SLCO Boards & Commissions

Salt Lake County
Board & Commission

Information

Now Online


Salt Lake County has unveiled a new Web page designed to provide easier access to information about the county’s numerous Boards and Commissions. Salt Lake County has 102 different boards and commissions, with 1,600 members.

Boards and Commissions provide input and guidance to county leaders on a variety of subjects, from aging to zoning. Nearly all members are volunteers, and the new page gives the public a new tool to learn about the boards and commissions and apply to serve.

Sheryl Ivey, Board Coordinator for Mayor Peter Corroon, has worked for the last year with Salt Lake City-based SIRE Technologies, Inc., to create an easy-to-update board database. It enables access via the new page to the most current information about each board and commission. On the new page, located at www.boards.slco.org, visitors can search a full listing of all boards and commissions, and find information including:

      · A description of the board’s purpose
      · Current members
      · Meeting time and location
      · Liaison contact information
      · Legislation that created the board

The new database and page enable the Mayor’s office to update board and commission information daily, an important feature given the frequency of new board and commission appointments: typically there are from 20 to 40 changes each week. The database will also allow for better tracking of the geographical, gender and ethnic diversity of board appointees.

Ivey says the new page is a vast improvement, especially for citizen involvement in boards. “Before we created this page, we had an application available online, but no simple way for the public to learn about the different boards and what they do,” Ivey says. “This will make the application process so much easier, and hopefully, involve a broader spectrum of people in boards.”
