AGENDA ITEM TYPE:                                                                                                                        

LAC - Consultation

RECOMMENDATION:                                                                                                                       

The Local Advisory Council is requested to provide input on the proposed revisions to the Board Policies as presented.                      

BACKGROUND:                                                                                                                                 

The Utah Public Transit District Act section 17B-2a-8 outlines the duties and powers of a large transit district’s Board of Trustees.   One of those duties includes developing and approving board policies, ordinances and bylaws after consultation with the Local Advisory Council. 

The UTA Board of Trustees last updated their Board Policies in December 2022 and have recently performed a general review of those policies.  

DISCUSSION:                                                                                                                                      

The agency is recommending the following new and updated policies be approved as presented:

-                     Board Policy 1.1 Process for Establishing Board Policies (revised)

-                     Board Policy 1.3 Executive Relationships and Meeting Protocols (new policy)

-                     Board Policy 2.3 Budget (new policy)

-                     Board Policy 3.1 Advertising and Naming (revised)

-                     Board Policy 4.2 Public Records (revised)

The attached policies are being provided to the Local Advisory Council to review and provide input to the Board of Trustees prior to their adoption later this fall.

ALTERNATIVES:                                                                                                                                    

The Council is encouraged to provide input to the Board of Trustees with their comments, advice, or recommended alternatives to the proposed policy revisions.

FISCAL IMPACT:                                                                                                                                

None
