SALT LAKE CITY EMERGENCY PROCLAMATION
No. 16 of 2020
MAYOR’S EXERCISE OF EMERGENCY POWERS
RELATED TO
SALT LAKE CITY EMERGENCY PROCLAMATION NO. 15 OF 2020
On September 8, 2020, pursuant to her authority under Utah Code Sections 53-2a-208(1)(a)
and 53-2a-209(1) and Salt Lake City Code Chapter 22.03, the Mayor of Salt Lake City declared a
local emergency due to a hurricane force windstorm in Salt Lake City on September 8, 2020 that
caused treefalls and property damage.
Under City Code 22.03.030, while the proclamation of local emergency due to the
windstorm is in effect, the Mayor of Salt Lake City may exercise certain emergency powers by
proclamation.
In order to address the emergency conditions created by hurricane force windstorm and
protect the citizens of Salt Lake City, the Mayor of Salt Lake City desires to exercise her
emergency powers to enact Salt Lake City Emergency Proclamation Number 16 to do the
following:
1. Park and Cemetery Closures. Treefalls due to the windstorm in the following
parks, open space, and cemetery were significant and are causing dangerous conditions. While the
City works to remove the fallen trees, branches, and debris, the following parks, open space, and
cemetery are closed to all forms of public access, including, but not limited to, vehicular,
pedestrian, bicycle and skateboard access:
a. Liberty Park
b. Fairmont Park
c. Sunnyside Park
d. Jordan Park
e. Lindsey Gardens
f. Richmond Park
g. Riverside Park
h. Washington Square
i. Salt Lake City Cemetery
Each closure will remain in effect until the City’s Public Services Department determines that the
danger from the fallen trees has been mitigated and a park is safe to reopen. Upon such a
determination, the Public Services Department will have the authority to reopen such park without
an additional proclamation from the Mayor.
2. Term. This proclamation shall take effect immediately and will be ongoing for as
long as Salt Lake City Emergency Proclamation No. 15 of 2020 is in effect, unless this
proclamation is amended or rescinded by the Mayor (“Term”) or unless all parks identified in this
September 10, 2020
2
proclamation are reopened by the Public Services Department, in which case this proclamation
will automatically terminate.
3. Filing and Dissemination. This proclamation will be filed with the Salt Lake City
Recorder.
Dated this 9th day of September 2020.
