Summary
At a limited formal meeting, the Salt Lake City Council unanimously adopted a resolution appointing Jennifer Napier Pierce to fill the District 4 vacancy; the chair corrected an agenda date error before the vote and the appointee was sworn in during the meeting.
At a brief limited formal meeting, the Salt Lake City Council unanimously approved a resolution appointing Jennifer Napier Pierce to fill the vacant District 4 council seat.
The chair opened the session by noting the meeting was limited in scope and that there would be no general public comment at this time. The chair also corrected an error on the published agenda, saying the vacancy term runs until January 3, 2028, not January 4, 2028 as printed. A council member moved to adopt a resolution appointing Jennifer Napier Pierce to fill the remainder of the District 4 term; the chair later identified the mover as Council Member Wharton and the seconder as Council Member Dugan. The chair called for a voice vote and announced the motion carried unanimously.
The chair turned the meeting over to Keith, a city staff member, to administer the oath of office to Jennifer Napier Pierce. During the oath Keith said, "I do solemnly affirm that I will support, obey, and defend the constitution of The United States and the constitution of the state of Utah." After reciting the oath, participants offered brief congratulations to the newly sworn council member. The chair noted paperwork would be completed and members were invited to return for the full meeting at 7 p.m., when public comment will be taken.
The appointment and oath conclude the business recorded in this limited session; no public hearings or additional action items were on the agenda.
