WORK SESSION SUMMARY
During the work session the Council discussed the proposed zoning amendment with Planning staff and
the applicant.
The Council discussed including the following items in the development agreement that would accompany
the zoning amendments:
Housing minimums include workforce housing and family sized housing.
o Make amenities available to all residents in the project area
Workforce development / internships
Guaranteeing public access to the Jordan River / access in and out of the river
Confirm what parts of the riparian corridor applicable to the project area
Free expression & inclusivity in public plaza areas
Property swap for city owned parcel on east side of the river and the easement on the westside
Focus on local contractors participating in the development and construction of the project area
The Council directed staff to work with the applicant on the development agreement. Those discussions are
still ongoing. Staff anticipates holding a follow-up briefing on the development agreement at the December
3 work session briefing.
For the follow-up briefing on November 19, staff is seeking direction from the Council on the following
zoning related items.
Page | 2
Open Space Requirements
Recommendation: A minimum percentage of the project must be designated as open space and
accessible to the public.
Update: The applicant added that 10% of the district must be “active or passive open space,” but the
DA states no open space is required. The applicant has indicated they intend to provide up to 18%,
but details are not yet provided. Unclear if this will be accessible to the public.
o Does the Council wish to designate a minimum amount of open space in the
JRF zoning district and that it be publicly accessible?
Design Standards
Recommendation: Design standards apply to all buildings facing public streets and the Jordan
River. These should include specifications for lighting, entry features, parking garages, and limits
on building façade lengths.
Update: There has been discussion with the applicant from the start about applying these
standards. The stadium can be exempt from these design standards, but they should be applicable
to all public streets. Assuming that private streets will be dedicated at a future time, the standards
should apply to those public streets after they are dedicated.
o Does the Council wish to require design standards for only the publicly
facing streets and the Jordan River, or also include them for all the streets in
the project area.
o With the understanding that the stadium will front the Jordan River, does
Council support requiring design standards for buildings that front the
river?
o Does the Council support exempting stadium uses from the design standards?
Building Height
The most current JRF draft revised staff’s addition to clarify the FAA regulations to any building
over 60’ in height.
Staff is concerned with a potential conflict between the FAA regulations and the JRF code and
would like the prior draft language added back in. The language includes the following:
No building over ’60’ is permitted unless the FAA issues a “determination of no hazard to air
navigation” for said building.
o Does the Council support the addition of this language to the JRF ordinance?
Setback Requirement
Recommendation: A maximum setback of 15 feet is required from all streets and publicly accessible
open spaces.
Update: This condition has not been addressed. Again, this max setback wouldn’t need to apply to
the stadium. It is intended for the everyday structure to make sure buildings address the street and
site development follows best urban design practices and would reduce the likelihood of street
facing surface parking lots
o Does the Council wish to establish a maximum setback from all streets and
publicly accessible open spaces?
If yes, does the Council support exempting stadium uses from this
requirement?
Page | 3
Building Height and Walkways
Midblock Walkways: The PC added a condition that any midblock walkways associated with
additional building height shall be a minimum of 15 feet wide.
Update: The applicant updated the code to include this as an option for additional building height.
In Downtown zones, the walkway width must increase to at least 20 feet for additional height so 15
feet is the bare minimum and doesn’t necessarily reflect the context of the site.
Open Space Option: As an alternative to wider walkways, the proposed code allows for building
heights above 200 feet, but no specific square footage has been provided. For Downtown, a 500 SF
minimum is required, but due to the context of the site, a larger space would be appropriate.
Downtown development is all infill so 500 SF is reasonable.
o Does the Council wish to establish a minimum midblock walkway width for
buildings that go over 200’ in height?
If, so, does the Council support 15’ or 20’ in width?
o Does the Council support establishing a minimum open space requirement as
an option for the applicant to designate in order to go over 200’ in height.
If so, does the Council support 500 sf or would the Council like to ask
for additional recommendations from Planning staff?
Land Uses
Light manufacturing, vehicle rental and warehouses don’t meet the stated intent of the district and
open up the land to development patterns that do not support mixed-use walkable communities.
The applicant has requested a “flex space”, which is not defined in code at this time.
Staff is coordinating with the applicant on a potential definition that would work for them and the
City. At the time this memo was submitted, that language was not finalized. Staff will have the draft
ready in time for the briefing on November 19.
o Does the Council support including the proposed “flex-space” definition and
use in the zoning ordinance?
The public hearing is set for Tuesday, November 19 at 7:00pm.
The following information was provided for the November 12 work session
ISSUE AT-A-GLANCE
The Council will receive a briefing about a proposal that would amend the City's zoning ordinance by
creating a new zoning district known as the JRF District at approximately 1500 West North Temple and
bounded by the Jordan River, Redwood Road, North Temple, and Interstate 15. The proposal would rezone
approximately 93 acres across 32 parcels into a single zone to support the area's redevelopment.
Zoning Map & Text Amendment: The JRF district would allow buildings up to 400 feet tall, with
Design Review required for structures over 200 feet. There would be no minimum lot size, width,
or setbacks, and at least 10% of the gross development area would be dedicated to open space.
Developments would be exempt from meeting the City's general plans.
Page | 4
Development Agreement: The proposed Development Agreement addresses access to the Jordan
River, open space, roads, and infrastructure improvements and establishes review processes for
development applications. Under new state law, an agreement must be reached by December 31,
2024, for expedited land use reviews related to a qualified stadium and related uses. If no
agreement is made, the JRF District will not be subject to the City's zoning regulations.
The Planning Commission voted 7 to 1 to forward a recommendation of approval with a list of conditions
for the Council to consider. See those in the policy questions section below.
Council Staff is proposing the Council review the zoning and draft development agreement concepts during
the November 12 briefing and hold a follow-up briefing on November 19, the same day as the public
hearing.
In addition to these zoning regulations, the State statute requires the city complete the following by the end
of this year:
Amend the North Temple Redevelopment project area boundaries by removing the properties in the
Utah Fairpark Area Investment and Restoration District.
o That was completed on October 15.
Finalize a municipal services contract with the UFAIR board.
o The administration is currently working with the UFAIR board on this contract.

Planning Commission Proposed Conditions for Consideration
The Council may wish to review the following list of potential conditions forwarded by the Planning
Commission and provide policy direction to staff for which items to include in the final documents,
whether the zoning amendments or the development agreement. Planning staff will be in attendance and
can provide a response to questions the Council may raise during the briefing.

Overlay. Unless otherwise approved by Public Utilities, the overlay shall remain applicable.
2. Public Utilities Master Plans and Transportation Master Plans remain applicable to the JRF District.
3. The applicant shall follow mitigation measures as dictated in the Airspace Impact Study.
4. A minimum percentage of the entire project must be dedicated as open space and accessible to the
public.
5. The Commission recommends that a minimum of 10% of the total housing development be available for
rent or sale at a maximum of 80% AMI.
6. Design Standards shall apply to all buildings facing public streets and the Jordan River. The standards
shall be updated to include lighting, entry features, parking garage specifications, and limits on building
façade lengths.
7. Midblock walkways associated with additional building height shall be a minimum of 15’ wide.
8. A maximum setback of 15 feet shall be provided from all streets and publicly accessible open spaces.
9. The approved site plan created for the JRF District shall be incorporated into the North Temple
Boulevard Plan.
10. Concerns raised by the Planning Commission during the October 9, 2024, briefing shall be
addressed prior to the City Council adopting the Term Sheet associated with the
Development Agreement. This includes:
a. Automatically applying the proposed zoning district to lands that the applicant
may purchase in the future instead of going through the normal zoning
amendment process and the legality of such a provision.
b. Vacating an existing city easement as part of the agreement without a guarantee
that the easement would be replaced in kind.
c. Exempting the property from all provisions of the Riparian Corridor Overlay
instead of defining specific provisions of the Riparian Corridor Overlay that could
be modified in the agreement.
d. Exempting the proposal from all utility improvement plans that apply to the
property, which are necessary to locate, increase capacity, and fund needed future
upgrades.
e. The lack of specific public benefits that would be included in the future
development, including affordable housing or contribution to affordable housing
funds that could be used in the area, no guarantee of publicly accessible open
space.

Additional Information
The transmittal letter outlines the following key points of the proposed zoning ordinance.
The transmittal letter outlines the following key points of the proposed. zoning ordinance.
Page | 9
Minimum Lot Area, Width, Yard Standards
o No minimum lot areas, lot widths, or setbacks required in the JRF District.
Open Space
o The proposed code language states an open space plan will be created and will include at
least 10% of the gross development area.
Building Height
o Maximum height is 400 feet. Anything over 200 feet is required to go through the Design
Review process.
o Buildings in the D-1 and D4 zoning districts must also go through the Design Review
process for heights above 200 feet.
FAA Regulations & Airspace Impact Study
o No building over 200 feet is permitted unless the developer consults with the FAA
regarding compliance with 14 CFR Part 77.9
o Buildings over 60 feet in height must be designed to avoid electrical interference, lighting
and glare, impairing pilot visibility, and landing or maneuvering conflicts.
Land Uses
o Planning staff is still working with the applicant to update the land use table to remove uses
that are not compatible with the proposed zoning’s goals and vision. The applicant has not
submitted an update since the Planning Commission hearing on October 23, 2024.
Design Standards
o The proposed JRF District includes two sets of Design Standards:
Internal buildings and street frontages.
Structures along Redwood Road and North Temple.
o The applicant is seeking substantial design flexibility due to the site's unique
characteristics.
o Currently, the only requirements for buildings along privately owned streets are limited to
screening mechanical equipment and providing street trees, which are already mandated by
code and do not speak to site or street facing building design in any way.
o Buildings with frontage along Redwood Road and North Temple call for additional design
standards, such as ground floor activation, durable materials, and minimum glass
percentages.
o Both Planning staff and the Planning Commission recommend adding more design
standards that address street facing building façade length, lighting, entry features, and
parking garage specifications.
Signage
o The same standards as the D-1 Central Business District and D-4 Secondary Central
Business District would apply to the district.
o Includes an increased allowance within 1000 linear feet of the arena to allow the same sign
types as the new Sports Arena and Convention Center Sign Overlay.

RE: Zoning Map Amendment at 333 West 700 South
PLNPCM2023-00923
The Council will be briefed about a proposal to amend the zoning map for a portion of the approximately
half acre parcel at 333 West 700 South in Council District Four. The property is currently “split-zoned”
with approximately 0.37 acres zoned CG (General Commercial) and the remaining 0.14 acres zoned D-2
(Downtown Support). The request is to rezone the CG portion to D-2, so the entire parcel is within one
zoning designation, indicated in the following image.

No development plans have been submitted to date, but potential future development will be simplified
with one zoning designation for the property. An art studio, and a business that designs and fabricates
museum exhibits currently occupy the site’s existing building.
As shown in the map below, area zoning is primarily D-2 fronting the west side of 300 West, Kilby Court,
and portions of 700 South. CG zoning is found on 700 South west of the subject property. FB-UN2 (Form

Based Urban Neighborhood) is to the south and east of the property. The Fleet Block is located on the block
to the south.
Area zoning map with subject parcel highlighted in blue.
The Planning Commission reviewed the proposal at its February 14, 2024 meeting and held a public
hearing at which no one spoke. Planning staff recommended and the Commission voted
unanimously to forward a positive recommendation to the Council.
Goal of the briefing: Review the proposed zoning map amendments, determine if the Council supports
moving forward with the proposal.
POLICY QUESTIONS
1. The Council may wish to ask the applicant if housing is planned for the site. If so, would they be
willing to include any affordable housing in potential future projects on the subject site and enter
into a development agreement pertaining to affordable housing units?
2. The Council may wish to ask the Administration how the Affordable Housing Incentives may
impact this petition or development potential on the property.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The Council is only being asked to consider rezoning the property. No formal site plan has been submitted
to the City nor is it within the scope of the Council’s authority to review the plans. Because zoning of a
property can outlast the life of a building, any rezoning application should be considered on the merits of
Page | 4
changing the zoning of that property, not simply based on a potential project.
KEY CONSIDERATIONS
Planning staff identified three key considerations related to the proposal which are found on pages 3-6 of
the Planning Commission staff report and summarized below. For the complete analysis, please see the
staff report.
Consideration 1 – Compliance with City Goals, Policies, and General Plans
Planning staff found that the proposed zoning map amendment supports several initiatives in Plan Salt
Lake (2015) including Growth, Housing, Transportation & Mobility, Air Quality, and Beautiful City. In
addition, the (2016) Downtown Plan calls for more residential development in this portion of the Granary
District, though as noted above, no development plans have been submitted to date.
Consideration 2 – CG vs. D-2 Zoning District Comparison
As previously mentioned, and shown in the zoning map above, area zoning is primarily CG and D-2. Both
allow for mid-rise development consistent with the Downtown Plan.
Attachment D (pages 18-21) of the Planning Commission staff report includes a table comparing the zoning
districts. A portion of the table is included below. For additional information please see the staff report.
CG (Current)D-2 (Proposed)
Maximum Building Height 75 feet (up to 105 feet with

Consideration 3 – Neighborhood Analysis
Planning staff reviewed the property and proposed zoning map amendment by considering proximity to
current and planned amenities, infrastructure, and the historic district.
The property is close to the downtown central business district and area amenities such as Pioneer Park,
TRAX station, main library, Gateway, and Delta Center. Nearby potential future amenities include the
Green Loop project, Fleet Block, and possible TRAX line extensions.
It is not anticipated that future development at the site would result in significant additional demand for
infrastructure, though proposals will be reviewed to determine if upgrades are needed. The property
owners and developers would be required to upgrade offsite utilities if needed to ensure capacity is
sufficient to meet needs.
The property is within the Salt Lake City Warehouse National Historic District which does not require
preserving the building as a local historic district might. The National Register of Historic Places classified
the building as non-contributing, meaning it does not add to the historic significance of the district.
Analysis of Standards
Attachment E (pages 22-24) of the Planning Commission staff report outlines zoning map amendment
standards that should be considered as the Council reviews this proposal. The standards and findings are
summarized below. Please see the Planning Commission staff report for additional information.

DATE:November 19, 2024
RE: 238 South Concord Street and 1255 West Pierpont Avenue Zoning Map Amendment
PLNPCM2024-00389
The Council will be briefed about a proposal to amend the zoning map for abutting properties at 238 South
Concord Street and 1255 West Pierpont Avenue in City Council District Two from their current R-1/5,000
(single-family residential) zoning to RMF-30 (low-density multi-family residential). Combined, the
properties total approximately 0.25 acres.
A single-family home is on the Concord Street parcel which the owners stated they would like to retain.
However, the home’s foundation was damaged in the 2020 earthquake and repairs may be cost prohibitive.
In that case, the home would be removed as part of the site redevelopment. The Pierpont Avenue parcel is
vacant.
This proposed zoning map amendment was reviewed by the Planning Commission at its August 14, 2024
meeting and a public hearing was held at which no one spoke. Planning staff recommended and the
Commission voted unanimously to forward a positive recommendation to the City Council.
As shown in the map below, area zoning is R-1/5,000 and predominantly single-family homes, though
there are several legal, non-conforming multi-family uses in the vicinity with R-1/5,000 zoning.

Area zoning map with the subject parcels outlined in blue.

Goal of the briefing: Review the proposed zoning map amendments, determine if the Council supports
moving forward with the proposal.
POLICY QUESTION
1. The Council may wish to ask the applicant what the anticipated selling price of proposed units at
this site would be, depending on dwelling type.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Amending the zoning map as requested would increase development potential of the properties. Under
current R-1/5,000 zoning, a single-family home and a detached accessory dwelling unit could be built on
Page | 3
each of the subject parcels. The applicant’s stated objective is to construct five to seven family-sized for sale
units on the property. Smaller minimum lot sizes allowed under the proposed RMF-30 zoning would
accommodate a modest density increase and provide options for additional housing types such as attached
single-family, cottage, and tiny homes.
The subject zoning map amendment petition was deemed complete before the City Council adopted the
community benefit policy on March 5, 2024, so the petition is not subject to the new ordinance.
The Council is only being asked to consider rezoning the property. No formal site plan has been submitted
to the City nor is it within the scope of the Council’s authority to review the plans. Because zoning of a
property can outlast the life of a building, any rezoning application should be considered on the merits of
changing the zoning of that property, not simply based on a potential project.
KEY CONSIDERATIONS
Planning staff identified three key considerations related to the proposal which are found on pages 3-7 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 & Policies Identified in
Adopted Plans
Planning staff reviewed how the proposal aligns with Plan Salt Lake and the Westside Master Plan. They
found that the proposed zoning map amendment supports initiatives in the plans that call for promoting
infill and redevelopment of underutilized land, increasing the number of medium-density housing types
and options, and enabling moderate density increases within existing neighborhoods, among others.
Consideration 2 – Neighborhood Context
When Interstate-80 was constructed, it divided neighborhoods, including Poplar Grove. Pierpont Avenue
was built parallel to the interstate, but no homes front on the street, and it appears to be a frontage road.
The applicant provided photographs showing broken vehicle windows, drug paraphernalia, and arson on
the land between the freeway and Pierpont Avenue. Their intent is to create a development that increases
activity on the street, and hopefully reduces unwanted activity. Smaller lot sizes noted above would allow
more housing units to front Pierpont Avenue than could be built under the current zone.
The nearby neighborhood node at 400 South and Concord Street provides access to grocery stores, a
restaurant, auto repair, and a laundromat that serve the surrounding community. In addition, the subject
properties are within walking distance of Sherwood Park, the Jordan River trail, Franklin Elementary
School, and the Lied Boys and Girls Club. Planning staff stated, “The small-scale nature of the RMF-30
district would allow a development that fits within the existing fabric of the community while providing
more diverse housing options for families.”
Consideration 3 – Development Potential Comparison R-1/5,000 vs RMF-30
As noted above, the main difference between the current and proposed zones is allowed use. With smaller
minimum lot sizes, a variety of housing types including tiny homes, twin homes, single-family attached,
and multi-family dwellings are permitted within RMF-30. As mentioned above, R-1/5,000 zoning would
allow a single-family home with a detached accessory dwelling unit on each parcel for a total of four units.
Design standards in the RMF-30 zoning district help ensure that new development is a similar scale and
compatible with existing the current low-density development pattern in the neighborhood.
Attachment D (pages 47-49) of the Planning Commission staff report includes a table comparing the

RE: ORDINANCE: ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT LOAN FUND LOAN TO GK FOLKS
FOUNDATION, AT 1506 SOUTH REDWOOD ROAD
ISSUE AT-A-GLANCE
The Council will consider approving a loan from the City’s Economic Development Loan Fund (EDLF) to a non-
profit organization called GK Folks Foundation, which provides mental health, educational, and entrepreneurial
resources for African immigrants and refugees, at 1506 South Redwood Road. The City’s Economic
Development Loan Committee recommends the Council approve a $250,000 loan at a 9.50% fixed interest rate
over seven years. This loan will assist in the creation of two jobs in the next year and the retention of one
existing job. Additionally, funds will pay for renovation, working capital, equipment, furniture and fixtures, and
will help fund the creation of a community events center for the African immigrant and refugee community.
The interest rate reflects the 8.50% prime rate at the time of the application (March 1, 2024) plus the standard
EDLF four percentage points. The project did qualify for a three percentage-point reduction based on location
within a priority area (West of I-15), being owned by a socially and economically disadvantaged individual, and
sustainability (see section B below).
Council staff reminder: EDLF loans are now scheduled for a vote on the same day as the briefing, so this is
scheduled for action on the November 19 formal meeting agenda.
Goal of the briefing: Consider a potential $250,000 loan from the Economic Development Loan Fund to a
non-profit organization called GK Folks Foundation.

A.Interest Rates. For context, the nationwide median rates for urban small business commercial and
industrial loans in the second quarter of 2024 (the most recent data available) were 7.77% for fixed-rate
loans at and 8.88% for variable rate loans, according to the most recent U.S. Federal Reserve Small Business
Lending Survey.i In the second quarter of 2022, these rates were 4.50% and 5.55% respectively. Interest
rates for EDLF loans consider an assessment of the risk level of different applicants, among other factors,
and include potential interest rate reductions. Interest rates have ranged from 7.25% for nearly all 2022
EDLF loans to an average of 9.55% in 2023 and 2024.
B.Interest Rate Reductions. The bases for potential reductions are as follows:
1.Location within a priority area: RDA Project Area; Opportunity Zone; West of I-15; or
Neighborhood Business Improvement Program (NBIP, previously known as Façade Improvement)
target area.
2.Socially and Economically Disadvantaged Individuals (SEDI)-Owned Businesses: 51%
of the business is owned by at least one SEDI individual.
3.Low Income Business Owner: Income does not exceed 80% of Salt Lake County average
median income (AMI) as defined by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development
(HUD).
4.Sustainability: Either,
a) Membership in SLC Green’s E2 Business Program; or
b) Loan proceeds will be used for the purchase of electric vehicles, electric vehicle charging
stations and infrastructure, renewable energy including but not limited to wind and solar,
heat pumps, high efficiency equipment, and/or energy efficiency.
The interest rate reductions applied to this application are detailed below:
GK Folks Foundation
8.50% prime rate
+ 4% ELDF charge
– 1% for location within a priority area
– 1% for owned by a socially and economically disadvantaged individual
– 1% for sustainability
___________________________
9.50% final interest rate
C.Program. The EDLF is administered by the Department of Economic Development, which is charged with
maintaining the corpus of the EDLF in a manner sufficient to perpetuate the program's goals. Each loan
application is pre-screened, and an underwriting analysis and economic impact statement are completed
before an application may be recommended for Loan Committee (see below) review. Information on
successful applications is transmitted to the Council to consider for final approval.
D.Available balance and amount of outstanding loans. The Department reported that the Fund’s
available balance was approximately $8,200,000 on September 30, 2024, and outstanding loans totaled
$3,932,437 on October 1.
E.EDLF Committee Membership. The Department of Economic Development lists nine members of the
EDLF Committee as follows:
City Employees Community Volunteers
1. Finance Director, Community and
Neighborhoods Department
2. Salt Lake City Business Advisory Board (BAB)
member

POLICY QUESTIONS
1. The Council may wish to have a policy discussion with the Administration about interest rates charged by
the City from this and other loan funds and whether it makes sense to reevaluate how interest rates are
determined for lenders, especially since the City typically offers loans as a lender-of-last-resort.
2. The Council may wish to ask the Administration whether the EDLF Committee considered any other unique
information about this business that would help Council Members evaluate how this application compares
to others. For example, are risk factors evaluated for each company, like outstanding loans, years in
business, etc.?
3.What outreach does the Department do to ensure a diverse pool of businesses successfully applies to the
EDLF? Are applications from diverse owners, particularly those whose businesses are located on the
Westside, offered additional support through the application process? Does EDLF staff have ideas for
improving access that would benefit from program changes or additional funding?
4. The Council may wish to request a more general update on EDLF use and processes. This could include the
number of applications, review criteria used, loan program goals, etc.

ISSUE AT-A-GLANCE
The Council will consider approving a loan from the City’s Economic Development Loan Fund (EDLF) to a
business called HK Brewing Collective, LLC, at 370 West Aspen Avenue. HK Brewing Collective, LLC is a
business which offers non-alcoholic kombucha, through its brand Han’s Kombucha, and a bar and taproom. The
business recently signed a contract with United Natural Foods (UNFI), a national wholesale distributor of health
and specialty foods.

POLICY QUESTIONS
1. The Council may wish to have a policy discussion with the Administration about interest rates charged by
the City from this and other loan funds and whether it makes sense to reevaluate how interest rates are
determined for lenders, especially since the City typically offers loans as a lender-of-last-resort.
2. The Council may wish to ask the Administration whether the EDLF Committee considered any other unique
information about this business that would help Council Members evaluate how this application compares
to others. For example, are risk factors evaluated for each company, like outstanding loans, years in
business, etc.?
3.What outreach does the Department do to ensure a diverse pool of businesses successfully applies to the
EDLF? Are applications from diverse owners, particularly those whose businesses are located on the
Westside, offered additional support through the application process? Does EDLF staff have ideas for
improving access that would benefit from program changes or additional funding?
4. The Council may wish to request a more general update on EDLF use and processes. This could include the
number of applications, review criteria used, loan program goals, etc.

CITY COUNCIL of SALT LAKE CITY
tinyurl.com/SLCFY25
TO:City Council Members
FROM: Ben Luedtke, Sylvia Richards
Budget and Policy Analysts
DATE: November 19, 2024
RE: Budget Amendment Number 2 of Fiscal Year (FY) 2025
Budget Amendment Number Two includes 31 proposed amendments with $54,211,296 in revenues and $73,124,104
in expenditures of which $3,477,524 is from General Fund Balance. The amendments are across seven funds with
twelve proposed general fund positions for new police officers and one position (City Prosecutor) being removed
that was previously added in Budget Amendment #1. Most expenses in this budget amendment are housekeeping
items found in section D. One of these funds will be a new fund associated with the Downtown Capital City
Revitalization Zone 0.5% sales tax. The amendments also include six new initiatives in section A and additional
housekeeping and grant related items, and one donation related item. There are also four Council-added items.
Fund Balance
If all the items are adopted as proposed, including all the Council-added items, then the General Fund Balance
would be projected at 13.9% which is $4,627,100 above the 13% minimum target.
Tracking New Ongoing General Fund Costs for the Next Annual Budget
The table of potential new ongoing General Fund costs for the FY2026 annual budget is available as Attachment 1
at the end of this document. If all the items in Budget Amendment #2 are adopted as proposed by the
Administration, then the FY2026 annual budget could have $1,704,055 of new ongoing costs. The total new
ongoing costs from Budget Amendments 1 through 2 would be $6,207,570. Note that of the total cost, $4.1 million
would be needed if the Homeless Shelter Cities State Mitigation grant is not available for FY2026.
Straw Poll Requests
The Administration is requesting straw polls for three items:
Item A-3: FY 24-25 COPS Hiring Program Grant to allow early job advertising to help ensure recruits can
participate in the January training academy and for the Fleet Division to begin paperwork to meet the
ordering window for purchasing vehicles. There is no closing date, however, the manufacturer will stop
accepting orders once available builds are filled which is unpredictable.
Item A-4: FY 24-25 Vehicles, Equipment, and Related Police Officer Costs Not Covered by the Homeless
Shelter Cities State Mitigation Grant, a straw poll is being requested for this item to help meet the ordering
window for purchasing vehicles. There is no closing date, however, the manufacturer will stop accepting
orders once available builds are filled which is unpredictable.
Item I-2: Request to Reappropriate Funds for Reconnecting Communities Federal Grant for Local Match
($1.24 Million – Misc. Grants Fund). These funds were previously appropriated but lapsed to Fund Balance
because the contract wasn’t ready to encumber the funds. A straw poll would ensure the contract can be
finalized prior to the end of the calendar year.
Project Timeline:
1st Briefing: November 19, 2024
2nd Briefing & Public Hearing: Dec. 3, 2024
Potential Adoption Vote: December 10, 2024
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
No adjustments to the revenue budget are anticipated at this time.
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 BA#1. Note that some Council-added items are proposed to use more from Fund Balance that shown in
the table below.
FUND BALANCE CHART
Based on those projections adjusted fund balance is projected to be at 14.29%. The additional Council-added items would result
in a Fund Balance projected to be at 13.9%.
The proposal includes nineteen initiatives for Council review.
A summary spreadsheet outlining proposed budget changes is attached. The Administration
requests this 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
PUBLIC PROCESS: Public Hearing
Vacancy Report (193 Vacant Positions)
The Finance Department provided a vacancy
report dated October 25, 2024 which is
summarized in the table to the right. This is a
snapshot in time of current full-time positions
that are unfilled by department. The report
found 193 vacant positions in the City. This
report excludes several types of positions if they
are grant funded, seasonal or part-time, and
some FTEs in the 911, Fire, and Police
Departments that are authorized but unfunded
to help with turnover (such as hiring entry level
positions shortly before expected retirements /
terminations). This report only reflects the
current fiscal year so covering the period of July
1 – October 25. It does not reflect positions that
have been vacant across multiple fiscal years.
During the annual budget the Council requested
that the Administration include vacancy
analyses as part of the hybrid zero-based
budgeting / program-based budgeting effort.
Impact Fee Unallocated “Available to Spend” Balances and Refund Tracking
Updated balances of impact fees are anticipated to be available later this month. There is one item (D-5) in this budget
amendment that would rescope transportation impact fees from one project to another. There are no proposed new
appropriations of impact fees at the time of publishing this staff report.
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: Purchase Additional City Fleet Vehicles ($3.9 Million one-time from the Fund Balance)
The Administration is requesting $3.9 million of one-time previously appropriated but unspent Fleet funding for
the purchase of vehicles as follows:
Department Current Acquire & Capital
Cost
Number Of Assets
CED $147,980.46 4
Fire $1,900,000.00 1
Police $464,625.75 5
Streets $1,381,834.61 5
Grand Total $3,894,440.82 15
If this item is approved by the Council, the Administration estimates the amount remaining in the Fleet Fund will be
$1.5 million, which is historically much lower than previous years. In response to the question as to whether Fleet has
a new policy not to maintain a fund balance, Fleet Administration indicated the following:
“ Fleet's budget is divided into two funds, Maintenance and Replacement. Internal service funds, in this case Fleet's
Maintenance Fund, should never carry a large fund balance as it is an internal operation for departments in the City.
The Fleet "new vehicle fund" (aka replacement fund) should carry a minimal fund balance.”
A-2: Enhanced Security Improvements at the Justice Court ($200,000 from General Fund Balance
then ongoing)
In August of 2024, the Justice Court Administration received a Vulnerability Assessment Report which evaluated the
Court’s security both inside and outside the Court building. The Administration is requesting $200,000 in ongoing
funding for security improvements at the Justice Court.
The Court may need to make future funding requests to implement other recommendations but may also satisfy those
needs through the Department of Public Service Safety and Security via a CIP application. This budget amendment
request addresses the primary need of the Court at this time, according to the report.
Policy Question:
Potential Efficiencies by Combining Security between City Facilities – Council Members may wish
to ask the Administration whether efficiencies could be gained by combining Justice Court security efforts
with City & County Building and Library Plaza security.
A-3: Community Oriented Policing Services or COPS Hiring Grant from the U.S. Department of
Justice for Two New Sergeants and 10 New Police Officers ($1 Million from Nondepartmental
Holding Account and $617,673 from General Fund Balance of which $689,953 is ongoing)
This item is related to item E-6 later in the staff report which is the budget step to accept the $1.5 million grant
from the DOJ. A-3 is the required local match from the City’s General Fund.
The City was awarded $1.5 million from the U.S. Department of Justice’s Community Oriented Policing Services
or COPS hiring grant. It partially funds 12 new police officer FTEs that will form two squads dedicated to the
Jordan River Trail and surrounding neighborhoods. The grant requires the City to maintain employment of the
new police officers for at least 12 months after the 36 months that the grant helps pay for. Historically, the City
has successfully applied for and received COPS hiring grants multiple times and has retained the officers beyond
the required four-years.
Over the four-year term, the grant provides $1.5 million and the General Fund will need to budget $5,480,115. The
table below breakout these estimated costs by fiscal year. When the grant term ends, $2,071,325 is the fully loaded
estimated annual cost for the General Fund to continue employing the 12 new police officer FTEs.
In the annual budget, the Council created a $1 million holding account in Nondepartmental for TBD Jordan River
trail service level improvements. The funds were intentionally left flexible to respond to different needs along the
river and adjacent trail. The Administration is proposing to use the full $1 million to help meet the required
$1,617,673 local matching funds for the COPS hiring grant. The remaining $617,673 would come from General
Fund Balance.
This item would approve ongoing costs that would be covered by the General Fund this fiscal year for:
$383,228 for the local match of salaries and benefits,
$306,725 for equipment and supplies, and
$45,720 for 12 body cameras and associated software licenses
One-time costs covered by the General Fund include:
$787,800 transfer to the Fleet Fund for new vehicles, and
$94,200 transfer to the IMS Fund for computers, software, mobile data terminals, and radios
Timing of New Jordan River Police Squads and Police Department Staffing Update
The Department reports an academy class is scheduled to begin in January. New recruits typically take 10 months
to complete the academy and field training. When the 12 new recruits complete training they will be placed in
patrol positions and a corresponding 12 experienced patrol officers will be transferred into the new Jordan River
police squads. The public could start seeing the newly created squads in October or November next year. The
Department is recommending this approach to avoid creating a shortfall in patrol staffing levels.
If this item is approved, then the total staffing of police officers would increase to 630 FTEs (not counting 20
authorized but unfunded positions to help reduce turnover fluctuations). This includes 598 police officers paid by
the General Fund, and 32 partially or fully covered by grants: 1 for the DEA Metro Narcotics Task Force, 12 from
this new COPS hiring grant, and 19 by the Homeless Shelter Cities State Mitigation Grant.
The Departments reports 12 police officers are currently unavailable due to being on leave and 46 are in training.
STRAW POLL REQUEST: The Administration is requesting a straw poll on the $787,800 for new police vehicles
so the Fleet Division may initiate paperwork to place the order while the manufacturer is still accepting new
orders. The purchase order could not be finalized until the Council formally votes to adopt this budget item.
Vehicle manufacturer ordering windows have become less predictable in recent years. Some Council Members
have also proposed including early job advertising of the 12 new positions to help ensure the recruits can be
included in the January academy instead of waiting for the next scheduled academy in May.
Policy Question:
Short-term Resource Needs until New Squads are Deployed – The Council may wish to ask the
Administration what additional resources could help address public safety concerns along the Jordan
River trail until the new squads are deployed in October / November next year?
A-4: Vehicles, Equipment, and Related Police Officer Costs Not Covered by the Homeless Shelter
Cities State Mitigation Grant ($877,832 one-time from General Fund Balance of which $498,692 is
ongoing)
This is a follow up item from the annual budget that would shift ongoing costs from the Homeless Shelter Cities
State Mitigation to the General Fund and provide one-time funding for police officers’ vehicles, equipment, and
related costs. The Homeless Shelter Cities State Mitigation Grant award this year is $2,945,958 which is (-
$161,243) less than last year. Four new police officers were added this year bringing the total to 19 police officers
funded by the grant. The police officers are dedicated to the geographic area around the Geraldine E. King and
Gail Miller homeless resource centers. The grant also funds four civilian FTEs and a subaward to the Volunteers of
America or VOA. The grant would need to be approximately $4.1 million next year to fully cover the 23 FTEs,
equipment, supplies, and subaward to the VOA. The grant is subject to annual appropriations by the Legislature
and changes to the number of eligible municipalities.
Non-personnel costs related to the 19 police officers funded by the Homeless Shelter Cities State Mitigation Grant
are proposed to shift to the General Fund. This shift better aligns eligible costs with reimbursement deadlines
under the grant. For example, the City was unable to receive all reimbursable expenses under the grant in recent
years because of difficulty aligning vehicle and equipment expenditures with the grant deadline. The smaller grant
award is also insufficient to cover the cost of FTEs and all the vehicles and equipment needed by those FTEs.
The reduced grant award created a budget shortfall for ongoing costs would be covered by the General Fund:
$273,236 for ongoing supplies and equipment, and
$225,456 for ongoing police officer salaries
One-time costs covered by the General Fund include:
$262,600 transfer to the Fleet Fund for vehicles
$72,390 for 19 body cameras and associated software licenses
$44,150 transfer to the IMS Fund for computers, software, mobile data terminals, and radios
FY 24-25 State Homeless Mitigation Grant Officer Costs ($877,832
STRAW POLL REQUEST: The Administration is requesting a straw poll on the $262,600 for new police vehicles
so the Fleet Division may initiate paperwork to place the order while the manufacturer is still accepting new
orders. The purchase order could not be finalized until the Council formally votes to adopt this budget item.
Vehicle manufacturer ordering windows have become less predictable in recent years.
A-5: Downtown Capital City Revitalization Zone 0.5% Sales Tax Budget $25,982,860 ongoing in a
new dedicated fund)
Following the action by City Council to adopt the participation agreement and project area with the City and
Smith Entertainment Group, this item is to address the anticipated 0.5% sales and use tax revenue and expense
(budget) for the remainder of Fiscal Year 2025.
It is anticipated that this action will result in approximately $25,982,860 in revenues for the remainder of the
fiscal year, resulting in expenses of $25,982,860. The annual budget estimate is approximately $56,484,479. As
the agreement and notice period become finalized, a new Fund will be established and Finance staff will ensure
adequate accounting measures to track, report and monitor the Downtown Revitalization Zone Sales Tax.
The Council voted to endorse the proposed participation agreement and project area on July 9, 2024, and
submitted notice of the Council’s endorsement to the Revitalization Zone Committee on August 30, 2024. The
Revitalization Zone Committee approved the endorsed project area and participation agreement on September 17,
2024. The City Council adopted a resolution on October 1, 2024.
Per the Participation Agreement, the Administration plans to bring to the Council in a budget opening later this
fiscal year a proposal to create the Public Benefit Account for ticket fee revenue and the 1% of sales tax revenues to
cover the City's administrative expenses.
A-6: 3200 West Complete Street Additions ($100,000 one-time from the Quarter-cent Sales Tax
for Transportation Fund Balance)
This request would fund a new opportunity to add sidewalks and bike lanes to bridge a gap in the active
transportation network, connecting to West Valley City. 3200 West is a city arterial street which crosses under the
201 Freeway. UDOT is replacing the 201 Freeway bridge over 3200 West, which presents an opportunity for
changes under the bridge -- a tricky spot for walking and bicycling due to a lack of bike lanes and disjointed
sidewalks. This project would improve sidewalks and crosswalks, as well as add bike lanes under the bridge and
through the interchange. UDOT's project is scheduled for 2025 construction.
UDOT only recently extended the opportunity for these active transportation improvements to be added to the
bridge project and has asked the local municipalities (Salt Lake City and West Valley City) to contribute toward
adding these safety improvements.
Transportation would like to consider using the County 1/4 cent Transportation fund for this request versus using
General Fund balance.
In the annual budget, the Council appropriated $2 million one-time for the Livable Streets Traffic Calming
Program from the Quarter Cent Sales Tax for Transportation Fund Balance (separate from General Fund
Balance). The Council expressed an interest to continue annual funding for that program to reach all high need
neighborhood zones. It's estimated that there's $1 million remaining unappropriated in the Quarter Cent Sales
Tax for Transportation Fund Balance but this is pending confirmation by the annual financial audit in December /
January. Alternatively, there is existing complete streets funding from CIP that is eligible to be used for this
project.
Section D: Housekeeping Items
D-1: City Hall Earthquake Repair Insurance Funds Rescope ($3,488,282 rescope in the CIP Fund)
In Fiscal Year 2023 $7,252,300 was accepted by FM Global to pre-load funds for earthquake repairs to City Hall.
Of this amount, $3,764,018.74 (pending final invoicing) was spent and $3,488,281.26 is remaining. The project is
now being closed out and under warranty. The remaining balance has been approved by the insurer to complete
multiple repairs to other facilities that have been deferred thus far. Since the earthquake damage was considered a
one ‘loss event,’ all the FM Global funding is coming from one so-called ‘bucket.’ Since the City-County Building
repairs are complete, this request is to place remaining funds in a holding account for FM Global-approved
earthquake repair expenditures. This amount could change as projects are further along. When all repair projects
are closed out, the remaining funds will be returned to FM Global. These funds are all insurance proceeds and will
not impact the General Fund.
The Administration provided the below list of City buildings with eligible expenses from damage caused by the
March 2020 earthquake. The damage to these facilities was less critical than to City Hall.
Site/Location Anticipated
Completion Date
Fire Station #8 March 2025
Fire Station #14 December 2025
Pioneer Police Precinct April 2025

Central Business District 240 E 600 S June 2025
Facilities 248 E 600 S June 2025
Justice Court Building 333 S 200 E June 2025
D-2: Fleet Encumbrance Reappropriation ($10,580,117 from Fleet Fund)
This is the Fleet encumbrance rollover for vehicles that were committed to with the funds appropriated in Fiscal
Year 2024 or earlier, but that have not been received or completed and put into service. A summary of rollover
amounts is included below. An additional small amount of prior-year funding was encumbered for software
upgrades, a purchase that was also not fully expended by year-end.
Fiscal Year 2023 Orders: $2,863,947.37
Fiscal Year 2024 Orders: $6,502,52616
Upfit costs for all listed vehicles: $1,213,643.47
Total Rollover Request: $10,580,117.00.
D-3: WITHDRAWN
D-4: Landfill Projects ($7 Million one-time in the CIP Fund)
The landfill CIP account was funded with $1.5M for various landfill projects that have been ongoing. The funds
placed in the account are applied to individual projects and then reimbursed by the County back to the General
Fund – which are considered as equal expense and revenue.
With the Council approved Environmental Engineer position, projects have been moving along at a much quicker
timeline. The now-current project module is for the "South Header and methane collection wells" - for capture of
methane gas emitting from the landfill which is then used for energy production. The construction start date has
now moved up to Spring '25. This $7M project will need funding secured before going out to bid this winter.
D-5: Additional Funding for Kensington Neighborhood Byway (103,182 of CIP funds and $42,833
of transportation impact fees both from a cancelled project)
This request is to rescope funds from the existing Appropriation for 1300 S Bicycle Bypass (pedestrian) and the
project for the- 1300 S Bicycle Bypass to construct a different bypass route than was originally envisioned at the
time of the original CIP application in fiscal year 2015. The original east-west bypass route was to parallel 1300
South to the north; the east-west Kensington Neighborhood Byway parallels 1300 South to the south.
The original northern route became unfeasible after a lengthy design process as UDOT declined to permit a new
bicycle/pedestrian crossing of State Street at Edith Avenue (1195 S) or Kelsey Avenue (1180 S) due to close
proximity to the 1300 South signalized intersection. A portion of the original appropriation was used to make
safety improvements to the TRAX rail crossing at Paxton Avenue, which then connects to existing bikeways on
Main St. This leaves two funding sources as outlined below, both dedicated to the 1300 South Bicycle Bypass.
The East-West Kensington Neighborhood Bypass runs parallel to 1300 South at approximately 1500 South and
will serve as a preferred bicycle route and alternative for those traveling East-West in the Ballpark neighborhood.
The other funding source, a federal grant from the Wasatch Front Regional Council, has already been rescoped to
fund the Kensington Neighborhood Byway. This request seeks to add the City's portion of the 1300 S Bicycle
Bypass to resolve a budget gap in the Kensington project, as UDOT has given its blessing for more significant
improvements at State Street and 700 East compared to the budget developed for the original Kensington funding
applications.
There is also an associated impact fee cost center tied to the original appropriation for 1300 S Bicycle Bypass
found in the 1300 S Bicycle Bypass (pedestrian) for $42,832.69. In consulting with the CIP Finance team, these
funds will either need to be used on a project or returned to the Street/Transportation impact fee Fund.
The Kensington Neighborhood Byway project has a current budget of $2,472,823. The additional funding
proposed in this item would increase the budget to $2,618,838. If this item is approved, then the project’s
expanded scope is expected to be fully funded.
D-6: Racial Equity in Policing Commission Recommended Trainings for the Police Department
($240,950 one-time from the Nondepartmental Public Safety Reform Holding Account)
At the time of publishing this staff report additional information was forthcoming on this item.
D-7: Prosecutor’s Office Changes since Budget Amendment #1 ($280,269 back to General Fund
Balance; removing City Prosecutor FTE; and Rescope $50,000 in the CIP Fund for Fifth Floor of
City Hall feasibility and structural study)
This item is in response to a previous item noted on Budget Amendment 1. In Budget Amendment 1 (Item A-1), it
was noted that the District Attorney's Office provided the City Attorney's Office notice of intent to termination the
interlocal agreement between the city and County. This item was to bring the function and various staff under the
City, resulting in termination of the contract effective December 31, 2024.
Following ongoing discussions, it was determined that the agreement will remain in place as is for the foreseeable
future. As a result, this item is to reverse the budgetary impacts and actions outlined in Budget Amendment 1.
It is important to note, however, that two (2) of the positions outlined in BA1 are proposed to remain as new,
ongoing FTEs. The two (2) new FTEs are outlined below:
(1) Senior City Attorney – Class 39. The anticipated cost for 8 months is $157,635.74 in FY25, or $236,452
annually and; (1) Deputy Director of Administration - City Attorney’s Office – Class 40 (New position). The
anticipated cost for 9 months is $186,547 in FY25, or $248,729 annually.
Additionally, in BA1, the administration proposed $280,000 be rescoped and transferred to the CIP Fund to lease
office space, utilities, tenant improvements, furniture, fixtures, and equipment. Following council discussion, the
amount was increased to $472,298. This action is also being reversed, however, $50,000 is to remain in the CIP
Fund to conduct a feasibility and structural study for the current City Attorney’s (department) office space.
D-8: 911 Department Reclassifying Two Positions (Budget Neutral)
The 911 Department is proposing to reclassify an existing appointed executive assistant at pay grade 26 to a merit
Business System Analyst at pay grade 28. The change is intended to increase the technical expertise within the
Department and improve collaboration with IMS.
The second reclassification is an existing appointed deputy director at pay grade 32 to a merit assistant director at
pay grade 31. There are currently four merit assistant directors in the 911 Director which would increase to five
under this proposal. The assistant directors have been described as like division directors which are typically
appointed. There would no longer be a deputy director position in the 911 Department. A job description for the
assistant director position is available as Attachment 3.
Both reclassifications would change appointed positions to merit positions. The Administration included an
update to the Appointed Pay Plan in the transmittal that would require Council approval. The net impact of the
pay grade changes is estimated to be budget neutral so no additional funding would be needed.
Policy Question:
No Deputy Director in the 911 Department – The Council may wish to discuss with the
Administration how the 911 Department would function without a deputy director, especially in stances
when the director is unavailable. Over the years, some departments have proposed removing deputy
directors and the Council approved it but later the departments returned requesting to restore the deputy director
positions. This most recently occurred with the HR department.
D-9: University of Utah Donation for Sunnyside Park Improvements ($4,200,000 one-time)
The City received a donation from the University of Utah for $4,200,000 for improvements at Sunnyside park
(See Initiative F-2). This funding has been received through the Donation fund and will be transferred to the CIP
fund to facilitate the improvements planned for Sunnyside park.
D-10: Expense Budget Transfer from Non-departmental to the Police Department and Fire
Department for Wages ($2,131,513 from Non-departmental; $1,047,521 to the Fire Department
and $1,083,992 to the Police Department)
As part of the Fiscal Year 2025 Adopted Budget, budget was captured in Non-departmental to account for the
additional budget necessary to support increased Police and Fire wages because of updated MOUs. This item is to
transfer those funds from Non-departmental to the Police and Fire Department budgets, as follows:
General Fund: $1,854,416
Funding Our Future: $277,097
Fire Department: $1,047,521
Police Department: $1,083,992
Staff note: Items E-1 through E-4 are capital projects receiving grants from the State Transit Transportation
Investment Fund or TTIF. The City Transportation Division provided a presentation about these four projects which
is available as Attachment 2.
Section E: Grants Requiring No Staff Resources
E-1: TTIF 200 South Transit Corridor Project ($1,800,000 from Misc. Grants Fund)
This budget amendment is to recognize the City's funding availability grant award in the amount of $1,800,000 for
the purpose of completing the 200 South Transit Corridor project. Project Description: The 200 South Transit
Corridor Technology Upgrades will evaluate bus transit operations on 200 South between roughly 600 west and
University Street and identify strategies for improvement. The focus of the project will be on improving bus
operations through upgrades to intersection controls, which will likely include a combination of transit signal priority
(TSP), detection systems, cabinet/controller hardware, fiber optic communication, and connected vehicle (V2X)
systems. Salt Lake City has already made significant investments to rebuild the street to establish a Business Access
and Transit (BAT) lane and boarding islands; this project follows the initial roadway construction with focus on
transit operations and technology upgrades to further enhance the transit capacity and safety of the 200 South Transit
Corridor.
E-2: TTIF 400 South Multi-Use Trail ($6,356,000,000 from Misc. Grants Fund)
This budget amendment is to recognize the City's funding availability grant award in the amount of $6,356,000 for
the purpose of completing the 400 South multi-use trail. UDOT and SLC are partnering to create a multi-use trail on
the south side of 400 South from 900 West to 200 West, including the viaduct bridge over the railroad tracks. The
corridor is an important east/west connector and the project aims to maintain current vehicular capacity while
establishing a safe dedicated corridor for people walking, biking and rolling. The trail will feature art to enhance the
character of the surrounding area and make traveling along the trail an enjoyable experience.
E-3: TTIF West Temple Bike Transit Connections ($1,326,000 from Misc. Grants Fund)
This budget amendment is to recognize the City's funding availability grant award in the amount of $1,326,000 for the
purpose of completing the West Temple Bike Transit Connections. West Temple Bike Transit Connections-the project
will add buffered bike lanes in both directions of West Temple from Market Street to North Temple, improve
pedestrian crossings by adding medians and/or bulb outs and HAWK signals at the Market Street, Pierpont Street,
and 150 South crosswalks, and improve bus stops including bus boarding islands at a new protected intersection at
300 South.
E-4: TTIF Westpointe/Jordan Meadows Neighborhood Byway ($900,000 from Misc. Grants Fund)
This budget amendment is to recognize the City's funding availability grant award in the amount of $900,00 for the
purpose of completing the Westpointe/Jordan Neighborhood Byway. The Westpointe/Jordan Meadows
Neighborhood Byway will integrate active transportation infrastructure into the local street network to create a north-
south route through the Westpointe and Jordan Meadows neighborhoods that runs west of and parallel to Redwood
Road. This project will improve bicycling and walking along this route and increase neighborhood access to the Green
Line TRAX and planned SLC Westside Transit Hub. This route will provide access to transit at several points; notably
to TRAX on the south end, along the route itself and on 700 North. Also, it will enhance connectivity to the Northwest
middle School, Westpointe Park, Escalante Elementary School and Utah State Office complex at 1950 West North
Temple.
E-5: FY24 COPS Law Enforcement Mental Health and Wellness Act ($98,786 from Misc. Grants Fund)
This budget amendment is to recognize the City's funding availability through a grant award in the amount of $98,786
for the purpose of providing wellness and mental health resources to the police department. Project Description: Salt
Lake City will receive a grant under the DOJ through the COPS Office. Salt Lake City will use FY24 LEMHWA funding
to support training for the Wellness team, peer mentoring training for Peer support team including a mobile wellness
app for employees and their families and accompanying training; and overtime for Peer Support Team to expand
services in the department.
E-6: FY 24 COPS Hiring Program ($1,500,000 from Misc. Grants Fund)
Staff note: This item is related to item A-3 earlier in the staff report which is the budget step to authorize 12 new
police officer FTEs on the staffing document and provide $1.6 million from the City's General Fund as the required
local match to the $1.5 million COPS hiring grant.
This budget amendment is to recognize the City's funding availability through a grant award in the amount of
$1,500,000 for the purpose of hiring 12 new officers. Project Description: The Police Department will hire 12 new
police officers to facilitate deployment of 12 current officers who will be assigned to newly created squads. The squads
will focus on crime reduction, community safety, and expansion of services in areas to include the City’s portion of the
Jordan River Trail, as well as City parks and other recreational areas and residential and business areas.
Section F: Donations
F-1: WITHDRAWN
F-2: University of Utah Sunnyside Donation ($4,200,000 from Donations Fund)
This budget amendment is to recognize the City receiving a donation from the University of Utah for $4,200,000 for
improvements at Sunnyside park. Per the donation agreement with the University, the University will provide $1.0
million within 30 days of the effective date of the agreement. The remaining balance will be deposited into a third-party
escrow account within 30 days of receipt of the City’s notice that it has completed its public engagement process to
determine the improvements.
Quarterly progress payments will be released to the City from the escrow based on a construction schedule mutually
agreed upon by the City and the University. Per the agreement, these funds must be used for the project determined by
the public engagement process. The City may not use these funds for deferred maintenance or repairs except as required
to accomplish new, renovated, or upgraded amenities and infrastructure. Per the agreement, the City may also use these
funds toward mitigating the loss of the softball fields currently in Sunnyside park to other City parks. The funds from this
donation will be deposited in the City’s Donations special revenue fund and transferred to a CIP fund to be used for the
Project (see Initiative D-10 for CIP Funding).
Section G: Grant Consent Agenda No. 4
G-1: Mental Health Services to First Responders ($47,556 from Misc. Grants Fund)
Funding to support a year of a comprehensive and data-driven mental health and wellness platform to enhance the
mental well-being of its first responders. A platform of this type will provide essential wellness tools for early
detection and intervention, including web-accessible peer support and a wellness resource toolkit accessible through
iOS and Android-driven applications offering clinically validated wellness sessions and learning modules specifically
tailored for first responders, their families, and retirees. This resource will provide first responders with the tools to
build resilience and maintain mental wellness. Additionally, this will cover the cost of two mental health trainings for
SLC 911 (Help is on the way for Dispatch Training and an Emotion Intelligence training for SLC 911 managers.).This
grant is provided by the Utah State Department of Public Safety. The Public Hearing was held June 11 ,2024.
G-2: Utah State Board of Education Snack Grant ($6,000 from Misc. Grants Fund)
The Division of Youth and Family Services submitted a renewal application for reimbursement to provide nutritious
snacks to Youth City participants during summer of 2024. The Public Hearing was held on July 9, 2024.
G-3: State of Utah, Department of Public Safety, Bureau of Emergency Medical Services (BEMS)

G-4: Emergency Management Performance Grant ($18,000 from Misc. Grants Fund)
This is Salt Lake City's annual BEMS grant from the state. Under Utah Code Ann. 53-2d-207, BEMS is allowed to
award annual grants to emergency medical services providers from the EMS Per Capita grant funds to assist in
providing emergency medical services. The Public Hearing was held June 11, 2024.
Section I: Council-Added Items
I-1: City Hall Physical Security Improvements Holding Account Release (
On June 26, 2024 the Administration sent a transmittal requesting the Council release $123,133 for two projects
described below. In Budget Amendment #5 of FY2023, the Council put $1 million into a CIP Fund holding account for
one-time to be determined physical security improvements to City Hall. If the Council approved releasing these funds,
then the holding account would have a remaining balance of $586,867. The Council previously approved releasing
some funds in January this year:$ $83,733 for Camera System Upgrades (hardware and software): The current
camera system in use throughout the City and City Hall, manufactured by Pelco, is outdated and its software license is
set to expire at the end of 2024.
Due to the outdated technology and expiring license, the cameras and servers they operate on require replacement.
The City will be migrating to Milestone's system for use in City Hall. Milestone has already been successfully
implemented by the SLC Police Department in the Public Safety Building. Transitioning to Milestone will ensure
enhanced security and uniformity across the City infrastructure. $39,400 is needed for Emergency Notification
System Upgrades (hardware in three buildings). Emergency Management will be transitioning from the current RAVE
emergency notification platform to Titan HST. The Emergency Management Division will cover the subscription cost;
however, there is a hardware component associated with this change that needs funding. The necessary hardware will
be initially installed at City Hall, Plaza 349, and the Public Safety Building to support this new system. This first phase
will inform future deployments of hardware at other buildings.
I-2: Request to Reappropriate Funds for Reconnecting Communities Federal Grant for Local Match
($1.24 Million – Funding Our Future’s Fund Balance)
This is a reappropriation as the local matching funds for a federal reconnecting communities grant the City was
awarded to study and recommend solutions to the east-west transportation divide created by several railroad tracks
and Interstate 15. The study has a total budget of $3.74 million. UDOT is acting as the financial administrator for the
City. The Federal Highway Administration preferred this arrangement in part because UDOT already has the systems
to regularly manage federal transportation funds and meet the compliance requirements. The funding sources are:
-$1.97 million from the federal reconnecting communities planning grant
-$1.24 million from the General Fund
-$500,000 from UTA
-$25,000 from the RDA
-$5,000 from Public Utilities
Staff has communicated to the Administration Council Member interest in submitting federal grant applications for
implementation construction funding. Those applications may need to be submitted before the study is finalized
which could be in two years. There are limited federal funding opportunities to implement the results of the study but
the largest federal grants are scheduled to only be available for two or three more years. Most of these construction
grants are authorized by the Inflation Reduction Act and Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. Congressional authorization
would be needed to extend most of these grants beyond the next two or three years.
STRAW POLL: The Council could consider straw polling this item to help ensure the contract can be finalized prior to
the end of the calendar year.
Policy Question:
Request Local Matching Funds in Annual Budget for Construction Grant Applications – The
Council may wish to request that the Administration include local matching funds in the next annual budget
in anticipation of the City applying for implementation construction grants from the Federal Government.
The U.S. Department of Transportation has previously provided guidance that grant applications are more
competitive when there are local matching funds and a coalition of supporting organizations.
I-3: Ivory University House Student Housing Project ($350,000 from FOF for Year One / FOF
Housing Allocation to CAN for Years Two through Five)
Council Member Petro has requested the Council’s consideration on this item. The Ivory Foundation has approached
the City about contributing towards the Ivory University House, a student housing project they are building adjacent
to the University of Utah campus on land owned by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. The City does not
currently have a financing tool to facilitate the development of affordable student housing in the manner that the City
has financing tools to facilitate general affordable housing, which is why this is coming through a budget amendment
request. Additionally, while tax credit programs like LIHTC are available for income-qualified persons on an Area-
Median-Income (AMI) basis, no such tool exists to help facilitate affordable student housing. The following are
general aspects of the proposal:
-25% of the student housing would be set aside for graduates of Salt Lake City school district high schools who
qualify for the highest amount of financial aid as determined through the student’s Free Application for
Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). This would guarantee that the family of the student is need based and not just
the student. Those families would also likely qualify for many of the other affordable housing developments
that the City invests in.
-This would serve approximately 150 students per year.
-The City would allocate $350,000 per year for 5 years to the project, through the City’s Funding our Future
housing allocation for a total of $1.75 million. The initial year would come from Funding our Future fund
balance.
-The term of the deed restriction on the affordable spaces is proposed to be 30 years in exchange for the City’s
investment.
-The City would require annual reports including the number of students served.
The Administration is still working on details that could be included in a potential contract, should the Council
approve this funding. Because it would be a contractual obligation for 5 years, it would be included in Funding our
Future budget appropriations for the next 4 budget cycles and would be removed from the budget once the term of the
contract is complete.
Policy Questions:
Long-term City Strategy for Affordable Student Housing – The Council may wish to ask the
Administration if it would like to consider a longer-term strategy for the City to use its housing dollars to
facilitate affordable student housing for all of the universities and community colleges in Salt Lake City.
Council Approval of Final Terms – The Council may wish to make the funding contingent on approval of
final terms of the agreement.
I-4: PLACEHOLDER - Public Utilities Stabilization Fee Waiver for Instances of Non-use
