AGENDA ITEM TYPE:
Resolution
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve Resolution CR2026-09-02 Adopting Amended Bylaws of the Authority
BACKGROUND:
The Utah Public Transit District Act section 17B-2a-8 outlines the duties and powers of a large public transit district’s governing body. One of those duties includes approving ordinances and bylaws. Changes made to the Utah Public Transit District Act in the 2026 Utah Legislative Session necessitated the adoption of new Authority Bylaws to align with the revised roles and responsibilities of the Authority’s Executive Director and governing body, the Transit Commission. In the July 15, 2026 Transit Commission meeting, the Commission approved an initial version of the bylaws with the understanding that revisions would be made after Commission input was considered. Feedback from Commissioners was received via email and during discussion in the August 12,2026 Transit Commission meeting. Commissioner feedback was considered and incorporated into the current proposed version of the bylaws.
DISCUSSION:
Authority staff will present the main points of the proposed amended bylaws, which include articles governing the organization of the Authority, the Transit Commission, the Executive Director, committees, meetings of the Transit Commission, and conducting business.
ALTERNATIVES:
Commissioners may suggest revisions to the proposed bylaws.
