AGENDA ITEMS
#1. SOME COUNCIL MEMBERS WILL MEET WITH MEMBERS OF THE ADMINISTRATION AND
REPRESENTATIVES OF TELECOMMUNICATIONS COMPANIES REGARDING THE PROPOSED
TELECOMMUNICATIONS RIGHT-OF-WAY ORDINANCE. View Attachment
Councilmember Christensen asked Chris Bramhall to identify issues which needed to be
addressed. Mr. Bramhall said some industry concerns were definitional in nature and
could be resolved with clarifications. He said the City would not compromise on
fundamental issues relating to the City's ability to receive compensation for use of
City property.
Mr. Bramhall said the ordinance changed the way fees would be calculated. He said the
change involved moving from a fair market appraisal value to a lineal foot value. He
said there could be legal challenges regarding the City's right to compensation. He
said he felt the majority of the concerns could be resolved by discussing the proposal
with industry representatives.
The following telecommunication representatives submitted written comments or spoke
concerning the proposal: Jerry Oldroyd, Ballard, Spahr, Andrews, Ingersoll, Jeff Fox,
Utah Consumers Network, Jerry Finn, Questar InfoComm, and Bill Uber, Questar InfoComm.
Comments included long haul carriers, franchises, access to public right-of-way, local
service, economic development, permit fees, methods and difficulty of calculating fees,
discouraging development, telecommunication task force, municipalities using right-of-
way to raise general revenues, right-of-way available on cost-based fees, state
policies, economic disincentives, vague/ambiguous ordinance, and recovering management

costs.
Councilmember Saxton asked if the City currently taxed communication lines. Mr.
Bramhall said yes. Councilmember Saxton asked how the proposed charges were different.
Mr. Bramhall said the difference was in the way fees were calculated. Mr. Finn said
franchise taxes were a separate issue. He said telecommunication providers wanted to
be charged for actual costs incurred by the City. Mr. Bramhall said there were two
types of companies. He said the first category provided standard telephone service
and paid a franchise fee. He said the second category were companies which by
definition did not provide telephone service within the City. He said the City was
obligated to collect revenue when it made property available to the private sector.
He said telecommunication providers believed State statues prohibited the City from
charging anything in excess of management costs. He said the City believed that view
was unconstitutional under the Utah Constitution.
Councilmember Saxton asked how many companies would share the estimated $350, 000 cost
increase. Mr. Bramhall said approximately 15. Mr. Oldroyd said actual costs were
unknown but he believed they would be much higher than $350,000. Mr. Uber said his
calculations indicated Questar InfoComm's costs would increase up to 30 times. Mr.
Bramhall said Questar InfoComm no longer qualified for a franchise and would be moving
to a lease.
Councilmember Christensen asked how charges were determined when several companies
used the same conduit. Mr. Bramhall said only the original lease holder was charged.
Councilmember Christensen asked if subleases would be charged under the new proposal.
Mr. Bramhall said they would be charged a 5% component but the projected revenue was
based on a 2% lineal charge.
Councilmember Love said other cities charged by the lineal foot and asked how
telecommunication vendors dealt with that. Mr. Oldroyd said Portland had been in
litigation for a number of years.
Councilmember Buhler asked how much the City received in annual revenue. Mr. Fawcett
said $150, 000. Councilmember Jergensen asked if the City was going to try to resolve
this issue before the Council voted on the budget. Ms. Gust-Jenson said the issue was
scheduled for a future briefing. Mr. Fluhart said the Administration planned to work
with the industry representatives prior to the budget adoption.
Linda Cordova said three types of telecommunication agreements were managed by her
office. She said the proposal would only affect the point-to-point carriers. She
said she felt more cities would go to the lineal foot charge because it was easier to
manage. Councilmember Jergensen asked what the policy purpose was for the proposal.
Ms. Cordova said she felt the City would be consistent with other cities nationwide
and have the ability to manage agreements more efficiently.
Councilmember Christensen asked the Administration to work with industry
representatives and inform the Council as soon as possible. He said the Council would
be available to discuss policy issues with the Administration concerning this issue.

Mr. Wright said he was involved in construction for 54 years and served as the
project administrator when the City and County Building was remodeled. He said he
felt this would be a good opportunity and looked forward to serving the community.
Councilmember Christensen asked about the condition of the building. Mr. Wright said
a lot of effort had gone into the building and he felt it was holding up well.
Councilmember Buhler asked about preserving the sandstone. Mr. Wright said a
treatment was applied when the building was restored. He said sandstone needed to be
laid with the grain running horizontally. He said some stone in the City and County
Building was laid vertically which allowed moisture to collect and cause flaking. He
said nothing could be done and the stone would continue to deteriorate.

Russell Weeks, Michael Sears, Rocky Fluhart, Jerry Burton, Susan Roberts, and Nancy
Tessman briefed the Council with the attached handouts. Ms. Tessman said due to budget
uncertainties the Library wanted to add $112,000 to contingency. She said if revenues
came in high enough, contingency funds could be used to replace reductions made to the
material fund. She said the Sprague and Day-Riverside branches would remain open on
Sunday.
Councilmember Buhler asked about raises for Library employees. Ms. Tessman said
employees would not receive merit increases, only a 2% cost-of-living increase.
Councilmember Turner asked about construction on the east side of the Library block.
Ms. Tessman said construction was scheduled to be completed in September 2003. Council
Members were in favor of the budget proposal.
The Council discussed adjustments to the proposed budget and made the following
decisions. Potential Revenue Issues: 1) use of fund balance to meet on-going
expenditures-$968, 642, 2) conservative revenue projections-$219,000, and 3) telecom
fee-$326, 675. Total revenue anticipated by Administration: $164,485, 893. Total
revenue anticipated by Council: $162, 971,576. Council Members wanted an additional

Re: Proposed Salt Lake City Ordinance 14.32.425
Telecommunications Right-of-Way Permits
Dear Mayor Anderson, City Council Members and City Attorneys:
This firm represents Questar InfoComm("QIC") an affiliate of Questar Corporation
offering a wide range of telecommunications services. I have been asked by QIC to express its
concerns with proposed Salt Lake City Ordinance 14.32.425, Telecommunications Right of Way
Permits(the"Proposed Ordinance").
QIC does not believe its operations fall squarely within the Proposed Ordinance's
definition of a"Local Network Operator," since it does not transmit telecommunications signals
solely and exclusively for internal purposes. However, this is the designation in the Proposed
Ordinance that would come closest to what services QIC provides. QIC, moreover, does not
believe that the Proposed Ordinance, if adopted, would apply to it, since it is QIC's understanding
that this ordinance is only applicable to entities which do not provide telecommunications services
to customers within the City and who are not subject to City franchise taxes. QIC believes it
meets the exemptions from the Proposed Ordinance. Nevertheless, QIC is gravely concerned
about the potential impact of the Proposed Ordinance as set forth below.
QIC believes the Proposed Ordinance, if adopted, would create disincentives for
• deployment of telecommunications facilities and would have a negative impact on economic

development. The Proposed Ordinance is overly broad and ambiguous such that there are issues
raised as to its scope and impact. Moreover, the Proposed Ordinance violates federal and state
law. Under state law, municipalities are prohibited from recovering more than their actual costs
incurred in managing the rights-of-ways. This ordinance also likely would be found to be pre-
empted by the FCC as a violation of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 (the"1996 Act"). By
its nature, this ordinance in reality constitutes a new tax which has not been authorized by the
Legislature and the City may be prohibited from enforcement thereof. Finally, the Proposed
Ordinance would be poor public policy and is inconsistent with State policy to promote the
deployment of advanced telecommunications facilities. QIC respectfully requests that the City
Council reject this Proposed Ordinance in its entirety.
The Nature of the Ordinance
The Proposed Ordinance identifies two types of entities from which the City proposes to
obtain fees for the use of City rights-of-ways: (1)"Point-to-Point Telecommunications
Operators" defined as entities who use the rights-of-ways for the primary purpose of transmitting
telecommunications signals through the City, and not for the primary purpose of providing
telecommunications services to customers within the City; and (2)"Local Network Operators"
defined as entities who have the sole and exclusive purpose of transmitting signals for internal,
private uses at multiple locations within the City.
Both Point-to-Point Telecommunications Operators and Local Network Operators are
assessed annual fees under the Proposed Ordinance to utilize the City rights-of-ways,which are
grossly disproportionate to the costs incurred by the City in allowing their rights-of-ways to be
accessed and to the actual use of the right-of-way. It should be noted, that this ordinance is an
extreme deviation from the norm in Utah. No other municipality charges telecommunications
providers an annual fee anywhere near the magnitude of the fees proposed in this ordinance
Fees Imposed on Local Network Operators
The Proposed Ordinance imposes an annual fee on a Local Network Operator based on
the"fair rental value" of the portion of the City's rights of way occupied by the Local Network
Operator. It is described as being the greater of the"Minimum Annual Local Network Fee,"or an
amount calculated as follows:
(i) the City shall identify and establish the fair market value of property
adjacent to the portion of the [right of way] occupied by the Local Network
Operator;
The Honorable Ross C. Anderson
• Salt Lake City Council
Salt Lake City Attorney
June 5, 2003
Page 3
(ii) such fair market value shall be multiplied by the area of the [right of way]
so occupied, based upon a corridor of not less than three(3)feet in width, as
calculated by the City;
(iii) such fair market value shall then be multiplied by 33-1/3%; and
(iv) such value shall then be multiplied by 9%, representing the capitalization
rate.
It is unclear how the City proposes to make the calculations set forth under this proposal.
Property values vary over the course of the right-of-way occupied. Each segment of the right-of-
way can have a different value. There may be extraordinary variations in property values over the
entire distance of the right-of-way occupied by the Local Network Operator's facilities. Some
short routes could have incredibly high values if they were located in the heart of the city. This
valuation method is quite vague and ill-defined. Valuations could result in extremely high fees
being assessed. Given the flaws in the methodology set forth in the Proposed Ordinance, QIC is
unable to fully assess the financial impact on the Company if these fees were adopted.
•
The Proposed Ordinance Constitutes a New Tax Rather than a Fee
QIC believes that this proposed right-of-way fee structure is in the nature of a tax increase
rather than a fee increase. The power of a municipality to tax is narrowly circumscribed and must
be granted by the Legislature. It is clear black letter law that the power of a municipality to tax
is derived solely from legislative enactment, and a municipality has only such authority as is
expressly conferred or necessarily implied by state statute. The Utah Legislature has not
expressly authorized municipalities to raise taxes by rights-of-way fees and, as set forth below, has
in fact, expressed a clear directive to the contrary.
The Utah Supreme Court has clearly held that unless a fee bears a reasonable relationship
to the cost of regulating the business, it will be considered a tax. In Weber Basin Home Builders
v. Roy City, 287 P.2d 866 (1971), the Utah Supreme Court struck a city ordinance raising
building fee permits from $12 to $112. The increase in cost was not to defray costs associated
with providing a building permit but was paid into the general fund. The Court noted there was a
difference between the authority to charge a fee for the granting of a permit and the authority to
impose a tax. If the money collected for the permit was used to service and regulate the activity
for which the permit was granted, it was regarded as a permit fee. If, on the other hand, the
relationship between the fee and the activity regulated is minimal and the money collected is
mainly for raising revenue for general purposes, it is a tax. The city had no power to impose a tax
without express authorization from the legislature.

If money collected from a license fee is used primarily to regulate and police the business
or activity, then the fee is appropriately considered a license fee. Here, however, the rights-of-
way fees bear little relationship to the costs incurred by the City in administering rights-of-ways or
overseeing the businesses using the rights-of-way. Instead, this fee is primarily for raising revenue
for general municipal purposes. Hence, it is properly regarded as a tax. Accordingly, it can only
be imposed if authorized by the Legislature. The Legislature has not authorized such a tax.
State Law Clearly Provides that Rights-of-Way Fees Should be Cost Based
The Protection of Highways Act of Title 72, Chapter 7 of the Utah Code, governs the
compensation that a municipality can receive for allowing access to highway rights-of-ways by
telecommunications providers. The Utah Legislature has narrowly limited the fees a municipality
may collect on telecommunications providers for use of rights-of-ways to "management costs."
This act states: "A highway authority may recover from a utility service provider, only those
management costs caused by the utility service provider's activities in the right-of-way of a
highway under the jurisdiction of the highway authority." Section 72-7-102(4)(b) Utah Code
Ann. (2002). 1 "Management costs" are defined as"the reasonable, direct, and actual costs a •
A municipality is clearly a"highway authority" as defined in the Act. "Highway
Authority" means the [Utah Department of Transportation] or the legislative, executive, or
governing body of a county of municipality." Section 72-1-102(8)Utah Code Ann. (2002).
Moreover, QIC is a"utility services provider". While this phrase is not defined in the Utah Code,
the terms"utility" and"utility company" are. "Utility" includes telecommunication, gas,
electricity, cable television, water, sewer, data, and video transmission lines, drainage and
irrigation systems, and other similar utilities located in, on, along, across, over, through, or under
any state highway. "Utility company" means a privately, cooperatively, or publicly owned utility,
including utilities owned by political subdivisions. Section 72-6-116(1)(b) and c)Utah Code
Ann. (2002). Moreover, the phrase"utility service provider" is analogous to
"telecommunications provider" defined in the Municipal Telecommunications License Tax Act
enacted by the 2003 Legislature. A"telecommunications provider" is defined therein as any
entity that owns, controls, manages or operates a telecommunications service whether or not
regulated by the Public Service Commission. Section 10-1-402(9)Utah Code Ann. (2003).
QIC is a telecommunications provider and there is no question that the prohibition on
municipalities charging more than management costs contained in the Protection of Highways
Acts applies to QIC. A telecommunications provider using the public rights-of-ways to deliver
telecommunications services is providing a utility service and is a"utility service provider."

highway authority incurs in exercising authority over the highways under its jurisdiction." Section
72-7-102(1)Utah Code Ann. (2002). Here, the proposed fees to be charged to rights-of-way
users bear absolutely no relation to the actual costs of managing the rights-of-way. Instead, they
are in the nature of a tax. Thus, the Utah Legislature has clearly proscribed a municipality from
charging the types of right-of-way fees proposed in the ordinance.
Further, Section 72-7-102(4)(c)(ii) states that if the highway authority's management
costs cannot be attributed to only one entity, the management costs"shall be allocated among all
privately owned and government agencies using the highway right-of-way for utility service
purposes, including the highway authority itself" The allocation must"reflect proportionately the
management costs incurred by the highway authority as a result of the various utility uses of the
highway." Id. In addition, a highway authority is prohibited from assessing a fee for use of the
right of way"as a basis for generating revenue for the highway authority that is in addition to its
management costs." Section 72-7-102(4)(d)Utah Code Ann. (2002).
The Proposed Ordinance allows for multiple fees for use of the same right-of-way by more
• than one Point-to-Point or Local Network Operator, rather than apportioning the fees. The
Proposed Ordinance indicates that for any person using the right-of-way, whether they own the
conduit and cable, lease the fiber or merely have the right to use one fiber in the cable in the
conduit, each is considered an operator for purposes of the Proposed Ordinance and each would
be required to pay the same fees to the City. A fee not apportioned among the number of users
of the same facilities is disproportionate and is excessive. This is clearly disallowed by the
Protection of Highways Act.
In the legislative sessions in 2000 and 2003, the Utah Legislature reaffirmed the principle
that governmental entities should only be able to recover actual management costs from rights-of-
way users. In considering whether compensation should be allowed for access to interstate
highway rights-of-ways, the 2000 Legislature clearly stated that other than on the interstate,
highway authorities did not have the authority to charge compensation for rights-of-ways. 2
Most recently, in the 2003 session, the Legislature enacted the Municipal
Telecommunications License Tax Act. While some provisions of this Act do not go into effect
until July 1, 2004, the provisions dealing with rights-of-ways go into effect a year earlier. In
2 "Except for a right-of-way of a highway on the interstate system, nothing in this section
shall be construed to allow a highway authority to require compensation from a telecommuni-
cation facility provider for longitudinal access to the right-of-way of a highway under the highway
• authority's jurisdiction." Section 72-7-108(8)Utah Code Ann. (2002).

enacting the municipal telecommunications license tax, the Legislature imposed strict limits on
other taxes and fees that a municipality could enact. Specifically, the Legislature stated that a
municipality could only recover the"management costs of the municipality caused by the activities
of the telecommunications provider in the right-of-way." Section 10-1-406 Utah Code Ann.
(2003). Moreover, any such fee must be in accordance with Section 72-7-102 (discussed above)
and cannot be related to"a municipality's loss of use of a highway as a result of the activities of
the telecommunications provider in a right-of-way or increased deterioration of a highway as a
result of the activities of the telecommunications provider in the right-of-way." Section 10-1-
406(1(a)(i) and(ii) Utah Code Ann. (2003).
Given the Legislature's clear and repeated declarations that municipalities are limited to
the recovery of actual costs to manage the rights-of-ways and that they cannot charge
compensation therefor, this Proposed Ordinance is clearly inconsistent with State statutes.
The Proposed Ordinance Is Pre-empted by the Federal Telecommunications Act of 1996
In the 1996 Act, Congress attempted to eliminate barriers to entry into the
telecommunications market. In that regard, Congress eliminated state and local barriers which •
would prevent telecommunications companies from providing services. Section 253(a) of the
Act provides: "No State or local statute or regulation, or other State or local legal requirement,
may prohibit or have the effect of prohibiting the ability of any entity to provide any interstate or
intrastate telecommunications service." 47 U.S.C. §253(a). QIC believes that the Proposed
Ordinance has the effect of prohibiting the ability of telecommunications providers to provide
telecommunications services.
Section 253(a) has been interpreted to prohibit a municipal ordinance that assesses fees
that are not based on the municipality's costs or that allow the municipality to recover more than
its costs. City of Auburn v. Qwest, 260 F.3rd 1160, 1176 (9th Cir. 2001);New Jersey Payphone
Ass'n v. Town of West N.Y. 130 F. Supp. 2d 631, 638 (D.N.J. 2001). It should be noted that,
while the 1996 Act maintains the ability of local government to manage rights-of-ways, local
governments cannot go so far as to impose user fees to generate revenues in excess of
management costs, or fees that are based on the rental value of rights-of-ways. Bell Atlantic -
Maryland, Inc. v. Prince George's County, 49 F. Supp. 2d, 806, 818-11(D. Md. 1999). TCI
Cablevision of Oakland, Inc. 12, F.C.C.R 21396 (1997).
QIC believes the Proposed Ordinance would be subject to FCC preemption if enacted. It
clearly goes beyond permissible limits in managing rights-of-ways and imposes such excessive fees
as to have the effect of prohibiting the providing of telecommunications services.

It would be Poor Public Policy to Enact the Proposed Ordinance
Finally, QIC submits that seeking to alter the status quo system of cost-based permits for
access to highway rights-of-ways, by introducing the concept of unprecedented high user fees for
such access, runs counter to the State policy to make telecommunication facilities and services
widely available to all customers in the State at affordable prices. The imposition of such user
fees may increase rates to telephone subscribers. Furthermore, if the City adopts this Proposed
Ordinance, the domino effect if other governmental entities take a similar action, exacerbates the
impact on the telecommunications industry in this State. The interests of the citizens of the State
of Utah are served by affordable state-of-the-art telecommunications services. These interests
would be seriously impacted by allowing the imposition of non-cost based user fees for access to
rights-of-ways.
Moreover, enactment of this ordinance would be viewed as hostile to businesses. QIC
believes it will create a disincentive for high-tech businesses to locate within City boundaries and,
for those companies that are presently located within the City, will create an incentive for them to
• shift high-tech operations to other locales.
Rights-of-ways are owned by the citizens and should be utilized for the benefit of the
citizens. Thus, uses of rights-of-ways should be granted to multiple providers, including
telecommunications providers. The goal should be to optimally use public resources, including
rights-of-ways to improve infrastructure and the quality of life for citizens. The interests of the
State are served by an affordable state-of-the-art telecommunications system.
The impact of the Proposed Ordinance, if adopted, would seriously impact further
deployment of advanced telecommunications facilities in the City, since the cost to access rights-
of-ways will skyrocket. Such a result could create a disincentive to invest in network
improvements.
Conclusion
QIC strongly urges the City not to enact the Proposed Ordinance. The Proposed
Ordinance is overly broad and ambiguous. By its nature, this ordinance in reality constitutes a
new tax which has not been authorized by the Legislature and the City will likely be prohibited
from enforcement thereof. The Proposed Ordinance also violates state statutes that limit a
municipality to recovery of no more than management costs for access to rights-of-ways. It also
violates the federal 1996 Act that attempted to remove barriers to providing telecommunications
services and would likely be preempted by the FCC. Finally, the Proposed Ordinance would be
poor public policy and would create disincentives to deploy advanced telecommunications

facilities in the City.
QIC would like to participate in a process to analyze these issues and respectfully requests
a meeting with City Staff to discuss its concerns with the present draft of the Proposed Ordinance.
However, for the reasons set forth above, QIC respectfully requests that the City Council reject
this Proposed Ordinance in its present form.
Thank you for you consideration of this issue.

YOUTH STATE OF THE CITY REPORT
YOUTHCITY GOVERNMENT'S REPORT TO MAYOR ANDERSON, CITY
COUNCIL MEMBERS AND THE SALT LAKE CITY COMMUNITY
"COLLABORATION"
JUNE 5, zoo3
The Youth State of the City Report informs Mayor Anderson,
City Council members and others in the Salt Lake City community of
the objectives and activities of YouthCity Government (YCG).
YCG's focus this academic year was to provide a forum for youth
voices. Our main goal was to collaborate with other youth and community
organizations. Through collaboration, youth have a stronger voice in the
. political process.
To achieve this goal, YCG members focused: i) government policies
and procedures, 2) addressing youth issues through leadership training, and
3) collaborating with other youth organizations to identify fun activities for
youth in the city.
YOUTH ISSUES
On April 24, 20o2, the Salt Lake City Council requested YouthCity
Government (YCG) participants review and make recommendations to
the proposed Bike and Helmet Safety Ordinance. The proposed
ordinance favored establishing a helmet mandate for all bicycle users
under eighteen (18) years of age.
YCG members appreciated the opportunity given by the Council to
review the proposed ordinance. We met with a variety of city officials
and students to discuss an action plan. After months of discussion, a
majority of YCG members agreed that helmet safety education would be
40 more effective than mandating an ordinance. The majority of YCG
members agreed to the following recommendations:
1
• • Establish a citywide campaign to heighten the public's
awareness regarding the benefits of proper helmet use.
• Support and publicize access to free or low cost helmets.
• Adopt a "Share the Road" campaign.
• Increase funding to continue upgrading bicycle routes as
recommended in the zooz Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan.
On Wednesday, August 7, zooz,Candace Gibson, YCG member,
testified before the City Council on behalf of the Cesar Chavez
Boulevard Committee. Prior to Candace's testimony, YCG members
discussed the importance of teaching young people about the role of Cesar
Chavez in establishing the United Farm Workers Union. Members
committed to learning more and teaching others about this pivotal
historical figure. YCG members also celebrated the unveiling of Cesar
Chavez Boulevard with leaders of the Latino community.
YCG members and skaters of all ages and skill levels met with city
engineers, park maintenance staff, and the skate park designer to give
input on Salt Lake City second skate park at Fairmont Park. Skaters and
• YCG members lobbied Public Services and the designer for an advanced
skate park with deeper bowls and more street skating space. After much
discussion and three workshops, the designer presented participants with
three sketches. Participants were able to use components of each sketch to
design a skate park of their choice.
Our participation in the skate park design allowed many youth,
who had never been involved in the community, the opportunity to give
their input on a project. The Fairmont Skate Park will open in the fall.
YCG participants hosted a Gender Justice Summit in collaboration
with the YWCA, UP-Net and a variety of community organizations on
November zi, zooz. The summit featured the film "A Passion for Justice."
After the film, YCG members lead a discussion about the images of
women as portrayed by media and popular culture.
For the second year, YCG members hosted a press conference with
Mayor Anderson. The press conference provided high school media
students with an opportunity to ask Mayor Anderson questions and
discuss concerns they.had regarding Salt Lake City government.
2
• During the legislative session, YCG students received first-hand
experience in lobbying their state representatives and senators.
Participants collaborated with UP-Net, Rowland Hall St. Marks school
and other community organizations in support of House Bill 8i sponsored
by Representative Ty McCartney. H.B. 8i is a compensation study that
will address possible wage and benefit differences between men and •
women who work for the State of Utah. A salary study conducted by the
labor department has shown that men and women are compensated
differently for the same or similar jobs.' Nationally women typically
make $.73 for every dollar earned by a man. In Utah the ratio is $.66
(over all job sectors) to every dollar.' YCG students met,.e-mailed and
phoned their representatives and senators to discuss pay equity. On the
last day of the session, H.B. 8i passed the Senate floor. Governor Leavitt
signed H.B. 8i into law in April.
On May 7, zoo3, in collaboration with Peer Court, the U.S.
Attorney's Office and Weed & Seed, YCG hosted a Youth Summit on
Gun Violence. The summit focused on the legal consequences of
firearms policies and how they affect the community. Over 90 youth
• attended the summit. We were able to survey S7 attendees regarding gun
violence in their neighborhoods. Based on the discussions during the
summit, surveys and additional research, we will submit
recommendations to the U.S. Attorney's Office regarding methods and
messages that are effective in communicating the dangers and legal
consequences of gun violence as it pertains to teens.
LEADERSHIP TRAINING
As part of our leadership training YCG members participated in a
variety of youth forums including the Youth Forum: Refugees Voice Their
Power, hosted by National Youth Network and the Utah Peace Institute.
YCG members joined ioo youth from across the country to discuss the
struggles that many of their refugee peers experience in Salt Lake City
High Schools. One item of discussion revolved around the segregation of
refugee students in area high schools. A majority of the refugee
participants felt isolated from other students. All participants
acknowledged that the lack of communication at their school leads to
racial segregation and stereotyping. They also committed that their
•

3
• organizations will work with local school officials to address concerns
raised at the conference.
YCG members participated in the Phoenix Alliance: Utah's Anti-
tobacco Revolution Summit. Participants attended leadership workshops
focusing on event planning, media relations and becoming a part of the
political process. YCG members helped facilitate the icebreaker for the
summit by playing "Cultural Bingo." Students were asked to have their
bingo card signed by somebody they did not know. Cultural bingo allows
students to recognize the diversity that exists within every group. The
icebreaker was a great success and we were able to discuss many of the
concerns that the participants were facing in their schools and
communities. The icebreaker also helped student recognize that all
participating organizations can assist each other in reducing tobacco use
among teens.
The Utah Bar Association asked YCG members to participate in
the Dialogue on Freedom. Participants were given a hypothetical
scenario and asked to respond. Chief Justice Christine Durham and
• attorney Ron Yengich facilitated the discussion. The dialogue was taped
by KUED and is now being used to engage Utah secondary students in
thought-provoking dialogue about our democratic system of government
and civic traditions. YCG members learned about individual rights, the
rule of law and the importance of engaging all community members in
the political process.
YouthCity Government students were asked by the National
League of Cities to assist in their MetLife Foundation Youth-City
Connection grant selection process. Members reviewed applications from
9 cities. After reviewing and scoring each city, members participated in a
phone conference with National League of Cities staff to select the top
three cities. The selected cities will receive technical assistance to
develop strategies that encourage youth participation and involvement in
their communities.
During the National League of Cities Conference, YCG students
participated in two workshops. Thomas Cabral represented YCG on a
panel titled "Erasing Color Lines: A Youth Perspective on Race
• Relations." Youth from across the country discussed race relations from
their perspectives and offered insight and practical suggestions to local
officials on how to improve race relations in their schools and
4
• communities. YCG members were also able to join youth from across the
United States, between the ages of 15-18, in a forum. Participants
discussed a variety of issues regarding youth involvement in municipal
government. YCG members ended the night by hosting a delegate social
and dance at the Rice Eccles Stadium. Subsequently, we received requests
from other cities inquiring about the success of our youth programs.
COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT
YCG members were approached by the Westview, a west side
community newspaper, to interview candidates running for local and
national office. Members interviewed ii candidates and learned about
their various platforms. The project was fun and everyone learned about
the importance of political involvement.
In commemoration of the September it, zoo' attack on the World
Trade Center, the National Conference for Community and Justice held
a unity walk and concert. YCG members joined youth and adults to pay
respect and celebrate our diverse community.
IIYCG members attended and Amnesty sponsored the Am p y International
Film Festival held at Rowland Hall, St. Mark's school. Members invited
Mayor Rocky Anderson as the opening guest speaker.
In collaboration with AmeriCorps and the Medically Underserved
of Utah and the Association for Utah Community Health, YCG
members hosted a free health fair, blood drive and day of service in
celebration of the Martin Luther King,Jr. holiday. Participants delivered
food boxes and health kits to low-income senior citizens. The experience
was humbling and rewarding. Many of our youth were unaware of the
struggles that elderly and medically underserved individuals face within
our community. Prior to the project, YCG members learned about Dr.
King's passion for service and civil rights.
FUN EVENTS
We consistently hear complaints from our peers about the lack of
IIIsafe environments for fun activities. YouthCity Government answered
this concern by successfully hosting a Skate Against Hate and Violence
concert and skate park competition at Jordan Park. The concert and
5
competition were a great success and attracted over zoo youths from
across Salt Lake City. Two area high school bands performed. The event
provided a venue for them to showcase their talent and allowed youth
from different schools to get to know each other better. We were able to
secure local sponsorship from Milo Sports, Marine Products, Kinkos and
the Salt Lake City Police Department.
CONCLUSION
This brief offers the Mayor, City Council and community
members the opportunity to learn more about Youth City Government
and our involvement in the community. YCG members are very proud
of our accomplishments this year. We appreciate the continued support
that we have received from the Mayor, City Council Members, Director
of Youth Programs, YCG Advisory Board Members, YCG Champions
in the schools, and our families and friends.
As young leaders, we are committed to creating more opportunities
for youth to participate in the political process through collaboration and
• community outreach.

Honorable Members of the City Council:
Just a note to let you know how much my wife Rosa and I appreciate and how much our
daughter Candace has benefited from the YouthCity Program in Salt Lake City. Youth
City Government,headed by Ms. Angela Romero, has been an important and integral
part of Candace's life for the last four years. Under the leadership of Ms. Romero and
with the cohesion and creativity of its junior members she has developed many rewarding
long-term skills. These include but are not limited to: confidence, fulfillment, self-worth,
public speaking, delegation,to name but a few.
This junior model of city government has served as an inspiration for her that she will be
able to take the rest of her life,as well as set a shining example to the youth of this
community as to what can be accomplished when actions speak louder than words. The
IIIprogram has enabled her to build a solid resume for future career endeavors as well as
apply at the nation's top colleges-she was accepted at Smith College in Northampton,
Massachusetts, and will begin her freshman year this fall.
Thank you aiding the fulfillment of the goals and dreams of our youth and keeping this
program alive,even during the hard times.
A Very Heartfelt Thank You,
Brad and Rosa Gibson c

Subject: Good new for Library Budget
June 4, 2003
To: City Council Members
From:Nancy Tessman, Library Director
Re: Projected Budget Revenues for 2003-2004
We have received the good news that the Library Budget should receive additional revenues of
approximately $200,000 next year, thereby reducing the shortfall to approximately $400,000 for
2003-2004. Although we have not discussed this change with the Board officially, we would like
to ask the Council to ensure that the budget reflects this additional anticipated revenue.
At this moment, we would recommend that $112,000 of this restored funding be added to the
operating contingency. If the full revenue estimate materials by April of 2004, we would allocate
these funds to restore some of the cutbacks planned for collections. If not, we have a bit more in
contingency to absorb any additional revenue disappointments.
We would like to keep the two branches - Sprague and Day-Riverside - open on Sundays. These
cutbacks seems to have created the greatest concern from patrons.
We would also like to use approximately $25,000 for limited one-time performance recognition
awards for staff. Since merit increases were eliminated and we think it wise to avoid increases
that could have long-term impact this year, this would enable us to acknowledge the remarkable
performance of many of our staff throughout this very demanding and successful year.
Therefore, the changes would restore approximately $100,000 to the Personnel Budget and the
other $112,000 to the operating contingency.
We will look forward to additional conversation on Thursday.

Memo
Public Services Department
To: Michael Sears
Copy: Cindy Gust-Jenson, Rocky Fluhart, Steve Fawcett, Kevin Bergstrom, Steve Wetherell
()\lfFrom: Rick Graham Date: June 5, 2003
Re; Follow-up items requested by City Council from Golf Fund Budget Briefings on May 29,
2003 (Items requested by email on Friday May 30, 2003.)
Request: Provide Council Member Buhler information about the sound system at Bonneville-
• specifically: confirm whether a new system was purchased.
Response: It has been confirmed, as stated in the briefing, that the sound system wasn't replaced
recently. Course management has been contacted and asked to be considerate in the use of the
system and to be particularly sensitive on Saturday and Sunday mornings.
Request: Provide Council Member Lambert a chart for each of the courses, include: the current rates,
the proposed rates changes and a comparison to other cities and County courses.
Response: See accompanying schedule and charts that were reviewed and recommended by the
Golf Advisory Board. (Attachments - Schedule of Proposed Changes to Golf Rates Effective January 1,
2004 and five colored charts entitled Green Fees in Salt Lake Area)
Request: Provide Council Member Saxton with information for the number of employees at each golf
course — provide seasonal numbers and year-round employee levels.
Response:
The question has arisen whether, in order to lower personnel expenses, opportunity exists to operate
the Golf Fund with a larger ratio of seasonal employees to salaried employees.
The Golf Division implemented reductions in staff at the supervisory level in Fiscal Year 2002.
Further reductions in salaried staffing in the lower tiers would prove detrimental to service levels and
the quality and condition of the golf courses.
• Golf management continually analyzes its operations to identify opportunities to improve operating
P 9
efficiency and reduce costs. In Fiscal Year 01-02, five positions within the Golf Fund -- two golf
Page 1 of 5
professional positions, one golf course superintendent, one equipment mechanic and the assistant
Golf Manager position --were eliminated in order to hold down the level of fee increases necessary
to generate required revenues. At that time it was indicated to the Council that additional
opportunities for labor-related expense reductions were considered few in number without
significantly reducing the current level of quality and service expected by Golf's customers.
Most of the positions eliminated in FY02 were in the upper tier of the Golf Fund staffing document in
order to effect the largest possible reduction in expenses. These economy-of-scale reductions in
mostly supervisory positions were, in part, made feasible by the existence of highly-qualified,
experienced staff in the lower tier of positions. Without this solid underpinning of experienced and
very committed employees, these reductions would not have been contemplated, proposed or carried
out.
Certainly cost containment is extremely important in these economic times. Almost universally
across the country, golf courses are overbuilt and rounds played are flat. However, in highly-
competitive business situations, perceived value becomes even more important to customer retention
than it may prove in less competitive times.
In virtually all customer surveys conducted in the golf business, including our own, the condition of
the golf course is consistently identified as the single most important reason avid golfers choose to
play one golf course over another, usually far outdistancing factors such as price, speed of play,
availability of tee times, and proximity to home.
In golf operations, the management position responsible for providing the playing condition of the golf
course, as well as all maintenance operations, is that of the Golf Course Superintendent. An
indication of the value which golf course owners and operators place on the fundamental importance
of maintenance operations is demonstrated in the compensation levels awarded to golf course
superintendents. •
According to a recently-released joint study conducted by the National Golf Course Owners
Association (NGCOA) and the National Club Association, golf course superintendents are among the
top three highest paid professionals in golf course operations. Staffing for maintenance operations on
an upper-end golf course typically consists of the following salaried positions, with actual staffing
levels at each position dependent upon need:
Golf Course Superintendent
Asst. Golf Course Superintendent
Equipment Manager
Horticulturist
Crew Foreman
Irrigation Specialist
Asst Equipment Manager
Chemical Technician
Office Assistant
Equipment Operator
Gardner
Triplex Operator
Groundskeeper •
Page 2 of 5
This list indicates the variety of specialized skills which are required to produce a well-maintained golf
course. Salt Lake's staffing combines many of these duties into far fewer positions to ensure
efficiency.
• Golf course pro shop operations are the purview of Head Golf Professionals. The pro shop is a
valuable profit center for every golf operation.
Among their duties, Golf Professionals manage the volume of customer traffic through the clubhouse,
schedule and manage all golf course play including tournaments and leagues, control all golf retail
merchandise ordering, stocking and sales, teach golf lessons, and manage the driving range and golf
car operations. PGA Golf Professionals are typically college graduates who must then serve a
minimum of 5 years as full-time apprentice golf professionals before certifying for Class A status.
The PGA requires every apprentice to complete substantial, formal educational course work in
preparation for managing pro shop operations prior to conferring its Class A certification status.
Typical staffing of Golf Pro Shop operations consist of the following positions, with staffing at each
level dependent on need:
Head Golf Professional
Asst. Golf Professional
2nd Asst Golf Professional
Golf Starter
Driving range/ Golf car staff
Golf course marshal
• In staffing its golf courses, the Golf Division attempts to use the minimum number of salaried
personnel possessing the requisite skills to provide high-quality golf operations, and then employs a
large body of seasonal personnel to cover all other positions.
The accompanying documents (Staffing, FY2003 authorized positions in FTEs and Staffing - FTEs and
Number of individual employees) report the current staffing level of the Golf Fund. In regard to the
use of seasonal golf employees on the City's courses, it should be noted that analysis of the data for
Calendar Year 2002 indicates that the total percentage of hours worked by seasonal employees in
the Division was 44 percent of all hours worked. The number of seasonal employees employed was
139; the number of salaried individuals employed was 55.
If one compares the total number of salaried individuals employed with the total number of seasonal
individuals employed it may serve as an indication of the relatively low number of salaried personnel
assigned to any particular golf course.
The Fund has taken the conscious course of implementing economy-of-scale reductions wherein
many management positions share responsibilities among multiple golf courses. Six golf course
superintendents manage maintenance operations on the City's nine golf courses; five golf
professionals manage all golf course pro shop operations; and only three mechanics are employed to
service all the specialized equipment employed in the maintenance of the courses.
Golf management has continued to monitor the results of the staff reductions which were
implemented in FY02. It should be recognized that there are significant hidden costs in operating
with seasonal labor. The high turnover rate, the necessity for continuous retraining due to turnover,
• and the lesser commitment to sustainable operations, are all contributing factors.
Page 3 of 5
At its current staffing level, it is felt that the City continues to offer high-quality golf courses for its
customers, but further reductions in salaried staff will prohibit Golf's ability to continue to offer the
type of operation which is expected by those who play the City's courses.
Golf courses are multi-million dollar assets, generating revenues in the hundreds of thousands of 1111
dollars, which require professional, committed staff with abundant technical expertise to operate them
profitably and in a manner the golfing public expects.
Having stated this, if the Council wishes, Public Services will further explore by the end of the
calendar year the increased use of seasonals in its operations.
(Attachments -Staffing, FY2003 authorized positions in FTEs and Staffing -FTEs and Number of
individual employees.)
Request: Include typical annual schedules for each course, too(?) i.e. Mountain Dell is closed more
than Wingpointe during the winter, etc. — impact to employee staffing levels.
Response: In a normal weather pattern the following courses are typically open to substantial
amounts of golf play in the months indicated. With the exception of Mountain Dell, the other courses
are typically open on a sporadic basis during many of the months shown here as closed.
Bonneville March through October
Forest Dale March through November
Glendale March through November
Jordan River April through October
Mountain Dell April through October
Nibley Park March through November
Rose Park March through November II
Wingpointe Mid-February through mid-December
It should be noted that because it is a recreational, seasonal endeavor, employees working in actual
golf course operations in the Golf Division are exempt from the FLSA requirements regarding
compensatory time. By Department policy, salaried employees in the Golf Division can accumulate
up to 600 hours of compensatory time. This circumstance is heavily utilized by the Golf Division in
managing the number of hours worked by salaried employees. For instance, at Mountain Dell —
which is closed for the longest duration —salaried staff frequently work 7 days a week, 12 hours a
day, for weeks on end. These employees work approximately the same number of hours per year
that a more typical city employee works, they just complete their annual labor in a much shorter
period of time.
Request: Reminder of Rick Graham's conversation with Council Members Christensen and
Jergensen re: secondary water use and analysis of the cost of implementing such a system in
parks/courses versus the savings such a program would generate.
Response: The Golf Division believes the use of secondary water sources as a means of irrigating
its golf courses is in its future. The division has been working with the Public Utilities Department in
studying the opportunity to use effluent water from the Rose Park Treatment Plant for irrigating the
Rose Park Golf Course. This project appears to be at last three years down the road, the timeframe
that Public Utilities indicates is required to put the infrastructure in place. The projected cost for an
irrigation system upgrade to accommodate the use of effluent water is in the range of$1.5 to $2.0
million dollars. Upgrades to the other courses which remain to be converted to secondary water Illwould be dependent upon the secondary water source located.
Page 4 of 5
From a practical business point of view, the Golf Fund will not have the funds in place to build the
irrigation system infrastructure at Rose Park until its current revenue bonds are retired, which is
2008. The Division will consider other funding options, to accelerate the program, such as bonding
• under the assumption that a new watering system will create culinary water and labor savings which
may offset the annual cost of the bond. That analysis will be conducted this coming year. (The bond
could also be used to fund other golf course and park projects in reasonable proximity to the Rose
Park treatment plant.)
The Golf Division currently uses alternative water sources at two of its golf courses. At Glendale Golf
Course a well has been drilled which produces irrigation water that requires pre-use treatment with
sulfur and that accounts for approximately 30% of the course's annual water needs. The Division
believes that over time, the well will generate additional augmentation of the course's secondary
water needs.
At Mountain Dell Golf Course, untreated water from Lambs Creek is purchased from the Public
Utilities Department and is used to irrigate 100% of the golf course.

PROPOSED COMPENSATION INCREASE SUMMARY
•
100 Series (AFSCME operations and maintenance): The proposed ordinance funds
the second year of a memorandum of understanding agreed to by the City and the
American Federation of State County 8s Municipal Employees Local 1004 (AFSCME).
The term of agreement was for three years beginning July 2002 and ending June
2005.
o 2.75% increase on June 22, 2003
o Merit pay increases averaging 0.16% on the employee's employment
anniversary date.
200 Series (AFSCME technical and clerical): The proposed ordinance funds the
second year of a memorandum of understanding agreed to by the City and the
American Federation of State County 8s Municipal Employees Local 1004 (AFSCME).
The term of agreement is for the period July 2002 through June 2005.
o 2.75% average increase on June 22, 2003
o Merit pay increases averaging 1.02% on the employee's employment
anniversary date. )
400 Series (Fire Union): The proposed ordinance funds the second years of a
memorandum of understanding agreed to by the City and the Fire Fighters Local. The
term of agreement is for July 2002 through June 2005.
o 2.8% average increase on June 22, 2003
o Merit pay increases averaging 1.03% on the employee's employment
II/ anniversary date (unless the employee is already at the top of the pay scale).
500 Series (Police Union): The proposed ordinance funds the third year of the
memorandum of understanding agreed to by the City and the International Union of
Police Associations, Local 75, AFL-CIO in June 2001: The term of agreement is from
July 2001 to June 2004.
o 3.5% for top step officer; 2.9% average increase on June 22, 2003
o Merit pay increases averaging 1.26% on the employee's employment
anniversary date (unless the employee is already at the top of the pay scale).
300/600 Series (Professional - non-union): The ordinance prepared for 300/600
Series compensation is not negotiated with a bargaining unit. However, the
Administration does work with a group of employee representatives called the
Professional Employees Council (PEC) to review the implications of proposed changes.
o 2% increase to salary ranges for the 300 and 600 Series.
o 2.7% general percentage pay increase applied by determining whether each
employee is below the midpoint or above the midpoint. Those below the
midpoint will receive a greater increase than the 2.7% depending on how
much below the midpoint. Employees above the midpoint will receive less
than the 2.7%. Since more City employees are below the midpoint than
above the midpoint, the total estimated cost for the City is 3.7%. Merit
increases are not provided to 300/600 series employees.
•
700 Series (Regular Part-Time employees who perform essentially the same
duties of employees classified by the City as 100 and 200 series): The ordinance 11111
prepared for 700 Series compensation is not negotiated with a bargaining unit. The
proposed ordinance funds:
o 2.75% average increase paid in accordance with salary structure of full-time
employees in the 100 and 200 series. Merit increases are not provided.
800 Series (Police non-union - sergeants, lieutenants, captains): The ordinance
prepared for 800 Series compensation is not negotiated with a bargaining unit.
However, the Administration does work with a group of employee representatives
(PEC) to review the implications of proposed changes. The ordinance proposes the
following based on a study of the local market:
o 3.5% increase to steps for sergeants, lieutenants and captains
o Merit increases averaging .04% for eligible employees. The amount is small,
because most employees in this series are currently at the top step.
900 Series (Fire non-union - captain, battalion chief): The ordinance prepared for
the 900 Series compensation is not negotiated with a bargaining unit. However, the
Administration does work with a group of employee representatives (PEC) to review
the implications of proposed changes.
o 3% increase in steps
o 0.03% cost of merit increases (applies to those not already at the top of the
pay scale). The amount is small, because most employees in this series are
currently at the top step.
Unclassified Employees (Appointed staff in the Mayor's Office, Council Office, IDand City Attorney's Office): Employees in the unclassified compensation plan are
"at will" and subject to termination without cause. These employees receive a
severance benefit of one week for each year of service up to a maximum of six weeks
but do not have longevity or lay-off benefits (professional employees not in this pay
plan have bumping rights and, for one year, can fill a vacant position anywhere in the
City if satisfying minimum qualifications). This compensation plan provides greater
discretion of the appointing authority in deciding the unclassified employee's salary.
The proposed budget includes an average increase of 2.5% for fiscal year 2003-04.
Executive Employees: The ordinance prepared for executive employees'
compensation contains the same pay adjustments as the compensation plan for the
600 series employees.
o 2.5% increase to the salary schedule. Raising the range minimums and
maximums increases pay potential, but does not by itself create pay raises.
o 2.7% general percentage pay increase for executives, as a guideline for base
pay and performance-based adjustments. Base pay increases may vary
between individuals from zero percent to six percent or more, as the Mayor
and the department heads deem appropriate. Department heads are
expected to make judgments reflecting their perception of the value of each
executive's contribution to the City, and how much money for raises should
be distributed to maintain an equitable relationship between incumbents.
Executives do not receive anniversary date or "merit step" changes.
o The proposed budget includes an average increase of 3.3% for fiscal year

Subject: Requested information regarding Youth and Family Specialist case assignments
Sir,
Provided are approximate numbers for new cases assigned to Youth and Family Specialists for the past
several years as requested by the City Council. It should be noted that there have been several changes
and increases in job responsibilities assigned to YFS personnel during the past two years in addition to
the reduction in staff. In 2001,with five Youth and Family Specialists working for the department, there
was an average of 21 new cases assigned to each worker per month. In 2002,the average monthly
assignment of new cases per worker with four YFS staff members was 38. During 2003, the average
number of new cases per YFS worker has been 54 cases per month. It is estimated that the average
monthly assignment of new cases for Youth and Family Specialists during the fiscal year 2004 with three
staff members will be approximately 72 per month. Management of these cases over time often requires
multiple contacts, screening, and follow-up after the initial contact and referrals. In addition to these case
management duties, Youth and Family Specialists also participate in multiple meetings and committees
including:weekly CAT team meetings, Methamphetamine Initiative partner's work groups, child protection
case screenings, Community Action Board meetings, the Child Abuse and Neglect Council, as well as
other community and collaborative efforts as needed.

June 5th Discussion re FY04 Legislative Intent Statements
Based on Council Members'discussions and comments, following are potential Legislative Intent
• Statements for fiscal year 2003-2004.
Does the Council
Potential Legislative Intent Statements wish to consider
for Fiscal Year 2003-2004 this statement or
any others?
A. Bonding for Efficient Irrigation Systems for Parks and
Golf Courses - It is the intent of the City Council that the
Administration investigate the possibility of bonding for
improving the water efficiency of some of the City's golf
courses, parks and other green space. Efficient systems
should include secondary water systems using reclaimed
water, springs, shallow ground water, or other water sources.
It is the intent of the City Council that the study include the
repayment of the bonds through savings in the cost of water
including projected future increase to the cost of culinary
water.
B. Grant Writing Team — It is the intent of the City Council
that the grant writing team serve a wide variety of City needs,
rather than focusing so heavily on youth programs.
Specifically, it is the Council's intent that the grant writing
resources are allocated so that writers spend at least % of
• their time seeking grants for programs other than youth-
oriented grants. (or that the total dollar amount of grants
submitted for youth programs shall not exceed the total dollar
amount of grants submitted for housing, law enforcement and

Subject: FW: Jill's follow up questions on traffic calming
Hi, Alison. Council Member Jill Love called me yesterday as a follow up to her traffic calming
questions during Tuesday night's CED budget discussion. She asked if Transportation could
respond to the following requests/questions:
1) City-wide map indicating (by dots)the locations of all temporary and permanent
• speed bumps by street.
See Attached Map and spreadsheet. The attached map shows the location of the
various projects that we have worked on and the spreadsheets show what type and how many traffic calming
measures were installed on each project. The projects have been broken up into five categories. "Completed
Projects with traffic calming measures". These projects went all the way to construction. The spreadsheet shows
the type and the amount of traffic calming measures were installed on each project. "Engineering Projects that
included traffic calming measures". We have teamed up with City Engineering on several street reconstruction
projects where residents had requested that we install some kind of traffic calming measures on them. We do this
to take advantage of the cost savings resulting from the street being rebuilt and the desire to impact the
neighborhood only once with construction. Normally we don't have the time to test the traffic calming measures
before they are installed so we work very closely with the residents who live on the street to identify a plan we are
confident will work and that the residents agree upon. "Completed Projects without traffic calming measures."
There are times when we will start working with a neighborhood to develop and even test a calming plan on their
street only to result in residents not agreeing to a permanent installation or that a successful plan could not be
achieved. "Completed Projects waiting for construction of traffic calming measures". We have two projects that
have gone all the way through the process and are awaiting to have construction work completed. "Active
Projects". We are currently working on eight projects which are at various stages in the process. Two of these
projects are City Engineering projects and six of them are ones we are working directly with the residents of street
where the traffic calming measures will be installed.
2) History of speed bump usage, for instance, how long has the City been using speed
bumps as a traffic calming measure? How many streets use them now, and how
many streets are planned for future usage?
The first speed humps were installed on Menlo in July 1998. This is a very narrow
street that City Engineering was reconstructing at the time. Since that time we have received over 290 requests
for traffic calming. We have completed 41 projects and of those projects 24 of them have had some kind of traffic
calming measures installed on them with speed humps being the most popular traffic calming measure. We have
. 107 requests that are currently eligible for traffic calming and 145 of the requests that did not meet our eligibility
requirements which is based upon points received from speed, traffic volume and several other criteria.
3) How much as the City spent so far on speed bumps?
1
Approximately$662,000 has been spent so far for traffic calming implementation
including, but not limited to, speed humps and speed tables. Approximately$250,000 has been spent for testing
equipment and other supplies.
4) Are there any studies demonstrating speed bump effectiveness? (i.e.: That traffic
speed actually slows as a result of the bumps?)
Yes, before we start any project we will conduct a traffic study to gather the speed III
and the volume in that area to serve as a baseline for that street. During the testing period we will conduct another
traffic study to determine whether or not we have been effective in reducing the speeding on that street. The
results of the second study is compared to the results of the first study to help us determine if we need to make
adjustments in the traffic calming plan or if we should consider constructing the traffic calming plan. You'll notice
on the spread sheet that there are times when we start a project, but we end not installing any traffic calming
measures on the street. Often this happens when we have not seen a significant change in the speed on the
street.
5) Are there any indicators detailing whether traffic patterns change after temporary or
permanent speed bumps are installed? For instance, temporary speed bumps were
placed on 1500 East. What is the change in traffic flow or pattern on 1700 South,
Harvard, Michigan & Laird as a result of the temporary speed bumps on 1500 East?
We are currently testing five speed tables on 1500 East. Prior to the testing period
we placed traffic counters on 1500 East, 1600 East, 1700 East, 1800 East and 1 900-
East to see what the traffic was before we installed the speed tables on 1500 East.
Now that the testing period has begun we will place traffic counters on each of these
streets again to see what if any changes have occurred.
6) Do we have anything to show what the traffic patterns are pre and post speed bump
placement?
At the beginning of each project we look at the entire area to determine if there are
streets that traffic might divert to. When we feel that there is a possibility of diverting
traffic from one street to another we will conduct a traffic study on that street at the
same time that we conduct the traffic studies on the primary road. If we see that
traffic has been diverted onto another road we work to find a solution to that problem.
We can either change the traffic plan on the primary road or we work with the
residents who live on the road where the traffic has been diverted to install traffic 411
calming measures on their street.
7) Have we allowed the neighborhoods to be creative with their own traffic calming
solutions? If so, how?
Yes! The residents play a big part in determining what type of traffic calming
measures are tested and installed on their street. The program begins with a
neighborhood meeting where the residents are invited to participate in a neighborhood
traffic calming committee (NTCC). The NTCC work very closely with us in designing a
traffic calming plan for their street. A survey is then sent to all of the residents and
property owners of that street to see if there is enough support to test the traffic calming
measures. We will only test the plan if there is enough support for the plan. During the
testing period we will survey the residents and property owners again to see if there is
enough support from them to construct the traffic calming plan. Speed humps are the
most commonly requested/desired devices from residents. This is generally because
they are the most effective. Because of the growing negative feedback,we are more
heavily promoting a mix of traffic calming devices in any one plan as well as using more
speed tables instead of humps since they are a"kinder, gentler"speed hump. Also, if
there are aspects of a plan that we feel strongly about needing to remain in a plan, we so
indicate to the neighborhood. For example, we have had some neighborhoods want to
keep tested speed humps, but remove pedestrian bulbouts at crosswalks. They shorten
pedestrian crossing distances and are generally safer, but also make it more difficult for
drivers to make right hand turns.
Thanks. Sylvia

• Provide Council Members with a listing of the new computers (117 to 124
per tech) and their proposed location?
Citywide computers (PCs) have shown a consistent growth over the past
several years (Please see attached Department PC Count document for
details),. Presently, IMS is maintaining 2,461 computers (PCs) citywide
with a staff of 21 Network Technicians. This results in each Network
Technician being responsible for an average of 117 PCs. The industry
standard for effective and competent support is 1 Network Technician per
a maximum of every 100 PCs, IMS Technicians have been able to
effectively support a slightly higher average without deterioration of
service quality.
Based on the historical growth patterns of the City, CED, Fire, Police, and
Public Services have shown fairly consistent annual increases in PCs
(Please see attached Department PC Count document for details). This is
a direct result of improving technology, the City's overall drive for less
paper (use electronic files), and improved customer service. Although it is
difficult to determine the exact departmental growth for subsequent years,
based on this historical data and communications from the Departments,
IMS is anticipating the growth patterns shown on the attached document.
This will result in a demand for an increase in staffing to effectively support
a greater number of PCs. If the anticipated growth does not materialize
. during FY04, the increased staffing will result in an improvement in the
support ratio. However, based upon even the most conservative analysis
and trends, the ratio will not fall below 110 to 115 computers for each
Network Technician. Based on current trends, if IMS staffing remains
status quo, there will be an increase in workload per Network Technician
resulting in each Network Technician being responsible for an average of
124 PCs (21 Network Technicians handling an estimated FY04 PC count
of 2,593). To alleviate the negative impact this would have, IMS is
requesting the approval of one additional Network Technician position.
This would bring the ratio back into line, with each Network Technician
being responsible for an average of 118 PCs.
• Provide Council Member Christensen a list of the pending projects
(backlog) of projects for a web-programmer position - justify need for an
additional programmer. Include origin of request; which City department
or whether an external/constituent based.
Please see attached System Backlog document.
