BUDGET IMPACT: None BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: Quarters 3 and 4 of Fiscal Year 21/22, from January to June 2022, were marked by new coronavirus variants along with increasing availability of vaccines, boosters and at-home covid-19 tests. While managing public health concerns, Salt Lake City also saw the return of many in-person events, including the St. Patrick’s Day Parade and regular Pride Festivities. Funding Our Future spending during Quarters 3 and 4 reflected our unique Spring, with staff and project managers focusing both on recovery and renewal. An exciting update to Funding Our Future stems from lessons learned during the pandemic and visions for future growth: the addition of parks maintenance as a fifth Funding Our Future focus area. Parks staff is working towards cementing the details on how their new allotment of Funding Our Future dollars will be spent, but Parks updates will be included in the next Funding Our Future transmittal. Funding Our Future sales tax revenue continued to support programs and staff in the areas of housing, transit, streets, and neighborhood safety during Quarters 3 and 4 of FY 2021-2022: 1 10/4/2022 10/4/2022 Lisa Shaffer (Oct 4, 2022 13:29 MDT) ERIN MENDENHALL DEPARTMENT of INFORMATION Mayor MANAGEMENT SERVICES AARON BENTLEY Director Housing • Staff o The Census concluded in October 2020. Therefore, the Mayor Office’s Census Coordinator position changed focus to do more general community outreach work for the Mayor’s Office. The position title has officially changed to Special Project and Volunteer Program Manager and the person in the role is helming Salt Lake City’s Love Your Block Program, which focuses on environmental justice along the Jordan River. o Housing Stability recently hired a new person to fill the Community Development Grant Specialist position. Under the guidance of the previous Grant Specialist, the new employee will continue to oversee administration of Funding Our Future housing programs. o The Planning Division’s Additional Planner has focused on housing-related zoning issues including updates to RMF-30 zoning to promote more housing, the Affordable Housing Incentives project, and supporting the proposed tiny home village. • Programs o The Housing Stability Division continues to work closely with community partner organizations to assist with deployment of all housing programs. They continue to disperse all available funds into the community with programs like House 20, Rent Assistance, Mortgage Assistance, Down Payment Assistance, and more. o Additionally, Housing Stability hosted its first in-person grant awardee training since the pandemic began. Representatives from all funded programs attended either virtually or in-person. o The Redevelopment Agency (RDA) has utilized Funding Our Future dollars to support eight affordable housing projects throughout the City since 2019. Support for the projects comes through the RDA’s Housing Development Loan Program (HDLP), which provides financial incentive for the development of affordable housing - a key Funding Our Future focus area. Transit • Staff o The Transportation Division’s Transit Planner continues to update an online transit dashboard featured on the Funding Our Future website.

In addition to new and planned stops in Westside communities, transportation is also building stops along Downtown, North Temple and Foothill Drive routes. o Frequent Transit Network (FTN) Branding is close to being implemented along FTN routes.

The new branding and shelters will increase visibility for the FTN and make it e asier for residents to navigate the transit system. Neighborhood Safety • Staff o Salt Lake City Police Department (SLCPD) funding and programs are ongoing, and there are continuing efforts to maintain staffing levels as employees have separated employment from the Department. As of June 2022, all 50 Funding Our Future-funded Police Officer positions were filled. o The Additional Police Personnel positions—needed civilian personnel related to the increased police officers—continue to be filled. 11 out of 13 staff positions have been filled as of June 2022. These positions have provided support in records, crime lab, social work, data analysis, etc. 3 ERIN MENDENHALL DEPARTMENT of INFORMATION Mayor MANAGEMENT SERVICES AARON BENTLEY Director • Programs o All SLCPD equipment, including body cameras and hybrid sedans, has been purchased. Streets • Staff o Salt Lake City’s Streets crews completed 48.93 lane miles during Q3 and Q4 of FY 21/22, despite getting a late start due to Salt Lake City’s wet Spring. • Programs o Funding Our Future dollars continue to improve the efficiency of our streets team thanks to the previous purchase of additional trailers and tack wagons. Each team now has their own equipment, which means they no longer have to take extra trips to share equipment. Progress also continues with Capital Improvement Program (CIP) projects using Funding Our Future funds and street reconstruction projects funded by the 2018 voter-approved General Obligation Funding Our Future bond: • Capital Improvement Program (CIP) o Funding Our Future sales tax dollars continue to fund ongoing CIP Projects in Salt Lake City. The specific CIP projects funded are primarily improvements to the public way, enhancing other Funding Our Future transportation and street projects. Multiple projects started construction in FY 21/22 or are scheduled for later. • Street Reconstruction o Transportation and Engineering staff tailored engagement and planning for each bond project based on the community affected and the impact of reconstruction. 300 West, the largest bond project, started construction in 2021 and continued during 2022. Another major construction project, 200 South, began during 2022. o All upcoming Street Reconstruction Projects can be found on the bond map and larger project map on the Funding Our Future website. Capital City News, Salt Lake City’s regular news update by SLCtv, also completed a construction update in every episode. Staff also posted a weekly social media update (and responded to all comments and questions) about the extensive construction throughout FY 21/22 PUBLIC PROCESS: None EXHIBITS: 1) Funding Our Future Quarter 3 and 4 Update 4 Funding Our Future Years 1, 2, 3 & 4 Quarters 3 & 4 January 1 - June 31 | 2022 5 Overview Funding Our Future Quarters 3 and 4, from January 1st to June 31st 2022, was marked by a tentative emergence from isolation following the height of the pandemic. While City Departments, Divisions and staff remained cautious of public health threats, vaccincations and warmer weather made in-person engagement more possible than it had been the previous two years. Staff supporting by Funding Our Future dollars were able to connect with the community on projects like Love Your Block and the upcoming 2100 South resdesign. And, with increased out-of-home activies, the public was able to experience Funding Our Future supported improvements via bus stops and road repairs. Funding Our Future continued to play a crucial role in improving Salt Lake City. 6 Housing Critical Need Area Overview: According to the University of Utah’s Kem C. Gardner Policy Institute, average rent in Salt Lake County has increased from $720 in 2010 to $1,301 in 2021. As rent and home prices continue to increase, programs supporting those making below the Area Median Income (AMI) of $77,000 are critical in helping Salt Lake City residents stay Salt Lake City resdients. Funding Our Future dollars continue to support affordable housing in important ways. Funding Our Future supported a planner in the Planning Division who worked on key housing-related projects, including affordable housing incentives (formerly known as the affordable housing overlay), downtown building heights and updates to Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) regulations. The policy work performed by the planner will be vital in determining the future housing landscape in Salt Lake City. In addition to important policy work, Funding Our Future dollars also supported Community and Neighborhood’s Community Development Grant Administrator. The staff member in this position is tasked with overseeing community grants (also funded by Funding Our Future dollars) to important organizations in Salt Lake City. The Road Home, NeighborWorks and the International Rescue Committee are among the grant recipients. The Redevelopment Agency (RDA) also supported the creation of affordable housing units through the Housing Development Loan Program (HDLP). The loans are supported by Funding Our Future dollars. The Jackson Apartment Complex was forced to shut down due to damage from the March 2020 earthquake. Thanks in part to City funding, the Jackson was re-opened to house 80 senior residents making 60% AMI or less. Outcomes: See program tables below for details.

study, called Thriving in Place, during FY 21/22. Public engage- ment took place during Q3 and Q4, which included bringing the community togeth- er to paint a mural at the Three Creeks Confluence Park. The mural paid tribute to the communities that make Salt Lake City a wonderful place to live. It conveyed the message: “We Live Here.” NOTE: Many of the above organizations were funded in FY 20/21 and are using currently using those funds to serve the community. FY 21/22 budgets represent the amount of money organizations were awarded in FY 21/22. Since some organizations are still using previoius funding, many of the “spent” amounts read $0. 11 FY 18/19 FY 19/20 FY 20/21 FY 21/222 Dept/Division Position Description Bud- get FTE Budget FTE Budget FTE Budget FTE STAFF IMS/Civic Engagement Engagement Specialist Support engagement on FoF projects. $66,166 1 $76,197 1 $76,197 1 CAN/Engineering Project Engineer Manage FoF reconstruction projects. $109,398 1 $132,153 1 $132,153 1 CAN/Transportation Engineer Manage infrastructure upgrade impacts. $100,342 1 $120,989 1 $190,989 1 CAN/Transportation Transit Planner Track transit programs. 1 $103,304 1 $88,974 1 $88,974 1 CAN/Planning Planner Help staff capacity on zoning issues. 1 $107,333 1 $90,382 1 $90,382 1 Transit Critical Need Area Overview: Transit isn’t simply a mode of travel. For some, it is the difference between getting to work on time and not arriving at all. For others, it is the difference between getting a groceries or going without. For all of us, it is a critical component to achieving our air quality goals and securing environemtnal and personal health for years to come. Funding Our Future dollars supported transit in many ways from January to June of 2022. Changing communting habits is a key step in achieving our lofty envrionmental and health goals. Supported by Funding Our Future dollars, the transportation and engineering teams continued bus stop improvements along routes Westside, North Temple and Foothill routes to make travel by bus a safer and more comfortable experience. In addtion to stop improvements, the transportation team also worked with UTA and a consulting firm on branding for Salt Lake City’s Frequent Transit Network (FTN) lines to increase visability and rider usability. Branding will be visiable on bus stop signage and on bus shelters themselves to help guide bus riders, new and returning, towards FTN stops. FTN lines include the 2, 9 and 21, with the addition of the 1 in August 2022. Besides infrastructure improvements at bus stops, Funding Our Future dollars supported UTA’s on-demand carshare service, called UTA On-Demand, which launced in December of 2021. The on-demand service is availble from 2200 W to 300 W and 2300 N to 2100 S on Salt Lake City’s Westside. For a low rate of just $2.50 per trip, riders can connect to transit or travel to the grocery store. Word-of-mouth has increased the popularity of the service, with ridership increasing from 749 in January 2022 to 3,401 in June 2022. The program has helped connect our communities and is increasing it’s capacity to do so through the addition of wheelchair acessible vehicles to the fleet and upcoming switch to electric vehciles. Outcomes: See program tables below for details. ^During Quarters 3 and 4 of Fiscal Year 21- 22, Salt Lake City’s Transportation team and the Funding Our Future supported Civic Engagement Specialist conducted public outreach on a new transportation master plan. The group took stakeholders on a walking tour focused on East-West connections.

UTA buses, ski buses, TRAX, FrontRunner and OnDemand servcie were all provided to riders for free. Ridership jumped in February when compared with January 2022 ridership. The Folsom Trail opened in Q4 of FY 21/22. The trail runs from 500 West near the North Temple TRAX stop, to 1000 West a block away from the Utah State Fairpark.

All 50 Funding Our Future supported poilice officer positions are filled as of June 2022. Overview: The Salt Lake City Police Department (SLCPD) is tasked with the important work of keeping our community safe. Through Community Liaison Officers, Bike Squads and Coffee with a Cop, SLCPD continues to build relationships with the Salt Lake community. SLCPD continues to receive Funding Our Future dollars to support a fully staffed police force, including both sworn officers and civilian staff. As of June 2022, all 50 Funding Our Future officer positions have been filled and equipment to support the new hires has been purchased.

Despite getting a late start due to a wet Spring, the streets crew completed 48.93 lane miles from Januarty to June of 2022. More specifically, their work can be broken down in terms of 20.63 miles of chip seal, 6.29 miles of inlays, and 22.01 miles of slurry seals. Funding Our Future dollars supported the Surface Treatments Streets team in this work. Thanks to equipment purchases made possible by Funding Our Future dollars in 2021, both of the surface treatment teams now have their own trailers for hauling equipment and tack wagons for inlay projects. This saves time and fuel by removing the need to drive around to multiple job sites to share equipment. The investment in trailers will streamline Streets’ work for miles to come.

Design has been completed and the project was put out to bid; however, bids exceeded the available funding. The City is waiting to bid again at the optimal time in Fall 2022. $349,500 $2,758.98 McClelland Shared Street Phase 2 The goal of this project is to identify the option that best meets the vision and goals from the Sugar House Master Plan, and which are supported by the Sugar House Circulation Plan, the Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan, and the Jordan and Salt Lake City Canal Trail Implementation Plan. Construction was originally planned for construction year 2022, but was pushed back until Spring 2023 due to contractor issues $500,000 $92,072 Transportation Safety Improvements This project provides funding for high priority multi-modal safety improvements. This better empowers Transportation to work quickly to address identified safety needs in the City. This funding is being spent on traffic safety projects, such as installing new warning flashers at intersections around the City. $202,000 $200,830 Traffic Signal Upgrades This project removes the existing traffic signal equipment that has reached the end of its useful life, including steel poles, span wire, signal heads, and traffic signal loops and will upgrade the intersections with mast arm poles, new signal heads, pedestrian signal heads with countdown timers, improved detection, and left turn phasing, as needed. The FY 19/20 funding has now been fully encumbered to a contractor that is working on construction projects aimed to maintain and upgrade traffic signals. $118,310 $0 Bridge Preservation There are 23 bridges in Salt Lake City, most crossing either the Jordan River or the Surplus Canal. Engineering has prepared an ongoing bridge maintenance strategy. This project was bid out two separate times and both sets of bids came in way over the Engineer’s Estimate. Procurement rules allow Engineering to now reach out to other contractors to solicit quotations for work that meets the scope and need of the project. This will cover items such as routine bridge deck cleaning, resealing of joints and crack sealing. The project will run through the end of June 2024. $150,000 $0 Public Way Concrete Program This program addresses deteriorated curb and gutter, retaining walls, crosswalks ADA ramps, and other concrete structures in the public way and in coordination with Public Utilities. The contract was executed and the selected contractor started work. Due to the September 2020 windstorm, the contractor shifted their efforts to concrete damage caused by downed trees and tree stumps. The engineering team continues to work on reparing damage caused by the 2020 windstorm. $402,443 $180,715 Rail Adjacent Pavement Improvements This project addresses uneven pavement adjacent to railway crossings. There are currently three known locations to be addressed. This initial request allowed Engineering to improve one to two of the locations and perform a survey for future years. Initial four locations completed by Geneva Rock. Additional locations completed $53,000 $53,000 Sugar House Traffic Calming and 600 East Neighborhood Byway Improvements The funding will be used to develop and implement two projects: 1) a neighborhood-wide traffic calming plan to address vehicle speeding and excessive cut-through issues in the west Sugar House neighborhood, and 2) improvements to the successful 600 East Neighborhood Byway. Salt Lake City, South Salt Lake, Millcreek and Holladay partnered on the Local Link study. Design is progressing and the project is now expected to be constructed in 2023. $150,000 $931 Complete Streets Enhancements This project complements bond and other roadway projects that have been funded or for which funds are being requested, but which do not include incorporation of Salt Lake City’s Complete Streets Ordinance and/or recommendations of City master plans. This funding has now been spent on enhanced crosswalks around the City, including flashing beacons, bulb-outs, and median islands. $100,000 $100,000 Total $2,025,253 $630,306 NOTE: There are additional CIP projects (constituent requests) from FY 18/19 and FY 19/20. These include the following: 1100 East Curb and Gutter, Whitlock Avenue Curb and Gutter, 1900 East Street Reconstruction, and 1400 East Sunnyside Avenue Intersection Reconstruction. 1900 East construction is complete. 19 FY 20/21 and FY 21/22 CIP Projects Project Overview Update Original Budget Budget Spent Bridge Rehabilitation: 400 South and 650 North This project rehabilitates the 400 South and 650 North vehicle bridges over the Jordan River. A bridge inspection performed by UDOT gave these bridges a Health Index score of 48.55 and 46.58, respectively, out of 100. Combining the two bridges into one project will result in economies of scale since the rehabilitation work for both bridges will be similar. The existing asphalt surface will be removed and the underlying deck will be treated for cracking and delaminated concrete. The deck will receive a waterproofing membrane, a new asphalt overlay, and deck drains to remove storm water from the deck. The under surface of the bridge will be treated for cracking and delaminated concrete on the deck, girders, pier caps, and abutments. The steel piles supporting the piers exhibit heavier than typical corrosion. The piles will be dewatered and treated for corrosion. The existing damaged parapet wall will be removed and rebuilt which will widen the sidewalk and improve the pedestrian access route. Additionally, aesthetic enhancements will be incorporated like replacing the chain link fence and including decorative railings. A consulting firm with specialized experience will be used for this project. SLC Engineering is preparing to put out RFPs for the design of the 650 N and 400 S bridge replacements. No additional funding is available at this time however additional funding will be requested to cover the full replacement of these bridges. $2,648,507 $0 Bridge Preservation There are 23 bridges in Salt Lake City, most crossing either the Jordan River or the Surplus Canal. UDOT inspects these bridges every two years and provides the city with a basic condition report. The City is responsible for performing appropriate maintenance activities based on statements in the UDOT report. Engineering has prepared an ongoing bridge maintenance strategy with the objective of extending the functional life of these structures, and extending the time between major repairs. The funds will be used to address needed repairs and routine maintenance. The bridge maintenance plan, as well as some initial projects to start maintenance on, was finalized fall 2021. Additionally, the consulting firm is finalizing pedestrian bridge inventory and condition report similar to the traffic bridges that will be used to assess corresponding maintenance. $150,000 $0 Rail Adjacent Pavement Improvements In this second year of the project, Engineering is designing improvements and performing a survey of additional locations to address in future years. In 2021, only two rail adjacent pavement sections were completed. The remaining balance of $32,723 is already encumbered to Staker Parsons to do more rail adjacent projects. There was another CIP application for another $70K for FY22-23 $70,000 $69,975 Facilities Capital Asset Replacement Program The Facilities Division’s Facility Condition Index database categorizes asset renewal projects based on the criticality of projects starting with Priority 1 (Life Safety). For the FY 20/21 abbreviated CIP funding, Facilities requested funding for Projects in Priority 1 and a portion of Priority 2 for $2,503,710 total. Projects in the Priority 1 category must be replaced to meet OSHA, Federal, State, and local regulations and codes; to maintain security; or ensure safe building occupancy. These are not discretionary projects. FY 19/20 CIP investment funded many of the Priority 1 projects. This request is to fund the remaining current Priority 1 projects totaling $374,907. Priority 1 projects will never be completely eliminated as different assets fall into the category annually as they reach the end of their expected lifespan. Projects in Priority 2 address Structural Integrity, Property Loss, and Contractual Obligations. The latter is funding obligated through Interlocal Agreements with Salt Lake County for 50% of capital renewal at the Sorenson Campus and Salt Lake Sports Complex, and through a contract with the Salt Lake Bees at the Smiths Ballpark to maintain the facility. These are also non-discretionary projects. The funds requested for Priority 1 (Life Safety) and Priority 2 (Contractual Obligations) will address the most critical and contractually obligated needs for Facilities. Typically, the County can fund 100% of projects upfront, and the City reimburses its portion at project completion. The FY 20/21 County Interlocal Agreement obligations amount to $763,557. The County and City have identified the need to address $10 million in deferred capital renewal for both facilities. The Bees contract obligations for FY 20/21 total $688,907; however, the Bees contract partially funds capital renewal from annual naming rights revenue, so $224,637 is available to offset the requested amount for the Ballpark for a total FY 20/21 CIP request of $464,270. The total of deferred capital renewal at the Ballpark is currently $8,804,973. It should be noted the current construction environment is heated; Facilities included an additional 10% contingency rate to cover expected inflated costs. $2,503,710 $168,135.63 20 Project Overview Update Original Budget Budget Spent Parks Critical Asset Renewal This project funds the repair or replacement of park amenities and play features that are currently out-of-service or near closure. Many of the facilities are still functional, however, their poor condition discourages use. Features that may be replaced with this funding may include: - Basketball and tennis courts in deteriorated condition in parks - Paving surfaces that are tripping hazards in high use parks - Pavilions in disrepair - Playgrounds that are deteriorated and at risk for closure in parks - Inefficient and ineffective irrigation systems that increase operations and staffing costs in locations Specific information on priorities for these amenities are as follows: 1. Irrigation systems at 1200 East Islands and Warm Springs Park 2. Pavilions at Cottonwood Park and Poplar Park 3. Paving surface at Memory Grove Park 4. Basketball Court at Liberty Park and Poplar Grove Park 5. Tennis Courts at Poplar Grove Park 6. Playground at Pioneer Park and Taufer Park The original scope of the project was narrowed. The Parks Division has used all budgeted funds ito upgrade a portion of the outdated irrigation control systems that are used to remotely control Parks irrigation systems throughout the City. These updates will improve efficiency of the overall irrigation systems and allow improved central control of the system. Each park received this update. $1,075,000 $1,075,000 Public Art This line item adds art features to other CIP projects, including projects for Parks and Public Lands, Transportation, Facilities, and Engineering, as required by City ordinance. Each department selects 1-4 projects to then present to the Art Design Board. The Art Design Board reviews each project and considers many factors (City Council District representation, opportunities for emerging artists, etc). The life cycle of a public art project (18-24 months+) includes many steps of research, development, public calls, and more. During the time period of July 1 - December 31, 2021, the following was completed: -Conducted further project research and development -Further meetings with City departments about feasibility, location of project, construction timelines, and more -Scope determined to be a Neon based project -Vendor for fabrication determined -Public Art Program Manager conducted outreach and engagement with the local Community Council -Staff and Board development of RFP -Contract development with Attorney’s Office -Contract for services secured with vendor for fabrication of artists work -Graphics and associated marketing materials created for RFP -Release of RFP for artist application Due March 11th -Application review as applications come in $87,878 $ 35,114 21 Project Overview Update Original Budget Budget Spent Cost Overrun This line item allows additional funding flexibility for small cost increases over CIP project budget. -With the COVID pandemic, and the timing changes that occurred on many projects, no requests for this funding were made as of January 2022. $175,756 $0 Total -$6,710,851 $1,348,224 In April, The Salt Lake City Arts Council oversaw the instal- lation of “Out of the Blue”, a scultpure by Stephen Kesler. The scuplture, making waves in the 9th and 9th neighbor- hood, was painted by local artist Mike Murdock. 22 23
