SERIES: 24187
TITLE: Resolutions
DATES: 1983-
ARRANGEMENT: Numerical by resolution number which is also chronological by date approved.

DESCRIPTION: According to Utah law, the governing body of each municipality may exercise its administrative powers through resolutions. Resolutions may include, but are not limited to establishing water rates or charges for other services, establishing personnel policies and guidelines, and regulating the use of municipal property (Utah Code, 1988, 10-3-717). The Big Water town council approved resolutions affecting these and many additional issues. The council approved resolutions creating municipal offices, commissions, and boards, and then approved additional resolutions for specific political appointments and merit salary increases thereafter. The council used resolutions to announce public hearings and changes to regularly scheduled council meetings. By resolution, the council announced the adoption of each annual budget, made changes to town lots and subdivisions, and stated the council's position on external matters. Other related documents are scattered among the Big Water resolutions.
