RESOLUTION
Result . . . .
WHEREAS, prior to 1963 the Utah State Legislature reserved to
itself the right to establish the salaries to be paid to elected city
officials; and
WHEREAS, prior to 1969 the Utah State Legislature reserved to
itself the right to fix the maximum salaries to be paid to elected
county officials; and
WHEREAS, the present statutes permit elected officials of both
cities and counties to increase their own salaries during the terms
of office to which they were elected following a public hearing
thereon; and
WHEREAS, the Board of Commissioners of Salt Lake City does not
believe it is proper for public officials to raise their own salaries
and is opposed to the present statutory method of increasing salaries
of elected city and county officials;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS OF
SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH, that the Legislature of the State of Utah be
requested to again assume the responsibility of fixing the salaries
