Chair's Statement re: Open and Public Meetings Act
In accordance with Utah's Open and Public Meetings Act* I have determined that conducting meetings of the Elected Officials Compensation Commission with an anchor location, such as the Human Resources Conference Room, presents a substantial risk to the health and safety of those who may be present. These are the facts upon which I have made this determination:
- The World Health Organization has classified novel coronavirus disease (aka COVID-19) as a pandemic.
- The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention state that COVID-19 is easily spread from person to person between people who are in close contact with one another.
- State Public Health Order 2021-5** addresses the ongoing COVID-19 public health emergency and establishes minimum standards to address the unique circumstances in different locations.
- Utah County is currently listed as having a MEDIUM level of coronavirus transmission as determined by the state's transmission index metrics***.
- Physical distancing measures will be difficult to set up and maintain in the Human Resources Conference Room and other meeting rooms.
Therefore, for the next 30 days, all meetings of the Elected Officials Compensation Commission will be conducted entirely via electronic means:
- The public may tune into the live meeting on Zoom; the Zoom meeting details are listed on the meeting agenda.
- A recording of the meeting will be available after the fact via the Utah Public Meeting Notice website: https://www.utah.gov/pmn/index.html
Daniel Softley, Provo City Human Resources Division Director, March 22, 2021
* As amended by HB5002, Open and Public Meetings Act Amendments, (2020 Fifth Special Session), Utah Code Annotated (UCA) 52-4-207(4) provides that a public body may convene and conduct an electronic meeting without an anchor location if the chair of the public body:
(a) makes a written determination that conducting the meeting with an anchor location presents a substantial risk to the health and safety of those who may be present at the anchor location;
(b) states in the written determination described in Subsection (4)(a) the facts upon which the determination is based;
(c) includes in the public notice for the meeting, and reads at the beginning of the meeting, the information described in Subsections (4)(a) and (b); and
(d) includes in the public notice information on how a member of the public may view or make a comment at the meeting.
UCA 52-4-207(5) states that a written determination described in Subsections (4)(a) and (b) expires 30 days after the day on which the chair of the public body makes the determination.
