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 alternate 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.
DISCUSSION:
On January 5, 2026, the Weber Area COG appointed Russ Porter to serve as a member of the UTA Local Advisory Council, and Ben Nadolski to serve as an alternate member of the UTA Local Advisory Council, representing WACOG.
On January 8, 2026, the Utah County COG appointed Brad Frost and Paul Binns to serve as members of the UTA Local Advisory Council, and Jared Gray to serve as an alternate member of the UTA Local Advisory Council, representing Utah County COG.
