AGENDA ITEMS
#1. REPORT OF THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, INCLUDING REVIEW OF COUNCIL INFORMATION
ITEMS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS.
No report was given.
See File M 03-5 for announcements.
#2. RECEIVE A BRIEFING REGARDING THE PROPOSED BUDGET FOR THE LIBRARY FUND FOR FISCAL
YEAR 2003-2004. View Attachment
Nancy Tessman, Roger Sandack, and Russ Weeks briefed the Council from the attached
handout. Mr. Sandack said the library was having a difficult time financially. He
said the economy was down and taxes were up. He said patrons tended to use public
facilities during down times. He said use of the library had increased approximately
180%. He said use in the children' s section had increased over 200%. Ms. Tessman
said the library budget was approximately $1 million lower than was intended. She
said this reduction compounded on last year's reduction.
Councilmember Saxton asked about the cost of a library card to someone from another
city. Ms. Tessman said if someone was a non-county user, currently there was a non-
resident fee of $40 a year. She said the Board had proposed doubling the fee to $80
next year. She said that would bring in an additional $40,000.
Councilmember Buhler said if the Library Board felt reciprocity did not work as it
currently existed, maybe County residents could pay $50 or $60 instead of $80 for
privileges. He said he wanted downtown business employers to receive consideration
for library cards. Ms. Tessman said right now if a business operator wanted a library
card for their business, they were entitled to one as long as they accepted
responsibility. Councilmember Buhler asked if the Board had considered a property tax
increase. Mr. Sandack said they had considered an increase, but felt this was not the
right year.

PROCEEDINGS OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH
THURSDAY, MAY 8, 2003
Councilmember Lambert asked if fundraising was down. Ms. Tessman said the library
still had a number of donations that were not yet reflected in this year's budget. She
said local foundations had turned the library down for grants this year. She said the
foundations felt the grants were needed for life support issues. Councilmember Lambert
asked about fund balance. Ms. Tessman said most of fund balance with the exception of
approximately $700,000 was saved over the last few years in anticipation of the
expansion project. She said part of the money was designed to pay for part of the new
main library project.
Councilmember Lambert asked about cutting hours on Sunday. Ms. Tessman said Sprague
and Day-Riverside Libraries would now be closed on Sundays. He asked if the library
had considered renting some of their facilities. Ms. Tessman said they were renting
facilities now and the budget included those revenues.
Councilmember Love asked about the decrease in programming and publicity. Ms. Tessman
said previously the library had sent newsletters to every City resident twice a year.
She said the City Library News was produced four times a year at a cost of approximately
$10,000 each time. She said the newsletter would only be mailed once this year.
Councilmember Love asked if the Board had considered raising fines for overdue
materials. Ms. Tessman said if fines were too high, parents would not let children
check out materials.
Councilmember Jergensen asked about contingency and why the library had gone from
approximately $1 million to $100,000. Ms. Tessman said last year' s budget was hard to
compare to because one-time monies for one-time costs had been built in. Councilmember
Jergensen asked about the $4 maximum late fee. Ms. Tessman said if an average of 10
items were checked out and they were all equally overdue, then it would cost a person
$40 in overdue fines.
#3. RECEIVE A BRIEFING REGARDING THE MAYOR'S RECOMMENDED BUDGET FOR THE AIRPORT FOR
FISCAL YEAR 2003-2004. View Attachment
Gary Mumford, Tim Campbell, Jay Bingham and Joseph Moratalla briefed the Council from
the attached handout. Councilmember Lambert asked why the airport' s overall operating
expenses were up 14.8%. Mr. Campbell said the expenses included a full year's salary
for additional personnel hired the middle of last year. Councilmember Lambert asked
if the airport was looking at long-term lease agreements with the airlines or if the
airline agreements were renewed yearly. Mr. Campbell said they felt short-term
agreements were in the City's best interest because airlines were going bankrupt. He
said short-term agreements gave the City more control over the carriers' facilities.
He said in a few years the uncertainty of the industry would sort itself out. He said
then the Airport would be in a position to sit down with the carriers and work through
long-term agreements.
Councilmember Christensen asked about the move to regional jets (RJ) . Mr. Campbell
said they had asked Delta monthly to give the airport an indication as to what their
plans were. He said it looked like there was continued growth in the RJ portion of
the operation and the Delta connection carriers. He said Concourse E could absorb a
few more operations during peak hours. He said they had excess gates available on
Concourse B to handle additional growth.
Councilmember Saxton asked if parking fee amounts were down because of restrictions on
"meeters and greeters" at the gates. Mr. Campbell said restrictions were still the
same. He said the airport was beginning to see traffic build back up and more people
were traveling.

THURSDAY, MAY 8, 2003
#4. RECEIVE A BRIEFING REGARDING THE PROPOSED FAA FLIGHT PATTERN CHANGES.
Tim Campbell and Steve Domino briefed the Council from the attached handout and a slide
presentation. Councilmember Buhler said west of Redwood Road was zoned light industrial
and no homes were located in that area. He said it would be an inconvenience to many
people in the valley if flight paths were moved east. He said the County had passed
a resolution on the FAA flight pattern changes. He said he wanted the City Council to
pass a resolution putting them on record as having concerns. Council Members were in
favor of a resolution.
Councilmember Jergensen said the issue had a significant increase in air travel
throughout the entire City. He said there would be a reduction in property values
Citywide. He said if the Council passed a resolution, the resolution needed to request
a 60-day extension. Mr. Campbell said a resolution would be appropriate and individual
Council Members could send their comments to the FAA. Councilmember Christensen asked
staff to prepare a resolution for Tuesday, May 13, 2003.
#5. RECEIVE A BRIEFING REGARDING THE LOAN AGREEMENT WITH KUTV. View Attachment
Alison Weyher and Michael Sears briefed the Council from the attached handout. Ms.
Weyher said the corporate guarantor of the loan would be CBS Television Station, Inc.
instead of Viacom. Councilmember Lambert asked if the in-kind payment amount was
increased. Ms. Weyher said it was the intent that in-kind money be used first. She
said additional language specified that in-kind contributions included production
costs. She said in-kind contributions needed the Council's review each year. She
said if the television station and the Administration could not agree on a program
within two consecutive six month periods, then the City would know they had a problem
and could go to arbitration. Councilmember Saxton asked who determined what was
advertised. Ms. Weyher said they had agreed that commercials would be developed
jointly by the Administration and KUTV with the consent of the Council on the concept.
#6. RECEIVE UPCOMING BUDGET SCHEDULE AND IDENTIFY INITIAL ISSUES OF INTEREST/CONCERN.
Ms. Gust-Jenson explained the schedule. She said it was difficult to do more than
three budget briefings a night. She said on May 27, 2003 some budget items were
scheduled along with the Main Street briefing. She said those briefings could be moved
to another night. She said budget briefings were planned for May 29, 2003 as well.
Councilmember Christensen asked the Council to leave June 24, 2003 open in case the
budget needed to be adopted that night.
Ms. Gust-Jenson asked if there were any budget items the Council wanted to have looked
at. Councilmember Lambert said he was interested in all fee increases. He said he
wondered if revenue projections were correct or too conservative and how the City
arrived at the projections. Ms. Gust-Jenson said they could invite the Administration
to address the Council's questions. Councilmember Buhler said a discussion needed to
be held on whether the Council was going to change the policy of taking 9% of general
revenue for Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) as opposed to money equaling 9% of
general revenue for CIP.
#7. REVIEW THE TENTATIVE SCHEDULE FOR THE MAIN STREET PLAZA ISSUE.
Ms. Gust-Jenson said the Chair and Vice Chair proposed on Tuesday, May 13, 2003 the
Council set the date of June 3, 2003 for a public hearing. She said May 20, 2003 was
the latest date the Council could receive paperwork from the Administration. She said
at that time staff would coordinate to make sure paperwork was available to the public.

PROCEEDINGS OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH
THURSDAY, MAY 8 , 2003
She said May 27, 2003 would be a briefing, May 29, 2003 a follow-up briefing, and final
consideration would tentatively be scheduled for June 5, 2003. Mr. Weeks said the
timeline was workable. He said the documents were close to being in final draft form
for the Council' s review. Councilmember Lambert said the Supreme Court was supposed
to announce their decision on May 19, 2003. Mr. Weeks said there was no guarantee.
Councilmember Saxton asked Council Members not to vote until the Supreme Court made a
decision. She invited each Council Member to attend a special meeting on May 19, 2003
concerning Main Street. Ms. Gust-Jenson said agenda language for the public hearing
needed to be advertised stating that the Council was willing to accept comment on all
proposals associated with Main Street including but not limited to. She said items
submitted formally through the petition process needed to be listed on the agenda.
Councilmember Love said she was concerned that misinformation could be given to the
public. Councilmember Buhler asked Councilmember Saxton if she would be willing to
hand out copies of the Council' s legal counsel' s opinion. Councilmember Saxton said
that was her intention. She said the document would be available and someone would be
present to give an overview.
The meeting adjourned at 8:27 p.m.

DISCUSSIONBACKGROUND
CITY COUNCIL POLICY OBJECTIVES AND SERVICE LEVEL INDICATORS
Historically,the City Council has had three policy objectives and service level expectations
for the Salt Lake City Library System. •
• To provide the best library services and resources possible to Salt Lake City residents and
visitors.
• To provide sufficient and equitable access to library information and services to all
members of the community.
• To provide economical and efficient library services to meet the needs of the community.
It should be noted that the City Council has not reviewed its policy objectives and service
level expectations for nine years. It also should be noted that the City Council had a management
review of the Library System conducted in 1997,and the System received high marks for service,
performance and efficiency.
The authority for the City Council to review and act on the City Library System's budget
appears in Title 9, Chapter 7 of the Utah Code.The Chapter includes the following sections:
9-7-401. Tax for establishment and maintenance of public library—Library fund.
(1)A city governing body may establish and maintain a public library.
(2)For this purpose,cities may levy annually a tax not to exceed.001 of taxable value
of taxable property in the city.The tax is in addition to all taxes levied by cities and is not
limited by the levy limitation imposed on cities by law.However,if bonds are issued for
purchasing a site,or constructing or furnishing a building,then taxes sufficient for the
payment of the bonds and any interest may be levied.
(3)The taxes shall be levied and collected in the same manner as other general taxes
of the city and shall constitute a fund to be known as the city library fund.
(4)The city library fund shall receive a portion of the uniform fee on tangible personal410)
2
property in accordance with the procedures established in Subsection 59-2-405(5).
9-7-402.Library board of directors—Expenses.
(1) When the city governing body decides to establish and maintain a city public
library under the provisions of this part,it shall appoint a library board of directors
of not less than five members and not more than nine members,chosen from the
citizens of the city and based upon their fitness for the office.
(2) Only one member of the city governing body may be,at any one time,a member
of the board.
9-7-404.Board powers and duties—Library fund deposits and disbursements.
(1)The library board of directors may,with the approval of the city governing body:
(a)have control of the expenditure of the library fund,of construction,lease,or
sale of library buildings and land,and of the operation and care of the library;and
(b)purchase,lease,or sell land,and purchase,lease,erect,or sell buildings for
the benefit of the library.
(2)The board shall:
(a)maintain and care for the library;
(b)establish policies for its operation;and
(c)in general,carry out the spirit and intent of the provisions of this part.
(3)All tax moneys received for the library shall be deposited in the city treasury to the
credit of the library fund,and may not be used for any purpose except that of the city
library.These funds shall be drawn upon by the authorized officers of the city upon
presentation of the properly authenticated vouchers of the library board.All moneys
collected by the library shall be deposited to the credit of the library fund.
411 9-7-406. Reports to governing body and State Library Board.The library board of

the library,including a financial statement;and
(2)provide for the keeping of records required by the State Library Board in its
request for an annual report from the public libraries,and submit that annual report to the
State Library Board.
It should be noted that it is an internal City Council policy not to have City Council
Members serve on City boards and commissions except in an ex officio capacity.
REVIEW OF LIBRARY SYSTEM REVENUE FOR FISCAL YEAR 2003-2004
City Council staff prepared the following table with the intent of showing projected
revenue for Fiscal Year 2003-2004.
PROPOSED REVENUE BUDGET
Adopted Proposed
Major Category 2002-2003 2003-2004 Difference Percent
Property tax $10,613,202 $10,038,276 ($574,926) -5.42%
Interest 280,000 125,000 (155,000) -55.36%
Grants/Donations 604,704 347,411 (257,293) -42.55%
Fines/Copy Charges/Intergovernmental 358,000 446,626 88,626 24.76%
Capital Fund Balances 3,950,000 750,000 (3,200,000) -81.01%
TOTAL $15,805,906 $11,707,313 (S4,098,593) -25.93%
3
•
One might see from the proposed table that, except for an estimated rise in fines, copy
•
charges and intergovernmental collections,revenue from other sources are projected to decline in
the next fiscal year.
The steepest anticipated decline occurs in the capital fund balance category. In the current
fiscal year the category includes about$3 million in fund balances for capital projects and—for
this report—$950,000 in a line item in the operating budget titled Contingency Savings.
The City Council staff report last May for the Library System budget described the
revenue budget as one that was cash rich due to healthy fund balances but whose future was
uncertain due to anemic"natural growth"in property taxes.
The projected budget for Fiscal Year 2003-2004 appears to bear out the previous
paragraph. Last year Library administrators said fund balances were large to pay one-time costs
associated with construction of the new Main Library and the expansion of the Anderson-Foothill
Branch Library. Library Administrators said then that the one-time costs in capital fund balances
also were designed to pay for items that could be paid by the$84 million general obligation bond,
but the useful life of the items was shorter than the life of the bond repayments.The$950,000
Contingency Savings line item in the operating budget was earmarked to pay one-time costs
associated with operating the new Main Library when it opened.
Library administrators indicate that expenditures of the fund balances have occurred as
anticipated. One also might note that in April the City Council adopted a budget amendment that
reduced the capital fund balances by$223,000 and the operating budget Contingency Savings line
item by$350,000 to pay for a shortfall in property tax revenue for the current fiscal year.
•
Revenue from property taxes is projected to decline in the next fiscal year by$574,926—
a 5.42 percent decrease.One might note that due to large fund balances in the current fiscal year
property tax as a percentage made up about two-thirds of the Library System's total projected
revenue. With the depletion of fund balances anticipated revenue from property taxes makes up
about 85 percent of total revenue in the proposed budget for the next fiscal year.The percentage
of reliance on property taxes as a revenue source is closer to the Library System's historical
reliance on property taxes as its main revenue source than the current fiscal year's adopted
budget.
The proposed budget also projects drops in interest earnings and grants and donations. In
previous discussions with the City Council in April,Library System administrators have indicated
that interest earnings fell during the current fiscal year due to drops in interest rates nationwide.
System administrators also have scaled back anticipated revenue from in the line item titled
Donations/Other Grants. Between fiscal years 1994-1995 and 1999-2000 revenue in that
category met or exceeded expectations for the operating budget. However, in the last two years
revenue has fallen below projections. In the 2000-2001 fiscal year the budget anticipated revenue
of$78,718,but the actual amount collected was$34,353.In the 2001-2002 fiscal year the budget
anticipated revenue of$80,000,but the actual amount collected was$33,449.The current fiscal
year budget anticipated revenue of$300,000. As of the end of March revenue collected was
$92,370.The figure does not include an anticipated$40,000 donation from the Friends of the
Library.
The one category projected to increase—Fines/Copy Charges/Intergovernmental—is
expected to increase for four reasons:
4
• 1. Increased circulation—The Library is seeing circulation rising system-wide,
• and fines and collections are expected to keep pace.
2. Increased fees for non-resident library cards—The proposed budget includes
a hike in the charge for non-resident library cards from$40 a year to$80 a year.
It should be noted that"non-resident cards"mean cards issued to people living
outside Salt Lake County.The Library System has a reciprocal agreement with
the Salt Lake County Library System in which City library cards are honored at
County libraries and vice versa. Library administrators estimate that$80 is
roughly the same cost City residents pay per year in property taxes. The$80
includes repayment of the$84 million bond issued to build the new Main
Library,expand two branches,and build the plaza and underground parking
structure.The Library System issues 382 non-resident cards in calendar year
2000;454 cards in calendar year 2001;and 440 cards in calendar year 2002.
Between January 1 and April 30,2003,the System issued 649 non-resident
library cards.
3. Lease revenue—Since discussions of leasing space in the new Main Library's
Urban Room and outside wall began more than a year ago Library System
administrators consistently have estimated revenue from those leases at about
$60,000 per year.
4. Rental fees for use of meeting rooms—The Library Board of Directors adopted
a policy and fee schedule in April to charge for some use of meeting rooms. The
center of the policy is a statement that generally the Library System will not
charge for use of meeting rooms.However, meetings that run more than four
hours and require either food or audiovisual equipment may be considered
conferences and be charged fees.Fees also may be charged to groups that request
audiovisual equipment set up or assistance or that request food. A copy of the
policy and fee schedule is attached to this report.
PROPOSED EXPENDITURE BUDGET BY MAJOR CATEGORY
Major Category Adopted Proposed Difference Percent
2002-03 2003-04 Change
Personal Services $ 7,686,800 $ 7,560,000 $ (126,800) -1.65%
Materials/Supplies 1,970,606 1,655,313 (315,293) -16.00%
Charges/Services 859,000 684,000 (175,000) -20.37%
Capital Outlay&Improvements 4,339,500 1,708,000 (2,631,500) 60.65%
Operating Contingency 950,000 100,000 (850,000) -89.47%
Total $ 15,805,906 $ 11,707,313 $(4,098,593) -25.93%
CAPITAL OUTLAY&IMPROVEMENTS—OPERATING CONTINGENCY
The above table indicates that the largest drops in projected expenses would occur in the
Capital Outlay&Improvements and Operating Contingency categories.The drops appear to
reflect projected drops in capital and contingency fund balances on the revenue side.The
proposed budget earmarks $733,000 for the daily maintenance of buildings, grounds and
equipment in the next fiscal year. Most projected line items in that category would remain the
5
same as the current fiscal year's adopted budget except for a projected$105,000 decrease in
payments for contract services and a projected$3,500 increase in anticipated costs for water.
•
According to the proposed budget,contract services include computer service and .
maintenance, elevator maintenance,security,trash collection,recycling, indoor plant
maintenance, elevator maintenance, copier and alarm service contracts, window washing; and
fountain maintenance.
Of the remaining$975,000 earmarked for the System's capital improvements program,
the budget proposes to set aside$700,000 for future allocations for a new branch library in the
southwest section of Salt Lake City. Another$150,000 is earmarked for capital repairs, $65,000
for contingency, $50,000 for technology replacement,and$10,000 for vehicle replacement.
PERSONAL SERVICES
At$7,560,000,the Personal Services category makes up 64 percent of expenditures in the
proposed budget, The expenditure table indicates that the$7.56 million targeted for personal
services is a 1.65 percent decrease from the current year's adopted budget. The decrease reflects
the Library System's effort to cut personnel costs at a time when the System has added personnel
at the new Main Library.The current year's adopted budget indicates that at the start of the
current fiscal year the Library System employed 232 positions that equaled 154.7 full-time
equivalent positions. According to an attached fact sheet,the Library System employed about 275
full-time and part-time workers as of April 2003.
To cut personnel expenses,the Library System's proposed budget contemplates cutting
eight full-time equivalent positions in the next fiscal year. It also contemplates starting to change •
the way employees' health insurance benefits are apportioned.
According to System administrators,they hope to reduce the eight full-time equivalent
positions through attrition.Three of the positions are vacant,and the remaining five positions
may be eliminated by September. System administrators are concentrating on full-time equivalent
positions because the positions also include benefit packages. If attrition fails to eliminate the
positions,the proposed budget includes a$7,000 increase over the current year's$8,000
allocation for state unemployment compensation.
The largest decrease in the category is a 21.5 percent decrease in employees' insurance
from$709,446 in the current year's adopted budget to$556,789 in the proposed budget. There
are two reasons for the projected decrease. First,the Library System changed from the Public
Employees Health Program for Salt Lake City to a different PEHP program. As a result,
premiums diminished. Second,the Library System is working toward paying all employees the
same benefit, and leaving employees with a partner or family dependents to pay the cost of
insuring them.The program will be phased in over three years,but the anticipated savings in the
next fiscal year will be close to$200,000,according to administrators.
In addition,the proposed budget includes no merit increases for employees but
contemplates a 2 percent wage increase in January if there is enough revenue.
MATERIALS/SUPPLIES
The next largest category involves projected expenditures for materials and supplies. The
proposed budget reflects a planned$310,293 reduction in spending for all materials from the •
6
•
current fiscal year's adopted budget. Roughly half the projected reduction will come from the
purchase of fewer books and reference sources. According to the proposed budget,the System
will buy fewer duplicate titles which may mean residents will have to wait longer to check out
books in high demand.The budget proposes to cut another$100,000 in allocations for sound and
visual recordings. Again,the emphasis will be on buying fewer duplicate titles.The budget also
proposes to spend about$30,000 less than the current year's adopted budget on magazine and
newspaper subscriptions. Other items such as supplies and outsourcing will be reduced.
CHARGES/SERVICES
This category includes items such as programming, publicity,the Salt Lake City
administrative charge,insurance, and utility charges. The proposed budget projects a 15.2 percent
decrease from the current year's adopted budget of$1,183,000 to$1,003,000.The largest
decrease appears in anticipated programming costs. The proposed budget earmarks$130,000 for
the next fiscal year versus$255,000 in the current year's adopted budget.The proposed budget
also would spend about$31,000 less than the current year's budget for publicity. It also would
eliminate outsourcing preparing the Library System's books and other materials before they are
put on shelves and cut the cost of cataloging the materials. Both reductions are related to
proposed spending reductions for books,periodicals and audiovisual items.
Anticipated costs for telephone and postage are projected to remain the same as the
current fiscal year at$125,000 and$100,000 respectively.The projected cost of insurance is
expected to increase from$100,000 in the current fiscal year to$175,000.
•
OTHER ISSUES
SUNDAY BRANCH SERVICE:
The proposed budget contemplates reducing Sunday service at the Day-Riverside and
Sprague branch libraries.The City Council may wish to determine whether the branches would
be closed on Sundays or open for fewer hours.The City Council may wish to explore whether
Sunday service at the two branches could remain at the same levels as the adopted budget for the
current fiscal years.
PARKING FEES AT THE MAIN LIBRARY:
When the new Main Library opened the Library System instituted a charge for public
parking for patrons in the second level of the parking garage underneath the new library.The
charge for parking in the second level is:first half-hour free and 75 cents per half hour after that.
The Library System signed a contract with a parking garage operator before the new
Main Library opened. According to System administrators,the contract was initiated only after
discussions with the City Administration about it,and the City Administration did not indicate
that charging for parking would be a problem.
The System had contemplated charging for parking as early as the year 2000. According
to a flier titled A New Main Library, Questions and Answers Update February 2000,the second
question on the flier was,"Will there be parking?Will it be free?"The answer below the question
• reads:"An underground parking garage of 600 stalls will be constructed under the New Main
Library for both public and employee parking. In order to preserve the parking for library patrons
it may be necessary to employ a combination of free validation and fees for parking."

According to System administrators,the current charges for parking were designed to
•
protect parking spaces for patrons and to build a reserve to maintain at least the Library System's
patron parking spaces.
However, it is City Council staff's understanding that the City Attorney's Office has
given an informal opinion that the parking garage belongs to Salt Lake City, and the City is
responsible for setting fees for parking. It also is City Council staff's understanding that the
Administration is preparing an agreement to establish parameters between the City and the
Library System on responsibilities for establishing fees for City-owned property. Library
administrators indicated that as of May 1,they had not seen a copy of the agreement.
The City Council may wish to discuss the issue with Library System and Administration
representatives. The Council also may wish to discuss whether the level of parking fees is
appropriate and whether a validation system for patrons would be worthwhile.

Strategic Plan 2002-2005 A •
• THE CITY LIBRARY
THE SALT LAKE CITY PUBLIC LIBRARY SYSTEM
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The 2003-2004 budget year poses one of the most difficult challenges in the history of the City
Library. The opening of the new Main Library and the expansion of branch facilities have prompted
record-breaking use of the facilities and services of the Library. The economic downturn and
subsequent reduction of over 6%in property tax revenues is now leading to a severe operating shortfall
for the Library in tandem with unprecedented demand and use. In the first few months of opening the
new Main Library, visits to the building have tripled and circulation of materials has almost doubled.
The additional irony is that the Library Board of Directors and the Salt Lake City Council planned
effectively to support the new facilities with a tax increase in 1999. Unfortunately, that increase has
now been severely reduced and therefore reductions in services, staff and collections will be necessary
to live within the expected revenues for the coming year.
This budget for 2003-2004 requires:
❖ A reduction in staff of approximately eight benefited employees
46 An 18%reduction in purchasing of new materials
A 50%reduction in funding for programs
❖ Closure of Sunday service hours at the Day-Riverside and Sprague Branch Libraries
❖ Elimination of merit increases for staff during 2003-2004. Only the wage adjustment of 2%for
employees in January 2004 will be supported
❖ Reduction of employer contribution to insurance premiums for double and family coverage to
reduce current subsidies over the next three years
❖ A 15%reduction in the Services budget, such as travel,printing and supplies.
Continuing efforts are being implemented for cost containment measures such as self-checkout
circulation services, improved maintenance systems to control utility costs and centralized selection of
materials, and program planning to reduce labor costs.
The City Library will also seek to supplement revenues by increasing fees for nonresident library
cards, including new revenue from leases, conferences and after-hours use of facilities. Fund raising
efforts will continue, as will efforts to secure grant funding and program partnerships where
appropriate.
Even with the unexpected and serious decline in revenues, Salt Lake City and the City Library can take
justifiable pride in the overwhelming success of the new facilities and the continued growth in use and
demand for library services. Every effort will be made in the coming year to manage these reductions
responsibly and wisely for the citizens we serve and to respond constructively to the opportunities
resented with this renaissance in library service for Salt Lake City.
Page 1 4/17/03
INCOME AND REVENUES
THE PRESENT
The tax rate set for 2002-2003 of.000755 generated $619,480 less in property tax revenues than
anticipated. This follows a loss of$105,302 of tax revenue experienced in 2001-2002. Interest
revenue has also dropped in proportion to lower investment rates. These reductions have come
while the City Library has remodeled one branch library, expanded two branch libraries, and
opened the new Main Library.
THE FUTURE
Difficult as these fiscal constraints are, and in recognition of challenging economic conditions, the
City Library Board of Directors is not requesting an increase in the property tax rate for the 2003-
2004 fiscal year. In 1999-2000, the Salt Lake City Council committed to an increase in the tax rate
in anticipation of the support necessary for the new Main Library and expanded branches. The
shortfalls experienced over the past two years have seriously reduced the revenues necessary to
fulfill this intention. Use at every location is increasing with the new Main Library sustaining a
pattern of growth of close to double the 2002 circulation numbers.
Every effort has been made, however, to supplement and diversify the budget with revenues from
leased spaces, fund raising, and fees for after-hours use of library facilities. The City Library
instituted cost containment strategies in a variety of areas, including conservative staff growth for
expanded facilities, increased use of volunteers, and more efficient mechanical systems. Even with
these measures, the level of reductions projected for the next year will necessitate reductions in
staff, services, and collections to stay within the projected budget. The Board and staff recommend
the following austerity measures for 2003-2004:
❖ Reduce staff by eight full-time employees.
❖ Freeze merit increases for staff during 2003-2004.
❖ Reduce materials expenditures by approximately 18%.
❖ Reduce Sunday service hours at the Day-Riverside and Sprague Branch Libraries. Sunday
hours at the Main Library will be supported by staff throughout the System.
❖ Reduce funds for programs throughout the System by almost 50%.
❖ Begin process to eliminate current subsidy for insurance premiums for double and family
coverage.
Many other budget areas have also been reduced to achieve the required reductions, including
supplies and travel. •

GENERAL PROPERTY TAX
Two years of reduced property tax revenues have prompted careful fiscal planning and
resource allocation. The recent reductions came during the most explosive increase in use seen in
the history of the Library with the opening of the new Main Library. Circulation at the Main
Library has averaged over double last year's use, and all branches show substantial increases as
well. Visits to the Main Library have more than doubled in the new facility. The increased
operating revenues for new and expanded facilities supported by the Salt Lake City Council with a
tax rate increase in 1999-2000 have now been significantly reduced with the changed economic
picture.
COPY MACHINES AND SUNDRY REVENUE
The City Library provides copy machines at each location as a service to the public and to
reduce vandalism, destruction, and loss of library materials. This is especially useful in the case of
periodicals and reference books which may not be checked out from the Library. Use of copy
machines and subsequent revenue continues to decrease due to the provision of more electronic
• information services.
FINES AND COLLECTIONS
Based upon the increased use the City Library is seeing at all locations, we project an
increase in fines for 2003-2004. The Library Board of Directors has also determined that an
increase in the fee charged for nonresident library cards is necessary under these conditions. We
propose that the fee be doubled from $40.00 to $80.00 per year resulting in approximately$10,000
in new revenue.
INTEREST
Interest rates have dropped significantly and continue to result in decreased revenue for both
operating and capital funds.

BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS
HIGHLIGHTS
The public investment in capital improvements for the City Library has been significant. The
children's area at the Chapman Branch Library was remodeled in the fall 2002, the new Main
Library opened in February 2003, and the expansion of the Anderson-Foothill Branch Library was
completed in March 2003.
The proposed budget reflects the costs for maintaining these newly enlarged facilities. Designs
were developed to conserve resources and reduce utility costs whenever feasible.
FUTURE PRIORITIES
Priorities for 2003-2004 will include:
❖ Continual use of efficiencies to save costs and provide safe, comfortable buildings.
❖ Continual monitoring of utilities to conserve costs whenever possible.
❖ Develop and sustain creative and complementary partnerships with future tenants of existing
Main Library.
❖ Conduct a post occupancy survey of the new Main Library.
❖ Ensure commitment to ongoing capital improvement funding and plan.
❖ Initiate planning process for proposed southwest branch library.
❖ Work in concert with City and other interested parties to complete development of the
Library Square block.

BUILDINGS-MAINTENANCE
Last year's budget baseline recognized extra costs needed to operate the new Main Library
•
and expanded branch libraries; therefore, no additional funding is requested this year. The ability to
project costs to maintain a much larger Main Library is challenging. With the increased square
footage at the branches and the new Main Library,we anticipate no change in this budget center this
year. Every effort will be made to control costs.
EQUIPMENT-MAINTENANCE
This budget supports ongoing maintenance costs of all equipment (not currently on
maintenance contracts).
BUILDINGS AND EQUIPMENT-CONTRACT SERVICES
The City Library routinely contracts for a variety of services when outsourcing is a more
efficient and economical solution. This category includes such things as computer service and
maintenance contracts, elevator maintenance, security, garbage removal, recycling, indoor plant
maintenance, copier and alarm service contracts, window washing, and fountain maintenance.
•
Page 10 4/17/03
Austerity measures will be implemented to reduce the frequency and scope of some contracts where
possible.
EQUIPMENT PURCHASES
Recent capital improvements will reduce needs in this area for 2003-2004.
UTILITIES
No increase is requested for utilities. Although the Library does not yet have a full year of
experience to confidently project costs of the new Main Library, it is expected that the funds in this
budget center should be adequate for this year. Designs were developed to conserve energy and
reduce future costs, and the first few months appear to be on track.
MOTOR EQUIPMENT-SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
This account covers operational and maintenance costs related to the City Library's delivery
and maintenance vehicles. The Library also has one vehicle for outreach services to the
community.

RENT-PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Current allocation of funds should be adequate for 2003-2004.
WATER
With increases in water costs, additional funds are needed in this account.
Page 11 4/17/03
MATERIALS
The City Library continues its commitment to high quality collections by sustaining a significant
portion of the operating budget for materials acquisition. Funds authorized by the Salt Lake City
Council to operate the new Main Library were devoted to collection development for three years.
Thousands of new items were available to patrons on opening day February 8, 2003. Ongoing
funds for this budget are approximately 12.45% of the operating budget being devoted to this -
critical purpose.
HIGHLIGHTS
In 2002-2003:
❖ Significantly increased book and audiovisual collections at all locations with particular
emphasis on strengthening the Main Library collection.
❖ Improved and increased collections in support of growing and culturally diverse
communities. To be responsive to a variety of cultures and literatures, the City Library
selected books, periodicals, and audiovisual materials in many languages. Over 90
• languages are now represented in our collection.
❖ Continued to enlarge the popular digital video disc(DVD) collection.
•3 Increased the provision of access to on-line resources and collections through Pioneer, a
cooperative statewide library and education network, and other web-based informational
services.
❖ Centralized collection development for more efficient and effective selection and acquisition
of materials.
FUTURE PRIORITIES
Priorities for 2003-2004 will include:
❖ A substantial and significant cut in dollars available for materials which will preclude an
expanded collection for the Main Library and branch locations. The goal this year will be to
maintain the integrity and quality of the collections the City Library has developed over the
years, a challenge that will be particularly difficult given a huge increase in circulation at the
new Main Library(150% over the first two months of operation in 2003). The Library will
spend significantly Tess (12.5%) than the 16% of the operating budget called for in the
strategic plan.
Page 12 4/17/03
❖ Cuts to the materials budget will be distributed on a fairly even percentage basis. The
Library will try to buy as many titles as before but will purchase fewer duplicates. This will
maintain the depth and breadth of the current collection but will translate into patrons
waiting longer for titles they request while staff work harder to hold requested items and
transfer them from one location to another. Because of purchases made in anticipation of
strengthening the opening day collection at the new Main Library, we will not purchase
maps,prints and slides,but these are not significant savings.
❖ A newly centralized selection team will evaluate and analyze departmental and branch
collections to assure that materials are distributed where they are most needed within the
System. This coordination of selections saves both time and money.

The primary mission of the City Library is to provide access to information and ideas
through materials and services for all members of the community. The Library's ability to fund the
materials budget at adequate levels is a continual challenge under the most optimal circumstances
due to increased fixed costs, the continually rising cost of materials, and increasing demand for
materials in a growing variety of formats. The infusion of funds over the past three years has
helped greatly to improve the strength of the fundamental core collections at the Main Library. This
budget reflects not only a shift in funds from one-time collection development to operating costs for
the new Main Library, but a decrease of 22%, or $380,857, from what the Library would normally
dedicate to materials,which is 16%of the operating budget.
BINDING
This budget reflects a minimal amount required to bind back issues of well used magazines.
Binding periodicals is vital for the City Library's ability to organize and protect its in-depth
magazine collection. Even with the increase in access to back issues of magazines on-line, many
patrons prefer the original hard copy edition and binding enables the Library to effectively store and
protect the collection.
Page 14 4/17/03
BOOKS AND REFERENCE SOURCES
Patron surveys and comments continually emphasize the need to place a high priority on
library collections and resources. Use of traditional print resources continues to grow, and the City
Library strives to sustain book collections while also experiencing exponential demand for other
formats. Fewer duplicate titles, especially in audiovisual formats, will translate into patrons waiting
longer for titles they request while staff work harder to hold requested items and transfer them from
one location to another.
CD-ROMS/CIRCULATING
This format will be reduced because of decreased demand.
COMPUTER REFERENCE SOURCES
The City Library faces a continual demand for delivery of information products to the
Library, homes, and businesses. This budget requires a reevaluation of current on-line resources to
discontinue data bases that are less used or may be similar to other available data bases. Also, the
Library will renew licenses for some on-line products for library use only. Fewer resources
available on a dial-up basis will be an inconvenience to library users and reverses a longstanding
goal.
FEE-BASED REFERENCE SERVICES
Fee-based reference services provide access to hundreds of data bases containing both
bibliographic and primary source information in a wide range of subjects. In recent years, some of
this material has been made available over the Internet at no cost, thus allowing a significant cost
containment in this budget area.
MAPS
Acquisition of maps in anticipation of strengthening the collection for the new Main Library
allows us to forgo purchases this year. The savings will be about$500.

PERIODICALS
Magazines and newspapers remain a vital source of current and historical information for
patrons. Use of the magazine collections throughout the City Library System is already heavy.
With improved indexing and access, use will continue to grow. Over the past four years, the
Library has attempted to control costs by absorbing subscription increases through the
corresponding reduction of less-used titles. New titles have been added in preparation for the move
to the new Main Library, and multiple copies of some titles will be added to meet demand for both
reference and circulating issues. The Library has also supported the development of"zines," small
and independently produced newsletters of particular interest to teen patrons. This budget requires
a reevaluation of subscriptions and the elimination of less popular and less-used titles, a
considerable loss to those patrons who, though fewer in number, find these publications important
and useful. The Library will also use circulating issues from branches to replace lost issues for the
Main Library collection and will purchase some newspapers from vendors who are less expensive
but cannot deliver the publications as quickly and timely as library patrons are accustomed to.
111,
PRINTS AND SLIDES
We will purchase no prints and slides in this budget cycle.
SOUND RECORDINGS
Circulation in sound recordings continues to rise at all locations, especially in the area of
compact discs and books-on-tape/compact discs. We will purchase fewer copies, and patrons will
have to wait longer for high demand items.
VISUAL RECORDINGS
Demand for materials in the videocassette format is lessening to a degree as the DVD format
becomes more common and popular. However, both formats are very popular and heavily used.
With such heavy use, standard titles must be replaced on an ongoing basis. This budget will mean
fewer copies and more selective replacement.

PERSONNEL
HIGHLIGHTS
The City Library developed excellent staff and volunteer programs that allow for a high level of
reference and readers' advisory service as well as materials and programs that promote open access
to information. Library staff delivers outstanding service to all members of the Salt Lake
community. During 2002-2003,the Library:
❖ Implemented a revised staffing plan; hired and trained staff and substitutes to support the
opening of the new Main Library and the expansion of the Anderson-Foothill and Chapman
Branch Libraries.
❖ Vastly increased the size of the volunteer program by using volunteers to assist patrons in
the use of technology, performing clerical tasks, support of programming, and serving the
homebound patron.
❖ Shifted employee benefit management to the Library from Salt Lake City Corporation,
realizing savings in health insurance and payroll costs.

FUTURE PRIORITIES
Priorities for 2003-2004 will include:
❖ Renewed focus on the training plan to increase staff flexibility. Staff will need ever-
expanding skills.
❖ Continued growth and expansion of the volunteer program.
❖ Review cost containment of staff benefits and initiate process to eliminate subsidy for
insurance premiums for double and family coverage.
❖ Maintain staff utilization data for continuous monitoring of staffing levels.
❖ Strategies to recognize and reward staff for exemplary performance in lieu of merit-based
pay raises.

TOTAL PERSONNEL $ 7,686,800 $7,560,000
The City Library has proven to have a strong, well educated, well trained staff. The staff
works in an environment where cross training is a given and staff develop additional skills each
year.
110 The volunteer program has become extremely important. The role of the volunteer has
broadened with the opening of a new, larger main library. The numbers have leapt from over 600
volunteers in 2001 to over 900 volunteers contributing 14,000 hours in 2002, with the program
doubling in size the first quarter of 2003.
SALARIES AND WAGES
The City Library added some new staff due to the new, larger Main Library building, but
designed that building to maximize a leaner staff. This budget reflects a loss of salaried positions,
and the temporary halt of the Library's merit program. Monies in support of Sunday hours have
been deleted leaving Sunday support hours to come from departments throughout the System. Lost
service hours will come from all library locations. If funding permits, a 2% wage adjustment will
be granted in January 2004 in an attempt to keep library positions viable in the library field.
Page 18 4/17/03
EMPLOYEES' INSURANCE
The City Library is a new member of the PEHP Utah Local Governments Trust. As a cost I)
containment measure, the Library has realigned the staff portion of health insurance premiums. The
Library desires to eventually payout an equal amount for each salaried staff member. Corrected
over a three-year period, the Library will discontinue the practice of subsidizing staff who select
double or family coverage. Retirees' insurance and Workers Compensation costs have risen.
SOCIAL SECURITY
The City Library will experience a lower Social Security cost due to increased staff use of
pretax dollars for health coverage.
RETIREMENT
The City Library's rate of 8.69% has increased to 9.62% with the Utah State Retirement
System. The Library no longer has staff on the more expensive contributory system.
STATE UNEMPLOYMENT COMPENSATION
The City Library has increased this line in anticipation of reducing salaries by a reduction in
force of attrition is not sufficient to reduce full-time employees.
UTAH TRANSIT AUTHORITY
The City Library will continue to promote its transit pass program to staff to reduce the need
for employee parking.

SERVICES
HIGHLIGHTS
Major highlights of 2002-2003:
Outreach efforts continue to grow and expand. Our goal is to provide information about the -
City Library, its collections, resources, programs, and services to all members of the
community, and to promote equity of access for the traditionally underserved populations of
Salt Lake City. These include new and nonreaders, people with disabilities, new immigrants
and refugees, people in poverty, and the people whose social diversity is based on race,
ethnicity, age, or other differences. The Library has participated in such events as Cinco de
Mayo celebrations; the Great Salt Lake Book Festival; street fairs in the Avenues, Sugar
House and the City's west side; Earth Day celebrations at Hogle Zoo and Tracy Aviary; the
Utah Issues Poverty Conference; and the Kids Fair at the Neuropsychiatric Institute.
❖ Attendance at programs is increasing as the City Library broadens the range and depth of
topics and speakers. Bilingual reading and discussion programs, concert series, and
multicultural holiday programs represent just a few of the many free events hosted by the
Library in 2002-2003. A special project entitled We Save Them?/They Save Us? featured
• artwork by refugee youth, an Amnesty International Refugee Film Festival and discussions.
The theme of the popular summer reading program was "Slide Into Summer With Books."
The Salt Lake Stingers, KUTV, Big-D Construction, and the Friends of the Library were
sponsors. Teens participated in Make A Racket, a summer series which featured a zine
workshop, self-improvement techniques, and a dance workshop. In March 2003, James
Burke kicked off the first annual Dewey Lecture Series, drawing an audience of 500.
❖ The City Library collaborated with many other organizations and agencies to leverage funds
and develop strategic alliances. We are actively working with groups such as Global
Artways, Downtown Alliance, Utah Humanities Council, Utah Science Center, local radio
and television stations, local businesses, and Salt Lake City Corporation.
The new library logo was unveiled and printed on street banners announcing the opening of
the new Main Library.
FUTURE PRIORITIES
Priorities for 2003-2004 will include:
❖ Continue to develop partnerships with local civic, cultural, and media organizations to
enhance the quality of programs and increase the effectiveness of publicity while reducing
library funding for such programs significantly.
Page 20 4/17/03
❖ Develop an informational campaign to promote the benefits of owning a City Library card.
Our goal is to issue a library card to every Salt Lake City citizen. 411
❖ Continue the successful Dewey Lecture Series but at a reduced level. Seek community and
corporate partners who will help us draw high-caliber speakers and share in the marketing
and expense of hosting such a series.
❖ Host the Salt Lake Book Festival at the new Main Library. Working with established
festival organizers, broaden the scope and range of authors appearing at this two-day event
and increased attendance.

CATALOGING CHARGES
The majority of these expenditures are spent through the City Library's contract with OCLC
(On-line Computer Library Center, Inc.), who provides us with the BCR (Bibliographic Center for
Research) pricing plans for cataloging library materials. In the past, the Library has taken
advantage of BCR's fixed-fee pricing plan, wherein the costs are fixed and determined by the
previous year's volume. With a decrease to the Library's materials budget, we will forgo this
pricing plan during 2003-2004 and will resume this pricing plan when it again becomes cost
effective.
In addition to OCLC charges, the Library uses this fund to pay for outsourcing the
acquisition and cataloging of many of the 90 international languages represented in the Library's
collection.
40 The decrease in this budget center is a result of purchasing fewer materials this budget year.
Page 22 4/17/03
CITY ADMINISTRATIVE CHARGE
These charges from Salt Lake City Corporation are administrative fees for the City Library's 111
related costs for City Council,budget/policy, and cash management.
COPIER/PRINTER SUPPLIES
Because of the increased number of computers systemwide and the high volume of Internet
use, this budget must be increased which mirrors the increased usage of the new Main Library, as
well as the branches. This budget covers the costs of toner and paper for public computer printers
and public copiers throughout the City Library System. Due to the popularity of the Internet, use of
public printers has increased significantly while copier use has declined. In an effort to reduce toner
costs for the public computer printers, the toner cartridges are refilled as many times as possible
before new cartridges are purchased.
INSURANCE
The City Library practices careful application of risk management principles and regular
competitive bidding to ensure the best coverage for the lowest cost. Even with careful management,
insurance premiums are constantly increasing. The increase of 78% for the Library's insurance
coverage for 2003 was reflective of the completed new Main Library, expanded branches, along
with increased insurance costs nationwide. The policy includes earthquake and terrorism coverage.
LIBRARY SUPPLIES
With a decrease in the materials budget,this budget center can be reduced slightly. Supplies
are purchased in bulk in order to contain costs and to obtain favorable discounts, but packaging and
processing materials in the newer formats (CD-ROMs and CDs)cost more.
OFFICE SUPPLIES
Every effort will be made to contain costs and seek efficiencies in this area.

OUTSOURCING
This fund was established in fiscal year 1999-2000 to assist the Technical Services
Department in handling the extra load of new materials needed. These services will be curtailed for
2003-2004 with the reduction in purchasing materials.
PAYROLL PROCESSING CHARGE
The City Library uses independent vendors to process payroll checks and administer the
Library's Section 125 Cafeteria Plan.
POSTAGE
With current postal rates and increased library circulation, which results in more overdue
notices, this budget center should be maintained. Mailing The City Library News, the Library's
quarterly newsletter, to all Salt Lake City residents twice each year during the spring and the fall
has been a powerful tool for informing residents of what is happening at the Library. In order to
maintain this budget center, we will reduce the city-wide mailing to once during 2003-2004.
PROFESSIONAL AND TECHNICAL 4IP)
This budget supports funding for the annual financial audit, attorneys' fees, memberships in
professional activities and organizations, and the occasional use of an outside consultant for library
projects. The reduction in this area is related to the decrease in attorney consultations.
PROGRAMMING
This budget center has been reduced significantly in recognition that last year's plan was for
a one-time increase for the opening events and programming of the new Main Library. Demand
and interest for public programming and interpretive events continue to grow. Plans are in place to
stimulate civic dialogue by bringing nationally acclaimed speakers before the community through
the Dewey Lecture Series of Distinguished Guests which began in March 2003. A fund-raising
campaign is ongoing to fund these programs.
•
Page 24 4/17/03
PUBLICITY
11) This adjusted budget should be adequate to maintain needed publicity and printing needs for
2003-2004.
STAFF TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT
The City Library continues to build an excellent staff and to support a training program that
encourages staff to expand their expertise and knowledge in support of library goals. The reduction
is necessary to be able to support other budget centers.
SUNDRY EXPENSE
There are a number of various, small expenses that are not easily categorized, such as
advertising for procurement bids, advertising for job openings, staff identification badges, and
miscellaneous expenses. This budget center supports these expenses. Other sundry expense items
will be monitored in an effort to reduce this budget center.
TELEPHONE
With the upgrade and expansion of the telephone system, the City Library is better able to
serve patrons. Steps will be taken to make the best use of telephone equipment in an effort to
maintain the costs.
TRAVEL
This account pays the travel-related expenses for library staff and board members to attend
conferences, meetings, and workshops. In addition, all mileage allowances are paid out of this
budget center at the reimbursement rate of 30 cents per mile. Travel will be reduced this year in
order to support other needed budget centers.

• MEMORANDUM
DATE: May 6, 2003
TO: Council Members
FROM: Michael Sears
RE: Amended Resolution and Loan Agreement with KUTV
The Council discussed the proposed loan to KUTV Channel 2 during the January 14, 2003 work
session and the Redevelopment Agency of Salt Lake (RDA) Board of Directors' January
meeting. Since the briefings in January the Administration has been working with KUTV to
finalize the details of the $1.2 million loan. Attached is a revised resolution and contract that
contains all of the changes to the version approved by the Council.
The Council may wish to note the two changes that have occurred since Council Members were
first introduced to the idea of KUTV relocating to the Wells Fargo Building and adopted a
resolution authorizing a loan to KUTV.
I
• The agreement will be between Salt Lake City Corporation and KUTV Holdings, Inc.
The agreement will be backed by a Corporate Guarantee from CBS Televisions Stations,
Inc. The original resolution included Viacom.
• The agreement has been revised to clarify the in-kind repayment portion of the loan.
The transmittal from the Administration summarizes the terms of the in-kind portion of the debt
and clarifies the changes that have been made since the original resolution was adopted. The
Administration is requesting approval from the Council so that the loan agreement can be
executed and KUTV can move into the City.
OPTIONS
Council Members may wish to adopt the proposed resolution authorizing the Mayor to sign the
KUTV loan agreement.

RE: Amended Resolution and Loan Agreement between Salt Lake City Corporation
and KUTV
STAFF CONTACT: Alison Weyher 535-7226
In January, Staff briefed the City Council on the proposed 5I?mm loan from the
Economic Development Revolving Loan Fund to KUTV. As the Administration and
KUTV have worked through the contract, several changes to the Resolution approved by
the Council have occurred. Attached is a revised Resolution and the contract, both of
which have been approved by the city Attorney's office and the Viacom attorneys.
ID Significant changes to the Resolution are as follows:
1. The Agreement will be between Salt Lake City Corporation and KUTV Holdings, and
backed by a Corporate Guarantee from CBS Television Stations, Inc. (See Section 3.03
of the Loan Agreement). The original resolution included Viacom however, CBS
Television Stations, Inc. is the owner of the television station subsidiary of Viacom, and
is thus the appropriate legal entity to enter into the contract.
2. Considerable clarification to the in-kind repayment section of the loan has been added.
Specifically, those changes include:
a. There shall be no maximum amount of the in-king portion of the debt that can
be repaid annually. This change will allow Salt Lake City to maximize the
amount of in kind service obtained as we focus on the Downtown area and
generate maximum dollar value, rather than depreciation over the fifteen year
period of the contract.
b. The in-kind commitment will be reviewed every six months, rather than
annually. This allows both Salt Lake City Corp. and KUTV to present more
timely campaigns responding to market issues.
c. In the event that Salt Lake City Corp. and KUTV cannot reach agreement on
in-kind services for two consecutive six month periods, a third party mediator
shall be employed for non-binding mediation. If no agreement is reached, the
City's proposal shall be given preference. or KUTV will make a cash payment for
the year. Cash payments will be no more than S33,333.34 annually.

that Resolution No. 4 of 2003 be, and is hereby, amended to read as follows:
1. The City Council does hereby approve a loan in the amount of$1.2 million •
from Salt Lake City to KUTV Holdings, Inc. to purchase equipment needed

that may be repaid annually. A schedule establishing the minimum amount
and the nature of in-kind services to be repaid shall be deteiiiiined every six
months between the City and KUTV, with annual review and comment by the
City Council, so long as an in-kind balance remains due. Because it is in both
parties' best interests that the in-kind portion be repaid quickly, every effort
shall be made to accommodate each party's needs. In the event that proposals
are made by either party, but no agreement is reached for two consecutive six
month periods, the matter shall be submitted to a third party mediator for non-
binding mediation. The costs of retaining the mediator shall be equally borne
by the parties. If no agreement is reached after such non-binding mediation,
the City's proposal shall be given preference, provided that in no event shall
KUTV be required, against its wishes, to provide more than the cash
equivalent of$33,333.34 in-kind per year. •
• The cash equivalent of any unpaid balance of the in-kind portion of the
loan remaining as of the expiration of the said fifteen year teen shall be due
and payable upon default or at the expiration of the said fifteen year term,

$500,000.00 cash portion of the loan. KUTV's in-kind services shall not
include any charge for production costs, except for direct out-of-pocket costs,
and KUTV shall agree to run downtown promotional spots at two-for-the-
price-of-one on the C card rate, the station's current lowest rate, or on the
station's then lowest rate when the spots are run. So long as the annual
minimum in kind services are paid by KUTV as provided herein, said services
shall be made on a time available basis such that the City shall not have
priority over KUTV's regular customers.
Should the KUTV Television Studio move out of the building at 299

balance of the cash owed and the cash equivalent of the balance of in-kind
services still owed, shall be immediately due and payable. All payments shall
be applied first to late fees, then to service fees, then to interest, if applicable,
and then to principal.
The loan shall be secured by a first lien on the equipment purchased with
the loan proceeds and by a corporate guaranty of CBS Television Stations,

Re: Fiscal and Economic Impact of Nordstrom's Potential Relocation __
Dear Ms. Jenson:
Thank you for the opportunity to assist the City in the analysis of the fiscal
and economic impact of Nordstrom's potential relocation from Crossroads
Mall to the Gateway or close the current Crossroads Mall location.
The balance of this engagement letter outlines our data needs, scope of
work,proposed budget and schedule. We envision a final report quite
similar in content and organization to our analysis of the proposed Grand
Salt Lake Mall completed for the City in May of 2000.
•
We are confident(with data from the City)that we can answer many
of your
research questions quantitatively. (Questions you sent via e-mail on
Monday April 28th.) However, some of the questions require more
informed judgment about mall operations than we possess.
The scope of work discussion below clearly identifies those questions we
can answer using our methodology, and those questions that would need to
be answered by a shopping mall expert.
Data to be Provided by the City
• Most recent City budget to update our 2000 fiscal model.
• Estimated square footage and aggregated sales tax performance for
Gateway, Crossroads, ZCMI and Main Street shopping district.
• If possible,provide the same data as above for the other dozen SLC
metro area malls (these other malls were included in the Grand Salt Lake
Mall Analysis in 2000).
• Detailed sales and property tax data for Nordstrom.
In order to meet the presentation deadlines for next week this data must be
received by the close of business on Wednesday, May 7th.

Scope of Work
The following scope of work is organized according to the e-mailed questions. We have
indicated how we could respond to each question. "N/A" signifies that our methodology based
on the fiscal impact model,Urban Land Institute (ULI) and Federal Consumer Expenditure
Survey(CES) data is not suitable to answer that particular question.
• How much sales tax does Nordstrom generate?
The City would provide us this data; we could compare it to other flagship anchors
nationally using ULI data. This comparison will help us to measure the relative financial
health and secondary impact of Nordstrom at Crossroads.
• How much property tax does Nordstrom generate?
The City would provide us this data; we could compare it to other flagship anchors
nationally using ULI data. This comparison will help us to measure the relative financial
health and secondary impact of Nordstrom at Crossroads.
• What is the potential impact on sales and property tax if Nordstrom moves to Gateway?
Using an updated version of our 2000 fiscal model for the City, we could "net out"the
change in direct tax revenue against the change in service delivery costs due to potentially
different store size and store age.
• What is the potential impact on sales &property tax if Nordstrom leaves the City?
Using an updated version of our 2000 fiscal model for the City, we could "net out"the direct
loss of revenue against direct service delivery costs.
• What is the potential impact on the viability of other businesses on Main Street if Nordstrom
leaves?
Using ULI data and our fiscal model, we could conduct sensitivity analysis on the financial
health of businesses and fiscal impact to the City resulting from a potential drop in Main
Street sales.
• Given experience in other cities,what is the likelihood that another major retail store would
move in to replace Nordstrom(Dillard's, etc.)?

• Given experience in other cities, is there a danger that office and other uses on Main Street
could shift to Gateway if retail shifts?
The answer to this question is clearly yes; however, our methodology cannot quantify the
likelihood of such a shift occurring.
• What is the impact on all three malls (i.e., Gateway, Crossroads,ZCMI) if Nordstrom leaves
Salt Lake City?
Using ULI data and our fiscal model, we could conduct sensitivity analysis on the financial
health of the malls and fiscal impact to the City resulting from a potential drop in sales due
to the absence of Nordstrom's drawing power.
• Can the Salt Lake City market support both the Gateway and the downtown shopping malls
(Crossroads &ZCMI) from an economic point-of-view?
Using Federal Consumer Expenditure Survey (CES) and ULI sales performance data, we
can quantify the size and geographic scope of the market for Gateway and the downtown
malls, and opine what type of capture rates will be required for all to survive.
• • Economically should these retail nodes be looked at as two individual centers, or should the
Gateway be considered a part of downtown?
See above answer.
• Might Nordstrom have more sales in the long-term in a downtown location or in Gateway?
Our methodology cannot answer this question. It is largely dependent on store specific
factors (e.g., store size, merchandising etc.) and macroeconomic factors beyond the City's or
property manager's control.
• What short-term economic impact would there be on Nordstrom if they stayed downtown
through a major construction project on the Crossroads Mall, as has been mentioned by the
new owners?
Using ULI data and our fiscal model, we could conduct sensitivity analysis on Nordstrom's
financial health and the fiscal impact to the City of a potential drop in sales due to
construction.

• From an economic point-of-view, is it in Nordstrom's interest to move to the Gateway or stay
downtown given the current situation, the planned construction and the planned significant
investment in the downtown area by the LDS Church?
N/A.
• How many of the tenants in the Crossroads Mall have tied their leases to the continued
presence of Nordstrom? What is the potential economic impact of this situation? Given
experience in other communities, what is the likelihood that other Crossroads tenants will
leave and go to Gateway if Nordstrom leaves?
The answer to this question depends upon the availability of proprietary lease data from the
property manager. We will seek to obtain a list of how many current Crossroads leases are
tied to the presence of Nordstrom., If we were able to obtain such data, we could use ULI
data to analyze the financial impact of certain stores leaving Crossroads on mall
performance.
• Gateway is considering adding a Target in addition to Nordstrom. The City has already
approved a Wal-Mart at 1300 South and 300 West. Are there economic issues the City
should be thinking about relating to this situation as well? Is there likelihood that the Target •
and Wal-Mart will have an impact on the downtown?
Using Federal Consumer Expenditure Survey (CES) and ULI sales performance data, we
can quantify the size and geographic scope of the market for both Wal-Mart and Target, and
opine as to the capture rates required for both stores to survive.
• If Nordstrom moves to Gateway,what will the economic impact on Gateway be? Is it
essential for Gateway to have Nordstrom in order to succeed?
N/A
• Since the LDS Church now owns both ZCMI and Crossroads Mall, and has announced plans
to reconfigure both blocks, adding housing and open space, the"look and feel" of Main
Street will change. How will that reconfiguration impact existing retailers?

• Zions Securities is considering urban"big box"development on the block between
State and Second East,between Social Hall and 100 South. What impact would the
presence of a major discount retailer at this location have on existing Main Street
businesses?
Using Federal Consumer Expenditure Survey (CES) and ULI sales performance
data, we can quantify the size and geographic scope of the market for this type of
development.
Budget
We can complete this project for a fixed fee of$14,500 including all professional time and
expenses for a trip to Salt Lake City by Tom Pippin and me(to present to Council on May 15th)
We would submit a single invoice to you on May 15th with the delivery of our final report and
payment would be due within 30 days.
Schedule
We can begin this project immediately upon your notice to proceed. If the City fulfills our data
411 request by Wednesday, May 7t,we can produce a draft report for your review by the close of
business—Monday,May 12th. We would then respond to your edits and prepare a final report
and overhead-style presentation for a City Council meeting on Thursday,May 15th.
If the terms of this engagement letter are acceptable,please indicate so by signing below and
returning a copy to me. Thank you for this opportunity to again be of service to the City.
Sincerely,
