The Sunset City Council on Tuesday completed a series of organizational actions for 2026, electing Nancy Smalling as mayor pro tem, confirming committee assignments for council members and approving multiple board appointments by roll-call votes.
The council voted to elect Nancy Smalling to serve as mayor pro tem for 2026 after a motion by Council member Carlson and a second by Council member Wrigley. The motion carried on a voice vote with 'Aye' recorded and no opposition noted.
Votes at a glance: Council approved four resolutions and several appointments during the meeting. Recorded actions included:

The council also confirmed planning commission leadership: the council appointed Scott Stephenson as planning commission chair and Michael Hartwig as alternate chair, both four-year terms ending Dec. 31, 2030, and reappointed Judy Justice for a new four-year term. Council members offered brief comments in support of each nominee prior to the votes.
Context: Mayor and staff read assignments that include representation on boards such as North Davis Fire, North Davis Sewer, Wasatch Integrated and the Mosquito Abatement District. Council members asked which positions carried stipends; staff confirmed that North Davis Fire, North Davis Sewer and Mosquito Abatement (and Wasatch Integrated in some cases) are paid boards. The mayor said assignments were placed according to past practice and councilor requests when possible.
What happens next: Appointees will take their seats on the boards and commissions as specified; the mayor asked staff to provide appointment details to the relevant agencies. The council scheduled routine follow-up on committee representation as needed through the year.
Ending: All recorded appointments and elections at this meeting were approved by the council; no formal objections were recorded in the transcript.
