This meeting will be an electronic meeting pursuant to the
Chair’s determination.
As Salt Lake City Council Chair, I hereby determine that conducting the Salt Lake
City Council meeting at an anchor location presents a substantial risk to the health
and safety of those who may be present. The decision to meet online follows a local
increase in COVID-19 cases in the City and elsewhere and will be re-evaluated
weekly.
The change in meeting attendance is a precautionary measure for the safety of the
public and City employees based on the latest reports from the Centers for Disease
Control and the Salt Lake County Health Department. The Council will return with
hybrid or in-person meetings when appropriate
