From YouTube: Mayor's Development Roundtable 2012 - Part 1 of 6
Description
Mayor Mick Cornett hosts the 11th Annual Mayor's Development Roundtable.
A
This
is
the
11th
mayor's
development.
Roundtable
I've
had
that
the
pleasure
of
hosting
the
the
last
9
of
mayor
Humphreys
down
here,
sitting
up
front
and
you'll,
be
hearing
from
him
later
hosted
the
first
two
and
I
remember
coming
to
those
those
events
and
just
filling
up
pages
and
pages
of
notes,
I'm
a
note
taker
by
trade
and
by
habit
and
I.
Remember
thinking
this
information
is
just
not
readily
available
anywhere
else
and
we
have
tried
to
maintain
that
vision.
A
Throughout
the
years
we
tried
to
make
this
a
gathering
place
so
that
everyone
gets
all
the
information
that's
available.
We
want
you
to
have
opinions
from
civic
leaders,
civic
leaders
here,
civic
leaders
around
the
country.
We
also
want
you
to
hear
from
our
staff
and
our
elected
leaders
about
the
types
of
programs
that
we
see
coming.
We
all
know
about
the
tremendous
amount
of
construction.
A
Today
we
have
gathered
up
a
wonderful
list
of
people
to
speak
today,
and
one
of
the
selling
points,
I,
think
of
getting
great
speakers
is
to
tell
them
who's
going
to
be
in
the
audience,
and
the
idea
of
this
audience
is
to
get
the
real
estate
developers,
the
planners,
the
bankers,
the
people
in
our
community,
who
can
really
make
great
development
happen
all
in
the
room.
At
the
same
time,
we
think
the
information
and
opinions
are
important
but
I
think.
A
Most
importantly,
this
is
a
great
networking
opportunity
and
I
love
the
idea
of
people,
seeing
each
other
here,
hearing
about
ideas
and
starting
to
think
about
what
their
next
project
might
be.
I
think
that's
very,
very
powerful.
We
will
be
continuing
the
2020
lightning
rounds
that
seem
to
be
so
popular
last
year.
That's
when
a
presenter
has
20,
slides
and
20
seconds
on
each
slide,
and
it
allows
you
to
kind
of
get
an
update
very
very
quickly
on
some
important
projects
that
are
going
on.
A
I
hope,
you'll
enjoy
that
we
also
will
have
opportunities
for
you
today
to
give
us
feedback
on
what
you
like
and
what
you
don't
like,
and
that
will
help
us
better
program.
Next
year,
right
before
lunch,
we're
going
to
hold
a
super
panel.
Roundtable
you'll
be
able
to
ask
speakers
some
questions,
you'll
note
on
your
table.
A
There
are
some
cards
somewhere
and,
if
you'll
find
those
cards,
you'll
be
able
to
write
out
questions
and
the
way
we'll
do
the
Q&A
is
that
you'll
hold
the
question
and
somebody
will
come
around
and
take
it
from
you
and
then
we'll
rush
the
question
up
and
get
to
as
many
of
them
as
we
as
we
can.
We
do
have
a
tremendous
lineup
of
speakers
today
and
we
will
get
started
with
that
right
now.
Our
first
kickoff
speaker
is
the
mayor
of
Salt
Lake,
City
Utah.
A
You
know
a
lot
of
Mayors
have
a
long
learning
curve
takes
a
long
time
to
kind
of
generate
the
level
of
knowledge
to
be
able
to
be
able
to
handle
the
diverse
backgrounds
and
a
list
of
information
and
duties
of
being
a
large
city
mayor.
But
this
mayor
had
a
very
short
learning
curve.
He
served
at
the
Utah
State
planning
coordinator
under
Governor
Scott
Matheson.
Then
he
had
gone
on
to
launch
his
own
salt
lake
city-based.
Consulting
firm
bear
West,
which
specialized
in
community
planning
he's
also
worked
on
environmental
assessment.
A
Public
land
use
public
involvement,
all
of
that
before
launching
into
a
political
career.
He
has
been
three
years
in
the
mayor
of
Salt
Lake
City
and
he
has
already
greatly
expanded
the
transportation
options
available
to
the
city's
residents.
He's
had
a
special
focus
on
public
transit
trails
and
bikeways.
He
is
a
leader
who
has
already
made
and
will
continue
to
make
collaboration
and
partnerships
an
essential
element
to
the
efforts
of
making
salt
lake
city
a
world-class
City.
A
It
is
already
pretty
vibrant
livable,
a
very
sustainable
community
and
its
residents
are
very,
very
proud
of
the
city
they've
created
and
they're,
especially
proud
of
their
mayor
here,
to
talk
about
implementing
salt
lake
city's
community
vision.
Please
help
me
welcome
the
mayor
of
Salt
Lake
City,
Ralph
Becker.
C
You
all
so
much
for
allowing
me
to
join.
You
I've
got
to
tell
you
I
just
started
my
second
term
and
when
I
became
mayor
as
most
mayor's
do
of
larger
cities
join
the
US
Conference
of
Mayors,
and
we
all
have
affinities
towards
different
folks
and
feel
like
we
learn
from
other
folks.
Mayor
cornet
I
can
tell
you
among
mayor's
is
a
giant
among
mayor's.
We
not
only
look
up
doing.
C
But
we
also
look
at
what's
going
on
here
in
Oklahoma,
City
and
admire
what's
happening
here
and
and
I
can
just
tell
you
I
every
time
I
have
a
chance
to
sit
down
and
visit
with
Mayor
cornet,
which
is
pretty
regularly.
We've
been
able
to
interact
quite
a
bit,
I
feel
like
I,
come
away
with
ideas
of
things.
I
can
be
doing
in
my
city
and
benefit
from
as
well
as
just
his
general
approach,
which
obviously
you've
all
benefited
from
and
and
looking
at
Oklahoma
City
is
is
remarkable.
C
I
first
was
coming
through
Oklahoma
City
in
the
early
1970s
I
was
living,
I
was
work,
I
was
going
to
school
in
pennsylvania,
and
I
was
working
out
of
the
grand
canyon
and
my
main
means
of
transportation
getting
back
and
forth
between
school
and
my
summer.
Job
was
to
hitchhike
across
the
country
on
us.
So
I'd
come
down
to
us
40
to
take
it
all
the
way
across
and
oklahoma
city
was
a
little
different
place,
then,
as
is
true,
maybe
for
all
of
our
cities.
C
C
Salt
lake
city
is
very
similar
in
many
respects,
and
I
work
see
if
I
could
work
my
way
through
this
out
to
Oklahoma
City.
We
are
both
capital
cities
and
that
is
both
an
honor.
If
there's
prestige,
that
comes
being
a
capital
city
like
Oklahoma
City,
we
are
the
largest
city
in
the
state.
We
are
the
center
for
not
only
our.
C
Our
Valley,
but
really
for
a
whole
region
and
that
regional
center
brings
enormous
benefits,
Salt
Lick,
as
many
of
you
know
really
when
we
founded
it
was
when
when
Valley
was
first
settled,
it
was
not
even
part
of
united
states.
Actually
Mormons
were
seeking
refuge
from
from
persecution
they
had
faced.
Is
they
had
kind
of
started
and
moved
across
the
east
in
the
Midwest
and
were
literally
burned
out
of
every
every
community?
C
They
started
and
said
they
are
looking
for
a
place
where
they
could
be
alone
and
they
ended
up
settling
out
in
the
middle
of
the
Great
Basin,
on
the
edge
of
the
Great
Basin
in
the
Rocky
Mountains
in
a
in
the
in
1847
before
that
was
even
part
of
the
United
States
the
next
year.
It
became
part
of
the
United
States,
but
as
a
result
that
when
the
city
was
founded,
it
was
and
establish.
It
really
was
a
theocracy.
I
mean
the
Mormon.
Church
ran
the
world
of
this.
C
This
part
of
the
country
and
and
its
unique
as
a
capital
city,
in
that
every
major
state
institution
was
located
in
Salt,
Lake
City.
So
a
lot
of
people
don't
realize,
but
when,
when
states
formed,
the
state
institutions
get
scattered
around
the
state
right,
so
the
the
university
goes
one
place
and
the
corrections
facility
goes
somewhere
else.
The
capital
city
goes
somewhere
else.
C
But
it
also
presents
challenges
and
you
may
face
the
same
things
in
Oklahoma
City.
The
majority
of
our
property
in
salt
lake
city
is
non-taxable
because
there's
so
much
governmental,
oh
so
many
governmental
institutions
and,
of
course,
is
the
home
of
the
LDS
Church
wishes
and
many
other
nonprofit
organizations
which
are
not
non-taxable
in
terms
of
their
property.
It
also
has
the
second
largest
increase
in
daytime
population
of
any
city
in
the
country,
so
our
commuters
coming
in
double
our
population
every
single
day.
C
Unfortunately,
from
our
point
of
view-
and
hopefully
you
don't
face
this
in
Oklahoma
City,
but
our
our
tax
structure
in
the
state
doesn't
reflect
that
daytime
population.
Much
of
the
the
tax
distribution
is
based
on
population
resident
population.
So
we've
got
some
challenges
associated
with
being
a
capital
city
and
it
makes
partnerships
and
it
makes
being
appreciated,
hopefully
and
getting
along
with
our
neighbors
of
utmost
importance
to
accomplish
what
we.
What
we
want
to
be
able
to
do
as
a
city.
C
C
We
have
been
following
oklahoma
city,
thunder
from
the
time
that
the
franchise
moved
here
and
you
have
these
exceptional
young
young
players
that
you've
been
able
to
hold,
keep
together
and
develop,
and
we
now
hope
week
with
a
great
young
talent
in
utah.
I
think
everyone
was
kind
of
surprised,
as
was
the
first
time
Oklahoma
City
Thunder
made
the
playoffs
that
the
Jazz
made
the
playoffs
I
can
tell
you.
I
am
rooting
for
the
Thunder
small,
relatively
small
small
city
franchise,
and
it
is
so
exciting
to
watch
the
Oklahoma
City
Thunder.
C
So
what
is
it
that
for
for
us
and
I?
Think
for
certainly
all
communities
that
lead
to
success?
Success
is
a
community
in
terms
of
where
everyone
lives
and
loves
to
live
for
businesses
to
be
successful,
and
so
also
I'm
going
to
speak
very
much
now
for
a
while,
my
chance
to
brag
about
my
city
a
bit
and
things
that
are
happening.
Certainly
with
our
city,
like
oklahoma
city,
we
have
whether
a
dis
recession
unbelievably
well,
I
was
just
learning
your
unemployment
rates
down
under
five
percent.
C
Only
two
cities,
the
united
states,
made
that
list.
We
have
been
named
by
newsweek
and
forbes
magazine
and
others
as
one
of
the
top
job
markets
in
the
in
the
country.
So
we're
doing
really
well,
and
these
factors
that
you
see
listed
here
are
all
important
features.
I
think,
in
terms
of
the
reasons
for
our
success
and
I
want
to
focus
on
one
that
is,
is
kind
of
unique
to
Salt
Lake
City.
C
We
are
a
true
mountain
city
and
those
mountains
give
us
not
only
incredible
natural
setting
and
sense
of
place,
but
opportunities
that
are
unique
to
our
city
and
every
city.
Has
these
the
natural
or
features,
whether
it's
your
physical
geography
or
your
location
or
aspects
about
your
city
and
for
us
you
know,
I
mentioned
the
Winter
Olympics
we've
got
ski
resorts
and
our
mountains
literally
outside
of
our
doorsteps,
and
it
serves
as
all
of
our
backyards.
C
So
that's
a
feature
that
is
kind
of
unique
to
Salt
Lake
that
we
work
to
certainly
de
capitalize
on
I'll
just
mention
I'm
going
to
be
going
through
in
some
more
detail.
Here's
a
list
of
some
of
the
kinds
of
things
that
are
kind
of
our
building
blocks
in
Salt,
Lake
City
I,
mentioned
that
the
flagship
university
for
the
state
is
insult.
Lence
alt,
like
the
University
of
Utah,
that
is
the
largest
source
of
spin-off
jobs,
of
any
of
any
really
university
in
the
whole
country.
C
We
surpassed
MIT
a
few
years
ago
and
it
is
a
great
source
of
creativity
and
we
know
in
the
creative
economy
of
today
how
important
that
is.
Arts
and
culture
is
something
that
is
at
the
heart
of
I,
know
what
you
focus
on
here
in
Oklahoma
City
and
is
as
well
in
Salt
Lake
I'm
going
to
be
getting
into
these
in
some
more
detail,
but
just
to
put
it
in
perspective,
there
are
more
pianos
per
capita
in
Utah
than
any
other
state
in
the
country.
C
C
Our
Airport,
if
you
put
your
finger
down
in
the
middle
of
the
western
US,
you
would
land
on
Salt
Lake
City,
so
it
has
been
the
transportation
crossroads
of
the
west
for
a
long
time.
In
many
many
respects,
and
our
Airport
is
certainly
a
big
part
of
that
I'm
going
to
talk
more
about
transit
in
a
little
while
and
spinning
out
of
the
university
of
health
sciences.
C
Complex,
our
medical
and
technology
areas
are
exploding,
we're
a
biotech
a
center
in
the
country,
one
of
them,
and
that
is
really
one
of
the
major
sources
for
new
businesses
for
us,
as
well
as
we're
proud
to
say
that
we're
the
home
of
a
Nobel
Prize
laureate
as
well,
and
like
most
major
cities,
we
are
the
Financial
Services
Center
for
for
the
community
about
all
of
these
things.
It's
a
matter
of
you
know.
C
From
my
perspective
and
from
where
I
sit
as
mayor,
it's
a
matter
of
looking
at
both
what
we
have
as
a
community
and
really
building
using
that
as
our
basic
building
block
for
our
future
current
projects.
We
just
opened
a
month
ago,
the
city
creek
center
in
downtown
Salt
Lake.
It's
a
22-acre
development.
C
It
is
over
1.5
billion
dollars.
The
property
is
owned
by
the
LDS
Church,
so
we
never
learned
full
numbers
whenever
they're
involved
in
things
that
tend
to
keep
it
pretty
secret,
but
it
is,
and
it
is
an
amazing
Downtown
Development
and
because
they
work
in
the
cash
world
they
just
they
never
we
they
never
even
recognize.
There
is
a
recession
except
to
give
them
more
money
to
work
with,
because
construction
costs
came
down,
but
it
is
a
mixed-use
development.
C
It's
and
it
has
more
than
several
hundred
thousand
square
feet
of
a
retail
residential
and
office
I'll
be
getting
you
that
more
utah
performing
arts
center,
I'm
just
going
to
kind
of
go
through
these
really
quickly
or
and
I'll
come
back
them.
Utah
performing
arts
center
is
something
I've
been
working
on
since
I
came
into
office.
The
111
Main
Street
is
a
project
that
is
associated
with
our
performing
arts
center
development.
C
The
city
just
acquired
an
old
bonville
theater
called
the
Utah
theater
to
both
save
it
and
to
put
it
back
into
use,
we're
doing
a
restoration
of
our
old,
beautiful
historic
dear
to
the
Capitol
Theater,
and
we
are
working
on
a
convention
hotel.
So
a
lot
of
major
projects
going
on
here
and
they're
spread
throughout
our
city
in
our
downtown.
Our
major
development
has
kind
of
moved
to
the
western
part
of
downtown,
and
that's
the
Depot
district
at
granite
district
be
talking
some
more
about
some
of
these
projects.
C
So
I
won't
go
into
them
in
detail
here,
but
you
can
see
there's
a
long
list
of
things
that
are
happening
or
just
completing
in
in
Salt
Lake
City.
So
let
me
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
city
creek
center.
It's
a
joint
venture
of
the
LDS
Church.
The
retail
is
operated
by
tavern,
which
is
largest
retail
operated
operator
in
a
country
when
they
open.
When
we
opened
a
month
or
so
ago.
It
is
the
first
major
retail
development
project.
C
That's
been
open
in
the
last
four
years,
I
mean
it
shows
you
what
the
condition
of
our
economy
has
been,
but
also
quite
remarkable.
Remarkable
I
mentioned
the
the
to
our
footage
and
you
know
like
most
when
they
first
came
to
us.
It
was
kind
of
a
mall
development
and
we
said
you
know
this
is
downtown.
What
we
need
and
want
downtown
is
not
an
insulated
kind
of
development,
but
something
that
is
integrated
as
part
of
our
downtown
and
only
the
LDS
Church
or
someone
like
them.
A
huge
institution
like
this
can
do
this.
C
They
step
back
for
a
year
and
completely
redesign
their
development
added
residential
and
reoriented
the
project
to
be
both
interior
to
be
not
only
accessible
through
nice
corridors,
visual
and
pedestrian
corridors
to
the
outside.
But
then
also
all
of
the
storefronts
on
the
outside
of
the
blocks
got
energized
and
invigorated,
but
it
is
already
remarkable
and
kind
of
the
end
of
of
other
parts
of
our
of
our
region.
C
The
public
safety
building
is
a
is
a
really
interesting
project
for
the
city.
When
I
the
year,
I
got
elected
to
office,
a
bond
to
build
a
new
Public,
Safety,
Building
failed,
and
so
one
of
the
first
things
I
did
even
before
I
was
sitting
formally
in
the
seat,
was
to
sit
down
and
evaluate
what
happened,
what
the
project
was,
and
we
concluded,
we
really
needed
the
building
that
that
wasn't.
The
problem
we
had
a
building
literally
was
falling
apart.
C
The
joke
and
the
fire
and
the
police
department
was,
would
they
get
stuck
in
the
elevators
on
their
way
to
to
getting
out
to
the
scene
of
the
of
the
crimes
or
emergency
responses
they
needed
to
get
to?
They
were
in
that
dilapidated
a
building,
and
so
we
brought
it
back
and
trimmed
down.
Basically,
a
200
million
dollar
project
to
125
million
dollar
project
brought
it
back
to
the
voters,
and
this
was
against
mayor.
Cornett
will
appreciate
this
against
the
advice
of
almost
everyone.
C
I
said:
we've
got
to
get
this
thing
back
out
there
and
just
do
a
better
job
of
explaining
to
the
public
that
need
and
do
a
better
job
of
assessing
costs,
and
so
we
had
our
Chamber
of
Commerce
and
our
taxpayers
association,
which
never
supports
any
increase
in
taxes
in
our
community,
supporting
it
in
the
end
and
it
passed
in
2009
with
over
sixty
percent
of
the
vote.
So
we
were
very
pleased
with
that.
It's
obviously
a
large
project.
It
includes
an
emergency
operation.
C
Center
is
now
under
construction,
and
it
will
be
the
first
net
zero
public
safety
building
in
the
country.
Net
Zero
is
becoming
more
common,
but
the
demands
the
energy
demands
of
a
building
that
needs
to
not
only
be
survivable
but
as
enormous
communications
requirements,
as
well
as
an
ability
to
withstand
virtually
anything
that
may
hit
it,
hopefully
not
literally,
is-
is
really
particularly
demanding
for
us.
That's
under
construction,
it's
really
fun
to
see
it.
Go
up.
C
I've,
never
seen
such
massive
steel
in
my
life
on
a,
but
we
are
not
we're
in
a
high
seismic
zone,
so
it
needs
to
survive
an
awful
lot.
So
that's
scheduled
to
open
actually
in
the
spring
of
next
year,
about
a
year
from
now,
I
started
to
mention
the
Utah
Performing
Arts
Center.
When
I
came
into
office
the
the
year
that
that
that
I
was
elected
in
2007,
the
the
Chamber
of
Commerce
really
led
a
a
downtown
planning
effort
called
downtown
rising
and
what
they
ended
up
with,
which
is
different
than
many
plans.
C
As
they
said,
they
focused
on
eight
signature
projects.
They
thought
would
help
kind
of
bring
us
to
the
next
level
as
a
city
I,
almost
in
a
foolhardy
way
said:
okay,
let's,
let's
try
see
if
we
can
make
this
happen
and
I
don't
know
what
it's
like
in
your
community,
but
particularly
in
tough
economic
times.
C
That's
focusing
on
touring
shows
chewing
broadway
and
many.
The
turing
shows
that
that
we
really
cannot
accommodate
well
in
our
current
in
our
current
experience
in
downtown
Salt
Lake
associated
with
that
is
a
tower.
That
is
probably
we're
coordinating
the
development,
but
probably
will
not
happen
at
the
same
time,
and
both
of
these
are
actually
right
across
the
street
from
the
city
creek
to
center.
I
was
mentioning
I
mentioned
that
we
acquired
an
old
theater.
It's
an
old
vaudeville
theater.
C
We
are
looking
at
the
uses
for
that
now
and
it's
obviously
going
to
be
a
major
undertaking
to
redevelop
it,
but
we
have
to
film
organizations
in
addition
to
sundance,
which
everyone
knows
about
kind
of
internationally.
At
this
point-
and
this
we
are
hoping
will
be
a
home
for
our
film
endeavors
in
the
city
as
well
as
a
blossoming
really
burgeoning
at
this
point.
C
Digital
media
were
one
of
the
homes
for
a
lot
of
disney
productions
and
disney
development
on
digital
media
and
our
university
and
in
our
community
college,
are
both
producing
for
us
as
a
community,
a
whole
new
realm
of
business
and
we're
hoping
all
of
that
may
be,
can
be
located
in
this
utah
theater.
The
capital
theo
you'll,
see
on
the
right
in
this
pictures
are
beautiful
old
century
old
theater.
We
are
and
serves
as
the
home
for
our
ballet
and
opera.
C
C
C
Visiting
group,
the
outdoor
retailers
association,
which
brings
in
over
40
million
dollars
a
year
in
indirect
revenues
to
the
city
through
through
its
this
participation
there,
and
that
is
one
industry.
Through
this
recession
that
has
been
growing
at
double-digit
rates,
and
so
they
are
continue
expanding
in
terms
of
their
that
industry
and
they
love
coming
to
salt
lake
at
large
part
because
of
our
proximity
to
the
mountains
and
the
deserts
where
they
can
show
off
their
products
more
easily
and
where
they
can
go
have
fun
when
they
are
finished.
C
When
they're
finished,
with
their
work
associated
with
the
outdoor
retailers
association
but
they're,
also
very
demanding,
because
they're
grown
so
fast,
they
need
more
space
and
one
of
the
ways
we're
looking
at
provide
for
that
as
well
as
providing
for
our
increasing
convention
business.
All
the
time
is,
through
a
convention
hotel
again
in
downtown.
C
We
have
some
other
areas
that
are
under
development:
I'm,
going
to
talk
a
little
bit
in
a
minute
about
our
transit
system,
which
has
gotten
a
lot
of
notoriety
nationally,
but
between
our
new
intermodal
hub
or
central
station,
as
we
call
it
where
we
bring.
All
of
our
rail
and
buses
together
in
one
location
now
in
the
west
part
of
downtown
and
an
old
railroad
station,
is
an
area
called
Depot
district
which
is
really
ripe
for
redevelopment
and
we're.
C
We've
worked
through
a
lot
of
our
designs
and
planning
and
now
we're
looking
to
attract
the
right,
the
right
mix
of
businesses
to
to
locate
there.
We
are
just
completing
now
a
light
rail
line
from
our
airport
to
downtown
I'm
going
to
spend.
Let
me
just
spend
a
minute
here
talking
about
light
rail
in
in
Utah,
because,
like
most
places,
particularly
in
the
West
people,
figured
people
aren't
going
to
ride
rail
transit
isn't
going
to
work.
C
We
went
through
a
failed
referendum
and
then
the
our
transit
agency
had
the
gumption
to
say
we're
going
to
build
it
anyway
with
existing
revenues
and
it
got
the
general
manager
fired,
but
from
the
day
it
opened,
it
was
an
enormous
success.
Not
only
was
the
project
on
budget
and
on
time,
but
the
ridership
doubled
projections.
So
we
built
a
light
rail
line.
A
first
light
rail
line
down
the
middle
of
our
Valley
has
the
spine
of
a
rail
system.
C
Since
then,
we
added
a
line
from
downtown
up
to
the
University.
That's
got
an
extended
to
our
health
sciences,
complex,
which
is
associated
with
their
University
next
to
it
just
above
it
and
and
then
the
community
has
been
so
supportive
of
our
rail
investment
that
they
time
and
time
again
now
with
large
majorities.
The
vote
have
been
supporting
expansion
to
the
system.
C
So
we
we
finished
a
commuter
rail
line,
going
north
of
40
or
50
miles
two
years
ago,
and
then
we
are
now
completing
70
miles
of
rail
line
by
2015
will
actually
all
be
done.
It
looks
like
by
2014,
including
this
Airport
light
rail
line
that
include
a
commuter
rail
line,
going
40
miles
south
five
additional
Spurs
to
our
light
rail
line.
C
One
of
them
is
to
the
airport
from
downtown,
and
it
is
one
of
those
things
that
helps
establish
this
this
as
a
as
a
major
national,
maybe
hopefully
international
at
some
point
level
City,
because
people
people
want
easy
access
when
they
come
to
your
community
and
having
good
transit.
Having
particularly
good
Raila's
is
a
way
to
do
that,
but
we
have
had
enormous
success
with
light
rail,
and
this
will
only
obviously
add
to
it
when
we
open
next
year.
Interestingly,
these
are
reflection
of
the
tough
economic
times
in
terms
of
revenues.
C
We
will
complete
actually
the
airport
light
rail
line
this
year,
but
the
revenues
which
are
sales
tax
revenues
for
sixty
percent
of
the
transit
agency's
operations
are
down
enough.
They
can't
actually
open
the
line
until
sometime
next
year,
just
because
they
don't
have
the
revenues
to
operate
it,
even
though
we'll
have
it
completed.
C
C
Some
of
these
are
projects
that
have
thought
of
it
and
worked
on
for
years
and
that
the
streetcar
line
has
just
been
the
impetus
to
get
them
going
more
quickly.
We
share
this
line
with
the
community
next
to
a
south
salt
lake
and
they
have
a
similar
type
of
amount
of
investment.
It
is
they
call
streetcars,
they
talk.
C
We
talk
about
transit,
oriented
development
in
the
in
the
transit
world
street
cars
that
we
call
it
development-oriented
transit
because
for
whatever
reason
and
I
don't
really
claim
to
understand
why
it
it
spurs
development,
unlike
almost
any
other
kind
of
infrastructure.
So
we're
really
excited
about
that
as
part
of
it.
Although
it's
this,
this
is
the
first
of
three
streetcar
lines
that
are
in
and
design
and
development.
We
have
one
inner.
C
This
one
is
in
the
south
part
of
the
city
in
an
old
railroad
corridor
with
a
pedestrian
and
trail
it'll
connect
our
mountains
to
our
river.
In
the
middle
of
the
valley,
we
have
one
in
downtown
Salt
Lake,
and
then
we
have
one
that
will
go
up
into
the
suburbs
just
to
the
north,
all
in
different
stages
and
obviously
we're
looking
towards
re-establishing
that
network
I
mentioned
that
salt
lake
city
is
kind
of
the
crossroads
of
the
west
is
has
all
kinds
of
transportation
opportunities.
C
We
have
the
think
it's
the
15th
largest
airport
in
the
country
in
volume
of
traffic,
and
we
just
announced
I
just
announced
in
January
a
complete
reconstruction
of
the
airport.
All
the
terminals
parking
rental
car
facilities
is
a
1.8
billion
dollar
project
everything,
but
the
runways
basically
is
being
is
being
rebuilt.
C
We're
obviously
excited
to
get
that
going
and
it'll
serve
us
for
a
long
long
time
to
come.
We
a
key
for
economic
development,
I.
Think
all
of
us
who
worked
in
downtown
arena
is
no
is
as
having
a
24-7
population.
It's
great
to
have
visitors,
it's
great
to
have
the
daytime
businesses,
but
people
want
that
vibrancy
in
downtown
most
of
our
western
cities,
kind
of
moved
away
from
that
and
when
I
first
moved
to
Salt
Lake
in
the
early
1970s,
it
was
this
bustling
downtown
over
the
course
of
a
couple
of
decades.
C
Much
of
the
development
moved
into
the
suburban
areas,
which
is
fine,
and
that
was
sort
of
the
pattern
of
growth
that
we
had
over
that
period
of
time,
but
our
downtown
dwindled
and
what
we're
seeing
now
is
a
reversal
of
that
trend
and
I
think
we're
seeing
that
across
the
country,
our
downtown
residential
development.
We
we
almost
can't
keep
up
with
right
now.
C
We
literally
have
probably,
in
the
last
year
of
projects
that
are
under
construction
or
completed
a
couple
of
thousand
units
of
residential
development,
everything
from
very
affordable
units
too
much
higher
end
than
we've
ever
seen
in
downtown
Salt
Lake,
a
couple
million
dollar
penthouse
kind
of
units,
and
they
are
selling
and
doing
well,
and
the
apartments
are
doing
well
and
it's
two
parts
of
the
demographics
that
are
really
seeking
downtown.
It's
the
empty
nesters
who
are
tired
of
mowing
their
lawns
and
their
kids
are
gone
and
they
don't
need
a
big
house.
C
They
want
more
urban
urban
lifestyle
and
then
this
younger
generation
is
is
particularly
attracted
to
an
urban
lifestyle.
My
son
is
reflective
that
who's
30
years
old.
He
made
a
decision
to
move
downtown.
So
many
of
his
friends
did
they
want
to
live
in
a
place
where
there's
a
lot
of
activity
and
having
good
transportation
access
is
a
key,
so
they
can
get
to
wherever
they
want
either
in
the
car
or
by
transit.
C
A
lot
of
this
is
spinning
out
of
the
university
and
other
industries,
but
a
lot
of
composites
composites
in
aerospace,
development
and
then
outdoor
products
we're
seeing
companies
who
come
for
the
outdoor
retailers
are
looking
for
an
environment
where
they
have
access
to
test
their
products
really
easily
and
also
their
employees
like
to
be
in
an
outdoor
recreational
environment,
locating
in
in
Salt
Lake
and
in
our
area.
The
distribution
and
manufacturing
development
has
continued
right
through
this
this
recession.
C
C
Is
people
being
able
to
walk
down
to
a
coin,
restore
or
pick
up
their
dry
cleaning
or
take
their
kids
to
a
park
or
get
whatever
services
they
want
within
their
neighborhood
and
the
interaction
that
comes
in
meeting
their
neighbors,
which
you
know
is
something
most
of
us
really
want
and
enjoy
happens
a
lot
more.
So
we
are
focusing
now
in
many
instances
of
recreating
what
a
hundred
years
ago
were
neighborhood
neighborhood
business
districts.
C
We
have
some
of
them,
so
they
serve
as
great
models
because
people
love
them
and
there's
some
of
the
most
attractive
areas
in
the
city
to
live
and
in
some
areas
where
they
have
become
more
strip
mall
developments.
We
are
redoing
the
infrastructure
around
those
areas
with
trail
connections
with
bringing
the
businesses
to
the
street
front,
to
helping
support
through
a
whole
variety
of
programs,
whether
that's
marketing
or
loan
programs,
the
redevelopment
of
those
areas
and
are
doing
it
in
partnership
with
students
and
schools
and
it's
working.
C
But
it
is
a
slow
process,
but
we're
really
seeing
some
very
nice
success
with
that
and
at
Kenner
balances,
where
we're
seeing
other
really
good
success.
The
now
the
second
largest
Goldman
Sachs
office
in
the
Americas
is
in
Salt
Lake
City
they've
grown
from
a
very
small
just
local
office
to
a
large
and
growing
service
area
for
for
Goldman
Sachs,
and
we
were
fortunate
to
have
them
located
in
downtown
Salt
Lake
and
they
now
have
2,200
employees
in
downtown.
C
It's
reestablishing
itself
not
only
as
the
center
for
commerce
but
as
the
center
for
activity
of
all
kinds,
and
there
is
a
new
vibrancy
downtown
like
so
many
western
cities,
particularly
our
downtown
at
night,
was
pretty
quiet
ten
years
ago
today
and
I
think
the
change
started
when
I
really
when
it
really
started
to
feel
the
difference.
A
couple
of
years
ago.
There
are
always
people
on
the
streets,
whether
it's
going
to
restaurants,
where
there's
going
to
show
us
what
it's
going
to
jazz
games
or
majorly
soccer.
C
Whatever
might
be,
we
have
people
continually
downtown
and,
of
course,
having
people
live.
Downtown
makes
a
huge
difference
there
and
then
a
lot
of
things
to
get
sponsored
by
the
city.
We've
had
a
summer
concert
series
called
the
Twilight
series
and
they
figure
they
are
getting
two
or
three
thousand
people.
They
finally
did
account
because
it
was
overflowing
in
their
location.
They
had
18,000
people
there.
C
We
were
redeveloping
that
center
called
gallivan
center
in
downtown
and
moved
it
to
a
park
and
the
night
we
opened.
We
had
40,000
people
at
our
first
concert,
we're
averaging
that
now
for
our
concerts
in
this
concert
series,
but
you
bring
that
many
people.
You
know
it's
like
for
a
thunder
game,
you,
but
you
double
it
right.
You
bring
that
many
people
downtown,
and
you
know
what
that
does
for
the
sense
of
excitement
and
and
generation
of
activity.
C
It's
funny
I'm
a
cyclist
and
and
commute
to
work
by
bicycle
and
so
I'm
always
paying
attention
kind
of
what's
happening
with
our
with
our
biking
infrastructure
and
making
a
lot
of
improvements
there.
But
when
we
have
these
twilight-series
literally
for
two
blocks
all
around
the
twilight-series,
you
cannot
find
a
post
without
two
or
three
bikes
attached
to
it
and
that's
in
addition
to
having
sort
of
a
valet
service
for
bikes
that
hold
several
hundred.
It's
really
amazing
and
kind
of
fun,
but
it's
an
example
of
the
kinds
of
things
that
are
happening
in
cities.
C
So
if
someone
has
a
project,
regardless
of
how
big
and
city
creek
center
was
sort
of
our
test
case
partway
through
we
converted
over,
we
have
businesses
that
won't
even
come
to
the
city
that
are
opening
up
a
business,
submit
everything
get
everything
approved
online
and
those
kinds
of
things.
That
kind
of
partnership
is
what
I
view
as
kind
of
the
key
kind
of
theme-
and
I
know
mayor
cornet
from
talking
to
him.
C
We
have
to
protect
our
environment,
we
have
to
provide
for
public
safety
and
those
should
be
uncompromising
principles,
but
we
also
have
to
be
practical
in
how
we
achieve
those
goals
and
sometimes
in
all
of
these
standards,
no
matter
how
thick
the
the
code
book
is.
There's
a
lot
of
interpretation
and
people
can
either
go.
You
know
something
what
you're
trying
to
do
here
make
sense,
and
we
can.
C
You
may
have
to
make
some
adjustments.
We
can
see
how
something
can
work
in
a
way
that
achieves
are
goals
and
our
needs
in
the
community's
needs
and
move
move
on
down
the
path
together
that
that
makes
all
the
difference
in
the
world
in
in
a
business's
sense
of
how
receptive
a
community
is
to
success,
and
you
know
as
much
as
I
like
to
talk
about
a
public
safety
building
or
a
transit
system,
development
or
a
new
Performing,
Arts,
Center,
I,
know
and
I.
C
Think
most
of
us
know
that
the
key
to
the
success
is
having
folks
like
you
who
believe
that
their
investment
is
going
to
be
appreciated
and
successful
and
supported
and
partnerships
are
really
at
the
heart
of
success
in
the
community.
We've
certainly
seen
that
in
Salt,
Lake
and
I
think
has
enabled
us
to
to
move
past
some
very
difficult
times
and
I'm
saying
past,
because
we
hope
we
are
past
the
worst
of
it.
C
We
can
learn
and
share
from
each
other
and
I'm
looking
forward
to
the
rest
of
this
morning,
but
also
to
sharing
with
with
mayor
and
others
how
we
can
improve
the
way
we
do
things
and
learn
from
each
other
in
a
way
that
enables
us
to
be
successful
and
to
really
remain
the
world
leaders
as
as
the
century
unfolds
before
us.
So
thank
you
so
much
for
inviting
me
to
be
with
you.
Go,
thunder
and
and
we'll
enjoy.
