RECOMMENDATION:
Approve Resolution AR2025-02-01 appointing 2025 Local Advisory Council Officers with an amendment to include the 2nd Vice-Chair appointee.
BACKGROUND:
Utah Transit Authority Bylaws (Article III, Section 4) require that the UTA Local Advisory Council annually elect three officers including a Chair, a Vice-Chair, and a Second Vice-Chair from the membership of the Advisory Council. During 2024, Troy Walker served as Chair, Bob Stevenson served as Vice-Chair, and Natalie Hall served as Second Vice-Chair.
Duties of Advisory Council officers are as follows (per Bylaws Article III, Section 7):
A. Advisory Council Chair.
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.
B. Advisory Council Vice-Chair.
In the absence of the Advisory Council Chair, the Advisory Council Vice-Chair shall carry out the duties of the Advisory Council Chair.
C. Advisory Council Second Vice-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 2025 officers would begin at the end of the first Council meeting in 2025 and expire at the end of the first meeting of the Council in 2026.
DISCUSSION:
The Advisory Council previously adopted Resolution AR2024-02-02 that established a succession of officers for 2025 appointing Bob Stevenson as Chair and Natalie Hall as Vice-Chair, with a new nominee for Second Vice-Chair to be elected by the Council. Advisory Council members may choose the 2025 2nd Vice-Chair 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.
