7:25 Big Field Pavilion Update
Roxanne Christensen
The CIP recommends postponing the Big Field Pavilion table placement for a year.
1. Does the board support this recommendation (support, neutral, or oppose)?
If the board opposes the CIP recommendation, we move forward with table placement. Dan Sonntag (Project Manager) proposes two layout options that maximize capacity (option 2 slightly less). If we wanted to omit some of the tables at the east end, then that can be easily done for either of these.
2. Does the board recommend table layout Option 1 or Option 2?
Action Item: Park Authority Vote Required
7:40 Hotel Project on Sizzler Property
Jackie Rosen
SLC has received applications to rezone the old Sizzler property from MU-3 (existing) to MU-8 (proposed), and to amend the land use from Mixed Use Low Intensity to Business District Mixed Use - Town Center Scale. We want to take a consensus vote:
1. What is the board member's position on the overall hotel project (support, neutral, or oppose)?
2. What is the board member's position on the rezoning of the property (support, neutral, or oppose)?
3. Are there any unaddressed concerns with the rezoning specifically?
4. Should the SHPA submit a written position statement to Salt Lake City on our position (yes, stating vote only; yes, stating vote and concerns; no)?
Action Item: Park Authority Consensus Vote on the Board Member's Position
