BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
Salt Lake County, Salt Lake City, and the Redevelopment Agency of Salt Lake City entered into

Utah Performing Arts Center Agency (“UPACA”). UPACA was established to acquire, construct,
own, operate, and maintain the Utah Performing Arts Center in Salt Lake City, now known as
the George S. and Dolores Doré Eccles Theater (“Eccles Theater”).
In October 2014, the City hired Katherine Potter as a full-time Senior Advisor in the Mayor’s
Office for Arts and Cultural Programs. One of the primary responsibilities of this position is to
act as the Executive Director of UPACA and to manage aspects of the Eccles Theater. The City
has requested a contribution from the County to offset a portion of the Executive Director’s
A
compensation. The County Council appropriated TRCC Funds in the amount of $12,500 for this
purpose as part of an interim budget adjustment to the 2015 Budget.
An interlocal agreement has been drafted to memorialize this transfer of funds. The interlocal
agreement and associated resolution are attached to this transmittal.
PUBLIC PROCESS:
These funds were appropriated by Salt Lake County’s TRCC Advisory Board.
