AGENDA ITEMS
#1. Error! Hyperlink reference not valid. HOLD A FOLLOW-UP DISCUSSION ON THE MAYOR’S RECOMMENDED BUDGET RELATING TO THE CITY’S CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (CIP) FOR FISCAL YEAR 2014-2015. Capital improvements involve the construction, purchase, or renovation of buildings, parks, streets, or other physical structures. Generally, projects have a useful life of five or more years and cost $50,000 or more. View Attachments
Sean Murphy, Robin Hutcheson, Wilford Sommerkorn, Lynn Jarman, Alden Breinholt, and Rick Graham briefed the Council. Mr. Murphy said during the Council’s previous discussion, several projects were identified as requiring additional information and those details have been provided. He said the goal of this briefing was to discuss Administration’s funding recommendations and propose changes or different funding scenarios.
Councilmember Penfold discussed the Mayor’s recommendation for $350,000 to replace the existing Cemetery restrooms (#23) that were no longer usable on “N” Street. He said these were located close to the main Cemetery Office and not convenient for customer use. Discussion followed regarding the monthly $500 being spent for temporary facilities. The suggestion was offered to spend $300,000 on a Cemetery Master Plan instead of rebuilding these restrooms.
Staff was given direction to consider the restroom locations as part of a larger overall plan and to accommodate patrons or visitors versus employees and especially for the corner of “N” Street; and whether that would require more comprehensive funding.
The Council discussed the proposed phases for improvement, with Mr. Graham offering explanation. He said the idea of a master plan came up years ago and was broken into three components due to expense. He said the first phase was to design and update the antiquated irrigation infrastructure to save costs; the second phase was to consider buildings and other infrastructure as well as the financial future; the third component was to consider whether to stay in the cemetery business once there were no longer plots to sell.
The Council discussed the University to Downtown Bikeway (#29) and the Mayor’s recommendation of $240,000. Councilmember Mendenhall suggested a funding partnership with the University and whether the Council should fund it conditionally. Inquiry was raised as to how this tied into the current project on 3rd South, with Ms. Hutcheson stating downtown cycle track funding was stretched last year and made it to 6th East; the remainder of what had been proposed went from 6th East to University Street. She said the investment was significantly less, and the project was able to include items that were requested by business owners as well as include public art.
Ms. Hutcheson addressed the desire to maintain the philosophy of separation between traffic and bicycle traffic. Discussion followed regarding ongoing outreach with local businesses, with Ms. Hutcheson outlining the multiple steps involved including: focus groups; outreach; bicycle master plan update; series of public open houses for comments; door to door outreach; and workshops with a national expert to discuss other community benefits and challenges. She said partnerships to address mutual goals for improving transportation would not be a first, as the University did participate on the traffic signal for Wakara Way and Arapeen Drive.
Discussion followed regarding Sidewalk & ADA improvements (#31). Inquiry was made as to the criteria utilized on the map outlining the citywide ramp and block locations. Mr. Jarman said the Federal Government established the priorities relative to location and then high pedestrian flow areas. He said the priority list changes due to calls that come in, and the map includes multiple overlays such as school walking groups, shopping areas, etc. He said Staff had to determine a method to assign value, but that could be changed. Discussion followed regarding the Liberty Wells area, consisting of 85 sections of broken walkways. Councilmember Adams said if the Council invited Community Council input, they should follow through with funding the request. She suggested Liberty Wells funding of $100,000 with the remaining four items eligible for CDBG citywide funding of $550,000.
The Council addressed the Parley’s Historic Nature Park Restoration (#36) and the Mayor’s recommendation of $300,000. The Council had requested additional information and Administration responded that the focus of spending would be on improving the two creek access areas, riparian restoration, including native planting and stream bank stabilization. Discussion followed regarding the current state of the park and its restoration, with Mr. Graham offering information.
The Council discussed Liberty Square Wedge Planter Replacement (#46) and the $1,159,304 requested with no recommendation from the Mayor. Mr. Breinholt said the Celebration of Life Organization would pay for part of the repairs. He provided an overview of the necessary structural and cosmetic repairs. Concern was expressed that it was difficult for the Council to break the project into phases without complete information.
Discussion followed regarding the 21st and 21st Street Enhancement $50,000 fund request (#45) from the 21st and 21st Business District. Councilmember Luke expressed concern as to the potential boundary amendment for the East Bench Master Plan area which would then include this area; and questioned Planning if current efforts would be duplicated if this were funded. Mr. Sommerkorn said Planning Staff had the capability to produce a small area master plan; however, there were different priorities and this was not even a consideration. He said if the boundaries were shifted; however, this would extend overall the East Bench Plan up to a year depending on the level of outreach efforts. Discussion followed regarding potential of duplicating efforts and possibility of hiring a consultant.
Error! Hyperlink reference not valid. The Council determined:
•Capital Asset Management (#1) would remain;
•Local Street Reconstruction (#16) to remain with prioritization;
•Traffic Signal Upgrades (#20) with the Mayor’s $360,000 would remain for the first two signals on the priority list: West Temple and 1700 South; and 500 East and 2700 South.
•Cemetery Restroom (#23) would remain with the Mayor’s recommended $350,000.
•University to Downtown Bikeway (#29):
A Straw Poll was conducted to conditionally approve funding upon 10% University of Utah match; this poll passed 6-1 with Councilmember Penfold voting “nay”.
A Straw Poll was conducted to approve $140,000 funding to be conditional upon the 10% University of Utah match; this poll passed 4-3, with Council Members Rogers, Garrott, Luke, and Adams voting “aye” and Council Members LaMalfa, Mendenhall, and Penfold voting “nay”.
•Sidewalk & ADA Improvements (#31):
A unanimous Straw Poll was conducted to recommend $100,000 Liberty Wells funding as opposed to the $424,000.
•Parley’s Historic Nature Park Restoration (#36):
A Straw Poll was conducted not to allocate $300,000 recommended funding until Staff returned with information as to funding already spent and phasing timeline; this poll passed 6-1 with Councilmember Penfold voting “nay”.
•21st & 21st Street Enhancement (#45):
Councilmember Luke suggested to not fund the $50,000 and to await completion of the East Bench Master Plan and potential boundary changes.
A unanimous Straw Poll was conducted to allocate $50,000 requested from the 21st and 21st Business District for this item; and for the Council to discuss the East Bench Plan potential boundary change and possible effects at a later date.
•Library Square Wedge Planter Replacement (#46):
There appeared to be consensus to approve $28,000 for the cosmetic fix and to have Administration return with a $1,100,000 tiered proposal for future repairs on the next CIP.
Error! Hyperlink reference not valid. The Council discussed additional projects. Councilmember Rogers discussed the Rose Park Panthers baseball team and item #41 relative to Riverside Park; he said he wanted to see $150,000 funded for those additional baseball fields.
Councilmember LaMalfa addressed branding efforts along the 9-line corridor and using $150,000 from CIP and matching $150,000 from the RDA. He said CIP was not an eligible funding source and he would recommend funding from an alternative account. He said funding would be sought in the first budget amendment.
Councilmember LaMalfa addressed an ADA upgrade at Poplar Grove Park. He said there was a significant area of improvements along 9-line trail and Jordan River Parkway that left area residents in a lurch by means of 50-foot width of weeds and unsightly public property. He suggested utilizing funding from the ADA playground to remedy this unfortunate situation and provide for improvements to the trailheads, maintenance, and making the area a more usable and aesthetic amenity.
A unanimous Straw Poll was conducted on making a significant investment to the 9-line by restoring the ADA playground funding to $150,000 back into Poplar Grove improvements and to include the remaining balance for the 9-line Implementation Plan.
Councilmember Mendenhall expressed concern on the $50,000 for deferred tree planting placement (#9) and said this hinged on the Urban Forestry Management Plan (#24). She said she wanted to allocate $300,000 to come up with a long-range comprehensive plan for the City. Mr. Gliot said previous practice had been removing more trees than planting. He said the Management Plan was the tool used to make long-term decisions versus reacting by planting when a tree was removed. He said Phase 1 consisted of 25,000+ inventoried street trees (just fewer than 3,000 available planting spots) for $100,000 or for 1/5 of inventory in the central-eastern portion of the City. He said the original $500,000 request would have enabled comprehensive, proactive, and actionable data on the vast majority of the trees.
Discussion followed regarding the price of a management consultant, with Mr. Gliot stating Data Resource Group was being paid $3.25 per inventory site/tree. He said some municipalities would re-inventory their trees every 10-15 years; and with this type of comprehensive data the City could develop a maintenance plan, realize cyclical pruning cycles, and have the trees updated when crews were in the area. The Council discussed all future Urban Forestry determinations being made based on this Plan and requested the actual remaining amount of funding necessary.
A 6-0 (Councilmember Garrott was not present for the poll) Straw Poll was conducted to allocate $300,000 for the Urban Forestry Management Plan (#24) and to encourage Staff to work within that amount instead of the Mayor’s recommended $500,000.
A 6-0 (Councilmember Garrott was not present for the poll) Straw Poll was conducted to allocate $100,000 for deferred replacement tree planting (#9)instead of the Mayor’s recommended $50,000.
A unanimous Straw Poll (Councilmember Garrott not present) was held regarding ADA Ramps (#14 & #31) and to stay with the Mayor’s recommendation.
A unanimous Straw Poll (Councilmember Garrott not present) was held to retain the Sunnyside ADA Park Playground (#37) and to stay within the Mayor’s recommendation of $150,000 and to retain the sand play area.
A unanimous Straw Poll (Councilmember Garrott not present) was held regarding Cemetery Master Plan (#52) for $300,000 requested and $250,000 recommended.
Discussion followed regarding the Fairmont Park Tennis Courts (#56) $225,000 requested, $0 recommended. Councilmember Adams said she wanted to see funding restored. Mr. Graham explained this proposal would suggest tennis court improvements at the Forest Dale golf course parking lot; he said that was not yet the determined as the site, but would entail two courts. Councilmember LaMalfa expressed concern that multiple tennis court facilities seem to be more successful and a better approach. Discussion followed regarding lack of land availability to put multiple courts.
A 4-3 Straw Poll was conducted to approve the $225,000 requested to provide for the Fairmont Park Tennis Courts; with Council Members Rogers, Penfold, Garrott, and Adams voting “aye”; Council Members Luke, Mendenhall, and LaMalfa voting “nay”.
Councilmember Garrott addressed Pioneer Park Improvements (#11) $500,000 requested; $200,000 recommendation. He said that was sufficient if leverage funds either privately or through grants, and inquired if Staff would need additional funding. Mr. Graham said that would allow implementation but on a very small scale, and ultimate need was $1,000,000. He discussed the grant request for $250,000 from the Pioneer Park Coalition as well as a federal grant between $250,000-$500,000. He said the competition was extreme, but would enable Phase 2.
A 5-1 Straw Poll was conducted to increase the funding leverage to $300,000 for Pioneer Park Improvements; with Council Members Rogers, Garrott, Adams, Luke, and Mendenhall voting “aye”; Councilmember LaMalfa voting “nay”; Councilmember Penfold not present for poll.
A unanimous Straw Poll was conducted for the Poplar Grove ADA Playground Improvements (#48) $300,000 requested; $150,000 recommended to remain as recommended.
A unanimous Straw Poll was conducted to allocate $75,000 to fix the baseball infield at Riverside Park (#41). Inquiry was raised as to whether a morning track could be included, with Staff to return with information at a later date as to what that cost would include.
Councilmember LaMalfa suggested the remainder of CIP funds be placed ($593,521) towards the 9-line.
Councilmember Luke suggested the remainder go towards Local Street Reconstruction (#16) to raise that amount to the requested $750,000.
A 5-2 Straw Poll was conducted for the remaining CIP funds in the amount of $593,521 to be allocated to the 9-line continuation, with Council Members LaMalfa, Rogers, Mendenhall, Penfold, and Luke voting “aye”; Council Members Adams and Garrott voting “nay”.
#2. HOLD A BRIEFING ON:
a) Error! Hyperlink reference not valid. TRANSIT MASTER PLAN UPDATE View Attachment
Robin Hutcheson briefed the Council from attachments and a PowerPoint Presentation regarding the Integrated Transit Program. She said the transit program included a number of different programs and not just the Streetcar. She said Staff was in an active procurement process on the Master Plan and would report the results upon award; with an estimated 18 months following selection to complete the study.
b) Error! Hyperlink reference not valid. TIGER GRANT FOR SUGAR HOUSE STREETCAR. A proposal to match funding in the event the City is awarded a federal Transportation Investments Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) Grant. The City has applied for the grant to fund extending the Sugar House Streetcar “S” Line from McClellan Street to the intersection of 2100 South Street and Highland Drive. The grant also would help fund other transportation improvements including reducing the number of automobile lanes on a four-tenths mile section of Highland Drive from four lanes to three. Under the proposed resolution, the Council would be asked to appropriate about $3.1 million in the event the City is awarded the federal grant totaling about $10.6 million. (Item G1) View Attachments
Mayor Becker, Robin Hutcheson, and Jennifer Bruno briefed the Council from attachments. Mayor Becker said the discussion this evening reflected completely the challenges and opportunity for Salt Lake City in that the greatest need today was to get into the neighborhoods, improve coverage, involve longer hours of operation, and to provide more frequent service. He said there was not one solution, but rather a combination. He said Salt Lake City did not control the level of funding and until the federal government raised the cap to allow local input, there would be challenges with transit effort because many were long-term investments. He said if the City pulled back on funding, it could be years before having the opportunity for the TIGER grant again.
Discussion followed with concern expressed regarding frustrations with the UTA partnership relative to ridership and short hours; the $37 million project that was complete except it did not connect for part of the community it was intended to serve; need for circulator in Sugar House; no parking in Sugar House; merchants on 11th East enduring years of construction that was killing business; no chance for merchants to recover from construction and yet they had made business decisions based on relying on that information. Ms. Hutcheson said a parking study was underway, and Sugar House to downtown had been added.
Ms. Hutcheson said it was unknown when funding alternatives would be awarded; however, the environmental, final design, and construction would not occur within the next year. Mayor Becker said as difficult as it was, UTA was considered the best transit system in the country because of the amount of product they deliver for the amount of money they have. He said they got caught in the economical downtown more than any other local entity; to be able to obtain the kind of service desired, they have to have more revenues.
Councilmember Luke expressed concern with the inaccuracy of data provided for two large City projects; and said he would recommend no further extension until the Council was provided a better idea of an overall plan to address City needs. He said questions were raised by constituents and the City Council did not have the answers.
c) Error! Hyperlink reference not valid. DOWNTOWN STREET CAR ALTERNATIVES UPDATE. The progress of a study of Downtown Streetcar options, including information on how streetcars differ from buses. The study, titled The Downtown Streetcar Alternative Analysis, is a step in the ongoing development of a downtown streetcar system and is scheduled to be completed this fall, and View Attachments
Robin Hutcheson and Julianne Sabula briefed the Council from attachments.
Ms. Hutcheson said the purpose today was not to make a decision, but to brief the Council on progress of work over the last six months. Discussion included why the downtown Streetcar, Alternatives Analysis, history overview and progress of work over last six months, completing the downtown circulator, serving the current demand, choices and options, engagement, information used before preparing a locally preferred alternative, timing, steps, process, reasoning, documentation, current demand, and local consensus.
Councilmember Garrott inquired as to commitments if support were determined for an alternative local preferred route. Ms. Sabula explained the Federal Transit Authority (FTA) was actually looking for local consensus. Ms. Hutcheson said work needed to be completed before the grant expired at the end of 2014, or apply for extension if necessary. She said if a local decision-making process was explained and documented, the FTA would accept that local consensus.
d) Error! Hyperlink reference not valid. SOUTH DAVIS TRANSIT STUDY. The findings of a study of transit options to connect Downtown Salt Lake City with South Davis County. The recommended Locally Preferred alternative includes a Bus Rapid Transit route on 400 West to serve redevelopment, the commuter rail station, and Downtown Salt Lake City. The Bus Rapid Transit would run in exclusive lanes adding to travel time benefits. View Attachments
Robin Hutcheson and Hal Johnson (UTA Project Manager) briefed the Council from attachments regarding a “locally preferred alternative” route for a bus rapid transit (BRT) line between downtown Salt Lake City and cities in the southern part of Davis County.
Mr. Johnson, UTA Project Manager for the South Davis Community Connector, said the route would be along US Highway 89 and 400 West Street in Salt Lake City and could connect as far south as 400 South Street. He said there was a failed study in 2008 and residents were originally against the connector. He said Staff had continued working through the course of the study, entailing huge public involvement projects (community polling, focus groups, open houses) with small transit study components. Discussion followed regarding stakeholders, funding sources, and next steps. Mr. Johnson said the LPA could be modified once the process moved into the next phases; however, he did not see change happening due to the public involvement process.
Inquiry was raised as to proposal value added for Salt Lake City, with concerns expressed relative to costs involved of $6,000,000 per mile for the BRT system. Mr. Johnson said the BRT system moved faster with fewer stops, involved separated portions of roadway with curb, and the BRT stations were designed with more amenities than bus stops. Discussion followed regarding economics and funding, with clarification being offered the request was only to support the route and no funding at this time.
Councilmember Luke said it seemed like a great deal of duplication of service from the 4th South Trax Line and then installing BRT within two blocks; along with another streetcar that would run parallel within two blocks. He said there were many areas of the City that had little transit coverage at all; hours of operations were weak; and it seemed a duplication of efforts in an area that already had full coverage. Ms. Hutcheson said the desire was for a network of choices; there was also full support of a bus line of services in neighborhoods; and the preferred alternative was generated from market area and demand.
Discussion followed regarding the need for a master plan to enable the Council to make decisions with detailed information and a broader view for citywide items such as if this was the best place to spend limited resources, convenience, hours, etc. Councilmember Mendenhall said the discussion was about the locally preferred alternative and not a master plan. Further discussion followed regarding the next step potentially being funding, with concern expressed the Council would then be backed into a corner to spend funding on regional needs versus local. Councilmember Penfold said the Council could not always think of Salt Lake City’s needs alone, but must consider the impacts to neighborhoods and other areas by removing cars from streets.
The Council determined a majority were in support of consideration for a resolution adopting a locally preferred alternative on the September 30, 2014 agenda.
#3. HOLD A BRIEFING ON:
a) Error! Hyperlink reference not valid. WEST SALT LAKE. View Attachments A proposal that would amend the West Salt Lake Master Plan pursuant to Petition No. PLNPCM2010-00656. The plan has been updated to reflect the evolution of transportation, land use, and sustainability in the area south of Interstate 80 from Interstate 215 on the west to Interstate 15 on the east. The updated plan lays out the vision, goals, and policies for the area, including:
•encouraging reinvestment and redevelopment
•protecting ongoing investment in low-density residential neighborhoods while incorporating high-density development; and
•making West Salt Lake a destination for outdoor recreation. (Petitioner Mayor Ralph Becker) (Item H1), and
Nick Britton, Nick Norris, Wilford Sommerkorn, and Sean Murphy briefed the Council from attachments.
Councilmember LaMalfa said he wanted to see this item brought back for more in-depth discussion on September 30, 2014.
b) Error! Hyperlink reference not valid. 9 LINE CORRIDOR. View Attachments The final 9 Line Master Plan pursuant to Petition No. PLNPCM2014-0004. This planning document for the 9 Line Corridor, which follows the old Union Pacific rail line on 900 South from 200 West to the Surplus Canal, is an effort to provide a major pedestrian and bicycle link connecting the City’s east and west neighborhoods. The 9 Line Master Plan identifies:
•ways to utilize the space, including development ideas for vacant parcels along the trail;
•plans for the continuation of the trail west to the Surplus Canal;
•identifies the necessary connections that need to be made to connect the nearby neighborhoods, amenities, and activity nodes. (Petitioner Mayor Ralph Becker) (Item H2)
John Anderson, Nick Norris, Wilford Sommerkorn, and Nick Tarbet briefed the council from attachments.
Councilmember LaMalfa said he wanted to see this item brought back for more in-depth discussion on September 30, 2014.
**The Council is planning to hold a public hearing on both master plans on October 7, 2014 at 7:30 p.m. at Parkview Elementary (970 Emery Street, Salt Lake City, Utah 84104).**
#4. Error! Hyperlink reference not valid. RECEIVE A FOLLOW-UP BRIEFING ABOUT THE GOLF FUND’S LONG-TERM FINANCIAL ISSUES, AND DISCUSS WITH THE ADMINISTRATION POTENTIAL OPTIONS FOR OPERATING SCENARIOS TO HELP MAKE THE GOLF FUND FINANCIALLY SELF-SUSTAINING. View Attachments
Jennifer Bruno and Rick Graham briefed the Council from attachments. Ms. Bruno said this project was operating under a very tight timeline, and referenced areas identified by Administration as potential land sales as a short-term solution to fill in the funding gap for this year. She encouraged the Council to review the proposed land sales. Mr. Graham explained Staff was still working on values, funding sources, and added maintenance costs to ensure the operational deficit was covered.
Discussion followed on how to select the task force as straw polled by the Council at their previous meeting. Councilmember Luke explained this group would be charged with vetting the different proposals (sorting and testing for reasonableness) from the public and the Westminster College students.
Cindy Gust-Jenson said a “Blue Ribbon” policy group of expertise would be different; the impression from Staff was the Council wanted a group to sort, go through ideas, consider new ideas, and was envisioned as less formal than a real recommending body. She said she would caution the task force about making recommendations, and said the Council was in the position to make policy decisions. She said Council Policy Analyst Allison Rowland would work with the group to sort through the policy issues. Councilmember Adams said she wanted to see the task force group come up with at least three options.
It was determined that each Councilmember would recommend two names for the task force by September 12, 2014 via e-mail to Ms. Bruno and Ms. Rowland, including a paragraph or qualifications. The Council felt the task force should be compiled of seven individuals, with the Chair and Vice Chair to review those names and render a decision by the September 16, 2014 meeting. Discussion followed regarding the amount of time required of these individuals, with Ms. Bruno stating the intent was for the group to meet intensely after December 15, 2014 and submit conclusions by January 15, 2015. She said Staff intends to identify several orientation times in either October or November to orient the task force regarding the golf issue as a whole.
