UTA and Salt Lake County each contributed $20,000 toward the project. The University is responsible for the operation and maintenance of the monitors. The parties are now planning to modify the agreement.

1. The Agreement will be renewed for a period of one year, from April 22, 2022, through April 21, 2023, as provided in Section 6(a) of the Agreement.
2. Salt Lake City Corporation is added as a Party to the Agreement.
3. “County will host a website housing and making available to the public air quality data analysis derived from the Project.” shall be deleted. Subsequent subsections will be renumbered accordingly.
4. A new Section 5 will be added to the Agreement as follows:
5. Salt Lake City Duties.
a. Financial contribution to the Project: $42,500, to be used for:
i. Personnel costs related to data analysis.
ii. Purchase of hardware and server needed to house Project data.
iii. Parts and hardware for air quality monitors, as needed.
iv. Website development.
b. City will develop a map, depicting Salt Lake County, for the real-time display of air quality data, including data from e-Buses, TRAX, and stationary monitors.
