on eligible operating expenses; and
WHEREAS, to be accepted into the State Program, cities and counties within Utah must
formally apply to the program by submitting an application to the Utah Department of
Environmental Quality; and

local recycling market development zone program; and

Program application to the State to participate in the City’s Program; and

residential or commercial zones and the highest concentration of manufacturing or recycling
businesses near those areas; and
WHEREAS, the Salt Lake City Council finds that the City’s Program and participation
in the State Program will enhance the City’s ability to retain and recruit businesses that utilize or
