Adjournment
Provo City Municipal Council
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 Municipal Council with an anchor location, such as the Municipal Council Chamber, presents a
substantial risk to the health and safety of those who may be present there. 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.
Utah County is currently listed as having a MODERATE level of coronavirus transmission as determined by
the state's transmission index metrics***.
Health Guidance Levels issued by Utah Department of Health limits gathering sizes, requires masks to be
worn in public settings, and strongly recommends physical distancing.
Therefore, for the next 30 days, all meetings of the Municipal Council will be conducted entirely via
electronic means:
Council meetings are broadcast live and available later on demand at youtube.com/provocitycouncil.
Agendas and support materials are available at agendas.provo.org.
To make a public comment or to join a meeting via telephone, follow the instructions provided on public
notices of each meeting.
To send comments to the Council or weigh in on current issues, visit opencityhall.provo.org or email the
Council at council@provo.org.
David Sewell, Chair, Provo City Municipal Council, March 25, 2021
I have determined that conducting meetings of the Governing Board of the Redevelopment Agency (RDA) of
Provo City is subject to the same risks identified above based on the facts stated herein. Therefore, I adopt
the same procedures listed above for meetings of the RDA Governing Board.
Shannon Ellsworth, Chair, RDA Governing Board, March 25, 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.
