What do you think of the Council philosophy statement for Arts and Culture in SLC? 

The Salt Lake City Council has established seven priority areas to be the legislative focus for the City – with the goal that these areas will guide City budget, land use, economic development and overall policy.  Following the Council Member’s most recent retreat, they drafted “Philosophy Statements” for each of these areas, for review and refinement in order to more permanently establish the Council’s vision and values as they relate to each of these areas. The seven priority areas identified so far are:        

• Economic Health of the City    
• Arts & Culture
• Neighborhood Quality of Life
• Transportation & Mobility
• Parks & Open Space
• Sustainability
• Education                             

In the months ahead, the Council will go through each of these statements in a work session format, and will then solicit public comment.  After a public comment period and public hearing, the Council will consider adopting these statements by resolution, so that they can be formally included in City policy. Once they are all adopted they may become a comprehensive policy document to help guide the City in its future growth. The Council is using the online forum Open City Hall as one of the ways to collect input of the draft philosophy statements on each topic.
