A. Information Needed by Council Staff
1. September Meeting Schedule.
A number of Council Members will be traveling at different times in September. Council Staff has discussed with the Chair and Vice Chair an alternative schedule for September that will still meet the three meetings per month requirement, while also minimizing the number of meetings with more than two Council Members absent. Please let staff know if you have any questions or concerns with this proposed schedule:
Tues, September 2 – Cancelled (Council Members Turner, Simonsen, and Martin will be traveling to Japan for Matsumoto visit)
Tues, September 9 – RDA and Council Meeting with light agendas (Council Members Turner, Martin, and possibly Simonsen will be gone) – agenda will be kept to a minimum. RDA staff has informed Council Staff that if there are “important discussions” that need to happen in September, they can schedule an extra RDA meeting for these along with the Council Meetings on the 16th or 30th.
Tues, September 16 – Regular Council Meeting starting at 3pm, ending by 6pm, in time for Equality Utah Dinner. Is the Council interested in holding the Northwest Quad Tour on Tuesday September 16 10:00 a.m. – 2 p.m. and fact finding 2:30 p.m. – 5:30 p.m.?

attached. Ms. Gust-Jenson said a couple of subcommittee meetings had four
people and at some point they might want to decide who was an alternate.
She said there were a couple of subcommittees that did not have an alternate and
they might want to appoint an alternate. Councilmember Love asked if there
was a reason why the Council couldn’t have four interested Council Members on a
subcommittee. Ms. Gust-Jenson said they could post an agenda for those
meeting.
