All those joining the meeting will be placed in a "waiting room" until the host joins each attendee. We ask that you identify yourself on your device, so the Council and staff know who you are. All public participants will be muted and can use the "raise hand" icon if wished to be heard.

You may also submit written comments to nleigh@bhtown.utah.gov prior to the meeting.
