DISCUSSION: Jerold Oldroyd said he was an attorney representing AT&T, Qwest,
Comcast, Sierra Pacific, X-Cell and Touch America telecommunication companies. He
urged the Council to meet with the industry to discuss their concerns. He said the
proposed ordinance would have a detrimental impact on the industry. He said the
proposed ordinance imposed 1) a gross revenue tax on revenue which might not even be
generated in Salt Lake City or Utah, 2) proposed sales tax on equipment which might
not be located in Utah, and 3) imposed a linear foot charge to access rights-of-way
which would impact carriers that did not have a legal right to impact or utilize the
rights-of-way.
Aaron Syrett, Utah Film Commission, spoke about the proposed parking meter
ordinance. He said the current ordinance required $50 per day to bag a meter. He
said the proposed ordinance would change that amount to $10. He said he supported
that amount.
Marshall Moore spoke about the proposed parking meter ordinance. He said he
worked in Utah as a location manager in the motion picture and television industry.
He said one of his responsibilities was to secure parking for required support vehicles.
He said when he returned to work last June he was surprised to learn the parking fee
had increased from $10 per meter to $50 per meter per day. He said that increase had
significantly affected their budget.
Jeff Fox said he was concerned about the proposed telecommunication ordinance.
He said high prices were charged on telecommunication rights-of-way.
