RE: Proposed Zoning Text Amendment to Consolidate and Simplify the R-1 Single-Family
Residential Districts, Including Updates to Residential Flag Lot Standards and the
Addition of New Housing Options
ISSUE AT A GLANCE
The Council will receive a follow-up briefing on the potential approaches to simplifying and improving City
code as it relates to R-1 single-family residential districts. Planning staff briefed the Council in August
2024, and the Council requested Planning provide recommendations for revising single-family residential
zoning districts.
Planning staff recommends revising and merging single-family residential districts with the following three
main elements:
•R-1 zoning district amendments
•Reduce flag lot restrictions
•Expanding housing options
Planning has recommendations within each of these elements which are included in the additional
information section below. Background is also included in the additional information section to provide
context for the Council when reviewing potential straw polls.
Goal of the briefing: Review the proposed text amendments, provide direction to Planning staff,
determine if the Council supports moving forward with any aspects of the proposal.
Item Schedule:
Briefing: February 18, 2025
Set Date: TBD
Public Hearing: TBD
Potential Action: TBD
Page | 2
POLICY QUESTIONS:
1. A Council Member was contacted by a constituent with a proposal to allow new construction on
legal non-conforming lots within the R-1 districts. The Council may wish to ask the Administration
whether their proposal would address this.
2. If the proposal does not address these lots, the Council may wish to ask the Administration for
recommendations.
3. The Council may wish to discuss impacts on the affordable housing overlay and tradeoffs of the
potential code changes related to the overlay.
4. The Council may wish to discuss differences between the Administration’s recommended
Expanding Housing Options and the private R-1 zoning amendment.
POTENTIAL STRAW POLLS
The Council may wish to respond to each of the following straw polls to give staff guidance on which of
these policies the Council supports Planning staff includes in the potential code amendments.
•Consolidate the R-1/12,000, R-1/7,000, and R-1/5,000 single-family zoning text sections into one
section.
•Eliminate the front yard averaging option and establish a minimum front yard setback of 20 feet or
equal to one of the abutting front yard setbacks on the block face.
•Eliminate the building height averaging option.
•Establish a maximum building height of 30 feet for pitched roof structures and 24 feet for a flat
roof, both measured to the highest point of the roof.
•Eliminate the maximum wall height for structures.
•Change flag lots from conditional to permitted use and reduce the minimum size required to create
a flag lot.
•Create a “small lot dwelling” land use with specific regulations for lot size, setbacks, and building
size that are feasible for creating small, detached homes, and include the ability to subdivide
existing ADUs, whether attached or detached.
•Allow new dwelling types (such as duplex, triplex, fourplex, and townhome) with up to four
dwellings in the R-1, R-2, and SR zoning districts and develop specific regulations for the different
types of housing.
•Including a density bonus of one unit similar to the RMF-30 district if an existing single or two-
family structure is retained.
•Including an additional unit bonus for projects that meet the size limitations of the proposed
Expanding Housing Options and provides deed-restricted affordable housing.

ACTION REQUESTED:
No specific action is required; however, the Council may want to discuss initiating a legislative intent if
the desire is to move forward with the modifications identified.
KEY TAKEAWAYS OF PROPOSAL:
The recommendation for revising and merging single-family residential districts includes three main
components:
1. R-1 Amendments
2. Reducing Flag Lot Restrictions
3. Expanding Housing Options
The Planning Division is requesting feedback on the following portions of the amendment, listed in
detail on pages 9 and 10 of this memo:
•Building Forms & Unit Densities
•Incentives for Preservation of a Principal Building
•Affordable Housing Incentives

1. R-1 Amendments
Consolidating Into One Section
With more than 60 zoning and overlay districts, the Salt Lake City zoning ordinance is notoriously
complex and difficult to navigate. This project would build on the City’s recent efforts to simplify the
zoning code by consolidating the existing R-1 districts (R-1/12,000, R-1/7,000, and R-1/5,000) from
three sections into a single section. The regulations between the three zones are fairly similar in terms
of some setbacks, building height, and wall height. Putting the zones into one chapter would remove
duplication, reducing the length of the code. The standards and regulations of the three districts are
largely proposed to remain the same, except as identified below. However, the layout of the regulations
and standards will be added to a table that is easier to read and understand.
Recommendation: Consolidate the three single-family zoning text sections into one section.
Front Setback Averaging
Currently front yards must be “equal to the average of the front yards of existing buildings within the
block face.” Averaging can be a useful method to help achieve a more uniform appearance along a block
face, but the standards can be difficult to explain to residents and costly to implement. For example, to
determine the average front yard setback for a block, a resident would need to gain permission from
each neighbor to access their property and measure from the house to the property line. However, the
exact location of the front property lines is not easily identifiable except through an official property
survey and requiring a survey of each property on the block face is not feasible. Utilizing aerial
photographs poses its own set of challenges such as distortion, front building walls not being
identifiable (due to eaves, vegetation, etc.), amongst other issues.
To make the code easier to understand and implement, staff recommends the removal of block face
averaging for front yards. The proposal would instead allow new homes to provide a 20-foot front yard
setback or match one of their next door neighbors’ front yard setbacks, whichever is less.
Recommendation: Eliminate the front yard averaging option and establish a minimum front yard
setback of 20’ or equal to one of the abutting front yard setbacks on the block face.
Building Height Averaging
The current R-1 zoning allows a maximum building height of 28’ for pitched roofs or “the average
height of other principal buildings on the block face.” While this standard would potentially allow new
construction to achieve a taller structure, the process of measuring the height of each building on a
block face makes this standard similarly difficult to implement. Removing the building height
averaging standard would allow the ordinance to continue to be simplified.
Recommendation: Eliminate the building height averaging option.
Increasing Building Height and Eliminating Wall Height
Another standard that staff recommends updating with this amendment is maximum building height.
Salt Lake City’s existing standards allow up to 28 feet for a pitched roof building and 20 feet for a flat
roof building. Neighboring municipalities (North Salt Lake, Millcreek, South Salt Lake, and West Valley
City) each allow higher buildings in their residential zones, with maximums ranging from 30 to 35 feet.
The elimination of the maximum wall height standard will allow a building’s wall height to be up to the
maximum building height of the district. The wall height standard is one of the most confusing
standards found in the City’s residential code and is difficult to explain to residents. Removing this
4
would help further the City’s goal of simplifying the code and making it easier for residents to
understand.
Recommendation: Establish a maximum building height of 30’ for pitched roof structures and 24’ for
a flat roof, both measured to the highest point of the roof. Eliminate the maximum wall height.
The table below is an example of how the zoning standards table could be used to
consolidate the three residential districts into one section. Please note that this table
includes the proposed changes to the R-1 districts such as building heights and
setbacks:

2. Reducing Flag Lot Restrictions:
Named for their flagpole shape, flag lots are lots without street frontage, located behind an existing lot
and connected to the street by an access strip. The current code includes extra standards that can make
it more difficult to use flag lots to develop new housing. This project proposes to amend the flag lot
standards to simplify the process and remove barriers that currently prevent this option from being
used more frequently.
Permitted Use & Reduced Lot Size
Two significant changes are proposed for flag lots in residential districts. First, flag lots would be
changed from a conditional use to a permitted use, which means they would no longer require Planning
Commission approval. Second, the minimum lot size for flag lots would be equal to the minimum lot
size of the underlying zone, rather than the current requirement to be 1.5 times the minimum lot area.
The proposed changes are intended to streamline the flag lot approval process and make it easier to
build homes behind existing homes.
Recommendation: Change flag lots from conditional to permitted use and reduce the minimum size
required to create a flag lot.
5
3. Expanding Housing Options:
This text amendment also proposes creating a new land use category called “small lot dwelling,” which
would allow new housing types subject to specific lot and bulk standards. This option is intended to
allow the development of new housing units that are smaller in size than what might otherwise be built,
making them comparatively more affordable. Under this proposal, a property owner who is interested
in building on their land could choose to build a larger home according to the regular R-1 district
standards or they could choose to build smaller homes based on the small lot dwelling standards.
Regulating Lot & Building Size
While real estate prices are determined by a variety of factors, two that can be directly regulated by
zoning regulations are lot size and building size. Reducing the minimum lot size requirements and
imposing maximum floor area standards is intended to allow new construction that is less expensive
than a single-family home on a typical lot. While homes like this tend to have higher costs per square
foot, the overall cost of the home is less because the total size of the home is smaller.
The concept of “small lot development” has been proven as an effective strategy to improve housing
affordability by Durham, North Carolina’s 2019 Expanding Housing Choices amendment. In a 2023
report, Durham found that the median sales price of a single-family house was $605,000, while the
median sales price of a 1,200 square foot “small house” built through the Expanding Housing Choices
program was $348,000.
Staff proposes to implement Expanding Housing Options not only in the City’s single-family zoning
districts, but also within the R-2 and SR districts. These zoning districts are similar to the R-1 districts
in character and development pattern and options. This would help further expand housing options
throughout similar zoning districts.
Salt Lake City’s Expanding Housing Options will implement maximum building footprint and
maximum gross floor area standards similar to Durham’s Expanding Housing Choices amendment.
The minimum lot size would be reduced to 2,000 square feet and the maximum footprint set at 800
square feet, regardless of unit type. These requirements were drafted based on Durham’s successful
amendment, with standards similar to what is allowed in other Salt Lake City zoning districts. The
proposal would also allow additional space for accessory structures such as garages.
Recommendation: create a “small lot dwelling” land use with specific regulations for lot size,
setbacks, and building size that are feasible for creating small, detached homes. This may also include
the ability to subdivide existing ADUs, whether attached or detached.
Legalizing Additional Building Forms
Changes also include new building forms allowed via the Expanding Housing Options. This would
include duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes, and townhomes. Unit counts are proposed to be capped at four
units per lot. To obtain four units on a lot, one would need to have a minimum of 8,000 square feet.
The units, if maxed out in size, would cover no more than 3,200 square feet (800 square foot footprint
x 4 units). Design standards and setbacks for the new building types will be aligned with the
requirements of the RMF-30 District. These new building types would become legal in the R-1, R-2,
and SR zoning districts by utilizing the small lot dwelling option. Additional questions about how these
standards should be applied are included below under “Input Needed from Council.”
Recommendation: Allow new dwelling types with up to four dwellings in the R-1, R-2, and SR zoning
districts and develop specific regulations for the different types of housing.
6
It should be noted that the proposal does not eliminate the zoning standards found within the R-1, R-
2 and SR districts. Instead, it offers a path towards more units but at a smaller scale. No unit may be
greater than 800 square feet in footprint while the gross square footage may range from 1,200 square
feet to 1,600 square feet dependent on building height. The intent is to allow more floor area for single-
story buildings with a basement, since those will have less of a visual impact. The table below highlights
the proposed standards and regulations under this option, in addition to the zoning districts that it
would be allowed in:

2024 Private R-1 Amendment Application
On December 16, 2024, a private petition to amend the zoning text was submitted by a SLC Neighbors
4 More Neighbors, called “Starter Homes SLC.” This amendment is similar in many ways to Planning
staff’s proposal, but with several key differences summarized below.
Impacted Zoning Districts
One key difference between the proposals is which zoning districts are impacted. The private petition
would not apply to properties in the R-1/12,000 or R-2 zoning districts. This could be seen as an equity
concern if significant zoning changes are adopted for most single-family zones, but not all.
Permitted Building Forms
While both proposals would allow duplex and townhome building forms as a permitted use, Planning
staff’s proposal also includes small multi-family residential (triplex and fourplex) as a permitted use.
Whether these uses are appropriate for existing R-1 neighborhoods is an important policy question that
needs Council input. Questions about density, building forms, and owner occupancy are provided
below for feedback.
Building Heights
Another significant difference between the proposals is the maximum building heights allowed.
Notably, the private petition would increase the maximum height from 20 feet to 30 feet for buildings
with flat roofs, and from 28 feet to 32 feet for buildings with pitched roofs. These height maximums
would potentially allow three-story buildings. Staff is concerned that increasing building heights could
make new construction less affordable and may lead to projects that are not compatible with the
neighborhood.
Other Differences
Standards for setbacks and other lot requirements also differ between the proposals. The private
petition’s lack of regulation on footprint and gross square footage is notable. Data supports the fact that
the smaller the house, the more affordable it will be. For example, even at the minimum lot size, a
project built to the maximum height, setbacks, and coverage permitted under the private petition could
be 2,100 square feet (or more with the addition of a basement). As seen with Durham’s Expanding
Housing Choices, limiting gross square footage can reduce the average sales price by nearly 50%
compared to standard single-family homes. If a house is built to the maximum size allowed by the
private petition, the total size of the house could be more than double the maximum size permitted
under staff’s preferred option, which would be less affordable.
The table provided on the following page is intended to facilitate Council discussion by highlighting the
key differences between the two proposals:

2025 Utah Legislature
The Utah Legislature is considering several housing related bills that could impact the City’s residential
zoning districts. One bill, HB 90, would require cities to allow a detached single family dwelling on a
lot of at least 4,000 square feet in any residential zone. If that passes as drafted, it essentially will modify
the minimum lot sizes in most of the residential zones for detached single family dwellings. It is possible
that other bills may also impact this proposal. Typically, bills passed by the legislature go into effect in
early May, based on the end date of the legislative session, which will be sooner than either of these
proposals could be adopted. To ensure that City code is consistent with any bills adopted by the Utah
Legislature, the proposal will not be finalized until after the 2025 legislative session.
INPUT NEEDED FROM COUNCIL:
In addition to the above discussion items, staff requests that the Council provide direction on the
following items:
1. Building Forms & Density
As mentioned above, the decision to allow new building forms in R-1 neighborhoods is perhaps the
most significant change proposed by this project. Cities and states across the country are implementing
different strategies to help provide “missing middle housing” in their communities. For example, the
State of Montana is attempting to allow duplexes on any lot in a city with 5,000 residents or more; the
Minneapolis 2040 Plan proposed a rezoning initiative to allow triplexes; and Spokane City approved
an ordinance to allowing up to six units on all residential lots (later amended to four units).
•Staff seeks input from the Council on which building forms are appropriate to allow in R-1
neighborhoods (duplex, triplex, fourplex, or townhome) and how many units are appropriate
per residential lot.
2. Preservation of a Principal Building
Salt Lake City’s Affordable Housing Incentives and RMF-30 district standards both include incentives
that encourage the preservation of existing buildings. Staff recommends including a density bonus
provision similar to the RMF-30 district with this project, allowing one bonus unit for developments
that retain an existing single or two-family structure.
•Staff seeks input from the Council on whether to include a unit density bonus for developments
that retain an existing structure.
3. Affordable Housing Incentives
A concern that staff has had throughout this process has been making sure that the Affordable Housing
Incentives remain a viable option for development in the residential zones. If four units are allowed
under both the Affordable Housing Incentives and the small lot dwelling option, then property owners
may be less likely to use the incentives. The key difference between the Affordable Housing Incentives
and staff’s proposal is the inclusion of maximum footprint and gross square footage regulations in the
small lot dwelling proposal and the requirement for some of the units to remain affordable for a specific
period of time in the Affordable Housing Incentives. This means that a property owner who wishes to
develop new units that are not deed-restricted would have to build smaller units, while those wishing
to build larger units would be required to use the incentives process.
Furthermore, the Affordable Housing Incentives will still be an option in all districts, while the small
lot dwelling option would only be possible in the R-1, R-2, and SR districts. Staff could also create an
10
option for an additional density bonus for projects that provide both deed-restricted and reduced-size
units, if supported by Council. For example, Portland, Oregon, allows up to four dwellings on a
property, with two additional dwellings allowed if the two dwellings meet affordability requirements.
•Staff seeks input from the Council on whether an additional unit bonus is appropriate for
projects that meet the size limitations of the Expanding Housing Options proposal and also
provide deed-restricted affordable housing.
NEXT STEPS:
As previously discussed, the City has received a private petition for a text amendment, Starter Homes
SLC, which is similar in many ways to Planning staff’s proposal. Staff will continue to coordinate with
the applicant as needed to hold the private petition while the City-initiated proposal moves forward.
The proposed text amendment from the Planning Division will include a dedicated public involvement
period. During this time, staff will actively engage with residents and stakeholders to discuss their
concerns, suggestions, and ideas. By fostering open dialogue and encouraging feedback, the proposal
can be refined to better reflect what is in the best interest of the City and its residents. The petition will
follow the zoning text amendment process, which includes public noticing, open houses, community
council meetings, Planning Commission recommendation, and the City Council approval process.

RE: America First Zoning Map Amendment at Approximately 455 & 475 East 500 South
PLNPCM2022-0115
ISSUE AT A GLANCE
The Council will be briefed about a proposal to amend the zoning map for two parcels at 455 East and 475
East 500 South from their current R-MU-45 (Residential Mixed-Use) to RO (Residential/Office).
America First Credit Union (AFCU) owns the parcels, and the requested zoning map amendment is to
allow demolition of an existing noncompliant three-level parking garage that is reportedly not structurally
safe and currently not usable. The proposal calls for replacing the structure with a 52-foot, five-story garage
to address parking needs for office space. Since the original application was submitted, the petitioner
proposed adding a mixed-use development on the 475 East 500 South property.
The Planning Commission reviewed the proposal at its May 8, 2024 meeting (prior to the addition of a
mixed-use development) and held a public hearing at which one person spoke expressing concerns with
construction, snow removal, and traffic resulting from the proposed structure. Planning staff
recommended and the Commission voted 6-2 to forward a negative recommendation to the
Council. Concerns cited were related to construction of a larger parking garage rather than rebuilding the
current size under existing zoning, expanding parking facilities which could continue the existing
development pattern rather than encouraging more pedestrian-friendly development.
Goal of the briefing: Review the proposed zoning map amendments, determine if the Council supports
moving forward with the proposal.
Item Schedule:
Briefing: February 18, 2025
Set Date: TBD
Public Hearing: TBD
Potential Action: TBD
Page | 2
POLICY QUESTIONS
1. The Council may wish to discuss the goals for parking availability for these properties, and weigh
the option of maintaining the existing parking if the structure were reconstructed under current
zoning versus what could be built in the proposed zoning, and neighborhood impact of both.
2. The Council may wish to discuss with the Administration how the proposed mixed-use zoning
consolidation project would affect the applicant’s request.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Combined, the parcels are approximately 1.5 acres. A five-story AFCU credit union branch/office building
with a nonconforming drive through and the previously mentioned parking garage are located on the 455
East parcel. The 475 East parcel includes a two-story office building and surface parking lot.
Both subject parcels were zoned RO prior to the 2012 400 South Livable Communities project when they
were rezoned to R-MU-45. That change resulted in the parking garage becoming non-complying and the
drive through teller lanes nonconforming. It is worth noting that the parking garage could be demolished
and reconstructed to its current size under the existing R-MU-45 zoning. Current RMU-45 zoning has a
maximum building height of 45 feet for residential uses, and 20 feet for nonresidential uses. The proposed
RO zoning allows buildings up to 90 feet high.
The petitioner originally submitted three applications associated with the proposed project.
•The subject zoning map amendment from R-MU-45 to RO.
•A text amendment to add “financial institution with a drive-through facility” as a permitted use in
the RO zoning district. This application has since been withdrawn by the petitioner.
•A planned development for the proposed new parking garage. (Staff note: the Planning
Commission is the decision-making body for planned developments. This will not come to the City
Council.)
It is worth noting that the Planning Commission voted 6:2 to table the planned development request until
the City Council decides on the zoning map amendment request.
As shown in the zoning map below, area zoning is primarily R-MU-45 and TSA-UN-C (Transit Station Area
Urban Neighborhood, Core) on the north side of 500 South, while the south side consists of a mix of RO
and mixed-use and multi-family zoning.
The Council is only being asked to consider rezoning the property. 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 five key considerations related to the proposal which are found on pages 11-22 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 the proposed zoning map amendment and how it aligns with Plan Salt Lake and
the Central Community Plan. While acknowledging financial institutions provide a necessary service and
they are supported throughout the city, it is Planning’s opinion that plans to expand parking on the site is
not supported by Plan Salt Lake and the Central Community Plan’s goals for sustainability, placemaking,
and enhanced pedestrian safety.
Consideration 2 – Other Policy Considerations
The City Council recently adopted Thriving in Place, a new policy requiring properties upzoned through
zoning map, general plan, or text amendments to provide a community benefit roughly proportional to
potential increase in development rights for adopted amendments. Planning staff has been working with
America First Credit Union on the proposed zoning map and text amendment since 2022, and they are
vested under City Code in place at the time. Therefore, there is not a community benefit requirement for
Page | 4
the proposed amendments.
In addition, the Planning Division is working on a consolidation of 28 commercial zoning districts into six
form-based zones. If the amendments are adopted, both the current R-MU-45 and RO zones will be
consolidated into new zones.
Consideration 3 – Existing Property Limitations
Zoning for 455 East 500 South was “Multiple Family Limited Office” and 475 East 500 South was “Limited
Business and Neighborhood Shopping” prior to the 1995 zoning code rewrite when they were changed to
“Residential/Office” and “Neighborhood Commercial” respectively. The zoning for both properties was
then changed to R-MU-45 in 2012.
Zoning changes resulted in the parking structure being noncompliant and the drive through teller lanes
nonconforming. The drive through lanes can continue as a nonconforming use unless they are removed, or
the use is abandoned. As discussed above, the parking structure could be rebuilt to its current size under
the existing R-MU-45 zoning.
Consideration 4 – Impacts of the Proposed Zoning Amendments on Adjacent Properties
Planning staff noted that the subject properties “were rezoned from RO to R-MU-45 in 2012 to promote
true mixed-use development, supported by the light rail along 400 South.” The proposed RO zoning allows
additional building height but does not have design standards such as ground floor use, building materials,
glazing, among others. It is Planning’s opinion that the lack of design standards is not compatible with the
TSA zoning district. They stated:
“the proposed amendment to rezone the property from R-MU-45 to RO is an upzone that would
grant the property owner more development rights than currently exist without the assurance that
future development aligns with the transit-oriented neighborhood. While the current owners
intend to maintain existing office buildings, future redevelopment under the RO zone could
significantly alter the neighborhood’s character. Rezoning to accommodate a larger parking
structure primarily benefits a private business without offering public benefits.”
As discussed above, the petitioner withdrew their zoning text amendment application to add “financial
institution with a drive-through facility” as a permitted use in the RO zoning district.
Consideration 5 –Requested Planned Development Modifications
As previously noted, the Planning Commission is the decision-making body for planned developments, and
this will not come to the City Council. The Commission voted to table the planned development request
until the City Council decides on the zoning map amendment request.
Attachment D (pages 61-62 of the Planning Commission staff report) includes a table comparing the zoning
districts. The table is replicated here for convenience.

Analysis of Standards
Attachment E (pages 66-68) of the Planning Commission staff report outlines zoning map amendment
standards that should be considered as the Council reviews this proposal. The standards and findings are
summarized below. Please see the Planning Commission staff report for additional information.
Factor Finding

UPCOMING AMENDMENTS TO CITY CODE
CITY-WIDE ZONE CONSOLIDATION:
•The Planning Division is proposing to consolidate 27 commercial and mixed-use zones into 6 new mixed-use zones
that are form based.
•The subject property has been identified by the City to be rezoned from R-MU-45 to MU-5.
•If the subject property is rezoned to RO prior to the adoption of the zoning consolidation, the property would be
rezoned to MU-6, as the RO zone will no longer exist.
Salt Lake City // Planning Division
EXISTING PROPERTY LIMITATIONS
BACKGROUND:
•The AFCU branch and the associated offices have been in
operation since 1985.
•The properties have always been zoned for multi-family and
limited office uses.
•Changes to the zoning map (most recently in 2012) have
rendered the parking structure noncompliant and the drive-
through teller lanes nonconforming.
NONCOMPLYING STRUCTURE: The existing noncomplying
parking structure could be rebuilt under section 21A.38.050, which
addresses noncomplying setbacks and height.
NONCOMPLYING USE: Drive-throughs are not permitted in the
RO or R-MU-45 zoning districts making the existing drive through a
nonconforming use. Under section 21A.38.040, nonconforming uses
can continue until abandoned or voluntarily removed. Code also allows
some minor modifications.

ANALYSIS
•Both properties were rezoned from RO to R-MU-45 in 2012 as part of the
400 South Livable Communities project
•There are no design standards (21A.37) associated with the RO zone
•Maximum building height of 60’ unless adjacent to a district with a higher
max height, then the height allowance increases to 90’
•AFCU site is adjacent to the TSA-UN-C district, which has a max height
of 75’; therefore, the allowable building height is 90’
•455 E 500 S abuts the R-MU-45 zone, which limits the building height
to 60’
•As stated in purpose statement of section 21A.50.010, “The amendment
process is not intended to relieve particular hardships nor to confer special
privileges or rights upon any person, but only to make adjustments
necessary in light of changed conditions or changes in public policy.”
•Both the R-MU-45 and RO districts are being consolidated into form-

Recommendation:
Follow the Planning Commission recommendation and deny the zoning map amendment at approximately 455 E&475 E 500 S
Background/Discussion:
Rick Magness,property owner representative for America First Credit Union(AFCU),is requesting a zoning map amendment from R-MU-45
Residential/Mixed Use)to RO(Residential/Office)for the properties at 455 E and 475 E 500 S.The rezone is to achieve additional building height.
The current R-MU-45 zone has a maximum building height of 45 feet for residential uses and 20 feet for nonresidential uses.The proposed RO
zone has a maximum building height of 90 feet;If the rezone is approved the applicant intends to replace an existing three-level noncomplying
parking garage with a new garage that is 52 feet in height.
PROJECT LOCATION
The two properties are located in the Central City neighborhood on the northwest corner of 500 East 500 South.The parcel at 455 E 500 S is 1.25
acres(54,500 SF)and has frontage on 500 South and Denver Street.The smaller parcel at 475 E 500 S is.23 acres(10,220 SF)with frontage on 500
East and 500 South.
BACKGROUND
The property at 455 E 500 S contains the primary five-story AFCU office building,a nonconforming drive-through,and a noncomplying parking
garage.The AFCU branch has been in operation since 1985.The property at 475 E 500 S(eastern corner lot)has an existing two-story office
building and a surface parking lot.
REZONE HISTORY
A key point is that the existing parking garage can be rebuilt without a rezone of the properties.Because the applicant seeks to build a taller
structure than what exists or what is permitted in the R-MU-45 zoning district,they are requesting to rezone the two properties back to the RO
zoning district,which permits up to 90 feet of building height at this location.
In 2012,the two properties were rezoned from RO(Residential/Office)to R-MU-45(Residential/Mixed Use)as part of the 400 South Livable
Communities project,which established the Transit Station Area(TSA)zoning along and adjacent to 400 South.This zoning change made the
existing parking structure noncomplying and the drive-through teller lanes nonconforming.
INITIAL REQUESTS ASSOCIATED WITH PROJECT
The applicant initially requested a zoning map amendment,text amendment and a planned development to facilitate the construction of a new
parking garage.The parking garage has not been utilized since July 2022 due to structural concerns.
The applicant proposes demolishing the existing three-level parking garage,which provides 147 parking stalls,and replacing it with a five-level 52-
foot-tall garage with 197 parking stalls.The existing 30 surface level parking stalls are to remain.The proposal would result in a total of 227
parking spaces.
The withdrawn zoning text amendment would have added"Financial Institution,with Drive-Through Facility"as a permitted use in the RO zoning
district.Both the existing and proposed zoning districts permit financial institutions,but neither allow them with a drive-through component.At
the time of submittal,the applicant was proposing to relocate and expand the existing nonconforming drive-through,which would not be allowed
as nonconforming uses cannot be expanded or relocated.The applicant withdrew the petition because they are no longer proposing
modifications to the drive-through.
If the zoning map amendment is adopted,the applicant will move forward with their planned development petition to build a new parking garage
in a similar location and request to reduce the rear yard,corner side yard,or interior side yard setbacks required by the RO zoning district.The
planned development would have to be approved by the Planning Commission.
The planned development petition was tabled by the Planning Commission and will be reconsidered if the zoning map amendment is adopted.
Planning staff is recommending denial of the planned development petition,as the proposal does not meet the purpose of a planned
development and the request to reduce setbacks to facilitate the construction of a five-level parking structure does not fulfill a planned
development objective,which is required for approval.
PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
The Planning Commission voted 6:2 to forward a negative recommendation to the City Council regarding the rezone from the R-MU-45 zoning
district to RO zoning district.There were concerns about allowing a rezone to facilitate construction of a parking garage that could be rebuilt
within the existing zoning regulations.They also expressed apprehension that approving rezones for more parking facilities could perpetuate the
existing development pattern instead of encouraging more pedestrian-friendly development.
The Planning Commission voted 7:1 to forward a negative recommendation to the City Council regarding the proposed text amendment to add
Financial Institution,with Drive-Through Facility"as a permitted use in the RO zoning district.The applicant formally withdrew the zoning text
amendment petition on May 14,2024,after stating their intent to withdrawal during the May 8th Planning Commission hearing.
Will the City Council need to hold a public hearing for this item?*
Yes
No
Public Process
The applicants met with Planning staff and management multiple times since 2022 to discuss their proposal and determine a path forward after
deciding not to rebuild the parking structure under the noncomplying structure standards in Chapter 21A.38.The RO(Residential/Office)district
was identified as a potential zone for the property as it would accommodate the desired height of the parking structure and the zone is found
along the southern side of 500 South between 200-600 East.
Early notification notices mailed out March 7,2024.
o Notices were mailed to property owners/residents within-300 feet of the proposal.
The Planning Division provided a 45-day comment period(March 5,2024-April 22,2024)notice to the Central City,Central 9th,East Central,
and Downtown Community Councils and the Granary District Alliance.
o The subject property is within the Central City Community Council boundary.The additional community councils were sent the text
amendment proposal because the boundary proposed for the"Financial Institution,with Drive-Through Facilities"use abuts each of the districts.
o None of the Councils provided comments regarding the three petitions.
An online open house was posted to the Planning Division's webpage on March 11,2024.
Planning staff received seven public comments regarding the petitions.Six were included in the Planning Commission Staff Report and the
additional comment,which was received after the report was published,is attached.

existing nonconforming drive-through,which would not be allowed as nonconforming uses cannot
be expanded or relocated. The applicant withdrew the petition because they are no longer
proposing modifications to the drive-through.
If the zoning map amendment is adopted, the applicant will move forward with their planned
development petition to build a new parking garage in a similar location and request to reduce the
rear yard, corner side yard, or interior side yard setbacks required by the RO zoning district. The
planned development would have to be approved by the Planning Commission.
The planned development petition was tabled by the Planning Commission and will be
reconsidered if the zoning map amendment is adopted. Planning staff is recommending denial of
the planned development petition, as the proposal does not meet the purpose of a planned
development and the request to reduce setbacks to facilitate the construction of a five-level parking
structure does not fulfill a planned development objective, which is required for approval.
Planning Commission Recommendation
The Planning Commission voted 6:2 to forward a negative recommendation to the City Council
regarding the rezone from the R-MU-45 zoning district to RO zoning district. There were concerns
about allowing a rezone to facilitate construction of a parking garage that could be rebuilt within
the existing zoning regulations. They also expressed apprehension that approving rezones for more
parking facilities could perpetuate the existing development pattern instead of encouraging more
pedestrian-friendly development.
The Planning Commission voted 7:1 to forward a negative recommendation to the City Council
regarding the proposed text amendment to add "Financial Institution, with Drive-Through
Facility" as a permitted use in the RO zoning district. The applicant formally withdrew the zoning
text amendment petition on May 14, 2024, after stating their intent to withdrawal during the May
8th Planning Commission hearing.
MEETINGS & PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT:
The applicants met with Planning staff and management multiple times since 2022 to
discuss their proposal and determine a path forward after deciding not to rebuild the
parking structure under the noncomplying structure standards in Chapter 21A.38. The RO
Residential/Office) district was identified as a potential zone for the property as it would
accommodate the desired height of the parking structure and the zone is found along the
southern side of 500 South between 200-600 East.
Early notification notices mailed out March 7, 2024.
o Notices were mailed to property owners/residents within—300 feet of the proposal.
The Planning Division provided a 45-day comment period (March 5, 2024 — April 22,
2024) notice to the Central City, Central 9th, East Central, and Downtown Community
Councils and the Granary District Alliance.
o The subject property is within the Central City Community Council boundary. The
additional community councils were sent the text amendment proposal because the
boundary proposed for the "Financial Institution, with Drive-Through Facilities"
use abuts each of the districts.
o None of the Councils provided comments regarding the three petitions.
An online open house was posted to the Planning Division's webpage on March 11, 2024.
Planning staff received seven public comments regarding the petitions. Six were included
in the Planning Commission Staff Report and the additional comment,which was received
after the report was published, is attached.

RE: Amend the Text of the Zoning Ordinance and Zone Change to allow a financial institution to have a
drive-through within an R-O(Residential/Office)District.
America First Credit Union(AFCU) is requesting a zone change from R-MU-45 to R-O,as well as
amend the text of the zoning ordinance within the R-O District to allow a financial institution to have
a drive-through.
Background/Existing Conditions
America First Credit Union purchased this property for over$8 million in October 2012
America First Credit Union has had a branch at this location since 1985
0 Currently 23,518 members use this branch at least once a year
11,907 members consistently use this branch
This branch averages 10,620 transactions per month
The five-story office building is attached to the existing parking garage.Unfortunately,the
parking garage is not structurally safe and currently is not operable.This failure to provide
adequate parking limits the ability to lease the entire office space.
Parcel 1 does not meet the minimum parking requirements of 163 stalls (311000 sf)
o Currently 23 surface parking stalls(4% of minimum required parking)
o If parking structure was removed and surface parking installed: 61 stalls(37% of
minimum required parking)
The property is located on 500 South,one of the main vehicular arterial streets in the City
AFCU currently owns the properties located at 475 E & 500 S and 455 E & 500 S.
475 E. 500 S. (NW corner 500 S 500 E)
Parcel# 16-06-407-040
Existing two-story office building
455 E. 500 S. (NE corner Denver St. 500 S)
Parcel# 16-06-407-039
Existing four-story office building with a three-level parking structure
The current zoning code Residential Mixed-Use (R-MU-45) does not allow for a drive-through
teller machines.

Proposed Site Plan
Existing Primary Office Building will remain with minor revisions to elevation color and
materials. Drive-thru teller machines will remain at existing locations, internal to the site.
Drive-thru vehicular queuing will reverse in direction, ingress access from Denver Street to not
conflict with the parking along the east side of the building. Minimum vehicular stacking
lengths of 60 ft. are provided for each ATM lane.
Parking Structure
The proposed parking structure will replace the existing parking garage which is structurally
unsafe and not in use.
The proposed parking structure is substantially connected to the primary building by a
connective walkway between structures. The parking structure complies with 21A.37.050
regarding materials, screening, circulation, and access.
The proposed parking structure footprint is within the existing parking garage footprint.
The proposed parking structure height is 52 ft., less than the maximum height of 75 ft.
The parking structure roof will have photovoltaic panels and a system that will reduce yearly
CO2 emissions of 184 tons,provide approximately 65% of energy savings. The original cost is
approximately $300k.
Reasons for Zone Change to Residential/Office (R-O) District
1. The purpose statement of the RO Residential/Office District is "intended to provide a
suitable environment for a combination of residential dwellings and office use". The
existing financial institution with drive-through and parking structure maintains the
purpose of the goals, objectives, and policies, as well as the surrounding zoning and uses
in the Central City area.
2. The proposed parking structure and primary building are considered to be substantially
connected via the existing skybridge element.
3. Within the proposed R-0 zoning district, a parking structure maximum height of 75 ft. is
allowed. The proposed five level parking structure height is 52 ft.
Text amendment to the R-O (Residential/Office) District would add "Use: Financial
Institution, with Drive-through facility"as a permitted use within the following code sections:
21A.24.180 RO Residential/Office District
21A.33.020 Table of Permitted and Conditional Uses for Residential Districts
Add footnote language would state, "Permitted within the RO District along 500 South & 600
South rights-of-way between 700 East right-of-way and Interstate 15. "
Reasons supporting the Text Amendment:
1. The purpose statement of the RO Residential/Office District is "intended to provide a
suitable environment for a combination of residential dwellings and office use". The
existing financial institution with drive-through and parking structure maintains the
purpose of the goals, objectives, and policies, as well as the surrounding zoning and uses
in the Central City area.

2. This America First Credit Union branch has served the community at this location for
almost 40 years.
3. The proposed zoning is consistent with other R-O zoned uses on the 500 South corridor.
4. 500 South is classified as a One-Way Thoroughfare (Grand Boulevard) on the City's
Street Typologies Map. The nature of this right-of-way is autocentric and supports the
existing financial office building with existing parking structure and drive-through.
5. The drive-through location remains where currently located internal to the site. Vehicular
direction is reversed to provide better vehicular flow and queuing off of Denver Street.
The existing financial office building and drive-through complement the other existing uses along the 500
South corridor. This AFCU serves the area with financial services and support.
The two-story office building at the corner of 500 East and 500 South will also provide necessary office
space and parking within the proposed R-O zoned district.
Because this is an existing development,no roadways,utilities, sidewalks or police and fire protection
will be affected.
Thanks in advance for your consideration and approval of this project.
Please contact me if you have any questions or comments.

RE: 704 East 900 South Zoning Map Amendment
PLNPCM2022-00251
FEBRUARY 18, 2025 UPDATE
On February 20, 2024, the Council adopted a resolution extending the deadline for the petitioner to
complete requirements outlined in the ordinance by one year (until February 21, 2025).
Since that time, Building Services reports progress has been made, and the required work is nearing
completion. There is not sufficient time to complete the work and a final inspection before the February
21st deadline. The petitioner is requesting a six-month extension which would allow time to complete
required work to protect the pending zoning map amendment.
A resolution extending the time to complete required work is on this evening’s agenda for Council
consideration.
The following information was provided for previous meetings. It is included again
for background purposes.
BRIEFING UPDATE
Several people spoke at the February 7, 2023 public hearing sharing support of, and opposition to, the
proposed zoning map amendment. Those in favor noted flexibility for additional housing, proximity to
transit, and potential to retain long-term rental housing. Opponents cited the Planning Commission’s
unanimous negative recommendation, neighborhood opposition, zoning that is different than adjacent

properties, potential to remove the historic structure, and unintended consequences from parking and
short-term rentals.
The Council closed the public hearing and deferred action to a future meeting.
BRIEFING UPDATE
At the January 17, 2023 briefing, Council Members discussed whether there is a path toward making the
home legal non-conforming under current zoning. Planning staff stated there is not as only two dwelling
units are allowed in the R-2 zone.
The petitioner stated his intention is to retain the existing home and use it for four long-term rental units.
The Council was generally supportive of the proposal if the petitioner is amenable to entering a
development agreement with the City to keep the home and use the property for long-term residential use.
The petitioner is open to these conditions.
The Council will be briefed about a proposal to amend the zoning map for the parcel at 704 East 900 South
in Council District Five from its current R-2 (Single- and Two-Family Residential) zoning district to SNB
(Small Neighborhood Business). The applicant’s stated intent is to allow for future multiple-family use. It is
worth noting any use allowed under the SNB zoning designation would be permitted at the location. These
uses include a bed and breakfast (if a granted landmark site status), daycare, group home, multi-family,
mixed-use, medical/dental office, retail goods and services establishments, among others.
The approximately 0.24-acre parcel includes a house consisting of four dwelling units, three of which were
divided illegally, reportedly by a previous owner, and have been used as short-term rental units. These do
not meet code requirements for separate housing units. The property is under enforcement action for
short-term rental use. At the time this report was written, the home is listed for sale. The petitioner’s
application states bringing the building back to a single-family residence would cost more than $1 million,
which he is unable to afford. He believes bringing the dwelling units up to code would be less costly.
Planning staff recommended the Planning Commission forward a positive recommendation to the City
Council for the proposal with a condition that the petitioner enter a development agreement with the city
to construct at least one replacement dwelling unit to comply with Housing Loss Mitigation ordinance. A
second recommended condition from Planning staff is the owner acknowledge nightly or short-term
rentals would not be allowed on the property.
The Planning Commission reviewed this proposal at its October 12, 2022 meeting and held a public
hearing. A representative from the East Central Community Council spoke at the briefing and was not
supportive of the proposed rezone. They expressed concern a rezone to SNB would ultimately lead to a loss
of housing, in part due to the property’s increased value as commercial. They don’t feel the proposal is
consistent with the Central Community Master Plan.
The East Liberty Park Community Organization provided a letter supporting the proposed zoning map
amendment with conditions which include rental use of the property would only be for 30+ day leases, and
not allowing commercial or retail uses on the property.
Several other people spoke at the public hearing, all in opposition to the proposed zoning map amendment.
Concerns cited included potential loss of affordable long-term rental housing units, a change to commercial
Page | 3
use would negatively alter the residential nature of 900 South, and potential for the house to continue use
as short-term rental units.
Following the hearing, the commission voted unanimously to forward a negative recommendation to the
council for the proposal. The commission determined the proposed zoning map amendment does not
support Plan Salt Lake because of housing loss. Commissioners also determined the Small Neighborhood
Business zone will not necessarily decrease road congestion in the area.
Adjacent parcels are zoned R-2 and R-1/5,000 (single-family residential). A parcel across 900 South to the
north is also zoned Small Neighborhood Business and is used as a medical office. A parcel to the northwest
across 700 East and 900 South is zoned Neighborhood Commercial and used as a retail store. Liberty Park
is directly west across 700 East.
Area zoning map with subject parcel highlighted
(Note: Liberty Park is the green shaded area)
Goal of the briefing: Review the proposed zoning map amendment, determine if the Council supports
moving forward with the proposal.
POLICY QUESTIONS
1. The Council may wish to consider whether it wants to rezone property that is for sale.
2. The Council may wish to weigh Planning Staff’s considerations (see below) with the Planning
Commission’s public hearing and discussion.
3. The Council may wish to ask if affordable housing could be included as a component of the
development agreement suggested by Planning Staff.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The Council is only being asked to consider rezoning the property. No plan for the property has been
Page | 4
submitted to the City nor is it within the scope of the Council’s authority to review such 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, and potential future uses.
KEY CONSIDERATIONS
Planning staff identified four key considerations related to the proposal which are found on pages 4-7 of
the Planning Commission staff report and summarized below. For the complete analysis, please see the
staff report.
Consideration 1: Compatibility with Adopted Master Plans
The Central Community Master Plan’s (2005) future land use map lists the subject parcel and two other
commercial corner parcels at this intersection as “Nonconforming properties to be evaluated for
appropriate land use designation.” Planning staff found since the subject property is on the corner of an
arterial road and large collector street, zoning compatibility is similar to the other corner commercial
properties. It is Planning’s opinion “the size of the dwelling is large enough to accommodate a commercial
business, while blending with the neighborhood as a residential dwelling.”
Planning staff reviewed how the proposal aligns with Plan Salt Lake (2015). They cited the Plan’s
encouragement of small businesses and neighborhood nodes to help create community identity. Small
neighborhood businesses on arterial and collector roads help reduce neighborhood impacts from traffic
and parking associated with the businesses. Planning found the proposed zoning map amendment
supports the spirit of Plan Salt Lake.
Consideration 2: Compatibility with Adjacent Properties
The Small Neighborhood Business zoning district provides areas for small commercial uses adjacent to
residential land uses. Size and scale of these uses are limited to reduce impact to the residential areas.
Setbacks, heights, and limited uses are similar to single-family zoning and can serve as a transitional
zoning change with limited impact to residents.
The Victorian style home on the subject property (shown below) is larger than surrounding bungalow style
homes and is on a lot twice the size of nearby lots on 900 South. Although zoning on this block face of 900
South is R-2 (single- or two-family residential), it is believed they are mostly single-family homes. Homes
on the 700 East block face are zoned R-1/5,000 (single-family residential) and are a mix of bungalows and
colonial revival style constructed in the early 1900’s.
If the proposed zoning map amendment is adopted and the existing structure is retained, there would be
little aesthetic change to the area. However, if the structure is demolished, a new building would likely be
similar to the design of commercial buildings on the northeast and northwest corners of this intersection,
though any style building could be constructed provided it meets zoning requirements.

Consideration 3: R-2 Zoning vs. SNB Zoning Development Potential
Planning staff identified some potential scenarios for the subject property if the requested zoning map
amendment is adopted by the Council:
•The existing dwelling would remain and be legally converted to multifamily or a mixed-use of
residential and retail.
•The existing dwelling could be demolished and a new building for a residential/commercial mix
constructed.
•The existing dwelling could be demolished and a new building for only commercial constructed.
•Other listed land uses in the Small Neighborhood Business zone could be operated in the existing
structure or in a newly constructed building if it meets building code and zoning
requirements/setbacks.
If the requested zoning map amendment is approved, the design review process would be required for the
following:
•New construction of primary dwelling
•Parking lot
•Addition to an existing building for non-residential use that includes demolition of a commercial
structure or a structure containing residential units.
If a new building was constructed, a seven-foot landscaping buffer would be required on the east and south
property lines.
Some uses not currently allowed in the R-2 single- and two-family residential zoning district but allowed
under Small Neighborhood Business district are below. A more complete list of permitted and conditional
uses is found on page 15 of the Planning Commission staff report.
•Office use
•Medical/health office use
•Retail establishments
•Mixed-use development
Page | 6
•Bed & breakfast uses (provided the property is granted landmark site status)
Consideration 4: Housing Loss Mitigation Plan
A housing loss mitigation plan is required for “any petition for a zoning change that would permit a
nonresidential use of land.” The proposed Small Neighborhood Business zoning designation allows uses
other than residential, so a mitigation plan is required.
The housing loss mitigation report for the subject property is found on pages 30-34 of the Planning
Commission staff report. In summary, the plan calls for mitigation of potential housing loss by entering a
development agreement for replacement housing. It is worth noting the development agreement would
require maintaining only one residential unit as the other three units on the subject property are not
recognized as legal dwelling units.

RE: Ordinance: Enacting a Temporary Land Use Regulation - Public School Development Standards
MOTION 1 (adopt)
I move that the Council adopt the ordinance.
MOTION 2 (reject)
I move that the Council reject the ordinance.
SALT LAKE CITY ORDINANCE
No. ____ of 2025
(An Ordinance Enacting a Temporary Land Use Regulation
Pertaining to K-12 Public School Development Standards in the PL District)
WHEREAS, Section 10-9a-504 of the Utah Code permits a municipality, without
prior consideration or recommendation from the municipality’s planning commission, to
enact an ordinance establishing temporary land use regulations for any part of a municipality
if the legislative body makes a finding of a compelling, countervailing public interest; and
WHEREAS, the voters of Salt Lake City approved a $730,000,000.00 general
obligation bond on November 6, 2024 to rebuild two high schools, construct an athletic field
house, and to make substantial sustainability upgrades at schools and facilities throughout the
school district; and
WHEREAS, the general obligation bond is secured by property taxes within the city;
WHEREAS, the properties targeted for reconstruction or other capital improvements
are subject to the City’s zoning and land use regulations; and
WHEREAS, the City is committed to ensuring that all public schools are constructed
for the purpose of providing a safe, functional, and excellent educational experience for all
students and faculty; and
WHEREAS, the current regulations of the PL zoning district are obstacles to the
planned improvements; and
WHEREAS, the design and construction documents must be completed by the end of
August in order to maintain the construction schedule that was relayed to voters as part of the
general obligation bond approval process; and
WHEREAS, delays to the design and construction of the facilities will result in
2
estimated cost increases of 5% annually; and
WHEREAS, during the 180 days that this temporary land use regulation is in effect the
City intends to initiate formal petitions to amend the Salt Lake City Code to adopt the same or
substantially similar zoning regulations through the processes required by Utah Code and Salt
Lake City Code; and
WHEREAS, the Salt Lake City Council desires to support the Salt Lake City School
District and the voters of Salt Lake City who approved the general obligation bond by
adopting this temporary land use regulation to avoid delays created by the existing zoning
regulations so the design and production of construction documents to construct two new
high schools in the City can proceed; and
WHEREAS, the Salt Lake City Council finds that amending the development
standards for K-12 public schools in the PL districts to facilitate the timely construction of
schools funded by voter approved bonding constitutes a compelling, countervailing public
interest which justifies a temporary land use regulation; and
WHEREAS, the Salt Lake City Council intends for this temporary land use regulation to
be effective only until 180 days after the effective date of this ordinance; and
NOW, THEREFORE, be it ordained by the City Council of Salt Lake City, Utah:
SECTION 1. Finding of Compelling Countervailing Public Interest. Pursuant to Section
10-9a-504 of the Utah Code, the Salt Lake City Council finds that enacting the development
standards set forth in Section 3 in order to facilitate the timely construction of two public high
schools and related improvements pursuant to voter approved general obligation bonds
constitutes a compelling, countervailing public interest sufficient to justify this temporary land
use regulation. The City Council also finds that such interest is met by expediting the design and
3
construction of the facilities in order to (1) reduce the overall cost of the general obligation by
avoiding unnecessary delays in the overall timeline, (2) reduce the overall cost of the general
obligation by reducing the project’s exposure to a volatile market for building materials, and (3)
achieve the security upgrades for students and faculty embodied in the new schools.
SECTION 2. Applicability. This temporary land use regulation shall apply only to the K-
12 Public School land use defined by Salt Lake City Code Title 21A in the Public Lands (PL)
zoning district.
SECTION 3. Development Standards. K-12 Public Schools located in the PL zoning
district shall be subject to the following regulations:
A. Maximum Building Height: 125 feet
B. Setbacks (minimums):

multiple parcels or lots, setbacks shall apply to the perimeter of the site and to
property lines shared between the school and a different property owner.
b. Front and corner side yard: 30 feet
c. Interior Side Yard:
i. Buildings next to a residential or manufacturing zoning district: 50 feet
ii. Buildings next to any other zoning district: 30 feet
d. Rear Yard:
i. Buildings next to a residential or manufacturing zoning district: 50 feet
ii. Buildings next to any other zoning district: 30 feet
C. Allowed obstructions in required yards:
a. All yards:
i. Parking stalls, vehicle drive aisles, and circulation elements necessary
for the safe and efficient movement of people, bicycles, and vehicles.

under state jurisdiction.
ii. Playground equipment and structures are allowed in any required yard.
iii. Athletic fields and courts, including necessary accessory buildings to
support the athletic facility. Bleachers over 20 feet in height shall be
setback a minimum of 50 feet from a property line that is shared with a
residential land use.
4
b. Any other obstruction allowed in 21A.36.020 Conformance with Lot and Bulk
Controls.
D. Effect of overlay zoning districts found in chapter 21A.34: K-12 public schools and
their accessory uses are exempt from any provisions in Title 21A.34.020 Historic
Preservation Overlay District.
E. Approval Process: in accordance with applicable Utah Codes, the Planning Division
shall review the site plans for K-12 public schools in the PL district. Such plans shall
be approved if the plans and approved modifications comply with all applicable

F. Modifications for Health and Safety Purposes: The planning director may modify a
regulation set forth in this ordinance or elsewhere in Title 21A Zoning if the
modification does not negatively impact the health or safety of the general public or
occupants of the school.
SECTION 4. Duration. This temporary land use regulation shall remain in effect until

COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
CITY COUNCIL of SALT LAKE CITY
TO:City Council Members
FROM: Austin Kimmel
Public Policy Analyst
DATE:February 18, 2025
RE: ORDINANCE: ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT LOAN FUND LOAN TO POLICY KINGS
BREWERY, LLC, AT 79 WEST 900 SOUTH
ISSUE AT-A-GLANCE
The Council will consider approving a loan from the City’s Economic Development Loan Fund (EDLF) to a
business called Policy Kings Brewery, LLC, at 79 West 900 South, for an existing brewery relocating from Cedar
City to Salt Lake City.
The City’s Economic Development Loan Committee recommends the Council approve a $75,000 loan at an
8% interest rate over seven years. This loan is the second loan to Policy Kings and will assist in creating 15
new jobs in the next year and the retention of 15 existing jobs. Funds will also pay for building renovation,
leasehold improvements, machinery and equipment, furniture and fixtures, working capital, and contingencies.
The interest rate reflects the 8% prime rate at the time of the application (September 23, 2024) plus the
standard EDLF four percentage points. The project qualified for a four-percentage-point reduction based on
location within a priority area (State Street RDA Project Area), ownership by a socially and economically
disadvantaged individual, low to moderate income, and sustainability (see section B below).
Goal of the briefing: Review a proposed $75,000 loan from the Economic Development Loan Fund to Policy
Kings Brewery, LLC, before taking action during the Feb. 18 formal meeting.
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.
Item Schedule:
Briefing: February 18, 2025
Public Hearing: N/A
Potential Action: February 18, 2025
Page | 2
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.
ADDITIONAL AND BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Council Members will recall approving a $75,000 EDLF loan for this business on August 13, 2024. The business
is now requesting a second loan primarily because the original location at 925 South Jefferson Street did not
work out in the end, and the new location at 79 West 900 South requires a more expensive buildout. The
Department of Economic Development and the City's Building Services visited the new location and expressed
confidence in the additional costs necessary for code compliance.
The business had a minor change in its ownership structure, resulting in only one of the two owners listed as the
personal guarantor for the 2025 loan. In contrast, both owners were listed as personal guarantors for the 2024
loan. According to Economic Development guidelines, owners with a 20% or higher stake must be listed as
guarantors; however, one owner's current stake is only 14%.
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 and 8.88% for variable rate loans, according to the most recent U.S. Federal Reserve Small Business
Lending Survey*. 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.

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 $8,300,000 on January 21, 2025, and outstanding loans totaled
$4,758,116.35 on January 29, 2025.

Reasoning behind staff recommendation
Applicants of The Economic Development Loan Fund (EDLF) go through a thorough application process
consisting of pre-screening, underwriting analysis and an economic impact statement. Only after the loan
applicant goes through these processes, then the loan is recommended to be reviewed by the Loan
Committee members. Upon the thorough review of the Loan Committee members then a recommendation
is made before the loan is transmitted to the Mayor for Council to receive the recommendation for final
approval. Because the Loan Committee review process must adhere to the Open Meetings Act, DED’s staff
has worked closely with the City Attorney’s Office to ensure that applicants’ information is protected and at
the same time the public process is followed.
In addition, the EDLF loans must meet the goals of the Economic Development Loan Fund as stated in the
EDLF program guidelines. This loan meets the EDLF program guidelines in the following areas.
•Increase employment opportunities,
•Stimulate business development and expansion,
•Encourage private investment,
•Promote economic development,
•Enhance neighborhood vitality,
•Boost commercial enterprise.
This loan will assist in the creation of 15 new jobs in the next year and retention of 15 current jobs.
This loan was recommended by the EDLF Committee to the City Council for approval.
EDLF Loan Balances
•As of January 21, 2025, the EDLF available fund balance is approximately $8,300,000

The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
Salt Lake City Corporation
Overview
The Annual Comprehensive Financial Report of Salt Lake City Corporation (“the City”) for the fiscal year ended
June 30, 2024, is submitted herewith.
These financial statements have been prepared by the Salt Lake City Department of Finance in accordance with
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) for local governments as prescribed by the Governmental
Accounting Standards Board (GASB). The accuracy of the presented data and the completeness and fairness of
the presentations, including all disclosures, are the responsibility of the management of the City.
We believe the data, as presented, is accurate in all material respects and is presented in a manner that fairly sets
forth the following aspects of the City: (1) the financial position of the governmental activities; (2) the business-
type activities; (3) the discretely presented component units; (4) each major fund; (5) the aggregate remaining
fund information; (6) the respective changes in financial position and (7) applicable cash flows. In order to
provide a reasonable basis for making these representations, the management of Salt Lake City has established a
comprehensive internal control framework that is designed both to protect the government’s assets from loss,
theft, or misuse and to compile sufficient reliable information for the preparation of the Salt Lake City
Corporation’s financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Because the cost of internal controls should not
outweigh their benefits, Salt Lake City Corporation’s comprehensive framework of internal controls has been
designed to provide reasonable, rather than absolute assurance that the financial statements will be free from
material misstatement. As management, we assert that to the best of our knowledge and belief, this report is
complete and reliable in all material respects.
Eide Bailly, LLP an independent firm of Certified Public Accountants, has audited these basic financial
statements and related notes. Their report is included herein. The goal of the independent audit is to provide
reasonable assurance that the financial statements of Salt Lake City Corporation for the fiscal year ended June 30,
2024 are free of material misstatements. This independent audit involved examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used, and
significant estimates made by management.
Additionally, Eide Bailly, LLP audited the compliance requirements of the City’s federal grant programs for the
year ended June 30, 2024 as part of the federally mandated “Single Audit” designed to meet the special needs of
federal grantor agencies. That report is available under a separate cover.

GAAP requires that management provide a narrative introduction, overview, and analysis to accompany the basic
financial statements in the form of Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A). This letter of transmittal is
designed to complement the MD&A and should be read in conjunction with it. The City’s MD&A can be found
immediately following the report of the independent auditors.
PROFILE OF SALT LAKE CITY
Salt Lake City lies between the Wasatch Mountains and the Great Salt Lake at an altitude of 4,200 feet.
Permanent settlement of the City began on July 24, 1847, when Brigham Young with a party of 148 Mormon
pioneers entered the Salt Lake Valley after a 1,500-mile trek westward. Salt Lake City was incorporated on
January 6, 1851 and soon became a major center for trade and commerce with the wagon trains carrying settlers
and miners westward. Within a few years of the pioneers' arrival, other communities were settled throughout the
Salt Lake Valley. Due to continuous economic and population growth, most of these cities in the valley survived
and prospered and have grown into a single large metropolitan area of over 1,250,000 people according to the
most recent population estimates. Salt Lake City is the commercial center of this metropolis and the most
populous municipality in the state with a population over 212,000.
Salt Lake City is also the center of the scenic intermountain west. Within a day's drive of the City, travelers can
visit 70% of the officially designated national parks and monuments of America. The Wasatch Mountains, east of
the City, are well known for their ski resorts, which are within a 45-minute drive from downtown Salt Lake City.
During the 2023-24 ski season, Utah's resorts had their second strongest season ever with just over 6.7 million
skier visits. Most of these out-of-state skiers come to the nearby resorts each year. The scenic Wasatch Front
provided an excellent backdrop as the City hosted the 2002 Winter Olympics. , and will again demonstrate its
unparalleled hospitality, fantastic accommodations and access to incredible recreational opportunities when it
hosts the 2034 Winter Olympics. The city was chosen to host the 2034 Olympic and Paralympic Winter games at
the 142nd International Olympic Committee (IOC) Session in Paris, France, on July 24, 2024.
In addition to skiing, Salt Lake City also plays host to visitors who come to the area to enjoy a number of other
outdoor recreational opportunities within a short drive from the City.
Salt Lake City is the international headquarters of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. At Temple
Square in downtown Salt Lake City, over five million visitors see the famous Salt Lake Temple, Tabernacle, and
visitor centers each year. The church is currently undertaking an extensive reconstruction of Temple Square and
the surrounding areas. Completion is expected in 2026 at which time the church should be welcoming to the
newly constructed and renovated buildings and grounds far in excess of the 5-plus million people who have
visited the square on average in recent years.
The Salt Palace Convention Center (located in downtown Salt Lake City) plays host to many different activities.
This facility has a 45,000 square foot ballroom, over half a million square feet of exhibit space, and a total of
164,000 square feet of meeting space. This convention space provides its users with the most up-to-date
technological capabilities available. It is wired with miles of wire and fiber optic cable for up-to-date computer
and communications capabilities, including satellite uplink capability and a wireless network.
The downtown area has close to 30 hotels where travelers and convention-goers can stay, with dozens more in
close proximity to the City. A 26 story convention center hotel featuring over 700 rooms, and approximately
62,000 square feet of meeting space opened in October of 2022.
Over the past year, private developers, as well as the city and state, have begun planning the downtown Salt Lake
City revitalization project, which is a $900 million initiative to transform the area around the Delta Center into a
sports, entertainment, culture and convention district with a goal to create a downtown that is inclusive, walkable,
vi
and thriving. The revitalization also seeks to attract more residents, jobs and businesses, preserve the city’s
legacy while adding to it and generate revenue for the arts, communities and the city’s future.
EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES
Several universities and colleges are located in or near Salt Lake City. One of the strengths of the downtown
economy is its young, highly educated workforce.
The University of Utah is located on the east bench of Salt Lake City. This university was founded in 1850 and is
the oldest mainland university west of the Missouri River. Over 33,000 full and part-time students are enrolled.
The Utah Museum of Fine Arts and the Utah Museum of Natural History are located on the University of Utah
campus. The University also includes a highly-ranked medical school and teaching hospital.
Numerous additional institutions of higher education maintain campuses in the urban center, including Neumont
University, Brigham Young University, Ensign College and Salt Lake Community College. Utah State University
and Weber State University have campuses to the north and Brigham Young University and Utah Valley
University are to the South. With educational opportunities so abundant, the Salt Lake area is plentiful with
young, educated talent ready and able to join the workforce.
CULTURE AND ENTERTAINMENT
Salt Lake City is home to a thriving, vibrant, creative population supported by a larger community that values the
arts in all forms. Salt Lake City has long placed significant value on the arts, starting one of the nation’s first
publicly funded Arts Councils in 1899. Today, the Salt Lake City Arts Council puts on some of the city’s largest
concerts and festivals, such as the Twilight Concerts and the Living Traditions Festival. These and other programs
and partnerships help the City maintain a strong public art program making the arts accessible for everyone.
Far from a sleepy perception that people might have of downtown SLC, evenings from Main Street and
surrounding streets are hopping with bars and restaurants intermixed with performance venues, with some of the
finest world-class entertainment and mixologists you’ll find anywhere.
The Delta Center Arena, located three blocks directly west of Temple Square, is the home of the Utah Jazz of the
National Basketball Association and The Utah Hockey Club of the National Hockey League. In addition to the
aforementioned efforts at downtown revitalization, there have also been efforts by Salt Lake City based
organizations to entice a Major League Baseball team to make the City its home. In early 2023, Gail Miller, wife
of late Utah Jazz and Salt Lake Bees owner Larry H. Miller, formed a consortium, Big League Utah, in an effort
to bring an MLB expansion team to Salt Lake City. The site for the stadium is located on the west side of Salt
Lake City, a 100-acre parcel known as The Power District.
The Utah Hockey Club, Salt Lake City’s professional ice hockey team, was created in April of 2024. The team
began play in the 2024-25 season as an expansion team in the National Hockey League (NHL). The NHL Board
of Governors granted an expansion franchise to Ryan Smith, the owner of the Utah Jazz. Smith acquired the
hockey assets of the Arizona Coyotes, including players, coaching staff, and draft picks. The team played its
inaugural season with a temporary name and colors. The team’s full identity, including name, colors, and jerseys,
will be developed for the 2025-26 season.
As the capital city of Utah, Salt Lake City provides an unparalleled quality of life. Residents and visitors enjoy an
eclectic visual, musical and performing arts scene with hundreds of venues, galleries, museums and the popular
state-of-the-art Broadway-style Eccles Theater, a 2,500-seat theater designed to suit traveling Broadway shows.
vii
Abravanel Hall, home of the Utah Symphony Orchestra, the Pioneer Memorial Theater, the Utah Civic Opera
Company, Clark Planetarium and the Utah Heritage Foundation help round out the entertainment options
available to area residents and visitors. Salt Lake City provides diverse and rich cultural and entertainment
experiences that make living and working within the City more and more desirable.
Additionally, family owned restaurants, friendly cafes, world-class microbreweries and craft cocktail
establishments all help make Salt Lake City the foodie capital of the region. Over 90 lush parks and miles of
protected open space and trails make Salt Lake City an urban outdoor paradise for hiking, biking and running, not
to mention the city is surrounded by 10 world-class ski resorts within an hour's drive.
SHOPPING AND OTHER ENTERTAINMENT
The cultural aspects aren’t the only draw of the City’s downtown center. Salt Lake also hosts a number of high-
quality stores for an enjoyable shopping experience. The City’s downtown has long been defined in part by its
historically strong retail and restaurant economy.
Downtown is home to two major shopping destinations, City Creek Center and the Gateway. City Creek Center
maintains its role as the most popular shopping experience in downtown, accounting for a significant percentage
of downtown’s sales in clothing and clothing accessories. Trolley Square, Brickyard Plaza and the 9th and 9th
area of the City are other worthy inclusions in the list of the City's shopping destinations.
Salt Lake City also has a well-developed system of municipal golf courses for the enjoyment of area residents.
One of these golf courses in particular has been recognized for its excellence. Bonneville golf course was chosen
by PGA professionals as one of six favorite classic golf courses (golf courses that have green fees less than $125
during peak season).
COMMERCE, INDUSTRY, TRANSPORTATION AND FACTORS AFFECTING FINANCIAL
CONDITION
According to CBRE Location Intelligence, in 2020 there were over 2.5 million people – 27% of them in the 18-
to-34 age demographic – live within 50 miles of downtown Salt Lake City, with a 9% projected growth rate over
the next five years. Even during the pandemic it was apparent that housing construction was on the rise.
The number of cranes above the city scape and the number of apartment complexes and new single
family homes being built within the city and outlying areas proves this assessment to be correct.
Salt Lake City is the population hub of Utah which, in the 2020 census, was listed as the fastest-growing state in
the country. Since 2020, the state has grown from a population of 3,271,616 to an estimated 2024 population of
3,503,613 people. The estimated population of Salt Lake City in 2024 is 212,570, with tens of thousands more
either visiting or working in the city each day. Although the downtown workforce numbers haven’t fully
recovered from losses incurred during the Covid pandemic, the numbers continue to rise.
Residential construction in the downtown area has seen unprecedented growth over the past decade, and the
downtown residential population is expected to see an estimated 46% increase from a 2020 population of 14,469
to 21,197 anticipated in 2025. Further projections from Cushman Wakefield and the Kem C. Gardner Policy
institute estimate the downtown population will be approximately 27,000 by 2030. This is nearly double the
population recorded in 2020.
Salt Lake City’s Downtown is bustling with construction activity as developers who capitalized on easy financing
and high demand for housing continue to carry out their plans. Utah’s capital city is among the nationwide leaders
viii
in housing supply growth in relation to the amount of housing that existed in the Downtown area previously, and a
6-mile walkabout around the urban core shows why.
Multiple high-rises are nearing completion and have already altered the city’s skyline. Mid-rises are going up in
pockets throughout Downtown. Among these are the Astra Tower, a 41-story residential building that will hold
the status of tallest in the city at 450 feet, and the Worthington Residences, a 31- story, 359 unit residential tower
that opened in the city in 2024.
Meetings, conventions and leisure tourism are also major drivers in the downtown economy with approximately
$5.8 billion spent by travelers during 2023. Convention district attendance has increased dramatically since a low
point during the pandemic. The number of rooms sold during 2023 were 1,911,995 compared to 778,373 in 2020.
Salt Lake City is a major transportation crossroads in the intermountain west. Three major railroads, nine major
airlines, two bus lines and many truck lines serve the area. The city is located at the convergence of four major
highways and two interstate highway systems. The Salt Lake International Airport is a major intermountain air
transportation hub and a principal hub and reservation center for Delta Air Lines. The Salt Lake International
Airport has recently undergone a major terminal redevelopment program, substantially opened in 2020, with the
final phases slated to be completed by 2024. This redevelopment effort is allowing the Airport to better cater to
business as well as leisure travelers.
The Utah Transit Authority operates an outstanding commuter bus, light rail, and heavy commuter rail system in
Salt Lake City and throughout neighboring counties. The Frontrunner commuter rail system extends for nearly
ninety miles from the Ogden area in the north to the Provo area in the south. Frontrunner provides an efficient
and swift means of transportation all along the Wasatch Front with trains reaching 79 mph along their route.
In recent years, over 1,000 new hotel rooms have been completed, are currently under construction or are planned,
including a new convention center hotel located adjacent to the Salt Palace Convention Center.
The City continues to receive accolades in the form of awards and recognition. The Milken Institute has ranked
the City #4 on the list of Best-Performing Large Cities. As the economic hub of the State of Utah, the City
deserves recognition when the state is ranked in areas such as #1 Best State for GDP Growth (Forbes), #1 Best
State Economy (WalletHub), Best Economy (U.S. New & World Report) and Best Economic Outlook (Rich
States Poor States). Other recent accolades include State Farm and BestPlaces’ rank of #1 on their list of Most
Fiscally Fit Cities. The City was also ranked #1 on the Forbes list of Cities Poised to Become Tomorrow’s Tech
Meccas.
The City provides a full range of municipal services including police, fire, recreational activities including six
municipal golf courses, libraries, water, sewer, storm water, airports, public improvements, highways and streets,
planning and zoning, and general administrative services.
The modern economy of Salt Lake City is rich in service-oriented businesses and continues to be recognized by
economists and employers across the nation as the “Crossroads of the West” with major industries in government,
trade, transportation, utilities, professional, business services and a growing alternative energy component.
With Interstate 15 and Interstate 80 as major corridors for freight traffic, combined with numerous regional
distribution centers, transportation is a significant portion of the employment base for the Salt Lake Valley. The
Salt Lake City International Airport is also an important facet of this transportation corridor. As mentioned above,
the burgeoning travel and transportation needs of the City and surrounding markets has necessitated the
redevelopment of the Airport. The Airport Terminal Redevelopment Program has opened after many years of
ix
construction, with the new terminal being fully operational. The project, well in excess of $2 billion, has
generated nearly 24,000 jobs and over $1 billion in wages over the duration of its construction.
Salt Lake City’s growing business prowess is further demonstrated by the increasing number of tech startups and
business incubators. The Google Fiber fiber optic network is well under way and 1 gigabit speeds are now being
offered to residents and businesses in the downtown area of the city.
In addition to being a prime location for industrial development, Salt Lake City has a unique location and
effective transportation infrastructure to help it stand out as a hub for the global distribution industry. A surge in
demand for freight volume has attracted companies such as FedEx, DHS and UPS to open distribution centers that
provide hundreds of jobs for Salt Lake City residents. Salt Lake City also acts as a full-service 'customs port-city'
to the 1,600 trucking companies that utilize Utah's transportation network. Salt Lake City International Airport is
2.5 hours from half the nation's population and offers direct flights to both Europe and Asia.
The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on the economy of the city as well as the state. The city has
now recovered, and much of the City's business, retail and industry have returned to normalcy. Nonfarm
employment is anticipated to reach pre-pandemic levels soon. In recent years it has been demonstrated how
different Utah, and Salt Lake City, is from the rest of the U.S. economy right now. The Economic Coincident
Indicator Index, which takes several measures – unemployment, job growth, compensation, and manufacturing
hours worked, and groups them into one indicator, has shown that while the entire U.S. dropped by 5.2%, and
every single state, except Utah, also showing a decrease, Utah is showed an increase of 5.9%. “We are on an
island, a different place,” says Natalie Gochnour, Associate Dean of the University of Utah Eccles School of
Business.
EMPLOYMENT ACTIVITY
Salt Lake City is the central city to more than 2 million inhabitants residing in four counties within an hour’s drive
from downtown. The majority of Utah’s 3+ million residents live in the Wasatch Front urban corridor stretching
from Ogden to Provo. The City’s daytime population increases greatly as a significant portion of the state’s total
work force commutes to jobs located within the city limits.
Over the thirteen plus years since the Great Recession, and prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, downtown Salt
Lake City saw notable increases in office and restaurant employment at 17% and 7% respectively, and
significantly the city saw an 83.3% increase in retail employment. Following national trends, Salt Lake City
experienced declining employment during the recession, but has seen employment numbers rebound remarkably.
Utah's unemployment rate is now estimated to be 3.5% , considerably lower than the national average
unemployment rate. Salt Lake City's unemployment rate is approximately the same as the State of Utah.
TAXABLE SALES ACTIVITY
As overall economic growth is slowing, FY24 sales tax revenue saw a modest increase compared to the previous
year. In contrast, the FY25 budget was raised by $9 million from the prior year. Of this increase, $7 million is
attributed the realized revenue growth increase 1/2% Funding our Future sales tax revenue.
SUMMARY OUTLOOK
Salt Lake City endured the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the attendant national economic downturn.
There remains hope on the horizon amid evidence that there will be continued and significant investment in the
downtown core, continued improvements in job growth, and that the city will remain vibrant with a very
optimistic outlook.
x
ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL PLANNING
As part of an overall strategic planning process, Salt Lake City developed several goals and objectives designed to
keep the City on a firm financial footing. These goals and objectives include the following: Attract and retain
small businesses by increasing the number of small business loans issued by at least five a year. Increase the
number of businesses relocating to the City or expanding by at least 10 a year. Ensure that each Salt Lake City
fund is financially secure by building and then maintaining a fund balance of at least 13% in the General Fund, by
adding at least 1% of revenues per year to retained earnings in the Internal Service funds, by maintaining cash
reserves of 25% of the operating expenses in the Airport Enterprise fund, and by maintaining cash reserves of
9-10% in the Utilities Enterprise funds. Maintain Aaa and AAA Moody’s and Fitch general obligation bond
ratings by maintaining modest debt levels.
For the City’s fiscal year 2024, total general fund revenue budget increased by 9.50%. The increase is primarily
associated with anticipated sales tax revenues.
INTERNAL CONTROL STRUCTURE
The City utilizes a computerized financial accounting system, which includes a system of internal accounting
controls. These controls are designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding: (1) the safeguarding of assets
against loss from unauthorized use or disposition, and (2) the reliability of financial records for preparing
financial statements and maintaining accountability for assets. The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes
that: (1) the cost of a control should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived, and (2) the evaluation of costs
and benefits requires estimates and judgments by management. The City adheres to the above framework for
internal controls. We believe that the City's internal accounting controls adequately safeguard assets and provide
reasonable assurance of proper recording of financial transactions.
BUDGETARY CONTROL
The City maintains budgetary controls. The objective of these budgetary controls is to ensure compliance with
legal provisions embodied in the annual appropriated budget approved by the City Council. Activities of all funds
used by the City are included in the annual appropriated budget. Project-length financial plans are adopted for the
Capital Improvement Projects Fund. The level of budgetary control (that is, the level at which expenditures cannot
legally exceed the appropriated amount) is established at the department level. For budgetary purposes, the City
considers each enterprise fund to be a department. Management can move budgeted amounts from one line item
to another within a department or decrease appropriations.The City also maintains an encumbrance accounting
system as one technique of accomplishing budgetary control. Encumbered amounts lapse at year-end. However,
encumbrances are generally re-appropriated as part of the following year's budget. The City Council can increase
appropriations after holding a public hearing. During the year ended June 30, 2024, the City Council passed
several supplementary appropriations.
AWARDS AND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) awarded a Certificate of
Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to Salt Lake City Corporation for its Annual Comprehensive
Financial Report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023. The City has now received this or an equivalent award
for close to 30 years.
In order to be awarded a Certificate of Achievement, the City must publish an easily readable and efficiently
organized Annual Comprehensive Financial Report, the contents of which conform to program standards. Such
reports must satisfy both Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and applicable legal requirements.
xi
A Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of one year only. We believe our current report continues to
conform to Certificate of Achievement Program requirements and we are submitting it to the GFOA to determine
its eligibility for another certificate.
The preparation of this report on a timely basis could not have been accomplished without the efficient and
dedicated services of the staff of the Department of Finance. We appreciate Eide Bailly, LLP, Certified Public
Accountants, for the assistance and guidance they have given us. We also thank the members of the City Council
and the Mayor for their interest and support in planning and conducting the financial operations of the City in a
responsible and progressive manner.
Sincerely,
Mary Beth Thompson
Chief Financial Officer

Independent Auditor’s Report
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
Salt Lake City Corporation
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinions
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, the
aggregate discretely presented component units, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund
information of the Salt Lake City Corporation (the City), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2024, and the
related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements as
listed in the table of contents.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects,
the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, the aggregate
discretely presented component units, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the
Salt Lake City Corporation, as of June 30, 2024, and the respective changes in financial position, and, where
applicable, cash flows thereof for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinions
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America (GAAS) and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards
issued by the Comptroller General of the United States (Government Auditing Standards). Our responsibilities
under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial
Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the City and to meet our other ethical
responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the
audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design,
implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of
financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or
events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the City’s ability to continue as a going
concern for twelve months beyond the financial statement date, including any currently known information that
may raise substantial doubt shortly thereafter.
3
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our
opinions. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a
guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS and Government Auditing Standards will always
detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from
fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions,
misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a
substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a
reasonable user based on the financial statements.
In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS and Government Auditing Standards, we:
•Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
•Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud
or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include
examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
•Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures
that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the City’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
•Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant
accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial
statements.
•Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that
raise substantial doubt about the City’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of
time.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the
planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control–related matters
that we identified during the audit.
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management’s
discussion and analysis, budgetary comparison schedule – General Fund, Schedule of Proportionate Share of the
Net Pension Liability, Schedule of Contribution – Last Ten Fiscal Years, Schedule of Changes in Net Pension
Liability –Last Ten Fiscal Years and Schedule of Changes in Total OPEB Liability – Library – Last Ten Fiscal Years, as
listed in the table of contents, be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information is
the responsibility of management and, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the
Governmental Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for
placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have
applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with GAAS, which
consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the
information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and
other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion
or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient
evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.
4
Supplementary Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively
comprise the City’s basic financial statements. The combining statements and individual funds statements and
schedules, including the budgetary comparison schedules are presented for purposes of additional analysis and
are not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management
and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the
basic financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit
of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such
information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial
statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with
GAAS. In our opinion, the combining statements and individual funds statements and schedules, including the
budgetary comparison schedules are fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial
statements as a whole.
Other Information
Management is responsible for the other information included in the annual report. The other information
comprises the introductory and statistical sections but does not include the basic financial statements and our
auditor's report thereon. Our opinions on the basic financial statements do not cover the other information, and
we do not express an opinion or any form of assurance thereon.
In connection with our audit of the basic financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information
and consider whether a material inconsistency exists between the other information and the basic financial
statements, or the other information otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work
performed, we conclude that an uncorrected material misstatement of the other information exists, we are
required to describe it in our report.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated February 10, 2025 on
our consideration of the City’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with
certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, grant agreements, and other matters. The purpose of that
report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance
and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control
over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance
with Government Auditing Standards in considering the City’s internal control over financial reporting and
compliance.
Salt Lake City, Utah
February 10, 2025
Salt Lake City Corporation's (the "City") management presents to the readers of its financial
statements this narrative information. It contains an overview and analysis of the financial position and
results of operations as of and for the year ended June 30, 2024. As management of the City, we
encourage readers to consider information contained in this discussion along with the transmittal letter
on page v.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
The assets and deferred outflows of resources of the City exceeded its liabilities and deferred
inflows of resources at the end of the current fiscal year by $4,037,237,500 (net position). Of this
amount, $1,011,018,518 is unrestricted net position.
Net position increased by $243,632,139. This included an increase in net position of $49,722,674
in the governmental activities and an increase of $193,909,466 in the business-type activities.
The City's governmental funds reported a combined ending fund balance of $507,272,571, an
increase of $3,110,363 compared to the prior years' ending amount. Of the combined total fund balance,
$236,887,134 is available for spending at the discretion of the City (unassigned and assigned).
The unassigned fund balance of the General Fund at June 30, 2024, which totaled $147,516,381,
is 33 percent of the General Fund total revenues for the year and 62 percent of governmental assigned
and unassigned fund balance. The General Fund has $3,188,435 of non-spendable fund balance.
The City issued new bonded debt in fiscal year 2024. See Note 6.
OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
This discussion and analysis serves as an introduction to the City's basic financial statements: (1)
Government-wide financial statements, (2) Fund financial statements and (3) Notes to the financial
statements. This report also contains information in addition to the basic financial statements that will
help the reader to gain a more in-depth understanding of the City.
Government-wide financial statements give readers a broad overview of the entire City's
financial position and changes in financial position, similar to consolidated financial statements in a
private sector business. These statements consist of the Statement of Net position and the Statement of
Activities.
The Statement of Net Position shows the City's entire assets, deferred outflows of resources,
liabilities and deferred inflows of resources with the difference shown as net position. Increases or
decreases over time in net position gives an indicator as to whether the financial condition of the City is
improving or declining.
The Statement of Activities shows the changes to net position that occurred during the most
recent fiscal year. These changes are recorded on an accrual basis when the underlying event that causes
the change occurs, regardless of when the cash transaction takes place. One example is the next debt
5
interest payment when the fiscal year ends in between interest payments. The Statement of Changes in
Net Position shows an additional interest expense for the time period between the last interest payment
and the end of the fiscal year.
Both of the government-wide financial statements distinguish between activities that are largely
supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues (governmental activities) and those whose
operations are entirely or largely financed by user charges and fees (business type-activities). The
governmental activities for the City include general governmental (Council, Mayor, Attorney, Finance
and Non-departmental); public safety (Police, Fire and Central Dispatch); streets and recreation (Public
Services); and other development (Community & Neighborhoods and Economic Development). The
business-type activities include water, sewer, stormwater, street lighting, airport, housing, refuse
collection, golf and redevelopment.
The government-wide financial statements include not only the City itself (the primary
government), but also those of the legally separate Salt Lake City Library (Library), the Utah
Performing Arts Center Agency (UPACA) and Gallivan. These three entities (component units) are
financially accountable to the City and are presented separately from the primary government itself. Two
other entities, the Redevelopment Agency of Salt Lake City (RDA) and the Local Building Authority
(LBA) are also legally separate from the City, but for all practical purposes function as a part of the City
and are therefore blended as an integral part of the primary government.
The government-wide financial statements are found immediately following this discussion and
analysis.
FUND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
A fund is a set of closely related accounts that are used to maintain control over resources that
have been segregated for specific activities or purposes. The City, like other state and local
governments, uses fund accounting to demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements.
All of the City's funds can be categorized into one of three categories: governmental funds, proprietary
funds and fiduciary funds.
Governmental funds account for essentially the same activities as the governmental activities in
the government-wide financial statements, but with a narrower focus. Governmental funds concentrate
on near-term inflows and outflows of financial resources and the balances of spendable resources
available to the government at the end of the fiscal year. This information can be useful in evaluating the
government’s short term financing requirements.
6
Comparing similar information presented in the government-wide statements for the
governmental activities with that presented in governmental funds statements can provide useful
information because of the different focus of the two approaches. With the long-term focus of the
government-wide statements, a reader may be able to better understand the long-term effects of the near
term financing decisions. Both the governmental fund balance sheet and the governmental fund
statement of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balance show reconciliation between the
governmental funds statements to the governmental activities in the government-wide statements to aid
in the comparison.
The City uses fourteen different individual governmental funds. Of this number, information is
shown separately for the General, Capital Projects and Other Improvement Funds, all of which are
deemed major funds. Information from the other eleven funds is presented in a single combined column.
Individual presentations for these non-major funds are contained in combining information shown after
the notes to the financial statements as listed in the table of contents. The City adopts an annual
appropriated budget for all its governmental funds. Budgetary comparison schedules have been provided
to demonstrate compliance with these budgets.
Within the Proprietary funds are two types that the City utilizes; enterprise and internal service
funds. Enterprise funds report the same functions as the business-type activities in the government-wide
financial statements. The Enterprise funds maintained by the City are: the water, sewer, stormwater and
street lighting utilities; the Salt Lake City International Airport (Airport); housing and business loans,
refuse collection, golf, and the RDA. Internal service funds are used as an accounting device to
accumulate and allocate costs among the City's various governmental and enterprise activities. The City
uses internal service funds to account for its vehicle fleet, information technology, risk management and
employee benefits, tort liability, and the LBA. Because all of these activities support primarily
governmental rather than business-type activities, they have been included within the governmental
activities column of the government-wide financial statements.
Proprietary funds present the same information as in the government-wide statements, except in
more detail. The fund statements for proprietary funds provide separate information for the Department
of Airports, Water Utility, Sewer Utility, Stormwater Utility, and the Redevelopment Agency, all of
which are considered to be major funds of the City. Individual presentations for the remaining enterprise
funds are contained in the combining information elsewhere in this report. All internal service funds are
shown in one single column in the proprietary fund financial statements. Individual fund information can
be found in the combining information elsewhere in this report. The City also adopts annual
appropriated budgets for all of its proprietary funds. As with the governmental funds, budgetary
comparison statements are included to show compliance with these budgets.
The basic proprietary fund financial statements can be found as listed in the table of contents.
Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held by the City for the benefit of entities
outside of the government. Since these resources cannot be used to support the operations of the City,
they are not shown in the government-wide financial statements. The accounting for fiduciary funds is
similar to that of proprietary funds. The fiduciary fund financial statements can be found as listed in the
table of contents.
7
Notes to the financial statements contain additional information important to a complete
understanding of the information contained in the government-wide and fund financial statements. Notes
to the financial statements are located after the statements for major funds as listed in the table of
contents.

Net Position percentage -
Current Fiscal Year
Invested in
capital assets,
net 63%
Restricted 12%Unrestricted 25%
The largest component of the City’s net
position is its investment in capital assets. 60
percent of total net position represents the City’s
investment in land and land improvements,
buildings, machinery and equipment, roads,
streetlights, signals and bridges, less any related
outstanding debt that was used to acquire these
assets. The City uses these capital assets to
provide services to citizens who live, work, pass
through or benefit in other ways from the City.
By their nature, these assets are not available for
future spending. Further, even though these
capital assets are reported net of any related
debt, resources needed to repay the debt must
come from other sources, as the assets
themselves cannot be used to satisfy the related
obligations.
Of the remainder of net position, 13 percent, is assets that are subject to external restrictions on
how they may be expended (debt reserve funds or unexpended debt proceeds).

10
Water and Sewer Utilities continue to invest heavily in capital assets. During FY 2021, the Airport
completed and opened Phase I of the Terminal Redevelopment Program and North Concourse Program.
This resulted in higher square footage for terminal rents and the debt service on the Airport’s revenue
bonds being included in terminal rents. These factors caused the terminal rent rate to increase
considerably. The Sewer Utility has planned major projects for the sewer collection system that will
accommodate the current and planned development in the northwest area of the City. A new water
reclamation facility is being constructed on the existing plant site that will cost in excess of $711 million
and is anticipated to be in operation by 2027.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF CITY FUNDS
The City’s governmental funds provide information on the short-term resource inflows and

Major Governmental Fund Financial Statements
General Fund - The General Fund is the principal fund of the City and is used to account for resources
traditionally associated with governments which are not required to be accounted for in another fund.
The General Fund accounts for the normal activities of the City, (i.e. police, fire, public works, parks,
community and economic development, general government, etc.). These activities are funded
principally by property taxes, sales and use taxes, franchise taxes, licenses and permits.
Capital Projects Fund - The City's Capital Projects Fund is used to account for resources designated to
construct general capital assets which, by their nature, may require more than one budgetary cycle for
completion. Project budgets are adopted for the Capital Projects Fund.
Other Improvements Fund - This fund is used to account for the cost of servicing the debt created by
financing projects other than Special Improvements. The City borrowed $7 million to construct a
parking structure. The loan is being reported in the Other Improvements Fund.

RECONCILIATION OF THE GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS BALANCE SHEET
TO THE STATEMENTS OF NET POSITION
June 30, 2024
Total fund balances for governmental funds $ 507,272,571
Total net position reported for governmental activities in the statement of net position is different
because:
Capital assets used in governmental activities are not financial resources and therefore are not
reported in the funds. Those assets consist of: (see Note 5)
Land $ 80,809,363
Infrastructure 571,554,833
Buildings 424,290,668
Improvements other than buildings 137,461,649
Equipment 149,691,119
Construction in progress 26,256,302
Lease assets 8,319,367
Subscription assets 10,405,776
Less accumulated depreciation and amortization (505,589,210)
Total capital assets 903,199,867
Other assets are reported for governmental activities as they are not considered collectible until
after year end. These include other receivables that are long-term in nature and bond issue costs
less amortization
Accounts Receivable 10,361
Investment in joint venture 1,125,273
Prepaids 2,125,638
Pension asset 42,605,189
Deferred loss on refunding of debt 5,792,007
Deferred pension outflow 68,797,386
120,455,854
Internal services funds are used by the City to charge the costs of the fleet management system,
data processing services, insurance for employee health, accident, long-term disability,
unemployment and worker's compensation, general liability claims, and acquisition and lease to
the City of purchased or constructed property. 50,966,169
Some of the internal service net income is allocable to business-type activities. These amounts are
shown in the internal balances in the governmental activities statement. 12,486,405
Long-term liabilities applicable to the City's governmental activities are not due and payable in the
current period and accordingly are not reported as fund liabilities. Interest on long-term debt is not
accrued in governmental funds, but rather as an expenditure when due. Obligation for
compensated absence liabilities due within 60 days are included in the governmental fund
statements in accrued liabilities. All liabilities -both current and long-term are reported in the
statement of net position. (See Note 6)

SALT LAKE CITY CORPORATION
RECONCILIATION OF THE STATEMENT OF REVENUES, EXPENDITURES, AND CHANGES IN
FUND BALANCES OF GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS TO THE STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES
For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2024
Net change in fund balances - total governmental funds $ 3,110,363
The change in net position reported for governmental activities in the statement of activities is different
because:
Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures. However, in the statement of activities the cost of
those assets is allocated over their estimated useful lives and reported as depreciation expense. This is the
amount by which capital outlay $73,436,026 plus Work in Process reclassifications $32,226,621 included as
additions exceeded depreciation expense and unallocated depreciation $40,467,089. (See Note 5.)
65,195,558
Repayment of principal as an expenditure in the governmental funds but reduces the liability in the statement
of net position. (See Note 6.) 21,100,171
In governmental funds the proceeds from the bonds and notes are considered a source of financing, but in the
statement of net position, the obligation is reported as a liability. (see Note 6.) (24,885,893)
Under the modified accrual basis of accounting used in the governmental funds, expenditures are not
recognized for transactions that are not normally paid with expendable available financial resources. In the
statement of activities, however, which is presented on the accrual basis,expenses and liabilities are reported
regardless of when financial resources are available. In addition, interest on long-term debt is not recognized
under the modified accrual basis of accounting until due, rather than as it accrues. This adjustment contains
the following:
Personnel $ (28,454,484)
Refunding deferred amortization 1,189,155
Other financing 14,269,127
Interest 327,559
(12,668,643)
Internal services funds are used by the City to charge the costs of the fleet management system, data
processing services, insurance for employee health, accident, long-term disability, unemployment and
worker's compensation, general liability claims, acquisition and lease to the City of purchased or constructed
property and equipment and photocopying and printing services. The net revenue of internal service funds is
allocated between governmental activities and business-type activities. Internal service fund net loss of
$(10,357,524) in addition to business-type activities of $(2,122,853). (2,128,881)

Notes to the Financial Statements
45
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Salt Lake City Corporation (the City) was incorporated January 6, 1851. The City operates under
a Council-Mayor form of government and provides services to residents and businesses in many areas
including police and fire protection, street maintenance, refuse collection, planning and zoning, building
construction inspection, parks and recreation, prosecution, water, sewer, stormwater, airports, and
general administrative services.
Reporting Entity
For financial reporting purposes, the reporting entity includes all funds, agencies and authorities
for which the City holds corporate powers and all component units for which the City is financially
accountable. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) has established criteria to
consider in determining financial accountability. The criteria are: appointment of a majority of the
voting members of an organization’s governing board, and either (1) the City has the ability to impose
its will on the organization or (2) there is potential for the organization to provide specific financial
benefits to, or impose specific financial burdens on, the City.
As required by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), these financial statements
present the City, the primary government, and its component units. The component units are included in
the City’s reporting entity because of the significance of their operational or financial relationship with
the City. The following funds, all with fiscal years ended June 30, 2024, have separately issued financial
statements that can be obtained from their respective administrative offices: (1) The Arts Council (a
special revenue fund), (2) the Water, Sewer, Stormwater and Street Lighting Utility Funds (enterprise
funds), (3) the Department of Airports (an enterprise fund) and (4) the DEA Metro Narcotic Task Force
(DEA) (a special revenue fund).
Blended Component Units
The Local Building Authority and the Redevelopment Agency of Salt Lake City are legally
separate entities from the City, but are part of the City and are blended into the internal service and
enterprise funds, respectively. The Redevelopment Agency has separately issued financial statements for
the year ended June 30, 2024, which are available at the Agency’s administrative office. The sole
purpose of the Local Building Authority is to serve the City as a financing agency for debt financed
projects. The sole purpose of the Redevelopment Agency is the elimination of blight through the process
of redevelopment in designated project areas within the boundaries of the City. The Salt Lake City
Council serves as the Board of Directors of both the Local Building Authority and the Redevelopment
Agency. There is a financial benefit (burden) and operational responsibility between the City and the
Local Building Authority and the Redevelopment Agency.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Discretely Presented Component Units
The discretely presented component units are the Salt Lake City Library, the Utah Performing
Arts Center (UPACA) and the Gallivan Center (Gallivan). The Library is legally separate from, but
financially accountable to the City, as the City can impose its will on the Library through the entire nine
member Library Board appointment as well as the budget and property tax rate setting process. The
Library provides services to residents rather than to the City and therefore meets the criteria of a
discretely presented component unit. It is not financially dependent upon another government
organization and should not be presented in any other governmental entity’s financial statements. The
Salt Lake City Library is a governmental fund and has separately issued financial statements for the year
ended June 30, 2024, which are available at the administrative offices of the Library.
Utah Performing Arts Center Agency (UPACA) - In March 2013, Salt Lake City (City), the
Redevelopment Agency (RDA) and Salt Lake County (County), executed an Interlocal Cooperation
Agreement to form and create a separate legal entity, the Utah Performing Arts Center Agency
(UPACA), that owns, operates, maintains and improves the George S. and Dolores Doré Eccles Theater
(Theater). This state-of-the-art Theater opened in October 2016, and provides an excellent venue for
Broadway shows, concerts and other entertainment events, as well as local performances and community
events.
UPACA provides services to residents rather than to the City and therefore meets the criteria of a
discretely presented component unit of the City. UPACA is reported as an Equity Interest in Joint
Venture in the RDA’s and Salt Lake County’s separately issued financial statements. UPACA has
separately issued audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023.
The City and the RDA own 75% with the County having a 25% ownership in UPACA. UPACA
is governed by a board of trustees consisting of nine members. Board membership is comprised of three
representatives appointed by the County and six representatives appointed by the City and the RDA.
Each representative has one vote and each representative's term continues until a successor is appointed.
In March 2013, an Operating Agreement was entered into by UPACA, the Agency, the City and
the County assigning responsibility for the operation and management to the County Center for the Arts
(CFA) through December 31, 2041. CFA accounts for UPACA on a calendar year. Net operating
income is distributed annually to the partners in amounts outlined in organizational agreements after
required contributions to operating and capital reserve accounts. The County is responsible for any
operating deficits and the City and RDA are responsible for the bond debt.
The discretely presented component unit of the RDA is The Gallivan Center (Gallivan), a
separate legal entity which maintains a popular downtown year-round outdoor venue for the enjoyment
of the residents and guests of the City. The RDA and City appoint the majority of board members. In
addition, there are financial obligations on the RDA and operational responsibilities between the RDA
and Gallivan, therefore it meets the criteria for a discretely presented component unit. The venue
SALT LAKE CITY CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2024
47
includes an amphitheater, public plazas with unique art installations, a banquet/meeting center, an ice
rink and professional stage. The Gallivan serves as a hub for concerts, festivals and other public
gatherings and celebrations. It also provides space for exhibits, workshops, debates and lectures, and
other events, both public and private.
Previously, the Gallivan was accounted for in the donation fund in the Salt Lake City ACFR. As
of June 1, 2023, the equity for the the Gallivan was transferred to the RDA. The RDA began reporting
Gallivan as a component unit as a result of the equity transfer. The transfer is reported as non-operating
revenue.
Joint Venture
The City is a fifty percent partner with Salt Lake County in two joint ventures. One is known as
the City/County Landfill. The purpose of this joint venture is to provide solid waste management and
disposal services (see note 19). The other joint venture is the Sugarhouse Park. This joint venture
provides open space for enjoyment and other leisure activities for residents of the City, the County and
non-resident guests.
Related Organizations
The City also has activities with three other related organizations, the Metropolitan Water
District, the Housing Authority of Salt Lake City and the Salt Lake City Mosquito Abatement District.
City officials appoint members of these three boards, but the City’s accountability does not extend
beyond making the appointments.
Basis of Presentation - Government-wide and fund financial statements
Government-wide statements are comprised of the Statement of Net Position and the Statement
of Activities. They contain information on all of the activities of the primary government and its
component units except for fiduciary activities. Most effects of inter-fund activities have been
eliminated from these statements. The exceptions are (1) payments-in-lieu-of-taxes the General Fund
charges enterprise funds; (2) charges for water, sewer, storm-water and refuse that all customers pay to
these enterprise funds and (3) charges for centrally provided services of the General Fund that benefit
the receiving fund. Examples are payroll, purchasing, human resources and legal services. The
government-wide statements for the primary government are separated based on the predominance of
the type of revenues that support them. Governmental activities are normally supported by taxes and
intergovernmental revenues, while business-type activities receive a significant portion of revenues from
fees and charges for services. Certain entities that are legally separate, but financially accountable to the
primary government are reported separately on the government-wide statements. The City currently has
two of these entities, its discretely presented component units.
The statement of activities is presented to show the extent that program revenues of a given
activity support direct expenses. Direct expenses are those that can clearly be associated with a
SALT LAKE CITY CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2024
48
particular activity or program. Program revenues are: (1) charges to customers or others who purchase,
use or directly benefit from the services or goods provided by a given activity or segment or (2) grants or
other contributions that are restricted to operating or capital needs of a specific activity or segment.
General revenues are those revenues like taxes and other items that are not properly reported as program
revenues.
Separate financial statements are included for governmental funds, proprietary funds and
fiduciary funds. Fiduciary funds, however, are not included in the totals for the government-wide
financial statements. Major individual governmental funds are reported in separate columns in the
governmental funds statements, as are major individual proprietary funds in the proprietary funds
statements.
Measurement focus and basis of accounting
Measurement focus refers to the types of assets that appear on the statement of net position and
changes to those same assets that appear on the statement of changes in net position. The current
financial resources measurement focus shows current assets, liabilities and deferred inflows on the
statement of net position and changes to net position in the statement of changes in net position. The
flow of economic resources measurement focus shows total assets, deferred outflows, liabilities and
deferred inflows on the statement of net position and changes to net position on the statement of changes
in net position. Basis of accounting refers to when revenues and expenditures or expenses are recognized
in the accounts and reported in the financial statements.
Government-wide, proprietary and fiduciary fund statements use the economic resources
measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized in the accounting
period in which they are earned and expenses are recognized in the period incurred, regardless of the
timing of the related cash flows. Un-billed fees for proprietary funds are recorded as receivables at year
end. Property taxes are recorded as revenues in the year for which they are levied. Grants and similar
other contributions are recognized as revenue as soon as the eligibility requirements of the provider have
been met.
The City’s major enterprise funds are: (1) The Department of Airports, (2) Water Utility Fund,
(3) Sewer Utility Fund, (4) Stormwater Utility of Salt Lake City and (5) The Redevelopment Agency
whose purpose is described previously in the section titled “Blended Component Units”. The Water
Utility collects or purchases fresh water, then treats it, and delivers the now potable water to nearly all
residents and businesses located in the City and many residents and businesses located geographically
outside the boundaries of the City. The Department of Airports operates the Salt Lake City International
Airport, Airport II and the Tooele Valley Airport, the latter two of which are located outside the
boundaries of The City. The Sewer Utility Fund provides treatment and disposition services for waste
water. The Stormwater Utility provides treatment and disposition services for storm runoff.
In addition to the major enterprise funds, The City also operates five non-major enterprise funds
and five internal service funds. The non-major enterprise funds are the Street Lighting Utility, Housing

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

49
and Loan, Golf, and Refuse Collection. The Street Lighting Utility provides general street lighting for
residents and commercial property owners. The Housing and Loan Fund provides loans to low and
moderate-income families and individuals as well as businesses. Resources for these loans are received
from a variety of sources including federal government, state government, financial institutions and
internally generated sources. The Housing and Loan Fund also services these same loans. The Golf Fund
operates all City-owned golf courses, while the Refuse Fund provides refuse collection and recycling
services for residences and businesses of the City. Internal service funds provide services to other
departments or agencies of the City on a cost reimbursement basis. The internal service funds are Fleet
Management, Information Management, Risk Management, Governmental Immunity and the Local
Building Authority. The Fleet Management fund owns and services all vehicles of the governmental
funds and services vehicles owned by many of the enterprise funds. Information Management maintains
the infrastructure for the hard-wired telephone system, centralized computer services and the network of
personal computers. Risk Management provides centralized services for the employee benefits of health,
life, accident, dental, and long-term disability as well as unemployment, workers’ compensation and
property insurance needs. The Governmental Immunity Fund manages the City’s general liability
activities. The Local Building Authority’s purpose is discussed previously in the section titled “Blended
Component Units”.
The fiduciary fund is the Executive Deferred Compensation Fund. The City is the trustee for this
fund and manages it in accordance with provisions of the Utah State Money Management Act and the
City’s own ordinances, policies and procedures. In the past, city executives could elect to have some or
all of their deferred compensation contributed to this fund, but it is now closed to further contributions.
Proprietary funds separate operating and non-operating revenues and expenses. Operating
revenues and expenses normally arise from providing goods and services in connection with the fund’s
normal ongoing operations. The principal source of operating revenues for the proprietary funds and the
internal service funds are charges to customers for goods and services. Operating expenses include the
cost of sales and services, administrative overhead expenses and depreciation on capital assets. All other
revenues or expenses are recorded as non-operating.
Governmental fund statements use the current financial resources measurement focus and the
modified accrual basis of accounting. Under the modified accrual basis, revenues are recognized when
they become measurable and available. "Measurable" means that amounts can be reasonably determined
within the current period. "Available" means that amounts are collectible within the current period or
soon enough thereafter to be used to pay liabilities of the current period. As a practical matter, the City
uses two months as a cutoff for meeting the available criterion. Property taxes are considered
“measurable” when levied and available when collected and held by Salt Lake County (the County).
Any amounts not available are recorded as deferred inflow of resources. Franchise taxes are considered
"measurable" when collected and held by the utility company, and are recognized as revenue at that
time. Other revenues that are determined to be susceptible to accrual include grants-in-aid earned and
other intergovernmental revenues, charges for services, interest, assessments, inter-fund service charges,
permits, fines, forfeitures, parking ticket and meter fees, and sale of property. Property taxes and
assessments are recorded as receivables when levied or assessed; however, they are reported as deferred

outflow of resources until the "available" criterion has been met. Sales and use taxes collected by the
state and remitted to the City within the “available” time period are recognized as revenue. Revenues
collected in advance are recorded as advances and recognized in the period to which they apply.
Revenues that are determined to not be susceptible to accrual because they are either not
available soon enough to pay liabilities of the current period (two months) or are not objectively
measurable include licenses, contributions, and miscellaneous revenues. These revenues are recognized
when cash is received.
Expenditures are recognized in the accounting period in which the fund liability is incurred,
except for long-term obligations (debt service payments, long term compensated absences and other
post-employment benefits) and related interest which are recognized as expenditures when due.
Inventories of supplies are expended when purchased.
The City has three major governmental funds, the General Fund, the Capital Projects Fund and
the Other Improvements Debt Service Fund. The General Fund is the main operating fund. It accounts
for all financial resources of the general government, except for those required to be accounted for in
another fund. The Capital Projects Fund accounts for resources dedicated to the construction or
improvement of capital assets, which may take more than one budgetary cycle to complete. These
constructed or improved capital assets are for the benefit of any or all governmental funds. The Other
Projects Debt Service Fund accounts for all debt service activities except special improvement debt. In
addition to the listed major governmental funds, the City also has a total of eleven non-major
governmental funds: (1) the Arts Council, (2) Downtown Economic Development, (3) Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) Operating, (4) Grants Operating, (5) Street Lighting, (6) Demolition,
Weed & Forfeiture, (7) Emergency 911 Dispatch, (8) Salt Lake City Donation, (9) Transportation Fund,
(10) DEA and (11) Special Improvement Debt Service. In 2018 the State of Utah imposed a
statewide .25% sales tax to be used for transportation. The City created a new transportation special
revenue fund to collect and spend the sales tax to improve transportation within the City. The last one is
a debt service fund while the first ten are special revenue funds.
Budgets and budgetary accounting
Budgets are legally required for governmental funds. The City has a policy of budgeting for
proprietary funds. Annual budgets are prepared and adopted by the City Council on or before June 22
for the fiscal year commencing the following July 1, in accordance with Utah State law. The operating
budget includes proposed expenditures and the proposed sources of financing for such expenditures.
Prior to June 22, a public hearing is conducted to obtain taxpayer input. Budgets are adopted by
ordinance in total for each department. Expenditures cannot exceed appropriations at the department
level. For budgetary purposes, the City considers each enterprise fund to be a department. Management
can move budgeted amounts from one line item to another within a department or decrease
appropriations. The City Council can increase appropriations after holding a public hearing. During the
year ended June 30, 2024, the City Council passed several supplementary appropriations.
SALT LAKE CITY CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2024

The General Fund budget is prepared using the modified accrual basis of accounting adjusted for
encumbrances and changes in compensated absences. Encumbrance accounting is used by the City to
assure effective budgetary control and accountability, and to comply with State law. However, only the
General Fund budget is prepared under the assumption that actual expenditures will be adjusted for
encumbrances. Unencumbered General Fund appropriations lapse at year end and encumbered amounts
carry over to the subsequent year. Generally accepted accounting principles require that open
encumbrances not be reported with expenditures. However, in the General Fund budget to actual
financial statement, the actual amounts are adjusted to include encumbrances. Compensated absences
are budgeted on a cash basis. Non-cash changes in the balances of compensated absences are therefore
eliminated for budgetary purposes. Lease purchases are budgeted in the year payments are due rather
than in the year purchased.
Budgets for the Special Revenue Funds, Debt Service Funds and the Capital Projects Fund are
also prepared using the modified accrual basis of accounting and are adopted on an annual basis. The
budget for the Community Development Operating, Grants Operating (special revenue funds), and the
Capital Projects Fund are prepared annually for a specific set of projects. The Debt Service Funds'
budgets are not prepared by project. By state law only budgets in the Capital Projects Fund do not lapse
at year-end. Therefore any remaining budget in the Grants Operating Fund and the Community
Development Operating Fund are re-appropriated by Council action in the following year. State law also
requires a budget comparison for all funds for which an annual budget is adopted. In these three funds,
the Council adopts the entire amount of the project, even though the project may not be completed in the
first year. As a result, the budget comparisons on an annual basis may show large amounts of
unexpended appropriations. Budgets for the Downtown Economic Development Fund, Street Lighting
Fund, Demolition, Weed Abatement & Forfeiture Fund, Emergency 911 Fund, Salt Lake City Donations
Fund, DEA and the Transportation Fund (special revenue funds) lapse at year end. Encumbrances are
not reported as expenditures, but where necessary, are re-appropriated in the ensuing year's budget.
Budgets for the proprietary funds are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting except for
depreciation, lease amortization, and the changes in compensated absences and other post-employment
benefits, which are not budgeted. Budgets are adopted for the entire amount of estimated proceeds from
the sale of property and equipment rather than on the gain or loss from the sale as is reported in the
financial statements. Budgets are also adopted for the entire amount of any debt issued to finance multi-
year acquisition and construction projects. Budget comparisons in the proprietary funds may therefore
show large amounts of unexpended appropriations for construction projects. These unexpended amounts
are re-appropriated the following year.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Investments
The City complies with GASB Statement No. 72 Fair Value Measurement and Application. The
statement requires certain investments to be reported at fair value and the change in fair value to be
included in revenues or expenses. The City’s policy is to report all investments at fair value except for
money market investments and interest-earning investment contracts with a remaining maturity at time
of purchase of ninety days or less. These are reported at amortized cost. The City’s investment in the
SALT LAKE CITY CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2024
52
State Treasurer’s Pool has a fair value equivalent to the value of the pool shares. This pool is
administered by the State of Utah and is regulated by the Money Management Council under provisions
of the Utah State Money Management Act. In all statements, the City considers all highly liquid
investments (including restricted assets) that mature within ninety days or less when purchased to be
cash equivalents.
Inventories of supplies
Inventories of supplies are valued at cost using the first-in/first-out method and consist of
expendable supplies and merchandise. The cost of such inventories is recorded as expenditures/expenses
when used (consumption method).
Depreciable capital assets
Capital assets are valued at historical cost or estimated historical cost for assets where actual
historical cost was not available. Donated capital assets are valued at their acquisition costs. In the
event that donated capital assets are received under a service concession agreement those assets would
be recorded at acquisition value.
The City has a capitalization threshold of $100,000 for infrastructure in the public right of way
and $5,000 for all other assets. The City does not capitalize interest as part of construction in process.
Depreciation of capital assets is computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated
useful lives:
Buildings 35-60 years
Building improvements 5-40 years
Improvements other than buildings 25-35 years
Machinery and equipment, including right-to-use
assets for leased property 3-20 years
Infrastructure in public way; Roads, signals, lights
and bridges 20-50 years
Water and sewer lines 13-100 years
Construction in Progress is not depreciated until the
asset is placed into service
Right to use leased assets are recognized at the lease commencement date and represent the
City's right to use an underlying asset for the lease term. Lease assets are measured at the initial value of
the lease liability plus any payments made to the lessor before commencement of the lease term, less any
lease incentives received from the lessor at or before the commencement of the lease term, plus any
initial direct costs necessary to place the lease asset into service. Lease assets are amortized over the
shorter of the lease term or useful life of the underlying asset using the straight line method. The
amortization period varies from two to 20 years.
SALT LAKE CITY CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2024

Right to use subscription IT assets are recognized at the subscription commencement date and
represent the City's right to use the underlying IT asset for the subscription term. Right to use
subscription IT assets are measured at the initial value of the subscription liability plus any payments
made to the vendor at the commencement of the subscription term, plus any capitalizable initial
implementation costs necessary to place the subscription asset into service. Right to use subscription IT
assets are amortized over the shorter of the subscription term or useful life of the underlying asset using
the straight-line method. The amortization period varies from three to five years.
Bond Premiums and Discounts
Amortization of bond premiums or discounts are computed on the effective interest or straight-
line method over the life of the related bonds. When the straight-line method is used, it approximates the
effective interest method. Bond issue costs are expensed in the period in which the debt is incurred.
Lease Receivables
Lease receivables are recorded by the City as the present value of future lease payments expected
to be received from the lessee during the lease term, reduced by any provision for estimated
uncollectible amounts. Lease receivables are subsequently reduced over the life of the lease as cash is
received in the applicable reporting period. The present value of future lease payments to be received are
discounted based on the interest rate the City charges the lessee.
Property taxes
Ad valorem (based on value) property taxes constitute a major source of General Fund revenue.
Taxes are levied through the passage of an ordinance in June of each year. The levy is applicable to only
one year. All taxable property is required to be assessed and taxed at a uniform and equal rate on the
basis of its fair market value. The State Tax Commission is required to assess certain statutorily
specified types of property including public utilities and mining property. The county assessor is
required to assess all other taxable property, and both entities are required to assess the respective types
of property as of January 1, the assessment date. The County is then required to complete the tax rolls by
May 15. By July 21, the county treasurer is to mail assessed value and tax notices to property owners.
Then a taxpayer may petition the county board of equalization between August 1 and August 15 for a
revision of the assessed value. Approved changes in assessed value are made by the county auditor by
November 1 and on this same date the auditor is to deliver the completed assessment rolls to the county
treasurer. Tax notices are mailed with a due date of November 30, and delinquent taxes are subject to a
penalty. Unless the delinquent taxes and penalties are paid before January 15, a lien is attached to the
property, and the amount of taxes and penalties bear interest from January 1 until paid. If after five years
delinquent taxes have not been paid, the County sells the property at a tax sale. Tax collections are
remitted to the City from the County on a monthly basis.

GASB Statement No. 33, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Nonexchange Transactions,
defines a non-exchange transaction as one in which “a government either gives value to another party
without directly receiving equal value in exchange or receives value from another party without directly
giving equal value in exchange.” For property taxes, at January 1 of each year (the assessment date), the
City has the legal right to collect the taxes, and in accordance with the provisions of the statement, has
recorded a receivable and a corresponding deferred inflow of resources for the assessed amount of those
property taxes as of January 1, 2024.
Interfund transactions
In the normal course of its operations, the City has various transactions between funds. Various
City funds provide a number of services such as administrative, fleet maintenance, and information
processing to certain other City funds. Charges are treated as revenues in the fund providing the service
and as operating expenses in the fund receiving the service (see note 11). Transfers are recognized as
transfers in and out, respectively, by the funds receiving and providing the transfer. Short-term payables
are shown as due to/from other funds. Long-term payables are shown as advances to/from other funds.
Long-term liabilities
Long-term liabilities that will be financed from governmental funds are accounted for in the
governmental activities portion of the government-wide statements, while those of proprietary funds are
accounted for in their respective fund. Lease liabilities represent the City's obligation to make lease
payments arising from the lease. Lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based
on the present value of future lease payments expected to be made during the lease term. The present
value of lease payments are discounted based on a borrowing rate determined by the City.
Subscription liabilities
Subscription liabilities represent the City's obligation to make subscription payments arising
from the subscription contract. Subscription liabilities are recognized at the subscription commencement
date based on the present value of future subscription payments expected to be made during the
subscription term. The present value of subscription payments are discounted based on a borrowing rate
determined by the City.
Pensions
The City complies with GASB Statement 68, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pensions
which measures the net pension liability, deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of
resources related to pensions, and pension expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the
Utah Retirement Systems Pension Plan (URS). Additions to/deductions from the URS’s fiduciary net
position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by URS. For this purpose, benefit
payments (including refunds of employee contributions) are recognized when due and payable in
accordance with the benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value.
SALT LAKE CITY CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources
In addition to assets, the statements of financial position will sometimes report a separate section
for deferred outflows of resources. This separate financial element, deferred outflows of resources,
represents a consumption of net assets that applies to future periods and so will not be recognized as an
outflow of resources (expenditure/expense) until then. The business type fund statements and
government wide statements of net position report deferred outflow on the refunding of debt,
unrecognized items not yet charged to pension expense and contributions from the employer after the
measurement date but before the end of the employer's reporting period.
In addition to liabilities, the statement of financial position will sometimes report a separate
section for deferred inflow of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred inflows of
resources, represent an acquisition of net assets that applies to future periods and so will not be
recognized as an inflow of resources (revenues) until that time. The government has items which qualify
for reporting in this category. The governmental funds report unavailable revenue from property taxes
and unavailable grant revenue. The government wide statement of net position reports unavailable
revenue from property taxes and unearned annuity interest. These amounts are deferred and recognized
as an inflow of resources in the period that the amounts become available. The government wide
statement of net position also includes the unamortized portion of the net difference between projected
and actual earnings on pension plan investments and other unrecognized items not yet charged to
pension expense. The City also has deferred inflows related to leases where the City is the lessor and is
reported in the statement of net position. The deferred inflows of resources related to leases are
recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) on the straight line method over the term of the lease.
Fund Balance
When both restricted and non-restricted fund balance is available for expenditure appropriation,
the City’s policy is to use restricted fund balance first. When committed, assigned or unassigned fund
balance is available to use for expenditure appropriation, the City’s policy is to use committed first,
assigned second and then unassigned fund balance.
Fund balance commitments would be made by the City’s legislative body, the City Council by
ordinance in formal action in a public meeting. Fund balance assignments are made possible by the City
Council by legally approving budgets in the governmental funds. For the General Fund, any year-end
outstanding encumbrance that has been created by a City official with signatory authority and is within
the budget constraints set by the Council is an assignment of fund balance. For other governmental funds
any fund balance that is not restricted is assigned to the same purpose as it was originally appropriated
by the City Council.

Net Position
The City’s net position is classified as follows: (1) Net investment in capital assets consists of the
total investment in capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation and reduced by the outstanding debt
obligations related to those assets. To the extent debt has been incurred, but not yet expended for capital
assets, such amounts are not included as a component of net investment in capital assets; (2) Restricted
for capital projects are amounts that are restricted by debt covenants to be expended for capital assets;
(3) Restricted for debt service consists of that portion of net position that is restricted by debt covenants
for debt service; (4) Unrestricted net position consists of everything else that does not meet the criteria
above.
Land and buildings held for resale
The cost of land and buildings held for resale in the Housing and Loan Fund and Redevelopment
Agency (enterprise funds) are capitalized until the related property is subsequently sold. Land and
buildings held for resale are carried at the lower of cost, market, or committed sales price. Costs of
buildings and improvements that management determines are not recoverable are expensed. Gains and
losses on dispositions of land and buildings held for resale are included in the operating statement.
Use of Estimates in Preparing Financial Statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America requires the management of the City to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities. Estimate use also requires the
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these
estimates.
Total columns
The total columns shown on the accompanying fund financial statements are mathematical totals
only and do not eliminate inter-fund transactions or include other entries required to present
consolidated financial statements. The government-wide financial statements do, however, eliminate
most inter-fund transactions and the double counting of revenues and expenses. They are therefore much
closer to the consolidated financial statements presented in private sector accounting.
2. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Investments
The City maintains a cash pool and an investment pool that are available for use by all funds.
Each fund type's portion of these pools is included in the combined balance sheet as "Cash and cash
equivalents" and "Investments". Also included are investments separately held by several of the City's
funds.

It is the policy of Salt Lake City Corporation to invest public funds in accordance with the
principles of sound treasury management and in compliance with state and local laws, regulations, and
other policies governing the investment of public funds, specifically, according to the terms and
conditions of the Utah State Money Management Act of 1974 and Rules of the State Money
Management Council as currently amended (the “Act”), and the City’s own written investment policy.
Public treasurers may use investment advisers to conduct investment transactions on behalf of
public treasurers as permitted by statue, Rules of the Money Management Council and local ordinance
or policy. Investment advisers must be certified by the Director of the Utah State Division of Securities
of the Department of Commerce (the “Director”) and meet the requirements of the Utah Money
Management Act (Rule 15 of the State Money Management Council). Broker/dealers and agents who
desire to become certified dealers must be certified by the Director and meet the requirements of the
Utah Money Management Act (Rule 16 of the State Money Management Council). Only Qualified
Depositories as certified by Utah’s Commissioner of Financial Institutions are eligible to receive and
hold deposits of public funds (Rule 12 of the State Money Management Council). The Utah Money
Management Council issues a quarterly list of certified investment advisers, certified dealers, and
qualified depositories authorized by state statute to conduct transactions with public treasurers.
Transactions involving authorized deposits or investments of public funds may be conducted only
through issuers of securities authorized by Section 51-7-11(3), qualified depositories included in the
current state list and certified dealers included in the current state list. All securities purchased through a
certified investment adviser or certified dealer are required to be delivered to the custody of the City
Treasurer or to the City’s safekeeping bank or trust company.
The City may place public money in investments/deposits authorized by the Money Management
Act (U.C.A. 51-7-11). The Treasurer shall ensure that all purchases and sales of securities are settled
within 15 days of the trade date for outstanding issues, and 30 days on new issues. In general these
investments can be any of the following subject to restrictions specified in the Act: (1) Obligations of the
U.S. Treasury and most Government-Sponsored Agencies; (2) Commercial paper that is classified as
“first tier” by two nationally recognized statistical rating organizations, one of which must be Moody’s
Investors Service or Standard & Poor’s; (3) Bankers’ Acceptances; (4) Publicly traded fixed rate
corporate obligations rated “A” or higher, or the equivalent of “A” or higher, by two nationally
recognized statistical rating organizations; (5) Certain variable rate securities and deposits with the same
rating requirements as the fixed rate corporate obligations; (6) Utah State Public Treasurer’s Investment
Pool; (7) Certain fixed rate negotiable deposits with a qualified depository or through a certified dealer;
(8) Qualifying repurchase agreements.
The City did not enter into any reverse repurchase agreements during the year ended June 30, 2024.
City policy provides that not more than 25% of total City funds or 25% of the qualified
depository's allotment, whichever is less, can be invested in any one qualified depository. Not more than
20% of total City funds may be invested in any one certified out-of-state depository institution.
However, there shall be no limitation placed on the amount invested with the Public Treasurers’

Investment Fund (State Treasurer’s Pool) and other money market mutual funds, provided that the
overall standards of investments achieve the City’s policy objectives.
The City's deposits are insured up to $250,000 per account by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation. Deposits above the $250,000 per account are exposed to custodial credit risk. Custodial
credit risk for deposits is the risk that in the event of a bank failure, the City’s deposits may not be
recovered. The bank balance of the Primary Government’s deposits totaled $27,531,093. Of this amount,
$961,323 was insured and the remaining $26,569,770 was uninsured and uncollateralized. The bank
balance of the Library component unit totaled $3,361,061. Of this amount, $250,000 was insured and the
remaining $3,111,061 was uninsured and uncollateralized. The City has no formal policy regarding
deposit credit risk.
Investments - The City Treasurer may take physical delivery of securities or may use a qualified
depository bank for safekeeping securities. An account with a money center bank may be maintained for
the purpose of settling investment transactions, safekeeping and collecting those investments. A
safekeeping receipt issued by a qualified depository supports repurchase agreements with qualified
depositories; otherwise, the securities are held in the custody of the City Treasurer or the City's
safekeeping bank or trust company. Online access to accounts and monthly statements support
investments in the State Treasurer’s Pool. All funds pledged or otherwise dedicated to the payment of
interest and principal of bonds issued by the City are invested in accordance with the terms and
borrowing instruments applicable to such bonds. City policy also provides that the remaining term to
maturity of an investment may not exceed the period of availability of the funds invested. The
investment of City funds cannot be of a speculative nature.
Custodial credit risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of a failure of the counter party,
the City will not be able to recover the value of the investment or collateral securities that are in the
possession of an outside party. Of the total $1,843,135,426 invested by the City, $25,915,626 was
exposed to custodial credit risk. The entire amount exposed was held in the City’s name by the
counterparty.
Investment interest rate risk is the risk that changes in interest rates of debt investments will
adversely affect the fair value of an investment. The City currently has no policy regarding investment
interest rate risk. The table below shows the maturities of the City’s investments.

Investment credit risk is the risk that an issuer or other counterparty to an investment will not fulfill its
obligations. Salt Lake City’s policy is to follow the previously described Utah Money Management Act to reduce
exposure to investment credit risk.
The Library Component unit has funds invested in the Utah State Treasurer's pool.
The city measures and records its investment using fair value measurement guidelines established by
generally accepted accounting principles. These guidelines recognize a three tiered fair value hierarchy, as
follows:
Level 1: Quoted prices for identical investment in active markets.
Level 2: Observable inputs other than quoted market prices.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs
The securities classified as Level 1 are valued as stated above. Money markets funds classified as level 2
use published fair value per share (unit) for each share and State Treasurer's Pool funds use the application of the
June 30, 2024 fair value as calculated by the Utah State Treasurer, to the City's average daily balance in the Fund.
The City currently has no assets that qualify for Level 3 investments. The following table illustrates the

investment in a single issuer. Salt Lake City’s policy is to follow the Rules of the Money Management
Council. Rule 17 of the Money Management Council limits investments in a single issuer of commercial
paper and corporate obligations to between 5% and 10% depending upon the total dollar amount held in
the portfolio. The City had no debt securities investments as of June 30, 2024 with more than 5% of total
investments.
Included in both deposits and investments are cash equivalents with an original maturity of
ninety days or less. For statement of cash flows and balance sheet purposes, only those items with
maturities of ninety days or less when purchased are considered cash and cash equivalents.
3. Loans Receivable
The Housing and Loan Fund (an enterprise fund) provides loans to residents for improvements in
existing housing within designated project areas. It also provides mortgage loans to residents within the
same designated project areas. Some loans are payable in monthly installments, others are due on sale or
transfer of ownership of the related property, and other loan payments are deferred. These loans have
interest rates ranging from 0% to 7% and are collateralized by property or a letter of credit. Housing
loans receivable as of June 30, 2024 were $26,977,565, net of $353,000 estimated as uncollectible.
The Redevelopment Agency (RDA - an enterprise fund) provides housing loans to homeowners
and construction loans to contractors within designated areas of the City. These loans total $83,308,204
at June 30, 2024, are payable in monthly installments, bear interest from 0% to 7.0% and are
collateralized by property, letters of credit or restricted cash accounts.
During the second half of FY 2020, construction of the new SLC airport was ongoing and the
airlines and concessionaires began their buildouts in the new buildings. When the COVID-19 pandemic
hit, many of the tenants were unable to continue funding their buildouts. In order to have the airlines and
a certain amount of concessions open and operating when the Terminal Redevelopment Project and the
North Concourse Program were completed, the Airport loaned funds to tenants to complete the
buildouts. The Airport continued to loan funds through December 2020. These funds will be repaid by
the end of FY 2025 with the exception on one loan going through FY 2034.
4. Restricted Assets
The bond resolutions require all bond proceeds and revenue earned on bond proceeds to be
restricted to the payment of bond construction projects specified within the resolutions, the payment of
bond principal and interest, and the renewal and replacement of specified property and equipment.
Certain Water Utility certificates of deposit are also restricted for consumer deposits and for
contributions for reservoir and supply line construction.

Compensation Liabilities (Compensated Absences)
Vacation leave, compensatory leave, and the portion of sick leave that will eventually be paid are
recognized as liabilities as they are earned. In the event of termination or retirement, an employee is
reimbursed for unused accumulated vacation. Employees participating in Plan A are reimbursed for 25
percent of unused accumulated sick leave upon retirement, or 50 percent if the funds remain with the
city to be used for retiree health insurance premium, while those employees participating in Plan B are
reimbursed for 50 percent of the earned balance of personal leave upon separation or retirement. Upon
retirement any unused severance account balance is reimbursed at 100 percent. The liability for
accumulated compensated absences at June 30, 2024 is reported in the individual funds except for the
long term portion relating to the governmental funds, which is recorded in the Governmental Activities
column of the Government-wide Statements. Compensated absence liabilities in the enterprise and
internal service funds have traditionally been liquidated by the specific enterprise or internal service
fund to which the employee’s salary is charged. Compensated absences are reported in the governmental
funds for unpaid balances of reimbursable unused leave for employees that terminated during the current
fiscal year. For governmental funds, any compensated absence liability has typically been liquidated by
the General Fund.

Bank Notes
The City directly borrows funds from multiple banks and financing companies to purchase
equipment for city use. They are listed by bank or agency below:
The City has an equipment financing contract with JPMorgan Chase. Equipment such as police
vehicles, fire trucks, and other primary government purpose equipment are eligible to be financed under
this contract. The City enters into several financing contracts a year with terms less than seven years.
The interest rate is fixed and is determined separately for each contract. The initial amount available for
financing was $35,000,000 and extends five years ending July 10, 2026. Each financing agreement
reduces the amount available regardless of whether the final payment has been paid. As of June 30,
2024, $29,692,897 was still available for equipment purchase financing. Most of the agreements have
been for fleet and refuse equipment but there is one agreement for fire apparatus.
Public Services has four financing contracts with Siemens Public Inc. to purchase upgraded
energy efficient equipment. Two contracts are for city parks, one is for Steiner Aquatics Center
equipment and one is for golf courses. In July 2010 $832,588 was borrowed at 4.213 percent with
final payment occurring in 2026. In January 2013, $6,315,796 was borrowed at 2.45 percent with the
final payment occurring in 2029. These were both used in the parks division to improve efficiency in
water usage and irrigation in city parks. A third agreement borrowed $3,470,79 in July 2013 at 2.95
percent maturing in 2030 and used for energy efficient equipment for Steiner Aquatics. The County
contributes half of the debt service to the City as both entities agreed to share the cost of the Aquatic

7. Leases
Lessor Agreements - Airport
The Airport, as a lessor, recognizes a lease receivable and a deferred inflow of resources at the
commencement of the lease term, with certain exceptions for leases of assets held as investments, certain
regulated leases, short-term leases, and leases that transfer ownership of the underlying asset. As lessor,
the asset underlying the lease is not derecognized. The lease receivable is measured at the present value
of the minimum lease payments expected to be received during the lease term. The deferred inflow of
resources should be measured at the value of the lease receivable in addition to any payments received at
or before the commencement of the lease term that relate to future periods.
For the purposes of the GASB No. 87 implementation, Airport Leases have been categorized as follows:
1. GASB No. 87 Leases - Included

GASB No. 87 - Included Leases
In accordance with GASB No. 87, the Airport recognizes a lease receivable and a deferred
inflow of resources for leases the Airport categorizes as GASB No. 87 - Included. The Airport has
grouped these leases into three categories: Concession Leases, Rental Car Leases, and Other Property
Leases. Concession leases are leases for retail and food and beverage tenants at the Airport. Rental Car
Leases are rental car agencies located at the Airport. Other Property Leases contain various leases for
property and space located around the Airport. For the year ended June 30, 2024, the Airport reported
lease revenue of $43,051,124 and interest revenue of $5,081,337 related to lease payments received.

As of June 30, 2024, the lease receivable is $45,203,870 and $118,057,309 for current and non-
current assets, respectively.
Concession Leases
The new Airport terminal and Concourse A opened in September 2020 and Concourse B opened
in October 2020. At this time, all existing concession contracts were cancelled and new contracts went
into effect. The Airport has 26 food and beverage locations managed by 6 operators and 33 retail
locations managed by 5 operators. All food and beverage contracts are for ten years and retail contracts
are for eight years. There are no options to extend. Each contract has a minimum annual guarantee
(MAG) and a variable component (percentage of gross revenues). The tenant pays the higher amount of
the MAG or variable amount. MAGs were set in each contract and increase to 90% of the prior year’s
rent, but cannot decrease. Based on these terms, the minimum payment will always be the initial MAG.
The lease receivable is calculated using minimum payments due each year over the course of contract.
The variable component is not used to calculate the lease receivable.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all MAG payments were suspended and only the percentage
rent was required. The suspension of MAG’s was held until enplaned passengers reached a rate of 90%
of FY 2019 recorded enplaned passengers for three consecutive months. This was an agreement with
tenants and the Airport and occurred in June, July, and August 2021. Payments of MAGs were reinstated
in September 2021. Also due to the pandemic, the contract termination dates for all tenants were moved
to expire at the end of eight or ten years from the time the MAG payments were reinstated. All retail
contracts from Phase I expire on August 31, 2029, and all food and beverage contracts from Phase I
expire on August 31, 2031.

During FY 2024, the Airport finished Phase II, which opened 22 additional gates on Concourse
A. This new space added 7 retail locations and 12 food and beverage locations. The new retail contracts
expire on October 31, 2031, and the food and beverage contracts expire on October 31, 2033. For the
new contracts, a MAG was not established at the beginning of the lease, but will be determined after
approximately 2 years, so no lease receivable was recorded at the inception of the lease. The new
contracts do contain a portion for support space and this resulted in an addition to the lease receivable of
$1,586,872 in FY 2024.
For the year ended June 30, 2024, the lease receivable was reduced, and interest recognized of
$10,507,429 and $1,981,445, respectively. The deferred inflow was also reduced by $10,507,429. The
lease receivable was discounted to the net present value using the 30-year bond buyer index rate on the
date of lease commencement or implementation date of the standard. The Airport uses the 30-year bond
buyer index rate in its Airline Use Agreement to record the return on investment on the unamortized
portion of capitalized assets received from the signatory airlines. This applies to all assets with any
useful life. The Airport considered this rate to be the most appropriate for leases of Airport property to
match the return received from the airlines.
For the year ended June 30, 2024, the Airport received $17,993,975 of revenue from the variable
component on top of the lease payments.
Future minimum lease payments are as follows:
Principal Interest
2025 $ 10,941,290 $ 1,748,066
2026 10,863,814 1,467,953

$ 73,043,947 $ 6,725,728
Rental Car Leases
As part of construction of the new airport, new rental car facilities were built. In March 2016, the
Airport entered into a new ten year agreement with seven rental car agencies. Each agreement includes
the rental of counter and office space, parking stalls, quick turnaround (QTA) space, QTA common
space, QTA storage space, and remote service site space. All contracts expire on February 28, 2026, and
there are no options to extend. Each contract has a MAG and a variable component (10% of gross
revenues), in addition to the space rentals. The tenant pays the higher amount of the MAG or variable
amount. MAGs were set in each contract and increase a minimum of 3% each year. The lease receivable
is calculated using the contractual amounts for the space rental and minimum payments due for
percentage rent each year over the course of contract. The variable component is not used to calculate
the lease receivable.

8. Subscription Assets
During FY 2023, the City implemented GASB Statement No. 96 – Subscription-Based IT
Arrangements. The City recognizes a right-to-use asset (subscription asset) at the commencement of the
subscription term, with certain exceptions for short-term contracts. The subscription asset is measured as
the sum of the following: (a) the amount of the initial measurement of the subscription liability, (b)
payment associated with the contract made to the vendor at the commencement of the subscription term,
and (c) capitalizable initial implementation costs.
The City recognizes a subscription asset at the commencement of the subscription term, with
certain exceptions for short-term contracts. The subscription asset is measured as the initial
measurement of the subscription liability plus the capitalizable initial implementation costs. A
subscription asset should be amortized in a systematic and rational manner over the shorter of the
subscription term or the useful life of the underlying IT Asset and the City uses the straight-line method
of amortization. For the year ended June 30, 2024, the City did not add any subscription assets and
recognized amortization expense of $1,585,718. On June 30, 2024, the net subscription asset was
$8,027,201.

The Airport subscription liability was discounted to the net present value using the 30-year bond
buyer index rate on July 1, 2022 (implementation date) of 3.82%. The Airport uses the 30-year bond
buyer index rate in its Airline Use Agreement to record the return on investment on the unamortized
portion of capitalized assets received from the signatory airlines. This applies to all assets with any
useful life. The Airport considered this rate to be the most appropriate for subscription-based contracts.
The other rate available to the Airport is our borrowing rate on bond issuances. Using that rate would
yield an immaterial difference from the bond buyer index rate.

10. Fund Equity
Non-spendable amounts represent the portion of fund balance that is not in a spendable form or
are contractually required to remain unspent. Receivables and prepaid items are classified as non-
spendable.
Restricted amounts represent that portion of fund balance or net position that is legally restricted
for the payment of debt service, operations and maintenance, renewal and replacement of property and
equipment. Debt service and funds restricted by state or federal agencies are included in this category.
The largest are impact fees and class C funds which are regulated by the state. Encumbrances, for
homeless services, housing, transit and other social services, are used in the General Fund and are
included in this category and reflect ongoing contractual obligations that we consider to be legally
restricted for operations across all general fund departments.
Committed amounts represent the portion of fund balance that can only be used for specific
purposes that requires specific action by the highest decision making authority. The City Council is the
highest decision making authority and approves all budgets and uses of fund balances by ordinance in
official meetings designated to perform such duties.
Assigned amounts represent the portion of fund balance that are intended to be used for a
specific purpose but are not restricted or committed.
Unassigned amounts represent residual balances in the General Fund.

2024. The principal reason for transfers is to provide the receiving fund resources to carry out the
activities for which the receiving fund was created. The more significant examples are transfers from the
General Fund to the Capital Projects Fund, to Fleet Management for the purchase of governmental fund
vehicles, Other Improvement Fund for Debt Service and to Governmental Immunity to pay general
liability claims. Also, Redevelopment Agency to Debt Service Funds provide resources to make
scheduled principal and interest payments. The table on the following page show the detail of transfers.

14. Pension Plans
Identification - The City participates in one cost sharing multiple employer public employee
retirement system (PERS) and one multiple-employer agent PERS. These are defined benefit retirement
plans covering public employees of the State of Utah and employees of participating local governmental
entities. The systems are administered under the direction of the Utah State Retirement Board whose
members are appointed by the governor of Utah.
Plan description: Eligible plan participants are provided with pensions through the Utah
Retirement Systems. The Utah Retirement Systems are comprised of the following pension trust funds:
• Public Employees Noncontributory Retirement System (Noncontributory System); Public
Employees Contributory Retirement System (Contributory System); Firefighters Retirement
System (Firefighters System); are multiple employer, cost-sharing, retirement systems.
• The Public Safety Employee Retirement System (Public Safety System) is a mixed agent and
cost-sharing, multiple-employer public employee retirement system.
• Tier 2 Public Employees Contributory Retirement System (Tier 2 Public Employees System);
and the Tier 2 Public Safety and Firefighter Contributory Retirement System (Tier 2 Public

Safety and Firefighters System) are multiple employer cost sharing public employees retirement
systems.
The Tier 2 Public Employees System became effective July 1, 2011. All eligible employees
beginning on or after July 1, 2011 who have no previous service credit with any of the Utah Retirement
Systems, are member of the Tier 2 Retirement System.
The Utah Retirement Systems (Systems) are established and governed by the respective sections
of Title 49 of the Utah Code Annotated 1953, as amended. The Systems' defined benefit plans are
amended statutorily by the State Legislature. The Utah State Retirement Office Act in Title 49 provides
for the administration of the Systems under the direction of the Board, whose members are appointed by
the Governor. The Systems are fiduciary funds defined as pension (and other employee benefit) trust
funds. URS is a component unit of the State of Utah. Title 49 of the Utah Code grants the authority to
establish and amend the benefit terms. URS issues a publicly available financial report that can be
obtained by writing Utah Retirement Systems, 560 E. 200 S, Salt Lake City, Utah 84102 or visiting the
website: www.urs.org.
The liability for pension-related debt in the governmental activities is primarily liquidated by the
general fund with a minimal portion liquidated by the internal service funds (Fleet Management,
Information Management Services, Risk Management, and Governmental Immunity.)
Contributions made after the net pension liability measurement date of December 31, 2023, are
recognized in the current fiscal year through an accrual rather than in the subsequent fiscal period.

Actuarial assumptions: The total pension liability in the December 31, 2023 actuarial valuation
was determined using the following actuarial assumptions, applied to all periods included in the
measurement:
Inflation 2.50 Percent
Salary increases 3.50 - 9.50 percent, average, including inflation
Investment rate of return 6.85 percent, net of pension plan investment expenses,
including inflation.
Mortality rates were adopted from an actuarial experience study dated January 1, 2023. The
retired mortality tables are developed using URS retiree experience and are based upon gender,
occupation, and age as appropriate with projected improvement using the ultimate rates from the
MP-2020 improvement scale using a base year of 2020. The mortality assumption for active members is
the PUB-2010 Employees Mortality Table for public employees, teachers, and public safety members,
respectively.
The actuarial assumptions used in the January 1, 2023, valuation were based on the results of an
actuarial experience study for the period ending December 31, 2022.
The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a
building-block method, in which best-estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return (expected
returns, net of pension plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class
and is applied consistently to each defined benefit pension plan. These ranges are combined to produce
the longterm expected rate of return by weighting the expected future real rates of return by the target
asset allocation percentage and by adding expected inflation. The target allocation and best estimates of
arithmetic real rates of return for each major asset class are summarized in the following table:

The 6.85% assumed investment rate of return is comprised of an inflation rate of 2.50%, and a
real return of 4.35% that is net of investment expense.
Discount rate: The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 6.85%. The
projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that employee contributions will be
made at the current contribution rate and that contributions from all participating employers will be
made a contractually required rates that are actuarially determined and certified by the URS Board.
Based on those assumptions, the pension plan’s fiduciary net position was projected to be available to
make all projected future benefits payments of current active and inactive employees. Therefore, the
long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was applied to all periods of projected
benefit payments to determine the total pension liability. The discount rate does not use the Municipal
Bond Index Rate.
Sensitivity of the proportionate share of the net pension asset and liability to changes in the
discount rate: The following presents the proportionate share of the net pension liability/(asset)
calculated using the discount rate of 6.85%, as well as what the proportionate share of the net pension
liability would be if it were calculated using a discount rate that is 1-percentage-point lower (5.85%) or

16. Other Post-employment Benefits
Plan Description
The Library provides post-employment health care benefits through a single employer defined
benefit plan. The benefits are provided through the Library to certain employees who have retired from
the System prior to July 1, 2018. The benefits, benefit levels, employee and employer contributions are
governed by Library policy and can be amended or terminated at any time. The Library determines
whether these benefits will be funded during the annual budget process. The plan is not accounted for as
a trust fund since an irrevocable trust has not been established to account for the plan. The plan does not
issue a separate report. The activity of the plan is reported in the Library’s general fund.
Funding Policy
The Library currently pays for post-employment benefits on a “pay-as-you-go” basis.
Actuarial Assumptions
The total OPEB liability was determined using the following actuarial assumptions, applied to all
periods included in the measurement, unless otherwise specified.
Measurement Date June 30, 2024
Actuarial Valuation Date June 30, 2024
Discount Rate 3.97 %
Prior year discount rate 3.86 %
The discount rate was based on the June 30, 2024, Fidelity General Obligation AA 20-Year Yield.

Sewer Utility totaled $186,442,299, of the Stormwater Utility totaled $5,849,584, and of the Street
Lighting Utility totaled $16,414.
Federal Stimulus Grant Funds- In 2021 and 2022 the City received over $105 million of
federal grant money under the CARES Act, the American Rescue Plan Act and the Emergency Rent
Assistance Plan to help combat the effects of the COVID 19 pandemic. This resulted in large cash
deposits. The corresponding expenditures were not complete as of June 30, 2024 which resulted in
presenting the unspent portion as Revenues collected in advance on the current financial statements. A
majority of the funds have been expended. It is anticipated that the remainder of the expenditures will
occur during the next fiscal year.
Water Right Purchase - In 2009, the City purchased water rights connected to Big Cottonwood
Canyon stream flows from one of its water exchange customers called Big Cottonwood Tanner Ditch
Irrigation Company in the amount of $22,764,010. Under this new agreement the City will continue to
provide culinary water to the customers of the Big Cottonwood Tanner Ditch Irrigation Company and
will provide them with water vouchers which will entitle them to a set amount of water at no charge in
return for their ownership in the water rights to the canyon stream. The City also agreed to upgrade the
water system to meet current water system standards and to take ownership of the system. The financial
statements show the increase in water rights and the value of the system purchased. Revenue collected in
advance includes the value of the water vouchers issued in the amount of $5,934,543 long term and
$1,022,595 in current liabilities.
Litigation- The Utilities are involved in legal proceedings, primarily related to property
damages and personal injury arising in the ordinary course of business. Based on the facts currently
available, management accrued liabilities totaling $1,431,353, which is the estimated amount of
litigation probable to have a negative outcome. Of this potential liability $1,222,568 is Water Fund
related, $203,785 is Sewer Fund related, and $5,000 is Stormwater fund related.
Of the $1,222,568 related to the Water Fund, $250,000 is related to a potential future
environmental remediation of soils contaminated with lead as a result of shooting range activities
operated by the Police Mutual Aid Association on property owned by the Water Fund. Multiple parties
could be responsible. The current estimated loss could vary depending on future decisions related to the
possible remediation, regulatory requirements, and cost-sharing by other responsible parties, if any. The
Utilities are currently investigating the extent of lead contamination and potential remediation
alternatives.
There are various claims pending against the Airport from third parties. In the opinion of legal
counsel for the Airport and Airport management, these are not likely to have a material adverse impact
on the Airport's financial statements.
Environmental Remediation- The Utilities are participating in two environmental remediation
sites.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Utilities is the owner of many acres of property in Parley’s Canyon that are held for
watershed purposes. Located within this area was an active shooting range that was operated by the
Police Mutual Aid Association (“PMAA”) for the past 50 years. PMAA recently decided to stop
operating the shooting range and control of the property has been turned back to the Utilities. An
environmental assessment has been started to determine the extent of lead present at the site. The extent
and manner of clean-up of the lead is not yet known, but it is anticipated that impacted soils will be
stabilized and removed for proper disposal. There are multiple potentially responsible parties who
operated and used the shooting range who may be required to share in the cost of the ultimate clean-up
of the site. Currently, the estimate of professional fees and basic efforts to clean-up the site is
$1,500,000. The clean-up costs are anticipated to be divided between the Water Enterprise Fund and Salt
Lake City’s General Fund, with the General Fund paying approximately 85% of the cost. This estimate
could change depending on future decisions related to the clean-up along with the value of contributions
toward the clean-up received from third parties. Salt Lake City is entering into a Voluntary Cleanup
Program through the Utah Department of Environmental Quality to conduct the remediation.
In 2003 the Utilities began an environmental remediation process on the Sewer’s Northwest Oil
Drain (NWOD) Canal under a US Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) administrative order and
with a cost-sharing agreement between the Utilities, British Petroleum (BP), and Chevron. The two oil
companies contribute 2/3 of the project costs of the remediation, and the Utilities contribute 1/3.
Over the life of the process, as of June 30, 2024 the oil companies have contributed
approximately $21.8 million; the Utilities have capitalized as construction in progress a total of
$33,624,080 in remediation costs. The Utilities estimate that the remaining remediation activities will
generate about $33,500 in contributions from the oil companies, will cost about $50,000, and will
continue through fiscal year 2025. The Utilities have budgeted accordingly.
Airport- At June 30, 2024, the Airport was committed to contractors and vendors for
approximately $795.4 million in conjunction with Airport construction programs.
In the normal course of operations, the City receives grant funds from various Federal Agencies.
The grant programs are subject to audit by agents of the granting authority, the purpose of which is to
ensure compliance with conditions precedent to the granting of funds. Any liability for reimbursement
that may arise as the result of audits of grant funds is not believed to be material.
RDA- As an Agency of the City, the RDA routinely enters into Taxing Entity Contracts (TEC)
and Tax Increment Reimbursement contracts (TIR). The Agency has no taxing authority, therefore
enters into TEC agreements to receive Tax Increment as revenue. For the Agency, Tax Increment is
deemed contributed revenues from the various taxing authorities participating in the various Project
Area TEC agreements. The Tax Increment received from the City is delineated in the Agency Financial
Statements as Transfers in from the City. Tax Increment revenue from all other taxing entities is
included non-operating revenues with Grants and Other Contributions.

To induce the private sector to participate in the redevelopment of the Project Area, the RDA
will often enter into TIR agreements which reimburse the private developer actual costs over a stated
period of time. These agreements return tax increment revenues annually to the developers. Currently,
the Agency is party to the following TIR agreements.
During the year ended June 30, 2013, the City issued $15,000,000 of Bond Anticipation Notes
(BANS) to begin construction on the Eccles Theater. These bonds were issued in expectation of the
issuance of the Tax Increment Bonds (as discussed in Note 7) and the Sales Tax Revenue Bonds issued
by the City (as discussed below). The City received the proceeds of the BANS and paid design and pre-
construction costs.
During the year ended June 30, 2014, the City issued Series 2013A Sales Tax Revenue Bonds in
the amount of $51,270,000 to aid in financing the construction of the Eccles Theater. With the proceeds
of these bonds, the City paid off the BANS and the remaining net proceeds of $34,349,587 were
transferred to the Agency as a contribution from the City. Bond issuance costs and accrued interest of
$1,920,413 were recognized by the Agency as expense. In addition, upon issuance of the bonds, the
Agency used private donations of $2,596,649 and contributed $1,104,957 of its own funds into an
escrow account for capitalized interest on the bonds. In December 2019, the City completely refunded
the Series 2013A bonds by issuing Series 2019 taxable sales and excise tax revenue refunding bonds in
the amount of $58,540,000, saving the Agency over $11,000,000 in principal and interest payments. As
of June 30, 2024, anticipated cumulative payments remaining under the agreement were $74,861,522.
Anticipated payments are included in the table below.
The Agency will remit principal and interest payments semi-annually to the City per the debt
service schedules as a contribution to the City (expense). Total anticipated payments are as follows.

As discussed previously, proceeds from the Series 2013 Agency bonds and Series 2013A City
bonds provided financing for the construction of the Eccles Theater on Block 70 within the Central
Business District (CBD). The remaining non-refunded portion of the Agency's Series 2013 bonds were
paid in fiscal year 2023. The Series 2019 taxable tax increment revenue refunding bonds issued by the
Agency mature in 2031. The Series 2019 taxable sales and excise tax revenue refunding bonds (advance
refunding of Series 2013A) issued by the City are payable through fiscal year 2038. The annual debt
service will be funded by the incremental property taxes generated from the CBD Project area, Block 70

Community Development Area (CDA) and private donations. Annual principal and interest payments on
the bonds associated with the Theater are expected to require approximately 30% of tax increment
revenues generated from CBD and Block 70, beginning in fiscal year 2016. As of June 30, 2023, the
total principal and interest remaining to be paid on all bonds for the Eccles Theater project was
$124,179,688.
The Agency has pledged future tax increment revenues to repay the remaining Series 2019 Tax
Increment and Series 2019A Sales Tax Revenue Refunding bonds. Through inter-local agreements
entered into with the City and Salt Lake County (the County), CBD tax increment revenue that would
have been remitted to these agencies has been pledged to the Agency through tax year 2040. In
December 2011, the Agency entered into an agreement with the City in which the Agency will retain a
portion of the City's Taxing Entity Committee (TEC) allocation, in order to pay principal and interest on
the Theater bond obligations. Each year, beginning in tax year 2015 through 2040, the City will continue
to receive from the Agency a dollar amount equal to the 2014 TEC allocation. The original inter-local
agreement specified that the Agency will retain 80% of the remaining TEC allocation. This inter-local
agreement was subsequently amended in May 2013 to provide that the Agency will retain up to 100% of
the remaining TEC allocation, as is necessary to fund debt service payments. The Agency is required to
reimburse the City for any portion of this additional TEC allocation that is utilized for debt service on
the Eccles Theater, with the balance accruing interest at the City's general fund rate. The Agency is
required to commit CBD tax increment in an amount equal to the City allocation under these
agreements. Similarly, in October 2012, the Agency entered into an interlocal agreement with the
County wherein the Agency is entitled to retain the County's portion of the CBD tax increment up to a
maximum of $43,000,000. The County will continue to receive from the Agency a dollar amount equal
to the 2014 TEC allocation each year beginning in tax year 2015 through 2040, and the Agency will
retain the remaining TEC allocation to fund debt service on the Eccles Theater project. During the fiscal
year ended June 30, 2024, the Agency transferred $8,739,132 in CBD incremental tax revenue to Block
70 for Eccles debt service per the agreements, and transferred an additional $2,171,617 in available
CBD tax increment revenue. In addition, the Agency entered into an inter-local agreement with the City
and the Salt Lake City School District (SLCSD) wherein the Agency is entitled to receive the City's and
SLCSD's portions of the tax increment from the Block 70 CDA for twenty-five years, beginning in the
tax year 2016, for the purpose of funding debt service on the Eccles Theater. The tax increment funds
are not limited to funding debt service, but will also be used to fund the creation of a cultural core and
for debt service on the Regent Street improvement bonds. In addition, in September 2012, the Agency
entered into an agreement with the County wherein the Agency is entitled to receive the County’s
portion of the Tax Increment from the Block 70 CDA for 25 years, beginning in tax year 2016, up to a
maximum of $7,000,000 for the purposes of funding debt service on the Eccles Theater. During the year
ended June 30, 2024, the Agency received an additional $1,493,794 in incremental property taxes under
these agreements. The Agency expended $8,237,153 to cover the principal and interest payments due
during the year.
During the year ended June 30, 2010, the Agency entered into a reimbursement agreement with
222 S. Main Investments, LLC, a developer of a project within the Agency’s Central Business District
Project Area. Under this agreement, the Agency is obligated to repay to the developers 85% of the tax

increment revenues received by the Agency from the respective project up to the lesser of: 1) total
developer costs less $127,300,000 or 2) $6,000,000, plus accrued interest of 5.9%, over the
reimbursement term, which expires in January 2031. These obligations are also subject to the developers
paying property taxes on a timely basis, the receipt of certificates of project completion, and annual
certificates of compliance with the other terms of the reimbursement agreement. For the year ended
June 30, 2024, the Agency recorded expenses of $543,672.
During the year ended June 30, 2017, the Agency and Larry H. Miller Arena Corporation (the
"Lessee"), entered into a Participation and Reimbursement Agreement for the renovation of the Delta
Center Arena at 301 West South Temple, as part of the Central Business District Neighborhood
Redevelopment Project Area Plan. This agreement outlines the Agency's commitment to partially
reimburse the Lessee for public area upgrades through tax increment financing, with a cap of
$15,946,396 for Tax Increment (TI) Reimbursement Payments and $6,753,604 for Grant
Reimbursement Payments, ensuring the total reimbursement does not exceed $22,700,000. The
Reimbursement Term will expire December 31, 2040, with annual payments contingent on the Lessee's
compliance with specific conditions, including project completion, property tax payments, and
maintaining the Arena as the home venue for Utah Jazz NBA games. The Agency retains the right to
issue bonds secured by the tax increment, with the understanding that this will not absolve it of its
obligations under this agreement. The Agency's financial commitment, encompassing both TI and Grant
Reimbursement Payments, is firmly capped, and any shortfall in tax increment generation will not
extend the Agency's obligations beyond the agreed term. For the year ended June 30, 2024, the Agency
recorded expenses of $670,906, which consisted of $363,924 of TI Reimbursement Payments and
$306,982 of Grant Reimbursement Payments.
During the year ended June 30, 2019, the Agency entered into a reimbursement agreement with
Stadler US, Inc, a developer of a project located within the Agency’s Stadler Rail Project Area. Under
the agreement, the Agency is obligated to reimburse the developers, from the tax increment revenues

18. Related Party Transactions
To meet the water supply needs of Salt Lake City and Sandy through the year 2035, the
Metropolitan Water District Board, a related entity, completed a new treatment plant. The new treatment
plant is located at the Point of the Mountain in Draper City and includes a conveyance pipeline
connecting the new plant to the District’s Little Cottonwood Water Treatment Plant. The cost of the
treatment plant and conveyance system totaled over $300 million, and the Utilities’ share of the cost is
over $200 million. The 70 million gallon per day plant is funded by an assessment paid by the two cities.
Salt Lake City has 62.5 percent of the capacity and cost assessment in the new treatment plant. Below
are the future minimum payments due from the Water Utility through 2035:

19. Joint Venture
The City is a member of a joint venture known as the City/County landfill in which the City and
Salt Lake County (through its Municipal Affairs Fund and the remainder of the County) each have fifty
percent interest. The joint venture was created to provide solid waste management and disposal services.
The City’s equity in the net resources of the landfill at June 30, 2024, was $25,205,863. This equity
interest is shown in the City’s Refuse Collection Fund (an enterprise fund).
The inter-local cooperation agreement created the joint venture and established the Salt Lake
Valley Solid Waste Management Council (the Council). The Council consists of five members: the
County’s Mayor, or a designee; the City's Mayor, or a designee; one elected official, or a designee
designated by the Salt Lake County Council of Governments, who is not an official or an employee of
the County or the City but whose municipality is served by the Facility; one member of the Salt Lake
Valley Board of Health or the Director of Health as designated by such Board, or a designee; and one
member with technical expertise in the field of solid waste management, said expert member to be
selected by the council members who represent the City, the County, and the Salt Lake Valley Board of
Health. The Council’s responsibilities are to recommend: (1) appointment or removal of Director; (2)
plan, establish and approve all construction projects for solid waste operations; and (3) determine best
use of facility; (4) establish public policy for all major operations or activities; (5) prepare an annual
operating budget that includes expenditures and the means of financing them.
All actions by the Council are recommendations to the City Council and the County
Commission, which have equal power to review, ratify, modify, or veto any action submitted by the
Council.
The Council has developed a master plan designed to comply with environmental standards
established by the federal government and to meet accounting and financial reporting requirements
under GASB Statement No. 18, Accounting for Municipal Solid Waste Landfill Closure and Post-
closure Care Costs. In compliance with this standard, the Council has established user fees sufficient to
cover all operating costs, including post-closure costs that have been mandated by the federal
government. The estimated liability for closure and post closure care was established under the
requirement set by the State of Utah’s Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) and is based on an
engineering study completed during November 2016. The estimate totals $10,930,635 at Salt Lake
County’s fiscal year end and is based on 33.3% of capacity currently filled. The Landfill will recognize
the remaining estimated cost of closure and post-closure care of approximately $29,793,857 as the
remaining capacity is filled. The total capacity was revised in 2016 to reflect increased allowable height,
slope and new technology. The landfill is expected to be filled to capacity in the year 2082. The
expenses in 2023 were $983,708. Actual ongoing costs may differ due to inflation, changes in
technology, or change in regulations.
In November 1996, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued final regulations
regarding financial assurance provisions for local government owners and operators of municipal solid
waste landfills. The regulations allow compliance with financial assurance requirements by meeting a
SALT LAKE CITY CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

financial test or by alternate methods. The financial test method is available only to local governments
who can demonstrate that they are capable of meeting their financial obligations relating to their landfills
and is sometimes referred to as “self-insurance.” The alternate methods generally involve third-party
financial instruments such as trust funds, letters of credit, or insurance policies. The financial assurance
requirement is the estimated total current costs of closure and post-closure care of $40,724,492 at
December 31, 2023. Although the County and Salt Lake City satisfy the financial test coverage and the
financial assurance requirement (therefore, an alternate method is not necessary), the Landfill has set
aside resources to finance the estimated liability for landfill closure and postclosure costs; at December
31, 2023 the Landfill has set aside $10,930,635 of its pooled cash and investments.The owners are
required to submit documentation of financial assurance to the Utah Department of Environmental
Quality demonstrating that they meet the financial test at the close of each fiscal year. In the event the
owners no longer meet the requirements of the financial test, they shall, within 210 days following the
close of their fiscal years, obtain alternative financial assurance for total current costs of landfill closure
and post-closure care that exceed 43% of the owners’ total annual revenue.
For the year ended June 30, 2024, the City paid the landfill approximately $1,968,631 in user
fees. Separately audited financial statements for the City/County landfill may be obtained from the
Executive Director or Fiscal Manager, Salt Lake Valley Solid Waste Management Facility, 6030 West
California Avenue, Salt Lake City, Utah 84104.
The City has 50% ownership interest in the Sugarhouse House Park Authority. Salt Lake County
owns the remaining 50% interest. The Sugar House Park Authority, created in 1957, maintains and
improves the land known as Sugarhouse Park which includes 116 acres of land with a historical cost of
$112,500. The City’s investment in the Sugar House Park Authority as of December 31, 2023 totaled
$1,125,273, which has been included in governmental activity investment in joint ventures in the
government-wide statement of net position. Of the total investment, $639,752 is related to capital assets.
The Sugar House Park Authority is governed by a Board of Trustees consisting of nine members.
The City and the County each appoint one member. The other seven members are appointed jointly by
the City and County Trustees. The City provides water to the park for a fee and the county is contracted
to provide maintenance services and provide for daily management, operation and maintenance of the
park. Separately audited statements may be obtained from the Sugar House Park Authority, 6332 S.
Airport Road, West Jordan, Utah, 84084.
20. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Newly Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2022, the GASB issued Statement No. 100 Accounting Changes and Errors – An
Amendment of GASB Statement No. 62. The primary objective of this Statement is to enhance
accounting and financial reporting requirements for accounting changes and error corrections to provide
more understandable, reliable, relevant, consistent, and comparable information for making decisions or
assessing accountability. The requirements of this statement are effective for reporting periods beginning
SALT LAKE CITY CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2024
126
after June 15, 2023. Earlier application is encouraged. The adoption of this accounting standard will not
have a significant impact on the City’s financial statements.
In June 2022, the GASB issued Statement No. 101. This Statement requires that liabilities for
compensated absences be recognized for (1) leave that has not been used and (2) leave that has been
used but not yet paid in cash or settled through noncash means. A liability should be recognized for
leave that has not been used if (a) the leave is attributable to services already rendered, (b) the leave
accumulates, and (c) the leave is more likely than not to be used for time off or otherwise paid in cash or
settled through noncash means. Leave is attributable to services already rendered when an employee has
performed the services required to earn the leave. Leave that accumulates is carried forward from the
reporting period in which it is earned to a future reporting period during which it may be used for time
off or otherwise paid or settled. In estimating the leave that is more likely than not to be used or
otherwise paid or settled, a government should consider relevant factors such as employment policies
related to compensated absences and historical information about the use or payment of compensated
absences. However, leave that is more likely than not to be settled through conversion to defined benefit
post-employment benefits should not be included in a liability for compensated absences. The
requirements of this Statement will take effect for financial statements starting with the fiscal year that
ends December 31, 2024. The City is currently evaluating the impact this statement will have in future
years.
In December 2023, the GASB issued Statement No. 102 Certain Risk Disclosures. The objective
of this Statement is to provide users of government financial statements with essential information about
risks related to a government’s vulnerabilities due to certain concentrations or constraints. This
Statement requires a government to assess whether a concentration or constraint makes the primary
government reporting unit or other reporting units that report a liability for revenue debt vulnerable to
the risk of a substantial impact. The requirements of this statement are effective for reporting periods
beginning after June 15, 2024. Earlier application is encouraged. The City is currently evaluating the
impact of this statement on the financial statements when implemented.
In July 2023, the GASB issued Implementation Guide No. 2023-01 which contains new
questions and answers that address application of GASB standards on leases, subscription-based
information technology arrangements, and accounting changes. The guide also includes amendments to
previously issued implementation guidance on leases.
21. Subsequent Events
The following events occurred subsequent to June 30, 2024:
During the 2024 general legislative session, the Utah legislature passed the Capital City
Revitalization Zone Act to be used for the benefit of revitalization projects within a designated project
area at and around Delta Center. Under the Act, the City may impose a 0.5% Sales and Use Tax in Salt
Lake City that is a party to one or more professional sports franchise agreement(s) and that will play
their home games in an arena downtown. On July 9, 2024 the Salt Lake City Council endorsed the

Participation Agreement and Project Area and on September 17, 2024, the Revitalization Zone
Committee approved the Agreement and the City began collecting the tax in January 2025.
As of November 19, 2024 the city council passed a resolution for the Utilities to issue up to
$225,000,000 in revenue bonds. The bonds will have a maturity of 31 years or less and a rate of no more
than 6 percent. The Utilities plan to issue $100,000,000 in revenue bonds that will be related to the
Water Utility and $99,000,000 in revenue bonds that will be related to the Sewer Utility to fund
treatment plant improvements. All Utilities’ revenues will be pledged as collateral for the bonds. The
Utilities anticipate the bond closing in early February 2025.
In September 2024, the Airport entered into a short-term revolving credit facility in which the
Airport can access up to $300 million (line of credit) secured by one or more notes, which notes
constitute subordinate obligations under the Subordinate Obligation Trust Indenture.

1. Budgetary-GAAP Reporting Reconciliation
The City Council can amend the budget to any extent, provided the budgeted expenditures do not
exceed revenues and appropriated fund balance. During the year ended June 30, 2024, General Fund
appropriations increased by a net $54,779,725. The first increase was for encumbrances totaling
$20,147,898. The third budget amendment increased funding for deeply affordable housing to address
immediate and long-term homeless needs by $6 million. The fourth budget amendment totaled
$7,584,328 and included requests for five new positions. It also included $750,000 for fire station
gender equity, $2,539,019 for police patrol response, $500,000 for the tennis court reconstruction and
$800,000 for substation improvements and various smaller projects. The fifth and sixth budget
amendment increased general fund budgets by $5,940,349 and $12,219,731 respectively. These
amounts included funding increases for repairs to City Hall for earthquake damages, improvements to
the City physical security, repairs to the Steiner building roof, and ARPA revenue replacement. Other
smaller budget amendments made up the difference.
The Schedules of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balance - Budget and Actual
include comparisons of the legally adopted budget (more fully described in Note 1 of the Notes to the
Financial Statements) with actual data on a budgetary basis for the General Fund and proprietary funds
that have a budgetary basis that differs from GAAP. Accounting principles applied for purposes of
developing data on a budgetary basis differ from those used to present financial statements in conformity
with GAAP. The difference in expenditures between GAAP and budgetary basis for the General Fund is
reconciled in the following table.

2. Post-employment Benefits other than pensions:
No assets are accumulated in a trust that meets the criteria in paragraph four of GASB Statement
75. The plan is not accounted for as a trust fund since an irrevocable trust has not been established to
account for the plan. The plan does not issue a separate report. The activity of the plan is reported in the
Library’s general fund.
3. Pension changes in Assumptions:
Changes include updates to the mortality improvement assumption, salary increase assumption,
disability incidence assumption, assumed retirement rates, and assumed termination rates, as
recommended with the January 1, 2023 actuarial experience study.

(1) Centrally Assessed Values are included in Real Property Values.
(2) All taxable property is assessed and taxed on the basis of its fair market value. Utah law requires that the fair market value of property that is assessed by county assessors using a comparable sales or a
cost appraisal method exclude expenses related to property sales transactions. For tax purposes, the fair market value of primary property is reduced by 45% under present law. Does not include Fee-in-lieu.

Independent Auditor’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting and on
Compliance and Other Matters Based on an Audit of Financial Statements Performed in
Accordance with Government Auditing Standards
The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
Salt Lake City Corporation
Salt Lake City, Utah
We have audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards
issued by the Comptroller General of the United States (Government auditing Standards), the financial
statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, the aggregate discretely
presented component units, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of Salt
Lake City Corporation, as of and for the year ended June 30, 2024, and the related notes to the financial
statements, which collectively comprise Salt Lake City Corporation’s basic financial statements and have
issued our report thereon dated February 10, 2025.
Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered Salt Lake City
Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting (internal control) as a basis for designing audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the
financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of Salt Lake
City Corporation’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of
Salt Lake City Corporation’s internal control.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow
management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or
detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a
combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material
misstatement of the Salt Lake City Corporation’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected
and corrected, on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies,
in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention
by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this
section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material
weaknesses or significant deficiencies and therefore, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may
exist that have not been identified. We identified certain deficiencies in internal control, described in
the accompanying Schedule of Findings and Questioned costs as items 2024-001 and 2024-002 that we
consider to be material weaknesses.
2
Report on Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether Salt Lake City Corporation’s financial
statements are free from material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain
provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have
a direct and material effect on the financial statements. However, providing an opinion on compliance
with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an
opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are
required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.
Salt Lake City Corporation’s Response to Findings
Government Auditing Standards requires the auditor to perform limited procedures on Salt Lake City
Corporation’s responses to the findings identified in our audit and described in the accompanying
Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs. Salt Lake City Corporation’s responses were not subjected to
the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and, accordingly, we express no
opinion on them.
Purpose of this Report
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and
compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the Salt
Lake City Corporation’s internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit
performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the Salt Lake City
Corporation’s internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any
other purpose.

Independent Auditor’s Report on Compliance and Report on Internal Control over
Compliance as Required by the State Compliance Audit Guide
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
Salt Lake City Corporation
Salt Lake City, Utah
Report on Compliance with State Requirements
Qualified and Unmodified Opinions
We have audited Salt Lake City Corporation’s compliance with the following applicable state compliance
requirements described in the State Compliance Audit Guide, issued by the Office of the State Auditor,
for the year ended June 30, 2024.
Budgetary Compliance
Fund Balance
Justice Court
Restricted Taxes and Other Related Restricted Revenue
Fraud Risk Assessment
Government Fees
Cash Management
Enterprise Fund Transfers, Reimbursements, Loans, and Services
Tax Levy Revenue Recognition
Qualified Opinion on Cash Management
In our opinion, except for the noncompliance described in the Basis for Qualified and Unmodified
Opinions section of our report, Salt Lake City Corporation complied, in all material respects, with the
state compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on Salt
Lake City Corporation’s compliance with the applicable regulations and statutes for the year ended June
30, 2024.
Unmodified Opinion on Each of the Other State Compliance Requirements
In our opinion, Salt Lake City Corporation complied, in all material respects, with the types of
compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on Salt Lake City
Corporation’s compliance with applicable regulations and statutes for the year ended June 30, 2024.
Basis for Qualified and Unmodified Opinions
We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the
United States of America (GAAS); the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government
Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States (Government Auditing
4
Standards); and the audit requirements outlined in the State Compliance Audit Guide (Guide), issued by
the Office of the State Auditor. Our responsibilities under those standards and the Guide are further
described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance section of our report. We are
required to be independent of Salt Lake City Corporation and to meet our other ethical responsibilities,
in accordance with relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit
evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion on
compliance for the requirements identified above. Our audit does not provide a legal determination of
Salt Lake City Corporation's compliance with the compliance requirements referred to above.
Matter Giving Rise to Qualified Opinion on Cash Management
As described in the accompanying Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs as item 2024-003, Salt
Lake City Corporation did not comply with the requirements regarding Cash Management.
Compliance with such requirements is necessary, in our opinion, for Salt Lake City Corporation to comply
with the requirements applicable to Cash Management.
Responsibilities of Management for Compliance
Management is responsible for compliance with the requirements referred to above and for the
design, implementation, and maintenance of effective internal control over compliance with the
requirements of laws, statutes, regulations, rules, and provisions of contracts or grant agreements
applicable to Salt Lake City Corporation’s government programs.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether material noncompliance with the
compliance requirements referred to above occurred, whether due to fraud or error, and express an
opinion on Salt Lake City Corporation's compliance based on our audit. Reasonable assurance is a high
level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit
conducted in accordance with GAAS, Government Auditing Standards, and the Guide will always
detect material noncompliance when it exists. The risk of not detecting material noncompliance
resulting from fraud is higher than for that resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion,
forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Noncompliance
with the compliance requirements referred to above is considered material if there is a substantial
likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, it would influence the judgment made by a
reasonable user of the report on compliance about Salt Lake City Corporation's compliance with the
requirements of the government program as a whole.
In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, Government Auditing Standards, and the Guide, we:
• Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
• Identify and assess the risks of material noncompliance, whether due to fraud or error, and
design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include
examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding Salt Lake City Corporation’s compliance with
the compliance requirements referred to above and performing such other procedures as we
considered necessary in the circumstances.
5
• Obtain an understanding of the Salt Lake City Corporation’s internal control over compliance
relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances and to test and report on internal control over compliance in accordance with
the State Compliance Audit Guide but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of Salt Lake City’s internal control over compliance. Accordingly, no such
opinion is expressed.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other
matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and any significant deficiencies and material
weaknesses in internal control over compliance that we identified during the audit.
Other Matters
The results of our auditing procedures disclosed other instances of noncompliance, which are
required to be reported in accordance with the Guide and which are described in the accompanying
Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs as item 2024-004. Our opinion on each compliance
requirement referred to above is not modified with respect to these matters.
Government Auditing Standards require the auditor to perform limited procedures on the Salt Lake
City Corporation’s response to the noncompliance findings identified in our audit described in the
accompanying Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs. Salt Lake City Corporation’s response was
not subjected to the other auditing procedures applied in the audit of compliance and, accordingly,
we express no opinion on the response.
Report On Internal Control over Compliance
Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance section above and was not designed to identify all
deficiencies in internal control over compliance that might be material weaknesses or significant
deficiencies in internal control over compliance and therefore, material weaknesses or significant
deficiencies may exist that were not identified. However, as discussed below, we did identify certain
deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we consider to be a material weakness.
A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control over
compliance does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their
assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, noncompliance with a type of compliance
requirement of a federal program on a timely basis. A material weakness in internal control over
compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance, such
that there is a reasonable possibility that material noncompliance with a type of compliance
requirement of a federal program will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis.
We consider the deficiencies in internal control over compliance described in the accompanying
schedule of findings and questioned costs as items 2024-003 and 2024-004 to be material weaknesses.
Government Auditing Standards requires the auditor to perform limited procedures on the Salt Lake
City Corporation’s response to the noncompliance findings identified in our compliance audit
described in the accompanying schedule of findings. Salt Lake City Corporation’s response was not
subjected to the other auditing procedures applied in the audit of compliance and, accordingly, we
express no opinion on the response.
6
The purpose of this report on internal control over compliance is solely to describe the scope of our
testing of internal control and compliance and the results of that testing based on the requirements
of the Guide. Accordingly, this report is not suitable for any other purpose.

Independent Auditor’s Report on Compliance for Each Major Federal Program;
Report on Internal Control Over Compliance; and Report on the Schedule of Expenditures
of Federal Awards Required by the Uniform Guidance
The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
Salt Lake City Corporation
Salt Lake City, Utah
Report on Compliance for Each Major Federal Program
Opinion on Each Major Federal Program
We have audited Salt Lake City Corporation’s compliance with the types of compliance requirements
subject to audit in the OMB Compliance Supplement that could have a direct and material effect on each
of Salt Lake City Corporation’s major federal programs for the year ended June 30, 2024. Salt Lake City
Corporation’s major federal programs are identified in the summary of auditor’s results section of the
accompanying Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs.
In our opinion, Salt Lake City Corporation complied, in all material respects, with the compliance
requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on each of its major federal
programs for the year ended June 30, 2024.
Basis for Opinion on Each Major Federal Program
We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the
United States of America (GAAS); the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government
Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States (Government Auditing
Standards); and the audit requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform
Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform
Guidance). Our responsibilities under those standards and the Uniform Guidance are further described
in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance section of our report.
We are required to be independent of Salt Lake City Corporation and to meet our other ethical
responsibilities, in accordance with relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that
the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion on
compliance for each major federal program. Our audit does not provide a legal determination of Salt
Lake City Corporation’s compliance with the compliance requirements referred to above.
Responsibilities of Management for Compliance
Management is responsible for compliance with the requirements referred to above and for the design,
implementation, and maintenance of effective internal control over compliance with the requirements
of laws, statutes, regulations, rules and provisions of contracts or grant agreements applicable to Salt
Lake City Corporation‘s federal programs.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether material noncompliance with the
compliance requirements referred to above occurred, whether due to fraud or error, and express an
opinion on Salt Lake City Corporation’s compliance based on our audit. Reasonable assurance is a high
level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit
conducted in accordance with GAAS, Government Auditing Standards, and the Uniform Guidance will
always detect material noncompliance when it exists. The risk of not detecting material noncompliance
resulting from fraud is higher than for that resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery,
intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Noncompliance with the
compliance requirements referred to above is considered material, if there is a substantial likelihood
that, individually or in the aggregate, it would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user of the
report on compliance about Salt Lake City Corporation’s compliance with the requirements of each
major federal program as a whole.
In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, Government Auditing Standards, and the Uniform
Guidance, we:
• Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
• Identify and assess the risks of material noncompliance, whether due to fraud or error, and
design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include
examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding Salt Lake City Corporation’s compliance with the
compliance requirements referred to above and performing such other procedures as we
considered necessary in the circumstances.
• Obtain an understanding of Salt Lake City Corporation’s internal control over compliance
relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances and to test and report on internal control over compliance in accordance with the
Uniform Guidance, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of Salt
Lake City Corporation’s internal control over compliance. Accordingly, no such opinion is
expressed.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters,
the planned scope and timing of the audit and any significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in
internal control over compliance that we identified during the audit.
Report on Internal Control over Compliance
A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control over
compliance does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their
assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, noncompliance with a type of compliance
requirement of a federal program on a timely basis. A material weakness in internal control over
compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance, such
that there is a reasonable possibility that material noncompliance with a type of compliance
requirement of a federal program will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. A
significant deficiency in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies,
in internal control over compliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program that is
less severe than a material weakness in internal control over compliance, yet important enough to merit
attention by those charged with governance.
9
Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance section above and was not designed to identify all
deficiencies in internal control over compliance that might be material weaknesses or significant
deficiencies in internal control over compliance. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not
identify any deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we consider to be material
weaknesses, as defined above. However, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in internal
control over compliance may exist that were not identified.
Our audit was not designed for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal
control over compliance. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
The purpose of this report on internal control over compliance is solely to describe the scope of our
testing of internal control over compliance and the results of that testing based on the requirements of
the Uniform Guidance. Accordingly, this report is not suitable for any other purpose.
Report on Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards Required by the Uniform Guidance
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities,
the aggregately discretely presented component units, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining
fund information of Salt Lake City Corporation as of and for the year ended June 30, 2024, and the
related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise Salt Lake City Corporation’s basic
financial statements. We issued our report thereon dated February 10, 2025, which contained
unmodified opinions on those financial statements. Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming
opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the basic financial statements. The
accompanying Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards is presented for purposes of additional
analysis as required by the Uniform Guidance and is not a required part of the basic financial
statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates
directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements.
The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial
statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information
directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements
or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with
GAAS. In our opinion, the schedule of expenditures of federal awards is fairly stated in all material
respects in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.

Notes to Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards
Year Ended June 30, 2024
Note 1 – Basis of Presentation
The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards (the schedule) includes the federal award activity
of Salt Lake City Corporation under programs of the federal government for the year ended June 30, 2024. The
information is presented in accordance with the requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part
200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform
Guidance). Because the schedule presents only a selected portion of the operations of Salt Lake City
Corporation, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net position or fund
balance, or cash flows of Salt Lake City Corporation.
Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Expenditures reported in the schedule are reported on the modified accrual basis of accounting, except for
subrecipient expenditures, which are recorded on the cash basis. When applicable, such expenditures are
recognized following the cost principles contained in the Uniform Guidance, wherein certain types of
expenditures are not allowable or are limited as to reimbursement.
Note 3 – Indirect Cost Rate
Salt Lake City Corporation has not elected to use the 10% de minimis cost rate.
Note 4 – Loan Programs
Expenditures reported under the Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation program in the schedule consist
of the beginning of the year outstanding loan balance plus advances made on the loan during the year. The
outstanding balance at June 30, 2024 was $13,112,999.

Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs
Year Ended June 30, 2024
Section II – Financial Statement Findings
2024-001 Account Reconciliation
Material Weakness in Internal Control
Criteria: Salt Lake City Corporation and its management are responsible for the design,
implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair
presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, whether due to fraud or
error.
Condition: During the audit we identified multiple account types which were not reconciled in a
timely manner and had the possibility of being materially misstated within the financial
statements. The materially affected account types include cash, investments, capital assets, and
revenues. Additionally, audit adjustments were proposed that impacted accrued compensation,
compensation expense, investments, investment income, notes receivable, charges and services
expenses, and grants revenue.
Cause: Multiple schedules supporting financial statement balances contained errors leading to
inaccurate financial reporting. These issues were not reconciled or reviewed by an appropriate
individual prior to the initial financial close or during the financial statement preparation
process. The reconciliation process was significantly delayed in the current year due to a change
in the Salt Lake City Corporation’s financial reporting system, causing the need for new or
modified reconciliation procedures.
Effect: If the audit adjustments had not been made, or additional reconciliation procedures were
not performed, the financial statements could have material misstatements.
Recommendation: We recommend that management review the process and timing of
reconciliation of year end items and continue to improve account reconciliation and review as
the Salt Lake City Corporation’s employees become more familiar with the new accounting
software.
Views of Responsible Officials:
2024-002 Preparation of the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards
Material Weakness in Internal Control Over Preparation of the Schedule of Expenditures of
Federal Awards
Criteria: Title 2 Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements,
Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance) requires the City
to prepare a Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) that includes all of the federal
awards expended during the year.
17
Salt Lake City Corporation
Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs
Year Ended June 30, 2024
Condition: The original SEFA provided to the auditors for major program determination was
incorrect for two programs. The Community Development Block Grant awards were originally
reported on the cash-basis of accounting on the SEFA. Additionally, the SEFA did not include the
loan received under the WIFIA program.
Cause: The City’s internal controls related to preparation of the SEFA did not result in proper
recording of the two programs.
Effect: The original SEFA provided a balance for CDBG that was materially different from the
correct amount. When this was corrected, the CDBG program was determined to be a Type A
programs, and CDBG was required to be tested as a major program. The major program
determination would have been incorrect.
Recommendation: We recommend that the City enhance internal controls to ensure all program
expenditures are appropriately reported on the SEFA.
Views of Responsible Officials: Management agrees with the finding.
Section III – State of Utah Compliance Findings
2024-003 Cash Management
Material Instance of Noncompliance with State Compliance Requirements
Criteria: Under UCA 51-7-15(3) the City is required to file the Deposit and Investment Report
with the Money Management Council on or before January 31 or July 31 each year. The report
should contain information about information about the deposits and investments of Salt Lake
City Corporation during the preceding six months and should include all deposit and investment
accounts held by Salt Lake City Corporation.
Condition: The year-end report did not contain all required deposit and investment accounts,
contained duplicate amounts, and was materially incorrect. The report was also filed after the
due date on August 1, 2024.
Cause: The City’s internal controls related to preparation of the report did not result in proper
recording of all deposit and investment accounts.
Effect: The City was not in compliance with UCA 51-7-15(3) in relation to accurate and timely
filing of the Deposit and Investment Report.
Recommendation: We recommend that the City review its processes for producing accurate and
timely Deposit and Investment Reports.
Views of Responsible Officials: Management agrees with the finding.

2024-004 Budgetary Compliance
Material Instance of Noncompliance with State Compliance Requirements
Criteria: Under UCA 10-6-147 and UCA 10-6-148, the City is required to prepare quarterly
financial reports that are reviewed by the governing body.
Condition: No quarterly reports were produced by Salt Lake City Corp during the fiscal year
ended June 30, 2024.
Cause: The City’s process for producing the quarterly reports was hindered by the transition in
accounting software during the year.
Effect: The City was not in compliance with UCA 10-6-147 and UCA 10-6-148 in relation to
producing quarterly financial reports.
Recommendation: We recommend that the City review its processes for timely producing of the
quarterly financial reports.
Views of Responsible Officials: Management agrees with the finding.

The City’s Parental Leave policy has been updated to include two distinct leave opportunities;
Recovery Leave and Bonding Leave. Each form of leave is designed to meet specific needs of
an eligible employee. In addition to new leave options, SDI (Short-term Disability Insurance) will
no longer be required as part of the parental leave process. Consideration was given to the
impact and benefit for both the employee and the employer in the final policy changes.
Key points of the new policy:
•What previously was known as parental leave is now Recovery Leave and is made
available only to a birthing parent who may take up to six (6) consecutive weeks and
begins at the birth of their child.
•(New) Bonding Leave may now be taken on an intermittent basis. Coordination with an
employee’s department will be needed to ensure operational needs are met. Bonding
Leave is addressed in hours because of the new way in which it may be utilized.
o A birthing parent may take an additional 240 hours (336 hours for Fire
Operations employees) of Bonding Leave per rolling 12-month period in addition
to Recovery Leave.
o Non-birthing parents (including employees who become parents through legal
adoption, court-ordered foster care or court-ordered guardianship) may take up
to 240 hours (336 for Fire Operations employees) of Bonding Leave per rolling
12-month period.
•(New) Bonding leave may be taken any time but must be completed by the first
anniversary of the child’s birth or date of placement in the employee’s home.
•The effective date of the new policy will be July 7, 2024.
Considerations:
•The new extended leave for a birthing parent allows a longer period to recover and bond
with a child and is competitive with other organizations. Because only a birthing parent is
eligible for the full 12 weeks of leave, the financial impact on departments will be
minimal. Financial impact is further mitigated by the ability to use the benefit on an
intermittent basis.
•The ability to take Bonding Leave on an intermittent basis for both a birthing parent and
a non-birthing parent, introduces flexibility and convenience. Birthing parents expressed
a desire to return to work part-time which is now possible. Additionally, both birthing and
non-birthing parents are now able to use flexible hours however best meets their needs.
•Bonding Leave does not need to be taken immediately upon a child’s birth or placement
in an employee’s home. This allows greater flexibility and individuality in how and when
an employee uses their leave.
•(Retroactive benefit) a birthing parent who gave birth after July 7, 2024, will be allowed
to utilize six (6) weeks of Bonding Leave. Bonding Leave will not be retroactively
provided to non-birthing parents since the allowed leave time is the same, has already
been used, and cannot be altered to accommodate an intermittent schedule.
•A birthing and/or non-birthing Parent currently out on Parental Leave can contact the
Benefit’s Department to discuss options.
I.Parental Leave
There are two forms of Parental Leave: Recovery Leave, which is available only for a parent
who has physically given birth to a child (i.e. a birthing parent), and Bonding Leave, which is
available for both birthing parents and non-birthing parents.
Like vacation or personal leave, Parental Leave only provides base wage income replacement
for the duration of the leave period. The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), and not
Parental Leave, provides job protection on behalf of the employee for the duration of the leave
period. If an employee does not qualify for FMLA, they may request job protection by applying
for a leave of absence from their department director.
Eligibility:
To be eligible for Parental Leave an employee must:
a. Be a full-time employee and eligible to enroll in the City’s health benefit program; and
b. Become a parent through birth, legal adoption, court-ordered foster care placement or court-
ordered guardianship.
The following conditions apply to the use of Parental Leave:
a. Parental Leave begins on the date of the child’s birth; or, in the case of legal adoption, court-
ordered foster care placement or court-ordered guardianship, the date the child is placed in the
employee’s home.
b. Parental Leave may be taken during an employee’s probationary period. The employee’s
probationary period will be extended by an amount of time equal to the Parental Leave taken.
c. Parental Leave will run concurrently (at the same time) with FMLA leave. An employee on
parental leave is not required to utilize Short-Term Disability (SDI) concurrently with Parental
Leave.
d. FMLA requires 30-days advance notice for foreseeable events, including the birth or
placement of a child. Employees seeking Parental Leave are required to inform the HR leave
team of the need for Parental Leave and provide applicable documentation and paperwork.
Parental Leave for a birthing parent:
a. A birthing parent may take up to six (6) consecutive weeks of Recovery Leave for physical
recovery. Recovery Leave begins on the date of the child’s birth and must be taken continuously
(all at once). A return to work, regardless of the time spent on Recovery Leave or the time
spent back at work, will end the Recovery Leave.
b. A birthing parent may take an additional 240 hours (336 hours for Fire Operations
employees) of Bonding Leave per rolling 12-month period to bond with, and care for, the child.
Bonding Leave may be taken on an intermittent basis but is subject to department approval to
balance operational needs.
c. Birthing parents may utilize both Recovery Leave and Bonding Leave.
d. Bonding Leave may be taken at any time but must be completed by the first anniversary of
the child’s birth.
Parental Leave for a non-birthing parent:
a. A non-birthing parent may take up to 240 hours (336 hours for Fire Operations employees) of
Bonding Leave per rolling 12-month period to bond with, and care for, the child. Bonding Leave
may be taken on an intermittent basis but is subject to department approval to balance
operational needs.
b. Bonding Leave may be taken at any time but must be completed by the first anniversary of
the child’s birth.
Parental Leave for employees who become parents through legal adoption, court-
ordered foster care or court-ordered guardianship:
a. The non-birthing parent may take up to 240 hours (336 hours for Fire Operations employees)
of Bonding Leave per rolling 12-month period to bond with, and care for, the child. Bonding
Leave may be taken on an intermittent basis but is subject to department approval to balance
department operational needs.
b. Bonding Leave may be taken at any time but must be completed by the first anniversary of
the date the child is placed in the employee’s home.
