No. 46 of 2020
(An Ordinance Enacting Chapter 2.10.190 Restricting the Police Department’s Receipt or
Acquisition of Certain Military Surplus Property)
WHEREAS, Salt Lake City Corporation is prioritizing policy and ordinance
reforms so that the City will be as progressive and safe in its policing of all people within
its jurisdiction as possible; and
WHEREAS, the City Council believes that prohibiting the receipt or acquisition
of surplus military equipment is one of the first steps necessary to create a safer city for
all people in Salt Lake City and to ensure that the Salt Lake City Police Department is a
trusted partner to all people.
NOW, THEREFORE, be it ordained by the City Council of Salt Lake City, Utah:
SECTION 1. Chapter 2.10.190 of the Salt Lake City Code shall be, and hereby is,
enacted to read as follows.

property from any military equipment surplus program, whether state, federal, municipal,
or private:
(a) drones that are armored, weaponized, or both;
(b) aircraft that are combat configured or combat coded;
(c) grenades or similar explosives and grenade launchers;
(d) military grade weapons, including silencers; or

equipment surplus program or to seek a grant that will be matched by the federal
government to purchase property from the military equipment surplus program, the police
department must seek a budget amendment from the City Council and such budget
amendment will, in writing, explain the need for the surplus military property and explain
the specific proposed uses for such property.
(3) If the police department desires to accept, as a donation, property from a military
equipment surplus program, the police department must notify the City’s director of
finance, the Mayor’s Office, and the City Council, in writing, of the police department’s
intent to receive the donation and explain, in writing, the need for the surplus military
property and explain the specific proposed uses for such property.
(3) The City Council will hold at least one public hearing on all requests from the
police department to acquire, accept, purchase, or receive property from a military
equipment surplus program.
(a) At the conclusion of the public hearing, and prior to the police department’s
acceptance of any donation of military surplus equipment, the Council may adopt a
resolution either (i) identifying the policy reasons for the City’s acceptance of the
military surplus equipment and authorizing the acceptance, or (ii) indicating either that
the acceptance of the donation will create a financial liability for the City or that the
Council has not identified a policy reason for the City’s acceptance of the military surplus
equipment, and rejecting the donation of the military surplus equipment.
(b) If the police department accepts the donation of military surplus equipment
after the Council authorizes the donation, the police department must identify the policy
reason for acceptance of the donation and the specific use for the equipment in any

donation agreement with the donor.
(4) By the end of each fiscal year, the police department will make an initial written
report to City Council of its current inventory of any of the items specified above, and an
annual report thereafter. The initial and annual report shall, in writing, explain the need
for the military surplus property, the specific uses of such property, and whether any City
funds are or will be used to maintain such property.
SECTION 4. That this ordinance shall become effective immediately upon
publication.
Passed by the City Council of Salt Lake City, Utah this 6th day of October 2020.
