Citizen Public Input (1:08:40 PM)

Mr. George Chapman spoke under “Citizen Public Input” asking the Council to hold a public hearing in order to reopen Oxbow Jail. He stated the criminal element in the homeless areas is causing problems and the only way to solve these problems is to put criminals in jail. Jail time is a deterrent to criminals.

Mr. Michael Hammond spoke under “Citizen Public Input” regarding Grandeur Park Trailhead. He stated the residents in the area have decided they are in charge of the trailhead and they are going to completely limit access to the trailhead according to hours they wish people to be there. His suggestion would be to open the trailhead no later than 5:00 a.m. Also, the closest parking area would be an elementary school, which is more than a mile away. The question needs to be asked who is really in charge of the trailhead – the neighborhood residents or the County.

Ms. Alexandra Eframo spoke under “Citizen Public Input” commenting on the Salt Lake Tribune article of August 4, 2016, entitled “State audit to probe fire authority.” She stated four officials of the Unified Fire Authority received incentives of $34,000 each. She asked what these individuals did to deserve this bonus. Legal opinions have found the bonuses violated contracts, which prohibited employees from getting paid more than their salaries. These bonuses need to be returned.

Surveyor’s Overview Presentation (1:21:12 PM)

Mr. Reid Demman, County Surveyor, delivered a PowerPoint presentation regarding his office mission and performance measurement, 2016 budget update, 2017 projected budget considerations, 2016 initiatives and accomplishments, and 2017 opportunities and future challenges relating to his office. He stated workload in his office has almost doubled since 2013. Another concern for his office is the unknown impact the newly created metro townships and Millcreek City might have on his resources.

Council Member Newton asked if the Surveyor’s Office was billing the different departments/divisions within the County for services.

Mr. Demman stated a number of the requests have not been billed. The projects have been done under a pilot program in order to see if both offices can work together and prove to each other that it will work. It is a learning curve.

Council Member Newton stated at some point the Surveyor’s Office might get more work than it can do with the number of employees it has. She asked if that was the goal of the Surveyor’s Office.

Mr. Demman stated he has to achieve a balance between the requests, what his office is statutorily required to provide, and what the Council is able to fund. He is also looking to establish a list of consultants that can help if needed.

2 Committee of the Whole Tuesday, August 9, 2016 Council Member Snelgrove asked what the cost per hour was for the unmanned aerial vehicle and pilot to fly it. He asked how much the Surveyor’s Office could bill for this service.

Mr. Demman stated it is approximately $50 an hour. However, he cannot recover any more than the cost to do the work. It will not be a money maker for the County.

Council Member Snelgrove asked if other departments within the County could benefit from this service, such as the Sheriff’s Office.

Mr. Demman stated first responders have different regulations than his office, so it would not work.

Overview of Tax Incremental Financing (1:51:08 PM)

Mr. Stuart Clason, Director, Regional Economic Development, Office of Regional Development, delivered a PowerPoint presentation on the three proposed community development areas. He presented an overview of the Countywide Tax Incremental Financing (TIF), the mechanisms of the proposed projects, terms of each project, and the actions needed from the Council. The Council then discussed each of the following proposed projects:

 3900 South Community Development Area (CDA) (South Salt Lake) . 61 acres . $5.9 million total investment . $1.39 million from County/Library

Terms: . County would contribute 60 percent of its tax increment to the Agency for a 15-year period . County tax increment has a cap ($1,394,689) . County tax increment used solely to pay for public infrastructure and administrative expenses . Benchmarks – increment reduced if: o The total assessed value equal to or greater than 80 percent of projected value o At least 480,000 square feet of industrial flex space constructed . County will receive 1.5 percent administration fee (projected to be $89,865)

Council Member DeBry asked why Granite School District refused to participate in this CDA.

Mr. Randy Sant, Consultant, South Salt Lake City, stated he did not know why the Granite School District refused to participate in this CDA. He was never able to make a formal presentation to the school board. A preliminary presentation was made to staff, who talked to the school board during a closed door meeting. Staff then reported back that the board

3 Committee of the Whole Tuesday, August 9, 2016 was not interested in participating in this CDA. The decision is being challenged. It is his belief the school board did not look at all the facts.

The County is being asked to contribute 60 percent of its tax increment for 15 years instead of the normal 20-year period because it will pay back what the city is asking for in participation in that time period. The developer has already started the project because he had investment money and needed to get going. He will need the increment to pay the loan off.

Council Member Bradshaw asked how it would affect the term of the project if the school board decided to participate.

Mr. Sant stated the 60 percent for the 15 years is based upon everyone participating. It would not change the terms. If the school district did not participate, the developer would have to look at changing his plans. Instead of 480,000 square feet of industrial space, he might decide to construct all homes. That would affect the school district a lot more.

Council Member Bradshaw, seconded by Council Member Newton, moved to set a hearing for Tuesday, August 30, 2016, at 4:00 p.m. to receive public comment regarding the 3900 South CDA (South Salt Lake), to negotiate an interlocal agreement, and to forward this item to the 4:00 p.m. Council meeting for formal consideration. The motion passed unanimously.

 Sandy City Transit-oriented Development (TOD) CDA . 79 Acres . $28.7 million total investment . $7.9 million from County/Library

Terms: . Transit-oriented development . Five percent of County’s tax increment set-aside for affordable housing (projected to be $400,000) . County tax increment has a cap ($8,000,000) . County tax increment used solely to pay for public infrastructure and administrative expenses . Benchmarks – increment reduced if the following are not achieved by tenth year o Total assessed value equal to or greater than 75 percent of projected value o At least 350,000 square feet of Class A office space constructed o 350 stall UTA park-and-ride parking structure constructed . County will receive 5 percent administration fee (projected to be $400,000)

Mr. Nick Dursten, Director, Economic Development, Sandy City, stated this project is located immediately around the 10000 City Center TRAX stop. This represents only a piece of a larger area of 835 acres. The entire area will have additional residential,

4 Committee of the Whole Tuesday, August 9, 2016 employment, recreation, education, and entertainment opportunities. The goal of Sandy City is to be able to move people around the area with its own transit system.

Council Member Newton, seconded by Council Member Bradshaw, moved to set a hearing for Tuesday, August 30, 2016, at 4:00 p.m. to receive public comment regarding the Sandy City (TOD) CDA, to negotiate an interlocal agreement, and to forward this item to the 4:00 p.m. Council meeting for formal consideration. The motion passed unanimously.

− − − − − − − − − − − − − −

 Western Commercial District CDA (Riverton) . 85 acres (689 aces total) . $90.0 million total investment . 419.1 million from County/Library

Terms: . Final five years of County tax increment dedicated to affordable housing set-aside (projected to be $3,629,548) . County tax increment has a cap ($19,102,883) . County tax increment used solely for pay for public infrastructure and County’s administrative expenses . Benchmarks – increment reduced if the following are not achieved by the seventh year: o Total assessed value equal to or greater than 80 percent of projected value o Acreage preserved within the project area for potential County Performing Arts Center and UTA light rail station . County will receive 5 percent administration fee (projected to be $955,144)

Mayor Bill Applegarth, Riverton City, stated he is in total agreement with the terms of this CDA. He is pleased with the 25-year term because of the housing money. Land for the South Valley Performing Arts Center will be set aside within this project at no cost to the County. This land will be available whether or not the County approves this project.

Council Member DeBry, seconded by Council Member Bradley, moved to set a hearing for Tuesday, August 30, 2016, at 4:00 p.m. to receive public comment regarding the Western Commercial District CDA, to negotiate an interlocal agreement, and to forward this item to the 4:00 p.m. Council meeting for formal consideration. The motion passed unanimously. Council Member Granato was absent for the vote.

Update on Pioneer Technology District Economic Development Area (EDA) (City of West Jordan) (2:42:00 PM)

5 Committee of the Whole Tuesday, August 9, 2016 Mr. Stuart Clason, Director, Regional Economic Development, Office of Regional Development, delivered a PowerPoint presentation on the Pioneer Technology District Economic Development Area (EDA). West Jordan City is proposing the following:

 County tax increment financing of 75 percent for buildings 1 & 2; 85 percent for buildings 3 & 4; and 100 percent for buildings 5 & 6  Total tax increment projected to be $218 million  Total tax increment to West Jordan projected to be $184 million  Total tax increment to all taxing entities projected to be $34 million (County projected to receive $8.8 million)  West Jordan requesting $3.6 million administration fee  Tax increment split over 20 years  1,696-acre Project Area, of which Project Discus will require 230 acres  70-130 jobs projected to be created at full build-out  Other potential sources of funding: Governor’s Office of Economic Development Taxing Increment, West Jordan Municipal Energy Tax revenues, West Jordan, and Salt Lake County Incremental Sales Tax Revenues and sales tax exemption

He also reviewed concerns of the Mayor’s Office regarding why the project area was 1,696 acres when Project Discus only requires 230 acres, and whether West Jordan intended to provide incentives to future tenants of the EDA; whether the remaining 1,696 acres would be developed if not for the creation of the EDA; what the anticipated multiplier effect of this data center would be, and how it would compare to other similar projects in the region; whether the project primarily intended to create jobs, and if so, how many jobs would be created; what the average base salary of the jobs would be; what West Jordan’s $3.6 million administration fee would be used for; what the proposed project budget cap was; and what the water requirements are for the entire EDA.

Mr. Adam Long, Legal Counsel, Redevelopment Agency of West Jordan, also delivered a PowerPoint presentation on the Pioneer Technology District Economic Development Area (EDA), speaking to the 232 acres for Project Discus, which will be a large data center developed over 12 years bringing 130 high-paying jobs, be a catalyst for other development, bring additional tax revenue and promote Silicon Slopes. The developer has sufficient capital and immediate needs. He reviewed the advantages and challenges of Project Discus, the project incentives, other development, and tax increment financing. He also stated the EDA was initially approximately 1,650 acres, but will be paired down by 600 acres.

Council Member Newton asked if Project Discus would buy its equipment locally, or if not, what impact that would have on the local economy.

Mr. Mark Palesh, City Manager, West Jordan City, stated the company buys the components and assembles its own equipment in another state; then ships to its sites.

Council Member Newton asked if Project Discus would be using existing energy or creating new renewable energy, and if West Jordan would be paying for the infrastructure, such as broadband.

6 Committee of the Whole Tuesday, August 9, 2016

Mr. Palesh stated the company would be doing all off sites itself.

Council Member Newton stated she spoke to someone on the Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District Board who said the amount of water usage per day would be significantly less than one million gallons.

Mr. Palesh stated West Jordan has to guarantee it can accommodate all six buildings on the hottest day of the year if one of the buildings was on fire, which it determined would be 4.8 billion gallons per day. Jordan Valley Water District wants that amount guaranteed. Project Discus indicated its cooling efficiency has actually increased by 50 percent in a short period of time, and that in the winter, it would use almost no water because of the cold and altitude.

Mayor Kim Rolfe, West Jordan City, stated the company would be using one million gallons per day for normal usage during the summer months, and less in winter months. The additional gallons are in the event of a fire, and that could be built in the storage on site. West Jordan lost a company last year that used 1 million gallons a day, so this will fill the gap of the company it lost.

Council Member Newton asked why there was not a cap or an administrative fee.

Mr. Palesh stated initially, the company said having a cap was a no starter for it. It recently indicated if that was based on some kind of percentage of performance, it would be willing to look at that. Then, there is an administration fee.

Mr. Clason stated there is a $3.6 million administration fee for West Jordan, but no administration fee for the County.

Mr. Palesh stated West Jordan would be administering this. This will be the largest data center in the world, so administering this will be very labor intensive for the city. West Jordan is going to have to hire a full-time building inspector just for this project for the next seven years.

Council Member Newton asked why West Jordan was asking that 1,700 acres be included in the EDA, when the project is only 232 acres.

Mr. Palesh stated the negotiations with Discus started before S.B. 151 was passed, so the city took advantage of including additional acreage to bring in other companies. The Governor asked the city to pare that down, so it took off 40-45 percent. Now, the request is for 1,050 acres.

Council Member Bradley stated it concerned him to set such a large acreage aside. Right now, it is used as agriculture, but that will change regardless. It would be better to have new development come and go through the process transparently. This has not been a transparent process. The citizens of Salt Lake County deserve a good deal. It is their money

7 Committee of the Whole Tuesday, August 9, 2016 being invested, and they have the right to know what is going on. Additionally, the incentives were not buying very many jobs, nor were they high-paying jobs. He asked why Phases 1 and 2 were at 75 percent, and Phases 5 and 6 at 100 percent, rather than the other way around, and asked if that suggested those phases might not materialize.

Mr. Long stated that was to incentivize the company to move.

Council Member DeBry stated this has moved to fast for him, and he needed more time to review it. He would like to see the County and West Jordan come to a reasonable middle, and maybe shrink the EDA, cap the project, and work with the Legislature to address the 10 percent affordable housing component.

Council Member Debry moved to table a decision on the project until next week.

Mr. Palesh stated the 10 percent affordable housing component is a no-starter for the company because it would cost about $15-$17 million. The company and West Jordan see that as a problem that the state perceives.

Council Member DeBry asked if it was a no-starter for the company to have the EDA downsized to 232 acres, and if it was all or nothing for West Jordan.

Mr. Palesh stated not having to do the 10 percent affordable housing puts West Jordan at an advantage over other cities in the state. It does not want to get rid of that advantage. It would allow companies to pick and choose where they want to locate to. Once a company picked an area, West Jordan would come back to the Council.

Council Member Bradley stated this request is not on the agenda for approval; it is on for a discussion.

Council Member DeBry withdrew his motion.

Ms. Theresa Foxley, Utah Governor’s Office of Economic Development (GOED), explained the mission of GOED, the value of economic development, and the benefits of data centers. While data centers are big water users and not high employment centers, there are benefits to them. Companies, such as eBay, Oracle, and EMC, that have partnered with Utah did bring in jobs and transit oriented development, once they got a foothold in the state through their data centers. School districts benefit from data centers because they do not bring in so many jobs that they drain their services. Despite early indications of support from the County’s Office of Regional Development, there now seems to be some tension and discord between the County and West Jordan, which GOED hopes can be resolved.

Ms. Erin Laney, Economic Development Corporation of Utah (EDCU), clarified the difference between water for consumptive use and the process requirement. West Jordan is asking for the full amount that would be needed to fight a fire on the hottest day of the year, but that is not what will be used. She compared two of the company’s data centers in other states showing that water consumption for a 500,000 square foot facility was a little over 90,000

8 Committee of the Whole Tuesday, August 9, 2016 gallons per day, and for a 487,000 facility it was about 49,000 gallons per day. This project at full build-out would be a little over 500,000 square feet. Using these models, she estimated 180,000 gallons per day consumptive use for that facility. This company has also committed to using 100 percent renewable energy and to use all local resources to do so. In fact, a solar energy company is looking at coming to Utah solely to service this company.

Council Member Bradshaw asked what the potential energy use would be.

Mr. Palesh stated the company asked for 180 megawatts for all six buildings, and Rocky Mountain Power felt it could provide that without a problem.

Ms. Laney stated the company believes it has overestimated its actual usage. Based on other facilities of this nature and the company’s desire to become more efficient, the usage would probably not exceed 65 megawatts.

Council Member Bradshaw stated 180 megawatts is quite a bit. He asked if the company did need that amount, if it was contractually obligated to access that through renewable resources.

Mr. Palesh stated he did not know.

Council Member Newton stated besides the amount of revenue this company will generate, there are other benefits because these companies create synergy so others will want to relocate too.

Ms. Laney stated companies in this industry do travel in packs. Two other companies of this caliber are watching this deal, so bringing it in could have a multiplier effect. All of these companies would bring in long-term and permanent jobs, and construction jobs. This company is looking at using a local general contractor for construction, and that would be for at least a 12-year period day over day.

Mayor Ben McAdams stated this came to his attention weeks ago, rather than months and years ago. It was done through an EDA so the County would not have the ability to negotiate the terms.

Ms. Foxley stated GOED has received emails from the County going back to April, and has had oral conversations with the County.

Mayor McAdams stated the notice to create an EDA was given to him on March 31, hours before the new state law requiring 10 percent affordable housing took effect. When he received the initial email, his first response was to try to get to an agreement. However, when his office started getting information about the deal, they became uncomfortable. Some of the terms are alarming. First, the project area is 1,696 acres. When he asked why it was so large, West Jordan admitted it was to avoid the state law requiring 10 percent affordable housing. Last week, West Jordan did offer to come down from 1,696 acres to 1,050 acres. That is the only willingness it has had to change the terms, and that was an empty offer. That still leaves 800 acres of blank check for the taxpayers to pay for a 232-acre project. If West

9 Committee of the Whole Tuesday, August 9, 2016 Jordan wants to have a conversation around the 232 acres and Project Discus, he was willing to have that conversation. He was not willing to support a blank check of tax increment from the County not knowing what it was investing in. During the conversation with West Jordan, it said it was not using the County’s tax increment to incentivize future companies to come into the area. If it is not using those dollars to attract companies, there is no reason for that additional acreage.

Furthermore, West Jordan will have to enter into a contractual agreement with the Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District for 4.8 million gallons of water per day. That is how much it is legally obligated to set aside for potential use. That water cannot be committed elsewhere to future development of any kind. The company says it only needs that amount in the summer, but that is when everyone else needs it too.

He was also concerned about the size of the incentive - $183.9 million in property tax incentives, plus $50 million in energy tax rebates, and several million in sales tax rebates. That amounts to about a $240 million incentive. That would be the largest economic development in County history, and it would only bring in 70-100 jobs. He calculated that to be about $2.4 million per job. He is a supporter of economic development incentives to grow economy and diversify the tax base, but not at any cost.

Additionally, the County does not do incentives without a cap and without a budget knowing where precious tax dollars will go. He heard the company would not agree to move here with the cap, but West Jordan does not have to agree to everything it is asked for. If the requests are too much, it should walk away and the company should go elsewhere. Utah has great momentum. It has built out a tech center with great companies, like Oracle and EMC. It did not need to continue to buy a tech sector. This land will develop, and in a way that will bring a return to the taxpayer without offering an incentive.

The County is being asked to rebate 75 percent of its property tax for Phases 1 and 2, 85 percent for Phases 3 and 4, and 100 percent for Phases 5 and 6. That is an average of 85 percent property tax rebate the County will have to provide, yet the County and West Jordan will still have to provide services to this area. That will cost money, so if all their taxes are rebated, they will have to dilute their services or raise taxes. On behalf of the citizens of West Jordan and Salt Lake County, these entities could do better than what has been negotiated under these terms.

He and his staff still have a number of questions since they just received much of this information. Again, the size of the project area and the blank check the County is being asked to give to the city of West Jordan of taxpayer money is not acceptable. Any negotiations to move forward will have to start with West Jordan’s concession to bring this project area down to 232 acres, and if it is not willing to do that, then he would recommend opposing it.

Mr. David Delquadro, Chief Financial Manager, Council Office, encouraged the Council to obtain written answers to questions so it has a paper trail and so he can share that with other members of the taxing entity committee, and an agreement by the client to use local materials and laborers for the energy. In the past, the Council has always looked to the school districts to see how they view a project, since they have the most skin in the game, and to the

10 Committee of the Whole Tuesday, August 9, 2016 County Mayor so the Council and Mayor can speak with one voice. With this project, the school district and Mayor are in contradiction. This project would provide the school district with little increased demand for classrooms and teachers, but more revenue. He thought it made sense to apply the EDA concept to the 232 acres, and negotiate a CDA for everything around it. That would be fair to the County; however, West Jordan said it did not want to do that.

Council Member Snelgrove stated he concurred with Mayor McAdams comments. He was in favor of economic development, but not at any cost. Economic development at any cost would impact water, clean air, transit options, and education. It is not worth it. Developable land will be coming online when the prison moves. That is a lot of inventory for commercial, industrial, and high tech development. He wondered if the two sites would be competing against one another. He also asked if this project was not for Facebook, if the same deal would be extended to a different company, or if the city was just starstruck because it is Facebook. This project needs to be evaluated in terms of dollars and cents regardless of who the player is. This is a $240 million piece of corporate welfare using taxpayer dollars. It is not fair to the people of Salt Lake County. There is little, if any economic multiplier. This was not something he could support.

Council Member Bradley stated Salt Lake County has had a vigorous sustained economy for quite a while, and did not need to sell itself short. The key is how much incentive the economic development was worth. If the $185-$240 million for the creation of 120 jobs at about $65,000 were given to the citizens, it would take 23 years to get back into the economy. That would be a better multiplier. It is dubious whether this is a good deal for the people of Salt Lake County. He asked for a comparison of a data center’s water usage that is located in an arid temperate like Salt Lake County. Then, he wanted to know what the renewable energy consumption would be because if Rocky Mountain is supplying all of its renewable energy to this company, everyone else would have to rely on coal or some other type of energy.

Council Member DeBry stated if West Jordan is not willing to come down to the 232 acres, he wanted to know what would be done with the other 807 acres. There also needed to be a cap on the project. The County has never had an open-ended cap. The way this project is laid out, it is not good government.

Mayor Rolfe stated during a meeting at the Governor’s Office last week, Mayor McAdams said he would not be in favor of this project even if West Jordan came down to the 232 acres, so he asked why West Jordan should give up the 10 percent it would have to use for affordable housing on the rest of the land. He went to that meeting ready to negotiate, but did not get any assurances. He also claimed the County’s staff has been kept informed of the project. They have been in negotiations since last November. The County’s staff set the 75 percent rate.

Mayor McAdams stated he was aware of every conversation his staff has had, and they did not receive information they requested about the project until two weeks ago.

Council Member DeBry stated he just heard Mayor McAdams state he would be willing to start negotiations on the 232 acres. He wanted to know if West Jordan was willing to do that. He would like to come to a happy medium.

Mayor McAdams stated West Jordan was asked in the meeting with the Governor if it would start negotiations at 232 acres and the city officials said, “no,” the city would not go below 1,050 acres. Salt Lake County would be happy to start negotiations at the 232 acres recognizing that no blank check was acceptable to it.

Mayor Rolfe asked if the County would commit to that.

Mayor McAdams stated he was not agreeing that was all the County would need; it had other concerns as well.

Council Member Newton stated she did not see this as a blank check because any other projects would still have to go through the same process, but she did have concerns with the acreage. She understood this company would bring with it other companies, and asked what the potential number of jobs could be.

Ms. Foxley stated GOED has seen a significant amount of follow on investment and a great clustering effect or ecosystem building as anciliary benefits of other data center projects. That is not a guarantee here. However, having some brands in the state has helped put Utah on the map.
