DOCUMENT TYPE: Information Only
RECOMMENDATION: Per Council request, the Administration is providing an update on
Funding Our Future staff, programs, and projects. Staff welcomes any questions and comments
that this information may raise for Council Members.
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:

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. The Planning
Division’s Planner continues to work on transit-related zoning issues
including the Ballpark Station Area Plan adoption, Fleet Block zoning, an

Director
o The Civic Engagement Team’s Civic Engagement S pecialist, within IMS, has
managed updates and supported engagement for Funding Our Future projects.
The person in the Civic Engagement (CE) Specialist position since 2019 has
recently moved to another position within the City. As of April 2022, updates
provided to the public and Council are being provided by a new staff member.
• Programs
o The Transportation Division continues to work on implementing Bus Stop
Improvements for Routes 1, 2, 9, 21 and 205. 50 bus stop improvements have
been designed and are beginning to be implemented along 1000 North, 900 West,
600 North and Redwood Road. 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. Staff are working with UTA to create appropriate signage and
fabricate new bus shelters 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.

• 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

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.

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.

Salt Lake City began its gentrification and
displacement 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.

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.

all of UTA’s service areas during the month
of February. 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. This exciting project provides
bikers, walkers, joggers and rollers with a desig-
nated car-free path to go from West to East.

Streets Critical Need Area
Overview: The Salt Lake City streets crews continued to improve road conditions, (and
quality of life) for Salt Lake residents during Q3 and Q4. 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.

Livability
Improvements
This project, which is highly-supported by the community,
desires to increase the livability of streets near homes and
businesses and improve the comfort of the at grade McClelland
Trail crossings at six east-west streets (from Harrison to Bryan
Avenues, inclusive) between 1100 East and 1300 East.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
