RESOLUT
Result
//
The Board of Commissioners of Salt Lake City, Utah, resolve as
follows:
WHEREAS, the Utah State House of Representatives has considered the
matter of House Bill 23, an act providing for the adoption of a State
Building Code, which would affect building standards throughout the City
and State; and
WHEREAS, it appears that the provisions of said Bill would allow
local governmental entities no jurisdiction or flexibility to amend the
code to meet special needs or goals of the particular community which
could eventually end all local control of building regulation; and
WHEREAS, the City has other concerns about the effect of said pro-
posed Bill upon the ability of local government to regulate and enforce
building standards and regulations effectively; and
WHEREAS, said House Bill 23 has been tabled by the House of Repre-
sentatives from further consideration.
NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby resolved that the Board of Commissioners
hereby oppose the enactment of House Bill 23 and would strongly urge the
legislature to oppose this measure as being against the best interests
of the citizens and entities of local government.
Passed this 8th day of March, 1977.
