Proposed Bylaw Revisions
end
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:
LAC - Consultation
RECOMMENDATION:
The Local Advisory Council is requested to provide input on the proposed revisions to the Authority’s Bylaws 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 the Authority’s Bylaws in June 2019.
DISCUSSION:
The agency is proposing bylaw revisions to:
• provide clarity around roles and duties of the Board of Trustees, Local Advisory Council and Officers of the Board.
• add Oath of Office requirements for Board Officers and chief level officers of the Authority.
• consider revision to the organization of the Committee on Accessible Transportation (CAT), which is governed by its own Charter.
• update provisions for electronic meetings as defined in Utah’s Open and Public Meetings Act.
• update the requirements for the recording of Board of Trustee and Local Advisory Committee votes.
The proposed revisions are being provided to the Local Advisory Council to review and provide input to the Board of Trustees prior to their adoption in December.
ALTERNATIVES:
The Council is encouraged to provide input to the Board of Trustees with their comments, advice, or recommended alternatives to the proposed bylaw revisions.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None
