Summary

The motion passed on a voice/roll call vote with six affirmative responses and no recorded opposition.
South Salt Lake ——City Council members voted Sept. 10 to adopt an ordinance amending chapters 13.25, 13.76, 13.78, 13.79 and 13.8 of the city code to align local rules with changes in stormwater law and the city——s municipal separate stormwater system permit.
Public Works staff member Portby Talbot told the council the updates respond to "stormwater, some rules and some laws have changed," and recommended the changes to ensure compliance with the city's MS4 permit. Clarissa moved to adopt the ordinance; Leanne seconded the motion. The council proceeded to a roll call beginning with Council Member Ray; the motion passed with six affirmative responses and no recorded no votes.
The ordinance language presented to the council amends the specific code chapters listed above to reflect "legislative developments" and to ensure the city remains compliant with requirements tied to its municipal separate stormwater system permit. Portby Talbot described the update as a technical and regulatory alignment rather than a policy overhaul.
