6:35 Police Report Detective Josh Smith, [email protected], 801-799-3112 Crime Stats www.slcpd.com/community/crime-map vs Crime Stats

Crime statistics for Yalecrest were presented for months December 2015-January 2016. Crime in our neighborhood is primarily associated with opportunity; idling cars, cars parked on public streets, open doors, windows, garages. Comparison of crimes among the City Council Districts 1-7 show that District 6 is the lowest of all Districts. Crimes include theft (12), Breaking and Entering (5), theft of vehicle (1), drugs, alcohol disorder (11), property crime (3), vehicle theft (1) for a total of 33 crimes report over the Dec 1, 2015 - January 30, 2106

Remember SLC has an “idle free” ordinance, so don’t leave your car running more than 2 minutes in the public ways.

Detective Smith discussed the new “Neighborhood Beat” program instituted by the New Police Chief Mike Brown. Approximately 18 new police officers are currently being trained and will be assigned to specific neighborhoods, which will provide better local surveillance and public relationships.

Question: what’s the difference between theft, breaking and entering and property damage? Answer: theft of a house of car is generally not associated with a destructive entry, breaking and entering can be associated with destructive and nondestructive entry while property damage is associated with damage to personal property.

6:40 Fire Department: Not present

6:40 Charlie Luke, City Councilman, District 6 ([email protected]) City Council Priorities for 2016 1. Street, gutter and sidewalk repair. These infrastructure items are 115 yrs old in many parts of SLC and is great need of repair/replacement. City Council is looking for funding to do so. 2. Economic development. Salt Lake City needs an identity tag, like “Silicon slopes” for Alpine and Lehi area, Outdoors like Ogden, Logan areas” What is SLC?. Send your suggestions for an identity tag to the Mayor Jackie Biskupski mayor@slcgov .com or call 801.535.7704 a. Mass Transit: defeat of Proposition 1 in SLC reflects unhappiness with UTA service by public; lack of bus routes, frequency of bus routes with majority of funds going to rail projects. But lack of interconnectivity between high speed rail and rest of urban centers is problematic and therefore not as user friendly. Additions Issues: lack of UTA accounting oversight by cities and towns providing the sale tax funds for public desired modes of mass transit. Transportation Master Plan for Salt Lake City and University of Utah will be available by end of year.

b. Air Quality must be improved if SLC is to attract businesses

3. Homeless a. Recent study reveals that the best solution to extensive homeless problem in SLC will be to house women and children from single men throughout Salt Lake County. Midvale Mayor has offered housing solutions for some identified populations of homeless. b. Transportation of homeless for health care, job services, schools for children etc will either be consolidated or separated throughout valley as necessary c. Redevelopment of current Pioneer Park area with mixed use high density apartments/condos will be considered along with business development of the area.

An LHD application typically requires about 1 year to complete the City process. Ballots will be sent to property owners in Two Yalecrest LHD applications in February and March 2016 and are endangered of being retroactively negated.
