\"The in between is Utah's only hospice and medical respite facility for individuals experiencing homelessness,\" Olmstead said. She explained the facility provides short‑term medical respite and end‑of‑life care and asked the committee for $500,000 to expand bed capacity from 50 to 80, upgrade mechanical systems and support staffing and supplies.

Olmstead told the panel the model reduces hospital stays and can save taxpayers significant sums. Presenters cited hospital‑utilization reductions and estimated that medical respite reduces hospital stays by 91%; they argued the In Between’s low cost and outcomes could save stakeholders millions annually relative to repeated inpatient care.

The committee viewed a short video describing the program’s work; presenters said the facility has helped more than 150 people at end of life and provided assistance to more than 800 additional patients through respite and supportive services.

Quetzalhirakis told the committee the church was built in 1924 and is listed on the National Register. \"The church was first built 100 years ago in 1924,\" he said, noting the congregation's historical presence in the Intermountain West and the building's Byzantine architecture.

Representatives explained that the March 2020 Magna earthquake produced damage at 158 unique spots and FEMA approved a restoration project in December 2021. Parish leaders said the overall renovation is estimated at $25 million to $35 million and the congregation was informed FEMA would cover roughly 90% of eligible costs under standard procedure; the outstanding local share prompted the $3,500,000 appropriation request submitted through Senator Cullimore.

Committee members asked about the congregation's willingness to contribute; parish representatives responded that the local congregation is prepared to raise and contribute funds and that the final cost range will be determined once construction crews begin detailed work and uncover the full scope of damage. The subcommittee did not take a vote during the presentation.","Parish representatives told the subcommittee the 1924 Greek Orthodox Cathedral suffered 158 distinct areas of damage in the 2020 Magna earthquake; FEMA will cover an estimated 90% of repair costs but the congregation requests $3.5 million to help cover the remainder.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6351002,"Sistema Utah seeks $250,000 one-time to bridge expiring federal grants and continue free youth music programming",247,1311940,1559070,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2231239-56444be6c05f7cf1a320a6d4e53ef486&start=1311&end=1559","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2231239-56444be6c05f7cf1a320a6d4e53ef486/thumbnail_1311940.jpg","/articles/6351002/Utah/Sistema-Utah-seeks-250000-one-time-to-bridge-expiring-federal-grants-and-continue-free-youth-music-programming","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6351002-eb60bb816b7b419351d0594e49aba964/orig.mp4?Expires=1775664284&Signature=S5-8tuyxbThtA4gQT~n6Xt7oE-Kyoi~D~txA5cZJYV1mltzR0Ikd50QrAd4GKz6fqjcZauVcwsWz-XucW9rRmRhUbYFBBiUtBhyycjE6rabjonfWfRFvF07m~6wniL~VJvX56K-VZ3eWEr0B8B~FmDgFJrTYi~7ARI0owP-Le8s0RXFA7tjyjiLuWjLKBfX5xqLJ-LUm8n3LYzdYAdeYosZXHjt~wlFZyJAdjzgleY2w2ya7HQtdQkOegASPLho7-5D6djoVZOAUMrsDvJZFGEKi94fElzEduO-SF-gj6UbGYOnHHSwa-GcOfU2wws03xAArbsKF2vbs2oQq5rQpYQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Trina Christiansen, co-director of Sistema Utah, and founder Howard Headley told the subcommittee that the after‑school program provides free, daily ensemble music instruction and wraparound supports to students and families and is now in transition as federal and state grants expire.

\"Systema Utah provides the following at no cost to students and families, group instrumental classes including access to instruments, singing and general music instruction, intensive homework and academic support, healthy snacks throughout instruction, 15 hours of programming per week,\" Trina Christiansen said, describing the program model. She told the committee the program serves 450 K–12 students across two sites, employs more than 30 teaching artists and staff, and serves families where 63% are below the federal poverty level.

Howard Headley, founder, said the program has relied on federal grants for 12 years and is now asking for a one‑time $250,000 appropriation while it re‑engineers funding sources. \"Our federal grant is expiring... we are here to ask for 1 time $250,000 1 time as we reengineer our funding mechanism to maintain this program,\" Headley said. Presenters said they have secured increased local funding and are pursuing private donations, but they want a bridge grant to avoid disrupting services.

Committee members asked clarifying questions about program operations and local support; a committee member who visited the program described it as impactful. The subcommittee did not take a formal action on the request during the session’s presentations.","Representatives for Sistema Utah told the subcommittee their federal and state grants are ending and the nonprofit requests a one-time $250,000 appropriation to maintain music, instrument and wraparound services for low-income students while it restructures long-term funding.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6351007,"Downtown Farmers Market asks subcommittee for $75,000 to cover Pioneer Park renovation and winter-market uncertainty",323,392020,715600,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2231239-56444be6c05f7cf1a320a6d4e53ef486&start=392&end=715","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2231239-56444be6c05f7cf1a320a6d4e53ef486/thumbnail_392020.jpg","/articles/6351007/Utah/Downtown-Farmers-Market-asks-subcommittee-for-75000-to-cover-Pioneer-Park-renovation-and-winter-market-uncertainty","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6351007-86cbece28374b753ebe83c86fa771325/orig.mp4?Expires=1775664284&Signature=J86-tHEgxO4tzLZonQos39Ma5md4xLYe56ll4FDq1UxatHnrRCmjpRkkUZdlfzgluUoErMH-5j1ZD9drNGAA9vMmcAiuXnRgXbb4Q0bti8YUhethexpUHhHzzxHiOvdxXf90jJkhGIZdOjXjfuSwboJnvEiEFuDis0KUBE3ZnHFzmSBgdSZ87TPEROzGxSOVZ8R4D9JRCf7CL9cuQLDCTyUNSs6i6iC1EYvZoo9XHHbztkbB3rNG9jbmWWAn0Ye962TIo2O-isWqvyV64BV6eNWyOEuRRKipB-WtTnSA9-sjrCqBPJ1U4hfsU2dZe02oiRnv7hHn6ojA0B7AjaI0CQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Carly Gillespie, director of Urban Food Connections of Utah, told the Economic and Community Development Appropriations Subcommittee that the Downtown Farmers Market at Pioneer Park is a statewide economic connector and requested one-time assistance for two specific needs.

\"We see 250,000 patrons each year,\" Gillespie said, describing the market’s scale and its network of more than 100 agricultural producers from 14 Utah counties and more than 300 total vendors who generate roughly $11,000,000 in direct-to-consumer sales annually. She said the market supports entrepreneurs, with a higher-than-average share of women- and minority-owned businesses using the market as a low‑barrier entry point.

Gillespie told the committee Pioneer Park will undergo renovations in 2026 and that the market must move to surrounding city streets during construction; staff estimated that change will increase the market’s 2026 operating budget by about $212,000. \"We're asking for $75,000 in this appropriation to help cover a portion of those costs,\" she said. She also asked for support to help secure a permanent winter-market venue, noting the current winter site is not guaranteed and asking for an additional $75,000 to help build a permanent public building in Pioneer Park to allow year‑round operations.

Gillespie said the market’s revenues are largely earned (vendor fees), not philanthropic, and that less than 20% of its annual budget comes from sponsorships and grants. Committee members did not pose substantive questions about the market’s economic numbers during the allotted time.

The market’s request is one-time and targeted to cover relocation and winter-market permanence costs tied to the Pioneer Park renovation timeline.","Urban Food Connections told the subcommittee that Salt Lake City’s Downtown Farmers Market, which draws roughly 250,000 patrons annually, needs $75,000 in one-time state support to offset increased costs when Pioneer Park is renovated and to help secure winter market permanence.",{"_33":113,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":114,"_41":115,"_43":116,"_45":117,"_47":118,"_49":119,"_51":120,"_53":121,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":122,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":123,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6351012,"Subcommittee reviews SB 8 fee bill; staff say most regulatory fees repeat annually",270,63380,333660,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2231239-56444be6c05f7cf1a320a6d4e53ef486&start=63&end=333","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2231239-56444be6c05f7cf1a320a6d4e53ef486/thumbnail_63380.jpg","/articles/6351012/Utah/Subcommittee-reviews-SB-8-fee-bill-staff-say-most-regulatory-fees-repeat-annually","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6351012-c2fccda58f3f94df2017df56d00b9698/orig.mp4?Expires=1775664284&Signature=HJax1imgQJb74xY-qXQRDahy~W3JLgPo24AEXHqo8ankxFgb-FzlUkFcO2QxC71KnVtNsj2OZt-FEa2a6F8rzIE5Elc22B-mI5Vc6e9Sei0UgP0sdJLZdpRN4UfpJQp1SKo~z4EgepTmOTDY0FsX2BTzC1bZSrX12NiqVq7FkSCKk9IlagNt73IbNl9ATjJAnZa4gWKj~ZqHxJ3~-oUrtIsC07cVgjM89tTRfwTsc7SqyDG9KQXybHjNlbxHmlmlSTUbknvzvU2OSUsbhv3oPrQKkq5mCZvC-knmSuKmSLmfgVzrMYqYc~drdJeDkhRrEqCu1SsJkW7s45YVGgEkfA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Economic and Community Development Appropriations Subcommittee heard staff presentations on the annual fee bill, SB 8, during its Feb. 5 meeting.

Gary Sipes, a committee staff member, told the panel there are two categories of fees: those set in statute (which require a separate policy bill to change) and regulatory fees included in the annual fee bill that agencies may adjust by administrative rule. \"There are 2 categories of fees, fees that are in statute, that you'd have to actually run a specific policy bill to change,\" Sipes said. He described the regulatory fees as the ones the committee reviews and votes on each year.

Program analyst Joshua (Josh) summarized agency-specific changes planned this year. He said the Office of Museum Services (CCE) included a placeholder one‑time $15,000,000 revenue figure tied to an anticipated retail/store operation for a museum; staff described that amount as an initial, high estimate that would be reduced as agencies refine projections. Josh also described modest increases at the Department of Workforce Services for booth fees and a small fee reduction at the Department of Cultural and Community Engagement for services such as faxing, which the agency says are largely obsolete.

The subcommittee did not take a formal vote on the fee bill during the presentation; staff described the process the committee will follow to review and then approve regulatory fees in SB 8. Committee chairs and members asked few clarifying questions during the presentation and moved on to RFA presentations on the agenda.

The fee bill coverage identifies where fees appear in the printed bill (SB 8, starting at page 234). Staff repeatedly emphasized that statutory fees (for example, a concealed weapons permit fee) are not changed through the annual fee bill and require separate legislation.

A final committee review and vote on SB 8's regulatory fees will follow the staff briefings and agency justification materials that the subcommittee will continue to consider in this appropriations cycle.","Staff described two categories of fees in SB 8 and flagged a small number of proposed changes for 2025, including a large placeholder number for a museum sales projection and modest adjustments tied to inflation or eliminated services.","actionData","errors"]
