South Jordan council affirms 2026 board and committee assignments, discusses seat rotations
Summary
City Manager Lewis reviewed the city’s 2026 board and committee appointment list; council members confirmed most placements, discussed rotating the South Valley Chamber Board seat, and agreed staff will update and circulate a final assignments list.
Mayor Dawn Ramsey opened the South Jordan City Council study meeting on Jan. 6, 2026, and asked City Manager Lewis to review the council’s board and committee assignments for 2026. Lewis said it was the council’s first meeting of the year with newly reelected members and that he wanted to "run through all of the committee's board assignments" to confirm whether members wished to keep or change their appointments.
Lewis walked through the assignments alphabetically and identified specific placements: the Architectural Review Committee currently includes a council member assignment; the Arts Council appointment is held by Council Member McGuire; the Association of Municipal Councils seat is assigned to Council Member Shelton; and the audit committee includes Mayor Dawn Ramsey along with Council Members Shelton and Harris. He noted the Historic Committee remains on the list pending a code change that would remove or reconstitute it.
Council members discussed practical details such as meeting cadence and logistics. On the South Valley Chamber Board, Lewis said the current council seat was occupied for a year by one member and the chamber would like the city to rotate that seat so other council members can serve; he described the board’s regular meeting time as the second Wednesday at 7:30 a.m. in Sandy and said meetings typically run 30–45 minutes. Several council members noted schedule conflicts and said electronic participation is an option for boards that allow it.
Mayor Ramsey asked that any requested changes be communicated privately to the city manager or city recorder so staff could update and distribute the finalized list. Lewis said he would "update the list, and I will send you out the full version of the list with it all updated." The council did not take formal votes on appointments during the study session and left the assignments as presented unless members notify staff of changes.
The meeting concluded with the council moving on to a separate training discussion and then adjourning to conduct a walkthrough of chamber logistics.
Ending: The council agreed staff will circulate an updated assignments list for 2026 and members will notify staff of any swaps or conflicts; no formal appointment changes were made during the study session.
