Midvale staff brief council on state data-privacy deadlines and propose due-process fix for emergency abatement
Summary
City staff briefed the council on Utah's Government Data Privacy Act compliance deadlines and proposed a code amendment to Title 7 to require notice and a right to a hearing in emergency abatement cases to protect due-process rights.
City staff used the Dec. 2 meeting to brief the council on two procedural compliance items: the Utah State Government Data Privacy Act and a proposed amendment to the city’s emergency-abatement code to ensure due-process protections.
Rori Andreason, HR Director and City Recorder, outlined program requirements and upcoming compliance due dates for the Utah State Government Data Privacy Act, noting the city must adopt processes to meet the statute’s timelines. Daniel Van Beuge described a proposed text amendment to Title 7, Chapter 04 (Emergency Abatement) after staff discovered the current chapter lacks an explicit notice requirement. "Due process requires three things: notice, the opportunity to be heard, and a decision by a neutral decision-maker," Van Beuge said, and the amendment would add notice and a requirement to inform responsible parties of their right to a hearing. Mayor Gettel indicated the item will return as an action item on a future agenda.
