FYI - February 26, 2013 Council Meeting
The Formal Council Meeting for Tuesday, February 26, 2013 will begin at 5:00 p.m. instead of 7:00 p.m. to allow for public comment regarding the Utah Performing Arts Center prior to Council Members leaving to attend the Legislative Night Celebrating the Sundance Institute. Cindy Gust-Jenson said she wanted to confirm that 5:00 p.m. would be the public hearing on UPAC and meeting prior to that as determined by the Chair and Vice Chair in terms of how much would be on the agenda. Councilmember Penfold said there would be an RDA component to that meeting as well so that would have to be coordinated with the chairs.
FYI - Sugar House Streetcar Extension Alternatives and the Circulation and Streetscape Amenities Plan
The Chair and Vice Chair discussed holding a Public Hearing for this item on Tuesday, March 19, 2013. This allows time for the hearing to be noticed to individuals and groups who have expressed interest, a mailing sent to surrounding property owners, notice given to South Salt Lake, and an Open City Hall posting prepared. Councilmember Garrott asked if this was extension 2B and if the question was whether to take it to Sugar House Monument Plaza or somewhere else. Councilmember LaMalfa said it was the locally preferred alternative whether to go north up 1100 East or east up 2100 South or something else. Council Members wanted noticing to go up to 1700 East. Councilmember Luke asked about March 19th for a public hearing. He said maybe the Council should wait until April for the public hearing. Council Members were in favor of waiting until April.
Councilmember Luke said he received a call from Equality Utah regarding their statewide non discrimination ordinance legislation being pushed at the Capital. He said they were trying to put together a list of the different municipalities that have already started a non discrimination ordinance. He said they wanted to use Salt Lake City’s logo and the Council’s support of that state legislation. Council Members were in favor of letting them use the logo. Ms. Gust-Jenson said they would coordinate with the Administration.
