World Changers
In partnership with Salt Lake City and the World Changer organization, the City of South Salt Lake is preparing for our 4th annual neighborhood restoration event. Beginning July 12th through July 17th, 2010, youth volunteers from around the nation will travel to South Salt Lake to help improve the low-income homes in the community. As a result of this project, we are looking for owner-occupied homes in South Salt Lake that are in need of some minor rehabilitation, in the form of roofing, paint, wheelchair ramps, landscape cleanup, and other exterior refurbishment work. There will be no expense to the home owner and the labor will be provided by the World Changers volunteers, primarily YOUTH. This project will be associated with our Neighborhood Revitalization Program that we currently fund through the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG.) To determine if you are eligible to participate in this program, compare your entire household’s income with the income limits on the information packet. All applicants must include current income verifications as described below, and be signed and dated by the applicant. The application must be completed in full and returned to the Housing/Finance Department, in City Hall, no later than February 26th, 2010. To download the application form, click here.
Chief Chris Snyder Graduates from the FBI National Academy
On December 11, 2009 two hundred sixty-six law enforcement officers, including South Salt Lake Police Chief Chris Snyder, graduated from the FBI National Academy Program at Quantico, Virginia. The 239th Session of the National Academy consisted of men and women from 49 states, 27 international countries, four military organizations, and five federal civilian organizations. Internationally known for its academic excellence, the National Academy Program, held at the FBI academy, offers 11 weeks of advanced investigative, management, leadership, legal, and fitness training to select officers. On average, these officers have 19 years of law enforcement experience. FBI Director Robert Mueller was the principal speaker at the ceremony. Training for the program was provided by FBI Academy instructional staff, Special Agents, and other staff members holding advanced degrees, many of whom are recognized internationally in their fields of expertise. Since 1972, National Academy students have been able to earn undergraduate and graduate credits from the University of Virginia due to the accreditation by the university of the many courses offered. A total of 43,230 graduates now represent the FBI National Academy since it began in July 1935. Of this number, approximately 25, 718 are still active in law enforcement work. Chief Snyder applied in 2004 to attend and is the 5th officer of the South Salt Lake Police Department to graduate from the National Academy. The 239th Session started September 27, 2009. Annually, the State of Utah sends eight officers to the National Academy, two officers attend each session. There are four sessions held throughout the year.
Legal Notice – City of South Salt Lake
The City of South Salt Lake is replacing Paul Workman Field (Workman), a park improved using a Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) grant, with a new park facility at the former Woodrow Wilson Elementary School property (Wilson). The conversion must be approved by the Secretary of the Department of the Interior, acting through the National Park Service (NPS) and at the request of the state delegate (Utah State Parks). In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act, an Environmental Assessment (EA) has been completed to provide an evaluation sufficient for the Secretary to determine whether the conversion and replacement would have adverse impacts significant enough to require the preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS).

The purpose of the EA is to explain the whole conversion of Workman, located at approximately 2350 South 900 West in South Salt Lake City, Utah, to Wilson, located at 2825 South 200 East in South Salt Lake City, Utah. The new park will include restrooms, play areas, multi-use sport fields, and other recreational uses. A public outreach process separate from the EA is underway to involve the community in prioritizing desired amenities for Wilson.
