Mayor Wood Highlights the Work of Public Works
In South Salt Lake, our
Public Works Department
provides and maintains city
infrastructure to help every
neighborhood to be a safe
place to live. Public Works is
responsible for management
of our streets, sewer, water,
solid waste and storm water,
and is critical to public health
and safety.
Most recently,
the department has improved
transportation options in the
Mayor Cherie Wood
city by working with UTA
and Salt Lake City in construction of the S-Line Streetcar. The
department is currently in the process of completing the design
of the 300 East/3300 South to 3900 South reconstruction project,
scheduled to begin this summer. The Public Works Streets
Division continues to maintain streets through the crack and slurry
seal program and trip hazard mitigation. The city is also looking
at options to improve active transportation, such as bike facilities,
throughout South Salt Lake.

South Salt Lake Mayor Cherie Wood presented Westminster College with
the 2014 Partner of the Year award to President Brian Levin-Stankevich
during the annual state of the city address at noon on Wednesday, March
20th. This is the first partnership in city history to win back-to-back recognition of this award as Westminster was named 2013 Partner of the

As part of the South Salt Lake citizen strategic planning process,
we are embarking on a citywide movement to obtain input from
residents about how we can better serve you with the citywide
clean-up, as well as many other services. Please feel free to
submit comments or suggestions to the Mayor’s office, or send
me an email at [email protected].

Our Public Works Department is working on a master plan for the
City’s sewer and water systems. These master plans will identify
improvements that can be made to ensure more efficient ways
of providing sanitary sewer services and clean drinking water to
residents. The Storm Water Division seeks to enhance our quality
of life by preventing hazardous materials and other pollutants from
entering the storm drains and contaminating our streams and
rivers. The Storm Water Division works with State and County
representatives to ensure water quality.
South Salt Lake Mayor Cherie Wood presents Westminster College President
Brian Levin-Stankevich with the 2014 Promise Partner of the Year.
“Westminster College is a tremendous force for good in our Promise Programs. Both the Westminster students and the South Salt Lake youth
and families that have participated in this collaboration greatly benefited,”
says South Salt Lake Mayor Cherie Wood. “Over the past year, Westminster has shown up in force, day after day, to serve in our city. They have
planned and implemented new and ingenious ways for Westminster students and faculty to partner in every Promise South Salt Lake afterschool
program and every Neighborhood Center.”

South Salt Lake Drug Take Back Event
On Saturday, April 26 from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. the South Salt Lake Police Department, along with the South Salt Lake Coalition for
Drug Free Youth and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), will provide South Salt Lake families an opportunity to drop off their
unused prescription and over-the-counter drugs for disposal at Rite Aid on 3300 South 700 East. This drive-up/drop-off service is free
and anonymous.

“This initiative addresses a vital public safety and public health issue,” says Rob Timmerman, Director of South Salt Lake Coalition for
Drug Free Youth. “Medicines that are left and forgotten in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse, and abuse. Rates
of prescription drug abuse in the U.S. are alarmingly high, as are the number of accidental poisonings and overdoses due to these
drugs. Studies show that a majority of abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends, including from the home medicine
cabinet. In addition, Americans are now advised not to dipose of medications by flushing them down the toilet or throwing them in the
trash—both pose potential safety and health hazards.”
Volunteers from the South Salt Lake Coalition for Drug Free Youth will be on hand to help
facilitate the take-back event. Pharmacy students from the University of Utah will sort
returned medication in groups of prescription narcotic, prescription non-narcotic, and
over-the counter (OTC). The medication will then be transported by the DEA for incineration.

Last October, Utah turned in nearly 4,500 pounds of prescription drugs at
59 sites operated by the DEA and its state and local law enforcement
partners. In its seven previous Take Back events, DEA and its partners took in over 3.4 million pounds—more than 1,700 tons—of
pills nationwide.

National Water Week 2014:
Join South Salt Lake in Observance through Water Conservation Tips
Information Provided by National Geographic
National Water Week begins Monday, April 7, 2014. To observe this week of water awareness,
On the Move has provided the following water conservation tips from National Geographic.
Water Conservation Tips
Toilets, Taps, Showers, and Laundry
• On average, 10 gallons per day of
your water footprint (or 14% of your
indoor use) is lost to leaks. Short of
installing new water-efficient fixtures,
one of the easiest, most effective
ways to cut your footprint is by
repairing leaky faucets and toilets.
• Every time you shave minutes off
your use of hot water, you also save
energy and keep dollars in your
pocket.
• It takes about 70 gallons of water
to fill a bathtub, so showers are
generally the more water-efficient
way to bathe.
• All of those flushes can add up to
nearly 20 gallons a day down the
toilet. If you still have a standard
toilet, which uses close to 3.5 gallons
a flush, you can save by retrofitting
or filling your tank with something
that will displace some of that water,
such as a brick.
• Nearly 22% of indoor home water
use comes from doing laundry. Save
water by making sure to adjust the
settings on your machine to the
proper load size.
Yards and Climate
• Nearly 60% of a person’s household
water footprint can go toward lawn
and garden maintenance.
• Climate counts—where you live
plays a role in how much water you
use, especially when it comes to
tending to a yard. Transportation and Fuel Economy
• Washing a car uses about 150
gallons of water, so by washing less
frequently you can cut back your
water use.
• A gallon of gasoline takes nearly 13
gallons of water to produce. Combine
your errands, car pool to work, or
take public transportation to reduce
both your energy and water use.
Industry—Apparel, Home Furnishings,
and Paper
• It takes about 100 gallons of water
to grow and process a single pound
of cotton, and the average American
goes through about 35 pounds of
new cotton material each year.
-Keep items that can catch on fire
at least three feet away from things
that get hot, such as space heaters.
-Never smoke in bed.
-Talk to children regularly about
the dangers of fire, matches and
lighters and keep them out of reach.
-Turn portable heaters off when you
leave the room or go to sleep.
Cooking Safely
•
•
One of the best ways to conserve
water is to buy recycled goods, and
to recycle your stuff when you’re
done with it; or, stick to buying what
you really need.
Recycling a pound of paper, less
than the weight of your average
newspaper, saves about 3.5 gallons
of water. Buying recycled paper
products saves water, too, as it takes
about six gallons of water to produce
a dollar’s worth of paper.
Information provided by Clemson University
1. Test your soil before applying fertilizer to your lawn - your lawn
may already have enough nutrients. Excess nutrients from excess
fertilizing ends up in our lakes and rivers leading to algae blooms
and fish kills. This tip can save you some green and keep the green
out of our ponds.
2. Pick up pet waste to keep it from contaminating water supplies.
You can flush the waste, bag it for trash, or build a doggie-loo (pet
waste septic system).
So, what can you do as a homeowner, pet owner, or car owner to
reduce stormwater pollution?
-If a fire occurs in your home, GET
OUT, STAY OUT and CALL for help.
-Install smoke alarms on every level
of your home, inside bedrooms
and outside sleeping areas. Test
them every month and replace the
batteries at least once a year.
-Talk with all household members
about a fire escape plan and
practice the plan twice a year.
Steps You Can Take
Now
We all Live Downstream: Taking Care of Our Stormwater
Stormwater pollution is the runoff that occurs from rain, irrigation
and snowmelt and everything that is picked up along the way as it
travels downhill to the nearest stream, river, lake and/or beach. This
runoff does not get treated, but goes straight to the waterways that
we use for fishing, bathing, and even drinking. What is picked up by
stormwater runoff is “people pollution” – fertilizers and pesticides,
motor oil, sand and dirt, pet waste, trash and so on. All of this can
amount to one dirty waterway. Since stormwater is “people pollution,” we all play a role in contributing to the problem as well as
fixing it!
Fire Prevention Tips
3. Wash your car on the lawn instead of the driveway to minimize
runoff into the storm drain and use low-phosphorus, biodegradable
soaps. Remember to check your car for leaks - these chemicals
wash off road surfaces into the waterway.
-Stay in the kitchen when frying,
grilling or broiling food. If you leave
the kitchen for even a short period
of time, turn off the stove.
-Stay in the home while simmering,
baking, roasting or boiling food.
Check it regularly and use a timer to
remind you that food is cooking.
-Keep anything that can catch fire—
like pot holders, towels, plastic and
clothing—away from the stove.
-Keep pets off cooking surfaces and
countertops to prevent them from
knocking things onto the burner.
Caution:
Carbon Monoxide
-Install carbon monoxide alarms in
central locations on every level of
your home and outside sleeping
areas.
-If the carbon monoxide alarm
sounds, move quickly to a fresh air
location outdoors or by an open
window or door.
-Never use a generator, grill, camp
stove or other gasoline, propane,
natural gas or charcoal-burning
devices inside a home, garage,
basement, crawlspace or any
partially enclosed area.
4. Bag grass clippings and leaves or use them as compost. Don’t
sweep them into the street or down storm drains as that leads to
nutrient issues and potential clogging and flooding.
5. Don’t over-water your lawn, doing so sends more pollutants into
nearby drains. Plus, your lawn only requires little more than an inch
of rain per week. A rain gauge will help you keep track of how much
rain your lawn is receiving.
Remember, we all live downstream.

South Salt Lake Youth Participate in Westminster College
“Women in Sports” Event
This March, Westminster College’s Student Government ASWC (Associated
Students of Westminster College) hosted 60 youth from the Woodrow Wilson
Community Center and Hser Ner Moo Community & Welcome Center to
participate in the “Women in Sports” event at Westminster College. “The Women in Sports event was a great opportunity and an empowering
experience for our girls, and we deeply appreciate the Westminster
partnership,” says Sarah Schafer, Site Supervisor at the Hser Ner Moo
Community and Welcome Center. “Our girls took part in the hip hop,
Zumba, and yoga classes. Zumba was by far the favorite, as the instructor
was skilled and the girls enjoyed the constant movement.”
Westminster ASWC gave an overview of life at Westminster College and
college life in general provided a campus tour to the South Salt Lake
youth. “We appreciate the exposure to college life that Women in Sports
day provided for the girls of our community,” says Schafer. “Girls are often
overlooked when resources are scarce, so I feel it is important to emphasize
all of the ways college is accessible to them as well as their brothers.”
South Salt Lake Utility Box Art Project
South Salt Lake Urban Livability Department’s Utility Box Art
Program adds vibrancy to South Salt Lake streetscapes and
partners with the Promise South Salt Lake Arts and Community
Council to unite the community through art.
The Utility Art Box Program was created to achieve the following
goals:
• Contribute to the vitality and attractiveness of the South Salt Lake streetscapes
• Provide places for public art
• Encourage the promotion of local artists
• Deter vandalism such as graffiti
Original artwork is scanned and sent to a local South Salt Lake
business to be printed and installed on the utility box. “Our Utility
Box Art Program was inspired by projects in Missoula, Montana;
Coeur d’Alene, Idaho; and Tampa, Florida,” says Glenn Smith,
South Salt Lake Urban Livability Director. “Today we are working

On Thursday, March 13, 2014 the Hispanic-Latino Rotary donated over 100 dictionaries to be handed
out to each student at Utah International Charter School (UICS). The UICS Interact Club is planning
to hand out these dictionaries to their fellow students and give a brief introduction on how the dictionaries can be used. The UICS Interact Club will be holding elections on Thursday, March 20, 2014 and
will finish the school year with a student lead service project. “We are so grateful for the partnership
and support the Hispanic-Latino Rotary Club has shown our UICS Interact Club and excited for the
many great things to come,” says Promise South Salt Lake Coordinator Kelli Meranda.

Conceptualized by President John F. Kennedy, the AmeriCorps VISTA program began in 1965 as Volunteers in Service to America. For over 40 years, VISTA members have transformed communities during
their year of service through capacity building assignments to improve the lives of neighbors and families.
South Salt Lake applied for and received four AmeriCorps VISTA members to build capacity in the areas
of health programming, health sustainability, intergenerational poverty, and economic opportunity. VISTA
members Sarah Couchon and Lauren Stone will complete their year of service at the end of April 2014.
Sarah Couchon
Sarah Couchon joined the South Salt Lake community from Narragansett, Rhode Island and recently earned her bachelors degrees in Biology
and Chemistry from Townson University in Maryland. “This past year
serving as an AmeriCorps VISTA in South Salt Lake has meant so much
to me,” says Couchon. “It has been an honor serving in such a welcoming community alongside employees and residents who are so passionate about their city, and who want the best for everyone. I was amazed at
all the great work that was done in only one year and I am excited to see
what other great things are to come for South Salt Lake.”
Lauren Stone
Lauren Stone traveled to South Salt Lake from Granite Bay, CA and attended college at Azusa University
in Azusa, CA. She joined the South Salt Lake community for her year of service to build capacity with the
Get Healthy South Salt Lake program. “I am so grateful to have been part of the South Salt Lake community this past year,” says Stone. “It has been a privilege to take part in both city traditions, like the Freedom
Festival, and new additions to the community, including the Write Here Writing Center at the Historic Scott
School. There is always something happening in South Salt Lake because people are vested in seeing
their visions become actions. Thank you for the honor of serving in such a dynamic community.”

Salt Lake Community College is a public, open access, comprehensive community college serving more than 60,000 students at 10
campuses throughout the Salt Lake Valley. Students complete associate degrees to transfer to 4-year institutions or move directly to the
workforce. Many certificate programs also provide pathways for students to enter the workforce in less than a year.
The new Center for Arts and Media (CAM) is located at the South City Campus. CAM
connects to the original South High School building (1931) that became a SLCC campus
in 1989. The center offers state-of-the-industry learning spaces and technology in a facility that has braided the South High School legacy throughout by repurposing the gymnasium floor and exposing the original brick in the art gallery. The 137,000 square-foot
center serves on an average 7,000 students as part of the School of Arts, Communication
and New Media to educate, train, and prepare students for careers in creative fields.
From left to right: Rachel Colledge, Salt Lake Community College Development Officer; Kari Cutler, Director of Promise South Salt Lake; Richard Scott, Interim
Dean, School of Arts, Communication, and New Media
at Salt Lake Community College.
“I believe it can change the landscape of how we in higher education nurture our students
toward either transferable degrees with our sister USUE institutions or the vibrant industry
within the digital disciplines,” says SLCC School of Arts, Communication and New Media Interim Dean Richard Scott. “A facility like this will enable us to provide world-class,
industry-standard experiences for the state’s digital student.”
