Tooele — The Tooele City Council discussed its 2025 council leadership and board appointments at a Jan. 15 work meeting and agreed to carry the matter to the business meeting for a formal vote.
The council reviewed a printed list of current assignments and discussed continuity versus rotation for outside boards and interjurisdictional committees. Councilman Bridal (council chair) and other members emphasized the value of consistency on long-term boards, while several members said increased written reporting from board representatives would help the full council stay informed.
Councilwoman Melody Manzion told colleagues she was willing to serve as vice chair; later in the discussion several members indicated support for Manzion as vice chair. Council members also discussed representation to the Redevelopment Agency (RDA) and regional committees. Councilman Bridal and Councilman Dave (last name used in meeting) said they were willing to continue in roles they have held; others asked for greater transparency from RDA and RDA-related meetings so all council members could receive regular updates.
Council members noted one absence: Councilmember Roger was not present because his father passed away; the council agreed to postpone a closed session until Roger can attend. The council said it will vote on appointments and any leadership changes at the Jan. 15 business meeting that followed the work session.
No formal votes or official appointments were made during the work meeting.
