BRIEFING SESSION
#1. Linda Hamilton, Executive Director of the City Council Office, briefed the City Council on the evening’s agenda. She noted in particular that in the resolution for item F-2, Special Improvement District No. 38-813, three of the five protesting streets had been eliminated from the district. All three of the streets were located in Council District No. 2. The other two streets, Fourth Avenue and Berkeley Street remained in the district despite resident protests. Ms. Hamilton pointed out that the Council might want to make clear which streets were to be eliminated when they made the motion.
#2. The City Council discussed budget recommendations with members of the Budget Committee of the Salt Lake Association of Community Councils. The committee members pointed out that during their meetings they received a considerable amount of information concerning the mechanized trash pickup program and the proposed garbage fee. They indicated that they felt the program and the fee were basically good and necessary programs, although they worried that the proposed $4.00 per month fee would not be sufficient to support an enterprise fund. They also discussed the recommendation that the City continue to bill for water, sewer, and possibly trash pickup bimonthly rather than the proposed change to monthly because the change would require an additional allocation of $250,000 for overhead costs.
The meeting adjourned at 5:55 p.m.

COMMENTS
#1. James Lehmann, 123 4th Avenue, talked about Special Improvement District 38-813 and said 5 of the 6 residents on 4th Avenue opposed including the street in the special improvement district because they didn’t feel it was worthwhile. He said the street was a dead end with little traffic and pedestrian use, the Street was safe and it was already paved. He didn’t think the improvements would be a good use of money. Another member of the audience, who did not give his name, concurred with Mr. Lehmann.
Phil Erickson, 116 4th Avenue, said he believed the curbs and gutters should go in because he thought curbs and gutters were basic to the urban lifestyle and would add to the larger community. He thought the curbs and gutters would add to the safety, Increase the well being of the neighborhood, and would improve the overall looks of the area. He asked to have input on the design in an effort to get improvements that would benefit everyone.
The meeting adjourned at 6:10 p.m.
