SALT LAKE COUNTY MAYOR

By /s/ BEN McADAMS

Ms. Barnett presented each recipient with a glass engraved award.

Council Member Snelgrove spoke under Report of Council Members and read the following statement:

I have always felt strongly about the need for openness and transparency regarding how the publics business is being conducted and how their money is being spent.

Last Tuesday I was troubled to read in the press that the Utah Transit Authoritys committee meetings will no longer be open to the public. That night I posted the article on Facebook, along with this comment:

Unbelievable! UTA wonders why they don't have the public confidence & then they pull a stunt like this. Part of the cure for UTA is more openness and transparency, not less. UTA wants public money but apparently doesn't want public scrutiny on how the public money is spent. The public has a right to know!

On Friday, UTAs chair wrote to stakeholders, attempting to explain the meeting closures, but the letter merely defended them. This lack of openness and transparency at UTA is unacceptable.

Salt Lake County voters have approved $150 million a year in sales taxes to fund UTA. Currently the Utah Tax Commission collects this sales tax revenue on behalf of Salt Lake County and it appears in our budget. But as a matter of convenience, the Tax Commission sends these funds directly to UTA.

In the days ahead I will propose to the County Council that this county tax money come directly to Salt Lake County. At that point we can consider the timing for its disbursement to UTA. My proposal will not be necessary if UTA simply opens all its committee meetings to the public.

This approach is a work in progress. He had discussions with the Utah State Auditor, who then had discussions with the Utah State Treasurer. He also spoke with the Councils legal counsel to see if this plan was on sound legal footing, and it is.

Council Member DeBry spoke under Report of Council Members making the following comments:

Couldnt help but notice the news last week on UTA.

Proposing to close their committee meetings to the public.

On the one hand, you have assurances from UTA in a letter to the Council that this move will improve performance and increase transparency and accountability

But then you have the Board Chairman tell the Salt Lake Tribune reporter asking why the meetings are now closed. Because you screw us up.

As Council Members, we all know there are reasons to close meetings: litigation, personnel, and real estate matters occasionally require steps to protect the taxpayer interest. But those closed meetings are last resorts. I think it is safe to say, as a general rule, if transparency screws you up, transparency isnt the problem. Whatever UTAs problems with the media, the public has a right to know what you are doing with their money. They should be welcome in those meetings.

The level of scrutiny on UTA is justifiable. Taxpayers in Salt Lake County were pretty clear in their vote against Prop 1 last year. Yes we want more transit service and better roads, but we dont trust UTA as stewards of our money.

That message should sting, and cause some re-evaluation at UTA. I would tell them frankly that theyre better off opening those meetings up.

Regardless, I still have a fiduciary responsibility here in Salt Lake County as a Councilman to make certain taxes levied by the County, be they for Salt Lake County, or for UTA, or anyone else, are appropriately spent.

We collect about $150 million in sales tax on behalf of UTA here in Salt Lake County. Those are taxpayer authorized.

With that in mind, I support my colleague Richard Snelgrove in finding ways to remind UTA of our shared duty to the public from whom we collect the taxes to run light rail, buses, trains, and other activities. That duty includes taking public input, and compliance with the Utah Open and Public Meetings Act.

Council Member Wilson stated she also has concerns about this issue. She is waiting to see what UTA decides to do in the next week or two. She also looks forward to discussing the proposal made by Council Member Snelgrove. The Council would like to see UTA have open meetings, dialogue with the community, and the re-establishment of public trust. Those have all been missing in recent years. UTA is in the process of selecting a new Chief Executive Officer. This new executive should be someone who knows transit, growth, and planning, but also someone who brings a record of public engagement. The Council has also discussed some legislative options regarding UTAs board and governance.

The Council reviewed a request to appoint Martha S. Stonebrook as a member of the (Peace Officers) Merit System Commission.

Council Member Bradshaw, seconded by Council Member Jensen, moved to ratify the vote taken in the Committee of the Whole meeting. [Council Member Bradley, seconded by Council Member Snelgrove, moved to approve the appointment and forward it to the 4:00 p.m. Council meeting for formal consideration. The motion passed unanimously.] The Council motion passed unanimously, showing that all Council Members present voted Aye.

The Council reviewed a request to establish an advisory committee to hold a public hearing for the purpose of re-naming the Countys Public Works building the Randy Horiuchi Public Works Building.

Council Member Bradshaw, seconded by Council Member Jensen, moved to ratify the vote taken in the Committee of the Whole meeting. [Council Member Wilson, seconded by Council Member Granato, moved to create the five-member committee, go forward with signage, initiate the process to have the committee come back to the Council with recommendations, and hold a public hearing, and to forward the matter to the 4:00 p.m. Council meeting for formal consideration.

SALT LAKE COUNTY COUNCIL

ATTEST (SEAL)

By /s/ AIMEE WINDER NEWTON

Vice-Chair

By /s/ SHERRIE SWENSEN

County Clerk

The motion passed unanimously, authorizing the Vice-Chair to sign the ordinance, and directing the County Clerk to attest her signature and publish it in a newspaper of general circulation, showing that all Council Members present voted Aye.

Mr. Max Johnson, Planning & Development Services Division, reviewed the following amendment to the Salt Lake County Zoning Ordinance: (4:22:54 PM)

Application #29748 Salt Lake County to amend Chapter 19.78 of the Salt Lake County Zoning Ordinance regarding Planned Unit Developments (PUD).

Mr. Johnson stated this proposal amends the Planned Unit Development (PUD) chapter of the Salt Lake County zoning ordinance. PUDs are a unique, individualized community. Over the past few years there has been increasing challenges with the existing planning ordinance, mostly associated with compatibility between PUDs and existing single family residential neighborhoods.

Concerns were prevalent in the Millcreek area where the RM zoning allowed for 75-foot heights and very extensive density allowances. Developers would assume they would be allowed to have the high density, but that would create a lot of combative situations that the planning commissions would try to iron out.

Over the past year the County has tried to address this issue with extensive community engagement. Nearly all the community councils, all of the planning commissions, and County staff all favor this amended ordinance. There continue to be a few issues with density and density bonuses as they apply to urban versus mountainous areas.

Mr. Zachary Shaw, Deputy District Attorney, stated in January 2017 each metro township will adopt the County ordinance as its own. At that time they could make changes as well. One option would be to adopt these density bonuses and let the mountainous areas change it in January. The Council could also chose not to adopt any density bonuses and then each of the urban communities could adopt the County ordinance with the density bonuses in January 2017. Either one would work.

Council Member Jensen asked if there was any way the ordinance could have different density requirements for different areas.

Mr. Shaw stated not right now. That was one of the main instigators of the metro township concept. Each area wanted itsown version of the ordinance, but until the metro townships go into effect in January 2017, this is a countywide ordinance that applies to everyone. State law requires that there be uniformity amongst regulations within zoning districts. There cannot be one PUD zone regulation that applies to Magna and another that applies to Millcreek.

Council Member Jensen, seconded by Council Member Granato, moved to approve the ordinance with staff recommendations and forward it to the May 24, 2016, Council meeting for formal consideration. The motion passed unanimously, showing that all Council Members present voted Aye. Council Member Bradley was absent for the vote.

Council Member Bradshaw noted that the Council should open a public hearing before approving the ordinance.
