AGENDA ITEM TYPE:
Resolution
RECOMMENDATION:
Nominate and vote to appoint Local Advisory Council officers for the year 2022. Approve Resolution R2022-02-01 Appointing Council Officers for the Year 2022 with an amendment to include the names of the elected officers.
BACKGROUND:
Utah Transit Authority Bylaws (Article III, Section 4) require that the UTA Local Advisory Council annually elect three officers, a Chair, a Vice-Chair, and a Second Vice-Chair from the membership of the Advisory Council. During 2021, Karen Cronin served as Chair, Clint Smith served as Vice-Chair, and Julie Fullmer served as Second Vice-Chair.
Duties of Advisory Council officers are as follows (per Bylaws Article III, Section 7):
• The Advisory Council Chair shall preside at all Advisory Council meetings. The Advisory Council Chair shall ensure that the Advisory Council carries out its duties under the Public Transit District Act and shall coordinate the agenda with the Board Chair to accomplish this end. The Advisory Council Chair shall serve as the liaison with the Board.
• In the absence of the Advisory Council Chair, the Advisory Council Vice-Chair shall carry out the duties of the Advisory Council Chair.
• The Advisory Council Second Vice-Chair shall attest to all resolutions, ordinances, or orders passed by the Advisory Council.
The Chair and Vice-Chair also serve as members of the Audit Committee.
The term for 2022 officers would begin at the end of the first Council meeting in 2022 and expire at the end of the first meeting of the Council in 2023.
DISCUSSION:
The Advisory Council established in Resolution AR2020-11-01 a succession of officers for 2022 appointing Clint Smith as Chair, Julie Fullmer as Vice Chair, and a nominee for Second Vice Chair to be elected by the Council. Because Clint Smith is no longer a member of the Council, he is unable to assume the chairmanship as outlined in the resolution. Advisory Council members may choose 2022 officers through nomination and open discussion, followed by either a verbal motion and vote or vote by paper ballot, according to the discretion of the Chair.
