Pursuant to Utah Code Annotated 52-4-207(5) the undersigned, as Chair of the Emigration Canyon Metro Township Council, hereby declares that providing an anchor location for the electronic meetings of the Council will present a substantial risk to the health and safety of those who may be present at the anchor location for the following reasons:
The Township is located in Salt Lake County and is still under a 'LowLevel of Transmission' alert stage for the COVID-19 pandemic; and
The regular meeting place for the Council (the UFA Fire Station in the Canyon) does not have sufficient space in the meeting room to provide for the recommended physical distancing to keep people safe from infection.
This written determination shall expire 30 days from today. This meeting will not have a physical anchor location. All attendees will connect remotely via Zoom.com (https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83328451408).
                           
Upon request with three working days' notice, the Greater Salt Lake Municipal Services District will provide free auxiliary aids and services to qualified individuals (including sign language interpreters, alternative formats, etc.). For assistance, please call 385-468-7130 - TTY 711.
