Determination of the Chair of the Board of the Central Wasatch Commission
Concerning an Electronic Meeting Anchor Location
PURSUANT TO UTAH CODE ANN. 52-4-207(4), I, as the Chair of the Board of Commissioners (the 'Board') of the Central Wasatch Commission ('CWC'), hereby determine that conducting Board meetings at any time during the next 30 days at an anchor location presents a substantial risk to the health and safety of those who may be present at the anchor location. Although the overall incidence of COVID-19 cases has diminished somewhat over the past several months, the pandemic remains and the recent rise of more infectious variants of the virus merits continued vigilance to avoid another surge in cases which could again threaten to overwhelm Utah's healthcare system.
DATED August 23, 2021
