25 Sep SH LUZ REPORT 2023 October
DO YOU EVER WONDER HOW TO COMMUNICATE WITH THE CITY?
Check out this website www.myslc.gov. You can ask questions of most every department in the city and if you don’t know who to ask, use the link at the bottom to send a general question.
DO YOU SEE A PROBLEM? BE SURE TO FOLLOW UP
Maybe you are driving, or walking and see a problem, like a yard full of junk, or a street sign that is broken, or remodeling without a permit. The app SLCMOBILE can be put on your phone. When you see an issue, take a photo or two, and send a comment and your name along with the photo to the city using the app. The city can pinpoint the issue from the gps on the photo, and forward the problem on to the proper department to fix the issue. If you get a response in a bit that says “completed” that means they have forwarded it on to the right person, that does not mean the issue is cleared up. Be sure to keep tabs and bug the city if it doesn’t get corrected.

- Please send your comments on this one to [email protected]. The LUZ committee is working in pairs to study these and try to make sense out of them and needs your feedback.
- Child Daycare and Home Daycare is being reviewed, you can read about it here: https://sugarhousecouncil.org/child-daycare-and-home-daycares/
- Salt Lake City is short 20,000 spots for children who need daycare, so they have been working with the state to get the approval process less onerous, less expansive and less time consuming to try to get more daycare facilities up and running. Please send your commends to [email protected], as we have to write our letter this week.
The next meeting of the LUZ will be October 16 at 6 p.m.
