As mayor of South Salt Lake, I
am frequently asked what the city
is doing to attract new economic
development to the city and what
new development is coming. This
month’s newsletter is focused
on economic development and
some of the new and exciting
projects coming to our city. These
new developments will help
increase the tax base of the city,
create job growth and provide
new amenities for city residents.
Let me give you a quick snapshot
of projects recently approved and
some that are under construction.
The City Council has recently approved zoning for The Boyer
Company to develop the property between State Street and Main
Street from 2100 S. to the new Streetcar line. The property will
be a mixed-use development that will bring a new 85,000 square
foot grocery store with accompanying pad sites for restaurants and
retail, and new housing units along the streetcar line.
Other new development includes the Riverfront project at 3800 S.
700 W. This is an exciting 60-acre development that is currently
under construction. This development includes 400,000 square
feet of flex office/warehouse space, 46 townhomes, 52 single
family homes, 288 multi-family homes and a new elementary
school. HOJ Engineering and Sales recently purchased one of the
spaces in the Riverfront Development. They intend to make this
location their national headquarters and will relocate 150 jobs to
the city.
One of my favorites,The Pie Pizzeria is currently under construction
and will be building a new sit-down restaurant on the southeast
corner of 3300 S. 200 E.
The Planning Commission has recently approved two market rate
multi-family developments at the former Ritz Bowling Alley site
at 2255 S. State Street and on the former Zellerbach warehouse
at 2255 S. 300 E. The bowling alley development will keep and
rehabilitate the large bowling pin sign. Both of these developments
will be constructed around the streetcar stations and will resemble
much of the new quality housing being built in surrounding
communities.
Finally, to ensure that the city is taking full advantage of its
economic development potential, we are conducting a master plan
for economic development. This plan will help identify strategic
goals and steps that the city will need to take so that it can continue
to make the necessary steps to attract good businesses, jobs and
a sustainable tax base.
We credit the success of these projects to forward-thinking public
investments and strict new zoning. The economic future of South
Salt Lake is bright - I hope you feel the excitement in the air.

Faces of Business in South Salt Lake
In Memoriam: Don Banford
Long time city resident Rulon Don Banford passed away July 3, 2015 after a short illness. Born on May
15, 1933 in Ogden, Utah, Don was a big booster of South Salt Lake and an engaged citizen with a strong
interest in parks and recreation. He was devoted to his family and his community, all of which loved
Don’s energy and enthusiasm for life. He is missed by his family and by the people who appreciated his
positive influence.
HOJ Innovations is a company that specializes in material handling. CEO
Tim Hoj attributes their success to “engineering better solutions and inno-
vating better ideas.” For any warehouse facility, companies like HOJ are
essential. Since moving to the City of South Salt Lake, HOJ Innovations has
enjoyed the central location in the valley, and they consider South Salt Lake
a “good crossroads” for the company.
WesTech Engineering, Inc. was founded in 1973. The CEO, Rex Plaizier enjoys doing business in South
Salt Lake for practical reasons – the central location is great for his employees. Coming from far-spread
cities such as Provo and Logan, his employees commute to work easily, especially when they use public
transportation. WesTech attributes its success to its mentality of teamwork which is nurtured by the fact
that the company is employee-owned.
Sweetaly is one of South Salt Lake's newest businesses. The gelato (Italian, “ice cream”)
company opened on Valentine's Day of this year, and has become an outstanding place
to stop for a tasty treat. According to the owner, Francesco Amendola, the reason for
their success is "the product itself...and the fact that there's a tradition behind it.”
Francesco and his wife Lisa, along with his sister-in-law Laura, run this authentic Italian
gelateria. They love being in South Salt Lake because the people are “warm and friendly.”
Sweetaly will be opening an additional location in Sugar House this December.
Established in 2007, In The Event is a full-service event company
that specializes in innovative design, decor, display, florals and
event rentals. After moving here from Las Vegas, Robert and
Gaylyn LaSpina saw a need for their skills in Utah and surrounding
areas. Although the business just moved to South Salt Lake about
two months ago, they have already done work for the city in creating
an event booth for Promise South Salt Lake.

Your Guide to Finding a Career and Keeping a Job
Planning and preparation are keys to a successful career. Taking time and effort to plan your career will help you
choose something that you’ll enjoy. Here are steps to get started:
1. Get to know yourself
Self-assessment begins by gathering information about you. You need to understand
your personality type and preferences, know your interests and hobbies and identify your
skills, talents and accomplishments. You can use online tools like utahfutures.org and
mynextmove.org, which feature user-friendly assessments to identify career options that
may be satisfying and rewarding.
2. Explore your options
Research the career options from your self-assessment. To see the job outlook, education
and training requirements, wage information, and information about different careers,
look at http://jobs.utah.gov, http://onetonline.org and http://utahfutures.org. UtahFutures
includes career videos and employer profiles for many Utah companies. You can also
conduct informational interviews, job shadow and network to find out more about different
careers.
3. Clarify your values and prioritize your needs
What are you looking for in a job and, ultimately, your career? A certain schedule and
hours? A family-friendly employer? A specific pay rate with benefits? List these things in
order of importance. Determine which ones are non-negotiable to you. Understand that in
order to have one thing, you may have to sacrifice another.
4. Plan your action and act on your plan
Commit to do one career-building task every week, such as growing your professional
network, increasing your skills, talking to others about potential opportunities and learning
more about your industry. Set daily goals, keep track of your progress and create a system
of people and resources that support you and your career goals.

3. The Pie Pizzeria
The Pie Pizzeria is constructing a great building on the southeast corner of 3300 S. 200 E. This pizzeria will have both indoor and out-
door seating. The Pie Pizzeria will be a tasty place for those looking to grab a bite to eat when catching a movie at Century 16 Theaters.

Utah College
Application Week
In recent surveys, more than 90
percent of middle school students
indicated they plan to attend
college, yet only about two-thirds
of students actually do so. Utah
College Application Week (UCAW)
goal is to provide every high
school senior attending at local
partner schools the opportunity to
complete at least one viable college
or university application during the
school day, with special emphasis
on students who would be the first
in their families to attend college,
as well as low-income students.
With up to 100 high schools
participating, UCAW will run
Nov. 9-20, 2015.
To receive the latest updates on
the UCAW program, like the UCAW
page on Facebook or follow on
Twitter @StepUpUtah /

Cities have always been a place for people to come together to build a robust economy and
develop personal prosperity.
South Salt Lake currently has more jobs than it does residents. But it has few technology-
oriented and professional office jobs. This is, in part, because South Salt Lake’s historical
strength has been in the industrial and manufacturing sectors. But this is also because the
city has lacked an area that office building developers would find appealing. Urban areas with
transit and a mix of offices, shopping and housing are currently the top choice for companies to
build or relocate. Utah is having a boom in office construction and Downtown South Salt Lake
is becoming one of the most sought-after locations in the state for new offices and commercial.
Creating jobs is a top goal for our downtown planning committee. The target is 2,000-3,000
jobs — one job opportunity for each new housing unit in the city. A master plan and zoning or-
dinances that encourage office buildings is being adopted to help attract high-paying jobs and
technology-oriented businesses to South Salt Lake. Economic development incentives and
new zoning will help make this happen. The city will also work closely with state and county
partners to attract national corporations to South Salt Lake.
Project Summaries: Upcoming Developments in the
City of South Salt Lake
Destination Downtown South Salt Lake: Creating Jobs
Boyer Development
The Boyer Development is a mixed-use development that will consist
of an 85,000 square feet anchor grocery store, 167 new market rate
housing units and accompanying pad sites for restaurants and retail
along the streetcar line.
Riverfront
The Riverfront Development is located at approximately 3800
S. 700 W. and is being constructed by the Thackeray Garn
Company. This is a 60-acre development that the city worked on
with the Thackeray Garn Company to masterplan for 400,000
square feet of office/warehouse, 46 townhomes, 52 single-
family homes, 288 market rate multi-family units and a new
elementary school. This project is currently under construction.
Riverfront will not only bring in new residential properties but
will also bring in new business and jobs. The master-planned
community will have access to the Jordan River Parkway and
ample open space throughout the development.
Ritz Classic Multi-Family Development
The Ritz Classic is a 287-unit market rate multi-family
development and is being co-developed by Weidner and ICO
Development. The multi-family development will be located on
thesiteoftheformerRitzBowlingAlley.Thisprojectisconstructed
next to the new streetcar line and is conveniently located across
the street from the Boyer mixed-use development. The city has
worked with the developer to save and rehabilitate the historic
bowling pin sign on State Street.
Zellerbach Apartments
The Zellerbach multi-family housing complex is a 292-unit, mar-
ket rate development that is being constructed by Watt Investment
Partners and Westport Capital Partners. The multi-family develop-
ment will be located directly on the streetcar line at the 300 E. Sta-
tion. This development adds to the greenway along the streetcar
line through the use of a plaza area, a walking path, landscaping
and lighting.

1. Be vulnerable. It’s perfectly all right and even good to ask
people for advice! Sometimes the best way to build a rela-
tionship with whom you’d like to work is to begin by being
vulnerable. Humility, in all its forms, is a very attractive at-
tribute to an employer.
2. Don’t always follow your passion. Start with the skills you
have and develop them so that the career you’re good at
becomes the career you love.
3. Create your position. Take charge of your life! Don’t sit
around waiting for the perfect “dream job” to appear. Re-
search a few employers for whom you would like to work.
4. Learn how to listen. Job seekers can so get caught up
in conveying a certain message and image to the potential
employer that they often fail to listen.
5. Start at the top and move down. Do what you can to get
your resume directly to where it needs to go. Be sure you
use tact, respect, and clarity during the process; directness
does not translate to rudeness.
6. Build a relationship with the administrative assistant.
Fostering good relationships with personnel at every level
can help you land a job. For example, being kind to the
employer’s administrative assistant can make a huge differ-
ence. The assistant knows his or her manager’s schedule,
interests, and preferences.
7. Don’t apply for a job as soon as you spot it. Once you
find a job at a company that you’re interested in, do some
research and reach out to someone there and let them know
that you admire what they do and would appreciate their ad-
vice. After asking them questions via e-mail or phone about
what they like and find challenging at their job, they will likely
bring up the job opening. At that point, ask them about get-
ting your application and resume into the right hands.
8. Focus on body language. Body language is crucial in
job interviews. Be aware of your posture, your hands, your
emotions and exude confidence. Pay attention to your in-
terviewer's body language as well, to see if you’re on the
right track.

Eight Tips For Job Hunters
Community Connection: South Salt
Lake Employee Day of Service
The projects for the 2015 Community Connection program are wrap-
ping up. On September 30, city employee volunteers helped two senior
citizens keep up with maintenance on their homes. Both homeowners
were in need of assistance to get their yard back to a manageable
state. With our fundraising, our collection of tools and hard-working
employees from many departments in the city, the two yards were
transformed in under eight hours. The homeowners are very grateful to
the Mayor and the City Council for allowing the Community Connection
program to continue for a fifth year.
Write Here consultants have been working with students from the Venture
Course program, a free series of humanities courses funded by Westminster
College and the Utah Humanities Council. Consultants have worked with
students from Kenya, Peru, Thailand, and other places in and outside of the
U.S. with assignments for their Critical Writing and English classes.
The Center offers free writing assistance to people of all writing levels and
can chat with you about
ideas even if you haven’t
yet started writing. Your
writing doesn’t have to be
for school or work—any
writing is welcome. In the
past, people have sought
assistance on short stories,
family histories, résumés—

With winter just around the corner, here are some reminders regarding park-
ing on public streets and removing snow from your sidewalks:
-Refrain from parking on any city street and roadway between the hours of
2-6 a.m. any night when snow removal will be necessary.
-Parking in excess of 2 hours between 9-6 p.m. is prohibited on Main Street
between 2100 S. and 3000 S.
-Unattached trailers parked on the street are also prohibited and must be at-
tached to a licensed, registered and operable vehicle.
Please notify the non-emergency police dispatch at 801-840-4000 to report
any of these parking violations.
When the snow starts to fall and accumulate, remember to shovel and keep
your sidewalks clear of snow and debris at all times. Removal must take
place the same day as the snow has fallen, unless it has fallen after 6 p.m.,
which will then be required to be removed by 10 a.m. the next morning. We
appreciate your cooperation and diligence to keep our city safe and clean.
Code Enforcement can be reached at 801-412-6712.

Rock Star of the Month:
Kayla Moss - Human Resources
When Kayla Moss took on a new role as Human Resources Specialist
in 2014, she quickly became a payroll and benefits expert. Not only
does she have the talent and determination to adapt quickly and learn
new things, but Kayla has a shining attitude that makes everyone con-
fident that she will get the job done right. Kayla treats everyone’s is-
sues as though they are priority one, because they are. Always smiling
and eager to help, she goes out of her way to greet employees and
residents and make them feel welcome at City Hall.
Business of the Year:
Mark Miller Subaru
Mark Miller was awarded Business of the Year by Mayor Cherie Wood for their
commitment to the city, their employees and their customers. They often volunteer
in the community, donate to a wide range of non-profits, and provide vehicles for
South Salt Lake's 4th of July parade. In February, General Manager Jeff Miller
signed a solar agreement with Hunt Electric that provides their business 100%
solar power on sunny days. Miller comments, “It’s so important that we are able to
enjoy the Utah mountains for longer and preserve this beautiful place. Adventure
and these incredible experiences won't last forever if we don't all make a commit-
ment to lessening our carbon footprint.” Thank you, Mark Miller Subaru for being a
“shining” example for our business community.
Promise South Salt Lake Jobs and Economic Development Initiative
(JEDI) Council at Work
South Salt Lake is home to approximately 2,000 businesses that provide
over 40,000 jobs. To create better access to employment and increased
job skills, Mayor Wood has created a “JEDI” (Jobs and Economic
Development Initiative) Council to work on communicating available job,
career, and skill building opportunities in the city in order to advance the
South Salt Lake workforce. Led by Promise South Salt Lake, JEDI brings
together city entities, such as the Community and Economic Development
Department and representatives from the Utah Department of Workforce
Services, United Way of Salt Lake, Chamber of Commerce, Zion’s Bank,
business owners, higher education, and nonprofit organizations. The JEDI
Council has been hard at work on a skills and
employment reference guide for South Salt Lake
residents, which will be available online and in
print on December 1, 2015.
Help Available for Homeowners, Homebuyers,
and Small Business Owners
South Salt Lake has partnered with Salt Lake County, the Community Development Corporation of Utah (CDCU) and the Utah
Microenterprise Loan Fund (UMLF) to provide opportunities for qualifying South Salt Lake residents to buy or improve their homes or
grow their small businesses.
If you are an existing qualifying homeowner, South Salt Lake, Salt Lake

Each fall, the American Planning Association designates a month to celebrate National Community Planning. In 2009, in conjunction
with National Community Planning Month, the South Salt Lake City Council passed a resolution for the city to recognize the importance
of city planning. To celebrate Planning Month, the South Salt Lake Community and Economic Development Department will be holding
its fourth annual photo contest. No skill level required. Just point and shoot. This is a great
activity for the whole family. Winning photos will be displayed at City Hall.
The theme for the photo contest is “Great Places in South Salt Lake.” The Community and
Economic Development Department encourages residents to go out and take pictures of their
favorite places in the city or of people doing things in great locations in South Salt Lake. The
City Council will recognize the top three winners of the photo contest at their December City
Council meeting. For more information, visit sslc.com and download an entry application. The
application will provide instructions on how to submit a photo. If you have any questions, call the
Community and Economic Development Department at 801-483-6011.

Home Occupation Business Licenses
Looking to work from home? South Salt Lake supports small businesses and those
just getting started. Home office businesses are permitted in residential areas of the
city and residents need only apply for a home occupation license. Businesses other
than home offices such as a hair salon, day care or dance instruction require a condi-
tional use permit from the Community and Economic Development Department.
These businesses have a set of conditions given with the license approval in order to
ensure that home businesses are ancillary to the residence. Home-based businesses
may use up to 20 percent of the floor area of the home. Customer traffic is by appoint-
ment only and businesses may operate from 7 a.m.-8 p.m. A full list of these require-
ments may be found under municipal code 17.06.130 on the city’s website, sslc.com.
This year, the city has issued 59 home occupation licenses. South Salt Lake currently
has 252 active home occupation licenses. If you would like to know more about start-
ing a home-based business or would like additional information contact the city’s Busi-
ness Licensing Division at 801-483-6031.

School attendance is a baseline factor in determining
student success.
Students are more likely to succeed in academics when they
attend school consistently. It’s difficult for the teacher and the
class as a whole to build their skills and progress when students
are frequently absent.
Low attendance in school has serious consequences for
the entire community.
Students who don’t attend school regularly struggle
academically. In addition to falling behind in academics,
students who are not in school are more likely to get into
mischief and cause problems in their communities.
How does regular school attendance affect a child?
A 2008 study conducted by the Rodel Community Scholars
at Arizona State University found that dropout patterns were
linked with poor attendance, beginning in kindergarten.
How can schools increase their attendance rate?
According to the National Center for Student Engagement,
schools are most effective in achieving high attendance rates
when parents, school leaders, and community members work
together to focus on reducing absences and truancy and
keeping kids in schools.
Regular Attendance is Key for Students and Community!

Keeping Up With the Chamber: An Interview With South Salt Lake
Chamber of Commerce CEO Gary Birdsall
For the South Salt Lake Chamber of Commerce, having the right attitude for business networking is criti-
cal for a solid community reputation. The best listener can convince owners of small businesses that a
membership in the Chamber carries more than enough benefits — even for individuals who do not think
they have enough time to add one more activity to an already crammed schedule.
There is no doubt that Gary Birdsall, president and CEO of the South Salt Lake Chamber, has the right
touch. A long-time Utah business leader, he came out of retirement in 2013 to make a difference in
this community. In the last three years, the Chamber has seen a dramatic increase in its membership
numbers, which now surpass 200 – representing 10 percent of the city businesses. This is an important
benchmark for small or mid-size chambers of commerce across the country. Membership revenue also
has increased 20 percent annually, and nearly every South Salt Lake Chamber member renews their
membership.
“The numbers fell off during the recession, but we’re seeing new members of all types,” Birdsall said. “Not only do we have new
members including small businesses with five or fewer employees but we’re also seeing those who had not renewed for a long time
[and] even businesses that have been around South Salt Lake for decades but never joined. No question: our best sales people in the
Chamber are our members, who commit to actively reaching out to others and helping them share in the success of being a chamber
member.”
Research supports the importance of chamber networking. A survey study by The Shapiro Group, Inc., and Market Street Services
showed that when consumers know that a small business is a member of their local chamber of commerce, they are 44 percent more
likely to think favorably of it. And, more than 60 percent said they were more likely to purchase goods or services from the company
in the future.
“It is extremely important that we listen to our constituents,” he explained, adding that the Chamber’s outreach activities take many
forms. To do so, they participate in the JEDI (Jobs and Economic Development) Committee, support a “Women in Business” program,
and provide educational seminars and programs for schools, businesses and municipal departments including police and fire services,
and events for holidays and restaurant promotions. All this is in addition to Chamber hosted celebrations and activities such as the
annual golf tournaments.
Birdsall also said the Chamber is strengthening its relationship with the city as well as chambers of neighboring cit-
ies, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the Economic Development Corporation of Utah, the Utah Governor’s Office
of Economic Development and Salt Lake County.
The Chamber also participates in the Salt Lake County plan that is being developed in conjunction with the Global
Cities Initiative (GCI), a five-year joint project of the Brookings Institution and JPMorgan Chase. Birdsall said these
efforts will help South Salt Lake companies develop their global market presence, especially in exporting products
they manufacture. Salt Lake County was one of eight metropolitan areas added to the GCI program in 2015, bring-
ing the total to 28 across the United States.
