RECOMMENDATION:
Nominate and vote to appoint Local Advisory Council officers for the year 2023 as outlined below and in the resolution. Approve Resolution AR2023-02-04 with an amendment to include the name of the newly elected 2nd Vice-Chair.
BACKGROUND:
Utah Transit Authority Bylaws (Article III, Section 4) require that the UTA Local Advisory Council annually elect three officers, a Chair, a Vice-Chair, and a Second Vice-Chair from the membership of the Advisory Council. During 2022, Julie Fullmer served as Chair, Mark Johnson served as Vice-Chair, and Troy Walker served as Second Vice-Chair.
Duties of Advisory Council officers are as follows (per Bylaws Article III, Section 7):
" The Advisory Council Chair shall preside at all Advisory Council meetings. The Advisory Council Chair shall ensure that the Advisory Council carries out its duties under the Public Transit District Act and shall coordinate the agenda with the Board Chair to accomplish this end. The Advisory Council Chair shall serve as the liaison with the Board.
" In the absence of the Advisory Council Chair, the Advisory Council Vice-Chair shall carry out the duties of the Advisory Council Chair.
" The Advisory Council Second Vice-Chair shall attest to all resolutions, ordinances, or orders passed by the Advisory Council.
The Chair and Vice-Chair also serve as members of the Audit Committee.
The term for 2023 officers would begin at the end of the first Council meeting in 2023 and expire at the end of the first meeting of the Council in 2024.
DISCUSSION:
The Advisory Council established in Resolution AR2022-02-01 a succession of officers for 2023 appointing Mark Johnson as Chair and Troy Walker as Vice-Chair, with a new nominee for Second Vice-Chair to be elected by the Council. Advisory Council members may choose 2023 officers through nomination and open discussion, followed by either a verbal motion and vote or vote by paper ballot, according to the discretion of the Chair.
