public officials furnished to us without undertaking to verify the same by independent investigation. Our examination has been limited to the foregoing as they exist or are in effect as of the date hereof. Our opinion is limited to the matters expressly set forth herein, and we express no opinion concerning any other matters. Based on our examination and the foregoing, we are of the opinion, as of the date hereof and under existing law, as follows: 1. The Indenture has been authorized, executed and delivered by the Issuer, constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Issuer, and creates a valid lien on the Net Revenues (as defined in the Indenture) and the other amounts pledged thereunder for the security of the Series 2022 Bonds. 2. The Series 2022 Bonds are valid and binding special obligations of the Issuer payable solely from the Net Revenues (as defined in the Indenture) and other amounts pledged therefor in the Indenture, and the Series 2022 Bonds do not constitute a general obligation indebtedness of the Issuer within the meaning of any State of Utah constitutional provision or statutory limitation, nor a charge against the full faith and credit or taxing power of the Issuer. 3. The interest on the Series 2022 Bonds (including any original issue discount properly allocable to an owner thereof) is excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes, and is not an item of tax preference for purposes of the federal alternative minimum tax. The opinions set forth in this paragraph are subject to the condition that the Issuer complies with all requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, that must be satisfied subsequent to the issuance of the Series 2022 Bonds in order that interest thereon be, or continue to be, excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes. The Issuer has covenanted to comply with all of these requirements. Failure to comply with certain of these requirements may cause the interest on the Series 2022 Bonds to be included in gross income for federal income tax purposes retroactive to the date of issuance of the Series 2022 Bonds. 4. The interest on the Series 2022 Bonds is exempt from State of Utah individual income taxes. We express no opinion herein regarding the accuracy, completeness or sufficiency of the Official Statement or any other offering material relating to the Series 2022 Bonds. The rights of the holders of the Series 2022 Bonds and the enforceability thereof and of the documents identified in this opinion may be subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium, and other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights heretofore or hereafter enacted to the extent D-2 4867-1497-0902, v. 3 applicable, and their enforcement may be subject to the application of equitable principles and the exercise of judicial discretion in appropriate cases. This opinion is given as of its date, and we assume no obligation to revise or supplement this opinion to reflect any facts or circumstances that may come to our attention or any changes in law that may occur after the date of this opinion. Respectfully submitted, E-1 4867-1497-0902, v. 3 APPENDIX E PROVISIONS REGARDING BOOK-ENTRY ONLY SYSTEM DTC will act as securities depository for the Series 2022 Bonds. The Series 2022 Bonds will be issued as fully-registered securities registered in the name of Cede & Co. (DTC’s partnership nominee) or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. One fully-registered certificate will be issued for each maturity of the Series 2022 Bonds, each in the aggregate principal amount of such maturity, and will be deposited with DTC. DTC, the world’s largest depository, is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law, a “banking organization” within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a “clearing corporation” within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a “clearing agency” registered pursuant to the provisions of section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. DTC holds and provides asset servicing for over 3.5 million issues of U.S. and non-U.S. equity issues, corporate and municipal debt issues, and money market instruments (from over 100 countries) that DTC’s participants (“Direct Participants”) deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the post-trade settlement among Direct Participants of sales and other securities transactions in deposited securities, through electronic computerized book-entry transfers and pledges between Direct Participants’ accounts. This eliminates the need for physical movement of securities certificates. Direct Participants include both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations. DTC is a wholly owned subsidiary of The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (“DTCC”). DTCC is the holding company for DTC, National Securities Clearing Corporation and Fixed Income Clearing Corporation, all of which are registered clearing agencies. DTCC is owned by the users of its regulated subsidiaries. Access to the DTC system is also available to others such as both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, and clearing corporations that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Direct Participant, either directly or indirectly (“Indirect Participants”). DTC has Standard & Poor’s rating of AA+. The DTC Rules applicable to its Participants are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. More information about DTC can be found at www.dtcc.com. Purchases of Series 2022 Bonds under the DTC system must be made by or through Direct Participants, which will receive a credit for the Series 2022 Bonds on DTC’s records. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of each Bond (“Beneficial Owner”) is in turn to be recorded on the Direct and Indirect Participants’ records. Beneficial Owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchase. Beneficial Owners are, however, expected to receive written confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the Direct or Indirect Participant through which the Beneficial Owner entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in the Series 2022 Bonds are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of Direct and Indirect Participants acting on behalf of Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in Series 2022 Bonds, except in the event that use of the book-entry system for the Series 2022 Bonds is discontinued. To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Series 2022 Bonds deposited by Direct Participants with DTC are registered in the name of DTC’s partnership nominee, Cede & Co., or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. The deposit of Series 2022 Bonds with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede & Co. or such other nominee do not effect any change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual Beneficial Owners of the Series 2022 Bonds; DTC’s records reflect only the identity of the Direct Participants to whose accounts such Series 2022 Bonds are credited, which may or may not be the Beneficial Owners. The Direct and Indirect Participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers. Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to Direct Participants, by Direct Participants to Indirect Participants, and by Direct Participants and Indirect Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Beneficial Owners of Series 2022 Bonds may wish to take certain steps to augment the transmission to them of notices of significant events with respect to the Series 2022 Bonds, such as redemptions, tenders, defaults, and proposed amendments to the Bond documents. For example, Beneficial Owners of Series 2022 Bonds may wish to ascertain that the nominee holding the Series 2022 Bonds for their benefit has agreed to obtain and transmit notices to Beneficial E-2 4867-1497-0902, v. 3 Owners. In the alternative, Beneficial Owners may wish to provide their names and addresses to the registrar and request that copies of notices be provided directly to them. Redemption notices shall be sent to DTC. If less than all of the Series 2022 Bonds are being redeemed, DTC’s practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each Direct Participant in such issue to be redeemed. Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. (nor any other DTC nominee) will consent or vote with respect to Series 2022 Bonds unless authorized by a Direct Participant in accordance with DTC’s MMI Procedures. Under its usual procedures, DTC mails an Omnibus Proxy to the City as soon as possible after the record date. The Omnibus Proxy assigns Cede & Co.’s consenting or voting rights to those Direct Participants to whose accounts Series 2022 Bonds are credited on the record date (identified in a listing attached to the Omnibus Proxy). Redemption proceeds, distributions, and dividend payments on the Series 2022 Bonds will be made to Cede & Co, or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. DTC’s practice is to credit Direct Participants’ accounts upon DTC’s receipt of funds and corresponding detail information from the City or the Paying Agent, on payable date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC’s records. Payments by Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in “street name,” and will be the responsibility of such Participant and not of DTC, the Paying Agent, or the City, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Payment of redemption proceeds, distributions, and interest payments to Cede & Co. (or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC) is the responsibility of the City or the Paying Agent, disbursement of such payments to Direct Participants will be the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of such payments to the Beneficial Owners will be the responsibility of Direct and Indirect Participants. DTC may discontinue providing its services as depository with respect to the Series 2022 Bonds at any time by giving reasonable notice to the City or the Paying Agent. Under such circumstances, in the event that a successor depository is not obtained, certificates are required to be printed and delivered. The City may decide to discontinue use of the system of book-entry-only transfers through DTC (or a successor securities depository). In that event, certificates will be printed and delivered to DTC. The information in this section concerning DTC and DTC’s book-entry system has been obtained from sources that the City believes to be reliable, but the City takes no responsibility for the accuracy thereof.

In the event of any amendment or waiver of a provision of this Disclosure Undertaking, the City shall describe such amendment in the next Annual Report of the City, and shall include, as applicable, a narrative explanation of the reason for the amendment or waiver and its impact on the type (or in the case of a change of accounting principles, on the presentation) of financial information or operating data being presented by the City, as applicable. In addition, if the amendment relates to the accounting principles to be followed in preparing financial statements, (i) notice of such change shall be given in the same manner as for a Listed Event under Section 5(e), and (ii) the Annual Disclosure Report for the year in which the change is made should present a comparison (in narrative form and also, if feasible, in quantitative form) between the financial statements as prepared on the basis of the new accounting principles and those prepared on the basis of the former accounting principles. Section 9. Additional Information. Nothing in this Disclosure Undertaking shall be deemed to prevent the City from disseminating any other information, using the means of dissemination set forth in this Disclosure Undertaking or any other means of communication, or including any other information in any Annual Report or notice of occurrence of a Listed Event, in addition to that which is required by this Disclosure Undertaking.

Date/Time Opened Popular Topic Contact Name Description 4/19/2022 8:39 Parking Esther Hunter Dear All,I am very sorry to be so late with this feedback and that we as a Community Council were not more involved in this planning process over the long time you have been holding extensive outreach.We also noticed that there was no representation on the committee from District 4 especially from the eastern portion of the district who might have offered a few ideas a bit earlier. The many events of the last two years have taken a toll on all of us.We care a great deal about this plan and all it represents.We are wondering if islands(parkings)could be included in this master plan so they can be kept in our mind's eye,enhanced and protected.The islands in the City may not be classified in the same way as what is intended so this may not be possible but in our area,islands are especially critical and provide significantly needed green/open space for our community.With the most important movement to help our air quality and doing all we can to recognize the importance of trees to our well being,some of these areas could even be imagined as tiny forests with this key initiative sweeping the globe.Islands history is interesting depending on the area.While some were put in place in more recent years,many have a long and rich history.When the historic islands were first created(1913)they replaced the electrical poles and wires that ran down the center of the street.They were called"Parkings"intended as a park for those who were not able to travel to the City parks,mountains and open space as often as they liked.The idea was to bring the park to the neighborhood.One particular island on 1200 East and 200 South was used as a children's play area, day care,and for family concerts.Although never funded and built,there was a plan to install a skating rink(fed by the springs).Below are two historic photos taken in 1915 of the 1200 East and 200 South islands from the Shipler Collection housed at the Utah State History Library and one from a recent Porchfest Salt Lake event.Please let us know if these could be added.Without a plan and protection,it would be a real shame to loose this type of asset in our community to some future developments need for parking cars instead of"parkings"for the community as intended.Your consideration is very much appreciated.Best to you all,Esther Hunter,Chair East Central Community Council, 4/19/2022 10:30 Affordable Housing Benjamin Wood Shared housing offers a minimalist housing option to tenants with fewer resources or who prefer that style of living.We need to embrace alternate housing styles and encourage this type of design innovation citywide,including in my own neighborhood.While this housing type is not for everyone, we need to get out of the way of property owners who are making attempts to meet prospective tenants where they are and add variety and competition to the housing market. 4/19/2022 10:38 RMF-30 Benjamin Wood Change is difficult but the demand for housing and the growth of our city means we can no longer justify exclusionary zoning that prohibits multi-family lots.We need to remember that people are assets and inviting more neighbors into our communities means more eyes on crime,more vibrant public spaces,and more patrons for small,local businesses.That's why we also need to allow mixed- use development more broadly and incentivize ground-floor retail and neighborhood bodegas. 4/19/2022 10:46 Police Funding Benjamin Wood The city should always seek to pay its police force a competitive,if not generous,wage and to maintain full staffing levels to ensure the department is the best versions of itself possible.That said, there are uses of public funding outside of traditional police budgets that can also help to deter crime witout expanding and extra-arming our officer pool.By diverting some police funds to improving the design of our streets,residents will be natrually invited back into our street spaces where their presence will push out aberrant behavior.A safe community is a vibrant community and that requires attractive and inviting public spaces where families can walk,bike and relax without fear of being injured or killed by a moving vehicle. 4/19/2022 10:51 Affordable Housing Alessandro Rigolon I support the city's shared housing proposal.I believe housing should come in different shapes and sizes.SROs are important for college students and for people who might be going in and out of homelessness.We need to make it easier to build this kind of housing units across the city. 4/19/2022 10:56 RMF-30 Alessandro Rigolon I strongly support the proposed changes to this ordinance because they would make it easier to build housing affordable for families.Single-family housing is now unattainable for most families,and many new large multi-family housing buildings are now leased and not sold as condos.That leaves middle- income families with very few options of they want to purchase a home in SLC.Increasing the flexibility of zones like RMF-30 would facilitate the production of much-needed missing middle housing.The SLC School District is increasingly losing enrollment,and that has gone hand in hand with increases in housing prices.Without enabling the construction of missing-middle housing that can appeal families,SLC will keep using families with school-aged kids.A city without children is not a good city. 4/19/2022 10:59 RMF-30 Jonathan Marsh Appeasing higher density and new building forms is a welcome addition to zoning and will help with lowering housing costs 4/19/2022 11:09 Affordable Housing Alessandro Rigolon I strongly support the adoption of the Affordable Housing Overlay proposed by the Planning Division. It will help create deed-restricted affordable housing and,in general,more housing.We have a historic housing crisis,and inaction by city council(like with RMF-30)is not going to solve the crisis. In other words,we can't get ourselves out of this housing crisis without building more housing of different types in different neighborhoods.Please be on the side of housing affordability and of climate change mitigation(more dense housing means fewer car trips).

April 12, 2022 The Honorable Dan Dugan Salt Lake City Councilman and Chair Councilman Dugan: I've reviewed the six district maps proposed by the Salt Lake City Redistricting Advisory Commission for the Salt Lake City Council Districts. I want to thank the members of the Commission who have worked on this initiative and for their time and effort to find workable solutions. I harken to a statement by my fellow Community Council Chair Jason Stevenson in ELPCO: "boundaries matter. Where they are drawn can have real-life implications on representation, identity and belonging." For the most part, the Commission understood this and proposed maps that reflect the "psychological" as well as traditional and historical linkages between certain areas of the city. My remarks will primarily focus on the eastside, of which I have the greatest familiarity. Let me start with the most disruptive and least favorite of the six: "Something Totally Different." Most of Yalecrest would move to a new District 7, while the northwest corner would get shipped to a newly configured District 6. District 5 would inherit more territory all the way to 1500 East. The Miller Bird Refuge and Nature Park along with the Bonneville Glen gorge—which are naturally connected by nature and habitat, would be severed in half—with the north end in District 7 and the south end in the new District 6. These are all non-starters. The U would remain in District 6. Like a marriage, "for better or for worse," Yalecrest and the U have been historically and emotionally tied together and this plan would separate them. Throughout its history, Yalecrest has been the favored residence of countless professors, the U's hospital and medical professionals as well as administrators. Keeping them in the same district preserves that continuity. I also support Jason's statement that the Commission and Council "respect" the current community council boundaries. In the five other redistricting models there is an interesting "carve out" that I was previously unaware of—along 1300 East to 1300 South, 1600 East and down Emerson to reconnect with 1300 East. It is part of District 5 and why I don't wish to ruffle the feathers of my good neighbor Jason to the west, it seems to be psychologically more connected to the Wasatch Hollow/Yalecrest neighborhoods. The east boundary falls along the street where Emigration Market and Jolley's Pharmacy are located. Adding these neighbors would require ceding another parcel to District 3— perhaps on the northern edge? Model 2022-02 partially addresses the "carve out" mentioned above but goes too far as it pushes District 6 west to 1100 East—which psychologically and historically fits more appropriately in District 5. 1300 East is a division line that seems like a natural break between District 5 and 6. The "Politely Compact w Minimal Changes" model addressed the carve out as well but goes too far by placing even more Wasatch Hollow territory into District 5. I hope you will give some consideration to these opinions. Thank you for letting me share my thoughts about the redistricting process. Respectfully, Janet (Jan) Hemming Chair Yalecrest Neighborhood Council
