Series 22124

A separate agency history is available.

DESCRIPTION: Utah municipal governments exercise authority through ordinances (Utah Code, Unannotated, 1991, 10-3-701). The ordinances in this series are revisions or additions to the complete code, "The Revised Ordinances of Bear River Town, Utah (1906)." Book A, entitled "Ordinances and Resolutions of the Bear River Town Corporation," contains copies of ordinances passed 1906-1936. These ordinances deal with irrigation, taxation, and the regulation of public streets, pool halls, fireworks, liquor sales, and bowling alleys. They also contain franchises between the city and companies such as Utah Power and Light, Acme Water Company, a drainage company and a telephone company. Ordinances passed after 1950 are on loose paper and deal with annexing additional property into the city, licensing businesses, public utility right of ways, and teen curfews. Several ordinances define sewer regulations. Other ordinances are agreements with Box Elder County concerning garbage pickup, 911 emergency numbers, and trash burning. This series also contains an ordinance adopting the land management and development code.

ARRANGEMENT: Ordinances are arranged chronologically.

RESEARCH NOTE: The loose paper ordinances include a statute passed in 1918 which defines the fees which can be assessed by the pound keeper.
