Department: Fire Prepared By: Chief Karl Lieb / Clint

For questions, please include Chief Lieb, Clint Rasmussen, Greg Cleary and Mary Beth Thompson
Current Status
The Salt Lake City Fire Department (SLCFD) currently operates three Medical Response Teams (MRTs) with another
funded at the Salt Lake City Airport beginning in January of 2024 for a total of four MRTs. Each MRT is comprised of 4
Firefighters (FFs), for a total of 16 FFs allocated and funded for the MRT program. All FFs currently allocated to the MRT
are Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs). By staffing a MRT with 3 EMTs and 1 Paramedic, rather than 4 EMTS, the
response capability would increase by
Replacing one of the EMTs as a Paramedic (Advanced Life Support or ALS) would increase the capability of the MRTs by
approximately 30% and allow them to perform more advanced patient assessments.
Paramedics are currently at a premium nationwide. Fortunately, SLCFD trains and remains appropriately staffed with
Paramedics on our Medic Engines (4-handed) for our optimal response model - two Paramedics on each of eight daily
Medic (ALS) Engines within SLC. These Medic Engines respond to the most serious medical and fire calls and should
remain staffed in this configuration as a 4-handed unit for maximum capability.
Proposal
This item it to establish 4 new FTEs (Medical Response Paramedics) and reclassify 4 existing FTEs (Firefighters) to
Medical Response Paramedics.
The SLCFD proposes to diversify our current MRT model by replacing and displacing a total of eight (8) MRT FF EMTs
with Medical Response Paramedics (SRPs). This would ideally staff one (1) Paramedic on each unit of four daily operating
MRTs.
The transition would expand the current MRTs response capability with an ALS component while maintaining the integrity
of the MRT as a FD resource responding from and residing within select SLCFD fire stations.
The SRPs would be civilian, potentially sworn, and eligible to participate in the Firefighters or Tier 2 Public
Safety/Firefighter retirement systems.
The SRPs would participate in a training regimen developed by the SLCFD for their specific role within our EMS response
model. SRPs will serve under a new job title, new wage schedule, and possibly as part of SLCFD’s Local 81 labor group.
Process
The SLCFD would realize eight (8) Medical Response Paramedics through a combination of additional FTEs and
conversion of existing FTEs:
1. SLCFD is requesting four (4) additional FTEs in the form of Medical Response Paramedics at a half-year cost $150,119
plus some start-up costs of $10,400. Full year funding for FY25 would be an additional budget increase of $142,519. No
new equipment (radio’s, tablets, vehicles, etc.) is required. These new positions would be funded for six months beginning
January 2024.
2. SLCFD would retain the option to convert four (4) existing vacant FF positions currently funded for the MRT to SRPs by
the end of calendar year 2023.
3. The remaining four FFs displaced by the four requested SRPs would be utilized to fill 4 -handed vacancies or additional
resources throughout Salt Lake City in an effort to reduce OT and consistently staff SLCFD heavy apparatus.

A-7: Access Control System Upgrade – Security GF $400,000.00
Department: Public Services Prepared By: Jorge Chamorro
For questions, please include Jorge Chamorro
The current access control system and devices across City buildings are now considered outdated and vulnerable, and staff
are proposing this be addressed before the system fails. This system is used for access badges issued to all City employees
to scan at certain doors to gain access to a given space. The Safety and Security Program proposes continuing the transition
to the S2 control access system as a City-wide standard.
With the recent allocation of funding from Council, the Public Safety Buildi ng and City Hall have upgraded their back-end
software. The funding requested for the next phase should transition Plaza 349 and the Justice Courts. Additionally, access
cards and card readers will be purchased for all four buildings. This project scope has been developed with staff from
various departments, including IMS, to ensure standards and needs are met. The estimated cost for this project is
$400,000.

Public Services - Compliance is requesting a transfer of $20,000 to the Fleet Replacement Fund helping cover the
difference in cost to purchase two electric trucks instead of the originally funded smaller vehicles.
Fleet has been presented with an opportunity to order these electric trucks. One of the vehicles is part of the replacement
cycle, upgrading the originally intended vehicle to a more capable one, and will allow for Parking Enforcement operations
to continue during winter snow events, especially in areas like the Avenues. Additionally, the extra cargo space is needed to
transport equipment such as pay station kiosks and equipment as needed. In addition to these advantages, the second

A-9: Road Marking Maintenance GF $200,000.00
Department: Public Services – Streets Prepared By: Jorge Chamorro
For question, please include Jorge Chamorro
Over the past few years the Transportation Division has been successful in obtaining funding for special road markings
through the CIP process, which include green paint on certain bike lanes .
After assessing the current inventory of assets made up of 1010 bike racks and 3.23 miles of green-painted bike lanes and
markings, staff has concluded that this ongoing maintenance need should no longer rely on the CIP process but rather be
added to the Streets operating budget. At this time the need does not justify upfront cost of equipment procurement,
Streets will develop a maintenance schedule and oversee a contract to perform the necessary maintenance work. If funding
is approved for this item, though most of the work would not occur in the winter, contract development and work
scheduling could be done in the meantime with work happening as weather allows.
The Streets Division is requesting $200,000 to be added to their budget for ongoing maintenance of road markings and
assets recently inventoried.
A-10: Pay Station Replacement GF $135,992.49
Department: Public Services/Finance
The current pay stations were purchased over 10 years ago. Due to their age, they are past the end of their useful life and a t
risk of failure. New pay stations will allow the City to modernize the services offered to end users. The new pay stations
will provide more features for the public including parking payment, information sharing about events going on city wide,
the capability to pay by license plate technology, potential pollution sensors, and other innovative features. The
modernization of the pay stations will allow for smoother staff operations and continued service to end users. City Finance
is recommending a 7-year amortization rather than using the General Fund for one-time payment.
The amortization schedule is attached and includes a 7-year payment schedule, with $135,992.49 due in Year 1, and
$271,984.98 due in years two (2) through year seven (7). This includes an interest rate of 4.60%. The Council may consider
a 5-year schedule which is also attached, with an interest rate of 4.77%.
This item is being brought forward with Budget Amendment 3 due to the Request for Proposal process and market
conditions around equipment. At the time of budget development, staff did not have clear insight into the cost or timeline
of pay station procurement and delivery. Following the completion of the RFP process, staff feel it is best to proceed with
the selected vendor for the reasons outlined above.

WHEREAS, the City Council of Salt Lake City now desires to amend city code to
create a division of legislative affairs within the Department of the City Attorney.
WHEREAS, the division of legislative affairs will direct the City’s legislative
advocacy and collaboration efforts, and will be equally responsible to the Mayor and the

WHEREAS, the City Council of Salt Lake City also desires to clarify the
Department of the City Attorney’s reporting obligations to both branches of government

2.08.040: OFFICE OF CITY ATTORNEY:
A. Functions:
1. The city attorney shall be the chief legal officer of the city and shall be
responsible to the mayor and city council for the proper administration of the
legal affairs of the executive and legislative branches of city government. The
city attorney shall report to both the mayor and the council chair and may be
removed at the discretion of the mayor.
2. The executive and legislative branches of government shall enjoy equal and
independent access to the services of the office of the city attorney with reference
to their respective functions and duties. It shall be the responsibility of the city
attorney to administer the office of the city attorney in a manner which will enable
