The Davis County Council of Governments voted to forward two nominee names to the governor for consideration for a TDA trustee vacancy and recorded a roll‑call outcome of 11 yeas and 3 nays.
The session included short candidate remarks from Leonard (who described municipal experience and financial oversight background) and a second candidate who presented on transit‑oriented development, funding strategies and UTA‑related policy. The body discussed whether to submit one name or multiple names; members noted precedent varies and that the governor ultimately appoints the trustee.
A motion to submit both nominee names was made and seconded; council staff conducted a roll call. The recorded votes as called in the meeting transcript were: Mayor Shepherd (Aye), Mayor Stenger (Aye), Mayor Coleman (Aye), Mayor Graham (Aye), Mayor Petro (Aye), Mayor Horrocks (Aye), Mayor Westbrook (Aye), Mayor Wong (Aye), Mayor Vincent (Aye), Commissioner Kamalu (Nay), Commissioner Stevenson (Aye), Commissioner Cross (Nay), Representative Hogan (Aye). The chair summarized the result as "11 yeas and 3 nays," and the secretary noted the county clerk would submit the names to the governor.
The motion carried; meeting minutes recorded the motion as passed and staff said they would transmit the nominees to the governor's office. No appointment was made at the meeting; the governor will decide whether to appoint one of the nominees.
