The South Salt Lake City Council's amended Oct. 28 regular meeting agenda had one action item: an ordinance changing sign rules in Sections 17.08.070, 17.08.100 and 17.08.240 to match House Bill 33 of the 2026 session. The draft ordinance bars the city from restricting political signs on adjacent park strips, designates a drop-off location for removed signs, requires five business days' phone notice before disposal and caps retrieval fees at $20 per repeat incident, with an appeal. The meeting also listed approval of the Sept. 23 minutes. Minutes of the Oct. 28 meeting are not yet posted, so the vote is not confirmed here.
