Dear City Council Members Carlson, Dugan, Petro, Puy, Wharton and Young,
In February 2023, I began attending CCNC (Central City Neighborhood Council) and have become
increasingly involved over the past couple of years. Since the first meeting I attended, and to date, I
have been impressed by Austin Taylor, who has consistently facilitated those meetings, always in a
professional and measured manor. He is very welcoming to every attendee, maintains an inviting
atmosphere, enabling any voice to feel safe contributing to the dialogue, whilst keeping the agenda
on schedule.
Prior to Austin’s leadership, another long-term leader had stepped away from her role as CCNC
chair, and as a result, CCNC was not operating for a period. Austin, recognizing a critical void, then
engaged others in the community to restart the board. While he avoided a chairperson role in the
first couple years, he was (and continues to be) the primary actor, setting up the agenda, inviting
presenters, sending out informative monthly newsletters and facilitating the meetings.
Austin began his role on the CCNC Board as a young father, raising a young family in Central City,
wanting to engage and help make our parks and streets safer for young children. He is currently a
SLC CRA employee, bringing extraordinary knowledge and discipline to the table. This January
was the first time he took on the Chairperson role, as he continues to do the lion share of work he
has always done behind the scenes. He has four additional Board members this year, including
myself, who have benefitted from his knowledge and collaboration.
When the opportunity came to identify a new City Council Member for the vacant District 4 seat,
Austin seemed to many of us to be the natural choice. We are so pleased that he has taken the
initiative to apply. I see this as a unique opportunity to bring in a knowledgeable, engaged and
collaborative individual who already knows how to behave as a professional SLC employee.
With Austin’s strong understanding of the role and responsibilities entailed and his willingness to
move on from his CRA role to this position, I see this as a unique opportunity to fill the role with a
citizen with a record of impeccable, informed and selfless service.
I am writing to personally endorse Austin for the District 4 City Council Member position. I know if
he is selected, you will have an excellent colleague to partner in leading the SLC Council together
successfully.
Thank you for your consideration of Austin for this critical role.
Sincerely,
Annie

Dear Members of the Salt Lake City Council,
I am honored to write in support of Austin Taylor for appointment to the open Salt
Lake City Council seat.
I have known Austin since his time working with the Provo Bicycle Collective, when I
was helping establish a bicycle collective in St. George. From those early interactions, I
was impressed by his dedication to community building, his commitment to active
transportation, and his ability to bring people together around shared goals.
Over the years, Austin has consistently demonstrated himself to be a smart, capable,
creative, and highly organized leader. He approaches challenges thoughtfully, works
collaboratively, and has a genuine passion for improving the communities he serves.
His advocacy for active transportation reflects not only his vision for healthier and
more connected cities, but also his ability to translate ideas into meaningful action.
Austin possesses the qualities that make for an effective public servant: integrity,
intelligence, strong organizational skills, and a deep commitment to public engagement.
I am confident he would serve the residents of Salt Lake City with professionalism,
energy, and care.
I am pleased to offer my wholehearted endorsement of Austin Taylor and recommend
him as an excellent candidate for this appointment.
Sincerely,
Dannielle Larkin

Hello,
I'm reaching out to express my support for Austin Taylor for the D4 council seat. I'm a resident of D4 and the
Central City neighborhood and have been an advocate for our city in the transportation safety space. I serve
as the Central City Neighborhood Council's Transportation Committee Lead, and have worked with Austin
for a few years while he's been part of CCNC.
Austin has demonstrated exemplary leadership qualities during his time with CCNC. He helped bring CCNC
back from dormancy, starting as a board member and working his way up to chair. Now, he listens to and
encourages residents to express their opinions, facilitates community engagement, and always keeps things
professional. CCNC is now a core part of the community and in my opinion, a great community council. I'm
also aware that Austin has worked for the CRA. While he keeps his city work separate from his CCNC work,
I'm sure his experience greatly benefits his understanding of the city. I also believe that Austin would uphold
the values of our city, ensuring that decisions benefit the people and families who live here while balancing
the needs of our visitors who support our local economy.
Thank you for considering,
Troy Saltiel

To the SLC Council Selection Committee,
I am writing to express my support for Austin Taylor's appointment to
the open District 4 seat on the Salt Lake City Council.
Through my work with the Midtown Business District and broader
community engagement efforts in Salt Lake City, I have had the
opportunity to work alongside Austin on issues affecting residents,
businesses, neighborhood organizations, and the future of our city.
Throughout those interactions, he has consistently demonstrated
thoughtful leadership, a collaborative approach, and a deep commitment
to public service.
What has always impressed me most about Austin is his ability to
bridge perspectives. He understands that strong neighborhoods depend
on both thriving residential communities and successful local
businesses, and he approaches civic issues with a genuine desire to
find solutions that work for everyone. Whether discussing
transportation, land use, development, or neighborhood concerns,
Austin brings a level of insight and preparation that elevates the
conversation while remaining approachable and respectful of differing
viewpoints.
I believe Austin's background makes him uniquely qualified to serve
District 4, and he has demonstrated a long-standing commitment to
community involvement. Through his work, Austin has earned the trust
of residents and stakeholders by showing up consistently, listening
carefully, and engaging constructively on difficult issues. He
understands both the policy implications and the real-world impacts of
local government decisions on the people who call Salt Lake City home.
District 4 would benefit from Austin's combination of professional
expertise, civic engagement, and collaborative leadership. He is
thoughtful, informed, and deeply invested in the future of Salt Lake
City. I am confident he would serve the district and the city with
integrity, diligence, and a strong commitment to building consensus
around meaningful solutions.
Thank you for your consideration. I am pleased to offer my support for
Austin Taylor's appointment to the District 4 seat on the Salt Lake
City Council.

Subject: (EXTERNAL) District 4 Letter of Recommendation / Austin Taylor
Dear Councilmember Wharton,
I write in strong support of Austin Taylor's appointment to the Salt Lake City Council for District 4. I
have come to know Austin through years of shared civic work in Utah, and I can say without
reservation that his love for cities and for building community make him one of the most genuinely
committed people I have ever encountered.
I first met Austin Taylor when serving as Preservation Utah's Executive Director, but more than
once I have informally encountered Austin out in a neighborhood, clippers in hand, deadheading
roses in a public median, or walking along with a plastic bag collecting litter from the sidewalk.
Nobody asked Austin to perform these tasks, and, appropriately, his efforts were not performative.
Rather, I understood that Austin’s investment in improving the public realm was habitual, discreet,
and deeply personal.
Austin's professional record reflects the same passion and drive. At the Provo Bicycle Collective he
transformed a struggling organization into a beloved institution that gave away hundreds of bikes
annually, earned recognition as Utah County's best bike shop two years running, and drew over
800 volunteers donating more than 4,000 hours per year. In Park City he launched various tactical
urbanism projects, added over 100 bike parking spaces, and expanded commute incentive
programs to hundreds of businesses. At the Salt Lake City Redevelopment Agency where Austin
currently works, he handles the mechanics of urban investment: closing construction loans,
managing acquisitions, and keeping residents informed at community council meetings. As you
know, Austin spends all day working in Salt Lake City Hall then goes back to District 4 where he
serves as chair of the district’s community council.
Austin’s resume only tells part of the story, however. Having worked alongside Austin on efforts to
save Provo's Dixon Middle School and Salt Lake City's original Second Ward building, as well as
neighborhood home tours and Preservation Utah fundraisers, I can speak to what is harder to put
on a resume. Austin grew up with many advantages and could have chosen to stay comfortable
and insulated. Instead, he has spent his adult life doing the opposite, choosing accessibility over
exclusivity: building bicycle coops for people who cannot afford a car, installing air quality monitors
in underserved neighborhoods, and showing up to support whatever civic effort needs another
willing pair of hands. You can always count on Austin to be the first to arrive and the last to leave.
Salt Lake City needs council members who understand how cities work at the ground level and
who see building healthy neighborhoods as a deeply personal effort. Austin Taylor is that rare
candidate who brings professional expertise and genuine love for urban life to this role. I absolutely
recommend him without qualification.

Dear SLC City Council,
Please find attached my letter for Austin Taylor who has applied of the District 4
vacancy.
George Handley
May 28, 2026
It is my pleasure to write in support of Austin Taylor who has applied for the District 4 vacancy
on the Salt Lake City Council. I served for eight years on the Provo City Council, and it was my
top priority entering office to move the needle on sustainability in a community that hadn’t yet
committed to any goals for a greener future. Our first step was to hire a sustainability coordinator
who could help the council begin to develop such a plan, and Austin was our hire. He was
remarkable and extraordinarily intelligent. He started by identifying low hanging fruit—things
that we could do to improve our ecological footprint right away. This included improved design
standards for homes to more connected active transportation options, as well as larger but
obtainable goals. For example, Austin planted the idea that the construction of our new city hall
that we had recently bonded for could be built at NetZero readiness. He did the research to help
staff understand the process and convinced the Mayor to make this a priority, even though it
hadn’t been legislatively required. We were successful, and today the building stands as a
standard for other construction projects in the city. He patiently fed the council a constant flow of
vital information about opportunities before us. He was data-driven and careful and on the
cutting edge in his research. Because of his steady efforts, we gained traction and, before he left
to further his studies, we had a growing and shared conviction, even among more conservative
and initially reluctant council members, that we needed to codify a sustainability plan for the city
that included everything from water conservation to clean energy goals. We eventually passed
our plan, the first in Utah County, and I credit Austin for helping us get there. He stood head and
shoulders above the rest of the staff in Provo in terms of his understanding and wisdom about
how to plan for the future, even though he was likely the city’s youngest staff member at the
time. He was quietly but undeniably effective.
Austin and I have become good friends and conversation partners about the issues that confront
cities and this state. Austin is articulate, thoughtful, informed, and calm. He will serve without
drama or fanfare and will be very effective working with others. He is honest, hard-working,
practical, and motivated by conviction and the passion to build an inclusive and just city that
serves all. My own daughter and her young family live in District 4 and she and her husband see
Austin as someone who can help make urban areas in SLC more affordable and desirable for
young families and for active transportation. I would envy the chance to have him as my
representative. You would do well to give him serious consideration.

I wanted to provide my support for Austin Taylor as a candidate for Salt Lake City Council District
4. I have had the opportunity to work with Austin in his role as a Project Manager for the
Community Reinvestment Agency.
Austin has been a great representative for Salt Lake City in his capacity as a CRA project manager
and would be a great city council member. He is always very responsive and a fair person to work
with. Having a city council member who understands Salt Lake City government and community
reinvestment is critical to the city as it embarks on some ambitious plans like the Fleet Block
development, and the Delta Center and Salt Palace renovations.
While this is not an endorsement, I think Austin should be considered as a top candidate for the
position.

Salt Lake City Councilmembers,
I am writing to recommend Austin Taylor for your District 4 City Council seat.
I have worked with Austin for several years on community issues in Provo. Austin has
proven himself as an effective leader both as city staffer and as a grassroots organizer and
advocate. He understands city government and is passionate about serving his community.
I would trust him to serve in this position and recommend him without reservation.
Please reach out if you have any questions,

Subject: (EXTERNAL) Letter of Support for Austin Taylor: District 4 Vacancy
Dear Salt Lake City Council Members,
I am writing to express my support for Austin Taylor as a candidate for the District 4 City
Council vacancy.
As you know, I am also seeking appointment to this position. Although I remain
enthusiastic about my own candidacy, I believe it is important to recognize other
applicants whose commitment to Salt Lake City deserves acknowledgment. While I
understand the Council’s decision must be based on the totality of each applicant’s
qualifications, I wanted to share my firsthand experience working with Austin and my
respect for his service to our community.
Over the course of serving alongside Austin on the Central City Neighborhood Council,
where he currently serves as Chair, I have been consistently impressed by his preparation,
professionalism, and commitment to finding solutions that benefit residents. He takes his
responsibilities seriously, comes prepared, and demonstrates a genuine desire to make our
community stronger.
Austin listens respectfully to differing viewpoints and engages in conversations in a way
that helps build understanding and productive dialogue. In a city as diverse and dynamic as
Salt Lake City, that ability to bring people together and focus on shared goals is an
important leadership quality.
What stands out most to me is his commitment to public service and his deep care for both
District 4 and the city as a whole. He has invested significant time and energy in
understanding the issues facing our community and consistently approaches those issues
with thoughtfulness and integrity.
Regardless of the Council’s final decision, I believe Austin would bring dedication,
preparation, and a sincere commitment to serving residents. I appreciate his willingness to
step forward and contribute his time, talents, and leadership to our community.
Thank you for your consideration and for the time and effort each of you are investing in this
appointment process.
Respectfully,
Jenny Starley

Dear Members of the Salt Lake City Council,
I am writing to express my interest in being considered for appointment to the District 4 City Council seat.
As a resident of Salt Lake City for the past ten years, I recognize that the City is at a pivotal moment in its growth
and development. District 4 continues to experience significant change through new investment, redevelopment,
and increasing density, and with the announcement of the Olympics in 2034, even more changes are to come. This
presents exciting opportunities, but also raises important questions regarding affordability, infrastructure, public
safety, transportation, sustainability, and equitable community investment. As Salt Lake City continues to grow,
appropriate planning is paramount for the future success of our City.
I am interested in serving because I believe that my background and skills would allow me to be a qualified
representative of District 4. As a healthcare professional, I have spent my career working in complex, high-pressure
environments that require communication, problem solving, accountability, and compassion.
My work has taught me the importance of listening carefully, evaluating evidence thoughtfully, and balancing
competing needs while remaining focused on practical outcomes. I believe these skills translate well to public
service and collaborative policymaking.
Additionally, I have witnessed the disparities that certain community members experience due to socioeconomic
differences and how this impacts their quality of life.
I am particularly passionate about social equity, sustainable urban growth, expanding reliable public
transportation, improving walkability and community spaces, and ensuring historically underserved neighborhoods
receive equitable attention and investment.
Most importantly, I recognize that our community is diverse, encompassing individuals from many socioeconomic,
ethnic, and cultural backgrounds. I believe residents want leaders who are accessible, measured, transparent, and
willing to engage with differing perspectives respectfully. I would approach this role with humility, humanity,
professionalism, and a genuine desire to serve the people of District 4 and Salt Lake City as a whole.
Thank you for your consideration and for your service to our city.

Re: Recommendation for Benjamin Draleau for Council District Four Appointment
To Whom It May Concern,
I am delighted to recommend Ben Draleau for the vacant city council member seat representing District
Four. I am a 17-year resident of Salt Lake City in District Five, an architect at Lloyd Architects, and a
dedicated community member. I have known Ben for nearly a decade and have had the privilege of getting
to know him through various civic and personal experiences.
I have known Ben to be one of the most open-minded people, continually giving space to all ideas and
opinions. While being actively committed to his personal political values, he also seeks to make space for
and understand all perspectives. This trait stems from his innate ability to listen carefully and considerately
to all. It was this same trait that led him to pursue a career in healthcare, where he listens attentively to and
improves outcomes for all the patients he sees. Ben has a keen sense of what people need in specic
moments and is an incredibly observant person. These same qualities that make him an impressive
professional and kind friend will make him an invaluable asset when serving the people of Salt Lake City.
He will attentively listen, observe, and generate ideas and opinions that will best serve the community.
Ben is also incredibly passionate about ensuring equitable opportunities for underserved communities.
This is in part due to his identity as a member of the LGBTQ community, but also thanks to his genuine
concern for the well-being of all people. He is a dedicated volunteer medical coordinator for the Transplant
Games of America, having served in the Donor Olympics in 2024 & 2025, and is deeply generous to his
friends and family.
Ben is very invested in the urban fabric and the quality of Salt Lake City’s growth. He and his husband have
spent many years renovating their beautiful Victorian home, bringing value to the neighborhood and
preserving a historical treasure. Through his extensive travels, Ben has observed both successful and less
successful city planning strategies. He has unique and innovative ideas on how Salt Lake City can prioritize
sustainable growth and community-focused design.
Ben is an exceptional individual whom I wholeheartedly trust, respect, and recommend to be an enormous
benet to the City Council.
Sincerely,
Rosemary Stum, AIA

Succinct and direct answers are appreciated.
1. What stands out to you as the top 3 successes or challenges facing District 4 that make you interested
in serving on the City Council?
Transportation: pedestrian safety vs scooters, bike safety vs construction zones and cars, parking vs.
walkability and public transit, attractive pedestrian connections, provision for commuter traffic and
parking.
Planning and design of public investments: entertainment district, library plaza, facilities for Olympics
and visitors, green loop, Leonardo reuse, rebuilt convention center, midblock walkways.
Uncertain future of City Creek, Gateway, and commercial office and retail as anchors for development.
2. What are the issues facing the City as a whole that make you interested in serving on the City Council?
Homelessness
Housing affordability
Water supply and air quality; aging infrastructure
Relationship with state legislature
Planning and design of public investments: ballpark, Inland Port, parks and trails, Fleet Block, homeless
shelters
3. With regard to the development and density occurring in Downtown, what do you think are the top
3 priorities or challenges, and why?
Density and mixed use provide a wide range of benefits including reduced energy and water use,
walkability and reduction ofparking, increased transit use, and greater draw for visitors. Infill
development should provide:
Housing diversity: inclusion of affordable and family friendly units, more ownership vs rental,
diversity of housing types (high rise, mid -rise, townhouses, ADUs)
Preservation and context sensitive development for existing historic fabric
Excellence in urban design: open spaces, street trees, concealed parking, lighting, street front
activation, and pedestrian continuity. Outward vs insular orientation of large developments (hospital,
stadium, shopping malls, colleges, arts facilities, convention center, museums) and fitting these uses
deftly into a residential environment.
4. What do you perceive is the role of the Council in addressing the historic inequities between Council
districts, specifically related to the quality of life in various communities, and disparity in City
infrastructure and service delivery.
Leverage Capital Budget and general fund expenses to balance public facilities and infrastructure as
needed in districts.
Review decisions that site environmental hazards and stigmatized uses unfairly across the city.
Build more east -west transportation connections
Support the development of neighborhood business/community centers (like 9`l' and 9t') across the city
Use zoning, planning, available subsidies and grants to equalize economic development and housing
opportunity

Subject: (EXTERNAL) Vacant D4 Seat - Bree Scheer
Chris,
My name is Peter Moes. I live on 5th Ave between U and Virginia. I'm reaching out with a
recommendation for you to consider Bree (Brenda) Scheer to fill the vacand District 4
seat.
Bree has been active member of our community for the past 2+ decades. She is an
accomplished architect and city planner, in addition to being a skilled administrator and
educator. She joined our community as Dean of the School of Architecture at the U and
quickly expanded the School to the College of Architecture and Planning. Bree created the
Masters of Urban Planning and has directly and indirectly shaped many communities
within our state through her work and influence.
In Bree's administrative role, she dealt with many challenges. She expanded a college and
lead the School of Architecture through some difficult transitions. None of which are easy
when dealing with HR situations, budget challenges, and personalities within
higher education.
Most impressive to me is the way she has managed relationships and been an active
member of our community both during her time at the U and after. As SLC continues to
grow, Bree's experiences (planning, administrative, and most importantly relationship
building) will be a valuable addition to our City Council.

What stands out to you as the top 3 successes or challenges facing District 4 that make you
interested in serving on the City Council?
The needs of District 4 change as you move across its neighborhoods and diverse demographics.
Conversations downtown are different than those around the University and in surrounding
neighborhoods, but they are connected by a shared interest in livability, affordability, and feeling
invested in the future of the city. Downtown's success over the past three decades has been
remarkable. With Temple Square reopening and 2034 on the horizon, investing in a downtown that
is ready to welcome the world again is an important priority.
At the same time, neighborhood stability remains a real challenge. In the neighborhoods between
downtown and the University, a core policy challenge is preserving the character that makes District
4 unique while still creating thoughtful new housing opportunities that keep the district livable and
accessible over the long term.
What are the issues facing the City as a whole that make you interested in serving on the
City Council?
Salt Lake City is managing real growth and opportunity, but also real pressure. Housing,
transportation, infrastructure, and public safety are increasingly connected and require thoughtful
long-term planning. The city is also entering a period where budget discipline matters. Rising costs
and growing service demands require clear priorities and steady stewardship.
I believe residents want a Council that is transparent about tradeoffs and focused on maintaining
strong city services. Just as important, people want to feel connected to city government and
confident their concerns are being heard. That combination — practical problem -solving, fiscal
responsibility, and staying grounded in the neighborhoods — is what draws me to this role.
With regard to the development and density occurring in Downtown, what do you think are
the top 3 priorities or challenges, and why?
I view growth and development with livability top of mind. Earlier in my career, I worked on
redevelopment efforts in Central Ninth, and it informs my views today .The first priority is making
sure new development strengthens the experience of living here — adding housing and investment in
ways that support people, local businesses, public spaces, and neighborhood character. Second is
keeping infrastructure and mobility aligned with growth. Density works best when transit, utilities,
public safety, and public spaces keep pace with how residents and visitors actually use downtown
every day. Third is maintaining trust throughout the process.
Change will continue, and Council's role is to be clear about what the city can control, involve
people early, and guide growth in ways that strengthen downtown while preserving what makes Salt
Lake City feel distinct.
What do you perceive is the role of the Council in addressing the historic inequities between
Council districts, specifically related to the quality of life in various communities, and
disparity in City infrastructure and service delivery.
Salt Lake City has made meaningful progress over time in recognizing and addressing historic
inequities between neighborhoods, and that progress should absolutely be acknowledged. At the
same time, that work is never done and requires continual attention. That perspective was reinforced
during my five years on the Parks, Natural Lands, Urban Forestry and Trails Advisory Board. A key
part of that work was reviewing Capital Improvement Program priorities and thinking carefully
about how parks and infrastructure dollars are invested across the city.
Looking at those decisions through an equity lens matters because public investment has not always
been distributed evenly. Safe streets, reliable infrastructure, quality parks, and responsive services
should not depend on ZIP code, and I believe Council should keep that long view in every budget
and policy decision.

Dear Council Members,
Thank you for considering my application for the District 4 appointment.
District 4 is where I got my first job, built my career, and where I'm now raising my family. I know
these neighborhoods well, and I have a real stake in Salt Lake City's future.
My career has been spent in and around local government, working with elected officials, staff
teams, neighborhoods, and community groups on the everyday work cities are asked to do — growth,
infrastructure, neighborhood identity, budgets, public trust, and difficult decisions. That work has
included service at the state, city, and county levels. Here in Salt Lake City, I had the opportunity to
support neighborhood revitalization in the RDA, as it was known then, and later serve as the City's
first Civic Engagement Manager. Those experiences gave me a firsthand understanding of how city
government works internally and how important it is for residents to feel connected to the decisions
shaping their neighborhoods.
More importantly, they confirmed for me that city government is where public service matters most.
At the local level, decisions are immediate and tangible. They shape quality of life block by block,
neighborhood by neighborhood. That is where I found my passion.
That perspective was reinforced during my 2023 campaign for this seat, when I spent months
knocking doors across District 4 and listening to residents. The priorities people raised were familiar
housing and affordability, transportation and safety, neighborhood investment, and quality of life.
Underneath many of those conversations was a broader desire for connection — connection between
neighborhoods, connection to City Hall, and confidence that city government is listening and
responsive. It was a meaningful experience that inspired me to put my name forward today.
I'm seeking this appointment because I believe I could step into the role effectively and contribute
right away. I would bring neighborhood roots, direct Salt Lake City experience, and a collaborative
approach to the work. I also believe this is a moment where consistency matters. District 4 has seen
significant turnover, and there is real value in stability, continuity, and having someone prepared to
serve with focus and long-term commitment.
It would be an honor to serve District 4, and I sincerely appreciate your consideration.
Respectfully,
Clayton Scrivner

Fun Details
Father, vinyl collector, Trivial Pursuit aficionado, and proud dog friend.
To the Salt Lake City Council,
I am pleased to offer my wholehearted support for Clayton Scrivner's appointment to
the District 4 vacancy.
I have known Clayton professionally for approximately 15 years, having worked
alongside him when I served as PR Manager for Snowbird Ski and Summer Resort, and
he was Director of Communications for the Utah Office of Tourism, part of the
Governor's Office of Economic Opportunity. In that capacity, we collaborated regularly,
and I had a front -row seat to Clayton's exceptional skills as a communicator and public
servant.
What struck me most about Clayton was his thoughtfulness. Whether in a media
briefing, a stakeholder meeting, or navigating complex and sensitive issues like
over -tourism and development near national monuments. He served as the state's
spokesperson on matters that required both precision and diplomacy, and he handled
them with grace every time.
When Clayton left his position, I applied for and accepted his role, and I quickly came to
appreciate the strong foundation he had built. His relationships with journalists, county
destination marketing organizations, state parks staff, and partners across Utah were a
testament to his collaborative spirit and his commitment to elevating communities that
often get overlooked in favor of the Mighty Five national parks. He championed
destinations that needed a voice, and people noticed.
I also had the privilege of canvassing with Clayton during his city council campaign, and
watching him speak directly with residents was genuinely inspiring. He listens. He
cares. And his campaign finance record (which was funded by individuals, not
corporations) speaks to the integrity that defines his approach to public life.
Clayton has dedicated his career to public service, and he brings to that work a rare
combination of strategic thinking, authentic community relationships, and integrity.
Salt Lake City's District 4 would be exceptionally well served by his appointment.
Sincerely,
Emily Moench
Dear Council,
I cannot think of a better candidate to fill the District 4 vacancy on the SLC City Council
than Clayton Scrivner.
Not only has he run for this seat before, which is indicative of the sincerity of his
interest, but Clayton is a local government junkie. I have known Clayton for more than
10 years (maybe 15?) and, in that time, he has lived, breathed and eaten up all that is
local government. He is smart as a whip, fair-minded, and full of integrity. Clayton is an
excellent colleague; he listens well, he debates politely (and always with humor!), and
he accepts decisions when they're made. The culmination of Clayton's work
experiences has prepared him well to be wise, considerate, and just in his deliberations
and decision -making. Clayton has seen it all, the good, the bad and the ugly, in terms of
the public process and he can handle anything. His voice in representing District 4
would bring added value to the Council without question.
I wholeheartedly endorse Clayton to be District 4's next Council member.
Thank you in advance for your consideration,
Beth N. Levine
Dear Members of the City Council;
As the first Executive Director of the Salt Lake City Council in 1980 when the electorate chose the Mayor
Council form of government to replace the Mayor Commission form of government, I believe i know the
importance of choosing the right person to be a Council person.
Someone who is committed to the best for the city as well as what is best for their District. Clayton has been
a resident of SLC and District 4 for many years. He previously ran for the Council so is aware of the issues of
importance to District 4 residents.
Having worked for Salt Lake City in various positions, he has institutional knowledge of the various
departments and their functions and importance. This knowledge is most important when the City Council is
considering the City Budget. Clayton knows the importance of a good relationship with the State Legislature
and Governor having worked under me when I served as the Director of the Utah Travel Council.
He knows the importance of the legislating body as well as the executive branch. I believe you would be well
served with Clayton Scrivner.
If I may answer any questions you may have, please do not hesitate to call me at 801-657-9988.
Sincerely,
Leigh von der Esch

Salt Lake City Council
Salt Lake City, UT 84114-5476
Dear Salt Lake City Council:
I'm writing to express strong support for selecting Clayton Scrivner to fill the District 4 vacancy
on the City Council. I worked with Clayton at the Utah Office of Tourism from approximately
2005 through 2012.
Our executive director quickly acknowledged Clayton's talent and ability and gave him more and
more responsibility. He went from a customer service role to serving as our PR manager. He
was reliable, smart, engaged, and a great teammate. We knew we could count on him to get the
job done. Our tourism partners from around the state appreciated his efforts and enjoyed
working with him. I was deputy director of the office and saw firsthand how his communication
efforts contributed to the success of our marketing campaigns.
He is funny, kind, and an all around good person. He has worked in the public sector for many
years and has a strong desire to serve. He cares about the city and those that live here. He is
diplomatic and somebody who will bring respect to the position and the council, not
embarrassment and unwanted scrutiny.
He was a great co-worker and he has remained a friend to me and many others in our industry.
strongly urge you to appoint him to this position. He will represent his district and the city in the
best possible way.
Sincerely,
David Williams

Dear Salt Lake City Council:
For more years than I dare to count, I have thought of Clayton as "Mr. Salt Lake City." He has
lived in downtown Salt Lake since the 1990s and has seen it through innumerable changes. But
it is not just Clayton's firsthand familiarity with the area that makes him seem so connected to
District 4; it is his abiding and absolute love for it. There is no greater advocate for the district
and its residents, no greater protector of their interests, and no greater expert on their
collective history and projected future.
Clayton ran a selfless campaign to represent District 4 during the last election and is still driven
by selfless (indeed, self-sacrificing) motives to represent it now. over the. years our family often
saw Clayton's hard work in local government and encouraged him to run for office, but it was
the needs of the city, not ego that finally motivated him to heed the call. Clayton set out to run
a grassroots campaign and adhered to his principles despite extreme personal strain. So when
he asked for my help, I was happy to come to Utah and help Clayton campaign. His passion and
dedication are contagious, and his pride in his district is palpable. This has been a trying time for
District 4; Clayton Scrivner is the representative the district needs, and I urge you to appoint
him to the City Council.
Sincerely,
Katie Scrivner
May 31, 2026
Dear Members of the Salt Lake City Council,
As a 5th generation resident of Salt Lake City's Central City neighborhood, I'm writing to
encourage you to appoint Clayton Scrivner to fill the District 4 vacancy on the Salt
Lake City Council. As our D4 neighborhoods —and many other areas of the city —
navigate significant challenges around housing affordability, safer transportation, the
upkeep of our parks and open spaces, and community investment focused on everyday
quality of life, we need a representative who has been committed to our area for years,
who intends to remain committed to us long-term, and who understands both our D4
needs and the city as a whole. Clayton is that person.
In the 14 years I've known him professionally and personally, Clayton has been
consistently responsive to both city officials and average residents —equally comfortable
listening to a neighbor's concerns and analyzing a complex budget or policy brief. He
wants to serve out of a genuine desire to improve Salt Lake City, not to use a council
seat as a springboard to move elsewhere. I recommend him without reservation.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Nicholas Rupp

Dear Salt Lake City Council,
Thank you for taking the time to carefully vet candidates for your vacant City Council seat. As the
former Mayor of Park City, LIT, I know firsthand what a challenging task that can be.
I would like to take this opportunity to lend my support to one of the candidates, Clayton Scrivner. I
had the pleasure of working with him during my time in office and found him to be extremely
professional, knowledgeable and diligent. In his role as Communications Director for Park City,
Clayton and I worked together on numerous projects and he consistently arrived prepared for the
task. He went the extra mile to find necessary background information on every issue we tackled.
I was thrilled when Clayton threw his hat into the ring to run for Salt Lake City Council in 2023. As I
watched him during the campaign, I was impressed by his work ethic, creativity and ability to
connect with a broad segment of the community. He listens well, treats others with respect and
isn't afraid to ask hard questions —all qualities necessary to serve effectively on City Council.
Again, thank you for your serious consideration of Mr. Scrivner. If I can provide any further
information, please do not hesitate to reach out.
Kind regards,

RE: Letter of Recommendation for Clayton Scrivner to Fill District 4 Vacancy
Dear Members of the Salt Lake City Council,
I encourage you to appoint Clayton Scrivner to represent the people of District 4 on the Salt Lake
City Council. I believe that he is ready to serve, and you will find him to be a productive
colleague, ready to tackle the challenges facing the residents of District 4 and Salt Lake City.
I had the opportunity to work with Clayton when we were both working for the Salt Lake County
Government. In his role as the Public Relations and Marketing Manager for the Salt Lake County
Parks and Recreation Division, he proved himself adept at managing the county's efforts to
develop, share, and monitor engagement with county residents, and ensure that input from
residents translated into improvements in policy and administration. This role also provided him
with the opportunity to work with all levels of government in the statea knowledge base that
will serve him well as the City continues to navigate intergovernmental pressures.
Clayton is wholeheartedly committed to public service. He has worked for (at least) three
different governments in Utah. He understands the important role that municipal government
plays in ensuring quality of life for City residents. Perhaps most important, Clayton knows this
district, having campaigned for the position before. He's walked the pavement, knocked the
doors, and listened to residents. He will hit the ground running and be immediately connected
with his constituents.
In sum, Clayton has a strong track record of success, works collaboratively to get things done
without getting lost in who gets credit for what, and is deeply committed to the residents of
District 4. He is the exact type of colleague you will want on the Council, and the representative
District 4 residents deserve.
Sincerely,

To the Members of the Salt Lake City Council,
I am writing to enthusiastically recommend Clayton Scrivner for the appointment to the Salt
Lake City Council District 4 seat. Following the unexpected vacancy left by our former
councilperson's relocation outside the district, our community needs a leader who can step in on
day one with deep roots, established trust, and an unwavering commitment to our neighborhoods.
Clayton is, without a doubt, the ideal person for this role.
Clayton has been a neighbor of mine since 2011, the year I first moved into District 4. Over the
last fifteen years, I have had the privilege of watching him engage with our community not just
as a resident, but as a fierce advocate for our collective well-being. When I learned he was
considering applying for the open seat, I was incredibly heartened. My belief in his leadership
runs deep —I not only voted for Clayton in the most recent District 4 election, but I also actively
campaigned for him because I knew then, as I know now, that his vision aligns perfectly with the
needs of our unique community.
District 4 is the vibrant, diverse heart of Salt Lake City, and representing it requires a rare
combination of grassroots empathy and bureaucratic capability. Clayton possesses both.
The sudden vacancy in our district requires a steady hand and a familiar, trusted face. Clayton
Scrivner does not need a learning curve to understand what makes District 4 special or what its
residents need —he has been living it alongside us for over three decades.
I offer Clayton my highest recommendation and full support for this appointment. He has the
passion, the collaborative spirit, and the integrity required to serve our district exceptionally well.
Sincerely,
Marlena Rogers

Members of the Salt Lake City Council
451 South State Street, Room 304 Salt Lake City, UT 84111
Dear Members of the Salt Lake City Council,
I am writing to express my strong recommendation for Clayton Scrivner to be appointed to fill
the now -vacant Council seat in District 4. I've known Clayton for the better part of seven years
and during that friendship, I've seen a sustained commitment to his neighbors, greater
community, and the municipal government that serves them.
When I managed Mayor Mendenhall's campaign in 2019, Clayton was an invaluable resource on
what makes the city run; next to former Mayor Ted Wilson, I can think of no one who was more
on point in terms of their guidance. I watched his 2023 city council race from afar but I saw
someone who ran a clean campaign that was focused on smart governance and oversight. This
appointment will have the added pressure of building back trust with the residents of District 4,
while also passing a budget that continues to improve their everyday lives. I can think of no one
better poised to take on that role than Clayton.
I appreciate your time.
Sincerely,
Patrick Costigan
To the council,
I have worked with Clayton and interacted with him professionally over
the years. These interactions have been directly and indirectly
throughout projects such as community events, non-profit issues,
government and administration collaborations. I believe that Clayton
has the technical knowledge to lead in this capacity. More
importantly, I believe Clayton has the dedication to his community
that District 4 needs in order to be run with a moral compass that
Clayton Scrivner has always been able to read and follow. As a
citizen, a father, a clinical provider in our community, I would feel
safe and proud to know Clayton Scrivner would be in leadership at this
time. Please Consider Clayton for City Council.

Dear Esteemed City Council Members,
I'm writing in support of Clayton Scrivner's bid for the current District 4 vacancy. I had the
distinct pleasure of working with Mr. Scrivner for six years at Council Hall, where he served as
the Media Relations person for the Utah Office of Tourism, showcasing Utah as a premier global
tourism destination.
Clayton's efforts showcased Utah to national and international publications, increasing visitor
numbers to Utah and effectively decreasing Utah's average household tax rate significantly. And
he did it all tirelessly and with an affable grace that few can match. I am certain that he will bring
this same dedication, care and wit to this role should the people of District 4 elect him to the City
Council.
Sincerely,
Derek Mellus
June 1, 2026
To the Members of the Salt Lake City Council:
I hope that you appoint Clayton Scrivner to represent District 5.
I’ve seen rsthand his ability to navigate difficult and complex issues at both Salt Lake City and
Park City. He listens, works in a collaborative manner, and understands the role of a city council
member in the strong mayor form of government. No question, he would hit the ground running
and contribute quickly to the legislative process.
Most importantly, though, Clayton possesses a strong moral compass and has demonstrated in his
work and personal life a commitment to working respectfully with his peers, colleagues, and
coworkers. I wholeheartedly believe he would represent District 4 effectively and with integrity.
Regards,
David Everitt

Applicants are invited to include a letter of interest and resume to highlight their qualifications for the
position. If recommendation letters are provided, please email the letters to slcrecorderaslc.uov. All
information provided will become part of the public record. Applicants may not be employed by Salt Lake
City if selected for the vacancy. All information must be submitted prior to Monday, June 1 by 5 p.m.
Responses to the questions below will provide the City Council initial understanding of you and your goals.
Succinct and direct answers are appreciated.
1. What stands out to you as the top 3 successes or challenges facing District 4 that make you interested in
serving on the City Council?
All three are both successes and challenges: the supply of housing, incentivizing sustainable transportation, and cooperation between the
legislature and Salt Lake City.
1 - Salt Lake City's zoning reforms have meaningfully improved housing affordabili_(, but supply constraints persist.
2 - Free Fare February and SLCSD's free pass rollout have been major successes. I'm inclined toward carrots over sticks and would
need to be persuaded to accept means -tested environmentally -motivated incentives over universal benefits. I'm a Rio Grande Plan fan.
3 - Liberals in Utah have to be intentional about choosing their battles. I would try to emphasize common ground by finding ways to
increase the supply of market -rate housing and supporting the Mayor's public safety plan.
2. What are the issues facing the City as a whole that make you interested in serving on the City Council?
I would like to help accelerate Salt Lake City's progressive zoning and planning trajectory while putting more emphasis on
homeownership accessibility for occupants of multi -unit developments. Homeownership meaningfully reduces the likelihood of
involuntary displacement, and more occupant -ownership in apartment buildings will ensure Salt Lakers of all income levels will be more
likely to qualify for a mortgage.
3. With regard to the development and density occurring in Downtown, what do you think are the top 3
priorities or challenges, and why?
In order of my priority: cooperating with Republicans to maintain Salt Lakers' municipal autonomy; over -reliance on tax -increment
financing; and persuasively communicating positive externalities of density to the public: lower costs, cleaner air, and more upward
mobility.
4. What do you perceive is the role of the Council in addressing the historic inequities between Council
districts, specifically related to the quality of life in various communities, and disparity in City infrastructure
and service delivery.
I believe these inequities are both historic and ongoing and that every member of the council should be committed to equity between
districts. Political boundaries change but the changes elected officials made will reverberate. Service delivery and impact metrics should
be monitored closely to ensure that new and ongoing municipal programs do not inadvertently exacerbate inequity. Communication should
be clear and outreach should be accessible

To Whom It May Concern:
As a parent, a lifelong educator, and Head Coach for the Park City High School Speech and
Debate team, I have had the honor of witnessing the evolution of our program for over ten years.
I've seen our team blossom from an overlooked, sparsely funded program into one that thrives
and proudly represents the very best of Utah on both the local and national stages. None of the
historic milestones we claim today —including our recent consecutive state titles —would have
been possible without Gavin Serr's transformative leadership and influence.
While Gavin's roots with us are in academic debate, the precise skills that made him a master
coach are the exact attributes required of an exceptional City Councilman.
In his time with our program, Gavin has demonstrated a rare, natural ability to connect with and
elevate diverse groups of people. He knows how to pinpoint individual needs, bridge gaps in
understanding, and challenge people to look beyond the periphery to find creative solutions to
complex problems. In debate, this means designing specific strategies to bring the best out of
every student, including the most reserved. On the City Council, this exact talent will translate
into a leader who actively listens to constituents, synthesizes diverse viewpoints, and brings
collaborative, innovative problem -solving to complex municipal issues.
Furthermore, Gavin's leadership is defined by a deep commitment to equity and community
advocacy. He did not just focus on winning titles; he systematically elevated our program to new
heights of inclusivity. Gavin recognizes that opportunity should be based on merit, not means.
Through strategic local fundraising and tireless advocacy, he worked alongside me to ensure that
all students, regardless of socioeconomic background, had equal access to summer camps and
national travel tournaments. This proven track record of community organizing, resourcefulness,
and dedication to inclusivity shows that Gavin will fight passionately to ensure all Park City
residents have a voice and equal access to community resources.
Gavin is uniquely prepared to hit the ground running as a public servant. He possesses an acute,
rigorous understanding of public policy born from years of analyzing governance, economics,
and law. He communicates with absolute clarity and diplomacy, manages complex
administrative tasks with seamless professionalism, and inspires those around him to excel by
maintaining the highest standards of personal and fiscal accountability.
I cannot speak highly enough of Gavin Serr, nor can our community fully repay him for the
immense pride and success he has brought to our students and our state. He quite literally put
Park City on the national map in Public Forum Debate. I have no doubt that he will bring that
same fierce dedication, intellectual rigor, and integrity to the City Council. I offer him my
highest, unreserved recommendation.
Sincerely,
Anna M. Williams, Teacher and Coach

JAVIER CHAVEZ, JR., JD, MBA
Dear Salt Lake City Council: I live and work in District 4. I am very excited about this opportunity to serve
my community as a Council Member. I have been living in District 4 for over seven years. I am a small
business owner of my own law practice (I am an attorney focused on business matters) also located in
District 4, near Second & Second. My law practice is a certified minority -owned business. I have practiced
law for over 19 years. I was born and raised in Utah, I speak English and Spanish with 100% fluency.
My wife and I are raising our 3 small children in District 4: a five -year -old, a three -year -old, and a 6-month-
old special needs baby with Down Syndrome. Like many in my district, we are a multiracial, ethnic -minority
couple, I am Mexican -American, my wife is Korean -American. My wife is a medical doctor, and she also
works in District 4. We are a multi-lingual family: we speak English, Spanish, and Korean in our home.
I am keenly aware of the joys and struggles of raising a family, living, working, owning a small business,
being an ethnic minority, accessing city services, childcare, public safety, parks & recreation all within
District 4. I am looking forward to helping constituents in my district with their goals and needs.
My main objectives will be to ensure that my district gets fair and equitable city services and support. I am
particularly interested in topics of affordable housing, public safety, and economic opportunity for all. I will
work collaboratively with the Council as a team and seek to build consensus and bridges, avoiding discord.
I am qualified: I graduated with both a law degree and an MBA from Boston College in 2006. I graduated
from the University of Utah with a bachelor's degree in 2002. I also completed a Stanford University
Graduate School of Business Executive Education program certificate. I have worked for large international
law firms, Fortune 500 Companies, and small businesses. As a result of my professional journey as an
attorney, I have significant city government experience that includes zoning, permitting, licensing, taxes.
Of importance to Salt Lake City's hospitality industry, I have decades of food & beverage experience. My
family has owned Mexican restaurants in Northern Utah for over 35 years. I worked in restaurants my whole
life, working to pay for college. I also founded a craft brewery company from scratch. With these
experiences, I have special insights into the needs of culinary business owners and entrepreneurs.
In terms of transferable skills I can bring to the City Council, I currently serve on the governor appointed
Utah Board of Higher Education. This is the governing board for all 16 public state-owned Utah universities
and tech colleges, with billions of dollars in revenue, budgets, and assets. I also serve on the Board of
Trustees of Ogden Regional Medical Center, a $1.2 billion dollar revenue medical facility. Additionally, I
co-founded the Utah Hispanic Bar Association, an organization of Utah Latinx/Latina/o attorneys focused
on supporting our diverse communities (I was on the founding board of directors and I was the first
president). I have a Utah Property & Casualty (P&C) insurance license, so I understand risk management.
I look forward to serving with you and making our city a wonderful place to live and work for everyone.
Please note I am not related to former council person Eva Lopez Chavez in any way. I have never met
that person and have no past, nor current association.

Responses to the questions below will provide the City Council initial understanding of you and your goals.
Succinct and direct answers are appreciated.
1. What stands out to you as the top 3 successes or challenges facing District 4 that make you interested in
serving on the City Council?
District 4's greatest challenges are its greatest opportunities. The historical and creative
aspects of the communities are strong and worth preserving, while the displacement of its
diverse communities and low to middle income residents remains a constant divide given
the ongoing development of the city. Lack of access to behavioral health and housing
assistance continues to push vulnerable people into crisis. The identity, safety, and support
of the community is dependent on effective solutions to bring them together.
2. What are the issues facing the City as a whole that make you interested in serving on the City Council?
Systemic housing inequity demands bold zoning reform centered on affordability and
anti -displacement. Homelessness requires trauma -informed, housing -first solutions in
harmony with compassionate and comprehensive behavioral health and outreach services.
The council must also continue to act in both harmony with and effective opposition where
necessary to the state legislature to ensure the city's progression and vibrancy remain
protected and celebrated.
3. With regard to the development and density occurring in Downtown, what do you think are the top 3
priorities or challenges, and why?
Community benefit agreements must protect existing residents and cultural identity as
growth occurs. Affordable and mixed -income housing requirements should be mandatory
in all major developments, not optional. Infrastructure - transit, green space, and
pedestrian safety - must be funded proportionally to new density, ensuring livability for all
while achieving a balance of fostering growth and preserving cultural identity.
4. What do you perceive is the role of the Council in addressing the historic inequities between Council
districts, specifically related to the quality of life in various communities, and disparity in City infrastructure
and service delivery.
The Council must proactively and responsibly manage public resources toward a healthy
union of preserving the city's historical and diverse history with its current and future
underinvested communities. Budgets should be focused on the most effective solutions for
this rather than simple divisions based on population size or prominence. Resident voices,
particularly from marginalized or less prominent communities, should be centered in these
discussions, ensuring Salt Lake remains a welcoming place of opportunity and expression
for years to come.

Re: Application for Appointment - City Council District Four Vacancy
Dear Members of the Salt Lake City Council,
District Four has always been one of Salt Lake City's most complex and consequential districts as the
place where the city's competing identities, communities, economic ambitions, and sometimes
tensions can be most visible. Representing its people effectively requires someone with deep roots and
the skills to translate values into policy, with the personal breadth to engage the full spectrum of those
demographics authentically. I believe I am that person, and I am writing to ask for your confidence.
As a bisexual man, a husband, and a father of three, who came of age within the LDS community in
this state, I have spent my life navigating the spaces between communities that too often can be
treated as incompatible. I have learned what it means to hold identities that the world asks to
reconcile on its terms rather than my own. That experience has given me something I consider my
greatest qualification to contribute to the Council: the ability to understand and engage people
across deep cultural and ideological difference. Not by glossing over them, but by insisting all deserve
a voice at the table. in a community as layered as District Four, and a city that must constantly
negotiate its progressive identify in an often hostile political environment, that capacity is not a soft
credential. It is essential.
My wife, Katy, and I have built our life around these commitments. She is a lifelong public educator
and literacy specialist who now teaches second grade in the Salt Lake City School District. At her
school, the majority of students are English language learners and every student qualifies for food
support. For us, equal opportunity and access aren't mere ideological conversations, they are lived
daily realities we are passionate about. If is so vital to this city's future that all communities are
embraced, protected and empowered. That passion comes home with us every evening, and would

APPLICATION FOR APPOINTMENT
CITY COUNCIL VACANCY DISTRICT FOUR
Responses by Jennifer Napier -Pearce
1. What stands out to you as the top 3 successes or challenges facing District 4 that make you
interested in serving on the City Council?
Successes:
Vibrant neiahborhoods: District 4 has a rich multicultural, multigenerational population
and an eclectic vibe that I love, with historic districts, new high-rises, award -winning
restaurants, indie local shopping experiences, lively nightlife and world -class
entertainment. The city has done a great job creating vibrant, walkable and welcoming
corridors.
Pioneer Park: The renovation of Pioneer Park is ambitious and fun, and will bring new
energy to a rapidly growing part of the district. Kudos to the thorough public process the
plan went through and the emphasis on waterwise landscaping and public art.
Transit: In addition to living in District 4, 1 work downtown and frequently use transit to
get to meetings. District 4 has solid transit access throughout the district, but I would
continue to work with UTA to increase transit reliability and frequency.
2. What are the issues facing the City as a whole that make you interested in serving on the City
Council?
Affordability: The district is growing at a break -neck pace and we need more housing
options to meet the demand, especially for those with low and middle incomes. We want
people to know that it's possible to live, work and raise a family in the city, and that starts
with housing at a variety of price points.
Amenities: As the population grows, we need to make sure our streets, parks and public
spaces are beautiful, walkable and safe. Even as we provide basic services, we're the
capital city and should be a showpiece for residents and visitors alike. We have a
tremendous opportunity to prepare Salt Lake City to host the world again in 2034, so I
want to take advantage of this period of change to work together to beautify our city and
make strategic investments that will enhance our quality of life for years to come.
Belonaina.: Crucially, we need a city where everyone feels welcome and a strong sense
of community.
3. With regard to the development and density occurring in Downtown, what do you think are
the top 3 priorities or challenges, and why?
Housina options: We need to promote a mix of housing options. We need the many new
high -end apartments being constructed in downtown and around our urban core, and we
also need to make it easier to build housing at every income level. Living downtown
shouldn't just be for the affluent; we have to make sure that everyone is capable of
enjoying everything downtown has to offer. We should also work to preserve our
historical downtown areas, and make sure that character doesn't get lost in the
transition.
Transoortation: We can't bring in more people into the city without addressing
congestion. We have to make sure our roads are well maintained and safe for cars,
pedestrians and bikes while also making bus and TRAX service more practical.
Liveability: Quality of life is tied to good public spaces, places where people can gather,
recreate and explore. As we grow, these community hubs are becoming even more
important. I would push for more pocket parks, public art, trails, playgrounds, etc.
4. What do you perceive is the role of the Council in addressing the historic inequities between
Council districts, specifically related to the quality of life in various communities, and disparity in
City infrastructure and service delivery.
We can't ignore the injustices of the past, but we can learn from history and try to right past
wrongs through economic development, partnerships and participation. As a Council, we need
to work to grow the pie so that we have the resources to invest in every area of the city. We can
facilitate more public -private partnerships that benefit historically underserved areas of the city
such as the Goldman -Sachs tree planting effort on the west side and the massive investment by
the Larry H Miller Company in the Power District. At every move, we need to make deliberate
efforts to ensure residents from every part of the city are seen, heard and engaged in
decisionmaking.

Hello City Council
My name is Tim and I'm a long time district four resident. I'm writing to put my support
behind Jennifer Starley for the seat. She would be an excellent choice to represent us. A
candidate I do not feel is a good fit is Austin Taylor. He holds deeply conservative views in
religion and other areas that make him an inappropriate selection to represent such a
diverse section of our community.

Julian Jurkoic
To the Salt Lake City Council,
Please accept this letter as my formal expression of interest in the vacant City Council
seat representing District 4.
As I hope you can sympathize, my desire to serve on this council is borne out of a deep
love for this city. I wasn't born here, nor did I grow up nearby, and when I moved to SLC I didn't
know a soul in the state of Utah; I've lived on both coasts, across the mountain west, and
traveled to cities on every continent; I work a remote job that could take me anywhere I like. I
chose Salt Lake City, I choose it every day.
While my professional background is not politics or government, it has prepared me to
approach public service with rigor, curiosity, and care. At my core, I will always be an engineer; I
value clear thinking, careful analysis, and a bias toward efficient, practical solutions. Beyond
that, engineering has taught me to value rigor, context, humility, and the scientific process. That
is to say, I approach things with an open mind, ready to be convinced to change my opinion if
presented with compelling evidence. "Data -driven" is an easy phrase to use, and it's certainly
not an adjective I'd shy away from, but good judgment requires more than data alone. It requires
understanding how that data was produced, what it misses, and how it fits into the broader
reality people experience in their daily lives. This is the mindset I would bring to public service.
What political experience I have is largely passion based. As some of you know, I've
been heavily involved with the local non profit advocacy organization Sweet Streets on a
volunteer basis for some time now. My service with them has opened my eyes to much of the
world of local government and politics that I was largely oblivious to my entire life. I've come to
have a great admiration for the people who are working everyday to better our community, our
city. I strive to serve my city as I see others do. That was the basis for my joining of Sweet
Streets; I came to them much as I come to you now, with a desire to do what I can to better our
city.
All this is to say, serving with you on the council, working to better this city I love, would
be the highest honor I could ask for. If appointed, I would strive to serve with integrity,
thoughtfulness, and genuine respect for the people of District 4 and Salt Lake City as a whole. I
would approach the role ready to listen carefully with an open mind, communicate clearly, and
work collaboratively to help our city grow in a way that is equitable, sustainable, and reflective of
the people who call it home.
Thank you for your consideration,
Julian Jurkoic

Responses to the questions below will provide the City Council initial understanding of you and your goals.
Succinct and direct answers are appreciated.
1. What stands out to you as the top 3 successes or challenges facing District 4 that make you interested in
serving on the City Council?
District 4's top success is its real gains in density and housing stock. That success also underscores the
coning measures
support housing growth and affordability. At the same time, it masks two gaps. First, the district is
capiiai-rich in deveiopmeni and capiiai-poor in livability: our C;RA project areas generate housing increment
that flows citywide, while resident -submitted proiects like Ballpark traffic safety went unfunded. Second, the
budget's largest new homelessness dollar funds Police salaries while prevention programs were cut. I'd
push ior resident-si ibmitted CIP projects and for prevention f, inding to be protecied alongside nnSe
2. What are the issues facing the City as a whole that make you interested in serving on the City Council?
Salt Lake City is in a fiscal pivot year. The proposed budget moves recurring costs off
one-time money tnrougn a 4ii j.b million property tax increase, more than $i 3 miiiion in
input costs are rising. As an economist, I want the City's long -run fiscal health protected
with the same discipline we are using to address the short -run. Patching with one-time
mone inyain c-.
3. With regard to the development and density occurring in Downtown, what do you think are the top 3
priorities or challenges, and why?
Downtown is growing, and the question is whet/her we grow it well. Three priorities. First,

than isolatedbywide, fast roads f;Pnond fill the empty lots and surfeice narking that
produce little tax value and no housing, using the CRA tools the City already has. Third,
the homelessness response has to Keep pace with the density: tnis budget tunas
enforcement While cutting prevention which ig the Inirnng Orecticn.
4. What do you perceive is the role of the Council in addressing the historic inequities between Council
districts, specifically related to the quality of life in various communities, and disparity in City infrastructure
and service delivery.
Historic inequity between districts was produced through decades of redlining and other
Itat iiilfi pdicies. Undoing ii requires the use of levers the Counc( actud(y controls such clear
example from this budget is the zeroing of the CRA's Deeply Affordable housing loan
program. Deeply atfordable units only get built with government subsidy, and they need

the Recorder's Office before Thursday, May 28 at noon to allow time for arrangements.
1. What stands out to you as the top 3 successes or challenges facing District 4 that make you interested in
serving on the Citv Council?
Salt Lake City has maintained an exemplary level of communication and transparency with its
constituents, which is an overall success to be modeled in other cities. However, as a resident of District
4, it can be a challenge to come across specifically District 4 communications. As a council member, my
goal is to increase district communication, outreach, and education.
Environmental concern is, of course, prevalent city and statewide; District 4, however, is uniquely
situated in that we are in the center of downtown as well as the outskirts of the University of Utah. Those
that live just on the edge of the benches experience a different impact from the air quality, wind and dust,
rain, and snow, and it can be a challenge to address the differences in environmental needs and concerns.
For example, those that reside downtown may experience harsher effects from air quality, and those of us
closer to the bench experience more dangerous roads after heavy snow and rain.
Walkability is something that is interesting and unique to District 4. Residents that live in District 4 are,
overall, within walking distance of grocery stores, parks and recreation, general entertainment, and
pedestrian centered infrastructure. However, the further from downtown, the sparser these amenities are;
bike lanes are narrower, sidewalks less maintained, bus stops less comfortable, and stores and restaurants
farther away. There are several zones within the most eastern and western parts of District 4 that are full
of potential but lacking in development that I as a resident have much hope for, and as a council member
aim to advance.
2. What are the issues facing the Citv as a whole that make you interested in serving on the Citv Council?
Salt Lake City, not only as the capital but as the most populous city, is often the center of major events,
news, controversy, and celebrations. Often, major news events from outside of Salt Lake City are
portrayed as `Salt Lake City Proper'. Environmental concerns, affordable housing, an ever-expanding
population, wealth inequality, and ever -so- critical input and oversight from the state government pose a
unique challenge. Not only do we represent the city itself, but Utahns as a whole. It is important to show
constituents that they have value as city residents, beyond the perception from any other outside source.
Addressing the concerns and wishes of the people of District 4 to the city and to the State facilitates trust
and longevity for all of us, and ensures a population built on a strong foundation, corner to corner. I know
that having a seat on City Council will give me an opportunity to represent my city and my community
while solving these issues on a larger scale.
3. With regard to the development and density occurring in Downtown, what do you think are the top 3
priorities or challenges, and whv?
Communication remains a major priority and challenge. Due to the number of people that reside in and
travel to District 4, there are always going to be developments, closures, re-routes, and more. Maintaining
clear and direct communication with residents not only helps them better themselves and their lives but
also provides a welcoming atmosphere for visitors from other districts, cities, states, and countries.
Affordable housing is a concern nationwide, and we in Salt Lake City are no strangers to it. Though
Mayor Mendenhall has created and maintained a realistic plan to tackle the ongoing housing crisis,
residents may not have the knowledge as to what that plan entails. Clear education, outreach,
communication, and inter -departmental teamwork is a challenge that, in the end, results in all residents
thriving.
Many residents have shown concern over the ongoing plans for developing different locations in the city.
This, of course, is inevitable with a growing population and an increase in leisure and tourism
opportunities. Overall, cultivating realistic expectations with residents is a challenge that will be an open -
ended and ever -changing goal.
4. What do you perceive is the role of the Council in addressing the historic ineauities between Council
districts, specifically related to the aualitv of life in various communities, and disparity in Citv
infrastructure and service deliverv.
Community is something we as humans need. In the structure of society in which we live, inequities are
prevalent in all aspects of life. City Council, at its core, is the heart of a city government. I have a passion
for people and community, and the talent and skills to serve them. A seat on City Council provides me
with a direct path to bettering my home, as well as making an impact on the people. After all, elevating
the voice of the people, which is the goal of our representatives.
Unfortunately, not every person has the capability orpower, nor does everyone feel safe enough to speak
for themselves and their needs. This is why having a local council made up of districts makes all the
difference in those residents having the opportunity to express their right to be heard, despite historic
inequities - We are only as strong as our most vulnerable populations. Those populations deserve equal
representation, and a council that is willing to be attentive to not only the residents, but other council
members and their needs, as well. Because City Council cannot hear and address every individual resident
and their concerns, community liaisons, the police -based community response team, advocates, each
council member, and more all work together toward the end goal: Better Salt Lake City and encourage all
its residents to thrive.

To Whom It May Concern,
It is with great pleasure that I write this letter of recommendation for Kaytlynn Scott. As
the President of From Chemo to Crown, I have had the privilege of working closely with
Kaytlynn since January of 2024. During this time, I have witnessed, firsthand, her
commitment to outreach and advocacy.
In her role as Appearances Coordinator, she has shown to be dedicated, thoughtful and
is always the first to volunteer for difficult tasks. This year, she has spearheaded our
involvement with multiple new local agencies and has made it her personal mission to
make Chemo to Crown a recognizable name in more Utah Communities. She dedicates
several hours each week to ensure that our organization can serve as many Utah
families as possible and because of her hard work, we have connected with and
donated to more families than in previous years by at least fifty percent.
Before Kaytlynn took on the role of Appearances Coordinator, she led our Refer a
Family program. In that position, I really got to see what makes Kaytlynn stand out
most, and that is how deeply she truly cares about people and our community. She has
a deep understanding of how important it is for people to feel heard, supported and
connected to key resources. Kaytlynn brings compassion and empathy to every
interaction she has, especially when working with people going through difficult
situations. Her dedication to supporting vulnerable members of our community shows
not only with her volunteer work with Chemo to Crown, but also through her
professional advocacy efforts.
I believe Kaytlynn Scott would serve Salt Lake City with a rare mix of empathy, strategic
thinking, resilience and a genuine commitment to the people. I am confident that her
passion for advocacy and drive to create positive change will make her an asset to the
City Council.

alt Lake City Counsel,
I am honored to write this letter of recommendation for Kaytlynn Scott in support of her
candidacy for the Salt Lake City Council. I have had the privilege of working alongside her in
our office and on numerous cases, where she has consistently demonstrated compassion,
integrity, professionalism, and a deep commitment to serving our community.
As a victim advocate, Kaytlynn has dedicated herself to helping individuals through some
of the most difficult moments of their lives. Her passion for assisting people on both a
community-wide and personal level is evident in every interaction she has. She approaches each
situation with empathy and respect while maintaining the professionalism necessary to navigate
complex and emotionally charged circumstances.
One of Kaytlynn’s greatest strengths is her ability to listen carefully and objectively. Her
training and experience as a victim advocate have taught her that there are always multiple
perspectives to every story. At the same time, her strong judgment, attention to detail, and ability
to discern truth from emotion have made her an invaluable asset in our work. These skills are
essential not only in victim advocacy but also in public service and leadership roles such as
serving on the Salt Lake City Council.
In addition to her professional abilities, Kaytlynn possesses the qualities that
communities look for in elected leaders. She is approachable, thoughtful, fair-minded, and
genuinely invested in improving the lives of others. She understands the challenges facing
individuals and families because she has worked directly with people from all walks of life. Her
first-hand experience helping vulnerable members of the community gives her a unique
perspective that would greatly benefit the residents of Salt Lake City.
I have no doubt that Kaytlynn would serve with the same dedication, honesty, and
compassion on the City Council that she demonstrates every day in her professional career. She
is someone who not only listens to the concerns of others but actively works to find meaningful
and practical solutions. Her commitment to public service, combined with her ability to connect
with people and make sound decisions, makes her exceptionally qualified for this position.
I strongly recommend Kaytlynn Scott for the Salt Lake City Council and am confident
she would represent the community with integrity and distinction.
Sincerely,
Ellysa Hendriksen, Esq.

Succinct and direct answers are appreciated.
1. What stands out to you as the top 3 successes or challenges facing District 4 that make you interested in
serving on the City Council?
Recent investigation has found that the areas around TRAX stations have been largely successful in averting residential displacement for low and
moderate -Income residents through a combination of densification, LIHTEC projects and affordability incentives. However, that same data demonstrates the
same IS not True Tor extremely-loW income nousenDIOS. 1 his maicateS a Challenge: now oo we ensure communities or all Socioeconomic oaoKgrounas and
ethnicities are able to reside In the wonderful D4 community.
The 200 South Transit Corridor is quickly becoming an iconic centerpiece of D4, yet the difficult construction period also led the legislature to limit SLC's
ability to make decisions over its own roads. Our challenge is to continue making D4 a livable, walkable community in spite of the restrictions placed on us.
Finally, District 4 is going to be the heart of the 2034 Olympic Winter Games. This presents a remarkable opportunity for us, but also risks leaving
marginalized communities and workers out. We must work to make an Olympics for Everyone. The organizing work that SEIU-United Service Workers has
uone in LA around one vlympic vvage snoula serve as a moaei.
2. What are the issues facing the City as a whole that make you interested in serving on the City Council?
I am deeply concerned about the ways that our city is under threat by both the State Legislature and the Federal
d It ayalti Galt Lake Gity, but Gatrrrtmnt. Tlnurinaitut rs c,& h i,e- not -just -ta h., .,rrniunl: -s -- a:; tc the very

nmkin individuals
and the city itself. Because
of the power these institutions hold, we must maintain a productive relationship. To do so, we must continue to pursue
resources to better nur communities while aNn working to further local autonomy to the maximum_extent possible.
3.
With regard to the development and density occurring in Downtown, what do you think are the top 3 priorities
or challenges, and why? The
fulfillment of the original downtown master plan has been exciting, and I believe that Salt Lake City should

do you perceive is the role of the Council in addressing the historic inequities between Council districts, specifically
related to the quality of life in various communities, and disparity in City infrastructure and service

Responses to the questions below will provide the City Council initial understanding of you and your goals.
Succinct and direct answers are appreciated.
1. What stands out to you as the top 3 successes or challenges facing District 4 that make you interested in
serving on the City Council?
Parking problems in District 4 often lead to blocked lanes, and bike lanes. The recent redesign of 200 S is a great start.
However. there are a few more edits and recommendations that can be made.
Many storefronts in the area have remained vacant, creating a downward pressure on the surrounding area. There
should be incentive to persuade these locations to no longer be vacant.
I he tormer Vantages I heatre lot should be returned to RDA ownership. I he stipulation of this lot was Tor Hines to
develop this location. Since this has not happened the city should take this back.
2. What are the issues facing the City as a whole that make you interested in serving on the City Council?
Current conditions are rather tense at this time. With datacenter issues, water issues, and process problems, the citizens
of Salt I ake City need to know that( are heard and understand_ As an engineer by trade, I can see the problems the city
faces along with how the residents feel day to day, and try to think of ways that we can create workarounds while issues
are addressed.
Government should move slower but not at the expense of the citizens. During which creating workarounds while a
issue is resolved will show how we can make things happen. Along with not forgetting about past issues that still need
addressing.
3. With regard to the development and density occurring in Downtown, what do you think are the top 3
priorities or challenges, and why?
The current economy is in rough shape at this time. I can foresee a slowdown in construction due to the current
conditions. What the City can do is review the current process for construction permitting and make sure we are not
using process's that over regulate this which adds cost.
Several buildings within Salt Lake Gity are also not used and sitting vacant. Some talling apart. Within reason, the city
should incentivize the removal of buildings, or the conversion of existing structures.
Out of all of this, we should also not give money to developers. They should be taxed into development.
4. What do you perceive is the role of the Council in addressing the historic inequities between Council
districts, specifically related to the quality of life in various communities, and disparity in City infrastructure
and service delivery.
Cities are not meant to be static. Cities are ever changing, ever evolving into something new.
Historic .,laces arc o fan+.&afi^ way

Leaving places that were built in the past, but not up kept at the expense of safety is not what
consider historic. Historic sites happen because a place is reused, renewed, not forgotten. Let use
what we have and where neerieri renew.

City- Council Vacancy District Four
Applicant Questions
1. What stands out to you as the top 3 successes or challenges facing District 4 that
make you interested in serving on the City Council?
The top challenge facing Salt Lake City is maintaining community safety while
continuing to advance meaningful criminal justice and behavioral health reforms. We
must support individuals experiencing homelessness, mental illness, substance misuse,
and trauma while also ensuring accountability and safe neighborhoods for residents,
visitors, and businesses.
Another major challenge is affordability amid rapid growth. As housing demand
increases, we must ensure long-time residents are not priced out and that young people
and working families can still establish roots in our community.
One of the city's greatest successes has been improving livability in the downtown core
through investments in transportation infrastructure, entertainment and cultural
opportunities, and a growing culinary scene that serves residents across a range of price
points. It is also important to highlight the importance of the 9Line trail, Jordan River
Parkway Trail restoration, and the new Pioneer Park redevelopment efforts. All enhance
the beauty and livability of our city.
2. What are the issues facing the City as a whole that make you interested in serving
on the City Council?
Salt Lake City is the center of the state's homeless response system, hosting several
shelters, treatment centers, and supportive housing resources for individuals experiencing
homelessness, substance misuse, and mental illness. Addressing these challenges requires
meaningful collaboration between the city, county, and state to ensure adequate
resources, coordinated services, and long-term solutions.
These issues should not fall solely on Salt Lake City to manage. I am interested in
serving on the City Council because I believe we need collaborative leadership focused
on practical, compassionate, and common-sense solutions that improve outcomes for both
vulnerable individuals and the broader community. I believe the Public Safety Plan is
something we need to continue to support and advance, while also embracing the efforts
of the Leifman Project, the Sequential Intercept Model, and engage in the broader
conversation of supportive housing with comprehensive wrap -around services and case
management.
3. With regard to the development and density occurring in Downtown, what do you
think are the top 3 priorities or challenges, and why?
Community safety remains one of the most important priorities facing Downtown Salt
Lake City. Like many major cities, we are navigating challenges related to homelessness,
substance misuse, mental health crises, and quality -of -life concerns. Addressing these
issues requires continued investment, regional collaboration, and balanced policies that
support both public safety and compassionate intervention.
Downtown revitalization has also been a major success for the city. Investments in
Pioneer Park, Main Street's open street weekends, and the future Entertainment District
are helping create a more vibrant and active urban core. As these efforts continue, the city
must remain focused on affordability and accessibility so residents across all income
levels can benefit from and participate in Downtown's growth.
Finally, transportation and infrastructure will continue to place significant demands on
the City's budget. As Salt Lake City grows into a larger urban center, we should continue
prioritizing multimodal transportation options while also investing in long-term utility
and infrastructure upgrades necessary to support the city for the next century.
4. What do you perceive is the role of the Council in addressing the historic inequities
between Council districts, specifically related to the quality of life in various
communities, and disparity in City infrastructure and service delivery?
The Council's most powerful tool is the city budget, which determines how and where
the city prioritizes investment. The budget gives the Council the ability to address historic
inequities by directing resources toward communities that have experienced decades of
underinvestment in infrastructure, services, and economic opportunity.
While I would represent District 4, I recognize there are neighborhoods across Salt Lake
City that deserve targeted investment and long-term support. I think of Rose Park,
Glendale, Fairpark, and Ballpark. The city has a real opportunity to help strengthen and
reimagine these communities, but that work must be done intentionally and
collaboratively to avoid displacement and the loss of longtime residents through
unchecked gentrification.

If selected to serve as the next Councilmember for District Four, I will work every day to build a
city that is safe, responsive, and worthy of the people who call it home. A city where residents
trust that services will be delivered effectively. A city where people feel safe in their
neighborhoods and public spaces. And a city where opportunity is not dependent on zip code or
income.
I believe the most pressing challenge facing Salt Lake City is community safety, particularly at
the intersection of criminal justice and behavioral health. We cannot treat these as separate
problems. The city must continue to advance reforms that respond to homelessness, mental
illness, substance use disorder, and trauma, while also ensuring accountability and safety in our
public spaces. Both are necessary. Neither works without the other.
Through my role as Intergovernmental Liaison for the Salt Lake County District Attorney's
Office, I work across criminal justice agencies, behavioral health providers, nonprofit partners,
and local governments. I have been closely involved with many of the systems that sit at the
center of this challenge, including Salt Lake County's Leifman initiative (the Sequential
Intercept Model), SLCPD's Project CONNECT and TOPS program, the Third District Court's
Drug Court, Mental Health Court, and Veterans Treatment Court, and Salt Lake City Justice
Court's Familiar Faces program. I am also familiar with the Salt Lake City Public Safety Plan
and the broader network of regional efforts aimed at improving outcomes. These programs
matter. And they only work if they are connected, supported, and aligned across jurisdictions.
Real progress requires collaboration, trust, and shared accountability across institutions that are
too often siloed.
My path to this work has been shaped by a commitment to public service. I am a graduate of the
University of Utah, where I earned a Bachelor of Science in Political Science with minors in
Economics and Campaign Management. Early in my career, I worked on the 2016 presidential
campaign in New Hampshire and with Project Bread: The Walk for Hunger in Boston. Those
experiences confirmed my commitment to public service, but they also made it clear that Utah is
where I wanted to build my life.
After returning to Utah and graduating from college, I worked for the Maliheh Free Clinic,
supporting efforts to provide no -cost healthcare services to low-income residents. I also provided
grant writing assistance to Impact Mental Health, a sister organization that offered no -cost
mental health care services to individuals experiencing serious mental illness. Those experiences
deepened my understanding of the barriers many individuals face in accessing healthcare,
housing stability, and supportive services. I later joined United Way of Salt Lake, where I served
in fundraising and donor engagement leadership roles focused on advancing opportunities for
children and families across Utah through collaborative, system -level solutions.
Since January 2023, I have served as Intergovernmental Liaison for the Salt Lake County District
Attorney's Office, supporting coordination between government agencies, behavioral health
systems, and community organizations working to improve public safety outcomes. I serve as a
milestone lead for My Brother's Keeper SLC, co-chair of Promise South Salt Lake's Gangs and
Substance Misuse Committee, a committee member of the Utah Shattering Silence Coalition and
the Utah Coalition for Serious Mental Illness, the Community Partners Against Hate, and the Salt
Lake County Crisis Response Task Force, a member of Day Won Utah, and a board member of
the Restorative Justice Collaborative of Utah. Across all of this work, I have stayed focused on
the same goal: building systems that are more connected, more effective, and more responsive to
the people they serve.
These experiences have shaped how I see public service: it is practical, relational, and deeply
rooted in whether people feel seen, safe, and supported in their own community.
I believe Salt Lake City's future depends on our willingness to meet complex challenges with
both compassion and seriousness. I would be honored to bring my experience, relationships, and
commitment to service to the City Council. Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Nicholas Pensari

Subject: (EXTERNAL) Support for Nicholas Pensari SLC D4 City Council
Dear Councilmember Wharton,
My name is Samantha Pensari, and I am writing to express my strong support for Nicholas Pensari for the
Salt Lake City District 4 City Council position. I believe Nicholas is exceptionally qualified to serve as a
leader for our city. He brings years of experience working on political campaigns, serving on the boards of
community-focused organizations, and building relationships across the community. He understands the
importance of public safety, community engagement, and effective local leadership.
Over the past several years, I have been actively involved in Utah’s environmental community and have
worked alongside political candidates and elected officials. Through those experiences, I have seen
firsthand what effective leadership looks like—and what it does not. I believe Nicholas represents the next
generation of public servants who will bring energy, integrity, and thoughtful leadership to our city.
Nick is passionate, collaborative, a strong listener, driven, and deeply community-oriented. These are the
qualities I want in a City Council member. He has demonstrated a genuine commitment to serving others
and bringing people together to solve challenges facing our community.
While I may be Nick’s younger sister, I also consider him a role model. I have watched his dedication to
public service and his willingness to listen to people from all walks of life. I hope the residents of District 4
will have the same opportunity to build relationships with him and benefit from his leadership.
I respectfully urge you to support Nicholas Pensari for the Salt Lake City District 4 City Council position.
Thank you,
Samantha Pensari

Succinct and direct answers are appreciated.
1. What stands out to you as the top 3 successes or challenges facing District 4 that make you interested in
serving on the City Council?
Over the past five years, District 4 has experienced significant growth and development. That progress has crae alted

distinctly local. Une or the dlstncrs greatest successes has peen Its empnasis on walKapllity and plKeapnlry. As a member
of the City Council, I would be committed to advancing policies that support thoughtful growth and development while
ensuring that our city remains affordable, accessible, and welcoming to a diverse range of individuals and families. 2.
What are the issues facing the City as a whole that make you interested in serving on the City Council? The
issues of greatest concern to me are homelessness, the shortage of affordable housing, and the proposed ICE uetenuurt
uentci. Ms a %.ny wunui nlerlluel, i wuwu wuiK to ueuei urtueistarru ule uenieis w exNmaiiny dnuiUdUle housing
and identify practical ways to encourage its development within the constraints imposed by the state. I would also
seek to ensure that changes to city laws and policies do not criminalize people experiencing homelessness, but instead
expand access to treatment, support, and services that help individuals achieve long-term stability. In addition, would
remain committed to ensuring that Salt Lake City continues to be a welcoming community by supporting policies and
pmgramc thnt pmnrinte the safety and well -hying of all ragirtPntc rPgardlPss of immigration status 3.
With regard to the development and density occurring in Downtown, what do you think are the top 3 priorities
or challenges, and why? As
downtown continues to experience significant growth and development, I am concerned that this growth may not be guided by a responsibility
is to articulate a clear vision for the kind of downtown the community wants to create. In the 20 years I have lived in District 4, 1
have never been contacted by my ON Council representative or asked about my priorities for the neighborhood. As a Citv Council member,
1 would make it a priority to hear directly from residents about their hopes for downtown. The development of the new entertainment
district also risks creating a more siloed downtown, similar to what has happened with City Creek, where visitors do not engage
with downtown as a whole. At the same time, new housing presents an opportunity to reverse that trend and foster a truly 24/7 downtown,
with services and amenities that support the people who live there, not just entertainment uses. Achieving that vision will require meaningful
input from diverse constituencies and a clear strategy for how downtown should evolve over the next three to five years. 4.
What do you perceive is the role of the Council in addressing the historic inequities between Council districts,
specifically related to the quality of life in various communities, and disparity in City infrastructure and
service delivery. I
believe the city has made meaningful efforts to address these inequities by prioritizing west side neighborhoods and projects for and
programs that further enhance quality of life across the city. The new 400 South Viaduct Trail and the redevelopment of Glendale Park
are strong examples of the kiAd of investrnant thnt Cmn etWngthen nga9hhnrhryyic I Wn, ild hl imlij on that WnMentuM hy gxpindng— ways

To the Salt Lake City Council,
It is my honor to submit my application for the District 4 City Council vacancy. I have lived in
Salt Lake City for 30 years, including 22 in District 4. Throughout my time as a SLC resident, I
have continually worked and volunteered in service of the community.
When 1 first moved to SLC, I worked as a probation case manager for the Salt Lake County
criminal justice division, spending my days meeting with individuals in the old jail that once
stood where the SLC Public Library is now located. It was a fascinating introduction to my new
home and gave me an immediate understanding of the city's complexity and the needs of its
residents. Since then, I have worked for several nonprofit organizations that serve and advocate
for our most vulnerable community members.
In addition, I served for eight years on the Community Development and Capital Improvements
Projects (CDCIP) advisory board, including three years as chair. That experience gave me
valuable insight into city funding, the roles of city departments, and the process of prioritizing
improvements across the city. I believe this background would serve me well on the City
Council and enable me to contribute effectively from the start.
Most recently, I have served for nearly two years on the city's Human Rights Commission and
currently serve as vice chair. This role has deepened my understanding of city policy and how
new programs are implemented. I believe that experience would also allow me to contribute
thoughtfully and effectively as a member of the Salt Lake City Council.
I am seeking this opportunity as a deeper way to serve my community. As reflected in my
resume, my years of experience in community service, program management, and nonprofit
leadership have prepared me well for this role. Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Pamela Silberman

What stands out to you as the top 3 successes or challenges facing District
4 that make you interested in serving on the City Council?
Outside of the major challenges the City and State face as a whole, affordable housing,
water usage, and air quality, these stand out.
Navigating Changing Neighborhoods
Where I've lived for the past 12 years is rapidly changing. At least six major
development projects are either proposed, underway, or already under construction
within 2 blocks of our house. The old Pizza Hut site and several residential lots to the
north are being discussed for redevelopment, the former Office Furniture building has
been razed and is for sale, and projects are already moving forward at the former
Village Inn, Office Max, Xerox, and Modern Display and these are the projects in my
neighborhood, similar pockets exist throughout District 4.
These projects are going to dramatically change the feel of the neighborhood. While
change can absolutely feel uncomfortable, it also creates opportunities. These
mixed -use developments can help provide more housing options for younger residents
and create opportunities for people to stay invested in Salt Lake City long term. They
also continue building an urban corridor along 400 South that is connected to public
transit, downtown, and the University.
As a small business owner and community leader, I also see opportunities for local
businesses, gathering spaces, and walkable commercial activity to grow alongside this
new residential density. To me, the challenge for District 4 is not whether change is
coming, it's how we intentionally manage that change in a way that keeps
neighborhoods connected, livable, and vibrant and not long blocks of sterile empty
storefronts.
Managing Momentum and Opportunities Thoughtfully
District 4 is the cultural and economic heart of Salt Lake City, and downtown is
becoming more vibrant every year. The reopening of the Salt Lake Temple, preparation
for the 2034- Olympics, the proposed Entertainment District, and continued
redevelopment throughout the city all represent major opportunities for Salt Lake City.
At the same time, these projects bring real challenges and require leadership that
understands the many stakeholders involved. Downtowns do not thrive because of one
project alone. They thrive when residents feel connected to their neighborhoods, when
arts and culture are supported, when local businesses succeed, and when public
spaces feel.active and welcoming.
Throughout my career, I've learned that long-term success almost always comes from
bringing diverse groups together around shared goals. I believe District 4 works best
when residents, small businesses, major employers, developers, and community
organizations all have a seat at the table.
As a business owner in District 7, I've witnessed firsthand the significant growth
occurring in Sugar House and the tensions that can arise between residents,
businesses, and developers. One cannot underestimate the importance of
communication and creating opportunities for collaboration while navigating change.
Will every decision make everyone happy? Probably not. But I believe our shared goal
is the same: ensuring District 4 and Salt Lake City continue moving forward in a way
that benefits the broader community.
Becoming More Connected
At the end of the day, I'm a transportation nerd. I love public transit, I ride my bike
constantly,.rl regularly walk to coffee shops and restaurants, and my wife and I share
one vehicle.
To me, a successful District 4 gives people options. Some residents will drive, others will
bike, Walk, qr use transit, and good transportation planning should improve accessibility
and connectivity for everyone. I don't think transportation conversations should become
cars versus bikes versus pedestrians." The real opportunity is creating a transportation
ecosystem that makes getting around Salt Lake City feel easier, safer, and more
enjoyable.
While District 4 already has substantial parking infrastructure in and around downtown,
the larger opportunity is improving connectivity, walkability, bike and pedestrian
infrastructure, and transit access so people feel encouraged to spend time in
neighborhoods, support local businesses, and participate more actively in city life.
believe active streets, connected neighborhoods, and accessible transportation
options area major part of what creates energy, economic vitality, and long-term quality
of life in.a city.
What are the issues facing the City as a whole that make you interested in
serving on the City Council?
Salt Lake City is entering a pivotal period with the reopening of Temple Square,
preparation for the 2034 Olympics, major redevelopment projects throughout the city,
continued population growth, and increasing affordability challenges facing residents
across Salt Lake City. I'm interested in serving on the Council because I believe the
decisions made over the next several years will significantly shape the future of our
neighborhq,ods, downtown, businesses, and residents.
One issue I care deeply about is affordability and retaining younger residents. As a
small business owner and employer, I see firsthand how many younger workers
struggle to picture long-term stability or attainable homeownership in Salt Lake City.
Younger residents are essential to maintaining a vibrant District 4 and a strong city
overall. I believe Salt Lake must continue expanding housing options, including "missing
middle" horsing, while also building neighborhoods that residents feel proud to call
home.
I'm passionate about making sure downtown and the unique neighborhoods of District 4
are places that locals are excited to visit and to show off. District 4 and downtown are
economic and cultural hubs for the city, but long-term success requires more than
simply constructing new developments. We need active streets, strong public spaces,
walkability, ,transportation options, local businesses, and strategic planning that creates
energy, connection, and community throughout Salt Lake City.
Finally, I'm interested in helping the city operate thoughtfully and transparently during a
time of major growth and change. A consistent thread I heard across my many
conversations is that effective leadership requires collaboration, understanding budgets
and city operations, listening to diverse perspectives, and balancing the needs of
residents, businesses, and the city as a whole.
In addition to my diverse work history, my time serving on the BAB has made me
hyperaware of the challenges small business owners face when trying to establish
themselves. I believe this gives me a grounded and practical perspective that would add
value to the Council during this important period for Salt Lake City.
With regard to the development and density occurring in Downtown, what
do you think are the top 3 priorities or challenges, and why?
Managing development and density is never easy, but I think Downtown Salt Lake is, in
many ways, better positioned to handle growth than other parts of the city. Downtowns
are, by definition, dense and evolving places. Successful downtowns are not built
around one single project, they succeed when housing, businesses, transportation,
public spaces, arts, culture, and community all work together to create an active and
connected environment.
Gathering input from all stakeholders
In my opinion, this is the most important part of the process. Downtown projects involve
a wide range of stakeholders, and it is the responsibility of the District 4 Council
Member to listen carefully, understand competing priorities, and help identify the best
path forward for the community as a whole.
During a- resent Business Advisory Board meeting, representatives from Japantown
shared concerns regarding the proposed Entertainment District and the importance of
protecting and preserving the Salt Lake Buddhist Temple, Japanese Christian Church,
and Japanese Garden. At the same time, they expressed a desire to remain woven into
the future of the district rather than pushed aside by it.
That conversation reinforced for me how important strong relationships and open
communication are throughout the development process. Good development requires
collaboration, trust, and the ability to balance competing interests so growth strengthens
the community rather than disconnects it.
Throughout.my career, I've learned that successful long-term projects almost always
require bringing diverse groups together around shared goals.
Managing growth strategically
Growth is coming to Salt Lake City whether we like it or not, and I believe the challenge
is making sure we manage that growth intentionally and strategically. That requires
understanding the city's Master Plan, zoning code, infrastructure capacity, transportation
systems, and the needs of residents and businesses.
I think the city recently took a major step forward by consolidating 27 commercial and
mixed -use zoning districts into six streamlined mixed -use zones. Simplifying and
modernizing ,the zoning process helps provide clearer expectations for developers,
residents, and city staff while reducing unnecessary approval hurdles for projects that
already align with the city's long-term vision.
0
To me, strategic growth means planning for long-term community outcomes, not just
increasing density. It requires predictable rules, pracitacl oversight, and development
that supports walkability, transit, active streets, local businesses, and public spaces
people want to use and enjoy.
Improving. Transparency and Public Understanding
One challenge in downtown development is helping residents understand how decisions are
actually made and where City Council can meaningfully influence outcomes. Some projects
require zoning changes or additional approvals that involve direct Council input, while others
already comply with existing zoning or are shaped by state law and move forward without
council input.
I believe residents deserve clear communication about what the City can control, where public
input can have the greatest impact, and how community concerns are being considered
throughout the process. Frustration grows when people feel decisions are happening around
them rather'than with them.
Even when.the Council does not have direct authority over a project, it still plays an important
role in facilitating communication, increasing transparency, and helping connect residents,
businesses, developers and City staff. Strong public engagement builds trust and leads to better
long-term outcomes for the community.
My background has taught me how to navigate complex issues, communicate across diverse
groups, and help people work toward solutions even when priorities are different.
What do you perceive is the role of Council in addressing historic inequities
between Council districts, specifically related to the quality of life in various
communities, and disparity on City infrastructure and service delivery?
This is an extremely important and difficult question to answer thoughtfully.
One experience that shaped my perspective came from my time working for the U.S.
Ski and Snowboard Association. While the organization supported multiple sports, not
all programs received the same level of funding, visibility, or resources. Some programs
were well -established and highly successful, while others fought for limited investment
and opportunities to grow.
Part of my role was helping donors understand the importance of investing in the
broader long-term success of the organization, not just the programs already receiving
the most attention and resources. Through targeted fundraising and strategic
investment, we were able to help less -supported programs achieve meaningful success
on the world stage without undermining the foundation of our success.
While city government is obviously much more important and complex, I think the
broader lesion still applies. We all want our residents to achieve gold. The Council's
role is to understand where investments can make meaningful impacts while also
maintaining the services, infrastructure, and quality of life that residents already depend
on throughout the city.
For me,' addressing inequities starts with listening and building a deeper understanding
of the unique needs of each district. I would spend time with Council Members and
residents throughout the city by walking neighborhoods, visiting local businesses,
spending time in parks and public spaces, and understanding firsthand how residents
experience their communities day to day.
Throughout my career, I've learned that effective leadership requires listening broadly
and understanding that the loudest voices are not always representative of an entire
neighborhood. It also requires thoughtful budgeting, operational planning, and long-term
investment strategies that help improve outcomes over time.
At the end of the day, my goal would be to approach these conversations and decisions
collaboratively, intentionally, and with an open mind while ensuring every resident feels
connected to the opportunities, services, and quality of life Salt Lake City can provide,
regardless of their district.

Letter of Interest - District Four Open Council Seat
Scott Lyttle
District Four resident for 14yrs
Dear Members of the Salt Lake City Council,
I am writing to express my interest in serving as the District 4 representative on the Salt
Lake City Council. I recognize that District 4 residents are looking for engaged,
accessible, and community -focused leadership that can thoughtfully navigate the
opportunities and challenges facing a rapidly evolving district.
Over the past several weeks, I have spent considerable time meeting with current
Council Members, business leaders, community organizations, neighborhood
stakeholders, and residents to better understand both the responsibilities of the role and
the challenges and opportunities currently facing District 4 and Salt Lake City as a
whole. Those conversations have reinforced my belief that Salt Lake City is entering a
pivotal period, and the decisions made over the next several years will have a lasting
impact on the future of our neighborhoods, downtown, businesses, and residents.
I believe the Council benefits from diverse professional perspectives, and my
background in hospitality, nonprofit leadership, and small business ownership would
add a valuable operational and community -focused viewpoint to the conversation.
Throughout my career, I have worked in leadership roles focused on
relationship -building, fundraising, strategic planning, organizational growth, and
community engagement. My professional experience has included leadership positions
with organizations such as Tracy Aviary, Bike Utah, the National Ability Center, and
several nonprofit and community -based organizations focused on development and
public engagement. Those experiences taught me how to navigate competing priorities,
build consensus, communicate transparently, manage budgets, and make thoughtful
decisions while remaining accountable to the communities and organizations I serve.
My wife and I currently own Tea Zaanti in Sugar House, where I experience firsthand
both the opportunities and challenges of operating a small business in Salt Lake City.
As a business owner and employer, I regularly make decisions that require balancing
competing needs, long-term planning, financial realities, and community expectations. I
currently serve on the City's Business Advisory Board, where I served as Chair in 2025,
as well as the Economic Development Loan Fund Committee, and I am currently
serving as Co -Chair of the Sugar House Chamber of Commerce. From 2013-2016, 1
served as chair of SLC Bicycle Advisory Committee, which gave me additional
experience working collaboratively with City departments and community stakeholders
on transportation and connectivity issues.
One of the issues I care most deeply about is ensuring Salt Lake City remains a place
where younger residents can realistically build a future. As an employer, I regularly see
younger workers struggle to picture long-term stability or attainable homeownership
within the city. I believe Salt Lake must continue creating opportunities for attainable
housing, vibrant neighborhoods, and strong local business districts that help residents
remain connected and invested in their communities long term.
I also care deeply about creating active, connected neighborhoods throughout the city.
believe successful urban neighborhoods require more than just development projects.
They require walkability, transportation options, active public spaces,
neighborhood -serving businesses, and planning that creates energy, safety, and
community connection. District 4 sits at the center of many of the city's most important
conversations surrounding growth, redevelopment, transportation, and downtown
vitality, and I believe practical and collaborative leadership will be critical moving
forward.
As I researched to prepare this application, I approached every conversation with
humility and curiosity while also recognizing the seriousness of the role. I do not pretend
to have every answer, but I do believe my experience has prepared me to thoughtfully
listen, collaborate, make difficult decisions, and help guide District 4 through an
important period for Salt Lake City.
To accomplish this, I believe effective leadership requires bringing people together.
District 4 works best when residents, small businesses, community organizations, major
employers, developers, and city leaders all have a seat at the table. My goal would be
to help foster open communication, collaborative decision -making, and long-term
planning that benefits both District 4 and Salt Lake City as a whole.
I understand the responsibility that comes with representing District 4 during such an
important period for Salt Lake City, and I am prepared to put in the work necessary to
serve thoughtfully and effectively.
Thank you for your time and consideration. I would be honored to serve District 4 and
continue contributing to the future of Salt Lake City.
Sincerely,
c C I

Sent:May 29, 2026 9:51 PM (UTC+00:00)
You don't often get email from Learn why this is important
Hi,
I am writing this letter to enthusiastically endorse Scott Lyttle for City Council. As the owner of Leavity
Bread & Coffee, I have had the privilege of knowing Scott for the past five years, both as a member of our
community and as a trusted individual. Over this time, he has proven himself to be someone of exceptional
character and unwavering integrity.
When I think of Scott, a few core qualities immediately come to mind: he is profoundly kind,
compassionate, and honest. In a political landscape that can often feel disconnected from everyday citizens,
Scott stands out as a genuine human being who listens first and acts with empathy. He cares deeply about the
well-being of his neighbors, and his decisions are always guided by a strong moral compass.
Running a local business gives you a unique vantage point on who people really are when the cameras aren't
rolling. Scott is someone who shows up. He is incredibly respectable and dependable—the kind of person
who keeps his word, follows through on his commitments, and doesn't back down from hard work.
I have absolutely no doubt that Scott will bring these exact values to the City Council. He is not running for
status or politics; he is running because he truly cares about our community. He is a dedicated advocate who
will always put the needs of his constituents first and work tirelessly to do the very best for the people he
represents.
It is an honor to give Scott Lyttle my full endorsement.
Sincerely,
Todd Bradley

To Whom it may concern,
I would like to offer my support for Scott Lyttle, and his interest in becoming the Counsel member for District
4.
We are patrons of his business, Tea Zaanti, and have gotten to know him over the years. It's obvious his
business and influence have been a remarkable staple in the Sugarhouse area. He has shown he can handle
hardships as evidenced by enduring the Covid shutdown, which happened almost immediately after the
business opened. He was able to shift the business model to "pick up teas", in a safe and distanced fashion.
Tea Zaanti experienced terrible trolling and the presence of people with guns around the business, when
they held family friendly drag shows.
There has been vandalism, theft of property, and unforgiving amounts of road construction. Through it all
Scott keeps on smiling and exemplifying resilience. It's apparent his employees have respect for him as well.
It's obviously a happy work place with laughter and good conversation.
I believe he would make a difference in supporting progressive city ideas.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,

Re: Letter of Recommendation in Support of Scott Lyttle to Represent District 4
Dear Members of Salt Lake City Council,
I happily offer this letter of recommendation in support of Scott Lyttle’s representation of
District 4. Scott is an extremely generous donor, collaborator, connector, and friend, and he
will be an extraordinary addition to the Salt Lake City Council.
I met Scott as an employee of Salt Lake Film Society at its venue Broadway Centre
Cinemas 111 E 300 S, Salt Lake City, UT 84111. Scott has been a longtime, frequent patron
who not only attends the movies; he also donates. Scott asked if his business could
provide “tea and jam and bread” for the Sound of Music sing along annual event, and Tea
Zaanti has been a sponsor since 2018. Scott is an exceedingly rare supporter of nonprofits
and the arts in that he gives his money, products, time, and TALENT. Recently in May, he
provided refreshments for Mayor Wilson’s meeting of stakeholders at Salt Lake Film
Society’s historic Tower Theatre which is undergoing renovations. In June, he will provide
charcuterie at a monthly donor event, and in July, he will provide elevated savory and sweet
snacks for an annual fundraiser.
Along with sharing valuable resources, Scott always lends passionate and compassionate
advocacy as a neighbor resident and business owner, and he is very generous at
connecting people and organizations in District 4 and beyond. I frequently find Scott at a
variety of causes, events, and arts organizations. Scott connected me with other
businesses which are now also sponsors, including Beehive Distilling. I became
acquainted with the U of U Black Student Union during COVID when Scott organized
fundraising efforts in the aftermath of the George Floyd murder, and the connections I
made then developed outreach for Black films, filmmakers, and actors, including Sinners
in 2025, Unstoppable Disability Film Festival You Look Fine with filmmaker Jay Snow, and I
Love Boosters in 2026. In Scott’s Letter of Intent, he outlines how deeply he cares about the
issue of young people living in Salt Lake City. In exchange for all his support for Salt Lake
Film Society, the only request he has made in return is discounts for his employees. We are
honored and pleased that Scott advocates for our – and others’ - art for people of all ages
and backgrounds who are connected to him both professionally and personally.
Whether at Tea Zaanti or at an important event, I love engaging with Scott’s multi-faceted
employees, family members, connections, and friends. Scott’s friendship has cultivated
my appreciation for local businesses, including women-owned vendors like Vine Lore
curated wines, Fishwife Premium Tinned Fish, Ballerina Farm Cheese, and local
chocolatiers. I have evolved into an avid tea lover, and Broadway Centre Cinemas now sells
more tea than coffee, thanks to our friend and vendor - Scott. I moved to Utah to get
married more than 20 years ago, and when I bring out-of-town family and friends to Tea
Zaanti, they remark that it “doesn’t feel like Utah,” but Scott’s family, friends, businesses,
and connections are the BEST of Salt Lake City, Utah, and beyond. He brings Japanese
matcha and Slovenian wines to SLC while also introducing us to our local businesses and
worthy neighbor causes. Because of friends like Scott, I truly am proud to be a Utahn.
I look forward to the incredible service my friend, donor, collaborator, and connector Scott
Lyttle will continue to generously and passionately share with my neighbors in District 4, as
well as the citizens of Salt Lake City, Utah, and beyond!
I sincerely thank you for your time and your service.

support for Salt Lake Film Society, the only request he has made in return is discounts for his
employees. We are honored and pleased that Scott advocates for our – and others’ - art for people
of all ages and backgrounds who are connected to him both professionally and personally.
Whether at Tea Zaanti or at an important event, I love engaging with Scott’s multi-faceted
employees, family members, connections, and friends. Scott’s friendship has cultivated my
appreciation for local businesses, including women-owned vendors like Vine Lore curated wines,
Fishwife Premium Tinned Fish, Ballerina Farm Cheese, and local chocolatiers. I have evolved into
an avid tea lover, and Broadway Centre Cinemas now sells more tea than coffee, thanks to our
friend and vendor - Scott. I moved to Utah to get married more than 20 years ago, and when I bring
out-of-town family and friends to Tea Zaanti, they remark that it “doesn’t feel like Utah,” but Scott’s
family, friends, businesses, and connections are the BEST of Salt Lake City, Utah, and beyond. He
brings Japanese matcha and Slovenian wines to SLC while also introducing us to our local
businesses and worthy neighbor causes. Because of friends like Scott, I truly am proud to be a
Utahn.
I look forward to the incredible service my friend, donor, collaborator, and connector Scott Lyttle will
continue to generously and passionately share with my neighbors in District 4, as well as the
citizens of Salt Lake City, Utah, and beyond!
I sincerely thank you for your time and your service.

I’m writing to recommend Scott Lyttle for district 4 council member seat. He has been an amazing
community member for Sugarhouse and has been an outstanding advocate for both businesses in our area and
for the people who live here. His ability to create spaces for connecting safety is something that would be
very important for a council member. Please consider his willingness to work with council a very important
part of your team!

You don't often get email from Learn why this is important
To Whom It May Concern - I'm writing this message to share my support for Scott Lyttle as a City Council
representative for District 4. I have known Scott for almost 20 years dating back to when he began
working with me at Tracy Aviary. Scott impressed me then and continues to impress me with his hard work,
dedication to Salt Lake, and passion for community.
Scott is a critical thinker who cares about community. In my experience, he is measured and makes decisions
based on information gleaned from research, conversation and context. I have worked with others who are
community-minded but make quick decisions that tend not to stand over time. Scott is calculated, his
decisions stand the test of time. Tea Zaanti serves as a good example of this.
Scott's experience spans being a homeowner, a bike commuter, a pet owner, and a business owner. As our city
grows, all of these perspectives are important. Especially noteworthy is his experience as a business owner on
1100 East near 2100 South, Scott has first hand experience of the impacts of road construction as well as the
benefits from operating in a walkable/bikeable neighborhood. He has experienced what taking a stand and
having protesters line the sidewalk is like. He also knows how to make space for community.
I think Scott would be a terrific City Council representative. Thank you for considering this letter.
Sincerely,
Tim Brown

RESPONSES TO APPLICATION QUESTIONS
9. lUhat stands out toyou as Me top 3 successes or challenges facing District 4 that makeyou interested in serving on
the City Council?
Continuing to foster downtown as a place where Salt Lakers want to live, work, and play
through investments in green space, cultural venues, safety, social services, and expanded
housing.
Expanding opportunities for home ownership through increasing the overall and affordable
housing stock, partnering with innovative nonprofits, and subsidizing first-time home
ownership where feasible.
Healing the District from the recent scandals culminating in this city council vacancy.
2. That are the issues facing the City as a whole that makeyou interested in serving on the City Council?
Salt Lake's rapid growth, uncontrolled, could bring overburdened services and infrastructure as well
as traffic and pollution. That same growth, if stifled, could bring soaring housing prices,
displacement, and homelessness. But if that growth is thoughtfully stewarded, it could bring us a
vibrant, diverse, connected city with growing public revenues that can make every neighborhood
desirable and affordable, support quality services for every resident, and ensure that no resident is
left behind. I want to serve on City Council to help build that city.
3. Vith regard to the development and density occurring in Downtown, what doyou think are the top 3 priorities or
challenges, and why?
When I walk by Silo Park or similar developments, I'm filled with excitement for the new housing,
restaurants, and other amenities they'll bring. I also worry we may build a socioeconomically divided
downtown disconnected from community. Building a vibrant, connected, affordable downtown will
require (1) expanding downtown housing options beyond luxury rentals, (2) working with UDOT to
cultivate green, walkable streets with enhanced public and active transit, and (3) ensuring that
commercial investments integrate into and directly benefit the downtown community and Salt
Lakers broadly.
4. What doyou perceive is the role of the Council in addressing the historic inequities between Council districts,
specifzcally related to the quako of life in various communities, and disparity in City infrastaidure and service
delivery.
I believe a city succeeds if people want to live there, can afford to live there, and no neighborhood
or person is left behind. I believe District 4 can play a critical role in helping Salt Lake succeed, by
1) expanding housing options in its own backyard so anyone who wants to live in my district can
afford it; (2) harnessing its economic and cultural resources to increase public revenues to finance
expanded services, and (3) proudly supporting using the bulk of that increase to rectify historical
inequities by funding infrastructure, amenities, and services in Salt Lake's west side neighborhoods.

Members of the Salt Lake City Council,
In the following documents, please find my application to complete the remaining term for the
recently vacated city council seat in District 4. These materials detail my priorities (in the answers to
the application questions), qualifications, and a brief biography.
I look forward to hearing about the next steps for this process. Please let me know if any additional
information would be beneficial, including references who could vouch for my experience and
integrity. I can be reached at the phone number or email address included on the completed
application form.
Finally, reiterating a message I already shared with Council Chair Puy, I want to thank all of you for
your leadership during this difficult time. I can't imagine the tumult of these past weeks for the
Council. I hope Councilwoman Petro and the Council more broadly can heal.
For what it's worth, I believe you the Council has risen to the heartbreaking situation. I have great
confidence that you all will do well by District 4 as you fill its vacant seat —whether or not you
select me to fill it:
Sincerely,
Tom Christiansen
CANDIDATE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I have a track record of civic engagement, including as board chair for Wasatch Advocates
for Livable Communities and on Salt Lake County's Citizen Advisory Committee.
Professionally, I support public behavioral health and education systems to improve service
quality and achieve financial sustainability.
I am a strong advocate for a thriving, vibrant, inclusive community, citywide and in every
neighborhood. I strive for a city that everyone can afford to live in, where every
neighborhood is desirable, and where no one is left behind. My advocacy for
abundant/affordable housing and beautiful cityscapes with WALC and my work with the
Citizens Advisory Committee to fund housing and social services for individuals
experiencing homelessness are evidence of this.
If appointed, I do not expect to seek reelection, as my partner will likely complete her
medical residency outside the state, starting in the summer of 2027 (if selected, I would
finish the council term and then move to join her). I believe that my commitment to serving
only the remainder of the current term will help heal the District by giving it the opportunity
to select a new permanent Councilmember without the distortion of an appointed
incumbent candidate.
My personal history reflects the District and its members' own evolving identity. I inherited
the LDS Church and the city's pioneer heritage. In adulthood, I migrated to communities
that better reflect my values and accept my whole self.
Note: I am mostly unknown in the political or advocacy community. I am submitting this
application to ensure there's at least one candidate who stands for housing abundance and
inclusive growth. If another candidate shares these values and would be more effective in
enacting them, then I encourage the Council to select him or her.
Personal biograpby
Six generations ago, my ancestors came to the Salt Lake Valley by handcart and wagon.
Born in Colorado, my family returned to Utah when I was 15. I attended Olympus High
School while living in unincorporated Salt Lake County (now Millcreek). After high school,
I lived outside the state for 12 years, including in DC for college, Australia for an LDS
mission, England for graduate school, and California for work. I returned to Utah in late
2021 to launch a boutique consulting firm, residing initially in Millcreek and then moving to
my current address in Salt Lake City District 4 in 2025.
I was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints until 2017. I left the
Church because I got to the wedding altar only to realize I couldn't commit to the woman in
front of me before experiencing my bisexuality, an identity I had denied.
I currently live with my partner, Eva, a rising fourth year medical student at the University
of Utah.

To the members of the Salt Lake City Council,
write to express my support for Tom Merrill to fill the City Council's vacancy in District
Four. Tom and I worked together for nearly a decade at Leavitt Partners, a national
healthcare policy consulting firm founded by former Utah Governor Michael Leavitt,
headquartered here in Salt Lake City.
As a colleague, Tom demonstrated professionalism, reliability, intellectual rigor, and a
strong work ethic. Furthermore, his research focus on health system reform places him in a
strong position to support the Council's efforts to strengthen the City's homeless response
system.
In my position at HMHI, I am looking for strong partners at the state, county, and city level
to help build the system we know our community needs in this moment. Tom's experience
as an advisor at the Department of Health & Human Services, his service as Chair of the
Downtown Community Council, and his understanding of both the City and County's role
in behavioral health, will be an incredible asset to the Council and the multi -stakeholder
nature of this endeavor.

To the esteemed members of the Salt Lake City Council,
First, I wish to thank you for your dedicated service to this city, which we all love. Our SLC constituents
are incredibly well served by each of you. In challenging political times like these, I know how critical
your hard work and devotion is. To that end, I write today in support of Tom Merrill to fill the Salt Lake
City District 4 council seat. This council district includes constituents whom I also have the privilege to
serve in the Utah House. Given the challenging situation and the upheaval that precipitated the vacancy, it
is my sincere hope that the community in District 4 will find themselves represented by someone who can
bring a sense of stability and healing. I believe Tom is the person to do that.
While I am certain all candidates under consideration are highly qualified, exceptional individuals, I
believe Tom stands out as the best candidate because of his years of demonstrated engagement and
advocacy for District 4. Tom walks the walk when it comes to fighting for our city and has consistently
done so without expectation of adulation or recognition — he has always simply been there to do the work
and build community.
As you know, one of the greatest political challenges in Utah comes with the complex dynamics between
Salt Lake City and the state legislature. Now more than ever, the people of Salt Lake City depend on a
deeply skilled bench who can help me and other House members from Salt Lake build relationships with
majority leadership, negotiate skillfully, and establish long-standing expectations of mutual trust. For this
reason in particular, I believe that Tom Merrill is the ideal candidate to fill this seat for downtown Salt
Lake City.
Thank you very much for your consideration, and once again, please accept my gratitude for your service.

Re: Consideration for Salt Lake City Council Appointment — Tom Merrill
To Whom It May Concern:

I am writing in strong support of Tom Merrill for appointment to the open Salt Lake City Council
position for 2026.
The Salt Lake Area Association has worked closely with Tom over the past several years on
initiatives focused on revitalizing downtown Salt Lake City. As both a resident and community
advocate, Tom understands the importance of creating community -based events and
experiences that support local restaurants, bars, and small businesses while helping maintain a
vibrant downtown environment.
What has always stood out most is that Tom stepped forward on his own initiative. Since the
business shutdowns in 2020, he has volunteered his time and energy to create events and
encourage residents to reconnect with the downtown community. It was genuinely inspiring to
see one individual reach out to our organization simply because he wanted to make a positive
difference for the city he cares about.
In addition to his dedication, Tom brings strong community relationships, a thoughtful
understanding of what contributes to a thriving city, and the ability to work collaboratively with
individuals from differing perspectives. He approaches challenges with professionalism,
cooperation, and a sincere desire to create positive outcomes for Salt Lake City residents and
businesses alike.
Our organization believes Tom would be a valuable addition to the Salt Lake City Council. He has
consistently demonstrated a commitment to the greater good, and he has our full support and
recommendation for this appointment.
Sincerely,
Michele T. Corigliano
Executive Director

Subject: (EXTERNAL) Support for Tom Merrill for CD4
Dear SLC Council and Dan,
As a resident of District 6, I support the candidacy of Tom Merrill for the vacant CD4 seat.
I've met Tom several times, and I can really see his leadership and capacity. He's been
doing great community work downtown, and as downtown grows, the area needs local
representation, too. He's a father of two teenagers and knows what it takes to get families
to stay (or return to) SLC. That's a goal of the mayor and of the council at large, and I'm
confident Tom would do great in that regard.
He'd also do great at representing downtown at a time of large transformative projects led
by the state that seem more aimed at serving the broader Utah community than downtown
residents themselves. Those residents need a voice, and Tom would be excellent in that
regard.
All the best,
Alessandro Rigolon
