RFP INFORMA TION & REQUIREMENTS
L OBJECTIVE
Salt Lake City Corporation(and its Public Lands Department) is seeking qualified consultants
to fulfill the goals and outcomes included in this solicitation. Consultants and teams must
demonstrate their ability and experience in preparing a three-pronged Strategic Capital,
Acquisition, and Asset Management Plan ("SCAAMP") for Public Lands.
The"short-term" five-to 10-year Public Lands SCAAMP will accomplish several of the
highest recommended strategy,policy, and action items from the City's "Reimagine Nature"
Public Lands Master Plan(PLMP, see"Relevant Documents" section below), which was
adopted in June 2022.
IL PROJECT GOALS AND DESIRED OUTCOMES
There are six principal goals of the Public Lands SCAAMP:
1. Maintain or improve the level of public lands service in a growing capital city through
property acquisition and development, and the improvement of existing properties.
2. Achieve the five principal PLMP goals, found on pp. 35-40 of that plan.
3. Develop prioritization criteria(e.g., quality of life, equity, economic development,
sustainability, public lands level of service) and a five-to 10-year strategic capital project
schedule for new projects, replacement projects, and property acquisition(through known
[particularly impact fees and capital improvement program funding] and recommended
funding sources, both internal and external).
4. Align Public Lands goals and outcomes with upcoming, citywide capital facilities plan
(CFP); impact fee facilities plan(IFFP), which will also be updated beginning in 2024; and
the capital improvement program's (CIP) goals and project selection.All of these efforts,
including a new citywide Capital Asset Planning (CAP) committee, will be led by the City's
Finance Department.
5. Align public lands needs and available or possible future funding.
6. Be a living document that can be easily evaluated and updated internally on an annual basis.
Consider the aspects of the plan to which we would want to limit changes, at least for the
first five years.
A. Outcomes Part 1: Strategic Capital Plan
1. Consultant shall work with all Public Lands divisions and teams to create a year-by-year
(years 1-5) and a lump (years 6-10)prioritized schedule for new capital projects and
funding, including planning level cost estimates. This schedule will put the City on course
to achieve its PLMP goals within 20 years.
2. Equitably fulfill the Citywide and district-by-district needs summarized in the 2019 Public
Lands Needs Assessment ("Needs Assessment") and maintain or improve public lands level
of service.
3. Establish prioritization and scoring criteria/metrics (particularly equitable investment based
on diverse needs and approximate, historical levels of service). These should prioritize
projects that help the City meet the goals and recommendations from the PLMP
(particularly its "Transformative Projects") and the 2019 Needs Assessment(see "Relevant
Documents" section). A majority of the criteria and metrics should match the requirements
of various funding sources (e.g., impact fees vs. general funds vs. enterprise funds)
4. Engage in a statistically significant data collection and analysis process to update existing
conditions,usership and demographic data initially collected in the 2019 Needs Assessment
to inform project priorities (See Relevant Documents).
5. Develop an internal decision-making process based upon above prioritization criteria to be
utilized by the Public Lands Department that allows for flexible project prioritization from
year-to-year, and the ability to easily evaluate and update the five-to 10-year strategic
capital project schedule based on evolving priorities, funding and other critical factors.
6. Project schedule and information should include the following information:
i. Priority/ranking
ii. Relative costs (including lifecycle and maintenance costs) and implementation
timelines
iii. Alignment with PLMP strategy, action, or transformative project
Page 2 of 27
iv. Funding eligibility
7. The schedule and its associated prioritization should be based on known, familiar funding
sources (impact fees, general fund/capital improvement program, enterprise fund, grants) as
well as other recommended, reliable sources. It should project the total project funding
requests and availability for the year-by-year and the lump schedules.
8. This part of the Public Lands SCAAMP and its schedule should:
i. Align with ongoing updates to the citywide CFP, IFFP, and CIP(information
to be provided by the City to the selected consultant). If possible, it may also
consider how other departments'capital project planning may relate
(geographically or scope-wise)with our recommended projects,potentially
moving prioritization and schedule around to ensure that related projects are
done at the same time.
ii. Include an assessment of operations and maintenance staffing needs and
estimated costs.
iii. Consider the City's increasing population and reflect in the plan the
anticipated increase in level of service that will be required.
iv. Be able to be updated internally, on an annual basis based on a decision-
making process established in this plan. The staff assigned to update it will be
able to pull the most important projects from years 6-10 into year 5.
V. Include project and funding recommendations and prioritization from the
Strategic Acquisition Plan part of this project, including anticipated escalation
factors based on prioritization and funding+construction years.
B. Outcomes Part II: Strategic Acquisition Plan
1. Plan for the strategic acquisition of additional real property, to be included in and
coordinated with the aforementioned five to 10-year schedule (including acres needed per
year) of the Public Lands SCAAMP.
2. Set a new goal for public lands acres/1,000 persons or rely on the goals from the PLMP and
the 2019 Public Lands Needs Assessment.
3. Analyze and prioritize land acquisition based on where public lands level of service acreage
and amenity gaps currently exist based on Planning Areas established in the Needs
Assessment.
4. Consider and expand upon the recommendations from the 2010 Salt Lake City Open Space
Acquisition Strategy(see "Related Documents" section). Apply the appropriate
Page 3 of 27
recommendations from that"Strategy"to this new strategic acquisition plan for all types of
public lands: parks, trails, open space, and other properties outside of publicly accessible
sites (i.e., operations and maintenance facilities, storage, office space, and others).
5. Identify property needs by Council district, likely acquisition budget needs per year, and
when and where property acquisition(and subsequent park development) should
strategically occur based on current and anticipated population densities, historical financial
investment, and level of service.
6. Property acquisition is one of the best uses of impact fees. Include property acquisition
needs in the IFFP (mentioned on p. X and p. X),by year, with a particular emphasis on
spending parks impact fees that are due to expire next(August 2026).
C. Outcomes Part III: Asset Management Plan
1. Consultant shall determine and incorporate the highest priority capital
replacement/maintenance needs in the aforementioned five to 10-year Public Lands
SCAAMP schedule.
2. Utilize existing Salt Lake City public lands asset data(within Cartegraph software). Gaps
currently exist within our catalog of asset condition data. However,based on obvious needs
and data that exist right now, Consultant shall develop a process for prioritizing current
asset replacement/maintenance needs to include in the five to 10-year plan. This process
shall be used in the future to amend the prioritization list as new data is collected.
3. Provide Salt Lake City with all asset type industry best practices and standards for asset
condition indexes within Cartegraph. This will include a breakdown of weighted condition
categories, expected performance over years in service, minimum acceptable condition
groups, regular replacement schedules and potential risk assessments.
4. Develop a detailed process and comprehensive protocol for how Salt Lake City Public
Lands can improve asset condition data collection and assessment into the future.
5. Develop new tools to determine year-by-year project prioritization and annual maintenance
budgets for all operational teams in the Public Lands Department.
6. Expressly outline the tracking methodology by which Public Lands staff should incorporate
new or existing amenities into the system.
7. Consider equitable geographic distribution of maintenance and capital asset replacement
funding and projects, to the end that the Public Lands Department can better shift from a
reactive, complaint-based response to a proactive and equitable approach that improves
level of service and equipment quality citywide.

2.2 Project Work Plan Narrative
BerryDunn developed the following project work plan to describe how the project team will meet
the objectives set forth in the City's scope of work.
2.3 Phase 1: Discovery
2.3.1 Conduct Initial Project Planning
BerryDunn will conduct an initial project planning and discovery session to identify stakeholder
groups, project team members, project milestones, and expectations. BerryDunn will discuss
the proposed project schedule, project work plan, and roles and responsibilities. Outcomes of
this discussion will be used to develop the Project Work Plan and Schedule.
2.3.2 Develop a Project Work Plan and Schedule
BerryDunn will develop a Project Work Plan and Schedule, which will outline communications
and scope, provide a timeline to schedule project meetings, and confirm stakeholder groups. In
addition, the project work plan will incorporate agreed-upon procedures between BerryDunn and
the City related to project control, including quality management and deliverable
submission/acceptance management.
DI Project Work Plan and Schedule
2.3.3 Conduct a Data Review
One of the most important elements of this process will be BerryDunn's ability to gain a breadth
of knowledge about City plans, structures, operations, and systems, as well as its staff and
community. To start the process, BerryDunn will submit an information request to the City's
project team to gather applicable documents and data. The City will only be asked to provide
documents and data that are available; BerryDunn will not ask the City to produce any new
documentation to satisfy the request. The BerryDunn team will review all information to inform
our understanding of the current environment, glean insights from work completed to date, and
minimize impacts to City staff during the work effort.
b BerryDunn Scope of Work 14
2.3.4 Facilitate a Kickoff Presentation
BerryDunn will conduct a virtual or on-site kickoff presentation with the City's project team that
will serve as an opportunity to introduce our project team members, discuss project goals,
present our project approach and methodology, review the final schedule of key project dates,
and answer any questions the City's project team may have.
2.3.5 Conduct Status Update Meetings
BerryDunn will conduct status update meetings with the City's project manager (PM) on a
biweekly cadence to communicate current and anticipated project management needs, provide
updates on project progress and the schedule, and discuss potential risks and issues.
2.4 Phase 2: Engagement
2.4.1 Create a Detailed Engagement Strategy
As we develop a Detailed Engagement Strategy with the City, BerryDunn will discuss both
virtual and in-person options; identify and describe methods of community involvement;
determine key stakeholders; create a schedule for engagement, including the statistically valid
survey; develop a schedule; and identify specific stakeholder interview and focus group
questions. BerryDunn will develop this strategy in consideration of the City's engagement
findings from recent planning efforts (e.g., Reimagine Nature), its culture, and identity.
D2: Detailed Engagement Strategy
2.4.2 Develop a Project Website and Engagement Portal
BerryDunn will work with City staff to create a customized project website that serves as a tool
for internal engagement across the City. BerryDunn will collaboratively determine which tools
will best serve desired outreach outcomes. BerryDunn anticipates the City will realize value in
using surveying, mapping tools, forums, and ideas walls, and we look forward to discussing and
customizing this site to reflect City needs, desires, goals, objectives, and community culture.
2.4.3 Conduct Internal Leader and Staff Activities
Internal engagement will include interviews and focus groups with City leadership,
management, and staff to conduct fact-finding activities. These meetings will provide internal
stakeholders an opportunity to provide input related to the future direction of City green space
and open space improvements and needs. Staff and key stakeholder perspectives are
extremely important, and our approach intentionally involves staff throughout the entire process,
as they will have responsibility for implementing recommendations. These virtual and/or in-
person sessions are anticipated to take up to 30 hours in total (for all sessions), ranging from
one-on-one to small groups to large groups with sessions lasting 30 —60 minutes.
b BerryDunn Scope of Work 15
2.4.4 Conduct a Statistically Valid Survey
BerryDunn will engage in a statistically significant data collection and analysis process to update
existing conditions, usership, and demographic data from the City's 2019 Needs Assessment.
BerryDunn is a strong proponent of including surveys as part of all planning projects to more
accurately reflect a community's quantitative needs. While stakeholder meetings, focus groups,
and public meetings allow us to draw in interested parties and users, a statistically valid survey
is the only defensible mechanism that yields feedback from non-users (most likely taxpayers).
BerryDunn will work with ETC Institute to create a geographically diverse survey to be mailed to
a representative sample of households within the city. The survey will provide critical information
in determining community values, satisfaction levels, needs and priorities, preferred marketing
channels, levels of awareness, current usage levels, and demographic information for long-
range planning efforts.
ETC Institute will monitor the distribution of the sample to help ensure it reasonably reflects the
demographic composition of the study area, including geographic distribution, age, gender,
race/ethnicity, and other factors. ETC Institute will "weight" the data as needed if one or more
demographic groups is over/underrepresented relative to recent census estimates for the City's
population. ETC Institute will submit a final report to the City's project team.
(Optional): ETC Institute could also administer a general public non-statistically valid survey
hosted on the Social Pinpoint website. ETC Institute can provide general public survey results at
the end of administration.
D3: Community Survey(Statistically Valid)
2.4.5 Prepare an Engagement Feedback Summary
The BerryDunn team will summarize insights from the engagement process. Key findings
generated from the staff engagement and community engagement activities will be assessed in
relationship to each other. BerryDunn will identify common themes throughout meetings,
electronic engagement tools, prioritization areas, as well as pertinent observations garnered
through the feedback. Finally, BerryDunn will include an executive summary and clear,
actionable recommendations.
D4: Engagement Feedback Summary
2.5 Phase 3: Asset Management Plan
2.5.1 Facilitate Asset Management Plan Workshop
The BerryDunn team will host either a virtual or in-person Asset Management Plan Workshop to
help inform, guide, and finalize the Asset Management Plan. The workshop will include City staff
and other key stakeholders identified for inclusion. Our process will include an interactive
approach, with specific emphasis on engaging activities designed to encourage participants'
individual perspectives.
b BerryDunn Scope of Work 16
2.5.2 Develop Catalog of Assets
BerryDunn will create a catalog of current public lands asset data within Cartegraph. As not all
assets are currently documented in Cartegraph, recommendations will be made for the City to
collect an accurate catalog of current assets.
D5: Catalog of Public Lands Assets
2.5.3 Build Best Practices Document
BerryDunn will develop a document that outlines industry best practice standards for asset
condition indices within Cartegraph. This document will also include a customized framework for
the City to regularly document/update asset condition data and help ensure data accuracy in
Cartegraph. It will also include a rubric for accurately and consistently assigning and updating
overall condition index (OCI) data for each asset.
D6: Best Practices Document
2.5.4 Develop KPIs
BerryDunn will build a customized toolkit for the City that provides KPIs to determine year-by-
year project prioritization and annual maintenance budgets for all operational teams in the
Public Lands Department asset OCI.
D7: KPIs
2.5.5 Create a Methodology for Tracking
BerryDunn will outline the tracking methodology by which Public Lands Department staff should
incorporate new or existing amenities into the system.
D8: Tracking Methodology
D17: Workshop Summaries
2.6 Phase 4: Analysis
2.6.1 Analyze Demographics and Population Projections
To provide insight into the potential market for the City's parks, facilities, open spaces,
waterways, and trails, BerryDunn will conduct a demographic analysis and market profile. The
BerryDunn team will use all information available from previous planning efforts, the U.S.
Census Bureau, Esri, and other national and local sources. BerryDunn will work directly with
City leadership to help document growth, redevelopment areas, and land use changes. A
detailed demographic analysis based on service areas will outline trends and information that
could affect the need for land acquisition, development, and regional planning.
b BerryDunn Scope of Work 17
2.6.2 Gather Mobility Data and User Geoanalysis
To further examine community data, BerryDunn uses software powered by artificial intelligence
(Al) to analyze mobile data for our clients. BerryDunn will work with the project team to select up
to five locations for the use of enhanced mobile data analysis.
D9: Enhanced Market Profile
2.6.3 Prepare an Operations and Maintenance Assessment
BerryDunn will assess the performance of City public land-related properties to identify potential
efficiencies, including an analysis of current policies, procedures, processes, and business
planning efforts. BerryDunn will also analyze available previous planning efforts, historical
perspectives, customer satisfaction, and other performance indicators. This process will help
ensure efficient organization of City resources.
Among the key activities of an effective planning process is the intentional effort to analyze the
system's operational structure in relation to maintenance. BerryDunn will assess the City's
maintenance capacity, interactions, efficiencies, growth areas, and other important
characteristics that can be enhanced or improved. This will help the BerryDunn team identify
opportunities for strengthening future service development and delivery and, ultimately, quality
of service and community impact. BerryDunn will also assess current and future equipment
needs. This will involve reviewing equipment and vehicle inventories, equipment replacement
plans and schedules, capital investment into new equipment, maintenance and repair
processes, and training for equipment use. The maintenance system will also be reviewed,
including regular and preventive maintenance schedules, equipment management systems, and
work request processes. Woven through the assessment will be the utilization of technology and
opportunities to better leverage technological advances. The resulting plan will help guide future
service levels and inform future fiscal needs.

D13: Data Update From the 2019 Needs Assessment
2.7 Phase 5: Strategic Capital Plan
2.7.1 Facilitate Strategic Capital Plan Workshop
The BerryDunn team will host either a virtual or in-person Strategic Capital Plan Workshop to
help inform, guide, and finalize the Strategic Capital Plan. The workshop will include City staff
and any other key stakeholders identified for inclusion. Our process will include an interactive
approach, with specific emphasis on engaging activities designed to encourage participants'
individual perspectives.
2.7.2 Develop Internal Decision-Making Matrix
BerryDunn will develop an internal decision-making matrix—based upon developed prioritization
criteria—that the Public Lands Department will use. This matrix will be created in a way that
b BerryDunn Scope of Work 18
allows flexible project prioritization from year to year and can be used easily to evaluate and
update the five- to 10-year strategic capital project schedule based on evolving priorities,
funding, and other critical factors.
D14: Internal Decision-Making Matrix
2.7.3 Establish Prioritization and Scoring Criteria/Metrics
BerryDunn will work with the City to create prioritization and scoring criteria/metrics to prioritize
projects that help the City meet goals and recommendations from the PLMP and the 2019
Needs Assessment. Most of the criteria and metrics will be aligned to various funding source
requirements (e.g., impact fees, general funds, and enterprise funds).
D15: Prioritization and Scoring Criteria/Metrics for Capital Projects
2.7.4 Capital Projects Planning
BerryDunn will create a year-by-year schedule for years 1-5 and a combined prioritized
schedule for years 6-10 for new capital projects and funding, including planning level cost
estimates. BerryDunn will include project and funding recommendations and prioritization from
the Strategic Acquisition Plan, including anticipated escalation factors based on prioritization
funding/construction years. The prioritized schedule will also include a report on how the
prioritized project list was created as well as background information on the process. This
process will be replicable for the City's use for future prioritization.

2.8.1 Facilitate Prioritization Workshop 1
The BerryDunn team will host either a virtual or in-person prioritization workshop with City staff
and any other key stakeholders identified for inclusion. BerryDunn will present and discuss
analysis and findings and provide time for City staff to ask questions. Our process will include
an interactive approach, with specific emphasis on engaging activities designed to encourage
participants' individual perspectives.
2.8.2 Facilitate Visioning Workshop 2
Following the prioritization workshop, BerryDunn will continue leading the team through the
strategy development process. In the second virtual or in-person workshop, participants will use
key data findings and preliminary recommendations to develop strategic goals, objectives, and

help with this transition. Ms. Riker said the City did a 7.0 earthquake exercise with 70 employees. It was a large-
scale event that was multi-jurisdictional. FEMA came and wrote up an evaluation of how the City did,which will be
available in about a month. One of the biggest takeaways was how important the communication between each
other was. Ms. Riker continued to discuss the earthquake simulation. Ms. Riker said the Department is working on
their Mayor 2025 goals.Some of the Mayor's goals are housing applicability, implementing and prioritizing family-
sized housing,division zero,capital projects,sports and entertainment district,education and culture district,the

A. Donations.—Tyler Murdock 20 mins
Ms. Larsen shared her screen to display the donations. Mr. Murdock reminded everyone last year,staff the Board
reevaluated how and when staff would bring donations.The discussion led to having the Board weigh in and have
discussions on donations with a larger impact or larger in size.Staff is open to a conversation today and whether
or not staff would come back to get a formal recommendation from the Board,though not required.
Curtis Park Asana Partners
This donation is located at Curtis Park and is partnership staff have been working on with the Asana Partners(AP)
at Foothill Village. Foothill Village is currently under construction. Mr. Murdock shared that Curtis Park was once
owned by AP back in the 1980s was a portion was given to the City, but they still own a portion of the park.AP is
looking to construct a breezeway through Foothill Village that comes into Curtis Park.This would improve the
community's connection to that space, more eyes on the park,and accessibility.The proposal would be construct
a staircase on their property, build connecting sidewalks through Curtis Park,and build another staircase
connecting the park to 2200 East.AP would build this as part of their development and then donate it to the City
as a completed project.Staff and AP are currently working through a long-term negotiations and donation
agreement. Mr. Millar added that this was a constituent CIP application from last year.The constituent drew up a
bunch of items they wanted to see happen in the park.The only thing that would be under this agreement and
donation is the staircase.The Board and staff continued to discuss the Curtis Park donation.
Ms. Cannon asked if there was a final design. Mr. Millar said AP are going to develop the final design before any
agreement in assigned. Ms. Cannon asked if there has been any public process for this. Mr. Millar said there will
not be a public process for design, but there will be a public information process between staff and AP going out
to the community councils and other groups. Ms. Cannon asked if they knew the value of the donation. Mr. Millar
said not yet. Ms. Cannon asked about curb and street access. Mr. Millar said there's already a curb cut that's
aligned with the proposed staircase alignment.The Board and staff continued to discuss the Curtis Park donation.
Mr. Murdock shared there was a sewer failure in Foothill Village this past week and discovered that the failure was
under the park,which is not great, but it was infrastructure that was put in before they donated that part to the
City and staff is working with a lot of old easement needs. Ms. Finch asked if they've spoken to community council
about what they might like to see. Mr. Millar said they haven't yet.
Mr. Murdock shared the next two donations are for the International Peace Gardens(IPG).They might not seem
like they're controversial or significant, but the reason staff is bringing them to the Board is because for the last
three years,staff has received a lot of requests to add or expand areas of the IPG.Staff has told people who have
expressed interest in donating or adding monuments to countries that staff would like to wait until there's a
comprehensive management plan for growth and expansion of the IPG.Staff has requested funding from the City
Council for the last three consecutive years and have not been awarded funding.Staff feels they've put these
donations off for too long now and are interested in the Board's feedback on whether staff should move forward
with these.
International Peace Gardens—Memorial Bench at the Korean Peace Garden
Ms. Larsen shared her screen to display the donation proposal for the memorial bench.This donation is for a
bench to the Korean Garden.The value is roughly$18,000 for the bench and is in memorial to their daughter who
passed away.While maintenance might be negligible, it's one of the big considerations staff is looking at when it
comes to donations.There has been a lot of vandalism in the IPG the last five years and it has cost the City
significant funding to repair donated art pieces that didn't have a maintenance obligation for the donor. In this
case,the donor has agreed to maintain the bench if vandalism occurs.This is something the Department is
interested in exploring for future donations, maintenance,and obligations from donors. Ms. Larsen added that the
Korean Garden Committee does support this donation. Ms.Cannon asked what the lifespan of the bench is. Mr.
Murdock is unsure, but it's something they'd address through a donation agreement process. Benches in general
capital have about a 15-year lifespan. Ms. Riker said the donation agreements usually state that if it is vandalized
or somehow destroyed,the City is not responsible to replace or repair.The Board and staff continued to discuss
the Memorial Bench at the Korean Peace Garden.
International Peace Gardens—Memorial Monument for the Genocide in Rwanda
PARKS,NATURAL LANDS,URBAN FORESTRY AND TRAILS ADVISORY BOARD of SALT LAKE CITY
Ms. Larsen shared her screen to display the donation proposal for the memorial monument. Mr. Murdock shared
this has been a donation request staff has been putting on hold for about three years now.They've been having
conversations with a non-profit group, Rwandan Community Abroad (RCA-Utah). RCA-Utah anticipates the
donation would be around $55,000. Mr. Murdock thinks the donation would be fitting for the IPG, but staff has
not added a monument of this size for quite some time,which is why they wanted the Master Plan to help guide
them.There's not a Rwandan area in the IPG, but there is a section within the African garden that would be
considered for location—the location has not been determined. Ms. Nakamura said she likes the design and asked
if the landscaping anticipated in the project scope. Mr. Murdock does not believe so, but is something to consider
going through donation agreements. Ms.Cannon asked if there is any lighting associated with the project. Mr.
Murdock said no.
Mr. Bloch asked what the request of the Board for this donation is. Mr. Murdock said it's up to the Board on how
they'd like to proceed as a Board. Staff brought these donations to them because they are larger and significant.
The Board can discuss them further or make a recommendation or advise to hold off on the donations until a
master plan is in place. Mr. Bloch said if the Board is going to make a recommendation, it would be for the best to
discuss this further next meeting
Price Bench and Plaza Donation
Ms. Larsen shared her screen to display the Price Bench and Plaza donation. Mr. Murdock prefaced this is a
donation the Board may consider making an official recommendation on.This proposal came from Steve Price,a
trustee at the University of Utah (U of U),and was initially a bench donation on behalf of his mother. Mr. Price
worked with the U of U and had a bench placed in Dry Creek; it's a curious location and it's on U of U land. Mr.
Price would now like to build an art piece and plaza space associated with a native plant garden immediately
across from Popperton Park.The donor is wanting to build a small walkway that would connect the South
Popperton hiking trail to this plaza and a native plant garden that staffs botanists and ecologists have been with
on with the Price family. Mr. Murdock said that all of the vegetation, irrigation, path,and benches would be
donated to the City. Irrigation already exists along the street, but they would have to tie into water all the native
plants and trees that they plan to build.This donation is in the realm of$200,000.
Mr. Murdock said the Price family has done a lot of outreach to the neighbors in the area. He hasn't seen any
written report of that engagement, but the family has verbally said they have and that the community supports it.
Mr. Murdock said that is something that be considered because it's a significant change in this natural area. Mr.
Bloch said it's a curious location for a bench plaza. Mr. Murdock said it is curious, and the family chose this
location primarily for the views. Ms. Finch said she would feel more comfortable knowing whether or not the
community councils are aware of this. Mr. Murdock said he's happy to go back to the Price family and get some
written communication to share with the Board about the engagement that was done and perhaps,an approval or
a recommendation from the community council,too.The Board and staff continued to discuss the Price Bench
and Plaza Donation.
Ms. Cannon asked what the Board had decided regarding handling donations. Ms. Larsen said they removed a
dollar threshold because the donation amounts were so varied;some were just a couple$100.She said the Board
and staff had decided that staff would bring donations for the Board to review where staff felt like they needed
additional input. Ms. Cannon asked so they wouldn't necessarily accept these donations. Ms. Riker said
recommendations would go to the Mayor's Office,just like budget and CIP,the Board can have a voice in
recommendations the Department submits to the Mayor's Office.The Board and staff continued to discuss
donations. Ms. Finch shared she would like more information about engagement regarding some of these
donations before providing any sort of recommendation. Ms.Cannon said this is balance of not having master or
individual plans and having these sorts of donation proposals that chance the use or added maintenance. Mr.
Wiley asked if staff has a tool to score on what the impact would be. Mr. Murdock said no.The Board and staff
continued to discuss donations.
Ms. Pehrson said she would feel comfortable accepting the donations for the IPG. Mr. Murdock said he will bring
the Price Bench and Plaza Donation back for the Board to review. Ms. Riker said the donations will be an action
item. Ms. Binnebose said she doesn't feel ready to have an action agenda item for the Price Bench and Plaza as
she feels the Board needs more time to discuss it. Mr. Murdock said it's reasonable for him to reach out to the
PARKS,NATURAL LANDS,URBAN FORESTRY AND TRAILS ADVISORY BOARD of SALT LAKE CITY
family to get answers to the questions the Board asked, and Ms. Larsen can share that in the packet next month
and can then determine when to have it on the agenda.The Board and staff continued to discuss donations.
B. Strategic Capital,Acquisition,and Asset Management Plan—Katherine Andra 10 mins
Ms.Andra introduced herself to the newer Board members. Staff is calling this plan SCAMP(Strategic Capital,
Acquisition,and Asset Management Plan). SCAMP will essentially outline how Public Lands can accomplish the
highest recommended strategy, policy,and action items from the Reimagine Nature Master Plan,which will then
recommend specific projects and objectives for Public Lands to pursue over the next 10 years.Staff has six major
goals they want to accomplish with this plan:
1. To maintain or improve the level of Public Land service in a growing capital city through property
acquisition and development and the improvement of existing properties.
- Staff completed a Needs Assessment in 2019 to capture how they're doing and since then,the City has
changed a lot.The plan is to do a data update to that Needs Assessment and the outputs would be based
on that data.
2. To achieve the five principal goals out of the Reimagine Nature Master Plan.
3. To develop a prioritization criterion and 5-10 year strategic capital project schedule for new projects,
replacement projects, and property acquisitions.
4. To align the Public Lands goals and outcomes with upcoming Citywide strategic planning efforts.
- There is a Capital Facilities Plan the City is working on as well as an Impact Fee Facilities Plan that looks at
how the City spends their impact fees,and then the Capital Improvement Program,goals and project
selection.
5. To algin Public Lands'needs and availability of future or current funding and potential future funding.
6. To be more of a living document that can be easily evaluated and updated internally on an annual basis to
be a tool for Public Lands to use into the future.
Ms.Andra said this plan will give specific recommendations for projects, improvements, and asset management
over the next 5-10 years. It will also provide tangible frameworks and tools for Public Lands to use adapt those
projects as needed within that first decade,and then also to use those same frameworks and tools in the future to
make strategic decisions about projects and funding.Staff is developing the plan is three phases:Capital Plan,
Asset Management Plan,and the Acquisition Plan.The goal is set staff up strategically to make funding requests,
prioritize improvements and maintenance projects, asset replacement needs, and capital projects.The Board and
staff continued to discuss SCAMP.
Ms.Andra said she's hoping to have a high-level of involvement from the Board.She thought maybe the Board
could form a SCAMP Committee or a workgroup to help staff with bigger decisions along the way. Capital,asset
management,and acquisition planning are pretty unique,and staff is lucky to have to internal staff experts. Ms.
Andra thinks it would be important to utilize the Board as community liaisons throughout the process. It is a
relatively internal facing process without a lot of broad community engagement because it will be based upon the
Reimagine Nature Plan.She would like the Board to consider forming a SCAMP committee. Ms. Nakamura said
forming a committee on the Board is an arduous process so she asked the Board is they would consider to do a
working group—this is something Ms. Nakamura would be interested in participating. Ms. Cannon agreed with
Ms. Nakamura and she thanked Ms.Andra for suggesting a committee. Ms. Cannon said she's interested in this
project and would like to volunteer her time in whatever form it takes. Ms. Cannon said maybe the consultant
could put together a draft committee to bring to the next meeting, but she also thinks the working group is a good
solution.The Board and staff continued to discuss SCAMP.
C. CIP Discussion.—Tom Millar 60 mins
Ms. Larsen shared her screen to display the constituent CIP applications. Mr. Millar explained that SCAMP is to
replace the one-off CIP requests where staff generates those ideas every August/September and present to the
Board. In the future,CIP and other budget requests will be based on the results of that plan. Mr. Millar said there
ended up being 11 constituent CIP eligible.The only one that is slightly tentative,depending on what Finance says,
is the Jordan Park Skatepark Expansion as the last couple years,the CDCIP and City Council have been picky on not
funding or considering eligible projects that are only planning and design that don't have any construction
funding,too. Ms. Finch asked about the 700 East project. Mr. Millar said it's the same project as last year,where
the constituent would like to put a garden on the westside of 700 East Community Garden,which is just a couple
blocks south of the Liberty Wells Community Garden.These community gardens typically partner with Wasatch
Community Gardens and last year they said they didn't have the capacity to take this on if it were funded. Ms.
PARKS,NATURAL LANDS,URBAN FORESTRY AND TRAILS ADVISORY BOARD of SALT LAKE CITY
Pontuti expressed concern about having all community gardens go through one group to give everyone equal
access.The Board and staff continued to discuss the 700 East Community Garden.
Ms. Finch asked about the dots indicating design and construction on Riverside Basketball Court Renovation. Mr.
Millar said it would be about$450,000 for design and construction,which is about how much the basketball court
was a Liberty. Ms. Finch asked about the Concord St.to Alzheimer's Jordan River Cleanup. Mr. Millar said that the
development of that vacant parcel on the westside of the river,as well as the bridge across the river,staff doesn't
think that the City would permit another bridge—this would be a fourth bridge in a one block radius. Mr. Millar
said it could be a smaller application that's more about cleanup and activation in that area.The Board and staff
continued to discuss Constituent CIP.
Ms. Finch asked about the Fisher Mansion Restoration project. Mr. Millar said it's the Friends of Fisher Mansion
Group.There have been lots of discussions about what to include for a budget amount and Mr. Millar said he
thinks they're trying to make it politically palatable in terms of dollars, but still have an impact to restore it to it's
former glory. Ms. Pontuti asked what public access looked like before it was shut down. Mr. Millar said the City
purchase the mansion around 2006-2007, before that it was a rehabilitation center run by Catholic community
services, before that it was a convent for Catholic nuns and before that it was the home of the founder of Fisher
Brewery. It hasn't had public use since the City acquired it.The Board and staff continued to discuss the Fisher
Mansion project.
Mr. Bloch asked about funding for the Forest at Bonneville. Mr. Millar said this project will be an interesting way
of getting funded because the land is currently owned by the Golf Enterprise fund and staff cannot use impact
fees to purchase property from Golf, even if it would add a level of service.The property would have to purchased
with general fund dollars or some sort of swap. Mr. Millar said he doesn't think the build out of the space would
be too expensive relative to other sites of similar size because the community does enjoy the natural forest feel of
the space. Ms. Riker said it has been done in the past to purchase golf property,especially in the event was Golf
was in the red and the City paid them out of the red and Golf would give the City land. Even though the City owns
all the Golf property,Golf is still it's own enterprise.You can't use impact fees to pay yourself.The Board and staff
continued to discuss the Forest at Bonneville project.
Ms. Larsen shared her screen to display the internal CIP applications. Mr. Millar said there are nine internal
applications,six of which are programmatic as in they're not specific to one site, but more a type of infrastructure
that needs to be built or replaced in multiple locations. Mr. Millar said the project descriptions are intentionally
vague so if the Board has input as to which ones to prioritize over others,that would be helpful to staff.The
bolded locations are included in other programmatic requests.There are probably six to seven parks that have
multiple needs to replacement and repairs. Mr. Millar said maybe the suggestion from the Board could be to
replace all the parts at once for those six to seven parks. Mr. Millar gave a high overview description of the six
programmatic projects based on the Board's feedback last month.The Board and staff continued to discuss the
programmatic internal CIP applications.
In regards to the Restroom CIP application, Ms. Finch asked if this was piggybacking off the constituent CIP
application that was funded this past year. Mr. Millar said staff doesn't necessarily expect that if this project gets
approved next year,that come September 111,staff will be designing something, but it gives staff the flexibility in
having the funding already—staff is trying to avoid waiting for funding and to maintain the momentum because
you don't have to spend the funding from CIP right away,from the pilot bathrooms. It will give staff funding to fix
items in need of repair or replacing.The rough CIP funding expiration date is three years.The Board and staff
continued to discuss the programmatic internal CIP applications.
Mr. Millar shared the Events and Special Events Teams identified parks they think are most capable to hosting
events to avoid the same parks being used again and again.The Better Event/Power Infrastructure application
includes adding some amenities to additional parks to better support events.The goals of this application are to
reduce the maintenance impacts of concentrated events, reduce costs for organizers, and activate other parks in
the City. Ms.Cannon asked in terms of equity of the design of the pavilions and who they're planning on
accommodating—meaning it's serving the most people or the people who are reserving them most. Mr. Millar
shared he attended a session at the American Society of Landscape Architects Conference,and they discussed
common questions they asked in our park surveys and how different languages responded to those questions.
PARKS,NATURAL LANDS,URBAN FORESTRY AND TRAILS ADVISORY BOARD of SALT LAKE CITY
One of the questions was, "what is a park?"and the responses were very different based on the language the
individual spoke.The Board and staff continued to discuss the Event/Power Infrastructure application. Mr. Millar
continued to highlight the internal CIP applications the Board discussed last month.
Mr. Millar shared either last year or the year before,staff did some repairs at the Liberty Park Lake and had to
empty the lake. He said whenever there's a break,staff really can only patch up the aeration system to keep the
water quality good.Anytime there's an algae bloom, Public Utilities says no water can be put back into the lake.
This application is two part.The first part is dredging because there's so much sediment built up, it's very hard for
the aeration system to actually work.The second part is to replace the aeration system.Staff estimates the new
aeration system would be about$200,000.The Board and staff continued to discuss the Liberty Park Lake internal
application.
Ms. Finch asked when there's a joint departmental projects, if the Board ranks them,and the other department
doesn't put the request forward, if that would somehow negatively impact the chances of funding. Mr. Millar said
Public Utilities could write a letter of support for this project. Ms. Finch asked if this project is just on Public Land's
list. Mr. Millar said Public Utilities doesn't apply for CIP so staff is not competing against them. Ms. Pehrson asked
if there's something that could be built into this project to reduce potential maintenance in the future. Mr. Millar
said yes,and in most of the applications,staff is making the casing or replacing or fixing issues wholesale to reduce
the amount of time and money that needs to put in every week or month just to maintain failing infrastructure.
The Board and staff continued to discuss the Liberty Lake application.The Board and staff continued to discuss
internal CIP applications.
Mr. Bloch asked about prioritization techniques. He brought up the Green Loop and that's one big ticket project,
but there are more other projects they could do with that funding. Ms. Cannon said that's why the Board adds
comments to their rankings to explain the reasoning behind how members rate projects. Ms. Cannon said it also
puts parameters around their discussions regarding projects. Ms. Binnebose said the Board will still have time to
discuss their rankings at the December meeting, but the timeframe for ranking and submitting comments is
compressed. Ms. Binnebose asked for people to more detailed in their comments. Ms. Finch shared she looks at
impact fees versus general funds on projects to help with her ranking.The Board and staff continued to discuss CIP
applications and rankings.
Ms. Finch asked about the Native Plant project. Mr. Millar said it's still on the spreadsheet that was in the packet,
and after last month's discussion with the Board and were priorities they moved lower.The reason why they were
included in the big project list from last time is that it was a previous year's application that did not get funded.
Staff had a property intended for that project if it were to be funded and because it wasn't funded,that property
now being used for something else. If staff does a Native Plant center,staff would need to find property for it first.
It's a project that's not as fleshed out as the other ones.The Board and staff continued to discuss CIP applications.
Ms. Finch asked Ms. Binnebose for next steps. Ms. Binnebose said there are two forms,two processes similar to
last year.The Board will rank constituent and internal applications separately. December 51h is a flexible date, but
ideally Board members will submit their prioritizations that morning.She also asked for members to submit their
comments on rankings so the Communications Committee can begin drafting the letter.The Communications
Committee will have a draft letter ready to present at the December 5th meeting.All suggested edits for the letter
need to be submitted by end of business day on December 91h to have revisions cleaned up by the 10th for the
Board to deliver it to staff before the close of business day on the 10th. Ms. Binnebose emphasized these are hard
deadlines.The Board and staff continued to discuss their CIP process.The Communications Committee will send
out calendar invites with reminders.
D. Staff Updates.—Ashlyn Larsen 5 mins
Ms. Larsen shared that staff has a new events calendar and people can subscribe to the calendar to have the
events populate on their own calendars.She shared her screen to display the new calendar.She shared you can
also filter by event type—community,volunteer,engagement,and Park Ranger. Ms. Larsen said she's working on
the Division Director updates to the Board and asked since Ms. McCain,the Communications and Engagement
Director,will be out when they originally planned on presenting,to have her present in December. Ms. Larsen also
suggested having the Parks update at the retreat in January. Ms. Larsen suggested an agenda topic for the
December meeting to begin scheduling the January agenda.She proposed having the retreat at the Carriage
PARKS,NATURAL LANDS,URBAN FORESTRY AND TRAILS ADVISORY BOARD of SALT LAKE CITY
House and changing the meeting date to January 91"since January 2"d is right after the holidays and people may
still be on vacation.The Board liked that idea of rescheduling the retreat to January 9th.The last item is chair and
vice-chair nominations.The Board and staff continued to discuss the January retreat.
