AGENDA ITEM TYPE:
Resolution
RECOMMENDATION:
Recommend the Board adopt resolution R2024-12-06 modifying the Authority’s Board Office organizational structure by creating the position of Chief of Board Strategy and Governance.
BACKGROUND:
The Utah Public Transit District Act empowers the Board to “hire, set salaries, and develop performance targets and evaluations for the Executive Director and all chief level offices.” Utah Code § 17B-2a-808.1(2)(j). Board Policy 1.3(III)(C)(1)(b) empowers the Board of the Authority to appoint and hire other officers, assistants, or deputies the Board considers necessary. The Board of Trustees last established an organizational structure in July 2024 with Resolution R2024-07-03. The Board Chair is recommending a structure adjustment to better align the strategic priorities of the Board Office through establishment of the new position of Chief of Board Strategy and Governance.

The reorganization of the Board Office creates a Chief of Board Strategy and Governance that will oversee the work of Board Governance, Government Relations, and Internal Audit and will better align the strategic priorities of the Board.
ALTERNATIVES:
Continue under the current organizational structure.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact on the 2025 budget.
