Summary
At its April 8 meeting the Salt Lake County Council gave final approval to an ordinance allowing separate metering for detached accessory dwelling units, approved a 96‑acre annexation to Cottonwood Heights and passed several budget and personnel adjustments and extensions.
The Salt Lake County Council on April 8 gave final approval to an ordinance that allows separate utility metering for detached accessory dwelling units (ADUs), approved a citizen‑sponsored 96‑acre annexation into Cottonwood Heights, and passed several routine budget and personnel adjustments.
The council approved the final adoption of an ordinance amending section 19.15.140 of the Salt Lake County Code of Ordinances to permit separate metering for detached ADUs. The ordinance was sponsored by Council Member Suzanne Harrison and a co-sponsor; council members voted by voice and the motion passed. The transcript records a voice vote in favor but does not provide a roll call tally.
The council also approved the Tavace annexation, a citizen‑sponsored annexation that transfers roughly 96 acres of unincorporated county land into Cottonwood Heights. The motion to approve the annexation was made by Council Member Pinkney and seconded by Council Member Moreno; the motion passed by voice vote. Presenters said the annexation contains a peninsula that provides access to a Salt Lake City Public Utilities water tank and that the affected roads within the development are private.
Other actions taken in the meeting included: - Approval of consent items 4.1–7.1, including council minutes from March 25 (voice vote; recorded as passed). - Approval of an incentive plan extension for the Health Department: an extension of an incentive previously authorized at up to $3,000 to continue through June, bringing the total to $5,000 this fiscal year for the senior health informaticist position supporting CDC data modernization initiatives (mover/second not specified; voice vote; passed). - Technical year‑end appropriation adjustments requested by the district attorney’s office transferring funds to comply with GASB 87 and GASB 96 requirements, including $42,000 moved to debt service for lease payments to the YWCA for the Children’s Justice Center North and about $378,000 for Axon software (voice vote; passed). - Post‑year‑end budget adjustments grouped as items 8.4–8.6 to account for software compliance under GASB 96: $23,000 for ZuBeam (libraries); about $319,000 for Payscale (human resources); and $70,000 for the Saba learning platform (mayor’s finance) (motion to approve all three items passed by voice vote).
Where the transcript records only voice votes, no numeric roll‑call tallies were provided. Motions that included named movers/seconders are recorded above; where a mover or seconder was not specified in the verbal record, the meeting minutes show a motion and second and a voice vote in favor.
