DOCUMENT TYPE: Ordinance
RECOMMENDATION: The Administration recommends the City Council adopt the Assessment
Ordinance for the Central Business Improvement Area 2022 (CBIA-22).
BUDGET IMPACT: The CBIA-22 would be funded through Special Assessment. The budget
summary for the City is detailed starting on page 3 under the section “Financial Summary for
CBIA – 22.” Possible changes as recommended by the Board of Equalization have been added in
red.
COORDINATION: Economic Development, Treasurer’s Office, Engineering Division,
Recorder’s Office, City Council’s Office, Attorney’s Office, Board of Equalization, Bonneville
Research Consultant, and Gilmore & Bell (bond counsel).
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: Salt Lake City established the Central Business Improvement
Area (CBIA) in 1991 as a mechanism to fund marketing, promotions, advocacy, and other
Lisa Shaffer (Feb 3, 2022 12:12 MST)02/03/2022

initiatives in Downtown Salt Lake City through a special assessment on property within a
designated area. This approval would re-establish a special assessment on properties within the
same boundaries as 2019 for a three-year period and it breaks out a second assessment for holiday
lighting (same boundaries as 2019, maps attached). This process is the final action by the City
Council to establish the CBIA-22 which would begin on April 22, 2022.
Board of Equalization: As required by law, a Board of Equalization (BOE) for the Assessment
Area was appointed by the City Council on November 16, 2021. The BOE consisted of
representatives from the Salt Lake City Council’s Office, the City Treasurer’s Office, and the City
Engineer’s Office.
The BOE met three times in January 2022, to hear and consider any arguments from individuals or
property owners who claim to be aggrieved. The role of the BOE is to consider all facts and
arguments presented at the hearings and provide recommendations to the City Council.
BOARD OF EQUALIZATION RECOMMENDATIONS: The Board of Equalization (BOE)
has recommended removing the holiday lighting assessment on two properties, owned by a single
owner, which would reduce the CBIA-22 total revenue by $1,048.78.
The BOE has also recommended possibly reducing the assessment of four (4) other properties,
owned by a single owner, who is in the process of disputing Salt Lake County’s valuation for those
properties. The properties undergoing a valuation dispute are currently being assessed $4,519.87.
The BOE recommends to the City Council that the reduction of the assessments on any of the four
properties only be made after the property owner provides the City with the appropriate
documentation from the County showing the property valuation reductions, and then the requested
assessment adjustments can be made administratively by the City Treasurer’s Office. The numbers
listed in red in the updated budget reflect an unlikely scenario in which the two properties and the
last four properties mentioned above would contribute $0 to the CBIA-22. The City Council can
accept, reject, or modify the BOE’s recommendations.
It is unlikely that the budget will be insufficient, even if all the properties listed above are given a
lower assessment. However, if the budget is insufficient, other funds that may be used to fulfill the
budget include: 1) any surplus remaining in existing accounts, 2) the reserve withheld, and/or; 3)
reduced contractor fees.

amount but may pay the assessment in three (3) annual installments. No more than 30% of the
assessment funds can be spent on administrative expenses.

Property Owner Concerns:
Mr. Markosian is concerned that Salt Lake Countys valuation of his properties are inaccurate and
protested their valuations to the County board of equalization. Mr. Markosian indicated during the BOE
Hearing that he received verbal confirmation from the County that adjustments to the valuation need to
be made. To date, Salt Lake County has yet to finalize any changes in valuation or provide
documentation of any approved changes.
Board of Equalization Recommendation:
Board recommends the assessment was appropriate but that if Salt Lake County changes the property
valuations, the City should consider an adjustment of the assessment if it is practical.

Property Owner Concerns:
Mr. Tran is concerned that his properties are being assessed for holiday lighting and currently and for
the past two years holiday lighting has not been available due to an infrastructure deficiency.
Board of Equalization Recommendation:
The Board was able to determine that indeed these properties have not received holiday lighting the
past two years and recommends that these two properties not be assessed for holiday lighting.

Property Owner Concerns:

Property Owner Concerns:
Mr. Palmer is concerned that his properties, which are located on the western edge of the assessment
area, and especially the parking lot, do not directly benefit from the assessment, or if they do, it is
proportionately less benefited than properties more centrally located in the Central Business District.
Board of Equalization Recommendation:
The Board recommends the assessment is appropriate. The Board also discussed recommending that
the recipient of the contract for economic promotion services reach out to businesses along the western
edge that was added to the assessment area in 2016 at the suggestion of the City Council, to describe
the services provided in that area.
The Board of Equalization finds that, under Utah Code Section 11 42 403(5):
o each assessed property within the assessment area will be assessed in a manner that
meets the requirements of Utah Code Section 11 42 409; and
o except as provided in Utah Code Subsection 11 42 409(5), no parcel of property on the
assessment list will bear more than its equitable portion of the actual costs that are
reasonable of the improvements benefitting the property in accordance with Utah Code
Section 11 42 409.

assessment against certain properties in the Salt Lake City, Utah Central
Business Improvement Assessment Area No. DA-CBIA-22 (the
Assessment Area), for the purpose of financing certain economic
promotion activities in the downtown area; establishing the effective date

BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH,
AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Determination of Costs. All costs and expenses to finance the
proposed activities, which include advertising, marketing, special events, festivals,
transportation, newsletters, publications, banners, Christmas lighting, security, special
projects, housing, town meetings, government policy, cultural promotion, reports, surveys,
homeless services and other promotional activities (the Economic Promotion Activities)
within the Assessment Area, together with related costs, have been determined.
Section 2. Approval of Assessment List; Findings. The City Council (the
Council) of Salt Lake City, Utah (the City), hereby accep ts and adopts the Findings,
Recommendation and Decision of the Board of Equalization. The Council confirms and
adopts the equalized and adjusted assessment list for the Assessment Area, a copy of which
is attached hereto as Exhibit B and incorporated herein by reference (the Assessment
List). The Council has determined that the Assessment List, as adjusted and equalized, is
just and equitable; that each assessed property within the Assessment Area will be assessed
in a manner that meets the requirements of Section 11-42-409 of the Assessment Area Act,
Title 11, Chapter 42, Utah Code Annotated 1953, as amended (the Act); and that no
parcel of property listed in the Assessment List will bear more than its equitable portion of
the actual costs that are reasonable of the Economic Promotion Activities.
The City Treasurer may, in his or her sole discretion, make adjustments to the
Assessment List in the future if the contesting property owner described in Exhibit C
presents to the City Treasurer sufficient evidence to demonstrate that their 2021 taxable
property value has been reduced by Salt Lake County.
Section 3. Levy of Assessments. The Council hereby levies an assessment
upon the real property identified in the Assessment List. The assessments levied upon each
parcel of property therein described shall be in the amount set forth in the Assessment List.
The assessments hereby levied are to promote business, economic, and community

financing the Economic Promotion Activities described herein.
The assessments are hereby levied and assessed upon each of the parcels of real
property described in the Assessment List in accordance with the benefit received from the
Economic Promotion Activities within the Assessment Area. The assessments are levied
upon the parcels of land in the Assessment Area at equal and uniform rates.
A-4
4879-1584-5896, v. 2
Section 4. Cost of Economic Promotion Activities; Amount of Total
Assessments. The total cost of the Economic Promotion Activities in the Assessment Area
is $5,318,008, including allowable related expenses. The amount to be assessed against
property affected or benefited by the Economic Promotion Activities in the Assessment
Area is $5,318,008. These amounts do not exceed in the aggregate the sum of: (a) the total
contract price or prices for the Economic Promotion Activities (which contract has been
duly let to the lowest and best responsible bidder therefor); (b) the acquisition price of
improvements, if any; (c) the reasonable cost of economic promotion activities; (d) the
price of purchasing property, if any; (e) connection fees, if any; (f) the interest on interim
warrants issued against the Assessment Area, if any; and (g) overhead costs not to exceed
fifteen percent (15%) of the sum of (a), (b), (c) and (e).
Section 5. Method and Rate. The assessment is a one-time assessment for a
three-year period on property in the Assessment Area to pay all or a portion of the estimated
costs of the Economic Promotion Activities. The total assessment for the Assessment Area
is levied based upon (i) 2021 taxable property values plus (ii) linear feet on certain
properties with frontage on certain streets for special holiday lights, as set out in the Notice
of Intention to Designate Assessment Area pertaining to the Assessment Area. The
assessment for each property was determined based on costs as set out in Section 4.
Section 6. Payment of Assessments. Assessments shall be payable in full or in
three (3) annual installments (the Assessment Installment or Installments). If payable
in three (3) annual installments, the first Installment will fall due May 6, 2022. The second
and third Installments will fall on the first and second anniversary dates of the first
Installment. If any Installment is not paid by the due date, the unpaid Installment(s) will
accumulate delinquent interest and/or charges in accordance with this Assessment
Ordinance and State law.
Section 7. Default in Payment. If a default occurs in the payment of any
assessment installment when due, the City may (a) declare the delinquent amount to be
immediately due and subject to collection, or (b) accelerate payment of the total unpaid
balance of the assessment and declare the whole of the unpaid principal and interest then
due to be immediately due and payable. Additional interest shall accrue and be paid on all
amounts declared to be delinquent or accelerated and immediately due and payable at the
same rate as is applied to delinquent real property taxes for the year in which the assessment
installment becomes delinquent (the Delinquent Rate). In addition to interest charges at
the Delinquent Rate, costs of collection, including attorneys fees and court costs
(Collection Costs), as determined by the City Treasurer or as required by law, may be
charged and paid on all amounts declared to be delinquent or accelerated and immediately
due and payable. In lieu of accelerating the total assessment balance when one or more
assessment installments become delinquent, the City may elect to bring an action to collect
only the delinquent portion of the assessment plus interest at the Delinquent Rate and
Collection Costs.
Upon any default, the City Treasurer shall give notice in writing of the default to
the owner of the property in default as shown by the last available completed real property
assessment rolls. Notice shall be effective upon deposit of the notice in the U.S. Mail,
A-5
4879-1584-5896, v. 2
postage prepaid, and addressed to the owner as shown on the last equalized assessment
rolls for the City or on the official ownership records of Salt Lake County. The notice shall
provide for a period of thirty (30) days in which the owner shall pay the installments then
due and owing plus costs as determined by the City Treasurer. If the City elects to use the
enforcement remedy involving acceleration, the Notice shall also declare that after the
thirty (30) day period the City shall accelerate the then unpaid balance of the principal of
the assessment to be immediately due and payable together with Collection Costs and
interest on the entire unpaid balance to accrue from the date of delinquency at the
Delinquent Rate. Thereafter, the City may immediately initiate a sale of the property as
provided in Title 59, Chapter 2, Part 13, Utah Code Annotated 1953, as amended, or sell
the property pursuant to Section 11-42-502.1(2) and related pertinent provisions of the Act
in the manner provided for judicial foreclosures, or utilize any other remedy permitted by
law. If at the sale no person or entity shall bid and pay the City the amount due on the
assessment plus interest and costs, the property shall be deemed sold to the City for these
amounts. The City shall be permitted to bid at the sale. So long as the City retains
ownership of the property, it shall pay all delinquent assessment installments and all
assessment installments that become due.
The remedies provided herein for the collection of assessments and the enforcement
of liens shall be deemed and construed to be cumulative and the use of any one method or
means of collection or enforcement shall not deprive the City of the use of any other method
or means. The amounts of accrued interest and all Collection Costs, attorneys fees and
costs shall be added to the amount of the assessment up to, and including, the date of
foreclosure sale.
Section 8. Remedy of Default. If prior to the final date that payment may be
legally made under a final sale or foreclosure of property to collect delinquent assessment
installments, the property owner pays the full amount of all unpaid installments that are
past due and delinquent with interest at the Delinquent Rate, plus all approved or required
costs and attorneys fees, the assessment of said owner shall be restored so that the owner
will have the right to make the payments in installments as if the default had not occurred.
Any payment made to cure a default shall be applied first, to the payment of attorneys fees
and other costs incurred as a result of such default; second, to interest charged on past due
installments, as set forth above; third, to the interest portion of all past due assessments, if
any; and last, to the payment of outstanding principal.
Section 9. Lien of Assessment. Upon the recordation of the required
documents and notices, an assessment or any part or installment of it, any interest accruing,
and the penalties, attorneys fees and costs of collection shall constitute a political
subdivision lien against the property upon which the assessment is levied on the effective
date of this Ordinance. Said lien shall be superior to the lien of any trust deed, mortgage,
mechanics or materialmans lien, or other encumbrance, shall be equal to and on a parity
with the lien for general property taxes, and shall apply without interruption, change of
priority, or alteration in any manner to any reduced payment obligations. The lien shall
continue until the assessment, reduced payment obligations, and any interest, penalties, and
costs on it are paid, notwithstanding any sale of the property for or on account of a
A-6
4879-1584-5896, v. 2
delinquent general property tax, special tax, or other assessment, the issuance of a tax deed,
an assignment of interest by Salt Lake County, or a sheriff's certificate of sale or deed.
Section 10. Contestability. No assessment shall be declared invalid or set aside
in whole or in part in consequence of any error or irregularity that does not go to the equity
or justice of the assessment or proceeding. Any party who has not waived his/her
objections to same as provided by statute may commence a civil action in the district court
with jurisdiction in Salt Lake County against the City to enjoin the levy or collection of the
assessment or to set aside and declare unlawful this Ordinance.
Such action must be commenced and summons must be served on the City not later
than sixty (60) days after the effective date of this Ordinance. This action shall be the
exclusive remedy of any aggrieved party. No court shall entertain any complaint that the
party was authorized to make by statute but did not timely make or any complaint that does
not go to the equity or justice of the assessment or proceeding.
After the expiration of the 60-day period provided in this section:
(a) The assessments levied in the Assessment Area shall become
incontestable as to all persons who have not commenced an action and served a
summons as provided for in this section; and
(b) A suit to enjoin the levy, collection, or enforcement of the
assessment, or to attack or question the legality of the assessment may not be
commenced in this state, and a court may not inquire into those matters.
Section 11. All Necessary Action Approved. The officials of the City are hereby
authorized and directed to take all action necessary and appropriate to effectuate the
provisions of this Ordinance, including the mailing of invoices to property owners in the
Assessment Area.
Section 12. Repeal of Conflicting Provisions. All ordinances or parts thereof in
