Ms. Tammy Diaz spoke under “Citizen Public Input” in opposition to putting the Transportation Sales Tax Ballot Proposal on the ballot because it enables further corruption.

Mr. Dave Golden, Chair, Utah Transportation Coalition, and Wells Fargo, spoke under “Citizen Public Input” in favor of putting the Transportation Sales Tax Ballot Proposal on the ballot. There is a lot to be done over the next 30 years to deal with the dramatic increase of population. Every year that funding is delayed; it costs more in the future.

Ms. Linda Johnson, Breathe Utah, spoke under “Citizen Public Input” in favor of putting the Transportation Sales Tax Ballot Proposal on the ballot. The Utah Transit Authority (UTA) has indicated it would use these funds to increase bus service in the valley. She also expressed concerns regarding ticket prices at ski resorts. Since Solitude was bought out, the price of ski tickets will be going up hundreds of dollars.

Mr. David Burton, Chair, Utah Transit Authority, spoke under “Citizen Public Input” in favor of putting the Transportation Sales Tax Ballot Proposal on the ballot. He stated UTA board members frequently receive requests from the community to improve service. Increasing transit service will help with the quality of life for transit dependent individuals and families. This will help with traffic congestion and air quality. UTA intends to use the resources from the local tax option to improve frequency of bus service, span of bus service, double the bus service for weekends, triple the number of bus shelters on high travel corridors, and increase ride share options.

Mr. George Chapman spoke under “Citizen Public Input” in opposition to putting the Transportation Sales Tax Ballot Proposal on the ballot. He believes that 40 percent of the tax will go to something other than infrastructure. UTA is trying to get funding for street car extensions, a $55 million bus garage, and other projects. This is going to be a disaster at the ballot box. The Council needs to slow down and really think hard about its decision.

Mr. Justin Anderson spoke under “Citizen Public Input” in opposition to putting the Transportation Sales Tax Ballot Proposal on the ballot. Taxes take more dollars out of resident’s pockets and they cannot afford that. UTA has been irresponsible with its funds. It is offensive that residents are being asked to be more frugal so UTA does not have to be.

Mr. Casey Jackson spoke under “Citizen Public Input” in opposition to putting the Transportation Sales Tax Ballot Proposal on the ballot. Voter turnout is low on municipal election years and not every city has something to vote for. When looking at the numbers of voters in each city that vote in a municipal election it shows that Salt Lake City has the majority of the votes. By putting the tax on the ballot, Salt Lake City will be deciding for the entire county.

Mr. Billy Hesterman, Utah Taxpayer Association, spoke under “Citizen Public Input” in opposition to putting the Transportation Sales Tax Ballot Proposal on the ballot. He stated the Taxpayer Association supports an increase in transportation funding at the state, county, and city levels. However, the Legislature should accomplish it in a revenue neutral way. Some type of user fee would be preferable. An additional $6 million is coming into the cities and county next year from the gas tax increase. This revenue will give the cities money to start the crucial projects and give the Legislature time to get the right funding in place.

Ms. Evelyn Everton, Director, Americans for Prosperity, spoke under “Citizen Public Input” in opposition to putting the Transportation Sales Tax Ballot Proposal on the ballot. The tax has been promoted to Salt Lake County families as a small burden; however, that is not the case. It will cost a family of four, $200 a year, which could be used to buy various basic necessity’s that low income families need. Last year an ordinance was passed that prohibited putting tax increases on a municipal ballot year. Putting it on the ballot this year will allow it to slip through without sufficient citizen input. She spoke to resident Patricia Potter who said she cannot afford to give anymore; she lives on a fixed income and literally has nothing left.

Mr. Colton Hatch spoke under “Citizen Public Input” in opposition to putting the Transportation Sales Tax Ballot Proposal on the ballot. By placing this initiative on the ballot, the Council is allowing UTA to give bigger bonuses.

Mr. Kyle Shannon spoke under “Citizen Public Input” in opposition to putting the Transportation Sales Tax Ballot Proposal on the ballot. UTA is wasteful and will increase its pay. It is not in the best interest of citizens to support this type of tax.

Mr. Steve Van Maren spoke under “Citizen Public Input” stating the Interlocal agreement with Sandy City to provide $6,000,000 for public parking needed to be looked into further. Sandy City’s resolution for the tax increase of a quarter cent tax listed several projects, but this is not one of them. The parking garage is not a priority of Sandy City.

− − − − − − − − − − − − − −

Ms. Leslie Whited, Mosaic Inter-Faith Ministries, spoke under “Citizen Public Input” stated the Community Access Technology (CAT) Lab has helped a number of citizens who are at poverty level. It helps bridge the technology gap to allow a better quality of life. Adding typing classes to the CAT Lab would make a difference for those who are jobless. She encouraged the Council to leave the CAT Lab open.

♦♦♦ ♦♦♦ ♦♦♦ ♦♦♦ ♦♦♦

Mayor Ben McAdams spoke under “Report of County Mayor.” He stated stakeholders were brought together to watch the Mountain Accord signing. The Mountain Accord will be the framework for the central Wasatch area. Some of the recommendations in the study will be implemented while others require further study.

The Council reviewed a request to contribute $5,000 to the Utah Tibetan Association from the General Fund to assist in completing the construction of the Tibetan Community Center in South Salt Lake City.

[Council Member Burdick, seconded by Council Member Newton, moved to approve a $2,500 contribution from the Council’s Contribution Fund to the Utah Tibetan Association. Council Member Jensen amended the motion to ask Mr. Cox to see what he could get done with the $2,500, and if he needed more funds, to come back and the Council would see if it could find the other $2,500. Council Member Burdick accepted the amendment. The motion passed unanimously.] The Council motion passed unanimously, showing that all Council Members present voted “Aye.”

♦♦♦ ♦♦♦ ♦♦♦ ♦♦♦ ♦♦♦

Mr. Brian Maxwell, Council Aide, submitted a letter requesting approval of the appointment of Chad Wixom as a deputy constable under Constable Larry Bringhurst.

Council Member Bradshaw, seconded by Council Member Bradley, moved to ratify the vote taken in the Committee of the Whole meeting. [Council Member Granato, seconded by Council Member Jensen, moved to approve the appointment and forward it to the 4:00 p.m. Council meeting for formal consideration. The motion passed unanimously. Council Members Wilson and Bradley were absent for the vote.] The Council motion passed unanimously, requesting Mr. Wixom take his oath at the County Clerk’s Office, showing that all Council Members present voted “Aye.”

The Council reviewed the community preservation voter information pamphlet.

Council Member Bradshaw, seconded by Council Member Bradley, moved to ratify the vote taken in the Committee of the Whole meeting. [Council Member Newton, seconded by Council Member Granato, moved that the County mail out a voter information pamphlet to every household with a registered voter, and that a press release and emails to the unincorporated areas be issued to solicit arguments for the ballot questions. The arguments will need to be consolidated for the islands. If this is problematic, then the Council can look at it on a case-by-case basis. A third postcard will not be sent out unless there are last minute concerns that need to be addressed. The Council will continue to include the glossary of terms on the back of the maps. The motion passed unanimously. Council Member Bradley and Wilson were absent for the vote.] The Council motion passed unanimously, showing that all Council Members present voted “Aye.”
