Heber City Council Meeting December 6, 2012

I try to go to as many meetings as possible.  If I can't make it to the meeting personal, then I follow-up with someone who did and I read the minutes to create this blog entry.  You always have the option to read the minutes yourself at the link below. 

Tonight the City's new policy for how public meetings are held was discussed in the Work Meeting.

Two documents were presented for consideration.  A short draft was presented by ROWLAND and a much longer draft was presented by MCDONALD.

A vote was then schedule for the next scheduled Regular Meeting.

In the Regular Meeting tonight, the City council finally defined the city's form of government:

1. The powers of the municipality of Heber City is vested in a council consisting of six members, one of which is a mayor.
2. The mayor and five council members shall be chosen at large by the qualified voters of Heber City.
3. Heber City has a City Manager (created by ordinance and in accordance with state staute) who is a professional manager appointed by the governing body who has been delegated the administrative power and authority of the city to oversee daily operations.

The vote was as follows;

• FOR - Patterson, Bradshaw and Rowland
• AGAINST - McDonald and Mergist

This issue had bother many people for a long time and hats off to the City Council for getting this one right.

Look, if a city councilman is trying to get rid of the City Manager and give more power to the Mayor than we all need to keep an eye out on who shows up on the ballot for the next Mayoral Election...

I will be that EYE IN THE SKY and keep you posted.
