Salt Lake City Mayor Erin Mendenhall proposes property tax increase, backs bond for green space expansion
SALT LAKE CITY — Mayor Erin Mendenhall presented her proposed budget to the city council, proposing a small property tax increase but also expanded spending to address housing and homelessness, public safety and lending her support to a bond for expanded green space.
Her speech noted the growth in economy, population and inflation and the increased demand for city services. The mayor lent her support to an $80 million green space bond to be placed before voters this fall, pointing out the increased demand for parks and open space since the COVID-19 pandemic. "Inflation, increased labor costs, and most notably — the stunning increase in demand for city services — has led me through careful consideration to request your support for a property tax increase, equivalent to about $10 dollars on the median-priced home in Salt Lake City," she said.
