The proposed committee structure aims to be inclusive and effective, with an aim to foster collaboration. The committees seek to welcome all interested parties, including the people who will implement the vision, and to make logical connections with existing entities and partners.
Envision Utah and Salt Lake County recognize the value of committee members' time, and will strive for an efficient meeting process.
Conveners
Conveners guide the policy direction of the collaboration. They are leaders of stature and expertise, intended to bring prominence to the collaboration and represent a cross-section of key interests in the Jordan River. Most of the Conveners will be Mayors. This group will meet at key milestones of the process to provide high-level guidance as the effort progresses. Conveners will likely meet twice, with additional updates/feedback via the COG when warranted.
Cabinet
The Cabinet acts as the steering committee for the process. This group will oversee the execution of the scope of work and will make key decisions as to how the process is undertaken. The Cabinet is envisioned as being composed of key local government staff members as well as a variety of other stakeholders that focus on the Jordan River Corridor. The Cabinet will likely meet four times.
Research Teams
Research teams will be formed to provide specific support in key areas. These areas may include:
-
water quality
-
erosion
-
habitat improvements
-
open space
-
urban design and
-
recreation
These teams will analyze issues and make recommendations in the form of reports to the Conveners and Cabinet members. These teams will also ground truth the Blueprint’s final recommendations ensuring that they are plausible and technically sound. Up to 6 hours a month is anticipated during the months of June, July and August in 2006 and January, February and March in 2008.
