Salt Lake City Councilman Stan Penfold has served just two terms, but those eight years make him the council’s longest-serving member. When he and one-term Councilwoman Lisa Adams leave office this week, the seven-member council will have four members with two years or less time in office, including two new members to be sworn in Tuesday.
“I came onto a council that was pretty well established,” Penfold said last week. “To leave at eight years and have the most seniority, it’s just kind of a little weird.”
Penfold and Adams depart halfway through Mayor Jackie Biskupski’s first term.
