Municipal Code Modernization

The city updated its core municipal code titles and internal personnel and purchasing guidelines to ensure smoother administrative operations.

What it means: City staff and residents interacting with clearer municipal regulations.

New Engineering Standards for Infrastructure

The city is removing outdated building requirements that forced homeowners in blast zones to buy expensive, specialized windows. Since mapping updates mean those zones no longer affect Kearns, the rules are no longer necessary.

What it means: Kearns homeowners remodeling or replacing windows who no longer need to comply with redundant industrial safety standards.
