Happy New Year to all of you.

Our first meeting in 2012 is Thursday, January 26.  By popular demand, Jill Love, our City Council Representative will be with us for about 30 minutes.  There is an amazing amount happening in the City and Jill wants to hear our feedback as well as explain what some of this ”tonnage” is all about.

NEW MEETING LOCATION   NEW MEETING LOCATION   NEW MEETING LOCATION

Late last year Realms of Inquiry was sold to a church group.  We have been unable to reach them to discuss continuing our meetings there, but in the process of looking for a new place, the Tracy Aviary has offered their “Education Room” as a permanent home.  We still feel the Aviary is walkable for most, especially when the weather warms and the days are longer.  The meeting location is in the brand new Visitors Center building just opened.  There are instructions on the agenda as to how to access the parking, and there will be signs there.  We are so grateful to the Aviary, plus it is a great time to see what has been done there.

Lastly, the ELPCO Board has begun discussions with our neighbors in East and West Emerson, Gilmer Park and Historic Gilmer Park about the possibility of creating a larger community council.  We have invited the residents of these areas to attend our meeting (actually, any resident of planet earth is free to join us!) and will have a brief discussion about what benefits there might be and what if any drawbacks may exist.  The overall geography is roughly boundaried by 800 South, 1700 South, 700 East and 1300 East.  This area has similar zoning, architecture, etc. but contains all of the diversity of ELPCO as it currently exists.

We hope to see all of you this Thursday.

Salt Lake City Unveils New Phone App PDF Print E-mail

Mayor Ralph Becker and the Salt Lake City Department of Community and Economic Development are pleased to announce the unveiling of the City’s new mobile phone app, Salt Lake 311.

 

The new tool, currently available free of charge here, allows members of the public to take an active role in their neighborhoods by requesting services from, or reporting issues to, Salt Lake City government. Initial features will allow requests for weed abatement, reporting of inoperable vehicles, construction without permits and illegal signs while expanded service request options are already in the works.

 

The fast, easy-to-use program walks the user through an anonymous process that requires simply choosing the type of request or complaint, verifying the address and shooting a photo of the issue. On completion, the user also gets a tracking code that allows verification of resolution.

 

The program, which only accepts notices on properties/incidents within City limits, integrates seamlessly with automation systems that have been in use by various departments. Salt Lake City 311 will streamline current processes, leading to easier resident access to services, reduced response times, fewer administrative tasks and overall cost savings for the City and its taxpayers.

 

“The Accela software used by Building Services and Licensing has a proven track record in optimizing how we provide services while also greening the process with new, paperless automation,” Mayor Becker said. “We look forward to Salt Lake 311 making the communication between our residents and City government even easier.”

Landlord Tenant Program PDF Print E-mail

We have been asked to help notify everyone that Salt Lake City is implementing a Landlord Tenant Program that goes into effect September 1.

This new ordinance applies to  all single and double family houses that are being used as a rental units. If you have a mother in law apartment, duplex, and so forth, this ordinance and program applies to you.

The web site for this program is: http://www.slcgov.com/landlord/

Also, we have been asked to distribute the following telephone numbers to call:

The Utah Apartment Association (training) can be reached at 801.487.5619
Questions about the new ordinance (Salt Lake City Corp) call 801.535.6644
Property enforcement to report illegal units can be reached at 801.535.7225

We hope you will take the time to read carefully about this program, as it represents an entirely different approach with completely different requirements.

Please see the letter from the City in the attachment.
