Description
No description was provided for this meeting.
If this is YOUR meeting, an easy way to fix this is to add a description to your video, wherever mtngs.io found it (probably YouTube).
A
A
A
B
And
move
forward
slc
tv.
Are
we
good
to
go.
B
B
This
is
a
precautionary
measure
for
the
safety
of
the
public
and
city
employees
and
is
based
on
the
latest
reports
from
the
centers
for
disease
control
and
prevention.
We
are
continuing
to
monitor
the
situation
in
advance
of
each
meeting
and
the
council
will
return
with
hybrid
or
in-person
meetings
when
appropriate.
B
We
are
truly
grateful
for
the
public's
patience
but,
most
importantly,
we
are
glad
you
are
joining
us
today.
We
are
also
in
the
middle
of
the
process
to
fill
council
member
roger's
seat
in
district
1.
for
more
information
on
the
process
to
fill
this
seat.
Please
visit
the
council's
web
site
at
www.slc.gov.
B
Forward,
slash
council
also,
I
believe
applications
are
due
by
next
friday,
so
anyone
who
is
interested
in
that
seat
should
apply.
We
will
have
to
pick
somebody
for
the
interim
between
november,
between,
after
the
election
until
january,
when
the
whoever
is
elected
is
sworn
in
so
fyi,
and
I
got
through
that
talking
about
james
without
crying
good
good
yay
me
with
that
we
are
going
to
start
our
council
meeting
by
a
pledge
of
allegiance.
B
Second,
there
we
go.
We
are
now
on
to
our
public
meeting
rules
for
the
public
comment
opportunities.
Today,
we
are
accepting
your
comments
through
webex,
for
those
of
you
whose
only
option
is
to
call
in
staff,
will
be
monitoring
a
separate
telephone
line
before
we
begin
moving
through
our
agenda,
I
want
to
mention
and
review
our
rules
of
decorum.
These
are
guidelines
that
the
city
council
has
always
had
in
place
to
help
our
meeting
progress
in
an
orderly
civil
efficient
way.
B
B
If
you
use
profanity
during
during
your
comment,
your
line
will
be
muted
if
it
and
if
any
comments
reach
a
level
of
disrespect,
I
will
ask
that
you
be
muted
and
you
will
forfeit
your
opportunity
to
address
the
council
tonight
if
you
feel
you
need
to
use
profanity
to
express
your
point.
You're
welcome
to
email,
council
members
or
call
our
comment
line.
B
This
really
is
to
ensure
that
everybody
feels
safe
in
giving
their
comments
in
this
public
meeting.
In
addition,
our
staff
will
request
for
your
name
during
the
registration
process
to
limit
instruction.
Your
name
cannot
include
a
message
or
violate
our
rules
of
decorum.
If
your
registered
name
does
not
meet
this
requirement
that
our
staff
will
use.
The
chat
feature
to
gather
that
information
from
you,
isaac,
canado
from
our
staff,
is
helping
to
moderate
the
meeting
and
will
be
messaging
with
the
attendees
to
coordinate
on
any
questions
with
your
commenting.
B
B
B
Now
we
will
move
on
to
item
a4.
This
is
to
approve
the
work
session
meeting
minutes
of
tuesday
april
13,
2021
tuesday
april
20th,
2021
and
tuesday
september,
7th
2021,
the
formal
meeting
minutes
of
tuesday
september
7th
2020
2021,
as
well
as
the
meeting
minute
excerpts
relating
to
delegating
go
bond
actions
from
tuesday
september
21st
2021.
D
D
E
F
B
And
I
am
a
yes
that
passes
unanimously,
we're
now
in
section
b
of
our
agenda,
which
is
our
public
hearings.
We
will
begin
our
public
hearings
at
this
time,
and
amanda
lau
on
our
staff
will
be
calling
the
names
of
those
who
wish
to
comment
and
unmuting
lines
once
we
open
the
public
comment.
Amanda
will
announce
three
names
at
a
time
so
that
people
can
have
some
notice
and
be
prepared
to
speak
when
it
is
your
turn
to
speak,
amanda
will
say
your
name
unmute
your
line,
and
you
may
begin.
B
B
If
you
do
not
wish
to
speak,
please
message
our
staff
to
let
them
know
or
when
the
host
states,
your
name,
please
just
let
them
know
that
you
are
here
to
listen,
mind
you.
This
does
get
confusing,
but
at
this
time
we
are
just
taking
comments
on
the
public
hearings
that
are
listed
in
the
agenda.
We
will
get
to
general
comments
later
in
the
agenda
where
you
can
speak
on
anything
that
is
not
also.
B
That
is
not
currently
on
the
agenda
today
for
a
public
hearing,
so
our
first
public
hearing
is
an
ordinance
that
would
partially
vacate
a
portion
of
14th
avenue
adjacent
to
a
property
located
at
538
east
14th
avenue
before
we
begin
taking
comments
I'll
turn
the
time
over
to
brian
fulmer
council
staff
policy
analyst
to
give
a
short
introduction.
Brian
the
floor
is
yours,.
G
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
This
proposal
was
to
close
and
vacate
a
portion
of
the
h
street
side
of
this
corner
property.
The
applicants
had
a
permit
from
the
city
to
replace
a
fence
encroaching
on
the
east
side
of
their
lot.
When
the
permit
was
issued,
there
was
no
cost,
but
when
the
permit
was
due
to
be
renewed
10
years
later,
the
city
charged
for
exclusive
use
of
the
property
which
aligns
with
state
statute
rather
than
enter
into
a
lease
agreement.
G
The
applicants
are
requesting
the
city
vacate
the
subject
right
of
way
and
sell
it
to
them
at
market
value.
I
want
to
point
out
this
will
not
close
the
street
to
any
pedestrian
or
vehicular
activity.
It's
just
to
sell
the
potentially
sell
the
property
that
is
already
part
being
used
as
part
of
the
applicant's
backyard,
and
that
is
my
introduction.
H
H
In
that
case,
we
have
no
other
commenters
for
this
item.
J
Madam
chair,
I
move
that
the
council
close
the
public
hearing
and
defer
action
to
a
future
council
meeting.
Second.
C
K
C
B
Moving
on
to
item
b2,
which
is
our
last
public
hearing,
this
is
an
ordinance
regarding
budget
amendment
number
three
for
fiscal
year:
2021
2022.
B
B
H
For
this
public
hearing
item
we
have
four
commenters
registered.
We
have
ali
reza
vasiri,
followed
by
nigel
swaby,
jan
ellen
burton
and
then
george
chapman
alireza.
Your
mic
is
unneeded
and
you
can
go
ahead.
H
M
Thank
you
very
much
good
evening.
Council
members,
my
name
is
nigel
swaby
and
I
live
in
the
neighborhood
that
is
very
close
to
this
to
the
former
airport
airport
in.
I
want
to
express
my
concern
about
how
this
came
about.
Last
year.
The
airport
inn
was
created
by
this
council
as
a
temporary
overflow
shelter
for
the
winter
and
then
switch
point
bought
it,
and
now
it
has
become
a
permanent
shelter.
M
I
would
ordinarily
have
huge
concerns
about
that,
but
because
of
the
way
that
shelters
can
impact
neighborhoods,
but
this
is
a
55
plus
shelter
and
or
deeply
affordable
housing,
and
I,
like
the
model
that
switchpoint
has
on
this,
I
have
met
with
them,
but
it's
concerning
to
me
how
this
came
about
in
that
without
any
public
input,
you've
put
125
deeply
affordable
units
in
our
neighborhood.
H
Thank
you.
I
got
word
from
jan
ellen
burton
that
she
is
not
here
to
comment
on
this
item,
so
our
last
commenter
is
george
chapman
george,
your
mic
is
unmuted
feel
free
to
go
ahead.
E
Okay,
the
airport
in
is,
I
believe,
in
the
airport
overlay
zone,
which
normally
would
discourage
or
limit
housing
without
indoor
air
ventilation,
or
something
like
that.
The
reason
I
mention
that
is
you're,
giving
two
million
dollars
county's,
given
two
million
and
overall
nigel's
right,
it's
a
might
be
a
great
use,
but
it
didn't
need
more
transparency.
E
Why
not?
Why
not
allow
housing
on
the
tens
of
thousands
of
acres
south
of
I-80
and
at
the
international
center?
That
would
actually
make
it
more
livable.
You
claim
to
want
walkability,
but
you're
actually
encouraging
driving
without
it.
So
I'm
asking
you
to
do
what
you
did
at
the
airport
inn
and
allow
housing
at
the
international
center
and
other
areas
that
you
keep
claiming
you
can't
have
housing
at.
Those
are
my
comments.
B
Thank
you
for
everyone
who
commented
and
is
here,
are
here
to
listen
council
members,
I'll
look
for
a
motion.
C
B
L
C
B
And
I
am
a
yes
that
passes
unanimously.
Thank
you.
We
are
now
on
to
item
section
c
of
the
agenda
potential
action
items.
Our
first
potential
action
item
is
a
rezone
and
master
plan
amendment
at
554
and
560
south
300
east.
B
M
E
F
N
C
C
B
C
D
B
C
B
Our
next
item
is
the
item
number
four,
which
is
an
ordinance
that
would
vacate
a
portion
of
city
owned
alley,
situated
adjacent
to
properties
located
at
968,
east
elm
avenue,
974,
east
elm,
avenue,
980,
east
elm
avenue
and
2188
south
1000
roots.
I
will
look
for
emotion.
C
C
C
C
I
have
a
short
moment
of
personal
privilege.
Sure
thanks.
I
just
wanted
to
say
on
that
last
item.
I,
while
I'm
supportive
of
that
specific
application.
C
I
am
really
excited
about
the
adopt
an
alleyway
program
that
we
have
been
working
on
in
the
city
and
I
hope
that
the
city
can
start
and
the
residents
can
start
moving
a
different
direction
with
regard
to
our
alleyways,
rather
than
closing
them
off
turning
them
into
really
a
true
community
asset.
I
know
that
every
decision
on
alleyways
is
fact-dependent
and
in
this
case
there
was
a
structure
that
was
obstructing
the
alleyway
for
multiple,
multiple
generations
of
owners
and
many
many
years.
C
So
in
this
case,
I
am
okay
moving
forward
with
the
alley
vacation,
but
in
general
I
definitely
hope
that
we
will
start
to
embrace
our
alleyways
as
the
great
community
asset
that
they
can
be
thanks.
B
Thank
you
that
we
are
now
moving
on
to
section
d,
which
is
our
comment
section,
madam
mayor,
as
always
thank
you
for
being
with
us
today,
council
members,
do
you
have
any
questions
for
madam
mayor
mendenhall.
B
B
I
did
go
over
the
city
council's
rules
of
decorum
earlier,
like
roughly
20
minutes
ago,
so
hopefully
everyone
still
remembers
to
be
respectful
to
one
another.
When
giving
your
comments,
we
are
accepting
your
comments
through
webex
and
for
those
whose
only
option
is
to
call
in
staff
is
monitoring
a
separate
telephone
line.
Again
isaac
is
helping
moderate
the
meeting
and
can
message
with
attendees.
B
If
you
need
to
coordinate
amanda
from
our
staff
will
be
calling
names
similarly
to
how
she
did
just
a
few
minutes
ago
during
her
public
hearing.
If
there
are
questions,
please
use
the
chat,
feature
and
work
with
our
staff.
I
do
ask
that
you
keep
in
mind
that
they
have
a
lot
of
other
things
going
on
and
so
limit
that
to
technical
issues.
B
If
you
can
please,
if
there
are
other
times
that
you
would
like
to
comment
instead
of
making
a
comment
tonight
in
our
meeting,
we
have
listed
the
information
of
how
to
do
such
a
thing
via
mail,
email
and
telephone
in
the
chat.
So
please
look
into
that
sorry.
There
was
a
kitten
that
just
jumped
on
me
with
that
we
will
turn
to
amanda.
For
our
first
comment,.
H
Thank
you,
council,
chair
council
members
and
to
our
members
of
the
public.
We
have
currently
30
commenters
registered
for
general
comments,
starting
with
jan
ellen
burton
followed
by
leigh
fulmer
and
then
aubry
white
jan.
You
are
unmuted,
go
ahead.
B
I'm
sorry
can
we
hold
on
one
sec,
jen,
we'll
restart
your
timer,
but
I
I
don't
know
if
it
was
just
me,
but
we
had
a
really
hard
time
hearing.
You
don't
know
if
you
could
maybe
speak
letter
into
the
microphone
yeah.
Sorry
about
that,
but
you
will
start
your
two
minutes
over
again.
If
you
don't
mind.
D
Thank
you.
I
was
saying
that
following
the
hurricane
force
winds
in
salt
lake
city,
I
took
my
dog
for
a
walk
in
liberty
park.
I
was
startled
to
see
signs
indicating
that
mosquito
abatement
was
occurring
there
at
that
time.
I
believe
physicians
for
a
healthy
environment
was
actively
preparing
to
research
the
topic
of
mosquito
abatement
more
extensively.
D
I
had
read
an
article
in
the
high
country
news
about
oregon
jackson,
oregon
where
residents
were
opposing
spraying
in
the
forest
nearby
I
did
not
previously
know.
Spraying
was
being
done
here.
Although
I
have
lived
in
salt
lake
city
for
about
40
years
now,
I
am
being
asked
to
pay
more
taxes
for
more
mosquito
abatement.
Despite
the
harm
this
may
be
doing
to
wildlife
and
humans
alike.
D
Pesticides
are
toxic
to
the
brain
and
are
associated
with
impaired
brain
development
and
behavioral
disorders
in
children
in
swampy
areas
in
new
york,
in
which
aerial
spraying
was
conducted.
Since
2003
children
were
found
to
be
37
more
likely
to
be
diagnosed
with
autism
or
developmental
delays
in
utah,
we
have
a
relatively
high
rate
of
autism.
I
wonder
how
that
correlates
to
the
time
frame
in
which
spraying
has
been
conducted.
D
Additionally,
spraying
pesticides
increases
air
pollution,
it
releases
vocs
which
are
a
precursor
of
ozone
in
the
summer,
and
particulate
pollution
in
the
winter.
Mosquitoes
may
actually
resist
the
effect
of
the
pesticides,
but
humans
and
other
animals
will
suffer
increasingly,
as
the
pesticides
are
replied
are
applied.
D
H
Next
we
have
lee
fulmer,
followed
by
aubry
white
and
then
victor
foster
lee.
You
are
unmuted,
go
ahead:
okay,
cool.
D
Thank
you
hi.
My
name
is
lee
fulmer
and,
although
I
am
actually
not
one
of
your
constituents,
I
live
in
lehigh,
I'm
coming
before
you
tonight,
because
I
feel,
like
salt
lake
city
city's
elected
officials
could
and
should
be
just
the
leaders
that
all
utams
need
in
taking
action
to
save
the
great
salt
lake.
I
feel
a
sense
of
urgency
about
this,
because
my
sister
who
lives
in
salt
lake
valley
has
developed
onset,
adult
onset
asthma
since
moving
here
from
california
some
years
ago,
and
I
think
it's
because
of
the
terrible
air
quality
here.
D
With
this
watershed,
it's
alarming
to
read
how
quickly
great
salt
lake
is
drying
up
the
toxic
materials
in
the
like
lake
bed,
that,
when
they're
exposed,
they
cause
heavy
metals
to
drift
into
the
airshed,
an
airshed
that
is
infamous
for
its
regular
inversions,
its
high
particulate
matter
and
ozone
stuck
oppressively
in
the
bowl
that
was
lake
bonneville,
it's
harmful
for
us
humans,
harmful
for
the
ozone
and
are
harmful
for
the
biosphere
and
harmful
to
the
economy.
D
It's
not.
This
is
not
something
that
just
one
governmental
body
or
stakeholder
or
community
group
can
ensure
it
will
require
all
of
us
and
I'm
hoping
the
city
council
members
can
lead
the
charge
in
demanding
that
meaningful
action
be
taken
to
make
sure
that
water
makes
it
to
the
great
salt
lake.
Thank
you
for
your
time
tonight
and
for
hearing
me
out
on
this
issue.
H
F
F
A
dust
bowl
situation
in
the
great
salt
lake
basin
is
a
very
probable
natural
disaster
that
will
affect
the
ski
industry,
environment,
other
jobs,
utahns
and
tourists.
If
we
continue
to
allow
the
water
within
the
great
salt
lake
to
be
diverted,
this
could
happen.
The
namesake
of
our
capital
needs
to
be
protected,
because
if
we
don't
act
now
it
could
become
non-existent
further.
We
saw
how
appalling
the
air
quality
was
this
summer
and
the
winters
only
get
worse.
F
Adding
the
dust
and
chemicals
that
is
within
the
great
salt
lake
would
only
worsen
our
air
quality.
The
great
salt
lake
contributes
to
1.3
billion
dollars
to
our
economy
and
employs
7
700
jobs.
Each
year,
one
set
study
in
2019
found
that
the
potential
costs
of
a
drying
salt,
great
salt
lake,
could
be
as
much
as
1.6
billion
to
2.
F
2.17
billion
a
year
and
over
6
500
jobs.
Many
studies
show
the
dire
consequences
that
will
come
from
the
great
salt
lake
drying
up.
We
must
actively
work
together
in
order
to
make
the
change
now.
Lawmakers
politicians,
scientists,
activists
and
citizens
of
this
state
can
all
make
a
difference
to
ensure
a
better
future.
I've
lived
here
my
entire
life
and
loved
the
natural
features
of
this
state,
and
I
do
not
want
the
environment
to
take
a
back
seat
in
our
policies.
H
O
Thank
you,
hello.
My
name
is
victor
foster
and
I'm
a
student
at
west
high,
I'm
here
today
to
urge
the
city
to
help
save
the
great
salt
lake
in
2021.
The
water
levels
of
the
lake
reached
historic
lows,
along
with
a
hundred
percent
of
utah,
experiencing
drought
and
worsening
air
quality.
These
incidents
are
neither
unimportant
nor
unrelated
as
drought
in
utah
increases.
The
water
levels
will
continue
to
diminish
and,
as
the
lake
dries
up
decades
worth
of
pesticides,
arsenic
and
industry.
O
Chemicals
will
be
released
from
the
dust
on
the
lake
bed
further
damaging
our
already
appalling
air
quality.
Furthermore,
the
lake
is
a
valuable
component
of
our
economy,
bringing
in
over
a
hundred
bringing
over
one
billion
dollars
a
year.
It
is
evident
that
the
drying
up
of
the
great
salt
lake
would
have
massive
negative
economic
and
ecological
implications,
not
to
mention
the
namesake
of
our
city
becoming
what
amounts
to
a
regrettable
embarrassment
instead
of
a
point
of
pride.
O
To
help
stop
this.
The
city
must
be
adamant
about
taking
concrete
steps
towards
a
more
environmentally
sustainable
plan.
Demand
should
include,
but
not
be
limited
to,
building
on
the
hcr10
bill,
which
is
a
good
start
in
environmental
progress,
but
currently
inadequate
in
addressing
the
severity
of
the
situation,
oppose
the
bear
river
development
project
that
would
dry
up
much
of
the
lake
tax
agricultural
exports
that
use
a
lot
of
water
to
incentivize,
a
more
environmentally
friendly
alternative
and
eliminate
hidden
property
taxes
to
water
districts.
O
So
the
prices
of
the
water
reflect
the
true
cost
as
a
young
person.
I
don't
want
to
have
to
explain
to
my
children
that
the
reason
the
lake
is
dry
and
the
state
is
so
polluted
is
because
people
didn't
care
enough
to
try
to
change
it
going
forward.
We
must
all
be
leaders
in
combating
environmental
destruction,
climate
change
and
unhealthy
air.
We
can
wait
all
we
want,
but
these
things
won't
wait
for
us.
The
time
is
now
to
demand
fundamental
and
concrete
changes
and
not
become
apathetic
saving.
H
Next
we
have
jordan
brown,
followed
by
michael
westbrook
and
then
zachary
frankel
jordan.
Your
mic
is
unmuted,
go
ahead.
O
Thank
you
hi.
My
name
is
jordan.
I
actually
live
in
sandy,
so
I'm
not
actually
one
of
your
constituents
either.
However,
I
am
coming
before
you
tonight,
because
I
also
want
to
see
salt
lake
salt
lake
city's
elected
officials
be
leaders
in
saving
the
great
salt
lake,
I'm
speaking
to
you
tonight,
because
of
how
I
feel
about
the
great
salt
lake
and
what
its
imminent
collapse
could
spell
for
our
community
in
the
valley
as
a
whole.
A
drying
great
salt
lake
threatens
our
health
economy,
ecology
and
livelihoods.
O
The
great
salt
lake
is
facing
a
situation
in
my
opinion,
not
unlike
the
rlc
in
kazakhstan
and
uzbekistan,
an
ecological
disaster
resulting
from
the
unsustainable
diversion
of
water
from
the
lake
to
projects
that
are
not
worth
the
damage
they
are
causing
to
the
environment.
It's
shocking
to
me
that
antelope
island
isn't
even
really
an
island
anymore.
O
A
study
by
utah
state
university
says
that,
just
to
maintain
current
lake
levels,
we
need
to
re
reduce
water
diversion
from
the
rivers
that
flow
into
the
great
salt
lake
by
30
percent.
This
year,
as
some
have
mentioned,
saw
some
of
the
worst
air
quality
salt
lake
has
ever
seen
from
my
house
only
a
few
miles
west
of
the
mountains.
I
was
unable
to
see
them
for
weeks.
O
At
a
time,
researchers
predict
that
we
could
be
seeing
a
dust
bowl-like
scenario,
as
aubrey
said,
should
this
issue
not
be
quickly
addressed
and
resolved,
I'm
asking
for
the
council
to
immediately
work
towards
decreasing
the
city's
diversions
from
our
water
sources
by
at
least
30
percent
as
soon
as
possible.
City
council
should
also
rescind
the
policy
that
makes
city
agencies,
including
golf
courses
and
others
exempt
from
mandatory
water
conservation
measures.
O
H
I
Yes,
thank
you.
Yes,
my
name
is
michael
and
I
live
in
herrmann,
so
I'm
not
one
of
your
constituents,
but
I'm
here
to
speak
to
you
about
saving
the
great
salt
lake
and
I
think
the
leadership
that
the
salt
lake
city
council
could
take
on
that.
So
it's
obvious
to
see
that
the
great
cell
lake
is
at
its
lowest
water
levels,
but
many
people
wonder
what
effect
that
has
on
them
individually
and
their
community
as
the
grayson
lake
dries
up.
I
The
pesticides
industry,
chemicals
and
toxic
arsenic
that
have
been
collected
in
the
bed
of
the
great
salt
lake
for
decades
will
enter
into
our
air
and
put
millions
of
utahns
at
risk
for
serious
health
problems.
We're
true
looking
at
this
has
already
been
mentioned.
A
dust
bowl
scenario,
as
the
great
salt
lake
institute
has
stated
when
I
think
about
the
horrible
scenario
that
can
very
much
become
our
reality.
I'm
reminded
of
this
past
summer
with
the
terrible
air
quality
in
utah
and
specifically
in
salt
lake
city,
due
to
wildfires.
I
I
H
J
Good
evening,
ladies
and
gentlemen
of
the
city
council,
thank
you
so
much
for
allowing
me
to
speak
to
you
tonight.
I
have
one
question.
I
wish
to
ask
you:
what,
if
you
had
the
winning
lottery
ticket
in
your
back
pocket-
and
you
didn't
even
know
it,
would
you
want
to
know
that
you
had
the
winning
lottery
ticket
in
your
pocket?
J
When
we
heard
presentations
on
bear
river
development,
the
utah
legislature
is
eager
to
advance
this
massive
new
water
diversion
which
will
lower
the
great
salt
lake
two
to
four
feet
in
elevation,
creating
an
air
quality
disaster
that
will
befall
the
constituents
of
salt
lake
city,
arguably
more
than
anywhere
else
along
the
wasatch
front.
And
yet
the
city
has
a
massive
quantity
of
water
that
could
make
this
proposed
water
development
go
away.
H
P
Hello,
council,
members
and
fellow
citizens,
my
name
is
chandler
rosenberg
with
save
our
great
salt
lake.
We
spent
the
morning
at
the
legislature
to
protest
the
absence
of
any
opportunity
for
public
comment
about
an
unnecessary
reservoir
that
would
lower
the
great
salt
lake
by
another
8
to
15
inches.
As
expected,
we
were
not
allowed
to
speak
because
the
committee
was
short
on
time.
The
meeting
ended
early
after
the
meeting.
A
legislator
stopped
to
tell
us
that
we
were
wasting
our
time
and
that
conserving
water
actually
prevents
water
from
flowing
to
the
to
the
lake.
P
While
he
did
hear
us
out
for
much
longer
than
expected,
we
reached
an
impasse
when
he
told
us
that
he
doesn't
believe
in
climate
change.
I
knew
that
we
were
working
with
climate
deniers,
but
it
was
a
punch
in
the
gut
to
hear
it
so
explicitly.
Coming
from
someone
that's
making
decisions
about
our
future
on
the
verge
of
tears,
I
turned
around
to
take
a
deep
breath
and
collect
myself.
P
P
It's
pretty
insane
to
see
how
little
our
decision
makers
know
about
some
of
the
decisions
we
trust
them
to
make
and
how
susceptible
they
are
to
money-backed
interests,
pushing
an
anti-conservation
agenda.
It's
clear
that
leadership
on
this
issue
is
not
coming
from
the
state
house
any
time
soon.
My
question
for
the
council
tonight
is:
do
you
believe
in
climate
change?
Because
if
you
do
and
if
salt
lake
city
is
the
climate
leader
that
it
claims
to
be,
then
we
need
you
to
step
up
and
lead
us.
P
We,
your
constituents,
deserve
leadership
to
protect
our
city's
namesake
and
we
deserve
leadership
to
protect
our
future.
We
would
love
the
opportunity
to
work
with
you
on
this
and
hope
you're
open
to
further
discussion,
especially
those
of
you
whose
constituents
are
closer
to
the
lake
and
will
be
disproportionately
harmed
by
the
air
quality
catastrophe.
That's
headed
our
way
if
we
fail
to
act
now
to
protect
the
lake.
Thank
you.
H
K
Hey
everyone,
I'm
denise
cartwright,
I
own
a
local
skincare
company
called
crude
and
I'm
also
the
founder
of
a
coalition
called
save
our
great
salt
lake,
I'm
here
with
many
others
tonight
who
have
joined
this
meeting
to
draw
awareness
to
great
salt
lake.
As
you
know,
great
salt
lake
is
drying
up
quickly.
It's
currently
at
a
historic
low.
Dr
bonnie
baxter
of
great
salt
lake
institute
recently
warned
that
we
are
likely
to
turn
a
dangerous
corner
toward
ecosystem
collapse.
K
I
want
to
urge
salt
lake
city
and
the
city
council
to
prioritize
protecting
its
namesake
and
opposing
bear
river
development
project,
it's
time
for
salt
lake
city
to
take
the
lead
on
fighting
for
our
lake
and
for
real
sub
substantive
conservation
efforts.
It's
also
time
to
share
salt
lake
city's
vast
unused
water
supply
that
just
sits
in
canals
along
the
valley.
This
alone
could
prevent
unnecessary
and
expensive
water
projects
like
bear
river
development,
which
will
cost
utah
taxpayers
billions
of
unnecessary
dollars.
H
C
C
This
past
year,
we've
experienced
serious
drought,
dust
storms,
poor
air
quality
as
a
new
resident
to
salt
lake
city.
I'm
concerned
about
our
future,
I'm
concerned
about
future
generations
and
potentially
children
that
I
might
have
growing
up
in
this
city
and
if,
if
these
issues
are
not
adequately
addressed,
the
potential
of
me
leaving
this
city,
I'm
concerned
about
our
air
quality
and
how
the
drought
and
lower
levels
of
the
salt
lake,
great
salt
lake
will
impact
our
air
quality.
C
C
H
K
Great
good
evening,
and
thank
you
so
much
for
taking
the
time
to
listen
to
us.
I
just
have
a
question:
how
have
you
guys
got
so
excited
to
see
the
snow
piling
up
in
the
mountains?
I
know
that
I
did.
It
means
that
the
ski
season
is
just
around
the
corner,
I'm
a
former
executive
in
the
ski
industry
and
we
would
always
market
utah
as
the
greatest
on
earth
having
grown
up
in
denver.
K
I
would
constantly
have
to
argue
with
my
friends
back
home
about
why
our
snow
was
so
much
better
than
colorado
and,
as
you
may
or
may
not
know,
the
lake
effect
plays
into
our
incredible
snow,
but
the
great
salt
lake
is
at
a
historic,
low
and
shrinking
fast.
Our
ski
season
could
be
shrinking
too.
This
would
have
a
huge
impact
on
our
city's
economy.
K
K
You
have
the
opportunity
to
act
now
and
save
save
the
namesake
of
our
city
and
the
billions
of
dollars
the
ski
industry
drops
into
our
economy.
I
ask
that
you
make
this
the
top
emergency,
that
it
is
and
work
to
get
water
into
the
great
salt
lake.
Thank
you
so
much
for
doing
what
it
takes
to
save
our
great
salt
lake
and
keep
the
greatest
snow
on
earth
here
in
utah.
H
Next
we
have
marianne
karen,
followed
by
jess
overson
and
then
valerie
garrison.
Marianne,
your
mic
is
unnuded,
go
ahead.
Q
Q
So
until
this
year
I
really
didn't
pay
a
whole
lot
of
attention
to
the
great
salt
lake,
and
it
was
only
during
the
pandemic
that
I
took
up
birding
and
bird
photography
and
I
started
spending
a
lot
of
my
free
time
at
the
great
salt
lake
with
my
camera,
and
I
really
started
to
understand
how
remarkable
and
unique
the
lake
is.
It
is
truly
a
natural
wonder
on
par
with
any
of
our
national
monuments
and
yet
it's
totally
underappreciated
by
the
general
public
and
it
is
extremely
underprotected,
given
the
significance
of
its
ecology.
Q
So
I
share
everyone
else's
concerns
about
the
air
quality
in
the
utah
economy.
But
for
me
the
the
real
sticking
point
is
the
birds.
The
great
salt
lake
is
the
number
one
most
important
stop
for:
10
million
migrating
birds,
that's
30
percent
of
birds
in
the
american
west.
They
require
it
to
survive
and
there
is
no
other
great
salt
lake
there's
nowhere
else
for
them
to
go.
The
lake
has
been
declining
for
20
years
and
it's
not
declining
anymore.
It's
in
free
fall.
Q
So
I
came
to
speak
to
you
because
I
don't
know
what
else
to
do.
I
want
to
somehow
support
immediate
and
decisive
action
to
get
water
to
the
lake.
I
want
to
support
long-term
water
policy
changes
that
will
secure
water
rights
for
the
lake
in
the
future,
and
I
want
to
oppose
any
projects
that
divert
more
water
from
the
lake,
but
I
don't
know
how
to
do
this.
I
hope
the
city
will
do
everything
in
its
power
to
help
secure
a
future
for
the
lake
and
the
birds.
Thank
you.
H
And
next
we
have
jess
overson,
followed
by
valerie
garrison
and
then
nan
seymour
jess.
Your
mic
is
unmuted,
go
ahead.
R
Hi,
thank
you
so
much.
My
name
is
jess
obasan,
I'm
a
salt
lake
city
resident
in
district
five-
and
I
am
here
talking
about
the
great
salt
lake
and
I
admonish
our
city
council
to
stand
together
and
oppose
the
bear
river
development.
R
This
is
a
three
billion
dollar
development
that
will
only
hurt
the
great
salt
lake,
the
ecology
of
the
area.
We
have
such
a
dry,
fragile
ecosystem
here
utah
is
actually
the
second
driest
state
in
the
whole
country,
with
only
one
percent
of
the
entire
state
being
made
up
of
wetlands,
95
of
which
is
in
direct
proximity
to
the
great
salt
lake
and
those
wetlands
are
so
important.
R
They
filter
our
water,
they
hold
water
for
long-term
storage
and
they
create
habitat
for
animals
and
wildlife
to
raise
their
young,
including
over
50
percent
of
our
continent.
Shorebirds
that
migrate
through
the
area
I
mean-
and
those
are
just
the
things
that
ecologically
we
need
to
protect
by
standing
against
the
bear
river
development
in
anything
that
would
damage
the
great
salt
lake.
This
is
a
terminal
water
source.
I
mean
there
is
nowhere
for
this
to
get
where
for
things
to
funnel
out.
If
we
don't
protect
this
place,
the
water
has
nowhere
to
go.
R
We
need
to
keep
water
flowing
into
the
great
salt
lake.
We
could
damage
our
brine
shrimp
industry,
we
could
damage
our
ski
industry
and
it
just
this,
isn't
my
first
battle
with
the
great
salt
lake.
I
stood
against
the
promontory
point
landfill
in
2017
and
2018,
and
one
of
the
hardest
things
for
me
to
deal
with
is
before
we
even
went
to
public
comment,
learning
that
the
state
of
utah
had
given
16
million
dollars
to
put
a
class
5
landfill
on
the
shores
of
the
great
salt
lake.
H
F
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
speak,
so
I'm
valerie
garrison,
I'm
a
new
resident
to
salt
lake
last
year,
my
husband
and
I,
who
both
work
in
tech,
were
able
to
work
remotely
and
decided
to
find
a
new
place
to
live.
We
spent
the
last
year
driving
around
the
country
looking
at
different
cities
and
deciding
where
to
live
and
decided
that
salt
lake
city
was
the
best
city
in
the
country,
so
props
to
y'all,
and
we
just
bought
a
house
in
district
six,
so
dan.
F
I
guess
I
hope
to
see
you
around
and
I
immediately
wanted
to
get
involved
because
I
want
to
be
a
you
know,
helpful
citizen
here,
and
the
first
thing
I
found
out
was
how
terrible
the
air
quality
could
be
and
how
the
impact
of
the
great
salt
lake
had
a
huge
impact
on
that.
F
I
think
the
save
our
great
salt
lake
group,
many
of
whom
are
represented
here,
is
making
some
really
valid
points
that
can
be
very
quickly
acted
upon
by
this
council,
and
I
would
hope
that
you
know
you
would
want
more
people
like
me
to
move
here.
I
guess
love
us
or
hate
us
we're
buying
houses,
we're
I'm
taking
a
pottery
class.
F
I
spend
a
lot
of
money
at
the
local
coffee
shop
and
I
really
think
that
the
beauty
of
the
city
can
be
preserved
if
you
take
good
care
to
preserve
the
land
around
it.
You
know
we
came
here
because
of
the
mountains
because
of
this
being
because
of
the
national
parks,
and
if
we
aren't
able
to
do
that
because
the
air
quality
is
so
bad.
F
H
Q
I'm
nan
from
salvik
city
pronoun
she
and
her
I've
lived
in
in
this
lake
bed
for
47
years.
I'm
haunted
by
a
conversation
that
is
likely
to
happen
soon.
A
child
will
ask
what
was
it
like
when
there
was
a
great
salt
lake
will
we
say
there
were
once
great
herons
with
two
distinctive
shades
of
blue.
Will
we
tell
them
how
there
were
thousands
of
tiny
swallows?
Will
we
describe
to
them?
How
seagulls
cried
and
what
ibises
look
like,
or
will
we
fall
silent
because
we
knew
the
stakes
and
failed
to
act?
Q
What
is
at
stake
everything:
every
brine,
shrimp
and
bison
in
this
bio
region,
every
stromatolite,
each
one,
a
platform
for
all
other
life,
including
human
life,
all
the
snow
melt,
every
snowflake,
every
job
dependent
on
snow.
We
stand
to
lose
it
all
our
ability
to
live
here
and,
along
with
that,
the
value
of
our
homes.
Our
ability
to
breathe,
is
at
stake.
Q
The
water
line
between
us
and
an
endless
storm
of
toxic
dust
is
at
stake:
the
welfare
of
all
the
life
in
this
entire
great
basin,
every
person,
every
beloved
pet,
every
pollinator
all
at
stake
as
citizens
of
the
city.
We're
imploring
you
to
do
everything
in
your
power.
Take
the
lead,
adopt
a
resolution
demanding
a
legislative
effort
to
preserve
water
levels.
Q
Salt
lake
has
an
unused
reserve
of
water,
give
it
back
to
the
lake
immediately.
Can
you
imagine
a
more
elegant
or
just
response?
Give
the
water
back
to
the
lake
she'll
know
exactly
what
to
do
with
it.
Our
home
will
be
a
lake
bed
or
a
death
bed,
and
we
can
still
decide,
but
it's
almost
too
late.
The
window
is
closing.
We
won't
be
able
to
go
back.
Please
don't
let
her
die
on
your
watch
instead
of
asking
what
was
it
like
before?
Let
future
children
say
tell
us
again
how
you
saved
the
lake?
Q
H
And
next
we
have
sergio
sergio
toledo,
followed
by
alex
veyu.
I
see
duan
bush
is
not
in
the
meeting,
and
so
next
we
have
lisa
walker
sergio
toledo.
Your
mic
is
unmuted,
go
ahead.
L
Hello,
my
name
is
sergio.
I
live
in
salt
lake
city,
I
moved
to
salt
lake
city
from
the
midwest,
so
I
could
pursue
my
career
and
make
a
living
in
utah
and
I'm
actually
coming.
You
today
concerned
about
air
quality
salt
lake
city
and
how
it
actually
relates
to
the
unr
unr
regulated
drainage
of
the
great
salt
lake.
L
So,
as
we
all
know,
salt
lake
city
made
the
charts
this
past
summer
as
having
the
worst
air
quality
in
the
world,
and
studies
have
shown
air
quality
in
salt
lake
city
reduces
life
expectancy.
This
is
like
multiple
studies
on
this.
I'm
speaking,
you
I'm
speaking
you
today
to
tell
you
that
air
quality
is
going
to
get
worse.
L
So
if
water
used
from
the
great
salt
lake's
many
tributaries
isn't
decreased
or
returned
to
the
lake
by
30
percent,
the
lake
will
dry
up
and
that
will
have
immediate
effects
on
our
economy
on
our
way
of
life,
our
financial
well-being
and
the
city's
air
quality.
How
can
you
expect
salt
lake
city
to
grow
and
prosper?
How
can
you
expect
more
kansans,
more
californians,
more
jobs
and
families
to
move
into
a
city
that
let
its
namesake
dry
up
and
is
choked
by
toxic
dust?
L
I'm
here
today
to
tell
you,
if
you're
sitting
there
thinking
that
this
is
a
environmental
hippie,
dippy
issue
that
doesn't
concern.
You
you're
wrong,
I'm
here
today
to
tell
you
that
if
you
think
this
is
an
issue,
you
can't
act
on
or
change.
You
are
wrong.
I'm
here
today
to
tell
you.
There
is
a
city
of
constituents
who
want
to
fight
for
this
issue
who
want
to
fight
for
their
futures
and
they're
willing
to
help
you
or
replace
you.
L
H
And
next
we
have
alex
veyu,
followed
by
lisa
walker
and
then
katie
papas
alex
your
mic
is
unmuted.
Go
ahead.
I
I
A
drying
great
saw
lake
is
disastrous
for
the
salt
lake
valley
and
our
already
dangerous
air
quality.
We
need
to
start
treating
this
like
the
air
quality
emergency,
that
it
is
soil
samples
of
dust
hot
spots
in
the
great
salt
lake
dry
lake
bed,
collected
by
researchers
with
the
university
of
utah
in
2017,
contain
arsenic,
lithium,
copper,
vanadium
and
antimony
levels
above
the
epa
regional
screening
level,
residential
limits.
This
toxic
sediment
originates
from
decades
worth
of
agricultural
pesticides
and
industry.
Chemical
runoff
dust
bone.
I
Wind
events
can
kick
all
this
toxic
lake
material
into
the
air,
exacerbating
our
already
poor
air
quality
and
putting
our
population
at
further
risk
for
adverse
health
effects.
This
risk
is
not
merely
theoretical.
On
april
14
2015
sustained
40
mile
per
hour.
Winds
pushed
particulate
material
levels
to
five
times
that
of
a
red
air
pollution
day
into
what
the
epa
called
hazard
hazardous
levels.
I
I
It's
not
too
late
to
save
the
great
salt
lake
and
avoid
catastrophic
air
quality
and
resulting
public
health
crisis
inherent
in
the
dry
lake
bed,
and
I
urge
salt
lake
city
council
to
take
action
on
this
potential
threat
and
put
forth
a
signed
resolution
to
address
this
issue.
Thanks
for
your
time,
and
I
look
forward
to
seeing
what
you
folks
end
up
coming
up
with.
H
K
Yes,
hello,
I
am,
I
am
lisa
walker
and
I'm
speaking
today
to
express
my
concern
for
the
great
salt
lake
as
it
is
its
lowest
level.
Since
we've
been
measuring
it.
We
cannot
afford
to
have
any
more
water
that
would
be
going
to
the
great
salt
lake
diverted.
We
must
focus
on
conservations
and
more
efficient
use
of
our
water
here
in
our
state.
We
must
follow
the
example
of
other
areas.
K
My
sister
who
lives
in
las
vegas
is
a
great
example
of
a
city
where,
in
the
last
two
decades,
their
population
has
exploded,
but
their
water
use
has
gone
down.
This
is
not
by
accident.
It
was
by
proper
planning
and
community
involvement
diverting
water
from
tributaries
that
feed
the
great
salt
lake
is
not
the
answer
to
our
water
problems
in
this
growing
state.
We
must
all
also
learn
from
the
history
of
other
lakes
and
how
they
were
depleted
by
cities.
Piping,
their
water
away,
owens
lake
in
california
is
a
perfect
example.
K
The
lake
dried
up,
because
these
careless
practices
and
as
a
result,
the
dry
lake
bed,
became
a
toxic
dust
bowl
toxic
dust
from
the
lake
was
reported
as
far
away
as
arizona.
Many
reports
say.
The
same
could
happen
to
our
great
salt
lake.
If
we
let
it
dry
up,
our
air
quality
is
already
some
of
the
worst
in
the
world.
We
need
to
be
taking
steps
to
make
it
better,
not
worse.
The
bear
river
development
project
is
not
the
answer
to
our
water
problems.
K
It
will
only
make
the
problems
we
are
dealing
with
in
our
state.
Worse,
we
are
known
for
the
greatest
snow
on
earth.
I
ask
you:
what
will
happen
to
the
steep
ski
industry?
If
we
don't
have
the
lake
effect
snow
and
we
have
a
toxic
dust
bowl
billowing
up
from
a
dry
lake
bed
instead,
listening
to
the
podcast
radio
west
in
august,
about
how
olins
lake
dried
up
and-
and
the
same
could
happen
to
the
great
salt
lake
was
very
eye-opening
and
frightening.
K
H
And
next
we
have
katie
papas,
followed
by
spencer
marchand.
I
see
we
have
gregory
wilson
and
then
nigel
swaby
katie,
your
mic
is
unmuted.
You
can
go
ahead.
S
S
S
S
S
Lastly,
asking
taxpayers
to
pay
more
to
put
even
more
toxins
in
our
already
compromised.
Airshed
is
unacceptable.
Presumably
this
increased
spraying
is
directly
related
to
the
new
prism
and
the
inland
port.
What
is
their
role
in
addressing
this
issue,
as
we
heard
today,
healthy
ecosystems
provide
natural
mosquito
control
and
also
countless
other
benefits.
S
S
H
J
J
That's
going
through
a
lot
right
now
and
I
mostly
wanted
to
call
in
and
just
simply
say
thank
you
to
the
council
for
recognizing
the
need
to
amend
the
budget
this
past
summer
to
help
us
to
redo
the
tennis
courts,
because
there
are
hundreds
of
people
who
have
donated
many
many
hours
without
pay
and
tens
hundreds,
thousands
and
tens
of
thousands
of
dollars
to
donate
a
tennis
bubble
replacement
with
our
current
one.
J
That's
worn
out
and
leaking,
and
we
just
have
a
great
staff
and
thousands
of
users
and
hundreds
of
donors
towards
this
project
and
for
the
council
to
recognize
the
the
need
to
to
pitch
in
really
meant
a
lot
to
us
and
our
our
board
and
and
all
the
the
wonderful
tennis
patrons
that
we
have.
So.
J
I
simply
just
wanted
to
say
thank
you
for
listening
to
us
over
the
summer,
and
I
hope
that
they
kind
of
made
your
night
to
hear
from
a
tennis
patron,
because
there's
a
lot
of
happy
people
over
there
that
in
a
complicated
and
stressful
world
right
now
that
it's
their
outlet
where
they
have
friends
and
fun
and
good
competition
and
recreation
and
we're
just
trying
our
best
to
do
a
good
job
there.
And
I
want
to
thank
everybody
from
this-
the
mayor's
staff
and
the
council
and
the
parks
department,
everybody
else
for
recognizing
it.
J
So
thank
you
for
for
stepping
up
and
helping
thank
you.
H
Thank
you
and
apologies.
If
I
mispronounce
your
name
next,
we
have
gregory
wilson,
followed
by
nigel
swaby
and
then
april
zerbel
gregory,
your
mic
is
now
unneeded.
You
can
go
ahead.
C
Hi,
my
name
is
greg
wilson.
Thank
you
to
the
council
for
taking
my
comment
tonight.
There
have
already
been
so
many
great
comments
concerning
the
decline
of
the
great
salt
lake
and
the
negative
consequences
of
that
and
it's
impossible
to
touch
on
and
discuss
any
of
these
in
a
thorough
or
meaningful
way
tonight.
H
And
next
we
have
nigel
swaby,
followed
by
april
xervel
and
then
nate
housley
nigel.
You
are
now
unmuted
go
ahead.
M
Thank
you
and
again
good
evening,
council.
While
I
agree
with
much
of
what
has
been
said
about
the
great
salt
lake,
I
would
like
to
point
your
attention
to
another
crisis,
and
that
is
the
homelessness
situation
that
we're
facing
here
in
salt
lake
winter
is
coming
and
we
don't
have
a
plan
for
an
overflow
shelter.
I
think
it's
time
that
we
look
at
a
sanctioned
camping
policy,
and
specifically,
I
want
to
look
at
the
rda
owned
property
at
600,
west
and
300
south
it's
about
a
third
of
a
block.
M
It
would
require
resources
for
fencing.
I
would
require
the
ambassador
program
and
and
their
folks
to
come
by
and
it
would
require
some
security.
I
I
think
the
housing
voucher
program
is
going
to
fail
this
year
with
the
hotels
and
we
need
to
do
something
about
it.
I
want
to
move
on
there's
a
couple
of
other
things
I
want
to
discuss.
First
of
all,
you've
got
another
agenda
item
18
for
a
rezoned
for
65
beds
for
temporary
shelter.
M
I
support
that
and
I
urge
you
to
as
well
I'd
like
to
talk
to
a
couple
different
communities
tonight
as
well.
First
off
the
startup
community,
I
would
love
for
you
guys
to
look
at
some
automated
lockers.
I
know
I've
seen
stuff
from
you
before,
and
I
would
like
to
see
that
again
so
that
we
can
place
those
at
the
wigan
center
and
the
intermodal
hub
for
homeless
folks
to
be
able
to
store
with
security
and
safety,
their
belongings
and,
finally,
I'd
like
to
turn
to
the
faith
community
in
salt
lake,
which
is
large.
M
H
Q
Hello,
I
hope
I
am
being
heard.
I
am
april,
I
am
a
proud
salt,
lake
city
library,
staff,
member
and
I'm
also
an
artist
and
I'm
getting
back
into
writing.
Q
Q
Q
Q
H
H
Thank
you.
Next
we
have
a
nate
housley,
followed
by
alice
mchugh
and
then
lindsay
hutchinson
nate.
You
are
now
unneeded
go
ahead.
C
Yes
hi,
my
name
is
my
name:
is
nate
housley,
I'm
a
salt
lake
city
resident
in
district
five,
and
I
am
calling
in
to
ask
the
city
council
for
leadership
on
the
issue
of
great
salt
lake.
We
really
are,
as,
as
you
know,
numerous
other
callers
have
pointed
out.
We
are
very
close
to
doing
irreversible
damage
to
the
lake.
C
C
So
the
city
council,
I
believe,
has
a
real
opportunity
here
to
to
exhibit
leadership
to
to
lead
on
this
topic
and
to
find
out
what
what
water
management
resources
there
are,
what
what
solutions
are
available
and
to
bring
those
to
the
table
and
to
fight
for
those,
because
this
is
something
that
impacts
everybody
in
the
city
and
with
that
I'd
just
like
to
say
thank
you
to
the
council
and
have
a
good
night.
H
S
S
H
Thank
you,
and
next
we
have
lindsay
hutchinson,
followed
by
brown,
so
bright,

You
are
now
unmuted
go
ahead.
Hi.
R
Everyone
thank
you
for
having
me
tonight.
My
name
is
lindsey
hutchison.
I
live
in
salt
lake
city
and
I
am
a
water
policy
associate
with
utah
rivers
council.
As
many
people
have
mentioned,
the
great
salt
lake,
our
city's
namesake
is
rapidly
declining
and
it's
under
attack
from
bear
river
development.
The
bear
river
provides
60
of
the
great
salt
lake
surface
water
inflow.
The
division
of
water
resources
states
that
the
bear
river
has
reduced
from
1.3
million
acre
feet
into
the
great
salt
lake
to
850
000
acre
feet
due
to
the
ongoing
drought.
R
Yet
the
division
is
also
actively
pursuing
the
bear
river
development
through
purchasing
right-of-ways.
The
great
salt
lake
brings
in
1.32
billion
dollars
every
year
from
recreation,
minerals
and
brine
shrimp,
among
other
industries
that
rely
on
the
great
salt
lake
as
the
great
salt
lake
declines.
The
air
quality
in
salt
lake
city
and
surrounding
cities
gets
worse,
as
many
people
have
mentioned.
Asthma
gets
worse
since
moving
here.
My
asthma
has
gotten
worse.
Salt
lake
city
will
not
receive
any
of
the
benefits
from
bear
river
development.
R
Only
the
negatives
bear
over
development
would
hurt
our
air
quality,
our
economy
and
our
namesake,
and
it's
time
that
the
salt
lake
city
council
takes
a
stand
against
this
project
and
actively
opposes
it
both
at
the
legislature
and
by
doing
a
resolution
through
city
council.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
H
L
I
believe
that
we're
experiencing
a
multi-decatal
climate
crisis
that
our
regional
environment
is
now
at
a
critical
point
that
demands
a
proportion
that
responds.
We
are
in
desperate
need
for
regional
leadership
on
water
conservation,
and
I
am
imploring
the
mayor
and
city
council
to
step
up
and
be
those
leaders.
I
will
not
mince
my
words.
I
do
not
think
the
city
is
doing
enough
and
it
is
certainly
not
acting
like
the
drought
we
are
experiencing
is
a
regional
ecological
crisis.
L
I'm
concerned
that
my
representatives
are
still
tout
that
they
regularly
use
golf
courses
a
water-intensive
land
use
that
is
wholly
incompatible
with
our
regional
ecology
and
requires
the
use
of
precious
water
resources
that
are
largely
not
returned
to
the
lake.
It's
time
for
salt
lake
city
to
increase
our
official
drought
declaration
stage.
I'm
concerned
that
the
metrics
used
only
put
us
at
a
level
two
drought
when
the
situation
we
are
facing
is
far
dire.
L
If
the
current
methodology
used
to
establish
these
drought
stages
are
not
delivering
a
proportionate
response,
then
we
must
work
to
establish
new
rules
and
procedures
that
will
guarantee
that
our
city
and
its
vast
municipal
enterprises
are
delivering
our
regional
share
of
water
to
the
lake.
The
state
legislature
will
not
act
in
time
for
this
issue.
It
is
time
for
leaders
of
our
community,
especially
those
who
have
been
elected
on
platforms,
saying
they
will
address
the
climate
crisis,
to
step
up
and
do
the
work
to
craft
regional
solutions
with
other
governments,
community-based
organizations
and
private
industry.
H
G
Thank
you
very
much
good
evening.
Council
members,
I
imagine
you're
all
as
frustrated
with
the
utah
inland
port,
as
I
and
many
others
are
frustrated,
is
too
weak
a
word
faced
as
we
are
with
the
state's
arrogation
of
the
city's
control
over
almost
a
fifth
of
this
area,
but
the
port
is
progressing
and
we
in
the
city
have
precious
little
say
in
the
matter.
G
Over
time,
we've
repeatedly
heard
about
the
many
risks
the
port
poses
to
air
quality,
to
the
livability
of
the
surrounding
communities,
to
wildlife,
to
traffic
congestion
and
to
the
economic
future
of
our
area.
As
an
urban
planner,
I've
been
involved
in
efforts
to
substantiate
and
quantify
these
risks.
G
I
and
others
engaged
in
this
effort
have
been
frustrated
that
word
again
timed
again
by
an
utter
lack
of
data
data
that
should
be
provided
by
the
port
authority.
This
is
emerged
as
a
theme
that
connects
all
of
the
risks
posed
by
the
port.
Without
data
there
is
no
basis
on
which
to
objectively
assess
those
risks.
G
G
G
H
D
Night
like
tonight,
where
your
general
comments
are
so
lengthy,
I'm
tempted
to
just
say
I
sent
you
an
email
which
I
did,
but
I
really
need
to
start
this
conversation
and
begin
it
tonight.
It's
not
unusual
that
I'm
talking
about
housing.
I've
been
commenting
relentlessly
on
our
precarious
circumstances
for
two
years
now.
Typically,
I
offer
one
minute
and
about
59
seconds
of
polished
thoughts
on
the
subject,
but
tonight
is
different.
I'm
providing
an
unfinished
draft
of
the
worst
land
use
decisions
that
the
city
has
made
regarding
housing
in
the
past
60
years.
D
The
list
is
not
finished,
but
I
feel
compelled
to
speak
now,
because
the
city
is
barreling
along
continuing
to
make
bad
decisions
when
we
cannot
afford
to
do
so
before
I
start
with
the
nominations
for
the
worst
land
use
decisions
affecting
housing.
I
want
to
be
clear.
I
have
known
many
almost
all
of
the
decision
makers
overwhelmingly.
D
D
What's
now
missing
from
our
housing,
the
worst
land
use
decisions,
the
city
have
made
with
respect
to
housing
and
again
they're
in
your
email,
demolishing
the
housing
and
proper
growth,
glendale
euclid
and
jackson
neighborhoods
for
the
I-15
corridor
right
next
to
the
core
of
the
city,
so
that
we
could
escape
quickly
when
the
russians
invaded
number
two
allowing
office
users
in
the
r7
and
r6
high
density
residential
zones
number
three
allowing
the
expansion
of
smith
food
king
at
the
ninth
and
ninth
business
community.
I
am
hearing
a
lot
of
agreement
with
that
nomination.
D
The
construction
of
shopko
in
sugar
house
number
five:
the
reuse
of
the
curtis
school
site
for
commercial
expansion;
number
six
rezoning,
the
high-density
residential
areas
on
400
south
to
commercial.
That's
now,
smix
marketplace
shortly
before
the
construction
of
tracks
number
seven
allowing
off-site
parking
lots
to
support
non-residential
uses
and
residential
zones.
H
Thank
you.
That
was
two
minutes
cindy.
Next
we
have
mckenna
taylor,
followed
by
aaron
moore
and
then
george
chapman
mckenna.
You
are
now
unmuted
go
ahead.
K
Yes,
thank
you
to
the
council
tonight
for
taking
my
comments.
My
name
is
mckenna
taylor.
I
live
in
the
brickyard
area
and
I've
worked
for
a
tech
company
in
park
city
for
over
11
years.
Now
I've
really
enjoyed
hearing
everyone's
fabulous
comments
tonight.
K
While
I
would
love
to
take
my
allotted
time
to
echo
their
concerns
around
the
state
of
the
declining
wildlife
around
the
great
salt
lake
concerns
about
the
forethought
of
future
proofing,
our
region's
water
management,
and
to
oppose
the
bear
river
development
project
tonight,
I'd
actually
like
to
touch
on
the
economic
impact
in
the
business
sector,
because
I'm
most
familiar
with
that
in
the
relation
to
the
great
salt
lake
and
the
state
of
our
water
management.
Many
of
you
are
familiar
with
the
excitement
of
our
recent
tech
growth
in
the
mountain
west.
K
Some
of
you
might
be
familiar
with
the
nickname
silicone
slopes.
I've
recently
been
a
part
of
many
conversations
internally
with
my
company
about
how
to
retain
talent
and
attract
new
talent
from
other
regions.
K
So
there
was
an
earlier
comment
made
around
the
lake
effect
and
how
the
water
crisis
will
not
only
affect
our
tourism,
but
our
outdoor
industry,
but
also
it's
greatly
going
to
affect
this
idea
of
silicon
slopes
and
our
growth
in
that
tech
specter,
which
I
think
everyone
is
really
wanting
to
expand
and
be
a
leader
in,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
highlight
that
if
we
lose
what
makes
the
region
special
and
that
greatest
snow
on
earth,
if
it's
not
here,
there
will
be
an
exodus
of
people,
businesses,
seasonal
tourism,
very
reminiscent
to
the
concept
of
like
brain
drain
that
you
hear
about
other
countries
in
decline.
K
Our
region
would
be
in
decline
without
the
great
salt
lake
and
the
the
snow
and
the
seasonal
impact
that
it
would
have
for
us.
So
this
is
an
ongoing
conversation
throughout
my
company
currently
and
the
outdoor
industry
as
a
whole.
Just
yesterday,
I
was
in
a
leadership
meeting
that
we're
generally
genuinely
worried
about
how
we
can
continue
to
oops.
Thank
you.
H
E
Okay:
okay,
thank
you,
anna
and
darren
for
ensuring
transparency
on
the
wigan
center
temporary
overflow
shelter
discussion,
but
it
should
have
had
a
public
hearing.
Any
temporary
or
permanent
shelter
should
allow
vigorous
public
engagement
and
nigel
is
right.
We
do
need
a
safe
parking
and
camping
area
with
sanitation
facilities.
I
don't
think
churches
can
fill
that
need
on
another
issue.
The
300
north
bike
bridge
elevator
is
a
big
security
nightmare,
a
crime
magnet.
I
hope
you
have
prime
magnet
cameras
available
because
it
is
bad
on
another.
Continuing
discussion.
Housing
needs
a
big
discussion
on.
E
Affordable
is
not
a
solution
when
any
income
want
detached
homes
as
our
solution,
because
offering
a
bathroom
or
kitchen
especially
to
poor
people,
of
course,
homeless.
Families
with
kids
preferred
only
crime,
magnet,
motels
or
shelters,
or
even
they
should
be
in
detached
homes.
So
please
have
that
discussion
and
finally,
this
city
council
in
public
utilities
has
implemented
one
of
the
most
sustainable
decreases
in
water
use
in
the
state.
E
George
chapman
more.
The
city
should
redo
the
parking
strip,
ordinance,
stop
planting
trees
and
park
strips
and
medians,
and
give
public
utilities
money
to
buy
up
all
of
the
canal
companies,
but
in
general,
don't
get
a
big
head,
but
you,
the
council,
these
and
the
city
have
done
an
exceptional
job.
Decreasing
water
use
this
year
show
off.
H
T
T
I
have
been
talking
to
the
city
about
this
for
a
year
and
a
half
to
incredibly
deaf
ears
and
those
deaf
ears
go
from
the
mayor,
mendenhall
to
city
transportation,
to
the
city
council,
100
south
is
getting
reconstructed
with
bond
money.
It
is
not
does
not
have
a
bike
lane
on
it,
despite
the
fact
that
the
complete
streets
ordinance
requires
that
and
the
complete
streets
ordinance
supersedes
any
master
plans
like
the
bike.
Ped
master
plan
there's
room
for
it.
T
If
you
do
a
road
diet
which
the
federal
highway
administration
recommends-
and
there
is
absolutely
no
reason,
except
for
poor
planning
that
this
shouldn't
have
happened,
but
the
biggest
problem
with
this
is
there
is
no
check
and
balance
for
when
the
city
itself
breaks
the
law.
The
council
is
doing
absolutely
nothing
to
give
a
check
to
the
administration.
T
There
doesn't
seem
to
be
any
way
for
citizens
to
participate,
to
ask
the
city
to
follow
the
law
and
to
do
anything
that
has
any
meaning
or
consequence
when
the
city
breaks
the
law.
If
your
staff-
or
somebody
would
like
to
talk
to
me
further,
I
can
go
point
by
point
as
to
exactly
how
and
why
they
violated
the
complete
streets
ordinance.
And
lastly,
this
is
incredibly
important
for
air
quality
and
climate
change,
despite
the
fact
that
it's
only
a
five
block
section,
it
sets
incredibly
awful
precedent
for
the
future.
B
Thank
you
to
everyone
who
called
in
or
logged
on
and
commented
today,
and
thank
you
to
our
council
staff,
who
helped
make
sure
everybody
got
their
comments
heard.
We
appreciate
it.
Council,
members,
this
and
public.
This
brings
us
to
item
e
of
our
agenda
or
part
e
of
our
agenda.
B
C
C
C
C
O
B
B
H
B
That's
even
in
the
script
the
agenda,
reminding
me
to
say
that,
and
I
skipped
it
so.
Yes,
if
you
could
recuse
yourself,
council,
member
ferris
based
on
your
employment
and
we
will
text
you
when
we're
back
so
council
members.
I
would
still
look
for
a
motion
regarding
the
temporary
zoning
regulation
at
approximately
235
south
rio
grande.
C
C
B
C
N
I'm
jeremy
have
a
moment
of
privilege
before
I
cast
my
vote.
Yes,
thank
you.
I,
in
response
to
some
of
the
comments
about
a
public
public
notice
about
this.
It's
because
it's
a
it's
a
temporary
land
use
regulation
that
I
believe
it
doesn't
require
because
of
the
because
of
the
emergency
that
the
city
is
facing.
I
think
it
doesn't
necessarily
require
public
hearing,
but
I
was
excited
to
see
or
to
have
that
discussion
earlier
that
the
work
session.
N
I
also
wanted
to
mention
to
my
constituents
and
and
and
other
residents
of
salt
lake
city,
that
that
feel
overwhelmed
with
the
amount
of
similar
type
of
services
that
we
offer
that
I
hear
you
I
I
know
what
you're
saying
and
there
there
is
something
that
we
all
need
to
consider
as
the
humane
part
of
all
of
these
issues
that
municipalities
are
unequipped
to
deal
with
with
with
this,
which
is
mental,
health
issues,
homelessness
and
drug
abuse,
etc.
N
So
solicitors
trying
trying
their
best
we're,
also
looking
at
the
conditional
uses
and
see
what
has
worked
in
the
city
and
what
hasn't
and
whatever
happens
tonight.
I
want
my
council
members
to
know
and
the
administration
that
I
I
want
all
of
the
things
that
we
offer
and
we
I
wish
we
could
offer
more,
and
I
think
we
can
do
that.
I
think
we
can
continue
helping
those
who
are
suffering
and
that
are
vulnerable,
but
I
also
want
a
city
of
order.
N
F
K
H
B
We
can
get
council
member
ferris
back,
and
this
brings
us.
Thank
you,
council,
member
ferris.
This
brings
us
to
unfinished
items.
Item
f1
is
regarding
a
grant
holding
account
items
associated
with
budget
amendment
number
three
for
fiscal
year
2021-2022.
J
B
I
have
a
motion
by
council.
Member
wharton
is
second
by
council
member
dugan.
I
can't
remember
who
said
it
first,
so
I
will
roll
call
this
councilman
for
dugan,
yes,
councilmember
ferris,.
F
M
F
B
We
are
now
on
to
the
consent
portion
of
our
agenda
before
asking
for
a
moment
of
emotion,
I
would
want
to
point
out
that
we
would
be
removing
item
number
two
from
the
consent
agenda,
since
we
did
not
do
our
interview
with
nathan
manuel
but
we'll
be
rescheduling
that
for
a
future
date.
J
O
E
E
B
Council,
member
baltimoreos,
yes,
and
I
am
a
yes
and
that
passes
unanimously
with
that
everyone
we
have
come
to
the
end
of
our
council
meeting.
I
appreciate
all
of
the
comments
today,
everybody
being
here
at
my
city,
council
staff
and
my
co-counsel
members.
Thank
you
all,
oh
and
madam
mayor,
thank
you
all
for
being
here
have
a
great
night.
