This represents the single largest public lands investment in the City’s history. 71% voted “for the issuance of bonds”. The recently adopted “Reimagine Nature” Public Lands Master Plan (June 2022) included Page 2 feedback from over 12,000 residents that has helped staff address priorities for the next 20 years. In the Master Plan’s surveys, 70% of respondents said they visit a park, trail, or open space at least monthly and over 40% of respondents said their parks and trails visitation has increased since the COVID-19 pandemic began. In the same survey, over 90% of respondents prioritized “putting the environment first” and “growing our urban forest.” More than 13,000 new people now call Salt Lake City home, compared to 2012 (US Census 2020). In addition, roughly 27,000 more people are expected to move to Salt Lake City by 2040 (2019 Salt Lake City Parks & Public Lands Needs Assessment, p. 85). As this growth in population and use of outdoor spaces continues, immediate improvements to existing and new parks, trails, and open spaces are urgently necessary to at least maintain existing level of service. The projects funded by the bond will meet these needs by building new parks, trails, and open spaces (particularly in areas that currently have few of these spaces) and improving existing properties throughout Salt Lake City. Other benefits from these projects include increasing green infrastructure and waterwise landscaping, combating climate change, restoring wildlife and pollinator habitats, providing air and water quality benefits, and improving opportunities for community gathering and mental and physical wellness. Project Name: Glendale Park 1200 West 1700 South Council District: District 2 Total Bond Funding: $27,000,000 First Tranche Funding Request (and Purpose): $9,000,000 (completing Phase 1a & 1b construction, design for Phase 2; Phase 2 construction funded in the second tranche). Description: The Glendale Park project will add 17 acres of new park space at the former Raging Waters water park site (on the south side of 1700 South and west of the Jordan River). The City’s goal is to add 94 acres of new public lands in the next decade. Public and stakeholder engagement is already complete, and adoption of the Glendale Regional Park Plan occurred on March 21, 2023. Park features will include community gathering spaces, trails, an overlook, playgrounds that support play at all ages and ability levels, food truck access, skateboarding features, water features, basketball and pickleball courts, a denser tree canopy, and riverside recreation and access. Schedule: 2023-2027 1. 2023-2024: Phase 1 design is nearing completion. Phase 1 construction will begin Summer 2023 (utilizing existing funds). An active recreation component (Phase 1a) must be open to the public by April 2024. Phase 1b construction and Phase 2 design will follow in 2024. 2. 2025-2027: Construction of Phase 2 will begin in 2025 and last approximately three years. Note that this may not necessarily fully build out the master planned vision. 3. 2028 onward: Construction of future phases, as funded. Page 3 Project Name: Liberty Park Playground 600 East 900 South Council District: District 5 Total Bond Funding: $2,000,000 First Tranche Funding Request (and Purpose): $2,000,000 (Community engagement, design, and construction of the new playground area). Description: Fully replace the aging, out of date, well worn, but still heavily used Rotary Playground area in the northwest part of Liberty Park. The existing playground area is often closed for maintenance and repairs as it reaches the end of its useful life. The most recent closure was in the summer of 2021. New state-of-the-art assets will honor the site’s popularity and community preferences, improve safety, and create a unique playground customized for Liberty Park that serves all ages and abilities. Accessible design and assistive technologies will improve levels of service for all community members. Choices like colors, accessible design, and amenities will depend on input from youth and nearby and regional users alike. Schedule: 2023-2026 Community engagement and Historic Landmark Commission discussions can begin in Fall 2023. Design will occur in 2024. Construction would then follow, at the beginning of 2025 and lasting approximately one year. Project Name: Allen Park 1328 East Allen Park Drive (1900 South) Council District: District 7 Total Bond Funding: $4,500,000 First Tranche Funding Request (and Purpose): $850,000 (Construction documents for the projects identified in the Adaptive Reuse and Management Plan and construction of critical landscaping or utility (water, sewer) projects; construction funding for Phase 1 projects likely to be requested in the second tranche). Description: The seven-acre Allen Park is one of the City’s newest public parks (opened October 2020). This project will implement a community-supported vision developed through the Allen Park Adaptive Reuse & Management Plan (2023-2024). The Plan will (1) determine future uses of the site based on extensive public engagement (as well as the site’s history and current conditions, as summarized in the Fall 2022 Cultural Landscape Report, or CLR); (2) recommend Phase 1 projects to construct with remaining bond funds; and (3) recommend future phase projects and maintenance plans. This plan will focus on formalization, preservation, and rehabilitation of the space, including Emigration Creek improvements, preserving art, continued analysis of historic structures, walkway and roadway improvements, irrigation, native and ornamental plantings, and other park amenities that improve access and visitor experience. Schedule: 2023-2027 Page 4 1. Spring 2024: Anticipated completion of the Adaptive Reuse and Management Plan. 2. Spring 2024 to Spring 2025: Construction of critical landscaping or utility (water and sewer) projects; designs and construction documents for Phase 1 projects. 3. Spring 2025 to 2027: Construction. Project Name: Folsom Trail Completion & Landscaping ~50 South from 500 West to Jordan River Council District: Districts 2, 3, & 4 Total Bond Funding: $5,000,000 First Tranche Funding Request (and Purpose): $5,000,000 (Revised designs for and construction of landscaping and amenities between 500 West and 1000 West; possible property needs, design, and construction/completion of the western gap between 1000 West and the Jordan River Parkway Trail). Description: The Folsom Trail is an off-street, paved walking and bicycling path that connects Westside neighborhoods and the Gateway District of Downtown. Due to funding and property issues, Phase 1 (2021-2022) was only able to design and construct the eastern 1.0 mile of the trail and minor amenity improvements between 500 West and 1000 West. Bond funding in the first tranche is intended to (1) finalize design and then construct waterwise landscaping and additional amenities, focused at intersections between 500 West and 1000 West (and based on priorities from 1,000 community responses collected in 2020, and the City Creek Daylighting Design Master Plan); and (2) complete the Folsom Trail between 1000 West and the Jordan River. Schedule for Landscaping, Amenities: 2023-2025 Landscaping, irrigation, and some amenities could be constructed for $2,000,000 by the end of 2025. All improvements would be within the public right-of-way or on publicly owned property. Immediate next steps involve finalizing construction documents and cost estimates, in particular coordination with a parallel RDA-led project designing a potential daylighting of City Creek immediately north of the current Folsom Trail alignment between 800 West and 1000 West. These tasks will be completed with funding from the first tranche. Schedule for Trail Completion: 2024-2027 Completing the trail between 1000 West and the Jordan River, either in the preferred or an alternative alignment, is possible within the next three to four years. It is possible that the remaining $3,000,000 for this project would be sufficient for the anticipated property acquisition or easement, design, and construction costs. However, impact fees may also qualify, if additional funding is needed. Project Name: Public Space at Fleet Block 800-900 South, 300-400 West Council District: District 5 Total Bond Funding: $6,000,000 First Tranche Funding Request (and Purpose): $600,000 (Community Page 5 engagement, park or plaza design, and construction documents). Description: The Public Space at Fleet Block project (future name TBD) will be a new public area in the Granary District. The project will add much needed public space and increase the level of service for this community and citywide. The site will occupy roughly 1/3 of the 8.75-acre publicly-owned parcel at the 10-acre former city fleet facility (“the Fleet Block”), which is being considered for a rezone (FB-UN3) and denser city-supported development. A public space should promote gatherings, safety, comfort, and community wellbeing. Schedule: 2023-2029 Immediate next steps (possibly in this order) include selecting the public site, engaging diverse communities in identifying their priorities for the assets and amenities of the public space, developing an RFP for potential development of the parcel’s remaining sites (led by CAN), and developing design and construction documents. Depending on site selection and designs, EPA funding may be needed in order to remediate land before development. A construction timeline has not yet been determined. Project Name: Fairmont Park 1040 East Sugarmont Drive Council District: District 7 Total Bond Funding: $5,000,000 First Tranche Funding Request (and Purpose): $500,000 (City-initiated community and stakeholder engagement and concept development phases, to be integrated with all previous engagement). Description: Fairmont Park improvements may include repair of, or possible new public uses for, the existing tennis courts site on the corner of Sugarmont Avenue and 900 East (which have been in serious disrepair for about a decade); improving facilities and services provided by the Boys & Girls Club; and enhancing public access to and within the park itself. Schedule: 2023-2029 In addition to investigating possible partnerships, desired improvements, and additional private or public funding, Salt Lake City will expand on the community engagement from 2018 and 2019. Salt Lake City and the community will work together, through a robust public engagement process, to solidify possible improvements at Fairmont Park. These phases would be followed by design and construction, funded in future tranches. Project Name: Reimagine Neighborhood Parks, Trail, or Open Spaces Various Locations Council District: At Least One Project per Council District Total Bond Funding: $10,500,000 First Tranche Funding Request (and Purpose): $1,050,000 (Community engagement for all, and concept design for some, of the 12-14 sites selected for this funding). Page 6 Description: “Reimagine Neighborhood Parks” was one of the highest community priorities in the recently completed Reimagine Nature Public Lands Master Plan. Investing in under- resourced (and sometimes under-utilized) local parks, trails, and open spaces improves access and activation and often reduces demand at larger parks. These projects seek to empower communities by offering high quality park experiences for everyone and reflect their natural, historical, cultural, and economic identities. This project’s funding will “reimagine” 12-14 neighborhood parks, trails, or open spaces, with at least one in each City Council district. These were selected based on the following criteria: (1) asset condition and quality, (2) lack of significant capital investment in the past decade, (3) relative usage and opportunity for increasing usage and access, (4) within a “Greater Need Area” (Public Lands Needs Assessment, 2019) and information from the “Reimagine Nature” Public Lands Master Plan, 2022, (5) nearby population densities, (6) potential to highlight neighborhood identities and histories, (7) levels of criminal activity and/or frequency of SLC Mobile requests, (8) opportunities to enhance already funded projects, and (9) the Public Lands Department’s district maintenance supervisors’ and park rangers’ on-the-ground experience. The selected sites are: - District 1: Cottonwood Park, Steenblik Park - District 2: Madsen Park, Peace Labyrinth (and the International Peace Gardens, if funding remains after the highest priorities) - District 3: Warm Springs and North Gateway Parks (and the Freedom Trail in Memory Grove Park, if funding remains after the highest priorities) - District 4: Taufer Park, Richmond Park - District 5: Jefferson Park, Ida Cotten Park - District 6: Donner Trail Park, Sunnyside Park (the latter is possible only with significant funding and operational partnerships) - District 7: McClelland Trail (south of Sugarmont Avenue) The specific improvements for each site will be determined by community-driven engagement processes, asset condition data, and the City’s established public lands planning process. However, “potential elements could include replacement of failing assets like playgrounds and sport courts; addition of unique elements of surrounding neighborhoods’ identities and histories; increasing elements of placemaking based on community input and desires; and, adding multilingual identity and wayfinding signage” Schedule: 2023-2031 Immediate next steps include initiating public and stakeholder engagement for all 12-14 project sites. Project timelines and priorities will be based on this feedback, implementation feasibility, and the greatest needs (e.g., Taufer Park, Madsen Park). Preliminary or concept design will be completed with first tranche funds. More complete design and construction will be completed in the second and third tranches. Page 7 It is possible that the “Reimagine” projects in City Council districts with fewer or no other GO Bond-funded projects (Districts 3 and 6) are prioritized before those in districts with more bond projects and/or funding expenditures (District 2 and 7, for example), depending on feasibility and need. The exact schedules for design and construction of all 12-14 project improvement sites will be determined at a later date. Project Name: Jordan River Corridor Various Locations Along the Jordan River Council District: Districts 1 & 2 Total Bond Funding: $9,000,000 First Tranche Funding Request (and Purpose): $600,000 (immediate construction of the Backman Open Space and Outdoor Classroom, including a large nature playground, walking paths that connect families to school and the river, irrigation, native plantings, new trees, and Jordan River Trail improvements between 500 North and 700 North; planning and design of high priority projects from the Emerald Ribbon Master Plan [ERMP], which will inform future capital investments along the corridor). Description: The Jordan River is a key asset in the Salt Lake Valley and has the potential to be the ecological and recreational heart of Salt Lake City. For decades, the City and various partners and stakeholders have invested millions of dollars in capital and maintenance improvements throughout the river corridor within Salt Lake City limits. However, these have often lacked a cohesive vision for both implementation and subsequent maintenance. This project focuses on capital improvements designed to foster community gathering and highlight the river corridor as a desirable destination. The upcoming ERMP (2023-2024), funded through CIP, will include robust public engagement and create implementation and maintenance strategies to guide investment and care. The ERMP will recommend Phase 1 projects that tackle critical needs and generate significant support for future phases, to be constructed with remaining bond funds, possibly including: - Water and air quality improvements - Improving biodiversity, tree canopy, and climate-sensitive tree irrigation systems - Storm water and green infrastructure improvements - Creating consistent, welcoming park spaces near the river, incl. multilingual signage - Nature play areas, pollinator gardens, and public art - Acquisition of key parcels along the river - Improvements to the water trail and enhanced walking and bicycling connectivity Schedule: 2023-2029 1. 2023-2024: ERMP; “home run” project concept designs; Backman construction. 2. 2024-2027: Design and construction documents for ERMP-recommended projects that will be constructed with bond funds, phased over several years. 3. 2025-2029: Additional construction, phased over several years.

In the event that such notice of redemption contains such a condition and such moneys are not so received, the redemption shall not be made and the Bond Registrar shall within a reasonable time thereafter give notice, in the manner in which the notice of redemption was given, that such moneys were not so received. Any notice mailed as provided in this Section shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the owner receives such notice.

(f) If notice of redemption shall have been given as described above and the condition described in Section 207(d) hereof, if any, shall have been met, the Bonds or portions thereof specified in said notice shall become due and payable at the applicable redemption price on the redemption date therein designated, and if, on the redemption date, moneys for the payment of the redemption price of all the bonds to be redeemed, together with interest to the redemption date, shall be available for such payment on said date, then from and after the redemption date interest on such bonds shall cease to accrue and become payable. - 10 - Delegating Bond Resolution (g) Upon the payment of the redemption price of Bonds being redeemed, each check or other transfer of funds issued for such purpose shall bear the CUSIP number or numbers identifying, by issue and maturity, the Bonds being redeemed with the proceeds of such check or other transfer.

In case any officer whose signature or a facsimile of whose signature shall appear on any Bond (including any Exchange Bond) shall cease to be such officer before the issuance or delivery of such Bond, such signature or such facsimile shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes, the same as if such officer had remained in office until such issuance or delivery, respectively.

See “DEBT STRUCTURE OF SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH — General Obligation Legal Debt Limit and Additional Debt Incurring Capacity.” - 5 - SOURCES AND USES OF FUNDS The sources and uses of funds in connection with the issuance of the Bonds are estimated to be as follows: SOURCES: Par amount of Bonds $ Original issue premium TOTAL $ USES: Purchaser’s Discount $ Project Construction Account Costs of issuance(1) TOTAL $ _________________________ (1) Includes Municipal Advisor fees, legal fees, rating agency fees, registrar and paying agent fees, printing and other miscellaneous costs of issuance. SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT The Bonds will be general obligations of the City, payable from the proceeds of ad valorem taxes to be levied without limitation as to rate or amount on all of the taxable property in the City, fully sufficient to pay the Bonds as to both principal and interest. See “FINANCIAL INFORMATION REGARDING SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH — Property Tax Matters.” REDEMPTION PROVISIONS Optional Redemption. The Bonds maturing on or after June 15, 203_, are subject to redemption prior to maturity, at the election of the City, on June 15, 203_ (the “First Redemption Date”), and on any date thereafter, in whole or in part, from such maturities or parts thereof as will be selected by the City, upon notice given as provided in the Resolution and described below, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Bonds to be redeemed plus accrued interest thereon to the date fixed for redemption. Bonds maturing on or prior to the First Redemption Date are not subject to optional redemption. Selection for Redemption. If less than all of the Bonds of any maturity are to be redeemed, the particular Bonds or portion of Bonds of such maturity to be redeemed will be selected at random by the Bond Registrar in such manner as the Bond Registrar in its discretion may deem fair and appropriate. The portion of any registered Bond of a denomination of more than $5,000 to be redeemed will be in the principal amount of $5,000 or a whole multiple thereof, and in selecting portions of such Bonds for redemption, the Bond Registrar will treat each such Bond as - 6 - representing that number of Bonds of $5,000 denomination that is obtained by dividing the principal amount of such Bond by $5,000. Notice of Redemption. Notice of redemption will be given by the Bond Registrar by registered or certified mail, not less than 30 nor more than 45 days prior to the redemption date, to the owner thereof, as of the Record Date, as defined in “THE BONDS — Registration and Transfer,” of each Bond that is subject to redemption, at the address of such owner as it appears in the registration books of the City kept by the Bond Registrar, or at such other address as is furnished to the Bond Registrar in writing by such owner on or prior to the Record Date. Each notice of redemption will state the Record Date, the principal amount, the redemption date, the place of redemption, the redemption price and, if less than all of the Bonds are to be redeemed, the distinctive numbers of the Bonds or portions of Bonds to be redeemed, and will also state that the interest on the Bonds in such notice designated for redemption will cease to accrue from and after such redemption date and that on the redemption date there will become due and payable on each of the Bonds to be redeemed the principal thereof and interest accrued thereon to the redemption date. Each notice of optional redemption may further state that such redemption will be conditioned upon the receipt by the Paying Agent, on or prior to the date fixed for such redemption, of moneys sufficient to pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on such Bonds to be redeemed and that if such moneys have not been so received said notice will be of no force and effect and the City will not be required to redeem such Bonds. In the event that such notice of redemption contains such a condition and such moneys are not so received, the redemption will not be made and the Bond Registrar will within a reasonable time thereafter give notice, in the manner in which the notice of redemption was given, that such moneys were not so received. Any notice mailed as described above will be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Bondowner receives such notice. Failure to give such notice or any defect therein with respect to any Bond will not affect the validity of the proceedings for redemption with respect to any other Bond. In addition to the foregoing notice, further notice of such redemption will be given by the Bond Registrar to certain registered national securities depositories and national information services as provided in the Bond Resolution, but no defect in such further notice or any failure to give all or any portion of such further notice will in any manner affect the validity of a call for redemption if notice thereof is given as prescribed above and in the Bond Resolution. For so long as a book-entry system is in effect with respect to the Bonds, the Bond Registrar will mail notices of redemption to DTC or its successor. Any failure of DTC to convey such notice to any DTC participants or any failure of the DTC participants or indirect participants to convey such notice to any beneficial owner will not affect the sufficiency of the notice or the validity of the redemption of the Bonds. See “THE BONDS — Book-Entry System.” REGISTRATION AND TRANSFER In the event the book-entry system is discontinued, any Bond may, in accordance with its terms, be transferred, upon the registration books kept by the Bond Registrar, by the person in whose name it is registered, in person or by such owner’s duly authorized attorney, upon surrender of such Bond for cancellation, accompanied by delivery of a duly executed written instrument of - 7 - transfer in a form approved by the Bond Registrar. No transfer will be effective until entered on the registration books kept by the Bond Registrar. Whenever any Bond is surrendered for transfer, the Bond Registrar will authenticate and deliver a new fully-registered Bond or Bonds of the same series, designation, maturity and interest rate and of authorized denominations duly executed by the City, for a like aggregate principal amount. Bonds may be exchanged at the principal corporate trust office of the Bond Registrar for a like aggregate principal amount of fully-registered Bonds of the same series, designation, maturity and interest rate of other authorized denominations. For every such exchange or transfer of the Bonds, the Bond Registrar must make a charge sufficient to reimburse it for any tax or other governmental charge required to be paid with respect to such exchange or transfer of the Bonds. The Bond Registrar will not be required to transfer or exchange any Bond (a) after the Record Date, as defined below, with respect to any interest payment date to and including such interest payment date, or (b) after the Record Date with respect to any redemption of such Bond. “Record Date” means the day that is 15 days preceding each interest payment date, or if such day is not a business day for the Bond Registrar, the next preceding day that is a business day for the Bond Registrar. The City, the Bond Registrar and the Paying Agent may treat and consider the person in whose name each Bond is registered in the registration books kept by the Bond Registrar as the holder and absolute owner thereof for the purpose of receiving payment of, or on account of, the principal or redemption price thereof and interest due thereon and for all other purposes whatsoever. BOOK-ENTRY SYSTEM The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), New York, NY, will act as securities depository for the Bonds. The Bonds will be issued as fully-registered securities registered in the name of Cede & Co. (DTC’s partnership nominee) or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. One fully-registered Bond certificate will be issued for each maturity of the Bonds, each in the aggregate principal amount of such maturity, and will be deposited with DTC. DTC, the world’s largest depository, is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law, a “banking organization” within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a “clearing corporation” within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a “clearing agency” registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. DTC holds and provides asset servicing for over 3.5 million issues of U.S. and non-U.S. equity issues, corporate and municipal debt issues, and money market instruments (from over 100 countries) that DTC’s participants (“Direct Participants”) deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the post-trade settlement among Direct Participants of sales and other securities transactions in deposited securities, through electronic computerized book-entry transfers and pledges between Direct - 8 - Participants’ accounts. This eliminates the need for physical movement of securities certificates. Direct Participants include both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations, and certain other organizations. DTC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (“DTCC”). DTCC is the holding company for DTC, National Securities Clearing Corporation and Fixed Income Clearing Corporation, all of which are registered clearing agencies. DTCC is owned by the users of its regulated subsidiaries. Access to the DTC system is also available to others such as both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, and clearing corporations that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Direct Participant, either directly or indirectly (“Indirect Participants”). DTC has a Standard & Poor’s rating of AA+. The DTC rules applicable to its Participants are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. More information about DTC can be found at www.dtcc.com. Purchases of the Bonds under the DTC system must be made by or through Direct Participants, which will receive a credit for the Bonds on DTC’s records. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of each Bond (“Beneficial Owner”) is in turn to be recorded on the Direct and Indirect Participants’ records. Beneficial Owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchase. Beneficial Owners are, however, expected to receive written confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the Direct or Indirect Participant through which the Beneficial Owner entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in the Bonds are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of Direct and Indirect Participants acting on behalf of Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in the Bonds, except in the event that use of the book-entry system for the Bonds is discontinued. To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Bonds deposited by Direct Participants with DTC are registered in the name of DTC’s partnership nominee, Cede & Co., or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. The deposit of the Bonds with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede & Co. or such other DTC nominee do not effect any change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual Beneficial Owners of the Bonds; DTC’s records reflect only the identity of the Direct Participants to whose accounts such Bonds are credited, which may or may not be the Beneficial Owners. The Direct and Indirect Participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers. Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to Direct Participants, by Direct Participants to Indirect Participants, and by Direct Participants and Indirect Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Beneficial Owners of the Bonds may wish to take certain steps to augment transmission to them of notices of significant events with respect to the Bonds, such as redemptions, tenders, defaults, and proposed amendments to the Bond documents. For example, Beneficial Owners of the Bonds may wish to ascertain that the nominee holding the Bonds for their benefit has agreed to obtain and transmit notices to Beneficial Owners. In the alternative, Beneficial Owners may wish to provide their names and addresses to the Bond Registrar and request that copies of notices be provided directly to them. - 9 - Redemption notices shall be sent to DTC. If less than all of the Bonds within an issue are being redeemed, DTC’s practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each Direct Participant in such issue to be redeemed. Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. (nor any other DTC nominee) will consent or vote with respect to the Bonds unless authorized by a Direct Participant in accordance with DTC’s MMI procedures. Under its usual procedures, DTC mails an omnibus proxy to the City as soon as possible after the record date. The omnibus proxy assigns Cede & Co.’s consenting or voting rights to those Direct Participants to whose accounts the Bonds are credited on the record date (identified in a listing attached to the omnibus proxy). As long as the book-entry system is in effect, redemption proceeds, distributions, and dividend payments on the Bonds will be made to Cede & Co., or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. DTC’s practice is to credit Direct Participants’ accounts upon DTC’s receipt of funds and corresponding detailed information from the City or the Paying Agent, on payable date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC’s records. Payments by Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in “street name,” and will be the responsibility of such Participant and not of DTC, the Paying Agent, or the City, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Payment of redemption proceeds, distributions, and dividend payments to Cede & Co. (or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC) is the responsibility of the City or the Paying Agent, disbursement of such payments to Direct Participants will be the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of such payments to Beneficial Owners will be the responsibility of Direct and Indirect Participants. DTC may discontinue providing its services as depository with respect to the Bonds at any time by giving reasonable notice to the City or the Paying Agent. Under such circumstances, in the event that a successor securities depository is not obtained, Bond certificates are required to be printed and delivered. The City may decide to discontinue use of the system of book-entry transfers through DTC (or a successor securities depository). In that event, Bond certificates will be printed and delivered to DTC. The information in this section concerning DTC and DTC’s book-entry system has been obtained from sources that the City believes to be reliable, but the City takes no responsibility for the accuracy thereof. - 10 - DEBT SERVICE REQUIREMENTS The following table shows the debt service requirements for the Bonds for each fiscal year: FISCAL YEAR ENDING FISCAL YEAR JUNE 30 PRINCIPAL INTEREST TOTAL $ $ $ TOTAL**: $ $ $ ____________________ * Preliminary; subject to change. ** Amounts may not add due to rounding.

(1) The Redevelopment Agency of Salt Lake City, a separate entity, has issued bonds, but such bonds are not obligations of the City and are therefore not included in this table. See “APPENDIX B—SALT LAKE CITY CORPORATION FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2022—Notes to the Financial Statements—Note 6–Long-Term Obligations.” (2) For the purposes of this Official Statement, the Series 2023 Bonds are considered issued and outstanding. (3) Amount shown is the amount drawn down from the WIFIA Loan as of the date of this Official Statement. (4) The Local Building Authority of Salt Lake City is a separate entity. Lease Revenue Bonds are not obligations of the City, but are paid from annually appropriated rental payments made by the City. - 18 - In addition to the outstanding debt listed in the table above, in 202_ the City received a $7,000,000 infrastructure loan to finance a portion of the cost of a neighborhood parking structure through a revolving fund called the Utah State Infrastructure Bank Fund. The loan bears interest at rate of 1.96%, and the term is 15 years. To secure the repayment of the loan, the City pledged the funds allocated by the State of Utah by Section 72-2-121(4) of the Utah Code and the City’s innkeepers tax if the State of Utah fails to make its annual payments to the City.

FUTURE DEBT PLANS {To be updated by the City.} The City anticipates issuing the remaining bonds authorized at the November 8, 2022 election in several series over the next few years. - 19 - The City will issue approximately $506 million in additional general airport revenue bonds in the future to complete the $4.5 billion airport reconstruction program. The reconstruction program is currently expected to be completed by 2024. Public utilities revenue bonds of approximately $503 million are expected to be issued over the next seven years to fund the Department of Public Utilities (“Public Utilities”) capital improvement program. A major focus of Public Utilities’ budget is the rehabilitation and replacement of aging infrastructure. The largest planned projects are the new water reclamation facility to meet regulatory requirements, improvements to three water treatment plants, phased construction of a new water conveyance line to expand service and provide redundancy, and water, sewer and storm water utility infrastructure work necessitated by street improvements projects pursuant to the City’s passage of the general obligation bond for that purpose. Public Utilities will also be utilizing proceeds from a $348,635,000 Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (WIFIA) loan secured to finance the construction of the water reclamation facility. The loan will be drawn through 2024. The City analyzes the potential value of refunding bond issues, particularly during periods of lower than normal interest rates or on an as needed basis and may issue refunding bonds at such times.

(1) The State’s general obligation debt is not included in overlapping debt because the State currently levies no property tax for payment of its general obligation bonds. (2) Taxable Value used in this table excludes the taxable value used to determine uniform fees on tangible personal property. See “FINANCIAL INFORMATION REGARDING SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH — Property Tax Matters — Uniform Fees” and “FINANCIAL INFORMATION REGARDING SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH — Taxable and Fair Market Value of Property.” (3) Entity’s General Obligation Debt used in this table is as of March 15, 2022 in the case of CUWCD, June 30, 2022 in the case Salt Lake City School District, and December 31, 2021 in the case of Salt Lake County. (4) Central Utah Water Conservancy District (“CUWCD”) encompasses all or a portion of eight State counties, including, among others, Salt Lake County. CUWCD’s outstanding general obligation bonds are limited ad valorem tax bonds. By law, CUWCD may levy a tax rate of up to 0.000400 to pay for operation and maintenance expenses and any outstanding general obligation indebtedness.

The legal debt limit and additional debt incurring capacity of the City are based on the estimated fair market value for 2021 and are calculated as follows: 2022 Fair Market Value (1) .................................................................................................... $ LEGAL DEBT MARGIN GENERAL PURPOSES 4% WATER, SEWER, AND LIGHTING 4% TOTAL 8% General Obligation Debt Limit $ $ $ Less: Outstanding General Obligation Bonds* ( ) - ( ) Legal Debt Margin* $ $ $ ____________________ * Preliminary; subject to change. † The full 8% may be used for water, sewer and electric purposes but if it is so used, then no general obligation bonds may be issued in excess of 8% for any purpose. (1) For debt incurring capacity only, in computing the fair market value of taxable property in the City, the fair market value of all tax equivalent property (which value includes the taxable value used to determine uniform fees on tangible personal property) has been included as a part of the fair market value of the taxable property in the City. - 21 - NO DEFAULTED OBLIGATIONS The City has never failed to pay principal of and interest on its financial obligations when due. FINANCIAL INFORMATION REGARDING SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH FUND STRUCTURE; ACCOUNTING BASIS The accounts of the City are organized on the basis of funds, each of which is considered to be a separate accounting entity. The operations of each fund are accounted for by providing a separate set of self-balancing accounts that comprise its assets, liabilities, fund balance or net assets, revenues, and expenditures or expenses. The various funds are grouped by type in the basic financial statements. Revenues and expenditures are recognized using the modified accrual basis of accounting in all governmental funds. Revenues are recognized in the accounting period in which they become both measurable and available. “Measurable” means that amounts can be reasonably determined within the current period. “Available” means that amounts are collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to be used to pay liabilities of the current period. The City uses 60 days as a cutoff for meeting the available criterion. Property taxes are considered “measurable” when levied and available when collected and held by Salt Lake County. Any amounts not available are recorded as deferred revenue. Franchise taxes are considered “measurable” when collected and held by the utility company, and are recognized as revenue at that time. Other revenues that are determined to be susceptible to accrual include grants-in-aid earned and other intergovernmental revenues, charges for services, interest, assessments, interfund service charges, and proceeds of the sale of property. Property taxes and assessments are recorded as receivables when assessed; however, they are reported as deferred revenue until the “available” criterion has been met. Sales and use taxes collected by the State and remitted to the City within the “available” time period are recognized as revenue. Revenues collected in advance are deferred and recognized in the period to which they apply. In proprietary funds, revenues and expenses are recognized using the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized in the accounting period in which they are earned and become measurable and expenses are recognized in the period incurred. FINANCIAL CONTROLS The City utilizes a computerized financial accounting system which includes a system of budgetary controls. State law requires budgets to be controlled by individual departments, but the City also maintains computerized control by major categories within departments. These computerized controls are such that a requisition cannot be entered into the purchasing system unless the appropriated funds are available. The system checks for sufficient funds again, prior to the purchase order being issued, and again before the payment check is issued. Voucher payments are also controlled by the computer for sufficient appropriations. - 22 - BUDGET AND APPROPRIATION PROCESS The budget and appropriation process of the City is governed by the Uniform Fiscal Procedures Act for Utah Cities, Title 10, Chapter 6, of the Utah Code (the “Fiscal Procedures Act”). Pursuant to the Fiscal Procedures Act, the budget officer of the City is required to prepare budgets for the General Fund, Special Revenue Funds, Debt Service Funds and Capital Improvement Fund. These budgets are to provide a complete financial plan for the budget (ensuing fiscal) year. Each budget is required to specify, in tabular form, estimates of anticipated revenues and appropriations for expenditures. Under the Fiscal Procedures Act, the total of anticipated revenues must equal the total of appropriated expenditures. On or before the first regular meeting of the City Council in May of each year, the budget officer is required to submit to the City Council tentative budgets for all funds for the Fiscal Year commencing July 1. Various actual and estimated budget data are required to be set forth in the tentative budgets. The budget officer may revise the budget request submitted by the heads of City departments, but must file these submissions with the City Council together with the tentative budget. The budget officer is required to estimate in the tentative budget the revenue from nonproperty tax sources available for each fund and the revenue from general property taxes required by each fund. The tentative budget is then provisionally adopted by the City Council, with any amendments or revisions that the City Council deems advisable prior to the public hearings on the tentative budget. After public notice and hearing, the tentative budget is adopted by the City Council, subject to further amendment or revisions by the City Council prior to adoption of the final budget. Prior to June 30th of each year, the final budgets for all funds are adopted by the City Council. The Fiscal Procedures Act prohibits the City Council from making any appropriation in the final budget of any fund in excess of the estimated expendable revenue of such fund. The adopted final budget is subject to amendment by the City Council during the Fiscal Year. However, in order to increase the budget total of any fund, public notice and hearing must be provided. Intra- and inter-department transfers of appropriation balances are permitted upon compliance with the Fiscal Procedures Act. The amount set forth in the final budget as the total amount of estimated revenue from property taxes constitutes the basis for determining the property tax levy to be set by the City Council for the succeeding tax year. INSURANCE COVERAGE The City is largely self-insured for general liability exposures, except for liability incurred on premises owned, rented, or occupied by the Department of Airports (the “Airport”) and cyber liability insurance. The Airport carries commercial general liability insurance with a $500,000,000 policy limit and no deductible. The Governmental Immunity Fund (an internal service fund) has been established to pay liability claims other than those covered by the Airport policy, along with certain litigation expenses. - 23 - The City carries an all risk property insurance policy (the “Policy”) with a $500,000,000 aggregate limit and a $100,000 deductible, except for earthquake, which carries a 1% deductible per location; and flood, which carries a $250,000 or $500,000 deductible, depending on location. Sub-limits include: (1) earthquake limit of $125,000,000 aggregate; (2) flood limit of $100,000,000 aggregate; (3) dams and appurtenant structures limit of $30,000,000 aggregate except for Mountain Dell, which carries a $60,000,000 aggregate limit; (4) business interruption and extra expense are covered at $10,000,000; and (5) terrorism loss is covered at $5,000,000. The City is self-insured for property loss above the limits and below the deductibles. The operating departments of the General Fund or proprietary funds assume financial responsibility for risk retained by the City for property damage. The Airport is covered by a separate all risk property insurance policy with a $1,000,000,000 limit, subject to sub-limits and a $100,000 deductible. Locations covered include Salt Lake City International Airport, South Valley Regional Airport, and Tooele Valley Airport. Boiler and machinery carry a deductible of $100,000. Flood carries a sub-limit of $100,000,000 and Earth movement carries sub-limit of $100,000,000 with a 2% deductible per unit, subject to a $100,000 minimum and $5,000,000 maximum in any one occurrence. Windstorm or hail carries a $500,000,000 limit, subject to a minimum $250,000 deductible per occurrence. Time element including business interruption, extra expense, rental value, and rental income is covered at $200,000,000 with a $100,000 deductible. Sub-limits apply for debris removal ($25,000,000), valuable papers and records ($25,000,000), errors and omissions ($10,000,000), and named storm ($1,000,000,000). The Treasurer, Deputy Treasurer, and Chief Financial Officer are each covered under $10,000,000 public official bonds. The City also has a government crime policy covering (1) employee theft with a $1,000,000 limit and $20,000 deductible; (2) forgery or alteration with a $25,000 limit and $1,000 deductible; (3) theft of money and securities with a $50,000 limit and $2,500 deductible; (4) robbery or safe burglary with a $50,000 limit and $2,500 deductible; (5) money orders and counterfeit money with a $50,000 limit and $2,500 deductible; and (6) computer fraud and funds transfer fraud, each carrying $1,000,000 limits and $20,000 deductibles. The City purchases excess workers’ compensation insurance with a $30,000,000 limit and $1,000,000 self-insured retention per occurrence for Fire and Police employees and $750,000 self- insured retention per occurrence for all other employee classifications. The City is self-insured for losses above the limits and below the deductibles. Further, the City is self-insured for unemployment. The Risk Management Fund (an internal service fund) has been established to pay these claims along with health insurance premiums and certain administrative expenses. During the past three fiscal years, there have been no settlements that exceeded the self-insured retentions. See “APPENDIX A – SALT LAKE CITY CORPORATION FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2022 – Notes to Financial Statements – Note 11 – Risk Management.” - 24 - INVESTMENT POLICY City Policy. It is the policy of the City to invest public funds in accordance with the principles of sound treasury management and in compliance with State and local laws, regulations, and other policies governing the investment of public funds, specifically, according to the terms and conditions of the State Money Management Act of 1974 and Rules of the State Money Management Council as currently amended (the “Money Management Act”), and the City’s own written investment policy. The following investment objectives, in order of priority, are met when investing public funds: safety of principal, need for liquidity, and maximum yield on investments consistent with the first two objectives. The City may use investment advisers to conduct investment transactions on its behalf as permitted by the Money Management Act and local ordinance or policy. Investment advisers must be certified by the Director of the Utah State Division of Securities of the Department of Commerce (the “Director”). Broker/dealers and agents who desire to become certified dealers must be certified by the Director and meet the requirements of the Money Management Act. Only qualified depositories as certified by Utah’s Commissioner of Financial Institutions are eligible to receive and hold deposits of public funds. The State Money Management Council issues a quarterly list of certified investment advisers, certified dealers, and qualified depositories authorized by State statute to conduct transactions with public treasurers. Transactions involving authorized deposits or investments of public funds may be conducted only through issuers of securities authorized by Section 51-7-11(3) of the Utah Code, qualified depositories included in the current State list, and certified dealers included in the current State list. The City Treasurer must take delivery of all investments purchased, including those purchased through a certified investment adviser. This may be accomplished by the City Treasurer taking physical delivery of the security or delivering the security to a bank or trust company designated by the City Treasurer for safekeeping. The City Treasurer may use a qualified depository bank for safekeeping securities or maintain an account with a money center bank for the purpose of settling investment transactions and safekeeping and collecting those investments. City policy provides that not more than 25% of total City funds or 25% of the qualified depository’s allotment, whichever is less, can be invested in any one qualified depository. Not more than 20% of total City funds may be invested in any one certified out-of-state depository institution. However, there is no limitation placed on the amount invested with the Utah Public Treasurer’s Investment Fund (“PTIF”) and other money market mutual funds, provided that the overall standards of investments achieve the City’s policy objectives. All funds pledged or otherwise dedicated to the payment of interest on and principal of bonds or notes issued by the City are invested in accordance with the terms and borrowing instruments applicable to such bonds or notes. City policy also provides that the remaining term to maturity of an investment may not exceed the period of availability of the funds invested. The investment of City funds cannot be of a speculative nature. The City’s entire portfolio is currently in compliance with all of the provisions of the Money Management Act. - 25 - The Utah Public Treasurers’ Investment Fund. The PTIF is a local government investment fund, established in 1981, and managed by the State Treasurer. Generally, substantial portion of the City’s funds are on deposit in the PTIF (currently approximately $1.5 billion). All investments in the PTIF must comply with the Money Management Act and rules of the State Money Management Council. The PTIF invests primarily in money market securities. Securities in the PTIF include certificates of deposit, commercial paper, short-term corporate notes, obligations of the U.S. Treasury and securities of certain agencies of the federal government. By policy, the maximum weighted average adjusted life of the portfolio is not to exceed 90 days and the maximum final maturity of any security purchased by the PTIF is limited to five years. Safekeeping and audit controls for all investments owned by the PTIF must comply with the Money Management Act. All securities purchased are delivered versus payment to the custody of the State Treasurer or the State Treasurer’s safekeeping bank, assuring a perfected interest in the securities. Securities owned by the PTIF are completely segregated from securities owned by the State. The State has no claim on assets owned by the PTIF except for any investment of State moneys in the PTIF. Deposits are not insured or otherwise guaranteed by the State. Investment activity of the State Treasurer in the management of the PTIF is reviewed monthly by the State Money Management Council and is audited by the State Auditor. The information in this section concerning the current status of the PTIF has been obtained from sources the City believes to be reliable, but the City takes no responsibility for the accuracy thereof. See “APPENDIX A – SALT LAKE CITY CORPORATION FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2022 – Notes to the Financial Statements – Note 2 – Cash, Cash Equivalents and Investments” below. PROPERTY TAX MATTERS The Property Tax Act, Chapter 2, Title 59 of the Utah Code (the “Property Tax Act”), provides that all taxable property is required to be assessed and taxed at a uniform and equal rate on the basis of its “fair market value” as of January 1 of each year, unless otherwise provided by law. “Fair market value” is defined in the Property Tax Act as “the amount at which property would change hands between a willing buyer and a willing seller, neither being under any compulsion to buy or sell and both having reasonable knowledge of the relevant facts.” Pursuant to an exemption for residential property provided for under the Property Tax Act and Article XIII of the State Constitution, the “fair market value” of residential property is reduced by 45%. The residential exemption is limited to one acre of land per residential unit and to one primary residence per household, except that an owner of multiple residential properties may exempt his or her primary residence and each residential property that is the primary residence of a tenant. The Property Tax Act provides that the Utah State Tax Commission (the “State Tax Commission”) shall assess certain types of property (“centrally-assessed property”), including (a) properties that operate as a unit across county lines that must be apportioned among more than one - 26 - county or state, (b) public utility (including railroad, but, effective January 1, 2023, excluding a telecommunications service provider) properties, (c) airline operating properties, (d) geothermal resources and (e) mines, mining claims and appurtenant machinery, facilities and improvements. All other taxable property (“locally-assessed property”) is required to be assessed by the county assessor of the county in which such locally-assessed property is located. Each county assessor must update property values annually based upon a systematic review of current market data by using a mass appraisal system and must also complete a detailed review of property characteristics for each parcel of property at least once every five years. The Property Tax Act requires that the State Tax Commission conduct an annual investigation in each county to determine whether all property subject to taxation is on the assessment rolls and whether the property is being assessed at its “fair market value.” The State Tax Commission and the county assessors utilize various valuation methods, as determined by statute, administrative regulation or accepted practice, to determine the “fair market value” of taxable property. Uniform Fees. An annual statewide uniform fee is levied on tangible personal property in lieu of the ad valorem tax. The uniform fee is based on the value of motor vehicles, watercraft, recreational vehicles, and all other tangible personal property required to be registered with the State. The current uniform fee is established at 1.5% of the fair market value of motor vehicles that weigh 12,001 pounds or more; watercraft; motorcycles, recreational vehicles and all other tangible personal property required to be registered with the State, excluding exempt property such as aircraft, commercial vehicles and property subject to a fixed age-based fee. Motor vehicles weighing 12,000 pounds or less are subject to an age-based fee that is due each time the vehicle is registered. The age-based fee is for passenger type vehicles and ranges from $7.75 to $150, depending on the age of the vehicle. Recreation vehicles, motorcycles, watercraft (except large watercraft), snowmobiles, certain small motor vehicles and motor homes required to be registered with the State are also subject to an aged-based fee that ranges from $4.00 to $700, depending on the age of the vehicle. The revenues collected from the various uniform fees are distributed by the county to the taxing entity in which the property is located in the same proportion in which revenue collected from ad valorem real property tax is distributed. Property Tax Valuation Agency Fund. The State Legislature requires each county to annually impose a multicounty assessing and collecting levy to fund a Property Tax Valuation Fund (the “PTVF”) and a Multicounty Appraisal Trust (the “Multicounty Trust”). Disbursements to counties from the PTVF are to be used to offset costs of assessing and collecting property taxes; improve the accurate valuation and uniform assessment levels of property and improve the efficiency of the property tax system and are based on various administrative rules. Funds deposited into the Multicounty Trust are to be used to provide funding for a statewide property tax system that is intended to promote, among other things, the accurate valuation of property, the establishment and maintenance of uniform assessment levels within and among counties, and the efficient administration of the property tax system, including the costs of assessment, collection and distribution of property taxes. A county may levy an additional tax to (a) promote the accurate valuation and uniform assessment levels of property, (b) promote the efficient administration of the property tax system, including the costs of assessment, collection and distribution of property taxes, (c) fund state mandated actions and (d) establish reappraisal programs. - 27 - TAX LEVY AND COLLECTION The State Tax Commission must assess all centrally-assessed property by May 1 of each year. County assessors must assess all locally-assessed property before May 22 of each year. The State Tax Commission apportions the value of centrally-assessed property to the various taxing entities within each county and reports such values to county auditors before June 8. The governing body of each taxing entity must adopt a proposed tax rate or, if the tax rate is not more than the certified tax rate, a final tax rate, before June 22; provided if the governing body has not received the taxing entity’s certified tax rate at least seven days prior to June 22, the governing body of the taxing entity must, no later than 14 days after receiving the certified tax rate from the county auditor, adopt a proposed tax rate or, if the tax rate is not more than the certified tax rate, a final tax rate. County auditors must forward to the State Tax Commission a statement prepared by the legislative body of each taxing entity showing the amount and purpose of each levy. Upon determination by the State Tax Commission that the tax levies comply with applicable law and do not exceed maximum permitted rates, the State Tax Commission notifies county auditors to implement the levies. If the State Tax Commission determines that a tax levy established by a taxing entity exceeds the maximum levy permitted by law, the State Tax Commission must lower the levy to the maximum levy permitted by law, notify the taxing entity that the rate has been lowered and notify the county auditor (of the county in which the taxing entity is located) to implement the rate established by the State Tax Commission. On or before July 22 of each year, the county auditors must mail to all owners of real estate shown on their assessment rolls notice of, among other things, the value of the property, itemized tax information for all taxing entities and the date their respective county boards of equalization will meet to hear complaints. Taxpayers owning property assessed by a county assessor may file an application within statutorily defined time limits based on the nature of the contest with the appropriate county board of equalization for the purpose of contesting the assessed valuation of their property. The county board of equalization must render a decision on each appeal in the time frame prescribed by the Property Tax Act. Under certain circumstances, the county board of equalization must hold a hearing regarding the application, at which the taxpayer has the burden of proving that the property sustained a decrease in fair market value. Decisions of the county board of equalization may be appealed to the State Tax Commission, which must decide all appeals relating to real property by March 1 of the following year. Owners of centrally-assessed property, or any county with a showing of reasonable cause, may, on or before the later of August 1 or a day within 90 days of the date the notice of assessment is mailed by the State Tax Commission, apply to the State Tax Commission for a hearing to contest the assessment of centrally-assessed property. The State Tax Commission must render a written decision within 120 days after the hearing is completed and all post-hearing briefs are submitted. The county auditor makes a record of all changes, corrections and orders, and delivers before November 1 the corrected assessment rolls to the county treasurers. On or before November 1, each county treasurer furnishes each taxpayer a notice containing, among other things, the kind and value of the property assessed to the taxpayer, the street address of the property, where applicable, the amount of the tax levied on the property and the year the property is subject to a detailed review. Without an extension by a county legislative body, taxes are due November 30, or if a Saturday, Sunday or holiday, the next business day. Each county treasurer is responsible for - 28 - collecting all taxes levied on real property within that county. There are no prior claims to such taxes. As taxes are collected, each county treasurer must pay to the State and each taxing entity within the county its proportionate share of the taxes, on or before the tenth day of each month. Delinquent taxes are subject to a penalty of 2.5% (or 1% if paid on or before the January 31 immediately following the delinquency date) of the amount of the taxes or $10, whichever is greater. Unless the delinquent taxes and penalty are paid before January 31 of the following year, the amount of delinquent taxes and penalty bears interest at the federal funds rate target established by the Federal Open Markets Committee plus 6% from the January 1 following the delinquency date until paid (provided that said interest may not be less than 7% or more than 10%) If delinquent taxes have not been paid by March 15 following the lapse of four years from the delinquency date, the affected county advertises and sells the property at a final tax sale held in May or June of the fifth year after assessment. The process described above changes if a county or other taxing entity proposes a tax rate in excess of the certified tax rate (as described under “FINANCIAL INFORMATION REGARDING SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH — Public Hearing on Certain Tax Increases” below). If such an increase is proposed, the taxing entity must adopt a proposed tax rate before June 22. In addition, the county auditor must include certain information in the notices to be mailed by July 22, as described above, including information concerning the tax impact of the proposed increase on the property and the time and place of the public hearing described in “FINANCIAL INFORMATION REGARDING SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH — Public Hearing on Certain Tax Increases” below. In most cases, notice of the public hearing must also be advertised by publication. After the public hearing is held, the taxing entity may adopt a resolution levying a tax in excess of the certified tax rate. The final tax notice is then mailed by November 1. PUBLIC HEARING ON CERTAIN TAX INCREASES Each taxing entity that proposes to levy a tax rate that exceeds the “certified tax rate” may do so, by resolution, only after holding a properly noticed public hearing. Generally, the certified tax rate is the rate necessary to generate the same property tax revenue that the taxing entity budgeted for the prior year, with certain exclusions. For purposes of calculating the certified tax rate, county auditors are to use the taxable value of property on the assessment rolls, exclusive of eligible new growth. With certain exceptions, the certified tax rate for the minimum school levy, debt service voted on by the public and certain state and county assessing and collecting levies are the actual levies imposed for such purposes and no hearing is required for these levies. Among other requirements, on or before July 22 of the year in which such an increase is proposed, the county auditor must mail to all property owners a notice of the public hearing. In most cases, the taxing entity must also advertise the notice of the public hearing by publication in a newspaper. Such notices must state, among other things, the value of the property, the taxable value of the property, the deadline to make application to appeal the valuation or equalization of the property, and the tax impact of the proposed increase. - 29 - SOURCES OF GENERAL FUND REVENUES Set forth below are brief descriptions of the various sources of revenues available to the City’s general fund.

See “FINANCIAL INFORMATION REGARDING SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH — Taxable and Fair Market Value of Property.” (Source: Salt Lake City Corporation Annual Comprehensive Financial Report for the year ended June 30, 2022.) RECENT DEVELOPMENTS {To be updated by the City.} General. Fiscal year 2022 general fund expenses are expected to end very close to budget. Overall revenue for fiscal year 2022 is projected to be $31.0 million over budget. Permit and license revenue is expected to be higher than budgeted due to increases in construction related to permitting and a rebound of travel related taxes such as innkeepers and Airport parking. Total sales tax revenues are approximately $25.4 million over budget due to robust retail spending, specifically in online sales. Fund balance for the end of fiscal year 2021 was $68.7 million or 20.44% of total revenues for the year. The City Council and administration have an internal goal to keep the fund balance above 14% of total revenue for each fiscal year. In fiscal year 2020 the total fund balance was $64.5 million (19.13%). Fiscal year 2022 budget grew by approximately 43.7%, an increase of $534.7 million as compared to the previous year. Major general fund - 39 - expense increases were $23.6 million mostly associated with salary and benefit cost increases, 49.85 new positions at a budgeted cost of $4.6 million. COVID-19. The City has also received $7,987,257 in Rental Assistance and $42,705,786 (first 50% installment) from The American Rescue Plan. INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS CLIMATE CHANGE Climate change caused by human activities may have adverse effects on the City. As greenhouse gas emissions continue to accumulate in the atmosphere as a result of economic activity, climate change is expected to intensify, increasing the frequency, severity and timing of extreme weather events such as coastal storm surges, drought, wildfires, floods and heat waves, and rising sea levels. The future fiscal impact of climate change on the City is difficult to predict, but it could be significant and it could have a material adverse effect on the City’s finances by requiring greater expenditures to counteract the effects of climate change or by changing the business and activities of City residents. The City considers the potential effects of climate change in its planning. CYBERSECURITY The risk of cyberattacks against commercial enterprises, including those operated for a governmental purpose, has become more prevalent in recent years. At least one of the rating agencies factors the risk of such an attack into its ratings analysis, recognizing that a cyberattack could affect liquidity, public policy and constituent confidence, and ultimately credit quality. A cyberattack could cause the informational systems of the City to be compromised and could limit operational capacity, for short or extended lengths of time and could bring about the release of sensitive and private information. Additionally, other potential negative consequences include data loss or compromise, diversion of resources to prevent future incidences and reputational damage. To date, the City has not been the subject of a successful cyberattack. The City believes it has made all reasonable efforts to ensure that any such attack is not successful and that the information systems of the City are secure. However, there can be no assurance that a cyberattack will not occur in a manner resulting in damage to the City’s information systems or other challenges. The City has insurance coverage for cyber liability. See “FINANCIAL INFORMATION REGARDING SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH–Insurance Coverage” herein. TAX TREATMENT FEDERAL INCOME TAXATION Interest on the Bonds is includible in gross income for federal income purposes. Ownership of the Bonds may result in other federal income tax consequences to certain taxpayers. Bondholders should consult their tax advisors with respect to the inclusion of interest on the Bonds in gross income for federal income tax purposes and any collateral tax consequences. - 40 - The City may deposit moneys or securities in escrow in such amount and manner as to cause the Bonds to be deemed to be no longer outstanding for purposes of calculating outstanding debt under State law (a “defeasance”). A defeasance of the Bonds may be treated as an exchange of the Bonds by the holders thereof and may therefore result in gain or loss to the holders. Bond holders should consult their own tax advisors about the consequences if any of such a defeasance. The City is required to provide notice of defeasance of the Bonds as a material event under its Continuing Disclosure Agreement. UTAH INCOME TAXATION In the opinion of Bond Counsel, under the existing laws of the State of Utah, as presently enacted and construed, interest on the Bonds is exempt from taxes imposed by the Utah Individual Income Tax Act. Bond Counsel expresses no opinion with respect to any other taxes imposed by the State or any political subdivision thereof. Ownership of the Bonds may result in other state and local tax consequences to certain taxpayers. Bond Counsel expresses no opinion regarding any such collateral consequences arising with respect to the Bonds. Prospective purchasers of the Bonds should consult their tax advisors regarding the applicability of any such state and local taxes. LITIGATION The City Attorney reports the following matters involving potential financial liability of the City: Lawsuits are periodically filed against the City and/or its employees, involving tort and civil rights matters. The City has a statutory obligation to defend and indemnify its officers and employees in relation to lawsuits arising from acts or failures to act of the officers or employees while in the scope and course of employment. The City maintains a governmental immunity fund for claims against the City. In the event the fund is not sufficient to pay any outstanding judgment or judgments, the City has the ability under State law to levy a limited ad valorem tax to pay such judgments. This tax levy is separate and apart from the other taxing powers of the City. The City also has contract claims, condemnation proceedings and environmental matters, none of which is expected to materially adversely affect the City’s financial condition. CONTINUING DISCLOSURE The City will enter into a Continuing Disclosure Agreement (the “Agreement”), in substantially the form attached hereto as APPENDIX B, for the benefit of the beneficial owners of the Bonds to send certain information annually and to provide notice of certain events to the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board pursuant to the requirements of Section (b)(5) of Rule 15c2-12 (the “Rule”) adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. - 41 - The City has entered into a number of continuing disclosure undertakings pursuant to the Rule with respect to the bonds it has issued and has contracted with a number of dissemination agents to file annual information and notices of certain events on behalf of the City. In the previous five years the City provided its annual financial information and audited financial statements to the applicable dissemination agent in advance of the deadline specified in the applicable continuing disclosure undertaking. Dissemination agents for certain of the City’s bonds filed such information late; however, the information was filed within 10 days of the deadline. Additionally, with respect to certain water and sewer bonds, during the previous five years the City filed the audited financial statements of the City’s utilities system, but did not include the audited financial statements of the City. Corrective filings have been made and the City has taken steps to ensure that in the future the City’s audited financial statements will be filed for such water and sewer revenue bonds as required. At the time of the initial corrective filings the City determined that such filings were immaterial with respect to certain maturities of the water and sewer revenue bonds that had already matured, and corrective filing were not made for such maturities. In connection with a prior purchase of certain of the City’s general obligation bonds, the purchaser requested that corrective filings be made for such previously matured water and sewer revenue bonds. The City complied with such request despite having determined that such filings were not material. The City has an ongoing program of financing its fleet vehicles through capital leases. In continuation of that program, following the expiration of a master lease agreement, on August 2, 2021, the City entered into a new Municipal Master Lease Agreement (the “Master Lease”) to finance the City vehicles for the next five (5) years. The City recently determined that, although the Master Lease was a continuation of the City’s longstanding vehicle financing program, notice of the Master Lease should have been posted on EMMA as a material financial obligation for certain of its bonds. Subsequent to such determination, notice of the Master Lease was posted on EMMA. The City has adopted continuing disclosure policies and procedures to help ensure compliance with its continuing disclosure undertakings. A failure by the City to comply with the Agreement will not constitute a default under the Resolution and beneficial owners of the Bonds are limited to the remedies described in the Agreement. A failure by the City to comply with the Agreement must be reported in accordance with the Rule and must be considered by any broker, dealer or municipal securities dealer before recommending the purchase or sale of the Bonds in the secondary market. Consequently, such a failure may adversely affect the transferability and liquidity of the Bonds and their market price. See “FORM OF CONTINUING DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT” attached hereto as APPENDIX B for the information to be provided, the events which will be noticed on an occurrence basis and the other terms of the Agreement, including termination, amendment and remedies. APPROVAL OF LEGAL PROCEEDINGS The authorization and issuance of the Bonds are subject to the approval of Chapman and Cutler LLP, Bond Counsel to the City. Certain legal matters will be passed upon for the City by - 42 - the City Attorney and by Chapman and Cutler LLP, as the City’s Disclosure Counsel. The approving opinion of Bond Counsel will be delivered with the Bonds in substantially the form set forth in APPENDIX C of this Official Statement and will be made available upon request from the contact persons as indicated under “INTRODUCTION — Contact Persons.” The various legal opinions to be delivered concurrently with the delivery of the Bonds express the professional judgment of the attorneys rendering the opinions as to the legal issues explicitly addressed therein. By rendering a legal opinion, the opinion giver does not become an insurer or guarantor of that expression of professional judgment, of the transaction opined upon, or of the future performance of parties to the transaction. Nor does the rendering of an opinion guarantee the outcome of any legal dispute that may arise out of the transaction. BOND RATINGS As of the date of this Official Statement, the Bonds have been rated “____” and “____” by Fitch Ratings, Inc. and by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., respectively. Any explanation of the significance of the ratings may only be obtained from the rating service furnishing the same. There is no assurance that the ratings given will be maintained for any period of time or that the ratings will not be revised downward or withdrawn entirely by the rating agency if, in its judgment, circumstances so warrant. Any such downward revision or withdrawal of such ratings may have an adverse effect on the market price of the Bonds. MUNICIPAL ADVISOR The City has entered into an agreement with Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated (the “Municipal Advisor”), whereunder the Municipal Advisor provides financial recommendations and guidance to the City with respect to preparation for sale of the Bonds, timing of the sale, tax-exempt bond market conditions, costs of issuance and other factors related to the sale of the Bonds. The Municipal Advisor has participated in the preparation of and provided information for certain portions of the Official Statement, but has not audited, authenticated or otherwise verified the information set forth in the Official Statement, or any other related information available to the City, with respect to accuracy and completeness of disclosure of such information, and the Municipal Advisor makes no guaranty, warranty or other representation respecting accuracy and completeness of the Official Statement or any other matter related to the Official Statement. INDEPENDENT AUDITORS The basic financial statements of Salt Lake City Corporation as of and for the Year Ended June 30, 2022 included in APPENDIX A to this Official Statement, have been audited by Eide Bailly LLP, independent auditors, as stated in their report appearing herein. - 43 - MISCELLANEOUS All quotations contained herein from and summaries and explanations of the State Constitution, statutes, programs and laws of the State, court decisions and the Resolution, do not purport to be complete, and reference is made to the State Constitution, statutes, programs, laws, court decisions and the Resolution for full and complete statements of their respective provisions. Any statements in this Official Statement involving matters of opinion, whether or not expressly so stated, are intended as such and not as representation of fact. The appendices attached hereto are an integral part of this Official Statement and should be read in conjunction with the foregoing material.
