Cottonwood CDRA approves resolution appointing officers and staff
Summary
The Cottonwood Community Development and Renewal Agency approved Resolution 2024-02 to elect officers and appoint staff for the agency in a brief September 2024 meeting, with unanimous council votes and a minutes-approval process described.
The Cottonwood Community Development and Renewal Agency approved Resolution 2024-02 electing officers and appointing staff during a brief CDRA business meeting in Cottonwood Heights in September 2024.
Mayor Michael T. Wickers, who chairs the CDRA, opened the meeting saying, “We have just 1 action item, for today, which is consideration of resolution 20 24 dash 0 2, electing officers and appointing staff.” The body then heard a short presentation from the city manager explaining the nominations and the agency’s compliance with its bylaws.
The nut graf: The single-item meeting formalized routine leadership and staff appointments tied to recent membership changes on the city council. The agency’s bylaws were cited as the basis for completing the appointments now.
The CDRA approved the following appointments by motion: Mayor Michael T. Wickers as chairman; Shawnee Newell as vice chairman; Jared Gerber as chief executive officer; Maria Devereux as secretary; Tiffany Janzen as assistant secretary; and Scott Jurgis as treasurer. As the city manager put it during the discussion, “these are the typical appointments that have been that are either in the bylaws or have traditionally been those appointments.”
Council member Holton moved to approve Resolution 2024-02; Council member Newell seconded. The vote was recorded as unanimous: Council member Holton — yes; Council member Hyland — yes; Council member Newell — yes; Council member Burrell — yes; and Mayor Wickers — yes. The motion passed and the resolution was adopted.
After the vote, the agency outlined its procedure for approving meeting minutes: the agency secretary will circulate a draft to board members, who have three business days to propose corrections; revised drafts will be recirculated until a draft receives no corrections within the three-business-day review window and is then deemed approved. The CDRA then adjourned.
No other substantive items, public testimony, or follow-up tasks were discussed on the record during the CDRA portion of the meeting. The appointments were presented as administrative and tied to council membership changes; no separate funding, program changes, or policy actions were introduced in the CDRA session.
