Jack Draxler, chair of the county's Form of Government Study Committee, told the Cache County Council the committee met biweekly since June, held three public meetings and surveyed current and former county and city officials. "We recommend that the council executive form of government continue to be the form of government for Cache County," Draxler said, summarizing the committee's advisory finding and noting the group's lack of lawmaking authority.

The committee reported a high level of satisfaction with the current county government among stakeholders who participated in its survey and outreach. Draxler said the panel identified several nonbinding suggestions for the council to consider, including additional training for elected and appointed officials, periodic reviews of how duties and powers are distributed across county offices, adding gender-neutral language to the county organic act, and studying whether certain executive offices (notably the treasurer and auditor) might be more appropriately appointed than elected subject to state law.

Council members thanked the committee and asked for clarifications. No formal change to county law was made at the meeting: the council accepted the advisory committee's recommendation by motion and voice vote. The committee's report and the discussion are advisory; any statutory or charter changes would require further council action and, where applicable, conformity with the Utah Constitution and state law.

The council indicated it will take the suggestions under advisement; next steps would involve staff follow-up on training options and any potential code-language updates.
