C. Council Remarks City Recorder Anna Crookston noted that the resolution presented to the council tonight had tomorrow night’s date, and the Resolution has been amended to reflect tonight’s date and time. City Attorney Ryan Loose added that the published copy for the public had the correct date, this was just a clerical error. Council Member Harris said this is a wonderful city that has grown over the years since he first joined the council. There is a wonderful Mayor, council members, and he looks forward to all the things still left to do to build out the city the best they can. Council Member Zander is appreciative of the opportunity to serve and is grateful for many good people in the city who step up to vote, even when a candidate is unopposed. She takes running for office and serving the city seriously, and she has enjoyed her service. She thanked Council Member Marlor, it has been a pleasure to serve with him and he will be missed as a leader on the council. She appreciates serving with everyone here, and it is a special opportunity to run for office and serve those who elected you. Council Member Marlor congratulated Council Member Elect Kathie Johnson. She has already been on the council, and he knows the next four years will be challenging but he is confident she will do a great job. Council Member Shelton is grateful to live in an area, a state and city, where we can all feel confident about the results of elections. It is remarkable to have the opportunity to participate in our government. He discussed a recent article he read, with a statement from a previous LDS Church leader, saying something to the effect of a flawed proposal that is unanimously supported is likely to get you better results than a perfect proposal that is not unanimously supported. This Council votes unanimously most of the time, and that’s because they have collaborated and worked together to get those greater results. He also congratulated Kathie and looks forward to working with her. Council Member McGuire’s kids asked what the change on the council will mean, and he said they will all work that out together. He is looking forward to getting to know Kathie as she joins the council. This council works so hard to work together, even through their differences, and that’s what makes service so great. They’ve all had topics they disagree on, and they have always been able to talk through those and move forward with what’s best for our city. City of South Jordan 3 Board of Canvassers Meeting December 5, 2023 Mayor Ramsey shared that in the last 24 hours she has had five people running for other offices contact her for advice, and they ask what South Jordan’s secret is to things going so well, Council Members running unopposed, etc.; that just isn’t seen in other places. It’s not because they all think the same way, but they do always work together towards a greater good. ADJOURNMENT Council Member McGuire motioned to adjourn the December 5, 2023 Board of Canvassers Meeting. Council Member Zander seconded the motion; vote was 5-0, unanimous in favor.
