Longtime ULCT staffer Meg to depart; board approves pivot to coordinator/deputy role
Summary
Meg announced her departure after more than two decades; the board approved a recommended reallocation of responsibilities and creation of a coordinator/deputy position to preserve capacity for engagement, land-use training and outreach.
Meg announced to the board that she plans to depart the League at the end of June after more than 24 years of service and thanked colleagues for the opportunity. She highlighted initiatives she led, including the Land Use Academy, partnerships with Utah State University, and broad training efforts across the state.
"I greatly appreciate the opportunity to have been part of this organization for the last 24 plus years... it's time for me to write a new chapter," Meg said during the meeting.
Staff proposed not to replace Meg with an identical senior land-use manager position but instead to create a coordinator/deputy role that frees capacity among remaining senior staff members (Molly, Jared, Cassie and others) to handle higher-level strategy and to rely on a contract expert pool for technical gaps. Staff emphasized they would keep the same number of full-time employees overall but reallocate duties internally and supplement with contracted experts when needed.
Mayor Burton moved to approve the new staff position in the reorganized structure; Councilor Diggen seconded and the motion passed unanimously. Staff will post the position, refine job duties, and return with final budget and job-posting details prior to the June board meeting.
