The order of agenda items may change to accommodate the needs of the commission, city staff and the public
*NOTICE OF ELECTRONIC MEETING*
In accordance with Resolution No. 2020-07-20R, Chairman Woffinden has determined that conducting
meetings of the Planning Commission with an anchor location, such as the City Council Chambers, presents a
substantial risk to the health and safety of those who may be present there. The following are facts upon which
this determination has been made:
- Utah has been in a declared state of emergency due to COVID-19 since March 6, 2020, a virus outbreak
that has been recognized by the World Health Organization, federal, state and local leaders as a
pandemic.
- The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has stated that COVID-19 is easily spread from
person to person between people who are in close contact with one another through respiratory droplets
when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or talks. This virus can also be spread by people who are nonsymptomatic.
- As reported by the Utah Department of Health, reported COVID-19 cases in Utah County continue to
rise at a rate higher than reported rates for the state.
- Federal, state, and local authorities recommend that individuals limit public gatherings, wear face
masks, and follow social distancing guidelines.
- It is difficult to anticipate the number of attendees at any meeting in order to maintain social distancing
to comply with State Phased guidelines. Further, regardless of the number of attendees, social distancing
measures for Planning Commission, staff, and attendees will be difficult to maintain in the City Council
Chambers.
- COVID-19 continues to pose an immediate threat to the health, safety, and welfare of American Fork
City residents.
- American Fork City can provide a way for the public to hear, or hear and view, open portions of
Planning Commission meetings and to provide a way to participate in public hearings.
For the next 30 days, all Planning Commission meetings will be conducted via electronic means. The meetings
are broadcast live-streamed, and available at a later time, at https://www.americanfork.gov/AgendaCenter. To
make a public comment, email comments to zoompubliccomment@afcity.net prior to 5:00 p.m. the day of the
meeting for the comment to be read into record. Please indicate in the subject line which item your comment
refers to.
