RESOLUTION NO. 22 OF 2017
A Resolution Authorizing the Lease Rate and Term for the
Rose Park Community Center Located at 800 West and 800 North
WHEREAS, the Good Samaritan Foundation advances the goals of the City to assist refugees who are trying to establish residency within the United States as well as in Salt Lake City. The primary beneficiaries will be families who are in the need of basic resources that will enable them to learn about and experience the City’s culture, its commerce as well as basic support for obtaining permanent, independent living within surrounding neighborhoods. The City is willing to provide the Good Samaritan Foundation with nonmonetary assistance in the form of a lease rate for City property in the amount of $12.00 per year for a term of 30 years, with two ten (10) year renewal options, so long as the conditions of the lease between the Good Samaritan Foundation and the City are met (the “Nonmonetary Assistance”); and
WHEREAS, Utah Code Section 10-8-2(1)(a)(v) allows public entities to provide nonmonetary assistance and waive fees to and for nonprofit entities after a public hearing; and
WHEREAS, though Utah Code Section 10-8-2 does not require a study for such nonmonetary assistance, in this case the Finance Department voluntarily performed an analysis of the nonmonetary assistance to the nonprofit corporation (the “Analysis”); and
WHEREAS, the City Council has, following the giving of not less than fourteen (14) days public notice, conducted a public hearing relating to the foregoing, in satisfaction of the requirements of Utah Code Section 10-8-2; and
WHEREAS, the Council has reviewed the Analysis, and has fully considered the conclusions set forth therein, and all comments made during the public hearing;
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of Salt Lake City, Utah, as follows:
1. The City Council hereby adopts the conclusions set forth in the Analysis, and hereby finds and determines that, for all the reasons set forth in the Analysis, the Nonmonetary Assistance is appropriate under these circumstances.
Passed by the City Council of Salt Lake City, Utah, this 5th day of September, 2017.
