as Ranked Choice Voting (RCV) without a Primary election. Under ranked choice voting,
voters rank the candidates in order of preference. Election equipment counts the
preference numbers for each ballot. If none of the candidates receive more than 50% of
the overall vote after the first round, the candidate with the least number of votes is
eliminated. The voters who had selected the eliminated candidate as their first choice
would then have their votes counted for their second-choice candidate. This process of
elimination continues until a candidate crosses the 50% threshold and is declared the
winner.

GRANT DETAILS:
In 2021, the Utah State Legislature provided one-time funding and authorized the Utah Office of Outdoor Recreation
to provide a program pursuant to which eligible entities could apply for money from this fund for projects that allow
for the acquisition of real estate to preserve land for the continuance of the Bonneville Shoreline Trail or for the
construction of projects that provide public access to the Bonneville Shoreline Trail or help to complete sections of
this legacy trail.
The City applied for a grant to purchase approximately 10 acres. This property will provide the ability for trailhead
facilities, assure a critical Bonneville Shoreline Trail connection and alignment and will provide access to other trails
in the area that currently are somewhat inaccessible.
The acquisition of approximately 10 acres of land will be eventually owned by Salt Lake City Public Lands and will
provide much needed trail connectivity for the regional scope of the Bonneville Shoreline Trail. This is also an area
that contains critical winter habitat for elk and other ungulates and protection of this land will safeguard habitat from
development.

YouthCity (YC) has successfully provided high quality OST programs across Salt Lake City since 2003, expanding programs to six sites
(Central City, Fairmont Park, Liberty Park, Ottinger Hall, Sorenson Multi-Cultural Center, and Unity Center) to meet the needs of our
growing community. YC has been exceeding the requirements of the high-quality tier for three years for K-6 programming, and we
are confident of our ability to maintain and improve on those standards. YC is requesting $456,000 in funding per year ($76,000 per
site, per year) to support safe, structured, and enriching programs that utilize standardized curricula to ensure consistent program
quality and provide enriching experiences to support pro-social youth development. Weekly staff meetings and monthly site visits,
including structured observations, will foster collaboration and provide opportunities for staff to share best practices while
maintaining high program standards across all locations. This investment will help meet the community’s growing needs for high-
quality afterschool programs, supporting the positive development of Salt Lake City’s youth.
Budget:
$456,000 per year * 3 years = $1,368,000

programming: 6 Senior Program Managers over operations for each site for a total of $681,657.77 at 100% effort, 2 Community

To: Salt Lake City Council
From: Salt Lake City Public Library

Re: Library Budget Amendment 2 for FY2024-25
The Library’s budget includes an estimate of property tax revenues and expenditures for funds that pass
through the Library to the Inland Port Authority, Convention Center Hotel, and Community
Reinvestment Agency. Along with various other entities, the Library is required by State law to account
for these funds that are never actually deposited into the Library’s accounts. In FY2023-24, the actual
amount of the pass-throughs totaled $3,693,769. The FY2024-25 approved budget these projected pass-
throughs at $1,280,000. Salt Lake County has recently provided the actual amounts as follows:
Entity Amount
Convention Center $110,647
Community Reinvestment Agency $3,881,886
Inland Port Authority $959,551
Total $4,952,084
A budget amendment increasing the Library’s General Fund budget is necessary and the estimated
impact is outlined in the table below:
Account Name Current Budget
Amount
Proposed Budget
Amount Difference
Revenue
Property Taxes – Pass Through $1,280,000 $4,952,084 $3,672,084
Expenditures
Payments to Other Governments $1,280,000 $4,952,084 $3,672,084
The net impact of this adjustment will be zero as the expenditure increase is offset by the increase in
revenue. The Library’s Board of Directors approved the proposed amendment on April 28, 2025.
Recommended Motion:
Move to approve an increase in the Library’s FY25 General Fund budget of $3,672,084.

No. ____ of 2025
Adopting the City budget, excluding the budget for the Library Fund
which is separately adopted, and the employment staffing document of
Salt Lake City, Utah for fiscal year 2025-2026
PREAMBLE
Pursuant to the provisions of Section 10-6-111 of the Utah Code, the City Budget Officer
prepared and filed with the City Council a tentative budget in proper form for all funds for which
budgets are required by said law, including tentative budgets for the general fund, the library fund,
special revenue funds, debt service funds and the capital improvements funds for fiscal year 2025-
2026. The tentative budget was accompanied by a budget message as required by law.
That tentative budget was adopted by the City Council, in Resolution No. __ of 2025, on
________ __, 2025.
Section 10-6-118 of the Utah Code requires that before the 30th day of June of each fiscal
year, or September 1, in case of a property tax increase under Sections 59-2-919 through 59-2-923
of the Utah Code, the governing body shall, by resolution or ordinance, adopt a budget for the
ensuing fiscal year for each fund for which a budget is required.
The City budget officer has prepared a budget, in proper form, for all funds for which

includes the employment staffing documents, have been accomplished.
SECTION 2. ADOPTION OF BUDGET. The budget attached hereto and made a part of

A. The Key Changes for All Funds, labeled “Council Adopted June ____, 2025”;
B. The Employment Staffing Document, labeled “Council Adopted June ____, 2025”; and
C. The Motion Sheet, labeled “Council Adopted June ____, 2025.”
SECTION 4. BUDGET CONTINGENCIES.
The following contingencies apply to the budget adopted for fiscal year 2025-2026:
1. Foothill Trails Contingency – Existing and new funds for the construction,
modification and decommissioning of trails built under the Foothills Trail System Master Plan,
3
Phase 1, will be placed in a holding account with release contingent on the Administration’s
review, in collaboration with a broad spectrum of community stakeholders, of:
i. the implementation to-date of the Master Plan;
ii. identification of adjustments or additional engagement as warranted; and
iii. the Council’s authorization to move forward after the Council evaluates the results
of the process.
The City Council is willing to provide funding to the Administration for one or more
outside experts who can objectively evaluate the technical and public policy aspects of the trail
changes and additions completed to date and anticipated in the Master Plan. That written
evaluation should focus on, but not be limited to:
i. the extent to which trail planning and development have been consistent with the
vision, goals and principles in the Master Plan, including: best practices; strategies
for the preservation and stewardship of the land; and
ii. respect for Tribal concerns.
iii. In addition, the written evaluation should include an analysis of how the process
could be adapted to better meet the needs and desires of all users.
Existing and new funds for environmental studies will not be on hold, so long as such funds
are not used for construction or decommissioning of trails. Existing and new funds for maintenance
or repair of existing trails are released to conduct ongoing maintenance ensuring that tread is within
standard design practices for linear grade, width, cross slope and surface drainage. This does not
include realignment. Passive closure of trails is allowed if a trail becomes a danger to environment
(excessive water damage and erosion) or public safety (for example when a trail has washed out
or excessive water damage has occurred). Passive means fence and signage. No trenching is
permitted.
4
2. Continued Contingency for All Funding Our Future -- Sales Tax Funds (this
has been adopted each year since the City implemented the sales tax). The Council approves
Funding Our Future sales tax revenue appropriations with the following conditions:
a. Expenditure of Funding Our Future Sales Tax Funds. Funding our Future funds
may not be expended unless the department or division expending the funds
complies with:
i. Utah Fiscal Procedures Act;
ii. The City’s Procurement Code and Rules; and
iii. Written verification from the City Attorney and City Finance Director that
proper legal and financial procedures have been followed.
b. Other Funding Our Future Budget Contingencies:
i. The Administration providing a written semiannual spending, implementation
and outcomes report on each of the critical need areas.
ii. Tracking funding for Fleet provided through the Funding our Future tax
separately to ensure it is spent only on public safety (police, fire, dispatch).
iii. The Administration spending funds in the critical need areas as adopted in the
attached key changes spreadsheet.
iv. The Administration bringing back to the Council any proposed adjustments to
the adopted budget in a budget amendment for re-appropriation before changes
are made.
v. The Administration maintaining and regularly updating a publicly available
dashboard reflecting revenues received and actual uses.
vi. In FY25-26 and all future funding requests, providing a label denoting which
line items are funded with this Funding Our Future sales tax funds.
vii. For all positions added, the Administration shall submit an annual written
review along with the Mayor’s Recommended Budget to ensure that each
position continues to serve the critical need areas and, if a Council work session
briefing is scheduled, provide a presentation of the report.

the limitations of this plan.
c. Under this Plan “A,” Full-Time employees who have accumulated
240 hours of sick leave may choose to convert up to 64 hours of the sick
leave earned and unused during any given year to vacation. Any sick leave

d. Conversion at the maximum allowable hours will be made unless the
employee elects otherwise. Any election by an employee for no conversion,
or to convert less than the maximum allowable sick leave hours to vacation
time, must be made by notifying the employee’s department timekeeper or
the city payroll administrator, in writing, not later than the second pay period
of the new calendar year (or the November vacation draw for Fire Battalion
Chiefs). Otherwise, the opportunity to waive conversion or elect conversion
other than the maximum allowable amount will be deemed waived for that
calendar year. In no event may sick leave days be converted from other than
the current year's sick leave allocation.
e. Any sick leave hours, properly converted to vacation benefits as
above described, must be taken before any other vacation hours to which the
employee is entitled; however, in no event is an employee, upon the
employee’s separation from employment, entitled to any pay or
compensation for any sick leave converted to vacation. An employee
forfeits any sick leave converted to vacation remaining unused at the date of
separation from employment.

insurance against loss of income when an employee is unable to perform
assigned duties because of illness or injury. The mayor may e stablish rules
governing the interfacing of sick leave and workers’ compensation benefits
and avoiding, to the extent allowable by law, duplicative payments.
b. Each full-time employee accrues sick leave at a rate of 4.62 hours per
pay period. For any plan year in which there are 27 pay periods, no sick
leave hours will be awarded in the 27th pay period. Authorized and unused
sick leave may be accumulated from year to year, subject to the limitations
of this plan.
1. Sick Leave Accrual for Fire Battalion Chiefs – Each covered
employee shall be entitled to 15 days of sick leave each calendar year,
except for members of the Operations division who shall be entitled to
7.5 shifts of sick leave each calendar year. The City shall credit a
covered employee’s sick leave account in a lump sum (either 15 days
or7.5 shifts) during the first month of each calendar year. Authorized
and unused sick leave may be accumulated from year to year subject to
the limitations of this plan.
c. Under this Plan “A,” Full-Time employees who have accumulated
240 hours of sick leave may choose to convert up to 64 hours of the sick
leave earned and unused during any given year to vacation. Any sick leave
used during the calendar year reduces the allowable conversion by an equal
amount.
1. Sick Leave Conversion for Fire Battalion Chiefs – Fire Battalion
Chiefs who have accumulated 15 shifts (for Operations employees), or
19
240 hours (for non-Operations employees) may choose to convert a
portion of the year sick leave grant from any given year to vacation, as
follows—
Number of Sick Leave Shifts
Used During Previous Calendar
Year (Operations Only)
Number of Sick Leave Shifts
Available for Conversion
(Operations Only)
No shifts used 5 shifts
One shift used 4 shifts
Two shifts used 3 shifts
Three shifts used 2 shifts
Four shifts used 1 shift
Five or more shifts used No shifts
Number of Sick Leave Shifts
Used During Previous Calendar
Year (Support Only)
Number of Sick Leave Shifts
Available for Conversion
(Support Only)
No days used 9 days
One day used 8 days
Two days used 7 days
Three days used 6 days
Four days used 5 days
Five or more days used 0 days
d. Conversion at the maximum allowable hours will be made unless the
employee elects otherwise. Any election by an employee for no conversion,
or to convert less than the maximum allowable sick leave hours to vacation
time, must be made by notifying the employee’s department timekeeper or
the city payroll administrator, in writing, not later than the second pay period
of the new calendar year (or the November vacation draw for Fire Battalion
Chiefs). Otherwise, the opportunity to waive conversion or elect conversion
other than the maximum allowable amount will be deemed waived for that
calendar year. In no event may sick leave days be converted from other than
the current year's sick leave allocation.
e. Any sick leave hours, properly converted to vacation benefits as
above described, must be taken before any other vacation hours to which the
employee is entitled; however, in no event is an employee, upon the
employee’s separation from employment, entitled to any pay or
compensation for any sick leave converted to vacation. An employee
forfeits any sick leave converted to vacation remaining unused at the date of
separation from employment.
f. Sick Leave Benefits Upon Layoff. Employees who are subject to
layoff because of lack of work or lack of funds will be paid at 100% of their
hourly base wage rate as of the date of termination for each accumulated
unused sick leave hour.

as hospitalization leave, with the prior approval of their division head or
supervisor.
d. An employee who must receive urgent medical treatment at a
hospital, emergency room, or acute care facility, and who is regularly
scheduled for work or unable to perform their duties during a shift (or

the city and any policies regarding the use of such leave adopted by the department
in which the employee works. Accrued personal leave hours may be used on the

payment as provided in subparagraph (3)(a), above, and carry over a portion

adjustment necessary after calculating the “prorated amount,” shall be paid to the
employee at 50 percent of the regular hourly base wage rate (not including acting
pay) on the date of termination for each unused hour. For purposes of this

worked in the plan year (rounded to the end of the pay period which includes the
separation date) to 26 pay periods. If the employee, at the time of separation, has

their supervisor as much prior notice as possible.

SALT LAKE CITY ORDINANCE
No. ___ of 2025
(City Owned Motor Vehicles)
(An ordinance amending Salt Lake City Code Section 2.54.030
to update policies and restrictions related to the use of City owned motor vehicles.)
WHEREAS, Chapter 2.54 of the Salt Lake City Code addresses certain aspects of Salt Lake
City Corporation’s (the “City”) City owned motor vehicles program; and
WHEREAS, Salt Lake City Code Section 2.54.030 sets forth policies and restrictions
related to a City employee’s use of City owned motor vehicles; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of Salt Lake City desires to update the policies and
restrictions governing the use of City owned motor vehicles.
NOW, THEREFORE, be it ordained by the City Council of Salt Lake City, Utah:
SECTION 1. That Section 2.54.030 of the Salt Lake City Code is hereby amended
to read as follows:
2.54.030: USE POLICY AND RESTRICTIONS:
A. No motor vehicle owned by the City may be taken home by any City
employee except under the following circumstances:
1. Authorization to regularly take home a City owned vehicle is
granted to a full-time employee by the department director and approved by the
mayor, the mayor’s chief of staff, or his or her designee based on a demonstrated
need for such vehicle to be taken home to serve the public interest, which
demonstrated need must be based on one of the following criteria:
a. The vehicle is assigned as a qualified take-home vehicle to a
sworn and certified law enforcement officer of the Salt Lake City police
2
department or an employee of the Salt Lake City fire department (in either
case, a “public safety officer”) pursuant to the department’s take home
vehicle policy. Public safety officers shall at all times maintain in their
vehicle an article of clothing or equipment that clearly identifies them as
public safety officers of Salt Lake City to be used in the event of unexpected
or off-duty deployment; or
b. The nature of the employee’s work requires immediate
response to emergency situations, regardless of frequency, that require the
use of specific safety or emergency equipment that cannot be reasonably
carried in the employee’s personal vehicle.
2. Due to an isolated incident of use when, because of the lateness of
the hour or other peculiar circumstances, it is impractical or impossible to return
such vehicle to City custody at the end of a duty shift;
3. Due to emergency circumstances, the ability of the employee to
access their primary location of employment is compromised such that the
employee may be unable to reasonably retrieve such vehicle from, or return such
vehicle to, City custody. The employee in such circumstance must obtain prior
written consent from their department director describing the limited time period
during which the employee is authorized to take the vehicle home, along with a
description of the circumstances necessitating the temporary authorization; or
4. The employee has been designated as the director of a City
department.
3
B. Authorization to take home a City owned vehicle subject to subsection A1
is subject to the following requirements:
1. Prior to receiving authorization, an employee must establish their
daily commute mileage by calculating the shortest possible driving distance from
the primary location of employment to the employee’s residence, as evidenced by
a commonly available internet program or application that estimates distances using
driving directions (the “standard commute”). Each employee will be required to
provide documentation of their standard commute. For such employees, reasonable
personal use of a take home vehicle is allowed within the employee’s standard
commute or related to a public safety officer’s use of the vehicle while actively
responsible for callback duty. Such reasonable personal use shall be further defined
by department policies, which shall set forth a mileage radius limit from the
employee’s residence, to limit excessive mileage and wear and tear incurred on City
vehicles. No personal use may be made of the vehicle outside of these limits. Prior
to receiving authorization, employees shall agree, in writing, to abide by the
provisions of this chapter, to limit take-home use of the vehicle as described herein,
to maintain and use the vehicle in a clean, safe, and serviceable manner, and to
acknowledge that the employee has no expectation of privacy in their use of any
City-owned vehicle.
2. Fleet management shall provide to the department director access to
reports detailing usage, safety data, location, and mileage of City vehicles, as well
as access to geofencing monitoring technology, thus enabling the department
director to monitor vehicle usage and to determine whether employees are
4
exceeding reasonable personal use as defined herein and in department policies.
Each department with employees authorized for take home vehicle use shall follow
adopted City fleet policies requiring regular audits of the fleet management actual
use reports and employees’ acknowledged use and procedures for addressing
unauthorized personal use and usage that exceeds the employee’s standard
commute or estimated monthly mileage, including procedures for termination of
authorization for take home use and disciplinary action.
3. Travel to and from secondary employment in a City vehicle is
prohibited except with respect to public safety officers and in that case only if the
secondary employer pays the Special Equipment Fee and Fuel Surcharge Fee as set
forth on the Salt Lake City Consolidated Fee Schedule.
C. 1. Employees authorized for take home use pursuant to subsection A1
may use City owned motor vehicles only if such employees make biweekly
payments to the City for such use according to the following fee schedule:
a. Employees who live within Salt Lake City shall make no
payment for the use of the vehicle.
b. For those employees living outside of Salt Lake City, each
employee shall make a biweekly payment to the City in the amount of three
dollars ($3.00) per mile based upon the distance of the employee’s standard
commute from the Salt Lake City limits to the employee’s residence.
2. The City Council shall reevaluate the fee schedule each year in
conjunction with its adoption of the annual City budget. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, department heads, including the chief of the police
5
department and the chief of the fire department, shall not be required to pay the fees
imposed by this subsection C.
3. Liability coverage provided by the City for an employee’s authorized
personal or off-duty use of City owned vehicles under this subsection is set forth in Utah
Code Ann. § 63G-7-802.
D. Except for vehicles provided to department directors pursuant to subsection
A4 of this section, a City owned vehicle may only be authorized for take home use for an
employee whose standard commute exceeds sixty (60) miles from the City limits with the
express permission of the employee’s department director and the mayor or the mayor’s
designee. With respect to public safety officers authorized pursuant to subsection A1 of
this section, the Chief of Police or Fire Chief may permit City owned vehicles to be secured
at a police station or fire department located within a sixty (60) mile radius from the City
limits if a determination is made that such arrangement is necessary and reasonable.
E. Except as provided for herein, under no circumstances shall a City vehicle
be used for any purpose other than City business, to promote a City interest, or for any use
authorized by the mayor or the mayor’s designee.
SECTION 2. That this ordinance shall become effective upon publication. Passed
by the City Council of Salt Lake City, Utah, this ____ day of 2025.

MEMORANDUM TO CITY COUNCIL
To: Salt Lake City Council - Chris Wharton, Chair
Date: May 2, 2025
Date Received by City Council Office _____________
From: Mark Kitrell, City Attorney _______
Sara Montoya, Senior City Attorney _______
Subject: Administrative Organization Ordinance amendments—City Code Section
2.08.120 (Department of Sustainability)
Document Type: Ordinance
Recommendation: Adopt amendments to City Code Section 2.08.120
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
On March 21, 2024, the City Attorney’s Office provided a memorandum and a draft ordinance (“2024
Draft Ordinance”) with proposed amendments to Title 2 related to the Sustainability Department for the
consideration of the City Council. The 2024 Draft Ordinance was discussed in a work session meeting on
May 30, 2024, with the City Council providing feedback to the Sustainability Department and asking for
certain revisions or clarifications in the draft ordinance for further review. This memorandum and
accompanying updated draft ordinance are intended to respond to that feedback and incorporate the
requested revisions.
Title 2 is the section of City Code that establishes the City departments and their respective roles in City
government. The City Attorney’s Office has identified some departments’ roles in Title 2 which are not
specific and do not clearly identify the specific core City functions these departments serve. As part of its
service to both branches of government, the City Attorney’s Office is drafting changes to Title 2 for these
identified departments. The goal of these revisions is to establish a shared understanding of the role and
functions of each department in the City, so that the Administration can create programs and budget
proposals tied to those roles, and the Council can review these programs and budget proposals under that
shared framework and understanding.
Section 2.08.120 currently describes the functions of the department of sustainability as follows: “[t]he
department of sustainability shall have charge of and be responsible for sustainability. The department
will also be responsible for the collection and disposal of all solid waste generated within the city as
provided for in city ordinance.” The City Attorney’s Office has reviewed and proposed changes to
Sustainability’s roles and functions under Title 2.
The proposed ordinance amendments accomplish the following:
• Comprehensively describes the functions of the Department of Sustainability.
• Defines the Department’s role in the City as developing and coordinating policies and programs
across City operations and throughout the community.
• Prescribes a list of Department focus areas to guide the Department’s policies and programs.
• Specifies that the Department will aim to achieve the greatest local impact in its policies and
programs.
• Charges the Department with providing waste and recycling services for the City.
• Tasks the Department with developing strategies and resources to conduct public outreach
activities related to focus areas.
After receiving comments and questions from the City Council during the May 30, 2024 work session
briefing, the City Attorney’s Office proposed additional revisions, which include an updated legislative
draft, a clean version of the updated proposed ordinance, and a draft ordinance that includes marked-up
changes from the 2024 Draft Ordinance. Further narrative responses to these questions are set forth herein
to aid the City Council’s consideration:
• Comments from City Council: Add that this is not a delegation of policymaking authority to the
Department; rather, the ordinance is itself an exercise of the Council’s policymaking authority
and establishes Department functions/authority which the Department (under its administrative
authority) will execute upon to effectuate those policies.
o Response: Added language to the recitals to address this.
• Comments from City Council: State that core functions could be shared across multiple
departments, then for the focus areas be more specific to the department.
o Response: The functions identified are largely department-specific (i.e. function #2,
waste management), but the focus areas certainly overlap with other city departments’
roles. Added language to the recitals to clarify that the focus areas of the department
reflect City-wide priorities that are also promoted by other departments.
• Comments from City Council: Add to the ordinance a request that when a department
recommends an annual budget to the Council, it will report on how the focus areas are prioritized
for the fiscal year.
o Response: This language was not added, as codifying the language would be overly
prescriptive and creep into legislating administrative procedures. Furthermore, the
Council already has authority to request any reports from departments per 2.04.040. From
a practical perspective, the department’s “programs” in their program-based budget
proposal are derived from the focus areas and thus the requested funding for each
program would reflect the administration’s prioritization of those areas.
• Comments from City Council: Add water quality, water conservation, and air quality to be more
specific than “protect natural resources”
o Response: Sustainability is not the lead department for water quality protection and water
conservation (that would be Public Utilities), though Sustainability does take the lead on
environmental compliance, renewable energy, and waste reduction/reuse/recycling,
which all result in greater protection to the area’s air, land, and water. To avoid
confusion, we have removed “natural resources” and replaced it with “the air, land, and
water.”
• Comments from City Council: Need more specificity on what resiliency means for
Sustainability, for example they would not be responsible for economic resiliency but would be
the lead for electrical grid resiliency.
o Response: The language was changed from “resiliency” to “climate resiliency.”’
• Comments from City Council: Does environmental justice and equity need to be adjusted or
removed for compliance with HB261 of 2024? Sustainability was using the same definition as the
EPA at the time.
o Response: HB 261 has a carveout for federal compliance, which is where the
department’s role for environmental justice work arose, so it is not strictly in violation of
HB 261 to include in the ordinance. If a particular program is NOT federally funded, it is
a fact-specific inquiry whether that would violate HB 261. Nevertheless, the language
was removed, but additional language captures the intent of this focus area by revising
the following statement: “Developing policies and programs will be aimed at achieving
the greatest local impact, including for communities that are disproportionately impacted
by adverse environmental conditions…”
• Comments from City Council: Specify that the City's role is helping fix local food systems but
not being a provider of food such as a grocer or food broker.
o Response: The department is clear about the Council’s desire not to be a food provider,
and instead intends this focus area to mean “supporting” or “strengthening” the local food
system.
• Comments from City Council: Section 4: This core function might better belong in the
overarching policy guidance for all departments.
o Response: Agreed; it was deleted.
• Finally, while not a Council point of feedback, we have revised slightly by pulling out a
“Purpose” section (Section A) and a “Functions” section (Section B). This is to provide greater
clarity.
These proposed amendments to City ordinance aim to provide policy direction, clarity of purpose, and a
prescriptive list of functions to the Department of Sustainability to ensure it operates with focused intent
and maximum local impact.

Recommendation:
Recommendation to adopt proposed Title 17 ordinance updates to comply with the City's updated water, sewer, and stormwater rate structures, and to comply with regulatory requirements.
Background/Discussion
Salt Lake City Department of Public Utilities is requesting ordinance updates to align with recommendations identified in the 2024 Water, Wastewater, and Stormwater Rate Study (Rate Study). These changes amend Title 17 of Salt Lake City’s ordinance and will need to be enacted upon adoption of the Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Consolidated Fee Schedule and the SLCDPU Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Budget. The Council received a copy of the Rate Study via a separate transmittal and was briefed regarding the Rate Study on January 7, 2025. The Council was briefed regarding the SLCDPU FY 2025-2026 Budget on April 15, 2025.
As part of this transmittal, SLCDPU is additionally requesting changes to Title 17 that are required by the Utah Department of Environmental Quality, Division of Water Quality (DWQ) in the 2023 SLCDPU Pretreatment Program Legal Authority Audit. These changes are not related to
the Rate Study or FY 2025-2026 Budget, but are a regulatory requirement from the DWQ, in their enforcement role of the City’s Pretreatment Program
Will there need to be a public hearing for this item?*
Yes
No
Public Process
The City has included an extensive public process associated with the development of its updated Rate Study, the implementation of new rates and updated rate structures, and its Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Budget.

IF AN EXTENSION IS NEEDED FOR ANY RECOMMENDATION STATED IN THE
REPORT, A VERBAL OR EMAIL REQUEST SHOULD BE PROVIDED BY THE CA
WITHIN 5 DAYS OF RECEIVING THIS REPORT TO DWQ. FOR A
RECOMMENDATION THAT HAS A TIME FRAME OF MORE THAN 45 DAYS, A
WRITTEN JUSTIFICATION FOR THE EXTENSION SHOULD BE PROVIDED
WITHIN 15 DAYS OF RECEIVING THIS REPORT. FOR TIME FRAMES LESS THAN
45 DAYS, A WRITTEN JUSTIFICATION FOR AN EXTENSION SHOULD BE
PROVIDED WITHIN 5 DAYS. WRITTEN APPROVAL FOR AN EXTENSION WILL BE
PROVIDED BY DWQ IF GRANTED. EXTENSION REQUESTS SHOULD BE
SUBMITTED TO THE DWQ PRETREATMENT COORDINATOR.
Information submitted for this report can be emailed if the document is a draft or to request
an extension. Any final changes to the Program should be submitted per 40 CFR 403.18iii
and mailed to DWQ.
ALL RECOMMENDATIONS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
RECOMMENDATIONS SHOULD BE IMPLEMENTED BY THE CA IN ALL
APPLICABLE AREAS OF THE PRETREATMENT PROGRAM. IF A
RECOMMENDATION IS FOR A SPECIFIC PERMITTEE, THE RECOMMENDATION
SHOULD BE ADDRESSED AND IMPLEMENTED IN ALL APPLICABLE AREAS OF
THE PRETREATMENT PROGRAM. IF A RECOMMENDATION IS NOT
COMPLETED OR IMPLEMENTED IN ALL APPLICABLE AREAS OF THE
PRETREATMENT PROGRAM, FURTHER ACTION BY DWQ MAY OCCUR,
INCLUDING ENFORCEMENT.
Sections 2 and 3 of the report are information based on the Statement of Basis/Fact Sheet for
the UPDES Permit, the UPDES Permit issued to the CA, the Program, the information
provided by the CA in the Pretreatment Annual Reports, or information stated by the CA
during the inspection.
Section 4 of the report summarizes the information from the file review. The industrial user
file review form (IUFRF) is used to gather the information for the file review. The
information in the IUFRF assists in determining compliance with the pretreatment
regulations for the files reviewed as part of the audit or PCI. Data from the file review is
generally reviewed for the last twelve to twenty-four months. Guidance states, in the Control
Authority Pretreatment Audit Checklist and Instructions from February 2010, “the auditor
should review a representative number of SIU files.” Therefore, files were selected based on
the compliance history or when DWQ last reviewed the file.
Information in Sections 5.1, 6.1, 7.1, 8.1 and 9.1 is based on the Program implemented by the
CA or information gathered during the inspection. The recommendations in Sections 2, 3
and 5 through 9 are based on the information found in Section 4 or information collected
based on the Program, the information provided by the CA in the Pretreatment Annual
4 of 42
Reports, the file reviews or inspections at the SIUs. The Program developed and
implemented by the CA, EPA Guidance and the Code of Federal Regulations were utilized
to determine if a time frame should be provided for the CA to complete or submit the
recommendation to DWQ.
Sections 10 and 11 are summary sections. Section 10 summarizes the documents reviewed
for the report and received documentation from the permittee.
Section 11 summarizes some of the recommendations stated in this report. It is recommended
that the table in Section 11 be used to document when information is provided to DWQ.
Although some information may not need to be sent to DWQ, the CA should implement the
recommendations, which state a time frame for completing the recommendation. The CA
should review the report thoroughly to ensure all recommendations are addressed, as some
may not be included in Section 11. DWQ may follow up on all recommendations in the
report. Documentation should be submitted to DWQ for any pretreatment documents that
are changed due to the recommendations (e.g., forms, inspection reports, permits, etc.)
modified as a result of this report; the documents should be submitted per 40 CFR 403.18 iii.
Time frames for completing recommendations are stated as the days following receiving the
report. This is interpreted as calendar days, including the weekend. If the time frame ends
on the weekend or a state of Utah observed holiday, the recommendation should be
submitted to DWQ on the next working day. Receipt of this report is either when the
documents for the report are signed for by the CA if sent via the US Postal Service or when
the email is sent from the DWQ to the CA.
A request for an extension beyond what is stated above should be made in writing with
justification to DWQ at least 30 days before the due date indicated in the report. Failure to
request an extension or complete a recommendation within the time frame stated for
completing the recommendation could result in further action by DWQ.
The recommendations should be reviewed and modified based on the recommendation if
SLC determines they are necessary. If a recommendation is not implemented, it is
recommended that justification be documented as to why it was not implemented. The
documentation does not need to be submitted to DWQ unless stated in the recommendation.
If a modification or notification is required, it should occur within a year of receiving this
report unless another time frame for completing the recommendation is stated.

PRETREATMENT AUDIT
REPORT
1. INTRODUCTION
The Utah Division of Water Quality (DWQ) conducted a pretreatment audit of the Approved
POTW Pretreatment Program (Program)i, ii implemented by Salt Lake City (SLC). The audit
began on 26 July 2023 at 08:15 until 09:30 on 2 August 2023. The participants in the audit
included:
Terrence Price Regulatory Compliance Manager
Salt Lake City
Lindsay Cowles Pretreatment Program Coordinator
Salt Lake City
Kelly Curtin Senior Permit Writer
Salt Lake City
Austin White Senior Permit Writer
Salt Lake City
Conner Hansen Permit Writer/Inspector

Salt Lake City
Chad Stratton FOG Program Manager
Salt Lake City
Dallin Stettler FOG Sampler
Salt Lake City
Jennifer Robinson Pretreatment Program Coordinator
Division of Water Quality
Jennifer Berjikian Environmental Scientist
Division of Water Quality
The purpose of the audit was to evaluate the Program. The audit consisted of discussions with
the SLC Pretreatment Personnel, the examination of pretreatment records, and a closeout
discussion. A file review and inspection were completed at: Fisher Brewery Company LLC,
Actavis Laboratories, American Diamond Tool, Blackrock Microsystems, Cintas, Dominion
Energy – Questar Gas Company, Graphic Ink Company, High West Holdings LLC, Meadow
Gold Dairies, Passey & Son Jewelry LLC, Sportsman’s Warehouse, Star Foundry and
Machine, SLCDA – Deicing Fluid Reclamation Plant, Sweet Candy Company, Varex Imaging
Corp and Welfare Square Cannery.
Information for this report was gathered from the following: the Program implemented by
SLC, the UPDES Permit issued to SLC by DWQ, discussions, information regarding the SIU
inspections and file reviews, EPA Guidance, categorical standards listed in 40 CFR and 40
6 of 42
CFR 403. A review of the following occurred: legal authorityiv, the procedures v, the
enforcement response plan vi, the industrial waste surveyvii, the resources and funding,viii and
the SLC Local Limit ix Development Document. Additional information regarding the review
and discussions regarding these components of the SLC Program are provided in this report.
2. POTW INFORMATION, UPDES PERMIT and PERMIT REQUIREMENTS
2.1. POTW Basic Information
SLC owns, operates, and maintains the SLC Water Reclamation Facility (WRF) and the
collection system. The POTW treats wastewater from residential, commercial, and
Industrial Users within the city limits of Salt Lake City. The WRF is located at 1365
West 2300 North in Salt Lake City, Utah. The pretreatment personnel, offices, and files
are located near the WRF at 2020 North Redwood Road in Salt Lake City, which is also
the mailing address for the Program.
The City is modifying the WRF. The modification is due to more stringent effluent
standards in the UPDES Permit. The modification is to a biological nutrient removal
system (BNR).
2.2. Water Reclamation Facility (WRF) Information
The WRF has a design capacity of 56.0 MGD. It is a trickling filter system with chlorine
disinfection. The Oil Drain Canal is the receiving stream for the effluent. The WRF was
not inspected as part of the audit.
2.3. UPDES Permit Information
DWQ has issued an UPDES Permit to SLC, permit number UT0021725. The UPDES
Permit became effective on 1 January 2021 and will expire on 31 December 2024.
Provisions for the Program are included in Part II of the UPDES Permit. This includes
requirements for implementing the Program per 40 CFR 403 and R317-8-8. SLC must
provide information to DWQ regarding Industrial Users discharging to the POTW,
providing any modification to the Program to DWQ per 40 CFR 403.18iii, monitoring the
influent and effluent for the priority pollutants, providing the annual report yearly by
March 28th and reviewing and updating Local Limits, as needed. The permit also allows
DWQ to take action to ensure enforcement of the Program is occurring.
2.3.1. POTW Compliance Information
Since the last pretreatment inspection and before the audit, no violations of the
UPDES effluent limits have occurred. A WET test failure occurred for a chronic
WET test in January 2020. Although, the permit requires chronic WET testing as
an indicator only; therefore, the failure was not a violation of the UPDES Permit.
This was also noted in the 2020 PCI Report.
7 of 42
2.3.2. Sampling, UPDES Part II H
The UPDES Permit requires influent and effluent samples to be analyzed every
other month/six times yearly for metals and cyanide and twice yearly for toxic
organics. Analysis for the metals listed in the permit must meet the sampling
requirements stated in Part II H of the UPDES Permit.
DWQ reviewed the metals and cyanide data in Part II H of the permit for
compliance with the permit, utilizing the EPA Enforcement and Compliance
History Online (ECHO) website. The following link is to the ECHO data:
https://echo.epa.gov/effluent-charts#UT0021725
Based on the data review, SLC is sampling per the requirements of Part II H.
2.3.3. Reporting Requirements
Salt Lake City must report loads greater than the maximum allowable headworks
loading (MAHL) for pollutants listed in Part II H. SLC has not reported
information regarding this criterion in the permit to DWQ.
The permit requires SLC to submit an annual report yearly. The SLC submitted
the pretreatment annual report for 2023 per the requirement of Part II C.
2.4. Recommendation
Documentation regarding whether SLC implements the recommendation should be
available to DWQ for review during future inspections. If SLC does not implement
the recommendation, outreach may occur regarding the need to implement the
recommendation.
If the analysis for a pollutant of concern is non-detect, it is recommended that if a method
with a lower detection is available, the lower detection method be utilized. This will
assist with developing local limits; see EPA Local Limit Guidance (LLG) Section 4.6
for additional information on this topic.
It is recommended that the most sensitive method be used to analyze the parameters for
which Local Limits have been developed. This ensures that data for Local Limit
development is based on analysis from the POTW rather than literature values. Based on
the data review in ECHO, this seems to be occurring for most of the parameters.
However, this is not occurring for mercury. Since a local limit has been developed for
mercury, it is recommended that a method with a lower detection limit be utilized to
ensure that the data for the development of the limit is based on data from the SLC WRF
rather than literature values. As stated in the EPA LLG page 9-5:

…the most accurate and technically defensible limits are the result of using site-
specific data, rather than “generic” removal efficiency data derived from average,
national-level treatment works “literature” data.
3. PRETREATMENT PROGRAM and OPERATING PROCEDURES
3.1. Pretreatment Program General Information
EPA approved the Program in 1982. Modifications and changes have been made to the
Program and submitted to DWQ. However, discussions have occurred regarding
modifications to Program documents, which have been modified due to wording. Some
of these may not have been submitted to DWQ. However, if the modification was not
submitted, this was communicated to DWQ, and DWQ agreed that the wording was
similar; therefore, it did not need to be submitted per 40 CFR 403.18 (d)iii.
3.2. Legal Authority iv
The legal authority was reviewed as part of the audit. The review checklist for the legal
authority is attached to this report.
The legal authority has been updated to include the requirements for streamlining. DWQ
last approved the legal authority for the SLC Program on 30 March 2022. The public
comment period for the legal authority occurred from 30 January 2022 until 10 March
2022. During the public comment period, no comments were received, and no changes
occurred of the legal authority; therefore, an additional public notice did not occur.
The legal authority has some optional provisions from 40 CFR 403 per the modifications
that occurred in October 2005. The following optional streamlining provisions are
incorporated into the legal authority:
• Equivalent mass limits, EPA Fact Sheet 3.0,
• Equivalent concentration based limits, EPA Fact Sheet 4.0,
• Equivalent limitations for average and maximum equivalent limitation;
• Non-Significant Categorical Industrial User, EPA Fact Sheet 5.0;
• Middle tier CIU, EPA Fact Sheet 5.0;
• Pollutants not present, EPA Fact Sheet 6.0; and
• BMPs x as Local Limits, EPA Fact Sheet 7.0.
Also included in the SLC Rules and Regulations are the following provisions:
• Determining that an SIU that does not violate a Pretreatment Standard xi is
an IU;
• Affirmative Defense for general prohibitions;
• Affirmative Defense for Upset xii; and
• Affirmative Defense for Bypass xiii.
9 of 42
SLC must ensure that the abovementioned provisions are appropriately implemented per
the requirements of the SLC Ordinance, 40 CFR 403 and R317-8-8. Also, per 40 CFR
403.8 (f)(2)v, procedures must be developed to ensure the conditions are consistently
implemented.
3.3. Procedures v
DWQ reviewed some of the SLC procedures for implementing the Program. Sections
related to the information based on the review of the SLC Standard Operating
Instructions (SOI) for the Program may cover additional comments, information, and
recommendations.
SLC must ensure updated procedures are submitted to DWQ per 40 CFR 403.18iii.
However, as stated in the SLC SOI PT-PER-01, grammar corrections may not need to be
submitted.
3.4. Funding and Resources viii
The budget for the Program has increased from $1,191,621.99 in 2023, an increase of
about 9% from the previous budget year. SLC has not increased the staffing of the
Program. Currently, nine members of the SLC staff administer the Program.
Adequate equipment seems to be provided to the pretreatment personnel to complete the
requirements of the SLC Program. Technical documents are also available to implement
the program.
Pretreatment personnel stay informed about current and developing regulations by
attending workshops and receiving information from the EPA, the Water Environment
Association of Utah (WEAU) and the Region 8 Pretreatment Association (R8PA).
Based on the budget and staffing, SLC appears to be providing adequate resources to the
Program. DWQ will continue to review the resources during future audits.
3.5. Local Limits ix
SLC has developed Local Limits, which DWQ approved on 19 September 2017. A
technical evaluation of the Local Limits occurred per the permit requirements. Based on
the review of the documents submitted to DWQ on 26 May 2021, it was determined that
the Local Limits were protective, and a revision was not necessary at that time. The
UPDES Permit will be renewed soon; a new technical review must be submitted per the
permit requirements.
3.6. Recommendations
Documentation regarding whether SLC implements the recommendation should be
available to DWQ for review during future inspections. If SLC does not implement
10 of 42
the recommendation, outreach may occur regarding the need to implement the
recommendation.
If a recommendation in this section results in a change to the SLC Program, it
should be submitted to the DWQ Pretreatment Coordinator within a year.
3.6.1. The Program cannot go beyond the scope of the mailing requirements allowed by
Region VIII for DWQ. This is implemented by the following means:
• If the submittal is being sent to DWQ by the US Postal Service, the
postmark by the US Postal Service is the received date.
• If another carrier is used, the date DWQ receives the submittal is when it
was received.
Procedures that allow other carriers to be covered as of the date the carrier
receives the document should be modified. This was found on page 7 of the SLC
ERP.
3.6.2. New pretreatment staff should be provided with additional training opportunities.
Since the audit, a new pretreatment coordinator and permit writers have been
hired. Additional training of these staff members will ensure the Program is
implemented per the requirements of the SLC Ordinance, the SLC Program
Procedures and 40 CFR 403.8 (f). Additional training opportunities are available
on the EPA website at the following links.
https://www.epa.gov/npdes/national-pretreatment-program-training-and-
webinars
https://www.epa.gov/npdes/national-pretreatment-program-events
https://www.epa.gov/npdes/npdes-recorded-training-and-webinars
3.6.3. It is recommended that if the SLC Development Review Division finds that a
facility does not need a permit, however, it is determined that a permit is
necessary by the SLC Pretreatment Staff that additional outreach be provided to
the SLC Development Review Division. This ensures that if an inconsistency
occurs, it is corrected or referred to the SLC Pretreatment Staff as needing
additional review by the SLC Development Review Division. This
recommendation is based on the information in the SOI PT-IWS Section 5.2 as
follows:
…Informing Development Review Division if a User (identified on the
Master IU List) requires a Wastewater Discharge Permit;
If/when not specifically requested by the Development Review Division,
the Pretreatment Program is responsible for requesting the IU to complete
11 of 42
an Industrial & Commercial User Questionnaire (i.e., IWS Survey form)
and/or a Wastewater Discharge Permit Application…
3.6.4. The staffing and funding of the Program seem adequate. However, it is
recommended that staff in management, the collection system, the treatment plant
and the SLC Development Review Division receive training regarding
pretreatment to ensure communication is provided to the SLC Pretreatment
Personnel and management regarding issues within the POTW. This could be
provided by attending local pretreatment training or having staff watch the
pretreatment webinars hosted by the EPA. The following link is to the
pretreatment webinars that the EPA has recorded:
https://www.epa.gov/npdes/national-pretreatment-program-training-and-
webinars
3.7. Recommendations
Documentation regarding whether SLC implements the recommendation should be
available to DWQ for review during future inspections. If SLC does not address the
recommendation, the information regarding the recommendation needing to be
addressed may be referred to the DWQ Compliance and Enforcement Section.
3.7.1. Review the summary of the legal authority for the SLC Rules and Regulations.
Based on the review, notify the DWQ Pretreatment Coordinator of any
modifications to the legal authority that will occur. This should be submitted to
the DWQ Pretreatment Coordinator within 30 days of receiving this report. The
notification should include the timeframe for submitting a draft of the legal
authority to the DWQ Pretreatment Coordinator.
3.7.2. The legal authority allows the postmark date to be the date of receipt for any
postal carrier. EPA and DWQ have historically allowed for the postmark of the
U.S. Postal Service as the receipt date per the air quality rule for the receipt of
payment. In Utah, this allowance is based on the Air Quality Rule R305-4-10
(11).
Modify the SLC Ordinance regarding report receipt. This is recommended
because the provision goes beyond what has been allowed per the Air Quality
Rule by EPA and DWQ. This modification and any other recommended
modifications based on the attached ordinance review should be completed within
a year of receiving this report.
3.7.3. The following statement is in the SOI PT-PER-01:
Any substantive changes (i.e., anything more than administrative and
grammar corrections) to the Permit Application/BMR must be submitted to
the State prior to implementation in accordance with UAC R317-8-8.
12 of 42
SLC has discussed administrative and grammar corrections to the procedures in
the past with DWQ; this should continue. This has ensured that DWQ and SLC
agreed that the changes did not need to be submitted before changes were
implemented. The changes not submitted and discussed with DWQ included title
changes and minor wordsmithing of the procedures.
4. SIU FILE REVIEW
4.1. General File Review Findings
The fact sheet provides justification for the permit. It includes information regarding the
facility and the requirements the permittee must meet. Also included is information for
the Local Limit parameters, with justification regarding why a parameter was included
or not included as a limitation in the permit and information regarding the permittee's
compliance history.
The files that were reviewed contained inspection reports that met the requirements of
the IUFRF. Based on the review, the Program reviews previous inspections before the
inspection. The program also sends a certified letter to the permittee regarding the
inspection and, if necessary, any issues that need to be addressed.
The permits clearly state the requirements for the permittee regarding the development
and implementation of a slug control plan. Information is included in the permit, which
is not supported by 17.36.150. A discussion occurred regarding this, and SLC is of the
opinion that with information in the ordinance, the information in the permit is supported
by the ordinance.
The files documented enforcement actions well. The file contained information regarding
the action taken against the permittee. If the action was a verbal warning, information
was documented regarding the conversation with the permittee.
Reports are required to be submitted on the 28th day following the end of the reporting
period. A table in the permit indicates when the permittee must submit the reports to
SLC.
4.2. Specific Permit Findings

American Diamond Tool manufactures diamond drill bits and downhole tooling
for the drilling industry. If the facility discharged to the POTW, the facility would
be required to meet the categorical standards found in 40 CFR 464. However, the
facility does not discharge, so a zero-discharge permit has been issued.
The permittee was not required to develop a slug control plan. However, the
permit does include language that a plan must be developed and submitted for
approval if required. The inspection report provided information regarding the
review for a slug control plan and supported the continuation of not requiring a
plan to be submitted for approval.
Three zero-discharge reports were reviewed. The reports were received per the
requirements of the permit. However, one was not signed by the signatory
authority. SLC included information regarding this issue in the file. The
information included the updated signatory authority, with the report being
14 of 42
resubmitted by the permittee. No additional compliance issues were found as part

time. However, it will be required if the permittee resumes groundwater
remediations. The permit states that a slug control plan is required.
An inspection occurred on 10 May 2022. The following inspection occurred on
16 May 2023.
The facility has not discharged into the POTW, so the permittee and SLC have
not taken samples since 2017. The permittee submitted reports indicating that the
facility was not discharging to the POTW. Five reports were reviewed, which

5. SIU PERMITS
5.1. General Information
SLC has permitted 106 SIUs. Forty-eight SIUs are permitted as CIUs, and seventeen
have been permitted as zero-discharging SIUs.
SLC utilizes a permit as its control mechanism. Permits are issued to SIUs for a maximum
term of five years. However, most of the permits were issued for about 4.5 to 4 years, as
recommended in Section 16.2 of the SLC SOI PT-PER-01.
Section 16.2 suggests that new permittees be issued permits for one to two years. This
shortened permit cycle is suggested for permittees that might be subject to reduced
reporting requirements once sampling has been completed.
The SLC has procedures for permitting IUs, provided in SLC SOI PT-PER-01. The
methods include reviewing the application and ensuring it is complete. If the application
is incomplete, it is returned to the permittee with information regarding its deficiencies.
Note: Section 9.1 states the following:
If the Pretreatment Program finds that an IU meeting either of the first two
criteria described above has no reasonable potential for adversely affecting
the POTW's operation or for violating any Pretreatment Standard or
Requirement, the Pretreatment Program may, on its own initiative or in
response to a petition from an IU, determine that such User should NOT be
considered a Non- Categorical SIU and should NOT be required to apply
for and be issued with a Permit.
If this occurs, these SIUs should be noted on the list of industrial users meeting the
criteria in 40 CFR 403.3 (v)(1)xiv and indicate that the Program has decided per 40
CFR 403.3 (v)(2) or (3) that such IU should not be considered an SIU. The changes
to the IU from being classified as an SIU to an IU should be reported to DWQ as a
non-substantial modification.
Note: Section 9.2 states the following:
The inclusion of the streamlining regulations in 40 CFR 403 has increased
the required oversight of Categorical Industrial Users (CIUs) by
Pretreatment Programs. Prior to this inclusion, all CIUs subject to
Categorical Pretreatment Standards under 40 CFR 403.6 and 40 CFR
Chapter I Subchapter N were considered to be SIUs subject to permitting.
Under the new regulations, a Pretreatment Program must now recognize
three oversight scenarios for CIUs.
21 of 42
This is not a requirement, and the Program does not have to oversee the three
scenarios for CIUs. These are options that SLC has decided to implement as part of
the Program.
Most of the changes to 40 CFR 403.6 did not increase the oversight of CIUs. EPA
provided flexibility for Programs to permit and regulate CIUs if the options met the
needs of the Program. The modification to 40 CFR 403.6 allows Programs to
choose some optional provisions previously not allowed for CIUs. However,
Programs do not have to implement these provisions if they feel the provision does
not meet the needs for permitting or regulating CIUs within the service area of the
Program. The provisions in 40 CFR 403.6 allow for additional flexibility for
implementing the Pretreatment Standards and Requirements for the CIUs. If SLC
feels this is a burden, the ordinance can be changed to remove these optional
provisions.
It is recommended that the wording “must” and “are not required” be changed to
“may” and “may not be required” regarding permitting NSCIUs or “Middle Tier”
CIUs.
Note: Section 16.5.4 states the following:
A TOMP may be approved by the City to exclude one, several or all 40
CFR-required parameters depending on the nature of the IU’s discharge). If
the IU discharges some TTO parameters, but does not discharge the
remaining TTO parameters required to be monitored, then the IU may
certify for those parameters not present in their discharge but cannot certify
for parameters present in the discharge (and must monitor and report for
these parameters). Once the TOMP is approved, the facility may limit the
TTOs for which they have to sample (or eliminate TTO monitoring
altogether) and must certify that they have operated in accordance with the
approved TOMP.
Guidance on implementing a BMP may not support the above information. When
implementing a BMP/TOMP/SMP, the plan is implemented, and sampling is no
longer required. However, the Program should continue to sample for the TTOs.
This is to ensure that the TOMP or SMP is being implemented. If the TTO being
sampled by the Program violates the limitation in the categorical standard, the
Program should evaluate the need to implement the TTO sampling or have the
permittee revise the TOMP or SMP. For more information regarding implementing
the TTO Pretreatment Standards, see the EPA Guidance Manual for Implementing
TTO Pretreatment Standards, September 1985.
Note: Section 16.5.5 states the following:
The minimum number of required aliquot samples used to make up a
composite sample should be included in the Permit. For composite
22 of 42
sampling, the Pretreatment Program uses time-proportional composite
sampling techniques or a series of grab samples that are ultimately mixed
together to form the final composite (with the exception of Volatile
Organics and Total Oil and Grease, in which 40 CFR Part 136 requires
individual grab samples to be collected and the individual results analyzed
and then the results averaged and reported). The specific sampling method
required should be indicated for each pollutant in the Permit.
Sampling for grab or time-proportional compliance sampling techniques rather than
flow-proportional compliance sampling techniques must meet the requirements of
40 CFR 403.12 (g)(3)xv. The following is the information from 40 CFR 403.13
(g)(3) regarding these requirements:
…For all other pollutants, 24-hour composite samples must be obtained
through flow-proportional composite sampling techniques, unless time-
proportional composite sampling or grab sampling is authorized by the
Control Authority. Where time-proportional composite sampling or grab
sampling is authorized by the Control Authority, the samples must be
representative of the Discharge and the decision to allow the alternative
sampling must be documented in the Industrial User file for that facility or
facilities…
SLC must ensure that justification is included in the permit file indicating that the
method authorized for the sampling is representative of the discharge. This includes
the method SLC is using to collect the samples. For more information regarding
sampling, see the EPA Webinar, Sampling: Dos and Don’ts, on 27 January 2021.
5.2. Recommendations
Documentation regarding whether SLC implements the recommendation should be
available to DWQ for review during future inspections. If SLC does not implement
the recommendation, outreach may occur regarding the need to implement the
recommendation.
If a recommendation in this section results in a change to an SLC Program
Document, it should be submitted to the DWQ Pretreatment Coordinator within a
year.
5.2.1. The permitting procedure, SOI PT-PER-01, indicated the following:
By State of Utah policy, the Permit may have to be public noticed depending
upon the specific monitoring requirements.
By State of Utah Policy, the Permit may have to be Public Noticed if it
contains BMPs.
23 of 42
DWQ has advised Programs that if requirements in the permit are not supported
by the legal authority, Local Limits or include additional requirements beyond
what DWQ and the governing body have approved for implementation by the
Program, then the permit should be public noticed. However, the Program must
determine whether documents that may deviate from those approved by DWQ
and the SLC Council for implementing the Program need to be public noticed.
If a BMP has not been public noticed or approved by the SLC Council or DWQ,
it is advised that the permit or document requiring a permittee to implement a
BMP be public noticed. This is to ensure the public, permittee, DWQ and other
interested parties have the opportunity to comment on the requirements.
If documents deviate from those approved by the SLC Council, it is
recommended that they be public notice. If this occurs, SLC should provide a
copy of the public notice to DWQ.
If a BMP is developed requiring IUs to meet requirements, it should be submitted
to DWQ during the public notice. This includes documents that will be
implemented as sector control programs not covered by the Program.
5.2.2. It is recommended that “sampling” be removed from the SOI PT-PER-01 zero-
discharge section on page 36 of 40. Instead, it should state “the alternative legal
method(s) of disposal of the process wastewater implemented by the industry.”
5.2.3. The SOI PT-PER-01 Section 19 stated “Water Reclamation Manger” rather than
“Water Reclamation Manager.” Because this is a typo, it does not need to be
submitted to DWQ per 40 CFR 403.18.
5.3. Recommendation
Documentation regarding whether SLC implements the recommendation should be
available to DWQ for review during future inspections. If SLC does not address the
recommendation, the information regarding the recommendation needing to be
addressed may be referred to the DWQ Compliance and Enforcement Section.
5.3.1. The application should include the priority pollutants list. The current permit
applications in Part 10 A.1 and 2. have information regarding the sampling
completed by the permittee based on the process or the data for the Local Limit
parameters. This limits the permittee to only those parameters listed. It is
recommended that the application be modified to require the permittee to note if
a parameter is present, suspected present or absent. This allows the permittee to
provide better information on the potential parameters of concern that may need
to be limited by the permit. See the EPA Industrial User Permitting Guidance
Manual 833-R-12-001 A September 2012 Appendix C Section F.
5.3.2. Section 22 of the SOI PT-PER-01 states the following:
24 of 42
The Permittee does not need to complete the “BMR” portions of the Permit
Application/BMR form when completing the form as a part of Permit
renewal.
When renewing the permit, permittees should complete all of the information on
the application/BMR. This ensures the permit writer understands the parameters
of concern. The permittee should also provide information regarding the priority
pollutants and the monitoring that has occurred since the facility submitted the
last application. Also, the EPA Industrial User Permitting Guidance Manual,
September 2012, Sections 2.11 and 4.1, supports submitting a complete
application.
Also, the permittee should update this information with each permit renewal. The
current application in Part 10 A. states that this is for new permittees. The
permittees should provide this data with each renewal. This will ensure that
sampling information not previously submitted is provided to the Program in the
renewal application.
This recommendation should be implemented within 120 days of receiving this
report.
6. REPORTING and REPORT SUBMITTALS
6.1. General Information
Permittees submitted reports per the permit requirements. SLC reviews the reports to
ensure the information submitted is complete. If information was missing from the
report, the reviews provide detailed information, including the action taken to correct the
information.
6.2. Requirements
Documentation regarding whether SLC implements the recommendation should be
available to DWQ for review during future inspections. If SLC does not address the
recommendation, the information regarding the recommendation needing to be
addressed may be referred to the DWQ Compliance and Enforcement Section.
6.2.1. The Meadow Gold slug control plan was found without information regarding the
description of discharge into the POTW per 40 CFR 403.8 (f)(2)(vi)(A). The plan
included detailed information regarding the discharge from each facility area. The
Meadow Gold slug control plan should be reviewed if information is included in
the plan per 40 CFR 403.8 (f)(2)(vi)(A); no further requirement is necessary for
the recommendation. However, if information is not in the plan regarding
discharging into the POTW, Meadow Gold should be required to resubmit the
plan per the requirement of the SLC procedure regarding the resubmittal of slug
25 of 42
control plans. This recommendation should be completed within 120 days of
receiving this report.
6.2.2. The Dominion Energy permit requires the permittee to have a slug control plan.
The permit should be modified to not require the plan or a plan must be submitted
per the permit requirements. This recommendation should be completed within
120 days of receiving this report.
7. MONITORING
7.1. General Information
SLC evaluates non-discharging facilities that are permitted as zero dischargers. This is
completed during inspections to ensure permittees are not discharging per the permit
requirements or the requirements of the categorical standard.
SLC has established protocols that include sampling procedures. All samples are
collected and analyzed in conformance with 40 CFR 136.
7.2. Recommendations
Documentation regarding whether SLC implements the recommendation should be
available to DWQ for review during future inspections. If SLC does not implement
the recommendation, outreach may occur regarding the need to implement the
recommendation.
If a recommendation in this section results in a change to the SLC Program
Document, it should be submitted to the DWQ Pretreatment Coordinator within a
year.
7.2.1. The following from SOI PT-INSP-01 Section 5.1 is an inaccurate statement:
Considering the USEPA and Utah Department of Water Quality (UDWQ)
monitor the number of permitted SIU’s in Significant Noncompliance
(SNC), and the City’s Pretreatment Program can be in regulatory
noncompliance if an excessive number (20 percent (%)) of permitted SIUs
are in SNC in any annual reporting year, the focus if each inspection should
be assessing user compliance with program requirements and educating the
IU/User of these requirements in an effort to prevent future violations.
SNC could occur for a Program if it does not adequately address SNC or public
notice an IU for SNC. Also, there is a criterion for failure to enforce standards,
local limits or reporting requirements. However, this is evaluated as the Program
failing to do this for 15% of the SNC SIUs and not for having 20% of the
permitted SIUs in SNC.
26 of 42
DWQ is basing this not being an accurate statement per the criteria for SNC in
the EPA database known as ICIS (Integrated Compliance Information System).
If there is a document that SLC is aware of that supports the information cited in
the SOI PT-INSP-01, please provide the document to DWQ.
7.2.2. It is recommended that unannounced inspections be incorporated into the
program based on the Permit Writer’s understanding of the facility. SOI PT-
INSP-01 Section 5.2.2 states that the pretreatment program manager should
approve an unannounced inspection.
As stated in the EPA Industrial User Inspection and Sampling Manual for POTWs
Section 2.7.4:
…During unannounced inspections the inspector may have the opportunity
to observe things that the facility has not had the chance to clean up or hide
(e.g., improperly stored chemicals, inadequate treatment), and to observe
the facility operating under normal conditions. When determining
compliance with pretreatment standards during both announced and
unannounced inspections, the inspector must ensure that the industrial user
is operating under normal circumstances at the time of the on-site inspection
in order to ensure any samples taken will be representative.
7.2.3. It is recommended that the bullet point on page 9 of 20 of the SOI PT-INSP-01
include “POTW Staff and the public.” The following is the information from the
bullet point on page 9:
IPP Program and related Permit requirements are intended to minimize
IU’s discharge from impacting the City’s collection system, Reclamation
Plant Processes and City’s compliance with UPDES Permit.
7.3. Recommendations
Documentation regarding whether SLC implements the recommendation should be
available to DWQ for review during future inspections. If SLC does not address the
recommendation, the information regarding the recommendation needing to be
addressed may be referred to the DWQ Compliance and Enforcement Section.
7.3.1. Some facilities are allowed to sample using timed composite sampling
techniques. Little was found in the file regarding the justification for the timed
sampling. The permit states that a minimum of 12 aliquots should be taken for
the composite sample. It does not state the time between aliquots. Information in
the file must justify utilizing timed composite sampling techniques per 40 CFR
403.12 (g)(3).
SLC must ensure that justification is included in the permit file indicating that the
method authorized for the sampling is representative of the discharge. This
27 of 42
includes the method SLC is using to collect the samples per the sampling Program
requirements, as well as the sampling being conducted by the permittee.
Additional aliquots are recommended to ensure that the sampling technique is
representative of the discharge. For more information regarding sampling, see the
EPA Webinar, Sampling: Dos and Don’ts, on 27 January 2021. In the webinar,
EPA stated that if the flow from the treatment system is in a steady state and timed
sampling is done with an aliquot taken every 15 minutes, it is consistent with
flow-proportional composite sampling.
7.3.2. Two facilities were not sampled within 365 days of the prior sampling event,
which must occur per the EPA requirements regarding yearly sampling. Based on
the review criteria, this was determined not to be SNC; however, SLC must
ensure that sampling events are completed within 365 days of the previous
sampling event.
8. INDUSTRIAL USER CHARACTERIZATION AND INSPECTIONS
8.1. General Information
The inspection reports that were reviewed were detailed. The reports provided
information on the pre-inspection, post-inspection and inspection information. The post-
inspection information included sending a letter to the facility regarding the observations
during the inspection and noting if any deficiencies needed to be addressed. If
deficiencies were noted, information was provided in the report indicating the time frame
for the permittee to address the issue.
8.2. Recommendations
Documentation regarding whether SLC implements these recommendations should
be available to DWQ for review during future inspections. If SLC does not
implement these recommendations, outreach may occur regarding the need to
implement the recommendation.
If a recommendation in this section results in a change to the SLC Program
Document, it should be submitted to the DWQ Pretreatment Coordinator within a
year.
The SOI PT-IWS does not include IUs that could potentially harm POTW workers. It is
recommended that another criterion be added to the list in section 4.2 D, which would be
“viii. The potential to discharge pollutants that could harm POTW workers or the public.”
8.3. Recommendations
Documentation regarding whether SLC implements the recommendation should be
available to DWQ for review during future inspections. If SLC does not address the
28 of 42
recommendation, the information regarding the recommendation needing to be
addressed may be referred to the DWQ Compliance and Enforcement Section.
Two facilities of the sixteen files that were reviewed were determined not to meet the
EPA requirement that inspections be completed within 365 days of the previous
inspection. Based on the review criteria, this was determined not to be SNC; however,
SLC must ensure that inspections are completed within 365 days.
It is recommended that the inspection information that is reviewed for the upcoming
inspections is gathered a month in advance rather than the 3rd Thursday before the
upcoming month. The following is stated on page 3 of 4 in the SOI PT-INSP-02:
By the 3rd Thursday of the month, a monthly inspection list report shall be
generated in Linko for the next month should be created by the Pretreatment
Program Staff from review of the “Events” Module, considering the Department
expectation to complete the inspection two weeks prior to the regulatory
mandated date.
9. ENFORCEMENT
9.1. General Information
The files included details regarding the actions taken to resolve compliance issues. This
included notes, calls and written correspondence regarding compliance and enforcement
actions taken by SLC.
9.2. Recommendations
Documentation regarding whether SLC implements the recommendation should be
available to DWQ for review during future inspections. If SLC does not implement
the recommendation, outreach may occur regarding the need to implement the
recommendation.
If a recommendation in this section results in a change to the SLC Program
Document, it should be submitted to the DWQ Pretreatment Coordinator within a
year.
Based on a review of the SLC ERP, information regarding Pass Through or Interference
is not stated in the ERP section starting on page 20. It is recommended that information
be included in the ERP for Pass Through and Interference as separate enforcement
actions in the section starting on page 20 of the ERP. Pass Through is only being
addressed as part of a noncompliance action regarding bypass. Interference is not
included in this section of the ERP as a noncompliance action.

i 40 CFR 403.3 (d) The term Approved POTW Pretreatment Program or Program or POTW
Pretreatment Program means a program administered by a POTW that meets the criteria
established in this regulation (§§ 403.8 and 403.9) and which has been approved by a
Regional Administrator or State Director in accordance with § 403.11 of this regulation.
ii 40 CFR 403.8 (a) POTWs required to develop a pretreatment program. Any POTW (or
combination of POTWs operated by the same authority) with a total design flow greater
than 5 million gallons per day (mgd) and receiving from Industrial Users pollutants which
Pass Through or Interfere with the operation of the POTW or are otherwise subject to
Pretreatment Standards will be required to establish a POTW Pretreatment Program unless
the NPDES State exercises its option to assume local responsibilities as provided for in §
403.10(e). The Regional Administrator or Director may require that a POTW with a design
flow of 5 mgd or less develop a POTW Pretreatment Program if he or she finds that the
nature or volume of the industrial influent, treatment process upsets, violations of POTW
effluent limitations, contamination of municipal sludge, or other circumstances warrant in
order to prevent Interference with the POTW or Pass Through.
40 CFR 403.8 (f) POTW pretreatment requirements. A POTW pretreatment program must be
based on the following legal authority and include the following procedures. These
authorities and procedures shall at all times be fully and effectively exercised and
implemented.
iii 40 CFR 403.18 Modification of POTW pretreatment programs.
(a) General. Either the Approval Authority or a POTW with an approved POTW
Pretreatment Program may initiate program modification at any time to reflect changing
conditions at the POTW. Program modification is necessary whenever there is a significant
change in the operation of a POTW Pretreatment Program that differs from the information
in the POTW's submission, as approved under § 403.11.
(b) Substantial modifications defined. Substantial modifications include:
(1) Modifications that relax POTW legal authorities (as described in § 403.8(f)(1)), except
for modifications that directly reflect a revision to this part 403 or to 40 CFR chapter I,
subchapter N, and are reported pursuant to paragraph (d) of this section;
(2) Modifications that relax local limits, except for the modifications to local limits for pH
and reallocations of the Maximum Allowable Industrial Loading of a pollutant that do not
increase the total industrial loadings for the pollutant, which are reported pursuant to
paragraph (d) of this section. Maximum Allowable Industrial Loading means the total mass
of a pollutant that all Industrial Users of a POTW (or a subgroup of Industrial Users
identified by the POTW) may discharge pursuant to limits developed under § 403.5(c);
(3) Changes to the POTW's control mechanism, as described in § 403.8(f)(1)(iii);
(4) A decrease in the frequency of self-monitoring or reporting required of industrial users;
(5) A decrease in the frequency of industrial user inspections or sampling by the POTW;
(6) Changes to the POTW's confidentiality procedures; and
(7) Other modifications designated as substantial modifications by the Approval Authority
on the basis that the modification could have a significant impact on the operation of the
POTW's Pretreatment Program; could result in an increase in pollutant loadings at the
33 of 42
POTW; or could result in less stringent requirements being imposed on Industrial Users of
the POTW.
(c) Approval procedures for substantial modifications.
(1) The POTW shall submit to the Approval Authority a statement of the basis for the
desired program modification, a modified program description (see § 403.9(b)), or such
other documents the Approval Authority determines to be necessary under the
circumstances.
(2) The Approval Authority shall approve or disapprove the modification based on the
requirements of § 403.8(f) and using the procedures in § 403.11(b) through (f), except as
provided in paragraphs (c) (3) and (4) of this section. The modification shall become
effective upon approval by the Approval Authority.
(3) The Approval Authority need not publish a notice of decision under § 403.11(e)
provided: The notice of request for approval under § 403.11(b)(1) states that the request
will be approved if no comments are received by a date specified in the notice; no
substantive comments are received; and the request is approved without change.
(4) Notices required by § 403.11 may be performed by the POTW provided that the
Approval Authority finds that the POTW notice otherwise satisfies the requirements of §
403.11.
(d) Approval procedures for non-substantial modifications.
(1) The POTW shall notify the Approval Authority of any non-substantial modification at
least 45 days prior to implementation by the POTW, in a statement similar to that provided
for in paragraph (c)(1) of this section.
(2) Within 45 days after the submission of the POTW's statement, the Approval Authority
shall notify the POTW of its decision to approve or disapprove the non-substantial
modification.
(3) If the Approval Authority does not notify the POTW within 45 days of its decision to
approve or deny the modification, or to treat the modification as substantial under
paragraph (b)(7) of this section, the POTW may implement the modification.
(e) Incorporation in permit. All modifications shall be incorporated into the POTW's
NPDES permit upon approval. The permit will be modified to incorporate the approved
modification in accordance with 40 CFR 122.63(g).
iv 40 CFR 403.8 (f)(1) Legal authority. The POTW shall operate pursuant to legal authority
enforceable in Federal, State or local courts, which authorizes or enables the POTW to
apply and to enforce the requirements of sections 307 (b) and (c), and 402(b)(8) of the Act
and any regulations implementing those sections. Such authority may be contained in a
statute, ordinance, or series of contracts or joint powers agreements which the POTW is
authorized to enact, enter into or implement, and which are authorized by State law. At a
minimum, this legal authority shall enable the POTW to:
(i) Deny or condition new or increased contributions of pollutants, or changes in the nature
of pollutants, to the POTW by Industrial Users where such contributions do not meet
applicable Pretreatment Standards and Requirements or where such contributions would
cause the POTW to violate its NPDES permit;
(ii) Require compliance with applicable Pretreatment Standards and Requirements by
Industrial Users;
(iii) Control through Permit, order, or similar means, the contribution to the POTW by each
Industrial User to ensure compliance with applicable Pretreatment Standards and
34 of 42
Requirements. In the case of Industrial Users identified as significant under § 403.3(v), this
control shall be achieved through individual permits or equivalent individual control
mechanisms issued to each such User except as follows.
(A)
(1) At the discretion of the POTW, this control may include use of general control
mechanisms if the following conditions are met. All of the facilities to be covered must:
(i) Involve the same or substantially similar types of operations;
(ii) Discharge the same types of wastes;
(iii) Require the same effluent limitations;
(iv) Require the same or similar monitoring; and
(v) In the opinion of the POTW, are more appropriately controlled under a general control
mechanism than under individual control mechanisms.
(2) To be covered by the general control mechanism, the Significant Industrial User must
file a written request for coverage that identifies its contact information, production
processes, the types of wastes generated, the location for monitoring all wastes covered by
the general control mechanism, any requests in accordance with § 403.12(e)(2) for a
monitoring waiver for a pollutant neither present nor expected to be present in the
Discharge, and any other information the POTW deems appropriate. A monitoring waiver
for a pollutant neither present nor expected to be present in the Discharge is not effective
in the general control mechanism until after the POTW has provided written notice to the
Significant Industrial User that such a waiver request has been granted in accordance with
§ 403.12(e)(2). The POTW must retain a copy of the general control mechanism,
documentation to support the POTW's determination that a specific Significant Industrial
User meets the criteria in paragraphs (f)(1)(iii)(A)(1) through (5) of this section, and a copy
of the User's written request for coverage for 3 years after the expiration of the general
control mechanism. A POTW may not control a Significant Industrial User through a
general control mechanism where the facility is subject to production-based categorical
Pretreatment Standards or categorical Pretreatment Standards expressed as mass of
pollutant discharged per day or for Industrial Users whose limits are based on the
Combined Wastestream Formula or Net/Gross calculations (§§ 403.6(e) and 403.15).
(B) Both individual and general control mechanisms must be enforceable and contain, at a
minimum, the following conditions:
(1) Statement of duration (in no case more than five years);
(2) Statement of non-transferability without, at a minimum, prior notification to the POTW
and provision of a copy of the existing control mechanism to the new owner or operator;
(3) Effluent limits, including Best Management Practices, based on applicable general
Pretreatment Standards in part 403 of this chapter, categorical Pretreatment Standards,
Local Limits, and State and local law;
(4) Self-monitoring, sampling, reporting, notification and recordkeeping requirements,
including an identification of the pollutants to be monitored (including the process for
seeking a waiver for a pollutant neither present nor expected to be present in the Discharge
in accordance with § 403.12(e)(2), or a specific waived pollutant in the case of an
individual control mechanism), sampling location, sampling frequency, and sample type,
based on the applicable general Pretreatment Standards in part 403 of this chapter,
categorical Pretreatment Standards, Local Limits, and State and local law;
35 of 42
(5) Statement of applicable civil and criminal penalties for violation of Pretreatment
Standards and requirements, and any applicable compliance schedule. Such schedules may
not extend the compliance date beyond applicable federal deadlines;
(6) Requirements to control Slug Discharges, if determined by the POTW to be necessary.
(iv) Require
(A) the development of a compliance schedule by each Industrial User for the installation
of technology required to meet applicable Pretreatment Standards and Requirements and
(B) the submission of all notices and self-monitoring reports from Industrial Users as are
necessary to assess and assure compliance by Industrial Users with Pretreatment Standards
and Requirements, including but not limited to the reports required in § 403.12.
(v) Carry out all inspection, surveillance and monitoring procedures necessary to
determine, independent of information supplied by Industrial Users, compliance or
noncompliance with applicable Pretreatment Standards and Requirements by Industrial
Users. Representatives of the POTW shall be authorized to enter any premises of any
Industrial User in which a Discharge source or treatment system is located or in which
records are required to be kept under § 403.12(o) to assure compliance with Pretreatment
Standards. Such authority shall be at least as extensive as the authority provided under
section 308 of the Act;
(vi)
(A) Obtain remedies for noncompliance by any Industrial User with any Pretreatment
Standard and Requirement. All POTW's shall be able to seek injunctive relief for
noncompliance by Industrial Users with Pretreatment Standards and Requirements. All
POTWs shall also have authority to seek or assess civil or criminal penalties in at least the
amount of $1,000 a day for each violation by Industrial Users of Pretreatment Standards
and Requirements.
(B) Pretreatment requirements which will be enforced through the remedies set forth in
paragraph (f)(1)(vi)(A) of this section, will include but not be limited to, the duty to allow
or carry out inspections, entry, or monitoring activities; any rules, regulations, or orders
issued by the POTW; any requirements set forth in control mechanisms issued by the
POTW; or any reporting requirements imposed by the POTW or these regulations in this
part. The POTW shall have authority and procedures (after informal notice to the
discharger) immediately and effectively to halt or prevent any discharge of pollutants to
the POTW which reasonably appears to present an imminent endangerment to the health
or welfare of persons. The POTW shall also have authority and procedures (which shall
include notice to the affected industrial users and an opportunity to respond) to halt or
prevent any discharge to the POTW which presents or may present an endangerment to the
environment or which threatens to interfere with the operation of the POTW. The Approval
Authority shall have authority to seek judicial relief and may also use administrative
penalty authority when the POTW has sought a monetary penalty which the Approval
Authority believes to be insufficient.
(vii) Comply with the confidentiality requirements set forth in § 403.14.
v 40 CFR 403.8 (f)(2) Procedures.
The POTW shall develop and implement procedures to ensure compliance with the
requirements of a Pretreatment Program. At a minimum, these procedures shall enable the
POTW to:
36 of 42
(i) Identify and locate all possible Industrial Users which might be subject to the POTW
Pretreatment Program. Any compilation, index or inventory of Industrial Users made under
this paragraph shall be made available to the Regional Administrator or Director upon
request;
(ii) Identify the character and volume of pollutants contributed to the POTW by the
Industrial Users identified under paragraph (f)(2)(i) of this section. This information shall
be made available to the Regional Administrator or Director upon request;
(iii) Notify Industrial Users identified under paragraph (f)(2)(i) of this section, of applicable
Pretreatment Standards and any applicable requirements under sections 204(b) and 405 of
the Act and subtitles C and D of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act. Within 30
days of approval pursuant to 40 CFR 403.8(f)(6), of a list of significant industrial users,
notify each significant industrial user of its status as such and of all requirements applicable
to it as a result of such status.
(iv) Receive and analyze self-monitoring reports and other notices submitted by Industrial
Users in accordance with the self-monitoring requirements in § 403.12;
(v) Randomly sample and analyze the effluent from Industrial Users and conduct
surveillance activities in order to identify, independent of information supplied by
Industrial Users, occasional and continuing noncompliance with Pretreatment Standards.
Inspect and sample the effluent from each Significant Industrial User at least once a year,
except as otherwise specified below:
(A) Where the POTW has authorized the Industrial User subject to a categorical
Pretreatment Standard to forego sampling of a pollutant regulated by a categorical
Pretreatment Standard in accordance with § 403.12(e)(3), the POTW must sample for the
waived pollutant(s) at least once during the term of the Categorical Industrial User's control
mechanism. In the event that the POTW subsequently determines that a waived pollutant
is present or is expected to be present in the Industrial User's wastewater based on changes
that occur in the User's operations, the POTW must immediately begin at least annual
effluent monitoring of the User's Discharge and inspection.
(B) Where the POTW has determined that an Industrial User meets the criteria for
classification as a Non-Significant Categorical Industrial User, the POTW must evaluate,
at least once per year, whether an Industrial User continues to meet the criteria in §
403.3(v)(2).
(C) In the case of Industrial Users subject to reduced reporting requirements under §
403.12(e)(3), the POTW must randomly sample and analyze the effluent from Industrial
Users and conduct inspections at least once every two years. If the Industrial User no longer
meets the conditions for reduced reporting in § 403.12(e)(3), the POTW must immediately
begin sampling and inspecting the Industrial User at least once a year.
(vi) Evaluate whether each such Significant Industrial User needs a plan or other action to
control Slug Discharges. For Industrial Users identified as significant prior to November
14, 2005, this evaluation must have been conducted at least once by October 14, 2006;
additional Significant Industrial Users must be evaluated within 1 year of being designated
a Significant Industrial User. For purposes of this subsection, a Slug Discharge is any
Discharge of a non-routine, episodic nature, including but not limited to an accidental spill
or a non-customary batch Discharge, which has a reasonable potential to cause Interference
or Pass Through, or in any other way violate the POTW's regulations, Local Limits or
Permit conditions. The results of such activities shall be available to the Approval
37 of 42
Authority upon request. Significant Industrial Users are required to notify the POTW
immediately of any changes at its facility affecting potential for a Slug Discharge. If the
POTW decides that a slug control plan is needed, the plan shall contain, at a minimum, the
following elements:
(A) Description of discharge practices, including non-routine batch Discharges;
(B) Description of stored chemicals;
(C) Procedures for immediately notifying the POTW of Slug Discharges, including any
Discharge that would violate a prohibition under § 403.5(b) with procedures for follow-up
written notification within five days;
(D) If necessary, procedures to prevent adverse impact from accidental spills, including
inspection and maintenance of storage areas, handling and transfer of materials, loading
and unloading operations, control of plant site run-off, worker training, building of
containment structures or equipment, measures for containing toxic organic pollutants
(including solvents), and/or measures and equipment for emergency response;
(vii) Investigate instances of noncompliance with Pretreatment Standards and
Requirements, as indicated in the reports and notices required under § 403.12, or indicated
by analysis, inspection, and surveillance activities described in paragraph (f)(2)(v) of this
section. Sample taking and analysis and the collection of other information shall be
performed with sufficient care to produce evidence admissible in enforcement proceedings
or in judicial actions; and
(viii) Comply with the public participation requirements of 40 CFR part 25 in the
enforcement of National Pretreatment Standards. These procedures shall include provision
for at least annual public notification in a newspaper(s) of general circulation that provides
meaningful public notice within the jurisdiction(s) served by the POTW of Industrial Users
which, at any time during the previous 12 months, were in significant noncompliance with
applicable Pretreatment requirements. For the purposes of this provision, a Significant
Industrial User (or any Industrial User which violates paragraphs (f)(2)(viii)(C), (D), or
(H) of this section) is in significant noncompliance if its violation meets one or more of the
following criteria:
(A) Chronic violations of wastewater Discharge limits, defined here as those in which 66
percent or more of all of the measurements taken for the same pollutant parameter during
a 6-month period exceed (by any magnitude) a numeric Pretreatment Standard or
Requirement, including instantaneous limits, as defined by 40 CFR 403.3(l);
(B) Technical Review Criteria (TRC) violations, defined here as those in which 33 percent
or more of all of the measurements taken for the same pollutant parameter during a 6-month
period equal or exceed the product of the numeric Pretreatment Standard or Requirement
including instantaneous limits, as defined by 40 CFR 403.3(l) multiplied by the applicable
TRC (TRC = 1.4 for BOD, TSS, fats, oil, and grease, and 1.2 for all other pollutants except
pH);
(C) Any other violation of a Pretreatment Standard or Requirement as defined by 40 CFR
403.3(l) (daily maximum, long-term average, instantaneous limit, or narrative Standard)
that the POTW determines has caused, alone or in combination with other Discharges,
Interference or Pass Through (including endangering the health of POTW personnel or the
general public);
38 of 42
(D) Any discharge of a pollutant that has caused imminent endangerment to human health,
welfare or to the environment or has resulted in the POTW's exercise of its emergency
authority under paragraph (f)(1)(vi)(B) of this section to halt or prevent such a discharge;
(E) Failure to meet, within 90 days after the schedule date, a compliance schedule
milestone contained in a local control mechanism or enforcement order for starting
construction, completing construction, or attaining final compliance;
(F) Failure to provide, within 45 days after the due date, required reports such as baseline
monitoring reports, 90-day compliance reports, periodic self-monitoring reports, and
reports on compliance with compliance schedules;
(G) Failure to accurately report noncompliance;
(H) Any other violation or group of violations, which may include a violation of Best
Management Practices, which the POTW determines will adversely affect the operation or
implementation of the local Pretreatment program.
vi 40 CFR 403.8 (f)(5) The POTW shall develop and implement an enforcement response plan.
This plan shall contain detailed procedures indicating how a POTW will investigate and
respond to instances of industrial user noncompliance. The plan shall, at a minimum:
(i) Describe how the POTW will investigate instances of noncompliance;
(ii) Describe the types of escalating enforcement responses the POTW will take in response
to all anticipated types of industrial user violations and the time periods within which
responses will take place;
(iii) Identify (by title) the official(s) responsible for each type of response;
(iv) Adequately reflect the POTW's primary responsibility to enforce all applicable
pretreatment requirements and standards, as detailed in 40 CFR 403.8 (f)(1) and (f)(2).
vii 40 CFR 403.8 (f)(6) The POTW shall prepare and maintain a list of its Industrial Users meeting
the criteria in § 403.3(v)(1). The list shall identify the criteria in § 403.3(v)(1) applicable
to each Industrial User and, where applicable, shall also indicate whether the POTW has
made a determination pursuant to § 403.3(v)(2) that such Industrial User should not be
considered a Significant Industrial User. The initial list shall be submitted to the Approval
Authority pursuant to § 403.9 or as a non-substantial modification pursuant to § 403.18(d).
Modifications to the list shall be submitted to the Approval Authority pursuant to §
403.12(i)(1).
viii 40 CFR 403.8(f)(3) Funding.
The POTW shall have sufficient resources and qualified personnel to carry out the
authorities and procedures described in paragraphs (f) (1) and (2) of this section. In some
limited circumstances, funding and personnel may be delayed where
(i) the POTW has adequate legal authority and procedures to carry out the Pretreatment
Program requirements described in this section, and
(ii) a limited aspect of the Program does not need to be implemented immediately (see §
403.9(b)).
ix 40 CFR 403.8 (f)(4) Local Limits. The POTW shall develop Local Limits as required in §
403.5(c)(1), or demonstrate that they are not necessary.
39 of 42
x 40 CFR 403.3 (e)
The term Best Management Practices or BMPs means schedules of activities, prohibitions
of practices, maintenance procedures, and other management practices to implement the
prohibitions listed in § 403.5(a)(1) and (b). BMPs also include treatment requirements,
operating procedures, and practices to control plant site runoff, spillage or leaks, sludge or
waste disposal, or drainage from raw materials storage.
40 CFR 403.5(c)(4)
POTWs may develop Best Management Practices (BMPs) to implement paragraphs (c)(1)
and (c)(2) of this section. Such BMPs shall be considered local limits and Pretreatment
Standards for the purposes of this part and section 307(d) of the Act.
xi 40 CFR 403.3 (v)(3)
Upon a finding that an Industrial User meeting the criteria in paragraph (v)(1)(ii) of this
section has no reasonable potential for adversely affecting the POTW's operation or for
violating any Pretreatment Standards or requirement, the Control Authority may at any
time, on its own initiative or in response to a petition received from an Industrial User or
POTW, and in accordance with 40 CFR 403.8(f)(6), determine that such Industrial User is
not a Significant Industrial User.
40 CFR 403.8 (f)(6)
The POTW shall prepare and maintain a list of its Industrial Users meeting the criteria in
§ 403.3(v)(1). The list shall identify the criteria in § 403.3(v)(1) applicable to each
Industrial User and, where applicable, shall also indicate whether the POTW has made a
determination pursuant to § 403.3(v)(2) that such Industrial User should not be considered
a Significant Industrial User. The initial list shall be submitted to the Approval Authority
pursuant to § 403.9 or as a non-substantial modification pursuant to § 403.18(d).
Modifications to the list shall be submitted to the Approval Authority pursuant to §
403.12(i)(1).
xii 403.16 Upset provision.
(a) Definition. For the purposes of this section, Upset means an exceptional incident in
which there is unintentional and temporary noncompliance with categorical Pretreatment
Standards because of factors beyond the reasonable control of the Industrial User. An Upset
does not include noncompliance to the extent caused by operational error, improperly
designed treatment facilities, inadequate treatment facilities, lack of preventive
maintenance, or careless or improper operation.
(b) Effect of an upset. An Upset shall constitute an affirmative defense to an action brought
for noncompliance with categorical Pretreatment Standards if the requirements of
paragraph (c) are met.
(c) Conditions necessary for a demonstration of upset. An Industrial User who wishes to
establish the affirmative defense of Upset shall demonstrate, through properly signed,
contemporaneous operating logs, or other relevant evidence that:
(1) An Upset occurred and the Industrial User can identify the cause(s) of the Upset;
(2) The facility was at the time being operated in a prudent and workman-like manner and
in compliance with applicable operation and maintenance procedures;
40 of 42
(3) The Industrial User has submitted the following information to the POTW and Control
Authority within 24 hours of becoming aware of the Upset (if this information is provided
orally, a written submission must be provided within five days):
(i) A description of the Indirect Discharge and cause of noncompliance;
(ii) The period of noncompliance, including exact dates and times or, if not corrected, the
anticipated time the noncompliance is expected to continue;
(iii) Steps being taken and/or planned to reduce, eliminate and prevent recurrence of the
noncompliance.
(d) Burden of proof. In any enforcement proceeding the Industrial User seeking to establish
the occurrence of an Upset shall have the burden of proof.
(e) Reviewability of agency consideration of claims of upset. In the usual exercise of
prosecutorial discretion, Agency enforcement personnel should review any claims that
non-compliance was caused by an Upset. No determinations made in the course of the
review constitute final Agency action subject to judicial review. Industrial Users will have
the opportunity for a judicial determination on any claim of Upset only in an enforcement
action brought for noncompliance with categorical Pretreatment Standards.
(f) User responsibility in case of upset. The Industrial User shall control production or all
Discharges to the extent necessary to maintain compliance with categorical Pretreatment
Standards upon reduction, loss, or failure of its treatment facility until the facility is
restored or an alternative method of treatment is provided. This requirement applies in the
situation where, among other things, the primary source of power of the treatment facility
is reduced, lost or fails.
xiii § 403.17 Bypass.
(a) Definitions.
(1) Bypass means the intentional diversion of wastestreams from any portion of an
Industrial User's treatment facility.
(2) Severe property damage means substantial physical damage to property, damage to the
treatment facilities which causes them to become inoperable, or substantial and permanent
loss of natural resources which can reasonably be expected to occur in the absence of a
bypass. Severe property damage does not mean economic loss caused by delays in
production.
(b) Bypass not violating applicable Pretreatment Standards or Requirements. An Industrial
User may allow any bypass to occur which does not cause Pretreatment Standards or
Requirements to be violated, but only if it also is for essential maintenance to assure
efficient operation. These bypasses are not subject to the provision of paragraphs (c) and
(d) of this section.
(c) Notice.
(1) If an Industrial User knows in advance of the need for a bypass, it shall submit prior
notice to the Control Authority, if possible at least ten days before the date of the bypass.
(2) An Industrial User shall submit oral notice of an unanticipated bypass that exceeds
applicable Pretreatment Standards to the Control Authority within 24 hours from the time
the Industrial User becomes aware of the bypass. A written submission shall also be
provided within 5 days of the time the Industrial User becomes aware of the bypass. The
written submission shall contain a description of the bypass and its cause; the duration of
the bypass, including exact dates and times, and, if the bypass has not been corrected, the
41 of 42
anticipated time it is expected to continue; and steps taken or planned to reduce, eliminate,
and prevent reoccurrence of the bypass. The Control Authority may waive the written
report on a case-by-case basis if the oral report has been received within 24 hours.
(d) Prohibition of bypass.
(1) Bypass is prohibited, and the Control Authority may take enforcement action against
an Industrial User for a bypass, unless;
(i) Bypass was unavoidable to prevent loss of life, personal injury, or severe property
damage;
(ii) There were no feasible alternatives to the bypass, such as the use of auxiliary treatment
facilities, retention of untreated wastes, or maintenance during normal periods of
equipment downtime. This condition is not satisfied if adequate back-up equipment should
have been installed in the exercise of reasonable engineering judgment to prevent a bypass
which occurred during normal periods of equipment downtime or preventative
maintenance; and
(iii) The Industrial User submitted notices as required under paragraph (c) of this section.
(2) The Control Authority may approve an anticipated bypass, after considering its adverse
effects, if the Control Authority determines that it will meet the three conditions listed in
paragraph (d)(1) of this section.
xiv 40 CFR 403.3 (v)(1) Except as provided in paragraphs (v)(2) and (v)(3) of this section, the
term Significant Industrial User means:
(i) All Industrial Users subject to Categorical Pretreatment Standards under 40 CFR
403.6 and 40 CFR chapter I, subchapter N; and
(ii) Any other Industrial User that: discharges an average of 25,000 gallons per day or
more of process wastewater to the POTW (excluding sanitary, noncontact cooling and
boiler blowdown wastewater); contributes a process wastestream which makes up 5
percent or more of the average dry weather hydraulic or organic capacity of the POTW
Treatment plant; or is designated as such by the Control Authority on the basis that the
Industrial User has a reasonable potential for adversely affecting the POTW's operation
or for violating any Pretreatment Standard or requirement (in accordance with 40 CFR
403.8(f)(6)).
xv 40 CFR 403.12 (g)(3) The reports required in paragraphs (b), (d), (e) and (h) of this section must
be based upon data obtained through appropriate sampling and analysis performed during
the period covered by the report, which data are representative of conditions occurring
during the reporting period. The Control Authority shall require that frequency of
monitoring necessary to assess and assure compliance by Industrial Users with applicable
Pretreatment Standards and Requirements. Grab samples must be used for pH, cyanide,
total phenols, oil and grease, sulfide, and volatile organic compounds. For all other
pollutants, 24-hour composite samples must be obtained through flow-proportional
composite sampling techniques, unless time-proportional composite sampling or grab
sampling is authorized by the Control Authority. Where time-proportional composite
sampling or grab sampling is authorized by the Control Authority, the samples must be
representative of the Discharge and the decision to allow the alternative sampling must be
documented in the Industrial User file for that facility or facilities. Using protocols
42 of 42
(including appropriate preservation) specified in 40 CFR part 136 and appropriate EPA
guidance, multiple grab samples collected during a 24-hour period may be composited
prior to the analysis as follows: For cyanide, total phenols, and sulfides the samples may
be composited in the laboratory or in the field; for volatile organics and oil & grease the
samples may be composited in the laboratory. Composite samples for other parameters
unaffected by the compositing procedures as documented in approved EPA methodologies
may be authorized by the Control Authority, as appropriate.

b. Each monitored non-residential customer shall be charged a monthly service charge
equal to the fixed monthly charge together with the monitored wastewater flow measured during
the billing period as shown on the Salt Lake City consolidated fee schedule. The charges for
wastewater pollutants shall be billed as shown on the Salt Lake City consolidated fee schedule.
c. Each unmonitored non-residential customer and each multi-family residential customer
shall be charged a monthly service charge equal to the monthly service charge together with the
flow rate per the Salt Lake City consolidated fee schedule. The monthly water meter reading for
sewer billing purposes shall be equal to 70 percent (70%) of total water usage for the month.
d. In cases where little or no water is used during one or more of the winter months, such
that the average metered usage during such winter months cannot be reasonably assumed to
reflect typical monthly usage for an account, the director may use other co nsumptive information
specific to such account to determine the average winter consumption.
e. Meter readings for sewer billing purposes shall only include meters which measure
water entering the sewer system.
f. In the case of sewer users whose water usage is based in whole or in part on water
sources other than the city, the city may require installation of a city approved meter, at the
sewer user's expense, on the well(s) or other sources of water supply, fo r measurement by the
city during the winter months to determine the sewer user's water use during the winter months.

a. For monitored and unmonitored non-residential customers, new accounts shall be
treated in the same manner as established accounts under subsections C1b and C1c, respectively,
of this section.
F. Service Charge Adjustment:
1. The director may provide for adjustments as needed to ensure equitable service charges.
Such adjustments may be made where excessive quantities of culinary water pass through the
water meter but are consumed on the premises and do not enter the sewer system. In each such
instance, the user will have the burden of providing evidence of such inequities by showing that
the quantity of water not entering the sewer, but passing through the meter, exceeds thirty
percent (30%) of the total flow in order to merit such consideration by the director. Each such
adjustment proposed to be made by the director shall first be presented to the public utilities
advisory committee for review and recommendation, following which review and
recommendation the director shall make a final determination.
2. Additionally, the director may make adjustments under the following conditions due to
faulty inside plumbing. All adjustments will be determined by prior usage. When the charge is
not based on preceding usage and has not been established on average winter consumption, the
charge will be determined as outlined in this section or its successor. Only one adjustment in
total is allowed per account and under the following conditions:
a. When defective plumbing has caused the average winter water consumption to exceed
the previous year's average by twenty-five percent (25%) or more, there may be an adjustment
made based on prior usage. The customer must provide to the director evidence that plumbing
repairs were made within thirty (30) days of issuance of the bill in which the defective plumbing
caused an increase in usage. Such evidence may be in the form of a statement detailing the
repairs made and the date of completion. The adjustment shall be made following the
determination by the director that the repairs have resulted in decreased water consumption.
b. In the event of a customer's unexplainable large increase in water consumption during
the consecutive months of December, January, and February, the director may make adjustments
to any account when there has been a twenty-five percent (25%) increase or more in usage
during the winter months. Any adjustment may be made only after an in-depth review of the
account has been completed and based solely on the merits of each individual request and the
circumstances surrounding the request.
c. All adjustments will be determined by the sewer usage of the preceding year. When the
usage for the preceding year is not established on average winter consumption, the charge will be
determined by other consumptive data or comparative users.
G. Sewer Service Fees: The director shall charge, and the city shall collect the fees shown on
the Salt Lake City consolidated fee schedule.
1. Special industrial and commercial uses, including car washes, laundromats, etc., as
determined by the city's public utilities director, shall be charged the fee shown on the Salt Lake
City consolidated fee schedule per equivalent fixture unit, as specified in the uniform plumbing
code.
2. Connection fees on property with prior development:
a. When a residential building is demolished and the existing lateral is used for the same
property, there is no new sewer connection fee for the property when residential use or building
type is same as prior to demolition. After five (5) years from date of demolition no credit will be
given for prior sewer connection fees. After five (5) years from demolition the property owner
will be required to pay all connection fees.
b. When a commercial building such as a hotel, motel, industrial building, etc., is
demolished the sewer fee shall be based and charged on new additional use pursuant to the

1. The director may provide for adjustments as needed to ensure equitable service charges.
Such adjustments may be made where excessive quantities of culinary water pass through the
water meter, but are consumed on the premises and do not enter the sewer system. In each such
instance, the user will have the burden of providing evidence of such inequities by showing that
the quantity of water not entering the sewer, but passing through the meter, exceeds twenty thirty
percent (20 30%) of the total flow in order to merit such consideration by the director. Each such
adjustment proposed to be made by the director shall first be presented to the public utilities
advisory committee for review and recommendation, following which review and
recommendation the director shall make a final determination.
2. Additionally, the director may make adjustments under the following conditions due to
faulty inside plumbing. All adjustments will be determined by prior usage. When the charge is
not based on preceding usage and has not been established on average winter consumption,
winter average the charge will be determined as outlined in this section or its successor. Only
one adjustment in total is allowed per account and under the following conditions:
a. When defective plumbing has caused the average winter water consumption to exceed
the previous year's average by twenty-five percent (25%) or more, there may be an adjustment
made based on prior usage. The customer must provide to the director evidence that plumbing
repairs were made within thirty (30) days of notification from the city issuance of the bill in
which the defective plumbing caused an increase in usage. Such evidence may be in the form of
a statement detailing the repairs made and the date of completion. The adjustment shall be made
following the determination by the director that the repairs have resulted in decreased water
consumption.
b. In the event of a customer's unexplainable large increase in water consumption during
the consecutive months of November through March December, January, and February of any
year, the director may make adjustments to any account when there has been a twenty -five
percent (25%) increase or more in usage during the winter months. Any adjustment may be made
only after an in-depth review of the account has been completed, and based solely on the merits
of each individual request, and the circumstances surrounding the request.
c. The director may make adjustments to the account of a single- family residence, if the
user or a user's tenant who has also signed the agreement for water service has temporary
additional (2 or more) people living at the residence during all or part of the "winter meter
readings" period and it has caused the average winter water consumption to exceed the previous
year's average by twenty five percent (25%) or more. Such adjustment may be made by using the
following guidelines:
(1) For one month or less, no adjustment will be allowed;
(2) For more than one month to twelve (12) months, the charge will be based on the new
average winter water use for the number of months said additional people were in the residence;
(3) For all months following the period when said additional people are not in the
residence, the charge will be based upon the previous year's established average use, or the fee
shall be as outlined in subsection F2d of this section, or its successor subsection.
dc. All adjustments will be determined by the sewer charge usage of the preceding year.
When the charge usage for the preceding year is not established on winter average winter
consumption, the charge will be determined as outlined in subsection F2c of this section, or its
successor subsection by other consumptive data or comparative users.
G. Sewer Service Fees: The director shall charge, and the city shall collect the fees shown on
the Salt Lake City consolidated fee schedule.
1. Special industrial and commercial uses, including car washes, laundromats, etc., as
determined by the city's public utilities director, shall be charged the fee shown on the Salt Lake

SECTION 19. Amending Section 17.81.200. That Section 17.81.200 of the Salt Lake
City Code (System of Rates and Charges) shall be, and hereby is, amended to read as follows:
17.81.200: SYSTEM OF RATES AND CHARGES:
A. Generally: There are hereby imposed stormwater sewer service fees, rates and charges,
effective for all billing periods after and including July 1, 2011, and thereafter until further
amended, on the owner of each developed parcel within the city, except: 1) governmentally
owned streets, and 2) parcels on which are located stormwater sewer facilities operated and
maintained by, or for, the county. The charges shall fund the administration, planning, design,
construction, water quality programming, op eration, maintenance and repair of existing and
future stormwater sewer facilities.
B. Residential Service Charges: Residential service charges for use of the stormwater sewer
system shall be as shown on the Salt Lake City consolidated fee schedule.
C. Undeveloped Parcels: Undeveloped parcels shall not be assessed a stormwater service
charge.
D. Other Parcels: The charge for all other parcels shall be based upon the total square footage
of measured impervious surface, divided by two thousand five hundred (2,500) square feet, or
one ERU, and rounded to the nearest whole number. The actual total monthly service charge
shall be computed by multiplying the total ERUs for a parcel by the monthly rate shown on the
Salt Lake City consolidated fee schedule.
E. Credit For On Parcel Mitigation: Nonresidential parcels with on site stormwater detention
or retention facilities are eligible for a service charge credit upon application to the director by
the person owning the parcel, or such person's agent. The amount of credit, if any, shall be no
more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the full stormwater charge per the Salt Lake City
consolidated fee schedule, with the exception of entities that are individually permitted under the
Utah Water Quality Act and federal Clean Water Act. , for on site detention or retention facilities
is based on the following formula:
P = 0.25 + 0.70 (factor) + 0.05 (permit)
The foregoing symbols have the following meanings:
P Percentage of total service charge to be applied to each parcel.
0.25 Represents 10 percent for department administration cost plus 15 percent for utility operation and
maintenance costs (half of the estimated total cost for utility operation and maintenance).
0.70 Represents 15 percent for utility operation and maintenance (half of the estimated total cost for
utility operation and maintenance) plus 55 percent for a utility capital improvement program.
Factor Restricted discharge (Qr) from a developed parcel divided by the peak discharge (Qp) from the
same developed parcel which would result if the flow restriction facilities were not in place.
0.05 Represents 5 percent for NPDES stormwater permit for the parcel.
Permit The rate adjustment, which applies when the parcel has an NPDES discharge permit from the
state, will be equal to 0. When the parcel is included in the city NPDES permit, this rate
adjustment is equal to 1.
1. Mitigation credit is available only for those non-residential parcels whose stormwater
facilities meet the city's design and maintenance standards.
2. If the stormwater facilities are not properly maintained or if related structures are
modified from an approved design, the mitigation credit may be modified or terminated by the
city.
3. The director shall provide a complete on-site mitigation evaluation at the request and
expense of the person owning the parcel, or the owner's duly authorized agent.
F. Low-Income Abatement: A person who owns a single-family residential parcel and is
qualified for an abatement of the minimum monthly water charge pursuant to
section 17.16.670 of this title shall be eligible for a fifty percent (50%) reduction of the service
charge for such parcel
G. Nonservice Abatement: A parcel which is not directly or indirectly benefited by the
stormwater sewer utility shall be entitled to an abatement of the service charge for said parcel. In
order to receive such abatement, the owner, or the owner's agent, shall apply, in writing, to the
director pursuant to section 17.81.500 of this chapter.
SECTION 20. That a copy of the amended Salt Lake Code shall be published on the
official Salt Lake City website.
SECTION 21. That this ordinance shall become effective July 1, 2025.

COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
CITY COUNCIL of SALT LAKE CITY
TO:City Council Members
FROM: Austin Kimmel,
Public Policy Analyst
DATE:May 20, 2025
RE: ORDINANCE UPDATES TO TITLE 17 TO COMPLY WITH RATE STUDY AND
REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS
ISSUE AT-A-GLANCE
The Salt Lake City Department of Public Utilities (SLCDPU) proposes several ordinance amendments to Salt
Lake City Code Title 17: PUBLIC SERVICES. The amendments are proposed for two primary reasons, as
explained in this report.
First, several of the amendments are necessary to implement the proposed utility rates for Public Utilities in
Fiscal Year 2025-26 (FY26). These rates are informed by the 2024 Comprehensive Water, Wastewater, and
Stormwater Rate Study, which the City Council was briefed about on January 7, 2025.
Second, additional amendments are required to ensure compliance with State and Federal regulations regarding
the Public Utilities' Pretreatment Program. In 2023, SLCDPU underwent an audit by the State's Division of
Water Quality (DWQ) in its enforcement role of the City's Pretreatment Program. That audit identified several
regulatory requirements for Public Utilities necessitating additional amendments to Title 17.
Please refer to pages 79 – 93 of the Administrative Transmittal for a redlined version of Title 17.
Goal of the briefing: To review the proposal for updating Title 17 to comply with the City’s proposed water,
sewer, and stormwater rate structures, and to comply with regulatory requirements.
ADDITIONAL & BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Key Definition: Pretreatment Program: a regulatory framework that oversees industrial wastewater
discharged into the City's sanitary sewer system (publicly owned treatment works; POTW). Industrial customers
are required to treat wastewater to reduce or eliminate pollutants before discharge into the POTW. This program
is governed by the Salt Lake City Ordinance, Utah Administrative Code, and the Federal Clean Water Act.
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE 2024 RATE STUDY & PROPOSED FY26 UTILITY RATES
In 2024, the Department of Public Utilities conducted a comprehensive utility rate study with FCS Group, a
consulting firm specializing in municipal rate and fee setting. The study continues Public Utilities' practice of
conducting rate evaluations every five to six years, which is a necessary review in order to ensure the structure
meets the Department’s revenue needs, and adjusts based on projected capital and operating increases. The
study resulted in several recommended changes to more accurately reflect the actual cost of service delivery

across different customer classes and amendments to Salt Lake City’s Consolidated Fee Schedule (CFS). Upon
adoption of the FY26 CFS and the FY26 SLCDPU Budget, several Title 17 amendments will be necessary.
Stormwater Credits: The City currently offers a stormwater credit program that reduces stormwater
rates for non-residential customers in exchange for installing on-site stormwater mitigation facilities.
The lower rates range from zero to more than 75 percent of the applicable rate, with the average existing
credit per parcel being 61 percent. As proposed in FY26, Public Utilities will reduce the maximum credit
to 25% for new developments seeking stormwater credits. Per the Rate Study, the credit reduction will
be phased in over three years for existing customers participating in this program. The proposed
amendment to section 17.81.200: SYSTEM OF RATES AND CHARGES updates the ordinance to reflect
this new maximum credit.
Average Winter Consumption (AWC): Monthly sewer rates are calculated from the previous year’s
average winter water consumption (AWC). Public Utilities proposes using only the months of
December, January, and February (three months, instead of the current six months of November
through March) to determine AWC. Amendments to 17.72.030: SCHEDULE 1; RATES AND FEES: will
implement this new definition into the ordinance. This will reduce the amount of time used in
calculating the AWC and more closely aligns with current best practices in establishing AWC for our
region. The AWC calculation for December, January, and February 2025 will be reflected in customer
bills starting July 1, 2026.
New high-strength surcharges: Some industries in Salt Lake City discharge higher levels (or
strengths) of pollutants into the sewer system, which carry a greater treatment cost. New regulations
now require the City to reduce the amount of nutrients in its wastewater discharge, which in turn is a
driver for the construction of the City’s new sewer treatment plant. The new sewer rates introduce
charges for nutrients, specifically ammonia (NH3) and total phosphorus (TP) in industrial discharges,
alongside other existing high-strength charges. Chapters 17.32.061 and 17.32.451 are added for this
purpose. The surcharges, with the single monthly service charge, allow the department to maintain
fairness and equity by identifying and monitoring select customers who cause a higher burden on the
wastewater conveyance and treatment systems.
Simplified customer classes: Amendments to 17.72.030 introduce new definitions for the following
customer classes: Monitored Customer, Unmonitored Customer, Multi-family residential, non-
residential, and residential. This change attempts to simplify the sewer classification system. With new
high-strength surcharges for nutrients, the current system could create over 1,200 unique classes if
customer classes are not simplified.
Volumetric charge: New language is added into 17.72.030 to define that the monthly water meter
reading for sewer billing purposes shall equal 70% of the total water used for unmonitored non-
residential and multi-family residential customers. As indicated in the Rate Study, the 70% figure is a
standardized allowance for water not returned to the City’s sewer system due to consumption.
PRETREATMENT AUDIT REPORT RECOMMENDATIONS
Public Utilities staff has not identified any elements of the 2023 audit ordinance amendment
recommendations that would financially impact rate payers.

TITLE 17 CLARITY
During its assessment of Title 17, Public Utilities identified areas of the code that are outdated and no longer
necessary, or could be improved with greater clarity.
Public Utilities identified four ordinance updates that are indirectly related to the Rate Study's structural rate
changes, which are necessary to implement the new rates and provide clarity. Public Utilities provided the
following information to help explain these proposed changes:
Addition of 17.16.655: Abatements: This section is added to more clearly and directly reflect the
existing CFS and practice of applying abatements for low-income relief based on property tax
abatement status. Current City Code addressing this is written in a confusing manner. This is one tool
that helps to address the affordability goals of the City’s rate policies.
Removal of 17.16.345: Lot Hydrant Fee: The use of lot hydrants for construction no longer meets
development standards and has not been used for quite some time. It is a legacy ordinance that is not
included in the existing CFS.
Addition to 17.16.100: Connections From Mains and 17.16.400 Meter Maintenance
Charges: With the increase in infill development, the current standard of placing meters in a park
strip does not always apply, and issues arise with meters being placed in areas we can’t access them.
This clarifies where meters can be located and gives the Department some flexibility to make case by
case determinations.
Addition of 17.16.220 (c): This will help implement changes in both the water and sewer rate
structures. For example, with the changes in the sewer rate structure for non-residential and multi-
family properties, some sites with a single meter used for both indoor use and outdoor watering may
experience a sewer charge that is based on higher outdoor irrigation, greatly increasing the sewer
charge. An example being an HOA with a single meter that is used for indoor water use, and the
watering of individual and shared outdoor spaces. Separate irrigation meters are not charged for
sewer and receive a target water budget. In some situations, it would be beneficial for the City and the
customer if separate meters are employed. This will more fairly and accurately account for indoor
and outdoor water use and apply sewer charges.

2 Vision Zero Corridors & Safety Improvements Citywide 2026
Transportation Division
Traffic fatalities and serious injuries are preventable, not just an inevitable result of traveling in
a city. While all crashes cannot be avoided, proven safety measures can help turn fatal crashes
into bumps or fender benders.
Safe Streets and Roads For All program (SS4A) that was formulated, after being funded by
Congress, under the leadership of former SLC Transportation Director Robin Hutcheson.
https://highways.dot.gov/safety/proven-safety-countermeasures
The SS4A program funded a regional Comprehensive Safety Action Plan (CSAP) through the
Wasatch Front Regional Council, with Salt Lake City as a partner.
https://wfrc.org/programs/csap/ The CSAP identifies key corridors in Salt Lake City where
safety improvements are likely to result in fewer and less severe crashes. Many of these are
Redwood Road, 900 West, and 800 South. There are many additional corridors around the
City that are in need of safety investments Some of those corridors will be addressed through
other projects in the pipeline (such as the 600 North reconstruction planned in 2025).
Since the pandemic, Salt Lake City has averaged 19 traffic fatalities a year on surface streets
(not including interstates). Since 2021 we have 66 recorded roadway fatalities in Salt Lake City
of which approximately 45% killed someone walking or riding their bike. This failing roadway
system needs to be fixed.
This program seeks targeted funds to focus on corridors with a significant crash history, and
with characteristics that can be made safer with infrastructure investments.

This project will fund the replacement of three failing restrooms of Salt Lake City's 47 park
restrooms. Detailed design will be based upon recommendations from the FY 24/25 CIP-
funded citywide restroom study, upon completion (anticipated completion by the end of 2025
or early 2026). Also, engagement conducted for the 2019 Needs Assessment showed that the
number one requested improvement for Public Lands, over all else, was safe, well-maintained
and open restrooms. This project was ranked by the Parks, Natural Lands, Urban Forestry and
Trails Advisory Board (PNUT Board) as the highest priority for funding this year.
Currently, many restrooms in the Public Lands' inventory are unsafe, closed, or unusable year-
round, or for portions of the year, when they are intended to be open. New restrooms will be
safer, easier to maintain, less susceptible to vandalism, open more often and more predictably,
as well as be more welcoming for park users. The below locations are proposed for potential
new restrooms, based on asset condition, accessibility and ADA needs, investment equity, and
high levels of safety concerns based on Park's maintenance staff experience. Three restrooms
will be selected prior to design, and based on the above criteria, efficiencies with other projects
to enable cost savings, and highest safety concerns:
Fairmont Park, northeast restroom
Liberty Park, near the new Rotary Play Park
Riverside Park, near 600 North
Cottonwood Park
Jordan Park, near the skatepark
Herman Franks Park, both are in need of replacement

Funding will bring park infrastructure into legal compliance with the 1990 Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA), which is federal civil rights law, and the 2010 ADA Standards for
Accessible Design.
In this first round of what Public Lands and the Mayor's Office ADA Coordinator anticipate will
be a recurring and programmatic request, three types of park infrastructure at 10 parks (at
least one park in each Council District) will be improved to or beyond the aforementioned
standards: (1) site arrival points, (2) pedestrian access routes, and (3) playgrounds and
accessible ground surfacing under play areas.
Prioritization and selection of the 10 parks included in this first round's application were based
on project readiness, public usage and engagement (see Appendix F, p. 28 of the SETP),
Plan (SETP):
- Riverside Park (Council District 1)
- Sorensen Multi-Cultural Center's fields and playground (CD2)
- Jordan Park (CD2)
- 11th Avenue Park (CD3)
- Lindsey Gardens Park (CD3)
- Victory Park (CD4)
- Ballpark Playground (formerly People's Freeway Park on West Temple St, CD5)
- Wasatch Hollow Park (CD6)
- Parley's Way Park (CD7)
- Parley's Historic Nature Park.
Additionally, failure to remove barriers excludes children and adults with disabilities from fully
participating in park activities, further limiting their access to health and social benefits.
If funding is left over, additional replacement or repair of asphalt, concrete, wood, pavers,
metal, or other structural materials for bridges, sidewalks, parking lots, trails, roads, and
pavers within parks would ensure smooth, ADA-compliant surfaces for all.

The aeration system at Liberty Lake in Liberty Park is in disrepair and is nonfunctional. As a
result, the water quality is generally poor, and the lake is intermittently closed for safety and
well-being of all park visitors. The stagnant water and shallow depth also increases water
temperature, and increases algal blooms which are harmful to park users, dogs and wildlife
within the area.
Repair of the aeration system, coupled with dredging of Liberty Lake will improve water
quality of the lake, water quality of Red Butte Creek downstream of Liberty Park (and in turn
the Jordan River), and improve user experience and the health of flora, fauna, and park
visitors. It will also significantly reduce maintenance costs and obligations, and will
reinvigorate recreational uses of the Lake, also contributing to economic success of the Liberty
Park concessionaire and improving visitor experience.
6 700 North (2200 West to Redwood Road)
Engineering Division
700 North is a vital transportation west side connection; from housing developments on
Redwood to I-215 to industrial and airport general aviation. This project will not only repave
the deteriorated street surface, but add pedestrian and transit enhancements and safety
features, transforming the corridor for all users.
The 700 North Corridor Transformation project was selected by the Wasatch Front Regional
Council for construction funding in 2027. This CIP request will provide part of the local match
($1,680,600 required) in order to obtain $3,000,000 Federal funding programmed for this
project.
7 Public Way Concrete
Engineering Division
This annual program addresses deteriorated or defective concrete sidewalks, accessibility
ramps, curb and gutter, retaining walls, etc. in the public way through saw-cutting, slab
jacking, or removal and replacement. Funding for this vital program in the last 5 years has
averaged 63%. Providing a fully accessible public right-of-way is an unfunded federal mandate
through the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990.
5 Street Reconstruction 2026
Engineering Division
This annual program funds the vital reconstruction of deteriorated City streets, including street
pavement, curb and gutter, sidewalk, drainage improvements as necessary, and appropriate
complete streets bicycle, pedestrian and transit access improvements. The program meets all
federal Americans With Disability Act (ADA) requirements, which are always triggered with a
complete reconstruction.

Landscaping
Public Lands Department
This climate-forward project to replace up to 20 acres of aged irrigation systems will help
shape a water and resource-conscious future for many of our parks and public lands. It has two
essential parts: improve irrigation efficiency, and replace some turf areas with low-water,
regionally-appropriate plantings. The environmental, infrastructure, and public lands benefits
of these changes are far-reaching.
years old. They use more water and cost more to maintain than newer systems. Improved or
completely new irrigation systems can help Salt Lake City build more resilient, shady, and
enjoyable spaces in preparation for a hotter, drier future. Even if the plant selection remains
the same, new irrigation systems will use less water, require less maintenance, break less often,
keep existing and future trees healthier, and last another 30+ years. During installation,
projects may add trees and convert some turf landscaping to more waterwise options. These
two strategies can significantly reduce water use and increase resiliency.
The Department has identified priority sites to initiate changes and develop new standards for
waterwise, tree-friendly irrigation improvements within two different types of public lands. It
should be noted that this part of the funding request will not cover all of the public lands
system's needs.
Where practicable, replace turf with low-water, regionally-appropriate plantings: Updating
irrigation systems is also an opportunity to identify and make changes to the different kinds of
areas and plant cover in our parks and public lands. Low use and passive areas should be
converted into regionally appropriate, waterwise plants requiring less maintenance. There is
still a need for conventional turf that can withstand heavy use, such as playfields. These areas
should be irrigated separately for efficient use of water.
10 Bridge Preservation Program
Engineering Division
Salt Lake City is responsible for 55 bridges. Twenty-three of those are vehicle bridges, most
crossing either the Jordan River or the Surplus Canal. UDOT inspects these vehicle bridges
every two years and provides the city with a basic condition report. The city is responsible for
performing appropriate maintenance activities based on statements in the UDOT report. City
Engineering has prepared an ongoing bridge maintenance strategy with the objective of
extending the functional life of these structures, and extending the time between major repairs.
The requested funds will be used to address needed repairs and routine maintenance.

playground
7. Spoke Road Resurfacing ($64,860) - resurface and improve safety and predictability of the
road and intersection just north of the pond.
In 1957, with the incorporation of Sugar House Park, Salt Lake City, and Salt Lake County
made a contractual agreement to jointly own the park property and appropriate funds for
facilities. The Sugar House Park Authority depends on these appropriations from SLC and
SLCo to carry out the park's purpose as an equitable Regional Park. Salt Lake City's 50%
investment in these capital project requests and deliver 100% of the reward to Salt Lake City
residents.
Priorities of the park are to continue with the Pavilion Replacement Program with pavilion #4
of 7, pay fees, meet codes, provide safe drinking water, pay stormwater impact fees, improve
safety and accessibility, reduce water use and maintenance costs, and protect kids and prolong
the useful life of existing equipment. These projects are critical for the access, safety, inclusion,
and enjoyment of Sugar House Park patrons and will deliver community benefits, support
sustainability efforts, and continue Salt Lake City's and Salt Lake County's decades-long
collaborative funding and management agreement.

Facilities Division
The Facility Renewal and Deferred Asset Management Initiative for Fiscal Year 2026 (FY26) is
a targeted effort aligned with the 10-year plan. Our goal is to strategically manage the existing
backlog of deferred assets by categorizing and prioritizing them based on building and
component criticality. This involves dividing the current backlog into three equal parts,
enabling us to address an approximately consistent number of assets per year. Additionally, we
aim to proactively tackle 50% of incoming deferred assets to prevent further accumulation.
This focused approach ensures efficient resource allocation and sets the foundation for
sustained facility enhancement over the coming years.
13 Traffic Signal Replacements & Upgrades 2026
Transportation Division
Salt Lake City's Traffic Signal Replacement and Upgrade Program has not been adequately
funded for years. As a result, traffic signals throughout the city are falling into failing condition,
requiring many patchwork repairs to their electronics and wiring each year. When a traffic
signal fails, it is not as obvious as a pothole -- unless the signal pole rusts through and the
signal falls over, which can happen. More frequently when a traffic signal fails, it no longer
accurately detects motor vehicle and bicycle traffic. This means that the signal then has to be
in additional traffic delays, congestion, and may contribute to road rage, red-light running, and
crashes. Signals can also fail in that they require frequent staff attention to physical repairs
and/or resetting the signal's computers.
For the past several years, the traffic signal program has sought to fund 6 signal replacements
per year and 5 upgrades. This level of funding has been needed each year for 10 years.
However, since only zero, one or two signals have been funded each year, this program
continues to fall further behind.
This financially constrained request of $4 million seeks to fund full replacement of 6 ranked
signals in failing condition with structural and/or equipment deficiencies, plus upgrades to
detection and/or communications equipment. Based on the current costs of signals, this
request should be $5 million.

The Funding our Future Transit Capital Program leverages outside funds from UTA to install
bus shelters, benches, trash cans, and partner on the development of mobility hubs and
accessible first/last mile connections to transit. This program implements two of the key
recommendations of the Transit Master Plan, seeking to make all transit stops accessible, safe,
and comfortable for people of all ages and abilities. This is also required by federal law,
particularly when streets are repaved or reconstructed.
After Salt Lake City constructs a concrete bus stop pad, UTA pays for and installs the stop
amenities and maintains them for the life of the assets.
Also as outlined in the Transit Master Plan, a highly visible "frequent service" brand and
bus stops throughout the city. These investments in branding and enhanced stations can help
achieve the Transit Master Plan goal of providing a safe and comfortable transit access and
waiting experience.
Some of the new shelters are now equipped with lighting, which will make passengers who are
waiting more visible to operators, as well as to increase safety and security while they are
waiting.
15 Missing Sidewalks & Bikeway Network Gaps 2026
Transportation Division
This program will implement one of five key moves identified in Connect SLC, the Citywide
Transportation Plan (adopted by the City Council in 2024) -- to retrofit existing streets with
walking and bicycling facilities as well as adding strategically selected segments of trails, to
create a complete network. Recent opportunistic projects, including those in the 2018 streets
bond, have made great progress. From the perspective of someone walking or bicycling,
however, these new projects are not connected seamlessly to other facilities or each other. This
annual program will connect these gaps.
Gaps are of particular safety concern because someone walking or bicycling may need to
"brave" a section of street without a sidewalk or bikeway to get to their destination.
Short segments of sidewalks are missing all over the city -- the equivalent of sidewalk OCI 0.
This year's program is likely, for example, to address a missing sidewalk near a school on L
Street in the Avenues and one or more missing sidewalks in the Glendale Neighborhood
identified in a community-council created active transportation plan.
Existing roadways without bike infrastructure, despite having had a Complete Street policy for
over 17 years, will be selected based on gaps in the network. Gaps will be addressed using
inexpensive materials like paint, bollards, and/or separation provided by parked vehicles,
similar to projects implemented in the last couple years on 200 East and 300 East. An
emphasis will be placed on bike lanes with physical separation, where possible.
Addressing these gaps may seem like "new" infrastructure. In most cases, however, people
bicycling and walking are already using these roadways without the benefit of complete
infrastructure. If the overall condition of a roadway were graded for "completeness" instead of
potholes, such locations would be "poor" to "failing."

This application seeks funding to complete a study and detailed design to expand the Jordan
Park Skatepark.
Nestled within the Glendale neighborhood of Salt Lake City lies a cultural cornerstone beloved
by locals and renowned among skateboarders nationwide - Jordan Skatepark, affectionately
known as "9th and 9th". For over 20 years, this iconic space has been a sanctuary for skaters, a
hub for community building, and a vital thread in the fabric of Glendale.
begun to reveal cracks in its foundation. With a surge in popularity over the years, the park
finds itself bursting at the seams, struggling to accommodate the ever-growing groups of
skaters who flock to it.
16 Street Overlays 2026
Engineering Division
This annual program funds the overlay of City streets that have not yet fallen to the level of
deterioration where full reconstruction is required. Overlays include mill and overlay of street
pavement, spot curb and gutter and sidewalk replacement, drainage improvements as
necessary, and appropriate complete streets bicycle and pedestrian access improvements.
Overlays are of particular interest from a cost savings perspective, because streets of this
condition are in their last possible years before a considerably more expensive, full
reconstruction will become inevitable. This is analogous to an old house that needs its wooden
siding replaced. A few more years of rot, and you will need to replace all the framing too. A lot
more expensive.
The program incorporates federal Americans With Disability Act (ADA) requirements, such as
sidewalk curb ramps and bus stop access, which are triggered with an overlay project.

This citywide program aims to address the most common resident complaint to Transportation
staff - speeding vehicles. It uses a data-driven & equitable prioritization process for the
implementation of traffic calming improvements in the areas most in need. This year's funding
request is for three zones. This program is scalable; additional funding would allow
Transportation to move through the 113 total zones more quickly. At the current rate of 3-4
zones per year, the program will take around 25-30 years to address all of the areas of the city.

18 GREENbike Federal Grant Match 2026; Bike Rack Replacements 2026
Transportation Division
Salt Lake City's bike share system, GREENbike, has received nearly $860,000 in federal funds
that require a $60,000 city match. This funding will be used to replace old, rusting, falling-
apart stations and bikes. GREENbike's oldest equipment is over 12 years old and has been
exposed to weather and the public 24/7/365. Of the 50 stations in Salt Lake system, 23 are at
the end of their lifespan; parts are no longer available for repairs. Over 130,000 individuals
have taken hundreds of thousands of rides, mashing buttons on stations, yanking or slamming
bikes into docks, or dropping bikes. Deteriorated bikes can create unsafe conditions for riders,
and stations may unexpectedly fail which can lead to personal safety concerns for people
walking from a further station than anticipated. While GREENbike is rebuilding bikes as much
as possible and cobbling together stations out of old parts, ultimately both bikes and stations
need to be replaced. CIP is not for equipment. Bikes are equipment. Bike Stations are eligible.
This funding request also includes $20,000 to replace 20+ year old bike racks owned by the
City on the public way. Racks have been hit by cars, mangled, or simply rusted out, with little
to no attention to maintenance. While this may seem minor, in at least one instance a rusted
bike rack fell over, injuring a child and leading to a payout by the city. Racks that have been
damaged beyond use have simply been removed, rather than replaced. The priority of this
request is maintenance and replacement If funds allow, some new bike racks may be installed
at business or customer request. This is maintenance and not Capital Maintenance and should
be part of the Operational Budget.
In addition to permanent bike racks, the City has a program for 15 years to seasonally replace
one car parking space with a bike rack for 10 bicycles. This is called a "bike corral." Most of the
city's racks are damaged, may be unsafe to use, and do not make a good impression. This
for new corrals will be considered.

Constituent Application; Transportation Division
I've lived on the corner of Richmond and Zenith with my family since 2021. My family walks
across Richmond daily to get to the daycare on another corner. Many people, including kids,
families, and elderly, walk across Richmond to get to daycare, parks, bus stops, the grocery
store, and school - Richmond runs through the Nibley Park School District and the 213 bus,
which services Highland High School, Westminster University, and The U, has north- and
south-bound stops at Richmond and Zenith. Pedestrian traffic is only likely to increase as more
apartment buildings and businesses are opened in the growing Brickyard area.
Despite all the pedestrian traffic, Richmond remains a 5-lane street - a road design the city and
Sugarhouse are working to replace to improve pedestrian and cyclist safety. There is only a set
of flashing pedestrian yield signs at Richmond and Zenith, which drivers either don't notice or
choose to disregard. My family and I often stand at the Zenith corner so long, waiting for all 5
lanes to stop, that we have to hit the pedestrian crosswalk button multiple times.
In 3 years, I've witnessed at least 5 car accidents, including a car rear-ending a stopped bus and
a car rear-ending another car that stopped for a pedestrian using the crosswalk. Our backyard
fence along Richmond is destroyed because a car went through it. Countless drivers have
almost hit other cars or pedestrians, including parents with strollers and kids. Neighbors who
signed my CIP petition used the words "scary", "nightmare", and "dangerous" to describe
crossing Richmond.
My CIP application aims to make the Richmond/Zenith intersection safe for pedestrians with
the installation of a HAWK signal. The Transportation Division confirmed a HAWK signal is
the next tier of pedestrian safety for the intersection. Adding a HAWK signal on Richmond will
slow traffic and make it safer and more attractive for the growing population in the area to
bike, walk, and use transit.

This project proposes, but is not limited to, replacing two to three of Salt Lake City's
approximately 110 concrete or asphalt sport courts used for tennis, pickleball, basketball, and
other activities. The targeted locations and courts include:
Westpointe Park Basketball Court: The current basketball court is undersized for the
aging and in need of replacement. Expanding and updating the court will better meet
community needs by providing modern, high-quality amenities to an underserved population.
Adding an artistic element to the court design could further enhance the sense of community
and support local identity.
Riverside Park Tennis Courts: These asphalt courts are showing significant wear, including
cracks and peeling surfacing, which hinder playability. Replacing these courts and/or
converting some to pickleball courts would improve accessibility, ensure safety, and offer a
more enjoyable recreational environment for the community.
Liberty Park Volleyball Court: The volleyball court surfacing at Liberty Park is also
deteriorating. As part of a potential public/private partnership, this court may be converted
into a street soccer court. To support this transition, resurfacing the court is recommended to
ensure a durable and safe play area.
aging facilities to create safe and engaging spaces for residents. Other court
replacement/renovation projects should also be considered, especially if higher priority
projects are identified after the initial application and funding process is complete. Alternate
locations to consider include Sunnyside Park basketball court, Warm Springs Park tennis
courts, Madsen Park basketball court, and Victory Park/10th East Senior Center tennis courts.
23 Playground Replacements
Public Lands Department
Replace and upgrade playground equipment and surfacing that are beyond their safe and
serviceable life at up to four parks.
Playgrounds typically last 20-25 years. Salt Lake City has 79 playgrounds. Replacing four per
year will ensure that children are safer, more engaged, and more consistently able to access
play features near their homes and schools. This programmatic, annual funding request
includes playground, surfacing, minor design, permitting, and community engagement costs.
Four of the following playgrounds (in alphabetical order) will be selected based on asset
condition, accessibility/ADA needs, and investment equity: 6th East Mini Park, 11th Avenue
Park, Davis Park, Lindsey Gardens Park, Parley's Way Park, Pugsley Ouray Park, Riverside
Park, Victory Park.

The curbing & irrigation systems for these medians has fallen into serious disrepair, causing a
cascading series of issues affecting the space. During major events at the U, & day to day due to
& drive over the medians, often breaking sprinkler heads & causing irrigation failures. This
failure in irrigation has caused the die off of many large, mature trees, as well as the failed
limited usable open space for East Central residents, this simple fix would provide a major
immediate and long-term improvement to the quality of life, longevity, and beauty of the
neighborhood. It would also significantly reduce long term maintenance costs and reduce
water usage/water loss.
This project seeks to install new curbing around each island to prevent cars from driving across
the turf & will allow the soil to be raised to match the grade of the top of the root ball of the
existing trees. Replacing the irrigation systems & planting a significant number of new trees
supplementing the urban forest that remains will provide a major impact on urban heat
reduction, as well as reducing long term irrigation & water use as more turf areas are shaded,
experiencing less soil moisture loss. (See attached "1200 E. Island Rehabilitation -Overall
Plan")
The tree planting portion of the project is in support of the "Trillion Tree Campaign" in an
effort to aid in enhancing SLC's air quality. This project seeks to establish a healthy succession
tree plan replacing the dying or lost trees, as well as drastically increasing the species diversity
of what is currently planted. This phase seeks to quadruple the tree count over these spaces,
planting species recommended by SLC Urban Forestry to reduce water needs, promote
longevity, increase species diversity, & emphasize resilience to a changing climate.
24 Central City 600 East Byway Safety Improvements
Constituent Application; Transportation Division
The 600 East Byway Safety Improvements CIP aims to make safety improvements to 600 East
between 900 South at Liberty Park to the connection to N Street at South Temple. 600 East is
one of Salt Lake City's first neighborhood byways; however, this section has seen few safety
upgrades apart from improved crossings at 800 South and 900 South. In some parts of the
route, there are shared bike lane markings with no traffic calming to force slow speeds (South
Temple to 200 South and 600 South to 900 South). Between 200 South and 600 South, there
are standard painted bike lanes with no traffic calming. This area has higher traffic volumes
destinations. This project would install traffic calming throughout the route, improve walking
and biking crossings, and improve the bike lanes at key locations. 600 East is a very important
active transportation connection for the Central City community. It provides direct access to 5
grocery stores, a school, multiple retail and dining clusters, Liberty Park, lots of housing, and
completes a connection from the Lower Avenues through Central City to Liberty Wells. This
to SLC's goal of zero deaths and severe injuries by 2035, and reduce emissions for SLC's
sustainability goals.

The Riverside Basketball Court is a community hub that promotes physical activity and social
interaction. However, the current condition of the court is deteriorated, and outdated, affecting
its usability and safety. This proposal outlines the need for renovation and the benefits of this
project.
Objectives-
Enhance facility to a full court NBA regulation size. Updating the aesthetics of the basketball
court and adding amenities to make it user friendly.
This would improve the overall playing experience for community members as well as foster
community engagement through recreational activities.
Scope of Work-
*Court Construction: Install durable, full court with a weather resistant surface. Mark lines for
both full and half court play. Customize with an original art mural.
*Hoop Replacement: Install new, adjustable basketball hoops to accommodate players of all
ages and skill levels.
*Additional Amenities: Install fencing, benches, trash cans to enhance the user experience
We've met and gathered input and suggestions from local residents, city council member Dan
Dugan and Arts Council staff member Renato Olmedo-Gonzales regarding the renovations.
This will ensure that the project meets the needs and preferences of those who use the court.
Renovating the Riverside Basketball Court will significantly enhance our community's
recreational facilities, promote healthy lifestyles, and foster social connections. We respectfully
request approval for this Capital Improvement Project to ensure a safe and enjoyable
environment for our Rose Park Community.

This application is submitted for, and on behalf of, the Liberty Wells Community Council.
There has been active discussion at council meetings with area residents, working to formulate
this application, with the ultimate goal of finding solutions to slow traffic traveling through the
council boundaries. The proposed project is for the addition of traffic calming measures within
the Liberty Wells community - specifically on 300 E, 400 E, and 600 E between 1700 S and
2100 S. The community has suffered under the onslaught of vehicles traveling north and south
on these streets ignoring the posted speed limit through the residential area. There are
residents in the area that have been asking Salt Lake City to explore, and provide, remedy for
the vehicles speeding through the neighborhood for over 18 years. The electronic driver
feedback boards on 400 E regularly display vehicle MPH speeds in the 30s to upper 40s, even
though the posted speed limit is 20 MPH. Our initial CIP proposal also included 200 E and
500 E, but the expected budget amount provided by the Transportation department was so
high that we knew our application would most likely be rejected. In discussion with residents,
the project area was scaled back with the rationale that 200 E has multiple curves that
naturally work to slow traffic and 500 E already has raised crosswalks that were added when
the roadway was reconstructed, along with it being a feeder route with a higher speed limit.
Included are photos of vehicles that were traveling through the area at high/unsafe speeds and
ended up flipping over onto the vehicle roof.
30 Downtown Farmers Market - Upgraded Electrical Service
Constituent Application; Public Lands Department
Our proposed project would fund new electrical service to meet needs of the Downtown
Farmers Market (DTFM) other community organizers planning events in the Pioneer Park
neighborhood and add capacity for continued growth of the market. To maintain the size and
scope of the current market during park renovations, and retain our loyal customer base the
market will be moving to the streets surrounding Pioneer Park. One of the biggest hurdles we
are facing as the market moves to the streets is a solution to power access for our 20+ prepared
food vendors. For the past 33 years we have been able to operate without the need for
individual gas powered generators, which has reduced noise and air pollution/exhaust, helping
us further our Waste Wise mission and create a better atmosphere at the market.
We have collaborated closely with Public Lands on our move to the streets during construction,
and to come up with permanent power solutions for our market vendors in the street. We have
considered adding electrical service to the park strips around Pioneer Park on 400 West and
300 South, but both of those locations come with a variety of hurdles including damaging the
root zones of historic trees. Considering these issues the best solution is to add new electrical
service to the median on 300 South. This power would help facilitate a successful move of the
market to city streets while the park is under construction, as well as provide additional power
options for market vendors in the future when it returns to the park (current park plans
include electrical service for only 8 vendors). We foresee closures of 300 South and 400 West
and use of the new electrical service being part of market operations and park activations into
the future. We also believe that new electrical service in the 300 South median opening
opportunities for additional holiday and event lighting, and additional street activation.

one block to Redondo Avenue. Most of the "Overhead approach" driveways on the east side of
the street are in equally poor condition and need to be replaced.
32 Sweet Streets Bike Network Gap Filling
Constituent Application; Transportation Division
The bike network safety CIP aims to revisit existing bike routes and make improvements at key
areas, such as busy intersections, high stress bike lanes, and filling gaps in the network. While
newly completed projects include safety elements like traffic calming, buffered lanes, protected
lanes, and intersection improvements, older projects are lacking these elements, leading to
high stress, unsafe routes. In other areas, the lack of a safe crossing could hinder the bike route
utility, leading to its disuse by people biking. This project intends to focus on the bigger picture
of the bicycling network, unlike other projects like Livable Streets, which focus on limited
zones and isolated improvements. The project will also consider markings, signage,
beautification/art, and wayfinding to aid in navigation and encourage bicycling. The CIP
supports several City initiatives, such as Vision Zero - zero serious injuries or deaths by 2035,
the Pedestrian & Bicycle Master Plan, the Complete Streets Ordinance, and a recent technical
assistant grant (Accelerated Mobility Playbook) which will help accelerate this project. Overall,
this project will expand the safe transportation options for Salt Lakers, promote active
mobility, health, and well being, and reduce congestion on our streets.

Powered Pedestrian Activated Flashers
Constituent Application; Transportation Division
Pedestrian Safety requirements within the East Central Community Council Area.
East Central has been identified as one the most walkable neighborhoods within Salt Lake City
(University of Utah/9th & 9th/Trolley Square/Downtown), it includes the highest transit
ridership routes (2/1300/Trax), the high percentage of traffic between the U/Downtown & the
highest rental rate within the city (73%). In addition, given our location next to the U/stadium,
anticipated growth of the U seeking to increase student population by 10,000, the number of
visitors housed within our area annually & during the 2002 Olympics, the ECC has established
this plan to ready our neighborhood to be not only inviting but safe. We appreciate SLC's
treatment of the ECC hot spots to date. Two new locations have been identified as extremely
dangerous to our community requiring pedestrian safety treatment. We are seeking pedestrian-
activated flashers at these locations. As a community, we are prioritizing pedestrian safety to
ensure that our neighborhood is not only visually appealing but also accessible & safe.
As the world prepares for the 2034 Olympics in Salt Lake City, the East Central Community
Council is embarked on an ambitious ten-year plan that will enhance our neighborhood's
aesthetic appeal and foster a stronger sense of community as we prepare to greet the world.
Given its location central in the heart of the City, imagine East Central as an inviting and safe
neighborhood complete with tree-lined streets, lush green spaces, community gathering places
that caters to residents and visitors alike and a sense of pride that radiates from every property.
This effort will not only enhance the neighborhood's aesthetic appeal but also foster a stronger
sense of community that leaves a lasting legacy for generations to come.
This is the vision we are bringing to life in East Central.

This proposal will (1) help to secure the 1893 Fisher Mansion, a city-owned and currently
vacant property, and (2) move this resource closer to serving as a catalyst for economic
development, community engagement, and pride on Salt Lake City's West Side.
The Fisher Mansion and surrounding property were purchased in 2006 by Salt Lake City to
complete the Jordan River Trail. In 2023, the city completed the restoration of the Fisher
Mansion Carriage House (located on the mansion's grounds), which now houses Public Lands
Department staff. In 2022, the Salt Lake City Council budgeted $3 million to structurally and
seismically stabilize the mansion.
This stabilization, currently scheduled to begin in spring 2025, will repair and strengthen the
Fisher Mansion's foundations, walls, and roof. There is not enough funding in this $3 million
budget, however, to secure the building via new soffits and facia, repair broken windows, or to
bring the stone porch balustrade up to public safety code.
New soffits, facia, and stone balustrades are necessary to weatherproof the Fisher Mansion and
allow the public to safely access this building. All of these elements require immediate
attention and are considered by Salt Lake City architects to be essential repairs, regardless of
the mansion's future occupancy. This application requests funding to pay for these repairs.
Additional site improvements will allow for continued and expanded use of the grounds, and
improve functionality and safety of the Jordan River boat access and the Jordan River Parkway
and Trail, and compliments the Emerald Ribbon Action Plan.
As funds are available, limited restoration of some doors and windows will improve safety,
security and access to the building, and further the ongoing full restoration for eventual
occupancy. Artwork as a temporary feature on the boarded coverings will highlight community,
culture and history.
35 Neighborhood Alley Way Repavement (#4195) / Repave Alley #4195
Constituent Application; Engineering Division
This project aims to repave the local alleyway, creating a safe and accessible alternative parking
solution for homeowners and improving the overall aesthetics and functionality of the
neighborhood. The repaving will address the current state of disrepair, ensuring a smoother
surface, proper drainage, and increased safety for pedestrians and vehicles alike.
By investing in the repaving of the local alleyway, the community will experience a range of
benefits that not only address immediate concerns but also contribute to the long-term health,
safety, and prosperity of the neighborhood. The collaboration of the community in this project
demonstrates a collective commitment to enhancing the quality of life for all residents and
ensuring the neighborhood remains a desirable place to live for years to come.

This project would aim to increase safety at intersections around the city while also making it
easier to use modes of transportation outside of cars. The basic idea is to daylight intersections
to increase visibility that may otherwise be blocked by parked cars (sometimes illegally so)
using bike racks or scooter parking zones with physical infrastructure to prevent car parking in
these places. Physical infrastructure would also provide potential space for artists to create art.

39 First Encampment Park
Constituent Application; Public Lands Department
The First Encampment Park is in its 28th year and is a treasure in the Liberty Wells
Community but needs some capital improvements. Through funding provided by the Parks
Department, a novel path forward is being developed to present the historical information
etched on the boulders about the first pioneer settlers in the valley, and the damaged plaques
and signage on the monuments are being replaced. This assistance has been greatly
appreciated and has enabled us to move forward in our CIP requests for security and safety
enhancements to preserve the park's infrastructure which has deteriorated over the years.
Since 1997, new technology has improved providing possible upgrades for a more secure
environment.
Therefore, our CIP goals are:
- Overhaul the irrigation system to better support turf, trees and new native plantings
- Replace non-native and non-historic plantings with water-wise legacy plants; replant the
Southwest corner of the park with native plants
prevent standing water and improve drainage
- Replace pavers for 300 sq feet of park pathways
- Update light poles and electrical capability with LED lighting for visitor security
- Replace in-ground ornamental lighting needed for three plaques
- Provide motion-censored pedestrian lighting
- Improve upheaval of the sidewalk on 1700 South and park strip to improve accessibility and
legal compliance with ADA

This project implements traffic calming measures on 800 W and improvements on Navajo and
Emery Streets, from 1300 S/California Avenue to 800/900 S, enhancing pedestrian and cyclist
safety in the Glendale neighborhood. The project is phased to distribute efforts across multiple
years based on available funding.
The primary goal is creating a safer urban environment for all users, especially pedestrians and
cyclists. Phase 1 focuses on 800 W, a major connector between the 9-Line and California Street
bike lanes that currently lacks traffic calming measures and connects to the Sorenson
Multicultural Center. Phase 2 integrates Navajo and Emery Streets into the Neighborhood
Byways system, building on planned Livable Zone 12 improvements.
Phase 1 Projects:
--- Seven speed humps along 800 W between 900 S and 1300 S, providing physical speed
reduction while maintaining bike access and emergency vehicle passage.
Phase 2 Projects:
--- Emery/California intersection improvements with upgraded bike lane paint and detection
--- Raised crosswalks at Fremont/800 W and Remington Way/800 W near school bus stops
--- Neighborhood Byway signage on Emery and Navajo Streets between Indiana Avenue and
California
--- New flashing beacon (RRFB) at 800 W/900 S with pedestrian refuge island
Future Phase 3 could include chicanes, traffic circles, or additional pedestrian improvements
on 800 W.
This project aims to create safer neighborhood connections, encourage active transportation,
reduce emissions, and foster a more livable environment. It aligns with Salt Lake City's
sustainability goals, public health initiatives, and Vision Zero policy to eliminate traffic injuries
and fatalities by 2035.

44 Event Infrastructure and Pavilion Replacements for Vibrant, Safe City Parks
Public Lands Department
This project will transform several public parks into vibrant hubs for community gatherings
and public events by investing in essential event infrastructure, and replacing failing pavilions.
Funding will replace failing pavilions in select parks ideal for hosting small family and
corporate events, and add amenities such as permanent power distribution boxes, improved
lighting, restrooms, and durable areas to accommodate stages, vehicles, portable restrooms, or
other structures to make our parks more friendly and accommodating to many different kinds
of event.
These upgrades will support a variety of activities, from cultural festivals and concerts to
volunteer projects and neighborhood celebrations, fostering community connection and
enriching public spaces. By equipping our parks with the necessary infrastructure, we aim to
reduce event setup costs, minimize environmental impacts, and increase accessibility for
organizers and participants alike to make gathering with our communities more accessible.
The benefits of this application are four-fold:
(1) Reduce the current maintenance impacts of concentrating every City and special event
within the same few parks
(2) Reduce event costs for organizers
(3) Activate more of our parks, especially those that are otherwise ready to be supportive of
more events (open space, parking, etc.) in Council districts that do not traditionally host many
events
(4) Ensure that our park supply can meet event demand so that there can be more events
programmed in our parks every year
This initiative aligns with our vision of creating safe, inclusive, and engaging public spaces that
strengthen community bonds and enhance quality of life for residents and visitors.

48 Rose Park Lane Beautification, Trail, and Safety Improvements
Constituent Application; Public Lands Department
There is a dire need for health and safety improvements along Rose Park Ln. This project
would meet all your priorities for the application year. More than a beautification, this project
really addresses your top priorities of unfinished projects, Health and Safety, Jordan River
Parkway, and city-owned land. The Urban Forestry Division has committed to providing trees
and installation at the new sites on Rose Park Lane. This project would extend and complete
the Rose Park Lane trail, remove illegal overnight commercial truck parking on unfinished
land, and build infrastructure to sustain commercial truck traffic on Rose Park Ln.
The entire stretch of Rose Park Ln is highly visible and highly neglected. The entire stretch of
the existing Rose Park Ln. was irrigated 7 years ago for the WestPointe run-off ditch (large
grassy area/detention basin at the corner of Rose Park Ln and 1700N), but this irrigation was
never extended for the remainder of that stretch of road or utilized. This lane is highly visible
from I-215 with large volumes of traffic going to the beautiful soccer fields just a few feet up the
road. This has increased the traffic and speed of that traffic on Rose Park Ln. Safety is an issue
as cars will continue to use highway speeds down that road upward of 60 MPH.
Fixing the trail and planting trees with irrigation on Rose Park Ln would greatly improve
community morale and safety for the families that walk with their children and pets, and bike
and run on this trail. Adding trees along Rose Park Ln will also help in reducing air pollution,
high summer heat, and traffic noise, also repairing/replacing the sidewalk to make it ADA-
compliant would also create handicap accessibility for residents who are currently unable to
utilize this walkway.
This area has been neglected for a long time and needs reinvestment to provide shade,
accessibility, and other environmental benefits to this neighborhood.

Constituent Application, Public Lands Department
I wanted to bring to your attention a specific area of the river that is in great need of
improvements and enhancements. It is a city owned parcel at the end of Concord St. and
Pierpont Ave. It often goes unmaintained and has been a section with a lot of criminal issues
and illegal dumping. The city recently added a gate, a no camping sign, and a no trespass sign.
This is an area where people used to be able to walk down to the river and engage with nature;
however, due to its unmaintained and underutilized nature, it has been closed off by the city
and has been home to multiple encampments recently.
The city owns a large piece of land that accesses the river from Concord. In addition it owns the
parcels across the river to the east and west. I believe this would be the perfect location for a
bridge over the river. The neighbors in this area do not have an easy access to the Jordan river
trail, or a good way to cross I-80 as a pedestrian. If neighbors want to travel north, they have to
walk down to the freeway overpass on Navajo and down 200S to connect to the trail. Or they
have to walk out to 300 S and go east to connect to the trail at Alzheimer's Park.
Because the city owns land on both sides of the river, it should be a much easier place to work
with. Instead of a fenced off access point I would love to see the city make improvements that
the community can use.
The scope of the request will be 1) create a new public nature space on the west side of
Alzheimer's park/Jordan River, 2) add improvements to the walkway on 300 S to increase
comfort and walkability to the JRT, and 3) conduct a feasibility study for a bridge connecting
the east and west sides of the river.
51 Nature Park at Bonneville
Constituent Application; Public Lands Department
The Nature Park at Bonneville will turn two and a half acres of unusable fire hazard into a

for this project (see Supporting Documents).
fenced off for safety reasons. It has a large amount of dead wood, creating a significant fire
hazard to neighbors in the area. We see evidence of "campsites" and drug paraphernalia left
behind; as well as large piles of concrete and asphalt chunks, dead and broken trees from the
golf course, and broken or obsolete golf course equipment. We propose the area be converted
to a small nature park with a shredded bark walking path utilizing bark chips from dead wood
processed from the area; three benches, access to water to establish drought-tolerant native
trees, shrubs and pollinator plants. This area will be cleared of junk and debris. Some dead
tree material will be cleaned out, but not all - leaving a natural area on the northerwestern side
for our native wildlife habitat and protection. We will also work to protect the habitat of great
horned owls and various hawks living in the area. We propose two entrances: (1) south end of
2200 East, (2) east side of Connor St. at property line to the course. The south end is at the
current Maintenance Building and will have no access to the nature park from this area. Also
included is the addition of native trees, shrubs and pollinator plants utilizing free or low-cost
programs like the Utah Pollinator Habitat Program, currently offering 90-900 seedlings for
free each September. This will require access to water but not an irrigation system. The end
result will offer a safe, natural area for both adults and children to enjoy nature and her wildlife
such as great horned owls, red tailed hawks, deer, foxes, and other wild creatures that are
losing habitat in our highly developed.

A full service bike "spa" between Harvey Milk Blvd. bike path and sidewalk on the North side of
the Milk Block (416 E 900 S) and a similar style but slightly larger bike spa at the SLC
Downtown Library located to the SE of the main Library building to replace the existing
"alphabet" bike rack.
The purpose of these spas is for the City to go beyond merely accommodating bicyclists and
provide safe, secure, and convenient bicycle parking that will encourage citizens to leave their
car at home and ride to work, to do shopping, or to recreate. This project will accelerate and/or
accentuate City bicycle infrastructure and plans.

a safety risk with its awkwardly placed stop signs and poor sight lines for safely crossing as a
pedestrian or cyclist. We are requesting your consideration for the installation of two Speed
Cushions and a Speed Radar Sign in advance of this intersection. We believe that installing this
traffic calming near the intersection will reduce the speeds of vehicles and thus reduce the risk
of accidents and enhance cyclist and pedestrian safety.
59 Federal Heights Safety Upgrades
Constituent Application; Transportation Division
We need speedbumps placed on key streets that receive unabated traffic, particularly downhill
streets. We receive a high volume of cut-through traffic going to and from the University of
Utah and the hospitals. Vehicles are consistently going 35mph+ on our streets, and the
downhill traffic is typically the worst. These streets have limited stop signs on them, resulting
in cars flying down them and speeds sometimes 2x the speed limit. Many families, including
occur, resulting in material harm to ours or neighboring kids.
57 Civic Campus and Green Loop Implementation
Public Lands Department
Where the Civic Campus and Green Loop intersect, there is a valuable opportunity to create an
iconic and vibrant event space in the heart of downtown. This request of $3,000,000 is a 20%
of the projected project cost and serves as seed money for alternative funding sources. The
Green Loop project reimagines part of the City's underutilized public rights-of-way as
functional green space with nature-based solutions to improve the environment and human
well-being.
Transformation of the public right-of-way requires design and construction of both above-
ground improvements (sidewalks, paths, bikeways, plazas, roadway, forest, plantings, park
features, and rain gardens) and below-ground infrastructure (public and private utilities).
Project costs include design and construction of above-ground green space, roadway
reconstruction, and some utility (public and private) relocation on 200 East from
approximately 350 South to 550 South.
The intent of this application is to allocate funding to bring strategic segments of the Green
Loop to construction as early as 2026, particularly where there are timely opportunities to
leverage nearby active projects, grant funds, and/or philanthropy.
Since 2019, Salt Lake City's multi-departmental Green Loop project team, comprised of staff
from Community and Neighborhoods, the Mayor's Office, Public Lands, Public Services, and
Public Utilities has been collaborating to bring this complex project to reality. In 2024, concept
design for 200 East was completed. Further design for the Civic Block will integrate the Green
Loop with Library Square visioning and Washington Square security improvements.

This application is for a community Garden to be constructed on 700 East & Coatsville Ave.
Parcel is located on a UDOT parcel on the north side of Coatsville Ave. This is the second year
this project has been submitted. This is a vacant lot owned by UDOT in which SLC has a
contract to maintain it. One of the reasons the application was not approved last year because
of the uncertainly of the extent of the property required for the construction of the 700 East
Shared Use Path. That project is in the final stages of construction so that variable is now
known and UDOT would now be in a position to allow the project on the property.
Wasatch Community Gardens also was not sure they had the resources to manage another
garden last year because they were committed to open 2 very large west side community
gardens this year. The earliest this garden would become operational is the spring of 2026, so I
am confident that the bandwidth will be available.
One might point out that there is already a community garden at 1700 South and 700 East but
it is limited by the fact that they are numerous large trees on that lot so about 50% of it is
shaded for all or a portion of the day, hence it is not a very productive garden. I would estimate
that to be about 50% based on the area that is used for gardens and what is being grown there.
A corollary to this application would be to relocate that existing garden to this new proposed
and much more productive location. The local community council has a master plan on green
space in the neighborhood and the location of the existing community garden would make a
much better dog park. The green space at the recently closed Hawthorne Elementary School,
would hopefully become a new SLC neighborhood park. This would be in conjunction with a
new dog park across 1700 South and a productive community garden another half block south
of it.

TOTALS
Constituent Application; Transportation Division
Since 2016, the neighborhoods surrounding East High School, as per current Salt Lake City
Government protocol, have recorded and reported numerous violent incidents including, but
not limited to, groups of East High School students as well as unrecognized groups of adults
and high-school aged students circling the neighborhood in vehicles before coming to the
neighborhood and jumping unsuspecting students and/or engaging in large (60+) assault with
battery; gangs of street racers weaponizing vehicles to threaten and intimidate other students
in and around the school; and a dangerous and unprecedented uptick in street racing (both
and 900 S corridors from 900 East to 1400 East. I have personally been working with several
specialized City departments to conceive of an engineering plan to restore safety, livability, and
hospitality to this high impact area in the nexus of East High School that will serve residents,
business, as well as predominantly westside students that visit these neighborhoods during the
school day. The departments that have been consulted are Transportation, Enforcement, and
Salt Lake City Police Department, the Mayor's Office and Council member Mano, as well as the
District Attorney's office to make sure that we are working within a legal and civil rights-
as East High School faces 1300 East and has a zero access policy to a from campus to the rear
two-thirds of campus making it impossible for the SLCSD staff to respond to violent road-
related issues that owned and operated by Salt Lake City. The challenge we face is that none of
the stakeholders within the city or school district are on the same page in addressing these
issues. What is needed is a planning effort that brings all stakeholders together to solve these
critical issues.

Note there is a total of $700,000 of which $200,000 is the general maintenance base budget
separate from the competitive portion of CIP and used for repairs, security, and utilities at
vacant and leased city-owned properties. The Administration is requesting that the $500,000
for development specific uses in FY2026 be split into two parts:
- Up to $400,000 for building improvements to the Fisher Mansion that may include historic
rehabilitation, building systems, and structural improvements.
- Up to $100,000 for expenses related to predevelopment costs and development of a
community benefits agreement for the Fleet Block.

CITY COUNCIL TRANSMITTAL
SUBJECT: Transit Master Plan Implementation Interlocal Agreement (ILA) with the Utah Transit
Authority (UTA), Addendum No. 9 – Continuation of Frequent Service Network (FSN) Routes 1, 2, 9,
and 21.
ADDITIONAL STAFF: Jon Larsen, jon.larsen@slc.gov
PRESENTERS/STAFF TABLE: Jon Larsen, jon.larsen@slc.gov
DOCUMENT TYPE: Resolution
BUDGET IMPACT? The budget impact of Addendum No. 9 is $6,277,036.60 for the FSN service to
be provided during the FY 25-26 along with routes 1, 2, 9, and 21, which is currently funded to
run until August Change Day 2025. The funds associated with this addendum are included in the
Mayor’s Recommended Budget and cost details appear in Attachment F.
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council approve a resolution (Exhibit 1) authorizing the Mayor
to enter into the proposed Addendum No. 9 (Exhibit 3) to the ILA with UTA (Exhibit 2) to implement the
2025-26 FSN.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: The Transit Master Plan Implementation ILA with UTA is a twenty-
year agreement that has a goal of full implementation of the FSN as described in Salt Lake City’s Transit
Master Plan. Council adopted the Plan in 2017 with the intent that six corridors would be included in
Phase One of implementation. These corridors are 200 South, 900 South 2100 South, 1000 North, 600
North and 400 South. Council has since approved Addendum No. 1, along with a corresponding budget
appropriation to mobilize (referring to the recruitment; hiring; and training of operators, mechanics, and
supervisors, as well as the initial vehicle lease payments for training and testing along the new routes) for
service on routes 2, 9, and 21, which began operations in August 2019.
Addendum No. 2 and the corresponding budget sponsored the continuation of the increased
frequency and hours of operation (span) on these routes. UTA conducts periodic “true-ups” to
determine whether actual costs came in at, above, or below projections, for instance, due to fuel
costs. This yielded an amendment to Addendum No. 2, which was approved in January 2021 and
resulted in a credit to Salt Lake City.
Addenda Nos. 3 and 4 have continued operation of additional span and frequency on these routes
for the 2020-21 and 2021-22 service years, respectively, until Council approved and funded
Addendum No. 5 to mobilize Route 1.
Addendum No. 6 was approved in 2022 for the launch of the service on Route 1, in addition to
continued service on routes 2, 9, and 21. Council also approved an amendment to Addendum No.
3 in 2022 for a credit to the City as a result of Covid-related service reductions.
Addenda Nos. 7 and 8 were approved in 2023 and 2024, respectively for the continuation of
service on routes 1, 2, 9, and 21.
This Addendum No. 9 mimics Addenda Nos. 7 and 8 for continuation of the sponsored routes,
with adjustments made according to the terms of the main agreement. These include inflation,
fuel costs, and UTA’s “baseline” which refers to the level of service UTA would provide absent
City sponsorship based on the service guidelines articulated in UTA’s Five-Year Service Plan. It
should be noted that the City and UTA decided to use an annual inflation rate of 2.2% in the cost
calculator with the idea that over the course of the 20-year agreement, fluctuations year-to-year
would balance. Variations in fuel have not been significant enough to warrant a true-up, as actual
costs must deviate by at least 30% from projected costs to do so.
Routes 1, 2, and 21 meet UTA’s Service Design Standards for Tier 1 Service on weekdays and
Sundays. Additionally, Route 9 meets UTA's Service Design Standards for Tier 1 Service on
Sundays. These are now included in the baseline at no additional cost to SLC.
Implementation of the FSN has been a highly collaborative effort between the City and UTA
over the past seven years. Many of the corridors in the Transit Master Plan are included in and
budgeted for in UTA’s Five-Year Service Plan. Some have already been implemented at UTA’s
expense, such as the 900 East and Avenues corridors (Route 209), State Street (Route 200), 600
North (extension of Route 205, proposed for restoration for frequent service as labor supply
rebounds), and Redwood Road (Route 217).
WILL THE CITY COUNCIL NEED TO HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING FOR THIS ITEM? Yes
PUBLIC PROCESS:
The Transit Master Plan public process was very robust and included 16 stakeholder interviews,
18 mobile events, and over 2000 unique online comments. The Transportation Advisory Board
and Bicycle Advisory Committee provided guidance on both the Master Plan and the guiding
principles for the ILA. Specific to the ILA, addenda and corresponding City budget
appropriations, the process included City-hosted public hearing on the ILA and prior addenda.
This year’s budget process, including public hearings, will solicit additional public comment on
the transit service line item. In addition, UTA conducts public hearing processes for UTA’s Five
Year Service Plan, as well as for each Change Day.

RE: Budget Amendment Number 5 of Fiscal Year (FY) 2025
New information
Due to a noticing issue, the City Recorder’s office is requesting that the Council continue the public hearing to May 6,
2025. Also, in an effort to avoid additional workload involving a sixth budget amendment during the annual budget
process, the Administration is proposing to add four New Items, (A-16 through A-19) to Budget Amendment No. 5.
A-16: National League of Cities 2025 City Summit Conference for the NLC – (Rescoping $250,000 from
the Mayor’s Office of existing personnel budget)
The City was chosen to host the 2025 City Summit NLC conference November 19th through November 22nd. Generally,
host cities are responsible for the program structure, content, logistics, and marketing. Specific expectations of host cities
are detailed below.
The Administration anticipates the costs related to this event to be more than $250,000, with $250,000 coming from the
Mayor’s Office existing personnel budget rescope, and an additional $250,000 coming from a request included in the
FY25-26 Mayor’s Recommended Budget. The transmittal indicates that expenses above the $500,000 will be covered by
fundraising. There will also be opportunities for sponsorships.
Events Approximate Number of Attendees
a. Conference closing events, including venue,
dinner and entertainment.
1,500 adults
b. An NLC Board of Directors dinner (typically
hosted by local elected officials, including transit,
a meal and a host city gift)
300 adults
c. A youth program for high-school aged students,
partnering with the City’s YouthCity program,
including a venue, food and entertainment.

(The following write-ups are from the Administration.)
A-17: Public Safety and Streets Maintenance Vehicles – Funding from Funding Our Future (FOF)
($5.2 million one-time from FOF)
The Administration is requesting a straw poll for this item.
The Administration is proposing to accelerate the Funding Our Future budget for vehicle replacements by adding the item
to Budget Amendment #5 instead of the FY26 annual budget. The uncertainty surrounding Federal tariff policies is a
significant risk. At the time of publishing, the 90-day pause on global reciprocal tariffs excluded the 25% tariffs on
imported vehicles and imported parts (even if the vehicle is assembled in the US). If reciprocal tariffs go into effect again,
then it’s unclear to what extent those costs could be in addition to the 25% tariffs currently in effect. The City previously
funded vehicle replacements from Funding Our Future at a similar ~$5 million level in FY2022, FY2023, and FY2024.
The Fleet Division provided the below breakout of how the $5.2 million would be used based on a worst-first replacement
schedule. If this funding is approved, then the Fleet Division would meet with the Fire Department, Police Department,
and Streets Division to review these vehicles to ensure they align with the department’s priority needs, and if needed
adjust individual vehicles.
The Administration is requesting a straw poll on this item so the Fleet Division may initiate paperwork to place the orders
while the manufacturer is still accepting new orders. The purchase order could not be finalized until the Council formally
votes to adopt this budget item. Vehicle manufacturer ordering windows have become less predictable in recent years and
the impact and timing of tariffs on vehicle pricing is uncertain at the time of publishing.
$4 million for public safety vehicles:
-$2.6 million for 40 police hybrid SUVs
-$1.416 million for three fire vehicles of which $1.3 million is a fire engine pumper and $116,000 for two F150
hybrid trucks
-The Fleet Division monitors electric fire engines for potential future purchases as these are still relatively new on

A-18: Request for Additional Police Overtime ($1 million from the General Fund)
The Police Department is requesting additional funding for targeted overtime to help ensure appropriate staffing coverage
and maintain core public safety functions across the City. This request is driven by an increase in calls for service, strategic
crime prevention efforts, and special event demands, all of which require a flexible, responsive workforce beyond standard
current staffing levels. The requested overtime will support the Police Department’s ability to:
-Respond to rising 9-1-1 and non-emergency calls for service, which have increased by 5% in 2025 when compared to
2024 (January 1 -April 10). Deploy officers proactively in crime hot spots using the Police Department’s stratified policing
approach, which prioritizes resources based on crime patterns and community risk. The Police Department’s proactive
policing has increased 15% when compared to2024 (January 1 -April 10).
-Provide staffing for high-visibility public safety initiatives, including: The Jordan River Trail, where enhanced operations
target violent crime, drug activity, and environmental hazards. As of April 7, 2025, officers working the specific JRT focus
area have made nearly 400 jail bookings and responded to more than 3,300 calls for service. Downtown safety, including
foot patrols and evening coverage for entertainment zones and business corridors. Parks and other open spaces, where
visible police presence can reduce disorder and increase public confidence. Additionally, the Police Department in 2025
2

has experienced a notable uptick in free speech, protest, and large-scale public events, which require significant officer
time for traffic control and crowd management. SLCPD have staffed approximately 24 protest or demonstration-related
events since the first of the year and it is anticipated we will exceed the previous year’s 62 such events.
As of April 7, 2025, the SLCPD has booked more than 1,500 individuals into the Salt Lake County Metro Jail and have
issued more than 1,200 citations in lieu of booking. Securing this overtime funding also helps ensure the Police
Department’s operational readiness and ability to respond to critical incidents, warrant execution, investigations and
obtaining of evidence, and collaborative operations with local, state, and federal partners as part of SLCPD’s public safety
mission. Divisions within the Police Department impacted by this request include Patrol, Investigations, and Special
Operations, including the SLCPD’s Gang Unit and Violent Criminal Apprehension Team. This overtime investment will
allow the SLCPD to remain proactive, adaptable, and responsive to the evolving needs of Salt Lake City. The (in the
Administration’s transmittal) provides a snapshot in time vacancy report for the Police Department’s current FTE
positions that are unfilled and the associated YTD savings. The Department has utilized the$1.3 million of vacancy savings
shown in the table to cover overtime up to this point in FY25.
A-19: Funding for Citizenship Classes, Application Fees, and English Language Classes – ($50,000
one-time from the General Fund)
This item would provide $50,000 one-time to the Good Samaritan Foundation and No Mas A Stranger’s path to
citizenship program which is a free legal clinic that assists legal permanent residents to pursue citizenship. A secondary
part of the process is to teach English skills and learn about the local community to help them become more active and
productive community members. $38,000 would allow 50 participants to have the filing fee covered on the N-400 forms:
$760 paper/$710 online for each. Some of the participants may qualify for a fee waiver through USCIS guidelines because
of their income. The remaining $12,000 would provide citizenship classes by the Guadalupe Center and English Skills
Language Center (ESLC).
Individuals who enroll will be chosen through an application process. Participants will take citizenship preparation classes
offered by a partner nonprofit with established programs. The program will include city-focused, and city-led sessions in
collaboration with other community partners. Additional details of the program are summarized below. Citizenship
Preparation Class: Partner with Guadalupe Center and ESLC to teach the classes and host the program.

Council Added Items
Item I-1 – Advantage Services Increase - $320,000 – Source: vacancy savings (Discussed on 4/8)
The adopted FY 25 budget for Advantage Services is $1.4 million. At the current usage rate, this would be fully expended
by the end of April. The Administration indicates the primary reason is the higher-than-anticipated usage rate for the
team, as well as expanding the team’s availability from 5 days a week to 7 days a week, to keep up with demand. To make
up the difference for FY 25, the Administration is proposing to use vacancy savings within the Community and
Neighborhoods budget. Because this is shifting personnel funds to non-personnel usage, it would need to be approved by
the Council. The Administration indicates that it will plan to include the full cost of the increased service in the FY 26
budget, as this has become an essential element to the City’s public safety plan.
New - The following two items are tangentially related to the larger policy discussion the Chair has scheduled on the
Council’s Communication budgets. Because they have already been discussed between some Council and community
members, they are included as Council Added items while that policy discussion is pending. The Council could decide to
approve these items regardless of the conclusion of the policy discussion.
Item I-2 – Council Added Item – Mead Avenue Underpass - $3,000 - $6,000 – Source: Council Office
Communication Budget for District 4 and/or District 5
On March 25th at a special meeting of the Community Reinvestment Agency (CRA), the Board straw polled support of
dedicating $50,000 from State Street Strategic Intervention funds to the Mead Avenue Underpass project, which the
Central 9th Community council is organizing with community member Nick Rimando. The project would provide
activation and neighborhood connectivity for a currently-unused UDOT overpass. Community stakeholders and the CRA
are continuing to work with UDOT on logistics of implementing these projects. Council Members Mano and Lopez Chavez
have been discussing with community stakeholders ways to add to the project budget, including potentially using $3,000
from the communications budgets for D4 and D5.
Item I-3 – Council Added Item – Art in D4 - $15,000 – Source: Council Office Communication Budget –
District 4
Council Member Lopez Chavez has been working with stakeholders in the community to commission a piece of art for D4,
that would be located on private property but would be prominent and public facing. The advantage of this approach is
that it would be maintained by the private property owner and would not an ongoing drain on City resources. It would also
be implemented more quickly that the typical City process through the Arts Council.
The Administration has provided responses to several of the follow-up questions raised by the Council at the April 1
briefing. They are included as an attachment to this staff report.
The following information was provided for the April 1, 2025 work session. It is provided again for reference.
Budget Amendment Number Five includes 20 proposed amendments, including $2,855,699 in revenues and $9,109,320 in
expenditures. The amendment proposes changes in six funds and moving 2.0 general fund positions from the Mayor’s
Office; 1 position will be moved to Public Lands, and one will move to IMS. With the adoption of Budget Amendment #5,
the available fund balance will be 20.81 percent of the FY 2025 Adopted Budget. If the item is adopted as proposed, then
Fund Balance would be $37,533,578 above the 13% minimum target.

Fund Balance
While the increased General Fund Balance is
positive for the City’s fiscal position, it’s
important to note that the annual budget has
used an escalating amount of one-time
General Fund Balance revenues to fill the
annual budget structural deficit. The chart to
the right was provided by the Finance
Department to show how much General
Fund Balance was used in the past seven
fiscal years. Note the City’s current fiscal year
is FY2025 so the FY2026 column is only for
discussion purposes to show the impact of
the trend continuing. The Council may wish
to discuss with the Administration policy
goals for the use of General Fund Balance in
the next annual budget such as whether
reducing the reliance on one-time funding to
fill the structural deficit.
Tracking New Ongoing General Fund Costs
for the Next Annual Budget
The table of potential new ongoing General
Fund costs for the FY2026 annual budget is
available as Attachment 1 at the end of this
document. The total new ongoing costs from
Budget Amendments 1 through 5 would be
$6,381,054. Note that of the total cost, $4.1
million would be needed if the Homeless
Shelter Cities State Mitigation grant is not
available for FY2026.
UPDATED Fund Balance Chart
The Administration has provided an updated revenue chart. Based on revenue data across the first part of the fiscal
year, it is proposed that revenues will be approximately $8.59 million above the FY 2025 Adopted Budget.

PUBLIC PROCESS: Public Hearing
Section A: Grants Requiring No Staff Resources
A-1: 400 South Bridge Reconstruction over Jordan River – ($3,5000,000 – one-time from the County
Quarter Cent Fund Balance)
The Administration is requesting $3.5 million from the County quarter cent sales tax fund balance to fully fund
the 400 South bridge over the Jordan river. $4 million was allocated in FY 25, bringing the total to $7.5
million. Based on structural analysis, the bridge is at risk of being further downgraded, meaning emergency
vehicles and UTA buses may not be allowed on it until it is fixed. Funding it now would enable sooner
construction. The remaining fund balance in that account would be approximately $2 million if this item is
approved.
For more background on the inspection of the bridge and other funding for the project please refer to the
Administration’s transmittal.
A-2: Withdrawn prior to transmittal
A-3: Community Land Trust Program Funds Allocation – ($310,000 – one-time from Community Land
Trust)
The Administration is requesting funding from dormant program income fund dollars to repair various homes
in the Community Land Trust program. In previous discussions the Council indicated a willingness to allocate
funding within the program, acknowledging that the Administration was working on a more comprehensive
policy for the CLT. The administration indicates they expect to transmit that in April.
Policy question – the Council may wish to schedule a more in depth discussion on the Community Land Trust
when that policy is received from the Administration, particularly if there are budget adjustments that
could/should be made for the FY 26 budget.
A-4: Hive Pass Funding for Passes and Continuing Greenbike Membership – ($135,000 – one-time from
the General Fund
Due to increased usage of the HIVE pass, the administration is requesting $114,000 to help keep up with
demand. The budget was reduced a few years ago to align with usage, but between FY 24 and FY 25, usage
increased. This will bring the total general fund amount to $464,000, which is based on projected usage. The
Administration indicates it will include this increased cost in the upcoming budget year.
The Administration is also requesting $8,500 to cover related GreenBike memberships for HIVE pass users.
For the last seven years UTA has been paying for these memberships. However, current UTA leadership is not
interested in continuing the investment. The Administration is planning to include this in the budget for the
next three years.
Policy question – The Council may wish to discuss whether it is interested in the City providing the GreenBike
memberships, and if the Council is interested in funding this service long-term. Council may wish to ask the
Administration if UTA was approached to identify additional funds.
A-5: Expanding Scope of FY25 Funded Restroom Study to Include Assessment of All Public Restrooms –
($75,000 one-time from the General Fund)
Note: Public Lands coordinated with CAN on Items A-5&6. The Administration is proposing to allocate
$75,000 of the $500,000 set aside by the Council for “Public Hygiene Pilot program” to expand the scope of
the Fairmont Park Restroom Study. $100,000 was allocated in FY 25, and the additional $75,000 will enable
the study to be City-wide.
Policy question – the Council may wish to ask the administration for more information about what is expected
to be included in the scope and if there are any specific policy goals they wish to achieve with this study?
A-6: Public Hygiene Pilot Program – ($425,000 – one-time from the General Fund)
Note: Public Lands coordinated with CAN on Items A-5&6. The Administration is requesting the Council
2
7
8

6
release funding for the Public Hygiene pilot program, originally allocated in FY 2025. The new amount would
be $425,000. The Administration is working on releasing an RFP for proposals. The Administration’s
transmittal indicates that the RFP would ask for providing “new and/or increased hygiene and outreach
services for unsheltered individuals experiencing homelessness in SLC. Proposals can include mobile services
or improving/expanding existing stationary facilities.”
Policy question – the Council may wish to evaluate whether reducing the funding from the original $500k
allocated would potentially reduce the scope of impact of this pilot project. The Council could elect to make up
the funding from fund balance.
A-7: Additional Funding for Construction Mitigation – ($270,000 – one-time from the General Fund)
Due to high demand, the Administration is requesting $270,000 from general fund balance to add to the
construction mitigation grants administered by Economic Development. When the Council increased this
funding in the FY 25 budget, several Council Members expressed an interest in fully funding requests, given the
increased construction activity in the City. In FY 25 the Council allocated $600,000. Economic Development
anticipates $270,000 in additional funding will fully address requests for the remainder of the fiscal year.
Additionally Economic Development indicates that they will make these funds available to businesses that have
been awarded funds in previous rounds. This funding would allow an additional 90 small businesses to receive
grants. Staff asked the Administration if the new amount of $870,000 should be included in the FY 26 budget.
The Administration indicates that they expect most major street construction projects to be wrapped up by the
next fiscal year.
Policy question – the Council may wish to have further discussion about other anticipated construction
projects that may have business impact, to inform the FY 26 budget.
A-8: Animal Services Contract Increase True-Up – ($398,281 – one-time from the General Fund)
The Administration is requesting additional funding for the contract with Salt Lake County for animal services.
The Contract was finalized after the FY 25 budget was adopted, which is why it wasn’t included. The new
contract pricing is $398,281 more than the current budget, and is due largely to inflationary increases, and
does not include any service level increases.
The Council may wish to ask the Administration if there is a way to adjust the timing of contract negotiations
so they can be included in the timing of the annual budget process.
A-9: FY25 Water Stabilization Monthly Fixed Fee (Water for $281,965); FY25 Water Stabilization
Monthly Fixed Fee (Sewer for $65,495); FY25 Water Stabilization Monthly Fixed Fee (Franchise Fee Tax
$72,752) for a total of $420,212 one-time funds from the General Fund
The Administration is requesting $420,212 of funding from general fund balance to cover the cost of the water
stabilization fee charged to the City as a water user (water, sewer, and stormwater) – calculated based on each
meter, and the size of each meter. The Public Lands department was not aware of this fee proposal at the time
of the FY 25 budget. Public Utilities will likely have a new rate structure in time for the FY 26 budget request, at
which time Public Lands will evaluate the budget need.
A-10: Storm Water Impact Fees ($36,091 one-time from the General Fund; $269,654 one-time from the
General Fund and $269,654 from the CIP Fund)
The Administration is requesting one-time funds to cover $305, 745 in stormwater impact fees relating to
Parks/CIP projects that were not included in those original project budgets – including Sugar House Park
Pavilion and several other CIP projects funded in FY 25. The Administration is evaluating how to
operationalize including these fees in project budgets in the future.
A-11: Public Safety Plan – Westside Parks Security Guards – ($59,430 one-time from the General Fund)
The Public Lands department is requesting $59,430 to add additional security detail in westside parks, as
2

contemplated in the Public Safety plan proposed by the Mayor in January 2025. This funding would provide
funding for services from April-June.
Policy question – The Council may wish to discuss with the Administration whether funding for security
services will be included in the FY 26 budget, and if so, the duration of those services.
A-12: Updating Four Sections of the Impact Fees Facilities Plan – ($80,000 one-time from the CIP Fund)
The Administration is requesting $80,000 from the various impact fee accounts to update all sections of the
Impact Fee Facility Plan – Fire, Police, Parks and Transportation. The Council previously approved an update
to the transportation in FY 24. This would enable all sections to be updated. The last comprehensive update
was in 2016. Updated plans ensure that impact fees are set based on realistic/current cost estimates for
improvements relating to growth, and that growth estimates are based on current data. State code governs the
impact fee facility plan process, including allowable uses for impact fees. The analysis must be completed by a
consultant approved in the impact fee analysis field.
A-13: Mayor’s Office Transfer of 2 FTE’s to Two Departments – (Budget Neutral)
The Administration is proposing to shift two FTEs out of the Mayor’s office into other City departments:
-One is a Constituent Services and Office Coordinator (N19), which is currently occupied, to support the
administrative functions of the Public Lands Department, in a project coordinator role.
-One is a vacant Community Liaison position (E26), currently focused on language access, that would move to
IMS and reclassified as a Communication Specialist I (E27). Due to the reclassification, the position would
cost more annually, but for FY 25 would be absorbed by IMS.
Policy question – The Council may wish to ask the Administration for an update on City-wide communication
strategy, including any relevant metrics.
A-14: Ranked Choice Voting Education and Outreach – ($50,000 one-time from the General Fund)
As discussed during the Council’s December discussion on Ranked Choice Voting, the Administration is
proposing to add $50,000 in one time money from the general fund balance to support outreach efforts
relating to this voting process. This is in addition to funds that are anticipated to be included in the FY 26
budget. Adding funds in this budget amendment would enable efforts to get underway immediately rather than
waiting for July 1 to begin. The Council straw polled support of this approach for the 2025 election cycle.
A-15: Additional Funding for City Hall Security Guards – ($700,000 ongoing from the General Fund)
The Administration is proposing to add $700,000 in funding from general fund balance to account for
increased security needs at the City and County building and overall Civic Campus (Washington Square,
Library, Public Safety Building). This would be in addition to the $916,000 approved in FY 26, for a total of
$1.616 million. The Administration indicated this likely reflects the actual ongoing need, and will plan to
include it in the FY 26 budget.
Section B: Grants for Existing Staff Resources
(None)
Section C: Grants for New Staff Resources

Section D: Housekeeping (write-ups from Administration’s transmittal)
D-1: Engineering Reappropriation for Fencing – ($63,953 one-time from the General Fund to the CIP
Fund)
One-time funding was provided to Public Service's Engineering Division in FY 2024 in a late-fiscal year budget
amendment for fencing adjacent to the North Temple bridge over the Jordan River, Archuleta Bridge, and Folsom Trail.
This funding was to be used for temporary fencing associated with a CIP project but could not be transferred to CIP
because it didn’t meet certain CIP criteria requirements. Instead of going to CIP, the budget was loaded into
Engineering Operations. However, because Engineering was not fully aware of the circumstances associated with the
appropriation, the funds were not encumbered and subsequently were not rolled over to the FY 2025 budget. This

The Fire Department has been deployed several times this fiscal year to three wildland fires and two hurricanes. The
Staff inquired about federal funding uncertainties and the Fire Department indicates their counterparts have promised
a 75% advance on reimbursements. They will continue to monitor the situation.

G-1: Utah State University Wildlife Foundation – ($85,356 – Misc. Grant Fund)
Utah State University has been awarded a grant by the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation as part of their pollinator
program. Part of this grant has been awarded to the Trails and Natural Lands division of the Public Lands Department
of Salt Lake City as a subaward. Salt Lake City will use the grant to accomplish three main objectives: 1) Species
Development. 2) Seedling Production and 3) Native Seed Farm. The goal of these objectives is to supply the Utah
Pollinator Habitat Program and the city’s Trails projects with seedlings which will be used to enhance and restore public
lands along trails with pollinator habitat to the benefit of the urban population. The Public Hearing was held Feb. 4, 2025.
G-2: Utah Department of Natural Resources/Forestry, Fire, and State Lands – ($63,255 – Misc. Grant
Fund)
The Utah Division of Forestry, Fire and State Lands (FFSL) has received funds from the Utah State Legislature to be
administered for vegetation improvement projects on sovereign lands of Utah. The proposed uses of the funds were
brought before a grant selection committee and approved. The FFSL has awarded Salt Lake City Corporation for the
implementation of a Jordan River invasive species control and restoration project. The Public Hearing was held Feb. 4,
2025.
G-3: State of Utah: Department of Environmental Quality Drinking Water Board – 4th Avenue Well –
($800,000 – Misc. Grant Fund)
Public Utilities applied for and was awarded a planning loan through the Drinking Water Board. The loan amount is up
to $800,000 for planning and design costs to address PFAS contamination in the 4th Avenue Well. In addition to
awarding the loan, the State will also forgive 100% of the principal cost of the loan to pay for an engineering study to
address the contamination issue. While this is a loan and not a grant, the mechanism for receiving the money is similar
to a grant. Typically, when receiving a loan, the loan recipient receives all the money at once and thus can spend funds
once the money is received. In this instance, the funder (lender) is requiring Salt Lake City to initially incur the expenses
and then submit reimbursement requests to receive the money. The agreement for this loan is that 100% of the
principal will be forgiven and there will be no expectation of repayment. Due to the unique requirements of this loan,
the management of funds will follow grant approval and reimbursement processes. The Public Hearing was held Feb. 4,
2025.
G-4: Salt Lake City Bike Share Expansion – ($121,236 – Misc. Grant Fund)
Transportation Division received a grant from the Utah Department of Transportation for $614,790 in August of 2022.
In October of 2024, UDOT increased that amount by $121,236 for a new total of $735,026. This item is to obtain
approval for the additional $121,236. This grant was awarded to Salt Lake City to expand the Bike Share program in
collaboration with Green Bike. The original public hearing for the grant was March 22, 2022.

Budget Amendment #5 – Follow up Questions and Answers – April 1, 2025 briefing
Administrative responses in red
- Can you provide usage data about Greenbike – what percentage of HIVE passholders
use this?
o 419 Hive Pass users have activated and used the annual GREENbike
membership. That is out of the 2000 GREENbike memberships that were
purchased with the original $75,000 of funding from UTA. That is 20.9% of HIVE
pass holders.
- Is there any additional information about why UTA has elected not to fund, and/or did the
Administration push for funding?
o We aren’t sure why UTA doesn’t want to fund this again. It was one-time funding
seven years ago, so it’s possible that personnel and priorities have just changed.
- Could the Council choose to fund the HIVA passes and not the Greenbike passes?
o Absolutely. This is simply a “value added” option to provide a helpful first/last mile
connection.
- What is included in the scope (or intended to be included in the scope) of the city-wide
restroom assessment?
o The FY24/25 CIP funded Citywide Park Restroom Planning Study scope of work
includes a planning study to update guidance for park restroom policy and
practice citywide, conceptual design for new restrooms typologies within parks,
and a recommended design for a restroom in Fairmont Park. If the budget
amendment is approved, the expanded scope will extend the study to all publicly
accessible restrooms citywide (not just parks, but all restroom facilities that allow
public access)
o The new scope proposed with this budget amendment request is intended to
include the following items completed internally by City staff. Public Lands, in
collaboration with other City staff, will collect base data that includes:
An inventory, including overall condition indices, of all current public
restrooms citywide. If the expanded scope is awarded, we can include a
map of all publicly accessible restrooms citywide. If not, we'll still provide
a map of the public lands public restrooms.
A needs assessment of current restroom “level of service.” This scope will
likely not include a full list of repairs at each location, but coupled with the
data that we received from the Strategic Capital, Acquisition and Asset
Management Plan, we'll be able to identify major repair and replacement
needs and provide a prioritized list of improvement requirements based
on condition.
A gap analysis to identify restroom deserts throughout the city
o The new scope will also include the following to be completed by a consultant:
2
7
8
0
9
Develop best practices and policies based on other successful public
restrooms nationwide
Create a typologies guide and recommendations for park and public lands
restrooms
Recommend priorities for future restroom-related projects as funding
becomes available
- Are City budget constraints/realities communicated via the scope?
o The recommendations of the plan will be scalable and will be used to inform
future design and programmatic requests for restroom replacements/repairs. The
recommendations will be intended to be used when funding for restroom
replacement is awarded. The Strategic Capital, Acquisition and Asset
Management Plan that will be completed by Public Lands by the end of this year,
will make recommendations on funding requests for programmatic replacements
required to maintain our asset replacement schedule and current level of
service. The Strategic Capital, Acquisition and Asset Management Plan being
developed will include funding recommendations for public restrooms based on
the results of the expanded restroom study while balancing competing needs for
other capital improvements within anticipated budget constraints.
- As a lower priority, could the scope include creative restroom solutions in other
communities?
o Regardless of additional funding award, the Citywide Park Restroom Planning
Study will include a review of successful restrooms in other cities and
communities and will make recommendations for Salt Lake City park restrooms
based on best practices.
A-7: Additional funding for construction mitigation
- Has the Administration evaluated whether the current $3k grant process is helpful to
businesses, or would a different amount be more helpful?
o In the past, the grant amount provided to businesses was $2000 and businesses
were not as inclined to apply. The Department of Economic Development (DED)
decided to increase the grant amount to $3000 which saw a higher application
rate from businesses.
o We conducted a survey of Construction Mitigation Grant (CMG) recipients last
year and asked businesses for feedback. Most businesses were grateful and yet
some expressed that $3,000 isn't enough when they experience a decline in
sales.
- Can the Administration work with businesses to know the various ways these funds can
be spent, and evaluate whether changing the program name makes sense to add
clarity?
o DED does work with the businesses to explain how funds can be used and they
are posted on our website and collateral. A common use of the grant is to expand
ways to reach and communicate with customers, for instance, purchasing a
software or subscribing to a service that may have previously been cost
prohibitive. However, this is not the only use of the grant funds.
2

o DED has expressed to business owners that the grants are not to be revenue
replacement for any losses.
o It has been DED’s experience that the name is clear to the businesses. DED
sees a high application rate, so the name does not seem to be an issue from our
perspective. Construction Mitigation also sets parameters for which businesses
the grant is intended for. If Council desires, DED is open to consult with the
Business Advisory Board (BAB) if they think the name is confusing. We can even
conduct an informal focus group in order to obtain the BAB’s perspective on the
issue.
- Can the Administration engage the Business Advisory Board to inform how the FY 26
funds can/could be structured?
o DED works closely with the Business Advisory Board (BAB). The BAB is an
asset to the city and to DED; hence, we are always engaging them in our work.
We can engage the BAB more strategically as we continue to manage the
program. In fact, an assigned BAB member can serve as an advisor to our CMG
program.
o DED has also surveyed CMG recipients and have looked into similar programs in
other cities. We are happy to share those additional insights.
o It is worth noting that DED is working on a 2025 Mayor’s goal to formalize CMG
as a program, and that similar attributes are being considered.
A-8: Animal Services Contract –
- Can the Administration work with County staff to adjust timing?
o The FY25 BA#5 Animal Services Contract one-time request of $398,271 is
attributed to a contract renewal timing issue. A new contract for Animal Services
was signed and recorded on 7/1/2024 for another 5 year period after the FY25
budget was adopted. Future contract budget increase requests will be included in
the annual budget process and should not require budget amendment
adjustments.
A-11: Public Safety Plan – Westside park security
- How many hours/days would this get in each of the parks – Glendale, Jordan,
International Peace Gardens, Cottonwood Park, Riverside Park?
o The security detail will operate seven days a week from 9:00 PM to 5:00 AM.
o Guards will patrol Glendale, Jordan, International Peace Gardens, Cottonwood
Park, and Riverside Park, making multiple stops at each location throughout the
night. The security guards will also patrol the hotspots along the Jordan River
Parkway Trail such as the smaller pedestrian bridges between the priority parks
listed above.
o Their primary focus will be to ensure that no unauthorized individuals are in the
parks after hours.
o Guards will lock and unlock gates (where applicable) at designated times.
o They will also monitor for any signs of property damage.

o The east side parks (focus on Liberty Park, Herman Franks, Fairmont, and Allen
Park) have already experienced positive results from this service. In March 2025,
the city transitioned from CBI Security to All Pro Security, and the change has
been well-received. All Pro provides daily reports with photos of all patrolled
areas, which are reviewed by Safety and Security Director Nate Kobs. He has
reported that the service is both effective and valuable.
o Weekly Stats report will include:
Paraphernalia found (Needles or pipes)
Police or Medical Assists (Security calling for police or fire to respond)
Persons removed from property or trespassed for committing crimes or
multiple violations of city code
Community engagement (Resources given with a subsection of if it was
accepted or not)
- Could security cameras extend the reach of this staff?
o Security cameras could significantly enhance the effectiveness of the guards, but
only with further expansion. Establishing a Security Operations Center
(SOC) with a dedicated guard monitoring live feeds and dispatching personnel as
needed would provide more comprehensive and efficient coverage. Depending
on location, the upfront capital cost to install new fiber optic cables or other
utilities to support the cameras would be needed in addition to the cost of the
cameras. Alternatives such as solar power and using cellular networks is being
explored.
o We understand that SLCPD is actively investigating having a Real Time Crime
Center that would essentially accomplish the same thing.
A-15: City Hall Security Guards
- Does the City have data/metrics about crime in the civic campus before and after
security was increased?
o The security increase occurred towards the end of fiscal year 2024. This was in
response to the Administration and Council asking for increased attention to
Washington Square and Library Square crime issues.
I asked PD for the calls of service for Washington Square and Library Square from July 2024-
March 2025. These calls of service were from individuals that have called in, either the security
guards or members of the public, and have asked for PD or medical to respond. The calls for
service by month are listed below. This more detailed level of tracking started when the
enhanced security service levels started, so there is not a readily available dataset to compare
the same metrics before July 2024.
July 2024 – 96
August 2024 – 91
September 2024 – 104
October 2024 – 100
November 2024 – 86
December 2024 – 79
January 2025 – 99
2

8
0
9
February 2025 – 82
March 2025 – 72
The increase is expected as the guards were increased as well as their time spent on patrols.
The decrease shows the positive effect as less calls are needed.
- Are there current metrics for citations/types of crime/etc?
Security guards track various statistics daily, and an active dashboard is nearing completion.
The dashboard will include the following metrics:
Police/Medical calls (security guards calling for PD to respond for crimes
witnessed, and medical called for persons injured or overdosing on drugs)
Narcan doses administered. This is the security guards discovering a
person overdosing on drugs and while waiting for medical to arrive, the
person stops breathing. Security will then administer a Narcan dose.
Paraphernalia found (drug needles or pipes)
People removed from property (People are removed from property and
given a verbal warning for committing multiple violations of city code.
People are trespassed from property for committing violence on others,
lewdness, and other misdemeanor crimes.
Community engagement (Resources offered, with a subsection of if the
resource was accepted or rejected. Resources include whether shelter
beds are available, meeting with a social worker either PD related or the
social worker and other social service providers that are frequently inside
the Main Library, and other service provider referrals)
The stats recorded for January, February, and March of 2025 are listed below:
January 2025
Police/Medical Calls – 23
Narcan Doses - 3
Paraphernalia – 32
Removals - 321

- How is this security service interfacing with service providers and connecting people to
services?
o The security guards work with SLCPD daily. While the support from the police
department has greatly increased, they are on site sporadically. The security
guards are out and visible all day and night doing patrols 24/7/365.
o Working with SLCPD and their various divisions, the security guards know when
to call for social workers or PD camp mitigation teams within their operating
hours (which are less than 24/7/365).
o During cold months, the security guards have

COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
CITY COUNCIL of SALT LAKE CITY
TO:City Council Members
FROM:Brian Fullmer, Policy Analyst
DATE:May 6, 2025
RE: Alley Closure at Madsen Park (approximately 9 North Chicago Street)
ISSUE AT-A-GLANCE
The Council will be briefed about a proposal from the Salt Lake City Department of Public Lands to close a
portion of an alley within Madsen Park, between 1000 West and Chicago Street in City Council District
Two. The alley is approximately 300 feet by 15.5 feet, or 1/10 acre. The alley segment does not appear to
have been used as a public right-of-way for many years and has been incorporated into Madsen Park as
part of a multi-purpose field and basketball court. The alley is unusable for access to any nearby properties.
The reason for the alley closure request is in preparation to consolidate various parcels that comprise
Madsen Park into one to facilitate park improvements funded by the Parks, Trails, & Open Space General
Obligation (GO) Bond.
Goal of the briefing: Review the alley closure and determine if the Council supports moving forward
with the proposal.
Item Schedule:

highlighted in yellow. The subject alley is shown with yellow dashes.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Madsen Park was selected as a Reimagine Nature Park to receive funding from the GO bond. Consolidating
the parcels will allow building permits to be issued for park improvements that will be determined
following a public engagement process. Building permits cannot be issued for projects that cross property
lines or encroach into public rights-of-way.
City code outlines the process for vacating alleys, but not for closing them and the City retaining
ownership. The proposed closure is following State code. Planning Commission review is not required
under State code when an alley is closed and the City retains ownership of the property, provided it is
converted to another public use. As noted in the project chronology below, a required 45-day public
comment period was held. The Planning Commission did not review or make a recommendation to the
Council regarding the subject alley closure.
Page | 3
State code (included at the end of this report) requires the City Council to hold a public hearing and adopt
an ordinance to indefinitely close the alley. At least one of the following conditions must be met.
PROJECT CHRONOLOGY
November 14, 2024 –
o Early notification notices mailed to all property owners and residents within 300 feet of the
alley portion proposed to be closed.
o Notice of the 45-day comment period provided to the Fairpark and Poplar Grove
Community Councils.
November 15, 2024 – Notice of the proposed alley closure posted at the property.
November 26, 2024 – Online open house posted to the Planning Division’s webpage. The open

CITY COUNCIL TRANSMITTAL
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: The Salt Lake City Public Lands Department is requesting
the City Council adopt an ordinance to indefinitely close a portion of an alley between 1000
West and Chicago Street in the Western Subdivision of Block 57, Plat C, Salt Lake City Survey
(see Exhibit 1). The purpose of the closure is to consolidate all parcels that make up Madsen
Park into one parcel to facilitate park improvements that are being funded by the Parks, Trails, &
Open Space General Obligation Bond (GO Bond).
The alley was established when the subdivision in which it’s located (Western Subdivision of
Block 57) was created in 1901, and runs north/south through the middle of the block bounded by
North Temple St., 1000 West, South Temple St., and Chicago St. The portion of the alley to be
closed is approximately 297 ft. in length by 15.5 ft. in width and is located within the boundaries
of Madsen Park. The portion of the alley to be closed appears to exist only on paper and hasn’t
been used as a vehicular public right-of-way in many years. There are no nearby properties that
rely on it for access. The part of the alley in question has been fully incorporated into Madsen
Park as part of a multi-purpose field and a basketball court. If the alley is closed, it will continue
to be part of Madsen Park.
Madsen Park was selected as one of the Reimagine Nature Parks to receive funding from the
GO Bond. Neighborhood parks funded by this bond aim to invest and activate underutilized
parks to increase access to green space and quality parks. The completed project will feature
new and improved amenities that are prioritized by residents and celebrate the community this
park serves. This project is in the public engagement stage of development, which will be used
to determine the final design and implementation of the updates to this park. Although the
final design hasn’t been determined yet, a building permit cannot be issued for structures or
improvements that cross property lines or encroach into public rights-of-way. Because of this,
the portion of the alley within Madsen Park must be closed, and all the parcels consolidated
before the Salt Lake City Public Lands Department can move forward with obtaining building
permits for any new amenities or improvements to the park.
The alley closure process is regulated by State Code 72-5-105 (4), (5), and (7), which requires
the City Council to hold a public hearing on this matter and adopt an ordinance to indefinitely
close the alley. The City Council may indefinitely close this portion of the alley and convert it to
another public use (Madsen Park), if they find that:
A. The alley to be closed isn’t necessary for vehicular travel
B. The closure is necessary to correct or mitigate injury to private or public land resources
on or near the portion of the alley to be closed, or
C. The closure of the alley is necessary to mitigate unsafe conditions
As stated above, this portion of the alley hasn’t been used as a vehicular public right-of-way in
many years and there are no nearby properties that rely on it for access. Additionally, it has never
been paved and has been fully incorporated into Madsen Park. Because of these reasons, the City
Council may find that the portion of the alley to be closed isn’t necessary for vehicular travel and
the proposed closure is warranted. Only one of the above standards is required to be met.
PUBLIC PROCESS:
This closure is subject to the early notification process in 21A.10. The following is a list of
public input opportunities related to the proposed alley closure:
• The Planning Division provided a 45-day comment period (November 14th – December
29th, 2024) to the Fairpark and Poplar Grove Community Councils.
• Early notification notices were mailed November 14th, 2024, to all property owners and
residents within 300 ft. of the portion of the alley proposed to be closed.
• A sign notice of the proposed closure was posted at the property November 15th, 2024.
• An online open house was posted to the Planning Division’s webpage on November 26th,
2024, and will remain open until the City Council has made a decision on the proposal.
As of the date of this transmittal, the Planning Staff hasn’t received any public comment on the
proposed alley closure.
State Code noticing requirements for this process include a mailed notice to the owners of
abutting properties at least 4 weeks in advance of the hearing and notice to the Utah Department
of Transportation (UDOT) of the upcoming hearing.
• Notice of the proposal and upcoming hearing was sent to the abutting property owners
November 15th, 2024. A copy of this notice is included in Exhibit 4.
• Notice to UDOT of the public hearing will be sent by Council Staff ahead of the hearing.

To Whom It Concerns,
The Salt Lake City Department of Public Lands is requesting an Alley Vacation for
Madsen Park, located at 9 North Chicago Street, Salt Lake City, UT 84116. There are
various reasons supporting this request.
The primary reason for this request is to legally allow for the revitalization of Madsen
Park, a community open space, using up to $750,000 from the $85 million General
Obligation (GO) bond approved by voters in November 2022. The required building
permit, as part of the reimaging effort, cannot be approved until the various parcels and
abandoned alley right-of-way that all make up Madsen Park are consolidated.
While technically still an alley, the right-of-way in question does not currently serve any
functional purpose or access for nearby residents or for the park. It has been materially
blocked from the north and has been subsumed into the park (multi-purpose field and
basketball court) in a way that renders it unusable as a public right-of-way.
With all these factors considered, we request that the alley vacation be approved.

Notification of a nearby Alley Closure request
Dear Property Owner or Resident,
You are receiving this notice because your property is directly adjacent to the
alley that is requested to be closed.
Request Description:
Ronnie Pessetto (Salt Lake City Department of Public
Lands) is requesting to indefinitely close a portion of
an alley running north/south mid-block between 1000
West and Chicago Street (see image to the right) for
the purpose of converting this part of the alley to
another public use (Madsen Park). This part of the
alley does not currently serve a functional purpose or
access for nearby residents to their properties or to
the park, and it has been fully incorporated into
Madsen Park as part of a multi-purpose field and
basketball court which have made it unusable as a
public right-of-way. The applicant is requesting this
closure so that all property that makes up Madsen
Park can be consolidated into 1 parcel.
Alley Closure: Closing an alley in this manner is
regulated by State Code 72-5-105 (4), (5), and (7),
which requires the request to be heard at a public
hearing (City Council) and the alley closed by adopting
an ordinance. In addition to this, notice of the request
must be sent to UDOT and abutting property owners
at least 4 weeks in advance of the public hearing date.
To comply with these requirements, a public hearing will not be scheduled until after:
December 13th, 2024.
You will receive an additional notice of the City Council public hearing date once it has been
scheduled.
The purpose of this notice is to make you aware of the request and let you know how you may
obtain more information and provide comments. If you would like additional information or if
you have comments, please contact the project planner - Rylee Hall, Principal Planner at 801-535-
6508 or rylee.hall@slc.gov.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
The Salt Lake City Council is considering a request from the Salt Lake City Public Lands
Department to indefinitely close a portion of an alley running north/south mid-block between
1000 West and Chicago Street, for the purpose of converting this part of the alley to another
public use (Madsen Park). This portion of the alley doesn’t provide access to nearby residents to
their properties or to the park and has been fully incorporated into Madsen Park as part of a
multi-purpose field and basketball court which have made it unusable as a public right-of-way.
The applicant is requesting the closure so that all property that makes up Madsen Park can be
consolidated into 1 parcel to facilitate future park improvements. The subject alley is located
within Council District 2, represented by Alejandro Puy.
As part of their study, the City Council is holding an advertised public hearing to receive
comments regarding the petition. During the hearing, anyone desiring to address the City
Council concerning this issue will be given an opportunity to speak. The Council may consider
