BRIEFING SESSION
Linda Hamilton, Executive Director, briefed the Council on the evening’s agenda. She told Council Members that an ordinance adding Section 42-6-5.1 to the Revised Ordinances of Salt Lake City, Utah, relating to surety bonds for subdivision public improvements was the subdivision bond ordinance which was discussed in Committee of the Whole in August.
Ms. Hamilton told the Council that amendment of Chapter 5 of Title 5 of the Revised Ordinances of Salt Lake City, Utah, enhancing enforcement of the ordinance by clarifying the intent of keeping the streets of Salt Lake City clean would enable city engineers inspecting construction sites to enforce the ordinance.
Christine Richman, Council Staff, said that currently if an engineer inspecting a construction site saw a violation of the ordinance, he must call a building and housing inspector to issue a citation. Council Member Godfrey said the change would lead to better enforcement of the existing ordinance.
Council Member Fonnesbeck asked why a resolution authorizing the execution of a grant agreement between Salt Lake City Corporation and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development providing the 1987-88 Rental Rehabilitation program entitlement amount of $297,000 to Salt Lake City Corporation was separate from an identical grant agreement providing $157,000. Ms. Hamilton told the Council that the original amount requested was $297,000, as mentioned in agenda item D4. She added that the $157,000 in agenda item D5 was a supplemental appropriation and therefore, must be separated from the original amount.
The briefing session adjourned at 5:30 p.m.
