Douglas Flagler spoke in favor to the moratorium and said homeless services should be spread throughout the City.

Chris Crosswight thanked the Council and Mayor for their support. He said the Rescue Mission’s goals were to help the homeless in SLC, he was opposed to the ordinance as it would not change where the homeless were located, and the moratorium would cause more issues than what currently existed.

Peggy asked the Council to postpone adopting the ordinance as more review was required.

Shawn Clay spoke in opposition to the ordinance and said the homeless community should not be left behind and moved from one undeveloped area to another, the proper services needed to be provided (to help those experiencing homelessness).

Tyler Clancy spoke in support of the ordinance to extend the moratorium; it was not banning the homeless, it was for equity and making sure the collective impact was shared throughout the City, the moratorium would allow those conversations to be had and problems addressed.

Bernie Hart spoke in support of the moratorium which would allow for more discussion and addressing the tough questions; service providers needed to be accountable and provide programs that worked.

Council spoke to:

Comments from the public
Mr. Heart and his work with the unsheltered
It might feel like it was moving fast but many discussions were held and a number of factors were being taken into consideration when making the decision
Homelessness was one of the biggest issues in the country and there needed to be an equitable distribution of homeless services
Everyone needed to do their part to find a solution to the homeless issues in the City
The proposal was to take a pause and properly address the situation to get the best result
The ordinance did not change the housing currently in place, but gave the City a time to review what needed to be done and come up with the best way to achieve it’s goals

Motion:
Moved by Councilmember Valdemoros, seconded by Councilmember Petro-Eschler to close the Public Hearing and adopt Ordinance 15A and 15B of 2022, Amending the Salt Lake City Code Pursuant to Petiotion No. PLNPCM2021-01033, and Approve a Legislative Intent, urging Administration to include in their review process for Parts 2 and 3 of the HRC/Shelter text amendment petition, recommendations to promote geographic equity of HRcs/Shelters by expanding the zoning districts where they are allowed in the City.

Nicholas Hogan spoke to the trend of the large number of apartment buildings being constructed without common or private green space resulting in big boxes with windows, needed to think of the long term look of the buildings as well as require affordable housing in these developments.

George Chapman spoke to the discussion on compensation during the Work Session, the need to increase the entry salaries for police to ensure officers stay employed with the City, free fair February did not work in Salt Lake City as it did not access the homeless shelter areas.
