The Council reviewed the following legislative intent relating to the economic impact of lower oil prices and mild winter weather on the 2015 Salt Lake County (SLCO) budget:
It is the intent of this Council to quantify the budgetary savings that will derive from lower-than-expected oil prices and the mild winter weather experienced in 2015. It would be most helpful if the anticipated savings were allocated among the following categories: gasoline prices; diesel fuel prices; snow removal savings; supplies and equipment savings; other savings; and – to the extent possible – the increase in SLCO sales tax revenue estimated to derive from lower fuel costs. The economic impacts should be available for Council review and discussion as soon as practical but no later than May 19, 2015.
Council Member Bradshaw, seconded by Council Member Jensen, moved to ratify the vote taken in the Committee of the Whole meeting. [Council Member DeBry, seconded by Council Member Granato, moved to approve the legislative intent and forward it to the 4:00 p.m. Council meeting for formal consideration.
