Description/Agenda
Murray City Council Chair Statement
Open and Public Meeting Act
Utah State Code 52-4-207 (4)
In accordance with the Governor and Utah Department of Health's Phased Guidelines for the General Public 'Utah Leads Together', and the Utah Legislature's House Joint Resolution 504, adopted on June 17, 2020, extending the State of Emergency Due to the Infectious Disease COVID-19 Novel Coronavirus, I have determined that to protect the health and welfare of Murray citizens, an in person City Council meeting, including attendance by the public and the City Council is not practical or prudent.
The Center for Disease Control states that COVID-19 is easily spread from person to person between people who are in close contact with one another. The spread is through respiratory droplets when an infected person coughs, sneezes or talks and may be spread by people who are non-symptomatic.
Considering the continued rise of COVID-19 case counts in Utah, meeting in an anchor location presents substantial risk to the health and safety of those in attendance because physical distancing measures may be difficult to maintain in the Murray City Council Chambers.
It is my intent to safeguard the lives of Murray residents, business owners, employees and elected officials by meeting remotely through electronic means.
You may view the meeting via the live stream at www.murraycitylive.com or https://www.facebook.com/Murraycityutah/ .
If you would like to submit citizen comments or public hearing comments you may do so by sending an email in advance or during the meeting to city.council@murray.utah.gov . Comments are limited to less than three minutes, include your name and contact information, and they will be read into the record.
