Citizen Public Input (1:21:13 PM)

Mr. George Chapman spoke under “Citizen Public Input” stating Mayor Ralph Becker, Salt Lake City, is trying to push through a grant application for the Sugarhouse Streetcar extension. This is a questionable project and very divisive. Before the Council decides to support the application, he asked that it hold a public hearing and a formal vote on the request. Businesses in the area of the proposed streetcar extension will be destroyed if additional construction takes place.

Also, the County is being pressured by several municipalities in the County to put a sales tax increase on the ballot this year. He is in favor of the increase, but feels it will not pass if it is placed on the ballot this year. Mayor Becker is up for reelection, and the street car extension along with the three new light rail lines he is proposing will become part of the tax increase, so residents will not vote for it. He requested the Council wait an additional year before putting the tax increase on the ballot.

Council Member Bradley stated the Council has not decided if it will support the streetcar extension.

Mr. Chapman stated the County is listed as one of the primary backers for the application. Salt Lake City is stating the County has already appropriated $6.5 million to fund the Parley’s Trail, which is part of the application for the streetcar extension.

Mayor Ben McAdams stated he wrote a letter supporting the city’s application for a federal grant. A local match is required as part of that grant application. Most of the local match would come from Salt Lake City, although the County has already appropriated $3.5 million from the transportation bond to Salt Lake City. Also, the County is planning on spending money on the PRATT Trail, which is adjacent to the proposed streetcar extension, which counts towards the match.

Ordinance – Notification of Illicit Discharge into the County Storm Sewer System

The Council reviewed an ordinance relating to the notification requirements for an illicit discharge into the County storm sewer system. The ordinance has been placed on the 4:00 p.m. Council meeting for introduction. (Final adoption of the ordinance will be considered at the Tuesday, June 9, 2015, Council meeting.)

Mr. Dan Drumiler, Engineering and Flood Control Division, stated this proposal would amend the County ordinance relating to its Storm Sewer System by removing the three-day notification requirement. There are sufficient notification requirements already in the ordinance.

Council Member Bradshaw, seconded by Council Member Jensen, moved to approve the amendment and forward the ordinance to the 4:00 p.m. Council meeting for formal introduction. The motion passed unanimously.

Pay for Success Initiatives – Update

During the January 13, 2015, Committee of the Whole meeting, the Council voted to approve three pay for success subject areas (Maternal and Child Health, Homelessness, and Criminal Justice), and instructed the Mayor’s Office to continue moving forward on these.

Ms. Fraser Nelson, Director, Data and Innovation, Mayor’s Office, delivered a PowerPoint presentation updating the Council on the pay-for-success initiative. She reviewed the need, the goal, and potential outcomes/management for each area. Each area is driven by data and outcomes. The Mayor’s Office is not telling the non-profit organizations and the providers what they should do, just the outcomes that need to be achieved. She stated the procurement for criminal justice and child and maternal health has been released with five responses for the criminal justice and four responses for maternal health. The procurement for homelessness will be released in July.

The County won a $250,000 grant from a nonprofit finance fund, which will be used to leverage County funds in raising nearly $1 million in private support for project development. During the months of July through October, a final service provider will be selected. Then November 2015

Committee of the WholeTuesday, June 2, 2015

through February 2016, project fundraising and legal contracting will be done. The projects should be ready to launch in early 2016. By using pay-for-success on a contracting basis, the County is directing taxpayers’ resources towards what actually works, not to what might work. It is making an impact on very critical social issues relating to a reduction in child abuse and neglect, homelessness, and recidivism.

Justice Reform Initiative – Update

Ms. Nichole Dunn, Deputy Mayor, stated during the past legislative session, H.B. 348 (Criminal Justice Reform) was passed, which allocated $14 million in state funds to be divided up among the counties in Utah based on need and population. The purpose of the update today is to present the recommendation on how these funds will be utilized in Salt Lake County. This is a collaborative recommendation from the Sheriff’s Office, District Attorney’s Office, Human Services Department, Criminal Justice Services Division, Behavioral Health Services Division, and the Salt Lake Legal Defender’s Association. The recommendation centers on four major areas including: screening and assessment, treatment, case management, and probation focusing on the severely mentally ill and substance abuse disorder populations.

Mr. David Litvack, Director, Criminal Justice Services Division, delivered a PowerPoint presentation on the Justice Reinvestment Initiative (JRI). He outlined what the JRI is, the County funding source, and the proposed implementation plan. He stated the proposal is to use the funds in the following way:

- $750,000 to fund the CORE II for women- $339,000 towards prosecutorial pre-diversion pilot- $339,000 towards the intensive supervision pilot - $500,000 towards risk and need screening at the jail- $800,000 towards the intensive supervision pilot

This proposal would go hand-in-hand with the pay-for-success initiative. The PowerPoint presentation then covered each of the four proposed projects outlining the goals for each area.

Council Member Newton stated she is excited about this direction. It is a great way to fix the problems within the jail.

Council Member Wilson stated she is concerned about the funding; there is never enough. She asked if the County was going to limit the number of people who use this funding.

Mr. Litvack stated the numbers will be limited on the treatment side. However, the County already has the population that requires intensive supervision, which population can be reduced through this program.

Council Member Bradshaw stated this is a priority for him. This legislation gave the County the tool it needed; now the County needs to do all it can to fully implement it.

Committee of the WholeTuesday, June 2, 2015

Ms. Dunn stated that is why specific areas were chosen. The larger dollar amounts will go to those areas. The Mayor’s Office did not feel it would accomplish as much by sprinkling a little bit of money all over the place.

Council Member Burdick stated this is a good plan. It is important to do it, do it right, and have the right partners and resources. He asked if the Legal Defenders (LDA) and private defenders were on board with this, and if this would provide enough funding to get the risk assessment done in the right way.

Mr. Litvack stated the LDA is concerned with sharing information pre-jurisdictional. The Criminal Justice Division is working closely with the LDA to cover any constitutional concerns. He believes this funding will go a long way in getting the risk assessment up and working. It will also need continued funding support from the Council and other agencies to ensure its success.

♦♦♦ ♦♦♦ ♦♦♦ ♦♦♦ ♦♦♦ Community Preservation ~ External Communications Subcommittee

Ms. Kimberly Barnett, Associate Deputy Mayor, stated the overarching goal of the External Communications Subcommittee is to work side by side with community leaders to provide accurate, neutral information to the community to help them make an informed decision this November. The Clerk sent over 50,000 notices informing people of the boundary meeting tomorrow night, and the Mayor’s Office handed out hundreds of postcards. There is now a hotline number on which the County has already received dozens of phone calls and emails. A community preservation website is also up, and received 516 hits last week. The website is a living communication tool that will constantly be updated. Currently, a lot of information is on there that was vetted and approved by the External Communications Subcommittee. Next week or so, the website will also have a toolbox of approved information, tailored for each community and formatted for printing. Community councils and citizens will be able to use it to inform themselves and their communities about the November ballot. In addition, there will be a snapshot of the different ballot questions and what they mean, and a frequently-asked-questions page.

The County has selected an external communications consultant, Amplify Relations, out of Reno, Nevada, to assist it on direct mail pieces and town hall meetings. The subcommittee will soon finalize dates for those. It is also hoping to issue an RFP for a fiscal consultant.

Ms. Jana Helsten, President, Association of Community Councils Together (ACCT), submitted and read the following letter:

I come to you as ACCT President to voice some issues concerning the External Communications Committee for the Community Presentation. Many members of ACCT have been involved with Community Preservation since the beginning. At our ACCT meeting on April 9, 2015 Associate Deputy Mayor Kimberly Barnett came and asked if members of ACCT, or other citizens would like to volunteer to help develop the citizen education material and the method to deliver it. It was understood that those volunteering would try to be at every meeting.

Committee of the WholeTuesday, June 2, 2015

The Communications Committee met on April 13 with most members in attendance. We came to the table with the understanding that it was important to have many points of view and all should be considered. After this meeting there was much email communication between the Chair, Hugh Matheson and Roger Dudley with the Chair asking them about their thoughts, with the rest of us copied in. The committee met again on April 28th. Some information was presented by another member of the committee and it was not given much thought, basically ignored. The committee did not meet again until May 19th. As citizen volunteers, we schedule our time to be at these meetings as often as needed and sometimes we feel our time is taken for granted.

On May 19th, ACCT presented to the committee some fair, factual and unbiased educational material unanimously adopted at the regularly scheduled May 14th ACCT meeting with all Councils attending (except Canyon Rim CC) to have the committee review, so that we could then take that information back to our communities and start educating them. ACCTS’s information was treated like unwelcome news. Many of the ACCT reps and Council Chairs are getting asked questions about what is going to happen and they don’t have answers yet because, we were told everything has to be developed by the External Communications Committee for the County presentation website and taken by ACCT and the councils from the county preservation website which is still, after a month and a half-a work in progress.

The Council Chairs need information now so that they can educate their own councils. The Councils wanted their information to go to their communities with the okay from legal that it was unbiased and usable. If the Councils are only able to cut and paste what is put out by the County, some people in the communities are going to say, “What is the County, shoving down our throats now”? We presented the information we had in the format we did so that it could easily be transferred to a Power Point presentation. ACCT thought the ACCT document would be easy to quickly review and make suggestions, which would have been welcome. Instead, ACCT was directed to meet with Kara Trevino.

We sat down with her and various members of the County on the following Friday, May 23rd to clean up the exact educational documents that we presented to the External Communications Committee just days earlier. It was a very productive meeting with everyone contributing further to the development of the website using part of the ACCT document. However, ACCT still does not have approval to use the amended documents because the website is still in draft form. Please outline a definitive process that is less cumbersome than having to vet every word by the External Education Committee and its website. Time, to us, if of the essence, especially with Summer about to hit. We want to work with the County on this but some Councils are getting anxious and are willing to forgo any funding from the County to educate not only their Councils but their residents. We would like to get this expedited so that we can begin educating. If we wait too long there could be some very serious unintended consequences. ACCT is very committed to making sure that the education is as accurate as possible, but at the same time we cannot do our job if we are constantly running into road blocks. Thank you.

Committee of the WholeTuesday, June 2, 2015

Sincerely,

By: /s/ Jana Helsten President Association of Community Councils Together, (ACCT)

As ACCT President, she was given information by the community councils to take to the External Communications Subcommittee, which she did, but they are expecting that back with any changes. She has not received that back yet. Some community council members have no clue what this is all about, so they need the document so they can accurately educate their residents.

Mr. Ron Faerber, Secretary, Association of Community Councils Together (ACCT), stated the process is starting to work, but has not for several weeks. Committee members were getting bogged down in little arguments, and accomplishing nothing. ACCT representatives believe deference has been given to particular groups or individuals, and that their ideas have been rejected. ACCT is trying to be fair and equitable to both sides, and unbiased, but has met with roadblocks. ACCT representatives did meet earlier with Council Member Newton, Kara Trevino, Legislative Specialist, Council Office, and Bart Barker, Senior Policy Advisor, Council Office, and got more done in three hours than the committee accomplished in six weeks. ACCT needs to get that information out to its community as soon as possible. Time is running out.

Council Member Newton stated the information ACCT approved had some factual errors in it. The External Communications Subcommittee now has snapshot charts and a comparison chart, and is making good progress. However, it is a frustrating process, as there are a lot of people on the subcommittee, and they all see things from a different perspective.

Ms. Helsten stated the community council chairs want the document they submitted in the same format, but with the changes; not what is on the website.

Mr. Faerber stated the way ACCT’s governance is, ACCT has to take what its community councils give it to the subcommittee, and return it with any changes for their approval.

Council Member Wilson stated she thought the process of the External Communications Subcommittee was the best way to work through the bugs. Community preservation is a groundbreaking initiative and needs this building block type of process. The subcommittee was held up early on because legal things had to be addressed. ACCT’s initial document had a conflicting word, which then led to a review of it. The employees involved on the subcommittee also have other priorities so they needed time to work through this, but they are getting close to being done.

Mr. Faerber stated an employee from the County sent an email to all ACCT representatives and community council chairs that said ACCT endorsed the materials presented by an External Communications Subcommittee member, when, in fact, it had not. Some of the County’s charts are more biased towards a city option and opting out of the district, whereas ACCT’s chart was fair to both sides. ACCT brought that up at the meetings, but was ignored. ACCT needs to get unbiased information out to its community councils, so the public can make an educated vote.

Committee of the WholeTuesday, June 2, 2015

Council Member Burdick asked what ACCT wanted the Council to do today.

Mr. Faerber asked that the District Attorney’s Office review ACCT’s document, and if it is factually right, let ACCT take it to its community councils to go ahead and use.

Ms. Helsten stated she would like to be able to take that to a community council meeting tonight.

Council Member Jensen stated this is the single biggest issue from a governance standpoint he can remember, and he has lived in unincorporated his entire life. The County has one chance to do it right. Unincorporated residents have fought to get to this point, so it concerned him when this many people, who have taken time off their work schedules, are frustrated. That means there is a breakdown in communication. The final decision affects these people directly, and it should not be a one-sided decision.

Council Member Burdick stated he would like to ask the District Attorney’s Office to meet with ACCT now and give it something it can take to its community council meeting tonight. Then, from now on to schedule this discussion on the Committee of the Whole meeting every first and third Tuesday of the month to make sure things are moving along.

Council Member Wilson stated a lot of what was addressed at the subcommittee meetings could have been addressed in the main committee meeting that Council Members Burdick, Granato, and Jensen sit on, such as legal issues regarding the wording on the website, and the interpretation of the legislation and the history; then moved over. The committee had to chase down the right person to get some things answered, which took time. Perhaps that could be done at the next meeting if this continues to be a challenge. She agreed everyone needed to feel this was moving forward in a productive way because they all share the same goals, and suggested regrouping, and having a legal team there to discuss any remaining legal issues. Then, the subcommittee can move onto the management piece, and lastly, the communications piece.

Council Member Newton stated the External Communications Subcommittee and the Mayor’s Office have asked that everyone on the committee have their changes in by 9:00 p.m. tonight. She wanted ACCT’s feedback on the snapshot chart and comparison chart as soon as possible, as well as the verbiage that was approved today. A lot of the comparison chart was taken from ACCT’s chart, and reviewed by Ms. Trevino and Mr. Gavin Anderson, Deputy District Attorney, to make sure everything was factually correct.

Ms. Helsten stated ACCT’s document does not really relate to what was discussed today at the External Communications subcommittee meeting, which was more to do with the information for the website.

Council Member Burdick, seconded by Council Member DeBry, moved to ask the District Attorney’s Office to review the information, and that it be presented to ACCT by 5:00 p.m. today; and that the External Communications Subcommittee updates be scheduled on every first and third Tuesdays on the Committee of the Whole agenda to make sure things are moving along. Council Member Jensen amended the motion to add that Kara Trevino also approve the information.

Committee of the WholeTuesday, June 2, 2015

Council Member Newton stated one reason for having the External Communications Subcommittee is to vet through everything. Doing it this way completely bypasses the purpose of the subcommittee. There are people on the subcommittee who are pro incorporation and people who are pro metro townships. If the Council approves this request, in fairness, it should give the pro incorporation people the same thing.

Council Member Burdick stated his motion did not take away from anything already in place; it is just to give ACCT what it needs for its meeting tonight once it is approved by the District Attorney’s Office.

Council Member Newton stated she worried it was setting a precedent that if someone wants their stuff approved, they just have to go to Ms. Trevino and Mr. Anderson. By doing this, the Council should probably let every group do it.

Ms. Helsten stated the information ACCT brought in is unbiased enough and fair enough to be a foundation for everybody across the board. Then, the different communities can pull from the toolbox to personalize it.

Mr. Ralph Chamness, Deputy District Attorney, stated this is an incredibly complex piece of information, and without having seen the information, he thought 5:00 p.m. may be too tight of a timeframe. He asked if the Council would put a caveat in the motion that depending on what the information is, the District Attorney’s Office may not be able to get it done by 5:00 p.m., but that it will not be for lack of trying.

Council Member Burdick amended the motion to ask the District Attorney’s Office to review the information, and do its best to present it to ACCT by 5:00 p.m. today.

Ms. Nichole Dunn, Deputy Mayor, stated she has conferred with Ms. Trevino and Michelle Schmitt, Deputy Communications Director, and they believe they can get ACCT what it wants. She suggested they meet with Ms. Helsten and Mr. Faerber after the Committee of the Whole meeting.

Council Member Burdick, seconded by Council Member DeBry, moved to ask the District Attorney’s Office to review the information, and that it be presented to ACCT by 5:00 p.m. today; and that the External Communications Subcommittee updates be scheduled on every first and third Tuesdays on the Committee of the Whole agenda to make sure things are moving along. Council Member Jensen amended the motion to add that Kara Trevino also approve the information. Council Member Burdick amended the motion to ask the District Attorney’s Office to review the information, and do its best to present it to ACCT by 5:00 p.m. today. The motion passed unanimously.

Dissolution of Community Access Through Technology Labs and Proposal for Reallocation of Funding and FTE’s

Ms. Lori Bays, Director, Human Services Department, delivered a PowerPoint presentation regarding the dissolution of the Community Access to Technology (CAT) Labs program. She stated a comprehensive analysis was done on this program to look at the community need for this service and the return on the County’s investment. The labs were

8

Committee of the WholeTuesday, June 2, 2015

created to bridge the digital divide and provide internet access and fundamental computer literacy to the underserved populations in Salt Lake County. Currently, the CAT Labs provide service to a limited number of people. Average class attendance in 2014 was 3.31 students with the CAT Labs being used only 23.95 percent of the time. She recommended the program end on June 30, 2015, and to reallocate the current funding and FTEs to the new Midvale Senior Center. The remainder of the funds would be used to hire a Department Management Analyst to perform return on investment analyse and review data driven decision making.

Library Reorganization of Technical Services and Construction Project Coordinator Reclassification (3:37:25 PM)

Mr. Jim Cooper, Director, Library Services Division, delivered a PowerPoint presentation regarding the reorganization of the Library Services Division. He reviewed the changes that have occurred in the world since 2005 relating to the Library and the increase in services since that time. To meet the changing demands and service goals all vacant positions are being evaluated and reorganized. The proposal is to reorganize some of the functions within the technical services and transition from clerical to professional/para-professional positions. The goal is to place an emphasis on early learning, community engagement, outreach activities, and to increase the accountability of capital and maintenance projects resulting from professional project management. The proposed reorganization consists of 13 positions representing 10.25 FTEs, all but two are currently vacant. This reorganization will result in no change in the number of FTE allocations, but will result in an annualized increase in the cost to personnel of $141,571.

Council Central Staff Job Descriptions (3:27:18 PM)

Council Member Wilson reviewed the Council Secretary and Council Administrative Coordinator job descriptions. The Council Secretary job description is to reflect what is actually done. Added to this job description is that the Office of the Council Chair will be responsible for the management and supervision of this position. The Secretary job description does not need to go to the Career Service Council, but Jason Rose, Legal Counsel, Council Office, and Bart Barker, Senior Policy Advisor, Council Office, would like to move it to the Human Resources Division to make sure it is official, and clears up any multiple job descriptions.

The Administrative Coordinator position is the same as has been discussed, but with the addition that the Office of the Council Chair is responsible for the management and supervision of this position. The job description takes into account the key role of managing the front desk duties, and will have other duties, which will be more tightly defined once the Council has applicants.

Council Member Bradshaw, seconded by Council Member Granato, moved to approve the job descriptions and forward them to the 4:00 p.m. Council meeting for formal consideration.

Committee of the WholeTuesday, June 2, 2015

Council Member Debry asked to bifurcate a vote on the two positions, since he has never wanted the Council Administrative Coordinator position to begin with. The job description is fine, but he was going to vote no for consistency.

Council Member Bradshaw, seconded by Council Member Granato, moved to approve the Council Administrative Coordinator job description and forward it to the 4:00 p.m. Council meeting for formal consideration. The motion passed 6 to 3 with Council Members DeBry, Newton, and Snelgrove voting in opposition.

Council Member Bradshaw, seconded by Council Member Granato, moved to approve the Council Secretary job description and forward it to the 4:00 p.m. Council meeting for formal consideration. The motion passed unanimously.

Review of Planning and Zoning Applications (3:44:06 PM)

Mr. Jason Rose, Legal Counsel, Council Office, reviewed the following planning and zoning applications, for which a public hearing will be set for June 30, 2015:

Application #29237 – Scott Gailey to remove the zoning condition from 7.73 acres of property located at 2802 South 7200 West.

Currently, the zoning just allows two-family dwellings (duplexes). The zone change is not controversial; and there were no protests. The Magna Town Council, Magna Community Council, Magna Township Planning Commission, and Planning and Development Services Division’s staff all gave a favorable recommendation.

− − − − − − − − − − − − − −

Application #29241 – Jose Rodriguez to reclassify 0.5 acres of property located at 2660 South 7200 West from a C-2 to a C-3 zone.

The Magna Town Council, Magna Community Council, Magna Township Planning Commission, and Planning and Development Services Division’s staff gave positive recommendations. Initially, there was concern due to a large school in the area, but it sounds like there is some mitigation.

− − − − − − − − − − − − − −

Application #29328 – John Kruger to reclassify property located at 3671 South 2300 East from an R-1-10 and R-2-10 to a R-2-8 zone.

There are two zone designations within this parcel – R-1-10 and R-2-10. The applicant wants to rezone the whole thing to an R-2-8 zone. The Millcreek Community Council and Millcreek Township Planning Commission gave a favorable recommendation. The Planning and Development Services Division’s staff approved of it, but with some reservations. They thought this may be too intense for the area.

Council Member Bradshaw asked how this parcel had two zone designations.

Mr. Rose stated the back end is R-2-10. He speculated that lot had been purchased separately.

11

Committee of the WholeTuesday, June 2, 2015

Council Member DeBry asked what the staff’s reservations were.

Mr. Rose stated he did not know their exact concerns, but that the zoning condition was not completely consistent with the General Plan. However, they thought some of those concerns could be mitigated.

− − − − − − − − − − − − −

Application #29385 – This rezone is for the Millcreek Meadowbrook Small Area Plan, but he did not have a summary for it this week. It will be set next week instead of this week.

Appointments to the ZAP Recreation Advisory Board (2:33:03 PM)

The Council reviewed the appointments to the ZAP Recreation Advisory Board to consist of four Mayors, five community members, four additional at-large members, two members from the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board, and one member from the Open Space Advisory Board, as per County ordinance. The Council can also add additional members.

Council Member Jensen, seconded by Council Member DeBry, moved to appoint Mayors Carmen Freeman from Herriman City, Kim Rolfe from West Jordan City, Rob Dahle from Holladay City, and Troy Walker from Draper City, community members Eric Gardiner, Corey Rushton, H. Brett Helsten, Micah Bruner, and Aimee McConkie, additional at-large members Eliza McIntosh, Lisa Bagley, and Carter Livingston, Parks and Recreation Advisory Board members Mike Peterson and Mitzie Huff, and Open Space Advisory board member Chris McCandless to the ZAP Recreation Advisory Board, and to forward the appointments to the 4:00 p.m. Council meeting for formal consideration.

Council Member Jensen stated the reason these people were selected was to get some geographical diversity, and to make sure all the districts had representation. All of the applicants would have added value, so it had nothing to do with that.

Council Member Bradley stated he thought the Council should include Salt Lake City Mayor Ralph Becker because Salt Lake City is the flagship and largest city in the County, and also to keep the County’s relationship with the City open. Mayor Becker deserves to be part of the Advisory Board, and would make a productive member. It would be short-sighted not to include him.

Council Member Jensen stated he thought Mayor Becker would be productive and bring benefit to the board, but his schedule was of concern. The Council has the ability to add discretionary members. He suggested adding Mayor Becker as a discretionary at-large member, and still keep the four mayors listed, as that gets the four quadrants.

Council Member Bradley asked if Mayor Becker would be a voting member just like everyone else.

12

Committee of the WholeTuesday, June 2, 2015

Council Member Jensen stated yes.

Council Member Burdick stated he talked with Mayor Becker about his schedule because he does have a lot going on, and Mayor Becker made a commitment that he would do his best to make it to the meetings, but could not promise he would be at every meeting.

Council Member Bradshaw stated without adding Mayor Becker, the selection is weighted to the south end of the valley.

Council Member Jensen, seconded by Council Member DeBry, moved to appoint Mayors Carmen Freeman from Herriman City, Kim Rolfe from West Jordan City, Rob Dahle from Holladay City, and Troy Walker from Draper City, community members Eric Gardiner, Corey Rushton, H. Brett Helsten, Micah Bruner, and Aimee McConkie, additional at-large members Eliza McIntosh, Lisa Bagley, and Carter Livingston, Parks and Recreation Advisory Board members Mike Peterson and Mitzie Huff, and Open Space Advisory board member Chris McCandless to the ZAP Recreation Advisory Board, and to forward the appointments to the 4:00 p.m. Council meeting for formal consideration. Council Member Burdick amended the motion to add Salt Lake City Mayor Ralph Becker as a discretionary member. Council Member Jensen accepted the amendment. The motion passed unanimously.

Ms. Nichole Dunn, Deputy Mayor, asked if the Council needed to add Martin Jensen, Director, Parks and Recreation, to the motion.

Council Member Jensen stated his position is listed in the ordinance, so he is automatically appointed, as are the positions of Erin Litvack, Director, Community Services Department, and Victoria Panella Bourns, Program Director, Zoo, Arts and Parks.

Resolutions

13

Committee of the WholeTuesday, June 2, 2015

The Council reviewed the following resolutions, which have been placed on the Council agenda for final approval and execution:

Easement Purchase Agreement, Perpetual Easement Agreement, And Temporary Construction Easement Agreement

1) Carolyn Barrett granting easements across property located at 3072 East Millcreek Canyon Road, Salt Lake City, to install, access, and maintain a 15-inch storm drain and other flood control structures for Mill Creek and the Mill Creek channel. In addition, Ms. Barrett will grant a temporary construction easement across other portions of the property to install the storm drain.

2) Don G. Giles and Debra E.
