COUNTY PROPOSAL #1
Shall the present governing form of Salt Lake County Government consisting of three County Commissioners be replaced by a "County Executive-Council Form" which separates executive and legislative powers as specified below?
The proposed change would modify the present commission form of government by replacing the three at-large county commissioners with an at-large county executive and nine-member council. Six members of the council would be elected by district to staggered four-year terms, while three members would be elected at-large to staggered six-year terms. The proposed change would retain without change all other elected officials within the County (Assessor, District Attorney, Auditor, Clerk, Recorder, Sheriff, Surveyor and Treasurer).
All Legislative and policy-making powers, including planning and zoning, ordinance, tax levies and budget approval, would be vested in a part-time County Council. All supervisory, administrative and day-to-day mangerial responsibilities would be veted in a County Mayor. The Mayor would serve full-time and have veto power over ordinances and budgets passed by the Council, which could be overridden by a vote of two-thirds of the Council.
If approved by the voters, the proposed change would become effective January 1, 2001, with the new county officers being elected November 7, 2000"
