Board of Trustees Greater Salt Lake Municipal Services District Opinion We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the aggregate discretely presented component units, and each major fund of Greater Salt Lake Municipal Services District (the District) as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the District’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents. In our opinion, the basic financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the aggregate discretely presented component units, and each major fund of Greater Salt Lake Municipal Services District as of December 31, 2021, and the respective changes in financial position for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Basis for Opinion We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS) and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of Greater Salt Lake Municipal Services District and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audits. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about Greater Salt Lake Municipal Services District’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and

DRAFT

therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.

In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, we:

Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.

Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit

procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of Greater Salt Lake Municipal Services District’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.

Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant

accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.

Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate,

that raise substantial doubt about Greater Salt Lake Municipal Services District’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit. Emphasis of Matter As discussed in Note 4 to the basic financial statements, in 2021, the District restated beginning balances of capital assets and changed the presentation of its component units from blended component units to discretely presented component units. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter. Other Matters Required Supplementary Information Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management’s discussion and analysis, budgetary comparison information, the schedules of the District’s proportionate share of the net pension liability (asset) – Utah Retirement Systems, the schedules of District contributions – Utah Retirement Systems, and the related notes to the required supplementary information be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information

DRAFT

and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the required supplementary information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance. Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated May 31, 2022, on our consideration of the District’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the District’s internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the District’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

Greater Salt Lake Municipal Services District NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2021 As management of the Greater Salt Lake Municipal Services District (the District), we offer readers of the District's financial statements this narrative overview and analysis of financial activities of the District for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. The District is a unique governmental organization created by the Utah State Legislature to provide municipal type services, such as capital improvements, road maintenance, planning and development services, permitting and licensing and administrative services, to metro townships, towns and unincorporated Salt Lake County who are unable to effectively provide these services to their respective communities. The District is funded by sales tax, class B&C road funds, SB 136 sales tax, and service fees that are paid to the respective members of the District to cover the cost of the municipal type services. The legislative body of each member is responsible for their respective administrative budgets. The District then funds the approved budgets of each member. Each Member’s fund balance grows when they underspend their administrative budget. They may use these funds for special purposes. The Board of Trustees of the District decides on the capital projects and large road maintenance projects to be funded each year by the District. FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS Total assets and deferred outflows of resources of the District exceeded liabilities and deferred inflows of resources by $36.5 million. Of this amount, $36.5 million (unrestricted net position) may be used to meet on the government wide ongoing obligations. The General Fund’s total fund balance increased $5.8 million or 26 percent. Revenues

• The District and the members are dependent on Sales Tax, SB 136 Sales Tax and Class B&C road funds. Total revenue from all sources was $33.1 million, an increase of $0.8 million over the prior year.

• For the year, expenses were $26.4 million, an increase of $0.8 million over the prior year.

Sales Tax receipts for 2021 increased by 15.9% over 2020 receipts. Ten of the twelve (12) months outperformed the corresponding months of the prior year. By comparison, FY2020 receipts increased 4.8% over FY 2019 receipts. County Highway & Public Transit – Local Portion receipts increased for 2021 by 17.6% over 2020 receipts. All twelve (12) months outperformed the corresponding months of the prior year. This was the first full year comparison since these revenues began in the second half of 2019. Class B&C Road Funds receipts for 2021 decreased by 2.1% compared to 2020 receipts. By comparison, 2020 receipts decreased by 1.6% compared to 2019 receipts. The 2020 decrease was attributable to the COVID pandemic, while the FY2021 decrease was attributable to the impact of Senate Bill (SB) 150 from the 2020 legislative session. The Class B allocation to the Unincorporated County was expected to be reduced by about 50% starting July 1, 2021 by way of a formula change that reduced population component in the calculation from 14% to 7%. Through June 30 of 2021, the District experienced a 20% increase in Class B&C road fund receipts compared to the first six months of 2020. When comparing 2022 over 2021, the first half of 2021 still included the pre-SB150 14% formula component.

December 31, 2021 While business license fee receipts were fairly stable, building permit fee receipts were up District-wide 65.3% over FY 2020 receipts. By comparison, FY 2020 receipts were up 53.0% over FY2019 receipts. The primary jurisdictions contributing to this FY 2021 increase over FY2020 receipts were Kearns and Magna—but primarily Magna due to extensive new home building in that metro township. The five metro townships each received an additional tranche of CARES funds (CARES2) from Salt Lake County in the spring of 2021. The County indicated that they “used their presumption” and transferred these funds from the County’s funds through an interlocal agreement. This CARES2 tranche, which totaled $3,252,821 among the five metro townships, can be used by each jurisdiction on any legal government purpose. There is now expiration on the use of these funds. About $423,000 of these funds were spent in 2021. The five metro townships and the Town of Brighton received their first tranche of ARPA funds in 2021, totaling $4,245,591 among all six entities. Based on the US Treasury’s Final Rule, it is expected that the revenue loss use category with “standard allowance” selection will allow the jurisdictions to use their ARPA funds on any legal government purpose between now and December 31, 2024. None of these funds were spent in 2021. The following charts depict those revenue sources for the governmental activities discussed above:

DRAFT


December 31, 2021 Expenses The General Fund saw most contracted services come in at or under budget. Public Works (PW) Operations and PW Engineering were significantly under budget for 2021 due to lack of snow removal and other maintenance. PW Engineering has numerous projects in the pipeline, so some of this work was carried over into 2022, and likely into 2023 as well. Also, contracted engineering gets charged to the project in the Capital Projects Fund, therefore PW Engineering in the General Fund can be underspent. The Administration and Planning and Development actuals were within budgets. Each of the metro townships and the Town of Brighton underspent their administrative budgets for the year. The following charts depict those expenditures for the governmental activities discussed above:

BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the basic financial statements of the District. The basic financial statements comprise three components: (1) government-wide financial statements, (2) fund financial statements, and (3) notes to the financial statements. Beginning in 2021, the District changed the presentation of its component units from blended component units to discretely presented component units. The purpose of the change was to clearly reflect the relationship between the members of the District and the government wide financial statements of the District.

9

DRAFT


December 31, 2021 Government-wide financial statements. The government-wide financial statements are designed to provide readers with a broad overview of the District's finances, in a manner similar to a private-sector business. The statement of net position presents information on all of the District's assets, deferred outflows, liabilities, and deferred inflows, with the difference between them reported as net position. Over time, increases or decreases in net position may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the District is improving or deteriorating. The statement of activities presents information showing how the District's net position changed during the fiscal year reported. All changes in net position are reported as soon as the underlying event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Thus revenues and expenses are reported in this statement for some items that will only result in cash flows in future fiscal periods. Both of the government-wide financial statements distinguish functions of the District that are principally supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues (governmental activities) from other functions that are intended to recover all or a significant portion of their costs through user fees and charges (business-type activities). The statement of activities is presented on two pages. The first page reports the extent to which each function or program is self-supporting through fees and intergovernmental aid. The second page identifies the general revenues of the District available to cover any remaining costs of the functions or programs. Fund financial statements. A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. The District also uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. All of the funds of the District are categorized as governmental funds. These funds are used to account for the same functions reported as governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. Governmental fund financial statements focus on near-term inflows and outflows of spendable resources, as well as on balances of spendable resources available at the end of the fiscal year. Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government-wide financial statements, it is useful to compare the information presented for government funds with similar information presented for governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. By doing so, readers may better understand the long-term impact of the government's near-term financing decisions. Both the government fund balance sheet and the government fund statement of the revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances provide reconciliation to facilitate this comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities. The District maintains three major governmental funds, the General Fund, Intergovermental Salt Lake County Fund, and Capital Projects Fund. The District adopts an annual appropriated budget for all its funds. A budgetary comparison schedule has been provided to demonstrate legal compliance with the adopted budget for the general fund. The basic governmental fund financial statements can be found later in this report; see Table of Contents.

In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report also presents certain required supplementary information concerning the District.

GovernmentalActivities

As noted earlier, net position may serve over time as a useful indicator of financial position. Total assets and deferred outflows of resources exceeded total liabilities and deferred inflow of resources at the close of the year $36.5 million, an increase of $6.7 million from the previous year. This change is equivalent to the net income for the year, in private sector terms. Total unrestricted net position at the end of the year is $36.5 million , which represents an increase of $6.7 million from the previous year. Unrestricted net position are those resources available to finance day-to-day operations without constraints established by debt covenants, enabling legislation, or other legal requirements.

For the District as a whole, total revenues increased by $761,732 compared to the previous year, while total expenses increased by $839,528. The total net change of $6,705,899 is, in private sector terms, the net income for the year, which is $77,797 less than the previous year's net change. BALANCES AND TRANSACTIONS OF INDIVIDUAL FUNDS Some of the more significant changes in fund balances, and any restrictions on those amounts, is described below: General Fund The fund balance of $22.1 million reflects an increase of $5.8 million from the previous year. Total revenues of $21.5 million increased by $21.1 million compared to the previous year. This increase is primarily due to an increase in contributions from other governments during the year. Total expenditures of $21.1 million decreased by $3.5 million. This decrease is primarily due to a decrease in interagency contracts during the year.

December 31, 2021 NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

1-A. Reporting entity

The Greater Salt Lake Municipal Services District, Utah (District) was established under the governing code of Utah Code Annotated Title 17B.

The District operates under a Board of Trustees-General Manager form of government and provides the following broad range of services to its customers: roads and streets, financial administration, animal control, planning and development, parks, capital improvements, administrative services operational services, indigent legal and District Attorney prosecution services and planning. The Board of Trustees is comprised of the mayor or a council member of each metro township and a Salt Lake County council member representing the unincorporated Salt Lake County area.

The accompanying financial statements present the District and its component units, entities for which the District is considered to be financially accountable.

The discretely presented component units of the District are as follows:

• Town of Brighton • Copperton Metro Township and Cemetery • Emigration Canyon Metro Township • Pleasant Green Cemetery • Kearns Metro Township • Magna Metro Township • White City Metro Township

Each metro township is a discretely presented component unit because their resources exclusively benefit the members of the District. The District’s budget dictates to a large extent the budget of each metro township. The District appropriates funding to each metro township for administrative expenses. The governing board of each metro township approves their own individual budget. The General Fund is the primary operating fund of the District. This fund is used to provide all services to the Members. The Townships’ individual leaderships (Mayors and Council) are responsible for administering their own administrative budget and passing resolutions and ordinances unique to their entities. Each entity will approve their individual budgets in their township Council meetings and accept the financial statements for their individual townships. Fiscal reporting for budgets, transparency reports, taxes etc. are done on the District level and also on the individual township level. 1-B. Government-wide and fund financial statements

Government-wide Financial Statements

The government-wide financial statements, consisting of the statement of net position and the statement of activities, report information on all the non-fiduciary activities of the primary government and its component units. For the most part, the effect of inter-fund activity has been removed from these statements. Governmental activities, which normally are supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from business-type activities (if any), which rely to a significant extent on fees and charges for support.

24

DRAFT


December 31, 2021 1-B. Government-wide and fund financial statements (continued)

The statement of net position reports the financial position of the governmental activities of the District and its discretely presented component units at year-end. The statement of activities reports the expenses of a given function offset by program revenues directly connected with the functional program. A function is an assembly of similar activities and may include portions of a fund or summarize more than one fund to capture the expenses and program revenues associated with a distinct functional activity. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific function or segment. Indirect expenses are not allocated. All expenses are included in the applicable function. Program revenues include (1) charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use, or directly benefit from goods, services, or privilege provided by a given function or segment and (2) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular function or segment. Taxes and other items not properly included among program revenues are reported instead as general revenues.

Fund Financial Statements

Major individual governmental funds are reported as separate columns in the fund financial statement.

1-C. Measurement focus, basis of accounting and financial statement presentation

The financial statements of the District are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).

The government-wide statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting, generally including the reclassification of internal activity (between or within funds). However, internal eliminations do not include utility services provided to District departments or payments to the general fund by other funds for providing administrative and billing services for such funds. Reimbursements are reported as reductions to expenses. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Property tax revenues are recognized in the year for which they are levied while grants are recognized when the grantor eligibility requirements are met.

Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized as soon as they are both measurable and available. Revenues are considered to be available when they are collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. The District considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal period. Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting. However, debt service expenditures, as well as expenditures related to compensated absences and claims and judgments, are recorded only when payment is due.

25

DRAFT


December 31, 2021 1-C. Measurement focus, basis of accounting and financial statement presentation (continued)

Property taxes, sales taxes, intergovernmental revenues, and interest associated with the current fiscal period are all considered to be susceptible to accrual and so have been recognized as revenues of the current fiscal period. Only the portion of special assessments, if any, receivable within the current fiscal period is considered to be susceptible to accrual as revenue of the current period. All other revenue items are considered to be measurable and available only when cash is received by the government.

Policy regarding use of restricted resources

When faced with a choice, it is the District's policy to use restricted resources first, then committed and assigned amounts before spending unassigned amounts. Restricted assets and liabilities payable from restricted assets current in nature are reported with current assets and current liabilities.

1-D. Fund types and major funds

Governmental funds

The District reports the following major governmental funds:

The General Fund is the government's primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial resources of the general government, except those required to be accounted for in another fund.

The Intergovernmental Salt Lake County Fund is used to account for the revenues and expenditures for services provided to the unincorporated Salt Lake County.

The Capital Projects Fund is used to account for the acquisition or construction of major capital facilities of the District.

1-E. Assets, Liabilities, Deferred Outflows\Inflows of Resources, and Net Position or Equity

1-E-1. Deposits and Investments

Investments are reported at fair value. Deposits are reported at cost, which approximates fair value. Investments of the District are accounts at the Utah Public Treasurers Investments Fund. Additional information is contained in Note 3.

Investments are recorded at fair value. Accordingly, the change in fair value of investments is recognized as an increase or decrease to investment assets and investment income.

1-E-2. Cash and Cash Equivalents

The District's cash and cash equivalents are considered to be cash on hand, demand deposits, and short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of acquisition.

26

DRAFT


December 31, 2021 1-E-3. Receivables and Payables

Property tax and intergovernmental receivables are considered collectible. During the course of operations, there may be transactions that occur between funds that are representative of lending/borrowing arrangements outstanding at year-end. These are reported as either due to or due from other funds. Property taxes are assessed and collected for the District by Salt Lake County for certain properties located in unincorporated Salt Lake County and remitted to the District shortly after collection. Property taxes become a lien on January 1 and are levied on the first Monday in August. Taxes are due and payable on November 1, and are delinquent after November 30. All dates are in the year of levy. 1-E-4. Restricted Cash

The District carries restricted cash related to performance bonds and unspent grant revenues.

1-E-5. Capital Assets

Capital assets includes property, plant, equipment, and infrastructure assets (e.g., roads, bridges, sidewalks, and similar items), and are reported in the applicable governmental or business-type activities columns in the government-wide financial statements. Capital assets are defined by the government as assets with an initial, individual cost of $5,000 or more and an estimated useful life in excess of two years. Such assets are recorded at historical cost or at estimated historical cost if purchased or constructed. Donated capital assets are recorded at estimated fair market value at the date of donation. Infrastructure is depreciated.

The cost of normal maintenance and repairs that does not add to the value of an asset or materially extend the assets' life is not capitalized. Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are constructed.

Upon retirement or disposition of capital assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts. Depreciation of capital assets is computed using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives.

Property, plant, and equipment of the primary government, as well as the component units if any, is depreciated using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:

Assets YearsBuildings and improvements 10-50Improvements other than buildings 20-50Machinery and equipment 5-20Office furniture and equipment 5-15

1-E-6. Performance Bonds The District holds funds in the form of performance bonds that are returned when projects are completed within the specified time period. If the project is not completed, then the funds revert to the District and are used to complete the project that was bonded. The District has segregated these funds in a separate bank account.

27

DRAFT


December 31, 2021 1-E-7. Compensated Absences

It is the District’s policy to permit employees to accumulate earned but unused vacation benefits. The liability for these compensated absences is recorded as a long-term liability in the government-wide statements. In the fund financial statements, governmental funds report only the compensated absence liability payable from expendable available financial resources, while the proprietary funds (if any) report the liability as incurred. 1-E-8. Net Position and Fund Balance

Government-wide Financial Statements

Net position is classified in the government-wide financial statements as net position and is displayed in three components:

Net investment in capital assets - Capital assets including restricted capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation and reduced by the outstanding balances of any bonds, mortgages, notes, or other borrowings that are attributable to the acquisition, construction, or improvement of those assets.

Restricted net position - Net position with constraints placed on the use either by (1) external groups such as creditors, grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations of other governments; or (2) law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.

Unrestricted net position - All other net position that does not meet the definition of "restricted" or "net investment in capital assets."

Fund Financial Statements

In the fund financial statements governmental fund balance is further classified as nonspendable, restricted, committed, assigned or unassigned. Descriptions of each follow:

Nonspendable fund balance - This classification includes amounts that cannot be spent because they are either (a) not in spendable form, or (b) legally or contractually required to be maintained intact. Fund balance amounts related to inventories, prepaid expenditures, and endowments are classified as nonspendable.

Restricted fund balance - This classification includes net fund resources that are subject to external constraints that have been placed on the use of the resources either a) imposed by creditors (such as through a debt covenant), grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations of the government or b) imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.

Committed fund balance - This classification includes amounts that can only be used for specific purposes established by formal action of the District Board, which is the District's highest level of decision-making authority. Fund balance commitments can only be removed or changed by the same type of action (for example resolution) of the District Board. This classification also includes contractual obligations to the extent that existing resources have been specifically committed for use in satisfying those contractual requirements.

Assigned fund balance - This classification includes amounts that the District intends to use for a specific purpose but are neither restricted nor committed. These are established by the District Board. This category includes the remaining positive fund balances for governmental funds other than the general fund.

28

DRAFT


December 31, 2021 1-E-8. Net Position and Fund Balance (continued)

Unassigned fund balance - Residual classification of the General Fund. This classification represents fund balance that has not been assigned to other funds and that has not been restricted, committed, or assigned to specific purposes within the General Fund.

1-E-9. Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources

In addition to assets, the statement of net position will sometimes include a separate section for deferred outflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred outflows of resources, represents a consumption of net position that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense/expenditure) until then. The District reports deferred outflows of resources related to pensions.

In addition to liabilities, the statement of net position will sometimes include a separate section for deferred inflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred inflows of resources, represents an acquisition of net position that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until then. The District reports deferred inflows of resources related to pensions.

1-E-10. Pensions

For purposes of measuring the net pension liability, deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions, and pension expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the Utah Retirement Systems Pension Plan (URS) and additions to/deductions from URS's fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by URS. For this purpose, benefit payments (including refunds of employee contributions) are recognized when due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value.

1-E-11. Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

NOTE 2 - STEWARDSHIP, COMPLIANCE AND ACCOUNTABILITY

2-A. Budgetary data

Budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles. The District maintains legally adopted budgets.

The District Board approves by resolution the total budget appropriation and the individual “township” appropriations. The District Budget Officer is authorized to transfer budget amounts within departments of a fund. Any revisions that alter the total appropriations of any fund must be approved by the District Board. For the District budget, Budgetary control is maintained primarily at the department level.

Each individual township also adopts their individual budget(s). For the Townships, budgetary control is maintained at the discretely presented component unit (township) level.

Unused appropriations for most of the annually budgeted funds lapse at the end of the year. The exceptions are those budgets for long-term capital projects.

December 31, 2021 NOTE 3 - DETAILED NOTES

3-A. Deposits and investments

Cash and investments as of December 31, 2021 consist of the following:

Fair ValueDemand deposits - checking 1,321,815$ State Treasurer's Investment Pool 36,042,332

Total cash $ 37,364,147

Cash and investments listed above are classified in the accompanying government-wide statement of net position as follows:

Cash and cash equivalents (current) 37,269,084$ Restricted cash and cash equivalents (non-current) 95,063 Total cash and cash equivalents 37,364,147$

Cash equivalents and investments are carried at fair value.

The Utah Money Management Act (UMMA) establishes specific requirements regarding deposits of public funds by public treasurers. UMMA requires that District funds be deposited with a qualified depository which includes any depository institution which has been certified by the Utah State Commissioner of Financial Institutions as having met the requirements specified in UMMA Section 51, Chapter 7. UMMA provides the formula for determining the amount of public funds which a qualified depository may hold in order to minimize risk of loss and also defines capital requirements which an Institution must maintain to be eligible to accept public funds. UMMA lists the criteria for investments and specifies the assets which are eligible to be invested in, and for some investments, the amount of time to maturity.

UMMA enables the State Treasurer to operate the Public Treasurer's Investment Pool (PTIF). PTIF is managed by the Utah State Treasurer's investment staff and comes under the regulatory authority of the Utah Money Management Council. This council is comprised of a select group of financial professionals from units of local and state government and financial institutions doing business in the state. PTIF operations and portfolio composition is monitored at least semi-annually by the Utah Money Management Council. PTIF is unrated by any nationally recognized statistical rating organizations.

Deposits in PTIF are not insured or otherwise guaranteed by the State of Utah. Participants share proportionally in any realized gains or losses on investments which are recorded on an amortized cost basis. The balance available for withdrawal is based on the accounting records maintained by PTIF. The fair value of the investment pool is approximately equal to the value of the pool shares. The District maintains monies not immediately needed for expenditure in PTIF accounts.

Fair value of investments The District measures and records its investments using fair value measurement guidelines established by generally accepted accounting principles. These guidelines recognize a three-tiered fair value hierarchy, as follows: Level 1--Quoted prices for identical investments in active markets; Level 2--Observable inputs other than quoted market prices; and, Level 3--Unobservable inputs. At December 31, 2021, the District had $36,042,332 invested in the PTIF, which uses a Level 2 fair value measurement.

DRAFT


December 31, 2021 3-A. Deposits and investments (continued)

Deposit and investment risk The District maintains no investment policy containing any specific provisions intended to limit the District's exposure to interest rate risk, credit risk, and concentration of credit risk other than that imposed by UMMA. The District's compliance with the provisions of UMMA addresses each of these risks. Interest rate risk Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in market interest rates will adversely affect the fair value of an investment. All deposits and investments of the District are available immediately. Credit risk Generally, credit risk is the risk that an issuer of an investment will not fulfill its obligations. Custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that, in the event of the failure of a depository financial institution, a government will not be able to recover its deposits. At December 31, 2021, $1,002,434 of the District's demand deposits of $1,252,434 were uninsured. The book balance at year-end was $1,321,815. Custodial credit risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty (e.g., broker-dealer) to a transaction, a government will not be able to recover the value of its investment or collateral securities that are in the possession of another party. This risk is addressed through the policy of investing excess monies only in PTIF. Concentration of credit risk Concentration of credit risk is the risk of loss attributed to the magnitude of a government's investment in a single issuer. PTIF falls under the constraints of UMMA in limiting concentrations of investments. 3-B. Receivables The allowance policy is described in Note 1-E-3. Receivables as of year-end for the District's funds are shown below:

The transfer out of the general fund of $4,259,000 represents the administrative budget of $459,000 to Salt Lake County for their costs of administration for unincorporated salt lake county and $3,800,000 for capital projects. 3-F. Contribution to/from other governments The District provides municipal type services to its members. These services are funded through sales tax, class B&C road funds, SB 136 sales tax, and service fees that are paid to the respective members of the District. The members remit these funds to the District for use in providing the municipal type services and capital projects.

DRAFT


December 31, 2021 NOTE 4 - OTHER INFORMATION 4-A. Risk management The District is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft of, damage to, and destruction of assets; errors and omissions; injuries to employees; and natural disasters. It is the policy of the District to purchase commercial insurance for these risks. Various policies are purchased through an insurance agency to cover liability, theft, damage, and other losses. A minimal deductible applies to these policies which the District pays in the event of any loss. There have been no significant reductions in the coverage from the prior year. Settled claims have not exceeded this commercial coverage in any of the three preceding years. The District also has purchased a workers’ compensation policy.

4-B. Lease agreement

The District entered into an agreement with Salt Lake County to lease office space. The first term of the lease was for Oct 1, 2019 through Sep 30, 2020, with two one-year extension term options. The last extension term has been agreed to by both parties and thereby extends the lease term through Sep 30, 2022 and is for $14,485.81 per month.

4-C. Litigation

The District is a defendant in certain legal actions, pending actions, or in the process for miscellaneous claims. The ultimate liability which might result from the final resolution of the above matters is not presently determinable. District management is of the opinion the final outcome of the cases will not have an adverse effect on the District’s financial statements.

4-D. Subsequent Events

In preparing these financial statements, the District has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through the date of the audit report, which is the date the financial statements were available to be issued.

During February 2022, the District issued $20,000,000 in revenue bonds for the purpose of financing the cost of construction and maintenance of infrastructure.

4-E. Restatements – Capital assets and change in presentation of component units

The District restated the beginning balances for capital assets. Additionally, beginning in 2021, the District changed the presentation of its component units from blended component units to discretely presented component units. Beginning net position and fund balance has been restated to reflect this changes as follows:

Tier 2 Public Employees Contributory Retirement System (Tier 2 Public Employees System) is a multiple employer cost sharing public employee retirement system;

The Tier 2 Public Employees System became effective July 1, 2011. All eligible employees beginning on or after July 1, 2011, who have no previous service credit with any of the Utah Retirement Systems, are members of the Tier 2 Retirement System.

The Utah Retirement Systems (Systems) are established and governed by the respective sections of Title 49 of the Utah Code Annotated 1953, as amended. The Systems’ defined benefit plans are amended statutorily by the State Legislature. The Utah State Retirement Office Act in Title 49 provides for the administration of the Systems under the direction of the Board, whose members are appointed by the Governor. The Systems are fiduciary funds defined as pension (and other employee benefit) trust funds. URS is a component unit of the State of Utah. Title 49 of the Utah Code grants the authority to establish and amend the benefit terms.

URS issues a publicly available financial report that can be obtained by writing Utah Retirement Systems, 560 E. 200 S, Salt Lake District, Utah 84102 or visiting the website: www.urs.org/general/publications.

Benefits provided: URS provides retirement, disability, and death benefits. Retirement benefits are as follows:

December 31, 2021 4-F. Pension Plans (continued) Contribution Rate Summary: As a condition of participation in the Systems, employers and/or employees are required to contribute certain percentages of salary and wages as authorized by statute and specified by the URS Board. Contributions are actuarially determined as an amount that, when combined with employee contributions (where applicable) is expected to finance the costs of benefits earned by employees during the year, with an additional amount to finance any unfunded actuarial accrued liability. Contribution rates as of December 31, 2021, are as follows:

(Measurement Date): December 31, 2020

The net pension asset and liability was measured as of December 31, 2020, and the total pension liability used to calculate the net pension asset and liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of January 1, 2020 and rolled-forward using generally accepted actuarial procedures. The proportion of the net pension asset and liability is equal to the ratio of the employer's actual contributions to the Systems during the plan year over the total of all employer contributions to the System during the plan year.

December 31, 2021 4-F. Pension Plans (continued)

For the year ended December 31, 2021, the District recognizes pension expense of $391,266.

At December 31, 2021, the District reported deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources relating to pensions from the following sources:

$291,479 reported as deferred outflows of resources related to pensions results from contributions made by us prior to our fiscal year end, but subsequent to the measurement date of December 31, 2020. These contributions will be recognized as a reduction of the net pension liability in the upcoming fiscal year.

Other amounts reported as deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions will be recognized in pension expense as follows:

Actuarial assumptions:

The total pension liability in the December 31, 2020, actuarial valuation was determined using the following actuarial assumptions, applied to all periods included in the measurement:

Inflation 2.50 PercentSalary increases 3.25 - 9.75 percent, average, including inflationInvestment rate of return 6.95 percent, net of pension plan investment

expense, including inflation

Mortality rates were adopted from an actuarial experience study dated January 1, 2020. The retired mortality tables are developed using URS retiree experience and are based upon gender, occupation, and age as appropriate with projected improvement using 80% of the ultimate rates from the MP-2019 improvement assumption using a base year of 2020. The mortality assumption for active members is the PUB-2010 Employees Mortality Table for public employees, teachers, and public safety members, respectively.

DRAFT



The actuarial assumptions used in the January 1, 2020, valuations were based on the results of an actuarial experience study for the five-year period ending December 31, 2019.

The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a building-block method in which best- estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of pension plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class. These ranges are combined to produce the long-term expected rate of return by weighting the expected future real rates of return by the target asset allocation percentage and by adding expected inflation.

The target allocation and best estimates of arithmetic real rates of return for each major asset class are summarized in the following table:

Real Return Long Term expectedTarget Asset Arithmetic portfolio real

Totals 100.00% 4.84%Inflation 2.50%Expected arithmetic nominal return 7.34%

Expected Return Arithmetic Basis

The 6.95% assumed investment rate of return is comprised of an inflation rate of 2.50%, a real return of 4.45% that is net of investment expense.

Discount rate:

The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 6.95 percent. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that employee contributions will be made at the current contribution rate and that contributions from all participating employers will be made at contractually required rates that are actuarially determined and certified by the URS Board. Based on those assumptions, the pension plan's fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current active and inactive employees. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability. The discount rate does not use the Municipal Bond Index Rate. The discount rate remained unchanged at 6.95 percent.

Sensitivity of the proportionate share of the net pension asset and liability to changes in the discount rate:

The following presents the proportionate share of the net pension liability calculated using the discount rate of 6.95 percent, as well as what the proportionate share of the net pension liability would be if it were calculated using a discount rate that is 1-percentage-point lower (5.95 percent) or 1-percentage-point higher (7.95 percent) than the current rate:

Defined Contribution Savings Plan:

The Defined Contribution Savings Plans are administered by the Utah Retirement Systems Board and are generally supplemental plans to the basic retirement benefits of the Retirement Systems, but may also be used as a primary retirement plan. These plans are voluntary tax-advantaged retirement savings programs authorized under sections 401(k), 457(b) and 408 of the Internal Revenue code. Detailed information regarding plan provisions is available in the separately issued URS financial report.

Greater Salt Lake Municipal Services DistrictNotes to Required Supplementary Information

December 31, 2020

Budgetary Comparison Schedules

The Budgetary Comparison Schedules presented in this section of the report is for the District's General Fund and other governmental funds. The schedules are presented in a basis that is consistent with GAAP.

Budgeting and Budgetary Control

The budget for the General Fund is legally required and is prepared and adopted on the modified accrual basis of accounting.

Original budgets represent the revenue estimates and spending authority authorized by the District Council prior to the beginning of the year. Final budgets represent the original budget amounts plus any amendments made to the budget during the year by the Council through formal resolution. Final budgets do not include unexpended balances from the prior year because such balances automatically lapse to unreserved fund balance at the end of each year.

Changes in Assumptions Related to Pensions

There were a number of demographic assumptions (e.g. rates of termination, disability, retirement, as well as an updated mortality and salary increase assumption) updated for use in the January 1, 2020 actuarial valuation. These assumption updates were adopted by the Utah State Retirement Board as a result of an Actuarial Experience Study performed for the Utah Retirement Systems. In aggregate, those assumption changes resulted in a $201 million increase in the Total Pension Liability, which is about 0.50% of the Total Pension Liability as of December 31, 2019 for all systems combined. The Actuarial Experience Study report as of December 31, 2019 provides detailed information regarding those assumption changes, which may be accessed online at newsroom.urs.org under the “Retirement Office” column using the “Reports and Stats” tab.

Board of Trustees Greater Salt Lake Municipal Services District We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the financial statements of the governmental activities, the aggregate discretely presented component units, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of Greater Salt Lake Municipal Services District (the District), as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the District’s basic financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated May 31, 2022. Internal Control over Financial Reporting In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the District’s internal control over financial reporting (internal control) as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the District’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the District’s internal control. A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance. Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified. Compliance and Other Matters As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the District’s financial statements are free from material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the financial statements. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.

Purpose of this Report The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the District’s internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the District’s internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose. Orem, Utah May 31, 2022

Board of Trustees Greater Salt Lake Municipal Services District Report on Compliance Opinion on Compliance We have audited Greater Salt Lake Municipal Services District’s (the District) compliance with the following applicable state compliance requirements described in the State Compliance Audit Guide, issued by the Office of the Utah State Auditor, for the year ended December 31, 2021:

Budgetary Compliance Fund Balance Restricted Taxes and Other Related Restricted Revenue Fraud Risk Assessment Government Fees Tax Levy Revenue Recognition Special and Local Service District Board Members Utah Retirement Systems

In our opinion, Greater Salt Lake Municipal Services District complied, in all material respects, with the state compliance requirements referred to above for the year ended December 31, 2021. Basis for Opinion on Compliance We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America; the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and the State Compliance Audit Guide, issued by the Office of the Utah State Auditor. Our responsibilities under those standards and the State Compliance Audit Guide are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance section of our report. We are required to be independent of the District and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion on compliance. Our audit does not provide a legal determination of the District’s compliance with the compliance requirements referred to above. Responsibilities of Management for Compliance Management is responsible for compliance with the state compliance requirements referred to above. Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether material noncompliance with the compliance requirements referred to above occurred, whether due to fraud or error, and express an opinion on the District’s compliance based on our audit. Reasonable assurance is a high level of

DRAFT

56

assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS, Government Auditing Standards, and the State Compliance Audit Guide will always detect material noncompliance when it exists. The risk of not detecting material noncompliance resulting from fraud is higher than for that resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Noncompliance with the compliance requirements referred to above is considered material, if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, it would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user of the report on compliance about the District’s compliance with the requirements of the State Compliance Audit Guide as a whole In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, Government Auditing Standards, and the State Compliance Audit Guide, we:

Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.

Identify and assess the risks of material noncompliance, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the District’s compliance with the compliance requirements referred to above and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.

Obtain an understanding of the District’s internal control over compliance relevant to the audit in

order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances and to test and report on internal control over compliance in accordance with the State Compliance Audit Guide, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the District’s internal control over compliance. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.

We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and any significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in internal control over compliance that we identified during the audit. Report on Internal Control over Compliance A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control over compliance does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program on a timely basis. A material weakness in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance, such that there is a reasonable possibility that material noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. A significant deficiency in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance with a state compliance requirement that is less severe than a material weakness in internal control over compliance, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance. Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance section above and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control over compliance that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in internal control over compliance. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses, as defined above. However, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in internal control over compliance may exist that were not identified.

Then, those officers can work together with a detective liaison, and hopefully, come up with a resolution.

Citizen Public Input Brandy Davis stated Wasatch Front Waste and Recycling District’s new procedure for the annual area cleanup is not effectively serving the community. There is no notice of the dates to reserve the containers, prior to receiving flyers. Also, it is a first come first serve process, but it should be provided to everyone because everyone pays the same amount on their garbage bill. Additionally, in order to get a bin, one has to sign a liability waiver agreeing to be responsible for any damage that occurs, and to unload the container if it is too full upon the driver’s discretion.

♦♦♦ ♦♦♦ ♦♦♦ ♦♦♦ ♦♦♦ Community Stakeholder Reports Magna in Motion Kari Duckworth stated Magna in Motion met last week and talked about doing a mental health awareness program with Healthy West Valley from May to June, and possibly over the summer. The first event would be mindfulness activities at Fairbourne Park in West Valley, the next one in June at the Hunter Library, and maybe another one in the summer at Centennial Park. Council Member Hull mentioned the Magna Metro Township might be able to help support signage for Magna in Motion. It would like to place four to six signs up to the entrance of the cemetery and put vinyl stickers on the metal signs at the cemetery to advertise and raise awareness. Magna in Motion is also putting together a rock scavenger hunt over a three-week process in June. It is trying to come up with some different ideas to get people out and moving. Council Member Hull asked to get a budget to the Council. Ms. Duckworth stated she would put together a presentation for the Council.

− − − − − − − − − − − − − − 4th of July Kari Duckworth asked the Council to approve a budget for the 4th of July committee, so she knew how much she had to spend. The Greater Salt Lake Municipal Services District is providing funding, but it is taking a long time to receive some of the checks. The committee has been meeting weekly or bi/weekly to try to get things done. There are just under 30 entries this year, and the committee has discussed whether to charge vendors. Then, she talked to someone who could provide the stage, including setting it up and taking it down. That cost is just under $10,000. Council Member Pierce asked if that included the band and music. Ms. Duckworth stated getting everything set up would cost $6,000, and it would be another $4,000 for bands.


3

Council Member Prokopis stated the budget was approved at $45,000. Ms. Duckworth stated she posted it would cost $45,000, but inflation is rising daily. She would try to do it at the $45,000, but she did not know how many breakfast tickets she would need, and the price of groceries has increased. Paul Ashton stated the Mayor has some discretion over the budget and can authorize funds. Ms. Andreason stated the Council could allocate money from the approved budget now, and then do a budget adjustment. Council Member Pierce asked what the Kearns Band transportation cost was. Ms. Duckworth stated she tried to get the Cyprus Band, but the teacher is going to be out of town. So, she reached out to the Kearns Band and offered to pay for transportation if it would come. Adrienne Salazar stated the committee is requesting a budget of between $3,500-$3,800 for the 5k to help get registration set up, purchase metal beds and t-shirts, and provide water stations. The committee is covering most of its costs. In years past, it has been able to give money back to the community from registration costs and sponsorships. This year, runnership has increased, so the committee may be able to reimburse funds again. Registration closes mid-June. Council Member Prokopis stated everyone in Magna looks forward to this event, so he did not have a problem spending the money. He would support a budget up to $50,000. Council Member Pierce asked what the Council could do to spread the word volunteers were needed. Ms. Duckworth asked Council Members to talk to their neighbors and to put posts on social media. She has banners out and will be putting more of those out as well as putting flyers out to the community. Council Member Hull asked if the Magna Precinct’s police cadets could help block the roads along the parade route. Lieutenant Zach Van Emmerik stated he would see what he could do.

− − − − − − − − − − − − − − Magna Chamber of Commerce Wanda (last name unknown) stated last week’s luncheon was well-attended. Congressman Chris Stewart and Representative Clare Collard spoke, and lunch was catered by


4

El Habanero. Yesterday, the Chamber learned that Northrop Grumman was not giving out scholarships to Cyprus High School students this year. However, it donated money for scholarships last year and the money is still sitting in the Granite Educational Foundation. The Chamber is checking with Northrop Grumman to see if it can give that away this year. If it can, it will probably do that at its May luncheon. If it cannot, Emily Wood will be the speaker at the luncheon. Ms. Wood runs a small business and helps other businesses become scalable, so she would talk about that. Then, the County’s Economic Inclusion Community Assistance Program (EICAP) has ended and is morphing into a new program called Center of Opportunity Partnership (CO-OO).

− − − − − − − − − − − − − − Pleasant Green Cemetery Sharon Nicholes stated there have been two adult burials and three cremation burials at the cemetery. The caretakers have sold twelve full adult graves and one cremation grave, marked four times, one of which was for boundaries for a family, and set three headstones. They met with Kent Goble, the sexton prior to the Bertochs, who showed Nunny Nicholes where the pins (survey markers) were. He also said he gave the Bertochs all of the historical records, including card files with all plot owners’ information, plot numbers, etc., as well as all of the deeds. Mr. Nicholes will contact the Bertochs to see if he can get them. So far, they have not had great luck with the Bertochs. Paul Ashton stated as part of the cemetery purchase, the Bertochs were supposed to transfer the documents to the Magna Metro Township. He could follow up with them if the do not cooperate. Ms. Nicholes stated a ground penetrating radar (GPR) demonstration was held on April 1st. It was amazing and proved what was really under the ground. Getting this service done would help with updating the software and getting the cemetery remapped. Apex Locating Services gave her a quote of $8,400 to do the whole cemetery. She asked that it be taken out of cemetery funds. It would take about three to five days to get it all done. On May 21st, a cleanup will be held at the cemetery. In the past, the Cyprus High School football team volunteered to help. Expenses for that day include lunch for the volunteers, a dumpster, and sign markers. Temporary sign markers will be put out on everything that looks like a grave if it is not already marked in the computer as a grave. There are some sign markers, but more are needed. The cemetery software does not have addresses, phone numbers, or even first names sometimes on the plot owners. She asked if the cemetery could piggyback on the Council’s bulletin and put in an item that says the cemetery is looking for plot ownership information, with a request that if someone knows something to email the cemetery. She also suggested doing a mass mailer. Council Member Pierce stated she was concerned about the records not being received with the transition of the cemetery. The Council should make some considerations for


5

where those records get maintained moving forward, and if needed, support a data record audit to help with plotting. Ms. Andreason stated now that this is a city cemetery, the records are official and need to be archived. Council Member Prokopis, seconded by Council Member Hull, moved to approve the $8,400 for GPR services for the Pleasant Green Cemetery as well as a P-Card for incidentals, but that purchase values be set at a later date. The motion passed unanimously.

− − − − − − − − − − − − − − Code Enforcement Alicia Gonzalez, Code Enforcement Supervisor, Greater Salt Lake Municipal Services District, stated Code Enforcement has created 34 cases in the last 30 days, for a total of 51 cases. It has not had any abatements or cleanups. Most of the cleanups were due to people leaving stuff outside, and when stuff is left outside it deteriorates and attracts rodents. The first time Code Enforcement sees it, it will send a courtesy notice or talk to the resident. If people do not clean it up, Code Enforcement sends a notice of violation, which allows the homeowner 30 days to comply. If they do not abide by that, they get a civil penalty, which is a $50 a day fee in Magna until it is cleaned by the homeowner or the County’s Public Works & Municipal Services Department. If Public Works has to clean it up, it bills the homeowner for the costs. Next week, Code Enforcement will start citing property owners for weeds. Weeds that are not cut become a fire hazard.

− − − − − − − − − − − − − − Animal Services Carrie Sibert, Liaison Coordinator, Salt Lake County Animal Services, delivered a presentation on the Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) Community Cat Program, which included a program overview, the trap and removal method, cat instincts and needs, TNR benefits, and Magna statistics. Council Member Prokopis stated if there are 10 cats in a colony, and 10 colonies, that is 1,000 feral cats. Ms. Sibert stated there could be less. In the hierarchy of a colony, people may only see the common cats; they may not see the most elusive cats. Feral cats know how to avoid people. When Animal Services canvasses the neighborhood to identify where cats hang out, it looks for their caregivers. That is the cat’s home base. However, a lot of caregivers are scared to come forward. Council Member Hull asked if Animal Services wanted caregivers.


6

Ms. Sibert stated yes; if they stop feeding, the cats can become intrusive. Animal Services wants to make sure those caregivers are feeding the colony the appropriate amount of food and then removing the food because it gets dirty and it attracts wildlife. It also wants to know if those caregivers need resources to feed the cats.

− − − − − − − − − − − − − − Greater Salt Lake Municipal Services Department (MSD) – Planning & Development’s Code Update Lupita McClenning, Planning & Development Director, MSD stated Planning & Development staff has reviewed all of the six metro township ordinances to determine the degree of changes required for each chapter or sub chapter. While there are non-conforming uses and non-compliant structures throughout the metro townships, staff is only recommending the ordinances be cleaned up to the minimum standards for property use and to make them easier to read. Ordinance updates will be prioritized into low, medium, and high effort, for example, ordinances that require legislative changes will be high effort. Then, some that are no longer applicable will be removed. The MSD will also be organizing the list of ordinances into a table format, and consolidating topics to make it easier for property owners to find. Council Member Prokopis stated he would like to see comparisons done with other municipalities to see what best practices are, rather than using the County’s ordinances.

♦♦♦ ♦♦♦ ♦♦♦ ♦♦♦ ♦♦♦ Public Hearing THIS BEING THE TIME heretofore set for a public hearing to receive public comment regarding map options for the Magna Metro Township Council. Rori Andreason stated redistricting is done every 10 years when the census comes out to incorporate the growth that has taken place, and certain criteria needs to be used when redistricting. She reviewed the map options, which keep all the Council Members in their districts and that have logical lines, i.e., streets, to keep neighborhoods together. Council Member Hull, seconded by Council Member Prokopis, moved to open the public hearing. The motion passed unanimously. No one appeared to speak to the redistricting options. Council Member Prokopis, seconded by Council Member Hull, moved to close the public hearing. The motion passed unanimously. Council Member Pierce stated she liked Map 11, which had straighter lines and gave her an additional area.

Council Member Prokopis stated in that map, he would lose the area Council Member Pierce would gain. He liked Map 10, which would allow him to keep residents on 3100 South. In that map, Council Member Pierce would also keep her area. Council Member Pierce stated she did not gain anything in Map 10. She did not mind Map 12 , but it is more jagged. Council Member Prokopis stated Map 9 is less jagged, the populations are near equal, and it gives Council Member Pierce opportunity for growth. Council Member Prokopis, seconded by Council Member Hull, moved to approve Map 9. The motion passed 3 to 1, with Council Member Pierce voting “Nay.”

Paul Ashton stated he thought the person hired for Communities That Care was done through the Greater Salt Lake Municipal Services District (MSD). Council Member Hull stated this is not to hire a new person to replace Kellen Schalter who was employed by the County’s Youth Services Division. The Magna Metro Township is paying for all the programming and stuff that is happening now, so this is to get paid through May for that. The contract with Salt Lake County to receive grant funds ends next week. This is to extend it until a new person is hired. Then, it will change. Mr. Ashton stated his understanding of the contract is to allow the County to continue to do grant work for the Magna Metro Township and to bring on the employee, and the contract ends April 20, 2022. He wanted to work with the District Attorney’s Office on the language in here, and asked that either the resolution be approved with modifications to the agreement as needed, subject to legal review, or be deferred for two weeks.

Paul Ashton reviewed the following draft agreements that he would be bringing to the Council as action items in two weeks: The Bird Scooter agreement requires Bird Scooter to get a business license and sign a

business license agreement as opposed to the agreement it offered the Magna Metro Township. Statutorily, scooters have to be given the same privileges as bicycles. So, if bicycles were allowed in parks, scooters would also have to be allowed in parks. By pursuing the business license agreement, Bird Scooter would be agreeing to modifications that would make the scooters a little safer, and more importantly, so the Magna Metro Township was not stuck gathering them up.

The Google Fiber agreement is a franchise agreement basically. It is a template that he

helped develop for White City, and he had to strong-arm Google Fiber to get some of the benefits in the agreement.

Dominion Energy agreement is a franchise agreement for providing natural gas to the city.

Council Reports Unified Fire Authority (UFA) Council Member Hull stated the UFA has a shoulder patch on both sleeves, and right now, they are the same. However, they will be putting a patch on the left sleeve for all 17 UFA communities. It will be the same shape, but it may be a different color. She suggested having the Magna Metro Township’s logo on that sleeve. Council Member Prokopis stated the patch will be similar to the other one so as not to be offsetting, and it will be attached with Velcro. He suggested the UFA come up with the design and then run that by the Council. Council Member Hull stated the UFA will also be naming the stations. There are two in Magna. She asked if those names were tied to Stations 102 and 111. Council Member Prokopis stated the number will never go away, but the UFA also wants a name for the new stations. The Council is free to name the station. Naming it Magna Main Street Station is fine, or it could be named after a historical person. The UFA will want an answer from the Council. He thought it could come up with a recommendation by the next meeting. Council Member Hull suggested setting up a committee to name the station. Council Member Prokopis suggested everyone put their ideas on a list of names. Council Member Hull announced the pancake breakfast on May 21st has been moved from the training center to Fire Station 111, from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM. Drug Take Back

There is a lease agreement that specifies what use the Metro Township has. If the Council leaves the Webster Center can the equipment be taken with and is the Webster Center okay with those terms. Paul Ashton stated the equipment belongs to the Metro Township and can be taken with it. Mayor Peay stated if the equipment is taken down and everything is put back the way it was, the Webster Center is fine.

Mr. Brace stated the fiber is installed in the right-of-way and then ran under the curb to the front yard. A drop line is buried or installed in a small box, depending on how far the home is from the line. A network installation unit is installed as part of an agreement when an individual signs up. Fiber is not installed overhead; however, the option is available in the case fiber cannot be buried. As permits are approved, installation will begin, it will take approximately 20 months to complete the entire build out. Mayor Peay stated there is a lot of building going on right now.

Mr. Brace stated Google builds to capacity. It will work with the Greater Salt Lake Municipal Services District (MSD) and the Magna Metro Township Council to determine new developments. Google will work with new developers to make sure the capacity can meet the demand. If the development has a new road, Google will work to be there at the time it is being constructed so the new road is not cut into. Council Member Barney asked there are areas where there is a bird nest of cables and wires in the right-of-way. What is going to be done to ensure the same type of situation is not going to occur. Mr. Brace stated Google will be the first occupant in the designated space. He does not know how that space will be used in the future or what other utilities will be installed. Council Member Hull stated the Council is talking about its emergency plan. In an emergency there will be some difficulty communicating because of the high usage. Would there be more capacity? Mr. Brace stated if there is a power outage, an individual could plug in outside and get internet. Because the fiber is underground, there will not be the same outages as other utilities.

Wasatch Front Waste and Recycling District (WFWRD) Council Member Barney stated the Board is working to compensate employees based on experience, not just length of service. Expenses have increased but have been offset by a reduction in recycling fees. The financial report was received, and the expenses and fees were reviewed. Mayor Peay stated an individual has brought up the following frustrations with WFWRD’s clean-up program:

- Not being able to reserve a container during clean-up days. - Other waste companies allow residents to put any type of garbage on the curb once a

month and it will pick it up. - She wants the clean-up to happen twice a year instead of once. - She is concerned with the liability that comes with reserving a dumpster.

Council Member Barney stated it is frustrating when a resident cannot reserve a dumpster; however, of all the requests only approximately five percent of reservations are not filled. There are 7,000 homes that are paying for waste and over 1,000 dumpsters are delivered to the community. Residents can obtain a dump voucher that allows them to dump a certain amount of garbage for free, trailers can be rented for a reasonable price, among other options. The WFWRD Board has discussed the community clean-up a lot. The program has been approved by the Board and the General Manager. The current program is set up based on the available budget. If the program changed rates would increase to cover the cost of drivers.

The ditch runs across the inlet, down the road that goes into the subdivision. The tail waters used to run down the ditch through the Richards Ranch subdivision. State statute reads that anytime there is a development that impacts existing water infrastructure, the developer is required to work with the ditch master to engineer a workable solution that is equal to or better than what is being removed. The developer in this situation did not work with the ditch master. Salt Lake County Engineering approved the developers plan without plan to for the ditches. In addition, the developer tore out the ditches without an agreement. Since then, an agreement has been made to get water to the residents that have water rights but the where the tail waters will go has not

been resolved. Right now, the tail waters go into a subdivision and is causing flooding. The developer and ditch master have come to an agreement, but the residents do not agree because it does not meet the equal or better than requirement in the state statute. A stop work order has been issued until there is a solution. At this point, residents are discussing litigation. He has asked Salt Lake County Engineering to present the Council a plan on how it is going to prevent this from happening in the future. There should be a formal plan in place and the Council should be made aware of it.

Ordinance Amendment Summary and Recommendation

Public Body:

Meeting Date:

Proposal:

Planner:

Magna Metro Township Council

June 14, 2022

This amendment would repeal and replace all of Title 19, Chapter 55 with a new Mixed-Use Zoning District for Magna’s Downtown Historic District. The proposed change is in response to community requests for greater vibrancy and more responsive ordinances in the downtown area. The language establishes use and design provisions tailored to the unique character of the downtown.

Brian Tucker, Senior Planner (Interim Current Planning Supervisor)Matt Starley, Long Range Planner

Recommendation: Recommend approval of the proposed ordinance as drafted.

BACKGROUND & DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM

When Magna Metro Township incorporated as a municipality, the Salt Lake County Subdivision and Zoning Ordinances, along with the applicable portions of the Official Zoning Map, were adopted in order to ensure continuity during the transition. These codes had been written with the entire Unincorporated County in mind and were not specific to Magna. Among the many incongruities, Historic Magna Main Street, with its traditional downtown building pattern, was zoned C-3, a generic commercial zone geared to a suburban, auto-dependent development pattern.

Development created using the C-3 Zone is not compatible with the historic development pattern. A building created under the current Zone could be up to six stories (or 75 feet) tall, even though the historic buildings on Main Street are no taller than three stories. On a corner lot, the C-3 side yard setback requirements for the part of the structure facing a public street are twentyfeet, which would result in a building footprint that does not currently exist in the downtownarea. On Magna Main Street there are existing buildings with commercial uses on the ground

Request: Ordinance Amendment File #: OAM2022-000609

Page 2 of 4

floor and residential uses on the upper floor; yet these historic and desired mixed-use buildings are not allowed in the existing C-3 zone. Residential buildings, even multi-family structures, have front, side and rear setbacks that are not typical of the historic development pattern. Uses that are not typical of historic downtowns, such as lumber yards, used car lots, fish hatcheries and golf courses are all allowed in the C-3 zone.

After adopting their General Plan in 2021, staff and elected officials intended for a supplementary Magna Historic District Plan to be created. It was originally anticipated that a Downtown Historic Zoning District would be created after the development of such a plan. However, development pressure is extremely high along the Wasatch Front and several developers have shown interest in parcels within the Historic District. If a developer were to build to the existing C-3 zone, the outcome would be a project that does not fit the community’s vision for Downtown Magna.

Recognizing that an amendment to the zoning is needed before the Historic District Plan can be officially adopted in 2023, the Magna Council has requested, and MSD Planning Staff are proposing, a Downtown Historic Mixed-Use Zoning District created specifically for Magna’s unique context. The proposed ordinance amendment establishes basic use and design standards to facilitate a healthy downtown. However, once the Historic District Plan is completed, staff will revisit this ordinance and work with the community on any revisions or expanded design guidelines necessitated by the Plan.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE

The proposed Downtown Historic (DH) Zone intends to promote development compatible with those uses and buildings that make up Magna’s existing and envisioned downtown. The new chapter prohibits incompatible uses currently allowed under the C-3 Zone, such as outdoor chemical toilet rental, impound lots, and motorboat sales. Other antiquated uses such as oil burner shops and five and ten cent stores, along with perfectly modern uses such as bakeries and print shops have been combined into use categories such as 'Retail’ and ‘Personal Care Services’. These categories of uses include existing commercial uses and respond to existing and future technologies in a way that the previous ordinance (which included bookbinders) did not. The uses included in the proposed DH Zone have been specifically chosen as those that are typical of smaller commercial buildings with a compact, walkable environment. The Schedule of Permitted Uses can be found in 19.55.030 of the draft ordinance (Exhibit A).

In addition to presenting uses as permitted, conditional or prohibited, the code establishes special provisions where applicable that are unique to those uses. The conditions are intended to ensure compatibility with surrounding uses as well as guide real estate professionals, future tenants, and landowners in choosing tenant spaces appropriate for proposed uses. The special conditions (see section 19.55.040) also allow some uses that would have otherwise been administered through Conditional Use Permits to be reviewed instead through the simpler Permitted Use process. Please note that definitions for the included use categories are found in Section 19.55.100. As a part of Magna's larger ordinance updates, these definitions will later be placed in a comprehensive chapter containing all definitions for Title 19.

The development standards in the proposed mixed-use ordinance were written to ensure that new construction in Magna’s Historic Downtown is compatible with existing building footprints. The ordinance is written to allow heights from one to four stories, in the 15- to 50-foot range, with a stepback required after 40-feet. Transparency requirements, a measure of the percentage of a façade that allows light to pass through (i.e. glass), are intended to mirror those found in existing buildings that contribute to Magna’s Historic District designation. In order to encourage foot traffic, ground floor entries on primary facades are required to be no more than 35 feet apart, and entries are required on the corners of buildings located on corner lots. Front and side setbacks encourage buildings to be built as they traditionally were in downtown areas, with little to no front setback and in most cases with zero side setback. It is important to note that the drafted ordinance includes an exception for historic district contributing buildings (see 19.55.050). Although staff have drafted development standards in the proposed chapter with the intent of maintaining consistency with the existing Main Street and facilitating downtown vibrancy, they recognize that there may be instances in which flexibility is needed to protect Magna’s recognized historic buildings. No part of this drafted ordinance should result in Magna’s Historic District designation being impaired.

Staff is not currently proposing a rezone (map amendment) of the entire Magna Main Street. This proposed ordinance is merely a first step, which establishes a mixed-use zoning district to better serve the community’s needs. If established, the DH zone would be available for developers to request through the Rezone Application (with the zoning applying only to the specific property for which the rezone was approved). Such rezone would come to the Planning Commission and then Council for review. In the future, the Planning Commission or Council may request that staff work on a larger zoning map amendment. That process will require significant engagement with existing property owners in the Main Street area.

PUBLIC NOTICE AND COMMENT

Public notice was provided in accordance with Utah Code 10-9a-205. Public notice was mailed to affected entities on May 26, 2022. Notice was also posted on the Utah Public Notice Website at least 10 days prior to the public hearing. No public comment has been received as of the writing of this report.

REVIEW PROCEDURE AND CRITERIA

The Magna Metro Township Council is the land use authority for zoning ordinance amendments. The Metro Township Council cannot amend zoning ordinances without first submitting the proposed amendment to the Magna Metro Township Planning Commission for the Commission’s recommendation. The Planning Commission must hold a public hearing and review and recommend an action to the Council; the Commission may recommend adoption, adoption with revisions, or not recommend adoption as they see fit. On June 9th, the Commission held a hearing and made a recommendation of adoption with revisions, as outlined in Exhibit B, and incorporated into the draft ordinance language (Exhibit A). Following this recommendation, the Council shall hold a public meeting, at which they may adopt, adopt with revisions, or reject the ordinance amendment recommended by the Planning Commission.


Page 4 of 4

An ordinance amendment can be adopted by the Council if it is reasonably debatable that the decision could promote the public welfare. It is not necessary to show that the decision actually promotes the public welfare, or is the best alternative, as long as it is reasonably debatable that the public could benefit from the decision.

Staff are recommending that existing Title 19, Chapter 55 be repealed and replaced with the proposed language provided in Exhibit A.

COUNCIL ACTIONS

The Council has three options with respect to the proposed ordinance amendment:

• Option 1: Adopt the ordinance amendment as proposed; or

• Option 2: Adopt the ordinance amendment with revisions; or

• Option 3: Deny the ordinance amendment.

PLANNING STAFF RECOMMENDATION

Staff recommends that the Council adopts the ordinance amendment as drafted. Staff have reviewed the drafted ordinance and found the following:

• The drafted language reflects the vision of the General Plan as adopted;

• The drafted language includes revisions recommended by the Planning Commissionfollowing the June 9th hearing;

• The drafted language is consistent with feedback received from elected officials andthe community, including feedback received from the Magna Main Street WorkingGroup on May 23rd (see Exhibit D);

• The drafted language does not create a plethora of non-conforming uses; and

• The drafted language simplifies application processes and is easier for the user tounderstand than the previous C-3 Zone.

Magna Planning Commission: Mixed-Use Ordinance ProposalMSD Planning & Development Services. June 9th, 2022 .

EXHIBIT B

Staff is recommending the repeal and replace of Title 19, Chapter 55 with a new Chapter 19.55 DH Mixed-Use Zone.

The Planning Commission may recommend that the Council:1. Adopt as drafted;2. Adopt with revisions; or3. Deny the ordinance amendment.

The Commission will take and consider comments from the public when the public hearing is opened.

Proposed Amendment: Background

WHAT is being proposed?• A new mixed-use zone, specifically for

application in the designated historic district (2021).

• Straightforward regulations pertaining both to use and to design, with the understanding that additional standards may be added as dictated in the coming Historic District Plan.

• Mix of residential and commercial uses, with form compatible with what exists currently.

WHY is it being proposed?• Existing C-3 Zoning is not working for developers, staff,

or residents (comments 2020-2022).• No mixed-use district is currently established in Magna.• The downtown requires a mix of residential and

commercial uses in order to be viable (2021 General Plan).

• Downtown should be protected from incompatible development while staff works with the community to complete the Historic District Plan.

Proposed Amendment: Contents

• Limit the creation of non-conforming uses. The drafted language allows some existing usesto persist as permitted if they were established legally prior to the adoption of the ordinance.

• Simplify procedures and create clear standards. The draft chapter significantly decreasesconditional uses and organizes standards in easy-to-understand tables. Definitions areincluded for clarity.

• Protect the Historic District Designation. Staff included an exception that allows for certaindevelopment standards to be waived if adherence to those standards would result in abuilding losing its "contributing" status.

• Keep it simple. The draft chapter offers the minimum standards required to meet existingneeds and protect the historic integrity of Main Street. Staff fully anticipates that more detailedand nuanced design standards will result from the coming Historic District Plan. As directed bythe community, such standards would be incorporated into this Chapter at a later date.

requirement within the footprint of the building.• Potential Extends the public realm in a narrow corridor. The Historic Main

Streetscape lacks width to provide a healthy furniture zone within the public right of way, without sacrificing parking.

• Rooftop patios will hopefully extend the sense of public/private spacein the district.

Proposed Amendment: What happens after adoption?

This hearing and Planning Commission motion is only regarding the text ordinance.

A zoning map amendment is a separate process that would be initiated at the request of the Planning Commission or Council. It requires significantly more engagement with property owners.

Once the Zoning District is established (i.e. this ordinance is adopted), it would be available for property owners to request a rezone where applicable. A rezone would come back to the Planning Commission for recommendation and the Council for approval. The Council makes the ultimate decision on where this ordinance would be applied.

Public Body: Magna Metro Township Planning Commission

Meeting Date: June 9, 2022

Proposal: This amendment would repeal and replace all of Title 19, Chapter 55 with a new Mixed-Use Zoning District for Magna’s Downtown Historic District. The proposed change is in response to community requests for greater vibrancy and more responsive ordinances in the downtown area. The language establishes use and design provisions tailored to the unique character of the downtown.

Planner: Kayla Mauldin, Senior Long Range Planner

Recommendation: Recommend approval of the proposed ordinance to the Magna Metro Township Council

BACKGROUND & DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM

When Magna Metro Township incorporated as a municipality, the Salt Lake County Subdivision and Zoning Ordinances, along with the applicable portions of the Official Zoning Map, were adopted in order to ensure continuity during the transition. These codes had been written with the entire Unincorporated County in mind and were not specific to Magna. Among the many incongruities, Historic Magna Main Street, with its traditional downtown building pattern, was zoned C-3, a generic commercial zone geared to a suburban, auto-dependent development pattern.

Development created using the C-3 Zone is not compatible with the historic development pattern. A building created under the current Zone could be up to six stories (or 75 feet) tall, even though the historic buildings on Main Street are no taller than three stories. On a corner lot, the C-3 side yard setback requirements for the part of the structure facing a public street are twentyfeet, which would result in a building footprint that does not currently exist in the downtownarea. On Magna Main Street there are existing buildings with commercial uses on the ground

EXHIBIT C

floor and residential uses on the upper floor; yet these historic and desired mixed-use buildings are not allowed in the existing C-3 zone. Residential buildings, even multi-family structures, have front, side and rear setbacks that are not typical of the historic development pattern. Uses that are not typical of historic downtowns, such as lumber yards, used car lots, fish hatcheries and golf courses are all allowed in the C-3 zone. After adopting their General Plan in 2021, staff and elected officials intended for a supplementary Magna Historic District Plan to be created. It was originally anticipated that a Downtown Historic Zoning District would be created after the development of such a plan. However, development pressure is extremely high along the Wasatch Front and several developers have shown interest in parcels within the Historic District. If a developer were to build to the existing C-3 zone, the outcome would be a project that does not fit the community’s vision for Downtown Magna. Recognizing that an amendment to the zoning is needed before the Historic District Plan can be officially adopted in 2023, the Magna Council has requested, and MSD Planning Staff are proposing, a Downtown Historic Mixed-Use Zoning District created specifically for Magna’s unique context. The proposed ordinance amendment establishes basic use and design standards to facilitate a healthy downtown. However, once the Historic District Plan is completed, staff will revisit this ordinance and work with the community on any revisions or expanded design guidelines necessitated by the Plan.


The proposed Downtown Historic (DH) Zone intends to promote development compatible with those uses and buildings that make up Magna’s existing and envisioned downtown. The new chapter prohibits incompatible uses currently allowed under the C-3 Zone, such as outdoor chemical toilet rental, impound lots, and motorboat sales. Other antiquated uses such as oil burner shops and five and ten cent stores, along with perfectly modern uses such as bakeries and print shops have been combined into use categories such as 'Retail’ and ‘Personal Care Services’. These categories of uses include existing commercial uses and respond to existing and future technologies in a way that the previous ordinance (which included bookbinders) did not. The uses included in the proposed DH Zone have been specifically chosen as those that are typical of smaller commercial buildings with a compact, walkable environment. The Schedule of Permitted Uses can be found in 19.55.030 of the draft ordinance (Exhibit A). In addition to presenting uses as permitted, conditional or prohibited, the code establishes special provisions where applicable that are unique to those uses. The conditions are intended to ensure compatibility with surrounding uses as well as guide real estate professionals, future tenants, and landowners in choosing tenant spaces appropriate for proposed uses. The special conditions (see section 19.55.040) also allow some uses that would have otherwise been administered through Conditional Use Permits to be reviewed instead through the simpler Permitted Use process.


Page 3 of 4

The development standards in the proposed mixed-use ordinance were written to ensure that new construction in Magna’s Historic Downtown is compatible with existing building footprints. The ordinance is written to allow heights from one to three stories, in the 15- to 45-foot range. Transparency requirements, a measure of the percentage of a façade that allows light to pass through (i.e. glass), are intended to mirror those found in existing buildings that contribute to Magna’s Historic District designation; traditional buildings typically feature 70% transparency on the ground floor, and 20% on upper stories. In order to encourage foot traffic, ground floor entries are required to be no more than 55 feet apart and entries are required on the corners of buildings located on corner lots. Front and side setbacks encourage buildings to be built as they traditionally were in downtown areas, with little to no front setback and in most cases with zero side setback. It is important to note that the drafted ordinance includes an exception for historic district contributing buildings (see 19.55.050). Although staff have drafted development standards in the proposed chapter with the intent of maintaining consistency with the existing Main Street and facilitating downtown vibrancy, they recognize that there may be instances in which flexibility is needed to protect Magna’s recognized historic buildings. No part of this drafted ordinance should result in Magna’s Historic District designation being impaired. Staff is not currently proposing a rezone of the entire Magna Main Street. This proposed ordinance is merely a first step, which establishes a mixed-use zoning district to better serve the community’s needs. If established, this DH zone would be available for developers to request through the Rezone Application (with the zoning applying only to the specific property for which the rezone was approved). In the future, the Planning Commission or Council may request that staff work on a larger zoning map amendment. That process will require significant engagement with existing property owners in the Main Street area.


Public notice was provided in accordance with Utah Code 10-9a-205. Public notice was mailed to affected entities on May 26, 2022. Notice was also posted on the Utah Public Notice Website at least 10 days prior to the public hearing. No public comment has been received as of the writing of this report.


The Magna Metro Township Council is the land use authority for zoning ordinance amendments. The Metro Township Council cannot amend zoning ordinances without first submitting the proposed amendment to the Magna Metro Township Planning Commission for the Commission’s recommendation. The Planning Commission must hold a public hearing and review and recommend an action to the Council; the Commission may recommend adoption, adoption with revisions, or not recommend adoption as they see fit. Following the Planning Commission’s recommendation, the Council must hold a public meeting, at which they may adopt, adopt with revisions, or reject the ordinance amendment recommended by the Planning Commission.


Page 4 of 4

An ordinance amendment can be adopted by the Council if it is reasonably debatable that the decision could promote the public welfare. It is not necessary to show that the decision actually promotes the public welfare, or is the best alternative, as long as it is reasonably debatable that the public could benefit from the decision. Staff are recommending that existing Title 19, Chapter 55 be repealed and replaced with the proposed language provided in Exhibit A.

PLANNING COMMISSION ACTIONS

The Planning Commission has three options with respect to the proposed ordinance amendment:

• Option 1: Recommend that the Council adopt the ordinance amendment as proposed; or

• Option 2: Recommend that the Council adopt the ordinance amendment with revisions; or

• Option 3: Recommend that the Council deny the ordinance amendment.


Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend approval of the ordinance amendment as drafted. Staff have reviewed the drafted ordinance and found the following:

• The drafted language reflects the vision of the General Plan as adopted;

• The drafted language is consistent with feedback received from elected officials and the community, including feedback received from the Magna Main Street Working Group on May 23rd (see Exhibit B);

• The drafted language does not create a plethora of non-conforming uses; and

• The drafted language simplifies application processes and is easier for the user to understand than the previous C-3 Zone.

CHAPTER 19.55 DH MIXED-USE ZONE

19.55.010 – Purpose of Provisions.

This Chapter is intended to define the character of Magna’s Downtown Historic District (DH) Mixed-Use Zone. The DH Zone implements the vision identified in the Magna General Plan (2021) for the Historic Preservation Future Land Use Area. The DH Zone is intended for application only in the historic blocks of Magna’s Main Street.

19.55.020 – Establishment of Mixed-Use Zoning Districts.

1. Establishment of Mixed-Use Zoning Districts: In order to anticipate and respond to the changingneeds of our community and implement mixed-use and livability concepts included in the adopted General Plan, the following zoning district is established:

1. Downtown Historic District (DH): The DH district is intended to promote a dense mixtureof uses consistent with the district’s historic role in Magna. Emphasis is placed onentertainment, theaters, restaurants, retail, and specialty shops. Medium-densityresidential and office infill on upper floors is encouraged, as is the continued presence ofthe library, museum, senior center, and supporting uses.

19.55.030 – Schedule of Permitted Uses.

A. Schedule of Permitted Uses. The specific uses listed in the following schedule are permitted in thezones as indicated, subject to the general provisions, special conditions, additional restrictions,and exceptions set forth in this Code.

B. Special Conditions. A number in a cell particular to a use indicates that special provisions orconditions apply to the use category for this zone. The conditions follow the schedule of uses, inSection 19.55.040.

C. Procedure for Multiple Uses (Combination of Uses). Where a development proposal involves acombination of uses other than accessory uses, the more restrictive provisions of this Code shallapply. For example, if a portion of a development is subject to Conditional Use (“CU”) approvaland the other portion is subject only to Permitted Use (“P) review, the entire development shallbe reviewed utilizing the Conditional Use process.

D. Abbreviations. The abbreviations used in the schedule have the following meanings:

1. P = Permitted Use. These uses are allowed in the zoning district but may be subject torestrictions and approval processes as provided in this Title.

2. CU = Conditional Use. These are land uses that, because of their unique characteristics orpotential impact on the municipality, surrounding neighbors, or adjacent land uses, maynot be compatible in some areas of the zoning district, or may be compatible only ifcertain conditions are required that mitigate the detrimental impacts. The PlanningCommission is the approval authority for uses with this designation.

3. X = Prohibited Use. These uses are not allowed in this zoning district. Uses not specificallypermitted herein are prohibited.

EXHIBIT B

Project Scope

WHAT are we proposing?• A new mixed-use zone, specifically for

application in the designated historic district.

• Straightforward regulations pertaining both to use and to design, with the understanding that additional standards may be added as dictated in the coming Historic District Plan.

• Mix of residential and commercial uses, with form compatible with what exists currently.

WHY are we proposing it?• Existing C-3 Zoning is not working for

developers, staff, or residents.• No mixed-use zoning district is

currently established in Magna.• The downtown requires a mix of

residential and commercial uses in order to be viable.

• We need to protect the downtown from out of place development while staff performs additional analysis and engagement through the Historic District Plan.

Medium-density residential and office infill on upper floors is encouraged, as is the continued presence of the library, museum, senior center, and supporting uses.

Mixed-Use Approval Process: Where a development proposal involves a combination of uses other than accessory uses, the more restrictive provisions of this Code shall apply. For example, if a portion of a development is subject to Conditional Use (“CU”) approval and the other portion is subject only to Permitted Use (“P”) review, the entire development shall be reviewed utilizing the Conditional Use process.

Public Body: Magna Metro Township Council


Proposal: An amendment to Magna Municipal Code section 19.78.20. A proposed

amendment to Magna Municipal Code to allow an exception to the Applicability

and Area Requirements for a Planned Unit Development to allow certain multi-

family uses identified within Magna Municipal Code to use the Planned Unit

Development Standards and development process to create owner-occupied

units

Planner: Brian Tucker

Recommendation: Recommend approval of the proposed ordinance

DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM

MSD staff has repeatedly faced a problem with development proposals that involve multiple dwellings that are for sale (e.g., townhouse, attached single-family unit), when the site is less than 3 acres. The Magna zoning code currently only permits projects on smaller sites with multiple units if they are on one lot and for rent, rather than divided into separate lots and for sale. The Magna Municipal Code requires that a Planned Unit Development (PUD) have at least 3 acres. The PUD ordinance gives guidance on the standards for multi-family projects and creates a means by which those projects can be owner occupied. The Code also lists a number of uses, including multi-family, group dwellings, dwelling groups, single family project developments and residential development with any number of dwelling units per structure, per lot. These are all residential uses that can be approved based on the density tables in the applicable zone rather than lot size. In the case of dwelling groups and single-family project developments, the context of the code makes it clear that these projects are intended to be in one ownership, rather than each unit or dwelling being owner occupied. These uses also include language that provides some guidance on the requirements and standards by which they should be evaluated.

File # OAM2022-000542


Page 2 of 3

Multi-family, group dwellings and residential development with any number of dwelling units per structure lack description or context. These uses generally lack usable development standards or an approval process and cannot be made owner-occupied even though there is no clear reason they couldn’t be. If the project area for one of these uses contained 3 acres, the MSD staff would use the PUD standards, but these projects often lack 3 acres and have been proposed with as little as .65 acres. Because they lack definition, context and standards, the proposed amendment would apply to only this second group of uses.


Staff would like to amend the PUD ordinance, chapter 19.78 of the municipal code, to allow certain uses to be processed as PUD’s, using a slightly modified version of the PUD standards, including the ability to create owner occupied projects. The proposed amendment would apply only to the R-M Residential Zone and the C-2 and C-3 Commercial Zones. In the R-M zone, the only use listed that the amendment would apply to is the “Residential development with and number of dwelling units per structure per lot, pursuant to Section 19.44.040.” In the commercial zones, it is only the “multiple dwellings: group dwelling” use to which the amendments would apply. Project areas with less than ½ acre and projects with less than 8 units would be excluded. The ordinance is intended to provide a way for smaller multi-family uses to become owner-occupied. However, when the project area is too small or when the dwelling units are limited, these projects can be a detriment to a community. A for sale product with too few owners to bear the financial burden of common areas, exterior and party walls becomes burdensome. When this happens, the owners may look to the municipality for help, potentially creating a burden on the taxpayers that should be borne by homeowners. The proposed ordinance would require these developments to follow the lot width, area, and setback requirements for the zone the project is located in. These standards will now apply to the project boundary, rather than the property boundaries of the resulting lots or pads. Height would be subject to the PUD standards. A project developed under this amendment would follow the density of the “underlying zone”, meaning the R-M or C-2/3 zone the project is developed under. A project developed under this amended code would be subject to the ownership, interior streets, garbage and recycling, parking, building materials, interior streetlight, and signage requirements of the PUD ordinance. Projects developed under this amended code are subject to modified standards for landscaping along public rights of way, perimeter fencing and open space requirements because smaller project areas have different challenges than larger PUD’s. A smaller PUD is more likely to make use of a public street for access to individual lots and private yards rather than common open space. Because these project areas are smaller, developments created under the proposed ordinance will not be able to increase the base density due to the density bonuses that larger PUD’s can make use of.

Public notice was provided in accordance with Utah Code 10-9a-205. Public notice was mailed to affected entities on May 2, 2022. Notice was also posted on the Utah Public Notice Website at least 10 days prior to the public hearing. No public comment has been received as of writing this report.


The Magna Township Council is the land use authority for zoning ordinance amendments. The Township Council cannot amend the zoning map without first submitting the amendment to the Magna Township Planning Commission for the Planning Commission’s recommendation. The Planning Commission must hold a public hearing and review and recommend an action to the Council. The Council must then hold a public hearing, after which they may adopt, adopt with revisions, or reject the ordinance amendment recommended by the Planning Commission. An ordinance amendment can be approved if it is reasonably debatable that the decision could promote the public welfare. It is not necessary to show that the decision actually promotes the public welfare, or is the best alternative, as long as it is reasonably debatable that the public could benefit from the decision.


On May 13, 2022, the Magna Township Planning Commission recommended that the Magna Township Council approve the proposed ordinance.

VOTING








SECTION I. The amendments made here are designated by underlining the new substituted

words. Words being deleted are designated by brackets and interlineations.

SECTION II. Chapter 19.78 of the Magna Metro Township Code of Ordinances is amended as

follows in order to allow an exception to the Applicability and Area Requirements for a Planned Unit

Development to allow certain multi-family uses identified within Magna Municipal Code to use the

Planned Unit Development Standards and development process to create owner-occupied units.

19.78.20 Applicability And Area Requirements

A. Planned Unit Developments. A planned unit development is a conditional use that is only

allowed for residential uses, except as provided in Section 19.78.040, and in zones that allow

residential uses. The provisions in this chapter shall govern over the chapters relating to these

other zones and other chapters in this title, with the exception of the FCOZ ordinance,

Chapters 19.72 and 19.73, and the RCOZ ordinance (,Chapter 19.71), and Subsection B

herein. A planned unit development in these zones shall have a minimum area of three acres,

with the following exceptions:

1. Existing condominium developments that cannot be sold or refinanced without the

common area adjoining the homes in the development being divided up into individual

lots that include the adjoining homes, and where these newly created lots would not

qualify as traditional subdivision lots under county ordinance. In such cases, the newly

created lots may qualify as a planned unit development if the development is at least one

acre in size. Such a development shall be exempt from the provisions of this chapter,

except Sections 19.78.090—19.78.130 relating to review of the development.

2. Developments abutting or contiguous to a corridor as defined in the general plan shall

have a minimum area of one acre. To qualify as a development that is abutting or

contiguous to a corridor, said development shall have a minimum frontage of the sum of

the required minimum lot width of two lots as determined by the current zoning

designation.

B. Attached Owner-Occupied Residential Development.

1. Purpose. Magna Municipal Code allows for a number of attached residential

development types beyond PUDs and condominiums, including residential development

with more than two dwellings per structure. Residential development with more than two

dwellings per structure is inadequately served by existing development processes and the

PUD ordinance established through the rest of this Chapter. The purpose of this

Subsection is to create development standards and review processes specific to residential

development with more than two dwellings per structure, for-rent, and for-sale, on lots of

less than three acres.

2. Applicability. The following uses identified within the Magna Municipal Code, when

not meeting the applicability of the three-acre PUD requirements, shall be subject to the

requirements of this Subsection B.:

a. In the R-M Residential Zone: Residential development with any number of dwelling

units per structure per lot, pursuant to Section 19.44.040; and

b. In the C-2 and C-3 Commercial Zones: Multiple dwellings; group dwellings.

https://magna.municipalcodeonline.com/book?type=ordinances#name=19.78.020_Applicability_And_Area_Requirements

c. A development approved under this part shall have a project area of less than 3 acres

but not less than ½ acre. This part does not apply to single or multi-phase projects

containing 3 or more acres; such developments shall proceed under the PUD process

as outlined in further sections of this Chapter.

d. In order to facilitate the shared maintenance of common areas and amenities without

burdening too few owners, a development approved under this part shall contain no

fewer than 8 dwelling units.

3. Interpretation of width, area, setback, and height requirements from the applicable

zone:

a. Developments under this part shall follow the lot width, area, and setback

requirements identified for the zoning district in which the development is located.

b. Developments under this part shall follow the height requirements established for a

PUD in Subsection 19.78.030.K.2 of this Chapter.

c. Lot width and area requirements apply to the project area as a whole and not any

single lot or building pad created by a project developed under this part.

d. Setback requirements are measured from the project boundary, between structures

and roads and not from the lots or building pad created by a project developed under

this part.

4. Applicable developments shall be processed for approval under this part with the

following requirements:

a. A development approved under this part shall not exceed the allowable density or

coverage of the applicable zone.

b. A development approved under this part is subject to the ownership, interior streets,

garbage and recycling, parking, building materials, interior streetlights, and signage

requirements of this Chapter.

c. A development approved under this part is subject to the open space, interior streets,

landscaping on public right of way, and perimeter fencing requirements of this

Chapter, as modified by this part.

a. A development approved under this part may include the required landscaping on

public rights-of-way within the yard area of a lot developed within the project or

as common open space.

b. A development approved under this part is subject to the perimeter fencing

requirements of this chapter except that a lot or unit with primary access from a

public right of way is not subject to the fencing requirements for the front yard of

that lot or unit.

c. A development approved under this part is subject to the 40% open space

requirement of this Chapter but not subject to the 20% common area requirement.

d. A development approved under this part is not eligible for any density bonus for any

reason.

19.78.030 Development Requirements

The following are required for all developments:

https://magna.municipalcodeonline.com/book?type=ordinances#name=19.78.030_Development_Requirements

A. Ownership. The property shall be in single or corporate ownership at the time of

application, or the subject of an application filed jointly by all owners of the property.

B. Open Space. Common and private open space shall be provided and shall cover no less

than forty percent of the gross site area. Common open space shall be provided in the

amount of at least twenty percent of the gross site area. For purposes of this chapter,

gross site area is defined as the total area of a planned unit development excluding

anything in the public right-of-way.

The required common open space shall be land areas that are not occupied by buildings,

dwellings, structures, parking areas, streets, public park strips, curb-gutter-sidewalk,

driveways, or alleys and shall be accessible by all residents of the development.

Buildings erected for the purpose of providing an amenity may be included as open

space. Said open space may be an area of land or water set aside, or reserved for use by

residents of the development, including an expanse of lawn, trees, plants, fully accessible

landscaped roof areas, or other natural areas. Common open space also includes common

walkways (but not curb-gutter-sidewalk), formal picnic areas, and recreational areas.

Common open space may be distributed throughout the development and need not be in a

single large area. Common open space may include sensitive areas, such as areas with

thirty percent or greater slope, fault zones, flood plains, high water tables, and wetlands,

if they have been designed as an integral element of the project.

Private open space is that space which is provided for each dwelling unit for personal use.

Private open space is typically located immediately adjacent to or attached to the

dwelling unit it is designed to serve and is for the exclusive use of the residents of the

dwelling unit. Landscaped roof areas, balconies, or decks attached to individual units are

considered private open space and are not to be calculated as part of required common

open space.

The planning commission may reduce the open space requirements of this section in

order to accommodate a density bonus provided for in this chapter.

C. Interior Streets. The design of public and private streets within a development shall

follow county standards for roadway development as defined by the county transportation

engineer. Private streets shall be subject to the same inspections and construction

standards as required for public streets. The county shall be granted a utility easement of

the entire interior street system in a development project. All private streets shall be

conveyed to a private association.

D. Garbage and Recycling. The development shall be designed to accommodate and

efficiently manage the collection, storage, and removal of garbage in harmony with the

neighborhood so as to minimize detrimental effects of the collection, storage, and

removal on any residence within the development or abutting neighborhoods. If dumpster

enclosures are provided for the development, no refuse dumpster or dumpster enclosure

structure shall be located closer than ten feet to any perimeter property line. Enclosure

structures must have a minimum of three sides that reflect or emulate the materials,

design, and quality of the overall development. All developments shall provide recycling

services.

E. Parking. The following minimum parking shall be provided for all multi-family projects

under this chapter:

1. Table of Parking Ratios.

One bedroom unit 1.5 parking spaces per unit

Two or more bedroom units 2.0 parking spaces per unit

Guest parking spaces 0.33 parking spaces per unit (min. of 6)

Storage parking spaces for recreational

vehicle storage Not Allowed

2. The parking requirements identified in this section supersede other parking

requirements in this title.

3. All parking areas, covered or open, except garages, shall have a landscaped buffer

in accordance with Chapter 19.77, Water Efficient Landscape Design and

Development Standards.

4. Developments offering the amenities listed below are entitled to the applicable

parking reductions. These reductions are not mandatory, but if they are chosen,

are cumulative. The planning commission may further modify the required

parking with support of a traffic study.

Eligible Unit Parking Reductions

Amenity Reduction (stalls/unit)

Car Sharing (minimum 100 dwelling units) 0.05 per car share vehicle

Bicycle Lockers/Storage (1 space per unit

required) 0.05

For Mixed-Use PUDs (19.78.040), shared

parking that allows both customers and residents

to park in the same spaces.

0.20

5. Parking is prohibited within approved fire access and turn-around facilities.

6. Garages are encouraged.

a. Garage parking, if used, shall have a minimum unobstructed size of twenty-

two feet wide by twenty feet in length, or twenty feet wide by twenty-two feet

in length. Single-car garages are also permitted and shall have a minimum

unobstructed size of ten feet wide by twenty-two feet in length, or eleven feet

wide by twenty feet in length.

b. Covered parking, if used, shall be placed in locations adjacent or convenient

to the buildings that they are intended to serve.

c. Tandem spaces may be allowed with a minimum size requirement of twenty

feet long by nine feet wide per parking space, up to a maximum of two

contiguous spaces per unit.

d. Tandem spaces may be allowed with a minimum size requirement of twenty

feet long by nine feet wide per parking space, up to a maximum of two

contiguous spaces per unit.

7. Underground parking. Installation of underground parking adequate to meet fifty

percent of the parking requirements of this section excluding guest parking, shall

receive a twenty percent density bonus for the planned unit development.

F. Building Materials. Exterior materials of a durable or resilient nature such as brick, stone,

stucco, prefinished panel, composite materials, or other materials of similar quality,

hardiness, and low maintenance characteristics shall be used. No single material is

allowed to exceed fifty percent on street-facing facades. Other materials may be

considered for soffits, or as an accent or architectural feature. Twenty-five year

guarantee, architectural shingles and/or other longer lasting roof materials are required.

G. Landscaping on Public Right-of-Way. With the exception of Forestry Zones, where a

development is adjacent to a public right-of-way, a permanent open space shall be

required along any front, side, or rear yard adjacent to said right-of-way. This area shall

be kept free of buildings and structures (except fences, as per Chapter 19.77.050, and

approved by the planning commission), and permanently maintained with street trees and

other landscaping, screened or protected by natural features, as per Chapter 19.77. If such

areas are the result of double frontage lot designs with inadequate access to the street,

such areas shall be landscaped as per Chapter 19.77 with a five-foot landscaped area.

Aesthetic entrance features are encouraged. Additional landscape treatments or buffers

may also be required with width and landscaping specifications as per Chapter 19.77.

H. Perimeter Fencing. With the exception of Forestry Zones, fencing around the perimeter of

all developments shall be provided. Acceptable fencing materials include architecturally

designed brick, stone, or block, or pre-cast concrete. Fencing with materials using

composite products, wrought iron, wood, or vinyl may be allowed with a minimum two-

foot wide, six-foot tall brick or stone pillar spaced every ten feet on center. Unless

otherwise allowed by the planning commission, exterior fencing along a public right-of-

way shall be limited to brick, stone, or block, or pre-cast concrete and be setback a

minimum of five feet from the property line to allow for a landscaping buffer designed in

accordance with Chapter 19.77 to soften long expanses of walls. Interior fencing shall

comply with Section 19.78.030(11)(f).

I. Interior Street Lights. With the exception of Forestry Zones, street and pedestrian lighting

for streets on the interior of the PUD is required. All lighting fixtures shall be directed

downward with mechanisms to prevent dark sky illumination. The applicant shall submit

a plan which indicates the type and location of lights in relation to the development and

designed for pedestrian safety. Minimum average foot-candles for local residential roads

(thirty-five feet maximum) shall be 0.3, and shall be 0.5 for residential collector roads

(thirty-six feet—forty-five feet).

J. Signage. Only low profile signs with a maximum size of fifty square feet, and five feet in

height are allowed. No temporary signs are allowed other than for sale or rent signs with

a maximum of six square feet in area per side. Only three such signs are allowed per three

hundred feet of frontage. The size, location, design and nature of signs, if any, and the

intensity and direction of any associated lighting shall be detailed in the application, and,

except as provided in this chapter, shall be consistent with the characteristics of the

community and Chapter 19.82, Signs.

K. Site Plan. All developments shall be guided by a total design plan in which the following

development standards may be varied to allow density bonuses, and flexibility and

creativity in site design and building location. The planning commission may require

such arrangements of structures, open spaces, landscaping, buffering, and access within

the site development plan so that adjacent properties will not be adversely affected. The

following criteria shall be used by the planning commission principally to assure the

design objectives of this section are met.

1. Density. Subject to the following density bonuses, the density allowed for a

development shall be no greater than that allowed in the zone in which it is

located. Density shall be calculated using only net developable acreage. A density

bonus in the following amounts is allowed if either or both of the following

conditions exist:

a. For developments with underground parking that is adequate to meet the

parking requirements of this chapter excluding guest parking, a density bonus

of twenty percent is allowed pursuant to 19.78.030(5)(g); and/or

b. For developments within one-quarter mile (improved walking distance) of a

rail or Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) station, a density bonus of twenty percent is

allowed. For developments within one-half mile (improved walking distance)

of a rail or BRT station, but greater than one-quarter mile, a density bonus of

ten percent is allowed.

2. Maximum Height. For the purpose of this chapter, building height is to be

measured from the lowest point of original grade to the highest ridge.

a. For any PUD adjacent to an R-1, R-2, R-4, A-1, or A-2 zone ("residential

zone"), the maximum height for structures on the perimeter of the PUD

adjoining said zones shall be twenty-eight feet. The maximum height of all

other structures in such a PUD shall be thirty-five feet. PUDs with one

building only, are allowed a rooftop garden or patio provided the rooftop

garden or patio has a minimum setback of seventy-five feet from the property

line. For purposes of this chapter, a structure on the perimeter is defined as

any structure within fifty feet of the property line of the PUD.

1. The height of buildings along the perimeter of a planned unit development

adjoining a residential zone may be increased to the maximum height

allowed in the underlying zone by one foot increments, with each

additional one foot height increment requiring an additional one foot in

setback from the perimeter (see figure 1 below for graphical rendering).

b. The height of structures in all other planned unit developments shall conform

to the otherwise applicable ordinances.

c. At the discretion of the planning commission, height for dwelling structures

along corridors as defined in the general plan and not adjoining a residential

zone, may be increased by an additional five feet to accommodate a density

bonus provided for in this chapter.

d. Notwithstanding the above, the planning commission may at its discretion

reduce or increase the otherwise stated maximum heights if mitigation is

warranted, but only in cases where unusual topographical or other exceptional

conditions or circumstances exist, such as the height of surrounding buildings.

Figure 1. An illustration of height allowance as described in 11.b.1.a. above

when approved by the planning commission, where for every foot increase in

height requires a foot increase in minimum setback. This provision is designed

to soften the impact to adjacent properties while allowing for increases in

height where appropriate.

3. Perimeter Setbacks. Buildings (including covered decks or covered patios, or

decks or patios in excess of eighteen inches above existing grade) located on lots

on the perimeter (excluding the public frontage defined in Chapter 19.78.040 of

the development), shall have not less than a fifteen-foot setback from the

perimeter lot line, and shall have a setback from a right-of-way as prescribed by

the underlying zone and Chapter 19.77. Otherwise, no specific yard, setback, or

lot size requirement is imposed by this chapter. However, the purpose and design

objectives of this chapter must be complied with in the final development plan,

and the planning commission may require specific setbacks within all or a portion

of the development to maintain harmony with the existing character of the

neighborhood.

4. Site Calculations. Specific calculations which address the percentage of open

space, impervious versus pervious surfaces, and site improvements shall be

submitted by the applicant with all project applications.

5. Traffic Circulation. Points of primary vehicular access to the development shall

be designed to provide smooth traffic flow with controlled turning movements

and minimum hazards to vehicular, pedestrian, and bicycle traffic. Adequate

emergency vehicle access shall be provided. Internal circulation systems shall

include pedestrian paths, and may include bicycle paths, preferably separated

from vehicular traffic. Where recreational facilities exist or are planned adjacent

to the proposed development, such pedestrian and bicycle paths shall connect to

these facilities.

6. Privacy. Each development shall provide reasonable visual and acoustical privacy

for dwelling units. Fences, walks, barriers, landscaping, and sound reducing

construction techniques shall be used as appropriate to enhance the privacy of its

occupants, the screening of objectionable views or uses, and the reduction of

noise.

7. Sidewalks. With the exception of forestry zones, as required elements of a

development, interior sidewalks shall be installed to serve the units and connect to

the public street.

8. Utilities. All utilities shall be located underground, except as may be provided for

in state law. Utility equipment shall be screened from view and preferably, not

fronting on a public street.

9. Private outdoor spaces. Each residential unit shall be required to have an outdoor

patio/rear yard space with a minimum of one hundred square feet, or a balcony

with a fifty square foot minimum.

L. Desirable Amenities. Amenities that are identified in the Salt Lake County Recreation

and Open Space Standards Policy shall be installed in accordance with that policy. Where

conflicts exist with this chapter and the Salt Lake County Recreation and Open Space

Standards Policy, requirements identified in this chapter shall supersede.

M. Miscellaneous. Installation of xeriscaping is encouraged as an alternative to excessive

lawn areas or other landscaping treatments that excessively consume water. Low

impact/water retention development techniques are encouraged to manage stormwater

onsite including but not limited to planter boxes, rain gardens, and bioswales in the open

spaces.

Parking areas, service areas, buffers, entrances, exits, yards, courts, landscaping, graphics, and

lighting for both residential and non-residential development shall be designed as integrated

portions of the total development and shall project the residential character.



Public Body: Magna Metro Township Council


Proposal: Amendment to Magna Municipal Code sections 19.69.030 and 19.69.120. A

proposed amendment to Magna Municipal Code creating driveway length

standards and a tiered density requirement for the Neighborhood Land Use

District in the P-C Zone.

Planner: Brian Tucker

Recommendation: Recommend Approval of the Proposed Ordinance

BACKGROUND

At their February 8, 2022, meeting, the Magna Township Council adopted a motion to have the Magna Township Planning Commission “examine and amend the zone density and parking issues”. This motion was made in response to concerns raised by Councilman Barney about the lack of larger residential lots in Magna generally and in the new master planned projects specifically. Councilman Barney also expressed concerns about vehicles parking in a manner that block sidewalks in those new master planned projects, thereby reducing walkability. The proposed ordinance amendment fulfills the Council’s directive that the Planning Commission “examine and amend the zone density and parking issues”.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM

Zone Density: The Planned Community Zone makes use of land use districts or combinations of land use districts in determining what uses will be allowed in a master planned community. The districts include those for: open space; business, research or educational campuses; town centers; villages; and neighborhoods. The neighborhood land use district is designed for “comparatively low-density mixed-use development that emphasizes residential (single and multi-family) use, but also includes office, commercial, public/semi-public, and recreation/open space uses. Neighborhood residential densities are anticipated to range between 4 and 8 units per gross acre.” It is this district that is of interest for discussing the Council’s adopted motion.

File # OAM2022-000543


Page 2 of 3

The issue centers around the idea that are not enough larger residential lots being created where a family can live for decades in the same home. The proponents of this idea have expressed a desire for lots in the 1/3-to-1/4-acre range to be more common in Planned Communities and that a tiered system should be created within the “Neighborhood” land use category. This tiered system would include some number of lots in the 3-4 units per acre density range with others in the 5-7 unit per acre range. When considering this issue, MSD staff notes that it is important to have a good mix of housing types and sizes in a planned community but 1/3-to-1/4-acre lots are more typical of the traditional zoning of the post war era than modern planned communities. The typical home in Magna is located on a lot between 6,000 and 10,000 square feet, densities of 4.3 to 7.2 units per acre. It is estimated that less than 10% of the homes in Magna are on a ¼ acre (10,890 square feet) or larger lot and yet many families have been started and raised in this community and many of these residents are aging in place in the same home where they raised their families. Others have raised their families and then downsized, not wanting to continue to maintain relatively larger yards. There are those in the Magna community, as well as the large Wasatch Front area, who would like to purchase a home to raise their family in but are priced out of the market. Land acquisition costs are a significant component of house prices. These costs are passed on to buyers, with larger lots being more expensive. With these considerations in mind, the Planning Commission recommended that the MSD Staff bring forward a proposed amendment that creates tiers of 4-5 gross acres per acre and 6-8 gross units per acre. Staff have also proposed a minimum portion of the total housing be required in each of the tiers with the remainder being negotiated between the Township Council and the developer. Parking Issues: The discussion about vehicles parking in a way that blocks sidewalks seems to be centered the idea that front setbacks in the master planned projects are not deep enough for today’s longer cars and trucks. The largest projects under construction in Magna, Little Valley Gateway and Gabler’s Grove, have a variety of front setback based primarily on the unit type. These setbacks rarely exceed 20’ and can be as small as 10’. These setbacks are the result of the negotiations that led to the approval of these projects. The P-C code does not have any required setbacks other than what the development agreement states. The PUD ordinance has a focus more geared toward protecting adjoining land uses and does not generally address setbacks from property lines. Planned Communities of both types don’t always have lot lines in the traditional sense. These projects often make use of common areas and building pads rather than lots. It is important to ensure that a community is walkable and that residents are not forced to walk in the street. In discussions with the Planning Commission in March, a number of ideas were presented and discussed including a firm minimum setback, guidelines for setbacks that act as a baseline for negotiations while retaining flexibility, adopting setbacks or guidelines for front facing garages rather than a setback for the entire building and leaning on code and law enforcement to issue citations based on existing codes.


Zone Density: The proposed amendment creates two tiers of density within the “Neighborhood” land use category in the P-C Zone. These tiers are 4-5 units per acre and 6-8 units per acre. The ordinance proposes that there be a mandatory portion of total dwellings in each tier, with the margin being at the


Page 3 of 3

discretion of the developer. The 4-5 units per acre tier would make up no less than 25% of the units and the 6-8 units per acre tier would also make up no less than 25% of the units. The remaining 50% would be negotiated between the Township Council and the developer and could range from 4-8 units per gross acre. Parking Issues: The proposed amendment addresses the setback of a street facing garage, rather than the setback of the building itself. When the required setback is less than 25’, a garage facing a street, alley, sidewalk, path or common driveway must be setback no less than 25’ or no more than 5’. A 25’ foot setback accommodates even the largest non-commercial vehicles and a 5’ setback is too small to park a vehicle, even if that vehicle is sideways. The proposed ordinance requires that either an adequate driveway parking space be provided or that driveway parking be precluded.


Public notice was provided in accordance with Utah Code 10-9a-205. Public notice was mailed to affected entities on May 26, 2022. Notice was also posted on the Utah Public Notice Website at least 10 days prior to the public hearing. No public comment has been received as of writing this report.


The Magna Township Council is the land use authority for zoning ordinance amendments. The Township Council cannot amend the zoning map without first submitting the amendment to the Magna Township Planning Commission for the Planning Commission’s recommendation. The Planning Commission must hold a public hearing and review and recommend an action to the Council. The Council must then hold a public hearing, after which they may adopt, adopt with revisions, or reject the ordinance amendment recommended by the Planning Commission. An ordinance amendment can be approved if it is reasonably debatable that the decision could promote the public welfare. It is not necessary to show that the decision actually promotes the public welfare, or is the best alternative, as long as it is reasonably debatable that the public could benefit from the decision.


On June 19, 2022, the Magna Township Planning Commission recommended that the Magna Township Council approve the proposed ordinance.


Staff recommends that the Magna Township Council Approve the Ordinance as presented. Attachments: 1. Proposed Ordinance

SECTION I. The amendments made here are designated by underlining the new substituted

words. Words being deleted are designated by brackets and interlineations.

SECTION II. Chapter 19.69 of the Magna Metro Township Code of Ordinances is amended as

follows in order to regulate driveway length and density in the Planned Community (P-C) Zone.

19.69.030 Land Use Districts

Each P-C Zone shall establish land uses and development patterns, densities, and standards unique to

that zone. Upon approval, through the process set forth in this chapter, the established land uses and

development patterns and densities shall be established pursuant to the P-C Zone Plan and one or more

development agreements. The P-C Zone may consist of any number or combination of the following

land use districts that shall be identified in the Community Structure Plan as provided in this chapter.

Specific land uses proposed in the P-C Zone may only be established in conformance with provisions of

this chapter.

Neighborhood: This category is designed for comparatively low density mixed use development that

emphasizes residential (single and multi-family) use, but also includes office, commercial, public/semi-

public, and recreation/open space uses. Neighborhood residential densities are anticipated to range

between 4 and 8 units per gross acre, with no less than 25% of the total units in the 4-5 unit per gross

acre range and no less than 25% of the total units 6-8 unit per gross acre range to provide for a variety

of housing sizes and types. The remaining 50% of the proposed units can fall anywhere between the 4-8

unit per gross acre range.

Village: This category is designed for medium density mixed use development that includes residential

(single and multi-family), office, commercial, public/semipublic, and recreation/open space uses,

without a predetermined emphasis on any single use. Village residential densities are anticipated to

range between 9 and 20 units per gross acre.

Town center: This category is designed for high density mixed use development that emphasizes office,

commercial and recreational uses, but also includes residential (single and multi-family), public/semi

public and open space uses. Town center residential densities may exceed 20 units per gross acre.

Business, Research, or Educational Campus: This category is designed to accommodate a campus

dedicated to a mixture of business uses: office, commercial, industrial, recreational, and public/semi

public uses; or to an educational institution, including classrooms, laboratories, offices, housing,

educational facilities of all types and other related uses.

Open Space: Landscaped area, natural area or farmland that is established to provide and preserve

outdoor recreational, agricultural, or other similar uses. In addition to the open space district, areas of

open space may also be provided within the other land use districts as well.

19.69.120 Development Standards

(A) Open Space and Common Areas.

Open Space includes parks, trails, natural area, or farmland, which is established to provide and

Standards established pursuant to the requirements of this Chapter. The following landscaping


1. The applicable Project Specific Standards shall address the landscaping and proper maintenance

of required front, side, and rear yards of lots and private ownership areas in the P-C Zone.

2. All areas of lots and parcels in the P-C Zone not designated for open space, parking, buildings, or

other hard surfacing shall be landscaped and properly maintained. Designated open space shall remain

in a natural condition, cultivated, or landscaped, and properly maintained in accordance with the Project

Specific Standards.

3. All park strips and public right-of-way areas in the P-C Zone shall be landscaped and properly

irrigated and maintained by the applicable property owners in the P-C Zone unless otherwise approved

by the council. All park strip areas shall be installed by the developer and properly maintained by the

applicable owners in the P-C Zone. A plan for funding of on-going maintenance of street landscaping by

the property owners shall be presented for approval by Staff at the time of site plan approval.

(F) Lighting.

Lighting requirements shall be determined and governed by the Project Specific Standards established

pursuant to the requirements of this Chapter.

(G) Other requirements.

The following requirements shall apply in the P-C Zone.

1. All developments shall be graded according to Magna's engineering and building requirements

to provide adequate drainage. Buildings shall be equipped with facilities for the discharge of all roof

drainage onto the subject lot or parcel.

2. The applicable owners shall properly maintain all private areas of individual lots or parcels.

3. The specific requirements of this Section 110 shall be governed by the Project Specific Standards

established pursuant to the requirements of this Chapter and may be modified as the Council deems

appropriate pursuant to the terms of the applicable Project development agreement.

4. All common area improvements including buildings, open space, recreational facilities, roads,

fences, utilities, landscaping, walkways, street lights and signs not specifically dedicated to Magna or

accepted for ownership or maintenance by Magna shall be perpetually maintained by the applicable

owners or their agents through a special taxing district, owners' association with power to assess and

collect fees for maintenance or other assessment and maintenance mechanisms acceptable to the

council. Improvements for which Magna agrees to accept maintenance responsibility shall be reviewed

by the applicable Magna service provider for compliance with adopted standards prior to approval.

5. When the building setback and/or building to line is closer than twenty-five (25) feet from a

street, a sidewalk or path, an alley, or from a common driveway providing primary access and

circulation to other dwelling units, attached and detached garages that face that vehicular access or

pedestrian way shall be located so that the garage entry is a maximum of five (5) feet or a minimum of

twenty-five (25) feet, at the closest point from the street, pedestrian way, alley or driveway.

Fabrica�on to include:New 5.5" diameter side posts.New 25' driveway sign with vintage type capitol le�ering (PLEASANT GREEN CEMETERY)Painted with outdoor alkyd enamel (customer to choose color) Installa�on to include:Transporta�on of forkli� and portable welder for sign installa�on.Moun�ng and grou�ng of new base plates to exis�ng stone pier.Erec�on of new side posts and driveway sign. All above included...........................$2,800.00 Not sure on your preference but if you guys want the sign to be powder coated instead of liquid painted itwould add an addi�onal $900.00 to the total cost. The powder coa�ng visually probably wouldn't lookany different, but it may last a bit longer before repain�ng would be necessary. It's hard to say exactly buti think the difference may be 7-10 years for liquid paint vs 15 years for powder coa�ng but I'm by nomeans a paint expert. I'm sorry about the cost and I'm sure you have s�cker shock but steel is at record high prices right now.Those fellas couldn't have picked a worse �me to knock it over :(

May 31, 2022 Dear Magna Metro Township,

After careful review of the Utah League of Cities and Towns Constitution and bylaws, along with our League Board’s contemplation, we are excited to officially offer full membership to the metro townships of Utah. You’ll find two important documents attached here. We are excited to share with you all we have accomplished for our membership in our 2021-2022 Advocacy, Engagement, and Operations Report. Therein, you will find information about our legislative successes during the session, the scope of our membership engagement throughout the year, and how to enhance your involvement with the League. Our strength lies in our unity, and we are proud of the fact that 99% of Utah’s municipalities are League members.

You’ll also find the invoice for your membership dues in the 2022-2023 year. To improve communication to cities about membership dues, the Board intends in 2022 to change our bylaws, which currently require that dues be adopted at the April Board meeting, to accelerate the dues setting process to earlier in the fiscal year.

Please notify us if your metro township will join the League for 2022-2023 by contacting me at [email protected] as soon as possible. Likewise, please send your dues payment by September 30, 2022.

While League staff has significantly increased our revenue from conference sponsors and exhibitors, membership dues are the primary source to fund our operations and personnel.

The number of bills and year-round commissions and task forces that the Legislature generates is increasing significantly, requiring League analysis, research, engagement, and advocacy. For example, the staffing in the Utah House of Representatives has almost tripled since 2010, the average number of bills we track during the session has doubled since 2010, and the League engages with dozens of state task forces and commissions year-round.

The League expanded our internal legislative staff this year for the first time during that time frame. In 2022, the League hired a Deputy Director and a second Legislative Research Analyst so that we could cover more issues at the capitol and provide support to communities with the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) and the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA). We also strategically partnered with subject matter experts on economic development, taxation, and land use to boost our advocacy and research efforts. The League faces the same challenges as municipalities in recruiting and retaining our dedicated and capable staff.


The League has many major legislative policy challenges ahead related to population growth. Please engage with us as we tackle challenges about housing, land use, economic development, taxes, transportation, public safety, and water. We believe it would be difficult for cities acting alone to equal the effectiveness of our collective lobbying efforts. Please contact Cameron for more information about how to engage in the League at [email protected].

This last spring, we hosted a record number of municipal leaders—more than 500—at our Midyear Conference in St. George along with selling out our sponsor and exhibitor spaces. We know that metro township leaders have attended League trainings and we are excited to have you participate as League members. We look forward to seeing you at the Annual Convention at the Salt Palace in Salt Lake City on October 5-7, and at Legislative Policy Committee meetings or other events. In the meantime, you can contact us anytime to discuss League advocacy, engagement, and operations. Cities work to ensure the quality of life of today and tomorrow’s residents. The strength of the League is within our membership. Join us today!

REPORT20212022UTAH LEAGUE OF CIT IES AND TOWNS

ULCT exists to advocate for you on Capitol Hill—both in Utah and

in DC—and to provide opportunities for you to engage with your city colleagues, learn from

each other and from experts, and lead your communities. During the last year, ULCT:

1. Led proactive legislative efforts, based on ULCT member input, including from our LPC

summer survey, to find consensus on bills related to Utah’s growth.

2. Worked on 164 bills that impacted cities and towns on

issues such as housing, land use, transportation, economic

development, and public safety.

3. Built a broad coalition to support important legislation to classify “Garrity” records as

protected records under the Government Records Access and Management Act

4. Was the first state league in the country to return to in-person conventions.

5. Hosted Elected Officials Essentials trainings for 298 newly elected mayors and councils

6. Coordinated a public campaign with Governor Spencer Cox and local leaders to promote

responsible firework usage which helped reduce the scope of fires.

7. Participated actively in state commissions, such as the Unified Economic Opportunity Commission and the Commission on

Housing Affordability—resulting in key legislation.

To those of you who are new to elected office, welcome and thank you for your willingness to serve! For those of you who are veterans

at City Hall, thank you for your service and leadership. We are excited to support you as you serve your communities. Please engage

with ULCT on policy issues, attend our conferences, and elevate your voice this upcoming year. After all, the strength of the League is

the membership—you!

Sincerely,

Cameron Brady Diehl

Guided by our Policy Prism and Legislative Principles, ULCT works daily to represent the interests of Utah’s cities and

towns. We encourage all League members to connect with their legislators as we

promote policies to enhance and support local government while protecting local

authority.

T H E S T R E N GT H O F T H E L E AG U E I S YO U !Your involvement in ULCT made a huge difference this year. For example, more than 100 ULCT members responded to our survey request about policy issues related to population growth. We shared those results with Governor Cox and leadership in both the State House and Senate. Based on the survey results, we accomplished the primary objectives of ULCT membership and fought off proposals that would have undermined the roles of cities and towns.

We also extend a huge thanks to ULCT President Dawn Ramsey and ULCT 1st Vice President Jeff Silvestrini for dedicating countless hours at the capitol on behalf of all cities and towns this year.

Highlights of ULCT accomplishments during the 2022 legislative session:

�

�

�

This should read: The Love, Listen, Lead Task Force established the policy foundation on public safety issues, which directly resulted in legislation this session to clarify the classification of Garrity records (HB 399).

ULCT involvement with the statewide Unified Economic Opportunity Commission which Governor Cox chairs resulted in economic development legislation (HB 151) that ULCT negotiated and improved.

ULCT involvement with the statewide Commission on Housing Affordability resulted in consensus legislation (HB 462) about housing, land use, and transportation. HB 462 respected the role of cities and towns to plan and zone communities and enhanced the coordination and housing data collection between the state and local governments.

U LC T M E M B E R S U RV E YULCT staff partnered with Wasatch Front Regional Council (WFRC) to develop a membership survey seeking feedback on 44 policy topics relating to land use, housing, transportation, and economic development in the context of Utah’s rapid population growth. The topics were determined to be pertinent to ongoing state policy discussions.

OUTCOMES

COLLABORATION

ULCT’S LEGISLATIVE PRINCIPLES

ULCT worked closely with stakeholders to stop bad legislation, proceed with caution on bills

of concern, and help move forward beneficial legislation. Here are just a few examples.

S TO P P E D BA D L EG I S L AT I O N

ULCT halted legislation that would have negatively impacted local government. This included

legislation that:

� Prohibited local governments from using eminent domain for parks (HB85).

� Required the Office of the Property Rights Ombudsman to review all local government actions, ordinances, and policies for compliance annually (HB 416).

� Micromanaged local budget compilation and reporting (HB239).

AC T E D W I T H CAU T I O N

ULCT noted potentially detrimental legislation to Utah cities and towns and worked closely with

legislators to modify language to reach a satisfactory outcome. This included legislation that:

� Enhanced state incentives for municipalities to allow duplexes, triplexes, and/or external ADUs in single-family zones—rather than preempting local zoning authority—and raised referendum signature thresholds for certain station area plans rather than preempting local authority (HB462).

� Allowed inclusionary zoning ordinances that are incentive-based and found consensus on many technical land use law changes” (HB 303).

� Required most secondary water providers to install meters by 2030 and appropriated $250m to help fund installation (HB242).

H E L P E D G O FO RWA R D

ULCT successfully moved priority legislation to passage. This included legislation that:

� Established Garrity interviews as protected records under GRAMA (HB399).

� Enhanced the Housing and Transit Reinvestment Zone tool and expanded where it may be used (SB 140).

� Appropriated $1m to help small cities with technical planning expertise and $1.65m for local government technical assistance.

F I N A N C E & P E R S O N N E L

ULCT is in solid financial condition thanks to the financial responsibility of the Board of Directors and management. We continue our com-mitment to transparency, compliance, and the implementation of financial best practices. We have increased our revenue from sponsors and exhibitors who partner with us to provide our Midyear Conference and Annual Convention. We have rebuilt our reserves and secured grants from the State of Utah and Inter-

mountain Healthcare to provide training and resources to our members.

Membership dues provide approximately two-thirds of ULCT’s revenue and are the primary source of funding for our personnel and operations. The ULCT membership dues are based on three factors—assessed value of property, sales tax revenues, and population—and each April, the Board of Directors adopts the rates that are applied to the factors. The Board reviews all of the membership

dues to ensure that they are reasonable, structurally sustainable, and provide

us with the resources we need as a small staff to punch above our weight at

the Capitol.

As the Utah State Legislature continues to expand its reach with year-round commissions and countless bills, ULCT is striving to keep pace. For example, the Legislative Research and General Counsel staff has doubled in the last ten years. In response, we hired a deputy director and contracted with several consultants to expand our staff bandwidth. The ULCT Board of Directors also approved a vol-untary one-time assessment to assist cities and towns with the American Res-cue Plan Act (ARPA). 158 cities and towns opted into this program which enabled us to hire an ARPA Specialist.

Our small but dedicated team continues to work tirelessly to serve you so that

you can lead your communities. You can always contact ULCT Executive Director Cameron Diehl or League Board members for more information.
