Council agenda includes proposed amendments to City Council Rules of Procedure
Summary
The April 29 agenda includes a resolution to adopt amended Council Rules of Procedure (Exhibit A) covering meeting conduct, the Dignity Index, closed meeting rules, ethics and sanctions, and packet delivery timelines.
A resolution on the April 29 agenda would adopt amended South Salt Lake City Council Rules of Procedure as shown in Exhibit A. The proposed rules restate that the Council has not adopted the formality of Robert’s Rules of Order but that the council follows a tailored procedure; they define the Conducting Council Member role, how a 2/3 vote is calculated based on attendance, and detailed procedures for public hearings and closed meetings under Utah law.
Exhibit A adds a Code of Conduct section including a Dignity Index for decorum, a range of potential sanctions for violations (from counseling and censure to suspension of duties and removal from leadership roles), guidance on council interactions with staff, and logistics such as packet delivery timelines and IT resource policies. The agenda text does not include a recorded vote on adoption in the provided excerpt.
