Mayor and Council Coordination Mayor Ramsey shared they are waiting for all the specific ideas to come out of the Unified Economic Opportunity Commission Subcommittees on the 30th of the month, then there will be a lot happening in September. There were several resolutions, but the main things the city will need to decide their position on will start coming to light in September. Council Member Zander asked if they are down to three voting spots on the LPC. Mayor Ramsey responded that they still have four spots since she is still on the executive committee. Attorney Loose explained how the voting worked, especially now that Former City Manager Gary Whatcott has retired. Council Member Zander noted that her Mondays are just too busy for her to attend regularly. South Jordan City 2 Combined City Council & Redevelopment Agency Study Meeting August 15, 2023 Mayor Ramsey said they are trying to decide whether or not there should be another seat added, which would not require the changing of the League’s constitution, for the ULCT member that represents the League on the Unified Economic Opportunities Commission. She didn’t want to apply for a seat on the board once her term as president was over and take the seat from someone else; however, she recently discovered she was nominated for a seat on the board. That will all be decided in September, and if she does stay on she will be added ex-officio. The mayor, council and staff discussed the options for voting. They decided to continue having Attorney Loose vote in Council Member Zander’s place until things are changed officially so the city doesn’t lose a vote. Council Member Shelton talked about the League’s discussions yesterday, including a resolution on dignity, civility and local politics, and the other on maintaining local authority. The council discussed those topics briefly and their feelings. Mayor Ramsey discussed the conference coming up in September, and that she was recently asked to present on Thursday at that conference. Manager Lewis added that there will be staff members presenting at this conference as well on drones and drone usage in cities, as well as strategic budgeting and priorities.
