The South Salt Lake City Council approved a set of budget amendments Oct. 29 that affect several funds, including the general fund, capital fund, public-safety special revenue fund, stormwater utility fund, and transportation utility fund.

Finance staff presented the amendments as a mix of prior-year carryovers, grant-funded items, and cost changes on ongoing projects. Council discussion highlighted a roughly $400,000 increase in a road project package tied to unanticipated infrastructure deterioration. "A lot of that was because the infrastructure was worse than we had anticipated," a councilmember said.

The council opened a public hearing and received no public comment before moving and approving the amendment by roll call.
