approving modifications to the term sheet for Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) Financing
Program with the Community Development Corporation of Utah (CDCU). The request

Salt Lake Mattress Company Building 30 min.
The Board will receive a briefing and consider options for incorporating the Salt Lake
Mattress Company building into the USA Climbing project. While the Board previously
approved terms for the disposition of CRA-owned property for USA Climbing’s
headquarters and national training center, further evaluation found the Mattress
Building would require additional structural reinforcement, increasing project costs to
$7.3 million. USA Climbing cannot absorb costs beyond the $6 million provided by the
CRA. As an alternative, USA Climbing proposed reconstructing the building using
concrete masonry block clad with the historic brick, which would require an additional
$250,000. The Board will discuss the $1.3 million funding gap, the historic brick
alternative, and other options.
