ADDITIONAL & BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Section A: New Items
A-1: Youth & Family Funding Due to Loss of Grant. (General Fund One-time $350,000)
This one-time allocation from Fund Balance would sustain current service levels and programming for three
middle school programs—in Glendale, Central City, and Rose Park—after the loss of the Teen Afterschool
Prevention (TAP) grant, from the State Department of Workforce Services (DWS), for students in grades 7 and
8. The Division has received the grant for the past nine years (three funding cycles) but did not this year because
statewide allocations from the Federal government dropped and DWS shifted its priority to rural areas. The
$350,000 amount also would ensure that the School-Age Quality (SAQ) grant, which funds Youth & Family
programs for elementary school children, will remain in compliance with Child Care Licensing standards.
The loss of the TAP grant represents $1,008,000 of City’s program funding across the typical three-year cycle. In
response, the Division has reviewed its allocations and streamlined programs and processes. The Division’s
strategic plan, which will reflect these funding challenges, will be ready this fall.
A-2: National League of Cities Annual Cities Summit Costs (General Fund One-time $300,000)
The Administration is requesting an additional $300,000 from Fund Balance to cover costs associated with
hosting the National League of Cities (NLC) annual Cities Summit this November. Those costs include services
related to conference contractual obligations, transportation, venue rental, catering, entertainment, printing,
and more.
The requested funding is in addition to the $250,000 allocated by the Council as part of Budget Amendment No.
5 in FY25 and the $250,000 approved in the City's FY26 budget. The Administration continues to fundraise to
offset conference costs to the City with a goal of raising $250,000.
A-3: Elected Officials Transition Costs (General Fund One-time $45,000)
The Administration is requesting $45,000 from Fund Balance to fund transition expenses for elected officials.
City Code 2.03.030 requires that, during an election year, the City consider appropriating funds through the
annual budget process or a budget amendment to support the transition of a newly elected mayor or council
members.
For the 2025 municipal election, up to three councilors may require transition funding. The estimated cost for
salaries and benefits over eight pay periods is $14,440 per Council Member, totaling $43,320. An additional
$1,680 is requested for device purchase(s). Any further device costs would be coordinated through the IMS
Interservice Fund. These costs are consistent with current City Council compensation. This item could be held
and the amount adjusted based on the outcome of the election to minimize the impact on Fund Balance.
A-4: 1200 East Median Restoration 300 South to 500 South (CIP Fund – One-time $722,250 and
Impact Fees – One-time $232,470)
As part of the FY2026 CIP review, Council issued the following CIP Legislative Intent: “I further move that it is
the intent of the Council to address funding for curb, gutter, and irrigation needs on the 1200 East medians ( CIP
Project # 25) with existing funds in Transportation and Public Lands, in an upcoming budget amendment.”
In response to the Legislative Intent, the Administration is requesting $954,720 from the following funding
appropriations:
- Park Impact Fees: $232,470
- Rescope of FY2024 CIP Complete Streets Funding: $351,000
- FY2025 CIP Irrigation System Replacement Funding: $371,250. NOTE: the 300 South to 400 South
blocks were included in the approved FY2025 CIP application, and this reappropriation extends the
irrigation replacement to 500 South.
This funding will fully fund the $954,720 request included in CIP Project #25. The separate CIP application
requesting public art for this area is not included in this proposed funding. If approved, construction will occur
in 2026 or 2027.

A-5: Modification of Appointed Position at Police (General Fund – Ongoing $0)
The Administration is requesting a modification to an appointed position in the Police Department. Specifically,
the proposal updates the title of the Communications Administrative Director to Civilian Chief of Staff.
Additionally, the job description will be updated.
The Civilian Chief of Staff is described as an appointed, at-will position that supports the Chief of Police in
advancing department goals, improving operational efficiency, and strengthening interdepartmental and
community relationships. The role provides non-sworn expertise in management, policy, communications, and
administration to enhance departmental performance. For a full job description, please see Attachment 2.
This proposal makes changes only to the title in the Compensation Plan and the job description. The position
will remain classified at Grade A3, with a salary range of $110,000 to $250,000. No one-time or ongoing funds
are being requested.
A-6: Reclassification of Police Appointed Position to 2.0 FTEs (General Fund – ongoing $0)
The Administration is proposing to reclassify the Internal Affairs Director into two new FTE’s.
The new positions are as follows:
(1) Communications Coordinator – Social Media Content
a. This position will play a key role in enhancing the visibility, transparency, and community
engagement efforts of the Department. This position will be responsible for creating, managing,
and distributing engaging multimedia content across various social media platforms. The ideal
candidate would be a skilled storyteller who can highlight the department’s mission, daily
activities, community outreach, and public safety initiatives through compelling video,
photography, and written content.
(2) Communications Coordinator – Communications Specialist
a. This position will support the Department's internal and external communication efforts by
developing content, creating materials, and assisting the Public Information Officer (PIO) staff.
They will play a key role in ensuring timely, accurate, and consistent communication to
department staff, city leadership, the media, and the public.
Both positions are proposed to be classified at Grade E25, with a salary range of $58,013 - $100,232. No one-
time or ongoing funds are being requested. These positions will be funded through the payroll savings from the
elimination of the Internal Affairs Director, which was classified at Grade A3, with a salary range of $110,000 to
$250,000. The positions will report to the proposed Civilian Chief of Staff.
The duties of the internal affairs director will be assumed by the Internal Affairs Lieutenant who will report to a
Deputy Chief. For a full description of the current Internal Affairs Director’s duties, please see Attachment 3.
The Administration reports that this change will streamline the Internal Affairs process and be in alignment
with an updated Personnel Complaints policy. The department is also currently evaluating the possible need for
an audit/policy adherence position similar to an inspector general.
The Administration is requesting a straw poll which, if in the affirmative, would allow for early advertisement of
the requested positions.
A-7: Utah Inland Port Authority Funding - Transfer to CIP (CIP Fund – One-time $180,000)
In accordance with the relevant donation and funding agreements, the Inland Port has provided $180,000 to the
City to support the expansion of the Trainfo system. These funds need to be transferred to CIP for expenditure.
This marks the second contribution from Inland Port funds toward this initiative. Subject to future actions
under the applicable agreements, additional funding may be available in subsequent years. If received, future
funds will be used to support the system’s expansion and ongoing operati onal costs, such as software licenses,
maintenance, and repairs.
Page | 5
A-8: Airgas Funding to Transportation - Transfer to CIP (CIP Fund – One-time $70,000)
To help address ongoing street racing issues in front of their facility, Airgas has provided $70,000 to the City for
street modifications. These funds must be transferred to CIP for expenditure.
The total cost for installing two speed tables is $115,365. The remaining balance will be covered using either
Livable Streets Quick Action funds or Vision Zero funds.
The Administration has previously partnered with other businesses to install similar speed tables on Ninigret
Drive, which have proven effective in deterring street racing.
A-9: Take-Home Vehicle Insurance Policy Premium Adjustment (Government Immunity Fund -
Ongoing $94,791)
The Administration is requesting $94,791 to fund increased insurance premium costs for the Take-Home
Vehicle Program.
When the FY25 budget was adopted, $200,000 was appropriated based on a December 2024 estimate.
However, due to losses incurred between the estimate and the July 1 renewal, the actual premium increased to
$294,791.
The proposed allocation will fund the difference. Additionally, this will represent an ongoing cost to the
Government Immunity Fund. There may be continued increases to the premium, however, without actual data,
it’s difficult to confirm whether there will be a continued increase, but it is dependent on the necessary use of the
policy. In Fiscal Year 2027 the policy will be re-evaluated.
Safety programs are being implemented throughout the City to mitigate the risk of accidents relating to take
home city vehicles.
A-10: CBIA-25 Budget (Misc. Special Revenue Fund - Ongoing $2,500,000)
In April 2025, the Council adopted an ordinance re-establishing the Central Business Improvement Assessment
Area (CBIA-25) for an additional three-year term. Due to the timing of the adoption, the budget was unable to be
set during the City’s annual budgeting process.
The Administration requests $2.5 million to support the special assessment in its first year. The total amount
recognizes both the estimated revenue and expenses based on what the City has raised since the establishment
of CBIA-25.
Most of these funds will be paid to the contractor responsible for economic promotion. Additionally, $151,200
will be allocated for the City’s administrative fee. $185,630 will be held in a reserve account.
A-11: Assistance for Airport Federal Partners Due to Government Shutdown (Airport Fund One-
time $100,000)
Due to the federal government shutdown that began on October 1st, the Administration is requesting
authorization to use $100,000 in existing Airport funds to purchase food, household supplies, and gas cards to
support Transportation Security Administration (TSA) personnel at the airport. These employees are expected to
continue working without pay during the shutdown. The Council may recall a similar request made in 2019,
when assistance was also provided to support our TSA partners. With the recent expansion of the airport and an
increase in passenger traffic at security checkpoints, the need for support is even greater. Based on guidance
from legal counsel, the Administration is seeking City Council approval and endorsement of using existing funds
in this way; no new funds are being requested.

Section C: Grants for New Staff Resources
None
Section D: Housekeeping
D-1: Construction Mitigation Fund Carry Forward (General Fund One-time $168,000)
The Department of Economic Development (DED) requests that the remaining Construction Mitigation Fund
balance of $168,000 be carried from FY25 Budget Amendment #5 to FY26. The Council allocated $270,000 as
part of Budget Amendment #5 in FY25, and DED deployed $102,000 to impacted businesses before the end of
FY25. The remaining $168,000 is anticipated to support 56 additional grants of $3000 to qualifying businesses
impacted by specific construction sites.
The Construction Mitigation Grant Program aims to help retain businesses during critical and necessary
infrastructure upgrades.
As part of FY26, the Council approved $350,000 for the program. This $168,000 amount would be in addition
to the previous allocation.
D-2 IMS CCAC FY 2026 Budget (IMS Fund One-time $159,414)
IMS is requesting to use $159,414 to bring 22 positions within cybersecurity, system engineering, project
management, data privacy, and directors of technology services up to the market rate for FY26, as recommended
in the 2025 Citizens’ Compensation Advisory Committee (CCAC) report. The allocation is proposed to come
from IMS's fund balance.
D-3: IMS Fund Budget Carry Forward (IMS Fund One-time $2,241,88)
IMS has requested to carry forward $2,241,881 from their FY25 budget to cover expenses and contracts that
were funded but not fully paid in FY25. These include office equipment and software expenses where the
transaction timing did not align with the City's fiscal year.
D-4: Language Access Transfer from the Mayor’s Office (Ongoing $50,000)
The ongoing expense has been moved from the Mayor's Office to IMS to reflect IMS's management of contracts
with language access service providers and translation assistance. The Mayor's Office decrease was reflected in
the FY26 budget, but the corresponding increase was omitted. This amendment corrects that omission. No
decrease or disruption in translation service access is anticipated.
D-5: Golf Fund Budget Carry Forward. (Golf Fund – One-time $957,404)
This is a budget carry-forward to pay outstanding financial obligations that were encumbered in FY25 and will
be paid in FY26. Rather than representing a single project amount, the total reflects equipment purchases
totaling $437,666 (mostly related to care for the greens and surrounding areas) plus $519,476 in facility
improvements and repairs. The four largest individual expenses are:
Bonneville Range Fence $158,435
Forest Dale Roof $131,430
Mountain Dell Stairs $123,971
Forest Dale Simulators $105,900
TOTAL $519,476

D-6: Green Bike Expansion (CIP Fund – One-time $608,290)
UDOT has awarded the City $608,290 in federal funding to support the expansion of the Green Bike Program.
The City is required to provide a local match of $44,172. This funding will support the addition of approximately
nine new Green Bike stations, which will include bicycles.
The UDOT funds are currently held in the Miscellaneous Grants Fund and must be transferred to CIP for
expenditure.
D-7: Interest on General Obligation and Sales Tax Bonds CIP Fund One-time $6,355,027)
This item accounts for interest revenue on proceeds that accumulated from July 2024-July 2025. The revenue
was generated by unspent proceeds from multiple bond issuances, including three issuances of the Streets
Reconstruction General Obligation Bonds (2020-2022), the October 2022 issuance of the Sales Tax Revenue
Bonds, and the October 2023 Parks General Obligation Bonds. This amendment adjusts the CIP budget to
reflect the actual amounts available. Interest revenue from bonds is allocated to the same projects the bonds
were originally approved for.
D-8: Fleet Fund Budget Carry Forward (Fleet Fund One-time $13,202,498)
This is the Fleet encumbrance carry forward for vehicles and equipment that were committed to with the funds
appropriated in FY 2025 or earlier, but that have not been received or completed and put into service.
Additionally, a small amount of this request relates to encumbrances for various vehicle asset maintenance
services or purchases that were also not fully expensed by the FY 2025 year-end. Council Members may recall
that during Budget Amendment No. 5, the Council authorized $5 million in Funding Our Future monies for
vehicle replacements to avoid price increases due to anticipated tariffs. According to Fleet, the order was placed
near the end of FY25 and will be arriving in the coming months.
The majority of the $13 million was allocated to purchase vehicles that were ordered in 2025. There is a natural
lead time on most vehicles, and Fleet is currently within the normal scope of those lead times. There are about 7
vehicles that were ordered prior to 2025, but the delay in delivery is not due to supply chain issues. These are
fire engines that always have at least a few years in lead times due to the nature of the vehicle and the
customization required.
D-9: CIP Holding Account Release for Security Services (CIP Fund – One-time $414,753)
The Administration is requesting the transfer of $414,753.24 from the holding account to CIP to fund two City
Hall physical security improvement projects. These funds are part of the $586,867 allocated to the holding
account through FY2023 Budget Amendment #5.
The requested funding will support the following projects:
1. Washington Square Safety Enhancement Project – Cultural Landscape Report and
Implementation Design
Total: $380,000
• Cultural Landscape Report – $80,000
The Use and Conservancy Board provided Mayor Mendenhall a recommendation to perform a
Cultural Landscape Report, estimated to cost $80,000. The report will ensure that any proposed
security enhancements are context-sensitive and preserve the site's historic integrity.
• Project Implementation Design Phase – $300,000
The design plans will integrate vehicle ramming mitigation measures into Washington Square’s
aesthetic and culturally significant layout.
2. Wireless Door Release System
Total: $34,753.24
Several departments have requested wireless door release systems. The system will allow employees to
remotely unlock secured doors via a computer and/or phone application. The intent is to reduce face-to-
face interactions in unpredictable situations. The wireless door release system will increase employee
safety and reduce confrontational incidents.

D-10: Public Utilities Budget Carry Forward (Water Fund One-time $66,849,851, Sewer Fund
one-time $12,083,142, Storm Water Fund one-time $7,349,551, Street Lighting Fund one-time
$1,327,234)
The request also includes funding associated with the Department’s Bond Anticipation Notes (BANs), Series
2025B, for which the Council adopted a parameters resolution for during its Sept. 2 formal meeting. As a
reminder, the BANs are intended to finance the acquisition of property for the department’s future campus.
This housekeeping budget amendment for the Department of Public Utilities would carry forward funding for
items from the FY25 budget. These items include grant proceeds, capital purchases, and projects that were in
process during the prior fiscal year but were not completed by the end of FY25.
The request also includes funding associated with the department's Bond Anticipation Notes (BANs), Series
2025B, for which the Council adopted a parameters resolution during its Sept. 2 formal meeting. The BANs are
intended to finance the acquisition of property for the department's future campus.
Public Utilities indicated that the $50 million BANs and associated issuance costs will initially be fully accounted
for in the department's Water Fund, which explains the high total amount in the Water Fund. The department
intends to evaluate the allocation of these funds to determine the appropriate distribution across other funds.
Upon a clear definition of the allocation, Public Utilities will prepare the necessary budget changes in a future
budget amendment or in its FY27 budget.
D-11: Volunteers of America Contract. (General Fund One-time, -$301,500 and +$301,500 (net
$0)). Replacement funding for the City’s Volunteers of America (VOA) contract was inadvertently left out of the
FY26 budget deliberations when the City’s State Mitigation Grant funding was shifted to PD -related items for
FY26. The Housing Stability Division in CAN (the Community and Neighborhoods Department) used $100,500
of FY25 Funding Our Future funds to pay this contract for the first three months of FY26. The remainder of the
amount needed to keep this item budget-neutral, $301,500, is proposed to come from not-yet-contracted FY26
Funding Our Future funds from the Tenant Housing Assistance budget.
The VOA contract pays for street outreach and the salary of a Safety and Community Liaison for the Homeless
Resource Centers (HRCs). The Liaison conducts outreach to businesses and residents near the HRCs to address
concerns related to homelessness. In future years, CAN proposes splitting this item into two separate contracts,
one of $240,627 for VOA and the other of $60,873 for Shelter the Homeless. This would facilitate shifting the
Liaison position from VOA to Shelter the Homeless, which provides service s (like maintaining building systems
and security) that are more closely related to the core responsibilities of the Liaison. The Liaison’s coverage area
would grow to include a half-mile radius around the HRCs, the Youth Resource Center, the YWCA, the Wei gand
Homeless Resource Center, and St. Vincent de Paul. CAN further requests that in the future this function be paid
by the General Fund.
➢ Council Policy Question. Does the Council agree with the Administration’s proposal to shift
$301,500 from the Tenant Housing Assistance budget to cover the FY26 VOA contract?
D-12: Refuse Fund Budget Carry Forward (Refuse Fund One-time $9,350,559)
The Sustainability Department is requesting $9,350,559 for the Refuse Fund annual encumbrance balance carry
forward budget. Budget is required to pay the outstanding financial obligations that have been obligated and
carried forward from FY25 to FY26.
The majority of this amount (approximately $8.9 million) is for fleet vehicles for the Waste & Recycling Division.
Broken out by division, $9,142,905 is for Sustainability’s Waste & Recycling Division and $207,654 for the
Environment & Energy Division.
Page | 9
D-13: CIP Housekeeping (CIP Fund – One-time $678,600 and $3,900,000)
FY2025 Parks Impact Fees – Revenue and Expenditure Adjustment
In the FY2025 Adopted Budget, Parks Impact Fee revenue was under reported by $678,600. While s ufficient
impact fees existed, the funds were not recognized as a revenue or expenditure in the Council Key Changes
approved in June 2024; however, the funds were allocated in the August 2024 approval. This Budget
Amendment increases the revenue by that amount to reflect the correct total. These funds have already been
allocated to the Fairmont Park basketball court project. This amendment formally recognizes both the revenue
and associated expenditure in the budget.
FY25 Budget Amendment 3, Item A-4 – Fleet Block Property Sale: Infrastructure Development
Condition
Two corrections are needed for how funds from the Fleet Block property sale were budgeted in FY2025:
1. The funds should have been transferred from the CIP Surplus Land Fund (Fund 3039) to the CIP
General Fund (Fund 3000).
2. The expenditure was incorrectly treated as a project rescope rather than a new appropriation from the
Surplus Land Fund Balance.
This Budget Amendment corrects both issues by transferring the funds appropriately and establishing the
correct expenditure amount of $3,900,000 within Fund 3000.
Section E: Grants Requiring No New Staff Resources
E-1: Green Bike Expansion (Misc Grants – One-time $608,290)
UDOT has awarded the City $608,290 in federal funding to support the expansion of the Green Bike Program.
The City is required to provide a local match of $44,172. This funding will support the addition of approximately
nine new Green Bike stations, which will include bicycles.
The UDOT funds are currently held in the Miscellaneous Grants Fund and must be transferred to CIP for
expenditure.
E-2: Increased HUD HOME-ARP Award. (Misc Grants – One-time $5,284)
CAN was notified recently of an error in HUD’s calculation of 2023 and 2024 HOME -ARP awards. The City did
not include funding contingencies in the HOME-ARP awards at the time because no change was anticipated in
the amount. The Department proposes allocating this additional $5,284 to the Asian Association of Utah, which
received the highest score in this category in the category of Tenant-Based Rental Assistance.
E-3. Increased HUD HOPWA Award. (Misc Grants – One-time $26,832)
CAN was notified recently that Salt Lake City’s FY26 HOPWA award is $26,832 over what was projected earlier.
Per the contingencies approved in the Department’s estimated award amount, the Division of Housing Stability
will receive an additional $804 for administration of these funds. Then, since the two HOPWA funding
recipients both received more than their requested amounts for FY26, the Division proposes the remaining
$26,028 be allocated to the highest-scoring of the two awardees, Utah Community Action. The organization has
confirmed that the additional funds will allow them to serve approximately five more households with short -
term rent or mortgage assistance, utility assistance, and/or supportive services.

maintaining quality programming, and an emphasis on student, community and organization engagements. A public
hearing was held May 20, 2025.
G-7: Salt Lake County YAGI Grant (Misc Grants – One-time $33,900)

Attachment 1: New Ongoing Costs to the General Fund
Council staff has provided the following list of potential new ongoing costs to the General Fund. Many of these
are new FTE’s approved during this fiscal year’s budget amendments, noting that each new FTE increases the
City’s annual budget costs if positions are added to the staffing document. Note that some items in the table
below are partially or fully funded by grants. If a grant continues to be awarded to the City in future years, then
there may not be a cost to the General Fund but grant funding is not guaranteed year -over-year.
