Notice of Electronic or Telephone Participation
Notice regarding special restrictions for this electronic meeting.
In light of federal, state and local COVID-19 guidelines, and consistent with the Board chairperson's written determination dated March 7, 2022, this Board of Trustees meeting will be held via electronic means only. No anchor location will be used, and members of the public will not be allowed to attend this meeting in person. The Board chairperson's March 7, 2022 determination concerning the conduct of the March 17, 2022 meeting included the following:
Facts upon which determination of need to hold an electronic meeting of the Board, without an anchor location, on March 17, 2022, is based:
Federal, State, and local authorities have recommended that individuals limit public gatherings and that individuals experiencing symptoms of COVID-19 self-isolate to prevent and control the continuing spread of COVID-19.
The public monitoring and participation requirements in the Open and Public Meetings Act, Utah Code Section 52-4-101 et seq. will gather interested persons, members of the public, and members of a public body in a single, confined location where the risks of further spreading COVID-19 are far greater.
Determination concerning conduct of March Board meeting:
In light of the facts referenced above, conducting the March 17, 2022 meeting with an anchor location presents a substantial risk to the health and safety of those who may be present at the anchor location;
The Board, consistent with its recent practice under Utah Executive Order 2020-5, will therefore hold an electronic meeting without an anchor location, and will provide an electronic means by which the public may hear the open portions of the meeting, as well as an electronic means by which members of the public may provide comment to the Board;
The above findings will be included within the public notice of the March 17, 2022 meeting, and will be read into the record at the beginning of that meeting.
This meeting will be conducted via Zoom. Interested parties, including members of the public or representatives of county governments or Utah Tribes, may attend the meeting through the registration link: https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_8754sXwhSJy_HnJ4YmeLRQ. We recommend registering by 8:50 a.m. to avoid missing the beginning of the meeting. Those wishing to provide public comment will be asked at the beginning of the period designated for such comment to use the 'raise hand' feature at the bottom of the screen within the Zoom meeting so they may be called upon to provide comment. Please call Lisa Jones at 801-538-5110 or email lsjones@utah.gov any time before 8:00 a.m. on March 17, 2022 with questions.
