Salt Lake Solutions

Mayor Ralph Becker, a PCI Board member, initiated the Salt Lake Solutions program during his first term. Salt Lake Solutions follows PCI's Public Solutions System and is modeled after Oregon Solutions.
Salt Lake Solutions' Community Objectives will direct the selection of projects. The Objectives address issues such as environmental stewardship, schools, housing, transportation, and walkable commercial centers. Projects will be assessed by the Mayor's office to ensure they meet the Community Objectives. The Steering Committee will rally resources for community projects that otherwise would not be achieved without the integration of public and private support.
The Mayor has already designated the first project, to determine the best community use of a historical property along the Jordan River. The city acquired the property, along with the Fisher Mansion and a carriage house, through a purchase to complete a segment of the Jordan River Trail.Through the Salt Lake Solutions process, the community and other stakeholders will reach a Partnership Agreement outlining their individual commitments and a project timeline. Becker and City Councilman Van Turner will co-convene the Fisher Mansion Partners Team for the project for the first time at the end of February. This group will come to an agreement on process and their objectives, standards of conduct, and principles they will apply to the project. The group will consider alternatives and then agree on recommendations for the use of the property.
