West Valley City PSRB approves minutes and records motion for closed session

The West Valley City Professional Standards Review Board convened and approved minutes from its Sept. 11 meeting, then moved to consider a closed session.

Michael Fenshaw, who identified himself at the start of the meeting, read a list of attendees and led the board through routine business. "My name is Mike. It's Michael Fenshaw," he said during opening remarks. He then introduced attendees including Mariah Westhoff, Matt McPherson, Justin and Michael Finch.

A motion was made to approve the minutes. At the roll-call for the minutes the board called for a voice vote: "All in favor, say aye," the transcript records, followed by an affirmative "Aye." Shortly after, the transcript records the line, "I did not hear any of that, but I do approve it," as the group confirmed the approval.

Board members then checked whether any members of the public were participating online; speakers stated there were no public comments present. Following that exchange, a speaker said, "So, I'll make I'll make the motion for closed session," and another speaker "I second the motion." The transcript records the motion and second but does not clearly capture a final vote or the outcome of that motion.

The meeting record in the transcript is brief and includes several short, repeated utterances that are not intelligible enough to determine whether they represent a formal vote or audio artifacts. The transcript does not provide a clear final action on the closed-session motion.

The board did not announce additional agenda items in the transcript, and no formal findings, disciplinary actions, or case details were discussed on the recorded segments.
