Mayor’s Budget Basics
================
https://link.slc.gov/budgetbasics/
On this page you can see the proposed budget, where cuts were made, inflation’s impact (and keeping the budget below meeting inflation), and where budget was extended (real estate and transportation), as well as an in-person event calendar for where you can learn and be heard. The government’s year begins July 1, when this budget will be put in place. Feedback and conversation seem strongly encouraged. https://www.slc.gov/Finance/fiscal-year-2027/

================
Community Clean Energy Program – Open Comment
================
Council.Comments@slc.gov for comment.

Rocky Mountain Power (RMP) enlists the State of Utah to impose legislation to allow RMP to charge consumers through a government program to retain self-generated-solar power. If adopted, the program would aim to give the community the opportunity to source their electricity from renewable energy. Eligible Rocky Mountain Power (RMP) customers would be automatically enrolled, with the option to opt out. Most residential customers would see a new $4/month line item on their RMP bill. Non-residential customer fees would be based on actual usage. Income-qualified residents would participate free of charge.

For more information about the proposal, visit link.slc.gov/clean-energy.

DEVELOPMENT — West-East Connections – ongoing projects

United States Department of Transportation’s (USDOT) Reconnecting Communities Pilot Program looks into how it can financially support transportation systems all across the Nation to modernize infrastructure for longevity and to create jobs. Our very own Utah Dept of Transportation will apply for a grant to help the Westside’s “low-capacity community” status, meaning, we cannot fund these vital, bridge-dividing projects on our own.
