Salt Lake County residents would see funding for a new arts center, raises for county employees and a continuation of free rec center passes for kids if the mayor’s proposed 2025 budget is adopted.
Salt Lake County Mayor Jenny Wilson’s proposed $2 billion budget wouldn’t raise taxes, despite a slowdown in tax revenue.
Despite a slowdown in tax revenue, Wilson told County Council members last month, residents won’t face any proposed tax hikes associated with the “fiscally conservative” $2 billion budget. The new arts facility would be the third in Salt Lake County, and is slated to include an 800-seat theater to be constructed by 2026 or 2027, Wilson said. The center would contribute to the county’s goal to have a regional performing arts center in each of the Salt Lake Valley’s quadrants, she added.
Wilson’s budget also calls for funding employee raises, including pay bumps of 4.75% for police officers and 3.5% for other employees., but that spending relied on voters embracing a half-billion-dollar bond for public safety, homelessness solutions and criminal justice reform in. As of 2 p.m. Monday, the bond was trailing, with 51.6% of voters who weighed in on it opposing the measure.
