Summary
After interviewing a slate of volunteers, the Summit County Council appointed Carrie Westberg and Sean Dalton to seats on the Snyderville Basin Special Recreation District administrative control board and approved mayoral appointees to the County Open Space Advisory Committee.
The Summit County Council conducted interviews Jan. 28 for multiple volunteer seats on special service boards and announced appointments later in the afternoon.
Carrie Westberg, who told the council she has lived in Summit County for 21 years and has served eight years on the Basin Recreation board, described her priorities as listening to constituents and supporting district staff while managing budget concerns and bond communication. "I have really enjoyed being on the board and being of service to our community," Westberg said in her interview.
The council also interviewed a slate of other applicants, including Sean Dalton, a Marine Corps veteran and director of veteran support services, and Pete Van Stee, a Delta pilot with prior board experience. During the public interviews, members asked candidates about time commitments, relevant experience with parks and recreation governance, and how they would address long‑term facility and funding needs.
At a later session the council voted unanimously to appoint Carrie Westberg and Sean Dalton to terms expiring Dec. 31, 2029. The council also consented to the mayor's recommendations to appoint Zane Wolfson Hume, Dan Gillenwater and Jack Kellner to the Summit County Open Space Advisory Committee, with terms set under county ordinance.
Council members said they will continue reviewing candidates for other vacancies and thanked volunteers for their willingness to serve. The appointees will take their seats and work with Basin Recreation staff on ongoing planning and budget items.
