What stands out to you as the top three successes or challenges facing District 7 that make you interested in serving on the City Council? While the Sugar House Business District has been bolstered by recent development, promising more community members and shoppers to District 7 — there are challenges that result from this tremendous growth that should be considered. Here are the three issues that stand out: First, creating housing density and affordable housing is a critical challenge for District 7, and the city as a whole. Concerns about generating revenue and preserving the character of the neighborhood, while also providing affordable and accessible housing for a variety of community members are often competing efforts that remain a challenge. I'm encouraged by the Council's adoption of the ADU ordinance, Affordable Housing Incentives, and implementation of the Thriving In Place plan, but there is more to do with the tools the council has through zoning, other requirements and incentives. Second, District 7 is not exempt from challenges presented by homelessness and supporting our unsheltered neighbors. The Sugar House emergency overflow shelter is one example of a successful strategy to support our unsheltered population during a challenging winter, and hopefully a stepping stone for broader solutions moving forward. Third, with rapid and increased development in District 7, more vehicular, bike, and foot traffic have led to amplified congestion contributing to air quality and safety concerns. While moving back speed limits to 20 mph and adding protected bike lanes in our communities are successful steps in creating safer and healthier streets for community members, challenges will remain to address traffic congestion issues as a result of increased density. 2. What are the issues facing the City as a whole that make you interested in serving on the City Council? I'm interested in serving on the City Council to give back to the community that has offered me so much as a lifelong Salt Lake City resident. I've served in numerous official and unofficial leadership roles that have helped me understand the challenges that face our community, and have had opportunities to closely engage with my neighbors to develop solutions. I've learned that I not only enjoy connecting with and advocating for members of my community — but that I have the skills and support to be a successful representative. Geographical disparities, rapid development concerns, and providing resources for our unsheltered population are three issues that are immediately faced by both District 7 and Salt Lake City. These issues inspire me to serve my community, and collectively work towards creative solutions. Throughout my community engagement in Salt Lake City, I've witnessed these disparities firsthand. While I've been encouraged by the excitement around the creation of a Glendale Regional Park and Love Your Block program, addressing these issues involves striving for balanced development, equitable distribution of resources and investment, and ensuring that all residents have equal access to essential services, amenities, and employment opportunities. 3. With regard to the development and density occurring in the heart of Sugar House, what do you think are the top 3 priorities or challenges, and why? When it comes to the development and density in the heart of District 7, there are several priorities and challenges to consider. The three that stand out are building height and setback standards, traffic concerns, and green space preservation. Maintaining the character of the community while welcoming growth necessitates thoughtful urban planning while considering zoning standards such as building heights and setbacks, striking a balance between accommodating necessary growth and preserving the neighborhood -feel of our communities. Housing density can contribute to the vibrancy of our neighborhoods by providing units to appeal to a broad range of neighbors and lifestyles. As I highlight above, increased development has contributed to more vehicular, bike, and foot traffic in Sugar House. Managing traffic flow, improving public and active transportation infrastructure, and promoting these modes of transportation are challenges that face the community. As development and density increases, preserving our greenspaces is a challenge facing Sugar House. While the Council has made it a priority to preserve and enhance park and open space amenities, our efforts to accommodate the population's need for recreation and green space are a challenge that should remain a priority. 4. What do you perceive is the role of the Council in addressing the historic inequities between Council districts, specifically related to the quality of life in various communities, and disparity in City infrastructure and service delivery? The City Council plays a crucial role in addressing historic and current inequities between Council districts and working to achieve a more equitable distribution of resources, infrastructure, and service delivery throughout the city. Here are some key aspects of the Council's role in this regard: Policy -making: The City Council has the responsibility to develop and enact policies and ordinances that promote equity and address disparities between districts. This includes discovering gaps, advocating for fair allocation of resources, ensuring equal access to essential services, and implementing measures that prioritize historically underserved communities. Budgeting and resource allocation: The City Council has the responsibility to allocate the city's budget in a way that addresses inequities and ensures that all communities receive resources in addressing variable needs. This involves a thorough evaluation of community needs, infrastructure requirements, and service delivery gaps. By advocating for equitable budgeting and resource allocation, the Council can bridge the disparities among districts. Collaboration and community engagement: The Council can actively engage with community members, community -based organizations, and advocacy groups to understand the specific needs and concerns of different districts. This collaboration allows the Council to gain insights into existing inequities and work towards developing comprehensive solutions that address the unique challenges faced by each community. By involving stakeholders in the decision -making process, the Council can ensure that diverse perspectives are considered and that the solutions are more inclusive and responsive to the communities' unique needs. Achieving equity isn't necessarily going to be easy, economical, or immediate, but its deliberate implementation is imperative for the sustainability of our community. Dear Salt Lake City Council Members, July 10, 2023 Thank you for your consideration of my application to represent Salt Lake City's District 7. As a resident of District 7 for most of my life, I consider it an honor to apply to represent a community that has influenced my growth, and quality of life, beyond measure. From valued public education to remarkable green spaces to community learning, engagement, and service I would not be the person I am today without the deep impact of my community and neighbors in District 7. While the issues that face us are many, and not without complexity, it's the community that we've built together with care for the future that has inspired me over the years to serve my neighbors. Today, more than ever, I believe my community engagement over the years has led me to this opportunity to roll up my sleeves and give back — and I'm confident I have substantial community support to cross the finish line. As you review my resume and application, I believe you'll recognize my commitment to serving my neighbors and my understanding of the issues that face us are common threads in my experience.

COMMUNITY PROJECTS Sugarhouse Community Garden 15tory In 2010, with a small group of neighbors, I approached Salt Lake City with a proposal for a community garden on their property that has been derelict tennis courts for 30 years. After many meetings, a couple hard earned grants, and tremendous community buy -in, we built the first round of raised beds in 2oii.

Responses to the questions below will provide the City Council initial understanding of you and your goals. Succinct and direct answers are appreciated. 1. What stands out to you as the top 3 successes or challenges facing District 7 that matte you interested in serving on the City Council? A success is the development, like 21 st & 21 st and increased housing. With that come challenges of crowding, safety, and renter/homeowner rights. Residential areas bordering development will need support to preserve integrity and safety. The sharp influx of residents into the heart of Sugar House will require additional solutions to the flow of traffic and pedestrians. 2. What are the issues facing the City as a whole that make you interested in serving on the City Council? 1) Air quality: Must find solutions the populace can collectively get behind, like making mass transit more attractive. 2) Camping in parks: SLC has such beautiful green spaces. Find humane, consistent solutions to keep parks safe. 3) Police support and motivation: Police are central to success of many initiatives. More is being asked of them; they need to feel support from the city administration and I think my perspective can be of value. 3. With regard to the development and density occurring in the heart of Sugar House, what do you think are the top 3 priorities or challenges, and why? 1) Pedestrian and traffic safety. Better funneling of pedestrians, clearer crosswalks, tweaks to traffic engineering for peak hours, and boost mass transit. 2) New liquor store location. I'm against the move, but at a minimum, mitigating effects (such as local -only road access) need to be implemented to preserve safety for nearby residents. 3) Get 21st & 21 st running asap to relieve pressure on the center of SHED. 4. What do you perceive is the role of the Council in addressing the historic inequities between Council districts, specifically related to the quality of life in various communities, and disparity in City infrastructure and service delivery. Choosing to live in a city is entering a contract to fairly consider and support all districts and residents. I think there are opportunities to promote desired west side development through tax incentives and simple right of turn for good deals. I also think there are a lot of issues, like the port, where opinions of most residents naturally align with D112. I think the politically -active populace of Sugar House can be a a driver of advocacy for the city, both at higher govt levels and for promoting fairness within the city.

Name: Please contact me using the alternate address or phone number: Alternate address: OR Alternate phone number: Dear Salt Lake City Council, Thank you for considering my application for the City Council District Seven vacancy! My wife, and I moved to District Seven in 2017, when started medical school at the University of Utah and I began my career as an F-35A pilot in the Combat Air Forces at Hill Air Force Base. We loved the vibrancy, walkability, and neighborhood feel of Sugar House, and fell in love with our new home right away. Six years later, we're still happy to be here and have done everything in our power to stay, through graduation and successful match to a physician residency at the U, a subsequent Air Force assignment at Hill for me, and the addition of wonderful children to our family. We realized at each step that we were already living exactly where we wanted to be. I concluded twelve years of service in the Air Force last month, with amazing memories but ready to move to a new stage of life focused on my family. After spending most of my adult life serving a larger cause, I have contemplated where to find a new avenue of purpose. When this vacancy became available, I knew I had to apply, because I could not imagine a better way to employ what I've learned about life and leadership in greater service to my family and my community. Sugar House has been blessed with wonderful positive development. As a father, I'm happy my children will grow up in such a lively place, but I also want to advocate on their and other residents' behalf to prioritize safety in those rapidly developed areas. Pedestrian and traffic safety in and around the Sugar House Business District will be a growing concern that will need constant assessment and proactive solutions. The beautiful parks in our district and the city must be reclaimed and maintained as safe spaces for residents and families, and consistent, reasonable solutions to camping in parks must be enforced. But if we want to make lasting headway as a city in solving problems with homelessness, we have to attempt to formulate programs that can also provide a sense of purpose to those in unfortunate situations, like providing contract work, rather than rather than temporarily pushing people out of sight. District Seven tends toward political activism, and I envision us as an engine of advocacy for the city at large. There are large issues affecting the city that to my senses have passed on too quietly, like the inland port and the Bear River pipeline. And while I wouldn't characterize this issue as quiet, there can't be too much advocacy for air quality. I want to ensure that residents are fully informed with every opportunity to engage in discussion and make their opinions heard. I'm confident we will advocate genuinely and fairly to support the vibrancy we enjoy in Sugarhouse in all areas of the city. I know I will. 1 know it will be a challenge, and a certain level of humility is required to serve in a non -elected capacity. I feel confident that I have my finger on the pulse of issues that matter to Sugar House, and pledge to vigorously seek feedback from my neighbors in District Seven at every turn. If I'm so lucky to serve, I will keep the trust and make decisions for the good of all residents in my district and the city. Thank you very much again for considering my application, and I hope I have the opportunity to discuss further with you on July 13th.

Responses to the questions below will provide the City Council initial understanding of you and your goals. Succinct and direct answers are appreciated. 1. What stands out to you as the top 3 successes or challenges facing District 7 that make you interested in serving on the City Council? Affordable housing. Adaptive reuse, streamlining construction process, impact fees, eliminate or reduce parking requirements, affordable housing trust funds, implement community land trusts. Make it easier for first time rents to live in Sugar House. Community Center. Address the tennis courts, Boys & Girls Club, day care facilities, outdoor public pools, after school programs. Make Sugar House more youth focused. Preservation. Save Sugar House's historic, architectural, and aesthetic character and heritage and provide a sense of place and continuity for the future. 2. What are the issues facing the City as a whole that make you interested in serving on the City Council? Policing. Recruit, hire, and retain more officers. Lower response times. Budgeting for technology advancements. Expand alternative policing: community mediators, social workers, mobile crisis response team, community selfpolicing. Water. Save the Great Salt Lake. Treat the SLC Water Conservation Master Plan as a living document. Fight to lower gpd per capita by 15 20%. Promote water banking. Expand rain barrel program, Bringing back baseball to Salt Lake City. 3. With regard to the development and density occurring in the heart of Sugar House, what do you think are the top 3 priorities or challenges, and why? Open Spaces and Parks. High density housing isn't creating new common space for citizens. We need to protect parks and make sure they meet the needs of new residents. Commercial/Retain Space. New residents will need both local and national stores to meet needs of community. Initiate pilot program for businesses to buy retail space. Empower Sugar House Chamber & Community Alliance. Funding for a food hall. Safer Streets. Encourage biking and walking by making the streets safer. Time traffic lights & flashing signals to give pedestrians a head start, expand traffic calming measures, reduce speeds, tree planting (old growth trees encourage slower driving), eliminate left hand turns, car -free days, and shared road spaces. 4. What do you perceive is the role of the Council in addressing the historic inequities between Council districts, specifically related to the quality of life in various communities, and disparity in City infrastructure and service delivery? Distribution of homeless services need to be equally spread throughout the city. Each district needs to provide a facility to combat homelessness. It doesn't need to be a shelter, it can be an office to process claims, provide job training, health care, mental services, etc&. Geraldine E. King and Gail Miller (not even in SLC) isn't a fair and balanced approach to dealing with homelessness. The unsheltered don't see district lines. Make services available throughout City.

Two years ago, I took the first steps to represent Sugar House by running for public office. threw my hat in the ring because I wanted to dust off my political science degree to address concerns in the district and fight to make a difference. COVID was still simmering. We were recovering from the earthquake and hurricane. And there was uncertainty in the country from the most recent election. I thought, "if not now, when am I going to put a lifetime of experiences into action?" I was concerned about homelessness, the quality of our parks, traffic, public safety, the Inland Port, air quality, and making sure Sugar House didn't turn into one big strip mall. I wanted the coolest district in the city to do the coolest stuff —promoting art festivals, farmer's markets, live music, and other events to drive business to Sugar House and highlight what a dynamic and incredible place it is to live, work, and raise a family. From the start, it was an untraditional campaign. I had a staff of one, an intern from Westminster, and we did a lot of retail politics: attending debates, hosting events, and canvassing the neighborhoods. That said, the bulk of our efforts were focused on knocking on doors and organizing service projects. We hosted garbage cleanups, removed goat head and puncture vines along Parley's and the S- Line, food drives, and even raised over $5,000 for Highland High's food pantry. I wanted to prove to myself and the district that I was in this for the right reasons; to make a difference in Sugar House. And while I was confident we'd do well in the voting, if I were to lose the race I wanted to be sure we did some good along the way. The most fun part of the campaign was burning through shoe leather. We knocked on doors from Green Street to the Country Club and all points in-between. With the exception of three — count that —three dog attacks, a couple of close calls with cars hitting us, and a half dozen very animated conversations with potential constituents, you can't say you're really running to represent a district unless you take your message to them. I wanted to talk to people at their doorsteps and see the world from their front porch. In the end, I fell short. While the loss stung for a couple days, I dusted myself off and got back to it. What should have been the ultimate discouragement became incredible motivation —an opportunity to reengage with my community, to volunteer in my neighborhood, and to listen and learn from my neighbors while working alongside them planting trees, picking up trash, or discussing the future. The work was awesome. We organized CPR trainings for the district and did a second fundraiser for Highland High's food pantry, raising over $11,000. 1 continued to work with partners of the Sugar House Community Council and Land Use Meetings. And I continued to listen to other activists. The conversations were wide and diverse. They're tired of the unrelenting construction. They hate the idea of BB -story high-rise being built across from Monument Plaza. Traffic has been insane forever. The roads are dangerous, the air is bad, and no one wants a gravel quarry up the street from us. They're concerned about the health of the Great Salt Lake. And everyone wants a compassionate, but practical, solution to the homeless issue in our city. And if you're looking for pure D7 issues, try this on for size: what are we going to do about the tennis courts and the Boys & Girls Club? What's going on at Allen Park? Are you for or against ADUs? Will you let them build apartments in the Country Club? Are they really going to run a TRAX line down Highland? How come there isn't one crosswalk on 900 East? And who in the hell paved 2700 South? Why am I paying for sidewalks and gutters when I don't have either? Local politics has local problems, and the more time I spend with my neighbors the more understand they want results. Sugar House residents are proud of their community and want a leader who matches their passion. My pledge to the district is to take their concerns and bring them to this body —to protect, promote, and preserve District 7 and represent my district to the best of my ability. To my future colleagues, my pledge is simple: I'm here to listen and learn. Show respect to your issues, thoughtfully engage you, and build partnerships for the greater good of our City. High tide rises all ships and I'll work to help your district with the understanding that we're all I this together. And what I don't know about building codes, I promise you I'll make up with hard work, a passion for public service, and a commitment to District 7. And hopefully, I'll do all of this with a decent sense of humor. I look forward to discussing my application in detail.

What stands out as the top 3 successes or challenges facing district 7 that makes you interested in serving on the City Council? Successes: Growth and development of Sugar House, Cleanliness. Parks and events. Challenges: Homeless. Growth & lack of parking. Housing affordability. 2 What are the issues facing the City as a whole that make you interested in serving on the City Council? Homeless. Housing affordability. Inland Port Authority control. Inconsistencies in Parking — Bike Lanes — Mid Street Crosswalks. 3 With regard to the development and density occurring in the heart of Sugar House, what do you think are the top 3 priorities or challenges, and why? Over Development. Increased traffic & lack of Darkine. Too many buildings are being approved with inappropriate unit to parking stall ratios. There needs to be parking structures and/or lots around commercial developments, especially if 211, South is developed with the proposed plan. I do believe in walk/ridable areas, but people do drive to frequent the area and need places to park. The area around Sugarmont apartments and Sugarmont Drive is only one example. Homeless in Sugar House is growing. The east side of Fairmont Park and the areas around 1-80 are becoming the `old Pioneer Park'. Camping and panhandling is becoming rampant. I'm asked for money almost every time l visit Smith's. The lack of visible police presence is very concerning. Traffic. When you say Sugar House, most people think only of the area right around 21' South. The proposed redesign of 21' South will redirect traffic on to the smaller side streets. The only other major east -west streets in the area are 17th and 27th south. 4 What do you perceive is the role of the Council in addressing the historic inequities between Council districts, specifically related to the quality of life in various communities and disparity in City infrastructure and service delivery? Toughest question of the day. My wife and I have friends across the area, Murray, Magna, Stansbury, East Bench, Greater Avenues, East Liberty Park, etc. l own a business in the Glendale area and my wife owns businesses in the Downtown and Central City areas. Each of those areas are unique and diverse with different needs and wants. The Avenues, Central City, Downtown, Glendale etc. are all as unique as the other districts in the City. None of them can be treated the same as they all have their different interests and challenges. I believe it is the responsibility of the Council members to see across the area and District lines to achieve the goals, needs and wants of the citizens of Salt Lake City. I know the Council was elected to represent their Districts, but balanced growth should be City wide to benefit all citizens. As always, planning, growth and development must represent the needs and wants of the citizens in each of the various 'City Centers'. Promotions and advertising of events should be District and City wide. Byron Lee Bowman 2510 South Highland Drive Salt Lake City, UT 84106 Just a little bit about me. I was raised in Granger and graduated from Bountiful High. When I got my driver's license, I quickly learned that Salt Lake was the place to be, restaurants, shopping, and concerts. I attended 3 years and the University of Utah and 2 years at LDS Business School. My goal was to obtain the education I needed to run the family business. I have lived in Utah all my life, from Layton to Midvale. Holiday was great, but when I moved to Sugar House I found that I could walk to almost anything I needed. I also love downtown SLC, from my wife's business we could walk to many restaurants and events. We love the Gallivan Center events, Capital Theater and the Leonardo. This diversity of businesses and entertainment opportunities are vast. My wife and I have a great blended family with Oh yeah, 2 cats, We love to have `Alley Parties' with the neighbors. One of the favorites was the Alley Easter Egg hunt in 2020. We searched for eggs, dust masks and toilet paper! BBQ'd steak and eggs and socialized most of the day— 6 feet apart. I own a family business with 3 locations in Salt Lake City, South Salt Lake, and Murray with my siblings. My wife owns two businesses in Downtown and Central City. We own 3 homes in Sugar House and thus, we have strong interests in Salt Lake City. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have. I try to be very accessible.

Responses to the questions below will provide the City Council initial understanding of you and your goals. Succinct and direct answers are appreciated. 1. What stands out to you as the top 3 successes or challenges facing District 7 that make you interested in serving on the City Council? 1.) The Sego Lily Dam is a functional and beautiful art installation and a successful addition to Sugar House Park. 2.) One major challenge facing district 7 is the 1100 East construction between 2100 South and 2700 South; the damage from the fire and the amount of time that has lapsed have made the community reluctant to support the idea of more construction at least thats what I was hearing at the 2100 South project meeting held at Highland High). 3.) Affordable housing and access to resources including but not limited to health, education, and transportation. 2. What are the issues facing the City as a whole that make you interested in serving on the City Council? Air quality is one of the major concerns t have-- when it's bad, it's awful. According to Axios a Utah magnesium refinery is responsible for up to 25% of the fine particulate matter in the winter inversion. That, coupled with a drying Salt Lake could deal Utah a devastating environmental catastrophe that would change life as we know it. My next major concern is housing. According to the Tribune approximately 8,637 people became homeless for the first time in 2022. There simply isn't enough housing for our growing city. Other issues that make me interested in serving include: The Inland Port, LCC & BCC (Gondola), Public Transit, Mental Health, Education, Reproductive Rights, 1-15 expansion, and the Winter Olympics. 3. With regard to the development and density occurring in the heart of Sugar House, what do you think are the top 3 priorities or challenges, and why? Air quality is a top priority. If we have to stay indoors because we can't breathe, we can't enjoy our beautiful city. My second priority is housing: as the city grows it is important that our new guests be able to find housing and that our older residents aren't pushed into homelessness (auxiliary units have been great). My third priority is traffic and pedestrian growth. We need to be mindful of the incoming vehicles that accompany population growth and deploy creative, environmentally friendly solutions for the influx of people and their vehicles. Examples include roundabouts, carpool incentives, increasing access to public transit, and deploying e-bikes, all while protecting and enriching green spaces and small businesses. 4. What do you perceive is the role of the Council in addressing the historic inequities between Council districts, specifically related to the quality of life in various communities, and disparity in City infrastructure and service delivery. The role of the Council in addressinq historic inequities between districts and disparities in infrastructure and service delivery involves developing policy and legislation that distributes funding equitably across districts. Other roles of the council include budget allocation, community engagement, government oversight, and community advocacy. See back for more on addressing inequities Note: If English is your second language and you would like to request translation assistance, please noliA the Recorder's Office before Thursday, July 6 at noon to allow time for arrangements. The City Council plays a crucial role in addressing historic inequalities between council districts and improving the quality of life in various communities. Here are some key responsibilities and actions the City Council can undertake: 1. Policy and Legislation: The City Council can develop and implement policies and legislation aimed at addressing historic inequalities. This may include creating ordinances to ensure equitable distribution of resources, funding, and services across districts. 2. Budget Allocation: The City Council controls the city's budget and can allocate funds to address disparities in infrastructure and service delivery. They can prioritize investment in under-resourced districts, such as improving public transportation, parks, schools, healthcare facilities, and affordable housing. 3. Community Engagement: City Council members can actively engage with communities to understand their needs, concerns, and aspirations. They can hold public hearings, town halls, and community meetings to gather input, involve residents in decision -making processes, and ensure that diverse voices are heard. 4. Advocacy and Partnerships: City Council members can advocate for their districts by partnering with community organizations, nonprofits, and other stakeholders. They can collaborate with these entities to secure additional resources, grants, and support for initiatives that address historic inequalities. 5. Oversight and Accountability: The City Council has the power to oversee city departments and agencies responsible for infrastructure and service delivery. They can hold hearings, conduct investigations, and demand transparency to ensure that resources are allocated fairly and services are provided equitably across districts. 6. Long-term Planning: The City Council can engage in long-term planning to address historic inequalities systematically. This may involve developing comprehensive plans for urban revitalization, affordable housing, economic development, and educational initiatives that target underprivileged communities. 7. Data -Driven Approaches: The City Council can utilize data and metrics to identify disparities and monitor progress over time. By analyzing data on income, education, healthcare access, transportation, and other relevant factors, they can make informed decisions and track the impact of their interventions. It's important to note that addressing historic inequalities requires a multi -faceted and collaborative approach involving various stakeholders, including local government, community organizations, residents, and businesses. The City Council is just one part of the broader effort to promote equity and improve the quality of life for all residents.

Hannah Renee Truax is a legal voting resident of the State of Utah, Salt Lake County in precinct SLC120 as recorded in the official register. Lannie Chapman Salt Lake County Clerk July 9, 2023Dear Salt Lake City Council,A broken back (twice), two spinal fusion surgeries, concussions and a long time being sidelined due to these injuries did not stop Hannah Truax from being elected as a captain for the Utah Swim and Dive and serving in a great capacity for the team this past season. In my experience as diving coach here at the University of Utah for the past 13-plus years I have found that there are born leaders, there are taught leaders, and there are the rare born leaders who are also willing and able to be taught and learn how to lead even better. Hannah is the rare combination of someone who can lead out of instinct and who has committed an inordinate amount of time and effort to learning how to lead more effectively. Hannah’s injuries and the physical toll they took on her body took away her ability to practice and compete diving and thus took away a lot of time she would have been able to spend with the team. Even though Hannah had a lot taken away from her, she was able to lead and give back to the team in ways that are harder to measure than athletic performance. The unseen and immeasurable contributions she gave to the team are the true definition of leadership. Her ability to work with the team and build confidence and trust with each member allowed us to become better as a group both in diving and as people. Hannah’s leadership does not start or end with the Swim and Dive team here. She has traveled to the jungles of Ecuador to help indigenous children. She traveled to Selma, Alabama to take part in an education and leadership experience related to civil rights. She has served and learned through the Ute Leadership Academy within the athletic department. She has earned the athletic department’s Social Justice Award and Mental Health Awareness award because she has promoted awareness and change regarding these issues. What I know is true throughout all of Hannah’s leadership experiences is that she has learned and perfected her ability to listen to people with different viewpoints and she has learned how to build a team and build consensus with that team in order to reach a common goal. Hannah is committed to people, she is committed to making her community better and she has shown through her experiences that she is fully capable of becoming one of her generation’s leaders that we so desperately need.

Responses to the questions below will provide the City Council initial understanding of you and your goals. Succinct and direct answers are appreciated. 1. What stands out to you as the top 3 successes or challenges facing District 7 that make you interested in serving on the City Council? I'm interested in improving upon the successes and overcoming challenges in the following areas: 1) Community Develooment: Help foster diverse experiences, ideas, and beliefs through cultural events and investments that promote a sense of safety, togetherness, and acceptance 2) Economic Prosperity: Strike a balance between local and "big" business growth for long lasting employment opportunities and investments aligned to our District goals and vision for the future 3) Environmental Sustainability: Align District 7 commercial and residential development in a way that doesn't sacrifice public health and well-being 2. What are the issues facing the City as a whole that make you interested in serving on the City Council? I'm primarily interested in helping address these issues facing Salt Lake City: I ) Managing through inflationary pressures and other economic headwinds brought on by the rapid growth in population and industry in recent years 2) Addressing environmental concerns such as water consume_ lion, enerc_ v use. and air quality with policy that plans for future generations and growth 3) Safeguarding our education system through constructive ordinances and budget planning that provides kids the tools and resources they need to be successful 3. With regard to the development and density occurring in the heart of Sugar House, what do you think are the top 3 priorities or challenges, and why? The top 3 priorities I would work to improve on for development and density are: 1) Provide affordable housing options that focus on citizen's needs while allowing for developer profits 2) Invest in Dublic transportation options that are useable year-round and for generations to come 3) Ensure development and density don't cause undue sacrifice to Dublic spaces and health 4. What do you perceive is the role of the Council in addressing the historic inequities between Council districts, specifically related to the quality of life in various communities, and disparity in City infrastructure and service delivery. The role of the Council is to help address these inequities in the following ways: I ) Encourase Collaboration. We have to meet with our District neighbors and find common ground to innovate and work across boundaries with transportation, public spaces and aligned commercial and residential planning ordinances 2) Foster iversity. We must create shared public and private spaces where all people are welcome and have the opportunity to learn, play, and work together. Innovation comes from people being exposed to ideas and experiences different than their own 3) Operate at Scale. When we work in District silos, we lose efficiency. When we build infrastructure and services that grow and work together, we are stronger. This includes areas like transportation, energy and water use, and density planning for residential or commercial development.

My professional experience and high integrity make me uniquely qualified for the role. I'm a strategic thinker, team oriented, organized, and a leader. I am committed to making this district a better place to live and make the best use available time and resources to accomplish that goal. I was born and raised in Utah and have lived in Salt Lake City for my entire adult life. I've lived in Sugar House for the past 8 years. I care deeply about my community and the issues we face locally and across the state. I am currently a successful business executive working for a public company but based out of my home office for work obligations. My career has led me to collaborate locally, nationally, and internationally in various capacities focused on strategic planning and execution of business objectives. As a leader, I engage with cross functional teams inside and out of my organization to get the job done — a skillset that would align nicely with the duties of a City Council Member. In recent years, I've transitioned my private sector career to a remote based role. This has allowed me to get more involved with my local community, attending local Sugarhouse Council events and activities. I've also volunteered as a Big Brother for the local Big Brothers Sig Sisters chapter. Engaging in an official capacity on the City Council is an aspirational next step for me in my service journey for the community. I received my bachelor's degree in Political Science in 1998 and have always been engaged with making sure our government works effectively for constituents. While I haven't served in any official government capacity in my career, I understand the workings of our system and would bring my personal skills of leadership, planning, and organization to the role. I hope you'll consider my application for the position. I would work tirelessly to get the job done and serve my district.

Name: Please contact me using the alternate address or phone number: Alternate address: M Alternate phone number: Sarah Young Salt Lake City Council - District Seven Sarah Young Responses to Salt Lake City Council Vacancy District Seven As a resident and applicant for the open Salt Lake City District 7 Council position, I am particularly drawn to the following successes and challenges that make me eager to serve on the Salt Lake City Council: District Ts local economic development stands out as a significant success. I am excited to contribute to its continued growth and success by implementing policies that attract new businesses, foster entrepreneurship, and create more job opportunities for residents. I have experience in collaborating with local stakeholders and working collaboratively with local business leaders and residents, and I believe we can further enhance the district and ultimately the city's economic future and ensure that its benefits reach all members of the community. A key challenge of District 7 is infrastructure and transportation, which is crucial for the well-being of residents. The current construction on 2100 South and 1100 East are examples of those challenges for residents and businesses. I am committed to working on policy and funding initiatives that improve the infrastructure, enhance transportation systems, and alleviate traffic congestion that is brought on by growth and increased density of housing. By prioritizing sustainable and efficient transportation options, advocating for necessary infrastructure upgrades, and exploring innovative solutions that balance pedestrian needs with automobile traffic, I will aim to enhance the overall quality of life for residents and make commuting more convenient and environmentally friendly. A final challenge that has drawn me to this opportunity is my desire to create inclusive dialogue that is representative of diverse points of view contributing to the solutions for Salt Lake City. I believe in the importance of community engagement and addressing social issues that are at the core of creating a strong community. If given the opportunity to serve, I am committed to actively listening to the concerns of District 7 residents and representing their interests as it relates to the policies and role of the Salt Lake City Council. For example, working to get community input on the solutions to address affordable housing challenges and working towards initiatives that improve the overall well-being and safety of residents. By fostering a culture of inclusivity, I aim to create a more connected and compassionate community. I understand that these are just a few broad areas that are part of the work of the Council, and I am eager to delve into these and other specific successes and challenges facing Salt Lake City. By working closely with fellow Council members, community leaders, and residents, I am confident that we can collectively overcome challenges and build upon existing successes to create a more prosperous and inclusive community. 2. lam motivated to serve because of the pressing issues facing Salt Lake City as a whole. Some of the key challenges that ignite my enthusiasm to contribute are: The lack of affordable housing options and the issue of homelessness are critical concerns for Salt Lake City residents. With my experience in grant administration and collaboration with state community leaders to address students experiencing homelessness in K-12,1 will work tirelessly to address these challenges in partnership Sarah Young Salt Lake City Council - District Seven with fellow Council members. I will collaborate with non-profit organizations, developers, and community stakeholders to increase affordable housing availability, explore innovative housing solutions, and support comprehensive programs that provide necessary resources to the unhoused population. By prioritizing affordable housing and implementing effective strategies, we can work towards ensuring that everyone in Salt Lake City has access to safe and stable housing to the benefit of the full community. Our state and Salt Lake City community face environmental challenges such as air pollution, water conservation, and sustainable development. As an advocate for environmental consciousness with a degree in environmental and population biology, I will prioritize policies that promote clean energy, reduce emissions, and preserve natural resources. As a former science teacher and parent, these environmental issues are near to my heart and are key aspects of city management with attention to our future. By advocating for sustainable urban planning, supporting renewable energy adoption, and engaging in partnerships with relevant stakeholders and scientific experts, I aim to create a healthier and more sustainable city for current and future generations. Quality education should be accessible to all residents, regardless of their socioeconomic background. With my master's in education and experience in K-12 schools, I am well -prepared to support policies and initiatives that address educational disparities and provide opportunities for all students regardless of age. I will advocate for expanding early childhood education programs, after -school enrichment activities, and access to digital learning resources for our senior population to ensure equitable access to quality education. Collaborating with school districts, charter schools, parents, students, and education stakeholders will be essential in developing inclusive and effective policies. With my experience in education, grant administration, and collaboration with various stakeholders, I am confident in my ability to address these and other challenges collaboratively with fellow Council members, community organizations, and residents to build a stronger, more inclusive, and sustainable future for Salt Lake City as a whole. 3. As an applicant for the open District 7 position with Salt Lake City Council, I recognize the importance of addressing the development and density issues in the heart of Sugar House. Here are the top three priorities or challenges that I believe need attention: With the rise in development and population density, there is a growing concern that housing in Sugar House may become less affordable for both current and prospective residents. To tackle this challenge, it is crucial to take proactive measures to actively promote and incentivize the creation of affordable housing options. This requires close collaboration with non-profit organizations, developers, existing state and local incentive programs, as well as housing authorities. By working together, we can ensure that the community offers a diverse range of housing choices that cater to individuals with varying income levels. Striking a balance between market -rate and affordable housing developments will be key to preserving the inclusivity and diversity of the Sugar House community. KI Sarah Young Salt Lake City Council - District Seven As development and population density continue to rise, it becomes increasingly important to prioritize the preservation of the unique historical character that residents deeply value. Striking a balance between accommodating growth and maintaining the neighborhood's cherished historical charm presents a significant challenge. As an applicant for the Council, I am fully committed to ensuring that resident feedback plays a crucial role in shaping zoning and development decisions. By actively incorporating the insights and concerns of the community, we can work collaboratively to find solutions that respect the neighborhood's rich history, architectural heritage, and the evolving needs of the growing community. As we have discussed earlier, the rise in development and population density places a significant burden on transportation infrastructure. Addressing the challenges of traffic congestion, limited parking availability, and inadequate public transportation options is a pressing need for District 7. To ensure seamless mobility for residents, visitors, and businesses, it is crucial to prioritize the implementation of well -designed transportation solutions that cater to pedestrians and cyclists. This includes the expansion of public transportation options and the adoption of intelligent traffic management systems. By focusing on these initiatives, we can foster a more efficient and sustainable transportation network in Sugar House, improving the overall quality of life for everyone in the community. These three priorities or challenges —preserving neighborhood character, managing traffic and transportation, and addressing affordability —must be tackled in a balanced and inclusive manner. It is crucial to engage with the community, work closely with developers and business leaders, and consider long-term sustainability and livability when making decisions. By adopting a comprehensive approach that considers the unique characteristics of Sugar House, we can foster responsible development, enhance quality of life, and maintain a vibrant and inclusive neighborhood for current and future generations. 4. As an applicant for the Salt Lake City Council, I perceive the role of the Council as vital in addressing historic inequities and disparities between Salt Lake City districts. Specifically, in relation to the quality of life in various communities and the disparities in infrastructure and service delivery, the Council has a responsibility to foster equity, advocate for fairness, and ensure that all residents have equal access to resources and opportunities. Here's how I envision the Council's role in addressing these challenges: The Council has a crucial role in advancing equity by addressing historical disparities and recognizing the distinct needs of various communities across Salt Lake City. The existing efforts of the Council to address needs for more recreation and parks in North and West Salt Lake are an example of this work. By prioritizing policies that ensure the equitable distribution of resources, funding, and services, the Council can promote fairness and bridge the gaps that have marginalized certain areas. This includes addressing disparities in infrastructure development, public transportation, parks and recreation, and public services throughout different districts. Drawing from my experience in working with diverse stakeholders and communities in my current role in K- 12 education, I am well-equipped to bring valuable insights to the Council and advocate for equitable representation and resource allocation for District 7. 3 Sarah Young Salt Lake City Council - District Seven To effectively address historical inequities, the Council must actively engage with community members from all districts, with a particular focus on those who have been disproportionately affected by disparities. This entails fostering collaboration with a wide range of stakeholders, including community organizations, non-profit groups, businesses, and government agencies. By forming partnerships and working collaboratively, the Council can harness the expertise, resources, and networks necessary to drive positive change. Central to this effort is actively seeking input from residents and involving them in decision -making processes. By doing so, the Council can gain valuable insights and ensure that diverse perspectives are represented. This community engagement not only promotes transparency and builds trust but also enables the development of collaborative solutions that address the unique needs and aspirations of different neighborhoods. By prioritizing community engagement, the Council can create an inclusive environment where residents have a voice in shaping policies and initiatives that aim to rectify historic inequities. This approach fosters a sense of ownership, encourages active participation, and ultimately paves the way for more effective and equitable outcomes. e The Council should prioritize targeted investment and strategic resource allocation to uplift communities that have historically faced disparities. This requires careful planning to identify areas in most need of infrastructure upgrades, improved public services, affordable housing, and economic development opportunities. By directing resources towards these areas and implementing comprehensive strategies, the Council can effectively bridge gaps and enhance the overall quality of life for residents in all districts. This may involve prioritizing investments in public services such as healthcare facilities, community centers, and educational institutions to ensure equal access and opportunities for all residents. Additionally, the Council can play a pivotal role in fostering economic development in underserved areas by attracting businesses, creating job opportunities, and supporting entrepreneurship. By facilitating targeted investments and providing support for small businesses, the Council can stimulate economic growth and empower local communities. By taking a proactive approach to targeted investment and resource allocation, the Council can make significant strides in addressing historic disparities and promoting equitable development across all districts. In summary, the Salt Lake City Council plays a vital role in addressing historic inequities, engaging with community members from all districts, and prioritizing targeted investments and strategic resource allocation. By placing equity at the forefront of its agenda, the Council can strive towards creating a more inclusive and fair Salt Lake City that benefits all residents. If given the opportunity to serve, I am fully committed to actively addressing these challenges and working diligently towards a thriving city to meet the needs of our residents and set up our children for future success. I will advocate for policies and initiatives that promote equity, collaborate with community members from diverse backgrounds, and ensure that resources are allocated strategically to uplift underserved communities. By working together, we can create a city that provides equal opportunities and a high quality of life for all residents. 4 Sarah Young 2546 South 1500 East Salt Lake City, UT, 84106 Salt Lake City Council Members PO Box 145476 Salt Lake City, UT 84114-5476 July 9, 2023 Dear Salt Lake City Council Members, I am writing to express my sincere interest in the Salt Lake City Council District 7 vacancy and to submit my application for consideration.

SYNERGISTIC ACTIVTIES Utah SEEd Standards for Grades 6-8: As the former K-12 Science Specialist, I led the development of the Utah SEEd Standards for Grades 6-8 from 2012-2015. To accomplish this, I established a community of leadership, organized three statewide conferences featuring local and national experts to support understanding of the K-12 Framework for Science Education, and collaborated with the Utah Science Teachers Association, informal science education institutions, and industry to create a network -based communication plan for the new standards. Science Teacher Endorsement Course Consortium: I served as a leader in a collaborative partnership between the Utah State Board of Education (USBE), Utah Education Telehealth Network (UETN), and Southern Utah University (SUU) to develop online college coursework aimed at supporting educators across the state in obtaining additional endorsements and "highly qualified" licensure status. This initiative, which has been sustained through USBE funding, has resulted in the creation of a catalog of over 15+ courses. Open Education Resources Catalog for 3-12 Science: In partnership with Dr. David Wiley of Brigham Young University and Lumen Learning, I worked on a Hewlett Foundation Grant project to develop open education resources (OER) aligned with Utah state science standards for grades 3-12. The result was the creation of the Utah Free Textbooks" OER Catalog, which brought together teachers, informal science education experts, and district leaders from across the state. As co -lead in the development effort, I facilitated collaboration and outcome communication and worked with Dr. David Wiley on a research study assessing the impact of OER based on a match sampling study of state assessment outcomes. Elementary STEM endorsement program: As a STEM Specialist, I played a leading role in the development of the Elementary STEM endorsement program for the state of Utah. This program brought together K-6 teachers and 10 institutions of higher education to develop six new course frameworks for STEM learning aligned with the K-12 Framework for Science Education. In addition to leading the development and review of these frameworks, I also oversaw the award of mini -grants for cohorts of teachers to pursue this endorsement. I was responsible for overseeing the program and evaluating its effectiveness. Digital Teaching and Learning Initiative: I was responsible for the development and launch of the Digital Teaching and Learning Initiative for the state of Utah. In just six months, I created the grant application, review process, advisory board, and implementation timeline to meet legislative timelines. The initiative initially deployed 15M to state LEA partners and, with the support of other state leaders, we secured ongoing funding of $20M in state funding. To date, the program has provided over $65M+ to the state of Utah to support innovation in digital teaching and learning, serving over 90% of Utah K-12 students. Utah K-12 Computer Science Grant Program: Supported partnership across state agencies to develop The Utah K-12 Computer Science Grant Program with USBE Career and Technical Education, Utah industry leaders, and Utah legislators.

Addendum - Professional Develooment and Leadership GRANT & PROPOSAL EXPERIENCE U.S. Department of Education COVID-19 Relief Funding State Director I served as the program lead for $1 B in COVID-19 relief funding including the state Elementary and Secondary Schools Emergency Relief funding (ESSER), the Governor's Emergency Education Relief (GEER), and the Emergency Assistance for Non -Public Schools (FANS). As the lead administrator for the distribution of COVID-19 relief funding to Utah K-12 education, I was responsible for ensuring the efficient and effective allocation of funds to support students, teachers, and schools during the pandemic. To achieve this goal, I developed and implemented a comprehensive plan for the distribution of COVID-19 relief funds, working collaboratively with school districts, state agencies engaged in relief work, and other stakeholders to identify areas of greatest need and allocate funds accordingly. Together with my team, I ensured compliance with federal and state regulations governing the distribution of relief funds, and monitored and tracked the use of funds to ensure their appropriate and effective use. I prioritized relationships with key stakeholders to facilitate communication and coordination throughout the funding process. Through ongoing evaluation and analysis, we assessed the impact of the relief funding on student outcomes and made recommendations for future funding allocations.

Responses to the questions below will provide the City Council initial understanding of you and your goals. Succinct and direct answers are appreciated. 1. What stands out to you as the top 3 successes or challenges facing District 7 that make you interested in serving on the City Council? District 7 is seeing exploding apartment growth - a challenge to our roadways and parking availability. Mass transit is not a viable option for several reasons, so our infrastructure needs to better plan for the cars. The district is in the midst of an unsheltered -community crisis. We need to work with the state in finding safe solutions. The district has several crown jewels that people love to visit - we need to keep the doors open! 2. What are the issues facing the City as a whole that make you interested in serving on the City Council? IMO, the city has 3 large issues: energy/water conservation, quality of roads, and an ever growing unsheltered community issue. I would like to be part of the planning in making xeriscaping, solar, and other energy options more available. I'd like to help identify solutions to more crosswalks,traffic lanes, bike lanes, etc. And, like I mentioned above, working with the state & city for the unsheltered is imperative to our community. 3, With regard to the development and density occurring in the heart of Sugar House, what do you think are the top 3 priorities or challenges, and why? Traffic flow is huge - we can't forget that Utahns drive, and a 1 lane road with bus traffic just isn't sufficient. The density also will impact our community -feel: how can we keep local businesses flourishing with higher rents? And, as already mentioned, the unsheltered community needs to be a part of our plans. 4. What do you perceive is the role of the Council in addressing the historic inequities between Council districts, specifically related to the quality of life in various communities, and disparity in City infrastructure and service delivery. The Council needs to bring the representatives together to find common goals. Some areas have better parks and community centers, while others have better sidewalks and streets. We can all work together to build up the deficient pieces to all of our areas. District's 1 complaints might be alleviated if District 7 can add to their plans.

As a (mainly) life-long resident of Salt Lake City, I take great pride in the quality of our city. My wife and I have been very happy to raise our family in District 7 and enjoy the community! The challenges facing our growing area are steep, and I'd like to participate in the planning to ensure the continued strength and vibe of our community. As the excerpt from my resume below shows, I'm a trained software engineer, and have been working to solve highly complex problems for years. While technical in nature, each position I've held throughout my career has developed into a people -oriented leadership position. I've learned early on that every solution to an issue depends on people providing ideas, energy, and passion. My goal has been to identify the strengths of my colleagues and guide them to work together for the result. I'd love to bring this ethic to the City Council. Any govermnent position requires teamwork, understanding, and the ability to make decisions — skills I've honed professionally for the last 25 years. Thank you for your consideration.
