RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY
OF SALT LAKE CITY ADOPTING THE ANNUAL BUDGET FOR THE FISCAL YEAR
COMMENCING JULY 1, 2019 AND ENDING JUNE 30, 2020
WHEREAS, the Redevelopment Agency of Salt Lake City ("Agency")was created to
transact the business and exercise the powers provided for in the Utah Community Reinvestment
Agency Act.
WHEREAS, the Redevelopment Agency of Salt Lake City has determined it is both
necessary and desirable to adopt the 2019/2020 Annual Budget.
WHEREAS,the Board of Directors has determined that the public improvements to be
constructed with tax increment in each of the project areas will be of benefit to the project area
which generated the tax increment.
WHEREAS,the Agency has caused a Notice of Public Hearing to be published in a
newspaper of general circulation for a period of at least one week in advance of the public
hearing date.
WHEREAS,the Board of Directors adopted the tentative budget by Resolution No. R-6-
2019, on May 7, 2019.
WHEREAS, the Agency held at least one public hearing to consider adopting the
Agency's Annual Budget for the 2019/2020 fiscal year.
WHEREAS, the Agency caused a copy of the proposed 2019/2020 Annual Budget to be
available for public inspection during regular business hours in the office of the Agency, in the
City & County Building, 451 South State Street, Room 418, Salt Lake City, Utah 84111, for a
period of at least three (3) days before the commencement of the public hearing.
WHEREAS, the Agency's Board of Directors have considered all written and oral
statements made at the public hearing objecting to or supporting the Agency's 2019/2020 Annual
Budget.
NOW,THEREFORE,BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF
THE REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF SALT LAKE CITY,that the previously adopted
Tentative Budget, as modified by the "Key Changes" attached hereto and made a part of this
Resolution, shall be, and the same hereby is, adopted as the Budget of the Redevelopment
Agency of Salt Lake City for the fiscal year commencing on July 1, 2019 and ending June 30,
2020.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED,that the following budget contingencies are hereby
adopted with the Agency's 2019/2020 Annual Budget:
A. Housing Funding
Transfer to RDA: Funding that is transferred to the RDA from Funding Our Future
dollars is contingent on these funds being transferred on a trial basis for the current
budget year, tracked separately in an account labeled Housing Development Trust
Fund, and deployed for the purpose of low income and special needs housing, and
to accomplish the goals outlined in the GrowingSLC plan.
1. The Council and RDA Board's intent is to continue its in-depth policy
discussion surrounding all aspects of housing in order to create a"one stop"
policy for all City housing loan programs that deploy and leverage funding
in a more efficient way by consolidating loan application, evaluation,
negotiation,processing, and monitoring processes into a single location, so
that both City and Developers have a clear understanding of roles and
responsibilities.
2. The Salt Lake City Council / RDA Board has requested that the City
Administration identify in writing and incorporate any policy, procedure,
rule,standard or benefit that is applicable to the Housing Trust Fund process
that would be beneficial to the deployment of housing "Funding Our
Future"funding. Such beneficial policies,procedure,rule and standards will
be applicable in the deployment of housing "Funding Our Future" funds
regardless of where they are administered and RDA shall incorporate any
such beneficial policies, procedure, rule, and standard into its deployment
of the Funding Our Future Housing dollars.
3. On a trial basis for the current budget year, the Council/RDA intends to
establish a Housing Development Trust Fund within the Redevelopment
Agency of Salt Lake City in July 2019,and to evaluate further codifying the
consolidation of housing development loan programs by ordinance, to
confirm that all of the City's housing development loan funds,regardless of
funding source and regardless of which entity administers the program, are
deployed in a transparent manner. It is the Council's intent that any
application that comes to Salt Lake City before the Council's adoption of
the Housing Ordinance be handled by the Redevelopment Agency in a
manner that is consistent with the current rules and purposes guiding the
Housing Trust Fund and the Housing Trust Fund Advisory Board using the
funding appropriated by the Council in the restricted account titled,
"Housing Trust Fund." The Council/Board invites the Administration's
input on the elements to include in the Housing Ordinance to assure that the
City's affordable housing goals are advanced without delay regardless of
the entity administering the fund.
4. The Council expresses its intent to evaluate this approach after both six
months and one year to determine whether it is functioning in a manner that
maximizes the positive community impact of the City's Housing
Development investment. It is further the intent of the Council that the
City's Housing program funds will continue to be funded and managed in
the Department of Community and Neighborhoods' Housing and
Neighborhood Development Division.
B. The following exhibits are incorporated by reference in the budget for fiscal year 2019-
2020 and adopted as an element of the budget:
1. The Key Changes, labeled"Board Adopted June 11, 2019"; and
2. The Motion Sheet, labeled"Board Adopted June 11, 2019."
Passed by the Board of Directors of the Redevelopment gency of Salt Lake City,this
11th day of June, 2019, to be effective July 1,201

Re:Veto Statement
Dear Council Members:
I want to first thank you and your staff for once again working diligently through the budget process.
Crafting and adopting a budget for a city as complex and unique as Salt Lake City is not easy, and it is a
great testament to the individuals who work for Salt Lake City government, along with the residents who
engage in these conversations, that over the last few years we have successfully passed balanced
budgets which more than ever address the critical needs our City is facing.
While this year, we are once again mostly aligned in our budget priorities, my concern over some of the
changes you have made to my recommended budget require that I issue several line item vetoes in Salt
Lake City Ordinance No. 23 of 2019 (Adopting the City budget) and In Redevelopment Agency resolution
R-9-2019 (adopting the RDA budget), both passed on June 11th. In accordance with City policy, these
vetoes will reinstate the Mayor's budget recommendations.
My vetoes are largely in response to changes you have proposed regarding our shared interest in
addressing the affordable housing crisis.These include a last-minute shifting of$2.59 million dollars
from the City's Housing Trust Fund (HTF)to the Redevelopment Agency(RDA), as well as placing
contingencies on funding for housing programs developed in cooperation with community partners.
It is important to note, that while we may disagree on how we should move forward over the next year
to address the housing crisis, we do not disagree that we must.The residents of this City have been clear
that they consider this to be a top funding priority, and through our work on Funding Our Future and
other endeavors, we have heeded their call.
Specifically, my concerns lie in these key areas:
VETO 1.
Transfer of$2.59-million dollars from Housing Trust Fund to the Redevelopment Agency
(Referenced in section 4.E.3.b of the Salt Lake City budget ordinance and in section A of the
Redevelopment Agency budget resolution)
Following the two budget public comment periods, the City Council began discussing an option to move
the funding I recommended for the HTF to the RDA for affordable housing programs.This represents a
significant shift in City policy and function, without appropriate public input. Practically,this adjustment
will leave the HTF without funding once the final loan is issued to help Lincoln Towers, a senior housing
development, renovate their building.

Like all loans made by the HTF,the Lincoln Towers financing was approved in an open and transparent
manner.The loan was vetted by the City's resident-based Housing Trust Fund Board, and later approved
by the City Council.
Under this transparent and effective model,the City has allocated $11,038,250 since March 2016,
adding 992 units of affordable housing to the market and preserving an additional 303 affordable units.
Prior to voting for this change, the City Council indicated that efficiency and transparency were
paramount concerns for this funding.The current HTF process which makes critical financing available
for affordable housing developments—particularly for those targeting very low-income individuals or
individuals exiting homelessness—clearly meets these criteria.
Shifting the funding to the RDA through an as of yet defined process will inevitably slow down the
delivery of this critical financing. With the region poised to begin implementing a new service model for
homelessness, now is not the time to create any delays in bringing additional affordable housing online.
I respectfully ask the City Council to maintain this veto and allow the proven and effective HTF model to
continue this coming fiscal year, while the Administration and Council discuss the intentions of both
bodies and receive feedback from those impacted by this change.
VETO 2.
Contingency funding for housing programs administered by the Division of Housing and Neighborhood
Development
(Referenced in sections 3.0 and 4.E.3a of the Salt Lake City budget ordinance and Motion 5.N of the
Motion Sheet attached thereto)
The City Council has placed in a holding account$1.9-million dollars of funding recommended to
support a variety of homeless and housing programs implemented by our community partners.
Throughout the months of March and April, Salt Lake City helped formally launch some of these
programs including:
VETO 2A(See Motion 5.N.iv.a of the Motion Sheet)
The Road Home's Shared Housing Opportunities; a program which provides rent assistance and light
case management to individuals experiencing housing instability.The program promotes co-living
arrangements by matching individuals in shelter and in other vulnerable situations to help bridge the
housing affordability gap.This program fills a gap that exists because traditional rent assistance
programs do not allow for roommate situations.
VETO 2B(See Motion 5.N.iv.c of the Motion Sheet)
Support for the Most Vulnerable: VOA's Assertive Community Treatment; a program which provides
intensive, integrated services for clients living with mental illness.Through our partnership with the
VOA, Salt Lake City is able to provide a critical housing component to this program,filling a gap for
individuals who have found themselves in homeless situations, but do not qualify for assistance set
aside for those defined as "chronically homeless."

Support for the Most Vulnerable:Utah Community Action's School Based Homelessness;a program
intended to find stable housing for students experiencing homelessness within the same boundaries of
their current school by providing housing location services as well as well as rent and deposit assistance.
VETO 2C(See Motion 5.N.iv.e of the Motion Sheet)
Down Payment Assistance:CDC Utah's Community Heroes Program; a down-payment assistance
program for nurses, teachers, police officers,fire fighters, EMTs, and 911-dispatchers who live and work
in Salt Lake City.The program helps to ensure that individuals critical to the City's operation can live and
work in Salt Lake City.
VETO 2D(See Motion 5.N.iv.d of the Motion Sheet)
Along with providing resources to these pilot programs, my budget recommendation expanded a critical
initiative the City has been supporting since 2015, The Road Home's New House 20 program.
With City funding, the Road Home has targeted the highest users of emergency services providing
intense trauma informed case-management and assistance in finding housing.The results of the
program show a 90%reduction in emergency services.The Council's decision to place funding in a
holding account will jeopardize case management services because funding for this long-term program
la ses on June 30".
My budget also recommended funding for new programs, which includes partnerships with community
organizations.These partnerships provide support for:
VETO 2E (See Motion 5.N.ivf of the Motion Sheet)
Landlord Insurance Program,
VETO 2F(See Motion 5.N.iv.b of the Motion Sheet)
Incentivized Rent Assistance
VETO 2G (See Motion 5.N.iii.b of the Motion Sheet)
Eviction prevention program (Build a More Equitable City).
The Council's decision to place funding for these programs in holding accounts until a proposed
ordinance can be passed, creates a two-tiered system for how the City provides financial assistance to
reputable partners. Within this budget alone, there are several examples of non-contingent funding
being awarded to organizations assisting with housing and homelessness efforts, including the Wasatch
Community Garden's Green Team which the City Council advocated for a reinstatement of funding.
I respectfully ask the City Council to maintain each of my vetoes of these programs to allow financing to
move forward this fiscal year, while the Administration and Council discuss the intentions of both bodies
and receive feedback from those impacted by these changes.

AN:
VETO 3.
Transfer of City memberships in civic organizations from the"Non-Departmental" budget to the
"NEW-Legislative Non-Departmental" budget
(See section 3.A of the Salt Lake City budget ordinance and page 2 of the Key Changes attached thereto)
The transfer of the funds for these four memberships violates the Mayor-Council separation of powers.
The Mayor's Office has requested a legal opinion from the City Attorney's Office on this issue.
Again,thank you for your dedication to this process.As always,the Administration is available to help
answer any questions you may have. I understand you will most likely be reviewing and taking action on
these vetoes in the coming week. Please note,that I will be at the annual Conference of Mayors
gathering but am always available to any Council Member by phone should you wish to further discuss
my reasoning.

Item C1
MOTION
SHEET
h-j Redevelopment Agency Board of SALT LAKE CITY
'+SaC
TO: RDA Board Members
FROM: Jennifer Bruno and Ben Luedtke
Deputy Director and Budget&Policy Analyst
DATE: June 28, 2019
RE: Fiscal Year 2019-2020 Motions for Reconsideration of Vetoed Line Item Appropriation
On June 11, 2019 the RDA Board of Directors adopted the Fiscal Year 2019-202o budget. The vote was 7-o all in favor. On June 25, 2019 the
Council Office received line item appropriation vetoes and a veto statement dated June 24, 2019.A supermajority of the legislative body is
required to override a veto.A supermajority of the RDA Board is five out of seven members regardless of the number of members present at
the meeting.
The RDA is subject to separation of powers, and the Mayor as Executive Director of the RDA has the authority to veto line item
appropriations in the RDA's budget. The RDA follows the same veto and override process as the City under Utah Code 1-3b-204. Under Utah
Code 10-3b-204, at its next meeting following the Executive Director's veto, RDA Board shall reconsider the vetoed line item appropriations.
In order to begin discussion on the reconsideration,the RDA Board first decides (Motion 1 below)whether to reconsider the total adopted
budget resolution OR the specific line item that the Executive Director vetoed OR not to reconsider any items and allow the veto to stand
(note:for purposes of simplicity,the motions listed below only consider opening discussion on the vetoed line items. If the RDA Board
wishes to open discussion on the total budget resolution, not just the specific line items, staff is ready with that language). It's important to
note that, if the RDA Board modifies any prior line item — including a vetoed line item, —then it is considered a new appropriation subject to
the Executive Director's consideration, possible veto and RDA Board reconsideration for override or further modification. If a veto is
overridden,then the Board-adopted budget resolution stands and goes into effect. If any line item is modified,then a new resolution is
necessary because the modified line item is legally a new appropriation.
— RED TEXT TO BE READ ALOUD BY COUNCIL MEMBERS —
MOTION 1. Open Discussion on Vetoed Line Item OR Not to Open Discussion
The below motions determine the scope of the Board's discussion, what line items may be modified and/or vetoes overridden. If the Board
modifies any prior line item —including a vetoed line item, — then it is considered a new appropriation subject to the Executive Director's
consideration,possible veto and Board reconsideration for override or further modification.
MOTION 1A— OPEN DISCUSSION ON ONLY VETOED LINE ITEM APPROPRIATION— I move that the Board open
discussion to reconsider the vetoed line item appropriation in the Fiscal Year 2019-202o adopted budget.
Staff Note:Motion 1A would open discussion only on the vetoed line item to be modified or overridden.If this motion passes, then the
Board may ONLY consider overriding the vetoed line item or modifying that item.
OR
MOTION 1B —NOT TO OPEN DISCUSSION (Would maintain the veto) — I move that the Board not open discussion on
any budget items and proceed to the next agenda item.
Staff Note:Motion 1B would not allow the Board to discuss any budget items and therefore would maintain the veto as transmitted by
the Mayor.
Motion i must be approved by a simple majority of the Board. (4 Votes)
MOTION 2. Motion to Override Veto
The below motion is written in the affirmative to override a veto.As an alternative, a Board Member could make a motion to allow the
vetoes to stand in which case the funding would be appropriated as requested in the adopted Tentative Budget. If the Board modifies any
line item in the Fiscal Year 2019-202o adopted budget— including a vetoed line item, — then it is considered a new appropriation subject to
mayoral consideration,possible veto and Board reconsideration for override or further modification.Motion 2 overrides the veto and does
not modify the item.
I move that the Board override the $2.59 million-line item appropriation veto for Land Discounts and Financing.
Staff Note: This item is referred to as "Veto 1"in the June 24,2019 Veto Statement
Motion 2 must be approved by a super-majority of the Board. (5 Votes)
