RE: 803, 805, 807, and 815 West Simondi Avenue, and 802, 806, 810,
and 814 West 300 North Zoning Map and Master Plan Amendments
PLNPCM2023-00499/00361
The Council will be briefed about a proposal from NeighborWorks Salt Lake to amend the zoning map for
properties at 803, 805, 807, and 815 West Simondi Avenue, and 802, 806, 810, and 814 West 300 North in
Council District Two from their current R-1/7,000 (Single-Family Residential) zoning to RMF-30 (Low-
Density Multi-Family Residential). In addition, the proposal calls for amending the Northwest Community
Master Plan future land use designations from Low-Density Residential to Medium Density Residential.
The petitioner’s stated objective is to develop low-density affordable for sale townhomes on the subject
parcels, though no development proposal has been submitted. Under the current R-1/7,000 zoning a total
of eight single-family homes could be constructed, with the potential for an accessory dwelling unit (ADU)
depending on the parcel’s size. The proposed RMF-30 zoning allows additional housing types and potential
for up to 20 units on the parcels.
A vacant four-plex and garage in disrepair on the 814 West 300 North parcel were demolished. The other
seven parcels are vacant. An east/west public alley runs between the properties that front onto Simondi
Avenue and 300 North. An alley vacation is not part of the proposal and would remain open regardless of
whether the properties are rezoned.
Combined, the eight parcels total slightly less than one acre, with approximately 0.49 acres north of the
alley, and 0.44 acres to the south. Area zoning is primarily R-1/7,000 west of 800 West, and primarily R-
1/5,000 to the east, with some RMF-35 as shown in the area zoning map below.

The Planning Commission reviewed this proposal during its September 13, 2023 meeting and held a public
hearing at which two people spoke in opposition to the proposal. Both commenters cited concerns about
not knowing what the potential buildings will look like. Neighborhood impacts with traffic and parking
were also mentioned as was spot zoning. One commenter expressed support for NeighborWorks.
The definition of spot zoning found in Chapter 21A.62.040 Salt Lake City Code is worth noting. It is “the
process of singling out a small parcel of land for a use classification materially different and inconsistent
with the surrounding area and the adopted city master plan, for the sole benefit of the owner of that
property and to the detriment of the rights of other property owners.”
The Commission voted 6-2 to forward a positive recommendation to the City Council for
both the zoning map and future land use map amendments. One Commissioner who voted
against the proposed rezone and master plan amendment expressed concern a development under RMF-
30 might not fit well with the neighborhood. The other Commissioner who voted in opposition did not
state why he voted against the proposal.
In addition to the public hearing comments, Planning staff received several emails, primarily expressing
opposition to the proposal. Concerns cited included neighborhood impacts from parking and traffic, spot
zoning, and changes to the single-family neighborhood character. The Fairpark Community Council Chair
stated those attending a meeting at which the proposal was discussed were not opposed to potential density
Page | 3
but would like to know the height of the proposed homes. He also noted NeighborWorks’ commitment to
the community.
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 what an anticipated price point is for the townhomes, and if they
anticipate any of the units will be available at affordable levels.
2. The Council may wish to ask the Administration if the recently-adopted Affordable Housing
Incentives ordinance has been reviewed with the petitioner to encourage the construction of
affordable units.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The Council is only being asked to consider rezoning the property and amending the future land use map.
Because zoning of a property can outlast the life of buildings, any rezoning application should be
considered on the merits of changing the zoning of that property, not simply based on a potential project.
KEY CONSIDERATIONS
Planning staff identified five 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 – How the proposal helps implement City goals and policies identified in
adopted plans.
Planning staff reviewed Plan Salt Lake (2015) and the 1992 Northwest Community Plan. They used Plan
Salt Lake as the guiding document, given that the Northwest Community Plan is more than 30 years old
and much has changed in the city since then. That said, Planning noted two goals in the Northwest
Community Plan that are relevant today-a desire for energy efficient land uses, and high-quality urban
design. Planning found that the proposal is supported by the following initiatives found in Plan Salt Lake:
•Locate new development in areas with existing infrastructure and amenities, such as transit and
transportation corridors.
•Promote infill and redevelopment of underutilized land.
•Accommodate and promote an increase in the city’s population.
•Ensure access to affordable housing citywide (including rental and very low income).
•Increase the number of medium density housing types and options.
Consideration 2 – Master Plan Amendment
As discussed above, the Northwest Community Plan recommends energy efficient land uses, and high-
quality urban design. Planning staff found that the proposed rezone would make more efficient use of the
land by increasing density close to North Temple’s commercial corridor. In addition, RMF-30 zoning has
design standards not found in the current R-1/7,000 zoning, which would enhance the neighborhood’s
urban design. It is Planning staff’s opinion that the proposed rezone and master plan amendments align
with some goals of the Northwest Community Plan.
Consideration 3 – Housing Loss Mitigation
Page | 4
RMF-30 allows for some non-residential uses, so a housing loss mitigation application is required. The
petitioner chose the fee-based mitigation option. The existing fourplex’s value was less than replacement
value, so no fee to the housing bank is necessary.
It is worth noting that an updated housing loss mitigation ordinance was recently transmitted to the
Council Office and will be scheduled for a briefing in the coming weeks.
Consideration 4 – Existing Alley
As discussed above, the petitioner is not requesting an alley vacation, so the alley between the subject
properties will remain accessible to the public. Future development will not be allowed to encroach on the
alley unless an alley vacation is approved at some point. Because of this, a development on the subject
parcels will need to be at least two separate buildings.
Consideration 5 – Development Potential in RMF-30
The current R-1/7,000 and proposed RMF-30 zoning have similar setbacks and allowed height as shown in
the table below. One significant difference is current zoning only allows single-family detached homes
(potentially with accessory dwelling units) while the proposed zone allows a variety of housing types
including twin homes, row houses, and multi-family buildings.
In addition, RMF-30 design standards call for durable building materials, ground floor transparency, entry
features, limits on blank walls, and mechanical equipment screening not required in the R-1/7,000 zone. A
10-foot landscape buffer is required when RMF-30 zoning abuts a single-family zone. In this case, the
buffer would need to be placed on the development’s west side adjacent to single-family homes.
ZONING COMPARISON
Tables listing development standards of R-1/7,000 and RMF-30 are found on pages 5-6 of the Planning
Commission staff report. Information found in the report is replicated here for convenience.

DOCUMENT TYPE: Ordinance
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council follow the recommendation of the Planning
Commission to approve the requested zoning map and Master Plan amendments.
BUDGET IMPACT: None.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: The proposal includes a zoning map amendment to change the
zoning of the properties at approximately 803, 805, 807, & 815 W Simondi Ave and 802, 806,
810, & 814 W 300 N from R-1/7000, Single Family Residential, to RMF-30, Low Density Multi-

3) ORIGINAL PETITION
Stanbridge Project Description
NeighborWorks Salt Lake first began acquiring the seven Stanbridge Project properties located
on 800 West Street between Simondi Avenue and 300 North Street in December 2021 with the
intention of developing low density affordable housing. NeighborWorks Salt Lake has been
successfully developing affordable housing since 1977.
The Stanbridge Project properties are currently zoned as R1 7000, allowing the construction of
only seven homes. Rezoning the Stanbridge Project properties to RMF-30 would allow the
construction of up to approximately 20-plus homes. This rezoning change will require amending
the Zoning Map and changes to the following parcels:
• 08-35-404-012
• 08-35-404-013
• 08-35-404-014
• 08-35-404-015
• 08-35-258-013
• 08-35-258-014
• 08-35-258-015
• 08-35-258-016
Stanbridge Project Master Plan Amendment Request
NeighborWorks Salt Lake (NWSL) is seeking an amendment to the Future Land Use Map on page
4 of the Northwest Community Plan from Low Density Residential to Medium Density Residential.
“The goal of the Northwest Community Plan is to improve the living and working environment in
the community.” NWSL intends to help achieve this goal by converting a long-vacant, littered,
and hazardous parcel of land currently zoned R1-7000 to a vibrant community of approximately
20-plus homes designed with affordability and energy efficiency in mind.
Amending the Northwest Community Plan as requested would allow the development of the
Stanbridge Project while not altering the existing character of that corner of the neighborhood.
The Stanbridge Project is consistent with the Plan Salt Lake Guiding Principle of “access to a wide
variety of housing types for all income levels throughout the city . . .” It is also consistent with
the Growing SLC five-year housing plan (2018-2022) goal of “increasing housing opportunities
for cost-burdened households.”
NWSL has been successfully developing affordable housing since 1977. NWSL first began
acquiring Stanbridge Project properties in December 2021. Since that time, NWSL has had
numerous conversations with current residents of the area. The neighborhood is supportive and
recognizes that replacing empty lots with new, affordable, medium-density housing adds both
value and vibrancy.
In summary, the requested amendment to the Future Land Use Map on page 4 of the Northwest
Community Plan from Low Density Residential to Medium Density Residential for the vacant
parcel making up the Stanbridge Project should be approved given that the Stanbridge Project:
• Is consistent with the purposes, goals, objectives, and policies of the City as stated through
its various adopted planning documents;
• Furthers the specific purpose statements of the zoning ordinance;
• Is consistent with the purposes and provisions of any applicable overlay zoning districts
which may impose additional standards;
• Implements best current, professional practices of urban planning and design; and
• Is similar to other low to medium density projects that were previously approved and built
in this area, establishing precedent for approving comparable requests.

SUBJECT: PLNPCM2023-00194, Zoning Terms and Definitions Amendment
STAFF CONTACT: Ben Buckley, Associate Planner
benjamin.buckley@slcgov.com or 801-535-7142
DOCUMENT TYPE: Ordinance
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council adopt the changes to the zoning ordinance related
to Part VI of Title 21A and all associated amendments, as recommended by the Planning
Commission.
BUDGET IMPACT: None
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: Mayor Erin Mendenhall initiated a petition that would amend
Part VI of Title 21A of the zoning ordinance. Part VI includes the terms and definitions that are
used throughout Title 21A. The amendment includes the elimination of Chapter 21A.60, List of
Terms, and the removal and the updating of some of the definitions found in 21A.62.040. Other
amendments have been made throughout Title 21A for clarity and consistency.
Chapter 21A.60 no longer serves the intended purpose of helping readers determine what words
are defined in the zoning ordinance. At nearly 760 terms, the chapter has become impractical and
burdensome for city planners and the public. The changes in 21A.62.040 include eliminating
repetition, clarification of definitions, and the removal of unused or obsolete definitions. This
will benefit both the general public and city staff.
No zoning standards or land use regulations are impacted by this text amendment. For additional
information regarding the proposal, please refer to the Planning Commission Staff Report.

3. PETITION TO INITIATE

From: NickNorris,Planning Director
Date: March 14, 2023
Re: Amendment to related to zoningtermsanddefinitionsin Part VI of the ZoningOrdinance
The Planning Division is requesting that you initiate a zoning text amendment to Part VI General
Terms of the City Code. The amendment is to eliminate Chapter 21A.60 List of Terms and remove
and update definitions in Chapter 21A.62 Definitions.
Chapter 21A.60 is merely a list of the defined the terms in the ordinance. The chapter was originally
created to help readers determine which terms are defined. However, the list has grown to 758 terms,
making it impractical to use and burdensome for staff to manage each time a text amendment is
proposed. The Planning Division, in consultation with the Attorney’s Office, believes the chapter
provides no benefit to the city or the public and slows down text amendment processes. Thus, we
proposed to eliminate it from city code.
The changes to Chapter 21A.62 will include:
• removing terms and definitions no longer used in the code but weren’t deleted in prior text
amendments;
• correcting or clarifying definitions;
• consolidating terms that have the same definition; and,
• updatingoutdated language or definitions.
These changes may include modifications to other sections of Title 21A. Zoning ordinance for
consistency.
A public process will be conducted to gauge public input on the proposed changes and the proposal
will follow the required steps of any other text amendment, including notification to recognized
community organizations, a public hearing with the Planning Commission and a decision from City
Council.
This memo includes a signature block to initiate the petition if that is the decided course of action. If
the decided course of action is to not initiate the application, the signature block can remain blank.
Please notify the Planning Division when the memo is signed or if the decision is made to not initiate
the petition.
Please contact me at ext. 6173 or nick.norris@slcgov.com if you have any questions. Thank you.

STAFF CONTACT: Ben Buckley, Associate Planner

DOCUMENT TYPE: Ordinance
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council adopt the changes to the zoning ordinance related
to Part VI of Title 21A and all associated amendments, as recommended by the Planning
Commission.
BUDGET IMPACT: None
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: Mayor Erin Mendenhall initiated a petition that would amend
Part VI of Title 21A of the zoning ordinance. Part VI includes the terms and definitions that are
used throughout Title 21A. The amendment includes the elimination of Chapter 21A.60, List of
Terms, and the removal and the updating of some of the definitions found in 21A.62.040. Other
amendments have been made throughout Title 21A for clarity and consistency.
Chapter 21A.60 no longer serves the intended purpose of helping readers determine what words
are defined in the zoning ordinance. At nearly 760 terms, the chapter has become impractical and
burdensome for city planners and the public. The changes in 21A.62.040 include eliminating
repetition, clarification of definitions, and the removal of unused or obsolete definitions. This
will benefit both the general public and city staff.
No zoning standards or land use regulations are impacted by this text amendment. For additional
information regarding the proposal, please refer to the Planning Commission Staff Report.

3. PETITION TO INITIATE
To: Mayor Erin Mendenhall
Cc: Lisa Shaffer, Chief Administrative Officer; Blake Thomas, Department of Community and
Neighborhoods Director; Michaela Oktay, Deputy Planning Director
From: NickNorris,Planning Director
Date: March 14, 2023
Re: Amendment to related to zoningterms anddefinitions in Part VI of the Zoning Ordinance
The Planning Division is requesting that you initiate a zoning text amendment to Part VI General
Terms of the City Code. The amendment is to eliminate Chapter 21A.60 List of Terms and remove
and update definitions in Chapter 21A.62 Definitions.
Chapter 21A.60 is merely a list of the defined the terms in the ordinance. The chapter was originally
created to help readers determine which terms are defined. However, the list has grown to 758 terms,
making it impractical to use and burdensome for staff to manage each time a text amendment is
proposed. The Planning Division, in consultation with the Attorney’s Office, believes the chapter
provides no benefit to the city or the public and slows down text amendment processes. Thus, we
proposed to eliminate it from city code.
The changes to Chapter 21A.62 will include:
• removing terms and definitions no longer used in the code but weren’t deleted in prior text
amendments;
• correcting or clarifying definitions;
• consolidating terms that have the same definition; and,
• updating outdated language or definitions.
These changes may include modifications to other sections of Title 21A. Zoning ordinance for
consistency.
A public process will be conducted to gauge public input on the proposed changes and the proposal
will follow the required steps of any other text amendment, including notification to recognized
community organizations, a public hearing with the Planning Commission and a decision from City
Council.
This memo includes a signature block to initiate the petition if that is the decided course of action. If
the decided course of action is to not initiate the application, the signature block can remain blank.
Please notify the Planning Division when the memo is signed or if the decision is made to not initiate
the petition.
Please contact me at ext. 6173 or nick.norris@slcgov.com if you have any questions. Thank you.

MEMORANDUM TO CITY COUNCIL
TO: Salt Lake City Council Victoria Petro, Chair
Date: February 7, 2024
From: Cindy Lou Trishman, City Recorder
Keith Reynolds, Deputy City Recorder – GRAMA
Subject: Informational: Annual GRAMA Overview and Statistics
Introduction
The memorandum and associated briefing material provide an overview of the requirements of
the Government Records Access and Management Act (“GRAMA”). GRAMA details how the
public may access documents concerning the public’s business as well as the City’s requirement
to hold certain documents as private, controlled, or protected.
Government Records Access and Management Act (Utah Code Sections 63G-2-101 to 901)
The intent of GRAMA is to: i) promote the public’s right of easy and reasonable access to
unrestricted public records; ii) specify when the public interest in allowing restrictions on access
to records may outweigh the public’s interest in access; iii) prevent abuse of claims of
confidentiality by governmental entities by permitting confidential treatment of records only as
provided; iv) provide guidelines for both disclosures and restrictions on access to government
records; v) favor public access when, in the application of this act, countervailing interests are of
equal weight; and vi) establish fair and reasonable records management practices.
Request Procedure
Persons making a request for a record shall furnish the governmental entity with a written
request including the person’s name, mailing address, daytime telephone number and a
description of the record requested identified with reasonable specificity. GRAMA requests
received via email, the State Records Portal, City portal (GovQA), and by written letters.
The City must respond to a request within 10 business days. If a requester asks for an expedited
response, the City must respond in 5 business days. Expedited responses are determined to be the
benefit of the public rather than the person. Generally, requests from the media are presumed for
the benefit of the public.
If the City denies the request, it must provide a notice of denial to the request. The denial must
contain the following:
• A description of the record or portions of the record to which access was denied.
• Citations to the provisions of GRAMA or other law that exempt the record from
disclosure.
• A statement that the requester has the right to appeal the denial to the City’s Chief
Administrative Officer; and
• The time limits for filing an appeal, and the name and business address of the City’s
Chief Administrative Officer.
A requester has 30 calendar days to appeal a records request, and the City has 10 business days
to respond to the appeal. The requester may make a further appeal to the State Records
Committee or District.
A criminal penalty of a Class B misdemeanor can be imposed if there is intentional disclosure of
a record that shouldn’t be disclosed or if there is an intentional refusal to disclose a record that is
required by law to be disclosed.
2023 GRAMA Statistics
Salt Lake City received 15,620 GRAMA requests between January 1 and December 31, 2023.
This is a 5% decrease from the previous year, which can be attributed to citywide efforts for
transparency.
2023 Records Request Appeals
30 appeals were received in the 2023 calendar year and were directed to Rachel Otto, Chief of
Staff, as the responding authority in lieu of the CAO. Seven appeals were escalated beyond the
CAO to the State Records Committee (SRC). Of the seven, 5 were scheduled for 2023 and 2
were scheduled for 2024. Of the 5 heard in 2023, 3 were either mediated or withdrawn prior to
the hearing and 2 were heard by the SRC and upheld in favor of the City.

RE: Budget Amendment Number 4 of Fiscal Year (FY) 2024
Budget Amendment Number Four includes 20 proposed amendments, $4,464,748 in revenues and $9,248,709 in
expenditures of which $3,860,205 is from General Fund Balance and requesting changes to nine funds.
Additionally, the transmittal indicates there is an increase of three FTE’s for the Fleet Fund in A-7 Increase Fleet
Maintenance Capacity.
Tracking New Ongoing General Fund Costs for the Next Annual Budget
(See Attachment 1 at the end of this staff report)
The chart of potential new ongoing General Fund costs for the FY2025 annual budget is available as Attachment 1
and included at the end of this document. If all the items are adopted as proposed by the Administration, then the
FY2025 annual budget could have $2,253,085 of new ongoing costs. The total new ongoing costs from Budget
Amendments 1 through 4 would be $7,452,172. It’s important to note that $3.1 million of that could be covered by
the Homeless Shelter Cities Mitigation State Grant assuming the Legislature continues to appropriate sufficient
funds under the current formula and law.
Fund Balance
If all the items are adopted as proposed, then General Fund Balance would be projected at 31.73% which is
$83,247,761 above the 13% minimum target of ongoing General Fund revenues. It’s important to note that while
Fund Balance at this level is healthy the FY2025 annual budget (like the FY2024 annual budget) is anticipated to
have a relatively large structural deficit necessitating use of one-time Fund Balance. The latest revenues update
from Finance also shows that sales tax revenues are coming in about $3 million below budget.
The Administration has requested straw polls for the following items:
A-1: Air Quality Incentives Program Expansion for Electric Bikes and Indoor Air Purification ($230,000 from
Nondepartmental Holding Account and Satisfying Condition on the Funds),
A-9: Public Safety Systems ($194,540 from the IMS Fund), and
A-10: Versaterm Caser Service Software Upgrade ($203,148 from the IMS Fund)

Public Hearing: February 20, 2024
3rd Briefing: March 5, 2024 (if needed)
Potential Action: March 5 and/or March 26, 2024
The Administration indicates that revenues are trending below the initial budget projections.
At this time, Finance staff are projecting revenues to remaining consistent with current estimates for the
remainder of FY 2024. Consistent with the update provided to Council on January 16, 2024, modifications have
been made primarily to Sales Tax, resulting in a decrease of approximately $3 million.
Fund Balance Chart
The Administration’s chart below shows the current General Fund Balance figures. Fund balance has been
updated to include proposed changes for Budget Amendment #4. Based on those projections the adjusted fund
balance is projected to be at 31.73%.
A summary spreadsheet outlining proposed budget changes is attached to the transmittal. The
Administration requests that document be modified based on the decisions of the Council.
The budget opening is separated in eight different categories:
A.New Budget Items
B.Grants for Existing Staff Resources
C.Grants for New Staff Resources
D.Housekeeping Items
E.Grants Requiring No New Staff Resources
F.Donations
G.Council Consent Agenda Grant Awards
I.Council Added Items
Impact Fees Update
The Administration’s transmittal provides an updated summary of impact fee tracking. The information is current as
of 7/20/23. The table below has taken into account impact fees appropriated by the Council on August 15 as part of
the FY2024 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) . As a result, the City is on-track with impact fee budgeting to have
no refunds during all of FY2024 and FY2025. The transportation section of the City’s Impact Fees Plan was updated
in October 2020. The Administration is working on updates to the fire, parks, and police sections of the plan.

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: Air Quality Incentives Program Expansion for Electric Bikes and Indoor Air Purification
($230,000 from Nondepartmental Holding Account and Satisfying Condition on the Funds)
See pages 23 – 29 of the Administration’s transmittal for an overview of the proposed expansion.
Note: The Administration has requested a straw poll for part of this item.
The new funding is proposed to be split into two parts: $200,000 for e-bike vouchers to approximately 350 residents and
$30,000 for indoor air purification to approximately 60 households. The program would partner with five local bike shops
to supply the bikes, safety accessories, education, and basic maintenance support. The program would also partner with
the City’s Handyman and Home Repair Programs in the Housing Stability Division to provide indoor air purifiers, HVAC
filters, air quality monitors, and single burner induction cooktops. The Council approved an Air Quality Incentives
Program Coordinator FTE in the annual budget to administer the existing gas-power lawnmower exchange program and
the proposed expansion.
The table below shows proposed bike voucher amounts based on the applicant’s income and type of bike. If the Council
approves program funding, then issuing a request for proposal or RFP would be the next step. The Administration has
requested a straw poll on the e-bike portion of the program expansion.
Bike Type Standard Voucher Income-Qualified Voucher
City and Commuter $400 $1,000
Adaptive $600 $1,200
Cargo & Utility $800 $1,400
In the FY2024 annual budget, the Council put $230,000 into a Nondepartmental holding account for a potential
expansion of the City’s air quality incentives program and approved the below condition on the appropriation as part of
the budget adoption ordinance. The Council also adopted the below legislative intent identifying the Sustainability
Department as priority for a policy discussion on role clarity and updating City Code. The Council could first address the
role clarity question, so the outcome informs whether and how to expand the air quality incentives program. In prior
discussions, some Council Members expressed interest in more clearly defining the City’s role, avoiding duplication of
services between levels of government and local service providers / organizations, and recognizing the competing funding
needs of core city services. For example, on one end of the spectrum could be the City directly providing services to
residents, on the other end the City convenes and funds existing service providers to administer programs and services, or
a hybrid approach between the two.
Conditional Appropriation -- Air Quality Incentives Program
$230,000 of new ongoing funding for an expanded Air Quality Incentives Program is hereby adopted contingent
upon the Administration providing a written proposal of the program policy (such as but not limited to: income-
qualification guidelines, prioritization criteria, maximum awards by incentive type, equity considerations, and
other details) and Council approval of the program policy and goals.
Legislative Intent from the FY2024 Annual Budget Adoption Motion Sheet
Department Role Clarity in Ordinance - It is the intent of the Council to ask the Attorney’s Office to propose
updates to the City’s code that define and discuss the respective roles of City departments. This review should
include, but not be limited to, the Sustainability, Economic Development, and Public Lands Departments. Per
Council discussion, Sustainability is the priority.
$250,000 Existing Ongoing for Gas-powered Lawnmower Exchange Air Quality Incentives Program
The Council previously funded $250,000 annually over three years for a gas-powered lawnmower exchange program in
partnership with the State. Residents can choose to participate in the Call 2 Haul program for old gas-powered
lawnmowers to be picked up and recycled. The State has ended the residential component of the program to solely focus
on commercial landscaping businesses. The City has more flexibility to tailor goals and eligibility by taking on the
residential portion of the program. The Sustainability Department plans to broaden eligible incentives beyond
lawnmowers to other gas-powered lawn maintenance equipment such as weed whackers, edgers, trimmers, leaf blowers,
snowblowers, etc.
Policy Questions:
➢Department Role Clarity – The Council may wish to continue the discussion of providing role clarity and how the
Air Quality Incentives Program could follow that direction (e.g., City directly provides services to residents,
convenes and funds local organizations to administer the program, or hybrid approach).
➢E-bike Programs Provided by Other Entities – The Council may wish to ask the Administration if they have
reviewed other e-bike incentive programs offered in the Salt Lake Market to evaluate whether there is greater
efficiency partnering with those programs. Staff is aware of a program offered to all Salt Lake County residents by
the Utah Clean Air Partnership (UCAIR), as well as Utah Clean Energy (UCE).
➢Types of Air Quality Incentives – Does the Council support the proposed mix of air quality incentives (e.g., e-
bikes, indoor air purifiers, and electric yard maintenance equipment) to advance the City’s goals or are different
targeted incentives preferred? The Council may also wish to discuss how the expanded Air Quality Incentives
Program would balance indoor air quality improvements which benefit the members of the immediate household
(and where people spend most of their time) with reducing outdoor air pollution which benefits all residents and
visitors in the local airshed.
➢Air Quality Incentives Equity Considerations – The Council may wish to provide policy guidance to the
Department for how to prioritize an expanded air quality incentives programs such as outreach to support
geographic equity, the proposed income-qualified approach and amounts, limiting a maximum of two vouchers
per household, identifying at least half of the funding for low to moderate income households, focusing indoor air
quality incentives on neighborhoods with greater levels of pollution and asthma rates, etc.
A-2: Short-Term Rental Identification Software ($49,000 Ongoing from General Fund)
This budget item would purchase software and training to help the Civil Enforcement Division monitor and enforce
violations by short-term rentals that do not comply with City codes. These would include ADUs (Accessory Dwelling
Units), as well as apartments, single-family homes, and other structures. The Division worked with IMS and the
Innovations Team to identify options for software, but the software costs will be charged to Civil Enforcement as the only
entity using it. The software will allow inspectors to identify these properties more quickly and easily, saving time to be
used on other priorities. This funding includes $39,000 for the software and $10,000 for training.
A-3: WITHDRAWN
A-4: Liberty Park Greenhouse Stabilization and Entrance Gates
($31,250 from General Fund Balance for Ongoing Temporary Greenhouse Operations,
$248,015 Reappropriation of Vacancy Savings One-time to CIP for Greenhouse Repairs OR Stay in
Operational Budget for Temporary Greenhouses, and $37,110 Reappropriation of Vacancy Savings One-
time to CIP for Entrance Gates)
There are three separate appropriations proposed in this item. Two are related to the greenhouses in the center of Liberty
Park. A recently completed facility condition assessment concluded the greenhouses are significantly deteriorated and
damaged. As a result, they are closed and not being used for operations. Parts of the facilities are historic dating back to
the late 1930s and possibly earlier. $2 million is a high-level cost estimate to address the multiple issues identified in the
assessment.
The $37,110 one-time reappropriation of vacancy savings in the Public Lands Department would purchase several gates to
control afterhours access to Liberty Park. The gates would be posted at the north and south entrances as well as east and
west along the interior vehicle loop. The Historic Landmarks Commission would need to review and approve the gates.
The $31,250 from General Fund Balance is partial year funding to rent a mobile temporary office, rent underutilized
greenhouse spaces at the University of Utah to continue the native plant program, and pay related utilities. The total
annual cost that would need to be included in the FY2025 annual budget is estimated to be $62,500.
The $248,015 one-time reappropriation of vacancy savings in the Public Lands Department would be used for temporary
greenhouses (“hoop houses”), fencing, access to water, and a new transformer. The Department and Engineering Division
are currently working on a structural review of the greenhouses. The review results could change the Department’s
recommendation to use these funds for repairs to the east and west greenhouses if possible. At the time of publishing this
staff report an update was pending on which option the Administration is recommending (e.g., repairs to the greenhouses
vs temporary greenhouses) and clarification of what expenses qualify as capital expenditures in the CIP Fund.
A-5: Public Lands One-Time Budget Reallocation ($558,000 one-time of Vacancy and Attrition Savings to
Fleet Fund; $333,000 and 225,000 from Fleet Fund)
The Department of Public Lands wishes to reallocate $558,000 from attrition and vacancy savings to other expense
categories. Under this proposal, the Department would:
- transfer a one-time amount of $333,000 to the Fleet Fund for new equipment, and
- reallocate a one-time amount of $225,000 to the operations and maintenance budget to cover contracted services
through June 30, 2024.
The equipment that Public Lands wishes to purchase includes two wide-area mowers ($133,000 each) and one mini-
excavator for irrigation system repairs ($67,000). These would ensure that the regular repairs needed on their current
models do not result in unnecessary work delays. At last check, the lag between ordering and delivery of this equipment is
around 18 months.
The Department would use the remaining $225,000 to contract temporary labor to perform essential maintenance in
parks, on medians, and on right of way properties from early spring to June 30, 2024. This additional labor would relieve
the excess workloads for existing staff and ensure that new FTEs hired with additional FY24 budget are able to keep pace
with Council and public expectations.
Most of the FTEs funded in FY24 have been hired or are anticipated to be hired soon, though the Department
acknowledges ongoing challenges with recruitment and retention. It is working with the City Human Resources
Department to promote hiring through several different initiatives. Public Lands does not anticipate requesting a pay
increase for seasonal staff for FY25, which now stands at $17.85 per hour, but notes that the labor market remains highly
competitive.
A-6: Fire Station 1 Perimeter Fencing ($130,275 one-time from Fire Impact Fees as Excess Capacity
Reimbursement to the General Fund and Transfer to CIP Fund)
Fire Station 1, at 211 South 500 East, is located on the corner of 500 East and 200 South. It has one driveway that enters
the parking lot from 500 E. and another that enters from 200 S. The parking lot is not well lit and is secluded. The
location, pedestrian traffic, and access from two directions has led to many issues over the years.
- People often cut through the parking lot to get to the businesses on 500 E.
- Persons experiencing homelessness have set up camping spots in the parking lot.
- When returning to the station at night, crews have seen people running out of the parking lot on multiple
- occasions.
- Since 2019, SLC PD has opened 14 cases related to issues in the parking lot. Including vehicle theft, prowling, and
- property theft.
- Since 2018, SLC PD has responded to 45 calls at the station that were not made into active cases.
It is the Salt Lake City Fire Department’s priority to provide a safe area to conduct emergency response and for our
employees to park and secure their private property while on shift. The department believes that a gated fence to the
parking lot would assist in creating a safer area to conduct emergency responses and in preventing crime. The Facilities
Division has received estimates for installation of security fencing at the perimeter of Fire Station 1. This will
include chain link at the rear perimeter and ornamental fencing and gates at the front of the station and two access points.
Fire impact fees excess capacity is proposed to be utilized for this request. This project would be combined with the Fire
Station #1 Apparatus Bay Extension project that was fully funded in FY2024 CIP. Combing the projects might result in
less disruption to the neighborhood and potential cost savings.
A-7: Increase in Fleet Maintenance Capacity ($399,909 from General Fund Balance)
The Administration is requesting three (3) new FTE mechanics and additional funding to address immediate Fleet
maintenance needs. As identified in the transmittal, due to significant changes in the automotive industry during the
Pandemic, costs and delivery times for parts and vehicles have increased and some orders have been cancelled, resulting
in an older fleet requiring more maintenance. Fleet mechanics have been offered overtime to work longer shifts. More
vehicles have been sent to outside vendors for maintenance, and Fleet has used 73% of its maintenance budget in the first
six months of the fiscal year. As a result of these factors, the Administration indicates Fleet is unable to keep up with the
recent growth of departments and the corresponding increase of Fleet vehicles for new employees.
The full cost of a new mechanic position is $104,195 each or $312,585 annually for three new FTEs. To add the 3 new
mechanics at this time, Fleet would need the following:
3 FTE Fleet Mechanics (last 3 months FY23-24) $91,809
Education & Training – one-time $42,100
IMS Expense (software, hardware) one-time $9,000
Outside Repair – Mechanical (sublet) one-time $257,000
Total Costs to General Fund for FY2024 $399,909
Fleet indicated that they previously requested one-time budget adjustments to supplement sublet costs and has limited
the number of vehicles sent out to external vendors. This has caused increased wait times for vehicle repairs which will
continue to increase if Fleet is unable to add capacity, either with internal or external resources. Additionally, preventative
maintenance may be delayed as repairs are prioritized, potentially causing a ripple effect on fleet vehicles by deteriorating
faster and needing more intensive repairs soon.
Council staff asked if costs for outside vendor vehicle repairs are typically greater than hiring more mechanic FTEs. Fleet
indicated that to increase Fleet capacity to the same levels as the 3 FTEs would produce, Fleet would need $650,000 to
pay for outside repairs. Fleet further indicated their total annual budget (FY24) for outside vendor vehicle repairs is
$1,197,688 which was increased by 10% from FY23 to keep up with inflation.
A-8: Police Overtime Ongoing Budget Increase ($1,829,000 from General Fund Balance in FY2024 and
Ongoing in future fiscal years)
This item would double the annual ongoing overtime budget for the Police Department from $1,814,784 to $3,643,784.
This fiscal year, most of the funds would be used for “mitigation officers” which the Administration states would focus on
reducing illegal camping, park safety, and the Downtown Safety Initiative. The Department stated the increasing volume
of calls for service related to mitigation services has required increasing use of overtime this fiscal year. In particular,
overtime needs increased from calls related to the temporary sanctioned campground and from the County Health
Department requests for enhanced mitigation impact clean ups.
As of late January, the actual overtime expenses for the Police Department were nearly $2.8 million which exceeds the
$1,814,784 overtime budget line item. Vacancy savings are often used to cover overtime shifts. The Police Department has
over $7 million of unused budget lapse to General Fund Balance at the end of FY2023. The Department does not
anticipate a similarly large amount of unused budget at the end of FY2024 because of increasing overtime and progress to
reach full staffing of both sworn and civilian positions. In Budget Amendment #3, the Council recently approved
$500,000 for police officer overtime related to the temporary sanctioned campground using ARPA funds that were
budgeted but not spent in prior fiscal years.
Progress to Reach Full Staffing
The Department reports a high officer participation rate in the retention and hiring bonuses program where an $8,500
bonus is provided in exchange for a two-year employment commitment. As of February 6, there were 21 vacant sworn
officer positions and 11 vacant civilian positions. Three lateral police officer hires and seven civilian hires are in process. A
new hire academy is planned in May.
Upcoming Requests for New Police Officer FTEs
The Department states requests for new police officer FTEs are being planned. An application to the Homeless Shelter
Cities Mitigation State Grant is planned for a new squad dedicated to calls for service related to the permanent micro
shelter community at approximately 750 West and 550 South. The squad would include one sergeant and five regular
police officers. This would be like the two squads dedicated to the Miller and King Homeless Resource Centers. The same
state grant currently pays for 17.5 FTEs including the two squads. It’s important to note that the annual grant award is
subject to appropriations by the Legislature.
Policy Questions:
➢Alternative Response Programs and Mitigation Officers – The Council may wish to discuss with the
Administration how mitigation officer overtime fits into the City’s diversified public safety response approach
(police civilian response team, community health access team or CHAT, park rangers, street ambassadors,
partnership with mobile crisis outreach teams or MCOT, rapid intervention team). Over the past few years, the
Council has significantly expanded these alternative response programs so police officers can focus on more
serious crimes.
➢Available Vacancy Savings to Cover Overtime – The Council may wish to ask the Administration when Workday
entries will be completed so budget to actual reporting and available vacancy savings can be shared. Vacancy
savings could be used to fund some overtime this fiscal year instead of General Fund Balance.
➢Overtime Budget Increases vs New FTEs – The Council may wish to ask the Administration to evaluate when
increasing FTEs (civilian and sworn officers) makes sense vs increasing the ongoing overtime budget. Overtime
hourly wages cost the City more than regular hourly rates.
➢Metrics on Mitigation Calls for Service – The Council may wish to ask the Administration to provide metrics on
mitigation calls for services including how these needs have changed, where they are occurring, and diverting calls
to alternative response programs.
A-9: Mobile Phone Data Extraction Software ($194,540 from the IMS Fund Balance)
Note: The Administration has requested a straw poll for this item.
This budget request addresses the outdated and inefficient process of mobile phone data extraction used by various
departments. Currently, investigations incur staff time costs of $3,000-$6,000 per case, with additional expenses for
training and forensics-grade computers. Currently, the Police Department, Fire Department, and Human Resources all
require the ability to extract data during investigations. The existing practice has been put together to meet short-term
needs and relies on the availability of individual staff and more powerful computers than would typically be needed by the
positions who conduct investigations. The recommended solutions standardize the data extraction process and make the
software available to all positions who do investigative work. IMS reports that the recommended solution also provides
better security for the personal data extracted. The software is intended to be more compatible with what’s used by other
law enforcement and judicial partners, like the District Attorney’s Office, which enables the City to work more securely
and collaboratively when sharing information.
A-10 -Versaterm Case Service Software Upgrade ($203,148 from the IMS Fund Balance)
Note: The Administration has requested a straw poll for this item
This request is for an improved case service solution for the Police Department, replacing the current Coplogic online
reporting system. The FY2024 budget included $48,954 for a new case service program, but implementation couldn't
begin until after case management was moved to the cloud. Since the original quote, the vendor has added more features
and improvements to the software, resulting in the $203,148 cost. Since the new features include enhancements that will
be beneficial to multiple departments, like Dispatch and Fire, the general fund will see a reduction of $48,954 while the
full cost will be allocated from IMS Fund Balance. Enhancements include public availability in multiple languages, and a
phone tree to better direct calls to the non-emergency line. This software provides the public with options to report an
issue via phone, app, or web browser, as opposed to the existing solution that was only available online.
The Department has requested a straw poll for this item. The vendor currently has a yearlong waitlist but based on Salt
Lake City’s prior relationship and commitment to the software, is willing to begin implementation this fiscal year if funds
are committed.
A-11: Replacing Two Traffic Signals Damaged in Accidents ($250,000 one-time from General Fund
Balance)
Traffic signals at two separate intersections in the City have been damaged by non-city vehicles. (Gladiola and California
signals were damaged by a semi-truck roll over; 200 West 100 South signals were damaged by a grade-all forklift hitting
the mast arm and spinning the pole foundation.) The damage is severe enough that they cannot be repaired by our
inhouse technicians. Street’s staff has obtained quotes for the repairs needed from our contracted vendor. This work will
ultimately be paid for by the insurance companies of the outside entities who caused the damage. However, Risk has
informed us that best practice is for the repairs to be managed by the City, and then to be reimbursed by the insurance
companies. This will ensure the City receives full compensation for the damages as the total cost will only be known after
the work is complete. Public Services does not have sufficient funding in our budget to cover the cost of repairs. No long-
term impact to the general fund is expected as, once the work is completed, Risk will seek reimbursement from the
insurance companies, and the money will go back to the general fund. The timing of this reimbursement is unknown and
may not be in the same fiscal year as the expenditures are incurred. This request is for $250,000 which includes a 10%
contingency on the quotes that we have received. This is a replacement only - no design necessary; no upgrade and no
addition to be made and is not a CIP project.
A-12: Medical 911 Dispatch Software Change to Improve Response Times ($165,793 one-time from the
Emergency 911 Dispatch Fund or E-911 Fund)
The 911 Department is requesting one-time funds to change the medical dispatch protocol equipment and processes which
is expected to improve response times. It’s important to note that on an annual basis the Department already exceeds the
industry best practice for 90% of 911 calls to be answered within 10 seconds. This software change is expected to improve
the time a call is in queue waiting for sufficient information before it can be dispatched.
The Association of Public-safety Communications Officials or APCO IntelliComm EMD Protocol is used by the Valley
Emergency Communications Center or VECC. The City’s 911 Department and VECC already use the same computer aided
dispatch or CAD systems but do not use the same medical protocol. This item would further integrate a more seamless
handoff between the agencies when a call for service needs to be transferred. The CAD system can only use one medical
protocol. This means that a dispatch must take additional time to change a call to fit the parameters in each dispatch
center’s medical protocol before help can be dispatched. The 911 Department and VECC are responsible for providing
emergency dispatch services in the Salt Lake Valley.
The Utah Legislature directed the Utah Communications Authority to help create a “unified statewide 911 emergency
services network” and “coordinate the development of an interoperable computer aided dispatch platform.” This item
would advance this state goal. This item is also a follow up to findings from a 2019 performance audit of the 911
Department that recommended continued use of standardized script-based software but noted the current medical
dispatch ProQA software scored poorly on public safety service provider feedback assessments.
The E-911 Fund revenues come from a 911 excise tax paid on phone bills. The E-911 Fund has its own Fund Balance
(savings account) that ended FY2023 with approximately $5.2 million. This fund has provided several software and
hardware upgrades for the Department in recent years.
A-13: Outside Legal Counsel for the City Attorney’s Office ($250,000 one-time from General Fund
Balance)
This is a request from the City Attorney’s Office for a one-time appropriation of $250,000 from General Fund Balance to
hire outside counsel to handle items where the Attorney’s Office needs additional or specialized expertise or where the
Attorney’s Office is recused.

Section D: Housekeeping
D-1: Creating a Planning & Design Division in the Public Lands Department and Reclassifying an FTE to
be the Appointed Division Director (Budget Neutral in FY2024 Using Vacancy Savings)
This is a follow up from Budget Amendment #2 when the request was originally proposed. In that budget opening, the
Council transferred four existing landscape architects from the Engineering Division in the Public Services Department to
the Public Lands Department and increased the pay grade to 34 for the existing Planning Manager merit position. The
Department is requesting approval for the remaining part of the proposal to create a new division called the Planning and
Design Division and convert the Planning Manager position to be an appointed division director position at pay grade 35.
Vacancy savings would be used to cover the increased compensation for the new division director for the remainder of
FY2024. The next annual budget would need to include $12,113 ongoing for the position. This item would also amend the
Appointed Pay Plan to add the new division director.
The new division would include the new appointed director, four landscape architects transferred in Budget Amendment
#2 (one Senior Landscape Architect (Grade 34), two Landscape Architect IIIs (Grade 30), and one Landscape Architect II
(Grade 27)), and two project managers currently in the Public Lands Department.
The Attorney's Office is working on an amendment to City Code Chapter 2.08 Administrative Organization that is
expected later this year. It would update the sections for Public Lands and Public Services to reflect the responsibilities
being transferred along with the FTEs. It’s part of a larger update that the Attorney’s Office is already working on for the
Chapter. A legal best practice is for divisions and associated responsibilities is to be listed by department in this section of
City Code.
D-2: Ongoing Landfill Projects Pass-through Revolving Fund for Module 8 ($1 Million One-time in the
CIP Fund)
The landfill unallocated CIP account has been receiving revolving funds for various ongoing landfill projects. The funds
placed in the account are applied to individual projects and then reimbursed to the General Fund. Module 8 is the next
step in the series of landfill modules where refuse will be placed. It is needed to continue the expansion of the landfill to
accommodate ongoing growth. Module 8 is approximately 40 acres and has a clay liner and HDPE welded liner
underneath to protect the groundwater from the landfill leachate. There have been change orders to Module 8 that require
the fund to be replenished. This reimbursable fund also needs to be in place for current and future projects on a revolving
basis.
Public Services’ Engineering Finance bills the County after services are provided. This is a pass-through cost that used to
reside under Waste and Recycling but has since been moved to Engineering. Since Engineering oversees the
improvements, it was determined that Public Services should process the pass-through costs as well.
D-3: Parking Garage Loan Pass-through Funds for Debt Service Payment on State Infrastructure Bond
($1.1 Million One-time from the General Fund to the Debt Service Fund)
This is a housekeeping item related to the State Infrastructure Bond repayment. This item is to transfer the $1.1M received
from the State to the Debt Service Fund, to support the approximate $7 million State Infrastructure Bond for the
construction of a parking garage.

G-1: Bloomberg Philanthropies Wake the Great Salt Lake ($1,000,000 from Misc. Grants Fund)
Salt Lake City applied for a grant with Bloomberg Philanthropies. The grant aims to educate and inspire residents and
visitors to identify possible solutions and take action locally and nationally. Public art projects will be structured around
major themes such as water conservation, air quality, agriculture, industry, environmental and social justice, including
indigenous rights and lake ecology. Salt Lake City's proposed project consists of 1) a series of 3-5 significant artworks
created by world-renowned artists across the city. These artists will be selected to leverage their notoriety and practice
while bringing awareness to our civic issues. 2) a series of temporary public art projects by local and regional artists and
organizations in various disciplines, including but not limited to performers, sculptors, painters, muralists, printmakers,
filmmakers, poets, new media, etc. By commissioning our local community of artists to create context and site-specific
artworks about the Great Salt Lake, our local community will be able to reflect on this crisis in new and compelling ways.
Bloomberg Philanthropies is awarding the City $1,000,000 to fund the two-year public art project, Wake the Great Salt
Lake. Salt Lake City will be providing a match of $1,060,000 with in-kind staff time and other grant funding. A public
hearing was held on April 18, 2023.
G-2: State of Utah Increase Homeless Mitigation Grant ($216,439.66 from Misc. Grants Fund
The State has given the City an increase for the Homeless Mitigation grant. As a reminder, the City was awarded
$3,107,201 for FY 2024. This award was for 1) Public Safety staff, program supplies, equipment, and vehicle maintenance,
2) Two sub-awards for Volunteers of America and Downtown Alliance, and 3) two HEART Coordinators, a Case Manager,
half the salary of a grant’s person along with training, travel, and program supplies. Due to the City hosting overflow beds,
the City will receive additional funds for FY 24. In total, the City will receive $650,000. Two-thirds of that funding will go
directly to shelter providers. The City will retain $216,439.66, which is required to be put toward public safety. This money
will be used for PD overtime in the Rio Grande area around the new Temporary Shelter Community. The original grant
was approved as part of Budget Amendment No. 2 on 10/17/23.
Section I: Council-Added Items
I-1: Placeholder for Potential Funding to Buyback Single-family Homes with Right of First Refusal
($TBD)
This is a placeholder item pending upcoming information about the potential to buyback properties in the City’s first-time
homebuyer program and possibly adding them to the Community Land Trust.

Salt Lake City FY 2023-24 Budget Amendment #4 - Revised
Initiative Number/Name Fund Amount
1
Section A: New Items
A-1: Air Quality Incentives
Program Sustainability $230,000.00
Department: Sustainability Prepared By: Angie Nielsen
For questions, please include Debbie Lyons, Angie Nielsen
Sustainability proposed the creation of a new Air Quality Community Incentives Program for the FY 2024 budget and
requested $230,000 to expand the incentives beyond landscaping equipment to include e-bikes, indoor air purifiers,
HVAC filters, and other items to help improve air quality in the community and indoors. The City Council supported
creation of the program but requested that Sustainability provide a written proposal of the program policy and goals
before releasing funds for the additional incentives. Sustainability recently hired the new FTE approved in FY 2024 and
has been working on program design.
This budget amendment serves to provide a description of the proposed program and to request additional funding which
is needed for Sustainability to move forward with soliciting RFPs, the next critical step in program development. Below is a
description of the proposed program. Sustainability is in the process of compiling a separate document detailing the Air
Quality Incentives Program Plan, which will be made available to the City Council before the Budget Amendment is
briefed. The Department is also currently working with Purchasing on the RFP scope of work but are awaiting budget
approval before finalizing and releasing the RFP.
1) E-BIKE PROGRAM ($200,000)
Sustainability has collaborated with other City Departments to design the program application, back-end system for the
vouchers, the procurement process, and logos and branding design. Sustainability has also met with several local bike
shops to get their input on the anticipated program design and contract process. To meet the goal of a Spring launch, it is
crucial that an RFP be published as soon as possible so the suppliers can be selected, contracts prepared, and the
implementation details finalized. The department anticipates:
-Working with up to five bike shops with physical storefronts in Salt Lake City to serve as suppliers for the program.
- Vouchers will be made available for cargo bikes ($800 standard voucher/$1,400 income-qualified voucher), commuter
bikes ($400 standard/$1,000 income-qualified), and adaptive bikes ($600 standard/$1,200 income-qualified). Off-road
bikes will not be eligible. Higher voucher amounts will be available for income-qualified applicants. Discounts will be
applied at the time of purchase. 50% of program funds will be reserved for low-income vouchers.
-Assuming most applicants select commuter bikes, and 50% of the funds go to low-income applicants, approximately 350
vouchers could be distributed.
-Suppliers will be expected to provide a discount on bike safety accessories (helmets, lights, locks, etc), help educate
customers on bike safety and etiquette, provide test rides, and provide basic maintenance support.
2) INDOOR AIR QUALITY ($30,000)
The department will work with the Housing Stability Division’s Handyman and Home Repair Programs to distribute high-
efficiency HVAC filters, air purifiers, and single burner induction cooktops to homeowners served by these programs.
Sustainability anticipates reaching approximately 60 homes. This program will also include an educational component to
help residents understand how to improve indoor air quality in their homes, such as brochures and in-person
consultations. Air quality monitors may also be included as a tool to help residents become aware of how routine activities
impact indoor air quality.
Sustainability has asked that the E-Bike portion of this item be straw polled to move the RFP process forward. Please
reference the attached documents for a program overview.

A-2: Short-Term Rental
Identification Software
GF $49,000.00
Department: CAN Prepared By: Antonio Padilla / Ken Anderson
For questions, please include Antonio Padilla, Ken Anderson, Blake Thomas, Tammy Hunsaker and
Brent Beck
On April 4th, 2023, the City Council approved significant updates to the ADU ordinance. With this ordinance, the council
desires to properly monitor and enforce ADUs used as short-term rentals that are non-compliant with city codes.
To properly monitor permitted ADUs and ensure compliance, the city would like to contract with a company to identify
rental properties used and marketed as short-term rentals accurately. Inspectors are tasked with sifting through large
amounts of data to identify a potential non-compliant property manually. It is necessary to implement this strategy as
soon as possible to use our resources more efficiently.
CAN has coordinated with IMS and the Innovations Team prior to the decision to move forward with an amendment
request. However, since this software is specific to Civil Enforcement, the decision was made to house the budget in CAN
instead of IMS.
The anticipated annual cost of the short-term rental software is $39,000 per year, with a 3-year agreement. Keeping up
with the latest enforcement trends is necessary by sending our inspectors for training annually for short-term rental and
code enforcement. The cost of training would be approximately $10,000. The total amount needed is $49,000 annually.

CIP $285,125.00
Department: Public Lands Prepared By: Toby Hazelbaker
For questions, please include Kristin Riker, Toby Hazelbaker and Gregg Evans
The Department of Public Lands is requesting a budget amendment for Liberty Park needs totaling $316,375. A $285,125
portion of this is slated for one-time use to address the greenhouse and gates CIP needs discussed in the narrative below.
This one-time portion will come from this fiscal year’s Public Lands vacancy and attrition savings which will be transferred
to CIP for project completion. The remaining $31,250 is being requested from the general fund balance for ongoing costs
at Liberty Park. The breakdown of all $316,375 in costs is contained in the table below.
Ongoing Costs Greenhouse Costs $31,250
One-time Greenhouse Costs $248,015
One-time Gate Costs $37,110
Total Costs to General Fund for FY 2024 $316,375
The first request is to aid in the displacement of staff and operations at the Liberty Park Greenhouse due to a recent
facilities condition assessment that has deemed the greenhouse to be unsafe for City employees. The second is for the
purchase of gates to block roads at Liberty Park, due to increased after-hours cars entering the park.
Greenhouse –In October 2023, Public Lands received a Facility Condition Assessment contracted by the Facilities
Division within Public Services. The assessment identified several concerns, and that structurally, the main house, the
south green house and the concrete deck over the underground garage are severely damaged. Staff and operations are no
longer using this facility and the department is working on a temporary solution to accommodate operations while design
and construction of a new facility is worked out. An FY 2025 CIP application will be submitted for design and to create
construction documents for the mitigation and repairs of the facility. Public Lands and Engineering are currently working
to secure a contractor for a structural review of the site. Depending on the outcome of that review, the current request for

funding could be used in one of two ways. The first and most desirable will be to make repairs to the East greenhouse (the
West greenhouse and office area are very unlikely to be eligible for repair). The second option will be to purchase hoop
houses for the annual plants, fencing to protect the temporary greenhouses, access to water, and to supply power with a
new transformer. The current transformer is near capacity and cannot serve this temporary solution. The new transformer
will be used for the greenhouse once mitigation or reconstruction is complete in either option. The Department is
requesting funds to rent a mobile office with restrooms for the staff based out of the greenhouse.The one-time
amount requested has been calculated to cover the cost of the hoop house option, as the structural review
is not complete.
SLC Trails and Natural Lands will rent underutilized greenhouse space at University of Utah to maintain the native plant
program. The City will provide learning opportunities in plant propagation and production, and native plants, for
University students.
Liberty Park Gates –The open road into Liberty Park is leading to significant afterhours activity. This includes vehicle
camping, the sale of drugs, vandalism (wire is being pulled from light posts by attaching the wire to vehicle bumpers), and
other crime. In addition, many vehicles remain on site through the night after closing hours. As both Code Enforcement
and Police increase efforts to secure the park at closing time, without locked gates, it is not feasible to fully achieve.
Exterior gates to the main park loop (both north and south locations) will control vehicle access to the park after hours,
where interior gates along the interior loop (both east and west) will help control parking problems as well as late evening
vandalism, unpermitted events and illegal event parking issues in the future. The gates selected are simple, stock, tube-
steel, black-painted, manual swinging and hand-locked. The historic preservation group is satisfied with the proposed
solution.

$225,000.00
GF - Use of Vacancy & Attrition

$333,000.00
Fleet $333,000.00
Department: Public Lands Prepared By: Gregg Evans
For questions, please include Kristin Riker and Gregg Evans
The Public Lands Department is requesting a budget amendment to reallocate $558,000 as a one-time move of funds from
the department’s existing personnel budget generated by attrition and vacancy savings to other operational expense
categories. The Department is proposing to transfer a one-time amount of $333,000 to the Fleet Fund to order critical
operational equipment for redundancy purposes, and to reallocate a one-time amount of $225,000 to the operations and
maintenance budget to cover one-time contracted services. This item does not include a requested allocation from general
fund fund balance.
The $333,000 request mentioned above is to procure two (2) additional mowers and an excavator. The large-area mower
is in regular use in the Parks division. Mowers range in age from 2010 to 2019, with a median age of 8.5 years where the
average retirement age for these mowers is 10 years. At one point during the 2023 season, four of eight wide-area mowers
were out of service, and it is not uncommon to have two or three units out of service at any time. Irrigation repairs are
another constant in the Parks Division. Staff utilize mini excavators to dig up and repair lines. When this aging excavator
equipment fails, there are increased delays in repairing leaks and breaks and a greater chance of dead trees, turf, and
shrubs. Based on the latest bids for this equipment the ordering lead time was around 18 months. With lead times this far
out, ordering this equipment now will significantly accelerate the purchasing process and delivery of equipment.
The $225,000 request mentioned above is to address staff challenges. Hiring full and part-time positions has become
increasingly challenging for the Public Lands Department, which has generated attrition and vacancy savings this year.
When positions are not filled, a backlog of work accumulates. The Department is proposing to utilize contracted labor in

this instance to maintain continuity of operations and relieve workloads for existing staff. Without contracted labor,
essential maintenance functions cannot be performed as expected by the public and the Council.
A-6: Fire Station 1 Fencing Impact Fees $130,275.00
CIP $130,275.00
Department: Public Services and
Fire
Prepared By: JP Goates / Michael Fox
For questions, please include JP Goates, Kimberley Schmeling, Michael Fox, Jorge Chamorro and Karl
Lieb
Fire Station 1, at 211 South 500 East, is located on the corner of 500 East and 200 South. It has one driveway that enters
the parking lot from 500 E. and another that enters from 200 S. The parking lot is not well lit and is secluded. The
location, pedestrian traffic, and access from two directions has led to many issues over the years.
• People often cut through the parking lot to get to the businesses on 500 E.
• Persons experiencing homelessness have set up camping spots in the parking lot.
• When returning to the station at night, crews have seen people running out of the parking lot on multiple
occasions.
• Since 2019, SLC PD has opened 14 cases related to issues in the parking lot. Including vehicle theft, prowling, and
property theft.
• Since 2018, SLC PD has responded to 45 calls at the station that were not made into active cases.
It is the Salt Lake City Fire Department’s priority to provide a safe area to conduct emergency response and for our
employees to park and secure their private property while on shift. The department believes that a gated fence to the
parking lot would assist in creating a safer area to conduct emergency responses and in preventing crime.
The Facilities Division has received estimates for installation of security fencing at the perimeter of Fire Station 1. This will
include chain link at the rear perimeter and ornamental fencing and gates at the front of the station and two access points.
Fire impact fees excess capacity is proposed to be utilized for this request.
A-7: Increase Fleet Maintenance
Capacity
GF $348,809.00
GF $51,100.00
Fleet $348,809.00
Fleet 42,100.00
IMS 9,000.00
Department: Public Services Prepared By: Julie Crookston / Jorge Chamorro
For questions, please include Jorge Chamorro, Julie Crookston, Kimberley Schmeling, Denise Sorensen
and Nancy Bean
For the last several years the Fleet division has been extremely conservative in its budget requests as leadership was
determining how Fleet maintenance needs had changed due to the long-lasting impacts of the pandemic. The pandemic
caused drastic changes to the automotive industry, such as increased costs and delivery time for parts and vehicles, with
some vehicle orders being completely cancelled. These issues have resulted in an older fleet that has more maintenance
needs at the same time the size of the fleet has increased as departments grow. Additionally, there were drastic changes to
vehicle usage during the pandemic, which are now showing lasting consequences. All these factors have necessitated
creative measures to maintain adequate Fleet services.
During the FY 2024 budget process, the department was hopeful it could continue to maintain its level of services for one
more year with the intention to ask for more resources during the FY 2025 budget process. However, this approach is no
longer sufficient. Fleet has been sending more and more vehicles to outside vendors for repairs, i.e. sublet and offering

overtime to existing mechanics, such that 73% of the budget for those items has already been used while only half the year
has elapsed. Additionally, multiple departments in the City have experienced operational impacts due to the slow
turnaround of vehicles. Unless more resources are dedicated to increased Fleet maintenance capacity, turnaround time for
vehicles will continue to increase, causing City operations to be adversely affected as City employees are unable to perform
their work without a vehicle.
Three new mechanics (FTEs) and minimal sublet funding are being requested. The total amount needed for this request
will be $399,909. An amount of $9,000 is also included for IMS to provide the necessary hardware and software for each
new hire. A detailed breakdown of expenses is outlined below.
Fleet Mechanics (3 FTE)–on-going $91,809
Education & Training –one-time $42,100
IMS Expense (software, hardware) one-time $9,000
Outside Repair –Mechanical (sublet) one-time $257,000
Total Costs to General Fund for FY 2024 $399,909
Adding three (3) new mechanics to the Fleet shop would increase capacity in the long term such that Fleet could maintain
service levels while utilizing normal amounts of sublet and overtime funding. The original intent was to request these FTEs
in the upcoming budgetary process; however, fleet maintenance capacity needs to be increased more quickly. It is
anticipated that these mechanics could be hired between February and March, but until then, Fleet will need to continue
subletting at the increased rates utilized so far this year.
A-8: Police Clean Neighborhoods
Teams
GF $1,829,000.00
Department: Police Prepared By: Shellie Dietrich
For questions, please include Shellie Dietrich and Chief Brown
The Salt Lake City Police Department is requesting $1,829,000 to staff officers (hereby referred to as “mitigation
officers”), on overtime, as part of the City’s ongoing efforts to reduce illegal camping, improve park safety, and to enforce
the Department’s Downtown Safety Initiative (DSI).
Currently, the Department is utilizing two (2) full-time sergeants to coordinate and manage mitigation officers working on
overtime focused on enforcing the law, prioritizing public safety, and reducing victimization while simultaneously
demonstrating compassion and empathy for the city’s unsheltered community.
Due to the sheer volume of calls for service and current staffing levels, the Department does not have the available
resources that can be dedicated for mitigation services without the use of overtime.
In October 2023, with the increase of shelter bed availability, the Department increased the number of mitigation officers,
utilizing overtime from both ARPA grant funding and general fund. These mitigation officers are primarily assigned
around the “Temporary Shelter Community” (TSC) in the Rio Grande District but may assist, as needed, in other areas
within the City. Within the TSC, a private contractor provides security 24/7 for operational needs. If there is a call for
police services, SLCPD officers would respond. The mitigation officers, in addition to regular proactive patrol work, are
frequently requested by the Salt Lake County Health Department to assist with enhanced mitigation impact clean ups.
Due to fluctuation in officer availability for mitigation overtime shifts and delays in the Department’s staffing retention
program, the Department had unspent budget in FY23 from vacancy savings. However, the Department does not
anticipate having a large budget savings at the end of FY24 due to its increase in hiring and other financial needs including
coverage for patrol calls for service and increased staffing needs for public order events, that may be covered using FY24
vacancy savings.
For the remainder of FY24 and FY25, the Department will need to rely on overtime funding to staff mitigation officers,
especially during the summer months when the City’s unsheltered population historically increases as the number of

shelter beds decreases with the emergency winter shelters closing. The Department anticipates, and is planning for,
additional FTEs for the Department to sustain its mitigation efforts.
In the future, the Department intends to request additional officers for one (1) sergeant and five (5) officers. This squad
will be similar to the Department’s Homeless Resource Center squads but will have a responsibility area that includes the
future home of the state’s Micro Community Shelter (MCS). The MCS will qualify as a Tier 1 shelter, and is expecte d to be
located on 700 West, just south of Interstate 80. This squad will only be a portion of the needed staffing as it will only
cover four-10-hour days out of seven-24-hour periods. The phased deployment will coincide with hiring and training of
new officers. Full implementation of the grant funded squad is expected within 15-18 months.
A-9: Public Safety Systems
Software
IMS $194,540.00
Department: Police /IMS Prepared By: Shellie Dietrich / Aaron Bentley
For questions, please include Aaron Bentley, Shellie Dietrich, Joseph Anthony and Gloria Cortes
This request is for a software solution that provides investigative tools for accessing and extracting electronic data from
cell phones, offered by Cellebrite. The current process is very labor and resource intensive. This software will provide the
needed tools and reduces costs to IMS in the PC replacement program and software staff.
The capability for Police and Fire investigators to utilize data extraction for case investigations is very limited. The current
software solution is not functional on the computers that these positions have, which is creating extensive delays in
investigations and case resolution. Without this software upgrade, IMS would need to replace currently existing computers
with computers that have additional functionality, including more robust storage, and better video and graphic cards.
Police has worked closely with IMS in determining the best long-term solution, leading to this recommendation. The
amount requested to support this need is $194,540 in ongoing cost.
A-10: Versaterm Case Service GF ($48,954.00)
IMS $203,148.00
Department: Police / IMS Prepared By: Shellie Dietrich / Aaron Bentley
For questions, please include Aaron Bentley, Shellie Dietrich, Joseph Anthony and Gloria Cortes
This request is for Versaterm Case Service. Versaterm is the records management system (RMS) and computer aided
design (CAD) system utilized by public safety. Case Services is a versaterm product that integrates with the RMS/CAD. It
provides an online reporting solution for the community to report non-emergency calls for service online.They’re
provided with a case number and routed to the proper area for response. This is a software upgrade that is now required
with the Versaterm upgrade to 8.1 that has significant enhancements efficiencies and will provide efficiencies for the
public safety departments within the city and improved customer service for the community. This upgrade provides
enhanced online reporting including NIBRs data collection and validation and case auto-transcription of general offense
reports of non-emergency incident entered through Case Service Reporting. It streamlines the process of receiving reports
from Loss Prevention / Shoplift departments with a reporting process for big box retailers. Also significant improvements
were made to the Case Service dashboard to provide better insight into quantities, types, and status of all Case Service
submissions. This software also provides a phone tree for non-emergency calls to public safety.
A-11: Outside Traffic Signal
Repair
GF $250,000.00
Department: Public Services Prepared By: Julie Crookston
For questions, please include Julie Crookston, Jorge Chamorro, Mark Stephens
Traffic signals at two separate intersections in the City have been damaged by non-city vehicles. (Gladiola and California
signals were damaged by a semi-truck roll over; 200 West 100 South signals were damaged by a grade-all forklift hitting
the mast arm and spinning the pole foundation.) The damage is severe enough that they cannot be repaired by our in-
house technicians. Street’s staff has obtained quotes for the repairs needed from our contracted vendor. This work will
ultimately be paid for by the insurance companies of the outside entities who caused the damage. However, Risk has
informed us that best practice is for the repairs to be managed by the City,and then to be reimbursed by the insurance
Salt Lake City FY 2023-24 Budget Amendment #4 - Revised
Initiative Number/Name Fund Amount
7
companies. This will ensure the City receives full compensation for the damages as the total cost will only be known after
the work is complete. Public Services does not have sufficient funding in our budget to cover the cost of repairs. No long-
term impact to the general fund is expected as, once the work is completed, Risk will seek reimbursement from the
insurance companies, and the money will go back to the general fund. The timing of this reimbursement is unknown and
may not be in the same fiscal year as the expenditures are incurred. This request is for $250,000 which includes a 10%
contingency on the quotes that we have received.
This is a replacement only - no design necessary; no upgrade and no addition to be made and is not a CIP.

911 Comm $165,793.00
Department: 911
Communications
Prepared By: Lisa Kehoe
For questions, please include Lisa Kehoe, Megan Dickerson and Sandee Moore
The City needs to match existing medical dispatch protocol equipment and processes currently being used by the Salt Lake
Valley Emergency Communications Center (“VECC”). (Salt Lake City Code subsection 3.24.160(1)(b))-The City’s
continued use of ProQA’s dispatching software would also not be conducive to accomplishing the shared CAD
requirements expressed by the legislature because continued use of different dispatching protocols, not only slows the
City’s dispatch responses down but also hinders dispatch process es throughout Salt Lake County. The Versaterm CAD can
only use one medical protocol and the fact that the City and VECC currently use different medical protocols creates
unnecessary complications that arise when a 911 call needs to be transferred between the City and VECC. In such
situations each agency must take time to change the call to fit the parameters in each dispatch center’s medical protocol
before help can be dispatched. By contracting with APCO for medical dispatch services, the City can achieve a genuinely
interoperable common CAD system that will eliminate delays in time, allow for the inefficient use of resources, and ease
the continuity gaps that currently arise when calls are transferred between dispatch centers. If the department doesn’t
move forward with this new equipment, it will be forced to continue with the existing equipment that is inefficient and
renew the old contract. The costs shown are all one-time expenditures. Once implemented, the department will have the
ability to train its staff members instead of outsourcing through another agency. If industry standards require an update to
the protocols, those will not be an additional accrued cost. Funding will come from the E911 fund, which has a fund
balance of $5,256,661 as of June. Please see the attached document for further detail.

Salt Lake City FY 2023-24 Budget Amendment #4 - Revised
Initiative Number/Name Fund Amount
8
For questions, please include Kristin Riker, Tyler Murdock and Gregg Evans
In FY2024 BA2, Public Lands requested to move four (4) full-time landscape architect positions to Public Lands
Department. This was in response to the urgency and high expectations that the City and the public have regarding the
100+ existing parks, trails, and open space capital projects, and particularly the dozens of high profile projects from 2022's
Sales Tax Revenue Bond and General Obligation (or GO) Bond. The request included the creation of a Division with a
Division Director to oversee and facilitate immediate and efficient project delivery.
BA2 was left open with the intent to revisit the request to create an appointed Division Director position. At this time, the
Department of Public Lands is requesting a FY24 $0 housekeeping budget amendment to reclassify the Public Lands
Department's Planning Manager position (Grade 33) to an appointed Planning & Design Division Director (Grade 35). The
cost difference will be made up by the Department's FY 23/24 budget's vacancy savings and the ongoing funding will be
included in the department’s general budget request in the following fiscal year (FY 24/25).
The updated appointed pay plan provided by HR is also included to reflect this change.
D-2: Ongoing Landfill Projects CIP $1,000,000.00
Department: Public Services Prepared By: JP Goates, Mark Stephens
For questions, please include JP Goates, Kimberley Schmeling, Mark Stephens and Jorge Chamorro
The landfill unallocated CIP account has been receiving revolving funds for various ongoing landfill projects. The funds
placed in the account are applied to individual projects and then reimbursed to the General Fund. Module 8 is the next
step in the series of landfill modules where refuse will be placed. It is needed to continue the expansion of the landfill to
accommodate ongoing growth. Module 8 is approximately 40 acres and has a clay liner and HDPE welded liner
underneath to protect the groundwater from the landfill leachate. There have been change orders to Module 8 that require
the fund to be replenished. This reimbursable fund also needs to be in place for current and future projects on a revolving
basis.
Public Services’ Engineering Finance bills the County after services are provided. This is a pass-through cost that used to
reside under Waste and Recycling but has since been moved to Engineering. Since Engineering oversees the
improvements, it was determined that Public Services should process the pass-through costs as well.

This is a housekeeping item related to the State Infrastructure Bond repayment. This item is to transfer the $1.1M received
from the State to the Debt Service Fund, to support the approximate $7m State Infrastructure Bond for the construction of
a parking garage.

Misc. Grants $1,000,000.00
Department: Salt Lake City Arts
Council (ED)
Prepared By: Felicia Baca; Amy Dorsey
Salt Lake City applied for a grant with Bloomberg Philanthropies. The grant aims to educate and inspire residents and
visitors to identify possible solutions and take action locally and nationally. Public art projects will be structured around
major themes such as water conservation, air quality, agriculture, industry, environmental and social justice- including
indigenous rights and lake ecology. Salt Lake City's proposed project consists of 1) a series of 3-5 significant artworks
created by world-renowned artists across the city. These artists will be selected to leverage their notoriety and practice
while bringing awareness to our civic issues. 2) a series of temporary public art projects by local and regional artists and
organizations in various disciplines, including but not limited to performers, sculptors, painters, muralists, printmakers,
filmmakers, poets, new media, etc. By commissioning our local community of artists to create context and site-specific
artworks about the Great Salt Lake, our local community will be able to reflect on this crisis in new and compelling ways.
Bloomberg Philanthropies is awarding the City $1,000,000 to fund the two-year public art project, Wake the Great Salt
Lake.
Salt Lake City will be providing a match of $1,060,000 with in-kind staff time and other grant funding.
A public hearing was held on April 18, 2023.

Prepared By: Michelle Hoon; Amy Dorsey
The State has given the City an increase for the Homeless Mitigation grant. As a reminder, the City was awarded
$3,107,201 for FY 2024. This award was for 1) Public Safety staff, program supplies, equipment, and vehicle maintenance,
2) Two sub-awards for Volunteers of America and Downtown Alliance, and 3) 2 HEART Coordinators, a Case Manager,
half the salary of a grant’s person along with training, travel,and program supplies.
Due to the City hosting overflow beds, the City will receive additional funds for FY 24. In total, the City will receive
$650,000. 2/3 of that money will go directly to shelter providers. The City will retain $216,439.66, which is required to be
put toward public safety. This money will be used for PD overtime in the Rio Grande area around the new Temporary
Shelter Community.
A public hearing was held for the Homeless Mitigation Grant on September 19, 2023.

Clean Air SLC Initiative
The Sustainability Department is developing Clean Air SLC, an initiative that aims to distribute
equipment and information to help residents improve air quality in their communities and inside their
homes.Clean Air SLC will distribute resources through three incentive programs: E-Bike Rebates, Indoor
Air Quality Tools, and Electric Yard Care Equipment.
The City Council supported the creation of an Air Quality Incentives Program during the Citywide FY24
budget process. Budget was appropriated to continue offering Electric Yard Care Equipment exchanges
and hire a new full-time employee (FTE) to help design and administer a more comprehensive Air
Quality Incentives Program tailored for Salt Lakers.
During the FY24 budget process, the City Council requested that the Sustainability Department provide a
written proposal of the program policy and goals for the Electric Bike Rebates and Indoor Air Quality
incentives before approving funding for those two incentives.
Summaries of the three Air Quality Incentives Programs are provided below:
1) Electric-Bike (E-bike) Rebate Program will distribute vouchers to encourage the purchase of e-bikes
as transportation alternatives to cars.
2) Indoor Air Quality Program will distribute indoor air purifiers, HVAC filters, and induction stoves
though the City’s existing housing programs.
3) Electric Yard Care Equipment Program will offer rebate for residents to purchase electric yard care
equipment, such as snowblowers, lawn mowers, leaf blowers, etc. The Sustainability Department
continues to work closely with the Utah Division of Air Quality on the details of this program. This
program is not addressed in this document because the Department is waiting on critical decisions
from DAQ before designing this program.
The Department is requesting $230,000 to fund the E-bike Rebate and Indoor Air Quality Programs.
Funding is needed for the Department to issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the E-bike Program and
to purchase equipment for the Indoor Air Quality Program, the next critical steps in program
development.
The purpose of this document is to provide information for the City Council about the currently
proposed E-bike Rebate and Indoor Air Quality program design, the programs for which funding is being
requested. The proposed program components described here are based on feedback from internal and
external stakeholders and research of similar programs in other cities. Program details are still under
development and will be finalized this Winter and Spring. The Department looks forward to
incorporating the City Council’s feedback into the proposed program design.
The Department considers this first round a pilot launch and will adjust future launches according to
public needs, lessons learned during the pilot launch, and City policy priorities. The Department plans to

explore available federal and other funding sources to provide supplementary funding for this program
in the future. Establishing a successful pilot will be an important step in securing additional funding
sources.
1. E-Bike Rebate Program Overview
The E-Bike Rebate Program will provide financial incentives for e-
bikes purchased as a transportation alternative to reduce vehicle
miles traveled. The goal of this program is to make e-bikes more
accessible and affordable and inspire residents to embrace a greener and healthier mode of
transportation while contributing to the reduction of transportation-related emissions in our city.
The Department anticipates using $200,000 of the budget amendment request for the E-bike Rebate
Program and aims to launch this program in Summer 2024.
The proposed program description provided in this document is based on feedback and information
collected from local bike shops, bike organizations, and similar programs. The actual program design
may change with additional feedback from stakeholders and depending on the results of the RFP
process.
Research that informed the proposed program design include:
- Bike shops:The Department interviewed five local e-bike suppliers to gather information on the
types of bikes provided, warranty options, and educational and service support provided. The
Department also collected feedback on key program components, such as anticipated voucher
amounts and redemption process, e-bike specifications, and procurement process. The bike
shops interviewed represented a range of business types and included a local e-bike
manufacturer and retailer, locally owned businesses, a national manufacturer and retailer, and a
national retailer.
- Bike organizations:The Department gathered feedback and explored partnership opportunities
with Bike Utah and other local organizations. Additionally, the Department researched policy
documents prepared by national bicycling organizations, such as The League of American
Cyclists and People for Bikes.
- Other E-Bike Incentives Programs:The Department conducted extensive researched on e-bike
incentive programs across the country and have been in close communication with UCAIR about
the Magnum+UCAIR E-Bike Incentive Program, which launched Summer 2023. This research was
intended to understand different program options, models, and lessons-learned.
1.1. Vouchers and Applicant Eligibility Criteria
The Department anticipates vouchers will range from $400 to $1,400 depending on bike type and
income. Higher voucher amounts will be available to income-qualified applicants. Vouchers will be used
at the point-of-sale to reduce the purchase price of the e-bike. The table below provides a summary of
the anticipated voucher amounts:

1.1.2. Voucher Distribution
It is anticipated that the application period will be open for at least one week for the general public.
Vouchers will be distributed through a lottery system, ensuring a fair and random allocation among
participants.
The Department proposes to prioritize vouchers distribution to income-qualified applicants to ensure
this program benefits a demographic that may face financial barriers to adopting e-bikes for
transportation and welcomes the City Council’s feedback on how to design this prioritization structure.
The Department is considering strategies to effectively encourage low-income residents to apply, such
as targeted outreach, a longer application period, and bike safety training events. These strategies are
further discussed in Section 1.3.
Voucher recipients will be able to redeem their vouchers at any of the participating bike shops. The
Sustainability Department has been working with IMS to develop a program application and an
automated voucher reimbursement process.
1.1.3. Applicant Eligibility
Applicants must be residents of Salt Lake City and 18-years of age or older. A valid driver’s license or
other State-issued ID card will be required to apply. A utility bill or bank statement will be required to

• Proof of enrollment in another State or federal income-qualifying assistance program
1.2. E-Bike Suppliers
Feedback gathered from potential bike suppliers has been incorporated into a draft RFP. The
competitive selection process will be initiated if funding is appropriated by the City Council. The
Department anticipates selecting up to 5 suppliers for the e-bike program. Suppliers will be selected
based on the quality of bikes sold, proposed bike safety accessory packages, level of maintenance
support provided, and staff experience and knowledge of e-bikes.
Anticipated bike eligibility requirements and supplier responsibilities are listed below, but all are subject
to change.
Suppliers must have a storefront within Salt Lake City boundaries and will be responsible for the
following:
• Voucher Redemption
o Verifying identity of holder of the voucher with a valid driver’s license or
government-issued identification.
o Verifying voucher expiration date, eligibility of the e-bikes with program
requirements and/or a list of eligible bike models.
o Fulfilling voucher recipients' orders within a 14-day period from purchase.
• Voucher Reimbursement
e CLEAN
&llfil SLC
Ver 1/9/2024 Page 5 of 7
o Submitting vouchers to the Sustainability Department’s Program Administrator for
reimbursement within 10 business days from date of transaction along with
receipts.
• Customer Education/Support
o Providing a smooth and consistent process for users picking up their e-bikes.
Suppliers must explain and set expectations with customers about e-bike
maintenance and care.
o Sharing cycling and e-bike ownership educational materials provided by Salt Lake
City to program participants.
o Providing information to support recipients registering their bikes with the
manufacturer and the Salt Lake City police department.
o Providing an opportunity for voucher recipients to test ride e-bikes before the final
sale.
• Bike Safety and Maintenance Support
o Offering a discount on bike safety accessories, including helmets, lights, patch kits,
and locks, to voucher recipients at the time of purchase.
o Providing a free 90-day tune-up on bikes sold from their location.
o Installing and maintaining on-site flat prevention systems.
1.3. Outreach Strategy
The Department is currently developing an outreach plan and tools. The plan will outline details for
press releases, social media posts, and other promotions. This plan will also detail strategies to reach
low-income residents, such as partnerships with organizations working in these communities, culturally
appropriate materials, and bike safety training and bike demonstration events to educate new and
inexperienced bike riders. Graphically designed materials are being developed and include logos, social
media templates, brochure templates, and other resources, which you can see in this document. The
Department will work with IMS’ Civic Engagement and Media Teams and the Transportation Division in
the development of the outreach plan and tools.The Department welcomes the City Council’s feedback
on the outreach strategy.
1.4. Program Metrics
The Department will track metrics to measure the effectiveness and impact of the program. Some of
these metrics could include:
• Engagement rates with outreach materials
• Percentage of applicants that are new to bike riding
• Applicant demographics
• Percentage of vouchers redeemed
• Follow-up survey to gauge usage frequency, miles travelled, car miles replaced, costs to
operate, and participant satisfaction with purchased e-bike and the program
• Estimated greenhouse gas and air pollutant emission reductions
• Number of educational sessions conducted, number of attendees

1.5. Other Considerations
It is important to recognize that bike storage, riding etiquette, parking, and infrastructure are critical
considerations that can impact the adoption of cycling as a transportation alternative. While the
Department cannot resolve all these issues through a voucher program, we are assessing the challenges
and identifying opportunities to incorporate solutions into this program, for example through requiring
discounted safety equipment, assistance with registering bikes, analyzing bike storage and security
solutions to propose and work with partners to support implementation, and continuing to develop
relationships with bike advocacy organizations to assist with education and outreach.
Through this program the Department will continue to explore opportunities to work in partnership to
address challenges to the adoption of e-bikes as transportation. Recognizing these issues cannot be
quickly resolved, this program can be a catalyst to systematically address some of these challenges.
2. Indoor Air Quality Program
Research continues to show how the air inside our homes can,
at times, be more polluted and harmful to health than the air
outside. Furthermore, during high pollution periods, outdoor air
can infiltrate homes and buildings, impacting the health of those inside. Thankfully, there are simple
equipment and behavioral measures that can significantly improve indoor air quality. For these reasons,
the Sustainability Department began an educational campaign in 2022 around indoor air quality, hosting
a partnership event to learn about the latest research, and incorporating messaging on the SLCgreen
social media platforms, blog posts and website.
Under the leadership of Mayor Mendenhall, in the FY24 budget process the Department proposed
enhancing the air quality incentives program by providing tools that will directly improve the air inside
people’s homes, particularly those who have lower household incomes. To do so, the Department plans
to collaborate with the Housing Stability Division’s Handyman and Home Repair programs to distribute
high-efficiency HVAC filters, air purifiers, and single-burner induction cooktops. The Department
anticipates using $30,000 of the budget amendment request for this Indoor Air Quality program.
Based on Housing Stability’s program data from past years, the Department anticipate working with 60
homes over a one-year period. The number of homes served will depend on the number of applicants
the housing programs enroll, and types of repairs performed.
If funding is approved, the Department will begin working with contractors for the Handyman and Home
Repair programs to start distributing indoor air quality tools.
2.1. Indoor Air Quality Assessment
For their existing programs, Housing Stability staff conducts a home assessment to assist residents with
their applications and evaluate the rehabilitation needs of the home. The Department plans to work
with Housing Stability staff to collect information during these assessments to identify the appropriate
indoor air quality interventions for each home, such as furnace type and age, stove type (gas vs.
electric), age of household members, and health concerns (such as respiratory and heart diseases).

&Dfil SLC _lQ-%

&llfil SLC
Ver 1/9/2024 Page 7 of 7
2.2. Indoor Air Quality Equipment
The Department proposes distributing the following interventions:
• High-efficiency furnace filters with efficiency ratings of MERV 13 or higher will be offered
along with instructions for replacing filters, and reminders for filter replacement. MERV 13
filters are not appropriate in all instances because they can diminish the efficiency and
performance of the furnace. An assessment of the age and condition of the furnace will be
conducted, and the highest-efficiency option will be provided if a MERV 13 filter is not
appropriate.
• Air Purifiers will be offered to homes where residents have health conditions exacerbated
by poor air quality or where high efficiency filters cannot be installed.
• Single-burner induction stoves will be offered to homes that have gas stoves. Stoves fueled
by natural gas can result in high levels of indoor air pollution. Program participants will be
provided information on the impact of gas stoves on indoor air quality and will be offered a
single-burner induction stove along with appropriate cookware.
• Indoor Air Quality Monitors will be offered as a tool to increase awareness of how routine
activities impact indoor air quality.
2.3. Educational Components
This program will also include an educational component to help residents understand how to improve
indoor air quality in their homes. The materials will discuss strategies for improving indoor air quality
and will include instructions for the materials distributed by our program. These materials will be
distributed through the City’s Handyman and Home Repair Programs.
Sustainability is also exploring partnerships with other organizations, such as community health workers,
to distribute educational materials and promote the City’s Handyman and Home Repair Programs and
the Clean Air SLC programs.
2.4. Program Metrics & Outcomes
The Department will track metrics to measure the effectiveness and impact of the program. Some of
these metrics could include:
• Engagement rates with outreach materials
• Percentage of applicants interested in these interventions
• Types and number of interventions installed
• Applicant demographics
• Follow-up survey to gauge usage frequency, impact of educational material, and satisfaction
with the program

A highlighed comparison using he sascal CAD repors or Augus1so Augus20h 2023 is aached.
The me a call is “In Queue” represens he me a call is waing or sucieninormaon beore ican

FIRST BASIS FOR WAIVER: MATCH EXISTING EQUIPMENT AND PROCESSES - CONTRACTING WITH APCO
WILL ALLOW THE CITY TO MATCH VECC’S EXISTING EQUIPMENT AND PROCESSES.
Conracng wih APCO o provide medical dispach proocol services will allow he Ciy o mach is PSAP
parner’s exisng medical dispach proocol equipmenand processes such ha he Ciy and VECC will
be able o joinly ulize an ineroperable CAD sysem hapermis calls o he ranserred smoohly and

SECOND BASIS FOR WAIVER: SOLE SOURCE – APCO IS THE SOLE VENDOR THAT THE CITY CAN SELECT IF IT
WANTS TO ACHIEVE A FULLY INTEROPERABLE CAD SYSTEM THAT WILL REDUCE DELAYS AND FACILITATE
THE RAPID AND EFFICIENT PROVISION OF MEDICAL DISPATCH SERVICES.
Moso he raonale supporng his reques or a sole source waiver is already addressed in he
preceding paragraph. APCO is he only vendor who can mach VECC’s exisng equipmenand processes,
and APCO is hereore he only vendor he Ciy can selec o achieve a genuinely ineroperable CAD

THIRD BASIS FOR WAIVER: BEST INTERESTS OF THE CITY – CONTRACTING WITH APCO IS IN THE BEST
INTEREST OF THE CITY BECAUSE RESULTS IN AN INTEROPERABLE COMMON CAD SYSTEM AND BECAUSE
APCO’S SYSTEM, INDEPENDENT OF ANY INTEROPERABLE EFFICIENCIES, IMPROVES THE CITY’S ABILITY TO
TIMELY PROVIDE MEDICAL DISPATCH SERVICES.

TO OUR
STAKEHOLDERS
Emergency Management is more than just
responding to earthquakes or floods. It is more
than an Emergency Coordination Center or
IAP’s. More than policy and procedures. More
than operational plans. Emergency Manage-
ment is about connecting people to knowledge,
skills, resources, and to each other before,
during, and after disasters. The best way to
accomplish this is with teamwork and col-
laboration. If we plan for events in a silo we will
respond to events in a silo, and major incidents
require we all work as a cohesive unit together.
Many strides have been made to build these
relationships in our EM community, and we have
you to thank. Everyone that has taken the time
to attend a class, join a training, advised on a
plan, or help with a project... Thank you! You are
the reason we will be more prepared and more
resilient during events that shake a community
to its very core. Whether it be CERT, SLC employ-
ees, volunteers, city partners, or community
members, what you bring to the table is vital to
our success. There are many new and exciting
things ahead and we can’t accomplish all that is
needed without you. We hope you will continue
to participate and be part of the emergency
management team for years to come. From all
of us at Salt Lake City Fire Department Division
of Emergency Management, we want to extend
our gratitude for an amazing year and we look
forward to all the exciting endeavors we will
journey on together in the future.

It has been my priviedge to join the incredibly ex-
perienced and knowledgable staff in our Emer-
gency Management Division. This field requires
a network of highly specialized personnel from
diverse backgrounds and organizations. Together
we are working to build comprehensive plans, pro -
cedures, trainings, and community programs to
prepare for and respond to major disasters. These
projects span the entire spectrum of emergency
management and require collaboration on a level
beyond anything I previously imagined. From
functional exercises to citizen preparedness, the
amount of work that has gone into these endeavors
is impressive. I am excited to see how much more
we can achieve in the years to come. Our partners
within and outside of Salt Lake City, along with
the amazing support of our community members,
will help make these ambitious goals a reality.

WORD FROM our Chiefs
Salt Lake City Fire Department Emergency Management Division
SLCFD division Chief - EM
Ty shepherd
As a Division of the Salt Lake City Fire Department,
Salt Lake City’s Emergency Management (EM) Divi-
sion has three primary responsibilities: To educate
and prepare both our city departments and residents
for emergencies, to support the mitigation of emer-
gencies through the emergency coordination center
(ECC), and to initiate recovery from such emergencies
that may impact the City on multiple levels. This is an
enormous responsibility, and one that Salt Lake City
EM does not take for granted. With specialists in emer-
gency training, disaster coordination, contract devel-
opment, and public communication, Salt Lake City’s
EM Division is routinely involved with the preparation
and potential emergency response to events through-
out the city. This piece of mind allows residents, busi-
ness owners, and city employees to focus on their re -
spective roles to make Salt Lake City one of the safest
and most livable cities in the Rocky Mountain Region.

PREPARING
OUR CITY
Salt Lake City’s emergency management
plan is a comprehensive strategy designed
to proactively address a spectrum of
potential hazards. Through rigorous risk
assessments, community engagement
initiatives, and technological integration,
the plan ensures a coordinated and effec-
tive response to emergencies, prioritizing
the safety and resilience of the city and its
residents.
Salt Lake City offers public preparedness
classes designed to empower residents
and employees with essential skills and
knowledge for effectively responding to
emergencies. These classes cover topics
such as emergency communication, basic
first aid, and evacuation procedures,
providing participants with practical tools
to enhance community resilience and
individual readiness in the face of various
crises.
Salt Lake City organizes and participates in
emergency management volunteer events
and fairs, providing opportunities for
community members to actively engage
in disaster preparedness efforts. These
events offer a platform for residents to join
volunteer programs, receive training in
emergency response protocols, and con-
tribute to building a more resilient city by
actively participating in the preparedness
initiatives.
Public preparedness Volunteer events & fairs
Salt Lake City Fire Department Emergency Management Division
Salt Lake City employs a robust emergency management strategy to ensure preparedness for a
diverse range of potential hazards. Through comprehensive risk assessments, the City identifies and
plans for specific threats, including seismic events and extreme weather. Collaborative partnerships,
community engagement initiatives, and the integration of advanced technologies further enhance Salt
Lake City’s ability to respond effectively to emergencies, emphasizing a proactive and resilient ap-
proach to safeguarding both residents and infrastructure.
EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PLANS

The Salt Lake City Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) stands as a beacon of preparedness in our community, with the suc-cessful completion of four graduating classes serving as a testament to its commitment. Mem-bers of these classes received comprehensive instruction in crucial emergency response skills, including light search and rescue, disaster first aid, and fire suppression. This diverse training equips CERT volunteers with the necessary tools and knowledge to respond effectively to a wide range of emergencies, contributing significantly to the overall preparedness of Salt Lake City.
The focus on skill sets such as light search and rescue, disaster first aid, and fire suppression not only empowers CERT members to assist their fellow community members in times of crisis but also bolsters the City’s capacity to manage and recover from emergencies. By fostering a highly trained and dedicated group of individuals, the Salt Lake City CERT team plays a pivotal role in enhancing our community’s resilience and en-suring a swift and coordinated response when it matters most.

THE
MISSION
Salt Lake City Emergency Manage-ment is dedicated to a multifaceted mission, encompassing the critical areas of prevention, protection, mitigation, response, and recovery. In the realm of prevention, the agency works tirelessly to anticipate and avert potential threats through educa-tion, outreach, and strategic plan-ning. In terms of protection, efforts are directed towards safeguarding the community and its assets from various hazards, ensuring a resilient environment. Through robust mitiga-tion strategies, the agency aims to minimize the impact of disasters,
emphasizing proactive measures to build a more disaster-resistant city. In the event of an incident, Salt Lake City Emergency Management activates a swift and well-coordinated response, deploying resources effectively to address immediate needs. Finally, a focus on recovery involves long-term efforts to restore the community to its pre-disaster state, fostering resilience and learning from each experience to continually improve the city’s overall emergency management capabilities.
We cannot stop natural disasters, but we can arm ourselves with knowledge. So many lives
wouldn’t have to be lost if there was enough disaster preparedness. - Petra Nemcova

This last year brought new procedures,
organizational structure, and projects to the
Salt Lake City Emergency Management Divi-
sion. The division restructured to better align
with how we deploy and staff the Emergency
Coordination Center which improved not only
our day-to-day chain of command but also how
efficiently we organize during an activation. We
brought in new technology and procedures to
streamline our communications during the Situ-
ational Awareness Response Training (SART)
calls, situation briefs, and Incident Objectives
meetings. New positions have been added to
the ECC org. chart including ECC Liaison and
Policy Group Liaison, and checklists have been
standardized to outline roles and responsibili-
ties of each position. This was tested during the
ECC functional exercise in October where each
section of the ECC and the JIC were activated,
and participants completed real world docu-
mentation, IAP’s, SitReps, ARCGIS Mapping, and
press releases using existing and new protocols
with WebEOC, Rave, Microsoft Teams, and
ECC phone systems. The division is part of the
Emergency Management Preparedness Grant
(EMPG) which we are using to increase our capa-
bilities through training and emergency supply
readiness. Future grants such as the Community
Wildfire Defense Grant have been submitted to
rewrite our CWPP and develop Salt Lake City
specific mitigation plans. We are excited to con-
tinue the progressive and productive trajectory
the division is currently producing.

YEAR OF TEAM BUILDINGTEAM BUILDING AND PLANNING
‘23 year in review

Salt Lake City Emergency Management is working towards the completion and promulgation of the Comprehensive Emergency Manage-
ment Plan, Supporting Functional and Hazard-Specific Annexes, and Policy Group Handbook. These plans will guide the procedures for
Salt Lake City during a disaster. This will be collaborative with Salt Lake County and all neighboring municipalities. It will also address
any special planning for the Access and Functional Needs population.
One of the biggest challenges for incident commanders is control and coordination of volunteers. We hope to develop and implement
a Volunteer Program Annex to define protocols, equipment, and plans for volunteer management before and during major incidents
including the handling of spontaneous volunteers self-dispatching to the scene of a disaster.
With all of our newly created documents, we will update and develop our multi-year training plan capturing all city employees and
stakeholders to train and exercise the emergency management plans currently begin completed. This will include online and in-person
classes, tabletop and functional exercises, and working groups to evaluate and rewrite plans based on effectiveness. Part of this plan
includes creating Just-In-Time training and Just-In-Time kits for each ECC and JIC position to assist during staffing shortages or proce-
dural guidance for inexperienced ECC positions.

Introduction
Salt Lake City Emergency Management has designed this handbook to provide elected
officials and the City Council with a basic understanding of the fundamental requirements to
ensure an effective emergency management program in Salt Lake City.
An elected official does not know when a disaster will strike, but when it does, any number of
disaster scenarios may impact the community. There may be power outages, contaminated
water distribution systems, extensive debris piles, raw sewage in the streets, overloaded
communications systems, or community property damage; all having a significant impact on
the city budget. Angry, confused, frightened, and possibly displaced community members
might be present with never-ending lists of problems. The greatest impact will be the loss of
life and property.
The community, however, can survive, recover, and eventually thrive during and after a
disaster. The “how” in the community’s survival and recovery is the city’s emergency
management program. Management of a disaster includes keeping citizens and responders
warned and informed, quickly restoring public facilities and services, and meeting the needs
of the residents. During the time that a community is involved in the response, preparation for
short-term and long-term recovery must be made to return the community to minimum
operating standards and eventually to pre-disaster conditions and functionality. It is important
that elected officials work with their Emergency Management, Public Safety, Planning, and
Zoning personnel to develop a mitigation plan that will outline short- and long-term recovery
goals and objectives.
Elected or appointed officials are ultimately responsible for protecting citizens and those
visiting their jurisdiction. Citizens and visitors expect a reasonable level of protection, to which
they have a right. It is essential that elected officials also support and participate in learning
opportunities with first responders and key staff. The public holds elected officials accountable
for the decisions and actions of response personnel. In addition to legal responsibilities, there
are liability issues involved in the way a community manages the response to an emergency.
A good emergency management program can make the difference in the community’s ability
to reduce injury, save lives, keep property loss to a minimum, and help people in time of
disaster. Emergency management planning builds support from constituents by
demonstrating the elected officials’ responsiveness to their needs. It provides the elected
official with an opportunity to work with community organizations and identify local resources.
This planning effort leads to better coordination among governmental departments and
Salt Lake City Council Emergency Group Handbook | Page 2
improves cooperation between public and private sectors. The elected official gains credibility
when providing effective leadership before, during, and after a disaster.
The importance of an emergency management program becomes apparent when no time
exists to develop plans or establish complex emergency communications systems. No
community in Salt Lake City is immune to severe weather, large fires, hazardous material spills,
earthquakes or terrorism. An effective emergency management program will identify hazards
that threaten the community. An impact analysis can be developed outlining at-risk
populations, critical facilities, economic and environmental impacts, and other related issues.
The investments made by local officials will repay the community many times over.
It is crucial for elected officials to work with, and support, their municipal, county, and state
EOCs/ECCs to ensure that the community is prepared to respond to disasters. The following
are items that should be considered for inclusion in every city emergency management
program:
• Trained Emergency Management staff
• Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan that includes handbooks/checklists
and hazard-specific annexes
• Mitigation Plan
• Communications Plan
• Warning System
• Evacuation Plans
• Designated mass care shelters
• Trained response personnel
• Exercises and Drill
• Updated resource manuals
• Trained damage assessment teams
Please contact the Salt Lake City Fire Department Emergency Management Division with any
questions concerning the content of this handbook
Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CEMP)
Key to effective emergency management in any county or local government is the ability to
address a potential disaster or emergency in a planned, organized, predictable, and
professional manner. That key is addressed in the Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) or
Community Emergency Management Plan (CEMP). Experience has proven that having a plan
in place and having the principal players familiar with duties and responsibilities saves time,
Salt Lake City Council Emergency Group Handbook | Page 3
resources, and, ultimately, lives. Pre-designation of evacuation routes and staging areas for
equipment and personnel will assist in conflict resolution and the identification of unmet needs.
Unmet needs result when required resources are beyond the county or local municipality’s
capability to provide them during an incident.
Writing a CEMP is not a simple process. It begins by conducting a Threat & Hazard
Identification and Risk Analysis (THIRA). Knowledge of the elected official’s municipality, its
residents, land use, hazards, geography, infrastructure, economics, cultures, and critical
facilities, is also essential for disaster response and recovery.
The Emergency Management staff must first conduct a THIRA of the city. Consulting historical
records, identifying industrial sites and special needs facilities, reviewing geological maps, and
interviewing the local population are means of hazard identification. Severe weather events,
natural disasters, transportation corridors, security sensitive installations, entertainment
venues, public works facilities, dams, and nuclear reactor locations have an enormous impact
on the vulnerability of the city to flooding, drought, hazardous materials incidents, radiological
exposure, and the threat of terrorist activity.
NATURAL HAZARDS HUMAN-CAUSED HAZARDS
Winter Storm/Severe

Brute Force Cyber Attacks
Complex Coordinated Attacks
The emergency management staff must prioritize the hazards according to their potential
impact on the city and the probability of occurrence.
Emergency Management must develop a resource manual to help personnel effectively
respond to each hazard. To maintain accuracy and best practices, the resource manual must
be kept current.
Salt Lake City Council Emergency Group Handbook | Page 4
A good resource manual includes:
• Volunteer and civic groups that may provide assistance or special skills.
• Facilities such as schools, churches, community centers, or convention centers for
housing evacuees.
• Transportation resources.
• Engineering/construction equipment, trucks.
• Supply sources for sand, sandbags, pipes, water, firefighting foam, and a host of
other items.
• Twenty-four-hour contact list with telephone numbers, addresses, and the name of
the point-of-contact.
Each annex to the plan deals with one function of an operation. The plan must include a
promulgation statement that elected officials sign accepting the plan as being adequate for
the city. In its final form, the plan will be brief with a few paragraphs about the purpose,
definition of terms, and promulgation, followed by a list of annexes that address the different
functions discussed above. Shortfalls in the plan will surface during exercises and during actual
emergencies.
There is one more crucial step before the plan is finished. A plan must be coordinated with all
principal players. The principal players may include fire departments, school districts,
emergency medical services, law enforcement, contiguous townships, volunteer agencies, and
lower and higher levels of government.
Emergency Management personnel must review and update the plan. A plan should be re-
promulgated whenever a majority of the governing body signatories has changed from the
current promulgation approval.
The Emergency Coordination Center
During a disaster, it is important that governments speak with a single, coherent voice. This is
essential both from the viewpoint of orchestrating an effective response and for the
psychological well-being and morale of the population. Effective communication between all
entities of local government, as well as government at other levels, will enhance the confidence
of the citizens in addition to better protecting lives and property.
Elected officials play a vital role in the Emergency Coordination Center (ECC) by: establishing,
equipping, and staffing the organization; ensuring the continuity of operations; and initiating
the disaster declaration when necessary.
Salt Lake City Council Emergency Group Handbook | Page 5
The ECC must provide essential facilities and equipment for agencies and activities assigned
emergency responsibilities. The ECC must be at a physical location where representatives of
the major decision-making and response organizations in the community can come together
to effectively communicate and coordinate. ECC personnel look at the strategic picture versus
managing specific incident events and do not act as Incident Commanders. The ECC provides
coordination and allocation of scarce resources.
The ECC does not exercise direct control over response agencies. On-scene procedures for
dealing with fire, rescue, emergency medical services, and law enforcement are directed by
the on-scene Incident Commander, on-scene Unified Command, or remote Area Command.
ECC staff members have two primary responsibilities: coordinating efforts and obtaining and
allocating resources to first responders and other field personnel.
An important part of the planning process is determining which agencies should have
representation in the ECC. Some types of emergencies may not require every staff member or
agency to be present. It may become necessary to call in outside experts to assist in the ECC
for the duration of a specific incident. To effectively use the expertise and decision-making
capabilities in the ECC, field personnel should gather accurate and complete information
about the disaster and identify resource shortfalls at the disaster scene. Within the ECC, a
means of obtaining and disseminating this information must be implemented to allow the ECC
staff to keep abreast of an often rapidly changing situation. This situational awareness is gained
by an on-scene ECC Liaison or by direct communication by ECC Senior Leadership.
The complexity of the ECC will vary with the needs of the community and its assets. The
following is a small list of what should be considered:
• A cadre of trained ECC staff members
• Proximate or accessible to the seat of government
• Adequate workspace for all persons expected to be present
• Communication with the disaster scene and with EOCs/ECCs in other municipalities
and the state
• Emergency lighting and power visual displays/maps/status boards
• Sanitary facilities and food and water supplies for an extended activation
• Protection from possible hazards
• Multiple telephone lines
• Copiers
• Copies of the Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) or Comprehensive Emergency
Management Plan (CEMP), manuals, forms, and general office supplies
• Amateur radio
• Computers
• Internet access
Salt Lake City Council Emergency Group Handbook | Page 6
An ECC has guides to direct the set-up, operation, and close-out of coordination activities.
Items such as activation, personnel rosters, the placement of maps, charts and boards, and
other equipment are part of the guidelines. The EOP or CEMP will cover as many aspects of
the ECC activities as possible.
The ECC shall have sufficient room for wall charts, situational displays, and maps. The most
important resource is communications equipment. Telephones are a necessity, as are radios
to talk with incident critical individuals. The more communications systems that are available in
the ECC the better the ECC staff will be served when a disaster strikes. Emergency lighting and
power should also be available.
ECC staff members must be continually recruited and trained. Trained and competent ECC
staff members are the bridge to success. At the city level, the size of the ECC staff is dependent
on the vulnerability to hazards, the disaster situation, and as outlined in the city EOP/CEMP.
There are practical limits based not only on availability of space but also on the effectiveness
of communications. For Salt Lake City, the ECC staff should include 25 to 30 trained individuals
per operational period to assist in coordination and resource allocation. Elected officials
should coordinate with their emergency management staff when developing staffing levels for
their policy group.
The Integrated Public Alert and Warning System (IPAWS) and other contracted emergency
notifications systems (ENS) are utilized by the County Emergency
Coordination Center and Valley Emergency Communication Center (VECC) to warn citizens of
potential threats to life and/or property. Activation of the IPAWS for any disaster can be
accomplished in a matter of minutes anywhere in the county. Only personnel that have
received FEMA IS247B certification and are on file with the county through designation may
authorize IPAWS activation. Reverse 911 may be utilized by trained city personnel if the need
arises.
The City maintains RAVE Emergency Alerts which may be utilized for city employee emergency
notifications within the guidelines set forth in policy and procedure. RAVE Emergency Alerts
keyword opt-in may be utilized for citizens that have been evacuated. These alerts will provide
evacuees with timely updates regarding the continued evacuation or emergency incident.
Emergency Response Organizations
In most communities, the first responders (fire, police, and ambulance) and Public Utilities
handle daily emergencies, as well as additional emergencies, that can occur in disaster
situations.
Salt Lake City Council Emergency Group Handbook | Page 7
All disasters start at the local level, and communities have varying local response capabilities
to mitigate these emergencies. Elected officials are responsible for everyone in the community
whether they are residents or visitors. All responses to disasters and emergencies should be
performed at the lowest level capable of handling the emergency using the National Incident
Management System (NIMS).
Government has the responsibility to provide for the public’s safety. Effective emergency
preparedness that provides for response to both everyday emergencies and disaster
operations relies on a strong relationship between elected officials and the emergency
response providers. The Fire department, Police Department, ambulance services, search and
rescue teams, regional task forces, hazardous materials teams, Public Utilities and Public
Services have assumed the responsibility of providing for certain aspects of that safety.
A thorough planning process should allow an information exchange regarding the
expectations and responsibilities of all groups involved. This exchange can provide the
foundation for mutual-aid agreements that are formal contractual agreements. Policies,
Standard Operating Guidelines (SOGs) and/or Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) clearly
define how the city and their emergency response organizations intend to provide for public
safety. These agreements, Policies, SOPs, and SOGs can be as basic or as all-inclusive as the
parties’ desire, but they are an essential part of a comprehensive emergency management
program in that they delineate duties and responsibilities.
Everyone involved in emergency response groups must train for a broad range of emergency
conditions. The training necessary for emergency response units continues to increase, in part
due to federal regulations, industry safety requirements, court decisions, and the need to keep
up with an increasingly complex environment.
Salt Lake City’s emergency response units are the backbone of a well-planned emergency
management program. Establishing and developing relationships with them on a day-to-day
basis will provide better emergency services in general and a more coordinated response
during disasters.
Federal Laws and Presidential Directives Affecting Emergency
Management
Laws, Codes, and Presidential Directives impacting local government include:
• The Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (P.L. 100-707)
Title 44, Code of Federal Regulations, Emergency Management and Assistance
Salt Lake City Council Emergency Group Handbook | Page 8
• The Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA)
• The National Homeland Security and Combating Terrorism Act of 2002 (S.
2452)
• The National Incident Management System
• The National Response Framework
• State Laws
• City Code and Ordinance
These presuppose an active emergency management function at all levels of government, and
they emphasize the need for emergency planning in advance of the disaster.
The Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act provides for federal
assistance to state and local governments after a disaster. It provides for declaration of a
disaster by the President, appointment of coordinating officers, and utilization of various
federal resources in the disaster area. The law directs the President to assist states in
developing plans and preparing programs for disaster response and mitigation.
The Stafford Act has public and private provisions that cover certain costs following a declared
disaster. The public assistance sections provide for federal contributions to remove debris and
to repair or replace facilities and infrastructure that belong to state or local government or to
private, non-profit organizations. The federal reimbursement may include costs for equipment,
materials, contracts and labor costs for base pay or overtime for regular and temporary or
“special hire” employees.
The Individuals and Households sections of the law provide federal assistance for private
individuals affected by the disaster once loss thresholds are met. Housing and other needs
assistance may be provided to homeowners, renters, or individuals. Housing assistance may
take the form of a grant for temporary housing (hotels, apartments, and travel-trailers), a repair
assistance grant, or limited money to help replace a destroyed home. Other needs assistance
includes grants to replace personal property, to repair or replace automobiles, or to reimburse
victims for other serious and necessary disaster losses such as medical, dental, or funerals.
Other provisions may include disaster unemployment assistance, food stamps assistance,
direct distribution of food, legal services, emergency public transportation, and crisis
counseling.
The aforementioned laws and directives are dependent on a presidential disaster declaration
and on appropriate demonstration of need. When a disaster does strike, a victim’s primary
method of applying for assistance is by registering with the Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) via telephone. Additionally, federal and state disaster workers may establish a
Salt Lake City Council Emergency Group Handbook | Page 9
Disaster Recovery Center (DRC) where citizens can receive help in applying for the above-
mentioned assistance or in coping with other aspects of their disaster loss.
The federal government amended the Stafford Act to include the provisions of the Civil
Defense Act of 1951. This law provided money to state and local governments to build
emergency management capabilities. Although the law originally provided for preparedness
against enemy attack, its inclusion into the Stafford act expands it to include preparedness for
all hazards that may affect a community.
As defined in the law, the purpose of the emergency management program is to:
• minimize the effects of disaster.
• respond to emergency conditions.
• repair and restore vital infrastructure and facilities.
Identifying hazards, analyzing our capabilities, and planning a comprehensive response meet
these goals. The law places responsibility for this preparedness jointly on federal, state, and
local (municipal or county) governments.
The National Homeland Security and Combating Terrorism Act of 2002 (S. 2452),
Implementing Recommendations of the 9/11 Commission Act of 2007 (Public Law 110-53),
and the Consolidated Security, Disaster Assistance and Continuing Appropriations Act of 2009
(Public Law 110-329), restructures and strengthens the executive branch of the federal
government to better meet the threat to our homeland posed by terrorism. The Department
of Homeland Security (DHS) has the primary mission to help prevent, protect against, and
respond to acts of terrorism on our soil. Title VIII, Coordination with Non- Federal entities, and
others, establishes the Office for State and Local Government Coordination to oversee and
coordinate departmental programs for and relationships with state and local governments.
This section allows for assessment and advocacy for the resources needed by state and local
governments to implement the national strategy for combating terrorism.
The Grants Program Directorate (GPD) is charged with coordinating preparedness efforts at
the federal level, and working with all state, local, tribal, parish, and private sector emergency
response providers on all matters pertaining to combating terrorism, including training,
exercises, and equipment support. The GPD supervises the preparedness grant programs of
the federal government. Local governments receive the benefits of the grant funding. The
county is the administrator for some of the federal preparedness grant programs and provides
management and administration of these grant programs.
Salt Lake City Council Emergency Group Handbook | Page 10
The National Incident Management System (NIMS) was initially published by the DHS on
December 18, 2008. It provides a comprehensive and consistent national approach to all-
hazard incident management at all jurisdictional levels and across all functional emergency
management disciplines.
Elected and appointed officials should have a clear understanding of their roles and
responsibilities for successful emergency management and incident response. These officials
include administrative and political personnel, as well as department/agency administrators
who have leadership roles in a jurisdiction, including legislators and chief executives, whether
elected (e.g., governors, mayors, sheriffs, tribal leaders, and county executives) or appointed
(e.g., county administrators and city managers). Although their roles may require providing
direction and guidance to constituents during an incident, their day-to-day activities do not
necessarily focus on emergency management and incident response.
To better serve their constituents, elected and appointed officials should do the following:
• Understand, commit to, adopt, and receive NIMS training.
• Provide guidance to their jurisdictions, departments, and/or agencies, with clearly
stated policies for NIMS implementation.
• Participate in exercises.
• Maintain an understanding of basic emergency management, Continuity of
Operations (COOP) and Continuity of Government (COG) plans, jurisdictional
response capabilities, and initiation of disaster declarations.
• Lead and encourage preparedness efforts within the community, agencies of the
jurisdiction, Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), and the private sector, as
appropriate.
• Help to establish relationships (including mutual aid agreements and assistance
agreements) with other jurisdictions and, as appropriate, NGOs and the private sector.
• Support and encourage participation in mitigation efforts within the jurisdiction and,
as appropriate, with NGOs and the private sector.
• Understand laws and regulations in their jurisdictions that pertain to emergency
management and incident response.
• Maintain awareness of designated Critical Infrastructure and Key Resources
(collectively CI/KR) within their jurisdictions, potential incident impacts, and restoration
priorities.
Elected and appointed officials may also be called upon to help shape and revise laws, policies,
and budgets to aid in preparedness efforts and to improve emergency management and
incident response activities.
Salt Lake City Council Emergency Group Handbook | Page 11
An incident may have a mix of political, economic, social, environmental, public safety, public
health, and financial implications with potentially serious long-term effects. Frequently,
incidents require a coordinated response across agencies, jurisdictions, including NGOs and
the private sector, during which elected and appointed officials must make difficult decisions
under crisis conditions. Elected and appointed officials should be aware of how NIMS can work
to ensure cooperative response efforts, thereby minimizing the potential implications of an
incident.
General Responsibilities
The City Council Emergency Group is activated when a significant emergency affects Salt Lake
City. This consists of Salt Lake City elected City Council members and any necessary
department representatives dependent on the scale of the event. The scope of this group’s
responsibilities include:
• Policy-level decisions
• Fiscal authorizations
• Coordination with community councils and volunteers in each respective district
• High-level conflict resolution for each district
• Recovery planning and response
• Joint information system messaging coordination
The first few hours are a critical time in the response to the emergency. The City Council
Emergency Group will be needed to coordinate community continuity for all of Salt Lake City.
Areas Outside City Council Emergency Group’s Scope
The City Council Emergency Group does not:
• Direct field operations
• Make strategic or tactical decisions for field operations
• Direct emergency response operations (dealing directly with the incidents)
• Manage response departments or agencies
Salt Lake City Council Emergency Group Handbook | Page 12
Constant Communication
To ensure you are always prepared to respond to a city emergency, have on hand (in your
office and/or at home) the following items:
• Cell phone or satellite phone (if available)
• Computer
• Contact numbers for the Emergency Management On-Call Duty Officer, EM Division
Chief, Fire Chief, and Fire Department Assistant Chief of Community Risk Reduction
• A copy of the Emergency Management City Council Emergency Group Handbook and
accompanying Checklists
General Considerations
This handbook contains functional descriptions, responsibilities, and checklists for City Council
members. The checklists describe minimum activities that should be accomplished by
personnel assigned to functional positions within the section. All members are encouraged to
supplement the responsibilities and checklists to meet the needs of the incident / event.
The size, complexity and needs of the incident/event will determine the appropriate
organizational structure. The ICS structure is flexible in that it can expand or contract to the
size that best fits the incident’s needs. The figures below show the Joint Information System,
communication pathways, and organizational structure of Salt Lake City’s Emergency
Coordination Center.
Salt Lake City Council Emergency Group Handbook | Page 13
Figure 1: Emergency Coordination Center Organizational Chart
Salt Lake City Council Emergency Group Handbook | Page 14
Figure 2: Incident Command / Emergency Coordination Center
Communication Chain
Staffing
The determination of the appropriate level of staffing and lead agency to manage the function
is the responsibility of the agency or jurisdiction at each ECC level. In general, the following
conditions will apply:
• Staff the section with the most qualified person in the discipline most closely aligned
to the emergency (Logistics and Finance/Administration sections may have a standard
designation of personnel for all emergencies).
• Maintain a span of control not to exceed one supervisor for up to seven sub-functions.
• One person may have delegated authority for more than one area of responsibility
(Usually this is done during the early portion of the Activation Phase or in the
Demobilization Phase).
• Each of these functional areas can be expanded as needed into additional
organizational units with further delegation of authority.
• If a section is not activated, the ECC Director will perform its responsibilities.
Salt Lake City Council Emergency Group Handbook | Page 15
Checklists
The following pages include checklists to assist you in a county emergency. Reviewing the two
different checklists will help you identify the different roles of the City Council Emergency
Group. The three checklists include:
• City Council Emergency Group Responsibilities
• City Council Emergency Group Agenda
These checklists should be used during ECC incident/event evaluation or activation, and a new
checklist should be implemented for every operational period. The checklist becomes part of
the incidents legal documentation and helps the organization build its timeline of activities and
personnel involved in critical decision making.
Recovery
After the Response
This in-between time, starting a few hours after the onset of the emergency and lasting up to a
day or two afterwards – is one of consolidation, stock-taking, and quick temporary fixes that get
the city positioned to start thinking about recovery. The key concept here is “immediate need.”
Some of the typical issues you’ll need to consider include:
Self-Support
• Availability of City Council members for extended periods of time
o Succession Plans
• Availability of appropriate City Council members depending on the situation
o Incident / Event Specific
• Best location for ongoing City Council meetings
o Long-term
Response Support
• Availability of personnel needed for response
o Internal / External
• Availability of additional personnel if needed
o Internal / External
• Prioritization of response actions
• Deconfliction and sorting of resource allocations
• Measure of control needed
o Closures
o Cancellations
o Support
• Public relations
Salt Lake City Council Emergency Group Handbook | Page 16
o Distribution of information
o Transparency
• Management of ongoing hazards
• Additional resources needed
o Water
o Housing
o Food
This is the process of rebuilding the city and returning to full operations. This is the business of
medium-term needs and long-term goals. Many of these issues may have been identified in
the Recovery Plan but not solved. Some of the typical issues you’ll need to consider involve:
• Applicability of recovery plan to situation
• Assignment of recovery work to appropriate people/groups/organizations
• Long term impact of event
• County/State/Federal Services
• All County Government Infrastructure
• Housing
• Property/Space needs
• Replacement of facilities
Definitions
Agency—A division of government with a specific function offering a particular kind of
assistance. In ICS, agencies are defined either as jurisdictional (having statutory responsibility
for incident management) or as assisting or cooperating (providing resources or other
assistance).
Agency Representative—A person assigned by a primary, assisting or cooperating federal,
state, local or tribal government agency or private entity that has been delegated authority to
make decisions affecting that agency’s or organization’s participation in incident management
activities following appropriate consultation with the leadership of that agency.
Area Command—An organization established (1) to oversee the management of multiple
incidents that are each being handled by and ICS organization or (2) to oversee the
management of large or multiple incidents to which several Incident Management Teams have
been assigned. Area command has the responsibility to set overall strategy and priorities,
allocate critical resources according to priorities, ensure that incidents are properly managed,
and ensure that objectives are met, and strategies followed. Area command may be
established at the ECC facility or at some location other than an ICP.
Available Resources - Resources assigned to an incident, checked in, and available for use,
normally located in a Staging Area.
Salt Lake City Council Emergency Group Handbook | Page 17
Awareness - The continual process of collection, analyzing, and disseminating intelligence,
information, and knowledge to allow organizations and individuals to anticipate requirements
and to react effectively.
Casualty - Any person who is declared dead or is missing, ill, or injured.
Catastrophic Incident - Any natural or manmade incident, including terrorism, that results in
extraordinary levels of mass casualties, damage or disruption severely affecting the population,
infrastructure, environment, economy, national morale, and/or government functions. A
catastrophic event could result in sustained national impacts over a prolonged period of time;
almost immediately exceeds resources normally available to state, local, tribal and private-
sector authorities in the impacted area; and significantly interrupts governmental operations
and emergency services to such an extent that national security could be threatened. All
catastrophic events are Incidents of National Significance.
Chain of Command - A series of command, control, executive, or management positions in
hierarchal order of authority.
Command Staff - In an incident management organization, the Command Staff consists of the
Incident Command and the special staff positions of Public Information Officer, Safety Officer,
Liaison Officer and other positions as required, who report directly to the Incident
Commander. They may have an assistant or assistants, as needed.
Common Operational Picture (COP) – is a single identical display of relevant (operational)
information (e.g. position of resources, position and status of important infrastructure such as
bridges, roads, etc.) shared by more than one Command. A COP facilitates collaborative
planning and combined execution and assists all echelons to achieve situational awareness.
Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CEMP) – plan used as a guiding document
when executing response or recovery operations during a disaster or emergency and to guide
preparedness and mitigation operations.
Critical Infrastructures - Systems and assets, whether physical or virtual, so vital to the United
States that the incapacity or destruction of such systems and assets would have a debilitating
impact on security, national economic security, national public health or safety, or any
combination of those matters.
Disaster - See Major Disaster.
Emergency - As defined by the Stafford Act, an emergency is “any occasion or instance for
such, in the determination of the President, federal assistance is needed to supplement state
and local efforts and capabilities to save lives and to protect property and public health and
safety, or to lessen or avert the threat of a catastrophe in any part of the United States.
Emergency Operations Center (EOC) / Emergency Coordination Center (ECC) - The
physical location at which the coordination of information and resources to support domestic
incident management activities normally takes place. An EOC may be a temporary facility or
Salt Lake City Council Emergency Group Handbook | Page 18
may be located in a more central or permanently established facility, perhaps at a higher level
of organization within a jurisdiction. EOCs may be organized by major functional disciplines
(i.e., fire, law enforcement, and medical services), by jurisdiction (i.e., federal, state, regional,
county, city, tribal) or by some combination thereof.
Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) - The “steady-state” plan maintained by various
jurisdictional levels for managing a wide variety of potential hazards.
Emergency Support Function (ESF) - A grouping of government and certain private-sector
capabilities into tan organizational structure to provide the support, resources, program
implementation and services that are most likely to be needed to save lives, protect property
and the environment, restore essential services and critical infrastructure, and help victims and
communities return to normal, when feasible, following domestic incidents. The ESFs serve as
the primary operational-level mechanism to provide assistance to state, local, and tribal
governments or to federal departments and agencies conducting missions of primary federal
responsibility.
Hazard - Something that is potentially dangerous or harmful, often the root cause of an
unwanted outcome.
Hazard Mitigation - Any cost-effective measure which will reduce the potential for damage to
a facility from a disaster event.
Hazardous Material - A substance or material, including a hazardous substance capable of
posing an unreasonable risk to health, safety, and property.
Hazardous Substance - As defined by the NCP, any substance designated pursuant to section
311(b)(2)(A) mixture, solution, or substance designated pursuant to section 102 of the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA); any
hazardous waste having the characteristics identified under or listed pursuant to section 3001
of the Solid Waste Disposal Act (but not including any waste the regulation of which under the
Solid Waste Disposal Act (42 U.S.C. §6901 et seq.) has been suspended by act of Congress);
any toxic pollutant listed under section 307(a) of the Clean Water Act; any hazardous air
pollutant listed under section 112 of the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. §7521 et seq); and any
imminently hazardous chemical substance or mixture with respect to which the EPA
Administrator has taken action pursuant to section 7 of the Toxic Substances Control Act 15
U.S.C. §2601 et seq.).
Incident - An occurrence or event, natural or human-caused, that requires an emergency
response to protect life or property. Incidents can, for example, include major disasters,
emergencies, terrorist attacks, terrorist threats, wild land and urban fires, floods, hazardous
materials spills, nuclear accidents, aircraft accidents, earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes,
tropical storms, war-related disasters, public health and medical emergencies, and other
occurrences requiring an emergency response.
Incident Action Plan - An oral or written plan containing general objectives reflecting the
overall strategy for managing an incident. It may include the identification of operational
Salt Lake City Council Emergency Group Handbook | Page 19
resources and assignments. It may also include attachments that provide direction and
important information for the management of the incident during one or more operational
periods.
Incident Command Post (ICP) - The filed location at which the primary tactical-level, on-scene
incident command functions are performed. The ICP may be co-located with the incident base
or other incident facilities and is normally identified by a green rotating or flashing light.
Incident Command System (ICS) - A standardized on-scene emergency management
construct specifically designed to provide for the adoption of an integrated organizational
structure that reflects the complexity and demands of single or multiple incidents, without
being hindered by jurisdictional boundaries. ICS is the combination of facilities, equipment,
personnel, procedures, and communications operating with a common organizational
structure, designed to aid in the management of resources during incidents. ICS is used for all
kinds of emergencies and is applicable to small as well as large and complex incidents. ICS is
used by various jurisdictions and functional agencies, both public and private, or organized
field-level incident management operations.
Incident Commander - The individual responsible for all incident activities, including the
development of strategies and tactics and the ordering and release of resources. The IC has
overall authority and responsibility for conduction incident operations and is responsible for
the management of all incident operations at the incident site.

and General Staff personnel assigned to an incident.
Incident Mitigation - Actions taken during an incident designed to minimize impacts or
contain the damages to property or the environment.
Incident of National Significance - Based on criteria established in HSPD-5, an actual or
potential high-impact event that requires a coordinated and effective response by and
appropriate combination of federal, state, local, tribal, non-governmental, and/or private-
sector entities in order to save lives and minimize damage and provide the basis for long-term
community recovery and mitigation activities.
Infrastructure - The human-made physical systems, assets, projects and structures, publicly
and/or privately owned that are used by or provide benefit to the public. Examples of
infrastructure include utilities, bridges, levees, drinking water systems, electrical systems,
communications systems, dams, sewage systems and roads.
Initial Actions - The actions taken by those responders first to arrive at an incident site.
Initial Response - Resources initially committed to an incident.
Initial Response Resources (IRR) - Disaster support commodities that may be pre-staged, in
anticipation of a catastrophic event, at a federal facility close to a disaster area for immediate
application through an NRP ESF operation. The initial response resources are provided to
Salt Lake City Council Emergency Group Handbook | Page 20
victims and all levels of government responders immediately after a disaster occurs. They are
designed to augment state and local capabilities. DHS/EPR/FEMA Logistics Division stores and
maintains critically needed initial response commodities for victims and responders and pre-
positions supplies and equipment when required. The initial response resources include
supplies (baby food, baby formula, blankets, cots, diapers, meals ready-to-eat, plastic
sheeting, tents, and water) and equipment (emergency generators, industrial icemakers,
mobile kitchen kits, portable toilets with service, portable showers, and refrigerated vans).
Jurisdiction - A range or sphere of authority. Public agencies have jurisdiction at an incident
related to their legal responsibilities and authorities. Jurisdictional authority at an incident can
be political or geographical (e.g., city, county, tribal, state, or federal boundary lines) or
functional (e.g., law enforcement, public health).
Liaison Officer - A member of the Command Staff responsible for coordinating with
representatives from cooperating and assisting agencies.
Local Government - A county, municipality, city, town, township local public authority, school
district, special district, intrastate district, council of governments (regardless of whether the
council of governments is incorporated as a nonprofit cooperation under state law), regional
or interstate government entity, or agency tribe or authorized tribal organization or , in Alaska,
a rural community, unincorporated town or village, or other public entity (As defined in section
2(10) of the Homeland Security Act of 2002, Public Law 107-296, 116 Stat. 2136, et seq. (2002).)
Major Disaster - As defined by the Stafford Act, any natural catastrophe (including any
hurricane, tornado, storm, high water, wind-driven water, tidal wave, tsunami, earthquake,
volcanic eruption, landslide, mudslide, snowstorm or drought) or, regardless of cause, any fire,
flood or explosion, in any part of the United States, which in the determination of the President
causes damage of sufficient severity and magnitude to warrant major disaster assistance under
this act to supplement the efforts and available resources of state, local governments, and
disaster relief organizations in alleviating the damage, loss, hardship, or suffering caused
thereby.
Mitigation - Activities designed to reduce or eliminate risks to persons or property or to lessen
the actual or potential effects or consequences of an incident. Mitigation measures may be
implemented prior to, during or after an incident. Mitigation measures are often developed in
accordance with lessons learned from prior incidents. Mitigation involves ongoing actions to
reduce exposure to, probability of, or potential loss from hazards. Measures may include
zoning and building codes, flood plain buyouts, and analysis of hazard-related data to
determine where it is safe to build of locate temporary facilities. Mitigation can include efforts
to educate governments, businesses, and the public on measures they can take to reduce loss
and injury.
Mobilization - The process and procedures used by all organizations – federal, state, local,
and tribal – for activating assembling, and transporting all resources that have been requested
to respond to or support an incident.
Salt Lake City Council Emergency Group Handbook | Page 21
Mutual Aid Agreement - Written agreement between agencies, organizations, and/or
jurisdictions that they will assist one another on request by furnishing personnel, equipment

governance and policy.
National Disaster Medical System (NDMS) - A coordinated partnership between DHS, HHS,
DOD, and the Department of Veterans Affairs established for the purpose of responding to the
needs of victims of a public health emergency. NDMS provides medical response assets and
the movement of patients to health care facilities where definitive medical care is received
when required.
National Incident Management System (NIMS) - A system mandated by HSPD-5 that
provides a consistent, nationwide approach for federal, state, local, and tribal governments;
the private sector and NGOs to work effectively and efficiently together to prepare for, respond
to, and recover from domestic incidents, regardless of cause, size or complexity. To provide
for interoperability and compatibility among federal, state, local and tribal capabilities, the
NIMS includes a core set of concepts, principles, and terminology. HSPD-5 identifies these as
the ICS; multi-agency coordination systems, training, identification, and management of
resources (including systems for classifying types of resources); qualification and certification;
and the collection, tracking, and reporting of incident information and incident resources.
Non-governmental Organization (NGO) - A nonprofit entity that is based on interests of its
members, individuals, or institutions and that is not created by a government but may work
cooperatively with government. Such organizations serve a public purpose, not a private
benefit. Examples of NGOs include faith-based charity organizations and the American Red
Cross.
Preparedness - The range of deliberate, critical tasks and activities necessary to build, sustain,
and improve the operational capability to prevent, protect against, respond to, and recover
from domestic incidents. Preparedness is a continuous process involving efforts at all levels of

to identify lessons learned; and develop initiatives to mitigate the effects of future incidents.
Resources - Personnel and major items of equipment, supplies, and facilities available or
potentially available for assignment to incident operations and for which status is maintained.
Resources are described by kind and type and may be used in operational support or
supervisory capacities at an incident or at an EOC/ECC.
Response - Activities that address the short-term, direct effects of an incident. Response
includes immediate actions to save lives, protect property, and meet basic human
needs. Response also includes the execution of emergency operations plans and of incident
mitigation activities designed to limit the loss of life, personal injury, property damage and
other unfavorable outcomes. As indicated by the situation, response activities include:
applying intelligence and other information to lessen the effects or consequences of an
incident; increased security operations; continuing investigations into the nature and source
of the threat; ongoing public health and agricultural surveillance and testing processes;
immunizations, isolation, or quarantine; and specific law enforcement operations aimed at
preempting, interdicting, or disrupting illegal activity, and apprehending actual perpetrators
and bringing them to justice.

SALT LAKE CITY
Comprehensive Emergency
Management Plan
Revised December 2023
THIS PAGE LEFT BLANK INTENTIONALLY
Salt Lake City Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan | Page 1
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Salt Lake City Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CEMP) establishes the
framework through which Salt Lake City will respond to, recover from, prepare for, and
mitigate against all hazards that threaten Salt Lake City. Local government has the
primary responsibility of emergency management activities. When the emergency
exceeds the local government’s capabilities to respond, assistance will be requested
from Salt Lake County, and then the State of Utah. The Federal Government will aid the
State when appropriate. This plan is based upon the concept that the emergency
functions for city departments, functions or groups will generally parallel their normal
day-to-day functions. To the extent possible, the same personnel and material resources
will be employed in both cases.
Along with the supporting documents section, this plan is intended to be used as a guide
when executing response or recovery operations during a disaster and to guide
preparedness and mitigation operations.
Salt Lake City has chosen to mirror the Salt Lake County CEMP to standardize documents
that set forth the city’s role in organizing and responding to emergencies within the
jurisdiction.
The intended audience for the CEMP includes:
• Salt Lake City leadership
• Salt Lake City Division of Emergency Management (EM) staff
• Salt Lake City staff expected to support response, recovery, preparedness, and
mitigation operations
• Salt Lake City, County, State, federal, private-sector, and non-governmental
organizations (NGO) that may support response, recovery, preparedness, and
recovery operations
Navigating the Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan
The following sections in the CEMP provide direction on emergency or disaster
activation, response, recovery, preparedness, and mitigation procedures.
Activation occurs after identifying an occurring or imminent emergency or disaster
incident. Operations in this section include:
• Assessing the scope and potential impacts of the emergency
• Convening the Policy Group and senior leadership to determine response
priorities and next steps
• Activating the CEMP to facilitate response and recovery operations
• Determining which Salt Lake City facilities are activated to support response and
recovery operations
Salt Lake City Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan | Page 2
• Staffing the Emergency Coordination Center (ECC) to facilitate and support
response and recovery operations
Response includes immediate operations following the identification of an occurring or
imminent emergency or disaster to save lives and prevent further property damage.
Operations in this section include:
• Forming a common operating picture to ensure situational awareness among
responding entities
• Developing and documenting incident priorities through the Incident Action Plan
(IAP)
• Issuing and/or coordinating with the County for timely and accurate public
warning and guidance to the community
• Implementing protective actions, such as evacuations and sheltering, to save lives
and property
• Coordinating with partners such as other municipalities, the County, and the State
to support emergency or disaster response
• Documenting response operations to support audits, documentation policies,
and transition to recovery operations
Recovery operations support returning the community to pre-emergency or disaster
conditions. Operations in this section include:
• Transitioning from response to recovery operations
• Assessing recovery needs of the community to execute targeted recovery
operations
• Initiating long-term recovery efforts to support the community returning to normal
Preparedness operations prepare for and mitigate the impacts of all hazards.
Operations in this section include:
• Developing planning documentation to formalize capabilities and procedures
that prepare for and mitigate the impacts of emergencies and disasters
• Conducting mitigation planning to build resilience and identify mitigation actions
to lessen the impacts of specific hazards
• Training and exercising on plans and procedures to support execution of
response and recovery operations
• Involving the public in emergency management through outreach to increase
community preparedness

1. BASE PLAN INTRODUCTION
The Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CEMP) establishes the framework
through which Salt Lake City will respond to, recover from, prepare for, and mitigate
against all hazards that threaten Salt Lake City. It describes the comprehensive
integration and coordination of all levels of municipal, county, state, and federal
government, volunteer organizations, non-profit agencies, and the private sector.
1.1 Purpose
The base plan provides a comprehensive overview of scalable command and control
structures and operational procedures across all levels of government to prepare for,
respond to, recover from, and mitigate against all hazards. The base plan for Salt Lake
City establishes a framework for an effective system of comprehensive emergency
operations and management for the purpose of:
• Reducing the loss of life, injury, property damage and loss from natural or man-
made emergencies.
• Preparing for prompt and efficient response activities to protect lives and
property impacted by emergencies.
• Responding to emergencies with the effective use of all relevant plans and
appropriate resources.
• Providing for the rapid and orderly implementation of recovery operations.
• Assisting in awareness, education, prevention, and mitigation of emergencies
National Incident Management System Compliance
Response and recovery coordination structures in the base plan are designed to reflect
the National Incident Management System (NIMS), which was adopted by the entire
State via Utah Governor Executive Order 2004-0012.
As defined in the National Incident Management System, 2017, the core components of
NIMS include:
o Resource Management: Standard mechanisms to systematically manage
resources (e.g., personnel, equipment, supplies, teams, and facilities) both before
and during incidents, to help organizations more effectively share resources when
needed.
o Command and Coordination: Leadership roles, processes, and recommended
organizational structures for incident management at the operational and incident
support levels, and an explanation of how these structures interact to manage
incidents effectively and efficiently.
Salt Lake City Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan | Page 10
o Communications and Information Management: Systems and methods that
help ensure incident personnel and other decision makers have the means and
information they need to make and communicate decisions.
1.2 Scope
The CEMP consists of this base plan and supporting components. These components
consist of 15 Emergency Support Function (ESF) and six Recovery Support Function (RSF)
checklists and hazard-specific annexes.
• The Base Plan provides information regarding policy and operations focused on
coordination, command and control structures, roles and responsibilities,
procedures, and resources for the City and its departments that support
response, recovery, preparedness, and mitigation for all hazards.
• The Emergency Support Functions (ESF) annex provide an overview of the 15
ESFs and include step-by-step actions for activation, response, and transition to
recovery operations. The checklists are contained in this CEMP.
• The Recovery Support Functions (RSF) annex provide an overview of Salt Lake
City specific step-by-step actions for recovery operations and considerations. The
checklists are contained in the RSF supporting annex.
• The Continuity of Operations Plan for each city department outlines procedures
to ensure essential functions continue to be performed during the disruption of
typical operations.
• The Functional-specific annexes describe general aspects, actions, and
considerations for critical operation functions.
• The Hazard-specific annexes describe unique aspects, actions, and
considerations for specific hazards.
1.3 Authorities and References
The CEMP base plan and accompanying components are governed by multiple City,
County, State, and Federal authorities to include:
• The Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (P.L. 100-
707) Title 44, Code of Federal Regulations, Emergency Management and
Assistance
• The Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA)
• The National Homeland Security and Combating Terrorism Act of 2002 (S.
2452)
• The National Incident Management System
• The National Response Framework
Salt Lake City Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan | Page 11
• State Laws
• City Code and Ordinance
• Other authorities as required
These presuppose an active emergency management function at all levels of
government, and they emphasize the need for emergency planning in advance of the
disaster.
The Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act provides for
federal assistance to state and local governments after a disaster. It provides for
declaration of a disaster by the President, appointment of coordinating officers, and
utilization of various federal resources in the disaster area. The law directs the President
to assist states in developing plans and preparing programs for disaster response and
mitigation.
The Stafford Act has public and private provisions that cover certain costs following a
declared disaster. The public assistance sections provide for federal contributions to
remove debris and to repair or replace facilities and infrastructure that belong to state
or local government or to private, non-profit organizations. The federal reimbursement
may include costs for equipment, materials, contracts and labor costs for base pay or
overtime for regular and temporary or “special hire” employees.
The Individuals and Households sections of the law provide federal assistance for
private individuals affected by the disaster once loss thresholds are met. Housing and
other needs assistance may be provided to homeowners, renters, or individuals.
Housing assistance may take the form of a grant for temporary housing (hotels,
apartments, and travel-trailers), a repair assistance grant, or limited money to help
replace a destroyed home. Other needs assistance includes grants to replace personal
property, to repair or replace automobiles, or to reimburse victims for other serious and
necessary disaster losses such as medical, dental, or funerals. Other provisions may
include disaster unemployment assistance, food stamps assistance, direct distribution
of food, legal services, emergency public transportation, and crisis counseling.
The aforementioned laws and directives are dependent on a presidential disaster
declaration and on appropriate demonstration of need. When a disaster does strike, a
victim’s primary method of applying for assistance is by registering with the Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) via telephone. Additionally, federal and state
disaster workers may establish a Disaster Recovery Center (DRC) where citizens can
receive help in applying for the above-mentioned assistance or in coping with other
aspects of their disaster loss.
The federal government amended the Stafford Act to include the provisions of the Civil
Defense Act of 1951. This law provided money to state and local governments to build
Salt Lake City Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan | Page 12
emergency management capabilities. Although the law originally provided for
preparedness against enemy attack, its inclusion into the Stafford act expands it to
include preparedness for all hazards that may affect a community.
As defined in the law, the purpose of the emergency management program is to:
• minimize the effects of disaster.
• respond to emergency conditions.
• repair and restore vital infrastructure and facilities.
Identifying hazards, analyzing our capabilities, and planning a comprehensive response
meet these goals. The law places responsibility for this preparedness jointly on federal,
state, and local (municipal or county) governments.
The National Homeland Security and Combating Terrorism Act of 2002 (S.
2452), Implementing Recommendations of the 9/11 Commission Act of
2007 (Public Law 110-53), and the Consolidated Security, Disaster
Assistance and Continuing Appropriations Act of 2009 (Public Law 110-
329), restructures and strengthens the executive branch of the federal
government to better meet the threat to our homeland posed by
terrorism. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has the primary
mission to help prevent, protect against, and respond to acts of terrorism
on our soil. Title VIII, Coordination with Non- Federal entities, and others,
establishes the Office for State and Local Government Coordination to
oversee and coordinate departmental programs for and relationships with
state and local governments. This section allows for assessment and
advocacy for the resources needed by state and local governments to
implement the national strategy for combating terrorism.
The Grants Program Directorate (GPD) is charged with coordinating preparedness
efforts at the federal level, and working with all state, local, tribal, parish, and private
sector emergency response providers on all matters pertaining to combating terrorism,
including training, exercises, and equipment support. The GPD supervises the
preparedness grant programs of the federal government. Local governments receive
the benefits of the grant funding. The county is the administrator for some of the federal
preparedness grant programs and provides management and administration of these
grant programs.
The National Incident Management System (NIMS) was initially published by the DHS on
December 18, 2008. It provides a comprehensive and consistent national approach to
all- hazard incident management at all jurisdictional levels and across all functional
emergency management disciplines.
Salt Lake City Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan | Page 13
Elected and appointed officials should have a clear understanding of their roles and
responsibilities for successful emergency management and incident response. These
officials include administrative and political personnel, as well as department/agency
administrators who have leadership roles in a jurisdiction, including legislators and chief
executives, whether elected (e.g., governors, mayors, sheriffs, tribal leaders, and county
executives) or appointed (e.g., county administrators and city managers). Although their
roles may require providing direction and guidance to constituents during an incident,
their day-to-day activities do not necessarily focus on emergency management and
incident response.
To better serve their constituents, elected and appointed officials should do the
following:
• Understand, commit to, adopt, and receive NIMS training.
• Provide guidance to their jurisdictions, departments, and/or agencies, with
clearly stated policies for NIMS implementation.
• Participate in exercises.
• Maintain an understanding of basic emergency management, Continuity of
Operations (COOP) and Continuity of Government (COG) plans, jurisdictional
response capabilities, and initiation of disaster declarations.
• Lead and encourage preparedness efforts within the community, agencies of
the jurisdiction, Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), and the private
sector, as appropriate.
• Help to establish relationships (including mutual aid agreements and assistance
agreements) with other jurisdictions and, as appropriate, NGOs and the private
sector.
• Support and encourage participation in mitigation efforts within the jurisdiction
and, as appropriate, with NGOs and the private sector.
• Understand laws and regulations in their jurisdictions that pertain to emergency
management and incident response.
• Maintain awareness of designated Critical Infrastructure and Key Resources
(collectively CI/KR) within their jurisdictions, potential incident impacts, and
restoration priorities.
Elected and appointed officials may also be called upon to help shape and revise laws,
policies, and budgets to aid in preparedness efforts and to improve emergency
management and incident response activities.
An incident may have a mix of political, economic, social, environmental, public safety,
public health, and financial implications with potentially serious long-term effects.
Frequently, incidents require a coordinated response across agencies, jurisdictions,
including NGOs and the private sector, during which elected and appointed officials
must make difficult decisions under crisis conditions. Elected and appointed officials
Salt Lake City Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan | Page 14
should be aware of how NIMS can work to ensure cooperative response efforts, thereby
minimizing the potential implications of an incident.
1.4 Access and Functional Needs
Salt Lake City and the emergency management plans created strive to encompass the
whole community in a way that provides equal access and response during a disaster.
The goal of any plan or response model is to provide services and support to anyone
affected by catastrophic events. Realizing the specific make-up of a population can better
prepare emergency management professionals in planning for equal access, physical
access, access to effective communication, inclusion, integration, and program
modifications.
The Department of Justice define Access and Functional Needs as
“those actions, services, accommodations, and programmatic, architectural, and
communication modifications that a covered entity must undertake or provide to
afford individuals with disabilities a full and equal opportunity to use and enjoy
programs, services, activities, goods, facilities, privileges, advantages, and
accommodations in the most integrated setting, in light of the exigent
circumstances of the emergency and the legal obligation to undertake advance
planning and prepare to meet the disability-related needs of individuals who
have disabilities as defined by the ADA Amendments Act of 2008, P.L. 110-325,
and those associated with them.”
The ADA and other laws outline steps for disaster operations that apply to preparation,
notification, evacuation and transportation, sheltering, first aid and medical services,
temporary housing, transition back to the community, clean up, and other disaster
related services. This Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan and supporting
documents include guidance on local procedures for meeting these needs
requirements and identifying methods for achieving equitable emergency management
programs.
2. SALT LAKE CITY HAZARDS
2.1 Hazard Overview
The Salt Lake County Hazard Mitigation Plan identifies the hazards that pose a risk to Salt
Lake City and details their potential impacts. Figure 2.1 provides an overview of those
hazards. Additional information on each of the hazards and their impacts can be found
in the Hazard Annexes.
Salt Lake City Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan | Page 15
Figure 2. 1: County Hazard Overview
2.2 Identifying Hazard Vulnerabilities
The two core documents and planning processes that identify the City’s vulnerabilities to
hazards are the Salt Lake County Hazard Mitigation Plan and the Threat and Hazard
Identification and Risk Assessment (THIRA). Decision-makers consider the vulnerabilities
in Figure 2.2 when assessing the impacts or potential impacts of disaster or emergency
incidents.
Figure 2. 2: Types of Vulnerability
The base plan has five hazard-specific annexes that describe unique aspects, actions, and
considerations for each of the following hazards:
• Wildfire
• Earthquake
• Severe Weather
• Public Health
• Active Threat
Salt Lake City Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan | Page 16
3. ASSUMPTIONS
The following planning assumptions in Table 3.1 were considered in the development
and execution of the base plan.
Table 3.1: Base Plan Assumptions
Group Assumptions
Coordination
Structures
● Municipal, County, State, and federal response organizations adopt NIMS as the
integrated system to respond to and recover from incidents.
● Emergency Management coordination and resource allocation starts at the city
level and extends to County, State, and federal resources as availability and
capabilities are exhausted.
● The Salt Lake City Emergency Coordination Center (ECC) is staffed with
representatives from City Departments and private organizations grouped under
the ECC/ICS hybrid model with Emergency Support Function (ESF) structure during
response and the Recovery Support Function (RSF) structure during recovery.
Activation
● Some activation notifications and communications depend on availability of
communications and energy infrastructure.
● Damaged infrastructure impacts the speed at which municipal, special service
district, County, State, and federal agencies can activate and deploy resources.
Response
● Salt Lake City makes every reasonable effort to respond in the event of an
emergency or disaster.
● Time of occurrence, severity of impact, weather conditions, population density,
building construction, and cascading events are significant factors that affect
casualties and damage.
● Emergency response capabilities are diminished due to damaged infrastructure and
equipment or inaccessible locales.
● Damages to infrastructure are likely to manifest in direct physical and economic
damages to facilities and systems.
● Disaster relief from agencies outside Salt Lake City may take 72 hours or more to
arrive.
Recovery
● Recovery of losses or reimbursements of costs from federal assistance requires
preparation and compliance with federal statutes and regulations.
● The economic and physical limitations of recovery operations may result in
temporary or protracted interruptions to services.
Preparedness
and Mitigation
● Effective preparedness requires ongoing public community awareness and
education programs so that citizens are prepared and understand their
responsibilities should a major disaster or emergency occur.
● Residents living within Salt Lake City boundaries should maintain essential supplies
to be self-sufficient for a minimum of 96 hours and up to two weeks following the
initial impacts of an emergency or disaster.
● Effective mitigation may prevent certain hazards or incidents from occurring. For
hazards or incidents that cannot be prevented, effective mitigation may reduce
their impacts.
Salt Lake City Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan | Page 17
4. CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS
The concept of operations describes command and control structures, operations, and
mechanisms Salt Lake City utilizes to activate, respond to, recover from, and prepare for
all hazards. All emergency and disaster incidents are unique; operations are guided by
the scope of impacts and available resources and capabilities. Figure 4.1 illustrates the
general sequence of events during emergencies and disasters that are expanded upon
in the concept of operations.
Figure 4.1: Concept of Operations
Salt Lake City Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan | Page 18
4.1 Activation
Effective and timely life and property saving operations often depend on prompt
identification and activation of resources during a disaster or emergency. This section
provides an overview of operations that occur after identifying an occurring or imminent
emergency or disaster incident.

Key Activities
• Emergency Management (EM) and first responders assess potential or actual
emergencies to determine whether the CEMP should be activated, in
coordination with the Policy Group.
• EM, first responders, the Policy Group, and the Salt Lake City Mayor determine
which emergency management facilities should be used to support response.
• EM determines which organizational structures and staff need to be mobilized to
support activated facilities.
• EM notifies personnel they have been activated to support response.
4.1.1 Assess the Emergency
Salt Lake City first responders are often the first agency to identify an imminent or
potential emergency or disaster. Responding agencies on-scene utilize coordination
structures defined in NIMS to respond to and assess the scope or potential impacts of
the incident. Considerations when assessing the scope or potential impacts include:
• Potential for loss of life or injury
• Potential damage to property, roads, electricity, water, and other infrastructure
• Amount of time before incident impact
• Potential economic disruption
Following an initial assessment, responding departments or first responders determine
actions, including activation of resources, plans, communication, scaling up response
operations, and coordinating with Salt Lake City Emergency Management who will
coordinate with Salt Lake County EM if needed.
Salt Lake City Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan | Page 19
4.1.2 Convene Policy Group and Senior Leadership
Responding departments should use established communications channels to notify
their senior decision-makers and the Salt Lake City Emergency Management Duty
Officer. The Salt Lake City Emergency Manager, Deputy, or Duty Officer will then make
notifications to the Salt Lake City Mayor, the Standing Policy Group or the Full Policy
Group, of imminent or occurring emergencies or disasters. These channels of Policy
Group notification include:
• City Emergency Notification Program (RAVE)
• SART TEAMS Meeting
• Conference call backup
• Radio Communication
• EM Duty Officer through phone tree
• SLC911 Dispatch Center
The EM Duty Officer is constantly monitoring events within the City and County. An EM
Duty Officer (DO) is always on-call to monitor and follow up on situations, threats, or
events. Upon notification or identification of a threat, the DO is responsible for notifying
other EM staff and acting accordingly to activate or elevate activation of the Emergency
Coordination Center (ECC), as necessary. Once the Emergency Manager arrives at the
ECC they will assume management of the ECC.
4.1.2.1 The Policy Group
The Policy Group consists of elected officials, relevant department heads, and incident-
specific leadership. They oversee and participate in emergency decision-making and
issue appropriate emergency proclamations, resolutions, and executive orders. Their
role is to provide overall direction and objectives that inform response operations and
priorities. Other Policy Group responsibilities include but are not limited to:
• Promulgating plans for safeguarding the lives and property of the residents of the
City
• Providing for the continuance of effective and orderly governmental control for
emergency and recovery operations
• Overseeing and participating in emergency policy decision-making
The Standing Policy Group for Salt Lake City consists of the following city personnel:
• Mayor
• Chief Administrative Officer
• Chief of Staff
• Chief Financial Officer
• Chief Information Officer
Salt Lake City Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan | Page 20
• Chief of Police
• City Attorney
• Communications Director
• Council Executive Chair
• Fire Chief
• Parks & Public Lands Director
• Public Services Director
• Public Utilities Director
• SLC911 Director
• Other Department Directors as needed
Salt Lake City Joint Information System
Salt Lake City procedures for
policy group, emergency
coordination center, and
incident command use the
standard FEMA model for an
ICS/ECC interface.
Communications between the
policy group, ECC, and ICS
will utilize liaisons and basic
unity of command shown in
this figure.
4.1.3 Determine Whether CEMP Activation is Required
Upon identification or warning of an incident, the following senior decision-makers have
the authority to activate the CEMP:
• Salt Lake City Mayor or designee
• Salt Lake City Emergency Manager or designee
• EM Duty Officer (DO)
• Fire Chief or designee
• Police Chief or designee
Salt Lake City Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan | Page 21
Senior leadership considers the initial assessment from first responders to determine if
the CEMP and operations within should be activated. Once the CEMP has been
activated, relevant City Departments, County and State agencies, and partners are
notified to implement the subsequent sections of this plan.
Warn the Community About Imminent Threats
If an emergency or disaster poses an immediate risk to the community, first responder
departments, in coordination with the City Joint Information Center Manager and the
City Emergency Management Duty Officer can activate alert and warnings to the
community. Protective actions should be implemented as rapidly as possible. If needed,
authorized personnel will coordinate with Salt Lake County Emergency Management for
Integrated Public Alert & Warning System (iPAWS) messaging.
4.1.3.1 Determine Which Emergency Facilities to Use
Decide Which Facilities are Necessary to Support Response
Following the activation of the CEMP, the Salt Lake City Emergency Manager or designee
coordinates with the Salt Lake City Mayor, the Policy Group, first responding
departments, and other Salt Lake City leadership. Together, they determine which
facilities to activate.
4.1.3.2 Activate the Emergency Coordination Center
The Salt Lake City Mayor, Emergency Manager, EM Duty Officer (DO), or their interim
successors may activate the ECC at one of five levels in response to an emergency or
disaster, depending on the severity. ECC activation levels provide a means for
centralized response and recovery, with operational plans and activities focused on
efficiency, quality, and quantity of resources. The five levels of activation, potential
conditions for activation and staffing guidelines are described in the following table.
Upon identification of a potential incident or receipt of a notification, EM is responsible
for:
• Contacting the Mayor or designee to discuss the potential ECC activation
• Determining to activate the ECC, either independently or at the direction of City
Leadership
• Activating the ECC at the proper level based on the scope and size of the disaster
or emergency
• Notifying all relevant stakeholders and response partners of ECC activation
through identified communications channels
• Monitoring the emergency or disaster situation to escalate or de-escalate the ECC
activation level
Salt Lake City Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan | Page 22
4.1.3.3 ECC Activation Levels
The Mayor, Emergency Manager, or EM Duty Officer (DO) will activate the ECC at the
level appropriate for the incident. ECC Director checklists provide guidance on activation
procedures and notifications. The activation level can be changed during an event to
accommodate changes in circumstances.
Table 4.3 : Emergency Coordination Center Levels

4.1.3.5 Staff the Emergency Coordination Center (ECC)
When an event requires ECC activation, the Salt Lake City Emergency Manager or
designee determines which ECC sections, branches, and positions are activated or
deactivated depending on the emergency or disaster's scope and size.
The ECC uses an ICS/Hybrid Structure to respond to incidents and is organized by:
• Sections that group the operations of the four core functions of the ECC
• Branches that organize section-specific operations and may have a combination
of ESF and ECC positions
• ESF positions and units that are groupings of similar organizations and agencies
to support section and branch-specific operations
• ECC positions provide specific support for ECC sections and overall ECC
operations, such as safety, communications support, and documentation
Error! Reference source not found.5 provides an overview of the Salt Lake City ECC
structure, including sections, branches, and positions.

__________________________________________________
4.1.3.8 Notify Personnel of Activation
Once the Salt Lake City Emergency Manager or designee has decided to activate ECC
sections, branches, ESFs, and positions, EM notifies City staff and supporting
organizations of their activation and expected next steps. Activation notifications can be
sent through a variety of channels, including:
• Phone calls
• Emails
• Text alerts
• Microsoft Teams or City Video Conferencing Software
• RAVE or City Alerting Software
Figure 4.6 shows the communication flow path and emergency check-in process for
parties that respond to and have a responsibility in the SLC ECC. Detailed information
and supplemental documents regarding procedures for ECC activation can be found in
the Salt Lake City Fire Department Emergency Management Policies and Procedures.
Salt Lake City Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan | Page 27
4.2 Response
Response begins immediately after an incident occurs or is identified. Response
operations often start at the Department level, then expand to the City ECC, County,
State, and Federal support as the needs of the incident exceed capabilities. In
compliance with Homeland Security Presidential Directive 5, municipal, special service
district, County, State, and responding federal entities utilize NIMS as the coordination
structure to facilitate command and control during response operations. An effective
response depends on proper incident evaluation, rapid interagency coordination, and
efficient utilization of available resources.
Response operations consist of immediate actions that save lives and prevent further
property damage, such as fire suppression, food distribution, and communicating
emergency public information. Municipal, County, and State agencies are responsible for
executing these actions to limit the impacts of the incident on the affected community.
Figure 3.7: Response Phase Overview
Key Activities
• First responders perform immediate life-saving and protective actions as they
arrive on-scene of the incident.
• Incident Command directs first responders, supporting agencies, and the ECC to
coordinate protective actions.
• ECC coordinates interagency information sharing to establish a common
operating picture and maintain situational awareness across the response.
• ECC organizes ESF Operations Support around the assessment and stabilization
of Community Lifelines.
• EM, first responders, the Joint Information Center (JIC) and other supporting City
entities provide warning and status updates to the community through various
notification platforms.
• EM coordinates agencies and organizations to conduct rapid damage
assessments (RDA) and initial damage estimates to determine immediate
response needs and begin to estimate monetary damages.
Salt Lake City Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan | Page 28
• The ECC Logistics Coordination Section with assistance from the Finance
Coordination Section identifies and procures requested resources and
coordinates distribution.
• Municipal and County agencies coordinate a request for a disaster declaration
through the State if the disaster or emergency incident overwhelms municipal
capabilities.
• The ECC Finance/Administration Section and the Planning Coordination Section
collect incident-related documentation.
4.2.1 Establish a Common Operating Picture
In critical situations, effective decision-making relies on a comprehensive understanding
of the strategic environment. For first responders, elected officials, members of the Policy
Group, and supply chain managers alike, maintaining robust situational awareness over
real-time events is essential. A common operating picture facilitates situational
awareness and information sharing and ensures incident leadership across all agencies
can make effective and consistent decisions.
The ECC Director and ECC Planning Support Section determine the procedures and
integrated systems that first responder, and City entities utilize to establish a common
operating picture. They include but are not limited to:
• Updates through phone, text, and email
• Recurring scheduled meetings providing status updates
• Development and dissemination of Situation Reports (SitReps)
• Information and data management tools
Field Response and Tactical Operations
City first responder agencies are often first on the scene of an imminent or actualized emergency or
disaster incident. They will respond to incidents to protect life, safety, and property based on internal
SOPs. These agencies often set up ICS structures to coordinate interagency operations.
EM and the ECC staff coordinate with the Incident Command Post (ICP) regularly to support field
response by identifying additional resources, disseminating public information, and coordinating mass
care operations. The ECC coordinates with field response through the ECC Operations Coordination
Section by communicating with first responder agency liaisons.
Salt Lake City Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan | Page 29
4.2.2 Determine Incident Priorities
4.2.2.1 Develop an Incident Action Plan
The ECC Planning Coordination Section, in coordination with other ECC sections,
develops an Incident Action Plan (IAP) to organize the goals, priorities, resources, and
staffing for response operations. The IAP is updated periodically (e.g., daily, weekly)
based on the tempo of response operations. Elements of the IAP include:
WebEOC Overview
WebEOC is a web-based data information and management tool that is integral in forming a
common operating picture among municipal, County, and State agencies. The functionalities
of this tool allow users of all agencies to:
• Provide situation status updates and share significant events.
• Request and track resources.
• Input and share damage assessment information.
• Track sheltering status and capacity.
WebEOC automatically documents incident communications and information that is needed
for audit purposes or review for an AAR.
Establish a Common Operating Picture Early and Throughout Response
The common operating picture provides the foundation for information sharing and effective
and timely response and recovery operations.
Failure to establish a common operating picture can be a primary factor in
undermining response and recovery efforts.
Responding agencies share the following types of information to establish a common
operating picture:
• Operational priorities
• Response metrics such as:
• Injuries and deaths
• Evacuees
• Estimated value of damages
• Status of resources ordered, received, and deployed
• Financial expenditures and encumbrances
• Scheduled meetings
As a common operating picture is established, responding agencies have the awareness to
scale response resources and staff to better meet the needs of the incident.
Salt Lake City Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan | Page 30
• Overall incident response goals and priorities
• ECC section goals and priorities
• Staffing
• Resource allocation
• Safety protocol
• Situation status updates
• Communications lists
Each of the ECC sections is responsible for developing the IAP elements and
coordinating with the ECC Planning Coordination Section to provide any missing
information. ECC branches and groups may be responsible for completing additional
forms for the IAP as requested by the ECC Planning Coordination Section.
In addition to the IAP, the ECC Planning Coordination Section may develop Situation
Reports (SitReps) that provide a condensed summary of critical incident status
information. SitReps are developed and distributed at a more rapid frequency (i.e., every
12 hours, every 24 hours) based on the tempo of response operations.
4.2.3 Respond to the Emergency
The City conducts the following procedures during emergency and disaster incidents.
These operations are sustained and repeated as necessary until the City transitions to
recovery.
4.2.3.1 Prioritize Response Activities
City ESFs are aligned with Community Lifelines to assess and prioritize the stabilization of
critical infrastructure following a disaster. ESFs inform the status of lifelines and support
their restoration through:
• Conducting damage assessments
• Coordinating stabilization operations
• Utilizing functional area expertise to minimize disruptions
Salt Lake City Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan | Page 31
The ESFs that support the stabilization of specific lifelines are described in the
Emergency Support Functions Annex found in the supporting documents section of
this plan.
4.2.3.2 Communicate with the Community
The ECC, through the JIC, uses regular warnings, status updates, and public information
dissemination methods to inform the community of protective actions and emergency
and disaster status. Access and functional needs notifications will be considered prior to
and during communication events with the public.
Issue Warning and Status Updates
EM provides notification of an emergency or disaster event as early as is practical and/or
with as much advance notice as possible. Warning, notification, and status updates to
the partner agencies and the community are issued through a variety of methods
depending on the scope and size of an incident. The Joint Information Center will follow
Salt Lake City Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan | Page 32
the Crisis Communication Plan guidelines as appropriate. Table 4.8 describes some of
the mediums utilized to provide warning, notification, and status updates.
Table 4.8: Warning, Notification, and Status Update Channels
Additional procedures may be utilized to ensure emergency and disaster notifications
reach the entire community. These include:
• Rave or Reverse 911 Notification System
• IPAWS
• Amateur Radio Groups such as Amateur Radio Emergency Services (ARES) and
Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Service (RACES)
• Public Service Announcements
• Press Briefings
• Social Media
• Landing Pages on City websites
• Language Line and Translation Services
• Accessible communications
Establish Procedures to Communicate with the Community
The EM PIO, who serves as the JIC manager, is responsible for establishing the JIC to
facilitate the collection and dissemination of accurate and timely information. The JIC is
staffed by qualified City and private-sector personnel. Public information responsibilities
of Salt Lake City include:
• Coordinating with appropriate neighboring jurisdictions, special service district,
County, State, federal entities, and all media representatives to ensure timely and
accurate information is provided to the community
• Pushing public messaging to the community through various channels (e.g., press
conferences, social media, emergency alerts)
• If needed, activating the JIC and support team to better facilitate:
o Information collection
Salt Lake City Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan | Page 33
o Information dissemination
o Interaction and coordination with the media
o Unified messaging
o Information deconfliction
All communication should be guided by the Crisis Communications Plan and follow best
practices for access and functional needs.
4.2.3.3 Take Protective Actions
Some emergency or disaster incidents may require the City to implement protective
actions such as evacuations and sheltering. Incident Command, in coordination with the
EM Duty Officer (DO) and/or the Mayor, decides whether to implement protective
actions based on the scope, size, and impacts of the incident as well as information from
responding agencies and organizations.
Executing protective actions requires coordination among multiple departments, ESFs,
and supporting agencies. Table 4.9 provides an overview of protective actions,
supporting ESFs, and expected operations. Additional details can be found in the
Shelter Annex.
Communicating With the Whole Community
Additional communications methods are incorporated into warning, notification, and status
updates to increase the accessibility of information and reach the whole community, including
individuals with access and functional needs. Examples of accessible communications include:
• Adding open and closed captioning on Salt Lake City television broadcasts.
• Including an American Sign Language (ASL) interpreter during media briefings.
• Translating and providing print, news, and social media emergency public information in
English, Spanish, and other languages commonly spoken in the Salt Lake City.

4.2.3.4 Perform Damage Assessments
Municipal agencies conduct damage assessments during the response to identify
incident impacts, prioritize response and restoration activities, and initiate the cost
recovery process. The objectives of damage assessments include:
• Determining immediate life safety issues such as trapped or missing individuals
• Assessing economic impacts
• Identifying the scope of damages
• Determining the status of infrastructure
• Prioritizing response operations
• Documenting damages
• Affixing an estimated dollar amount to damage to justify the need for additional
assistance
New impacts, damages, or disruptions to infrastructure are incorporated into updated
assessments and reported to relevant ESFs and County, State, and federal supporting
agencies.
4.2.3 Request Mutual Aid
Note: Municipal response may require the use of resources beyond those available
within the municipality. To expedite the resource sharing process, Salt Lake City has
entered into mutual aid agreements with neighboring jurisdictions and assisting
agencies to access additional resources should they be available. Such mutual aid
agreements can be pre-established (preferred) or created at the onset of response
operations. Pre-establishing mutual aid agreements prior to response operations is
preferred as the agreements can be rapidly utilized during response.
Mutual aid agreements include:
• Identification of the resources accessed
• Reasonable assurance that resources are available when needed
• Terms for compensation
4.2.4 Request a Disaster Declaration
The disaster declaration process is a critical step for local entities to access County, State
and federal support and assistance Figure 4.10 provides an overview of how emergency
declarations at the municipal and County level are escalated to the State and federal
government.
Local Emergency Declaration and Disaster Declaration documentation and procedures
can be found in the Policy Group Handbook. All procedures should follow federal
Salt Lake City Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan | Page 37
regulations, state code, and local ordinances. Declarations are a critical part of
emergency response and recovery funding/reimbursement.
• Municipal agencies respond with available resources and capabilities.
• Municipal agencies conduct assessment to determine scope of damages.
• As incident exceeds local capabilities, EM supports local response and coordination.
• Municipal mayor proclaims a local emergency, and forwards proclamation to EM.
• Municipal mayor may utilize mutual aid and impose regulations, such as curfews, business
closures, and tasking out law enforcement.
Municipality
• EM receives municipal emergency proclamation.
• EM supports response by providing coordination, personnel, or equipment as needed.
• EM coordinates Facilities Management, Public Work and Engineering, and Planning and
Development to conducts and develop damage assessments to support declaration.
• The District Attorneys’ office supports writing and legal review of emergency declarations,
and ensures they are processed correctly.
• As incident exceeds County capabilities and resources, Salt Lake Count Emergency
Manager declaration to DEM Region 2 liaison to request State assistance.
County
• DEM receives County emergency declaration.
• DEM verifies that the county has met the threshold for disaster declaration.
• DEM Director advises governor of situation and, if warranted, governor proclaims a state
of emergency.
• DEM Director initiates State response by activating agencies and relevant ESFs to take
necessary action per Utah Emergency Operations Plan and agency standard operating
procedures to support response.
State
• Federal agencies dispatch such as FEMA to verify damages and identify support needs.
• If needed, federal agencies provide response support resources.
• Federal agencies provide disaster assistance programs to support recovery.
• Federal agencies coordinate with State and County to monitor application of federal
assistance funding.

4.2.5 Coordinate with Non-City Partners
To effectively implement activation, response, recovery, and preparedness actions, Salt
Lake City coordinates with County, State, federal, and private-sector partners. This
section provides an overview of how these entities coordinate.
As an incident evolves, expands, or affects certain sectors, various agencies may become
involved to support response and recovery operations. Figure 4.11 provides a general
overview of how different agencies and entities are involved as an incident becomes
more complex.
Figure 4. 11: Incident Complexity

4.3 Recovery
This section provides an overview of the City’s recovery operations and a return to
normal operations following disaster situations. Each Salt Lake City department will
activate their Continuity of Operations plan which outlines procedures for reconstitution.
The recovery phase can occur concurrently or proceeding the response phase of an
emergency and vary in length and degree based on the scale and impact of events.
Key Activities
• The City Mayor, in coordination with the Salt Lake City Emergency Manager and
the City Council, initiates recovery and the mobilization of recovery resources and
operations.
• Deactivation and demobilization of resources with coordination between the
Mayor, Policy Group, City Council, Emergency Manager and ESFs.
• Activation of the Recovery Task Force (RTF) and Salt Lake City Disaster Recovery
Plan transitioning from Emergency Support Functions to Recovery Support
Functions (RSFs).
• ECC organizes ESF Operations Support around the assessment and stabilization
of Community Lifelines.
• Coordinate with Salt Lake County Emergency Management and Salt Lake City
Departments to conduct a Preliminary Damage Assessment.
• Enact disaster declarations and any other notifications to begin assistance
through county, state or federal means.
• The RTF will develop and implement both short-term and long-term recovery
plans to support community and city recovery and resilience building.
4.3.1 Recovery Framework
The Salt Lake City Recovery plan uses the National Disaster Recovery Framework (NDFR)
as a model for transitioning from response to recovery. Guiding principles and Core
Capabilities are followed through the deployment of the RTF utilizing RSFs objectives.
Detailed guides for pre-disaster recovery planning can be found in FEMA’s Pre-Disaster
Recovery Planning Guide for Local Governments supporting document.
Salt Lake City Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan | Page 41
Figure 4.13: NDRF Recovery Timeline
4.3.2 Recovery Support Functions (RSFs)
Salt Lake City Emergency Management will utilize Recovery Support Functions during
the recovery phase of a disaster to better coordinate and organize key personnel and
plans during the entire recovery for the city. Emergency Support Functions during the
response phase will transition to RSFs as the situation dictates. RSFs can also be activated
during the response phase in conjunction with the ECC sections or ESFs. Salt Lake City
has adopted FEMA’s recovery support functions outline in the National Disaster Recovery
Framework plan defining 6 RSFs areas to provide a comprehensive recovery plan. The
table below shows each recovery support function, key responsible departments or
entities, and an overview of responsibilities for each role. Comprehensive and detailed
procedures for the Recovery Task Force and Recovery Support Functions can be found in
the Recovery Support Functions supporting document.

preservation laws and Executive orders.
4.3.3 Recovery Task Force (RTF)
The purpose of a recovery task force is to provide a coordinated mechanism to oversee
the recovery and reconstruction process and to serve as an advisory committee to city
officials responsible for recovery activities. This is done through policy creation,
recommendations, planning, and implementation of mitigation and recovery plans. The
recovery actions and RTF make-up following a disaster or major event will vary based on
impact and may include city, county, state, or federal resources. Salt Lake City Recovery
Task Force should be composed of the following roles:
• Disaster Recovery Coordinator – To coordinate disaster assistance available
from the federal government and state agencies to Salt Lake City following a
major or catastrophic disaster.
• Economic Development Coordinator – To coordinate economic recovery
with the business community following a major or catastrophic disaster.

An Emergency Review Board can be established by the Mayor or Mayor’s designee to
review disputes arising from the implementation of any policies presented by the RTF.
The Emergency Review Board will consist of three representatives from the RTF
appointed by the Chief Administrative Officer. Decisions rendered by the Emergency
Review Board may be appealed to the Salt Lake City Planning Commission through the
appeals process. The Emergency Review Board may make recommendations to specific
departments for any requests that are beyond the authorization of the board.
4.3.3.1 RTF Activation
The RTF will be activated and mobilized by a disaster declaration made by the
Mayor/City Council under the procedures set forth in the Salt Lake City Emergency
Declaration policy. The RTF will be activated for the duration of the emergency
declaration unless demobilized by the Mayor/City Council. Initial activation tasks include
receiving and reviewing damage and impact reports, recommending disaster
ordinances, define recovery organization structure, create recovery plans, and liaison
with city, state, federal, and private entities. RTF activation will also coordinate with Salt
Lake County’s Recovery Task Force and Recovery Support Functions as needed.
4.3.3.2 Recovery Plans
Recovery Plans developed by the RTF are an essential tool for managing recovery
operations. This requires a unified, coordinated, and focused effort. The plan may follow
the basic steps described below:
Salt Lake City Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan | Page 45
• Outline the city recovery management structure and management process.
• Describe the organizational networks and structures appropriate to recovery.
• Formalize arrangements for the effective management of the recovery
process.
• Facilitate the recovery of affected individuals, businesses, infrastructure, and
city government as quickly and practically as possible.
• Involve all agencies with a role to play in recovery.
• Ensure community participation in the recovery process.
• Identify responsibilities and tasks of key agencies and departments.
• Describe appropriate resource arrangements.
• Be simple and concise as possible.
The elements of the plan include the composition of the Recovery Task Force and the
priority of effects in the following order:
• Activities that reestablish services that meet the physical and safety needs of the
community, to include food, ice, medical care, emergency access, continuity of
government and operations, emergency communications, security of residents
and possessions from harm, health, and temporary housing.
• Reestablishing infrastructure necessary for community reconstruction including
electrical distribution systems, potable water, and sanitary sewer service,
restoring medical and health care, rebuilding damaged transportation facilities,
and housing facilities.
• Restoring the city’s economic base.
• Improving the city’s ability to withstand the effects of future major or catastrophic
disasters:
o Phasing/milestones for recovery tasks
o Support requirements
o Coordination requirements
o Methodologies
o Reporting requirements
Long term recovery is a collaborative process over months or years that requires the
efforts of the entire community. During this period the city will continue to liaison with
appropriate partners, find funding resources, determine new measures, create new
policies, assist in community planning, make recommendations, and update emergency
plans.
Salt Lake City Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan | Page 46
4.5 Preparedness
This section provides an overview of preparedness actions executed by Salt Lake City
and partnering agencies to prepare for the impacts of all hazards. Preparedness actions
occur prior to and after emergencies and disasters and include planning, training, and
exercises.
Figure 4.15: Preparedness Phase Overview
Key Activities
• All agencies develop internal plans to support emergency or disaster
preparedness.
• EM coordinates hazard mitigation planning and identification of mitigation
projects to lessen the impacts of emergencies and disasters.
• EM plans for and executes training and exercises for different partner entities
within the Municipality.
• The EM and municipal PIOs implement outreach strategies to inform, educate,
and engage the community in emergency preparedness.
4.5.1 Develop Plans for Future Emergencies
4.5.1.1 Maintain Plans that Support Response and Recovery

4.5.1.2 Update Plans Regularly
EM has the overall responsibility for ensuring their plans, annexes, operations guides,
and associated checklists are current. The Salt Lake City Emergency Manager or
designee assigns personnel to be accountable for the upkeep of specific planning
documentation. All other municipal departments or divisions that have emergency
response or recovery assignments are responsible for developing and maintaining their
own plans and procedures.
4.5.2 Involve the Community in Emergency Management
Effective community preparedness requires ongoing community awareness and
education programs so citizens are prepared and understand their responsibilities
should a major disaster or emergency occur. Emergency management plans need to be
built with the understanding that not all communities can prepare or respond in a
uniform way. Specialized or specific planning with input from each individual community
is vital to the successful response to disasters.
4.5.2.1 Improve Public Safety through Education and Outreach
The EM JIC Manager/PIO, in coordination with other municipal communications officers,
is responsible for developing and disseminating preparedness public messaging
campaigns. Examples of these campaigns include:
• Signing up for public alert applications
• Developing a personal preparedness plan
• Informing the community on safety information about flood zones and evacuation
routes
• Provide outreach in multiple languages and multiple formats to reach the most
audiences
Salt Lake City Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan | Page 48
5. ADMINISTRATION, FINANCE, LOGISTICS,
AND PLAN MAINTENANCE
5.1 Administration Information
The Salt Lake City Emergency Coordination Center monitors continuously 24 hours per
day and is administered by Salt Lake City Emergency Management. Day-to-day
operations are under the direction of the Salt Lake City Fire Department Emergency
Management Division.
The operational readiness of the Emergency Coordination Center is the responsibility of
the Salt Lake City Emergency Management Division of the Salt Lake City Fire
Department.
Police Department assisted by the Information Management Services Department is
primarily responsible for maintaining the PSB/SLIC facility.
Narratives and operational documentation of response actions will be kept.
All written/electronic records, reports, and other documents will follow the principles of
the National Incident Management System (NIMS).
Agreements and understandings must be entered into by duly authorized officials and
should be formalized in writing whenever possible prior to emergencies.
Organizations with responsibilities for implementing this plan are responsible for
providing their own administrative and logistical needs and for the preparation and
maintenance of a resource list for use in carrying out their emergency responsibilities.
5.1.1 Records Preservation and Restoration
All affected governments in Salt Lake City must ensure protection of their records so
normal operations can continue after the emergency. Such records may also be vital to
the rapid recovery from the effects of an emergency. The Information Management
Services Department is charged with maintaining plans for the safety, recovery, and
restoration of Salt Lake City’s data and telecommunication systems during a disaster.
Salt Lake City Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan | Page 49
5.1.2 Reports and Records
General: The planning and activation of an effective emergency response requires timely
and accurate reporting of information and the maintenance of records on a continual
basis.
Reporting guidelines: Salt Lake City will submit consolidated reports to Salt Lake
County who will forward them to the Utah Division of Emergency Management to include
information from local municipalities. Salt Lake City will submit situation reports, requests
for assistance, and damage assessment reports to Salt Lake County Emergency
Management by the most practical means and in a timely manner. Municipal and county
governments will use pre-established bookkeeping and accounting methods to track
and maintain records of expenditures and obligations. Narrative and written log-type
records of response actions will be kept by the Emergency Management Division. The
logs and records will form the basis for status reports to the county and state.
Initial Reports: Initial reports (needs assessment) are the basis for the mayor’s decision for
a Declaration of Emergency. These reports determine the specific types and extent of
assistance needed and available to the affected area.
Updates: Situation reports outlining new developments and providing additional
information will be forwarded as often as necessary in the most expeditious manner
available duration a local activation.
5.2 Financial Management
The Salt Lake City CEMP assigns lead and support agencies for 15 functional areas of
disaster response. Each agency assigned to an emergency support function (ESF) is
responsible for mobilizing existing personnel, equipment, materials, supplies, and other
resources under their control.
When agencies require additional resources, these requests will be referred to ESF #7 –
Logistics Management and Resource Support in the Salt Lake City Emergency
Coordination Center. ESF # 7 is tasked with identifying the most appropriate and
economical method of meeting the resource request.
There are four basic methods of meeting a resource request as follows:
• Local forces are those resources under direct control of the city ECC. They can
be assigned based on priorities established by the Policy group, ECC, or
incident command.
• Mutual aid can be requested by the Salt Lake City Coordination Center to
augment staff during a locally declared state of emergency. Salt Lake City is a
Salt Lake City Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan | Page 50
signature party of the Utah Interlocal Mutual Aid Agreement for Catastrophic
Disaster Response and Recovery. All requests for mutual aid must follow the
procedures established by the Utah Division of Emergency Management under
this agreement.
• State and federal agencies’ response may be required when either mutual aid or
contracting can meet the resource request. It is anticipated that this response
would occur early in the disaster for short time periods.
• All ESF procurements and expenditures will be documented. All receipts and
invoices with explanations and justifications will be forwarded to the
Finance/Admin Section in a timely fashion. The auditor will ensure all
documentation is complete, recorded on the appropriate forms, and proper in
all respects. If a disaster in Salt Lake City is federally declared, the auditor will
submit for reimbursement. If Salt Lake City was not declared, the documentation
will serve as a recorded history of activity with expenditures.
5.2.1 Accounting
Complete and accurate accounts of emergency expenditures and obligations (including
personnel and equipment costs) will be maintained. Such records are essential to identify
and document funds for which no federal reimbursement will be requested and funds
eligible for reimbursement under major emergency project applications. When federal
public assistance 18 provided under the Disaster Relief Act, local projects approved by
the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) are subject to both state and
federal audit. The Accounting Division in the Finance Department will coordinate the
reimbursement documentation for the FEMA Public Assistance Program during a
presidentially declared disaster for county government.
5.2.2 Fiscal Agreements
A clear statement of agreement between all major departments and agencies
responding to an emergency concerning payment or reimbursement for personnel
services rendered, equipment costs, and expenditures of materials used in response to
an emergency is recommended.
5.3 Financial Management
Salt Lake City Emergency Management maintains current resource information on
supplies, equipment, facilities, and skilled personnel available for emergency response
and recovery operations.
Logistics Section provides logistical and resource support, including locating, procuring,
and issuing resources (such as supplies, office space, office equipment, fuel, and
communications contracting services, personnel, heavy equipment and transportation)
Salt Lake City Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan | Page 51
to agencies and departments involved in delivery emergency response and recovery
efforts.
The mayor or designee has the authority to appropriate services and equipment from
citizens as necessary in response to a disaster.
5.4 Plan Maintenance
Salt Lake City Emergency Management is responsible for the overall maintenance of this
Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CEMP) and supporting documents by
ensuring that changes and revisions are prepared, coordinated, published, and
distributed. This CEMP will be reviewed and updated at least annually based on
deficiencies identified in simulated or actual use or due to organizational or
technological changes. All changes will be recorded by the receiving department or
agency.
CEMP revisions will be forwarded to all departments or agencies assigned
responsibilities in the plan. Contact names and telephone numbers (for Emergency
Coordination Center staff, departments, agencies, special facilities, schools, etc.) will be
maintained by appropriate departments and agencies.
5.4.1 Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Maintenance
To maintain emergency plan capabilities and to be prepared for any emergency or
disaster that may affect Salt Lake City, Salt Lake City Emergency Management has
developed and maintains a multiyear strategy. Table 5.1 provides a standardized list of
activities necessary to monitor the dynamic elements of the Salt Lake City CEMP and the
frequency of their occurrence.
