COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE

Citizen Public Input (1:44:02 PM)

Dr. Lloyd Miller spoke under “Citizen Public Input” and read the following statement:

WHAT IS THE REAL “CORE” OF UTAH CULTURE AND ARTS?

Quickly about myself as an arts administrator, supporter and performing artist since the 1950’s. I won Intercollegiate Jazz festival trophies for three consecutive years in the late 60s and the 1970 national collegiate jazz composers’ award after which I went on a Fulbright scholarship to study in Iran where I was given my own prime-time weekly TV show lasting 5 years. I taught music performance and theory 18 years at the U of U and 18 years at BYU and have been and still am active in the arts in Salt Lake

So although the Cultural Core plan is a great idea, there are a few things that might be considered. Does anyone remember decades ago when the Twilight Concert Series was a beautiful fun family event with old fashioned traditional acoustic music groups before it became a monster beer bash with noisy cranium-crushing cacophony? How about the original Utah Arts Festival before it became a big drunk-out where minors now can easily cop a half cup of partly imbibed beer and the “music” usually requires several sets of ear plugs and a strong

stomach. Same problem with Living Traditions, now a booze fest decorated by performances.

According to the National Council on Alcohol and Drug Dependence, “Alcohol is a factor in 40% of all violent crimes today” and “more than any illegal drug, was found to be closely associated with violent crimes” including annually “about 3 million violent crimes” and “about half of all homicides.” So maybe it’s time to end using tax funds to promote alcohol abuse under the guise of arts events in a state where over half the population are opposed to drinking? Should we be complaining about the large homeless population in the downtown area while we are training future homeless drunks by assuring that everyone, even under age children, can easily obtain and abuse alcohol at our arts events? So it’s great to see the plans for the Culture Core, but hopefully in an atmosphere where alcohol is not the main reason to attend arts events and where mainly violet loud pop culture noise dominates.

Since nostalgia is becoming a world-wide trend, why not bring back the former family-friendly events of past decades which everyone loved and which would more correctly represent the true core values of our state as well as offering visitors a real taste of the traditional Utah that the ancestors of some of us founded. Just a note from my generation of past decades: in music “progressive” meant Dave Brubeck and Lenny Tristano as opposed to commercial charlatans like Montovani and Liberace; “hip” and “cool” meant highly-skilled intellectual like Dizzy Gillespie, Stan Getz and Miles Davis not something like Britney Spears and Jay Z that the cultural engineer manipulators concocted as toxic products to foist on everyone as a money making scam.

When art becomes business, it has no business being “art” and so why not beauty in place of belligerence?

Ms. Marie Taylor spoke under “Citizen Public Input” asking if the Council Members received the email she sent with the link to the federal designation. Since it appears that the federal designation is not going to happen, there is no need to have the Central Wasatch Commission come to a vote. She also spoke about her concern for rising property taxes on the apartments she owns, which makes it difficult to have affordable housing.

Employee Service Reserve Wellness Program

Request for an interim budget adjustment of $28,300 for increased staff time for the Wellness Program due to increased participation. This will entail transferring funds from operations to personnel in the Employee Services Reserve Fund.

Council Member Jensen asked if there would be under expend in the Personnel line item.

Mr. Darrin Casper, Chief Financial Officer, Mayor’s Office, stated no. The adjustment in labor is needed to account for the 60 percent increase in the number of employee assessments being done in the Wellness Program. That increase was not projected and the budget will not cover the staff needed to do the assessments.

Council Member Jensen asked when it became apparent there would be a problem.

Mr. Casper stated last month. He stated this will come from under expend in Operations; it is not new money.

Council Member Jensen stated he had a problem using one-time funds from Operations to pay for Personnel, which is an ongoing expense. He asked what would happen if the Council did not approve this.

Mr. Casper stated the employee assessments could be stopped in December, even though a lot of people have signed up for them. They could move some costs to the Health Department. Either way, they will not exceed the appropriation.

Committee of the Whole& Budget WorkshopTuesday, December 6, 2016

Council Member Newton stated the Council could ask the Health Department to talk about the Wellness Program so the Council can evaluate whether this is something they want to spend tax dollars on.

Council Member Jensen stated this was an important and valued service. What troubles him is why the Health Department did not come to the Council sooner when it knew there was a large increase in enrollment.

Mr. Casper stated that probably should have happened, but did not. When the enrollment dramatically increased, the Health Department should have known their budgeted funds would not cover expenses. However, in the past the program has had significant under expend and they may have felt that same under expend this year could cover the expenses.

Council Member Jensen stated he was concerned about making a precedent by moving funds from Operations to Personnel. That has never been done before.

Council Member Bradshaw stated the Council could amend the existing legislative intent to include any funds that go into or out of Personnel.

Council Member Wilson stated another option would be to delay the assessments until January.

Mr. David Delquadro, Chief Financial Manager, Council Office, stated he understood the Council’s reluctance to approve this. However, he cautioned that the alternative was to use the Operations budget to hire contract employees. That would be more expensive to do. If the County is going to provide this service, it should be done in the most cost efficient manner. The better way to do this would be to have closer Council scrutiny of funds moving into or out of Personnel.

Council Member Bradshaw, seconded by Council Member Wilson, moved to approve the request with alteration of the legislative intent that regardless of the direction, shifting in or out of the Personnel Appropriation Unit, the legislative intent would apply, and to forward the matter to the 4:00 PM Council meeting for formal consideration. The motion passed 6 to 3 with Council Members DeBry, Burdick, and Jensen voting in opposition.

Culture Core Action Plan and Resolution ( 2:28:51 PM )

Ms. Holly Yocom, Associate Director, Community Services Department, and Mr. David Gee, Parr Brown Gee & Loveless, delivered a PowerPoint presentation regarding the Cultural Core Action Plan. They reviewed the plan’s background, planning methodology, goals, management, budget, implementation timeline and success metrics. The plan involves three areas: creative placemaking, marketing and promotion, and audience development. They reviewed recommendations for each area.

Council Member Newton asked about the demographics of the survey done for Cultural Core.

Mr. Gee stated it was a regional survey. Many of the over 2,000 people surveyed were from Salt Lake County, but it went way beyond that.

Council Member Newton asked where the County’s $250,000 annual contribution comes from.

Ms. Yocom stated it is from the General Fund.

Mr. Darrin Casper, Chief Financial Officer, stated the Cultural Core is like a district. Incremental sales taxes above a baseline were agreed upon by interlocal agreement with Salt Lake City to be contributed to this process. It caps those dollars at $500,000 per year split between the City and County. They are General Fund sales taxes.

Council Member Burdick asked about the boundaries for the district.

Ms. Yocom stated the boundaries of the Cultural Core are 600 West, 400 East, North Temple, and 400 South.

Ms. Erin Litvack, Director, Community Services Department, stated that is the boundary of the spending. The collection area is defined differently and is slightly smaller. That area is 200 West, 200 East, South Temple, and 400 South.

Committee of the Whole& Budget WorkshopTuesday, December 6, 2016

Council Member Jensen asked how many years the County will be contributing money to this.

Ms. Yocom stated the County has appropriated $750,000 so far. The interlocal agreement calls for the contribution to continue until 2031.

Council Member Jensen asked about the startup costs.

Mr. Gee stated the committee did a five year projection, but prefers to let the budget committee and the RFP define the exact way that funding will be spent. The intention was to spend maybe $750,000 per year in the first two or three years because there will be certain startup costs that may not be ongoing. Beyond the sales tax increment, there may be opportunities to add to the operating budget through outside funds, partnerships, etc.

Council Member Snelgrove stated he was expecting to see a budget that better defined what revenues are being spent and what the overhead costs would be. The $500,000 per year does not go very far when labor and general administrative expenses come into play. Originally, this was intended to promote the County owned and operated cultural facilities, rather than an expanded role in this footprint.

Council Member Bradshaw stated there were a lot of contributing factors as to why the Council decided to do the Cultural Core. The original discussions involved the new theater that just opened. Another part of the discussion was how to insure the existing arts groups and County facilities would continue to be supported. The goal was to create a funding source to put that in place.

Council Member Snelgrove asked if funds would go directly to arts organizations.

Ms. Yocom stated the interlocal agreement says if organizations receive Zoo, Arts, and Parks (ZAP) money they cannot get funding from Cultural Core.

Council Member Snelgrove stated he would like to see more emphasis put on Salt Lake County facilities. The arts pie is only so big and events are already leaving other County facilities to go to the Eccles Theater. He would like to get more attendance in existing facilities through increased promotion and more dates on the calendar.

Mr. Gee stated part of the original thinking about creating the Cultural Core was that the Eccles Theater would change the ecosystem. And it has. There will be a rebalancing. They are cognizant of that and expect the increase in marketing and promotion will have a positive impact on the performing arts and museums.

Ms. Litvack stated the impetus behind this program was to capitalize attendance at all downtown County venues. One of the goals of Cultural Core marketing is to capitalize on

that growth of people who are coming downtown and share with them the plethora of cultural offerings.

Council Member Snelgrove asked what other U.S. cities have this type of cultural district or was this experiment unique to Salt Lake.

Ms. Yocom stated Houston, Philadelphia, and San Francisco are some of the cities that have cultural districts.

Mr. Gee stated the cultural districts in other cities were started to create what Salt Lake City already has – venues, infrastructure and funding. In that regard Salt Lake is unique. Cultural Core should become connected with the network of other cultural districts around the United States, which are all networked through Americans for the Arts in Washington, DC.

Ms. Yocom stated three of the Cultural Core budget committee members have backgrounds in marketing. It was important to have that asset on the committee.

Council Member Snelgrove stated he applauded this effort and hoped to see a good return on investment.

Council Member DeBry stated the Council needs to see benchmarks along the way to see that taxpayer money is well spent. A lot of County dollars went into the Eccles Theater and there are needs and wants throughout the County. Down the road other cities and municipalities will want the County to give them their fair share.

Council Member Wilson stated this is meant to leverage the existing investment in downtown. She is pleased that Taylorsville City is now going to have its own theater and that the County supported Sandy City with the Amphitheater.

Council Member Newton stated what happens in Salt Lake City has a ripple effect on the rest of the valley. One of the great benefits to the County is tourism. She asked if money for Cultural Core could come from Tourism, Recreation, Cultural and Convention (TRCC) funds or Transient Room Tax (TRT) funds. The problem with using General Fund money is that it is competing against needs for criminal justice and other concerns.

Mr. Casper stated the Council approved the interlocal that would leverage County money with the city’s money for the benefit of County facilities. That was the ultimate purpose of the interlocal. The TRCC fund does qualify for this purpose as well, but TRT is a bit trickier. The various TRT components would have to be investigated.

Council Member Bradshaw stated this is an interlocal agreement that was retooled a couple of years ago. Any change to it would need the approval of Salt Lake City. The money for this has been encumbered.

Committee of the Whole& Budget WorkshopTuesday, December 6, 2016

Council Member Bradley stated Salt Lake City and Salt Lake County are looked upon nationwide as a model. That is the reason companies come to the area. Salt Lake can learn from other cities, but other cities have a great deal to learn from Salt Lake. Money raised in the City is shared countywide, such as with the proposed Taylorsville Regional Theater. Citizens are lucky to have such cultural venues, and it helps bring employers like Goldman Sachs and eBay to the area. This is a critical part of the whole package. When the dollars and cents are added up, the Cultural Core makes great sense.

Council Member Bradshaw, seconded by Council Member Wilson, moved to release the funds as requested at $382,500 and approve the corresponding resolution.

Ms. Yocom stated it is estimated that the $250,000 investment will come back to the County threefold.

Council Member Jensen stated he is supportive of Cultural Core, but will need to see the value and return on investment. In the future he wants to see a lot of detail.

Council Member Bradshaw, seconded by Council Member Wilson, moved to release the funds as requested at $382,500 and approve the corresponding resolution. The motion passed unanimously.

Mr. Gee stated one of the most important metrics to measure the success of Cultural Core is the positive perception of downtown. Those metrics will drill down to some of the outcomes the Council would like to see.

Council Member Jensen stated he would like to know if people come to downtown because of Cultural Core or for another reason, such as a new restaurant. This can be very subjective.

Mr. Gee stated the evaluation methodology is going to need to make sure those perceptions are associated with the arts and cultural or creative place experience that the respondents are having.

Proposed Name Change for Portion of Jordan River Trail (3:38:20 PM)

Council Member Newton stated Chris McCandless built a subdivision in Bluffdale and as part of that project his company finished a part of the Jordan River Trail. The trail is on private and public land. Mr. McCandless named a part of the trail on private land “the Lynn Larsen Trail.” He would now like permission to name the entire trail within his subdivision the same. Lynn Larsen is a former Salt Lake County employee who was very instrumental in making the Jordan River Trail a reality. She is requesting permission to move this request through the naming process as outlined in County Ordinance.

Committee of the Whole& Budget WorkshopTuesday, December 6, 2016

Council Member Bradley asked if this would follow the same process as naming a building after someone.

Mr. Jason Rose, Legal Counsel, Council Office, stated the same ordinance would apply. He would recommend this request be referred to the Parks & Recreation Committee or the Open Space Committee for review.

Council Member Newton, seconded by Council Member Jensen, moved to initiate the process to have the Open Space Committee review this request and come back to the Council with a recommendation, hold a public hearing, and forward the matter to the 4:00 p.m. Council meeting for formal consideration. The motion passed unanimously.

BUDGET WORKSHOP

Sheriff’s Budget Item (2:12:47 PM)

On November 8, 2016, the Council reviewed the request to appropriate $150,000 to create a matching 401k benefit for sworn officers at the jail in the Tier II retirement system. The appropriation was to encourage retention and recruitment.

Council Member Bradley stated implementation date for the appropriation of $150,000 is April 1, 2017, for eligible employees. After discussing the implementation process with Sheriff Jim Winder, some problems have come up where it will be better to postpone implementation.

Sheriff Jim Winder stated he is very grateful that the Council was gracious enough to appropriate $150,000 to give Tier II sworn officers a 401K match. After reviewing the implementation process, it was discovered there will be some unintended consequences that his office will need additional time to better understand. He is requesting that the Council hold off and allow time to review the implementation process and come back mid-year to revisit the appropriation.

Council Member Jensen asked if the problem is logistical.

Sheriff Winder stated yes, depending on how many participate in the 401k, will $150,000 be enough, would it take effect on the anniversary date, the intent is not to turn away a benefit for employees.

Council Member DeBry, seconded by Council Member Granato, moved to set aside $150,000 allocated for Tier II sworn officers 401K until the Sheriff comes back mid-year to present to the Council the best way to utilize the appropriation.

Committee of the Whole& Budget WorkshopTuesday, December 6, 2016

Council Member Jensen stated he would like to see the appropriation used for the 401k of sworn officers.

Council Member DeBry amended the motion to set aside $150,000 for Tier II sworn officers 401k benefit, review the implementation process and present it to the Council mid-year.

Sheriff Winder stated he has never suggested another use for the appropriation. It has always been for Tier II sworn officer’s 401k benefit. The request is to allow staff to review the implementation process and present an update to the Council mid-year.

Council Member DeBry, seconded by Council Member Granato, amended the motion to leave the $150,000 appropriation in the jail organizational budget with a line item that indicates subject to Council review, until mid-year budget when the Sheriff can come back and present an outline for implementing the 401k benefit for Tier II sworn officers. The motion passed unanimously.

Later in the meeting: (3:40:15 PM)

Mr. David Delquadro, Chief Financial Manager, Council Office, stated tonight the Council will be ratifying budget adjustments for 2016. In the past budget adjustments were presented as one list and specific items were highlighted for the Council to look at. This year the Council was presented with budget adjustments every week so they could have the opportunity to review them in more detail.
