Senate Bill 91 — Municipal Officers Compensation Amendments (Sen. Chris Wilson, R-Logan). Under the provisions of this bill, a city council would be required to hold a separate public hearing and vote on any proposal to change the compensation of the council members, mayor or senior city staff — like the city administrator, city attorney or city recorder. It is a minor change that, according to the fiscal note, would not cost municipalities any more money, but would provide an added layer or transparency and accountability to constituents.
As a result, it receives The Utah Transparency Project “Open Door” rating.
