The Uganda AMICAALL members said providing the condoms could prevent HIV.
The mayors and municipal leaders also want a law restricting children under 18 years old from going to bars.
AMICAALL vice-chairman David Wakudhumira, who is the mayor of Jinja, said, "We should ensure that bar owners do not allow in the children."
He said children could easily contract the virus from the bars.
The leaders made the resolutions at their annual general assembly at Hotel Equatoria in Kampala on Monday.
First Lady Janet museveni opened the assembly.
AMICAALL Uganda Chapter chairman John Ssebaana Kizito said the mayors and municipal leaders had to implement the resolutions and set up bye-laws for hotels and lodges to stock condoms.
