South Salt Lake council confirms civilian review board appointment, approves resolution authorizing city financial-account signatures

The South Salt Lake City Council voted July 8 to give advice and consent to Mayor Sherry Wood’s nomination of Catherine Taylor to become a regular member of the Civilian Review Board and approved a separate resolution authorizing specific people to perform functions related to the city’s financial accounts.

Mayor Sherry Wood presented the appointment of Catherine Taylor, who had been serving as an alternate member of the Civilian Review Board, and asked the council for advice and consent. A council member moved to approve the appointment and another seconded; the council proceeded to a roll-call vote and the motion carried. The council chair announced the motion carried and wished Taylor luck in her new role.

Later in the meeting, Stuart Okobya presented an unfinished-business item that had been reviewed at a prior work session: a resolution authorizing named individuals to act on the city’s financial accounts, including those held in the Utah Public Treasurers' Investment Fund. A council member moved approval, a second was made, and a roll-call vote was taken; the motion carried.

The transcript records that both motions carried following roll-call votes. The meeting minutes provided during the session did not include a detailed per-member vote record in the transcript text; the council chair declared each motion carried on the record.
