As
always,
we
start
with
the
administration's
update
and,
as
always
thank
you
very
much
mayor
mendenhall
for
joining
us
today.
With
the
mayor,
I
think
we
probably
have
rachel
on
the
screen
somewhere
lisa
schaefer
somewhere
out
there
and
andrew
johnson,
the
director
of
homeless
policy
and
outreach
out
there
so
mayor.
The
time
is
yours.
C
So
the
accurate,
the
accuracy
of
the
numbers
is
not
something
we
can
rely
on
and
that's
something
that
we
have
relied
on
for
the
nearly
two
years.
We've
been
going
through
this
pandemic
so
far,
so
it's
a
big
shift
for
us
as
policy
makers
and
as
residents.
I
think,
to
no
longer
rely
on
what
the
coveted
case
numbers
are.
C
So
the
county's
message
today
that
dr
dunn
tweeted
out,
backs
mask
and
stay
home
as
much
as
possible
if
you're
sick,
thank
you
for
holding
your
council
meeting
remotely
last
week
and
this
week
and
please
n95,
masks
kn95
masks
if
possible,
and
you
can
visit
this
is
our
shot.com
for
more
information
on
how
to
get
masks
and
where
to
get
your
booster,
where
to
get
your
shots
next
slide.
Please.
C
Just
as
of
today,
you
can
go
to
this
covidtests.gov.
I
did
it
myself
earlier
today,
and
each
household
can
request
four
free
kova
tests
that
usps
will
deliver
to
your
home
in
the
mail.
So
please
share
this.
Address,
get
your
tests
ordered
and
let's
let
this
information
get
out
to
all
of
our
residents
here
in
salt
lake
city
next
slide,
please
so
because
of
the
insufficient
testing
and
the
inaccuracy
of
the
positive
case,
numbers
that
are
coming
out.
C
This
is
before
they're
at
a
point
of
hospitalization.
In
many
cases
it's
earlier
on,
and
also
looking.
Secondly,
at
the
hospitalization
numbers
in
the
county.
We
are
doubling
our
hospitalization
every
14
days,
and
this
is
a
very
dangerous
and
unsustainable
track
for
this
hospital
system.
We're
have
we
have
more
than
43
salt
lake
county
residents.
C
C
C
And
just
of
course,
the
counties
continuing
as
best
they
can
to
do
the
no
appointment
necessary
free
vaccination
and
booster
clinics
even
on
the
weekends
at
the
redwood
clinic
and
at
the
county
complex
on
21st,
south
and
state.
This
is
our
shot.orger.com
is
the
great
the
best
place
to
find
out
all
of
those
vaccination
options.
Of
course,
next
slide.
C
D
D
The
resolution,
as
it
was
introduced
this
morning
only
specified
salt
lake
county's
mask
requirement,
but
was
just
recently
subbed
for
a
resolution
that
actually
would
terminate
salt
lake
county's
order
summit,
county's
order
and
mayor
mendenhall's
executive
order
requiring
masks
in
k-12
salt
lake
city
public
schools.
So
we
do
expect
that
to
get
through
both
houses.
Today,
hbr
182
adjusts
the
local
powers
of
a
city
mayor
and
specifically
says
that
no
city
mayor
can
issue
any
order
related
to
public
health.
It
also
takes
the
step
of
exempting
state
facilities
from
any
kind
of
local
health
order.
D
Sb
113,
which
I
probably
am
not
as
not
a
not
an
expert
on
at
all,
but
this
is
a
todd
wyler
bill
that
essentially
puts
any
implementation
of
tests
to
stay
into
the
hands
of
the
governor.
The
senate
president,
the
speaker
of
the
house
and
the
state
superintendent
instead
of
the
school
and
the
local
education
agency,
so
we're
still
kind
of
processing
that
bill.
But
just
so
you
know
that
that
that
specifically
deals
with
tests
to
stay.
D
A
E
I
won't
we're
going
to
stick
to
the
numbers
on
this
slide.
This
is
the
weekly
overall
occupancy
and
hrc
occupancy
numbers.
Last
week,
on
the
total
column,
there
we
were
at
about
97
occupancy
across
all
three
of
those
resource.
Centers
it's
gone
up,
obviously
to
98.
It
would
probably
be
higher,
except
for
the
king.
E
Women's
resource
center
had
to
stop
intakes
for
a
few
days
due
to
a
large
number
of
positive
coveted
tests,
that's
impacting
all
of
them,
but
they're,
particularly
the
clients
and
staff,
and
so
that's
why
those
numbers
are
probably
a
little
lower
than
they
might
otherwise
be
you'll,
see
the
same
instapoly
overflow,
consistently
running
at
70
or
above
individuals
and
58
beds,
that's
because
of
flow
through
those
beds
every
night.
So
a
high
demand
there
and
we'll
talk
more
about
the
other
ones
in
a
second
next
slide.
E
Next
debate,
next
resource-
fair
excuse
me-
is
this
friday
and
probably
in
the
ballpark
neighborhood
they're
still
finalizing
details
there
trying
to
follow
where
the
needs
seem
to
be
evident
now
week
to
week
and
then
probably
minimal
abatements
based
on
lack
of
staffing.
At
this
point,
a
combination
of
factors,
but
we
have
seen
the
service
providers
particularly
be
hit
pretty
hard
with
positive
cova
tests,
and
a
lot
of
folks
are
out
in
some
empty
positions.
So
all
those
kind
of
work
together
towards
limited
work
this
week
next
slide.
E
We
talked
about
this
last
time.
The
annual
point
time
count
is
next
week,
thurs
wednesday,
thursday
friday.
I
believe
27-29
and
they're
still
looking
for
volunteers
they're
trying
to
get
500
this
year,
which
is
higher
than
normal,
more
volunteers,
the
easier
it
is
to
count
folks
in
more
efficient
ways
and
for
information.
E
Please
go
to
and
utahhomelessness.org
the
point
in
time
count
and
it's
a
very
easy
process
to
sign
up
and
get
information,
and
you
don't
need
any
experience,
just
a
willingness
to
get
up
early
for
one
day
or
three
days,
depending
on
your
interest
level.
So
we
can
get
more
information
to
the
council.
I
think
we
sent
some
last
week
as
well
and
keep
updating
you
there
next
slide.
E
In
the
morning,
scattered
motel
rooms
are
ongoing
for
a
couple
years
now,
and
those
are
referral
only
from
the
resource
centers,
but
there
are
about
90
beds,
scattered
throughout
different
locations
right
now,
mostly
for
women
who
move
from
the
resource
center
into
those,
and
then
the
high
knees
temporary
housing
program.
Formerly
the
ramada
inn.
A
number
of
council
members
visited
last
week
and
the
actual
motel
rooms
are
being
used
for
refer
only
clients
from
both
unsheltered
camping
situations
and
the
resource.
E
Centers
and
they're,
focusing
on
folks
who
are
over
65
or
who
have
met
medically
kind
of
are
medically
vulnerable
underlying
conditions,
and
they
started
taking
intakes
today
on
a
referral
basis.
Only
and
folks
can
stay
in
those
rooms
24
hours
a
day,
seven
days
a
week
until
the
end
of
the
season,
the
overflow
beds,
the
redwood
red
overflow
beds,
they're
being
called
internally
right.
Now
are
the
common
areas
of
the
ramadi
inn
and
those
will
open
in
a
couple
of
weeks,
most
likely.
E
B
E
A
A
E
E
You
should
have
that
as
well
as
pictures
of
the
fencing
that
was
required
and
number
you
saw
that
those
fences
as
well,
so
they
have
fulfilled
those
requirements
and
are
continuing
to
work
on
the
staffing
ratios
and
all
the
other
details
about
operating
that
were
discussed
previously
with
this
council,
so
they
should
be
on
their
way
to
meeting
all
of
those
expectations
from
the
council.
I
believe.
A
F
F
All
right,
so
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
join
with
you
today.
If
any
of
you
participated
in
the
chambers
event
that
last
week,
a
lot
of
this
is
going
to
be
familiar,
but
there
is
some
some
additional
information.
I've
added
here,
I'm
planning
to
take
if
it's
okay,
mr
chair,
somewhere
around
15,
to
20
minutes
to
kind
of
talk
through
the
presentation
and
then
happy
to
respond
to
questions
if
there's
time
available
after
that,
perfect
okay.
F
F
What's
happened
over
the
last
couple
years,
both
to
the
us
and
utah
economies
talk,
maybe
a
little
bit
about
some
budget
impacts
that
you
might
see
with
sales
taxes
and
touch
a
little
bit
on
property
taxes
that
kind
of
work
a
little
bit
differently.
But
as
we
look
back
over
the
last
couple
years,
we've
seen
a
significant
amount
of
economic
disruption.
That's
taken
place.
F
One
thing
to
pay
attention
to
I'm,
I'm
an
economist
by
training,
I'm
going
to
talk
a
lot
about
supply
and
demand,
and
hopefully
for
an
economist
that
doesn't
surprise
you,
but
a
lot
of
the
disruptions
are
on
the
supply
side
and
and
we're
seeing
that
today
I
think
we're
going
to
continue
to
see
it
for
a
while,
still
and
then
the
other
side
on
the
policy
response
at
the
federal
level.
So
there's
been
massive
fiscal
and
monetary
policy
response.
F
Historically,
we've
had
much
more
of
a
monetary
policy
controlling
the
money,
supply
and
interest
rates.
The
federal
reserve
we've
seen
a
massive
fiscal
policy
response
from
the
federal
government
in
this
pandemic
and
that's
primarily
geared
toward
demand.
So
we
kind
of
have
a
little
bit
of
a
mismatch
going
on
and
it's
creating
some
of
the
economic
effects
that
we're
seeing
out
there
and
I'll
touch
some
on
different
trends.
F
I
had
done
a
couple
of
like
online
meetings
before,
but
how
many
of
us
us
do
this
regularly
now,
most
every
day
of
the
week,
also
some
new
trends,
and
maybe
this
is
going
back
to
an
old
trend,
but
our
purchase
patterns
have
changed
and
and
we've
moved
back
toward
goods
where
we're
kind
of
on
this
long-term
trend
for
services
taking
up
more
and
more
of
the
personal
consumption.
So
we
can
go
to
the
next
slide.
F
It's
you
look
at
we're
going
to
talk
about
labor
shortages
and
what's
happening
there
and
and
part
of
that
is
firms
and
governments
probably
are
going
to
have
to
start
increasing
wages.
With
some
of
what
we've
seen
take
place,
there
is
a
significant
amount
of
economic
resorting
that
has
taken
place
and
is
going
to
continue
to
take
place.
F
Some
of
these
are
just
short-term
related
to
the
pandemic.
Some
are
more
long-term.
You
look
at
supply
chains.
Supply
chains
are
shifting,
people
are
realizing
the
their
vulnerabilities
that
are
out
there
and
trying
to
fix
that
by
having
other
alternatives
available.
So
there's
this
big
resorting
taken
taking
place
in
the
in
the
midst
of
that
some
demographic
changes
that
are
taking
place
and
the
last
piece
is
just
that
there
are
those
that
have
been
left
behind.
F
F
And
next
one
after
so,
I'm
gonna
touch
here
just
on
some
of
these
major
economic
indicators
and
if
we
can
go
to
the
next
one,
just
looking
at
population
growth,
that's
a
significant
driver
of
the
utah
economy
between
the
2010
census
and
the
2020
census.
The
utah
led
the
nation
with
the
highest
population
growth
rate
at
18.4.
F
This
is
moderated
somewhat
from
what
we've
seen.
So
it's
not
like
it's
not
the
highest
growth
rate,
necessarily,
but
it's
much
much
stronger
than
the
us
overall
and
as
you'll
see
we
as
part
of
the
intermountain
west,
we're
part
of
this
strong
region.
So
it's
not
just
utah.
That's
seeing
this
strong
growth
next
slide.
F
So
looking
within
utah,
this
growth
is
uneven.
Urbanization
continues
the
wasatch
front
and
southwest
utah
in
particular,
parts
of
rural
utah
lost
jobs.
So
again,
this
is
between
2010
and
2020.
Sorry,
not
jobs,
population
and
significant
economic
disruption.
That
comes
along
with
that
and
next
slide.
F
F
So
that's
going
back
a
long
way
now,
as
you'll
see
part
of
that
is
cyclical.
These
waves
of
that
little
dotted
line
that
you
see
there
are
population
waves
from
the
baby
boom
and
then
the
echo
boom,
so
they're,
kids
and
then
baby
boomers
grandkids.
So
that's
a
piece
of
it,
but
then
the
other
piece.
If
we
can
go
to
the
next
slide.
F
F
So
utah
has
one
of
the
most
diverse
economies
in
the
nation.
This
is
measuring
utah's
gdp
and
how
it
aligns
with
overall
u.s
gdp
and
we're
among
the
top
states
in
terms
of
diversity
in
an
economy
in
our
economy.
That's
very
important
it.
It
helps
in
a
lot
of
ways
it
kind
of
smooths
out
some
of
the
rough
patches.
So
you
look
at
some
of
the
natural
resource
states.
You
look
at
wyoming
or
nevada.
F
You
know
when
things
are
going
really
well
in
energy
production,
they
do
really
well
economically
and
then,
when
they
collapse,
they
see
those
impacts
right
that
takes
place
where
we
have
a
much
broader
base.
And
yes,
we
do
have
an
energy
sector
here,
but
we
also
have
a
bunch
of
other
sectors
and
they
tend
to
give
us
more
economic
resiliency,
because
we
have
this
more
diverse
economy.
F
So
as
we
look
at
the
response
to
the
pandemic
and
what
took
place,
look
at
the
last
three
economic
recessions
that
have
occurred:
the
dot-com
bust
back
in
2001,
there
was
an
acceleration
of
a
portion
of
the
bush
tax
cuts
that
that
was
deemed
the
economic
stimulus
and
that
equaled
about
0.4
percent
of
gdp.
At
that
time,
then
we
look
at
the
great
recession,
the
financial
system
collapse.
F
You
look
at
the
economic
stimulus
act
of
2008
and
then
the
aura
act,
and
those
two
combined
then
made
up
about
seven
percent
of
gdp
at
that
time
and
that
that
was
considered
massive.
That
was
considered
an
enormous
response.
Then
you
look
at
the
pandemic
and
officially
that
recession
was
dated
to
be
two
months
long.
The
the
after
effects
are
continuing,
but
that's
kind
of
when
the
decline
ended
and
the
upward
growth
began
again,
but
kind
of
these
unprecedented.
F
That's
like
one
of
the
most
overused
words
over
the
last
couple
years,
but
unprecedented
federal
fiscal
support.
The
first
wave
came
in
the
march
april
time
time
frame
under
the
trump
administration
there
wave
two
also
toward
the
end
of
the
trump
administration
and
then
wave
three
in
the
biden
administration.
F
F
So
one
of
the
impacts
that
we've
seen
is
lower
household
debt
payments,
significant
portions
of
that
money
were
used
for
savings,
so
savings
went
up
and
and
debt
was
paid
off.
So
at
a
time
where
incomes
in
aggregate
at
least
grew
people
had
like
more,
they
had
more
financial
flexibility,
both
because
paying
down
debt
and
that
growth
in
income.
If
we
can
go
to
the
next
slide,
then
if
we
look
at
personal
saving
during
the
pandemic,
this
is
a
massive
increase.
F
F
This
is
just
showing
jobs
overall
again,
the
the
dramatic
drop
that
we
saw.
Dramatic
then
increase
in
recovery
and
then,
if
we
can
go
to
the
next
slide,
showing
for
utah,
specifically
across
economic
sectors,
very
very
strong
recovery
in
most
sectors-
and
this
is
comparing
pre-pandemics.
This
is
these-
are
estimates
for
2021.
We
won't
have
the
official
data
here
for
a
little
bit
here,
but
estimates
for
all
of
2021
compared
to
all
of
2019
and
the
two
that
still
haven't
recovered
leisure
and
hospitality
and
mining,
and
these
are
sorted
by
growth
rate.
F
But
then
it
also
shows
you
the
the
number
of
jobs
again.
This
is
on
average
for
2021.
Overall,
if
we
can
go
to
the
next
slide,
then
utah
and
idaho,
by
far
lead
the
pack
coming
out
of
the
economic
recovery
or
out
of
the
economic
downturn
with
recovery
there.
So
it
shows
the
five
strongest
states
if
you,
this
is
again
looking
at
annual
data.
F
If
we
can
go
to
the
next
slide
here
within
utah,
we've
seen
improvement
in
this
data.
If
you
look
at
the
monthly
data,
but
again
much
of
rural
utah
significant
having
significantly
higher
unemployment
rates
than
the
rest
of
the
state
where
we
look
at
the
wasat
front,
southwest
utah,
very
strong,
very
low
unemployment
rates
next
slide.
F
So
we
hear
this
term
the
great
resignation
I
think,
there's
a
lot
going
on
there,
some
of
it's
short
term,
some
of
it's
long
term.
I
think
some
of
it's
pandemic
like
directly
pandemic
related
other
portions,
are
not
directly
pandemic
related,
but
this
shows
the
quit
rates
so
how
many
people
voluntarily
voluntarily
leave
their
jobs?
They're
not
laid
off?
F
We
are
seeing
this
again
at
that
among
the
younger
population
who
tend
to
work
those
entry
level,
jobs
that
tend
to
have
lower
wages,
that
we
are
seeing,
year-over-year
wage
increases
and
that's
where
we're
seeing
some
of
the
strongest
growth
take
place
where
we're
still
seeing
increases
again.
Among
these
other
age
cohorts-
and
I
just
realized
the
colors-
aren't
aligned
with
the
other
one.
But
but
here
the
red
represents
that
young
population,
not
the
old,
older
population
above
55..
F
So
this
graph
shows
this
really
long-term
time
series
back
to
the
1940s,
showing
the
changing
composition
of
the
u.s
economy,
and
so
you
look
at
services
in
the
gray
have
been
taking
up
an
increasing
share
of
the
economy
and
it's
you
know
we're
a
lot
more
efficient
at
producing
goods.
There's
also
some
aspect
of
global
globalization
driving
down
prices
of
goods.
Things
like
that,
so
the
the
red
shows
non-durable
goods,
the
share
of
u.s
personal
consumption
expenditures
made
up
of
non-durable
goods.
F
This
is
like
food,
gasoline
clothing,
things
that
don't
last
very
long
and
then
in
the
blue,
the
durable
goods.
So
I
think
cars,
furniture
kind
of
these
big
ticket
items
that
we
spend
money
on
so
again,
we've
had
this
long-term
structural
trend,
even
though
that
maybe
only
looks
like
a
little
bit.
It's
actually.
You
know
that
that
blip
up
there
since
2020
is
actually.
These
are
very
sizable
amounts
in
in
some
of
the
non-durable
goods.
You
know,
subcategories
seeing
20
and
30
percent
40
50
increases
compared
to
to
pre-pandemic
levels.
F
There
are
two
things
going
on
there,
so
one
is
the
remote
sellers
that
we
had
been
collecting
a
portion
of
that,
but
a
much
larger
share
of
remote
sales
are
now
being
collected,
but
the
other
piece
is
just
this
shift
two
goods
that
are
generally
taxed
where
services
are
not
taxed
to
the
same
extent
and
then
the
other
piece
is
price
increases
in
the
price
of
a
lot
of
those
goods
with
inflation.
So
just
one
thing
here,
though,
I
definitely
urge
caution.
F
F
So,
as
I
mentioned
before,
the
sting
of
accelerating
inflation
that
that
we're
experiencing
we're
we're
hearing
about
it,
there
used
to
not
be
many
of
us
in
the
state
that
talked
very
much
about
inflation.
It
was
kind
of
one
of
these
boring
things
that
economists,
like
me,
talk
about,
and
now
it's
you
know
just
kind
of
kitchen
table
discussions,
people
you
know
our
meat
now
costs
20
more
than
it
did
gasoline
cost
a
lot
more
than
it
did
housing
that
we'll
talk
about
in
a
second
costing
a
lot
more.
F
So
this
graph
here
just
showing
the
cpi
the
consumer
price
index.
This
is
what
you'll
typically
see
the
blue,
showing
the
producer
price
index,
which
is,
as
you
think,
about
consumption.
We
have
services
and
goods
the
producer
price
index.
A
lot
of
volatility
that
you
see
is
more
focused
on
goods.
So
that's
part
of
why
you
see
difference
and
there's
a
lot
of
amplification
that
you'll
see
right.
F
The
producer
price
index
goes
a
lot
higher
and
a
lot
lower,
but
if
you
kind
of
average
some
of
that
out,
you
kind
of
see
the
trends
and
were
the
producer
price
index
toward
the
end
of
2020.
Was
the
growth
rates
not
seen
since
the
1970s,
so
very,
very
high
increases
there
and
just
a
lot
of
disruption
going
on
right
now
in
terms
of
supply,
which
is
driving
up
prices
so
next
slide.
F
F
Oh,
so
maybe
there's
like
a
week
delay
there,
which
leads
to
a
weak
delay
here,
but
the
way
it
really
works.
Is
you
get
these
bottlenecks
so
a
week
delay
there
or
two
week
delay
there
might
be
two
or
three
or
six
or
ten
months
in
delay.
As
all
the
pieces
don't
come
together,
the
way
that
they
typically
come
to
together
in
supply
chain.
F
So
we
can
go
to
the
next
slide.
Then
people's
short-term
expectations
about
inflation
are
changing.
This
is
actually
the
biggest
concern
to
me.
Long-Term
expectations
are
still
closer
to
historical
norms,
but
this
is
where
inflation
can
spiral.
Out
of
control,
you
have
a
wage
price
spiral
where
people
demand
higher
wages,
firms,
pay
the
higher
wages
and
then
pass
it
on
to
consumers
and
higher
prices,
we're
starting
to
see
things
outside
normal
levels,
again,
probably
within
normal
levels.
F
If
you
look
for
the
survey
looking
out
three
years
or
five
years
instead
of
one
year,
but
it's
this
is
what
I'm
paying
attention
to
at
least
as
much
as
the
monthly
indicator
that
comes
out
about
what
the
cpi
inflation
is.
If
we
can
go
to
next
slide
so
part
of
why
people
are
their
expectations
are
changing
is
like
what
they're
seeing
day
to
day
in
their
everyday
lives.
So
you
look
at
car
prices
that
they've
received
a
lot
of
coverage,
very
significant
increase.
F
F
This
impacts
your
property
taxes
in
different
ways
for
new
home
construction,
that
you'll
pick
up
some
new
property
tax
revenue.
For
for
that,
with
truth
and
taxation,
you
have
a
broader
tax
base,
but
the
rate
at
least
initially
will
float
down
to
the
certified
tax
rate,
but
I
think
this
this
year
in
assessments
that
I
saw-
and
I
didn't
look
at
salt
lake
city
specifically-
but
I
don't
think
home
values-
are
fully
reflected
in
current
assessed
values,
but
that
should
be
happening
over
this
coming
year
as
those
property
values.
F
F
So
interest
rates
have
dropped
very
significantly,
they've
ticked
up
a
little
bit
over
the
last
couple
weeks,
but
you
look
from
any
historical
standpoint,
this
time
series
going
back
to
the
1970s
so
for
50
years,
very
low
mortgage
interest
rates.
I
think
these
will
increase
the
federal
reserve
is
going
to.
They
have
been
involved
in
these
markets
directly
where
they
used
to
just
deal
with
short-term
rates,
and
it's,
I
think,
you'll
see
continued
rate
increases.
F
F
So
I
have
my
assets
worth
more
and
my
payment
went
down
during
the
recession
compared
to
someone
who's
trying
to
get
into
a
home
there.
They
don't
have
that
upside
that
the
people
that
owned
assets
prior
to
the
pandemic
have
experienced,
and
if
we
can
go
to
the
then
to
the
next
slide,
and
if
you
look
at
rents,
it's
that
much
more
now.
F
I
think
this
is
rents
on
new,
like
new
leases,
so
it,
I
think,
doesn't
fully
capture
like
it's
going
to
overstate
if
you
have
a
leasing
that
carries
over
but
we're
among
the
highest.
This
is
not
just
salt
lake
city
proper,
but
the
but
the
msa,
so
salt
lake
county,
more
broadly,
very
significant,
increases
in
rents
and
again
so
housing
costs
going
up
for
many
people
go
to
the
next
slide.
F
F
We
have
this
imbalance
in
supply
and
demand.
That's
what's
driving
a
lot
of
what's
going
on.
Certainly
low
interest
rates
are
a
major
contributor
as
well,
and
a
lot
of
this
is
the
overhang
from
the
great
recession
where,
in
the
last
couple
years,
we
actually
have
built
more
housing
units
than
we've
had
increases
in
the
number
of
households
created,
but
there's
still
kind
of
this
backlog
from
the
aftermath
of
the
great
recession
that
still
hasn't
worked
its
way
through
the
system.
F
I
think
it's
a
little
bit
lower
for
utah.
Maybe
three
and
a
half
to
four
percent,
but
here
we're
projecting
much
much
lower.
These
are.
These
are
record
low
levels
of
unemployment
that
we've
ever
had,
and
so
that's
something
to
keep
your
eye
on.
It's
something
that's
going
to
limit
our
economic
growth
is
availability
of
labor,
and
that's
why
I
think
we'll
see
we
will
see
growth
in
jobs.
I
think
it'll
be
less
than
it
could
be.
F
There
are
a
lot
of
openings
out
there
that
the
firms
just
won't
be
able
to
fill
so
we're
projecting
a
2.7
percent
job
growth
rate,
which
is
still
fairly
healthy
around
our
long-term
average
slightly
below,
but
but
pretty
close.
Our
long-term
average
we're
projecting
increases
in
total
wages
and
continued
increases
in
home
values
in
the
coming
year.
Now,
if
we
can
go
to
the
next
slide,
there
are
a
lot
of
risks
to
the
forecast.
I
always
like
to
maybe
have
a
couple
tailwinds
and
a
couple
headwinds.
F
You
know
two
or
three
or
something
but
there's
just
so
much
going
on
right
now,
the
the
pandemic
that
continues
to
be
uncertain.
You
look
at
and
headwinds
so
things
coming
at
us
that
we'll
have
to
deal
with
housing,
affordability,
just
overall
inflation,
not
just
in
housing
but
in
other
goods.
The
labor
force
disruptions
that
we're
seeing
with
great
resignation,
supply
chain
disruptions.
F
I
do
think
the
federal
fiscal
support
will
dwindle.
A
lot
of
those
funds,
especially
from
the
arpa
act,
are
still
available
for
several
years.
So
it's
not
like
a
cliff,
that's
dropping
off,
but
but
funds
will
be
allocated
and
spent
in
the
economy
over
a
couple
years
that
that
will
be
a
level
of
continuing
fiscal
support,
but
it's
certainly
not
going
to
be
like
it
was,
and
then
just
the
impact
of
increasing
interest
rates
that
I
think
are
likely
but
kind
of
how
that
all
plays
out
how
quickly
it
happens.
F
That's
where
I
think,
there's
still
a
lot
of
uncertainty
and
then,
if
we
can
go
to
the
next
slide,
just
a
quote
here
from
president
randall
here
from
the
university
of
utah,
one
of
my
favorite
things.
That's
really
easy.
As
we
talk
about
economics,
it's
like
called
the
dismal
science
right,
but
one
of
the
things
I
enjoy
about
economics.
It's
it's
about
people
and
understanding
how
all
these
things
out.
There
influence
people
and
I
think,
that's
bottom
line
where
we
need
to
have
our
focus.
A
G
Mr
chair,
yes,
go
ahead,
I
I
just
have
some
interesting
questions
and
again
I
listen
to
this
twice
and
I
I'm
thankful
for
this
because
it
helps
me
prosper.
The
information
and
it
is
concerning
to
me
that
the
hospitality
jobs
are
now
coming
back.
People
are
leaving
the
hospitality
jobs
many
of
those
jobs.
F
Yeah
so
one
of
the
best
ways
to
look
at
that
is
transient
room
tax
because
then
you're
looking
at
the
at
the
base.
So
here
we're
looking
at
jobs,
but
maybe
during
the
pandemic,
hotels
figured
out
how
to
be
more
efficient,
so
they're
still
doing
as
much
business
but
have
fewer
jobs.
But
I
think
that's
not
the
case.
When
you
look
at
some
of
the
largest
job
losses.
They
are
along
the
wasatch
front
and
they're
in
kind
of
the.
I
think
there
are
a
couple
pieces
to
that.
F
F
I
think
restaurants
are
are
in
much
better
shape
than
say
a
year
ago,
even
that
that
there
are
more
people
coming
back
downtown
more
than
there
were
before,
but
I
do
think
there's
some
businesses
that
are
reevaluating
their
business
model
about
how
much
do
we
use
teleworking
versus
in
office
and
like
how
all
that
shakes
out.
I
think
that
that
remains
to
be
seen,
but
it's
I
I
can
send
you
the
link
to
it.
A
I
have
one
question
about
the
trends
here
and
the
economic
trends.
How
do
you
see
them
impacting
our
lower
income
communities?
I
see
that
inflation
is
if
six
percent
wage
growth
is
at
six
percent,
so
they're
really
not
going
anywhere.
So
how
do
you
think?
How
is
it
going
to
impact
our
lower
communities.
F
Yeah
and
and
that's
actually
total
wage
growth
that
I
was
showing
there.
So
if
you
look
at
like
average,
wage
growth
is
less
than
that,
because
that
would
include
population
growth
in
that
number,
so
it
might
be
like
more
three
three
or
four
percent
wage
growth
and
it's
as
you
look
at
inflation
numbers
like
everyone,
experiences
inflation
individually,
based
on
their
own
buying
habits.
F
You
know
the
data
I
presented
here
is
national
data,
but
you
look
at
some
of
the
the
regional
data
you
can
get
and
I
would
argue
we're
seeing
even
higher
impacts
than
this.
You
know
you
look
nationally
and
the
number
that
was
in
for
housing
in
in
the
latest
cpi
was
three
point:
something
percent
we're
seeing
much
much
higher
increases
in
housing
costs
here
in
utah.
They
do
that
based
off
rents,
but
but
we're
seeing
much
higher
increases.
I
I
think
this
was
actually
an
article,
but
I
think
the
like.
F
The
western
region
was
around
eight
percent,
but
we
experience
inflation
individually,
depending
on
what
we
buy
and
where
I
worry
most
is
those
at
the
low
end
of
the
economic
spectrum.
It
is
it's
those
that
don't
have
you
look
at
where
we're
seeing
it
food.
I
think
that
was
up
like
six
percent
on
a
year-over-year
basis,
but
especially
meat
really
high,
like
20
increases,
you
look
at
housing.
Costs
which
are,
in
my
mind,
are
very
clearly
higher
here.
F
The
increases
are
higher
here
than
they
are
nationally,
so
that's
not
captured
in
that
national
data.
You
look
at
gas
prices
which
I
they
had
kind
of
bounced
around
between
maybe
two
and
a
half
and
three
dollars
a
gallon
before
the
the
pandemic
say
the
five
years
before
the
pandemic,
and
then
they
dropped
and
then
increased
a
lot.
So
you
know
a
portion
of
the
dramatic
increase
that
you're
seeing
is
off
a
lower
base,
but
that
being
said,
you
know
we've
been
kind
of
around.
F
I
don't
know
350
to
four
and
now
they're
a
little
bit
lower
than
that,
but
some
of
these
very
basic
things
are
where
we're
seeing
some
of
the
largest
increases,
and
so
that's
that's
where
I
worry
more
like
I.
I
have
the
ability
to
manage
around
the
inflation
that
I
see
and
because
I'm
not
I'm
not
buying
a
new
house
and
I'm
not
renting,
like
my
housing
costs,
aren't
going
up
and
they
went
down
anyway.
F
A
So
the
the
undurable
goods
food
gas
that
is
going
up
at
a
higher
rate
than
probably
their
then
their
wages
are
going
up
so
they're
going
to
be
impacted
more
because
they're
not
buying
the
durable
goods,
but
they
are
buying,
they
need
to
eat
and
they
need
to
get
to
work.
So
those
are
going
to
be
a
big
impact
on
their
on
their
quality
of
life.
F
Yeah
and
the
again
the
the
used
car
thing
is,
I
think,
a
really
interesting
one
that
those
can
be
kind
of
volatile
anyway,
depending
on
on
what's
going
on
out
there,
but
it's
I
I
worry
about
that
and
their
their
ability
to
manage
some
of
these
basic
things.
I
think
there
probably
will
be
wage
increases
eventually,
employers
are
just
gonna,
have
to
bite
the
bullet
and
increase
wages
in
some
of
these
lower
wage
jobs,
but
it's
hard
for
them
right.
F
It's
easy
to
say:
oh
just
go,
and
do
that
and
don't
worry
about
it,
but
they
have
real
world
impacts
from
that
as
well
of
like
how
am
I
going
to
be
able
to
pass
that
on
or
is
if
I
try
to
increase
my
prices
too
much.
Am
I
going
to
go
out
of
business,
so
it's
not
is
is
not
an
easy
thing,
but
I
think
part
of
it
is
this
baby,
boomer
retirement
ripple
effect-
and
I
think
so
I
think
part
of
it
is
just
going
to
be
the
new
economic
reality.
H
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
the
presentation
I,
and
maybe
I
missed
it,
but
I
had
a
question
about
what's
like
the
overview
of
the
income
levels,
either
at
the
city
as
a
whole
or
the
county
as
a
whole,
like
how
many
people
are
in
this
group,
how
many
people
are
at
the
or
percentage
of
people
are
really
at
the
poverty
level
et
cetera.
Do
you
have
that
so
that
we
understand
as
well?
How
is
it
affecting
you
know
certain
groups
and
how
how
many
people
is
it
affecting
this.
F
I
don't
have
that
immediately
available,
but
but
I
there
are
some
links
that
I
could
send
to
your
staff
and
maybe
they
could
distribute
for
some
data
sources
that
may
have
more
detailed
information.
It
would
be.
You
might
eventually
get
some
like
tax
data
at
the
city
level,
but
more
likely
on
income.
It
would
be
at
the
msa
level,
so
it
would
be.
You
know,
essentially,
salt
lake
county
as
a
whole,
not
just
the
city,
but
but
there
may
be
some
like.
H
Okay,
all
right
yeah.
I
would
be
interested
to
have
those
links
but
or
what
some
point
when,
when
we
have
the
information
to
understand
like
the
composition
of
the
county,
at
least
to
understand
how
many
you
know
people
are
left
behind
in
the
in
the
lower
stratosphere,
I
guess
of
incomes.
So
thank
you.
A
One
more
another
question
on
the
global
supply
chain
disruption
and
then
in
our
economy
I
mean
you
would
think
that
the
global
supply
chain
would
start
to
level
out,
even
though
the
lead
times
would
go
up,
but
there
were
some.
The
destruction
would
kind
of
kind
of
level
out
lead
times
going
up,
but
how
does
that
those
lead
times,
and
especially
like
in
the
microchip
industry?
How
does
that
affect
the
utah
economy?
As
far
as
health
care
is
concerned,
cars
use
car
sales
or
and
construction
of
smart
homes?
F
I
don't
know
if
any
of
you,
so
I
think
it
was
in
the
new
york
times.
I
can't
remember,
showing
like
bullfrog
spas
from
here
in
utah,
that
manufactures
spas
and
where
they
get
all
their
pieces
from
throughout
the
world,
and
if
they
don't
have
this
one
single
part,
it
creates
disruption
in
their
entire
production
process
right.
They
can
have
everything
else
working
perfectly
from
30
suppliers
from
around
the
world,
but
if
they
have
a
single
supplier,
the
single
part
that
they
can't
get
it
creates
disruption.
F
And
so
as
I
I
wish,
I
had
a
silver
bullet
like
here's,
how
we
solve
all
this
and
here's
like
here's
what's
going
to
happen,
but
I
think
there's
still
just
a
lot
of
uncertainty
and
I
thought
by
now
we
would
have
more
and
more
certainty
about
what
happens
there,
but
I
think
it's
just
not
there.
Yet.
I
think
there's
you
have
this
whole
re-shoring
effort.
That's
going
on
of
of
getting
again
these
these
not
relying
as
much
on
china
and
looking
for
other
places
for
parts.
F
A
A
A
Thank
you
very
much
have
a
great
evening.
You,

all

and
then
I'm
super
excited
to
welcome
our
new
language
access
coordinator
roxanna
to
our
team.
This
is
her
second
week
back
at
the
city
and
I
have
to
commend
her
because
she
came
back
and
immediately
started
working,
so
she
came
back
and
immediately
started,
coordinating
the
recommendations
from
the
language
access
task
force
that
have
developed
over
the
last
few
months,
and
so
roxanna
is
here
with
me
today,
and
I
would
love
for
her
to
briefly
introduce
herself
right
now.
H
H
H
I've
experienced
first
hand
the
challenges
of
navigating
in
english-only
world,
so
I
look
forward
working
together
for
us
working
together
to
build
our
language
access
policy
and
our
capacity
to
continue
towards
creating
a
more
sustainable,
equitable
and
inclusive
opportunities
for
everyone
here
in
south
lake,
regardless,
regardless
of
their
background
and
language
abilities.
So
thank
you.
I
H
Like
a
like
a
welcome
and
a
thank
you-
and
I
just
wanted
to
extend
the
invitation
and
I'm
gonna
volunteer
three
council
members
here
too,
if
you
know
roxanna
you
ever
want
to,
let
me
go
back
a
lot.
A
lot
of
his
a
lot
of
spanish-speaking
residents
of
salt
lake
city
are
not
accustomed
to
or
very
they
don't
participate,
often
in
the
civic
process.
Basically
they
don't
they
don't
really
watch
this.
H
You
know
these
meetings
or
participate
or
give
opinions,
and
so
now
we
have
four
council
members
that
speak
spanish,
plus
roxanna
working
really
hard
on
the
language.
You
know
breaking
these
language
barriers,
so
I
wanted
to
volunteer
ourselves
if
roxanna
ever
wants
to
have
a
little
town
hall
meeting
to
even
explain
what
a
council
you
know
what
a
city
council
does,
what
the
mayor
does
in
spanish,
open
to
the
public,
I
I'll
be
happy
to
be
there
and
I'm
sure
the
other
council
members
will
too.
So
I
I
that
sounds
like
a
wonderful
idea.
G
A
A
B
Minutes
so
I'm
originally
born
and
raised
in
evanston
wyoming,
just
about
80
miles
from
here,
came
down
to
the
university
of
utah
in
2003
after
high
school
and
other
than
leaving
for
a
few
years
to
attend
law
school.
I've
spent
my
adult
life
here
in
salt
lake
living
in
the
salt
lake
area.
I
live
in
liberty,
wells
area
right
now.
B
B
I
have
an
undergraduate
degree
in
geography
with
an
emphasis
in
geographic
information
science
and
I
currently
work
for
the
department
of
veterans
affairs
as
a
fiduciary
service
representative,
assisting
disabled
and
elderly
veterans.
Finding
people
to
help
manage
their
benefits
and
working
with
city
government
has
always
been
something.
I've
been
interested
in
and
applied
for
a
blank
era.
Blanket
application
to
boards
with
the
city
when
a
bicycle
position
came
open
on
the
bicycle
board
and
just
happened
to
get
a
contacted
for
this
this
board
later
on
and
it
seemed
to
fit
me
perfectly.
A
A
B
A
A
A
B
A
D
A
Is
here
so
we're
going
to
continue
with
our
board
appointment
interviews
for
the
appointment
on
the
community,
development
and
capital
improvement
program,
advisory
board,
and
our
next
appointment
is
with
richard
nazzaro
richard.
I
see
you're
on
the
screen
there
welcome.
Thank
you
for
volunteering
and
thank
you
for
applying
to
be
on
this
board.
A
B
Yeah
I
moved
to
salt
lake
two
years
ago,
just
before
the
pandemic,
I
kind
of
traveled
all
around
the
country.
I
grew
up
in
new
york.
I
was
in
texas
with
the
military
for
a
while,
and
then
california
came
here
and
it
immediately
felt
like
home
and
so
being
involved
in
civics
and
local
politics
is
something
that
I've
always
wanted
to
do
kind
of
give
back
to
the
community
or
help
shape
it
and
give
whatever
unique
insights
I
might
have,
and
so
the
opportunity
came
up
and
just
thrilled
to
be
here.
