UNFINISHED BUSINESS
#1 . 7:13:50 PM Adopting an ordinance amending Salt Lake City Code
(Section 2 . 54 . 030) relating to the personal use of City-owned vehicles
by employees and the payment required by employees who take such
vehicles home. The proposed changes would: View Attachments
• Allow vehicles to be used for reasonable personal use, within a
35 mile range, rather than restricted to uses that are incidental
to employee commutes. The change is designed to lessen the
overall carbon footprint and allow for quicker emergency response
time for off duty emergency responders.
• Alter the fee structure that determines how much employees pay to
use the vehicles. The change would base fees off an
individualized calculation from the employee's residence to the
City's boundaries rather than the current approach that is based
on how close they live to a demarcation line.
Councilmember Luke moved and Councilmember Simonsen seconded to
adopt the ordinance .
Substitute Motion: Councilmember LaMalfa moved and Councilmember
Love seconded to set the date of September 24, 2013 for a public
