SLC Mayor Erin Mendenhall Takes the Roundtable Tuesday Q&A

It's been a while since we've had her on the show, so Risshan & Lara have lots of questions: Pride Month, city flags, budget, parks + more. Highlights of the Mayor's proposed Fiscal Year 2026 budget:

  • $5 million for creating more deeply affordable housing

  • $3.9 million for public safety initiatives, which will directly support the completion of seven more City actions outlined in the City’s Public Safety Plan

  • Creation of the Clean City Team, which will focus its  efforts around North Temple and the Jordan River Trail

  • $3 million for the first phase of the Green Loop, the Civic Center, which will transform 200 E between Library and Washington Squares

  • Modest rate increases to protect vital services like clean drinking water and waste and recycling management

  • Vision Zero safety improvements to Redwood Road, 900 West, and 800 South

Over the next few months, the City Council will meet weekly to review, discuss, and fine-tune this budget according to their priorities and public input. The final budget will be adopted by June 30.
