Wow -- this might actually do it!

"The city council member who recommended the ban said the rule to outlaw bikinis was simply "an oversight." At the council's meeting last week she recommended a new rule be put into place revising the ban to include thongs and string bikinis only. In doing so the pool in Kanab would still require G-rated swimwear, but exclude the controversial G-string.
While Kanab has a reputation for being one of the state's more conservative communities, city leaders say they didn't mean to cause such an uproar with their bikini ban.
"We were so engrossed with safety and health issues we overlooked the wording," one city council member said. "We are addressing that now by amending the policy."
According to news reports, as it stands now, bikinis that don't reveal too much will be allowed, as will Speedos for men (note to Beach Bob) when the community's new public pool - known as the Cowboy Water'n Hole - opens July 4th."

: No back voiding of predictions will occur as the news regarding the ban and the specifics only appeared after the market suspended. Thanks should goto Newswrangler who worked hard on getting this market settled, even getting in contact with the community in Utah. In the end "g-string" type bathing suits shall remained banned. We have it from good authority that thongs and bikinis fit into the middle option for settlement.

Some skin will be in. A ban on bikinis at the city pool is expected to be revised, ending a short-lived prohibition on the popular two-piece pool ...
I don't doubt your willingness to expose yourself to strangers at a pool, but I thought sunlight was dangerous (even fatal) to gingers ;)
Just kidding...don't get serious on this fun market...LOL
KANAB - The bikini ban has been banned.
Even before Kanab's soon-to-debut city pool opens, the City Council voted unanimously Tuesday night to lift its short-lived prohibition on two-piece swimsuits.
Instead, the southern Utah city is barring "thong swimwear" - a rule similar to other public pools in the Beehive State.
http://www.sltrib.com/news/ci_9688570
This was an excellent question but probably should have had one more option: Bikini Ban is lifted, Thong Ban remains in place, and then the market could have been settled.
looks to me like a void.
...unfortunately.
Many string bikinis would be tolerated; thongs not.
The official minutes of the meeting should be on the website sometime tomorrow.

I am starting to think that lifeguards (AKA bathing suite inspectors) will have the same problem - deciding which bikinis are OK and which are not.
Note to self:
(Insert obvious joke about potential career change - HERE)
I am just wondering though if they want any bikini inspectors ...because I am more than willing to volunteer for the position ... and I feel that to do a proper inspection, it would be a real hand-on job! :-)
The weather is cooperating:
10 day forecast for Kanab, UT being in the low to mid 90's with lots of sunshine.

Just let me know If I need to volunteer my time, as I fully understand the true value of community service.
:)
