This meeting will be an electronic meeting pursuant to the Chair’s determination:
I, Ana Valdemoros, the chair of the Board of the Redevelopment Agency, hereby determined
that conducting the Board of the Redevelopment Agency meeting at an anchor location
presents a substantial risk to the health and safety of those who may be present at the anchor
location. The World Health Organization, the President of the United States, the Governor of
Utah, the Salt Lake County Health Department, Salt Lake County Mayor, and the Mayor of
Salt Lake City have all recognized a global pandemic exists related to the new strain of the
coronavirus, SARS- CoV-2. Due to the state of emergency caused by the global pandemic, I
find that conducting a meeting at an anchor location under the current state of public health
emergency constitutes a substantial risk to the health and safety of those who may be present
at the location.
For these reasons, the Redevelopment Agency Meeting will not have a physical location at the
City and County Building and all attendees will connect remotely.
