SALT LAKE CITY ORDINANCE
No. 43 of 1992
(Establishing conditions on the appropriation of
funds for employees' use of City vehicles to
commute to and from work)
AN ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING CONDITIONS ON APPROPRIATION OF
FUNDS FOR EMPLOYEES' USE OF CITY VEHICLES TO COMMUTE TO AND FROM
WORK.
PREAMBLE
Under Section 10-3-1210 of the Utah Code Ann., the City
Council has the authority and responsibility to appropriate funds
for City operations.
The City has a program whereby employees may use a City
vehicle to commute to and from work if it is demonstrated that
such use would serve the public interest and enhance the
performance of the employees' duties and responsibilities,
particularly in emergency response situations.
The City Council has determined that part of the costs, such
as gasoline and maintenance, incurred by the City, for employee
use of a City vehicle in commuting to and from work, should be
shared by the employee. Further, if the City vehicles are used
by employees to commute to and from work, the costs incurred by
the City for employees who live outside of the jurisdiction of
Salt Lake City is more than for employees who live within its
jurisdiction.
Accordingly, as a condition on appropriation of funds for
employees' use of City vehicles to commute to and from work, the
City Council wants the City to require the employee to pay a
monthly charge, through bi-weekly payroll deductions, authorized
in writing by the employee, to cover a part of the costs incurred
by the City for such use.
Be it ordained by the City Council of Salt Lake City, Utah:
SECTION 1. PURPOSE. The purpose of this ordinance is to
establish conditions on the appropriation of funds for the City's
program whereby employees use a City vehicle to commute to and
from work.

following conditions must be satisfied before any City employee
may use a City vehicle to commute to and from work:
1. It can be demonstrated that it is in the public interest
that the employee should have a vehicle available to commute to
and from work;
2. The employee pays a monthly charge as specified in
Section 3 below;
3. The employee authorizes the City, in writing, to deduct
from the employee's wages, bi-weekly, the monthly charge
specified in Section 3 below.
SECTION 3. MONTHLY CHARGE. Employees who use a City
vehicle to commute to and from work must pay the following
monthly charge, which shall be deducted from the employees' wages
bi-weekly, as authorized by the employee in writing:
1. Employees who live within the jurisdiction of the Salt
Lake City shall pay a monthly charge of $15.
2. Employees who live outside the jurisdiction of Salt Lake
2
City shall pay a monthly charge of $30.
SECTION 4. MAYOR'S AUTHORITY TO LIMIT OR DISCONTINUE THE
PROGRAM RELATING TO EMPLOYEE USE OF CITY VEHICLES. Nothing in
this ordinance shall prevent the Mayor from limiting the use of
City owned vehicles or discontinuing the program whereby
employees use a City vehicle to commute to and from work.
