Section G: Council Consent Agenda – Grant Awards
G-1: Greater Salt Lake Area Clean Energy and Air Roadmap
Misc. Grants
$1,000,000.00
Department: Sustainability
Prepared By: Amy Dorsey
The City received a grant from the United States Environmental Protection Agency on August 4, 2023. The first deliverable of
this grant is due by March 1, 2024, so there is a sense of urgency to approve the acceptance of the funds.
CPRG funding is available in two phases. In the first phase, Formula Grants for Planning are apportioned to states ($3
million each) and 67 of the largest Metropolitan Statistical Areas ($1 million each) to produce a Priority Climate Action Plan
(PCAP) and Comprehensive Climate Action Plan (CCAP). In the second phase, the EPA is conducting competitive grant
rounds to disperse $4.6 billion to implement measures identified in PCAPs and CCAPs.
Sustainability is asking for a straw poll from the Council: They would like to use the grants reserve fund to cover the costs of
1) finalizing an RFP for a consultant 2) posing a job for the grant-funded coordinator and 3) negotiating and signing a sub-
award agreement with one of our grant partners. The EPA grant would then reimburse the fund.

G-5: Backman Community Open Space
Misc. Grants
$200,000.00
Department: Public Lands
Prepared By: Amy Dorsey
Salt Lake City's (City) Department of Public Lands will improve the open space adjacent to Backman Elementary. The design
will likely include intentional landscaping and safety improvements, multiple nature playground amenities, watchable
wildlife areas, an outdoor gathering area, and a permaculture garden and/or similar amenities. This open space area is
covered with thick, invasive vegetation and remains virtually unused by the surrounding community. The current conditions
create safety concerns for families whose children use the existing trail and bridge to walk to school. An analysis by the
University of Utah of census block data shows that this natural area could provide children and their families greater access
to nature than any other single natural open space in the city, making the site an unprecedented public asset for hundreds of
local children and families in the City's Rose Park neighborhood and users of the Jordan River Parkway by improving a
blighted section of the trail.
A 50% match is required.
A public hearing was held on May 16, 2023.
