SERIES: 84920
TITLE: Revised ordinances
DATES: 1893-1916; 1997-
ARRANGEMENT: Chronological by date adopted, thereunder by title, chapter, and section.
DESCRIPTION: The city council in each of Utah's incorporated cities exercises its legislative powers by passing ordinances. Ordinances regulate all activity within the community (Utah Code, 1988, 10-3-701-707). At the time of incorporation the Kanab town board (as the city council was formerly called) compiled and adopted a set of ordinances as a basis for the city government. These ordinances set the town boundaries; established positions for a number of appointed officials and defined their responsibilities; established rules of conduct; and set requirements for conducting business. The Kanab city council compiled and updated sets of complete city ordinances periodically thereafter. This series includes some of those sets of revised ordinances. The most recently revised set of Kanab ordinances is much broader in scope and also includes regulations for elections, courts, taxation, municipal improvements, public utilities and services, new construction, public transportation, safety, and the management of public property, as well as planning and zoning laws.
