Pilot Project Proposal for Off-leash Areas in County Parks (11:13:13 AM)

Mr. Martin Jensen, Director, Parks & Recreation Division, delivered a PowerPoint presentation regarding a proposed dog off-leash pilot program. He reviewed the differences between dog parks and off-leash areas, the planning process, criteria used to identify potential parks, concerns and issues, and what the pilot program would involve. The parks proposed for the pilot program are Canyon Rim Park, Big Cottonwood Regional Park, Mountain Man Park, Flight Park, Scott Avenue Park, and Valley Center Park.

Council Member Bradshaw stated there is conflicting data about the impact a dog park would have on the environment. By concentrating all dogs into fenced parks, it concentrates the problems and creates a greater environmental impact. Disbursing dogs over a larger geographical area will lower the environmental impact.

Council Member DeBry stated although he is a fan of dogs, he is concerned about dogs interacting with families, picnics, and perhaps scaring children. He asked who would hold owners accountable for picking up after their dogs.

Mr. Wayne Johnson, Associate Director, Parks & Recreation Division, stated the County has 109 parks and someone is breaking the law within the parks all the time. If the

Committee of the Whole &Budget WorkshopJune 16, 2015

Parks & Recreation Division gets a complaint, they call Animal Services Division. Then warning notices and citations are given, and for a while the number of infractions will decrease. However, they eventually increase again.

Council Member DeBry stated he realized it was a tough balancing act.

Mr. Jensen stated these parks belong to everyone and the County is trying to meet the needs of all residents.

Council Member Newton stated she was supportive of finding areas for pets and owners to enjoy. She asked what liability the County would incur with off-leash parks.

Mr. Mike Reberg, Director, Animal Services Division, stated dog-on-dog attacks are a civil issue. An owner must still be responsible for a dog’s behavior while it is off-leash. Animal Services will respond to any dog attack on a human and issue a citation. Fenced dog parks send a message to non-dog owners that this is not a park for them. The difficult part comes with the sharing of parks between people and pets. This will be a big challenge.

Council Member Wilson asked where and how this will roll out and what decision points the Council has, and if this was part of the revised Parks & Recreation Master Plan. She also wanted information on other things the County has to look at that are broader than the pilot project.

Mr. Jensen stated this pilot program is being brought before the Council at its request. The Parks & Recreation Division is now looking for Council feedback and direction. The project will roll out when the Council approves it. It will take approximately four to six weeks to get all the signs up and put information out to the public.

The 2008 Master Plan was a great foundation on how to build fenced dog parks. The Council still needs to implement some of those and pair it with information learned in this 12-month pilot program. Then the public input process will begin. The County is leading out in this issue, but it cannot meet the pent up demand without the help of cities. The new master plan is almost done and it does address high level dog parks and off leash areas.

Council Member Wilson asked what the disadvantage would be to a fenced park.

Mr. Jensen stated Millrace Park is a good example of a park that has been loved to death. It is overrun and overused. The Ron Wood Park in West Jordan was designed to mitigate that overuse by having four rotating quadrants. When a section gets worn down, it can be sectioned off to be rehabilitated.

Mr. Johnson stated a fenced park becomes a single use park, not open to everyone.

Council Member Bradshaw stated when looking at park amenities, the County is looking for mixed use areas.

Committee of the Whole &Budget WorkshopJune 16, 2015

Council Member Bradley stated several of the proposed parks have fences on three sides. Some are relatively small. It might mitigate citizens’ concerns if part of the park is fenced off. The idea of rotating sections is very interesting. He asked if the pilot program could try several different options.

Mr. Jensen stated the pilot program will not meet every need. This will help the County learn what works and what does not. The Parks & Recreation Division wants to meet the needs of residents in a non-traditional way.

Council Member Bradley stated the County could fence in two or three of the proposed areas and then compare the feedback from neighbors.

Mr. Jensen stated his direction was to do this program at no cost, and fences are not free.

Ms. Erin Litvack, Director, Community Services Department, stated the County is looking at different ways to do dog parks or off-leash areas. The fenced dog parks work and provide a level of protection. By exploring this model, it is an opportunity to assess whether or not off-leash areas in existing parks can function in a way that benefits everyone.

Council Member Newton asked what percentage of County residents own dogs.

Mr. Johnson stated the 2008 Master Plan indicated about 50 percent of households had dogs.

Mr. Reberg stated fenced dog parks are easier for enforcement. People expect to have animal-free areas as well.

Council Member DeBry stated with population growth comes more dogs and they will need space. He would like to see a way citizens can comment on the pilot when it is finished. He asked if the off-leash program would be for certain days or certain times during the day.

Mr. Johnson stated dogs would be allowed off-leash on a full-time basis due to enforcement issues.

Council Member Burdick stated in addition to providing bags for owners to clean up after their dogs, the parks should have a water source for the dogs. If the County does not provide water, the loser could be the dog. He also asked if Dimple Dell Park was considered as an off-leash park.

Mr. Jensen stated the parks have water fountains. They could also provide water spigots for the use of dog owners. Dimple Dell Park is already heavily used by neighbors and surrounding communities as an off-leash area. In the long term, it could be considered for off-leash designation, but it is not part of the pilot program.

Council Member Bradley asked if there was a matrix prepared to gauge the success of the pilot. After 12 months, a comfort level may set in just because time allows that.

Committee of the Whole &Budget WorkshopJune 16, 2015

Mr. Jensen stated they have created a baseline for each park that includes conditions of the park, water quality, and public sentiment. This is an ongoing process. The Parks & Recreation Division is committed to soliciting feedback throughout the 12 month period. These parks are the property of the taxpayer and the County is tasked with meeting their needs. A year from now the data will be compared to what is currently available.

Council Member Snelgrove stated the dog parks are as much for people as they are for the dogs. It provides exercise and companionship for both dogs and their owners. He has received quite a bit of correspondence from concerned citizens about this issue. He would like to familiarize himself with all the proposed locations. He asked if it would inhibit the process if the decision on the parks was put off for three weeks.

Mr. Jensen stated no. He would encourage the Council Members to look at all the parks and he would be willing to provide a tour.

Council Member Wilson stated she would like to see an implementation plan for the pilot program.

Mr. Reberg stated the Council Members were welcome to do a ride-along with an Animal Services officer to see what issues they deal with.

Council Member Bradshaw stated he was a proponent of this issue. Based on emails the County has received, there is a perception that if an area becomes an off-leash park, it will suffer from overuse. Offering more options will help mitigate that problem. Other user groups have other options as well. This will not be done in all parks. The pilot program is about giving responsible dog owners a way to recreate with their dogs.

Jordan Valley Station CDA Resolution (10:51:58 AM)

The Council reviewed the following resolution, which has been placed on the Council agenda for final approval and execution:

Redevelopment Agency of the West Jordan City regarding amending the funding timeline for the Jordan Valley Station Project Area.

Ms. Christina Oliver, Economic Development Director, Office of Regional Development, stated the Jordan Valley Station Project Area is a Transit Oriented Development in West Jordan City. The project has two large parking structures built by the Utah Transit Authority (UTA) as part of a larger funding project that was approved by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA). Jeff Vitek is the developer of the property in partnership with UTA.

The Community Development Area (CDA) project was supposed to have been triggered in 2014. However, the FTA had ownership interest in some of the land, and as UTA was working with West Jordan City to subdivide the parcels, there was some confusion as to who owned which piece of land and what could be attributed to a for-profit venture. That was resolved with the FTA just over one and a half years ago.

Committee of the Whole &Budget WorkshopJune 16, 2015

The developer has since then received approval and financing for two private apartment buildings to be built up against the parking structures. UTA public parking will be the top levels, and the main level will be for private use.

The request today is for the Council to approve the resolution extending the CDA trigger date from 2014 through 2019. The reasoning behind this is because now that the infrastructure is going in, there are a couple of years of construction that need to take place. In order for the project to realize the CDA proceeds approved a couple of years ago, it needs time to get out of the ground and realize some value.

Council Member Jensen asked where the Jordan Valley Station is located.

Mr. Jeff Vitek, Boulder Ventures Development, stated the project is located at 3200 West and approximately 90th South in West Jordan, on the TRAX line.

Council Member DeBry stated it was interesting that there was such expediency on the part of West Jordan City to get the project going, but now it is lagging behind schedule.

Ms. Oliver stated this project was the first transit oriented development the FTA had done in the region. The FTA had to create a new internal process to handle the project.

Mr. Steven Meyer, Chief Capital Development Officer, UTA, stated this is a joint development process, and the FTA wanted UTA to maintain control of the UTA part of the parking structure and the transit critical elements. It was the first time in this region that a transit oriented development was done with FTA funding, and new guidelines had to be developed. There was also a change in legal staff at the same time. Essentially there were many pieces of bureaucracy to deal with. Then Boulder Ventures Development had to reapply for financing.

Council Member DeBry stated a big issue for him is to be sure public monies do not go to private ventures. He asked if that was still the case with the new agreement.

Ms. Oliver stated yes.

Ms. Emily Farmer, Economic Development Manager, Office of Regional Development, stated the County’s tax increment will only be applied to public infrastructure, with the exception of the parking structure.

Ms. Oliver stated it is exactly as the Council previously approved it.

Council Member Bradley stated when this CDA started in 2011, he had some issues with the emphasis on housing and parking. Those did not seem to be the County’s responsibility. The County’s responsibility is not to make deals work for investors and developers. It is to build a community where appropriate, using taxpayer dollars. Housing is a cost to the taxpayer in terms of fire and law enforcement. This does not seem to be a good investment for taxpayer dollars. He also thought the County had already contributed money to the parking structure.

Committee of the Whole &Budget WorkshopJune 16, 2015

Ms. Oliver stated the County did not contribute to the parking structure.

Council Member Bradley asked why the trigger date needed to be extended.

Ms. Oliver stated it is financially non-feasible to build public parking structures without some sort of subsidy from a government taxing entity. These are non-value added parking stalls to a developer. The taxpayer is getting a benefit because public transit is benefitting from this development. The developer and UTA do not have the funds; there are no more federal funds available. Parking stalls cost $10,000 to $15,000 each. With land values as low as they are in Utah, developers cannot be forced to do transit oriented development. There would be no financial gain in putting these together.

The trigger date needs to be changed because of delays in getting the project started. The FTA process took over two years. Then the entire financing process had to be restarted. By moving the date to 2019, it will allow the developer to see taxable value realized on the tax rolls to the level that is projected.

Council Member Bradley asked what would be wrong with just resubmitting the application and starting over.

Ms. Oliver stated the developer’s financing has already been closed contingent on this development agreement. All the other taxing entities have opted to extend the date.

Council Member Bradley stated that did not reassure him of anything. He had a bad feeling about this CDA from the beginning. He thought mistakes were made in terms of what was emphasized, and where the money should be spent. The Council has a responsibility to see that economic development takes place. However, the Council is not here to be sure the developer succeeds and makes his money. That is his job. He asked what would be the down side of telling the developer to reapply.

Ms. Oliver stated that would be sending the message that the County does not support transit oriented development.

Council Member Bradley stated the County’s policy is not to emphasize housing, but that is what is being done in this CDA. The policy cannot be thrown out the window for anything associated with transit oriented development.

Ms. Oliver stated there are only a few spots in the entire valley that could qualify for federal funding. One of the misnomers of transit oriented development is that it is great mixed use with such things as shopping, multi-family housing, and offices. The market has shown that is not feasible in the Salt Lake County metropolitan area right now.

Council Member Jensen stated he was empathetic to Council Member Bradley’s point, especially about the impact of fire and law enforcement services. Apartments pay more of their fair share to get those services, but they also draw more of them. He was willing to move forward with this because the County had committed to developing the area around the TRAX line so that people would use the system. In addition, the taxing entity partners on the project have already agreed to the extension. If the County did not extend the

trigger date, it would tell the partners they should carry the County’s load when the County originally said it was going to be part of the project.

Mr. Stephen Barnes, Deputy District Attorney, stated there is a cap on the tax increment of $5.4 million. That remains the same with the change in date.

Ms. Oliver stated if there is any other holdup with the project, the trigger date will not be changed again. The developer would have to start the process all over again. In addition, because of new County policy, the developer has to write a letter indicating when the trigger should start, unlike old CDAs where the trigger was automatic.

Council Member DeBry stated the County needs transit oriented development, especially with the population growth in this area of the valley. Nothing has changed in the agreement except the start date.

Council Member DeBry, seconded by Council Member Newton, moved to approve the resolution and to forward it to the 4:00 p.m. Council meeting for formal consideration.

Council Member Snelgrove stated philosophically he agrees with Council Member Bradley; he would be a reluctant “aye” on this vote. He will support it because the CDA is already in the pipeline. If it were new, he would be much more reluctant to approve it.

Council Member DeBry, seconded by Council Member Newton, moved to approve the resolution and to forward it to the 4:00 p.m. Council meeting for formal consideration. The motion passed 8 to 1 with Council Member Bradley voting in opposition.

Community Preservation ~ External Communication Subcommittee ( 10:40:54 AM )

During the June 2, 2015, Committee of the Whole meeting, the Council discussed the process relating to items submitted by the community councils to the External Communications Subcommittee for approval before the information could go out to the community. Several members of the community councils expressed concerns with this process.

Ms. Kimberly Barnett, Associate Deputy Mayor, updated the Council regarding the progress made by the External Communications Subcommittee. She stated all materials submitted by community councils have been approved. These materials will be distributed by the community councils to their communities. No funding requests have been received relating to the $50,000 allocated by the Council for this purpose; however, the County should start to receive these requests soon. When received, the funding requests will be presented to the Council for approval.

The External Communications Subcommittee has completed two comparison charts. The first comparison chart highlights the difference between the way it is currently and what will change if a metro township is approved. The second comparison chart highlights the differences for an

unincorporated island. These comparison charts have been posted to the County webpage and the County toolbox.

The External Communications Subcommittee is working on a frequently asked questions page, as well as a fiscal analysis page to be added to the website and toolbox when completed. Town hall meetings are being scheduled for the month of September, in which the Council will be invited to participate. As soon as the dates and locations are finalized, the Council will be notified.

Ms. Alyson Heyrend, Communications Director, Mayor’s Office, stated some questions relate to how the Municipal Services District will be affected. Answers to that question will be included on the website. Once the Council adopts the ballot language, it will also be included on the website.

Council Member DeBry stated it is important to educate citizens on this issue. He asked if the Council would have the opportunity to approve the ballot language to make sure it is concise and very clear.

Mr. Jason Rose, Legal Counsel, Council Office, stated S.B. 199 includes ballot language. The Council can only make minor changes to it. There is very little wriggle room.

Council Member Snelgrove asked if the County website was getting much traffic regarding this proposal.

Ms. Barnett stated it depends on the week. If the media runs a story, or a public hearing or town hall meeting is held, the number of hits increases.

Review of Planning and Zoning Application (12:09:55 PM)

Mr. Jason Rose, Legal Counsel, Council Office, reviewed the following planning & zoning application. A public hearing for the application will be set for July 14, 2015:

Application #29327 – Wayne Corbridge on behalf of Sego Homes is requesting to remove zoning conditions on property located at 4165-4195 South 700 East to allow for residential uses with a height restriction of 44 feet.

Mr. Rose stated this is a proposed rezone to relax a zoning condition on 1.36 acres of land consisting of four parcels. It was rezoned about a year ago from an R-1-10 zone to a more high density use with zoning conditions. The current proposal would change the zoning conditions to allow for a PUD, residential town houses, and an increase in building height.

Budget Workshop

Certified Tax Rates 1:38:41 PM

Mr. David Delquadro, Chief Financial Manager, Council Office, reviewed the certified tax rates. He stated .00002 percent of the General Fund tax rate has been moved to the Planetarium to bring that tax rate up to the highest level allowed. He also reviewed the projected fund balances for the June budget. When the under expend is added to projected fund balances, all funds are projected to exceed the original adopted budget by the end of the year.

A tentative calendar has been developed, which will allow the department heads and other independent elected officials to come before the Council before the November budget to explain what is going on within their portfolios. During that time, the Council will have the opportunity to look at any under expend and the impact the reclassifications have had on each budget.

Sheriff James Winder stated his mid-year budget adjustments include the

following requests:

Jail Assessments/Screening Team 11 New FTEs $282,697

The Utah Legislature passed a Justice Reinvestment Initiative (JRI), which has significant impacts on the criminal justice system. One of the fundamental provisions of the initiative is the need for early screening and assessments of individuals, who are entering into the criminal justice system. All criminal justice partners agreed the right time to do this assessment is during the initial booking process into the jail. An assessment done at that time will provide a first glimpse of what the actual risk and needs of the individuals are. This will allow the individuals to be placed at the right location resulting in a significant cost and time savings.

Council Member Burdick asked if the Judicial Council agreed with this idea. It is important to have it on board as well.

Sheriff Winder stated in every conversation he has had with the Judicial Council, it has indicated it is excited about this opportunity, however; he has not received any direct concurrence.

Committee of the Whole &Budget WorkshopJune 16, 2015

Mr. David Delquadro, Chief Financial Manager, Council Office, stated this request for funding is only a half-year cost. It is not the annualized cost.

Sheriff Winder stated his office will be applying for grant money from JRI to help with the cost of this initiative.

Jail Medical Services$265,095

Sheriff Winder stated his office has little control over this line item. This request puts in place a mechanism to help capture the over expend earlier in the year.

Health Services Overtime$99,200

Sheriff Winder stated this is recognition of an ongoing cost, which in the past has been funded from under expend.

New Initiative: Intensive Supervision Probation

Sheriff Winder introduced the Council to a new initiative he is proposing. He stated two units at the jail will be closed for scheduled maintenance, and the under expend of $501,000 will go towards an intensive supervision probation unit. The closure of the two units will not be permanent, but the funding will be used to jump start the initiative. In the future, hopefully, this will be funded through funds received from the JRI. This initiative is needed due to the increase in the number of bookings, the impact of the JRI, and increased transportation costs. This initiative goes hand in hand with the screening assessment request and has been worked on in conjunction with the Salt Lake County Criminal Justice Services (CJS) community. Using the assessment taken at the booking, as well as other tools developed in conjunction with CJS, the idea is to take people who would otherwise be in jail and put them back into the community under supervision. This will result in a huge savings and will provide individuals an opportunity to succeed.

Council Member Newton asked if services would still be available for people who have mental health or substance abuse issues.

Sheriff Winder stated yes; it does no good to release people out into the community without supervision or opportunity for needed services. The Salt Lake County Human Services Division and the Salt Lake County Criminal Justice Services Division has guaranteed the jail they will make slots available for individuals who participate in the County’s probation initiative.

Council Member DeBry asked how this would work with the courts and sentencing.

Sheriff Winder stated the courts are supportive of this initiative because they see it as a realistic alternative. The courts will sentence people directly to the probation program because this initiative provides needed assessment and supervision.

Committee of the Whole &Budget WorkshopJune 16, 2015

Council Member Wilson stated this is the first time the Council has heard about this initiative and it would need more time and information before making a decision. She asked if the Sheriff was requesting the Council to allow him the use of the under expend from the closure of the two units.

Sheriff Winder stated he is asking to use the under expend to fund this initiative. The two units will be closed for scheduled maintenance, and this will allow him to jump start the program. The jail has to take whoever comes; there is no way to stop the flow. The only thing it can do is come up with new ways to let prisoners out the door without supervision or anything else. This is foolish and creates the illusion of a revolving door. To address this concern, he is recommending booking restrictions where the jail will no longer accept certain individuals, such as those arrested for jay walking, or not having headlights on a bicycle. He then presented the draft of the Jail Cap Management Plan, which will help with the booking restrictions.

Council Member Jensen stated he is assumed “Class C,” then “Class B,” and then the nonviolent “Class A” would be the order of release if the jail reaches its cap.

Sheriff Winder stated the Council as the legislative body relative to financial issues at the jail, has the authority to set caps. The Sheriff has the authority, based on the caps, to determine what people are allowed in the jail. The release of prisoners would be based in an ascending order beginning with “Class C” and “Class B.”

Council Member Newton stated this reminded her of the Early Case Resolution (ECR) where the County was trying to get prisoners through the system quicker. She asked if there were any plans to look into another ECR or other options that are similar.

Sheriff Winder stated discussions relating to the ECR have stalled.

Council Member Newton asked if this new initiative works with the Pay For Success program the Mayor is working on. She asked if this was a short-term fix or a long-term solution.

Sheriff Winder stated this initiative falls in line with the criteria for the pay-for-success program. This is a long-term solution to the problems relating to the jail.

Council Member Snelgrove stated he sees two benefits: It will help people stay employed and it will help families stay intact. Also, there are significant savings relating to societal costs. It is a win-win for the taxpayers and those whose lives will be affected by this initiative.

Mr. Delquadro stated the six vehicles requested are associated with the proposed probation unit. The funding for those vehicles will come from the Prisoner’s Services Fund.

Council Member Jensen, seconded by Council Member DeBry, moved to approve the Sheriff’s June budget adjustments as recommended by the Mayor, noting the request for the six vehicles is a placeholder awaiting the Council’s decision relating to the new initiative. The motion passed unanimously.

pay the remaining amount in the near future. The other half would be paid by grants from external sources.

Ms. Fraser Nelson, Director of Data and Innovation, Mayor’s Office, stated Code for America is a national fellowship, which Salt Lake County competed for. It involves having three experienced technologists from national companies come to the County to work on new technology that will reduce costs. To reduce recidivism, Code for America will be working on an application to remind those on probation of court hearings and treatment plans to ensure they get the support they need to be successful.

Mr. Carlton Christensen, Director, Office of Regional Development, stated during the 2015 budget, the Office of Regional Development requested $75,000 for a pilot program called Better Futures, a post incarceration program. Through the process, it was determined that there is a heavy employment component to it. The $75,000 set aside for that program will be used as the first installment payment to Code for America after a deal is reached in August. The remaining $145,000 will be proposed in the 2016 Office of Regional Development Fund budget.

Council Member Jensen, seconded by Council Member Bradshaw, moved to approve the Mayor’s Office budget as recommended by the Mayor. The motion passed unanimously.

fall budget process. While the Mayor and Council supported the idea they did not fund the request at that time, but approved the concept and asked that the funding request come back in June. Since the court started at the beginning of the year, the UPD coveredthe need by reassigning an officer to try to absorb the cost within its current budget. It is requesting the FTE as part of the new contract beginning July 2015. The annual cost of the FTE is $125,000, so the half-year impact to the County budget is $62,500. The County currently has enough funding in the 2015budget to cover this increase since the anticipated contract increase was slightly less than what was anticipated in the fall. The UPD is currently in the process of finalizing is annual budget. $ 0

Mr. Brad Kendrick, Budget and Policy Analyst, Council Office, stated $500,000 was originally earmarked for the University of Utah (U of U) tennis program, which included an FTE request. The County was unable to come to an agreement with the U of U, and the program was dissolved. The proposal is to reallocate the $500,000 to fund the Dimple Dell wall repair, Northwest Recreation Center waterline repair, Millcreek Activity Center bus replacement, Parks Operations Center design, the Parliament of the World’s Religions, and the Utah Performing Arts Center Association. The Tourism, Recreation, Cultural, and Convention Facilities (TRCC) Advisory Board did not have a recommendation for the Parks Operation Center design and the Utah Performing Arts Center Association because they did not have enough information.

Mr. Delquardo stated the reallocation of the TRCC funds is budget neutral.

Council Member Snelgrove asked what specifically the funds will be used for regarding the Park Operations Center design.

Mr. Kendrick stated they will be used to jump start the process and get a better idea of what exactly is going to be built.

Ms. Erin Litvack, Director, Community Services Department, stated the project is about design and looking at the entire site to determine what the best design is to accommodate offices and parking for large equipment and other things needed for an operational center.

Mayor Ben McAdams stated the TRCC Advisory Board would like additional information on the Parks Operations Center design at its August meeting, and in turn, feedback will be provided to the Council.

Council Member Newton asked what the Parliament of the World’s Religions is and why the County is funding it.

Mr. Kendrick stated the Parliament of the World’s Religions is coming to the Salt Palace Convention Center. A request was made to the County to assist with funding to provide a seating area for attendees to gather in between meetings. The County is paying a third of the cost.

Mayor McAdams stated this is a partnership with the Utah Governor’s Office of Economic Development (GOED) and Salt Lake City. It will be a large conference of international significance. It will be an area to host the delegates.

Ms. Litvack stated there is a dual purpose: to host the delegates and to promote what Utah has to offer to encourage conference goers to come back.

Council Member Wilson asked why the Salt Lake Convention & Visitors Bureau is not taking the seating room cost out of its funds.

Mayor McAdams stated the legislature came forward and asked the County to participate by contributing a third of the cost.

Council Member DeBry, seconded by Council Member Jensen moved to approve the Community Services Department June budget adjustments as recommended by the Mayor. The motion passed unanimously.
