Topics getting the most attention in Herriman City public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
The City Attorney provided an update on several new state bills from the legislative session that will impact city operations, including regulations on political signs, construction codes (wildland-urban interface), governmental immunity for first responders, budget hearing processes, and land use regulations for planning commissions.
Several state bills are being tracked, including one on service district withdrawal (HB129), planning commission procedures (SB284), public assistance (HB88), unmarked police vehicles (SB262), e-bikes (HB561), and impact fees (HB568). These bills could affect city autonomy, services, public safety operations, and development costs.
The city is keeping an eye on new state laws that could affect local government. Topics include changes to personal injury lawsuits (which could cost cities more), making it easier for cities to leave special service districts (like for trash), and ongoing discussions about housing and criminal justice.
The City Attorney briefed the Council on several state legislative bills (e.g., HB 184, HB 239, HB 355) that could significantly reduce local control over zoning, annexation, and increase municipal liability. These bills pose a critical threat to Herriman's ability to manage its growth, protect local interests, and could lead to increased city costs.
