Apply to join the CWC Stakeholders Council today through February 9th
The Central Wasatch Commission is seeking new members to join the Stakeholders Council. The application period is open now through February 9th.
The Central Wasatch Commission is the governmental entity that the Mountain Accord charter called to create. Upon its creation, the Central Wasatch Commission was tasked with carrying out projects initiated during the Mountain Accord process including federal legislation, the Central Wasatch National Conservation and Recreation Area Act, the Environmental Dashboard, the Visitor Use Study, and canyon transportation improvements.
The Stakeholders Council is comprised of community members, representing the diverse interests in the Central Wasatch Mountains, including community organizations, environmental groups, ski resorts, residents and property owners, and the general public. Stakeholders may gather information, conduct fact-finding, provide analysis, conduct feasibility studies, and otherwise collaborate with broader constituencies with interests in the Project Area in order to make suggestions, recommendations and proposals to the CWC Board and the Commission’s staff and consultants.
The Stakeholders Council, mandated by the CWC Interlocal Agreement, acts in an advisory capacity to the CWC board, and currently includes 33 members and five committees:
Mill Creek Canyon Committee, which meets publicly on the 3rd Monday of each month at 1:30 p.m., discusses matters pertinent to Mill Creek Canyon.
Environment Systems Committee, which meets publicly on the 2nd Tuesday of each month at 2:30 p.m., discusses matters regarding environmental protection throughout the Central Wasatch Range.
Recreation Systems Committee, which meets publicly on the 2nd Thursday of each month at 2:00 p.m., discusses recreation improvements throughout the Central Wasatch Range.
Transportation Systems Committee, which meets publicly on the 2nd Monday of each month at 3:30 p.m., discusses canyon transportation issues and improvements.
Economy Systems Committee, which meets publicly on the second Thursday of each month at 3:30 p.m., discusses the economic matters pertinent to the canyons in the Central Wasatch.
The Stakeholders Council meets as a whole on the third Wednesday of every other month, 3:30 – 5:30 p.m.
As a condition of being appointed, Stakeholders Council members agree to support a consensus-based process for issues impacting the CWC’s project area, share information, and collaborate with other Stakeholders Council members.
Applications will be open now until February 9th at 5:00 p.m.
