A
Good
afternoon
everybody
we're
gonna
go
ahead
and
get
started
with
our
RDA
meeting
for
today,
August
27th
I
am
going
to
go
over
a
little
bit
of
our
decorum
and
policies
similar
to
last
time.
First
I
want
to
say
I
appreciate
how
it
went
last
time
and
I
hope
that
we
can.
We
can
copy
that
same
procedure.
A
As
we
give
these
comments
and
as
we
receive
these
comments,
the
other
thing
is:
if
people
are
cheering
and
jeering
or
clapping
or
snapping,
we
can't
hear
what
people
are
saying,
and
this
is
an
opportunity
for
us
to
be
able
to
hear
the
comments
that
are
being
made.
So
I
ask
that
we
respect
the
person
who
is
speaking
during
their
during
their
time
and
after
the
other
thing
is,
we
do
have
I,
don't
want
that
door
shut.
A
Sorry,
we
do
have
an
overflow
room.
If
there
are
people
out
and
they
want
to
sit
in
the
chamber,
there
is
an
overflow
room.
We
have
an
agenda
quite
a
big
agenda
and
things
that
need
to
get
done,
so
we
are
going
to
ask
that
we
move
along
quickly.
That
is
also
why
we
ask
that
there
not
be
a
lot
of
in-between
commentary
on
somebody's
comment,
so.
A
A
Two
minutes
is
not
a
ton
of
time,
but
we
have
staff
throughout
the
room
and
in
the
hallway
that
would
be
happy
to
record
any
statement.
We
have
some
cameras
set
up
over
by
the
stairs.
If
you
want
to
give
that
further
comment,
we'd
be
happy
to
assist
in
that
or
if
you
want
to
make
a
written
comment,
we'd
be
happy.
Our
staff
will
be
happy
to
assist
in
that
we
have
water
and
snacks
outside.
If
you
get
thirsty,
these
can
tend
to
be
long
meetings.
A
We
know
that
there's
a
lot
of
people
here
for
item
number
one
and
so,
which
is
the
northwest
quadrant.
If
you're
here
for
item
number
two
and
don't
want
to
wait
around,
you
can
cut,
we
will
reopen
the
general
comment
period
and
we'll
reopen
after
we
take
a
brief
break
after
the
northwest
quadrant
general
comments
are
done.
If
that
doesn't
make
sense,
because
I
kind
of
rambled
that
off
please
raise
your
hand,
one
of
our
staff
will
explain
it
to
you,
so
we
can
get
moving
I.
A
A
B
B
I
pray
for
everyone
involved
in
this
thorny
subject:
please
pour
wisdom,
clarity,
harmony
and
civility
over
this
rough
ground,
rain,
patience
and
truth,
a
spirit
of
cooperation
and
open-mindedness,
I,
pray
for
kindness
and
forbearance,
humility
and
love
between
people
and
for
respect
and
communication
help
us
to
listen
to
one
another.
May
her
be
quelled,
may
shortsightedness
have
eyes,
opened.
I
pray
for
generosity
of
spirit,
bless
us
with
creativity
and
insight
and
enlarge
the
thinking
of
all
concerned
heal.
The
breaches
here.
I
pray
for
common
vision,
somehow
God.
B
If
something
needs
uprooting
I
pray,
your
mighty
and
deft
hand
would
do
it.
If
something
needs
planting
I
pray,
your
fingers
would
be
in
the
soil,
putting
seed
where
it
needs
to
be
in
people's
minds
and
hearts
shine,
new
conviction
and
awareness
where
some
might
need
it
challenge
our
minds
and
change
our
hearts.
According
to
your
will
revive
the
weary,
encourage
the
hopeless
and
speak
answers
to
the
angry
ones.
I
lift
all
the
people.
Everyone
up
to
you
give
a
vision
that
no
mere
one
of
us
limited
humans
could
think
of.
C
Thank
you.
My
name
is
Nigel
sway.
B
I
live
in
Fair
Park
on
the
west
side
of
Salt
Lake,
as
an
active
business
person
and
community
member
I've
been
following
the
inland
port
for
many
years.
I've
also
seen
the
west
side
get
treated
badly
by
the
city
for
most
of
my
life
and
I
also
share
the
same
concerns
about
potential
negative
effects
of
this
port
as
many
of
the
people
in
this
room,
including
air
quality,
stormwater
and
rail
traffic.
C
I've
also
listened
to
political
rhetoric
about
land
grabs
and
tax
sweeps
and
state
overreach
concerning
SB
234.
Yet
here
we
are
in
the
Salt
Lake
City
RDA,
discussing
your
vote
to
manage
a
part
of
the
project
that
you
created
with
that
said,
I
urge
you
not
to
give
up
your
responsibility
for
the
Northwest
project.
Master
plan
bill
your
obligations
to
the
petitioners
and
don't
forfeit
the
million
dollar
annual
revenue.
Your
Community
Reinvestment
area
will
produce
as
a
City
Council
you'll
have
other
opportunities
during
the
planning
process
to
address
our
community's
concerns.
C
D
Am
a
district
4
resident
in
Salt
Lake
City
for
many
years
and
for
many
reasons,
I
have
loved
Salt,
Lake
City,
but
with
the
leadership
and
representation
that
allows
the
health
of
my
community
to
be
put
at
risk.
Deeply
troubles
me.
It
was
said
that
this
tax
break
isn't
for
a
port
when
the
sign
on
the
land
says
it
was
for
a
port.
It
was.
It's
also
been
said
that
this
port
is
here
to
create
jobs
and
give
us
an
economic
boost
when
you
toss
current
unemployment
rate
is
2.9.
D
We
do
not
need
this
for
our
economy
if
we
want
to
think
about
it
in
economic
terms,
let's
look
at
how
much
money
will
be
spent
by
individuals
who
are
dealing
with
health
issues
related
to
air
pollution.
Let's
look
at
what
it
would
cost
to
mimic
the
functions
of
the
ecosystem
services
that
the
ecosystem
of
Great
Salt
Lake
provides.
D
What
would
it
cost
globally
if
this
was
built,
because
this
is
designated
as
a
globally
important
Bird
area?
For
a
reason,
let's
do
something
to
actually
assess
the
damage
that
will
be
done.
If
you
approve
this
phase,
1
print
the
inland
port
before
you
approve
it,
there's
no
reason
to
push
this
forward
without
doing
an
environmental
impact
assessment.
I.
B
My
name
is
Heather
Jeff
and
I'm,
president
of
Great
Salt
Lake,
Audubon
and
I
represent
the
10
million
Birds
of
Great
Salt
Lake,
and
our
thousands
of
Audubon
members,
City
Council,
spends
the
beginning
and
end
of
every
public
comment
session.
With
extensive
remarks,
thanking
the
public
for
coming
out
to
speak
their
mind,
emphasizing
how
the
council
listens
and
takes
those
voices
into
account.
Last
week
there
were
about
59
people
who
spoke
during
the
public
comment
period.
B
Only
two
of
those
voices
were
for
the
port
and
the
twenty-eight
million
dollar
giveaway
57
out
of
the
59
were
vehemently
against
the
port
and
vehemently
against
giving
wealthy
developers
a
twenty
eight
million
dollar
tax
break.
If
the
council
votes
to
approve
this
giveaway,
it
will
demonstrate
how
little
in
fact
the
council
takes
public
sentiment
into
account.
The
lengthy
words
of
thanks
will
ring
Harlow
in
the
City.
Council
will
prove
themselves
as
tone-deaf
and
untrustworthy
is
our
legislature.
B
If
the
council
votes
to
approve
this
giveaway
it'll
be
the
most
most
ironic
that
it
will
be
doing
so.
During
the
very
week,
the
Salt
Lake
City
is
hosting
the
United
Nations
civil
society
conference,
where
it
is
presenting
itself
as
a
progressive,
sustainable
community.
The
inland
port,
including
phase
1,
is
not
a
sustainable
project.
The
buildings
may
be
designed
with
low
environmental
impact,
but
the
2000
Daly
truck
trips
and
the
3,300
daily
car
trips
will
have
a
huge
impact
on
the
air
quality
of
this
valley.
B
Phase
1
will
enable
the
state
to
move
forward
with
the
rest
of
this
monstrous
project,
with
its
trains,
planes,
cranes,
trucks
and
more
buildings
on
fragile
upland,
habitat,
all
extremely
detrimental
to
air
quality,
night
skies,
noise
level
and
habitat
for
people
and
wildlife.
We
urge
you
yet
again
to
vote
no
to
this.
Twenty
eight
million
dollar
tax,
giveaway.
E
E
The
challenge
here
is:
where
is
the
data
to
align?
Where
are
the
milestones?
Where
are
the
capacity
upgrades
to
plan
present
capacity
that
guarantee
that
are
guaranteed
here?
It's
not
done
yet,
and
this
aligns
with
the
prison
as
well.
According
to
the
policy
alignment,
sustainability
anticipated
is.
The
key
word
here
anticipate
to
include
sustainability
features.
What
features
are
there?
Where
are
the
milestones
again
decreasing?
The
project's
impact
on
air
quality,
again,
where
is
the
due
diligence,
we're
looking
for
an
environmental
impact
statement?
E
D
D
I'm,
just
tired
of
having
to
do
this
right.
That's
why
you
guys
are
here
you're
supposed
to
be
representing
us
and
I
hope
you
coming
I'm
here,
because
I
have
two
young
children
and
we
live
right
by
a
highway
I'm,
tired
of
having
to
fight
against
more
trucks,
more
cars,
more
fossil
fuels,
more
extraction,
you're
our
representatives-
and
he
chose
you
to
speak
on
our
behalf.
So
please
do
so.
F
A
F
You
so
much
anyway,
I'm
just
heartbroken
that
you
guys
ever
thought
this
was
a
great
idea.
It's
not
and
I
think
he
should
wait
for
an
environmental
study,
at
least
but
I
did
bring
up
last
week,
but
you
weren't
all
hear
the
story
of
Gunnison
island,
which
is
a
number-one
breeding
habitat
in
the
world
for
pelicans
and
you
in
the
past
I've
gone
out
and
banded
500
new
birds.
F
Every
year
at
this
year
they
got
75
and
I'm,
just
guessing
that
stood
out
in
that
area
with
the
construction
of
the
airport
in
the
prison
and
the
prison's
already
shown
that
the
ground
out
in
that
area
is
not
conducive
to
bit
too
large.
Building
it's
it's
there.
It's
gone
way,
over-budget
trying
to
reinforce
the
ground
I,
don't
understand
why
you
don't
appreciate
what
we
have
there.
I
am
NOT
a
huge
I
love
birds,
I'm,
not
a
huge
bird
person,
but
well.
This
is
a
jewel
to
Salt
Lake
City.
F
Pollution
is
everybody's
concern
and
it
should
be
your
as
you
live
here
too
and
I
know
the
guy
that
is
building
the
warehouses
said
that
well,
this
isn't
part
of
the
inland
port
I'm
just
building
warehouses,
but
he
has
a
sign
up
on
the
freeway
that
says:
phase
1,
inland
port
and
there's
no
such
thing
as
a
green
port
pollution
will
happen
and
not
only
air
pollution,
but
noise
pollution
light
pollution.
You
represent
us,
we
elected
you
and
I,
don't
know
how
in
the
world
you
could
want
this.
F
G
He
also
made
a
request
that
you
changed
the
order
of
the
procedure
to
have
the
developer
speak
first,
but
obviously
that
was
not
considered.
He
also
sent
a
copy
of
a
citizen's
draft
resolution
deferring
the
northwest
quadrant
LLC
application
for
tax
increment
reimbursement.
This
legal
document
gives
the
City
Council
an
excellent
way
to
defer
action
of
nwa
LLC's
request
for
approval
of
this
resolution
until
the
applicant
includes
three
reports
in
its
application.
G
I
urge
the
council
to
seriously
consider
using
this
document
to
protect
our
tax
dollars
from
being
needlessly
squandered
on
development
that
so
many
of
us
have
taken
the
time
to
inform
you
that
we
object
to.
There
are
so
many
reasons
that
have
been
put
before
you
by
the
public
to
defer
this
situate.
This
decision,
I,
don't
understand
I,
don't
understand
the
rush
when
so
many
people
are
concerned
about
the
environment
right
now,
and
this
is
not
sustainable,
we
don't
need
more
warehouses.
We
don't
need
more
stuff.
Look
at
our
landfills.
G
We
have
so
much
garbage,
we
don't
need
more
and
it's
so
detrimental
to
the
environment.
What
are
you
doing?
Your
our
city,
elected
officials?
This
is
not
sustainable.
This
is
not
good
building.
This
is
not
going
to
help
the
people
who
live
in
that
area,
but
it's
falling
on
deaf
ears,
just
as
all
of
the
protests
that
I
have
gone
to
and
all
of
the
times
that
I
have
spoken
against.
The
inland
I
have
been
to
many
many
meetings
and
I
get
the
same
looks
and
thank
you.
A
H
Okay,
hi
I'm
John
Prain
I'm
in
councilman
Luke's
district
I
want
to
thank
you
for
preparing
this
handout,
which
will
reward
careful
study,
I'm
sure
on
the
back.
It
says
to
incentivize
this
growth
is
the
purpose
of
the
so
I
just
came
down
from
the
UN
conference
at
the
saw
Palace
it's
on
sustainability
of
cities
and
supposedly
since
salt
lake
is
hosting
it
we're
going
to
set
an
example
of
sustainable
city
of
sustainable
cities
and
many
things
we
do
of
course
are
headed
in
that
direction.
H
The
one
thing
that
is
a
problem
is
unlimited
growth,
wherever
there's
a
little
spare
piece
of
land
that
has
no
worth
until
it's
built
up
with
a
warehouse
is
that
I
mean
that's,
obviously
not
in
the
cards
for
sustainability
and
if
you've,
driven
around
Salt
Lake
lately
like
I,
have
the
grids
are
beginning
to
lock
our
family
moved
here
from
California
they're.
The
grids
are
locked
because
they
can't
stop
the
growth
it's
very
difficult.
H
I
As
a
child,
I
lived
on
the
East
End
of
Long
Island,
where
almost
every
man
was
a
fisherman
or
a
farmer.
Long
Island
is
a
sand
dune
of
an
island
similar
in
size
and
shape
to
the
Salt
Lake
Valley,
from
Ogden
to
Provo
and
just
as
narrow,
bound
between
two
bodies
of
open
sea.
Instead
of
two
mountain
ranges.
By
the
time,
I
was
a
teen.
The
fishery
was
no
longer
commercially
viable
for
independent
boat
owners
and
suitable
only
for
factory
ships
and
the
farms
gradually
disappeared
under
McMansions.
I
I
This
battle
here
today
takes
form
between
basic
maslow
needs
of
community
and
a
super
aggressive
combination
of
corporate
interest
and
old
family
money
that
desperately
fights
for
gerrymandering
and
deregulation
of
the
pace
of
growth
and
public
safety.
There
are
certainly
ease
those
are
certainly
nightmarish
scenarios,
but
this
time
around
consequences
will
be
exponentially
worse.
What
will
be
lost
is
human
habitability,
increasingly
toxic
and
hot
planet.
C
C
Where
I
honestly
feel
we
are
lacking,
I
realized
that
you
guys
are
trapped.
Amy,
you
look
like
you've
been
beat
up,
you're,
exhausted,
sorry,
Chris
and
Charlie.
You
don't
look
any
better
and
you
have
and
there's
a
reason
for
that.
We
failed
at
every
step
of
this
process.
When
we
rezone
this
in
2016
we
failed.
We
gave
the
developers
infinite
power
over
this
city
power
with
which
they
could
buy
our
state
legislators,
and
they
did
they
are
in
their
pocket.
C
As
soon
as
that
was
through,
we
were
put
in
a
trap,
and
in
2018
we
signed
a
contract
with
no
escape.
Our
legal
department
failed
the
citizens
of
this
city,
then
we
go
through
and
our
City
Council
approved
it.
They
approved
a
industry
that
produces
20th
percentile
wages
in
a
city
that
is
growing
and
booming,
and
they
gave
them
a
twenty
eight
million
dollar
tax
subsidy
to
build
this,
and
now
today
we
find
ourselves
with
the
choice.

Hello,
my
name
is
DITA
seed,
I
work
for
the
Center
for
Biological
Diversity
and

stop
the
polluting
port
coalition.
Last
week,
our
DEA
staff
and
the
lawyer
for
the
developer
suggested
we
shouldn't
worry
about
this
project,
because
this
isn't
the
inland
port.
Really
it's
been
billed
as
the
inland
port
for
over
a
year,
there's
a
sign
on
I-80
that
says:
phase
1,
sl
seaport,
global
logistics,
center
2019,
inland
ports
are
giant
warehouse
and
freight
distribution
hubs,
and
that's
what's
being
proposed
here.
D
Phase
1
is
intended
to
create
six
million
square
feet
of
new
warehousing
on
a
greenfield
that
could
generate
as
many
as
2,000
new
truck
trips
per
day
and
over
3,000
car
trips,
and
it's
paving
the
way,
literally
for
more
warehouses
to
come,
and
possibly
the
subsidy
of
an
intermodal
facility
run
by
BNSF
because
of
the
high
water
table
and
potential
for
liquefaction.
This
Greenfield
is
expensive
to
build
on
so
expensive.
They
can't
do
it
without
our
twenty
million.
D
Twenty
eight
million
dollar
gift
of
a
tax
break
this
week,
Salt
Lake
City
is
touting
its
commitment
to
sustainability
as
an
example
to
others
in
the
world.
Yet
we're
poised
to
use
future
city
tax
revenue
to
subsidize
an
increase
in
pollution
and
greenhouse
gas
emissions,
and
we're
doing
this
without
an
understanding
of
the
environmental
harm.
We
have
no
analysis
of
air
quality
impacts
or
greenhouse
gas
emissions.
From
this
comes
from
construction
and
operation
of
this
project.
We
have
no
understanding
of
the
guidelines
of
any
around
the
use
of
pesticides
and
herbicides
within
the
project
area.
D
We
have
no
analysis
of
the
overall
wildlife,
habitat
and
water
quality
impacts
of
this
project.
This
development
is
contrary
to
policy
goals
around
improving
our
air
quality
and
the
city's
plan
to
become
Net
Zero
by
I
think
it's
2040
I
wish
it
was
2030.
We
will
not
be
able
to
achieve
any
of
these
things.
If
we
keep
supporting
projects
like
this,
we
simply
cannot
continue
to
build
warehouses,
I'm
endlessly
and
I
just
want
to
thank
all
the
people
who
are
coming
out
today
to
speak
to
this
important
issue.
It's
truly
heartening
Kira
Kilmer.
A
A
C
Okay,
I
want
to
thank
Chris
Morton
as
well
for
the
very
open,
informative
meeting
where
she
held
yesterday
to
help
constituents
like
me
understand
the
intricacies
of
the
situation.
As
has
been
mentioned,
the
current
situation
is
resolved.
Any
mistakes-
that's
water
over
the
dam
I
would
say
that
a
high
priority
for
the
new
mayor
and
council
should
be
to
remove
the
limitations
on
the
RDAs
mandate
and
revise
it
to
allow
it
to
include
as
criteria
for
economic
development
such
things
as
jobs,
infrastructure
and
environmental
impacts.
I
understand
the
state's
threat
of
D
annexation.
C
This
calls
for
acute
political
judgement,
which
is
your
area
of
expertise.
I
would
urge
you
not
to
self-censor
I,
understand
the
need
to
avoid
the
state
stepping
in
and
taking
action,
but
I
wonder
exactly
where
that
line
is
I.
Hope.
The
following
comments
are
pragmatic
and
allow
you
to
serve
the
interests
of
your
constituents
without
placing
the
city
in
an
even
worse
position,
by
giving
the
state
excuse
to
step
in
I
urge
you
to
defer
action
on
this
proposal
and
negotiate
with
nwq
as
and
on
the
basis
of.
C
If
you
can't
use
exaggerated
job
and
wage
claims,
you
can
probably
use
the
questionable
infrastructure
costs
that
impact
the
eventual
revenue
that
the
city
will
realize
as
a
result
of
the
development.
On
the
basis
of
that
question,
I
believe
you
can
enter
a
negotiation
with
nwq
and
some
things
you
might
discuss
are
including
engine
warmers
in
the
warehouses,
which
will
avoid
the
necessity
of
having
all
of
these
diesel
trucks
idle,
which
is
the
source
of
a
lot
of
the
pollution.
C
J
G
Okay,
you
can
hear
all
right,
good,
I,
see
a
few
nuts,
so
I
live
in
East
Liberty
Park
I
am
a
couple
of
blocks
from
Hawthorn,
where
you
air,
monitor
I've,
been
there
37
years,
I'm
homeowner,
so
I
pay
state
taxes
and
I
pay
property
taxes.
So
my
problem
with
your
agreement
to
pay
twenty
eight
million
dollars
to
somebody
who's
building
out,
there
is
you're
setting
a
bad
precedent.
Once
one
person
wants
it,
everybody
who's
out,
there
is
gonna
want
it
now.
G
My
understanding
and
I
might
not
be
correct,
but
my
understanding
is
all
the
warehouses
and
the
businesses
that
I
passed
in
my
commute
to
co-teach
on
the
west
side,
built
it
on
their
own
dollar,
but
for
some
reason,
there's
some
kind
of
agreement
to
give
incentives.
The
people
who
are
building
north
of
I-80
and
I
don't
see
the
reason
for
it.
Anybody
who
bought
property
up
there
knew
there
was
an
earthquake
fault
and
it
was
a
liquefaction
area.
G
If
there
was
an
earthquake,
that's
not
news
to
anybody
when
you
buy
when
you
invest,
you
make
an
agreement
to
yourself
that
you're
going
to
do
your
best
to
make
a
profit.
You
don't
go
to
the
government
and
ask
for
money
to
do
it.
The
people
below
I-80
didn't
go
to
the
government
to
ask
to
do
it
as
far
as
I
know.
So
why
are
you
encouraging
the
people
above
to
come
to
you
for
money
or
to
come
to
the
state?
D
A
woman
who
has
grown
up
in
this
area
I
have
watched
the
steadily
increasing
rates
of
autism,
my
friends,
children,
being
hospitalized
and
dying
due
to
asthma
due
to
pollution
without
standing
in
a
place
of
power
such
as
you.
The
best
that
I
can
do
is
pray
for
all
of
us
that
we
may
open
our
hearts
and
clear
our
minds
so
that
we
way
that
we
may
remember
that
we
are
stewards
of
this
land
we
get
to
take
care
of
Mother
Earth,
as
she
has
always
taken
care
of
us.
D
K
I
am
here
from
ku
Mayan
tongue
Valley,
and
in
so
you
would
also
recognize
that
as
Los
Angeles
and
San
Diego
Southern
California
I
was
here
on
a
prayer
rock
that
we
did
with
SLA
air
protectors.
We
ran
380
miles
and
we
just
finished
at
the
Capitol
yesterday.
So
what
we've
learned
and
the
reason
why
I'm
here
today
is
to
stand
in
solidarity.
Everything
I've
heard
the
power
needs
to
go
to
the
people
and
what
I
hear
in
my
spirit
is
that
I
am
hearing
the
word.
K
Rape,
I
am
hearing
the
word
rape
over
and
over
and
over
because
all
of
our
rhetoric
and
all
of
the
things
that
we're
saying,
really
means
nothing.
When
you
consider
this
import
is
an
act
of
rape
and
unless
the
people
consent,
it
is
a
violation.
It
is
an
assault,
it
is
against
mother
nature.
It
also
opens
the
door
to
the
worst
and
wicked
evil
to
women
who
will
be
open
and
vulnerable
to
man
camps.
It
is
the
highest
degra
gay
dating
form
of
reducing
humanity,
its
soul,
murder,
and
it
needs
to
be
stopped.
K
I
honor
you
that
you're,
each
in
a
position
where
you
have
to
make
these
tough
choices,
but
that's
why
you
chose
your
calling
and
we
hold
you
to
the
highest
regard,
to
answer
that
to
protect
humanity
and
protect
each
generation,
because
we
ran
out
there
with
masks
on
our
faces.
Do
you
want
your
children,
your
children's
children,
and
for
us
who
are
indigenous
people?
We
are
held
accountable,
'ti
to
the
next
seven
generations.
C
My
name
is
Jim
kitano
I
live
in
the
avenues.
I'd
like
to
direct
my
comment
to
a
councilmember
Mendenhall.
You
have
a
plank
in
in
your
platform
that
you
for
running
for
mayor
that
I
very
much
agree
with,
and
that's
that
we
need
to
bring
more
low,
polluting,
high-paying,
high-tech
jobs
into
the
city
and
the
whole.
The
whole
concept
of
incentives,
government
incentives
is
debatable
in
the
first
place.
But
what's
not
debatable
is
that
we
should
not
be
incentivizing
businesses
that
we
don't
want.
C
L
Hello
good
afternoon,
my
name
is
Julio
long
I
been
here
exactly
a
year
in
Utah
I
move
out
here
for
the
reasons
that
everybody's
fighting
today,
because
of
the
outdoors
and
the
beautiful
terrain
that
we
have
around
here.
I
have
lived
in
many
many
cities
and
I
have
seen
the
destruction
of
the
corporations,
and
you
guys
are
supposed
to
be
responding
to
the
citizens
of
the
United
States.
But
corporations
have
a
chokehold
on
you
guys
and.
L
That
this
is
from
the
top
to
the
bottom,
there's
nothing
we
could
do
about
it,
especially
with
corporate
personhood
in
2011
I
seen
in
one
year,
a
huge
huge
change
take
I-15
all
the
way
south
north
new
buildings.
Out
of
nowhere
in
a
couple
of
months,
everybody
is
doing
construction
in
their
little
cities,
that
is,
the
attraction
of
Utah,
the
small
community
and
the
beautiful
things
that
tourists
come
for.
L
This
is
going
to
destroy
part
of
that
part,
instead
of
using
this
as
a
tool
to
make
generate
more
revenue
for
the
city
by
sponsoring
people
to
come
and
see
the
beautiful
Utah.
That
is
part
of
the
the
only
thing
we're
missing
here
is
a
beach
everything
else.
We
have
it
from
every
state.
We
have
everything
and
I
seen
it
with
my
own
eyes:
I've
gone
through
the
whole
state
up
and
down
side
to
side
and
I
love.
This
place,
I
think
it's
the
most
beautiful
state
in
this
country.
L
D
Since
I
know
that
we
can't
ask
questions
to
you
guys,
I'm
going
to
ask
one
to
these
people,
do
any
of
you
know
what
a
cancer
cluster
is
yeah.
We
know-
and
we
know
that
it's
coming
for
this
valley
and
that
you
guys
are
the
front
between
us
and
cancer
clusters.
I
just
got
done
with
a
13
day
journey
and
prayer,
where
my
sister
Davina
put
her
feet
on
every
inch
of
that
road
and
I
also
helped
I'm,
not
an
athlete
grandmother.
D
We
know
what
cancer
clusters
are
when
I
was
a
child
in
the
1970s
I
used
to
watch
the
TV
discovery
planet
and
think
how
can
we
ever
understand
all
the
biodiversity
in
this
world?
It's
so
vast
that
biodiversity
is
gone
and
we've
got
one
of
the
last
remaining
vestiges
of
it
and
it
is
on
you.
I
am
sorry
it's
on
you,
but
it
is
on
you
to
stop
it
from
going
away.
D
D
There
are
alternative,
all
economies
we
can
help
you
find
them.
We
can
help.
You
find
the
ways
we
can
give
you
all
the
information
that
we
spend
every
minute
of
every
day,
researching
because
we
are
fighting
for
our
lives
when
I
was
out
there
in
the
desert,
I
was
able
to
myself
go
13
miles,
walking
and
running
with
no
lung
issues.
I
have
COPD
the
day.
I
got
back
to
this
valley.
I
had
to
Don
a
mask
because
my
lung
started
burning
immediately.
Thank
you.
M
In
fact,
last
week,
council,
chairman
Charlie
Luke,
said
that
the
council
was
not
quote-unquote
trying
to
be
sneaky
and,
if
that's
true,
I'm,
not
sure
what
you
have
to
lose
through
further
transparency.
If
you
truly
believe
that
the
inland
port
is
as
harmless
to
Salt,
Lake
City,
as
you
claim
I
invite
you
to
demonstrate
that
with
a
thorough,
unbiased
health
impact
assessment
and
an
environmental
impact
statement,
if
this
destructive
port
is
the
boon
to
our
economy,
that
the
movers
and
shakers
claim
it
is
a
twenty
eight
million
dollar
tax
break
should
not
be
necessary.
M
If
there
is
nothing
to
hide,
let
nothing
be
hidden.
Your
claim
that
you're
just
trying
to
do
what's
best
for
Salt
Lake,
well
Salt
Lake,
is
here
and
saw
it
like
it
was
here
last
week
and
we're
telling
you
what's
best
for
us
now
your
constituency
has
spoken.
It
should
be
clear
now
what
must
happen
next,
please,
for
our
sake
and
for
the
sake
of
our
fragile
bio
biodiversity
that
we
all
depend
on
vote,
no
on
the
twenty-eight
million
dollar
tax,
break
and
issue
a
health
impact
assessment
and
environmental
impact
statement
before
any
further
procedure.
E
Claims
forest
coach,
I'm
former
director
of
in
an
affairs
of
state
of
Utah,
former
resident
of
the
city
and
I,
speak
I'm
here
to
speak
for
myself,
not
for
the
youth
tribe,
my
people
or
oil
and
gas
nation,
and
they
probably
even
support
the
inland
port
yeah.
But
this
native
person
opposes
it
and
I'm
here
in
support
of
those
of
you
who
oppose
it
and
I
understand
it's
going
to
be
an
uphill
fight.
E
E
That's
one
alternative
to
energy
that
I'd
like
to
see
my
tribe
pursue
not
to
mention
other
alternatives
as
well
as
solar,
wind
and
I'm,
aware
that
they
can
be
corrupted
too.
Okay,
I
want
to
say,
besides
the
alternative
arguments,
you're
gonna
have
to
go
in
there
with
some
spirit
with
the
power
of
God,
because
you're
tugging
at
Superman's
cape,
and
it's
not
only
here
but
throughout
this
world.
E
I
My
name
is
Terry
Wingate
and
a
lot
of
these
people
have
said
some
wonderful
things
and
I
don't
have
anything
to
add
to
that
in
a
way.
But
I've
lived
in
this
valley
for
71
years
and
about
10
years
ago.
There
was
a
president
that
in
his
inaugural
address,
he
said
that
special
interests
are
a
thing
of
the
past.
Well,
guess
what
they're
not
and
we've
had
two
years
of
a
horrible
president,
I.
I
Don't
feel
like
my
kids
or
grandkids
are
gonna
in
a
better
environment
than
we
have
now,
and
unless
we
stop
it
now
we
have
to
stop
this
freight
train
from
running
down
the
tracks
too
hard
is:
are
there
other
alternatives
to
building
it
out
where
they're
building
it
or
are
there
other
things
that
we
can
do?
Do
we.
F
F
I
First
time
that
a
friend
of
mine
told
me
to
come
to
these
meetings,
I
said:
there's
no,
there's
no
use
the
legislators
in
charge
of
everything.
Legislature
and
new
people.
So
is
that
true?
Do
we
have
a
voice
at
all?
I
know
that
when
I
went
to
that
first
meeting
they
said
well,
there's
a
possibility
that
the
legacy
highway
is
is
just
a
done
deal.
We're
gonna,
do
away
with
that
and
turns
out.
They
were
right.
So
what's
the
answer?
I
don't
know,
but,
like
I
said
you
know,
I
I
don't
have
any
answers.
I
M
Okay,
hi
I'm
jerome
solar,
I'm
president
of
a
small
company
in
salt
lake
city
that
does
research
and
artificial
intelligence
and
machine
learning
for
defense,
health
care
and
energy
applications
and
the
views
I'm
gonna
present
represent
most
of
the
companies.
I
know
for
out
the
salt
lake
city
that
strongly
oppose
this.
We
believe
that
it
will
have
a
profound
negative
economic
effect
on
Utah's
high-tech
sector
because
it
will
drive
away
jobs.
M
I've
had
two
employees
that
relocated
and
work
remotely
from
other
parts
of
the
country
in
part
because
the
effect
on
their
health
or
family
members,
health
for
the
terrible
air
quality
we
have
in
Salt
Lake
City.
So
the
bottom
line
is
it's
a
negative
opportunity.
Cost
you'll
see
may
be
gaining
a
handful
of
minimum-wage
jobs
and
driving
away
or
losing
opportunities
for
high
tech
jobs.
M
This
is
strongly
opposed
within
the
tech
industry
and
there's
developing
a
tremendous
amount
of
anger
and
backlash,
because
this
hurts
our
bottom
line.
Sic
employees
are
not
productive
employees
that
leave
to
go
to
other
states
with
better
environmental
conditions.
Don't
get
work
done
in
a
global
technology
environment
we
need
to
be
competitive
and
twenty
eight
million
dollars.
That's
absurd.
M
If
this
is
truly
economically
viable,
it
shouldn't
see
one
penny
you're,
not
dropping
twenty
eight
million
dollars
any
tech
companies.
Why?
Because
they're
economically
viable
and
they
create
jobs?
This
is
a
risky
venture
or
they
wouldn't
need
a
cent
they'd
be
running
over
themselves
to
get
this
started
without
even
one
dime.
It's
the
fact
that
they
have
to
ask
for
that
that
it's
essentially
corporate
welfare
for
one
kind
of
company
that
hurts
high
tech
companies
that
hurts
companies
that
generate
high-paying
jobs.
Time.
A
D
No,
a
Christian
and
I
am
an
an
eval
des
Morris
district
and
I
sort
of
tell
it's
not
democracy.
If
you
just
have
one
side,
so
I
just
want
to
put
my
voice
in
and
say
this
will
be
protected,
4,000
acres
and
Natural
Area,
and
a
no
vote
would
threaten
that.
This
project
will
be
the
most
sustainable
commercial
building
project
in
Utah
and
I.
D
The
project
was
negotiated
by
the
city
and
made
sure
environmental
protections
were
in
place.
The
opposition
is
basically
saying
that
they
want
to
eliminate
all
the
environmental
protections
and
trust
the
state
to
do
it.
Right.
I'd
rather
put
my
trust
in
my
city
than
in
the
state.
I
hope
you
vote
in
favor
of
the
project.
Salt
Lake
City
needs
to
keep
their
seat
at
the
table
and
I
think
that's
really
important
to
not
just
walk
away
that
we
do
have
a
seat
and
you
stay
there
and
it's
a
great
impact.
N
N
Let
me
tell
you
93
percent
of
the
hydrocarbons
50
percent
of
the
smog
Ozone's
50
percent
of
the
carbon
emissions,
30%
of
the
particulates,
50
percent
of
the
PAH
and
90
percent
of
the
NPA
H
1
&
2
nitro
Irene's
out
of
the
air
immediately,
so
I
think
people
would
really
appreciate
that
they
live
around
here.
But
if
you
also
look
at
the
congressional
reports
as
well
as
the
Department
of
Ag
Department
of
Defense
they've
all
named
hemp
as
the
way
to
get
through
this.
N
When
you
look
at
the
building
products
that
a
hemp
come
that
you
can
build
out
of
hemp,
it's
got
our
values
of
40
to
80
that
keeps
your
interior
heating
and
cooling
down.
So
when
you
look
at
that,
think
about
creating
your
semi-trucks,
your
trailers,
out
of
the
same
materials
again
40
to
80,
so
you
don't
have
your
reefer
units
running
all
night
and
just
polluting
the
place.
You
know
we
have
a
real
opportunity
here
and
as
an
infrastructure.
O
As
you
know,
I'm
sure
many
of
you
know
the
air
quality
here
in
the
winter,
with
the
inversion
is
already
some
of
the
worst
in
the
world
and
causes
many
health
issues
to
our
citizens.
So
I,
please
urge
you
I
urge
that
you
protect
their
health
and
your
own
by
not
continuing
with
the
building
of
this
port
and
I
just
want
to
address
the
congregation.
How
many
of
you
in
our
vegan-vegetarian
or
attempt
to
decrease
your
meat
consumption?
O
That's
great.
The
UN
who,
you
all
know,
is
holding
a
climate
crisis
conference
here
in
the
city
released
a
report
a
few
months
ago.
That
says
all
humans
must
become
vegan
or
vegetarian
to
stop
climate
change,
but
the
real
pressure
should
be
put
on
companies
that
pollute
this
earth
that
create
like
70%
of
the
pollution
on
this
earth.
O
As
she
said,
we
have
some
of
the
lowest
unemployment
rates
in
the
country,
not
to
mention
these
jobs
are
not
safe
jobs.
I'm
sure
many
of
you
have
heard
of
the
horrors
inside
Amazon,
warehouses
and
if
you
haven't
I
will
tell
you
is
never
mind
time,
but
these
jobs
are
not
good
jobs
and
they
will
not
be
safe
jobs
for
our
citizens.
Wayne.
A
H
Like
to
thank
the
council
for
this
forum,
I
support
the
project.
I'm
old
enough
to
remember.
When
the
environmental
movement
began,
it
was
concerned
with
littering
and
saving
water
it
has
grown
and
evolved.
It
became
global
warming.
Then
it
became
climate
change
if
this
project
had
no
oh
and
then
climate
change,
but
now
we're
told
that
the
world
will
end
in
12
years.
H
The
if
this
project
had
no
environmental
protections.
No
environmental
elements
to
it.
I
could
see
why
it
would
be
opposed.
I'm,
a
resident
of
downtown
Salt,
Lake,
City
I
think
it
is.
You
will
be
very
helpful
for
Salt
Lake's
position
in
the
world
and
there's
nothing
wrong
with
being
strong
in
the
economy.
I
think
that
it
should
be
approved,
I
understand
that
this
has
gone
on
for
some
time
and
that
the
county
is,
or
the
city
rather
has,
and
very
strong
and
negotiating
this
in
terms
of
requiring
environmental
protections.
H
4,000
acres
will
be
preserved
and
protected
and
I'm
in
development.
Yes,
I
am
I'm
one
of
those
evil
developers
that
brings
jobs
and
money
to
people,
but
let
me
say
that
the
project,
and
not
always
to
me
I,
might
add
the
project
will
be
probably
the
most
sustainable
building
project
in
in
the
area
and
as
far
as
the
smog
I
wish.
It
wasn't
here
in
the
winter,
but
by
no
means
is
that
the
world
first
among
the
world's
worst
I've,
been
to
Mexico
City
I've
been
to
many
other
places.
H
A
F
Okay
and
I
consider
myself
a
retired
community
activist
if
there
is
such
a
thing,
because
here
I
am,
as
most
of
you
all
are
in
this
room
and
the
council
I'm
adamantly
opposed
to
the
inland
port.
This
is
not
the
inland
port.
A
year
ago,
this
council
took
steps
to
avoid
this
land
becoming
part
of
the
inland
part
and
I.
Thank
you
for
that.
Now,
a
year
later,
it's
time
to
finalize
the
decision.
I
do
not
see
that
there
are
any
options
other
than
to
finalize
the
decision.
F
If
they
were
not
to
approve
this
today,
this
land
could
become
open
to
become
part
of
the
inland
port.
We
would
not
have
the
Environmental
Protection's
the
city
tax
base
that
we
have
created
by
trying
to
avoid
this
becoming
part
of
the
inland
port.
I
encourage
all
of
you
to
act
responsibly
and
to
vote
to
ratify
this
agreement
that
you
made
a
year
ago
in
good
conscience
and
to
protect
us
as
Salt
Lake
City
citizens.
Thank
you.
A
C
L
Hi
there
I'm
Brooke
Larson
I'm,
the
coordinator
of
uplift,
which
is
a
group
that
connects
trains
and
mobilizes
young
people
for
climate
justice
across
the
southwest
I
also
grew
up
in
Salt,
Lake
and
love
my
home,
but
increasingly
questioned
if
I
want
to
stay
here
because
of
the
endless
growth
mentality
that
has
led
to
us
having
at
times
the
worst
air
quality
in
the
country.
As
has
been
mentioned
this
week,
Salt
Lake
is
hosting
the
UN
civil
society
conference
with
the
theme,
building,
inclusive
and
sustainable
cities
and
communities.
L
I,
don't
know
how
you
all
can
host
this
conference
with
integrity,
while
also
considering
voting
on
this
measure
that
will
pave
the
way
for
the
inland
port.
This
process
has
been
the
opposite
of
inclusive
I,
appreciate
you
all
listening
to
the
public
at
the
city
council
meetings,
but
if
this
process
was
transparent
and
inclusive
from
the
beginning,
we
would
not
be
in
this
place
a
project
that
will
increase
pollution
disproportionately
near
low-income
communities,
and
people
of
color
is
the
opposite
of
inclusive.
This
project
is
also
far
from
sustainable.
L
Any
project
that
will
increase
carbon
emissions
sacrifice
is
my
future.
The
future
of
the
city,
the
future
of
all
life
on
this
planet,
we
are
in
a
climate
crisis
and
I
want
you
all
to
start
acting
like
it.
A
couple
weeks
ago,
Iceland
lost
its
first
glacier
to
climate
change.
The
government
installed
a
plaque
with
the
letter
to
the
future.
In
this
letter
they
say
this
monument
is
to
acknowledge
that
we
know
what
is
happening
and
what
needs
to
be
done
only
you
know.
If
we
did
it,
you
know
what
needs
to
be
done.
L
P
I've
lived
here
in
this
valley
for
almost
15
years,
and
one
thing
that
is
very
obvious
to
me
is
that
the
air
quality
has
gotten
a
lot
worse
and
I
bike
every
day
and
it
hurts
like,
and
it's
just
getting
worse
and
I,
think
that
it
is
irresponsible
and
ignorant
to
not
consider
any
other
options
for
economic
growth.
This
is
an
amazing
Valley,
so
many
people
so
many
options
and
just
please
consider
all
of
them.
A
B
I
can
I
thought
I
was
done
running
so
I'm,
the
dinner
woman
I'm,
the
executive
director
for
select
city,
air
protectors,
I
hope
every
one
of
you.
If
you
could
look
at
me,
please
know
that
the
330
mile
journey
from
bears
ears
to
here
is
not
only
about
running
it's
about
many
things.
It's
about
protecting
bears
ears,
it's
about
what's
happening
here.
B
B
Q
Hi,
my
name
is
Thea
Brannon
I'm,
a
citizen
of
Salt
Lake
I
came
last
week
and
spoke
I'm,
not
privy
to
all
the
details
of
the
contract
and
whatever
agreement
you
all
made
or
whoever
was
on
the
council
at
the
time
it
was
made.
I
know
that
you
have,
as
some
people
have
pointed
out,
you're
in
quite
a
pickle
and
I
appreciate
that
whatever
decision
you
make
here
today,
based
on
your
greater
knowledge
than
I,
have
I
really
hope
that
going
forward,
you
will
look
to
the
future
and
not
to
the
past.
Q
This
is
not
1870
crossroads
of
the
West
with
railroads
meeting
here
and
nothing
else.
It
was
empty.
Then
it's
no
longer
empty.
It
is
packed,
it's
not
1970
either
when
this
idea
would
for
an
inland
port
was
first
put
forth.
Maybe
it
was
a
good
idea,
then,
for
promoting
growth,
but
it's
not
the
kind
of
growth
we
needed.
So
please
going
forward,
look
to
the
future
and
make
this
make
this
a
beautiful
Valley
like
Brigham
Young,
saw
it
so
long
ago.
Thank
you.
A
Yes,
sorry,
but
if
you
have
other
comments
that
you
want
to
make,
we
will
take
a
break
in
a
little
bit
and
of
course
we
can
always
email,
and/or,
write
it
down
and
we'll
get
those
those
comments
for
sure.
If
there
is
no
further
general
comment,
then
we
are
going
to
move
to
the
first
item
on
the
agenda,
which
surprise
is
Northwest
quad,
so
I.
A
The
next
item
on
the
agenda
is
block
67,
and
so,
if
we
have
members
from
the
japanese-american
community
that
want
to
speak,
I'll
reserve
some
time
at
that
time
as
well.
After
this
briefing
I
do
encourage
everyone
to
stick
around
and
have
any
questions
that
that
I
mean
you
may
get
answers
to
some
of
the
questions
that
you
may
have
and
we
will
be
taking
a
break
after
this.
A
A
very
brief
break
after
this
agenda
item
and
I'm
sure
there
any
of
us
will
kind
of
mingle
in
the
hallway
for
a
second,
but
we
do
have
other
business
that
we
need
to
take
care
of.
So
it'll
be
a
brief
break
with
that
I
think
I'm,
inviting
Danny
to
the
table.
Are
you
coming
up
to
the
table
or
no?
No
great
I,
don't
know
that
I
need
you.
A
A
First,
I
want
to
say
that
I
have
had
the
opportunity
over
the
last
year
and
a
half
to
travel
around
the
country
and
go
to
conferences
with
other
council
members
and
mayor's
from
across
the
country,
and
I
find
myself
gushing
over
Salt
Lake
City
and
one
of
the
reasons
I
find
myself
gushing
over
Salt
Lake
City
is
because
it's
an
example.
It
truly
is,
and
this
these
last
two
weeks
has
Blake
very
accurately.
A
It
out
have
been
incredibly
stressful
and
emotional
and
I
might
get
emotional,
but
I
appreciate
the
respect
that
each
of
you
have
shown
each
other
and
have
shown
us
and
it
really.
When
I
said
it
earlier,
I
meant
it
it's
the
epitome
of
what
the
public
public
process
looks
like
and
what
other
people
should
certainly
look
at.
A
As
an
example,
I
also
want
to
say
that
part
of
our
job
as
elected
officials
is
to
protect
the
city
and
to
protect
the
residents,
and
we
have
seen-
and
this
has
been
exampled
and
evidenced
over
and
over
again
in
the
past.
The
one
of
the
only
ways
to
protect
this
city
and
to
protect
our
residents
is
to
have
a
seat
at
the
table.
A
A
We
reached
out
to
the
community
members
and
we
went
and
followed
the
process
we
that
process
certainly
quickened
when
we
heard
rumors
of
impending
doom
of
the
legislators
and
the
state
taking
over
one
third
of
our
city.
One
third,
without
any
of
our
control
and
without
any
of
us
being
a
voice
at
that
table,
so
we
did
what
we
could
to
be
here
and
fight
her
way
back.
We
worked
with
this
state
on
pieces
of
that
legislation,
but
it
wasn't
a
lot.
I'll
be
honest,
I'm.
A
When
we
asked
if
how
the
community
felt
about
it,
they
went
out
and
met
with
the
community
when
they
asked
how
the
Audubon
Society
felt
about
it.
They
went
out
and
met
with
them.
When
we
asked
what
are
the
public
benefits,
they
said
we're
going
to
create
jobs,
we're
going
to
have
environmental
sustainability
and
creativity
and
we're
going
to
ensure
that
we
get
10%
for
affordable
housing
and
it
like
I,
said
it
gives
us.
It
keeps
that
seat
at
the
table.
A
I'm,
not
saying
that
we're
writing
a
check
for
twenty
eight
million
dollars.
If
we
vote
YES
on
this
because
they
still
have
to
earn
it.
This
is
not
a
blank
check
that
just
is
given
away.
They
still
have
to
earn
it.
They
have
to
create
and
follow
through
with
what
they
said.
They
were
going
to
do.
I.
A
This
is
only
the
first
of
them
in
my
opinion,
and
this
is
my
opinion
only
voting
no
on
this
agreement
does
one
thing
and
one
thing
only:
it
removes
our
seat
from
the
table
and
it
removes
our
ability
to
protect
our
city
and
our
residents
as
best
as
we
can
right
now.
Believe
me,
I
did
not
want
to
be
in
this
position
and
I
can't
imagine
that
any
of
these
other
six
people
wanted
to
be
there
I
know.
A
Many
of
you
will
be
disappointed
in
me
and
I
I
get
it
believe
me
I,
remember
the
day
that
I
was
sitting
in
a
hotel
room
and
got
the
call
that
at
the
eleventh
hour,
this
legislation
went
through
and
I
sat
and
I
cried.
I
mean
I
cry
a
lot,
but
this
was
a
lot
and
I
know,
as
I
said
that
there
are
many
that
will
be
disappointed,
but
I
encourage
you
to
reach
out
to
me
to
sit
with
me.
A
A
R
R
So
today
is
this
is
one
of
the
hardest
votes
that
I
had
to
make
since
joining
the
council
and,
as
is
often
the
case,
with
a
lot
of
decisions
that
come
before
us
and
I'll
remind
you,
you
know
we
as
a
city,
we
are
an
administrative
subdivision
of
the
state
and
we
are
required
to
follow
certain
laws
and
I.
Take
that
into
account
when
I
make
my
own
thinking
about
today.
R
Both
sides
of
this
vote
are
extremely
complicated.
The
circumstances
are
complicated.
The
consequences
are
in
some
instances
are
unknown.
The
applicable
law
is
in
many
ways,
unfavorable
the
alternatives
have
been
pursued
and
exhausted.
So
how
do
I
make
the
decision
today
when
I
was
running
for
office?
I
did
not
make
a
lot
of
promises.
I
didn't
promise
to
put
a
stop
sign
at
a
specific
intersection.
I
didn't
promise
to
build
something
on
a
specific
lot.
I
didn't
promise
to
listen
to
one
group
over
the
other.
R
What
I
promised
to
do
was
to
be
data-driven
I
promise
to
do
my
homework.
I
promise
to
show
up
and
ask
questions,
even
if
it
was
awkward
and
even
if
I
knew
that
we
were
not
going
to
like
the
answer
to
these
questions.
I
promise
to
fight
for
progressive
values
while
still
listening
to
all
sides
and
when
it
came
time
to
vote
I
promise
to
make
the
best
decision
I
could,
under
the
circumstances,
with
the
facts
before
me
and
under
the
law
these.
R
These
promises
that
I
made
have
been
put
to
test
many
times
and
never
more
so
than
this.
Last
week
yesterday,
I
held
a
six
hour
open
house
with
resident
Prime,
with
primarily
with
residents
from
my
district
I.
Also
fielded
calls
text,
social
media
posts
and
I'll.
Tell
you
that
the
comp
that
what
we
do
today
it
takes
longer
than
a
short
speech
to
explain
it,
takes
more
than
one
email
to
explain.
R
It
takes
more
than
a
social
media
post
to
explain,
but
after
I
walked
through
all
of
that
information
with
my
residents
and
after
I
answered
the
questions
that
they
came
to
me
with
and
after
getting
those
exhausted
and
brain
brainstorming
with
them.
All
of
my
constituents
walked
away
understanding
that
the
legal
reality
is
what
it
is.
The
political
reality
for
different
values
outside
of
this
community
is
not
favorable.
The
stakes
are
high,
but
continuing
this
agreement
is
the
better
choice.
R
What
you
see
today
is
a
culmination
of
a
multi-year
multi
tool
process.
I
wish
we
could
have
had
I
wish.
We
could
have
this
type
of
interest
and
participation
in
all
of
our
council
decisions,
but
so
again,
I
would
I
wish
we
could
have
this
type
of
participation
and
all
along
the
route
up
until
today,
but
today,
I
am
voting
to
maximize
the
city's
control
over
a
huge
portion
of
the
northwest,
quadrant
I'm
voting
to
protect
City
residents
and
their
taxes
from
foolish
litigation
that
we
will
lose
and
that
we
will
all
pay
for.
R
I'm
voting
that
for
that,
while
still
allowing
the
current
pending
inland
port
litigation
to
go
forward,
I'm
voting
to
fulfill
the
commitment
that
we
made
to
West
Side
residents
to
try
and
find
new
dedicated
revenue
streams
to
make
their
communities
better
I'm
voting
for
post-performance
infrastructure
that
will
become
part
of
public.
We
owned
water
sewer,
roads
and
streetlight
systems,
I'm
voting
to
hold
developers
accountable
for
the
environmental
promises
that
they
make
to
this
community
and
I'm
voting
to
permanently
protect
over
half.
As
Amy
said,
4,000
acres
or
some
400
city
blocks
permanently
from
development.
Q
Have
love
and
gratitude
in
my
heart
for
everyone
who
has
spoken
today
with
such
passion
about
the
climate
crisis.
We
are
in
about
alternative
energies,
about
alternative
economies
and
I,
wish
that
the
reality
that
we
face
today
and
that
we
faced
since
2017
meant
that
oh
no
vote
today
would
actually
advance
our
climate
desires,
but
actually
the
opposite
would
be
true.
Q
It's
been
truly
a
strange
and
sometimes
difficult
experience
to
be
seen
by
many
people
as
being
on
the
opposite
side
of
the
inland
port
issue,
but
this
has
never
actually
been
a
choice
for
Salt
Lake,
City
leaders.
The
question
over
these
years
has
been
city
control
or
state.
Mayor
bee
scoopski
signed
the
contracts
with
come--it
cometa
in
rio,
tinto
last
january,
with
her
eyes,
open,
I,
believe
and
with
intention,
which
was
to
ensure
that
that
land
north
of
I-80
was
legally
planned
and
legally
protected
from
state
legislation
we
knew
was
coming.
Q
We
just
didn't
know
how
bad
it
would
be
if
the
City
Council
rejects
this
reimbursement,
the
city
will
be
in
breach
of
a
contract
and
I
doubt
they
would
even
take
the
time
to
sue
us.
The
inland
port
authorities
are
already
drawn
it
into
their
area,
breaching
that
contract
would
result
in
the
city
losing
planning,
control,
environmental
standards
and
tax
revenue
from
7,000
acres
of
the
northwest
quadrant,
including
the
4,000
acres
of
sensitive
wetlands.
Q
Voting
against
it
might
make
us
feel
better
for
a
moment,
but
it
would
be
devastating
for
the
city
and
for
the
environment.
I,
refuse
to
step
aside
and
make
it
even
easier
for
the
state
legislature
in
the
inland
port
authority
to
take
full
control
of
an
area
at
the
expense
of
our
city's
needs
and
priorities.
It
would
be
unilateral
surrender
and
in
good
conscience,
I
cannot
do
it.
S
About
the
Morrow's,
thank
you,
madam
chair.
Thank
you.
Everybody
for
your
comments
and
I'm
gonna
read
my
statement
so
that
it's
as
clear
as
possible
in
my
professional
City
planning
of
opinion,
I
cannot
discount
the
amount
of
work
put
into
by
my
peers,
other
professional
city
planners
in
the
master
planning
of
the
northwest
quadrant,
and
this
has
been
a
project
that
goes
even
before
I
started
at
the
Planning
Division,
even
in
the
90s.
We
were
talking
about
this
area
in
the
best
balance
for
for
the
development
of
this
area
has
been
identified
for
light
industrial.
S
All
of
this
with
having
in
mind
that
we
can
produce
policies
that
are
sustainable,
that
are
environmentally
responsible
and
promote
the
economic
development
of
our
city.
I
agree
with
the
mayor's
spokesman,
Matthew
raucous
when
he
said
that
these
are
women,
reflects
our
values,
get
environmental
protections
and
we
are
the
final
stage
of
just
fulfilling
our
contracts
with
somebody
who
is
willing
to
actually
operate
with
the
city
as
a
fair
partner.
S
I
see
these
agreements,
this
agreement
as
an
extension
of
the
existing
International
Center
in
an
opportunity
for
Salt
Lake
City
to
preserve
thousands
of
acres
for
Wildlife
primary
mental
protections
and
which
very
well
could
be
completely
lost
if
we
don't
ratify
the
present
agreement,
I
rather
be
at
the
table
having
Sony
and
taxing
authority.
This
means
that
I
will
have
the
authority
to
amend
zoning
districts
in
that
area
to
be
in
tune
with
sustainable
practices
to
protect
the
environment
and
the
development.
S
This
is
also
a
project
that
is
performance-based,
meaning
that
the
tax
increment
reimbursement
will
only
happen
if
the
property
taxes
increase
due
to
the
development
in
the
area.
The
balance
to
me
leans
towards
moving
forward
with
this
agreement.
The
responsible
thing
to
do
is
to
ratify
it.
Thank
you.
T
T
When
the
City
Council
got
involved
in
the
inland
port
process,
we
were
unanimous
as
a
council
and
we
were
unanimous
with
the
administration.
We
were
very,
very
much
against
Senate
bill,
230
and
4,
which
was
the
first
inland
port
bill
that
actually
created
the
jurisdiction
of
the
inland
port
authority.
That
was
the
legislation
that
took
a
third
of
the
city,
away
from
the
the
not
only
the
taxing
jurisdiction,
the
Planning
and
Zoning
jurisdiction
as
well.
The
council
and
the
mayor
were
united
in
that
opposition.
T
The
council
continued
in
working
with
the
legislature
to
try
to
improve
that
bill
to
try
to
improve
that.
We
were
starting
somewhere
where
we
were
facing
an
issue
that
was
a
hundred
percent
bad
for
Salt
Lake
City.
There
was
zero
benefit
and
we
had
zero
authority
over
any
of
it.
But
we
worked
to
add
different
pieces.
We've
worked
at
environmental
requirements,
we've
worked
with
the
legislature
to
add
air
monitor
and
we,
the
legislature
to
add,
affordable
housing
pieces
to
that
their
their
small.
Do
you
know
what
and
we're
now
facing
a
situation?
T
That
is
that
we
started
out
at
a
hundred
percent
bad
and
now
we're
probably
70
percent
bad.
It's
still
bad,
but
without
us
engaging
without
us
working
with
the
legislature
to
continue
to
try
to
find
better
results
before
there's
ever
a
shovel
in
the
ground.
We
would
be
back
with
this
entire
project
being
a
hundred
percent
bad.
There
is
one
piece,
so
my
colleagues
have.
Those
who
have
spoken
have
talked
a
little
bit
about
this,
that
this
development
agreement
was
grandfathered
in
the
legislation.
That
is
true.
The
legislature
has
not
drawn
the
boundaries
around
this.
T
T
That's
the
issue,
and
I've
now
heard
you
know
over
the
past
couple
of
weeks
that
maybe
it's
better
to
work
with
the
state
than
with
the
city
because
of
you
know
the
environmental
concessions
that
we
were
able
to
get
in,
and
that's
great
to
hear.
You
know
that
there
is
finally
some
acknowledgment
that
our
work
has
been
as
being
appreciated,
because
it's
not
easy,
it's
not
fun.
T
The
the
four
thousand
acres
that
we
were
able
to
set
aside
the
other
environmental
considerations
and
working
with
the
developer
would
all
disappear,
and
the
fact
that
I'm
now
hearing
some
of
some
people
saying
that
you
know
maybe
they
would
have
a
better
shot
working
with
the
inland
port
authority
in
the
legislature,
is
crazy.
I'm,
sorry,
you
know
it,
but
that
so
you
know
in
in
I
want
to
address
I,
don't
think
the
is
here,
but
I
really
do
appreciate
Thea's
comments,
because
she
asked
us
to
look
toward
to
look
to
the
future.
T
T
My
commitment
as
a
council
member
all
along
has
been
that
I
am
NOT
going
to
walk
away
from
from
this
issue
because
it
is
politically
popular
or
because
it
is
easy
I'm
going
to
continue
to
try
to
do
the
very
best
to
ensure
not
only
that
we
have
a
seat
at
the
table,
but
that
we
are
going
to
actually
get
different
concessions
back.
Does
that
mean
that
this
is
going
that
we
are
gonna
start
from
scratch?
T
No,
but
do
you
know
what
I'm
not
willing
to
walk
away
from
it,
I'm
not
willing
to
tell
you
something,
I'm
not
willing
to
vote
in
a
way
that
would
that
would
make
everyone
feel
good,
including
me
to
say:
hey,
I'm
gonna!
Do
this,
knowing
in
my
knowing
full
well
that
I
can't
deliver
and
that
no
one
will
be
able
to
deliver
what
you
all
think
and
no
vote
would
be.
I
can't
do
that
in
good
faith
and
I
understand
the
political
consequences.
I
understand
that
you
know
that
this
is
disappointing.
T
Council
member
who
Wharton
mentioned
that
this
is
the
hardest
vote
he
is
made,
I'm
in
my
second
term
on
the
city
council.
This
is
by
far
the
hardest
vote
I've
ever
made.
This
is
by
far
the
hardest
issue,
because
do
you
know
what
it
is?
It
takes
a
long
time
to
explain
what
the
nuances
of
this
are.
We
do
not
have
the
ability
to
play
bumper
sticker
politics
with
this.
We
can't
sit
back
and
say
you
know
we're
gonna
vote
no
or
we're
gonna.
Do
this
or
we're
opposed
to
this.
T
If
we
did,
there
would
be
zero
new
concessions
in
the
in
the
in
in
this
special
session
last
year
and
in
legislative
session
in
2019.
My
commitment
is
that
I
will
continue
to
work
with
all
of
you.
We
do
hear
you.
You
may
not
think
that
we're
listening.
You
may
not
think
that,
because
we're
not
voting
the
way
that
you
want
us
to
vote
that
you
know
this
doesn't
have
an
impact.
It
absolutely
does,
and
my
commitment
to
all
of
you
is
that
I
will
continue
to
work
to
make
this
better.
T
Q
Living
in
glendale
and
having
a
five-year-old
material,
I'm
sensitive
to
this
vote
and
the
the
port
itself
and
this
responsibility
over
there.
My
decision
comes
down
essentially
the
same
things.
You've
heard
from
particularly
councilmember
Mendenhall
and
councilmember
Luke
about
the
the
city's
ability
to
influence
that
particular
parcel
and
the
parcels
around
it
and
our
ability
to
continue
to
influence
what
goes
forward
with
at
the
state
level
and
with
the
inland
port.
Q
R
A
By
board
member
Johnston
any
further
discussion
on
this
motion,
all
those
in
favor
hi
any
opposed
the
motion
carries.
We
are
going
to
be
done
with
this
agenda
item
and
we're
going
to
take
about
a
10
minute,
break
I
know
that
puts
us
a
little
behind,
but
we
just
have
the
block
67.
Next,
if
there's
anyone
who
wishes
to
speak
to
block
67,
there
will
be
an
opportunity
to
do
that.
J
J
J
J
J
J
A
A
Okay,
we
are
back
from
break
and
going
on
to
agenda
item
number
2
with
the
RDA,
which
is
block.
67
I
am
going
to
open
it
up
for
general
comment,
considering
we
kind
of
went
a
little
out
of
character
on
the
last
thing,
just
given
the
amount
of
people
here.
If
there
is
anyone
here
who
would
like
to
speak
to
block
67,
please
raise
your
hand.
I
don't
have
any
cards
do
I
Cindy
Lou,
no
okie
doke,
then
we
will
just
get
started
with
the
update,
I.
Think
Corinne
and
Danny.
A
H
G
Q
And
then
my
computer
won't
cooperate
so
today
the
RDA
board
is
set
to
consider
voting
on
the
interlocal
agreement
between
the
RDA
and
the
county
for
the
block
sixty-seven
north
development
project.
This
is
I
believe
that
sorry
and
believe
there
has
been
conversation
which
you
may
already
be
aware
of
about
the
right
from
last
week
about
some
of
the
contours
of
this
development.
Q
The
interlocal
agreement
with
the
county
and
it
is
it
includes,
for
example,
certain
amounts
of
safeguards
to
make
sure
that
the
Japantown
community
will
receive
some
benefits
and
some
mitigating
efforts
by
the
city
and
by
the
county
to
make
sure
that
that
the
board
does
keep
its
promise
to
do.
Try
to
help
out
that
area.
If
there
are
other
questions
or
then
I'm
sure,
either
Danny
or
Corrine
or
I
can
try
to
address
them.
We
also
have
a
motion
sheet,
which
is
in
your
folders,
for
you
to
consider
when
that
time
comes.
A
All
right
any
questions,
I
know:
we've
all
heard
a
lot
about
black
sixty
seven
over
the
last
year,
zipping
longer,
maybe
and
again,
I
want
to
just
and
extend
a
super
thanks
to
all
the
staffs
that
have
worked
with
the
communities
and
the
county
and
the
developers
to
make
sure
we
have
a
good
project
at
hand,
I
think
so
and
and
all
the
community
involvement.
So
that's
all
I
have
to
say.
Does
anybody
have
anything
else
to
say
questions
Andrew.
Q
A
S
As
we
talked
earlier
at
a
small
group
meeting,
I'm
very
excited
about
this
project
and
also
as
a
city
planner
and
as
of
working
in
nonprofits
in
the
past.
It's
usually
the
the
community
groups
get
together
and
plan
and
their
community
or
their
block,
but
the
funds
are
not
available
or
they
come
later
or
things
cannot
happen
as
quickly
as
we
have
hoped.
S
But
with
this
project
and
with
a
developer
willing,
I
highly
encouraged
the
community
there
to
continue
being
involved
and
I
know,
you
have
to
continue
working
on
your
plans
and
your
goals
so
that
this
can
happen
sooner
than
than
what
I've
had
to
deal
with
in
the
past
and
so
take
advantage
of
this
opportunity
and
let's
have
a
really
cool,
more
more
cooler
than
what
it
is
right
now,
japantown,
so
Chris.
Thank
you.

Basically
in
the
right
where
the
line
of
the
TVs
is
so
there's
connection
from
100
South
to
the
mid
block
walkway.
Sorry
I
should
use
this
one,
so
basically
I
won't
go
through
all
of
them,
but
basically
what
ever
the
developer
committed
to
as
far
as
redesign
so
that
it's
not
back
of
house
facing
100
South.
Yes,.
C
P
R
H
I
think
that's
a
great
question.
There
is
not
an
affordable
housing
component
within
the
building's
themselves
and
phase
one,
but
there
is
a
10
percent
set
aside
from
the
tax
increment,
so
that
is
money
that
will
be
available
for
the
agency
to
spend
on
affordable
housing
elsewhere.
As
far
as
phase
2,
we
do
not
have
any
financial
participation
commitments
in
phase
2
at
this
time.
That
would
be
something
that
would
come
back
to
the
board.
If
that
was
requested,
there
is
not
necessarily
anything
called
out
within
phase
2
right
now.
H
H
Can't
speak
to
what
level
of
conversations
the
developer
has
had
with
the
Jackson
apartments,
but
I
can
say
that
as
an
agency,
we
have
received
an
application
from
the
owner
of
the
Jackson
apartments
as
part
of
our
NOFA
and
I'm
gonna
awkwardly
look
at
Tammy
right
now
to
confirm
that
that's
correct!
Okay,.
P
Then
also
as
far
as
the
japantown
representatives
did
call
everybody
today
and
there
was
a
lot
of
conflicts,
but
we
have
been
working
with
them
on
the
schedule,
so
there's
also
opportunity
for
public
comment
and
the
September
7th
meeting
for
City
Council
for
the
CRI
plan
and
the
city
agency
agreement.
So
hopefully
that
schedule
will
work
a
little
bit
better
for
members.
So
you
can
hear
from
them
again
in
the
future
and
just.
Q
By
way
of
reminder,
so
in
a
few
minutes,
as
the
City
Council
you'll
be
reviewing
the
community
reinvestment
area
plan
and
the
city
RDA
interlocal
agreement,
so
those
steps
are
coming
today.
They
were
originally
scheduled
for
last
week
they
were
put
off
so
that
will
happen
soon.
Great
Thank,
You
Erin
to
Chris's
point
about
the
potential
for
affordable
housing
in
future
phases.
Q
So
thank
you
and
to
all
the
stakeholders,
including
the
county,
for
the
hard
work
you've
put
in,
to
bring
something
that
really
is
set
to
serve
the
Japanese
American
community
and
highlight
that
area.
So
I,
as
we
talked
about
in
the
small
group
meeting,
I
encourage
the
community
to
put
together
a
CIP
application,
bring
it
to
this
this
body
as
the
City
Council
in
the
future,
and
help
us
bring
this
to
a
fruition.
Thank
you.
A
R
Back
madam
chair
I
move
that
the
board
adopt
the
resolution
authorizing
execution
of
the
interlocal
agreement
with
Salt
Lake
County
for
a
portion
of
tax
increment
for
the
block
sixty-seven
north
community
reinvestment
area,
subject
to
the
city's
adoption
of
the
corresponding
community
reinvestment
project
area.
Second,
all.
