MINUTES OF THE SALT LAKE CITY COUNCIL Tuesday, November 7, 2023 7 Brian Fullmer gave a brief overview of the proposed ordinance. Ernest Lloyd Cox reviewed the history of the area and the promise that developers would not be allowed to create large developments in the area. Mary Cox stated the homes in the area had been updated and remodeled, parking was horrible, loved the area and hoped it stayed residential. Jeff Sandstrom spoke in opposition to the proposal as the property was down zoned to protect the nature of the area and prevent developers from developing larger high density housing that was incompatible with the surrounding area, the proposal did not fit the area, and asked the Council to not approve the proposal. Lars Sequist (Applicant) spoke to prior zoning and what was included in the area surrounding the properties, how the proposed zoning would benefit and fit with the area. Chris Towson spoke in support of the proposal as the land in the current form was underutilized and the proposal would add much needed development and create housing for the City. Paul Svendsen spoke in support of the proposal as it was in a great location where this type of development would fit ideally and asked the Council to approve the proposal.

The other items will be discussed at the follow-up briefing on December 12. The Council may consider adopting some or all items in Budget Amendment #3 after the public hearing is held, although standard practice would be to consider only the time sensitive items. In addition to the amendment adoption ordinance, the Council could also act on another ordinance that is proposed for item A-4 to codify a Legislative Affairs Division in the City Attorney’s Office and the duties and functions of that department. Item A-1 also has a resolution proposed requesting admission to the Tier 2 Firefighters Retirement System for emergency medical personnel including social workers. Straw Polls The Council took the following nonbinding straw polls at the first briefing: - A-4: City Attorney’s Office Legislative Division Request for Four New FTEs ($317,220 from General Fund Balance): o Six in favor, none against, and one absent to support a division director FTE appointed ($85,510) and a senior city attorney merit ($117,676). o Three in favor, three against, and one absent to support a special projects analyst ($61,707) and administrative assistant ($52,297). o Note the amounts above in parenthesis are half-year costs for salary, benefits, $3,000 per employee for electronic devices (e.g., computers), and $5,000 per employee to establish workspaces. - A-15: Mill & Overlay Pilot Program for Street Pavement Maintenance ($205,177 from the Quarter Cent Sales Tax for Transportation Fund Balance and Transferring $955,177 to the Fleet Fund) o Six in favor, none against, and one absent to support the additional funding request, transfer to the Fleet Fund, and funding source swap. - A-16: The Road Home’s Family Hotel Winter Interim Plan ($300,000 from General Fund Balance) o Six in favor, none against, and one absent to support the one-time appropriation for motel and hotel vouchers available to families experiencing homelessness.  Information below was provided to the Council at earlier briefings  Project Timeline: Set Date: November 14, 2023 1st Briefing: December 5, 2023 2nd Briefing: December 12, 2023 (if needed) Public Hearing: December 12, 2023 Potential Action: December 12, 2023 and/or next year Budget Amendment Number Three includes 31 proposed amendments, $3,103,054 in revenues and $15,244,714 in expenditures of which $1,738,732 is from General Fund Balance and requesting changes to eight funds. Additionally, the transmittal indicates there is an increase of nine FTE’s. Four of the nine FTEs are being requested in Item A-1 for the Fire Department and four FTEs are being requested in A-4 for the City Attorney’s new Legislative Division. The other new FTE is being requested in A-13 in the Finance Department. Fund Balance If all the items are adopted as proposed, then General Fund Balance would be projected at 14.3% which is $5,784,487 above the 13% minimum target of ongoing General Fund revenues. Note: this figure includes both General Fund and Funding our Future fund balances. The Administration’s chart of projected Fund Balance later in this report was prepared before the Council voted in item I-1 of Budget Amendment #2 to return $1 million to General Fund Balance from an affordable housing development grant that did not proceed. This increased the projected percentage from the 14.08% to 14.3%. The projected Fund Balance does not include unused FY2023 budgets that drop to Fund Balance at the end of the fiscal year. The General Fund typically sees $2 million to $3 million drop to Fund Balance annually, which would increase the Fund Balance percentage. It also does not include actual revenues through the end of the last fiscal year. The comprehensive annual financial audit will confirm the actual Fund Balance through the end of FY2023. The annual audit is typically completed in December. This updated 14.3% combined Fund Balance is higher than estimated during the annual budget deliberations in June and Budget Amendment #1 last month due to finance department clarification on best practices for what to include or not include in Fund Balance calculations. The revised estimate did not impact the Funding Our Future portion of Fund Balance which remains at 14.51% which is $791,501 above the 13% minimum target.

An updated is anticipated in the next budget amendment after the comprehensive annual financial audit is completed. Fund Balance Chart The Administration’s chart below shows the current General Fund Balance figures. Fund balance has been updated to include proposed changes for Budget Amendment #3. Based on those projections the adjusted fund balance is projected to be at 14.08%. After this chart was developed, the Council added $1 million to Fund Balance in Budget Amendment #2 which increased the estimated percentage to 14.3%. A summary spreadsheet outlining proposed budget changes is attached to the transmittal. The Administration requests that document be modified based on the decisions of the Council. The budget opening is separated in eight different categories: A.New Budget Items B.Grants for Existing Staff Resources C.Grants for New Staff Resources D.Housekeeping Items E.Grants Requiring No New Staff Resources F.Donations G.Council Consent Agenda Grant Awards I.Council Added Items Impact Fees Update The Administration’s transmittal provides an updated summary of impact fee tracking. The information is current as of 7/20/23. The table below has taken into account impact fees appropriated by the Council on August 15 as part of the FY2024 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) . As a result, the City is on-track with impact fee budgeting to have no refunds during all of FY2024 and FY2025. The transportation section of the City’s Impact Fees Plan was updated in October 2020. The Administration is working on updates to the fire, parks, and police sections of the plan. Type Unallocated Cash “Available to Spend”Next Refund Trigger Date Amount of Expiring Impact Fees Fire $273,684 More than two years away - Parks $14,064,637 More than two years away - Police $1,402,656 More than two years away - Transportation $6,064,485 More than two years away - Note: Encumbrances are an administrative function when impact fees are held under a contract Section A: New Items Note: to expedite the processing of this staff report, staff has included the Administration’s descriptions from the transmittal for some of these items. A-1: Fire Department Medical Response Paramedics Request for Four New FTEs ($160,519 from General Fund Balance) The Administration is proposing a further evolution to staffing for the Medical Response Teams (MRTs). The proposal would increase the scope and efficiency of the team while reducing the cost of staffing each of four (4) SUV-based light response MRT units throughout Salt Lake City. The proposal adds four civilian Paramedic FTEs to the Fire Department. Each would be classified as Single-Role Paramedics (SRP’s) and would be allocated specifically to MRT positions currently held by firefighter/EMT’s. The displaced firefighters would fill daily vacancies throughout the department, and staff additional apparatus as the department grows. This will likely result in overtime budget savings although the exact amount is unknown at this time. In its current form the MRT is a successful program, but from a budgetary perspective, staffing the MRTs exclusively with firefighter/EMTs is not the most efficient use of resources. Civilian Paramedics are a less costly position than a sworn firefighter, and the training time to onboard is significantly shorter (2 weeks rather than 16). The request for FY2024 would be $150,119 plus some startup costs of $10,400. Full year funding for FY25 would be $292,638. Approving this shift mid-year would enable the department to start the hiring process for SRP’s in January and incorporate them into the MRT’s as soon as February 2024. The department plans to continue gathering data on the budgetary impact of this shift on the MRT program in order to inform the FY25 budget plan. Background - The Salt Lake City Fire Department (SLCFD) currently operates three Medical Response Teams (MRTs) with another funded at the Salt Lake City Airport beginning in January of 2024 for a total of four MRTs staffed by 16 firefighter/EMTs. This initiative was initially funded by the Council in 2014, in part to realize fuel and staffing efficiencies. Having been proven successful over the years both from a sustainability and staffing perspective, it was expanded in 2022 to include social workers when available. When a social worker is combined with an MRT the City refers to this as a Community Health Access Team (CHAT). The department has indicated that when all social worker positions are filled, their goal is to have a social worker on 2 MRT teams (becoming a CHAT), 6 days a week. Staff has included Attachment 3 showing relevant data for the first full year of CHAT operations. ➢Policy question – In addition to the relevant data collected on the MRT program, the Council may wish to ask the Administration to also collect data on any potential department-wide overtime savings of this shift. A-2: American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Grant Management Employee Expenses ($14,225 from ARPA) The Economic Development Department is requesting $14,225 of ARPA funds budgeted in previous fiscal years that was not used. The funds would cover expenses for an existing employee supporting the Department’s administration of ARPA local business direct assistance grants and local nonprofit pass-through assistance grants. The Department hired two FTEs to administer the programs through FY2023. However, the program implementation has taken longer than anticipated. One of the FTEs has left employment with the City and the position is no longer needed. This additional funding would provide a total of $125,000 for the second position through the end of FY2024. The two grant assistance programs are expected to be completed at the end of FY2024 so the second FTE would no longer be needed next fiscal year. A-3: Withdrawn Prior to Transmittal A-4: City Attorney’s Office Legislative Division Request for Four New FTEs ($297,220 from General Fund Balance) The Administration is proposing to add four new FTEs to create a Legislative Division within the City Attorney’s Office. According to the transmittal, “The primary focus of this division will be on legislative affairs, with special focus on the legislative session and the various impacts to Salt Lake City.” The amount requested for FY2024 (6 months of funding) is $297,220.40, which includes one-time startup costs such as computers ($12,000, to be budgeted as a transfer to IMS), and funding to establish workspaces and necessary equipment ($20,000). The full year cost for the four positions is $594,440.79. Note: The Administration would like to gauge Council support on this item at the first briefing such as a straw poll and consider whether to approve this item at the December 12 meeting, so that positions can be advertised/onboarded prior to the 2024 State Legislative Session which begins Tuesday, January 16, 2024. The four proposed positions are as follows: •Legislative Affairs Division Director (Grade E34 - appointed) •Senior City Attorney (Grade E39 - merit) •Special Projects Analyst (Grade E26 - merit) •Administrative Assistant (Grade N21 - merit) The proposal also includes an ordinance to amend the City Code to document this as a new division and to clarify that the City Attorney’s Office and Legislative Division report equally to both branches of government. The Administration notes that the ordinance: •Establishes that because the City Attorney manages the legal affairs of both the executive and legislative branches of government, she reports to both the Mayor and Council Chair, and can be removed at the discretion of the Mayor. •Clarifies that the City Attorney supervises the Recorder’s Office, Risk Management Division, and Division of Legislative Affairs. •Clarifies that the City Attorney may retain outside counsel on behalf of the City, if she concludes that the City Attorney’s Office has a conflict of interest, is unable, or is unavailable to perform that legal work for the City. •Creates the Division of Legislative Affairs, which will be responsible for monitoring state and federal legislation and engaging in advocacy, collaboration, and tracking of all legislative matters for the City. •Establishes the director of legislative affairs, who will work with both branches of government on the City’s legislative agenda and will report to both branches of government on legislative priorities and policies. Staff is working with the Attorney’s Office on several clarifying edits to the ordinance to ensure it matches the intent of the bullet points listed above. See Attachment 1 for the approved as to form version of the ordinance and Attachment 2 for the redlined version (showing edits in track changes format). A-5: Additional Funding for 2100 South Reconstruction in Sugar House ($3,323,950 from Transportation Impact Fees) This request would maximize the eligible use of transportation impact fees for complete streets elements in the 2100 South reconstruction project. The total estimated cost for reconstructing 2100 South through the Sugar House Business District (from 700 East to 1300 East) continues to increase due to inflation, supply chain issues, and an expanded scope in response to community-desired elements. Construction level designs are anticipated to be completed this winter. Then the project would go out to bid after which exact costs would be known. Construction may begin in 2024. The table below summarizes budget line items for this project including the additional funding requested in this budget amendment. No further funding requests are anticipated for this project. Source Amount Original 2100 South Bond Amount $8,000,000 Transportation Impact Fees $660,410 Class C $814,027 (minimum, could increase) Remaining contingency from 300 West project that can be applied to 2100 South $850,000 2022-2023 CIP Complete Streets $300,000 2023-2024 CIP Complete Streets $2,750,000 (of $3,293,000 – the remainder goes to Virginia Street) Additional Streets Reconstruction Bond Funds from Budget Amendment #1 $1,500,000 Requested additional transportation impact fees in Budget Amendment #3 $3,323,590 Total $18,198,027 Note: Public Utilities elements are funded separately and not reflected in the table The project webpage is publicly available at www.2100southslc.org A-6: Additional Funding for 600/700 North Reconstruction ($3,204,371 from Transportation Impact Fees) This request would almost maximize the eligible use of transportation impact fees for complete streets elements in the 600/700 North corridor reconstruction and transformation project. It is eligible for another $400,000 of transportation impact fees however the current unallocated available balance is not enough to cover that additional amount. The Council may see a request in a future budget opening for the additional $400,000 if enough transportation impact fee revenue comes in later this fiscal year or next. The total estimated cost for reconstructing the corridor (from Redwood Road to 800 West) continues to increase due to inflation, supply chain issues, and an expanded scope in response to community- desired elements. The 2022 Sales Tax Revenue Bond included $9,753,000 for this project. The Council also approved $1,879,654 in FY2022 CIP from Funding Our Future transit dollars for this project. A frequent (every 15 minutes) bus service route runs along this corridor. Several other smaller funding sources are also anticipated to be used for the project such as Class C funds, remaining Streets Reconstruction bond funds unused from completed projects, grants, and CIP complete streets funds. Construction level designs are anticipated to be completed this winter. Then the project would go out to bid after which exact costs would be known. Construction may begin in 2025. The project webpage is publicly available at www.600northslc.org A-7: Security Access Control System Upgrades ($400,000 from General Fund Balance) Additional one-time funding is needed to continue transitioning City buildings to an upgraded S2 control access system as the citywide standard. The back-end software was recently upgraded for the Public Safety Building and City Hall. This item would allow the same upgrade for Plaza 349 and the Justice Court buildings. The funding also includes card readers and proximity cards (sometimes called smart badges or access cards) for employees using the four buildings. The Council could discuss this item in a closed session since the topic relates to security devices, personnel, and/or systems. A-8: Additional Funds to Purchase Electric Trucks instead of Sedans for the Compliance Division ($20,000 from General Fund Balance) Current funding would allow the Fleet Division to purchase two electric sedans. One sedan to replace a jeep that is past useful life and another sedan for three new FTEs added in the annual budget to create the RV and Long-term Parking Enforcement Team. This funding request would allow both vehicles to be electric trucks instead of sedans. The larger vehicles would provide greater capabilities for the team to operate during the winter, inclement weather, and in neighborhoods with steep roads. The trucks also have larger cargo space for equipment and supplies such as pay station kiosks. A-9: Adding Multimodal Specialized Road Markings Maintenance Funding into the Streets Division’s Base Budget ($200,000 from General Fund Balance) The Council did not fund this item in FY2024 CIP but requested the Administration evaluate adding this ongoing maintenance need to the ongoing base budget for the Public Services Department or the Transportation Division in the Community and Neighborhoods Department. The Council previously funded this item in CIP for a couple years. The Administration recommends increasing the Streets Division’s base budget by $200,000. This item would be a one-time appropriation from General Fund Balance. The next annual budget would then include the $200,000 as ongoing. Council Members discussed the competitive CIP process, and that basic maintenance and safety funding better belongs in the annual operating budgets of some departments. Any unused funds at the end of the fiscal year would lapse to General Fund Balance. The funding will be used for hiring contractors with specialized equipment. Examples of city-owned assets that could be maintained include 1,010 bike racks, over three miles of green painted pavement, bike lanes, enhanced crosswalks, and radar feedback signs. The Public Services Department and Transportation Division will develop optimal maintenance schedules for these assets and evaluate potential equipment and staffing costs to bring the work in-house vs. the current approach of using outside contractors. A-10: Downtown Parking Pay Station Replacements ($135,993 from General Fund Balance) The blue tower parking pay stations in the downtown are over a decade old and past the recommended useful life. This is causing increasing maintenance costs and operations issues. The Administration issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) and is evaluating the bid submissions. This item is being included in a budget amendment because of timeliness challenges around equipment ordering and delivery windows. Based on the RFP responses, the Administration estimates a seven- year payment schedule would be best. An initial half year payment would be this fiscal year and then larger payments evenly spread across years two through seven (fiscal years 2025 – 2030). A shorter payment schedule or a one-time lump- sum payment could result in savings because the total cost would be less than the seven-year payment schedule. However, the larger upfront costs for a shorter schedule or one-time lump-sum payment would also reduce the General Fund Balance more in the short-term. New parking pay stations are expected to have features not available on the current older equipment such as pay by license plate capabilities, public service information like events in the area, business and organization sponsored parking validations, pay parking citations at a station, multiple languages, and pollution sensors. The old meters would be recycled to the extent possible. New meters may be in new locations based on revenue evaluations for old station locations. Policy Questions: ➢Public Education – The Council may wish to ask the Administration how the public, downtown businesses, and other organizations will learn about the new parking pay stations. The Council may also wish to ask whether the existing ParkSLC mobile app will continue, or a new app would be needed. ➢Parking Demand Management – The Council may wish to ask the Administration would the new stations allow the City to improve parking demand management practices and whether funding would be needed to study options such as variable pricing during peak hours, paying for shorter or longer time periods, real-time information on where parking spaces are available (public and private), reservation-based parking spaces, vending zones like food trucks, and supporting the potential pedestrianization of closing Main Street during certain times. A-11: Reappropriation for Rail Spur Removal ($205,000 from General Fund Balance to CIP Fund) The Council originally approved this funding in Budget Amendment #1 of FY2023. A reappropriation is needed because the funds were not used by the end of last fiscal year and lapsed to General Fund Balance. The rail spur at 600 West and 500 South was conveyed in 1997 by the City to a private party, with partial consideration for this conveyance being an easement to construct, operate, and maintain a railroad spur and associated facilities. Since the rail spur has not been used for over one year, the City is contractually obligated to remove it. There have been a couple similar rail spur removals in recent years. The Administration stated this is believed to be the last rail spur removal in the area. Note that the budget spreadsheet in the Administration’s transmittal mistakenly identifies this item as ongoing when the funding is one-time. A-12: Police Officer Overtime Related to the Sanctioned Campground Pilot Program ($500,000 from ARPA Funds Unused in Prior Fiscal Years) This item would provide one-time funding for police officer overtime shifts at and in the area around the sanctioned campground pilot program (“temporary shelter community”) at approximately 300 South and 600 West. It is expected to operate until April 30, 2024. The overtime shifts would be voluntary so some might go unfilled. The overtime rate would be $65/hour as an incentive for shifts to be filled. The Police Department will evaluate staffing levels to determine how many officers are needed by shift (e.g., days, evenings, and nights). The Department will also utilize vacancy savings to fund additional overtime shifts as needed. Over the five months of December through April, the $500,000 could provide an average of five police officers working 10-hour overtime shifts per day. The actual staffing levels per day and time of day will vary based on officers signing up for voluntary shifts, the volume of calls for service, proactive patrols, and other factors. At the time of publishing this staff report an ARPA reconciliation was pending to show which budgets were unused in prior fiscal years and whether any more ARPA funding remains available for repurposing. The Council previously put $1.5 million from the General Fund into a holding account for potential expenses related to the temporary sanctioned campground. All those funds remain in the holding account. Policy Questions: ➢Where would officers be for overtime shifts? – The Council may wish to ask the Administration would officers be inside the sanctioned campground, immediately around it, and/or how wide of an area around it would be proactively patrolled? ➢Additional Funding Needs – The Council may wish to ask the Administration whether more funding is anticipated to be needed for the temporary sanctioned campground’s operations, mitigating public safety issues, or other related costs. A-13: New Financial Grant Analyst FTE in the Finance Department for Grants Administered by the Housing Stability Division ($46,643 from CDBG and $14,548 from ARPA) This request would fund one FTE for the remainder of Fiscal Year 2024. The position is intended to oversee grants administered by the Housing Stability Program. The proposed grant analyst will work under the direction of the Deputy Director of Finance and will assist in the financial monitoring of multiple grants to ensure compliance with city financial processes as well as state and federal grant requirements. The position will be split across two grant funding sources – 75% CDBG and 25% from ARPA. A job description for this position was included in the Administration’s transmittal. The City has experienced a significant increase in the number and complexity of grant applications and grant awards over the past few years. This trend is expected to continue as departments apply for more grants such as billions of dollars in federal grants spread over multiple years from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and Inflation Reduction Act. Historically, the City has not used all the available funding from CDBG to cover the costs of administering the program as allowed under U.S. Housing and Urban Development (HUD) regulations. There is anticipated to be enough ongoing CDBG funding to help cover most costs related to this new FTE over the long-term. The remaining 25% of the costs may be covered by other grant funding depending on how much the FTE directly works on those programs. The ability to use grant funds for personnel expenses is often limited to hours spent working directly on the grant programs. ➢Policy question: The Council may wish to ask the Administration to provide metrics on the number of grant applications and awards in recent years and are additional resources (e.g., software, FTEs, trainings) needed to improve management of grants. A-14: Consulting for Enterprise Billing Systems ($250,000 from the IMS Fund Balance) This item was previously appropriated in Budget Amendment 5 of FY2023 but, due to delays in the RFP process, was ineligible to be encumbered prior to the fiscal year end and fell to IMS’s fund balance. The RFP process is underway, and the Department wishes to reappropriate this funding. The Public Utilities Billing System (PUBS) was developed and expanded by IMS over the past two decades. The system is reaching the end of life and needs to be replaced. In addition to Public Utilities, some General Fund departments use the system, like Sustainability and Community and Neighborhoods. This funding is to hire a consultant to evaluate the City’s needs and identify the best path for a smooth implementation of the system’s replacement. Microsoft support for the current system is expected to end as soon as July 2024. A-15: Mill & Overlay Pilot Program for Street Pavement Maintenance ($205,177 from the Quarter Cent Sales Tax for Transportation Fund Balance and Transferring $955,177 to the Fleet Fund) The Council approved $750,000 in FY2024 CIP from quarter cent sales tax for transportation funds to purchase an asphalt paver and a cold-milling machine that do this type of pavement maintenance. In the FY2024 annual budget, the Council also approved $130,000 ongoing from Funding Our Future for program supplies. The Public Services Department was notified that the manufacturer increased prices after these appropriations were approved. $205,177 is needed in addition to the $750,000 in CIP to purchase the two machines. The Department has previously rented these machines. Purchasing the machines is estimated to be a more cost-effective option in the long term than continuing to rent. This item would also swap the funding sources for two projects to better align funding eligibilities with project uses. At the time of publishing this report, staff has requested information on the allowable uses of quarter cent sales tax for transportation funds as equipment purchases were previously thought to be eligible. The Mill & Overlay equipment would be shifted away from quarter cent sales tax for transportation funds to General Fund dollars and Class C (gas tax) funds that were also approved by the Council in FY2024 CIP. An equivalent $750,000 for complete streets reconstruction projects would be shifted away from General Fund dollars and Class C (gas tax) funds to the quarter cent sales tax for transportation funds. The Mill and Overlay provides a pavement maintenance option that is greater than filling a pothole or chip & slurry surface treatments and less than a full street reconstruction. For example, cutting down a few inches into deteriorated asphalt and removing a several foot stretch and then backfilling with new asphalt. ➢Policy question: The Council may wish to consider a straw poll for this item so the Department could proceed with drafting contracts before the next price increase which is anticipated to be in mid-December. A-16: The Road Home’s Family Hotel Winter Interim Plan ($300,000 from General Fund Balance) This item would provide one-time funding to assist the State and The Road Home’s efforts to provide motel rooms to families experiencing homelessness from December 2023 to June 2024. The motel vouchers could be considered a stopgap option until a new family non-congregate shelter opens next spring / summer. This new facility will be in addition to the existing Midvale Family Recourse Center or MFRC. The average cost is estimated at $600-800 per week for a hotel room serving a family of four. Actual costs could be more or less depending on the size of a family and variable rates at different hotels. A one-page summary of the plan is shown as the last page of the Administration’s transmittal. The Road Home stated there are existing contracts with motels for 12 rooms and one case manager assigned to the program. Additional case managers would be hired per 12 hotel rooms that are contracted to ensure adequate staffing to workload ratios. A supportive services manager is also anticipated to be hired. The Administration has requested a straw poll on this item to facilitate contract development in advance of the final Council vote. ➢Policy Question: The Council may wish to ask the Administration what is the funding gap for the overall plan and would the City’s $300,000 fill the existing funding gap? Adding up all the costs on the one-page summary indicates the total cost could exceed $1 million. The Council may also wish to task what other entities are contributing funding towards the plan? Section B: Grants for Existing Staff Resources (None) Section C: Grants for New Staff Resources (None) Section D: Housekeeping D-1: Moving Funding for Downtown Central Precinct Tenant Improvements for North Temple Substation and Downtown Central Project ($513,208 from CAN to Public Services) Funding for the Downtown Central Precinct Tenant Improvements for North Temple Sub Station and Downtown Central Project in the amount of $513,208 was added by the Council to the CAN budget during the budget decision making process. However, this funding should have gone to Public Services since it will be the Facilities division that will be managing the improvements. This item does not allocate any additional funding, but simply moves funding from one department to another for the same work. D-2: IMS FY 2023 Encumbrance Roll Forward ($4,269,083) IMS has encumbered money that was expected to be paid out of the FY23 funds and either will need to be paid, or has already been paid in FY24. These encumbrances are listed in the Carry Over Encumbrance reports. All of these items have been approved for purchase by central finance in a prior year. These expenses will be paid for by the annual allocation that IMS uses to collect its revenue on an annual basis. D-3: Move Cultural Core Funding to Non-Departmental from Arts Council Cost Center ($250,000) This item is to move funds from the Art’s Council Division to the Economic Development’s Non-Departmental budget. This is an effort to align funding with the appropriate cost center within the new financial system. Section E: Grants Requiring No Staff Resources (None) Section F: Donations (None) Section G: Grant Consent Agenda G-1: Utah Department of Natural Resources/Forestry ($200,000 from Misc. Grants) The Division of Forestry, Fire and State Lands (FFSL) has awarded Salt Lake City $200,000 for the purposes of removing navigational hazards, including downed trees, garbage, and other debris from the Jordan River from 2100 South to 2400 North. This funding will provide for safer conditions on the river channel for recreational boaters. A public hearing was held on September 19, 2023. G-2: Department of Workforce Services-- Know Your Neighbor ($100,000 from Misc. Grants) DWS is extending the Salt Lake City's Know Your Neighbor contract. The original contract was for $100,000 to pay for the salary and benefits of a full-time volunteer coordinator from October 1, 2022, to September 30,2023. The extension will include an increase of $100,000 to extend the period for one year starting October 1, 2023, and ending September 30, 2024. Thus, making the total amount of the contract $200,000. This is a refugee volunteer program that runs through the Mayor’s office. This program benefits refugee clients as well as people from the larger community who volunteer to help. Public Hearing will be held November 7, 2023. No match is required. G-3: EPA Salt Lake City Schovaers Electronics Cleanup ($495,200 from Misc. Grants) This is one of two Brownfields grants awarded by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to the Salt Lake City area for the purpose of cleaning up land of hazardous substances, pollutant or contaminants for the revitalization of the properties. These grants are part of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA). This grant has been awarded to Salt Lake City in the amount of $495,200 to conduct remediation activities at the former Schovaers site (22 South Jeremy Street) in Salt Lake City. A second grant for $1 million was awarded to Salt Lake County for the assessment and cleanup projects in Magna Township. A public hearing was held on December 13, 2022. No match is required. G-4: Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) ($38,000 from Misc. Grants) The Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) provides state, local, tribal and territorial emergency management agencies with the resources required for implementation of the National Preparedness System and works toward the National Preparedness Goal of a secure and resilient nation. This is the annual allocation from the state and will be used to support Emergency Management functions and programs. A public hearing was held on May 16, 2023. A 50% match is required. G-5: Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) - SLCPD Victim Advocates ($346,132 from Misc. Grants) The Salt Lake City Police Department is requesting continuation funding for our SLCPD VOCA grant funded Victim Advocate positions. Additionally, there are emergency funds for assisting victims included in the application. The grant will continue to fund 2.69 existing FTEs and includes emergency funds that will be used to help victims. This is a two-year grant. The period of performance starts July 1, 2023, and ends June 30,2025. A public hearing was held on November 7, 2023. No match is required. G-6: Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant ($386,620 from Misc. Grants) The Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program (JAG) allows states and local governments to support a broad range of activities to prevent and control crime and to improve the criminal justice system, some of which could have environmental impacts. The Salt Lake City Police Department will use this money for the following: •Professional Travel Training for Sworn and Civilian Staff - $40,125 • Pole Cameras - $20,000 • High Speed License Plate Recognition (+Accessories) - $22,970 • Climbing Equipment - $20,160 • Night Vision Goggles and Mounts - $49,098 • Optics - $11,192 • Ballistic Rated Windshields - $19,500 • Surveillance Trailer Maintenance and Replacement - $14,000 • K9 GPS and Narcotics Enforcement Supplies - $6,132 • Community Policing and Targeted Enforcement Overtime - $76,100 • Subaward to Salt Lake County (BJA allocation) - $53,672 • Subaward to Unified Police Department (BJA allocation) - $53,671 No new staff members are proposed as part of this item. A public hearing was held on September 19, 2023. No match is required. G-7: Rocky Mountain Power Make Ready Rosewood Park ($29,508 from Misc. Grants) This item supports necessary infrastructure for the installation of one (1) approved dual port charger at Rosewood Park, located at 1400 North 1200 West in Salt Lake City. This charger will be available to the public 24/7. There is no cost related to the charger in this incentive.

Each MRT is comprised of 4 Firefighters (FFs), for a total of 16 FFs allocated and funded for the MRT program. All FFs currently allocated to the MRT are Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs). By staffing a MRT with 3 EMTs and 1 Paramedic, rather than 4 EMTS, the response capability would increase by Replacing one of the EMTs as a Paramedic (Advanced Life Support or ALS) would increase the capability of the MRTs by approximately 30% and allow them to perform more advanced patient assessments. Paramedics are currently at a premium nationwide. Fortunately, SLCFD trains and remains appropriately staffed with Paramedics on our Medic Engines (4-handed) for our optimal response model - two Paramedics on each of eight daily Medic (ALS) Engines within SLC. These Medic Engines respond to the most serious medical and fire calls and should remain staffed in this configuration as a 4-handed unit for maximum capability. Proposal This item it to establish 4 new FTEs (Medical Response Paramedics) and reclassify 4 existing FTEs (Firefighters) to Medical Response Paramedics. The SLCFD proposes to diversify our current MRT model by replacing and displacing a total of eight (8) MRT FF EMTs with Medical Response Paramedics (SRPs). This would ideally staff one (1) Paramedic on each unit of four daily operating MRTs. The transition would expand the current MRTs response capability with an ALS component while maintaining the integrity of the MRT as a FD resource responding from and residing within select SLCFD fire stations. The SRPs would be civilian, potentially sworn, and eligible to participate in the Firefighters or Tier 2 Public Safety/Firefighter retirement systems. The SRPs would participate in a training regimen developed by the SLCFD for their specific role within our EMS response model. SRPs will serve under a new job title, new wage schedule, and possibly as part of SLCFD’s Local 81 labor group. Process The SLCFD would realize eight (8) Medical Response Paramedics through a combination of additional FTEs and conversion of existing FTEs: 1. SLCFD is requesting four (4) additional FTEs in the form of Medical Response Paramedics at a half-year cost $150,119 plus some start-up costs of $10,400. Full year funding for FY25 would be an additional budget increase of $142,519. No new equipment (radio’s, tablets, vehicles, etc.) is required. These new positions would be funded for six months beginning January 2024. 2. SLCFD would retain the option to convert four (4) existing vacant FF positions currently funded for the MRT to SRPs by the end of calendar year 2023. 3. The remaining four FFs displaced by the four requested SRPs would be utilized to fill 4 -handed vacancies or additional resources throughout Salt Lake City in an effort to reduce OT and consistently staff SLCFD heavy apparatus. Salt Lake City FY 2023-24 Budget Amendment #3 Initiative Number/Name Fund Amount 2 A-2: ARPA Employee Expenses Misc. Grants $14,225.00 Department: Finance & Economic Development Prepared By: Mary Beth Thompson Funding in the amount of $14,225.00 is being requested to cover expenses for one grant employee for the remainder of the Fiscal Year. Throughout the year, staffing levels have been in flux to support this ongoing need . The additional amount will sufficiently cover the personnel expenses, factoring in vacancies savings, to support Economic Development’s ongoing ARPA grant activity.

The primary focus of this division will be on legislative affairs, with special focus on the legislative session and the various impacts to Salt Lake City. The proposed funding in the amount of $297,220.40 assumes the positions to be filled for six-months in Fiscal Year 2024, with a hire date in January. The four (4) positions are to be ongoing, with a financial impact of $594,440.79 annually beginning if FY25. The four proposed positions are as follows: • Legislative Affairs Director (E34) • Senior City Attorney (E39) • Special Projects Analyst (E26) • Administrative Assistant (N21) The supporting Ordinance: • Establishes that because the City Attorney manages the legal affairs of both the executive and legislative branches of government, she reports to both the Mayor and Council chair, and can be removed at the discretion of the Mayor. • Clarifies that the City Attorney supervises the Recorder’s Office, Risk Management Division and Division of Legislative Affairs. • Clarifies that the City Attorney may retain outside counsel on behalf of the City, if she concludes that the City Attorney’s Office has a conflict of interest, is unable, or is unavailable to perform that legal work for the City. • Creates the Division of Legislative Affairs, which will be responsible for monitoring state and federal legislation and engaging in advocacy, collaboration, and tracking of all legislative matters for the City. • Establishes the director of legislative affairs, who will work with both branches of government on the City’s legislative agenda, and will report to both branches of government on legislative priorities and policies. This initial funding request accounts for one-time expenses for staff equipment such as computers ($12,000), funding via a Non Departmental Transfer ($12,000), and a tenant improvement to established workspaces and necessary equipment ($20,000). Salt Lake City FY 2023-24 Budget Amendment #3 Initiative Number/Name Fund Amount 3 A-5: Streets Impact Fee Funding for 2100 South Reconstruction Project Impact Fees $3,323,590.00 Department: Public Services – Engineering Prepared By: Mark Stevens For questions, please include Mark Stevens, Mike Atkinson, Jordan Smith, Jorge Chamorro Engineering and Transportation are requesting a budget amendment to increase the appropriation of Streets Impact Fees for the 2100 South Reconstruction Project. Multiple departments (Engineering, Transportation, the Finance Capital Asset Planning Team, and the Office of the City Attorney) have conducted an analysis of the 2100 South Reconstruction Project, and based on the increase in overall cost and the increase in the portion of the project related to Complete Streets, this project is eligible for an additional $3,323,590 of Streets Impact Fees. A-6: Streets Impact Fee Funding for 600/700 North Reconstruction Project Impact Fees $3,204,371.00 Department: Public Services – Engineering Prepared By: Mark Stevens For questions, please include Mark Stevens, Mike Atkinson, Jordan Smith, Jorge Chamorro Engineering and Transportation are requesting a budget amendment to increase the appropriation of Streets Impact Fees for the 600 North/ 700 North Reconstruction Project. Multiple departments (Engineering, Transportation, the Finance Capital Asset Planning Team, and the Office of the City Attorney) have conducted an analysis of the 600 North/ 700 North Reconstruction Project, and based on the increase in overall cost and the increase in the portion of the project related to Complete Streets, this project is eligible for an additional $3,204,371 of Streets Impact Fees. A-7: Access Control System Upgrade – Security GF $400,000.00 Department: Public Services Prepared By: Jorge Chamorro For questions, please include Jorge Chamorro The current access control system and devices across City buildings are now considered outdated and vulnerable, and staff are proposing this be addressed before the system fails. This system is used for access badges issued to all City employees to scan at certain doors to gain access to a given space. The Safety and Security Program proposes continuing the transition to the S2 control access system as a City-wide standard. With the recent allocation of funding from Council, the Public Safety Buildi ng and City Hall have upgraded their back-end software. The funding requested for the next phase should transition Plaza 349 and the Justice Courts. Additionally, access cards and card readers will be purchased for all four buildings. This project scope has been developed with staff from various departments, including IMS, to ensure standards and needs are met. The estimated cost for this project is $400,000. A-8: Compliance Electric Vehicle Funds Transfer to Fleet GF ($20,000.00) GF $20,000.00 Fleet $20,000.00 Department: Public Services – Compliance Prepared By: Erik O’Brien / Julie Crookston For questions please include Erik O’Brien, Julie Crookston, Nancy Bean, Denise Sorensen Public Services - Compliance is requesting a transfer of $20,000 to the Fleet Replacement Fund helping cover the difference in cost to purchase two electric trucks instead of the originally funded smaller vehicles. Fleet has been presented with an opportunity to order these electric trucks. One of the vehicles is part of the replacement cycle, upgrading the originally intended vehicle to a more capable one, and will allow for Parking Enforcement operations to continue during winter snow events, especially in areas like the Avenues. Additionally, the extra cargo space is needed to transport equipment such as pay station kiosks and equipment as needed. In addition to these advantages, the second Salt Lake City FY 2023-24 Budget Amendment #3 Initiative Number/Name Fund Amount 4 vehicle will provide adequate space to transport three (3) mitigation officers (FTEs recently approved) and their supplies for our Long-Term Parking Mitigation Team. The addition of these 2 EVs will bring Compliance closer to their goal to have a 100% electric fleet. A-9: Road Marking Maintenance GF $200,000.00 Department: Public Services – Streets Prepared By: Jorge Chamorro For question, please include Jorge Chamorro Over the past few years the Transportation Division has been successful in obtaining funding for special road markings through the CIP process, which include green paint on certain bike lanes . After assessing the current inventory of assets made up of 1010 bike racks and 3.23 miles of green-painted bike lanes and markings, staff has concluded that this ongoing maintenance need should no longer rely on the CIP process but rather be added to the Streets operating budget. At this time the need does not justify upfront cost of equipment procurement, Streets will develop a maintenance schedule and oversee a contract to perform the necessary maintenance work. If funding is approved for this item, though most of the work would not occur in the winter, contract development and work scheduling could be done in the meantime with work happening as weather allows. The Streets Division is requesting $200,000 to be added to their budget for ongoing maintenance of road markings and assets recently inventoried. A-10: Pay Station Replacement GF $135,992.49 Department: Public Services/Finance For questions please include Mary Beth Thompson and Jorge Chamorro The current pay stations were purchased over 10 years ago. Due to their age, they are past the end of their useful life and a t risk of failure. New pay stations will allow the City to modernize the services offered to end users. The new pay stations will provide more features for the public including parking payment, information sharing about events going on city wide, the capability to pay by license plate technology, potential pollution sensors, and other innovative features. The modernization of the pay stations will allow for smoother staff operations and continued service to end users. City Finance is recommending a 7-year amortization rather than using the General Fund for one-time payment. The amortization schedule is attached and includes a 7-year payment schedule, with $135,992.49 due in Year 1, and $271,984.98 due in years two (2) through year seven (7). This includes an interest rate of 4.60%. The Council may consider a 5-year schedule which is also attached, with an interest rate of 4.77%. This item is being brought forward with Budget Amendment 3 due to the Request for Proposal process and market conditions around equipment. At the time of budget development, staff did not have clear insight into the cost or timeline of pay station procurement and delivery. Following the completion of the RFP process, staff feel it is best to proceed with the selected vendor for the reasons outlined above. A-11: Rail Spur Removal GF $205,000.00 CIP $205,000.00 Department: Public Services – Engineering Prepared By: Jorge Chamorro / JP Goates For questions, please include Jorge Chamorro and JP Goates Housekeeping request to move $205,000, approved by Council on BA#1 of FY23, item A -7, but placed on a GF cost center, and were recaptured at the end of FY23, from Fund Balance to a Capital Project Cost Center for Engineering to initiate the project.

I don't have any problems with Multi Family home, I think it's great but I had one question two nights ago about 1380 S it's a suspension home that got broken into and has been evicted for years and I hope this can be remodeled but suddenly it's rezoning now but I don't know. it's just sounds suspicious to me. thank you bye 12/6/2023 17:07 James Alfandre Fleet Block Comment I'd like this comment to be read during the public comment period: I'm James Alfandre, a board member of the Granary District Alliance. I support rezoning the Fleet Block to a Form Based zone, however, I believe it could be short sighted at this time to specify where the open space will be located for a couple of reasons: 1. Large transmission lines along 800 S are a large barrier to development on the north side of the fleet block, which could be a logical place for open space 2. Open space could be implemented towards the middle of the block, providing a preferred condition found at Pioneer Park and 300 South, except extending this preferred condition around the majority of the open space. Having open space adjacent to 300 W ( a 6-lane road) will create a harsh human experience and could limit the effectiveness and usefulness of this portion of open space. This proposed open space is critical to our neighborhood, and I just want to make sure it is done correctly and don't see the need to call out a specific location at this point in the process. Thank you! -- James Alfandre Managing Partner | Urban Alfandre www.urbanalfandre.com 12/7/2023 8:14 Paul Inkenbrandt Jordan River Trail North Temple Jordan River Trail North Temple I have been going on walks with my colleagues at the DNR for the past 10 years. We have always used the Jordan River trail for recreation. On my most recent walk, right next to the Fairpark, I was offered drugs by three different people. Encampments and trash were rampant. There were multiple people walking around like zombies. This was the first time I have felt unsafe in this city. If you don't think there is a problem, I challenge you to take a walk with your family on the Jordan River trail in this area. If the city's greenspaces can't be used by taxpaying citizens of the West Side, then shame on you for letting this happen. The Jordan River used to be a nice place, and you have let it descend into a mess. I am documenting a disproportionate response to illegal camping and drug use in Salt Lake City. This selective enforcement is unfair to people living on the West side. Do better.

Ira Hinckley Long- term resident Date/Time Opened Contact Name Subject Description 12/11/2023 9:21 Tyler Christensen Parking Enforcement Hi Olivia, I’m writing to bring your attention to an unfortunate experience I had downtown last night, and a plea to improve downtown experience, for businesses’ sake. I have lived downtown for 5 years and mostly learned to navigate parking. But last night I made the admittedly poor choice of parking at 329 s State at Red Lotus, which said customers only 24/7. The fact that the business was closed until Monday gave me false confidence in this move. My car was towed within minutes. I had to navigate a harrowing experience to free my car from a junkyard off beck street in the freezing cold and the middle of the night. Thank God I spoke Spanish or I never could have got my car at all. $375 and two hours later I am chastised but also a bit indignant this situation happens at all. This parking lot is prime real estate for downtown businesses. Why does this business (Utah Towing LLC and Red Lotus) get to operate it as a trap for downtown visitors? Is predatory parking enforcement in the best interest of residents or visitors? How many such traps exist in our city, and who could put a stop to this? Parking should be for business, not towing companies. Thank you for fielding my concern, and information on who else to direct it too. Graciously, Tyler C 12/11/2023 11:25 Mike Moore (EXTERNAL) Re: News from District Two: December Newsletter ❄ You people have no clue how to help small business. Just empty words bravely spoken. 12/11/2023 16:51 Henry Adkins Homelessness in Salt Lake City./D6 Dear Mr. Dan Dugan I am a student at East High School and am currently studying homelessness in my government class. I wanted to reach out to you directly as I think being able to express my concerns to my council member can really make an impact. Recently, I have done extensive research into homelessness here in Salt Lake at specifically around East High School as it is a very present issue. Many students here at the school must rely on the pantry to access necessities, like hygiene products, food, and clothes. However, understanding homelessness can be boiled down to a few generalizations. Mental Illness, Addiction, and Domestic Violence. As a community member, I think maybe our elected officials are not doing everything that can be done to combat homelessness. Now, of course only being a high schooler, I can’t truly change how our leaders tackle this issue, I have a few ideas to combat the issue. Addiction is a serious issue in Salt Lake already, and it leading to homelessness makes it even worse. I don’t feel that there are enough incentives to recover from addiction within the city. The city focuses more on its economy rather than combating an issue that can negatively affect the economy. In addition, I do not think there is enough of an incentive for individuals, primarily youth to volunteer for community shelters/food banks. This upcoming holiday season will see many individuals going hungry and taking shelter in the cold. Running more programs to incentivize the youth to do volunteer work can really benefit the area financially, and socially. Thank you for considering my thoughts - Henry Adkins, East High School. 12/11/2023 17:03 Su Boddie Affordable Housing Incentives You almost had me. Then I read "reduced parking requirements" as an incentive. Do you people not drive? Do you not have friends who would visit if they had a place to park? Your public transportation system is not so good that it is accessible to those who would like to get together for an evening. Not everyone has to be in bed by 10:00, so why do they have to leave their host's dwelling by then? How do you have 168 units with 84 garages and 84 carports with 8 - 10 visitor spaces? Especially when tenants use their garages as storage units, thereby needing the visitor spaces for their vehicles. You want to allow for taller buildings (also a mistake in an earthquake-prone environment)? Fine. Mandate that the first two levels should be for parking: tenants and visitors. I am fairly certain that reducing parking requirements should NOT be an item on the "incentive" lists. If there is no place for parking, there is no place for a multi-use building. Date/Time Opened Contact Name Subject Description 12/12/2023 8:53 Kurt allen Fisher 1/2 General comment on train crossing at 800 South and 900 South in Salt Lake City Councilperson Puy, This note is a comment that indirectly responds to your solicitation of train delay stories. This note principally concerns the October 30, 2023 death of cyclist Teng by collision with a UTA Frontrunner commuter train at 900 South where that street crosses the UTA and the Union Pacific train tracks. This note is sent to you be direct email for review by your community liason due to its length and tangential relation to your primary train-delay campaign. I encourage you to also focus on a redesign of the 800 South and 900 South track crossings financed by UDOT during its I-15 expansion evaluation because UTA commuter train speeds between the Intermodal Station and 900 South are excessive. In that stretch, Frontrunner trains do not operate in a fully protected corridor. Beginning south of 900 South, UTA trains travel in a fully protected corridor. Mr. Teng's death does not appear to be a simple "failure to keep a lookout" case, as asserted by the UTA spokesperson. The key design issue, which relates to both the 800 South and 900 South track crossings, is the operational speed of the UTA commuter train. The interurban FrontRunner leaves the 300 South Intermodal station to begin its run to Lehi. I have only ridden it south twice. This is a high-speed train that runs in a protected right-of-way separated from traffic and pedestrians except between the Intermodal Station at 300 South, through the 800 South intersection, until the 900 South crossing. Then it enters the protected right-of-way that continues just before entering the 5300 South Midvale station. Unlike the Union Pacific and urban Trax trains that keep to about 30 mph, the FrontRunner is already doing, I estimate, between 40 and 50 mph after traveling about 4,000 feet from the 300 Station and before it enters the protected corridor just to the south of 900 South. Why? Should not UTA keep the FrontRunner at a lower operational speed until it enters the protected corridor beginning just after 900 South? The FrontRunner train could just as easily travel at one or two miles faster between 900 and 5300 South and still arrive at its destination in the same period of time. An analogy are auto drivers on I-15 who insist on driving 77-80 mph when the posted speed limit is 65-70 mph. The Highway Patrol reminds us that the added speed may only get you Sandy from downtown Salt Lake three or four minutes faster, but is it worth it given the reduced safety margin? I garden at a community garden one block to the west of this crossing, and I have regularly observed and have crossed this intersection since April 2023. The crossing is visible from the community garden. It is a common occurrence for the south bound UTA Frontrunner trains to speed through the intersection at a high speed that is to fast for humans to respond to. The UTA FrontRunner trains blare a loud decibel horn as they approach and transit the intersection, with approximately a two or three second warning. It is quite loud and jarring even from one block away. Then as the high-speed interurban train enters the intersection, it starts to continuously blow the warning horn until the last FrontRunner car has exited the intersection. But this does not always happen; rarely the Frontrunner does not sound a warning horn. Date/Time Opened Contact Name Subject Description 12/12/2023 8:53 Kurt allen Fisher 2/2 CONTINUED!! General comment on train crossing at 800 South and 900 South in Salt Lake City On the evening of November 10, 2023, around approximately 6 pm, I witnessed a high-speed Frontrunner train blow through the 900 South I-15 crossing and it did not blow its warning horn. As always, the automatic crossing gates were down. I was gardening at the 9-Line garden. I witnessed the failure to sound a warning horn again around Decmember 1, but I did not keep detailed notes on that event. But at these trains' high speeds, there really is not enough time for anyone entering the tracks "early" to react to the oncoming train even when the Frontrunner operator activates the warning horn. That is the issue. Should UTA keep the FrontRunner speed down to 30 mph from the 300 South Intermodal Station until it enters the protected right- of-way just south of 900 South? Once in the protected right-of-way, then the FrontRunner could accelerate safety to interurban freeway speeds and still arrive at its scheduled time at 5300 South. Recently, Salt Lake City completed a several million-dollar pedestrian bridge over these same railroad tracks at 400 West and 300 North. For generations, westside high schoolers have made the dangerous crossing of those tracks from their homes to West High School at 300 North and 600 West. At that location, I-15 is not an interference. The I-15 freeway prevents a similar bridge solution at the 900 South crossing but not at the 800 South crossing. The I-15 freeway is currently in an EIS phase of environmental review concerning a proposed expansion by adding lanes. This train-crossing intersection will have to be replaced when the freeway expansion is eventually approved, designed, and implemented sometime in the next five years. The redesign should finance new solutions at 800 South and 900 South that separates the train tracks into a fully protected corridor. Yes, it will be expensive, but a permanent solution is needed. I am a District Two resident. Your consideration of these views in your train-delay advocacy campaign and train evidence gathering is greatly appreciated. Very Truly Yours, Kurt A. Fisher.

I am astonished that the exemptions for hand-held power equipment granted by the County would allow for such an egregious assault on residents' ears and lungs and beseech you to do all you can to get whatever ordinance needs to be changed so that I and other of your constituents aren't victimized going forward. Sincerely, Rob Martin 12/12/2023 10:54 Joni Williams Your AHI I am dismayed that Salt Lake City Council Chair Darin Mano considers it a "big win" to have passed an ordinance that is destroying the beautiful neighborhoods of Salt Lake. The only thing the City Council cares about is making themselves look like they are working on the most "media friendly" issues, and not helping their actual constituents. You reduce parking requirements for these massive apartment complexes, when most people in the west own vehicles. So we then have street parking problems. You reduce our lanes of traffic and put in bike lanes used by the very few, which in turn causes more traffic congestion and therefore actually increases air pollution. Let's worry more about making our city hospitable to those who actually live and work here, and not on how many "likes" your social media page receives.

On street parking is challenging now with houses having driveways that cannot accommodate all the vehicles at some houses. We already have multi-generations living in one house with more vehicles than the driveway can hold. On days the snowplow needs to clear the street this does become an issue as there is no off street parking available for these vehicles. By not requiring off street parking this problem will only get worse. This was a bad decision. Increased density is really not a good thing since Utah is now well into a mega drought and the City keeps telling residents to use the resource wisely (meaning, don't use water unless absolutely necessary) yet, more people in the city means more water usage, a very limited resource. We do not need more people in Utah since not only water but land is limited. Changing the type of housing allowed in existing neighborhoods will only devalue the existing properties. This will only reduce the amount of property tax the county and city will be able to charge. So what will happen next with taxes? The county and city will, of course, increase taxes to cover the shortfall created by this misguided decision. At least one council member understood the problems that will come from this action and voted against this change. Dumb move on the part of the City Council. Sincerely, Alice Rathofer District 6 12/12/2023 16:40 Levy Woodruff U.S. House Needs In addition to comments made in person at the hearing, I would like to add my thanks for the city's past support and future consideration.

My home is a 1908 Sears K.T. home. It is an American icon, as are many houses in my neighborhood. This rezoning would drastically alter the neighborhood and bring more traffic right next to California and 900 W, which can't handle it. The house at 1380 S 900 W burned down Saturday, December 2nd. Mysteriously. Then Monday the house was torn down. Then the meeting to change the zoning was the day after. 3 days from burn to rezoning. Seems very odd...
