Council moves several ordinances and the county hazard mitigation plan to Aug. 27 meeting for further review
Summary
Council voted to move consideration of the Salt Lake County multi-jurisdictional hazard mitigation plan and several fee/ordinance updates (surplus property, animal services fees, parks/community center fees) to the next regular meeting on Aug. 27.
At the Aug. 13 meeting the South Salt Lake City Council moved multiple agenda items to the council’s next regular meeting on Aug. 27 for additional review.
Yasmin, the city emergency manager, introduced a resolution to adopt the updated Salt Lake County multi-jurisdictional hazard mitigation plan along with a South Salt Lake annex. Yasmin said the plan is required under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act to maintain eligibility for certain federal grants and public assistance. Staff said the county completed the plan in April 2025 and submitted it to the state and FEMA; council moved the item to Aug. 27 noting that FEMA may request minor legal edits and the city wanted additional time for review.
Sharon and other staff presented an ordinance to update chapter 3.16 of the municipal code addressing disposal of surplus property; staff said the code had not been updated since the 1990s, that responsibility would shift toward the purchasing agent/city recorder, and that the draft seeks to modernize and streamline processes. Council moved the ordinance to the next meeting.
Staff also presented proposed changes to the animal services fee schedule and to parks and community center fees. Staff said the animal services changes eliminate or reduce some fees, align citations with other code sections, and remove direct euthanasia/cremation services from the shelter’s responsibilities; nuisance-animal responses and microchipping and sterilization practices were discussed. Parks staff said they removed some rental inventory (for example, athletic fields and the Scott School art studio) and added an audiovisual tech support fee; that item was also moved to the next meeting.
Motions to move the items were made by councilmembers Charlotte and Ray (and others) and were seconded; roll call approvals to move the items were recorded in the meeting minutes as motions carried to unfinished business on Aug. 27.
