It’s a brand-new year, which means that Council Members are setting goals both individually and together as the legislative body of our City. One of the Council’s shared goals is to increase awareness of what actions the Council is taking during our meetings in real time. We hope to achieve this by live-tweeting our meetings.
Council Member Kelvin Green said, “We as a council know that West Jordan is filled with hard working people who look forward to spending time with their family and friends when they get home from their jobs. By live-tweeting our proceedings, we hope members of the public can tune into the parts of our work sessions and meetings that are most important to them.”
In other news, a majority of the Council has selected the Justice Center Community Room as our alternate meeting location to City Hall. We needed to select an alternate location, as there will be a point during the City Hall remodel when Council Chambers is inaccessible.
Council Member Zach Jacob said, “Among the available rooms we had to choose from for an alternative site for council meetings, we decided the Justice Center Community Room made the most sense. It’s right next door to City Hall, so it won’t be too much of an adjustment for staff or for residents. The temporary adjustment should be rather seamless.”
The Council will remain in Council Chambers until construction makes it impossible to have meetings within City Hall. We will notify the public via social media and public notice when the transition occurs sometime in early 2022.
