CITY COUNCIL OF SALT LAKE CITY 451 SOUTH STATE STREET, ROOM 304 P.O. BOX 145476, SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH 84114-5476 SLCCOUNCIL.COM TEL 801-535-7600 FAX 801-535-7651 COUNCIL STAFF REPORT CITY COUNCIL of SALT LAKE CITY TO:City Council Members FROM: Sylvia Richards, Budget & Policy Analyst DATE: March 10,2026 RE: SMALL PUBLIC ART PROGRAM IN EACH COUNCIL DISTRICT ISSUE AT-A-GLANCE Goal of the briefing: The Administration is requesting direction from the Council regarding the three options provided in the transmittal. Council Members met with the Administration and Council staff in small groups last year to discuss the option of adding public art projects to each council district, as detailed in the Legislative Intent from Budget Amendment Number Five FY25-26. Budget Amendment Number Five FY25-26 Legislative Intent – It is the intent of the Council to allocate $14,000 ($2,000 per district) from fund balance to the Community and Neighborhoods budget for FY 26. The purpose of these funds would be to request the Arts Council create a public arts program for small and/or fast district-based placemaking projects that: 1. Pursue and facilitate public-private partnerships, 2. Feature an equitable and transparent process, and 3. Include the input of the respective Council Member. Further, it is the intent of the Council that Administrative staff report on the progress for this program by December 2025. In response, the Administration provided a transmittal identifying three options for Council consideration. Funding of $2,000 was added to the CAN budget for each district towards an art project. The Administration is requesting direction from the Council on which program to move forward. If feasible, the Administration prefers that the Council adopt a single option for all seven districts. Option 1 — Artist Residency in SLC Public Library Schedule: Page | 2 Description: Collaborate with one Salt Lake City Public Library branch library in each district to create temporary exterior sidewalk or window vinyl interventions, or interior panels designed by an artist that create a welcoming and artful atmosphere that reflects community values or characteristics. How this meets Council intent: Encourages strong public-private partnership with libraries. Potential involvement of community members in art making and/or development process. Introduces art directly to residents, students, and families. Flexible and adaptable to district context and artist approach. Considerations: Each site needs staff engagement and assistance with site identification. Library staff manage basic maintenance/removal; Arts Council provides initial artist stipend and materials. Budget: $1000-1,500 artist stipend $500-1000 materials / installation Option 2 — Temporary Intersection or Sidewalk Art (One 4-Way Intersection Per District) Description: Identify one prominent intersection per district for a 6-month temporary artwork, designed with one local artist and community stakeholders. Implemented in coordination with SLC Transportation & Streets with input from local residents/businesses. Sites: One 4-way intersection per district or prominent sidewalks How this meets Council intent: High visibility, bold placemaking Cross-department collaboration strengthens internal processes. One artist facilitates staff administration Potential for community involvement through design workshops or paint days. Considerations: For a 4-way intersection: o Streets and Transportation coordination required; project is temporary to avoid long-term maintenance liability. o Transportation review required: safety, traffic flow, ADA compliance. o Temporary closure or partial lane control may be needed for installation, coordinate timing with Transportation. For Sidewalk: o Potentially easier implementation. o May utilize vinyl sidewalk clings instead of paint for feasibility and speed Budget: $2,000 per district, to be given directly to artist (artist stipend, design, materials, installation) Option 3 — SLC Stories: Community Art Banners/Panels Description: Commission one or two artists (e.g., photographer, poet, painter, etc.) to collaborate in creating artistic panels featuring portraits, community narratives, poetry, or local history. Panels/Banners are displayed at community centers, fences, libraries, small business corridors, or parks. Project could be administered directly by City and/or through RCOs. Page | 3 How this meets Council intent: Invites residents to participate in storytelling; easy, flexible, and low-barrier Can be co-produced with schools, senior centers, cultural organizations, or businesses Could be administered directly through an RCO, with SLC Staff input High visibility at modest cost Panel/Banner locations require permission from property owners or City departments. Determine whether banners are temporary (3–6 months) or semi-permanent. Storage and maintenance: Who removes or stores banners after display period? ~$1,000 printing/hardware ~$1,000 artist stipend POLICY QUESTIONS Given the small amount of funding, if there are changes or additions to the options, how will additional costs be funded?

BOX 145476, SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH 84114-5476 SLCCOUNCIL.COM TEL 801-535-7600 FAX 801-535-7651 COUNCIL STAFF REPORT CITY COUNCIL of SALT LAKE CITY TO:City Council Members FROM:Brian Fullmer Policy Analyst DATE:March 10, 2026 RE: Zoning Map Amendment at Approximately 256 East 300 South PLNPCM2024-00423 ISSUE AT A GLANCE The Council will be briefed about a proposal to amend the zoning map for the parcel at 256 East 300 South in City Council District Four from its current MU-8 (Mixed-Use 8) zoning to D-1 (Central Business District). It is worth noting that the property was zoned R-MU (Residential Mixed-Use) at the time the application was submitted. That zoning was changed to MU-8 as part of the mixed-use zoning consolidation adopted by the Council in 2025. The property is being used as a paid parking lot for area offices, retail establishments, and restaurants. The applicant’s stated objective is to construct an approximately 180-foot-tall hotel on the property. The Planning Commission reviewed the proposal at its November 13, 2024 meeting and held a public hearing at which five people spoke in opposition to the proposed zoning map amendment, and the property owner discussed a desire to develop his property. Planning staff recommended, and the Commission voted 5-2 to forward a negative recommendation to the City Council. Commissioners who were opposed to the rezone had concerns with the potential height allowed in the D-1 zone. Commissioners supporting the rezone suggested a development agreement limiting building height to the applicant’s proposed 180 feet. Although the current hotel design is 180 feet tall, the applicant proposes a maximum future building height of up to 225 feet on the property. This is the height proposed on a nearby zoning text amendment for property at 265 East 100 South near St. Mark’s Cathedral. The applicant believes it is reasonable to request the same height. Goal of the briefing: Review the proposed zoning map amendments, determine if the Council supports moving forward with the proposal. Item Schedule: Page | 2 POLICY QUESTIONS 1. If supportive of the proposed zoning map amendment, the Council may wish to discuss the Planning Commission recommendation to include a development agreement limiting height of a building constructed on the site to 180 feet. 2. The Council may wish to discuss the applicant’s request to allow building heights up to 225 feet on the subject property, if it is appropriate for this location and the impact it may have on adjacent properties. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION The approximately 0.62-acre lot is located mid-block on the south side of 300 South between 200 and 300 East. As shown in the area zoning map below, surrounding zoning is a mixture of MU-8 immediately to the east and west, MU-11 (Mixed-Use 11) to the South, and D-1 fronting 200 East. Area zoning map with the subject property outlined in blue. Buildings on the block are mostly apartments, offices, and commercial uses. The historic Sampson Altadena building is to the east of the subject property, and a building with primarily fitness-related businesses is immediately to the west. Buildings fronting 300 South are generally between three and ten stories and increase in height as they get closer to 200 East where zoning changes to D-1 and buildings are much taller. Both the Downtown and Central Community Master Plans indicate 200 East is where downtown transitions to urban neighborhood to the east. Page | 3 Current MU-8 zoning does not allow hotels or motels, and building height is limited to 45-90 feet depending on uses and building types (design review would be required for buildings taller than 75 feet). The requested D-1 zoning allows hotels and motels, and does not have a maximum building height, though there is a 100-foot minimum building height. KEY CONSIDERATIONS Consideration 1 – General Plan Compatibility Plan Salt Lake, the Central Community Neighborhood Plan, the East Downtown Neighborhood Plan, the Downtown Plan, and Housing SLC. These are summarized below. A detailed discussion is found in Attachment E (pages 41-44) of the Planning Commission staff report. Plan Salt Lake support the rezone proposal, other initiatives in the plan, including urban design and neighborhood character, do not. Housing Salt Lake is focused on addressing housing-related issues in the city. Building a hotel on the site would not meet the goals of that plan, though if housing were developed on the site, it would. Consideration 2 – Neighborhood Concerns Zoning Comparison Page | 4 Parameter MU-8 (Existing)D-1 (Proposed) Building Height Residential Buildings: 45-90 feet depending on use and building type Minimum: 100 feet No Maximum Front and Corner Side Yard Rowhouses: Minimum 10 feet, maximum 20 feet.

BOX 145486, SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH 84114-5486 TEL 801.535.6230 FAX 801.535.6005 CITY COUNCIL TRANSMITTAL BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: Salt Lake City has received a request from Emily Nelson of Fourier Architects, representing the property owner, to rezone the property at 356 East 300 South (Parcel ID 16061810040000) from the R-MU Residential/Mixed Use District to the D-1 Central Business District. The intent of the requested rezone is to enable the development of a hotel with a height of approximately 185 feet. The R-MU district does not permit hotels and motels and limits building height to 75 feet for residential buildings and 45 feet for any other type of building. The proposed D-1 district permits hotels and does not have a maximum building height, allowing the proposed height for the hotel. The district is intended for the City’s most urban and intense neighborhoods, allowing for a wide variety of uses, including very high-density housing, with a 24-hour activity environment. The property sits approximately mid-block on the South side of 300 South between 200 and 300 East. It is currently occupied by a commercial parking lot that ostensibly serves surrounding offices, restaurants, and retail. Buildings within the vicinity vary in age but generally contain a mix of apartments and commercial uses. The historic three-story Altadena and Sampson Apartments are to the east, and an office building with mostly fitness-related occupants is to the west. Buildings along 300 South tend to stay within three to ten stories, increasing in height toward 200 East until 200 East, where, due to the shift in zoning from R-MU to D-1, buildings are much taller and more intense—including the recently-completed Worthington Apartment building at the northeast corner of 200 East and 300 South. Both the downtown Plan and the Central Community Master Plan have established 200 East as the point where Downtown transitions to the urban neighborhood where the subject property is located. If the Salt Lake City Council adopts this rezone request, the applicant would then need to submit the necessary development applications, and the project would need to comply with all relevant regulations within the Salt Lake City Zoning Ordinance. Review by the Planning Commission would be required if the applicant requests modifications to zoning regulations through the Planned Development or Design Review processes. Since this request is not for development of the site, Planning staff has not reviewed the submitted plans for compliance with applicable zoning requirements. That preliminary plan and all other materials submitted by the applicant can be found in Planning staff’s report to the Planning Commission. PUBLIC PROCESS: • Early Notification: Notification of the proposal was sent to all owners and occupants of properties located within 300 feet of the subject property on April 23, 2024. • Central City Community Council: The Central City Community Council was notified of the proposal on April 23, 2024. The community council provided a response to the proposal that is included with Attachment G of Planning staff’s report to the Planning Commission. • City Open House: A virtual open house for the proposal has been hosted on the City’s website since April 29, 2024. • Planning Commission Meeting: The Planning Commission held a public hearing for the proposed rezoning on November 13, 2024. Following Planning staff’s recommendation, the commission voted to recommend that the City Council deny the request with a vote of 4-2.

Box 145464 349 South 200 East, Suite 500 Salt Lake City, UT 84114-5464 www.slcgov.com TEL 801-535-7900 CITY COUNCIL TRANSMITTAL BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: This report includes information and the following recommendations relating to employee compensation, as required by city ordinance (City Code, Title 2, Chapter 2.35 - Citizen’s Compensation Advisory Committee). In an effort to advise city leaders, this year’s report highlights the following specific topics reviewed by the committee during the past year, including: - Compensation review and outlook, including factors driving salary budgets in 2026 - Local area market pay comparison - Appendicies including supplemental and supporting information Specific recommendations in this report, include: 1. Considering the impact of current market conditions, including labor shortages, increased cost of labor and inflation on employer salary budgets in 2026, the Committee recommends leaders increase the City’s overall salary budget by no less than 3.5%. In conjunction with the City’s plans to grant actual general and/or merit increases, the Committee recommends an overall increase to the structure of the city’s salary ranges of no less than 2.5%. 2. The Committee continues to express its support for the City’s compensation strategy to position Salt Lake City as an area pay leader for employees. The Committee has long recognized that Salt Lake City employees deal with a volume of diverse situations and problems not seen by most other municipal entities in the state. Therefore, as the capital city it is in the City’s best interest to attract the most capable employees to all positions and to encourage them to stay. The Committee believes that compensation should be an important factor in this equation and that this policy will prove beneficial to the City’s citizens in the future. 3. Furthermore, as funds permit, the committee recommends the mayor and city council appropriate financial resources necessary to grant market salary adjustments for employees in benchmark jobs identified in this report as lagging market. - Priority should be given to those lagging significantly; and, - Second priority should be given to those lagging slightly behind market. This page has intentionally been left blank SALT LAKE CITY CITIZENS’ COMPENSATION ADVISORY COMMITTEE 2026 Annual Report Purpose & Introduction The Citizens’ Compensation Advisory Committee (CCAC) was formed for “…the purpose of evaluating the total compensation levels of the city's elected officials, executives and employees and making recommendations to the human resources department, mayor and the city council…” (City Code Title 2, Chapter 2.35.050). Each year the Committee is responsible for preparing and submitting a written report to the mayor and city council containing, among other things, recommendations on the “appropriate competitive position for the city relative to the compensation practices of comparable employers,” “wages and benefits of the city’s elected officials, executives and employees” and “general recommendations regarding the mix of compensation for the city’s employees, e.g., base salary, benefits, incentives ” (City Code Title 2, Chapter 2.35.050.A.6) To provide city officials with the most valuable and relevant information, this report includes the Committee’s recommendations based on review of salary budget forecasts and local area market wage analysis for benchmark jobs differentiated by each one of the city’s three primary employee groups including: non-represented employees, AFSCME, and public safety (i.e. firefighters and police officers). Supplemental information intended to provide greater insight into factors driving compensation and today’s labor market are included in the appendix of this report. We sincerely hope you find this report and the information contained herein to be pragmatic, helpful, and useful for decision making. Respectfully, 2026 Citizens Compensation Advisory Committee J. Clair Baldwin, Chair Leandro Tane, Vice Chair Brandon Dew Tia Larsen Casey Lund Mike Terry David Warnock 1 Section One: 2026 Compensation Review & Outlook The Citizens’ Compensation Advisory Committee (CCAC) is pleased to present its 2026 report to the Mayor and City Council. The sections that follow include Committee updates, as well as summaries of information and data presented to the Committee, which form the basis for our recommendations to city leaders ahead of the coming 2026-27 fiscal year. Outgoing and new members of the Committee. In January 2025, Tia Larsen was nominated and selected as the Committee’s appointee to replace outgoing member Jana Bake through August 31,2026. The Committee also welcomed new city council appointee, David Warnock, whose term began in December 2025 (replacing outgoing member Jeff Worthington) and will extend through December 2, 2029. Committee members Clair Baldwin and Leandro Tane were elected as the Committee’s chair and vice-chair, respectively. Economic Uncertainty is pushing employers to keep pay increases flat. According to Ben Crabb, chief economist with the Utah Department of Workforce Services, “The state labor market is cooling, marked by an uptick in the unemployment rate and 1% year-over-year job growth. While most sectors continue to add jobs, slight increases in layoffs and a steady hiring rate show employers are in a 'low hiring, low firing' mode, retaining available labor.” Both within and beyond Utah, multiple surveys find that organizations are planning to pull back on salary increases for employees as they grapple with uncertainty over economic conditions. According to a survey of 1,551 employers by the Seattle-based compensation firm Payscale, U.S. employers are planning on an average 3.5% total salary budget increases for 2026, which is down just slightly by 0.1% in 2025. This is the same overall percentage increase predicted by consulting firm WTW. In an article published on August 15, 2025, by the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), author Kathryn Mayer states, “Although it’s not a big decrease, those figures still indicate that the shifting economic landscape is affecting employers and making them cautious about spending. That’s a change from the past few years, when a tight labor market, inflation, and effects from the pandemic caused organizations to rely on competitive pay bumps to keep workers happy and engaged.” Salary.com’s Compensation Consulting Team’s report on “Industry Salary Budget Insights” reached a similar set of conclusions—namely that “the compensation landscape for 2025-2026 reveals a story of cautious stability amid unprecedented 2 economic uncertainty.” In the executive summary of this report, the team characterizes the results of their survey (as shown in the table below) in the following way, “Unlike the dramatic salary budget swings witnessed over the past few years, 2025-2026 data show organizations adopting a "conservative and consistent" approach. Merit increase budgets are holding steady at approximately 3.2%, while companies carefully balance employee retention needs against economic uncertainty stemming from political instability, potential policy changes, and market volatility.” WorldatWork’s 2025-26 Salary Budget Survey report provides insight into the projected and actual increases reported by participants based on the type of increase (Figures 1.a & 1.b) and other factors including state, industry, and organization (Figure 2). Figure 1.a – Median Salary Increase Budgets, by Type of Increase for all employees and revenue, industry, and organization sizes (excluding 0% responses) Projected 2026 Actual 2025 Projected 2025 General Increase/COLA 3.0% 3.0% 2.0% Merit Increase 3.0% 3.5% 3.5% Other Increase 1.0% 1.0% 0.5% Total Increase 3.5% 3.5% 4.0% Note: “General Increase/COLA,” “Merit,” and “Other” do not add to the “Total Increase” because not every organization provides all three types of increases. Figure 1.b – Median Salary Increase Budgets, by Type of Increase for Utah employers only including all revenue, industry, and organization sizes (excluding 0% responses) Projected 2026 Actual 2025 Projected 2025 General Increase/COLA 3.0% 3.0% - Merit Increase 3.0% 3.3% - Other Increase 0.7% 0.6% - Total Increase 3.5% 3.5% - Note: “General Increase/COLA,” “Merit,” and “Other” do not add to the “Total Increase” because not every organization provides all three types of increases. 3 When considering the added perspective of factors including state, industry, and organization size, employers in the Salt Lake City labor market are more likely to see overall salary budget increases around 3.5% (Figure 2). Figure 2 – Median Total Salary Increase Budgets, by State, Industry, and Organization Size Projected 2026 Actual 2025 Projected 2025 By State, Utah 3.5% 3.5% 3.7% By Industry, Government* 4.0% 4.0% 4.0% By Organization Size, 2,500 - 9,999 3.5% 3.5% 3.9% *Includes federal, state, local and tribal entities EXCEPT public schools and universities) Finally, when considering the impact on and need for salary structure adjustments, WorldatWork salary budget survey participants are projecting a 2.5% median increase in 2026 to range minimums and maximums for groups of employees (Figure 3). Figure 3 – Median Salary Structure Increases, by Employee Category Projected 2026 Actual 2025 Projected 2025 Non-exempt Hourly 2.5% 2.7% 2.5% Exempt Salaried 2.5% 2.6% 2.5% Officers/Executives 2.5% 2.6% 2.5% All 2.5% 2.7% 2.5% RECOMMENDATION: Considering the impact of current market conditions, including labor shortages, increased cost of labor and inflation on employer salary budgets in 2026, the Committee recommends leaders increase the City’s overall salary budget by no less than 3.5%. In conjunction with the City’s plans to grant actual general and/or merit increases, the Committee recommends an overall increase to the structure of the city’s salary ranges of no less than 2.5%. 4 Section Two: Local Area Market Pay Comparison Effectively attracting and retaining key talent depends on sound pay structure administration, competitive base wage and salary rates, and the City’s ability to adapt to market conditions. The Committee reviewed market pay data obtained primarily from multiple locally based private or public employers with operations along the Wasatch Front. This approach reflects historical recruitment data showing the City primarily draws talent locally and competes with other Wasatch Front employers. Results of the market pay analysis conducted this year were presented by the city’s human resources staff using the compensation management tool offered by Payfactors to aggregate the latest sources of market pay information available. To facilitate the review, the City organized 88 benchmark groups from its 1,074 active jobs (roughly 8% of jobs). The Committee reviewed job pricing information obtained for each of the 88 benchmark job titles highlighted in this report. In total, these benchmarks cover 1,546 employees, which represents 43.5% of the city’s regular, full-time workforce. Because market data is not available to price all jobs, it is important to note that if a job title is not shown as a benchmark title it is instead tied to a benchmark for pricing purposes. For example, Accountant III is designated as the benchmark job for related titles in the same job family, including: - Accountant I - Accountant II - Accountant III (benchmark) - Accountant IV If market pay data indicates a particular benchmark job is significantly below market, then all levels of the job should be reviewed for potential pay adjustments—not just the benchmark job. This way the pay differences between levels of the same or similar jobs are appropriately maintained. The results of this year’s local market pay analysis are displayed in three separate work groups. This is done not only to account for the differences in each group’s unique wage structure and pay practices, but to also gauge the City’s success more effectively at positioning itself as a pay leader. These three work groups include: Non-Represented Employees AFSCME Public Safety (including Firefighters, and Police Officers) The Committee continues to follow the guidelines listed below when determining an individual benchmark job’s compensation position relative to the market: 5 - Significantly lagging when data indicates the benchmark job’s position relative to market is less than or equal to 90%. - Slightly lagging when data indicates the benchmark job’s position relative to market is between 90.1% and 98%. - Competitive when data indicates the benchmark job’s position relative to market is between 98.1% and 109.9%. - Significantly leading when data indicates the benchmark job’s position relative to market is greater than or equal to 110%. GROUP FINDINGS & OVERALL SUMMARIES: Among the Non-Represented Employee work group, a total of 42 benchmark jobs, covering 213 employees, were evaluated (representing 48% of the total jobs surveyed). Market pay rates (calculated as the 50th percentile and aged to 07/01/2026) were compared to the non- represented employee current actual median wages/salaries. The following list includes all related benchmark jobs sorted by those which are most lagging to most leading the market in base salary.

The threshold established on what constitutes a large agency was set at 90 or more full-time sworn employees for either Fire or Police. The agencies that participated in the custom salary survey and met this threshold are included in the comparison results below: 1 Council Formal Meeting, June 13, 2023 – Item 17 2025 2026 Ogden City Ogden City Provo City Orem City Sandy City Park City Fire Dept.

The Committee has long recognized that Salt Lake City employees deal with a volume of diverse situations and problems not seen by most other municipal entities in the state. Therefore, as the capital city it is in the City’s best interest to attract the most capable employees to all positions and to encourage them to stay. The Committee believes that compensation should be an important factor in this equation and that this policy will prove beneficial to the City’s citizens in the future. Furthermore, as funds permit, the Committee recommends the mayor and city council appropriate financial resources necessary to grant market salary adjustments for employees in benchmark jobs identified in this report as lagging market. 1. Priority should be given to those lagging significantly; and, 2. Second priority should be given to those lagging slightly behind Market.

January 2026 SALT LAKE CITY (Jan. 7, 2026) — Utah’s nonfarm payroll employment for November 2025 increased an estimated 1.0% across the past 12 months, with the state’s economy adding a cumulative 18,500 jobs since November 2024. Utah’s current job count stands at 1,788,600. November’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate is estimated at 3.6%, up two-tenths of a percentage point compared to September. Approximately 66,000 Utahns are unemployed. Utah’s October unemployment rate is unavailable due to the 2025 lapse in federal appropriations. The November national unemployment rate is estimated at 4.6%. “The state labor market is cooling, marked by an uptick in the unemployment rate and 1% year-over-year job growth,” said Ben Crabb, chief economist with the Department of Workforce Services. “While most sectors continue to add jobs, slight increases in layoffs and a steady hiring rate show employers are in a 'low hiring, low firing' mode, retaining available labor.” Utah’s November private sector employment recorded a year-over-year expansion of 0.9%, or a 12,700 job increase. Six of the 10 major private-sector industry groups posted net year-over-year job gains. The overall gains are led by education and health services (9,900 jobs), financial activities (2,400 jobs), professional and business services (2,300 jobs) and leisure and hospitality (2,300 jobs). Trade, transportation and utilities (-5,700 jobs), other services (-1,100 jobs), manufacturing (-400 jobs) and natural resources (-200 jobs) experienced year-over-year job losses. Public sector employment grew by 2.1% year-over-year, adding 5,800 jobs, despite federal government employment decreasing by 7% (-2,900 jobs).

U.S. employers are planning, on average, a 3.5% salary budget increase for 2026, down 0.1% from 2025, according to a new survey of 1,551 employers from Seattle-based compensation firm Payscale. That’s the same prediction for next year’s average pay increase percentage given by consulting firm WTW last month - ( https://www.shrm.org/topics-tools/news/benefits-compensation/employer- salary-increase-predictions-2026 ) . Although it’s not a big decrease, those figures still indicate that the shifting economic landscape is affecting employers and making them cautious about spending. That’s a change from the past few years, when a tight labor market, inflation, and effects from the pandemic caused organizations to rely on competitive pay bumps to keep workers happy and engaged. Indeed, the majority of employers (66%) told Payscale that growing concerns about economic conditions are the reason for the slight decline in planned pay increases — a 17% jump from last year’s report. “Pay increases have been tapering year over year as the surge in wage growth and inflation begins to level off,” said Ruth Thomas, chief compensation strategist at Payscale. Salary increase budgets also vary by industry. For instance, the technology industry is seeing a 0.5% decrease in planned pay increases for 2026 compared to 2025, Payscale noted. “Uncertainty surrounding future economic conditions and whether broad changes to immigration and trade policies will be implemented have employers feeling anxious regarding the direction of compensation costs this year and beyond,” said Sydney Ross, economic researcher at SHRM. “In such an uncertain environment, it is likely that many employers are in wait-and-see mode and will take a more 10/1/25, 3:57 PM Economic Uncertainty Pushing Employers to Keep Pay Increases Flat https://www.shrm.org/topics-tools/news/benefits-compensation/economic-uncertainty-causing-flat-pay-increases#:~:text=content and materials.-,Econo…1/3 cautious approach as they devise their pay and compensation strategies - ( https://www.shrm.org/topics-tools/news/benefits- compensation/compensation-trends-to-watch-2025 ) going forward.” Newsletter: Subscribe to Total Rewards - ( https://www.shrm.org/topics-tools/news/hr-newsletters ) Cooling Labor Market Another factor causing employers to decrease salary increase budgets is a cooling labor market, with employers saying they are less concerned with retaining and attracting employees. Only 34% of employers offering higher raises point to labor shortages as a driving factor — a 19% year-over-year decrease, according to Payscale. That also tracks with WTW analysis, which found that just 30% reported difficulty attracting or retaining employees - ( https://www.shrm.org/topics-tools/news/benefits-compensation/the-surprising- reason-behind-retention-and-attraction-woes- ) , a decrease of 11 percentage points since 2023, according to WTW. Workers are largely staying put with their employers as they contend with fears over job security and economic impacts. Employee optimism is near a record low, driven by economic and political concerns, according to an April SHRM pulse survey of 1,067 U.S.-based workers and 2,060 HR professionals. Employers Should Remain Flexible Although recent estimates regarding 2026 salary increase budgets indicate that employers are pulling back on pay increases, experts caution that employers should remain flexible, as so many things are in flux. For instance, inflation is starting to creep back up — the consumer price index for July - ( https://www.shrm.org/topics- tools/news/benefits-compensation/cpi-inflation-real-earnings-july-2025 ) increased 0.2% on a monthly basis and rose 2.7% for the 12 months ending in July — and the majority of workers (88%) believe that salary should reflect the cost of living, according to previous Payscale data - ( https://www.payscale.com/featured-content/pay-confidence-gap? utm_medium=referral&utm_source=globenewswire&utm_campaign=brd_salary-budget- survey_wv_fls&utm_content=data_rc_salary-budget-survey_prr ) . How-To Guide: Establishing Salary Ranges - ( https://www.shrm.org/topics-tools/tools/how-to-guides/how-to-establish-salary- ranges ) Flexibility is also needed as financial anxiety among employees increases. A survey from CNBC - ( https://www.surveymonkey.com/curiosity/cnbc-your-money-2025/?utm_source=cnbc_2025 ) found that 73% of U.S. residents said they are financially stressed. All this “may mean that pay increase plans will need to be revisited,” Thomas said. “HR leaders should be prepared for heightened scrutiny around compensation, particularly as 1 in 3 employees feel their pay does not reflect their performance.” Andrea Medici, labor economist at SHRM, recommended employers closely monitor trends in wage growth and health care costs - ( https://www.shrm.org/topics-tools/news/benefits-compensation/employers-shift-health-care-costs-to-employees ) “to balance competitive compensation packages with long-term cost sustainability.” 10/1/25, 3:57 PM Economic Uncertainty Pushing Employers to Keep Pay Increases Flat https://www.shrm.org/topics-tools/news/benefits-compensation/economic-uncertainty-causing-flat-pay-increases#:~:text=content and materials.-,Econo…2/3 Appendix C Salary.com – National Salary Survey Budget Summary 2025 NATIONAL BUDGET SURVEY | 2025 - 2026 SURVEY METHODOLOGY 738 organizations participated in this year’s survey, with participants varying in size from small businesses to enterprise organizations, and representing 22 diverse industries, including healthcare, manufacturing, financial services, and education.The survey was conducted in April -May 2025.

With most organizations having closed out their annual salary review cycle, the second quarter is the perfect time to begin thinking about the future. Uncertainties about the global economy are prompting organizations to carefully consider how they approach budgeting and workforce strategies. WTW’s 2025 Salary Budget Planning Report — Global (July edition) (https://www.wtwrewardsdataintel.com/s/salary-budget-planning? t=1725489106064) offers a comprehensive look at how organizations worldwide have responded this year and how they’re preparing for what’s to come in 2026. While top-line budgets are generally holding steady, the real shift is happening beneath the surface: Organizations are being more deliberate about how they allocate pay, where they focus investment and what outcomes they expect to drive. Employers are no longer simply reacting to economic signals; they’re reimagining how to best support broader business goals despite uncertainty and using this moment to position themselves for what’s next. Global salary budgets hold steady — with key variations Most countries are forecasting salary increases that are relatively flat compared to the prior year. In the United States, organizations plan to increase salaries by 3.5% in 2026 — nearly identical to 2025 budgets. Canada, France, Germany and the United Kingdom are showing similar trends, with these markets forecasting increases between 3.2% and 3.6% (Table 1). Table 1.

To help organizations make this data actionable, the full Salary Budget Planning Report offers insights into the factors influencing budget decisions and how organizations are addressing their workforce strategy. Why budgets are being adjusted When organizations adjust their salary budgets, the reasons are increasingly grounded in macroeconomic caution and consistent in all regions. While concerns about inflation continue to influence spending for many organizations and remains a top factor in influencing budget change, the percentage of survey respondents citing inflation as a cause of budgetary adjustments has, again, dropped notably in the past year. Even more pervasive are concerns related to cost management, including the rising cost of goods and services, combined with recession fears and weaker financial performance (Table 2). Clearly, even in a competitive labor market, economic pressure and uncertainty are again exerting influence over budget planning. Table 2. Top budget adjustment catalysts, globally (based on respondents to the question) Rank Factor Percent of organizations (n=3,385) 1 Anticipated recession or weaker financial results (actual or forecast)38.9% 2 Concerns related to cost management (e.g., rising cost of supplies)34.4% 3 Inflationary pressures 27.4% Source: WTW 2025 Salary Budget Planning Report — Global (July edition). How organizations are responding to market conditions In a complex labor market marked by global economic challenges, organizations are looking to their total rewards strategies (https://www.wtwco.com/en-us/insights/2025/01/total-rewards-in-2025-finding-the-competitive-edge-and-driving-value) as a tool to engage a productive workforce and align existing people resources to their most critical business objectives. When asked which actions they’ve taken or plan to take in response to market conditions, companies pointed to a range of workforce investments. Notably, the most frequently cited actions already taken reflect a growing emphasis on internal culture, development and belonging — elements that play a key role in retention when compensation budgets are tight (Table 3). Table 3. Top budget adjustment catalysts, globally (based on respondents to the question) Action Taken Action Planned Improving the employee experience 45.0%27.7% Increase/target use of training opportunities 41.4%20.2% Broader emphasis on diversity, equity and inclusion 43.4%16.7% Changes to health and wellness benefits 40.1%14.3% More workplace flexibility 38.3%4.9% Changes to compensation programs (e.g., base, STI or LTI)26.6%18.5% Other 6.1%13.4% Source: WTW 2025 Salary Budget Planning Report — Global (July edition). The fact that compensation changes rank third in future planning — despite being one of the less frequently reported actions taken to date — may signal a shift. Organizations could be recognizing that culture and upskilling can go only so far without reinforcing their value proposition through employee pay. These actions suggest a deliberate rebalancing that is unsurprising given ongoing concerns over financial results and cost management. Many organizations have prioritized initiatives aimed at improving the employee experience, expanding DEI efforts and enhancing wellbeing. These are meaningful investments that will pay dividends in the long term. However, only one-quarter of responding organizations said they have taken deliberate action to adjust compensation programs. In a competitive labor market, overlooking pay can have real consequences. Annual compensation survey data (https://www.wtwco.com/en- us/solutions/products/salary-surveys) remains a critical resource to ensure decisions are grounded in reliable, representative benchmarks. Skipping a cycle or relying too heavily on highly reactive data sources can leave organizations out of step with the market at a time when 7/8/25, 11:32 AM 2025 Salary budget planning: Strategy in details - WTW https://www.wtwco.com/en-us/insights/2025/07/2025-salary-budget-planning-stability-on-the-surface-strategy-in-the-details?utm_source=marketo&utm_medium=email&utm_content=HWC.RDI.GBL.GBL.ES.2025070…2/6 alignment matters most. Responding with intent: Employers invest in multi-pronged approaches In the face of ongoing economic uncertainty and evolving workforce expectations, organizations that view compensation as a critical tool for improving business outcomes are putting in significant effort to ensure their pay strategies are responsive, equitable and effective. Rather than relying on a single tactic, most are taking a multi-pronged approach — balancing broad-based increases with targeted adjustments and comprehensive reviews. Many organizations report having already taken action within the past year by conducting comprehensive compensation reviews and relying on data-driven approaches that are both sustainable and effective (Table 4). Notably, 27% of responding organizations reported a concentration on starting salaries. The July edition of the Salary Budget Planning Report now includes a special focus on starting salaries across multiple job families to help organizations understand what it will take to remain competitive.

The path to a more effective workforce in 2026 starts with the decisions leaders make right now. Here’s how your organization can take a more strategic approach to compensation planning: The organizations that will lead in the years ahead are the ones using this moment to invest with intention. History has shown that bold, well- informed moves made during periods of uncertainty often define the next generation of industry leaders. This is a moment to lead with confidence — not because conditions are easy, but because the tools, data and insights to make the right calls are in place. Author Brittany Innes (https://www.wtwco.com/en-us/insights/all-insights#sort=%40fdate13762%20descending&f:@authors= [Brittany%20Innes]) Director, Rewards Data Intelligence Email (mailto:Brittany.Innes@wtwco.com) Evaluate and recalibrate your pay structures: If your organization made rapid compensation changes in recent years, now is the time to assess their effectiveness. Use data to identify where adjustments are needed and ensure your job architecture supports long-term goals. Align compensation with your evolving skills strategy: According to WTW’s 2025 Skills Survey (https://www.wtwco.com/en- us/insights/2025/05/skills-focused-organizations-see-better-performance-across-multiple-key-metrics-of-success), which collected information about the use of skills across more than 1,200 organizations, those that effectively use skills are more likely to report better outcomes related to employee productivity, retention and financial performance. As roles evolve and talent needs shift, compensation planning should be closely aligned with your organization’s upskilling, reskilling and workforce transformation priorities (https://www.wtwco.com/en-us/insights/2025/05/transforming-talent-how-a-skills-strategy-drives-business-success). Prioritize roles that drive business impact: A strategy isn’t a strategy without trade-offs, and the rules are no different when it comes to a compensation strategy. Identify the areas within your organization where rewards differentiation can make the most impact and where it could prevent regrettable turnover. Cut through the noise with reliable data: In a market full of conflicting signals, avoid being swayed by anecdotal trends. Ground your decisions in robust compensation survey data to maintain consistency, defensibility and alignment with business strategy.

Approval of Letter - Police Department: Public Safety Response Vehicles for Demonstrations, Emergencies, and Natural Disasters $1,700,000 Council Members have been asked to sign a letter (all 7 signatures, if possible) requesting Representative Moore’s support for Police Department funding. The purpose is to support grant funding that would purchase vans for the Police Department to use as part of public safety responses for demonstrations, emergencies, and natural disasters. SLCPD responds to multiple free speech events, large demonstrations, special events, and city events that require large staging or deployment of officers. To facilitate the deployments, especially in areas of limited availability of parking, in groups for quick response or quick reaction, the department is requesting funding for transport vans. These vans would be used for officer deployments, transports to jail, and non-emergency transport of victims or evacuees in the case of emergencies or disasters. The department is also requesting another operations vehicle that will be used in conjunction with a mobile command center to manage on-scene operations. Not armored vehicles - Tier below mobile command center Similar to Class B and Class C RV, Sprinter Vans. Have some safety enhancements such as screens over the glass and brush guards. Used to help shuttle PD officer to and from events. Do the Council Members approve the attached letter?

The City is requesting FY2027 CPF for the purchase of response transport vans and a logistical operations vehicle. The vehicles will be deployed by the Salt Lake City Department of Police to improve public safety response to regional demonstrations, emergencies, mass casualty incidents, natural disasters, and large public gatherings when quick deployment of officers and first responders is critical. The equipment is critical for the deployment of first responders and the transport of evacuees in Salt Lake City in the event of a natural disaster or mass casualty incident and to support mutual aid agreements across the Salt Lake valley. In addition, the equipment will enable rapid response and effective management of upcoming large public and international gatherings, including The Church Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints public open house from April 2027 to October 2027 celebrating the renovated Salt Lake Temple in downtown Salt Lake City and the 2034 Winter Olympic Games. Strengthening public safety and first responder capabilities is key to ensuring an effective response to demonstrations, emergencies, and natural disasters. The Salt Lake City Council supports this project and its benefits to public safety and first responders as well as the city, local communities, regional and state partners, and visitors. If Community Project Funding is secured, whether in full or in part, the Salt Lake City Council is committed to the project moving forward promptly.
