Council updates Titles 1 and 2 of city code; assistant city manager added to appointed positions
Summary
Council adopted ordinance 2026‑022 to update Titles 1 and 2 of city code to align appointed vs. merit personnel with state code and internal practice, and added the assistant city manager as an appointed position.
Jamie Bracken presented proposed amendments to Titles 1 and 2 of the city code to clarify which positions are appointed versus merit employees, to update procedures for midterm vacancies and appeals for terminated employees, and to align local code with recent changes in Utah state law.
Council members asked whether the assistant city manager should be listed as an appointed position; the council moved to include that change in the motion and adopted ordinance 2026‑022 by roll call. Staff said the revisions bring code language in line with existing practice (including some police appointments by the chief) and provide clearer timelines for appointments (moved to on or before July 1 for newly elected councils).
