Several counties in Utah have recently changed their form of county government (Grand, Morgan, Tooele). We focus on the difference between the commission and council form within county government.
Our guests include two officials who have recently had a change in their form and one county that kept their commission.
What are the differences and is one form better than another? The answer may surprise you.
Guests:
Jim Harvey, Weber County Commission
Tina Cannon, Former Morgan County Councilwoman
Tom Tripp, Tooele County Councilman
Highlights:
What are the different forms of county government in Utah?
What did Morgan, Tooele, and Weber consider when they looked at changing their form of government?
What are the pros and cons of Commissions vs Councils?
The best government is the one that has engagement from the community.

ABOUT THE COUNTY SEAT: The County Seat is a public affairs program about the functions and issues of county elected officials and county government in UTAH. The County Seat is designed to provide the essentials to being an informed and engaged citizens in what we view as the most important level of government to daily life, county government. Topics range from the life of a ballot to the wild horses on public lands. The majority of Utah’s 29 counties are rural with a concentration of urban issues along the Wasatch Front. This dynamic lends an interesting twist to the show where we highlight a number of rural issues that the majority of Utahns may not be as familiar with. #CountiesMatter #CoutySeatS11E03
