She said in the Council' s packet, Item A-9, Budget Issues, contained information the Council had requested. She said the Mayor's response was labeled Item 7F. #2. INTERVIEW ELEANOR MUTH PRIOR TO CONSIDERATION OF HER APPOINTMENT TO THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE. Ms. Muth said she had been a resident of Salt Lake City for 40 years. She said during that time she had demonstrated a commitment to the community through her volunteer efforts.

INTERVIEW TEDDI VELARDE PRIOR TO CONSIDERATION OF HER APPOINTMENT TO THE POLICE CIVILIAN REVIEW BOARD. Ms. Velarde said she had social work background and had also been a probation officer. #4. RECEIVE A BRIEFING REGARDING THE CITY TAX AND REVENUE ANTICIPATION NOTES. View Attachment Dan Mule' and Gary Mumford briefed the Council from the attached handout. Councilmember Christensen said last year interest rates dropped fast and interest earned became less than interest due on the notes. Mr. Mule' said the current 2002 Series were issued with a coupon of 2.5%. He said the yield on those was paying 1.5%. He said through the end of April the City's year to date average rate was approximately 2.5%. 03 - 1 PROCEEDINGS OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH TUESDAY, DUNE 10 , 2003 #5. RECEIVE A FOLLOW-UP BRIEFING REGARDING ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT REVENUE BONDS FOR SPRING AIR-MOUNTAIN WEST. View Attachment Dan Mule' , LuAnn Clark and Gary Mumford briefed the Council from the attached handout. Mr. Mumford said the Council had held a tefra hearing on this item. He said bond counsel had notified him that disclosures and public notices were not advertised correctly. He said bond counsel had provided the City with the proper public notice and requested the hearing be held again. #6. RECEIVE A BRIEFING REGARDING RESTRICTIONS OF RAILROAD HORNS AND WHISTLES ON THE 900 SOUTH RAIL LINE. View Attachment DJ Baxter and Russell Weeks briefed the Council from the attached handout. Mr. Weeks said the Administration said that Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) would retain the authority to override the proposed ordinance if safety conditions warranted. Councilmember Christensen asked why the proposed ordinance did not include the Guadalupe area. Mr. Baxter said Union Pacific (UP) was willing to try the change on 900 South. He said that crossing did not receive as much traffic as some of the main lines and trains were not moving as fast. Councilmember Jergensen asked what the status of the quiet zones was. Mr. Baxter said UDOT's approval was complete, but they had not received approval from the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) . He said the proposed ordinance was an interim measure on 900 South so residents could get relief until quiet zones could be implemented. Councilmember Jergensen asked about funding for improvements. Mr. Baxter said one funding option was fund balance. He said downtown improvements could also be covered by money set aside by the Redevelopment Agency (RDA) years ago. He said another possibility was to identify eligible RDA housing funds. He said costs could be reduced on 900 South improvements by closing intersections. He said the average cost at intersections was $300,000 per crossing. He said seven roads crossed railroad tracks on 900 South. He said bonding could also be considered. He said the cost range could be anywhere from $500,000 to $2.5 million. He said if the FRA allowed the City to put in the least expensive improvements at every crossing, it would cost approximately $500, 000. Councilmember Christensen asked how housing funds could be used. Mr. Baxter said RDA had confirmed that funds for housing related projects outside a project area could be used. Councilmember Christensen said a public hearing needed to be held by the City or by UDOT. Mr. Baxter said there were two options: 1) the Council could advertise and hold a formal public hearing, or 2) agenda the item for a future meeting and allow people to comment during citizen comments. He said UDOT would hold a 15-day public comment period regardless of what approach the City took. He said if UDOT received a certain number of comments, they would hold a public hearing as well. Councilmember Christensen asked if any Council Members were opposed to holding a public hearing on July 1, 2003. All Council Members were in favor. #7. RECEIVE A BRIEFING REGARDING THE SALT LAKE CITY HOUSING AUTHORITY/HOUSING DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION BOND REFINANCING. View Attachment Dan Mule' , LuAnn Clark, Dick Young, Kathy Ricci, Blake Wade and Gary Mumford briefed the Council from the attached handout. Councilmember Christensen asked if there was a cap on the interest rate after 10 years. Mr. Wade said Zions Bank had indicated a 12% cap. 03 - 2 PROCEEDINGS OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH TUESDAY, DUNE 10 , 2003 Councilmember Turner asked if interest rates increased tremendously, would the Housing Authority consider selling properties. Ms. Clark said if the interest rate was higher after the 10-year period and the Housing Authority felt they could not afford the rates, then there were several options. She said one option was to sell assets. She said an analysis would be done before that decision was made. Councilmember Saxton asked if the Housing Authority had ever sold property to pay off a debt. Ms. Ricci said no. She said selling assets was an option so the bond would not become the City's responsibility. #8. RECEIVE A FOLLOW-UP BRIEFING REGARDING THE MAIN STREET PLAZA, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO CLOSING, VACATING, AND ABANDONING A PEDESTRIAN ACCESS AND PASSAGE EASEMENT LOCATED ON THE FORMER MAIN STREET RIGHT-OF-WAY BETWEEN NORTH AND SOUTH TEMPLE STREETS PURSUANT TO PETITION NO. 400-03-01, AND RELATED MATTERS. No discussion was held. #9. DISCUSS POLICY DIRECTION AND OTHER ISSUES RELATED TO THE BUDGET. View Attachment Gary Mumford, Michael Sears and Sylvia Jones briefed the Council from the attached handouts. Mr. Sears referred to a handout labeled Item A-9. He said Item No. 2, Capital Improvement Program (CIP) critical projects, the sum of the projects was $1,575,000. He said one $400,000 project was listed in additional funding sources. He said the Mayor' s recommended CIP budget was $27, 600,000. He said that money was broken down into categories: ongoing, general fund allocation, general fund balance allocation ($3 million) , impact fee allocation ($1.2 million) , Class CCIP allocation ($1.4 million) , the Library general obligation bond ($6. 9 million) , Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) CIP portion ($1.96 million) and additional funding source allocation ($2.1 million) . Mr. Sears said 9% of the recommended budget was $13, 881,275. Councilmember Buhler asked if last year the Council budgeted 9% of ongoing revenue and then augmented it with one-time revenue. Mr. Sears said that was correct. Councilmember Jergensen asked what the basis was for 9%. Ms. Gust-Jenson said the CIP committee had asked the Council to perform a study because they felt between deterioration of capital assets and the spending of the capital program, the City was taking more money out than they were putting in. She said the committee had looked at long term needs. Councilmember Lambert said some new projects on the CIP list ranked higher by the committee and the Mayor's proposed budget. He asked how much of the proposed CIP budget was new projects as opposed to replacing aging infrastructure. Mr. Sears said he would get that information. Councilmember Jergensen said the entire 9% could be allocated towards new projects. He said new projects would do nothing to replace existing and deteriorating infrastructure. Mr. Sears said Item No. 3, was quiet zone funding. Ms. Gust-Jenson said staff needed direction on whether Council wanted the motion sheet to include moving the $2.5 million now or if they wanted to wait until later in the year to allocate the money. Councilmember Christensen suggested the Council wait to appropriate the monies. Councilmember Jergensen said he wanted to wait until Council had a specific funding source. He asked if construction projects such as quiet zones had to come from CIP. Ms. Gust-Jenson said Council could take money from any source and place it in CIP. Councilmember Jergensen said RDA options could present viable funding alternatives for quiet zones. 03 - 3 PROCEEDINGS OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH TUESDAY, DUNE 10 , 2003 Councilmember Buhler said he also wanted to wait to fund quiet zones. He suggested Council approve the time sensitive list with the exception of Sugar House lighting and with $300,000 for Rose Park lighting. Councilmember Lambert said he agreed. He said he was willing to defer funding for quiet zones, but the Council needed to keep in mind that this could be funded from fund balance. Councilmember Love said she wanted to wait to fund quiet zones until they had more cost information. She said she was in favor of Councilmember Buhler's proposal to go ahead with time sensitive CIP projects. Mr. Sears said Item No. 4, Legislative Intents, A thru N, were new intents. Councilmember Lambert said he felt it was better to select a few legislative intents and follow-up on them. Councilmember Christensen said Intent Statement A was bonding for efficient irrigation systems for parks and golf courses. Council Members were in favor. He said Intent Statement B was a grant writing team. Council Members were not in favor. Councilmember Christensen said Intent Statement C was retirement payouts. A discussion was held regarding putting $13 million in a separate account for employee retirement. Councilmember Christensen requested the Administration come back to the Council by September 1st, 2003 with additional information. Mr. Sears said Intent Statement D was collection of fines. All Council Members were in favor. Mr. Sears said Intent Statement E was Salt Lake City resident golf discount passes. Council Members were not in favor. Mr. Sears said Intent Statement F was actual vehicle expenses. Councilmember Christensen suggested that the Council watch this issue in the department' s budget review. Mr. Sears said Intent Statement G was library fiscal controls. All Council Members were in favor. Mr. Sears said Intent Statement H was semiannual reports on the status of legislative intent statements and action items. All Council Members were in favor. Mr. Sears said Intent Statement I was City management consolidation. Council Members were not in favor. Mr. Sears said Intent Statement J was City policy coordination. Council Members were in favor. Mr. Sears said Intent Statement K was the Fleet Division audit/Fleet implementation plan. Council Members were not in favor. Mr. Sears said Intent Statement L was revenue collection. Council Members were in favor. Mr. Sears said Intent Statement M was early retirement program. Ms. Gust- Jenson said language could be changed to provide options and additional information by a certain date. Council Members were in favor. Mr. Sears said Intent Statement N was City employee benefit plan review. Councilmember Christensen said the date for the review could be changed to January 15th of each year. Council Members were in favor. Councilmember Buhler suggested that contingency language be put in the appropriation for traffic calming. He said that would give policy direction to traffic calming programs. Mr. Sears said staff would work on language and bring it back to the Council. Mr. Sears said Item No. 5 was potential Council budget policies. Councilmember Christensen suggested this item be discussed during the Council' s retreat in January. Mr. Sears said a comment had been made. He said if midyear revenue was less than anticipated and positions needed to be eliminated, that should be considered during February of 2004. He said that way there would be a full half year of savings. Councilmember Christensen said that could be discussed at the Council's retreat. 03 - 4 PROCEEDINGS OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH TUESDAY, JUNE 10 , 2003 Mr. Sears said Item No. 6 was fund balance. He said they were calculating the current fund balance at $24,773, 000. A discussion was held on how to use fund balance. Mr. Sears said Item No. 7 was follow-up responses from the Administration. He said 7A, Career Ladder Program in the Prosecutor' s Office, was addressed in a memo from the Mayor to the Council Chair. Councilmember Christensen asked if any Council Members wanted to change their position. No Council Members did. Councilmember Christensen said the Council would recognize the Administration's cuts of $96,000 from Public Services for salting and snow removal and $278,500 from the general fund contingency. The meeting adjourned at 10:33 p.m. bj 03 - 5 i SALT LAKE CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT DATE June 6,2003 SUBJECT: TAX AND REVENUE ANTICIPATION NOTES STAFF REPORT BY: Gary Mumford REQUESTED ACTION: Salt Lake City issues Tax and Revenue Anticipation Notes (TRAN's) each July to assist with cash flow needs of the General Fund. Property taxes, one of the City's major sources of revenue, are primarily received in December. The City normally borrows funds for General Fund operations in anticipation of receiving property taxes. The federal government restricts the amount of borrowing (at the lower tax-exempt rates) to actual needs as determined by a formula. The City generally borrows close to the maximum allowed because of the advantage of earning greater interest revenue than the interest expense. The notes are issued and funds borrowed for slightly less than a • one-year period. For fiscal year 2002-2003, the City borrowed $25 million. The Administration is proposing to issue $21 million for fiscal year 2004. Bids from potential buyers of the TRAN's are scheduled to be opened on July 1, 2003. That evening, the Administration will ask the Council to authorize the award of the sale of the notes to the lowest bidder. The City Treasurer will provide the Council with a summary of the results of the sale including the number of bids received and the net effective interest rate of the low bid. The actual closing and receipt of funds is scheduled to take,place on July 15, 2003. The Notes mature and will be repaid on June 30, 2004. MATTERS AT ISSUE/POTENTIAL QUESTIONS FOR ADMINISTRATION: By issuing Tax and Revenue Anticipation Notes, the City can typically earn a significant amount of additional interest income. However, the overall interest rate environment during the period that the Notes are outstanding is a key factor in determining the effectiveness of the borrowing. The City Treasurer is expecting to earn between 25 and 50 basis points (0.25% and 0.50%) on the amount borrowed over the amount of interest that it pays. An analysis of the cash flows forecasted by month for next fiscal year (July 2003 through June 2004) shows that the General Fund anticipates incurring a maximum deficit of$20,897,260 without considering the planned • $21,000,000 borrowing. During the 2002-2003 fiscal year, the City met the following federal spend- down requirements to allow the City to keep excess interest earned over • interest expense: • 90% of the proceeds plus interest on the tax and revenue anticipation notes must be spent within six months; or • At some point within the first six months, the actual cash flow ending balance must be less than or equal to 5% of the prior year's actual disbursements. Since the maximum allowed amount of the proposed Notes for fiscal year 2003-04 is less than the amount borrowed during fiscal year 2002-03, the • City Treasurer is projecting that interest income will be $60,000 less than the amount included in the Mayor's recommended budget. The City Treasurer anticipates a coupon rate of 2% on the tax notes, which will save about $80,000 over the amount of interest expense included in the Mayor's recommended budget. The Council's options relating to the proposed budget include: 1. Decrease budgeted interest revenue by$60,000 and decrease interest expense by$80,000. This will free up $20,000 for other Council priorities. The budget for interest expense can be adjusted by budget amendment if the actual coupon rate is greater than 2%. 2. Decrease both interest revenue and interest expense by$60,000. This will allow some leeway in case the coupon rate is greater than 2%. The • budget for interest expense can be adjusted by budget amendment depending on the actual coupon rate. cc: Rocky Fluhart,David Nimkin,Dan Mule,DJ Baxter JUN 0 5 2003 DANIEL A.

Fluhart, Chief Administrative Officer DATE: June 3,2003 FROM: Daniel A. Mule, City Treasurer SUBJECT: Tax and Revenue Anticipation Notes, Series 2003 (TRAN's Series 2003) STAFF CONTACT: Daniel A. Mule, City Treasurer TELEPHONE NUMBER: 535-6411 RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council hold a discussion and schedule the adoption of a resolution authorizing the issuance and confirming the sale of$21 million in Tax and Revenue Anticipation Notes for fiscal year 2004. • DOCUMENT TYPE: Briefing/Discussion BUDGET IMPACT: Approximately$420,000 (based on an estimated coupon of 2.0% and a yield between 1.00% and 1.25%) in interest expense in the General Fund during fiscal year 2004 and a correspondingly higher amount in interest income, depending on the level of interest rates throughout the fiscal year. The spread between interest income and interest expense is expected to be between 25 and 50 basis points. DISCUSSION: TRAN's are short term borrowing instruments (debt) issued for one year or less in anticipation of future tax collections. The purpose of the borrowing is to provide financial assistance to the City's General Fund during its "cash-poor" period until the major portion of property taxes are received, usually in December. The exact amount to be budgeted for interest expense will not be known until the Notes are sold on July 1, 2003 at which time the actual coupon will be determined. To assure compliance with applicable federal and state regulations, sizing restrictions are adhered to when determining an allowable principal amount, and actual cash flows relative to spend down requirements are regularly monitored to avoid rebate. • H:\Treas\DansDocs\council cover letter 451 SOUTH STATE STREET, ROOM 228, SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH 84111 TELEPHONE: 801-535-7946 FAX: 801-535-6082 ��i ECVELEP PAPER r R WELLS FARGO • Public Finance MEMORANDUM TO: Carlton Christensen and Members of the Salt Lake City Council , ��,✓ FROM: Kelly Murdock,Financial Advisor to Salt Lake City DATE: June 5, 2003 RE: Proposal to Refund Salt Lake City Housing Authority's Series 1995 Bonds • Thepurpose of this memorandum is to offer our comment and perspective on the p P proposed issuance of Series 2003 Refunding Revenue Bonds by the Salt Lake City Housing Authority (the "Housing Authority") for the defeasance of bonds issued by the Housing Authority in 1995. As a matter of course, a municipality normally pursues the refunding (refinancing) of one of its bond issues for one or more reasons. These might include: • To achieve lower overall debt service costs (due to lower current interest rates); • To rewrite outdated or burdensome bond covenants; • To restructure debt service payments to better fit new cash flow requirements;or • To free up cash reserves. In the case of the refunding issue currently being proposed by the Housing Authority, Wells Fargo Public Finance has observed that the transaction in question is, in fact, being pursued for reasons that include all of those stated above. According to requests made by both the Housing Authority and the City, Wells Fargo has undertaken an independent review of refunding analysis that has been provided to us by Mr. David Miner, Financial Advisor to the Housing Authority. • Memorandum to Salt Lake City Council • June 5,2003 Page 2 of 3 Wells Fargo's refunding analysis of the Housing Authority's Series 1995 Bonds has produced the following conclusions: 1. Based upon an offer by Zions First National Bank to purchase the Series 2003 Bonds with a 10-year fixed rate of approximately 4.05% (in today's market), our analysis indicates that the Housing Authority should be able to achieve over the next 10 years net-present-value savings of approximately $825,000, confirming estimates made by Mr. Miner; 2. With the complete defeasance of the Series 1995 Bonds, the Housing Authority also appears to be able to secure a smaller debt service reserve requirement ($500,000) through the Zions Bank private placement, thus freeing up additional cash reserves. These additional monies appear targeted for needed Housing Authority capital improvements and renovations. An additional benefit of reducing the bond's debt service reserve requirement is the reduction in negative arbitrage currently experienced in the Housing Authority's 1995 debt service reserve fund. The Series 1995 Bonds pay an average coupon rate of 6.14%, yet the current rate of return on the bond's reserve fund is approximately 1.70%, resulting in excess of 440 basis points 110 of negative arbitrage currently); 3. The proposed refunding transaction will also place the Housing Authority's annual debt service requirement on a level basis rather than a steadily increasing one. This should assist the Housing Authority's budgeting efforts vis-a-vis its ongoing cash flow requirements and potentially alleviate the need for rent adjustments or the further deferring of needed maintenance to meet an ever-increasing debt service requirement. Wells Fargo would also point out (as has Mr. Miner) that there are certain elements of risk associated with this proposed refunding. Given that the Series 2003 Bonds' interest rates will only be fixed for the next ten years, these bonds will be exposed to the risk of a higher interest rate reset in 2013—possibly even higher than those of the Series 1995 Bonds. This may be offset, however, by the fact that the Housing Authority could, if it desired, sell either some or all of its properties in 2013, and pay off the remaining principal balance on the bonds, or choose instead to refinance through another method. Another risk factor in this bond transaction is that which is born directly by the City itself through its affirmative pledge to replenish, through an emergency appropriation, any and all draws that the Housing Authority makes on the bond's debt service reserve fund in the event of a Housing Authority cash crisis. It should be noted that this "moral obligation pledge" of the City has necessarily existed since the initial issuance of the bonds and is not new to this particular refunding transaction. The reason for its inclusion is to essentially provide necessary credit enhancement to the bond issue. Simply stated, without it, the bonds would have been, and would continue to be, extremely difficult if not impossible to sell due to the narrow cash flow margins that have been historically exhibited by the . Memorandum to Salt Lake City Council June 5, 2003 Page 3 of 3 Housing Authority's rental properties. Wells Fargo would point out, however, that the risk to the City of having to make an emergency appropriation to replenish a Housing Authority draw on its bond reserve fund is actually lessened through this refunding transaction, not increased. It is also Wells Fargo's current opinion that without the City's moral obligation pledge on this bond transaction, a savings refunding opportunity would not exist. It is, therefore, Wells Fargo's conclusion that the proposed refunding transaction makes good sense from a number of perspectives. In today's interest rate market, the Housing Authority should be able to generate net-present-value annual debt service savings over the initial ten-year fixed rate period, it should also be able to generate approximately $500,000 for needed repairs and improvements, and it should be able to restructure its annual debt service payments from ascending to level. While there are risks associated with this transaction, we would note that there also appear to be real risks associated with not pursuing this refunding transaction. We would also note that the Housing Authority's Financial Advisor, Mr. Miner, should be complemented on identifying this advance refunding opportunity for the Housing Authority. Due to certain technical changes in the federal tax code in 1986, such a refunding opportunity was not immediately apparent but has subsequently been verified by the Housing Authority's bond counsel. • • SALT LAKE CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT DATE: June 6,2003 SUBJECT: INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT REVENUE BOND SPRING AIR MOUNTAIN-WEST AFFECTED COUNCIL DISTRICTS: District 3 STAFF REPORT BY: Gary Mumford ADMINISTRATIVE DEPT. Community and Economic Development AND CONTACT PERSON: Luann Clark CC: Rocky Fluhart,David Nimkin,Alison Weyher,David Dobbins,LuAnn Clark, Bob Gore,Ed Rutan,Chris Bramhall,Dan Mule,DJ Baxter Spring Air Mountain-West,Inc.,located in Salt Lake City at 402 West 300 North,is requesting that the City issue industrial development revenue bonds in an amount not to exceed$4,600,000 to help the company finance expansion and modernization of its manufacturing facility. Repayment of the bonds will be the responsibility of Spring Air Mountain-West. The bonds will not be considered an obligation of the City. Spring Air Mountain-West has finalized its direct-pay letter-of-credit with U.S.Bank to 41 guarantee repayment of the bonds. Under this direct-pay letter-of-credit,U.S.Bank will make the bond repayments regardless of whether Spring Air Mountain-West is financially able to reimburse the bank.

Bond counsel has provided the Council Office with the suggested wording for the notice of the public hearing. (See attached.) The IRS has set a"volume cap"for each state($150 million per year for Utah)for entities issuing industrial development revenue bonds or private activity bonds. (Providers of health care or educational services are not subject to the volume cap.) The Utah Legislature has established priorities for allocating the volume cap with most going to the Utah Housing Finance Agency for fist-time single-farhily homeowners or to college student loan programs. On January 8,2003,the Utah Private Activity Bond Authority authorized up to$4,455,000 for industrial revenue bonds subject to City • Council approval and issuance. This authorization was valid for 90 days. Spring Air Mountain-West received an extension that is valid until July 10th. Spring Air Mountain- West will apply for an additional extension in case there are any delays in closing the sale of the bonds. Spring Air's bond counsel requests that the Council set the date for a TEFRA hearing to be held on July 1st. Following the hearing,Spring Air Mountain-West requests that the Council consider a resolution authorizing and approving the issuance of industrial 11111 development revenue bonds,authorizing the execution,delivery and performance of an indenture,a loan agreement,a bond purchase agreement and other documents related to the bonds;and authorizing and directing that other necessary and appropriate actions be taken in connection with the bonds.

ISSUES/QUESTIONS FOR CONSIDERATION 411 • According to the Administration's transmittal,the proposed ordinance would be an "interim measure"until the establishment of railroad crossing quiet zones on the 900 South line between 700 West Street and Redwood Road. • Should the proposed ordinance contain a sunset provision tied to the implementation of quiet zones along the 900 South line? DISCUSSION-BACKGROUND The proposed ordinance stems from a an agreement earlier this year between the City and Union Pacific Railroad to mitigate the effect of trains on neighborhoods surrounding the 900 South rail line between 700 West Street and Redwood Road.As noted,the Administration views the proposed ordinance as an"interim measure"until quiet zones are established where the rail line intersects City streets.(The Administration provided a copy of the final agreement,and it is attached to this memorandum.) The agreement became effective on March 24,2003.Under the agreement the Administration and Union Pacific have worked to develop a"mutually agreeable for crossing improvements to the 900 South Line."The plan has been submitted to the Utah Department of Transportation and the Federal Railroad Administration.The Department of Transportation has approved the plan. The Railroad Administration has yet to approve it,but may soon.If the Railroad Administration approves the plan,Union Pacific then will prepare a cost estimate for implementing the plan because Union Pacific will perform most of the work on the project. According to the Administration,no funds have been allocated for the project.The Administration's rough estimate of the project's cost is$2 million.According to the • Administration,the general timetable for quiet zone implementation is to have them operational by late fall this year. 1 The proposed ordinance would reduce the distance that train engines would have to blow whistles to meet safety standards from the current 1,800 feet before an intersection to 900 feet. • According to the Administration's transmittal,the Utah Department of Transportation has approved the proposed ordinance based on Utah Law 56-1-14.The law reads in part," ... local authorities in their respective jurisdictions may by ordinance approved by the Department of Transportation... may further restrict such ringing of bells or sounding of whistles ... so as to provide for ...the elimination of the sounding of such bells or whistles or sirens,except in cases of emergency." According to the transmittal,the Administration has proposed that the City Council schedule a public hearing on the proposed ordinance.The main reason for scheduling the hearing would be to use the hearing instead of UDOT's public process.The transmittal contains a letter by a UDOT official that says in part,"Assuming that the public will be able to comment on the ordinance before it is passed,the Department will waive the public notification period that is normally required when modifications are made to a crossing." According to the Administration,implementing quiet zones on the 900 South rail line will require adopting another ordinance.The City Council may wish to consider amending the proposed ordinance to include a sunset date tied to the adoption of the anticipated quiet zone ordinance. • 2 U SLC CONTRACT NO. 08-1-03-7064 MAR 2 4 2003 IP AGREEIbILNT RV V� `�P •QER THIS AGREEMENT is made this day of , 2003, between SALT LAKE CITY CORPORATION, a municipality and political subdivision of the state of Utah ("City"), and UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD COMPANY, a corporation of the state of Delaware ("Union Pacific"). RECITALS: A. City and Union Pacific are parties to pending litigation relating to Union Pacific's use of a rail line in Salt Lake City between Redwood Road and 700 West known as 900 South and shown on Exhibit A attached and by reference made a part of this Agreement(the"900 South Line"),namely,Salt Lake City Corporation v. Union Pacific Railroad Company, Case No. 02-4080 in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit, and Salt Lake City Corporation v. United States of America, Case No. 02-9526 in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit. B. City and Union Pacific have reached agreement on certain issues involved in or relating to the litigation and Union Pacific's use of the 900 South Line, and wish to memorialize that agreement. AGREEMENT: • For and in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, City and Union Pacific agree as follows: Section 1. Quiet Zone. (a) Whistle Sounding Requirements. Union Pacific agrees to support City's efforts in obtaining Utah Department of Transportation ("UDOT") approval pursuant to Utah Code Annotated Section 56-1-14 of a City ordinance under which the required distance for whistle sounding for the grade crossings on the 900 South Line shall be decreased to 900 feet. City agrees to promptly seek enactment, and seek UDOT approval of,the ordinance. This ordinance shall, by its terms,be subject to and superceded by any other City ordinance that further restricts the use of locomotive whistles in connection with the implementation of the quiet zone contemplated in this Agreement. (b) FRA Quiet Zone Interim Order. City and Union Pacific will work together to develop a mutually agreeable plan for crossing improvements to the 900 South Line and the Downtown Area to serve as the basis for petitioning the Federal Railroad Administration("FRA") to establish the 900 South Line and the Downtown Areas as quiet zones. After the plan is developed, Union Pacific agrees to petition the Federal Railroad Administration("FRA") for interim orders creating quiet zones for the 900 South Line and the Downtown Area pursuant to 49 U.S.C. Section 20153. City agrees to cooperate with and assist Union Pacific in obtaining such FRA interim orders, including enlisting the support and assistance of UDOT. • N:\My Documents\UP\Settlement\Phase 1 Agreement 2-6-03-FINAL.doc 1 • SLC CONTRACT NO. 08-1-03-7064 1. The 900 South Line is defined as Union Pacific's rail line, running east-west and located just south of 900 South Street in Salt Lake City, from 700 West to Redwood Road, inclusive. The quiet zone shall apply to all crossings along the line in this defined area. 2. The Downtown Area is defined as Union Pacific's main line,running north-south from 600 North to 200 South inclusive. The quiet zone shall apply to the following at-grade crossings along the line in this defined area: 500 North, 400 North, 300 North, South Temple/600 West, 100 South, and 200 South. (c) Proposed FRA Quiet Zone Rule. Promptly after the proposed FRA quiet zone rules published at 65 Fed. Reg. 2230 (January 13, 2000)become effective, City agrees to designate the 900 South Line and the Downtown Area as quiet zones, and to file with the FRA for acceptance of the quiet zones. City also shall enlist the support and assistance of UDOT. Union Pacific agrees to support and assist the City in preparing and progressing the quiet zone applications. (d) Sequencing of Petitions. The petitions/applications under(b) and(c)above for 900 South and the Downtown Area shall be filed as a joint petition/application for the proposed quiet zones unless it is determined that combining both quiet zones in one petition/application will jeopardize the quiet zone for 900 South. If such a determination is made, separate petitions/applications will be filed and the filing sequence will be in the order perceived as the most favorable for FRA approval of the 900 South quiet zone. (e) Compliance with Conditions to UDOT Approval/FRA Orders. City and UP agree that the cost and expense of any conditions to obtaining the UDOT approval and FRA orders referred to above in Section 1, including, without limitation, crossing improvements, shall be borne by City, and that work toward implementing the quiet zone conditions will proceed only upon approval of funds by the Salt Lake City Council. After the necessary improvements shall have been determined and designed, and the City and Union Pacific shall have established a mutually agreeable procedure for payment by the City to Union Pacific for the cost and expense of any such improvements that,by their nature, may be installed only by Union Pacific, Union Pacific will order the necessary materials for such improvements within thirty(30) calendar days of receipt of payment from City, and, after delivery of the materials, shall prioritize the work of installing such improvements so that such improvements shall be installed, tested, and fully functional as soon as reasonably practicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the parties determine it would be more economical for City to order the materials for the improvements to be installed by UP, such materials shall be ordered by City and not by UP. (f) Maintenance. City shall bear responsibility for maintaining in a fully functional condition all signage and street improvements required as supplemental safety measures to implement the quiet zones. Union Pacific shall bear responsibility for maintaining in a fully functional condition all crossing signals and crossing gates installed as supplemental safety measures in the quiet zones. City will reimburse Union Pacific fully for any repair or replacement of crossing signals or gates resulting from damage or destruction to City-funded signals or gates • N:\My Documents\UP\Settlement\Phase 1 Agreement 2-6-03-FINAL.doc 2 SLC CONTRACT NO. 08-1-03-7064 caused by the acts of anyone other than Union Pacific, except that the City shall not be required to make such reimbursement if the Federal Railroad Administration(FRA) shall, by rule, place the financial obligation for such repair or replacement on the railroad. City shall not be responsible for maintenance,repairs, or replacement of railroad crossing equipment due to ordinary wear and tear. Any equipment (such as,by way of example but not in limitation, directional horns, traffic signals and enforcement cameras)that is interconnected to, but not an integral component of, UP's signal equipment, shall, for purposes of this Section 1, be deemed to be a street improvement. Section 2. Transportation of Nuclear Materials. Union Pacific agrees that it shall not transport over the 900 South Line spent nuclear fuel, as defined in 40 CFR 191.02(g), or transuranic radioactive waste, as defined in 40 CFR 191.02(i), carried by special manifest trains to Yucca Mountain or any other temporary or long-term storage facility, unless such transportation is due to emergency, or is required on the 900 South line by specific directive of the United States Government or order of a court of competent jurisdiction. Union Pacific agrees not to initiate or support any request for such order. For purposes of this Section 2, the term "emergency" means the occurrence of an event such as a landslide, mudslide, derailment, labor strife or other substantial damage to or blockage or disruption of another rail line of Union Pacific, such that the shipment of the nuclear materials in question will be significantly delayed unless the 900 South Line is utilized for their transport. Section 3. Speed Limits. Union Pacific represents that current track conditions, equipment and • operating standards do not allow trains on the 900 South Line to exceed thirty(30)miles per hour because of the curve off the rail line to Provo just north of Roper Yard, and that this speed limitation is reflected in the current Union Pacific General Orders (timetable): Union Pacific will not initiate any upward revision of this speed limitation without first providing the Salt Lake City Mayor and City Council at least ninety(90) days' advance written notice and making representatives available to meet with the Mayor and City Council to discuss the justification for the proposed change. Section 4. Fencing. City and Union Pacific will work together to develop a mutually agreeable plan for appropriate fencing and other barriers (such as Jersey barriers at closed crossings) for portions of the right of way of the 900 South Line. Within thirty(30) days after the plan is developed, Union Pacific shall advance to City all funds necessary to purchase and install all fencing/barriers, except for barriers needed to effectuate street closures, which shall be installed at the City's expense. Upon receipt of such funds, City agrees to install, repair or replace fencing/barriers in accordance with the plan. City shall be solely responsible for maintaining the fencing/barriers at its cost and expense. Section 5. Crossing Guards. Union Pacific agrees to reimburse the City for the cost of crossing guards at Navajo and Emery Streets through December 31, 2002. City agrees to hire or contract for such crossing guards and, effective January 1, 2003, to bear the entire cost and expense of such crossing guards at least through July 1, 2006, or whatever period of time City deems necessary to establish safe rail crossing habits among school children, whichever is longer. N:\My Documents\UP\Settlement\Phase 1 Agreement 2-6-03-FINAL.doc 3 SLC CONTRACT NO. 08-1-03-7064 Section 6. No Admission of Liability. This Agreement is entered into pursuant to settlement discussions between the parties concerning the Litigation and Union Pacific's use of the 900 • South, and is not and shall not be deemed an admission of liability with respect to any matter relating to the Litigation or Union Pacific's use of the 900 South Line. Section 7. Funds Subject to Appropriation. Any obligation by City to expend funds or incur costs and expenses under this Agreement is subject to applicable law and appropriation by the Salt Lake City Council. Section 8. Representations. UP represents that it has not: (a)provided an illegal gift or payoff to a City officer or employee or former City officer or employee, or his or her relative or business entity; (b)retained any person to solicit or secure this Agreement upon an agreement or understanding for a commission,percentage, brokerage or contingent fee, other than bona fide employees or bona fide commercial selling agencies for the purpose of securing business; (c) knowingly breached any of the ethical standards set forth in the City's conflict of interest ordinance, Chapter 2.44, Salt Lake City Code; or(d) knowingly influenced, and hereby promises that it will not knowingly influence, a City officer or employee or former City officer or employee to breach any of the ethical standards set forth in the City's conflict of interest ordinance, Chapter 2.44, Salt Lake City Code.

Baxter Senior Advisor to the Mayor SUBJECT: Ordinance to Reduce Train Whistle Sounding Distance on 900 South ACTION ITEMS: (1) Schedule briefing, public hearing, and vote before the City Council to enact section 14.44.095 of the Salt Lake City • Code. Hearing will require 7 days published notice. DISCUSSION: As part of Salt Lake City's Phase I agreement with Union Pacific regarding 900 South, Union Pacific agreed to reduce the approach distance for blowing its whistles on the 900 South line. The railroad's typical practice is that a certain distance before reaching a street crossing, the trains will begin blowing the whistle, and continue blowing until the locomotive has reached the crossing. Currently, this distance on the 900 South line is about 1800 feet. Under our agreement, instead of starting the whistle blow 1800 feet before the crossing, Union Pacific has agreed to not start blowing until 900 feet before the crossing, reducing significantly the amount of whistle-blowing on the line. This is just an interim measure which we hope will provide some relief to the residents until we get the full quiet zone in place. The means for implementing this change is enacting a new city ordinance, which UDOT must approve, setting forth the new whistle sounding distance requirement. The City Attorney's office has drafted the attached ordinance, and UDOT has provided written approval. Union Pacific has committed to make the • changes as soon as Salt Lake City adopts the ordinance. 451 SOUTH STATE STREET, ROOM 306, SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH 841 1 1 TELEPHONE: 801-535-7704 FAX: 80 1-535-6331 Recv��eo PnPca ATTACHMENTS: (1) Proposed Ordinance Section 14.44.095 (2) UDOT Approval Letter CONTACT PERSON: D.J.

In accordance with Utah Code 56-1-14, the Department of Transportation has found that restricting the locomotive horns to sounding within 900 feet of the crossing will not cause undue reduction in user safety at the crossings included in the ordinance. Therefore, Salt Lake City is hereby granted permission to enact the proposed ordinance. Please notify this office when the proposed ordinance comes before the City Council. Assuming that the public will be able to comment on the ordinance before it is passed, the Department will waive the public notification period that is normally required when modifications are made to a crossing. Once the Mayor has approved the ordinance, the Department will authorize Union Pacific Railroad to make the necessary operational and signing changes to enact the ordinance. The Utah Department of Transportation retains the right to revoke this permission to restrict locomotive horns should the Department find that safety conditions are negatively impacted by the proposed ordinance.

SALT LAKE CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT DATE: June 6,2003 SUBJECT: REFINANCE HOUSING AUTHORITY BONDS AFFEc IEv COUNCIL DISTRICTS: Citywide(guarantee of bonds from Citywide revenue) STAFF REPORT BY: Gary Mumford ADMINISTRATIVE DEFT. Community and Economic Development AND CONTACT PERSON: Luann Clark CC: Rocky Fluhart,David Nimkin,Alison Weyher,David Dobbins,LuAnn Clark,Dan Mule,DJ Baxter KEY ELEMENTS: The Salt Lake City Housing Authority is requesting approval from the City Council to refinance Housing Authority bonds to take advantage of low interest rates. Salt Lake City assisted in credit enhancing bonds issued by the Housing Authority in 1987. • MATTERS AT ISSUF/QUESTIONS FOR THE ADMINISTRATION: The Housing Authority issued the bonds to finance housing projects primarily for the elderly. The Housing Authority loaned the proceeds to a non-profit subsidiary of the Housing Authority, the Housing Development Corporation (HDC). The City assisted in credit enhancing the bonds, which allowed the Housing Authority to use the City's bond rating to obtain favorable fmancing. A few years after the bonds where issued, the Housing Development Corporation had financial difficulties and did not have adequate funds to make the bond payments. In 1991, the City made loans to the Housing Development Corporation. As part of the solution to reduce the deficit, the bonds were refmanced in 1995. Because of the slow economy and higher than usual vacancy rates, the Housing Development Corporation is again experiencing some cash flow problems and has had to defer maintenance. Refinancing the 1995 bonds will decrease the debt service requirements and free up some bond reserves to be used for roof repairs, replacing stairways, refinishing hallway decks, and replacing interior doors. The refmancing is proposed to be a private placement with Zions First National Bank. The refunding of the bonds will not change the City's obligation on the 40 bonds. The bonds will be outstanding for 20 years, but the interest rate is guaranteed for the first 10 years. After 10 years the rate will be adjusted to an independent index. If interest rates increase tremendously in 2013, the Housing Authority could consider selling projects to pay off the bonds. There are several schedules attached to the Administration's transmittal. • Perhaps the most informative is the "Savings Analysis" schedule prepared by Municipal Bond Consulting noted as page 3 at the bottom. This schedule shows the current debt service requirements, the proposed debt service and the total savings. Another schedule, titled "Additional HDC Debt 8s Revenues," (noted as page 10) shows that the Housing Development Corporation anticipates a negative cash balance beginning in fiscal year 2006 when the City's loans begin to be due. The Council may wish to discuss with City administration and with representatives of the Housing Authority risks to the City and any other options explored for resolving the cash-flow difficulties. Attached is a letter from the City's fmancial advisor confirming the savings estimates made by the Housing Authority's fmancial advisor. BACKGROUND: In 1987, the Salt Lake City Housing Authority issued $14,900,000 of bonds and loaned the proceeds to the Housing Development Corporation, a non-profit subsidiary of the Housing Authority to purchase land and improve properties. Salt Lake City guaranteed the bonds. Bond proceeds were used to purchase the Riverside Apartments, Ben Albert Apartments, and to purchase land. The • City loaned $800,000 ($500,000 federal grant and $300,000 of CDBG funds) to help purchase the Ben Albert Apartments. Loan repayments begin in 2006. A few years after the bonds were issued, the Housing Development Corporation had financial difficulties and did not have sufficient funds to make the bond payments. The City established a team to explore solutions. The team recommended that the Housing Development Corporation build a housing project on land previously purchased. The Housing Development Corporation built Hawthorne Court on the land with the remaining bond proceeds. The City loaned $495,000 of CDBG funds to purchase a new boiler for the Ben Albert Apartments. The City purchased the Canterbury project for the Housing Development Corporation using CDBG funds. In 1995, the bonds where refinanced to take advantage of declining interest rates and to lower annual debt service requirements. Recently, the Housing Development Corporation has had to defer some maintenance because cash flow difficulties. The proposed bond refmancing will reduce annual debt service by$70,000 to $130,000 per year and free up $500,000 of debt service reserve funds for urgent capital improvements. Refinancing the bonds may help the Housing Development Corporation in the long-term to meet its bond repayments as well as repay the City. 4110 MAY 3 0 2003 ALISI N WEYHER ~P..�� 1�A a� "' ��`� `T,�OPRAII`v � ROSS C. "ROCKY" ANDERSON • DIRECTOR COMMUNITY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT MAYOR COUNCIL TRANSMITTAL TO: RockyFluhart, Chief Adminis tive Offi< - DATE: May 30, 2003 FROM: Alison Weyher, CED Directo RE: Salt Lake City Housing Authority/Housing Development Corporation Bond Refinancing STAFF CONTACT: LuAnn Clark,HAND Director DOCUMENT TYPE: The bond resolution and appropriate legal documents will be transmitted when they are received from bond counsel. BUDGET IMPACT: See the discussion below. DISCUSSION: The Salt Lake City Housing Authority issued$14,900,000 of bonds in 1987 at an average rate of 7.25%, and loaned the proceeds to the Housing Development Corporation(HDC), a non-profit subsidiary of the Housing Authority, to • purchase land and improve properties. Salt Lake City secured the bonds and used its bond rating to help the bonds gain a more favorable reception in the market place. A lease/sub-lease agreement was executed whereby the HDC leased the projects to the City, and the City subleased them to the Housing Authority. The bonds were also secured by deeds of trust on the Riverside Apai tiiients and other land that was owned by the HDC. A few years after the bonds were issued, the HUD had financial difficulties and did not have adequate funds to make the bond payments. The City put together a team to develop a"bail out"plan for the HDC to ensure that the bond payments were made and that the City's interests were protected. A plan was developed which included the City purchasing the Canterbury project using CDBG funds for a Section 108 loan($300,000 for 6 years and the rents of the Canterbury were used to make the 108 loan payments). The City also applied for a discretionary federal grant in the amount of$500,000 and used $300,000 of CDBG funds to purchase the Ben Albert project. The remaining HDC funds were invested in a variety of instruments, including municipal bonds and treasury notes, that were receiving attractive interest rates. The monies received from rents at Ben Albert and Riverside, as well as the interest earnings,were combined to make the annual bond payments. In late 1991, interest rates began to drop and some of the HDC municipal bonds were called and the HDC was not able to invest the cash in high interest earning investments. The HDC projected a deficit that would have grown to approximately$6.2 million in 2030. In addition, the Ben Albert project needed a new boiler and reserve funds were not available. The City used$495,000 of CDBG funds to purchase a new boiler, and rents at 451 SOUTH STATE STREET, ROOM 404, SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH 84111 TELEPHONE: B01-535-6230 FAX: 801-535-6005 RECYOLCO PAPER the Ben Albert and the Riverside projects were escalated with subsidies found for lower income residents. Because of the projected deficit the bailout team was reconvened. 10 The bailout team recommended in 1993 that the HDC build a housing project on the Hawthorne property(700 East 600 South). The project was designed to provide a cash flow to the HDC to reduce the deficit and provide adequate funds to make bond payments. Also, it was recommended that the$14,780,000 of Series 1987 Bonds be refunded at a lower interest rate. The bonds were refunded in 1995 with proceeds of $15,770,000 bonds at average rate of 6.06%. The lease structure remained the same, debt service increased 1.5%per year, with a prepayment penalty of 2%, issuance costs of 1.8%, and negative arbitrage of$400,000. As part of the refunding a reserve fund for the properties was established and an agreement signed for the repayment of the City's $800,000 in CDBG money advanced for the purchase of the Ben Albert property and repayment of the$495,000 for the boiler replacement at the Ben Albert with payments starting in 2006. The Housing Authority is requesting approval from the City to refund the Series 1995 Bonds because the rental market has struggled for the last two years, and interest rates are at historic lows. The current interest quotes are at approximately 4.06% for 10 years. The Series 1995 Bonds can be advance refunded to generate $1,278,000 of net savings over the next 10 years ($824,000 net present value), restructure future debt service to be level, reduce the debt service reserve fund from$1,456,000 to $500,000, free up $500,000 for urgent capital improvements which will reduce operating expenses by $60,000 per year and prolong the life of the projects, reduce the annual debt service by $70,000 to $130,000 per year, and reduce the principal balance in 2013 from $13,005,000 to $12,215,000 which is a net reduction of$790,000. Attached is a list of the urgent capital repairs the Housing Authority will make with the$500,000 received from the reduction of the reserve fund. The risks to refinancing are that the interest rate is only locked for 10 years and subject to rate adjustment thereafter. However, the properties can be sold or refinanced at that time, or new bonds may be issued to generate additional savings to the extent the new rate is less than 6.06%. Refinancing also costs money—a call premium of 1.0%, transaction costs of 1.5%,negative arbitrage of$690,000 (4.0%). Waiting one year will offset 31 basis points (41 basis points taxable), or waiting two years will offset 65 basis points (87 basis points taxable). The risks of waiting, however, are that interest rates rise and savings evaporate,the Housing Authority has insufficient funds for capital improvements, and the Housing Authority will be unable to cover debt service from project reserves. The refunding of these bonds does not change the City's obligation on the bonds. The lease agreement obligates the City to pay to the HDC, as an additional rental for the projects, any amount necessary to maintain the reserve fund at an amount equal to the reserve fund requirement. The lease agreement provides that payments made by the City to replenish the reserve fund shall be made by the City within twelve months from the date the City receives notice that the amount on deposit has fallen below the requirement. • This additional rent obligation however, is explicitly subject to annually budgeted appropriations being made by the City for such purpose. If the City decided not to appropriate the funds an"event of non-appropriation"will occur and the City would be required to vacate the projects. However, such an event would likely have a serious negative impact on the City's bond ratings. The goal of the City has always been to make the HDC self sufficient and create a situation wherein the HDC would not need to come back to the City for further financial assistance. The current bond refunding would assist the HDC to meet the City's goal. The City's financial advisor, Kelly A. Murdock, Senior Vice President of Wells Fargo, has reviewed the refunding proposal to ensure that it is in the City's best interest, and is supportive of going forward with it at this time.

CIP Critical Projects The Administration has provided a list of time sensitive CIP projects in response to a Council request made during the May 29 Council briefing. The listing of the projects is attached. The sum of the projects is $1,575,000. There is one project listed in the additional funding sources section of the CIP that is $400,000. The Mayor's Recommended Budget for CIP is $27,601,997. The following categories make up this amount: On-going General Fund Allocation =$10,878,731 General Fund Balance Allocation =$ 3,002,544 Impact Fee Allocation =$ 1,203,160 Class C CIP Allocation =$ 1,400,000 GO Bond Allocation =$ 6,950,559 CDBG CIP Allocation =$ 1,968,000 Additional Funding Sources Allocation =$ 2,199,003 Total =$27,601,997 • During the May 29, 2003 meeting the Council tentatively decided to fund the debt projects and those obligations not related to the Pay-as- you-Go projects. The Council would appropriate an amount equal to the Pay-as-you-Go portion of the CIP to a "holding" account in the CIP so that the Council could consider funding specific projects at a later time. If the Council decides to fund projects that it considers time • sensitive then the appropriation to the "holding" account would be reduced by the sum of the time sensitive projects. During the discussion on General Fund revenue on June 5, 2003 the Council tentatively decided that it wanted to reduce revenue projections by $219,000, reduce General Fund balance appropriation by $1,002,544 and did not want to recognize the $326,675 in anticipated revenue from increases in Telecom Fees. To maintain 9% funding for CIP, the appropriation to CIP would be reduced by $139,339. (Note: One Council member inquired about the 9% CIP calculation. For calculation purposes each 1% of General Fund Revenue equals $1,545,000.) Please see attached for Administration's response. 3. Quiet Zone Funding The City has entered into an agreement with Union Pacific Railroad to II mitigate the effect of trains on neighborhoods surrounding the 900 South rail line between 700 West Street and Redwood Road. The agreement became effective on March 24, 2003. The proposed mitigation plan has been submitted to the Utah Department of Transportation and the Federal Railroad Administration. The Department of Transportation has approved the plan. The Railroad Administration has yet to approve it, but may soon. If the Railroad Administration approves the plan, Union Pacific then will prepare a cost estimate for implementing the plan because Union Pacific will perform most of the work on the project. According to the Administration, no funds have been allocated for the project. The Administration's rough estimate of the project's cost is $2 million. According to the Administration, the general timetable for quiet zone implementation is to have them operational by late fall this year. Because this is a potential obligation of the City and the City entered into an agreement that became effective in March 2003, the Council • may wish to consider funding this item as part of the Fiscal Year 2003-2004 Budget instead of considering this issue during a future • budget opening. 4. Legislative Intent Statements Please see attached for a list of potential Legislative Intent Statements for fiscal year 2003-2004. 5. Potential Council Budget Policies One Council Member indicated an interest that Council Members may wish to consider adopting a Council Budget Policy regarding honoring negotiated union contracts. As listed in the potential Legislative Intent Statements (item L), if the fiscal year revenue information that is reported to the Council is less than the anticipated revenue as contained in the Council adopted fiscal • year 2003-2004 budget, the Council may wish to consider reducing department budgets to reflect the revised revenue information during February 2004. 6. Fund Balance Please see attached for a detailed list of uses and sources of fund balance. 7. Follow-up Responses from the Administration a. Career Ladder Program in the Prosecutor's Office Please see attached for the Administration's response. b. Events Coordinator Position • Please see attached for the Administration's response. c. Emergency Management Position 0 Please see attached for the Administration's response. d. Police Community Mobilization Program Please see attached for the Administration's response. e. Personal Leave Program Attached is an issue paper that was included in the Mayor's Recommended Budget book for fiscal year 1997-98 regarding establishing a personal leave program. This paper provides background information of the personal leave program including benefits of reducing employee absenteeism and reducing the long- term liability to the City. The City's audited financial statements as of June 30, 2002 report a liability of $13.3 million for accumulated vacation and sick leave (portion based on likelihood of employees remaining with the City until retirement). This liability excludes • enterprise funds. One Council Member has expressed interest in allocating fund balance to an account to address this unfunded liability. f. Council Requested Budget Reductions from the Administration. Please see attached for the Administration's response. 8. Council potential budget reductions Please see attached for list. • 2 JUN 0 5 2003 Yq�'m ..� s3'�y` ,t-re'"'?';5���.1��^�- £ ' �`=�?[? �' :fir' www �_.,vR A'a .i...�-.,4,..i .:A -s To: Michael Sears CC: Rocky Fluhart, Steve Fawcett, Gordon Hoskins, Rick Graham, Tim Harpst, Max Peterson From: Randy Hillier Date: June 4, 2003 RE: Time Sensitive CIP Requests During the May 29 Council Briefing, the suggestion was made to delay the adoption of the entire fiscal year 2004 CIP budget until the Council has a better understanding of budgetary conditions, with the exception of CIP funds dedicated to debt service obligations. Although delaying the bulk of CIP projects, even for a few months, will not adversely impact their construction start or completion date, there are some projects which will benefit from an earlier decision. Engineering schedules projects as soon as they are budgeted so each project can be accomplished in as timely and efficient a manner as possible, while ensuring a complete and high quality design process is followed. As a general rule,the design process for the smaller, less complicated projects is begun immediately following the July 1 budget approval. This allows for construction bidding in February or March of the following year, with construction to begin in late spring or early summer. Projects which can be bid • early in the calendar year, while contractors are looking for next summer's work, generally receive lower bids. Shown below is a list of projects and a discussion of the reasons why a timely decision is best. Quayle Avenue Street Construction This request is for$120,000. The design survey and geotechnical investigation need to start in July to allow for the project to be bid by February of 2004. Sidewalk Replacement Special Improvement District This request is for$400,000. The field inventory of existing sidewalk conditions needs to begin in July if possible. This inventory allows Engineering to determine the extent of the defective sidewalk which must be addressed by the Special Improvement District. This also permits Engineering to begin the Special Improvement District process early enough to allow for projects to be bid in the spring of 2004. Jordan Park Peace Garden Irrigation Phase 2 This request is for$190,000. The project is designed and ready for bid this coming July. Construction can begin this summer if funding is approved. Rose Park Street Lighting SID This request is for$300,000. The project requires renewal of the existing SID to . increase rates 50%. The renewal process cannot begin until it is known how much City-provided funding will be available so the geographic area that will receive the 1 new lights can be fixed (Any amount less than approximately$1,000,000 will necessitate doing less than the entire Rose Park area). Once the SID renewal is completed, a contractor will be retained to install the new lights and underground 41 conduit. This type of work can be done year round, so the sooner the SID renewal can be started; the sooner lights can be installed. Sugar House Street Lighting As mentioned above, this request for$675,000 can also be filled by RDA funds. Either way, the project is fully designed and ready to go to bid. Delay in funding would delay going to bid. The work can be done any time of the year,excluding the holiday shopping season. Pedestrian Safety Devices This request is for$150,000 to continue the efforts such as countdown timers, ped- actuated flashing lights at crosswalks, etc. The $150,000 fund that was approved two years ago is now depleted. Not funding this now, or even a smaller portion as an interim measure will delay plans to order more countdown timers and require continued reliance on the flashing lights at crosswalks. New and Replacement Streetlights This request is to continue the $60,000 annual fund to replace non-SID lights as needed. Every year, lights require replacement or major maintenance such as pole replacement. The current year's fund is depleted. Not having this fund available July 1 eliminates the ability to effect repairs. Based on recent history, there is a need on a regular basis to effect emergency repairs on the existing lights. Periodically, new lights are installed; but this is less frequent and they can be placed on temporary hold. Sugar House Park Irrigation,Phase 3 • This request is for$80,000 and entails funding only. The$80,000 represents a portion of the total amount needed for the completion of the irrigation system. The remaining funding for this phase of construction will come from the Sugar House Park Authority and Salt Lake County. Delaying the transfer of funds to the Sugar House Park Authority may cause unanticipated delays. Also, per the Council's request, there are several mission critical CIP projects that should be mentioned. Although these are mission critical projects, a delay of a few months will not effect the construction start date. These projects are listed below. Local Streets Reconstruction,FY 2004 The local streets scheduled for 2004 are designed and Engineering is awaiting funding approval. Delaying this project a few months will no delay the construction start date. Liberty Park Improvements, FY 2004 Rather than a delay in funding, it will be preferable to use funds remaining from the FY 2003 Liberty Park budget allocation to begin the design of projects for FY 2004. • 2 , ADA Sidewalk Access Ramps, Sidewalk Rehabilitation,Traffic Signal Upgrade, 4111 Pedestrian Safety Devices and ADA Playgrounds at Stratford and Steenblik Parks Design work for these projects would not begin until after budget approval. Delaying these projects two months will not delay the construction start date. After discussion with Engineering, it is also worth mention that Engineering is generally on schedule with projects in the Capital Improvement Program. For example, a review of projects approved for fiscal year 2002-03 CIP reveals that all of the projects assigned to Engineering are either complete or under construction, with the exception of ADA compliance in Jackson Park and two projects in Liberty Park. Jackson Park is scheduled to be bid in the next month, as are the two projects in Liberty Park, the North Shelter and the Tennis Center Building.

It specifies certain levels of competence and takes into account the talent, experience and investment of time the City makes into the overall competence of the employee. It is the result of an objective Job Classification Process, identified by Human Resources, which was implemented not as a part of a compensation package but as a part of an objective systemic improvement that identified such a career ladder as a necessary component of increasing efficiency and productivity for this particular job in the City. 2) The career ladder was the result of a study, and a response to, the high turnover rate of employees in the prosecutor's office. In 1996 the study identified a turnover rate of 28%. The career ladders objective was, and is, to reduce this turnover rate because as such it demonstrated an inefficiency and loss of productivity. 3) The purpose of advancement attempts to retain attorneys who have demonstrated their competence in the office. Their investment of time results • in efficiency and productivity which is a valued asset to the City as an administrative objective as well as a delivery and quality of service. The more time an attorney spends at his/her job the better and more efficient he/she becomes. The ability to retain such experience allows the office to increase its efficiency. 4) The inability to promote and reward competence leads to a high turnover rate. The higher the turnover rate the higher the frequency of dropping the overall quality of the work product and lost efficiency through the loss of talent. Each new hire cannot function at the same level of competency as a more experienced attorney. It will generally take anywhere from 6-9 months to master the job. The loss of historical knowledge is also over detrimental. If there is no possibility of advancement then one can only attract people with no experience and once they obtain it they will not be retained for a longer period of time. 5) The current structure of pay between the Civil and Criminal side shows the inherent difference between two classes of attorneys. One is not better than another but they do different things. Nor is one more important than another especially if you are the victim of a crime or if as community you are dealing with criminal conduct which impacts your quality of life or safety. The compensation package is an objective measurement of experience and talent. One in the current comparative inequity still produces significant return for every dollar invested. • ! 6) The workload and the nature of the work are highly stressful and extremely demanding. In response to today's request, I pulled up responses from the 1110 attorneys from 1986. It was enlightening to read the level of the stress had not changed but the quality of job satisfaction had. The current corps of attorneys is rewarded on the principles of efficiency,productivity and longevity. They are highly motivated individuals who perform at incredible demands not because they wish to be punished but because we have communicated to them that they will be rewarded for their loyalty to the City and their competence in performance. They know that if they wish to make this job a career they can do so because their talent will be objectively recognized. 7) The sacrifices demanded from this office are met and the objectives obtained because there is a trust that their efforts on behalf of the City will not be overlooked. This office has, and will continue to, make cuts and seek out efficiencies, whether the Council and administration requests it or not, but because it is the right thing to do. This trust is the result of knowing that there is an objective and predictable method of evaluation and advancement. 8) It is hoped that any such concerns will be equally applied. If the concern is that an extraordinary budget requires extraordinary sacrifices then these sacrifices inherently more fair if applied to all departments and individuals (career ladders equally)but not targeted at specific individuals or departments. Inherent fairness requires that all shoulder the weight equally. This poses an additional challenge as it focuses on individuals in transition but would exclude all those who have already obtained the advancement. As a manger, this poses a significant challenge for fairness and morale. . 9) Finally, for us in particular, it is of concern that the message that be consistently be sent out is that sacrifices obtained voluntarily are not rewarded with further cuts and that if the fat is voluntarily cut it does not come back to haunt you because we did not build in a cushion of waste to absorb such cuts. • 78 R 'lima i GAR "a .�/ f ROSS C.

RICHARD GRAHAM wk �,r w ri .per-4.1..�,�-..r _ : PUBLIC SERVICES DIRECTOR DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SERVICES MAYOR Memorandum To: Carlton Christensen, Chair Salt Lake City Council From: Rick Graham 1)16 Date: June 10,2003 Re: Use of City Event Resources At Rocky Fluhart's direction, I am sending you the attached which represents a response to the questions Cindy asked in her June 5,2003 e-mail. I have also provided Rocky Fluhart with a copy of this response. cc: Rocky Fluhart David Nimkin 451 SOUTH STATE STREET, ROOM 148, SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH B41 1 1 TELEPHONE: B01-535-7775 FAX: 1301.535-7789 Why would the events at the Gallivan center not be funded by RDA? • Gallivan events are funded by the RDA. The RDA has contracted with Public Services to both maintain and program the plaza and it support facilities. Public Service Department staff organize and put on approximately 320 events at the Gallivan Center each year. A small number of these events are sponsored by the RDA and promoted as SLC events. The majority of the events are rentals. In addition,the City's Community Event Program,which is a general fund program,has a small staff and budget within Public Services that has traditionally funded the 24th of July,Million Dollar Hole in One,the SLC Classic and others city wide events. Some of these events,like the Classic,utilize Gallivan even though the expense is funded through the general fund. The 9th&9th Street Festival and the Avenue Street Festival are planned and organized by volunteers. Why would the City take on this responsibility for 15m&15th? Will we also take it on for the 9th&9th Avenues? The City is not planning the 15th&15th event. It has simply volunteered to consult and support the event organizers. The City will assist in permitting and other logistical issues. It will also assist others who are planning events if the request is made. Up to this point,those who organize the 9th&9th and Avenues Fair have not sought any support from the City. • There is a cultural fair on Main Street listed for this Saturday but we aren't aware of any publicity for it. Is it going forward? Yes. There was a Cultural Fair on Main Street last Saturday,June 7th. The plan is to have one each month,with dates scheduled for July 12,August 2, September 6th. It is on the Downtown alliance calendar of events and a press release was sent out. It was on FOX 13,Saturday night. These cultural events are part of Mayor Anderson's downtown event program and are organized by Talitha Day and supported by the City's general fund Community Events program. One Council Member expressed concern about the City stepping into areas of hosting that would be best handled by private or non-profit organizations. The City event planners are concerned about this issue also. The RDA built the Gallivan Center specifically to host City sponsored events and to add a wonderful downtown venue that can be used by the public for a variety of uses. Most events held at Gallivan and in other public spaces such as parks are organized by outside organizations. Up to this point in time,the City is not aware that a competition problem exists • 1 The same Council Member expressed concern about the fundraising in competition with non-profit entities and wondered whether the City should consider prioritizing and then funding some of the events. This is already in place. For example the Salt Lake City Jazz Festival is partially funded by the City, and City staff is assisting in the production of the event. The July 24th event in Liberty Park is partially funded by the City. On things like the 911 display and the Ted Wilson event, is it correct to say that City staff just serves as a liaison to get the groups connected to the resource they need, or is City staff involved in organizing the event? Yes, we serve as a liaison to help the organizer navigate the City system. This is not a City sponsored event, but the organizer is using a City facility. Might this staff person be the appropriate person to organize sister city events in cooperation with the committees? There are some special events coming up in July and currently they are being organized by other CED staff, I think. Yes. The City events manager, Talitha Day, could be the point person and even assist in the planning and production of Sister City events or on all City hosted events. Past history indicates the organizers in charge of the Sister City events do an incredible job. I am not aware of other events organized by CED staff that are scheduled for July. One Council Member asked whether there could/should be some link between this position and the Arts Council, due to their Twilight Concert series and hosting of the Living Traditions event. Yes, there should be and currently is a link between the event planning being done by the City Arts Council and the other special event planners of the City. Coordination currently exists so that events are not duplicated. The question could be asked, should the City Arts Council event planners be combined with other event planners at Gallivan? I believe the answer to that question is no, not yet. The City Arts Council only organizes two City events a year outside of its own facility; Living Traditions and Twilight Concerts (these are multiple events at the same site). Since its outside programming is so small when compared to the other event planning functions, it is felt that it can manage its own events efficiently as long as the City coordination continues to take place. With the shift to Public Services, will this staff person be available to assist CED with economic development related events on an on-going basis?Will the person be available to assist other departments? (can't think of an example, but there must be one!) r 2 Yes, shifting the CED event planning function to Public Services did not change • the focus or intent of its downtown event planning function. None of Talitha Day's or the special event planning responsibilities has changed. The objective of the transfer was to combine like functions into one area without losing effectiveness. Also, it is hoped that the combining of functions and resources will also produce some sharing of resources that will create greater efficiency and coordination. Also, if other departments need event planning help, assistance will be provided as long as the resources exist. • Message Page 1 of 1 Sears, Michael 7G From: Fawcett, Steve - nt: Tuesday,June 10, 2003 2:51 o: Sears, Michael Cc: Fluhart, Rocky Subject: FW: Council Briefing Today Importance: High Categories: Program/Policy Michael: I'm forwarding the information I said I had on the Emergency Manager position. If you have questions or if anyone has questions I'm sure Mike will be happy to comply. Please note that I strongly urge the Council to maintain this position. As pointed out by both Police and Fire, an Emergency Manager is crucial to the operations of the City, not only in "big"emergencies but also in "little"ones. Planning for the big one is not enough. We must continually manage the plan and enhance it when new issues arise. I verified with the Mayor the other day also about his reliance on Mike during a major emergency and he concurred that he indeed does rely on Mike. Allow me to make a personal comment. Mike is highly marketable, is sought after within the State for his expertise and presentations before large groups of contingency planners, emergency management folks as well as every day people such as church or civic groups and it would be a great disservice to our citizenry to lose him. • • 6/10/2003 Salt Lake City Emergency Management Strategic • Alliances Attendance/membership justification code: 1 = Networking, information sharing 2 = Provide training 3 = Required by Grant conditions 4 = Advisory board 5 = By Assignment Name of Host Meeting Schedule Justification Meeting Organization Project Impact FEMA Region Monthly 1,3 Conference Call VIII 3rd Thursday Local Emergency SLC Fire Monthly 1,5 Planning Department 2nd Wednesday Committee (LEPC) Terrorism SLC Fire Monthly 1,5 Working Group Department 2nd Thursday i Mgt.

Some civilian emergency management persons are housed in management systems and other's in public safety systems. Regardless of where emergency management is housed, the reason emergency management responsibilities are handled by civilians is that said responsibilities (disaster mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery) are normally not in the scope of already understaffed police and fire duties.

Co-Locate: Both squads will be relocated to the new Pioneer Precinct in the same work area. The advantages of co-locating these units will be realized through; fostering a team building environment, unity, and encouraging/providing better access for information sharing between the various team members. It also allows for closer supervision of the Community Action Teams. Increased Supervision: • Current) the CAT operates under the direction of one sergeant responsible Y- p 9 p to two separate Divisions. Coinciding with the move, an increase in direct supervision will be enacted by increasing the staff allocation from one to two supervisors. The CAT teams will be divided into two groups (Pioneer and Liberty) and they will be responsible up through their respective chain of command beginning with those respective first line supervisor.. The additional supervisor will be achieved through redeployment of existing personnel. Having two supervisors: • provides closer supervision, direction and accountability for each team and individual • will enable the team to have a more manageable span of control • will facilitate more team building meetings such as line up, weekly project meetings, daily debriefs • provide for a more distinct chain of command (employees will have more immediate feedback of job performance as well as quarterly • merit reviews) Information Dissemination: The gathering, sharing and dissemination of information is critical for the success of the CAT process. To promote this information movement the CAT Database will be used on a daily basis. Each team member will be responsible to enter their own information relative to the cases and activities they are involved in each day. The benefits of entering information on the database are: • When team members enter the information on the system, it is automatically emailed to the Mayor's Office, City Council, Police supervisors, other Agencies, and constituents who are on the database. This gives instant updates to all parties of the current status, activities and plans to solving issues or problems in the various Council Districts. • Crime stats will be available to the City Council and the Mayor's Office simply by making a request through their respective CAT officer or sergeant. The CAT Sergeants will meet with the City Council staff and Mayor's staff personnel on a biweekly or as needed basis to provide updates, field questions and disseminate information. Deployment Strategy: The concept of CAT operations dictates a need for team member schedules to be flexible in meeting the needs of the community. The objective of the management will be to ensure a schedule commensurate with activities as much as possible. Furthermore, system redundancy (case overlap) will ensure that no case is dropped due to the unavailability of the assigned team member. The police department management will continually evaluate and update this plan to meet the needs of the community and constituents. Team Member Responsibilities: Each team member has a different role on the CAT team. Members are tasked with functioning as a cohesive team yet able to act independently in • • their own area of expertise. For each team to function effectively it is important for them to discuss, share, and co-ordinate information and assignments. It is imperative that all team members understand the importance of fostering and maintaining good working relationships with the different agencies, units and organizations they serve (i.e.; Mayors Office, City Council, Patrol Divisions, etc.) There is a clearly delineated chain of command within the police department for each team member to follow. Information, suggestions and recommendations that have fiscal, policy and/or management prerogative implications will be approved through the chain of command. This may include but is not limited to CEPTED reviews, special projects/event requests or anything that may affect management prerogatives, formal or informal. Team member roles are more clearly defined by the job description attached. It is noteworthy that Community Mobilization Detectives are • sworn police officers assigned to the unit on a rotating basis (generally 18 months). Community Mobilization Specialists are civilian employees and are permanently assigned as CAT team members. Ensuring mission continuity, retaining inherent job skills and knowledge and serving to train newly assigned personnel dictate the need to maintain these positions indefinitely. , COMMUNITY MOBILIZATION DETECTIVE • TYPICAL DUTIES: Under the general direction of the Sergeant, develops crime prevention and safety programs, to include Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) Reviews.

Anderson, Mayor Date: 6/1o/zoo3 Re: Alternative budget adjustments to balance FY2oo4 On May 6, I submitted a recommended balanced budget to the City • Council. That budget reflected many hours of grueling debate about continued delivery of the high quality of services our citizens enjoy and have come to expect. It reflected input of our Department Directors. It also reflected the input of union leaders. The City Council has straw-polled suggested changes and has offered me the opportunity to debate those changes and suggest alternatives. I appreciate this opportunity and thank you for the cooperative spirit in which it was offered. In that same spirit of cooperation, I hope you will consider seriously my recommendations below. Notwithstanding the adjustment recommendations I offer herein, I maintain that the residents and businesses of Salt Lake City would be best served by the adoption of my original recommended budget. Nevertheless, if changes must be made, I would support the following alternatives: 451 SOUTH STATE STREET,ROOM 306,SALT LAKE CITY,UTAH 84111 TELEPHONE:801-535-7704 FAX:801-535-6331 June io, zoo3 I.) Remove from CIP the $700,00o for Olympic Legacy projects and • apply that money toward FYzoo4 CIP projects. It is critical that we successfully prioritize the City's true CIP needs. When I see sidewalks that are almost impassable, I cannot resist comparing the need for basic repairs with the desire by some to spend sioo,000 on a neighborhood "Child of Light" sculpture. Spending this kind of money on projects that are not part of the twenty-year inventory of need contradicts the Council's own policy. If these projects were of city-wide benefit, they would be more defensible. However, under present circumstances, I implore you to spend this money on projects that are essential to the maintenance of the City's infrastructure. a.) Temporarily reduce the 9% CIP amount by .18%io. or $27o,817. This would allow us to progress through these tough economic times without reducing service levels. If revenue improves throughout the year, those additional funds could be used to replace this percentage elimination. 3.) Utilize $278,5oo currently allocated to the Non-Departmental Contingency Account. This amount can be used to help balance the budget, and fund balance can be used to cover future unforeseen needs. • 4.) The Public Services Department can offer additions to its estimated savings in the areas of fleet maintenance, fuel, and road salt, totaling $96,000. Based on the most recent data, billings for fleet maintenance and fuel next year may be lower than originally calculated during the preparation of the Mayor's Recommended Budget. Due to ongoing improvements in fleet replacement practices, and usage, it appears we will save a larger amount than originally projected. Furthermore, we are anticipating that the current weather pattern will continue and we will experience savings from reduced fleet maintenance needs related to snow removal. If these savings do not materialize, we will need to approach the City Council for additional budget funds during the coming year or delay spending in other areas in the Public Services Department. 5.) Do not eliminate any additional staff. Over the last three fiscal years 40.0o FTEs have been eliminated from the General Fund. These 2 June io, zoo3 • eliminations for the most part did not reduce services, but moved the responsibility to other employees. While this approach can foster more efficient delivery of services, the Council should be aware that in cases where service levels must be maintained and services were already being delivered efficiently, staff reductions place tremendous burdens on the remaining employees and often lead to serious morale problems, as well as a reduced level of services. Many of the City's hardest working employees already commit long hours and numerous evenings to their City jobs. It is frequently these employees who are asked to assume the duties of eliminated positions without any additional pay, benefits, or opportunities for advancement. This added burden further exacerbates their difficult schedules, reduces their ability to accomplish their core functions, and damages morale throughout the division or section from which the position was eliminated. As illustrated in the table below, force reductions in recent years . have been significant. With 4o FTEs removed from various departments, remaining employees must now absorb the work that was accomplished in the 83,2oo work hours that have been lost in order to maintain our FY zoos service levels.

Restore the $219,000 of tax revenue deducted from the Mayor's recommended budget. The tax revenue estimates were carefully calculated by the City's economist. The winter season ended with relatively low valley snowfall and the demands for road salt were very low, generating additional savings in the salt budget. The end-of-the- season salt inventory is larger than we usually have on hand and will allow us to enter the coming year with significantly lower salt purchases. This will permit a budget reduction for next fiscal year. 7.) Do not reduce the Equal Employment Opportunity Manager position. Eliminating this position would deliver a serious blow to our efforts to diversify our work force. Salt Lake City's residents benefit tremendously from a diverse, representative Salt Lake City workforce. Having employees who represent all geographic, racial, cultural, and demographic segments of our community better enables the City to serve the needs of all residents. Our efforts to diversify our workforce must continue if we are to serve all of the City's residents well. Furthermore, Salt Lake City is legally required to have an EEO Officer, develop and publish an annual affirmative action plan, train • 5 June io, zoo3 employees on EEO laws, and promptly and objectively investigateII internal and external claims of discrimination. The City has tried in the past to combine the EEO function with others, such as training and labor relations. This resulted in delays or gaps in affirmative action plans, long delays in investigations, and significant burdens on all other Human Resources staff. In the last year the City reduced the labor relations function to one individual in order to dedicate one of the staff to EEO responsibilities. The potential cost to the City if this function is not carried out properly is obvious: one successful discrimination claim could cost the City hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars. Salt Lake County, for example, has paid over a million dollars in claims in the past few years. We must maintain this full-time position. 8.) Do not cut the Organizational Development and Training Manager. The Organizational Development and Training Manager supervises the City-wide training program, managing a trainer and overseeing sixty to one hundred training sessions per year. The training staff is far smaller than would be expected for an organization this size. This position also manages the implementation of the new IIII performance appraisal program, a work in progress that represents a major structural change in an organization where performance appraisals have, unfortunately, been inconsistent or lacking. A competitive process resulted in the selection of Performance Impact, the current industry leader in performance management and appraisal systems. This system is primarily managed on-line but can also be used with a paper form. Using the City's balanced scorecard business plan as a guide, employees and supervisors set goals and identify job competencies. The City has invested considerable money and time into the new system. Making the system work will require extensive training and coordination, including acknowledging and addressing the kind of resistance expected when such a major change is implemented. There is simply too much work for one person. Human Resources staff will be called in to help train, but the HR staff is stretched thin, since Human Resources lost a briefly vacant HR Associate position in 6 • June io, zoo3 • the administration's proposed budget. To imagine that this manager can also manage the City's Equal Employment Opportunity work stretches credulity. Much of the actual burden for EEO duties, at least until the incumbent receives additional training in EEO, would fall on the Human Resources Director, who is already stretched beyond what could reasonably be expected. Additionally, the City Council recently sponsored an audit of Human Resources, conducted by Deloitte and Touche. This audit did not conclude that Human Resource Management was in any way overstaffed. In fact, the auditors repeatedly indicated to Human Resources staff that the staff size was smaller than would be expected in an organization of this size. Subsequently, the staff was cut by still one more position, when a professional staff member resigned and the administration cut the position. This was a substantial cut in the Human Resource budget, and removed the one staff member who could provide back-up support and research to the rest of the professional team, including EEO research. • 9.) Do not eliminate the dedicated Capital Improvement Coordinator. In addition to being extremely valuable to me in promoting and implementing the City's commitment to making CIP improvements on our west side and throughout the entire city, this cut could not be made without reducing service levels to the public and to city decision makers. Capital improvement planning, budgeting and management is a detailed task that includes working with numerous employee groups to gather CIP information, working with numerous people and organizations in the community, coordinating the CIP Board's deliberations, working with the administration and the Council, and preparing plan documents. During the next fiscal year we will also be completing a comprehensive inventory of needs and preparing a five-year funding plan. To accomplish these functions, as well as the day-to-day monitoring and accounting of the existing capital improvement program, we need a dedicated staff person. If this function were assigned to existing Community and Economic Development staff, either current • 7 June to, zoo3 CED functions or the CIP planning process would suffer severely for • lack of adequate attention. io.) Do not cut the Deputy Director of Business Services and Licensing. This position is responsible for the following duties of the division: • preparation of budget and allocation of resources; • liaison to IMS on maintenance and development of all programs; • oversight of building inspectors, including one supervisor and eleven inspectors • oversight of the Permit Counter (planners, plans examiners and permit processors), which includes one supervisor, nine employees, and one temporary employee who scans documents; • oversight of Business Licensing, which includes one supervisor and six employees; • provision of technical back-up on codes and standards to the permits counter; • oversight of the division's capital budget; and • serving as Acting director in Director's absence. • In 1997, Harrington Consulting of Davis, California conducted a management audit of Building Services and Licensing. Two major sections of the report dealt with organizational structure and staffing and operational improvements. The delegation of supervisory responsibilities by the director was one of the issues noted, along with the recommendation of a "trained administrative assistant or similar position to assist the Division on budget preparation and administration." The recommendation regarding the administrative assistant position was never acted upon. The Director of Building Services and Licensing has tried to delegate as much responsibility as he can but the Deputy Director and the supervisors have a tremendous workload, which includes helping out with inspections or working at the public service counters. This is compounded by vacation or sick leave use. 8 • June io, zoo3 • The loss of the Deputy Director's position would have a far- reaching result because the Director and supervisors would have to assume the additional workload. We have already lost the positions of an inspector and unit legalization planner this year and we could expect to see increased complaints because of the length of time for plan review and delay of requested inspections would increase. Both the Director and Deputy Director are called upon to assist or help expedite special projects or requests from the administration. A significant decrease in customer service will be the result if the Deputy Director position is eliminated. II.) Do not cut the career ladder adjustment in the City Prosecutor's Office. The City Prosecutor's Office has a career ladder, which allows prosecutors to pursue career development in their positions. The career ladder is part of the City's classification and compensation system. Like the dozens of other career ladders in the City, the prosecutor's career ladder was the result of thorough research and analysis to determine the appropriate job classification. In this case, Coopers and Lybrand provided the City Council with an independent analysis in their management review of the City Prosecutor's Office in 1996. The City conducted further study and finally implemented the career ladder in 1999. A major factor in developing the career ladder was the high turnover rate among the City Prosecutors, resulting in lost productivity and high training costs. This particular career ladder is being singled out among others in the City, in spite of the fact that it may be the most studied and analyzed—and the most successful—advancement program in the City. Clear criteria for advancement are included, and advancement is not automatic, but is subject to management approval and available funds. Conclusion The combined impact of the changes I have outlined in paragraphs 1-4 totals much more than the $864,317 needed by the City Council to balance the budget without making the devastating staffing cuts that have been proposed. The residents of Salt Lake City have come to expect high levels of service from well-trained, courteous, and professional City employees. Although the temptation to cut positions is undoubtedly • 9 June io, 2°03 strong, I assure you that the cuts proposed will result in significant w reductions in the City's ability to function efficiently. I have proposed, and I hope you will accept, several sources of revenue that will enable us to balance this year's budget without implementing these harmful staffing cuts, which would reduce service levels and impose an even higher burden on the remaining employees who must assume additional duties to cover the workload of the eliminated positions. Finally, if any of the Council's proposed cuts relate to perceived performance problems with the person holding a particular position, I hope you will work with me to resolve those issues through the appropriate personnel channels, rather that cutting the position entirely. We have repeatedly seen both the temptation and the pitfalls of addressing personnel matters through organizational changes. While this approach to personnel matters may seem cleaner and may offer the added benefit of saving money in the short run, it is short-sighted to eliminate or relocate an FTE just because of factors that relate to the person holding that position. Also, it does not account for the loss of a full time employee to complete tasks that are critical to the City's operations. Any proposal to eliminate a position simply because of rumor or innuendo • concerning particular employees might very well constitute a denial of due process and an unlawful end-run around our well-established merit employee disciplinary/termination process. Thank you for the opportunity to offer my views and some alternatives to the proposed changes. I am happy to discuss the ideas presented here with any and all members of the City Council. Please do not hesitate to contact me. 10 • POTENTIAL REVENUE ISSUES Total Total MRB Anticipated Revenue $ 164,485,893 A Use of fund balance to meet on-going expenditures(Council supported$2 million appropriation,Mayor's Recommended Budget is $ 3,002,544 $ (1,002,544) reduced by approximately$1 million) B Conservative Revenue Projections $ 219,000 $ (219,000) C Anticipated delinquent fine and forfeiture collections(Council supported recognizing revenue) $ 500,000 D One-time cuts in Police Department to meet on-going expenditures(Council supported recognizing revenue) $ 326,000 E One-time cuts in Prosecutor's Office to meet on-going expenditures(Council supported recognizing revenue) $ 42,350 F Fund Neighborhood Matching Grant Program with on-going revenue(Council supported Mayor's Recommended Budget) $ 250,000 G Telecom fee(Council opposed appropriating revenue) $ 326,675 $ (326,675) Total Council Anticipated Revenue $ 162,937,674 OPTIONAL BUDGET REDUCTIONS Total Total MRB Expenditures $ 164,485,893 Proposed Additional FTE IMS 1 Eliminate proposed IMS network technician FTE $ 75,936 $ (75,936) 2 Eliminate proposed IMS web programmer $ 75,936 $ (75,936) Proposed Additional FTE Attorney's Office 3 Eliminate proposed paralegal position in Prosecutor's Office(Council supported Mayor's recommendation) $ 52,500 4 Eliminate proposed paralegal position in City Attomey's Office(Council supported Mayor's recommendation) $ 52,500 Proposed Existing FTE Redaction in Management Services 5 Consolidate Cl?Administration with Finance/Engineering(1 FTE Layoff($32,000 to Housing and Neighborhood Development $ 31,468 $ (31,468) Division) 6 Transfer EmergunryMat tfmdioninDept.ofManagementServicetoPoliceandFire(°FTElayoffjTotalbudget $ 45,000 $105,000;entetpiise fmds paW for$64000:(Coimcil to discuss) 7 Consolidate EEC)function with existing BR positions(1 FTE Layoff) $ 78,115 8 Transfer Organizational Development function in HR to Policy Analysts(1 FIB Layoff) $ 78,768 or 8a Consolidate EEO and Organizational Development function in HR(1 FTE) $ 78,115 $ (78,115) Proposed Existing FTE Reduction in Police 9 Investigate collaborative opportunities to reduce Crime Lab staffing(1 FTE Layoff)or include this item as a legislative intent. $ 35,500 (Council staff withdraws recommendation) 10 Eliminate duplication inConannoitylvhiliffization Program in Police Department(1.19..b layoff is$52,000,?FTE layoffs is. $ 208,000 $104,000)(Couocilto dien.cs) .. - Proposed Existing FTE Reduction in CED 11 Consolidate inspection services in City(1 FIE Layoff) $ 87,000 $ (87,000) 12 Transfer Traffic Calming position to CIP $ 49,815 Proposed Existing FTE Reduction in Public Services 13 Transfer e couttlinationrimcticata existing PUblic SerYiee employees(1 tb Layoff)(Council to discuss) $ 68,928 Proposed Other Reductions Reduce Bus Pass Expenditure to reflect actual anticipated amount $ 30,000 $ 0,000) Eliminate career ladder program in Prosecutor's Office • $ 18,482 $ 8,482) Potential Policy Shifts Early Retirement Program Eir a conarlyRetditi ementons of this program will include limitations on rehiring or come with retirees b. 90 Day participation period 16 c.Management discretion in timing of employee departure $ 500,000 d. $ per month for toward health insurance,or option of$ lump sum deposited to 401 or 457,or cash payment of $ (subject to taxation) (Total yearly savings is anticipated to be$1,140,000,timing of departure will affect savings amount.Investment of one-time funds is required.)(Consider Legislative Intent to establish program by September) Transfer retirement payout liability(with one-time funds)to a separate retirement liability account and pay out anticipated 17 retirement expenses from that account;eliminate ongoing expenditure $ 650,000 $ (650,000) Personal Leave Program Changes(Consider Legislative Intent to request review) 18 Eliminate personal leave payout at reduced rate $ 210,200 19 Restructure accumulated sick leave/personal leave benefit plans and"freeze"the cash value of accumulated sick leave to eliminate future additional expenses.Refer this item to the Compensation committee for further review.

While the bankrolling by Bruce Bastian and Kem Gardner isn't illegal, it does circumvent the intent of the city's campaign finance reform ordinance that then-Councilwoman Deeda Seed pushed through City Hall five years ago. Besides foiling Seed's intent,the millionaire money has rolled in despite the campaign finance reform views Anderson championed when he made his first mayoral run in 1999. "We should have at least a limit of$1,00o per individual (donor), that's plenty,"Anderson • told the Deseret News in 1999. "Right now a husband, a wife, even each of the children can each give $7,500. That's really no limit at all." Five years ago, Seed, who later became Anderson's chief of staff, was bent on making it hard for big money and special interests to sway the municipal electorate by bankrolling candidates. The law she helped pass states that "no person" can make contributions to a single campaign exceeding $7,500. But there are holes in the law allowing for "bundling," so a husband and wife can give $7,500 each or an individual and his or her multitude of companies can give $7,500 each, making one person's influence many times greater than $7,500. "We created something that's very imperfect, and we're seeing that in the current mayoral race," Seed acknowledged in an interview this week. "We talked about how to get at the issue of bundling, which is basically what's happening, and there really isn't a way to do it that's legal. . . . I was surprised that Rocky's been doing better at fund raising, and clearly it's because of these larger contributions." Seed had hoped to open up the mayor's race to the Average Joe, not just those with political connections to high rollers. In the mayoral election of 1999, she felt the law was working. If not for the law, mayoral candidates "could have found one or two sugar daddies out there to give them $50,000 or $60,000.At least with the limit they had to diversify their support base," Seed said then. Anderson acknowledges he has used the law's deficiencies to gain donations. http://deseretnews.com/do/print/1,1442,505038930,00.html 6/10/2003 I deseretnews.com Page 2 of 3 "Everyone knew, I think, when they passed those limits, that individuals, their spouses and 0 their businesses could all contribute $7,500 each,"Anderson said Sunday. "Anyone who contributes to my campaign knows that I am not going to be any more likely to support their position." The mayor has acquired contributions from Gardner's brothers, daughters and sons and from various companies owned by Bastian. The two multimillionaires, largely representing two special interests —The Gateway development and gay and lesbian issues — have been able to funnel at least $42,000 into Anderson's accounts.And there are still six months before November's municipal election. For perspective, the two contributors have given roughly as much to Anderson's campaign as first-time candidate Molonai Hola has in his entire war chest and, using various business enterprises and personal accounts, have accounted for about 15 percent of Anderson's total contributions. A Deseret News review found that Bastian, who supports gay and lesbian causes in Utah and nationally, has been the largest single contributor to the mayor's re-election bid. Using his own name and his companies BWB Properties and Diaural LLC, an Ogden stereo company he co-founded, Bastian has contributed $22,500, tripling the $7,500 limit. Bastian makes no apologies for the large contributions and seems ready to give more but says he probably can't. 410 "I don't think I can donate any more," he said. "I don't want to do anything illegal." In the case of Diaural's contribution, Bastian noted, the decision wasn't totally his, since he owns only half the company. "I believe (Anderson) has the courage to do what he thinks is right," Bastian said. "He's not afraid to take a stand and he's not a puppet to the Mormon Church." Another multimillionaire, Gardner, has similarly been working hard supplying cash to Anderson's coffers. Using five separate company names —The Boyer Co., Boyer Ambassador, Boyer Block 57 Associated, Gateway Associates and 420 East Partnership — Boyer Co. holdings have given thousands to the campaign to re-elect Anderson. Moreover, Gardner, along with his wife and members of his family— including two brothers living in Davis County, a daughter and a son — have also contributed thousands. The amount given by one of Gardner's companies or the Gardner family totals $20,000. Like Bastian, Gardner makes no apologies. His family has a significant monetary interest —by way of The Gateway— in how Salt Lake City is governed. Were donating because Rocky is the only one right now to show leadership in keeping • Nordstrom in the city," Gardner said. "He's not letting Meier&Frank dictate if(Nordstrom) will stay." http://deseretnews.com/dn/print/1,1442,505038930,00.html 6/10/2003 1 deseretnews.com Page 3 of 3 Nordstrom has said it will leave Crossroads Plaza when its lease expires in 2005 and will leave • Salt Lake City altogether if it can't relocate to The Gateway. "It's pretty obvious why we're contributing. Our family has a very important financial interest in Salt Lake and it's important for us to continue to see the city grow and prosper, and I think that's best under Rocky." Of the $20,000 the Gardners and Boyer have donated to date, $7,500 of that came before Anderson's reversal of his Nordstrom position, while roughly $12,50o came afterward. Earlier this year Anderson chose to change his view on Nordstrom and now wants to allow the store to move off Main Street to The Gateway There was a time when Anderson decried big money from big developers like Boyer. Once while sparring with his 1999 mayoral opponent Stuart Reid,Anderson lambasted Reid for taking money from contractors.At the time,Anderson said the developer contributions "points out how corrupt the campaign finance system is in this town, where one group in one segment of our society contributes a disproportionate amount to any one candidate's campaign. "These businessmen are clearly trying to buy their way into the mayor's office, and if(Reid wins) they will reap huge returns, unfortunately at the expense of regular citizens, on their investment." Anderson said his development money now, is different than that of Reid, who he claimed was • beholden to developers back in 1999.Anderson said he has a more diversified support base, making him less dependent on any one group for support. Seed said that Anderson's millionaire money— much from a development company that is actively soliciting Nordstrom's support from city leaders — continues the trend of special interests unduly influencing local politics. "Everyone's taking money from these people (special interest groups) who you can bet are clearly going to come back and say, 'We want this,' " she said. "Maybe they think they're buying access, that's what it's coming down to. You certainly get a listening ear for that money. Whether you get what you want is a different story."
