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
