Mayor Hart indicated that Ivins City participates in a number of County and Regional entities.  The assignments go to City Council Members who are able to attend and represent the City.  Council Member Mehr is on the Emergency Preparedness committee.  Council Member McDonald is on the Solid Waste District board and will continue to represent Ivins on that board.  Council Member Johnson oversees the Heritage Days Committee and is the Ivins Princess Pageant liaison.  Council Member Elliott is on the Southwest Mosquito Abatement Board and Affordable Housing task force.  Ron Densley was the representative on the Snow Canyon Joint Management Committee and he would like Council Member Gordhammer to take his place.  Mayor Hart stated that there may be other positions that come along that the Council will decide who is in the best position to represent the City.  There may be involvement with the CEC (Community Education Channel) in the near future.  The CEC was a million and a half dollars in debt and in December of 2019 they were debt free.  They will come to the Council meetings and broadcast those for Ivins City.  Dale Coulam referred to the Resolution that appointed Council Member McDonald and indicated that it does not require a reinstatement and the language for Council Member Elliott's appointment is not specific as to re-appointment.  He commented that if they were all happy with their assignments, there was no reason to vote.
B. Discuss and consider electing a Mayor Pro Tem for the 2020 calendar year
Mayor Hart indicated that the Mayor Pro Tem stands in for the Mayor when he is not able to attend, as well as other occasions when the Mayor has an obligation to attend.  Council Member Elliott nominated Council Member Johnson as Mayor Pro Tem.
