This is a discussion among RDA Board Directors and select presenters. The public is welcome to listen, unless otherwise specified as a public comment period. Items scheduled may be moved and / or discussed during a different portion of the Meeting based on circumstance or availability of speakers. Item start times and durations are approximate and are subject to change at the Chair's discretion.
This meeting will be an electronic meeting pursuant to the Chair's determination: I, Amy Fowler, the chair of the Board of the Redevelopment Agency, hereby determined that conducting the Board of the Redevelopment Agency meeting at an anchor location presents a substantial risk to the health and safety of those who may be present at the anchor location. The World Health Organization, the President of the United States, the Governor of Utah, the Salt Lake County Health Department, Salt Lake County Mayor, and the Mayor of Salt Lake City have all recognized a global pandemic exists related to the new strain of the coronavirus, SARS- CoV-2. Due to the state of emergency caused by the global pandemic, I find that conducting a meeting at an anchor location under the current state of public health emergency constitutes a substantial risk to the health and safety of those who may be present at the location.
For these reasons, the Redevelopment Agency Meeting will not have a physical location at the City and County Building and all attendees will connect remotely.

1. Resolution: Adopting an Updated RDA Art Policy ~ 2:05 p.m. 20 min.
The Board will be briefed about, and will consider adopting, a resolution for an updated RDA Art Policy. The RDA's original policy, adopted in 1990, authorized 1% of certain Agency construction project budgets for public art.

The draft Housing Allocation Funds Policy establishes guidelines for allocating funding and directing resources to develop and preserve housing in the City. The draft Housing Development Loan Program Policy creates a program that would centralize the application, underwriting, and approval process. This setup would provide community partners a 'one-stop shop' for accessing resources to develop and preserve affordable housing.
