WEST VALLEY CITY – The West Valley City Council has approved a new police review board.

The decision comes after dozens of drug cases were dismissed earlier this year due to evidence of mismanagement by the department’s now disbanded neighborhood narcotics unit.

The West Valley City Professional Standards Review Board will look over complaints against police and issue quarterly as well as annual reports on its operations.

The seven-member board will be made up entirely of civilians, and there will not be any city employees on the board.

Members will be appointed by the city manager with the advised consent of the city council.

WEST VALLEY CITY, Utah — West Valley City Mayor Mike Winder announced Wednesday that he has decided not to seek re-election this fall, citing financial reasons.

“Public service is always a sacrifice for a family, and in our city’s council-manager form of government it is especially difficult to serve as mayor,” Winder said in a press release. “Although the pay is part-time, the duties of the job of mayor have daily demands that make other employment very difficult. For the need of better providing for my growing family, I announce today that I will not be seeking reelection.”

Winder, 37, was elected in 2009 with 76 percent of the vote and was paid an annual salary of $35,000. Winder’s salary was about one-third of the salary paid to the mayors of Provo, Sandy, Salt Lake City and other cities of similar size, the press release said.
