A. Introduction to Detective Andrew Sylleloglou
Detective Andrew Sylleloglou introduced himself as the police liaison for Salt Lake City, and
explained that this is a brand new position, that he has held for three months. He said he is aware
of all the issues in Salt Lake City and asked the BAB to please email him if they have any
concerns or issues, and he can begin to come up with strategies to mitigate those issues.
Vice-Chair Carleton asked if there was an overlap as he has dealt with another police officer
liaison. Detective Sylleloglou said there are three detectives in the unit and two of them are
district community liaison and he deals with more business-related issues.
Mr. Brito asked what Detective Sylleloglou role is and how can he help a person who owns a
business in SLC. Mr. Brito said he has called the police to report a crime and the dispatch said to
report it online and they will reach out. Mr. Brito has not received a call back. Detective
Sylleloglou said he has the resources at the tips of his hand and if businesses like Mr. Brito's
restaurant needs more patrol, he can help with that. He asked Mr. Brito to email his case number
and he will follow up.
Mr. Brito asked how people from the Hispanic community can join the police force. Detective
Sylleloglou said the SLCPD have recruitment events where they can ask question like how to
apply to be a police officer. He also stated that anyone can also reach out to him directly by
email.
Vice-Chair Carleton asked if the SLCPD were fully staffed. Detective Sylleloglou said they've
had normal attrition every year, so they are still catching up from losing over 100 officers during
the pandemic. They are on a continuous hiring cycle.
B. RDA Commercial Real Estate Program
Ms. Ashley Ogden and Ms. Lauren Parisi provided a presentation regarding the Commercial
Real Estate Program that the Redevelopment Agency is creating. The RDA will rely heavily on
feedback received from the local business and non-profit community to inform the final proposal. In
this early stage, Staff envisions the creation of a package of Commercial Assistance Programs where
RDA tools are more intentionally utilized to:
• Provide opportunities to establish new services, amenities, or underrepresented business
types within a neighborhood
• Incentivize the construction of right-sized commercial spaces in new projects
• Activate existing, underutilized commercial spaces
• Create affordable rental or ownership opportunities for local businesses and non-profits
• Counter the displacement of existing local businesses from their neighborhoods
• Implement tenant preferences for local businesses, especially those that are women/minority-
owned, and community-serving non-profits
• Promote the preservation,rehabilitation, or adaptive reuse of existing building stock
• Enhance the capacity for non-traditional applicants to apply for and utilize RDA programs
Deputy Director Riffo Jenson asked if the RDA have included artist business owners for these
programs. Ms. Parisi said they had not but would look into it.
Mr. Carleton suggested veteran owned business should also be considered and Ms. Parisi agreed.
Ms. Rice asked what the funding mechanism is these programs. Ms. Parisi said they have a
revolving loan fund that is established. The source of that is the tax increment from all the
RDA's project areas.
Ms. Ogden said the RDA staff is currently developing a survey to target current businesses. She
asked the BAB if they have any resources where she can get a list of small businesses and their
contact information. She also asked if they know of any good locations on where to hand out the
information. Chairperson Piccoli said they should go to the business districts and sit in the
monthly meetings.
Chairperson Piccoli suggested the DED staff to keep this topic on future agendas.
Ms. Carson asked if they have an electronic version of the flyer so she can post it on social media
to get the word out. Ms. Ogden said she will create a small flyer with a QR code to make it easily
accessible and send it to the BAB.
C. Rapid Intervention Team and Police Squads assigned to HRC neighborhoods
Ms. Hoon, who oversees the Homeless Engagement and Response team, explained how her team
focuses on providing clean neighborhoods and opportunity for service connection. Her team is
housed within of the Housing Stability Division and are focused on trying to bridge the gap for
everyone from housed to unhoused. She provided an overview of the new Rapid Intervention
team which handles the prioritization process for camp abatements, in partnership with the Salt
Lake County Health Department.
She added that they are new team and are still refining their processes as they have only been
around for a month. However, the program is gaining some traction and becoming more
successful in resolving camps. Additionally, the state mitigation grant that the city gets every
year as a help for housing homeless resources, will receive $2.75 million this year and will be
used to develop new police squads that are dedicated in the homeless resource center area. Also,
with Council approval, they plan to expand the Homeless Engagement and Response team and
outreach efforts.
Ms. Hoon asked the BAB to please use the SLC Mobile App as it is the greatest way to take in
information that relates to homelessness.
D. Review BAB Bylaws—Chair/Vice Chair

geographic areas, workgroup committees, and electronic meetings.

Mayor's Office regarding the small business gap analysis report showing things that the City is
doing well,but also deficiencies of the City.
Vice-Chair Carleton said they met with Angela Price, the Policy and Project Manager for the
Department of Community and Neighborhoods (CAN), and she said she is trying to streamline
some of the small business issues that have been brought to their attention. He added that on
behalf of the BAB that they will get 6-8 small business owners, with recent interactions with the
Department of Building Services, to be interviewed about their experiences. He asked the BAB
members to provide some names to him and he will pass the list onto Ms. Price.
Ms. Rice said she thought the meeting went well and that the Mayor's Office was receptive with
the topics they talked about regarding the analysis. There is a follow-up meeting on September
7th, 2022.

BUSINESS ADVISORY BOARD STAFF MEMO
DATE: August 10, 2022 ITEM#: 1
PREPARED BY: Planning Department
RE: Zoning Ordinance for Homeless Resource Centers
REQUESTED ACTION: Feedback
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY/ANALYSIS: As you are probably aware, the City has been
exploring new ways to properly zone for homeless shelters and resource centers in Salt Lake
City. Mayor Mendenhall put a moratorium on future permanent shelter uses in the City for six
months. Subsequently, the City Council approved a text amendment removing the conditional use
from all zones in the city with a sunset date, with the expectation that a new zoning ordinance
would be completed prior to January 31, 2023. Our goal with this time has been to set up a plan
and process to develop a new, more equitable, and more fair zoning process for the siting of any
future shelters. Salt Lake City is very interested in being able to provide the needed resources to
the community that is experiencing homelessness but we would like to improve how those land
uses interact with and impact the community around them.
The City would like to discuss the role zoning plays in siting future homeless resource centers and
work with you to develop a preferred option so we can identify a better approval process. We are
hoping to engage you, as a community leader, to get some feedback to develop a draft. This will
be one of many small group meetings our City team will be having to gather targeted feedback.
As we have these conversations, it is important to point out we are very aware that there are
some externalities that may or may not be related to the location of a homeless resource center
that can create community concern, such as crime, loitering, and littering, and realize our
conversation may stray into some of those topics. We are hopeful though, that we can stay as
focused as possible on the zoning and land use aspects of homeless resource centers with this
particular process and meeting time.
• This is a discussion and presentation to develop a new draft ordinance around the zoning
of future homeless resource centers in SLC.
• The existing ordinance which will go back into effect if a new one is not created only allows
shelters in Downtown and general commercial zones. Primarily business areas.
• This will give them some early opportunity to shape the draft going forward.
• Once the draft is developed they will have more opportunities to provide feedback.
• While there are a lot of issues related to homelessness in SLC, this is a focused
discussion on zoning.

PREPARED BY: Cathie Rigby, ARPA Project Manager, Department of Economic Development
RE: ARPA Program Overview
REQUESTED ACTION: DED will present a program overview of our Community Grant
Program for Small Businesses that will launch on September 1, 2022. After presentation we will
answer any questions.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY/ANALYSIS: In March 2021, the U.S. Government passed the
American Rescue Plan Act(ARPA). ARPA was passed to support the response to and recovery
from the COVID-19 public health emergency. ARPA provides funds to respond to the public
health emergency or its negative economic impacts, including assistance to small businesses,
nonprofits, or aid to impacted industries such as tourism, travel, and hospitality.
These grant funds are meant to give community organizations, local businesses, including the arts
community, the opportunity to access funding to help them solve the problems the pandemic
created for them.
Of the $4 million allocated, the CGP directs $2 million to Community and Neighborhoods
("CAN")to offer grants for nonprofit subrecipients to fund programs that address ongoing needs in
the community. This could include programs like retraining displaced workers, legal services for
eviction assistance, expanded educational opportunities, resources to mitigate the digital divide,
access to healthcare for the underserved populations, and mental health assistance.
The remaining $2 million has been directed to the Department of Economic Development to
provide direct financial assistance to businesses or nonprofits. This assistance can include grants
for businesses not included in other governmental programs during the pandemic, especially small,
independent, and local businesses, and artist/artisan businesses. The grant funds are to be spent on
the business or nonprofit's operations or employees who have been economically impacted by the
pandemic.
