DEPARTMENTAL BUSINESS
AIRPORT AUTHORITY
#1. RE: An ordinance amending various sections of Chapters 2, 3, 12, 14, 15, 16, and 19 of Title 2 of the Revised Ordinances of Salt Lake City, Utah, relating to aeronautics concerning fee modifications, cost formulas, and safety and security measures in the terminal and ramp areas.

CITY COUNCIL
#1. RE: An ordinance amending Section 19-2-19 of the Revised Ordinances of Salt Lake City, Utah, by amending the location limitation for licensing establishments with a Class “C” beer license, or a Class “B” private club license, by adding proximity to a residence of up to 100 feet as a consideration.
ACTION: Councilmember Mabey moved and Councilmember Fonnesbeck seconded to refer this matter to the City Attorney to prepare an ordinance, refer it to John Katter, licensing supervisor, for a recommendation, and refer it to Police Chief Bud Willoughby for a recommendation, which motion carried, all members present voting aye.
DISCUSSION: Councilmember Stoler supported the ordinance but expressed concern that if the ordinance became too restrictive it might encourage “bootlegging” Class “C” beer licenses or Class “B” private club licenses. He suggested that this ordinance be considered carefully so it would not be too limiting in the number of licenses available. Councilmember Hardwick brought up the point of how this ordinance would affect urban residential projects such as American Towers. Councilmember Mabey said this type of housing was not really being addressed, the ordinance was pertaining more to residential areas.
Councilmember Fonnesbeck said this was only the starting point and there would be time for lengthy discussion on this issue. Roger Cutler, city attorney, said more of a concern than a secondary market for licenses may be locations. He said this ordinance could make locations valuable which would drive up the price for leases and he said the Council needed to consider this. He also suggested that the ordinance be written in accordance to the zoning of an area rather than the proximity to residences since there were some non-conforming residences in commercial zones. Councilmember Mabey asked that Mr. Cutler submit his recommendations.

DISCUSSION: Mayor DePaulis thanked all those who were involved in this process. He said there were 73 Community Development proposals submitted totaling over $5 million dollars and said the City’s total allocation would be $3,861,000. He said the Community Development Advisory Committee (CDAC) reviewed all the proposals, interviewed the new applicants, and held a day-long workshop to formalize their recommendations.
He said an interdepartmental city team also evaluated all the proposals using specific criteria and ranked them by category: housing, streets, public service, etc., according to total scores. He said the staff recommendation took into consideration on-going projects, program benefits, citizen input, economic incentives, cost benefits, and city policies. He said he reviewed CDAC’s and the staff’s recommendations and made his recommendations.
He then highlighted his recommendations: 1. 7 housing proposals totaling $1,212,500, 33% of the total allocation. 2. 8 street, sidewalk, and storm drain projects totaling $1,275,000, 33% of the budget. 3. 9 public service projects like the Westside Food Pantry, HORP, Men’s Shelter totaling $531,700. 4. 5 parks projects totaling $285,000, 7% of the budget. He said this was down and he was following what he perceived to be the Council’s concerns about funding new parks projects. 5. 2 urban amenity projects, ASSIST and Building Preservation Advisory Service, totaling $12,500, or 1%. 6. 3 planning projects (State Street Landscape, East Downtown Master Plan and environmental assessments) totaling $41,700, or 1%. 7. 1 public building project (Art Barn) totaling $30,000, 1%. 8. The Percent for the Arts totaling $1,900.
He said the remaining money was administration and contingency. He said they were anticipating that Congress would introduce a 33% reduction for next year and said this was consistent with what they had been seeing: the gradual phase out of CDBG monies.
