CC: Cindy Gust-Jenson, Frank Gray, Mary DeLaMare-Schaefer, David Everitt, Dan Mulé, Marina Scott, Ed Rutan, Jennifer Bruno, Boyd Ferguson, Tim Harpst, Michael Barry, Garth Limburg, Karen Carruthers, Susan Finlayson, Blaine Carlton, Nick Tarbet,, Kristen Mulderig, Brian Fullmer, Amber McClellan, Karen Halladay, Michael Stott, Shawn McDonough, & Joyce Valdez FILE LOCATIONS: CED/North Temple Viaduct/SAA No. 109014

The North Temple Viaduct Special Assessment Area (SAA) No. 109014 will extend from the west side of the 400 West intersection to the east side of the 600 West intersection on North Temple and include four vehicle travel lanes, bicycle lanes, pedestrian walkways, enhanced street and pedestrian lighting, light rail tracks and a passenger transfer station from the light rail to the Front Runner commuter rail station located below the viaduct.

POTENTIAL MOTION: 1. [“I move that the Council”] Adopt an ordinance approving the assessment list and levying assessments upon property in Salt Lake City, Utah Special Assessment Area (North Temple Viaduct) No. 109014, establishing the effective date of the 2012 Assessment ordinance; providing for a procedure to contest an assessment; and related matters.

REQUESTED ACTION: The next step for the City Council is to adopt the attached ordinance approving the assessment list and levying assessments upon property in Salt Lake City, North Temple Viaduct Replacement Special Assessment Area (SAA), No. 109014 for the purpose of paying a portion of the costs associated with the improvements. On July 19, 2011, the City Council adopted a resolution to appoint a Board of Equalization and Review and set the dates for the Board of Equalization that were held on August 17, 18 and 19, 2011. The Board heard and considered objections to and made corrections of any proposed assessments which the Board deemed unequal or unjust. This was an opportunity for property owners to discuss with the Board any actual costs that are being proposed. The Board of Equalization and Review consisted of the following City officials: one member of the City Council, a representative of the City Treasurer’s Office, and a representative of the City Engineer’s Office. One property owner representing three individual parcels (103 N 300 W, 121 N 300 W, and 320 W North Temple) requested adjustments to the proposed assessment. A ten percent adjustment for the three parcels was made (refer to page 2 of the bond counsel’s paperwork for more details of the adjustment).

BUDGET RELATED INFORMATION: The Administration states: “This proposal would create an additional expense in future CIP budgets. The 10-year CIP plan currently being discussed by the Council assumes that payments on the sales tax bonds issued for the viaduct would be made using CIP funds.” Council staff will be available at the time of adoption to answer any questions the Council may have regarding funding.

Breakdown of funding for the North Temple Viaduct Reconstruction Property owners’ assessment $4,308,911.20 which will be used to pay a

portion of the debt services on the sales tax bond. Assessment rate will not exceed .051 except for the adjusted assessment rates approved by the Board of Equalization. The total or any part of an assessment may be paid without interest within 25 days after the 2012 assessment ordinance is published; however assessments not paid within the 25 days shall be payable over a period of 20 years. Interest on the unpaid of an assessment shall accrue at a rate of approximately 3.75% per annum.

RE: Assessment Ordinance for the N0l1h Temple Viaduct Replacement Special Assessment Area, Job Number 109014.

STAFF CONTACTS: John Naser P.E., City Engineer 801-535-6240 or [email protected]

DOCUMENT TYPE: Ordinance

RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council adopt the Ordinance and authorize levying an assessment upon each property identified in the assessment role for the propose of paying a portion of the costs associated with the improvements included within the N0l1h Temple Viaduct Replacement Special Assessment Area, Job Number 109014. Creation of the SAA provided additional funding from property owners adjacent to the North Temple 400 West intersection.

BUDGET IMP ACT: Reconstmction costs for the North Temple Viaduct are being paid from Utah State Legislature allocated funds, Federal Highway Administration Surface Transportation funds, Utah Transit Authority funds, sales tax bond revenue for the adjacent Community Development Area (CDA), property owner assessments through the Special Assessment Area, and Public Utilities storm drainage funds. The anticipated $4,308,911.20 generated from the assessment of the N0l1h Temple Viaduct Replacement is to be used for payment of a portion of the debt service on the sales tax bond.

Funding for the N0l1h Temple Viaduct reconstmction was approved as follows:

• $25 Million from UTA project funds • $20 Million from State of Utah funds allocated to the viaduct

Page 5: SALT LAKE CITY COUNCIL MEMORANDUM · 2012-02-17 · 1 SALT LAKE CITY COUNCIL MEMORANDUM _____ DATE: February 16, 2012 TO: City Council Members FROM: Jan Aramaki, Council Staff Member

• $5.73 Million in Federal Highway Funds issued by Wasatch Front Regional Council and administered by UTA

• $16.45 Million in anticipated Sales Taxes Bonds repaid from the Community Development Area

• $4 million in Public Utilities Storm Drainage funds for the reconstruction of the City Creek conduit.

Total North Temple Viaduct funding: Total funding, less Public Utilities Storm Drainage funding

$71,180,000 $67,180,000

The original intent ofthe North Temple Viaduct assessment was for debt service payments on the anticipated sales tax bonds until adequate funds are generated from the CDA. In further discussions with the City's Bond Counsel, it was recommended that the City use the funds generated from the SAA to pay down the viaduct construction costs rather, than for debt service on bonds. The City will likely bond for less than the original amount approved, due to project cost savings, and will use the CIP for the dept service until the CDA generates funds. This proposal would create an additional expense in future CIP budgets. The 10-year CIP plan currently being discussed by the Council assumes that payments on the sales tax bonds issued for the viaduct would be made using CIP funds.

BACKGROUNDillISCUSSION: The North Temple Viaduct Replacement Special Assessment Area, Job No. 109014, involved the replacement of the existing viaduct located

-----between approxirnat~lyJ50-W~raml-600-We"twith,rcnmbirred-auto-!light-rail-track-viaduct-. ---­The new viaduct will extend from the west side of the 400 West intersection to the east side of the 600 West intersection. It will include four vehicles travel lanes, bicycle lanes, wide pedestrian walkways, enhanced street and pedestrian lighting, tracks for the light rail extension and a passenger transfer facility from the light rail station to the Front Runner commuter rail station located below the viaduct. The construction of the viaduct coincides with the construction of the light rail system and North Temple Boulevard improvements.

On February 10,2010, the City Council adopted the resolution to designate the North Temple Viaduct Assessment Area. On July 19,2011, the Council adopted the resolution appointing the Board of Equalization to hear and consider any objections to the proposed assessments.

PUBLIC PROCESS: The Board of Equalization hearings were held in the City Engineer's office on August 17, 18, and 19,2011. One property owner representing three individual parcels requested adjustments to the proposed assessment. Minor adjustments to the assessment were made on those properties.

Section 6. Payment of Assessments.

(a) The whole or any part of an assessment may be paid without interest within twenty-five (25) days after this 2012 Assessment Ordinance is published as required by the Act (the "Effective Date"). The whole or any part of an assessment not paid within such 25-day period shall be payable over a period of twenty (20) years beginning on or about September 7, 2012, in twenty (20) substantially equal annual principal and interest installments due on each anniversary date of the first assessment installment payment date. Interest on the unpaid balance of an assessment shall accrue at the rate of approximately 3.75% per annum from the Effective Date of this 2012 Assessment Ordinance until paid in full and each assessment installment shall include one year's interest on the unpaid assessment amount. The final interest rate shall be the same net effective rate as the City will pay on its sales tax bonds it anticipates issuing to finance a portion of the cost of the Improvements, provided, however, that in the event an assessment is not paid when due and payable, interest shall accrue on the default amolmt at the Default Rate as those terms are defined and as described herein.

(b) After the above-referenced 25-day period, each assessment may be paid prior to the date on which it becomes due, but any such prepayment must include an additional amount equal to the interest which would accrue on the assessment to the next succeeding date on which interest is payable.

(c) In the event all or any portion of the property assessed hereunder is subdivided into smaller parcels as evidenced by a subdivision plat approved by the Council and recorded in the Salt Lake County Recorder's office, the entire assessment levied against said property shall, as a condition to approval of said subdivision plat, be prepaid in whole. A release of the assessment lien will be delivered by the City to the property owners at the time the assessment balance is paid in full.

Section 7. Default in Payment. If a default occurs in the payment of any assessment installment when due, the City may (a) declare the delinquent amount to be immediately due and subject to collection, or (b) accelerate payment of the total unpaid balance of the assessment and declare the whole of the unpaid principal and interest then due to be immediately due and payable. Additional interest shall accrue and be paid on all amounts declared to be delinquent or accelerated and immediately due and payable at the same rate as (i) is applied to delinquent real property taxes for the year in which the assessment installment becomes delinquent (the "Delinquent Rate") or (ii) as the City Council determines. In addition to interest charges at the Delinquent Rate, costs of collection, including attorneys fees and court costs ("Collection Costs"), as determined by the City Treasurer or required by law, may be charged and paid on all amounts declared to be delinquent or accelerated and immediately due and payable. In lieu of accelerating the total assessment balance when one or more assessment installments become delinquent, the City may elect to bring an action to collect only the delinquent portion of the assessment plus interest at the Delinquent Rate and Collection Costs.

Page 12: SALT LAKE CITY COUNCIL MEMORANDUM · 2012-02-17 · 1 SALT LAKE CITY COUNCIL MEMORANDUM _____ DATE: February 16, 2012 TO: City Council Members FROM: Jan Aramaki, Council Staff Member

Upon any default, the City Treasurer shall give notice in writing of the default to the owner of the property in default as shown by the last available equalized assessment rolls. Notice shall be effective upon deposit of the notice in the U.S. Mail, postage prepaid, and addressed to the owner as shown on the last equalized assessment rolls for the City or on the official ownership records of Salt Lake County. The notice shall provide for a period of thirty (30) days in which the owner shall pay the installments then due and owing together with accrued interest at the regular rate plus costs as determined by the City Treasurer. If the City elects to use the enforcement remedy involving acceleration, the Notice shall also declare that after the thirty (30) day period the City shall accelerate the then unpaid balance of the principal of the assessment to be immediately due and payable together with Collection Costs and interest on the entire unpaid balance to accrue from the date of delinquency at the Delinquent Rate. Thereafter, the City may commence foreclosure proceedings in the manner provided for actions to foreclose mortgage liens or trust deeds. If the City elects to utilize the trust deed enforcement remedy, the City Attorney shall designate a trust deed trustee for purposes of the enforcement action. If at the sale no person or entity shall bid and pay the City the amount due on the assessment plus interest and costs, the property shall be deemed sold to the City for those amounts. The City shall be permitted to bid at the sale.

The remedies provided herein for the collection of assessments and the enforcement of liens shall be deemed and construed to be cumulative and the use of any one remedy for collection or enforcement shall not deprive the City of the use of any other remedy or means. The amounts of accrued interest and all costs of collection shall be added to the amount of the assessment up to the date of foreclosure sale.

Section 8. Remedy of Default. If prior to the final date payment may be legally made tmder a final sale or foreclosure of property to collect delinquent assessments, or prior to the end of the three-month reinstatement period provided by Section 57-1-31 , Utah Code Annotated 1953, as amended, in the event the collection is enforced through the method of foreclosing trust deeds, the property owner pays the full amount of all unpaid installments of principal and interest which are past due and delinquent with interest on such installments at the Default Rate to the payment date, plus all trustee's fees, attorneys' fees, and other costs of collection, the assessment of said owner shall be restored and such default removed, and thereafter the owner shall have the right to make the payments in installments as if the default had not occurred, subject to any default that may thereafter occur and the exercise of remedies as herein provided with respect thereto. Any payment made to cure a default shall be applied first, to the payment of attorneys' fees and other costs incurred as a result of such default; second, to interest charged on past due installments at the Default Rate, as set forth above; third, to the interest portion of all past due assessments; and last, to the payment of outstanding principal.

Section 9. Lien of Assessment. The assessments, any interest accruing and the penalties, trustee ' s fees, attorneys' fees, and other costs of collection shall constitute a lien against the propeliy upon which the assessment is levied on the effective date of this Ordinance. Said lien shall be superior to the lien of any trust deed, mOligage, mechanic's, or materialman's lien, or other encumbrance and shall be equal to and on a

parity with the lien for general property taxes. The lien shall continue until the assessment and any interest, penalties, and costs on it are paid, notwithstanding any sale of the property for or on account of a delinquent general propeliy tax, special tax, or other assessment or the issuance of tax deed, an assignment of interest by the governing entity or a sheriff s certificate of sale or deed.

Section 10. Contestability.
