Coffey said the handouts contained a list of new issues incorporated in the plan such as eliminating redundancies, simplification, changing the focus to identify various methods used by the City to accomplish preservation, policies which incorporated historic preservation as well as community character preservation, and more tools to support both historic and conservation preservation. Ms . Coffey said other new issues included requiring all City departments to look at implications that projects might have on historic resources, allowing the Planning Director enough time to comment on projects and ensuring the plan gave more policy direction. She said the State Preservation Office said they did not want the City to mix Local Historic Preservation Plans with National Register Plans so statements were included to ensure they were not mixed. Ms . Coffey said language was removed that could obligate the Council to funding requirements . She said no changes were made to the vision statements and the plan' s educational component was placed in an appendix. She said Planning needed to find various ways to help the public understand preservation issues . She said there were things in the fine tuning ordinance which would help streamline the City' s process and provide some incentives . Council Members comments/concerns included the City' s ability to perform annual survey updates which were costly and time consuming, ability to have some type of historic assessment district which would help pay for itself, additional burden on property owners would make it more difficult to create historic districts, utilization of historic preservation programs/tax credits, educational components, utilize downzoning as a preservation tool and clean up conflicting preservation/zoning policies . Councilmember Christensen asked if any models were available for some type of historic assessment district which would help cover costs . Ms . Coffey said she would get information for the Council . Councilmember Love said the plan required additional updates/surveys and suggested including language to explore efficient ways to accomplish that . Councilmember Penfold said he wanted to explore opportunities to create assessment districts (potentially self-imposed) that would be independent of historic designations and explore funding opportunities to provide incentives, restoration, maintenance, street lighting, curb and gutter, park benches, signs, etc. Councilmember Christensen said a CDA could be created that might provide an opportunity to give property tax rebates to home owners over a certain time period. Councilmember Love said the new community engagement position could be utilized to help the Council develop an educational piece to inform the community about available incentives and how the overall process worked. Councilmember Simonsen asked if Council Members wanted the Administration to fine tune the plan and then have it scheduled for adoption. A majority of the Council wanted to discuss/adopt Items a-d together. b. 4:34:51 PM HISTORIC DISTRICT DESIGNATION PROCESS AND CRITERIA.

Mr. Pace said Page 4 of the Council staff report contained a list of "Matters at Issue" that he felt the Council needed to carefully review because this proposal was charting new territory. He said there were numerous ways to craft legislation but it was important to avoid eroding the Council' s land use authority. He said part of what he felt the Council was being asked to do was to craft a model/policy that was workable for Salt Lake City and potentially other cities if it were to be adopted by the State Legislature. Councilmember Simonsen said the proposal would be scheduled for discussion at a future Work Session. c. 5:30:32 PM 5:37:58 PM CHARACTER CONSERVATION DISTRICTS .

Discussion followed regarding certain concepts or projects that could be considered for a type of partnership. Discussion followed regarding the vision for transit service in Salt Lake City and how the City Council could develop a more intentional approach to all the different ways mass transit could serve a community. Further discussion followed surrounding the challenge between the UTA mission and the City Council to needs identified by Salt Lake City. Interest was expressed in knowing specific costs to increase service frequency, i .e . , to bring all routes from 15 minutes down to 10 and then down to five (or the total it would cost to reinstate all bus lines that had been cut over the past number of years) . It was explained that it costs approximately $900, 000 to run one route all day. Additional challenges such as increase in traffic and air quality affects were considered. Desire was expressed between both parties to keep this important dialogue open and consider additional discussions in the near future . Councilmember Simonsen left the meeting at this time.

The briefing will also include an update of various planning processes currently underway, including: View Map • Big and Little Cottonwood Canyons; • Mountain Transportation Study; • Revision of Salt Lake County' s Foothill and Canyons Overlay Zone; • Revisions of Salt Lake County' s Wasatch Canyons Master Plan. Mayor Ralph Becker and Jeff Niermeyer briefed the Council . It was explained that even though Big and Little Cottonwood Canyons and Wasatch Canyons were outside of Salt Lake City proper, the City was thoroughly engaged with these areas due to the fact they were charged with providing high quality and adequate water supply and with that responsibility came extraterritorial (beyond immediate borders) powers and duty to protect the watersheds . It was stated that Administration wanted to update the Council and encourage any feedback or questions in this regard. A map of the area was illustrated. Discussion followed regarding challenges being seen today never seen before in terms of the activity level and changing circumstances within these canyons . Uses have intensified, the population has grown, and the areas so popular; the fragile nature of the watershed resources was now more important than ever as the valley depends on that water. Mayor Becker discussed proposed development in these areas and the potential negative effects and access to the water supply areas that could come as a result . He stated transportation and public safety issues must be considered for the future and there has been difference of opinion expressed between those wanting preservation and those touting expansion of ski areas . There has been consideration of removing land from federal ownership to private in effort to facilitate development . Mayor Becker explained for the past several months, all interested parties have worked together to agree to pursue one comprehensive process that would serve everyone involved, both on the municipal and federal level . They are finally arriving at a point to launch an agreement of all major entities to participate in one process that feed efforts and decision-making processes for not just one area or proposal, but all together. He clarified that unless decisions start being considered from a holistic level or approach, the overall end results may not be desirable . It was stated the current US Forest Service plan does not allow ski area expansion and would need to be amended. Discussion followed regarding the amount of time it takes to make decisions for these areas . Mayor Becker explained it has taken this long for the parties involved to agree to have a more expedited, better coordinated, and efficient process so that developers are not waiting a decade from now for someone to make a decision. He stated he feels it is a huge benefit to our region economically if there is a good way to connect the ski areas, our valley, and those regions on the other side of the basin. If not done the correct way, however, the future of these areas could be jeopardized. The Council commended Mayor Becker and Jeff Niermeyer on their progress in the broad area process and policy arena; they offered any assistance possible . Mayor Ralph Becker said Administration will be looking for support from the Council in making funds available to protect our valuable resources . #5. 8:18:07 PM AUTHORIZE OPINION QUESTIONS TO BE SUBMITTED TO VOTERS. Receive a briefing regarding a proposal to enact an ordinance authorizing opinion questions (Move to Amend) to be submitted to the voters of Salt Lake City and establishing related procedures (enacting Chapter 2 . 69 of the Salt Lake City Code) . Petitioner - Salt Lake City Council. View Attachments Neil Lindberg briefed the Council with handouts and a PowerPoint presentation which provided background as well as current issues requested by Move to Amend to be modified or changed. He explained Counsel for the County Clerk' s Office have informally advised the Attorney' s Office of their opinion that the State Election Code (Title 20A) does not allow an opinion question to be placed on a municipal ballot . The question at this time is whether the Council would like to proceed with an ordinance to allow local opinion questions to be presented in a non-traditional way in any combination or format; and if so, consider the Move to Amend proposed amendments and whether they would strengthen the proposed ordinance, and at what cost. Cindy Gust-Jenson encouraged the Council to consider the suggestions as important policy and budget questions . She said if the draft ordinance was amended, she suggested the Council consider these in the context of being aware that at a later date they could result in cost impacts or policy shifts . Mr. Lindberg then reviewed the proposed amendments and straw polls were taken as follows : • Require a voter information pamphlet with arguments for and against a particular question, which would appear on the ballot (whether online or in printed form) ; Straw Poll : There was consensus amongst the Council Members present to be consistent and follow the outlined state process and model (UCA Title 20A Election Code) regarding the voter information pamphlet needing to be in written format and made available but could be dispersed by any method. • Require the City Recorder to act on a request within 60 days; Straw Poll : There was apparent consensus amongst the Council Members present for the City Recorder to act on a request within 60-days . • Require the City Recorder to publish an opinion short title and number in at least two Salt Lake County newspapers, including a locally-owned newspaper if one exists; Straw Poll : There was apparent consensus, with Councilmember LaMalfa abstaining, amongst the Council Members present to publish this information on the Utah Public Notice Website . There was consensus amongst the Council Members present to follow the standard City process and procedures for notification and to include posting on the City Web Page . There was a tie vote (Council Members LaMalfa, Garrott, and Penfold voting in favor and Council Members Christensen, Love, and Luke opposed) to include the requirement to publish in the newspapers . It was determined that Councilmember Simonsen would have to determine the vote on this issue . • Require the Council to approve a resolution within 60 days establishing the time and manner of voting; There appeared to be consensus to require the Council to approve a resolution within 60 days (from the date of receiving the recommendation from the City Recorder) for the Council to set the date of the election and the manner of voting. • Include a public review of the vote canvass and require the City Council endorsement by a formal vote; There appeared to be consensus to refer to the typical canvassing procedures and adopt the same (i .e . , accept the canvass in a public meeting to review the board results but not endorsement by a formal vote) . • Require the City Attorney to prepare a formal memorandum analyzing actions the City could take to effectuate the public desire evidenced in an opinion question outcome; There was consensus not to require a formal action on the part of the City. • Reduce the signature requirement to one-half the number of signatures required for an initiative; and Council Members Christensen, Garrott, Love, Luke and Penfold were in favor to adhere to the referendum and initiative requirements and not lower the threshold; Councilmember LaMalfa was opposed because he felt the required amount to be onerous . • Allow all residents, not just legal voters, to respond to an opinion question . Citing the need to conduct the election within a defined group of people and adhere to the current process to mandate the level of integrity, there was unanimous consensus not to allow all residents to vote (only legal voters) . Mr. Lindberg stated he would prepare the updated ordinance and bring it back for Council review and consideration. #6 . COUNCIL PHILOSOPHY STATEMENTS .

COUNCIL ADDED ITEMS 9:12:38 PM • I-1 : Fleet Plan Changes - ($0 - Source: Fleet Replacement Plan Changes) Note: The Proposed Fleet Replacement Plan changes were transmitted separately to the Council in September of 2012 . It was determined to include this transmittal with other budget amendments that will be addressed by the Council during the Budget Amendment No. 1 briefing. Discussion was held regarding vehicle replacements including the Fire Department. A majority of the Council was in favor of the proposal . Questions for Consideration: o Would Council Members support adding money to the CIP fund budget for kitchen facilities at The Leonardo? Part of the original plans for the remodeling of The Leonardo building included building out the kitchen area to support catering opportunities, and the potential to recognize additional revenue from those activities . However, before the building renovations were complete, this did not occur for a variety of reasons . The Leonardo is requesting support for adding a kitchen area at a cost of approximately $150, 000 . The Administration has elected not to include this request in the budget amendment. If the Council is in support of adding this to the CIP Fund, staff will include it as a "Council added item. " A majority of the Council was in favor. Councilmember LaMalfa said the City was approached by IRC and the County Refugee Department about creating a commercial kitchen to help small food entrepreneurs get started. He said there might be a chance to facilitate an entrepreneurship kitchen along with the Leonardo' s catering kitchen. He said the Farmer' s Market was also looking for a kitchen. A majority of the Council was in favor of having additional follow-up and potentially adding this to the budget amendment. o In addition to the funds added in the CIP Budget, do Council Members want to allocate more funds for Lighter, Quicker, Cheaper (LQC) projects? During the Council' s CIP budget discussions, funding was added to be available for LQC projects to move forward. This included $90, 000 for a to-be-determined process available for LQC proposals, plus $88, 512 for movable traffic calming devices . Council staff is working on a process for review and approval of these LQC ideas . It will tentatively be briefed for Council in late November. Councilmember Simonsen said this item was scheduled for discussion in two weeks and a decision could be made then. Councilmember Luke requested a list of projects being considered for the proposed funding. o Are there any pending communication projects that warrant carrying over Council Member Communication funds? Late in the summer, the Council approved a change to the Council Policy regarding Council Members' communication budgets to allow for the carryover of some funds into the new fiscal year if the funds were tied to a specific pending project . Councilmember Simonsen said he had a carry-over item that needed to be added to the budget amendment. #2 . 6:13:04 PM INTERVIEW MATTHEW ALLRED, KARA GLAUBITZ , KERRI HOPKINS, LINDA HUNT, AND JOHN JOHNSON PRIOR TO CONSIDERATION OF THEIR APPOINTMENTS TO THE SALT LAKE CITY ARTS COUNCIL.

THE LANDFILL FACILITY IS JOINTLY OWNED BY SALT LAKE CITY AND SALT LAKE COUNTY. THEIR REVENUES ARE GENERATED FROM TIPPING FEES FOR WASTE DISPOSAL. THE COUNCIL WILL DISCUSS TWO PARTS TO THE LANDFILL' S BUDGET: View Attachments • Mid-year adjustments to the Landfill 2012 budget, including a review of a significant shortfall in anticipated salvage metal sales and adjustments to planned capital equipment purchases and other expenses . • Proposed annual budget for 2013 , including a proposed fee increase, decreasing compost sales, and other budget changes to account for the reduced salvage metal sales . Lehua Weaver, Rick Graham, Larry Miller, Patrick Leary and Nancy Sanders briefed the Council with handouts . Mr. Leary provided background as to metal salvage sales and the Landfill purchase of several shredders with magnets to collect metal from the waste stream. Discussion followed regarding reasons why the salvage sales did not meet estimates and the subsequent request to reduce the revenue budget significantly by $3 . 1 million; why there was not a corresponding drop in expenses; and whether staff took a hard look at reducing expenses to meet the reduced revenue and volume for long-term sustainability. Concern was expressed regarding the significant delay in communication of this information. Mr. Leary responded there should have been regular reports made to the City Council . He suggested this be implemented on a quarterly basis . Mr. Graham said it was known in June there were challenges . He said communication was delayed between both parties and exact numbers were not known. Further discussion followed regarding fee increases, with the suggestion being offered for the Landfill to consider all potential areas of efficiency. Inquiry was raised as to the potential effects of fee increases to private haulers and the desire for landfill services to remain "marketable" . Mr. Leary said in effort to gain a better knowledge of where funds were being spent; Salt Lake County was reviewing cost centers and trying to determine what it costs to run the Landfill, independent of the transfer station and vice versa. Ms . Weaver said it had been a few years since the Council had been provided a future fund balance report or projections for planned uses of the designated account. She said this might help with discussions and to lay the groundwork if the Council was involved in discussions regarding the budget sustainability. The Council felt it would be appropriate for Staff to follow up in this regard. Councilmember Simonsen said a public hearing on both items (a & b) would be scheduled for December 4, 2012. #3. 3 : 35 : 49 PM BRIEFING REGARDING A PROPOSED FEE-GENERATED STREET LIGHTING ENTERPRISE FUND THAT WOULD PAY FOR STREET LIGHT IMPROVEMENTS AND MAINTENANCE. View Attachments • THE PROPOSAL WOULD CHARGE A MONTHLY FEE OF $3. 73 FOR ALL SINGLE, DUPLEX AND TRIPLEX RESIDENTIAL UNITS. • COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL CUSTOMERS AND MULTIFAMILY RESIDENCES THAT ARE LARGER THAN TRIPLEXES WOULD BE CHARGED $3. 73 MONTHLY FOR EACH 75 FEET OF FRONT FOOTAGE. THE CITY ESTIMATES $3 . 6 MILLION WOULD BE GENERATED IN ADDITIONAL REVENUE SHOULD THE FEE PROGRAM BE ADOPTED . THE PROPOSED FEE WOULD NOT RESULT IN A CORRESPONDING DROP IN PROPERTY TAXES . FUNDING FOR STREET LIGHTING CURRENTLY COMES FROM THE GENERAL FUND, WHICH IS FUNDED THROUGH ANNUAL PROPERTY TAXES . David Everitt, Russell Weeks, Jim Lewis and Jeff Niermeyer briefed the Council with handouts and PowerPoint information. Discussion followed regarding proposed surcharges and total monthly fees; inquiry was raised as to whether the purpose was to more equitably distribute decorative and safety lighting. Staff said the purpose was to implement a simplified process and phase out the 42 special assessment area districts . Mr. Everitt said as each district was set to expire, staff would address one geographic area at a time. Council addressed the public outreach and comments provided such as : costs should come out of the general fund; duplication of fees for neighborhoods that have already installed and paid for the decorative lighting; private lighting programs; standardized lighting; and the overall confusion throughout the City and specifically, when property changes ownership. Discussion followed regarding the full program to implement and maintain street lighting, including the type, style and location of lighting. Mr. Niermeyer said focus had been in establishing the enterprise fund which would have a dedicated funding source to allow creativity, flexibility, and ability to review the full range of technology available. Councilmember Simonsen said a public hearing was planned to be scheduled for December 4, 2012. #4 . 4 : 31 : 09 PM RECEIVE A BRIEFING REGARDING THE PURCHASE OF A 15 . 85 ACRE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 2596 NORTH 2200 WEST THAT COULD POTENTIALLY BE DEVELOPED AS A NEIGHBORHOOD PARK SERVING THE ROSE PARK AND WESTPOINTE COMMUNITIES . THE LAND IS ABUTTED BY FARMLAND AND COULD BE USED FOR MULTIPLE RECREATIONAL USES AND PUBLIC BENEFIT. THE LAND ACQUISITION WOULD COST $690,000 IN OPEN SPACE BOND FUNDS . View Attachments Emy Maloutas, Leslie Chan and Lehua Weaver briefed the Council with handouts and a map. Discussion followed regarding the location, with Ms . Maloutas stating the property is located just outside the City boundaries but was surrounded by City property; it was currently used for agriculture and was bordered by 2200 West on the west and I- 215 on the east. She explained two City advisory boards had evaluated the property and found it to be consistent with City open space criteria. Ms . Maloutas said proposed use of the land would be park space with a yet-to-be-held public process to determine whether it would have an off-leash use and/or bike terrain park or other playground and park amenities . She said focus at this time was on property acquisition; following this acquisition, there should be approximately $2 million remaining. Clarification was offered that bond funds were issued incrementally and the full amount was not bonded for initially. Discussion followed regarding process, with Council consensus appearing to have interest in the property acquisition but wanting to conduct a public hearing as part of the process . It was stated water rights were not included as part of the acquisition, but there were canals on the property in which others had interest. Councilmember Simonsen said this item would move forward to public hearing to be scheduled for December 4, 2012. #5 . 4 : 48 : 52 PM BRIEFING REGARDING A PROPOSAL TO AMEND THE HOLLADAY SUBDIVISION PLAT AND RELOCATE A 20 FOOT MAINTENANCE AND PEDESTRIAN EASEMENT ON PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1201 EAST WILMINGTON AVENUE . UNDER THE PROPOSAL, THE EASEMENT WOULD BE RELOCATED TO THE EASTERN-MOST 20 FEET OF THE PROPERTY. CURRENTLY, THE EASEMENT SITS 25 FEET FROM THE EASTERN BOUNDARY OF THE PROPERTY. THE RELOCATION WOULD ALLOW THE PROPOSED BUYER OF THE PROPERTY, WILMINGTON GARDENS GROUP LLC, TO DEVELOP THE LOT PURSUANT TO PETITION PLNSUB2012-00121 . (ITEM H2) View Attachments Justin Belliveau, Nick Norris and Nick Tarbet briefed the Council with handouts . Background was provided that in January 2011, the RDA Board of Directors approved a 20-foot maintenance and pedestrian easement to be retained by Salt Lake City Corporation during the land trades that created Hidden Hollow and the Wilmington Avenue parcels . The purpose of the easement was to provide pedestrian access to the Hidden Hollow Natural Area from Wilmington Avenue west of 1300 East. Although the easement had been approved administratively, Utah Code dictates a public hearing is held. Inquiry was raised as to the original creation being part of the Parleys Trail Network; concern was expressed there was no reference and the specific request was made by the Sugarhouse Community Council Land Use and Open Space Committee that the Parley' s Trail portion the easement would serve (as well as the multi-use nature such as bicycles, pedestrians, and other non-motorized uses) be mentioned in this easement . Clarification was offered to the desire for this to be referenced in the plat . Mr. Belliveau said this was consistent with developer plans for the project and that change would be made on their development plan. There appeared to be consensus to move this item forward to a public hearing to be scheduled for December 11, 2012. #6. 4 : 52 : 03 PM DISCUSS THE PURPOSE AND GOALS FOR EACH OF THE FOLLOWING ADVISORY BOARDS/COMMITTEES AND DECIDE WHETHER CHANGES ARE NEEDED MOVING FORWARD. View Attachments a. Sister Cities Board Luann Clark, Jan Aramaki, Russell Weeks, and Anne Erickson briefed the Council with handouts . Discussion included policy considerations regarding direction, purpose, expansion, staffing and oversight, develop/maintain partnerships, explore and expand economic development component, collect/catalog/identify/display gifts, open meetings law training/compliance, adequate bylaws/terms, conflict-of- interest issues, review how other cities structure their program and how the board participated/managed funds and expenditures . Anne Erickson, Sister City Board Chair, said City guidelines limited the amount of support the board could provide and asked for the Council' s help/suggestions . She said in order to move forward and expand the economic development relationship as many foreign cities wanted, there needed to be staff support. Councilmember Simonsen asked Ms . Erickson to have the board discuss and report back to the Council about potential ordinance modifications including specific areas that might be appropriate for how funds could be used. Ms . Erickson said one area that could be reviewed related to the ability for board members to use funds for travel . Councilmember Simonsen said additional discussion was needed to identify specific policy issues the Council wanted to address such as how to expand under-developed/under-represented areas, staffing needs, examine the composition of the board, identify/develop partnerships with organizations such as Chamber of Commerce, World Trade Center and Utah Council for Citizen Diplomacy, identify resources for the board including education, cultural, arts, and economic development and explore ways to develop ties with other City departments including Arts Council . Inquiry was raised as to whether this type of Board would function better outside of City government, with Ms . Halladay stating she would conduct research as to other cities around the country, the structure and relationship of their boards, and whether they were inside or outside of governmental structure . b. 5 : 30 : 23 PM Tentative - Bicycle Advisory Committee View Attachments David Everitt, Robin Hutcheson and Russell Weeks briefed the Council with handouts . Background was provided that the Administration transmittal letter proposed a Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Board to advise the Transportation Advisory Board on issues pertaining to bicycling. The new committee' s chair or member would sit on the Transportation Advisory Board. This group would succeed the now-disbanded Mayor' s Bicycle Advisory Committee . Ms . Hutcheson stated the reason to favor the committee structure was relative to concerns a separate board would bifurcate efforts in creating a great bicycling city; the thought was such a group could provide better context, structure, and help if associating with the existing transportation board. Discussion followed regarding process for member appointment, with Ms . Hutcheson stating the desire was to open this up to the community and the hope was to receive a diverse pool of applicants; the recommendation was for the Mayor and City Council to approve appointment . Discussion followed as to whether this group would be advocacy or advisory, with Mr. Everitt stating this group would be advisory to the staff of the Transportation Division, other members or employees of the City, and the Mayor and City Council . Further discussion followed regarding the ideal relationship between advisory boards and the various branches of city government, as well as the methods or direct lines of communication that were allowed. Council discussed board composition; politics and procedures of boards; the ability of staff to contextualize the recommendations of the committee; what an individual wanted and what a committee wanted typically being two different things; where a board resides and how it was staffed having direct impacts; and the importance of civility in the process . Ms . Gust-Jenson said the Council had expressed desire to remedy the inconsistency in the ordinances relative to the boards and clarification of their direction. She said the Planning Commission by state statute was charged to advise the City Council directly. She said the Council' s Attorney has been assigned to come back with an overall ordinance which clarifies the language in all the board ordinances relative to the board role and providing advice to the Mayor and City Council . Ms . Hutcheson explained the next step was to return with a transmittal to include a revision to the ordinance as it currently exists that calls out this committee as a standing committee of the Transportation Advisory Board. She said they needed to finalize roles and responsibilities of a Bicycle Advisory Committee which stood alone from an ordinance but were important . c. 6 : 05 : 05 PM Ground Transportation Informal Discussion Group View Attachments Maureen Riley, Larry Bowers, Russell Weeks, and Tom Schneider briefed the Council with handouts . Background was provided that the informal Ground Transportation Discussion Group was established by ordinance to meet for two years; their charge was scheduled to expire December 3, 2012 . This item involved City Council discussion pertaining to potential future configurations of a group that might offer advice to the City on ground transportation issues . Discussion followed regarding membership of the group and how it tied to different parts of the ground transportation community with a variety of representation. Recent legislative amendments and Utah State Code applicability were mentioned. Concern was expressed regarding City process and policy; how this group or its structure was going to move Salt Lake City forward in quality of service; how to find the balance in representation and regulation; quality, pricing, delivery and service levels of ground transportation and how to build these into a process yet not over regulate . A 4-3 Straw Poll was conducted in favor to develop language or a proposal to develop a formalized Ground Transportation Committee or Advisory Board of some sort. Following discussion, it appeared that Council consensus was to extend the group for a time period of 18 months and to task this informal group to explore the role of the group and whether or not it should continue in some type of permanent manner. #7 . 7 : 35 : 07 PM HOLD A DISCUSSION TO REVIEW THE EDUCATION PHILOSOPHY STATEMENT.

Discussion followed regarding old or previous district and Council Member requests . Ms . Hutcheson said she had an older map that she could send to the Council showing how traffic calming had been handled in the past . She said locations would be the most valuable information the Council could provide . Inquiry was raised as to self-funded or donated traffic calming devices, with Mrs . Gust-Jenson offering clarification that as long as whatever was installed was approved by City standards the City could accept donations . Further discussion was held regarding whether the Council wanted a say in the appropriation of funding or input as to location. b. 8 : 38 : 07 PM Revising the City' s Master Plan process.

Discussion followed regarding ways to create neighborhood identity and boundaries in a way to invigorate master plans and neighborhoods . Comments included the current plans and time invested was too large and a great deal of staff time, effort and money was spent in the production as well as whether the entire Council or a small group should be involved. The Council requested Administration return with process ideas and a deliberate allocation of time be allowed at a future work session meeting for this topic. #9. 8 : 49 : 36 PM REPORT OF THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, including a review of Council Information items and announcements .

Mr. Lindberg said House Bill 216 prohibited random inspections so other options could be explored such as performing inspections in conjunction with annual license renewals or doing inspections every second or third year.

He said administrative costs associated with the proposal needed to be addressed and the Administration was currently evaluating options on how to proceed.

View Attachments Cindy Gust-Jenson briefed the Council . Straw Polls were taken on the following statements . 1 . Be open to an entire re-engineering of the public process that could include significant changes to the current process, to the point that the proposed process may not resemble the existing process . A majority of the Council was in favor. 2 . Focus City-wide policy statements in the City-wide plan (the Plan Salt Lake effort) , rather than duplicating them in localized plans . A majority of the Council was in favor. 3 . Streamline the Master Plan process to: • Reduce the amount of time it takes to develop and process plans . • Make the plans more action-oriented and user-friendly (simple, easy to read and reference) so that they can inform the development process and make the City' s processes more predictable . Councilmember Garrott said he felt the second bullet point did not mean streamlining and suggested making it a separate number. A majority of the Council was in favor of making it number four (4) . 4 . Assure that the full Council' s policy input is included early in the process so that it can be incorporated into broad community outreach efforts . • Keep the framework broad enough to avoid creating rework and limiting options for elected officials . • Include an opportunity for initial City Council input and then check-in at various points in the process . (See attached list of processes where this approach has worked. ) Discussion on this item included how to reconcile the difference between Council providing input versus directing the public process, outline expectation process, broaden not constrain issues, clarify that Council input early in the process was not meant to predetermine outcome, straw polls could be viewed as predetermining an outcome rather than just raising issues, final decisions made by Council, developing public policy was responsibility of legislative body, utilize broad framework so all ideas raised by Council could be part of the process and give planners discretion about how to incorporate Council Members input/ideas . Councilmember LaMalfa suggested modifying the statement to clarify the intention was not to determine what plans should be . 5 . Use master plans as a resource and implementation tool for the capital improvement (CIP) process . A majority of the Council was in favor. 6 . Enhance the public process for Master Plans to: • Continue to broaden public input. • Reach traditionally under-represented communities and interest groups to better represent the diversity of the City. • Retain and enhance `deep' participation from constituents familiar with the City. • Use technology in creative way. A majority of the Council was in favor of the proposed language with the exception that the words "familiar with the City" be removed from the third bullet point . Discussion was held on tying plan updates to election cycles, other frequency issues and number of plans needed/contemplated in business nodes/neighborhoods . Ms . Gust-Jenson said the Administration was working on this simultaneously with the Council and would probably provide an update on January 8, 2013 . Councilmember LaMalfa said he thought in prior Council discussions, there was consensus on exploring smaller area plans . Councilmember Simonsen said there was also discussion about defining different plan types from Citywide comprehensive to small level . Ms . Gust-Jenson said those issues were not included in the document but could be added at the Council' s direction along with a list of potential first steps identified by the Council . Councilmember Simonsen said Council Members input was needed before January 8, 2013 if the intent was to forward this document to Community and Economic Development . Ms . Gust-Jenson said she would e-mail information/list to the Council and add this piece to next week' s announcements . A majority of the Council agreed that eight planning areas were too big and asked staff to add that to the consensus list . #7 . 6:30:49 PM 6:32:00 PM DISCUSS THE GUIDING PHILOSOPHY STATEMENTS THEY ADOPTED OVER THE PAST YEAR.
