Sec. 33-3-5. Vehicles to bear sign indicating ownership.
All motor vehicles owned and operated by the city shall have a
sign painted in a conspicuous place on both sides thereof,
designating the city's ownership in the following language:
"Property of Salt Lake City" under conditions and as required
by Chapter 7 of Title 41 of the Utah Code. Said designation
shall be in letters not less than three (3) inches in height
and kept clearly visible at all times in full compliance with
State law; provided, however, that nothing herein shall be
construed to require any police or fire department vehicle,
exempt from such requirements under State law to be so painted.
Sec. 33-3-6. Penalty for violation. Any violation of pro-
visions of this chapter shall be grounds for suspension or dis-
missal from employment, but shall not be considered a criminal
