Uhh $41 li-2008 USA sau zoo: QS29 Data: March 2, 2000 To: SLOC Board of Directors From: Mitt Romney Subject: Olympic legacy Park Policies As you will recall, we discussed at our last board meeting the creation of att Olympic legacy park at the Gateway development. Specifically, the developer has offered to provide and we have agreed to accept the construction ofa plaza, wall of honor, llagpoles, and a fountain. lt is our expectation that we will offer bricks for sale to the public. These bricks will be engraved with names and installed at the plaza. Because the developer has agreed to donate the bricks and install them, most ofthe proceeds from the sale of bricks can be used to meet budgeted Games costs. We will probably approach businesses to sell larger paving elements, groups of bricks, or flagpoles. Qg We have been approached by other cities and towns to ask whether we would approve the construction of Olympic legacy parks in their communities. We would like the Board of Directors to consider the following policy recommendations for such park proposals: iw location. its architectural character, and its scale. These, ofcourse, are subjective elements, but nevertheless important. 2. Funding for an additional plaza would need to como from sources which do not ln any way Any proposed park would need to satisfy SLOC and the USOC with regards to the prominence of impair SLOC's ability to rolsc funds through the sale ol' bricks or tlu-ough contributions. Because bricks sold for the Salt Lake plaza generate funds which are budget relieving, we do not want similar brick programs used to limd the construction ofplazas. Non-competitive funding sources mi8l1\ lU?lUdC city litnds, association lirnds, contributions from local businesses, larger scale contributions from individuals (over etc. These sources would need to be reviewed and approved by saoc and the usoc. lt is understandable that communities outside of Salt Lake City would question why SLOC and the USOC would choose to restrict local fundraising for local legacy parks. Simply, we wish to reserve the Olympic marks and associations for raising funds for the Games budget and the US Olympic Team. A legacy park is a "nice to have" feature but it is not a core priority. The feature of the Salt I-aka/Gateway plaza which matter it rl core priority is the fact that ia costs are being fully UOMW UW developer allowing SLCC to solicit contributions which fully offset our budget. so udsazso eros SE 'lor esac-55:5-stsL-lClH
