Electronic Board Meeting Determination
Consistent with Section 52-4-207(4) of the Utah Open and Public Meetings Act, and acting as Chair of the Board of the Greater Salt Lake Municipal Services District (the District) I, hereby make the following written determinations in support of my decision to hold and convene electronic meetings of the District Board without a physical anchor location:
1. Conducting Board meetings with an anchor location that is physically accessible for members of the public to attend in person presents a substantial risk to the health and safety of individuals present at the anchor location.
2. This determination is based upon the following facts, among others:
a. The District remains under a state of public health emergency related to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, and significant, continued person-to-person transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 virus continues to occur in our county, with institutions and persons being required to take precautions, including limiting 'in-person' interactions and providing physical distancing guidelines;
b. The health and safety of District Board members, officials, employees, staff, contract service providers and members of the public who are in the high risk category for COVID-19 due to age and/or preexisting conditions is best served by holding electronic Board meetings with limited in-person interaction; and
c. The District Board has prepared for and has the ability to effectively conduct its public meetings electronically, including providing members of the public a means to monitor the meetings and, as appropriate, make comments electronically.
Notice of Special Accommodations (ADA)
Upon request with three working days' notice, Salt Lake County will provide free auxiliary aids and services to qualified individuals (including sign language interpreters, alternative etc.). For assistance, please call (385) 468-7500 - TTY 711.
