South Salt Lake On The Move City Newsletter Arguments in favor by South Salt Lake Resident. In early 205, the City of South Salt Lake resident input created a master plan for parks and open space in the City. As a result of this master plan process a group of engaged citizens approached the City Council seeking support for more parks, open space, and recreation facilities in the City. In response, the City Council approved a ballot proposition for the upcoming 3 November 205 general election. Registered voters of South Salt Lake will have an opportunity to approve a general obligation bond supporting parks, open space, trails, and recreation facilities. Parks and recreation facilities provide a place for exercise and education, and attract people who increasingly value walkable high-quality neighborhoods. The City of South Salt Lake is lagging far behind neighboring cities and indeed, even further behind national averages in the amount of park space. With limited land available to create new parks, open space, trails, and recreation facilities, the proposed bond would create more open space, and ensure that parks are created before development eliminates these opportunities. The citizen-initiated ballot proposition is a forward thinking investment in our community, our neighbors, our youth, and our future. A YES vote to Create and Protect Parks, Open Space, Trails, and Recreation will: Improve resident access to parks, outdoor recreation, trails and open spaces Revitalize and connect our neighborhoods Protect lands that might otherwise be slated for development Foster close-to-home recreation proven health benefits Facilitate more health and education programs for youth and seniors Attract private investment and economic development Increase our quality of life and add beauty to our city South Salt Lake City leverages limited dollars to provide a variety of parks and facilities that support recreation and sports, after-school youth programs, senior and active-adult activities, and arts programming. Funds from this bond will pay for more and better parks and facilities. The City will rely on solid accountability measures: Money has the potential to be matched grants from Salt Lake County s Zoo Arts and Parks bond Projects funded will be guided by the South Salt Lake City Parks, Open Space, Trails, and Community Centers Master Plan, adopted this year citizen input A citizen committee will be established and tasked making recommendations for how to spend the funds, and will be responsible for an open application process and outreach meetings Revenues and expenditures are subject to an annual, independent audit available for public review A YES vote to Create and Protect Parks, Open Space, Trails, and Recreation will revitalize our neighborhoods, spur economic development and investment, support public health and well-being; support fitness and recreation; enhance learning, the arts, and education; and make our community more beautiful. The measure creates opportunities to receive matching grants and donations, and will help us accomplish a number of priorities in our adopted master plan. Rebuttal to the Arguments in Favor, by Robert LeMone, South Salt Lake resident. South Salt Lake City will experience a multi-million dollar sales tax shortfall in 206, because of changes made in the state legislature. If this bond passes you will experience one property tax increase for the bond and another one next year for the sales tax shortfall. How does being the highest taxed city in the state attract private investment? When we ask a business to move to our city what do you think they will say? The city says they are leveraging our tax dollars. In other words they are obtaining loans based on the taxes we pay to increase city debt. The bond proposed has not named any specific property they want to buy this borrowed money. They are asking you for 3 million dollars to go shopping. Salt Lake City realized the time was not right for this type of bond and dropped it from their ballot. Why does the pro statement of facts by the city not tell you how much the bond is for and how much it will raise your property taxes? Those are pretty important facts to leave out. If this bond proposal has had resident input how many of you are hearing about it for the first time in this newsletter? Has anyone in the city asked you how you feel about this bond and the resulting tax increases? A "NO" vote will help to ensure the financial future of our city. Notice of Public Hearing City of South Salt Lake, Utah Public Notice is hereby given that on Wednesday, 2 August 205, the City Council (the City Council ) of the city of South Salt Lake, Utah (the City ) adopted a resolution (the Resolution ), providing for a special bond election to be held in the City on Tuesday, 3 November 205, at the same time as the municipal general election, for the purpose of submitting to the qualified electors of the City the question of the issuance of general obligation bonds in an amount not to exceed $3,000,000 (the Ballot Proposition ) for the purpose of acquiring, improving or extending parks, open space, trails and recreational facilities and related facilities and calling a public hearing to allow the public to present arguments and testimony in favor of and against the Ballot Proposition, pursuant to the Section 59--605 of the Utah Code Annotated 953, as amended. After the City Council s 2 August 205 action, arguments in favor of and arguments in opposition to the ballot proposition were received by the City Recorder from registered voters of the City. Arguments in opposition, by Robert LeMone, South Salt Lake City resident. My wife and I have lived in South Salt Lake city for over 25 years and have enjoyed the parks and amenities the city has offered. Since the great recession wages have remained at a stagnant state while many of our costs keep rising. There is one bill that never stops rising and that's our yearly November 30th property tax bill. The Utah Taxpayers Association has recently named South Salt Lake City as the highest taxed city in the state. Our city is now asking us to approve a 3 million dollar bond for the expansion of parks, trails and green spaces. The city wants to obtain a 3 million dollar loan on the equity of your homes for the next 20 to 30 years resulting in a property tax increase. Our city has a population of 24,700 and owns and operates 9 city parks and 0 neighborhood centers. The annual household income in our city is $36,229. The average for the state of Utah is $59,770. The per capita income for our city is $7,37. Thirty percent of our residents live in poverty. Our city leaders should be concentrating on improving these statistics before telling us how much oxygen a tree produces. The purpose of this bond is unclear. It was rushed through the city council by a small special interest group. The city has told us that there will be more public input after the bond passes. In other words, let s get this bond passed and then we can decide on how to spend the money. Isn't this putting the cart before the horse? This bond has no clear objective. It is a blank check that the city will use to buy whatever private property it deems necessary. As long as the property has green on it. Some say the money will be used to buy the old Granite high school. But the city has told us this is not another Granite bond because Garbett Homes has the Granite property under contract the Granite school district to build single family homes on the property. How can the city legally interfere this sale? The bond is called a "Parks, Open Space, Trails and Recreation bond". The city should not be involved in constructing public nature trails behind the backyards of our neighborhoods. This is an overreach and an invasion of the homeowners privacy rights. Will this money be obtained under a vague general purpose pretense and then be used for something else? Is this a smoke and mirrors bond? Whether you own or rent your monthly bill will increase. This bond will encumber every property owner in the city for years to come. It can be a scary experience to retire and not know if you can afford to stay in your home because of the constantly increasing property taxes. Vote NO on the Parks Bond. It Might Not Be What You Think It Is. Rebuttal to the Arguments in Opposition, by South Salt Lake resident. Opponents to this bond argue how much it costs. A better question to ask is, Why aren t we investing more? The facts show that parks reduce crime, improve health, stabilize neighborhoods, and attract homeowners. They pay for themselves and reduce City costs elsewhere. Less than 3% of our city budget is spent on parks. It is not surprising we have much less park space than our neighbors. There is ample evidence that our city is fiscally conservative and in excellent financial condition. The Utah Taxpayer Association report made inaccurate comparisons and the projected 206 City budget can be balanced out resorting to tax increases or service cuts. Don t believe these scare tactics. We have a clear purpose and a transparent process for spending the funds. The Master Plan outlines specific projects that were identified significant citizen input. All projects must have community support. There is no trail proposed on Millcreek between 500-ast because the neighborhood did not support it. There are no plans to purchase Granite High unless the school district or potential developer chooses to offer a portion of the property for purchase. This bond cannot be spent on buildings. These concerns have been heard and respected in the plan. The City Council intends to involve citizens to ensure that residents call the shots on how their hard-earned money is spent. Read the plan, get the facts, and show you care. If we, the citizens, don t fight for a better city and neighborhood, who will? The City will hold a public hearing during its regular City Council meeting that begins at approximately 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, 28 October 205. The public hearing will be held at the regular meeting place of the City Council of the City in the City Council Chambers, 220 East Morris Avenue, in South Salt Lake, Utah. All members of the public are invited to attend and participate in the public hearing. Prior to the public hearing, written comments may be submitted to the City, to the attention of the City Recorder s Office, 220 East Morris Avenue, South Salt Lake, Utah 845.

Como resultado del proceso del plan maestro, un grupo de ciudadanos interesados se dirigieron al Consejo de la Ciudad buscando apoyo para mas parques, areas de aire libre, y centros comunitarios en la Ciudad. En respuesta, el Consejo de la Ciudad aprobó una propuesta para votación en las elecciones generales futuras del 3 de Noviembre del año 205. Los votantes inscritos de South Salt Lake tendrán la oportunidad de aprobar un bono de obligación general en apoyo a los parques, areas al aire libre, senderos, y centros de recreación. Los parques y centros de recreación proporcionan un lugar para ejercicio y educación, y atraen a personas quienes mas y mas valoran las comunidades seguras y de alta-calidad. La Ciudad de South Salt Lake se ha quedado muy por detrás de otras ciudades cercanas - y de hecho, aun mas atrás de los promedios nacionales - en cuanto a la cantidad de espacio para parques. Con cantidades de tierra limitadas y disponibles para crear parques nuevos, areas al aire libre, senderos, y centros de recreación, el bono propuesto crearía mas areas al aire libre, y aseguraría que los parques sean creados antes de que el acondicionamiento de tierras elimine esas oportunidades. La propuesta de votación iniciada por los ciudadanos es una inversion con vista hacia el futuro en nuestra comunidad, en nuestros vecindarios, en nuestra juventud, y en nuestro futuro. Un voto A FAVOR para Crear y Proteger Parques, Areas de Aire Libre, Senderos, y Recreación traerá: Mejoras al acceso de los residentes hacia los parques, recreación al aire libre, senderos y espacios libres Revitalización y union en nuestros vecindarios Protección de tierra que de otra forma seria designada para el acondicionamiento de tierras Fomentación a la recreación cerca de casa con beneficios de salud comprobados Facilidad en el aumento de programas de salud y educación para jóvenes y ancianos Atracción para inversionistas privados y desarrollo en la economía Aumento en nuestra calidad de vida y agregara belleza a nuestra ciudad La Ciudad de South Salt Lake apalanca fondos de dinero limitado para proporcionar una variedad de parques y centros que apoyan la recreación y deportes, programas para jóvenes después de la escuela, actividades para ancianos y adultos activos, y programas de las artes. Los fondos de este bono pagaran para la creación y mejoramiento de parques y centros. La Ciudad se basara en medidas firmes de responsabilidad: El dinero tiene el potencial de ser igualado con concesiones del bono del Condado de Salt Lake para Zoológico, Artes y Parques El proyecto al que se le proporcionen fondos se guiará por El Plan Maestro de parques, areas al aire libre, Senderos y Centros Comunitarios de la Ciudad de South Salt Lake, adoptado este año con las opiniones de los ciudadanos. Se establecerá un comité de ciudadanos encargados con la tarea de hacer recomendaciones en como usar los fondos, y sera responsable del proceso de solicitudes abiertas al publico y de reuniones de alcance exterior. Las ganancias y los gastos están sujetos a una auditoria independiente anual disponible al publico para revision. Un voto A FAVOR para Crear y Proteger los Parques, Areas al Aire Libre, Senderos y Centros de Recreación revitalizara nuestros vecindarios, aumentara el desarrollo económico y de inversion, apoyara a la salud publica y el bienestar; apoyara el estar físicamente en forma y la recreación; realzara el aprendizaje, las artes, y la educación; y hará a nuestra comunidad mas hermosa. La medida crea oportunidades para recibir concesiones equivalentes y donaciones, y nos ayudara a cumplir con un numero de prioridades en nuestro plan maestro adoptado. Refutación a los Argumentos por Robert LeMone, residente de Ciudad de South Salt Lake. La ciudad de South Salt Lake enfrentara un deficit en dólares multimillonario en los impuestos de ventas en el 206, debido a los cambios hechos en la legislatura estatal. Si pasa este bono enfrentaremos un incremento en impuesto de propiedad para el bono y otro el año entrante para cubrir el deficit de los impuestos de ventas. Como es que el ser la ciudad con los impuestos mas altos en todo el estado atrae a los inversionistas privados? Cuando le pedimos a alguna empresa que que mude a nuestra ciudad, que piensan que dirá? La ciudad dice que están apalancando nuestros dinero que pagamos en impuestos. En otras palabras están obteniendo prestamos basados en los impuestos que pagamos para incrementar la deuda municipal. Notificación de Audiencia Publica Cuidad de South Salt Lake, Utah SE NOTIFICA AL PUBLICO POR MEDIO DE LA PRESENTE que el Miércoles, 2 de Agosto del año 205, el Consejo de la Ciudad de la ciudad de South Salt Lake, Utah (la Ciudad ) adopto una resolución (la Resolución ), concediendo la celebración de una elección de bono especial que se llevara a cabo en la Cuidad, el Martes 3 de Noviembre del año 205, a la misma vez que la elección municipal general, con el propósito de presentar ante los electores calificados de la Ciudad la pregunta de expedir bonos de obligación general en una cantidad de capital principal que no exceda a los $3,000,000 (la Propuesta de Votación ) con el propósito de adquirir, mejorar o ampliar los parques, areas al aire libre, senderos y centros de recreación y centros similares y proveyendo una audiencia al publico para permitirles presentar argumentos y testimonios a favor y en contra de la Propuesta de Votación, en cumplimiento a la Sección 59--605 del Código Acotado de Utah 953, según ha sido enmendada. Después de la acción tomada por el Consejo de la Ciudad el 2 de Agosto del año 205, argumentos a favor y argumentos en oposición a la propuesta de votación fueron recibidos por el Registrador de la Ciudad provenientes de los votantes inscritos. El bono que se propone no ha mencionado ninguna propiedad especifica que se desee comprar con este dinero prestado. Nos están pidiendo 3 millones de dólares para irse de compras. La Ciudad de Salt Lake se percato de que el momento no era el correcto para este tipo de bono y lo retiro de su votación. Porque es que la declaración de hechos pro activa por la ciudad no menciona por cuanto es el bono y cuanto es lo que elevara nuestros impuestos de propiedad? Estos son hechos bastante importantes como para dejarlos fuera. Si es que esta propuesta de bono ha tenido opiniones de los residentes, cuantos de ustedes la están escuchando por primera vez en esta carta informativa? Alguien de la ciudad les ha preguntado que piensan de este bono y de los incrementos en impuestos resultantes? Un voto de NO ayudara a asegurar el futuro económico de nuestra ciudad. Argumentos en oposición por Robert LeMone, residente de Ciudad de South Salt Lake. Mi esposa y yo hemos vivido en la Ciudad de South Salt Lake por mas de 25 años y hemos disfrutado de los parques y areas de recreación que la ciudad ha ofrecido. Desde la gran recesión económica los salarios han permanecido a un nivel estancado mientras que muchos de nuestros gastos siguen en aumento. Existe un proyecto de ley que nunca deja de aumentar y es nuestro proyecto de ley anual del 30 de Noviembre en los impuestos a la propiedad. La Asociación de Pagadores de Impuestos de Utah ha nombrado recientemente a la Ciudad de South Salt Lake como la ciudad con los impuestos mas altos en el estado. Nuestra ciudad ahora nos pide que apoyemos un bono de 3 millones de dólares para la expansión de parques, senderos y areas verdes. La ciudad quiere obtener un préstamo de 3 millones de dólares respaldado en el valor neto de nuestras propiedades por los próximos 20 a 30 años resultando en un incremento de los impuestos a la propiedad. Nuestra ciudad tiene una población de 24,700 y es dueña y controla las operaciones de 9 parques urbanos y 0 centros comunitarios. El ingreso anual por unidad familiar en nuestra ciudad es de $36,229. El promedio en el Estado de Utah es de $59,770. El ingreso por cabeza en nuestra ciudad es de $7,37. 30 por ciento de nuestros residentes viven en la pobreza. Nuestros líderes locales deberían concentrarse en mejoras estas estadísticas antes de decirnos cuanto oxigeno produce un árbol. El propósito de este bono no esta claro. Fue presentado de manera apresurada ante el consejo de la ciudad por parte de un pequeño grupo con intereses especiales. La ciudad nos ha dicho que habra mas opiniones del publico después que pase el bono. En otras palabras, hagamos que pase este bono y después nos ocupamos en decidir como gastar el dinero. No es esto acaso igual que empezar la casa por el tejado? Este bono no tiene un objetivo claro. Es un cheque en blanco que la ciudad usara para comprar cualquier propiedad privada que le parezca necesaria. Siempre y cuando esta propiedad tenga verde en ella. Algunos dicen que el dinero sera usado para comprar la antigua escuela superior Granite. Pero la ciudad nos ha dicho que este no es otro bono Granite porque Garbett Homes tiene ya la propiedad Granite bajo contrato con el distrito escolar de Granite para construir hogares unifamiliares en esa propiedad.?como podría la ciudad interferir legalmente con esta venta? El bono se llama un Bono para Parques, Areas al Aire Libre, Senderos y Recreación La ciudad no debería estar involucrada en la construcción de senderos públicos naturales detrás de los patios de nuestros vecindarios. Este es un rebase y una invasion a los derechos de privacidad de los dueños de casa.?sera este dinero obtenido bajo un pretexto de propósitos generales imprecisos y luego usado para otra cosa??es este un bono de humo y espejismos? Ya sea que seas dueño o rentes, tu pago mensual aumentara. Este bono estorbara a cada dueño de propiedad en la ciudad por una cantidad de años. Puede ser una experiencia espeluznante el jubilarse y no saber si uno puede quedarse en su casa por causa de los aumentos continuos de impuestos propietarios. Vote EN CONTRA del Bono de Parques. Puede Que No Sea Lo Que Usted Piensa. Después de que estos argumentos fueron recibidos, se les dio a los autores de tales argumentos la oportunidad de someter argumentos de refutación ante el Registrador de la Ciudad. Los siguientes argumentos de refutación fueron recibidos. continúa en la página 5

South Salt Lake On The Move City Newsletter Refutación a los Argumentos en Oposición por residente de Ciudad de South Salt Lake. Los que se oponen a este bono, alegan lo mucho que cuesta. Una pregunta mejor seria Porque no estamos invirtiendo mas? Los hechos demuestran que los parques reducen la delincuencia, mejoran la salud, estabilizan los vecindarios y atraen a dueños de propiedades. Se pagan por si solos y reducen los gastos de la Ciudad en otras areas. Menos del 3% de nuestro presupuesto en la ciudad se gasta en los parques. No es de sorprenderse que tengamos mucho menos espacio de parques que nuestros vecinos. Existe amplia evidencia de que nuestra ciudad es conservativa físicamente y esta en una condición económica excelente. El informe de La Asociación de Pagadores de Impuestos de Utah hizo comparaciones incorrectas y el presupuesto proyectado de la Ciudad para el 206 puede ser balanceado sin necesidad de incrementar los impuestos o acortar servicios. No crean en estas tácticas para amedrentar. Contamos con un propósito claro y un proceso transparente para el uso de los fondos. El Plan Maestro recalca proyectos específicos que fueron identificados con opiniones significativas de parte de los ciudadanos. Todos los proyectos deben tener apoyo de la comunidad. No hay un sendero propuesto en Millcreek entre la 500-ast porque el vecindario no lo apoyo. No hay planes para comprar Granite High a menos que el distrito escolar o algún posible urbanizador de tierras decida ofrecer una porción de la propiedad a la venta. Este bono no puede ser utilizado en la compra de edificios. Estas preocupaciónes han sido escuchadas y respetadas en el plan. El Consejo de la Ciudad desea involucrar a los ciudadanos para asegurase de que los residentes sean los que decidan como es utilizado su dinero que tanto les cuesta ganar. Lean el plan, sepan las realidades, y demuestren que les importa. Si nosotros, los ciudadanos, no luchamos por una mejor ciudad y vecindario, quien lo hará entonces? La Ciudad celebrara una reunion al publico durante la junta habitual del Consejo de la Ciudad que empieza a aproximadamente las 7:30 p.m. el Miércoles, 28 de Octubre del año 205. La reunion al publico sera celebrada en el lugar habitual de juntas para el Consejo de la Ciudad en la Camara de Consejo de la Ciudad, 220 Este Morris Avenue, en South Salt Lake, Utah. Todos los miembros del publico están invitados a asistir y participar en la reunion al publico. Antes de la reunion al publico, se pueden someter comentarios por escrito ante la Ciudad, dirigidos a la Oficina del(la) Registrador, 220 East Morris Avenue, South Salt Lake, Utah 845. Por: Craig Burton, Registrador Design Award Winner - Head Start At Central Park South Salt Lake needed an early learning center, and Salt Lake Head Start answered the need four new preschool classrooms, and a commercial kitchen that prepares breakfast, lunch and snacks for the community, complete a summer meal program for families. The facility also hosts Sauté, a culinary training and career assistance program for adults. The Head Start facility located at 2825 South 200 East, includes four classrooms, a community room, and a state-of-the-art central kitchen. From the facility, over 4,000 meals per day are sent across the valley to preschools, senior centers, and to events including the City of South Salt Lake State of the City Luncheon. The project was guided by the vision and determination of Erin Trenbeath-Murray, Salt Lake CAP chief executive officer and Salt Lake Head Start Director. Head Start is a beautiful addition to the Central Park campus next door to the community center and adjacent to South Salt Lake City s Central Park. The new building, designed by MHTN Architects, is full of light, color, and, best of all, happy children. Mayor Cherie Wood designated this project for a Design Excellence award as an ideal public building. South Salt Lake City Council adopted a Parks, Trails, Open Space and Community Centers Master Plan this June. The Council discussed the plan and ballot language at the City Council Meeting on July 22 and voted on August 2 to let the citizens elect whether or not to raise their property tax for parks. The ballot will ask South Salt Lake City voters if they wish to fund a bond to purchase, expand, and improve parks and open space. The $3 million bond could be spent on projects throughout the city, guided by both the Master Plan, as well as by a citizen committee and public input after the election. By law, the bond money can only be spent on parks/open space land and improvements and does not include community center buildings. YOUR city, YOUR parks!
