Council flags gap in rules after canceled July meeting; staff to bring policy revision to work session
Summary
Councilmember Gary Haws said the July 21 cancellation may not have followed town procedures—citing Town Rules and Utah Code §10-3-606—and recommended a future work session to revise the cancellation policy; council agreed to revisit the rule set.
Councilmember Gary Haws raised concerns about the cancellation of the July 21 meeting and whether the town followed its Rules and Orders of Procedure and Utah statute 10-3-606. Haws said the existing policy requires a special meeting to cancel a regularly scheduled meeting and that the council should have been involved in the decision to cancel.
Members discussed the history of cancellations, involvement of past officials, and the need to clarify when the mayor can cancel a meeting versus when council consent is needed. The council agreed to place the topic on a future work session to consider policy revisions and close the identified procedural gap.
