Historical Note
An agency history is available.
Scope and Content
Utah law authorizes the governing body of each municipality to exercise its legislative powers through ordinances. The governing body may pass any ordinance to regulate, require, prohibit, govern, control or supervise any activity, business, or condition authorized by law (Utah Code, 1988, 10-3-701-702). Early Alton ordinances establish community boundaries, specify the responsibilities and salaries of community officers, and govern activity within town limits. Later ordinances and resolutions amend the original ordinances, impose taxes, and provide for public services. The Alton council passed ordinances adopting a uniform building code and creating a zoning law.
