5/18/2022 16:40 Stephen H.Bitteker D3 Online Forum City Budget Budget priorities Public comment regarding the Budget.I was unable to present in-person at the meeting on May 17,2022.To:Salt Lake
City Council May 18,2022 From:Stephen H.Bitteker,District 31n the FY22 Adopted Budget the largest General Fund
were attributable to Human Resources(24 3%),the Mayor's office(22.6%),and Nan Departmental expenditures
(26 4%);meanwhile,Public Services decreased by ready 27%.If demand on city services is increasing as the Maya
states,then this particular decrease doesn't make any sense',•The FY 2022 budget of$367 million represented about a
13%increase over the previous year.Now you're proposing another increase of 15 5%even after receiving$87 million in
federal funds related to Covid,essentially free money that equals about 24%of the FY 2022 general fund.Yet still asking
for more',•SLC handed out$1 000 CRT cards wall some of that money,The Salt Laker Card,for the poor and illegal
immigrants An adide from KSL in Dec 2021 staled you still have money left over.What are you doing with it',•Now you
want to raise property Imes 5%to help pay for green spaces and the less fortunate among us during a period of
hyperinflation that hasn't been seen in the U 5.since the 1970s.If you combine the current inflation rate with your
proposed tax increase that means Salt Lake Cgy residents are experiencing a 14%increase in their basic costs year over
year,tar outpacing wages for most of us.•Councilmember Wharton informed me the homeless problem,a serious,poorly
managed issue in SLC On tact my wge has been accosted several times just since March-in one instance another man
had to Intervene as she was walking without me)must be addressed by County and State officials as the City doesn't have
any control.So why are you asking for more funds in the name of the hornless?1 urge residents of SLC and the Council
to reject the proposed budget and demand the Maya start living within the already grandiose means prodded by a bloated
budget thanks to tree federal funds and higher sales tax receipts(including revenues from the absurd 1%restaurant tax).
How about working with State officials to lower the 25 cent tax on gasoline?The administration and council should be
thanking taxpayers like me for choosing the City as a residence,not demanding more out of my pocket,especially now
when everything has become more expensive.And instead of proposing a Bond issue which ultimately falls on the backs of
resfients and tourists,require the developers to put money into parks and open spaces while they continue profiting from
citys growth.I believe the City needs to begin exercising fiscal discipline as well as explain past expenditures.Finally,
equitable outcomes are only possible when the decision-makers are blind to income level and ethnicity,otherwise,you're
perpetuating the insidious practice of classifying preferred constituents.Discrimination against whites has the exact same
characteristics as when applied to any other ethnicity Make decisions based on merit.I don't new the proposed budget as
consistent with the Mayors comments below_Pad of achieving that door includes Corning the first-ever Innovation
Departrnent for the City,which will drive projects that make city government more nimble,efficient,and cohesive,the
Mayor announced.'This team will lead out in creating a culture of innovation in city government,helping Salt Lake City to
modernize business processes standardize cur approach to project management,improve public transparency,streamline
inefficiencies,and promote the use of data to drive decisions,'she said.'No to this budget.Reduce spending and return
some of the Ass surplus to those paying the bi11s.'SLC goy CC:KSL

S/18/2022 16:49 David Mortow D6 Council Comment Affordable Housing Zone Change I am resident of Salt Lake City,REDACTED I was very upset to hear the Planning Commissions proposal to change
Email zoning regulations in several Salt Lake neighborhoods.We chose the location where we live because of the house and
the area being residential.We new there were a few rentals in the area but the houses were still single family homes.
The idea that a zone change would allow a change to the current setbacks and force more cars on the street which is
already crowded is not acceptable.We purched our home understanding that it was zoned residential and never
imagined that would change.There are so many other options such a requiring apartment builders to provide a
percentage of their apartments to be low income.Why is the City promoting growth when it requires existing
residents to be impacted.The traffic is terrible,we are short of water and the character of the City is being changed.
Perhaps its time to stop or at least curb the growth before we become another Los Angeles.David K.Morrow

S/19/2022 13:56 Cathy-fin Falkner D5 Online Forum City Budget Flyer from SL Green annoucina Perhaps before you propose an increase in fees you should assess the service or the lack thereof.At least once a
proposed increase for month one of my cans is not picked up.Today,Thursday May 19,2022 garbage collection came by but did not wait for
residential garbage pick-up fees the green canto empty,then dropped the can down with at least 1/2 the garage still in the can.Last week I had to
sweep/clean the garbage up off the street because the driver dropped the green can prior to emptying and my
recyclable(blue)can wasn't picked up.Cans are not placed on the street they are dropped to the street.Two of my
cans re damaged because of driver negligence.Today the driver of the recyclable truck came down 200 east(north
bound)so fast when he turned the corner at Browning(eastbound)he nearly ran over the curb.Had a car been
parked outside the home he would have hit it.If a child had been riding a bike down the street they would have been
killed.Operating large equipment and replacing cans due to unnecessary damage is expensive;perhaps a way to
reduce overall costs would be to hire responsible individuals and train/manage them appropriately.Adding money at
the front door to be thrown away at the back door is irresponsible money management.Once this step has taken
place and the city still needs to increase fees I would gladly agree.I am not sure who does schedule or
communication,but can you explain why the street sweeper comes the day before garbage pick-up instead of the day
after?I believe the city should clean up its own mess before increasing.On a side note,in the part when I called to
report reckless driving/service your operators response was"you obviously have never driven a big truck before".
Her statement was correct,but!fail to understand what my driving experience has to do with how the city collects or
manages garbage pick-up.Respectfully,Cathy-Lin Falkner

Water,Etc Rate Increases above mentioned services to citizens and taxpayers of Salt take City.The rates go up nearly every year for

inflation and it's becoming increasingly difficult to purchase food,gas,property taxes,etc.Some relief comes knowing
the monthly bilk don't change but sure enough,every year,the city and state find a way to make their way into the

you'd surely bring some relief to every household in Salt Lake City.

5/20/202216:53 Spencer Stevens D2 Council Comment City Budget Budget priorities Council Comments Email Dear City Council,My name is Spencer Stevens,and I have been a resident of Sap Lake City for
Email 5 years.It is a great place to live overall,and I am grateful for all that is being done on behalf of community residents like
me.Thank you.Since the budget is gang to be reviewed and worked on these next fen weeks,I want to submit a comment
on what services and prajoels are important to me:1.Housing.Rght now,everyone is aware that there is a are need for
housing,speaking to both the homeless and non-homeless citizens of Salt Lake CO Although there are complications in
obtaining building materials for new housing,I bobove we can work with what we have as well.For instance,I hue by the
Granary district(700 S.400 W.is close to the heart of it),and there are multiple buildings over there that could potentially
be converted into housing structures.Prodding ongoing funding for building both new and renovated housing is crucial to
the ongoing economic and social vitality of our community.And yes,I would say this especialy includos prodding stable
housing for the homeless.Though homelessness is a complex issue,there is quite a bit of data to demonstrate that stable
housing is absolutely essential in rehabiipagng this population.Salt Lake City has been a leader in this approach in the past,
and I would love to see a renewed zeal in that this coming fiscal year.2.Mental Health.At this time,Utah ranks 32 out of
50 in overall mental health care access(see here for data details),which contributes to other issues like domesgc violence.
in homelessness,youth substance abuse,and more.If we are going to prioritize Utah values like strong families,
a vibrant economy,and the Iike,we need to priontze mental health.I recognize that the Sag Lake County Health
Department has several programs in place that attempt to address mental health,in several different places.However,
basic psychological trauma awareness is absent in our community.As a trauma survivor myself,it is frustrating and difficult
to experience the lack of trauma awareness in our community.It is a public health issue,one that the health department
needs to priontze more.Many,many people have been traumatized by the last 2 years of the pandemic,because of
sencus illness,isolation,death,and more.Allocating e'en a very small amount of the budget to trauma awareness would
help people understand what is going on and how to heal.This,in turn,would turn to the communilys benefit as a whole
because people would become more capable of working instead of using welfare,less likely to engage in domesgc violence.
less prone to substance abuse,and more.Please consider it.3 Education.Utah schools and teachers really,really need
more support.We ask a lot with a Me,honestly,and there are other options available to parents&students who do not
feel Ike they are getting a quality educagon.If students and teachers have submitted feedback about what they need for a
successful future,please listen.Not all requests are reasonable and can be honored,but some of them certainly can
throughout the Salt Lake School District.I would challenge the City Council to dig into the feedback they have receved
from parents,educators,and students alike,and see what requests they can reakisscally fulfill.This might require changing
what has been done beforel But,I believe that at lead a few things can change to ensure a better future for the young
people in our city.Education is one of the pillars of an economically sound,sociaty equitable society If we don't make it a
financial pnaity,well pay for it later on.Thank you for reviewing my email,and have a beautiful dayl Sincerely,Spencer
Stevens

Email proposed bus routes in the >I know this is not a District 6 matter,and that UTA is an independent authority,but I'm hearing some vocal Avenues
Avenues residents are turning on the pressure on District 3 to prevent the bus from running in the neighborhood.These routes
are of citywide importance(downtown,U of U,hospital),and the concerns of a few vocal residents in the Avenues
who didn't get involved during the normal comment period should not derail these good transit improvements.»If
these routes were changed/not implemented,it would also be a really bad look in terms of equity.The well-
connected residents of the Avenues already managed to stop the implementation of the foothills trails,even after
there were numerous years of community engagement.Should they be able to stop new bus routes,too?I don't
think we give the same power to Westside neighborhoods when it comes to saying no to change.Again,this is an
issue of equity and power imbalance that needs to be addressed.»I work near the Avenues(at the U of Utah),and
the proposed improved service would enable me to go downtown or to the Capitol much more quicky,as well as to
some areas of the Avenues that I like to frequent.»Thanks,»Alessandro»
5/23/20229:18 George Chapman D3 Council Comment UTA Bus Service FW:(EXTERNAL)Thank you for I have been a mass transit advocate and activist for over 40 years but disagree with several UTA statements during the
Email the UTA discussion-I disagree youlube cenversapon.I complained to UTA before on the significant negative:impact on riders with the August change day.
with several UTA comments Besidos the lack of public engagement(no community councils had presentations-which were obvious wph just a 30 day
notice-community councils need 45 days plus to add to the agenda and provide time),the impact on riders was negative
due to increasing the lime between destinations and wph students that will lose convenient access to their schools.I know
that UTA is having issues wph the lack of dn'ers and even bus stop servicers(which is why the last winter created barriers
to access to buses wph ice dams from snowplows-property owners are not responsible for them and far opening up park
stn.-UTA did remove snow/ice in previous years)but that negatively impacts ridership.A pleasant and experienced driver
is one of the biggest reasons for nano a bus.UTA was down 100 drivers a few months ago.I look fonwartl to UTA fixing
the many non ADA compliant(and mobility challenging)bus stops around this County.I have many complaints into UTA on
the issues like Walmad barriers and Smith transfer inconvenient bus stops.Moving a bus stop a couple of hundred feet
away from a transfer bus stop is a challenge for mobility impaired/ADA potential ridership.And hopefully,UTA will stop
ordering drivers to stay away from the curb.UTA seems to be trying to hp all areas by zg zagging around,much like the
weslsitle to supposedly be equitable.The Avenues,and even South Temple is an issue wph ADA,especially since buses
can't usually get to the curb and even close enough to deploy a ramp.Parked cars will exacerbate the situation in the
Avenues.The Avenues have been asking for better bus service for years(at least 10 years at Greater Avenues)but zig
zagging around is not the solution.I look forward to the results of ridership on the changed routes.Ridership due to Could
is still down and it may take years to return if ever since many who leff bought cars and got out of the transit habit.I agree
wph Councilman Wharton on lack of appropnale outreach before the changes were finalized.I disagree with the outreach
by the City and UTA on these changes and the lack of bus stop access.I dull remember hearing anything in my many
commundy councils from the City m UTA on the bus stop issues(I complained to UTA and the City and got direct
answers).And the efficiency and lower emissions is a more complicated issue.If a car is getting 30-40 mpg with one
person,a 5-10mpg bus will need 4 to match efficiency and the average passenger in a car is 1 1.Clean diesels also need
higher speed than most buses in the slower stop and go service area of the City to reduce emissions(to burn up the carbon
fully).CNG is lower except for NOX.I know of a bus stop that was removed due to noise,although UTA and the City
refused to atmp it I know the people who complained The noise of a bus stopping and going can be disturbing and
disruptive:and there will be more complaints on hills due to the need for higher engine speed to go up.Noise WILL be an
issue which is also a problem wph buses in the canyons but UTA seems to ignore p.The hilly areas should be prionhzed for
new eiecinc buses(instead of questionable funding for expanding rail).And finaty,a bus every 15 minutes is nothing
compared to a FrontRunner Tier 1 Iaomog'e going through SLC every 15 minutes(the UTA goal).UTA should ether buy
new her 4 locomotives m rebuy the retrofits from her 2 to her 4.Again,Chris,thank you for pushing UTA on these issues.

5/23/2022 12:00 David Leta N/A Council Comment City Budget Budget priorities Council Comments Email:To all SLC Council members:Thank you for your service to the SLC community As you weigh
Email and consider the FY23 budget,here are some of the pnalies that I would like to see in the budget:1.More commercial
developmental°intersections"within residential neighborhoods,much like what one experiences in other major Western
cities such as Portland,OR and Seattle,WA.This may require some zoning changes.What I envision are more small,
specialty shops and restaurants at more residential intersections,similar to what has happened in the gth and 9th district,
at the intersection of 13th So and 17th Eat or at the intersection of 15th E and 15th So.This type of development allows
residents to access the developments on fool or wish a bicycle,avoids vehicle traffic(also reducing air pollution,vehicle
cenges,on,vehicle/pedeslnan/cyclist interactions,and parking problems),and attracts residents.In certan sections of
the tidy,these°commercial intersections°could also have a cultural orientation canpatime with the respective surrounding
neighborhood.Moreover,the increased commerce will boast sales revenues,which is a major source of revenue for the
City.2.Improved pedestrian and bicycle access along major transpodabon corridors.These routes need to be wy000 cars
cics .
Bike lanes help,but they also encourage dangerous interactions between cyclists and cars/Imo'.Moreover,deveways,
intersecting streets and parking access necessarily cut across bike lanes,thus requinng bikes and cars to dodge each
other.Dedicated bike/pedestrian lanes are much safer and,in fact,allow for faster bike travel to a destination.I
understand that creating such lanes is difficult with the Gays e0sting roadways,but as roads are improved,it should be a
goal.3.Improved parks in the city and trails in the foothills.One of the reasons SLC is growing is the ability of residents to
lire close to where they work and recreate.As residential density increases through the construction of more condos and
apadments,more emphasis should be places on improving and expanding outdoor venues that are easily accessige by
iesidents.4.Rrohde safe Tiring spaces for very low income,gr no income,residents to better manage the growing
incidence of people experiencing homelessness.I am not pntyannish,this is not an easy problem to sdve.But,unless
significant resources are devoted to this issue,people will continue t0 a ye hovev ,and wherever,they can of a need to
sunnve One thing the City should consider is providing incentives for homeowners to use extra space in theirr h hones to
take in people al opportunities
homelessness on a temporary basis as those people realign their lives.5.Improved educational
and instructional o to serve
for disadvantaged youth to cite alternatives to gang membership.A program that
centiv¢es people to serve as one-on-one mentors for these young people would be step in the right direction.6.More
innovative public Iran.'to discourage use of cars and trucks,while also shortening travel dme.What I envision is an
extensive shuffle bus network that allows residents easy and frequent access to transit for distances of 1-3 miles.].
Serious and enforced water use restrictions,especialty governmental use of water on public spaces.Thanks again for your
servce.Dand Lela

the number of required parking spaces.Too much of our city is dedicated to infrastructure dedicated to cars,which
enables pollution and particulate matter in a city struggling with air quality.It also decreases density,making walking,
biking,and public transit less feasible.If space dedicated to parking cars was reduced it could be used for additional
business or green space,both of which would make Salt Lake City a better place to live and work.While considering

absolutely NO INFORMATION in it as to WHY the increase is needed or where the money would be going.SLC
residents deserve better,much better.Quit hiding the important information that we need to make informed
decisions.It just breeds doubt and distrust in our government.The truth of how bad the recycling system is has
already been exposed by local news networks over the years.Can someone tell me what these increased rates are
for?Where is ALL the money going?Truck maintenance and other future expenditures should have already been
calculated into the last increase so as to avoid more increases.You say in your notice,"Before 2021,the city had not
raised the waste and recycling fee since 2014."What does that have to do with anything...as if we are so lucky to
have gone so long without an increase.Spending other people's money sure is easy isn't it.Travis Straw
