This meeting will be an electronic meeting pursuant to the Chair’s determination:
I, Amy Fowler, 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.
