BACKGROUND:                                                                                                                       

The Utah Public Transit District Act (17B-2a-808.2) establishes a nine-member Local Advisory Council with members appointed by Council of Government (COG) bodies across the UTA service district. UTA Bylaws Article 3, section 10 allows each appointing authority the right to select alternative representatives to the Local Advisory Council (LAC).  Alternate members may participate in meetings, make motions, count toward a quorum, and vote in matters before the LAC if the appointing authority’s member is not present and the alternate has been properly designated to participate in the member’s place.   Dan Peay has been serving as an alternate for Salt Lake County COG since late 2018.  He has been appointed to serve as a regular member of the LAC. 

DISCUSSION:                                                                                                                                      

On September 3, 2021 Salt Lake City Mayor Erin Mendenhall appointed Jon Larsen to serve as her alternate.  On January 20, 2022, Salt Lake County COG appointed Ellen Birrell as an alternate member of the LAC representing Salt Lake County.
