Speaker Highlights
Wednesday Lunch
Doris Kearns Goodwin
Doris
Kearns
Goodwin
Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Doris Kearns Goodwin is best
known for her eloquent ability to share the talents, skills and human
failings of the leaders and presidents who have formed this nation.
Those who attended our 2008 Annual Conference may remember
that Ms. Goodwin was our opening keynote speaker at that event,
sharing details from her best-seller, Team of Rivals: The Political
Genius of Abraham Lincoln. When she visits with us in September
we’ve asked her to share stories and insights from her ongoing
research and writing of her next book about the progressive era
focusing on Presidents Theodore Roosevelt, William Taft and the
golden age of journalism, which will be published in 2012. Ms.
Goodwin has a reputation for providing trenchant, informed, and
enthralling commentary on current events by demonstrating how
history has answered similar questions. With a deft wit and an
uncanny ability to weave stories that put you "right in the room"
as history occurs, Goodwin offers extraordinary insight into the
lives of the leaders who have shaped the United States. She is the
author of several best-selling books and won the Pulitzer Prize for
No Ordinary Time: Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt: The Home Front
in World War II. She is the person many turn to for a keen historical
perspective on political and current events. The film version of her
book Team of Rivals is being produced by Steven Spielberg and is set
for release in 2012.

Special Events
Wednesday Morning: Preconference Workshop
8:30 - 11:30 Leadership During Challenging Economic Times
One of the most challenging situations currently facing local elected
officials is leading effectively during strained economic times. In this
extended workshop you’ll learn how to provide successful leadership
during hard times by focusing on result-driven goals with a realistic action
plan. You’ll also learn strategies to refocus the mission of the city with its
service priorities, and how to streamline a process that produces results,
adds value to the community, and creates a sustainable community
environment. (There is no additional cost for this special event.)
Instructor: Lyle Sumek, President, Sumek and Associates
Thursday: Smaller City Focus
How Can Small Cities Be Cool and Compete in the Global Economy?
“Cool Cities” has increasingly become a buzz-word among both
community and economic development practitioners. It’s pretty
cool to be a cool small city and Utah has a number of them. So what
makes a city “cool”? David Ivan has been studying this issue for
many years, visiting over 250 small cities in the process, and will
share his research with us on Thursday, September 15. In these
workshops he’ll talk about the results and best practices that will resonate with community leaders from our smaller cities (that’s most
of you), leaving you to say “Hey, why didn’t I think of that?” He’ll
discuss the core values that youth and residents seek in a community
as a future place to live, work, and play and you'll learn about trends
and opportunities that can impact the future of your community.
This is a two-part presentation; the first will be Thursday morning
and the second Thursday afternoon.
Presenter: David Ivan, Community and Economic Development Specialist,
Michigan State University
Friday Morning: Annual Business Session
Our annual business session will be held Friday morning, September 16th from 8:00-11:00 a.m. Yes, it’s a bit
long, but during that time we will cover a number of critical issues that we think are important for all to hear.
The primary purpose of this meeting is discuss ULCT policy that will become part of our 2012 legislative
agenda. We will review and vote on any policy resolutions from members during this time.
For the remainder of the session we’ll focus on some very critical topics for all local officials. University of
Utah research economist Pam Perlich has dissected the 2010 Census and will describe what it tells us about
Utah today and what it likely means for the future. Dr. Chris Nelson will paint a picture of growth in Utah
based on his detailed work in growth projections. Andrew Gruber from Wasatch Front Regional Council will
describe how his organization, and AOGs around the state, can partner with local governments to manage the
changes ahead. We encourage you to bring along your 94 oz. “cup” of hot or cold caffeine, get comfortable,
and become informed.
Nominations to the ULCT Board
At the Annual Convention each year several vacancies on the League’s board of directors are filled
with new members. If you have a desire to serve on the board, or know someone who might, please
watch for the nomination documents that were sent to each city in early July. Any mayor or council
member from a dues paying member city or town is eligible to be nominated and to nominate. If
you have questions about this process, please contact Lincoln Shurtz at the League office: (801)
328-1601 or (800) 852-8528 or [email protected]. Nominations are due by September 1, 2011.

orkshops Worksh
Workshops Gone Wild!
Have We Got a Workshop Format for You!
After doing this for 104 years we’ve determined the following: Utah’s local officials don’t all think alike (but
almost), don’t all look alike (but there are resemblances), and they don’t learn alike (as hard as we’ve tried to
make them). So every few years we add a new workshop format to the conference agenda, thinking that presenting
information in a different way might be more effective, and it often is. But this year we’ve gone extreme! We’ve
added two new formats, retooled another, and we think/hope/pray that you’ll reap the benefits. Here are the
formats on tap:
Single Topic Workshops
Nothing mysterious here. Some topics are complex and require plenty of time to explain. We’ll offer several
workshops in this format, but far fewer than we’ve ever had before.
Get to the Point!
If you don’t want all the details, but just the bullet points, then our now-famous Get to the Point (GTTP) session
will make you very happy. We gave this format a trial run at our Midyear Conference and it was a hit. So we’re
throwing caution to the wind and hosting multiple GTTP sessions at this conference. This is how it works: seven
presenters each have 6:40 to talk about their topic. During this 6:40 of fame and glory they will use 20 PowerPoint
slides and have only 20 seconds to talk about each one (yes, the slides will be on a timer), and just when they are
about to hyperventilate, their time will expire, you will applaud (no obligatory Utah standing ovations allowed)
and then it’s on to the next presenter! It moves fast, it’s fun, and best of all it’s informative! Look for “GTTP” on
the agenda.
One Hour, Multiple Topics Workshops
There are some topics that might need a bit more than 6:40 to explain, but don’t require the entire hour. These
topics will be accommodated in workshops in which we have two, and sometimes three, presenters in the same
session, sharing the time equally but presenting on topics that are different, but related. Again, more bang for your
buck, at no extra cost!
Roundtable Workshops
Back by popular demand for the fourth consecutive year, the roundtable session provides an opportunity to gather
information quickly. It’s like speed dating, without the awkwardness. During this session you’ll have a chance to
rotate to three different tables, spending about 20 minutes at each, hearing a short presentation from someone
whom we hope knows more about each topic than you do. By the end of the session you’ll be three times smarter
than you were at the start of the session.
Mobile Workshop
This year we’re offering one mobile tour on Thursday, September 15th for those who want to get away from the
conference for a few hours and see a few projects in local communities. The description of the tour follows below.
The bus will depart at 7:45 a.m. and will return by 9:30 a.m. Space is limited to 35 people and we encourage you to
preregister. On-site registration will only be available if there is space. The tour will be canceled if we don’t have at
least 10 preregistrations.
Mixed Use Development in Two Sizes:
Mixed use development is long past the fad stage and now quite common in many communities. Most of these
developments have been successful while some have been otherwise. On this tour we’ll visit two very different
mixed use projects, one in Bountiful that is quite small, and the other in Farmington that is on the larger end of
the spectrum and adjacent to a stop on the FrontRunner line. Find out how each project was envisioned, what
worked, what did not, and what city leaders might do differently if they had the chance to take a mulligan.
The Q&A Cafe
Sometimes to truly understand a topic you just need to sit down and have a conversation with someone who knows
more about it than you do. That’s why we have the Q&A Café, a place to talk and exchange ideas with experts and
other municipal officials. The café’s menu will include a number of savory topics served up by creative “chefs,”
and not one of them will use a PowerPoint presentation. The topics for the café are not listed on the agenda in this
newsletter because we’re still figuring what we want to serve, so to speak. Throughout the summer we’ll be working
on the café’s menu of topics and by the time September 14th rolls around, we’ll be ready for business.

What's on the Agenda
T e n tat i v e A g e n da
This is the tentative agenda, which means it’s not final, but it’s close. And while we think it’s
already pretty great in its tentative form, that won’t stop us from trying to make it even better.
Some workshops may disappear, get new titles, or shift to different times. We’ll send the final
agenda to conference registrants about one week before the conference begins.

DAVID BLAINE
Entertainment
Friday Evening
David Blaine has redefined magic around the world with his unique
brand of intimate, closeup magic. His deceptively low-key, ultra-cool
manner leaves spectators more amazed than if he'd razzle-dazzled them.
It’s been said that “he’s taken a craft that's been around for hundreds of
years and done something unique and fresh with it."
But it’s not just the magic that has made him one of the most unique
performers in the world. He has also gained notoriety for his high-profile
feats that have set new boundaries of human endurance. In 1999, Blaine
was buried alive for seven days and seven nights. A few years later, in the
middle of Times Square, he was encased in a six-ton block of ice for three
days and nights. In 2002, he stood atop a 100-foot pillar in the middle of
New York’s Bryant Park without a safety net for 36 hours. The following
year he survived on only water for 44 days and 44 nights in a Plexiglas
box dangling over River Thames in London. Let’s not forget that in 2006,
Blaine was submerged in a glass sphere in New York’s Lincoln Center for
seven days and seven nights. And most recently in 2008, on the Oprah
Winfrey show no less, Blaine held his breath underwater for 17 minutes
and 4.4 seconds to set the new world record. On September 16, 2011,
Mr. Blaine will attempt to set the record for mesmerizing a roomful
of Utah’s local officials who otherwise don’t think anything will ever
mesmerize them. This might be his biggest challenge ever, but we think he
has a shot!
Blaine has been the special guest performer for President Bill Clinton
and Hillary Clinton, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, Mayor Michael
Bloomberg, Henry Kissinger, Bill Gates, Lance Armstrong, Donald
Rumsfeld, Prime Minister Gordon Brown, Larry Page, Sergey Brin,
Muhammad Ali, and soon, the Utah League of Cities and Towns.
Wednesday Evening
DUELING PIANOS
After the workshops end on Wednesday afternoon we hope you’ll download the day’s highlights with
your colleagues over dinner in one of the many great restaurants in downtown Salt Lake City. But
don’t linger too long over dinner and get yourself back to the hotel by 8 o’clock because that’s when
the duel begins! Two dueling pianists will do their best to belt out more blasts from the past than
Casey Kasem could in his Saturday countdown. These guys have a repertoire of songs that span many
decades and they’ll challenge you to name a song that they can’t play. Yes, they’ll know
“Freebird”! Oh, and don’t order dessert after dinner because we’ll have a huge selection
of scrumptious sweets that you can enjoy while you watch the duel.

2011 Essay Contest Winners
Sponsored by Energy Solutions
The winners in the 2011 essay contest represent a cross section of our state’s urban and rural
communities. Wherever they live, kids will let us know how they feel about their home turf.
If elected leaders ever get depressed about how overwhelming it is to make progress in a
community, they need to talk to the kids. They have a way of seeing the good in a community.
The following students are this year’s award winners:

Partner's Program
For those members bringing along a spouse or a significant
other, we’ll be providing a special agenda just for them, like
we always do. The partner’s agenda is still coming together,
but so far it includes a keynote presentation from former KSL
and KTVX anchor Ruth Todd, topical workshops, a visit to
the illusionary world, and maybe even hula hooping; yes, hula
hooping. We have a great core group of spouses who enjoy this
annual opportunity to see old friends and create new ones, and
we particularly love it when new folks join in the fun.
