G. Public Comment
Mayor Ramsey opened the public comment portion of the meeting.
Robin Pierce (Resident) We need a dog park in South Jordan. I bring my dog to the Herriman
dog park and the Sandy dog park. We've also been to the West Jordan dog park. I sent a letter to
the board of the Bingham Creek Regional Park, and Mr. Don Tingey replied to me. He let me
know that a dog park is on the master plan for the park, but there hasn't been any serious start to
it. He said its part of Phase B, but they don't have a timeline yet for when Phase B would begin.

I just thought it might be nice if we had one, too. I feel like Bingham Creek Regional Park is

City Council Meeting
April 1, 2025
Mayor Ramsey noted this is a conversation we've been having. There are a lot of people who
agree with you and think it would be great to have a dog park in the city. The challenge, as
always, is funding. That said, we are actively discussing it and looking for solutions, ways we
could potentially create a plan to make it happen.
Ms. Pierce added people would definitely be willing to donate, maybe cover the cost of a bench
or contribute through engraved pavers. I really think people would get involved, because so
many residents here have dogs.
Mayor Ramsey closed the public comment portion of the meeting.

J. Public Hearing Item:
J.1. Resolution R2025-11, Approving the use of Community Development
Block Grant (CDBG) funds and authorizing the City to enter into a Grant
Agreement for the use of CDBG funds. (By Senior Accountant, Reid
Sanderson)
South Jordan City 6
City Council Meeting
April 1, 2025
Senior Accountant Reid Sanderson reviewed prepared presentation (Attachment A), noting
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds are administered by the U.S. Department
of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and must benefit low- and moderate-income
residents. The city has identified areas eligible for these funds, and a survey was distributed to
these areas to gather community input on needs. The survey received 542 total responses, with
399 responses from direct invites and 143 from social media and newsletters. The main concerns
identified were street improvements, park and recreational facilities, sidewalk improvements,
and tree planting. The goals for the 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan were determined based on the
survey responses and included correcting accessibility deficiencies, maintaining existing
housing, improving neighborhoods, and supporting services for vulnerable populations. Nine
applications were received for the 2025-2026 funding year, requesting a total of $339,000, while
the estimated available funds are around $220,000. A committee of seven members reviews the
applications using a scoring process based on various criteria, including organizational capacity,
project magnitude, effective use of CDBG funding, eligibility, and performance toward the plan's
goals. For the 2025-2026 Annual Action Plan, the primary goals are to correct accessibility
deficiencies, support vulnerable populations, and maintain existing housing. If the final grant
amount is lower than estimated, activities will be adjusted proportionally. The public comment
period for the plan will close on April 17, 2025. The next steps for the CDBG program include
receiving adjusted funding allocations by mid-July based on final amounts. Comments, signed
forms, and final allocations from the Annual Action Plan and Consolidated Plan will be
submitted to the county, which will forward them to HUD. Environmental reviews and sub-
recipient agreements will be prepared. Once HUD approves the plans and finalizes agreements, it
will begin accepting invoices and reports, which typically starts around July 1, though delays are
anticipated again this year. The presentation (Attachment A) also included a list of current
providers for the program.
Mayor Ramsey opened the public hearing portion of the meeting.
Carissa Guthris (The Road Home) - Thanked the City Council for considering their request for
funding. She acknowledged that they were not granted funds this year but expressed gratitude for
the partnership and the opportunity to serve South Jordan residents. The Road Home provides
emergency shelter to approximately 1,000 individuals each night, including around 300
individuals from their family resource center in Midvale. She expressed appreciation for the
awarded partners and indicated that The Road Home would be grateful to be considered for
funding if additional funds become available.
Brandon Veihl (Grants Manager for South Valley Services) - Thanked the City Council for
the opportunity to apply for CDBG funds and for the funding recommendation they received. He
provided an overview of South Valley Services, which is a domestic violence crisis shelter and
supportive service center serving victims across Utah, with a focus on Salt Lake County. In the
last fiscal year, the organization served 3,809 clients, providing over 19,000 services across
various programs such as case management, victim advocacy, financial education, emergency
shelter, clinical services, and housing support. He highlighted specific statistics, including
answering 5,538 emergency helpline calls, providing 520 clients with shelter, and offering 2,065
hours of case management. He also mentioned their educational efforts, reaching 6,800
South Jordan City 7
City Council Meeting
April 1, 2025
community members through 276 events. He expressed gratitude for the continued partnership
and support from the City Council.
Mayor Ramsey closed the public hearing portion of the meeting.
Accountant Sanderson addressed the council's questions (Attachment B), explaining that the city
previously contributed to the ASSIST program but stopped funding it in recent years. This
change occurred after discussions to use part of RDA funding for similar programs, which led to
a shift away from the CDBG program funding such services. RDA funds, however, have since
been allocated to other projects. The city is now attempting to reintegrate funding for these
programs through CDBG funding. Regarding the comparison between Habitat for Humanity and
ASSIST, he clarified that Habitat for Humanity offers similar services, specifically addressing
accessibility concerns within homes. While the two programs have some overlap in their
objectives, there are some differences in their operations. The rationale for shifting focus to
Habitat for Humanity was not to determine which provider is "better," but rather to align the
city's funding strategy with the services needed. The rationale for changing from the ASSIST to
Habitat for Humanity was that the city reached out to ASSIST this year, inviting them to apply
for funding, but ASSIST did not submit an application. Habitat for Humanity, however, did
apply and met the need for a program addressing accessibility concerns, which was a significant
priority identified through community surveys. The city decided to establish a relationship with
Habitat for Humanity to better address those concerns and support accessibility projects.
Regarding the Community Health Center, its closest location to South Jordan is in Midvale,
though it operates additional locations throughout the valley. When asked if any grantees are
located within South Jordan, it was noted that the only program physically based in South Jordan
is the ADA ramp program. Other grantees, like the English Skills Learning Center, were not
selected this year due to their limited connection to the city and the scoring results from the
committee and survey feedback. For Habitat for Humanity, any funding provided by the city will
be used primarily for South Jordan residents. The organization is required to report on the
number of South Jordan residents served, and this data is reviewed quarterly to ensure the funds
are appropriately allocated. When asked about Low and Moderate Area (LMA) eligibility, it was
explained that South Jordan City received a special exception from HUD for 25.4%. LMA areas
are those deemed eligible for CDBG funding based on income criteria set by HUD. The city has
mapped these areas, and the Glenmore area is not included in the LMA-eligible areas.
Mayor Ramsey inquired about the 25% exception, asking for further clarification on how that
percentage is determined and the criteria used to qualify areas for Low and Moderate Income
(LMI) eligibility.
Accountant Sanderson explained that the Low and Moderate Income (LMI) eligibility map is
based on data from the 2020 U.S. Census. The map reflects updated income information by
census tract, with darker shaded areas indicating those that exceed the 25.4% LMI threshold
required for CDBG funding eligibility. He noted that the most recent update increased the
number of qualifying areas in South Jordan from approximately six or seven tracts last year to
ten this year. He acknowledged that changes in eligibility occurred between the previous and
current data sets, including the Glenmoor area. While part of Glenmoor qualified under the
South Jordan City 8
City Council Meeting
April 1, 2025
previous 2010 census-based map, it is no longer eligible under the updated 2020 data. This shift
reflects changes in income demographics over the decade.
Council Member Zander asked for clarification on how eligibility is determined for LMI areas.
Accountant Sanderson responded that the identification is based on household income, not
housing costs. Specifically, the U.S. Department of HUD uses census tract-level income data to
determine what percentage of residents in a given area fall below the LMI threshold. If 25.4% or
income limits, that area qualifies
Council Member Zander asked for clarification on the process, specifically whether the U.S.
Census Bureau collects and calculates the income data and then provides it to HUD, or if HUD
does its own analysis to determine the LMI eligibility areas. Accountant Sanderson clarified that
the 25.4% threshold is a special exception granted by HUD to South Jordan City due to its
relatively low proportion of LMI areas. Normally, for an area to qualify for CDBG funding, at
least 51% of households must meet LMI criteria. However, because South Jordan lacks a
sufficient number of neighborhoods that meet that standard, HUD has lowered the required
threshold to 25.4% for the city, allowing more areas to be eligible for funding. This exception is
reviewed and adjusted annually by HUD based on updated demographic and income data.
Council Member Johnson inquired whether the sidewalk repairs, conducted annually, are
concentrated solely within the LMI eligible areas, as defined by HUD guidelines for CDBG
funding. Accountant Sanderson clarified that sidewalk repairs, particularly those improving
wheelchair accessibility, are not limited to LMI-eligible areas. These improvements can occur
throughout the city because they serve broader public needs, such as access to grocery stores and
public buildings, -related infrastructure enhancements.
Council Member Johnson asked about the significance of the LMI-designated areas and what
limitations they place on the use of funding. Accountant Sanderson clarified that the current
funding primarily supports the ADA ramp program, which can be applied citywide since
accessibility improvements benefit people across the city, not just in specific areas. However, if
future projects were focused on things like park development or tree planting, they would need to
be concentrated within the LMI-designated areas to comply with CDBG funding requirements.
The ADA program offers more flexibility in terms of location since it serves the broader public
need for accessibility.
Council Member Shelton asked for clarification, stating that it sounds like the map is primarily
used to calculate funding from HUD. Accountant Sanderson clarified that the map is used by
HUD to justify how many low, moderate income areas are eligible, which in turn affects the
amount of funding the city receives. He noted that South Jordan is among the lowest in terms of
funding from HUD, ranking fourth or fifth lowest in their seven-state area, which means their
funding is limited.
Council Member Shelton inquired whether a family or individual who is low or moderate income
and applies for assistance, such as a wheelchair ramp through Habitat for Humanity, would need
to live within a designated low or moderate income area. He clarified that they would not need to
South Jordan City 9
City Council Meeting
April 1, 2025
reside in one of those areas but would need to justify the assistance request based on their
household income. Accountant Sanderson clarified that individuals applying for assistance, such
as a wheelchair ramp through Habitat for Humanity, would need to work with Habitat for
Humanity to confirm that they meet the low-income criteria. However, the map pertains only to
city-specific projects. Service providers, like Habitat for Humanity, can assist any resident within
the city, as long as the individual qualifies based on low or moderate income guidelines,
regardless of whether they live in one of the designated areas.
Council Member Shelton inquired if a park could be built using these funds, with the
clarification that it would need to be located within one of the designated low and moderate-
income areas to qualify for funding.
Accountant Sanderson explained that if a park were to be located outside of one of the low and
moderate-income areas, the city would need to justify to HUD that a substantial number of low
and moderate-income residents from other areas would utilize the park.
Mayor Ramsey asked about the number of ADA accessibility cutouts that could be completed
with the $116,000 allocated for sidewalk projects and accessibility. City Engineer Brad Klavano
stated that last year, the cost for each ADA ramp was approximately $3,200 to $3,400, with
previous years' costs reaching around $6,000 per ramp. Given this, if you divide the allocated
$116,000 by the current cost range it will estimate how many ramps could be completed.
Mayor Ramsey expressed some thoughts about the census calculations, noting that some areas
labeled as low to moderate income on the map don't appear to meet that standard by most
measures. However, she acknowledged and appreciated HUD's support in working with the city.
She also recognized the importance of the city's efforts to help those in need and appreciated that
the map accurately reflected the city's boundaries. Accountant Sanderson said the map was
primarily intended to give an overview of the low to moderate income areas that technically
qualify for funding. However, for the current projects the city is working on, such as the ADA
accessibility improvements, the city is not strictly tied to these specific areas. The focus is more
on ensuring the projects benefit low to moderate income residents, regardless of their exact
location within the city.
Council Member Harris inquired about the possibility of allocating an additional $5,000 to The
Road Home, after hearing their presentation. He suggested pulling funds from other entities to
make this allocation possible and asked for the council's input on whether there is support for
this adjustment.
that she had similar thoughts. She appreciated the representative from The Road Home,
especially as she is a resident of South Jordan. She voiced his desire to find funds to support The
Road Home, asking whether there is flexibility to do so.
Accountant Sanderson clarified that any additional funding for The Road Home would need to
come from the public service allocation, as the city is limited to using 15% of the total CDBG
funds for public services.
South Jordan City 10
City Council Meeting
April 1, 2025
Council Member Harris suggested adjusting the allocations to reduce funding for South Valley
Services, Community Health Center, and Legal Aid Center each, to allocate $5,000 to The Road
Home.
Mayor Ramsey expressed support for reallocating $5,000 to The Road Home, acknowledging the
importance of supporting the organization. She mentioned that while $5,000 may seem like a
small amount, it aligns with what the city can do, and she is in favor of including this adjustment
in the motion to approve.
Council Member Harris motioned to approve Resolution R2025-11, Approving the use of
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds and authorizing the City to enter
into a Grant Agreement for the use of CDBG funds with an amendment to include $5,000
allocated to the Road Home. Council Member Zander seconded the motion.

South Jordan City Recorder
ATTACHMENT B
CBDG:
I remember we have contributed to ASSIST in the past. Why have we chosen to not contribute
this year?
Does Habitat for Humanity provide the same services as ASSIST and are they a better provider,
what is the rationale for changing?
Where is the Community Health Center located?
Are any of the grantees located in South Jordan? Were there any applicants from South Jordan?
Will any of the funds allocated to Habitat for Humanity be used directly in South Jordan?
What does LMA Eligible Area mean? It appears that none of the lower Glenmoor area is LMA
Eligible is that correct?
There appears to be a typo on page 39 of the packet, page 4 of the report. I believe it should
read living vs leaving.
Where were the resident surveys sent? How did you determine they were not statistically
significant? What was the most common response from the surveys? Did resident feedback
impact any goals/strategies/tactics/or providers?
