South Salt Lake deputy mayor, HR director denounced by some as mayor's 'fixer'

The woman who has been the longtime human resources director for the City of South Salt Lake, a confidante of the mayor, is the focus of a continuing 2News investigation. Charmaine Peck, Mayor Cherie Woods’ best friend is accused by current and former city employees of engaging in a pattern of intimidation designed to silence employees who wish to file grievances or even so much as send an email detailing a problem in the workplace.

Anderson was allowed to ride it out into retirement. A retirement party was held for him days after he was convicted of drunk driving. She wrote, “I find it tragic that the media can say anything they want to smear someone’s character with zero facts or evidence.” The former executive assistant for the mayor and HR Specialist for the City is among those who agreed to speak with us if we protect her identity. She says she worked for the City of South Salt Lake for approximately four years from 2018 until 2022. She told us Peck was her direct supervisor, but that she also reported to the mayor.

She says, “Due to the nature of my position being HR things were confidential. I couldn’t talk about them. I couldn't let employees know that they were being treated differently than their coworkers and that really that was hard to be in that position and keep a clean conscience. It was for me very hard to balance doing what's right and doing what I'm told in order to keep my job.”

She provided several examples of what she calls unethical conduct to 2News Investigates. “I was asked on several occasions to push through a pay raise or a hiring and not tell my HR coworker about it because they ask too many questions.”
