State of the County Address (10:05:01 AM )

Mayor Ben McAdams delivered the 2016 State of the County Address. He stated the state of the County is strong. Salt Lake County is leading the way on jobs and economic growth, public safety, fiscal discipline, and responsive government. He highlighted accomplishments for the year 2015. The ultimate goal and outcome for 2016 is to build a greater Salt Lake County through healthy people, healthy places, expanded opportunities, and responsive government. He outlined how these goal will be achieved:

Created a Dashboard called “Salt Lake Metro Stat,” which is a website feature to track, fund, and disclose how the County is responsibly caring for its citizens. This dashboard is being launched today and is loaded with information, goals, and performance metrics for what citizens can review to see how the County is doing.

Create a facility condition index to guide plans for capital renewal and replacement of the $1.6 billion worth of public facilities, such as recreation centers and libraries.

Created 14 outcomes and specific measurable indicators to use in providing homeless services. These 14 indicators were agreed upon by 31 representatives from the state, cities, county, service providers, donors, and homeless individuals. It identifies goals and harnessed individual efforts to make a big dent in the problem of homelessness. Also the County is working on a legislative strategy to get funding from the legislature for affordable housing and for right-sized centers needed by specific homeless populations.

Provide the best possible opportunities for children in the Kearns area to be ready for and succeed in school.

Utah Division of Wildlife Resources (1:11:48 PM)

Ms. Pam Kramer, Utah Division of Wildlife Resources, delivered a PowerPoint presentation regarding the habitat management plan review process. Utah State Code requires the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources (UDWR) to develop a management plan for each wildlife management area: East Canyon, East Fork of the Little Bear River, and Farmington Bay Waterfowl. Once a plan is developed, it goes through an approval process that includes a presentation to the County Council. Each plan includes the following:

A statement of the proposed or anticipated uses; A description of any management limitations or conditions covering the area; An inventory of the existing conditions; A statement of the desired future condition of the area; A list of strategies that may be implemented to achieve the desired future condition; and

Legislative Updates (1:26:27 PM)

2nd Sub. H.B. 25 - Property Tax Amendments (Rep. Daniel McCay)

This bill defines terms, modifies the calculation of certain property tax rates, repeals obsolete language, and makes technical and conforming changes.

Mr. Patrick Reimherr, Senior Advisor & Director of Government Relations, Mayor’s Office, stated this bill separates different types of assessments into different categories. It is aimed at trying to get some stability in property tax revenue, which it does in a lot of ways. However, a few changes need to be made to the bill. He recommended monitoring the bill.

Council Member Jensen stated the problem with the bill is if Kennecott Utah Copper decided to close it would be a huge hit to the County revenue. With this bill, it would take forever for the County to climb back to its original revenue level. That is the issue that needs to be resolved with the bill.

Council Member Jensen, seconded by Council Member Bradshaw, moved to support H.B. 25 with the recommended changes. The motion passed unanimously. Council Member DeBry was absent for the vote.

H.B. 77 - Special District Amendments (Rep. Stephen Handy/Sen. Jerry Stevenson)

This bill provides that certain members of a local district board of trustees do not need to reside within the local district, amends reporting requirements related to the withdrawal of a municipality from a local district, and makes technical changes.

Ms. Kara Trevino, Legislative Specialist, Council Office, stated this bill was put forth by the Special Districts Association specifically for police and fire districts. This bill was proposed last year but time ran out for it to be considered. It allows an elected board member to be on the district board without having to reside within the district. It passed the Senate, but it still needs some additional language to say that an at-large board member can also serve without living in the district. She recommended supporting the bill with that amendment.

Council Member Jensen, seconded by Council Member Newton, moved to support H.B. 77 with the recommended amendment. The motion passed unanimously. Council Member DeBry was absent for the vote.

.B. 158 - Campaign Funds Restrictions at County Level (Rep. Patrice Arent)

This bill defines terms, and prohibits a county office candidate, county officer, local school board candidate, or local school board member from making a personal use expenditure.

Ms. Kara Trevino, Legislative Specialist, Council Office, stated this bill prohibits personal use of campaign funds for County officials and school board members. One concern is the enforcement process. The County Clerk has not yet let her know if the bill is workable for the Clerk’s Office.

Council Member Burdick stated he thought using campaign funds for personal use was already illegal.

Mr. Gavin Anderson, Deputy District Attorney, stated it is not illegal. In the past, if a candidate converted campaign funds to personal use, they had to pay income taxes on that money. This is a challenging bill. It gives something with one hand and then takes it back with another. It has a long laundry list of things campaign money cannot be spent on. The money can only be used for political purposes. There is a lot of room for argument about what that will mean in reality. It would be nice if the bill’s sponsor would clarify some of those potentially conflicting provisions.

Council Member Wilson stated Salt Lake County’s ordinance on election funds is pretty simple. She did not understand why this bill included a laundry list.

Ms. Trevino stated other counties do not have any restrictions on campaign funds.

Council Member Bradshaw stated conceptually this is probably a good idea. It comes down to how political use is defined and enforced.

Council Member Burdick asked if funds could be used if the person ran for a different office.

Mr. Anderson stated he thought so.

Council Member Jensen, seconded by Council Member Granato, moved to monitor H.B. 158. The motion passed unanimously.

H.B. 180 - Sales and Use Tax Exemption Amendments (Rep. Brad Wilson)

This bill repeals a provision related to the economic life of machinery, equipment, or normal operating repair or replacement parts for purposes of a sales and use tax exemption related to certain business activities, amends the sales and use tax exemption to include certain materials, and makes technical and conforming changes.

Committee of the WholeTuesday, February 2, 2016

Ms. Kara Trevino, Legislative Specialist, Council Office, stated this bill adds more exemptions to the sales and use tax. This will have a significant fiscal impact on the County’s tax base.

Council Member Newton asked what the underlying reason was for this bill.

Ms. Trevino stated the Utah Taxpayers Association and the manufacturing industry is supporting it. The reasoning is that by not taxing business inputs, it would help the overall economy.

Council Member Jensen, seconded by Council Member Bradshaw, moved to opposed H.B. 180. The motion passed unanimously.

H.B. 215 - Local Option Sales and Use Tax Amendments (Rep. Brian Greene)

This bill authorizes a county to impose a local option sales and use tax for highways and public transit, addresses the use of revenue collected from the local option sales and use tax for highways and public transit, requires a political subdivision that receives certain sales and use tax revenue to submit certain information in audits, reviews, compilations, or fiscal reports; and makes technical corrections. 

Ms. Kara Trevino, Legislative Specialist, Council Office, stated this bill would amend last year’s H.B. 362, which was Proposition 1 on the ballot for many counties. This would change the distribution of funds from the way the voters approved it. It would give more money to cities rather than counties, and allow cities to use up to 40 percent of their portion of the revenue for transit.

Council Member Jensen, seconded by Council Member DeBry, moved to oppose H.B. 215.

Council Member Jensen stated this bill is not fair and is not the way it was represented to the voters. The County needs to be consistent with how Proposition 1 was originally drafted.

Council Member Bradshaw asked if this would affect the distribution of tax revenue to the counties that approved Proposition 1.

Council Member Jensen stated no.

Council Member Newton stated city roads are hurting. She asked why the County would oppose giving more money to the cities.

Mr. Patrick Reimherr, Senior Advisor & Director of Government Relations, Mayor’s Office, stated there are two reasons the County should be careful about this bill. One is that there was a great deal of fighting about the bill last year and a compromise was reached between the different entities. It is a bad idea to throw out that delicate balance. Second, he

5

Committee of the WholeTuesday, February 2, 2016

did not think the County would support giving 80 percent of the revenue to cities, even though they need the money for roads.

Ms. Trevino stated the Utah League of Cities and Towns also opposes this bill.

Council Member Jensen, seconded by Council Member DeBry, moved to oppose H.B. 215. The motion passed unanimously.

S.B. 92 - Municipal Landscape Amendments (Sen. Scott Jenkins)

This bill addresses a municipality's or county's authority to require certain types of landscaping.

Ms. Kara Trevino, Legislative Specialist, Council Office, stated this is one of many land use bills where the proposal is to take away local government land use regulation. This one would prohibit the County from imposing some landscape requirements.

Council Member Jensen asked if this was geared more toward industrial properties.

Ms. Trevino stated it depends on the zoning.

Council Member Burdick stated when developing an office building, landscaping is a big part of it and certain steps are required. He asked if the bill would prohibit that.

Ms. Trevino stated the bill prohibits the County from making such requirements.

Council Member Wilson, seconded by Council Member Bradshaw, moved to oppose S.B. 92.

Mr. Chris Preston, Deputy District Attorney, stated S.B. 92 has two parts to it. The first part prohibits any city or county from requiring grass to be planted. The second part involves commercial and industrial areas. It would prohibit requirements for landscaping behind a fence where landscaping cannot be seen by the public.

Council Member Wilson stated she opposed the idea of the State mandating what cities and counties can do.

Council Member Newton stated the State does not like it when the federal government tells it what to do. This is the State telling the counties and cities what to do.

Council Member Wilson, seconded by Council Member Bradshaw, moved to oppose S.B. 92. The motion passed unanimously.

S.C.R. 5 - Concurrent Resolution in Support of Law Enforcement Officers (Sen. Alvin B. Jackson)

This resolution asks law enforcement officers in Utah County to turn on their red and blue lights for up to one minute at 11:00 a.m. on the first day of every month of 2016 to honor all law enforcement officers lost this year; and expresses support for Utah County law enforcement officers and law enforcement officers nationwide.

Council Member Jensen, seconded by Council Member DeBry, moved to support S.C.R. 5. The motion passed unanimously.

Other Bills Yet to be Numbered

Community Development and Renewal Agencies Act Revisions (Sen. Wayne Harper)

Mr. Patrick Reimherr, Senior Advisor & Director of Government Relations, Mayor’s Office, stated negotiations are ongoing with the sponsor to get to a better place with this bill. Currently there are three economic development vehicles: Urban Renewal Areas, Economic Development Areas, and Community Development Areas. The bill proposed to take all three of these tracks and make them into one track called the Community Reinvestment Area. Then within the Community Reinvestment Area there would be two more tracks. One of those tracks is similar to the Urban Renewal Area in that it requires a finding of blight. If there is a finding of blight, the Taxing Entity Committee (TEC) process could be used to address the blight issues. If there is no finding, then the County would go through the negotiated interlocal process. This structure works better for the County and preserves the communities’ interest in addressing blight in their neighborhoods.

The Legislative team is working with the sponsor to figure out the affordable housing requirement that exists within this new Community Reinvestment vehicle. The sponsor has indicated support for including that language but he has not yet seen it.

Mayor Ben McAdams stated the County is running a separate bill on this issue as well.

Council Member Newton stated as long as the TEC committees do not get to make all the decisions, and blight and eminent domain are included in the bill, she is good with it.

Council Member Wilson asked if there was some relationship between the federal grants in those areas and blight findings. She wanted to be sure that the State was not creating a new method in the system that would prohibit eligibility for federal grants for affordable housing.

Mr. Reimherr stated he would be happy to check on that.

7

Committee of the WholeTuesday, February 2, 2016

Council Member Jensen stated the County already has the three different tracks to work with. The developers do not have to choose up front whether it is going to be blighted. This bill’s approach is problematic. Most taxing entities, such as water and sewer districts, do not like the TEC committees because there is only one vote for everyone collectively. Most everyone likes the CDA approach because they get individual votes on whether they want to participate. He did not see the need to go to this new track.

Council Member Newton, seconded by Council Member Bradley, moved to continue to monitor this bill. The motion passed unanimously.

Medicaid Expansion (Rep. Jim Dunnigan)

Mr. Patrick Reimherr, Senior Advisor & Director of Government Relations, Mayor’s Office, stated Rep. Jim Dunnigan has been working to produce a Medicaid proposal. The way to approach this is to make a good attempt to see what is possible in this session. He is planning for about a $30 million bill; match from the federal government would be $100 million in Medicaid dollars flowing into the state. He is not including a County match within that expansion. He also wants to have a higher reimbursement rate. He has not seen any official bill yet.

Council Member Newton stated this proposal could fund about 16,000 people, including the poorest of the poor. This would allow single adults coming out of jail to access medical care for up to 12 months, even if they get a job. This goes along with the County’s efforts in criminal justice reform. This is money the County does not have to come up with to pay for mental health and substance abuse programs. The devil is in the details, and the Council should wait to see how this shakes out.

Council Member Jensen stated his suggestion is to keep the Council’s position on favoring the Healthy Utah expansion and see what comes out of this legislative session.

Human Resources Policy and Procedure (2:01:30 PM)

The Council reviewed the following Human Resources Policy and Procedure:

#4-800 – Service Awards (Gift Card Policy)

Mr. Michael Ongkiko, Director, Human Resources Division, stated there is not a mechanism within County policies to reward employees, other than leave with pay or discretionary bonuses. This change would reward employees on the spot. However, there are IRS tax ramifications. Gift cards must be taxable. To satisfy the IRS requirement, he is recommending the purchase of gift cards be centralized through the ESR Fund with funds

coming out of the department or agencies’ respective budgets. The department or agency would order the gift cards, and those gift cards would run through payroll before being given to the employees.

Council Member Newton stated gift cards could be purchased in dominations of $5, $10, or $25. An employee could not receive more than $100 worth of gift cards in a year. The funds for these gift cards would come of the department or agencies’ existing budget.

Council Member Bradshaw, seconded by Council Member Newton, moved to approve the policy and procedure and forward it to the 4:00 p.m. Council meeting for formal consideration. The motion passed unanimously.

Ms. Beth Overhuls, Chief Information Officer, Mayor’s Office, stated this amendment is an interim adjustment to this policy. The policy will be entirely revamped to update it with current technology.

Council Member Wilson, seconded by Council Member Bradshaw, moved to approve the policy and procedure and forward it to the 4:00 p.m. Council meeting for formal consideration. The motion passed unanimously.

It is the result of the work of more than 60 County employees. The objectives were to bring more transparency, accountability, and data-driven governance. There are three audiences that would use this dashboard - policy makers, the public, and County staff. She then reviewed the information found on the dashboard website. The website will be updated as needed.

Ms. Lori Bays, Deputy Mayor, stated the dashboard will be used on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis to monitor progress. It will become a regular part of the way the County does business.

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

RESOLUTION authorizing execution of an INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT between Salt Lake County for its Office of Regional Development and Salt Lake City, West Valley City, Taylorsville City, West Jordan City, South Jordan City, Sandy City, Utah Transit Authority and the Utah Department of Transportation (the “Parties”) - Contribution of Funds for a Transportation Study. Salt Lake County will contribute $35,000 to facilitate completion of a transportation study of the area from the northern boundary of Salt Lake City to 11400 South along Redwood Road. Each of the Parties will contribute funds necessary to complete the study. The Utah Transit Authority will manage the project.

Council Member DeBry asked how much each of the entities would contribute towards this study.

Mr. Wilf Sommerkorn, Office of Regional Development, stated the cities would each be contributing $35,000, except for Sandy City, which would contribute $10,000. The Utah Department of Transportation would contribute $70,000 and the Utah Transit Authority would contribute $200,000. Redwood Road does not run through any part of Sandy City; however, Sandy City would like to participate in this study because there is a possibility of a Bus Rapid Transit Line to its city center.

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