COG appoints board representatives; nominating commission selections recorded by acclamation
Summary
The COG filled several representative seats: Sheldon Birch was appointed to the Board of Health, Kathleen Bunhattan was named to the Economic Opportunity Board and another nominee was accepted by acclamation, and Marissa Manzione was appointed to the justice court nominating commission in the recorded excerpt.
During the Dec. 18 meeting, the Tooele County Council of Governments filled multiple representative seats on regional boards and commissions.
With Stockton’s departing representative vacating the COG-appointed seat on the Board of Health, members nominated Sheldon Birch and moved to close nominations. The body accepted the appointment by acclamation.
The COG also appointed Kathleen Bunhattan to the Economic Opportunity Board and completed an additional appointment; members discussed the requirement that at least one representative come from a smaller municipality. Both appointments were accepted by acclamation.
On the justice court nominating commission, the chair read state guidance about the five-member nominating commission process. The transcript records a motion to appoint mayor-elect Nancy Young and, later, a nomination and acclamation vote for Marissa Manzione. The excerpt explicitly records Marissa Manzione’s appointment by acclamation; the earlier motion regarding Nancy Young is recorded in the minutes but a separate final tally for that specific name does not appear in the provided excerpt.
Where the transcript does not specify a seat or the precise tally, this article notes that detail as not specified in the record.
Next steps noted by members include follow-up communication to appointees and coordination among mayors and staff.
