Mayor nominates Stuart Okobia as finance director; council will act at regular meeting
Summary
Mayor Wood announced the nomination of Stuart Okobia as South Salt Lake's finance director during a June 10, 2026 work meeting; council members said they would consider the appointment at the regular meeting later that evening.
Mayor Wood announced the mayoral nomination of Stuart Okobia for the post of finance director during a South Salt Lake City Council work meeting on June 10, 2026. Councilman Corey Thomas opened the work meeting and identified the single agenda item as the mayoral appointment of Okobia.
"I think you all have Stuart's resume in your drive," Mayor Wood said, inviting council members to ask questions and noting the nominee was nearby and available. No substantive questions were recorded in the work session; one attendee responded, "Looks good. Okay, good." The council decided to take up the nomination in the regular meeting rather than act during the work session.
The work meeting concluded after the brief discussion; council members waited a few minutes for the regular meeting to begin, where formal consideration or a vote on the appointment is expected. The work session record does not show a formal motion, a second, or a vote on the nomination.
