City Council Meetings are moving to Tuesdays in January 2025! You can see all planned meetings here: West Jordan Event Calendar. Check regularly for updates.

You can also see more details about each upcoming meeting here.

Public portal software updates – Council agendas more accessible than ever

West Jordan City Council and Planning Commission meetings will also be more interactive, searchable, and transparent with coming updates to PrimeGov Agenda Management software.

• We will continue to use PrimeGov for recording and broadcasting meetings online and for packet access.

• Live meetings will have instant closed-captioning in English and in Spanish.

• A full, word-for-word, searchable transcript will be available 3-5 days post-meeting. You will be able to download the file as a .txt file and convert it to a language of your choice.

• Once the searchable transcript is available, you will be able to navigate to the point in the meeting when the topic is discussed. This helps residents find more information on the topic they are interested in without having to watch the whole meeting.

• The public has access to all packet information the council has access to. Each agenda item has the accompanying materials listed next to it. They can be viewed in your favorite web browser or downloadable in PDF.

• Past meetings, agendas and packets prior to 2020 are always available for public viewing on https://westjordan.utah.gov/government/agendas.

How to participate

Definitions for better understanding. What is…?

• An agenda? The agenda is the list of topics and legislation the planning commission or council will talk about and potentially approve or deny. If a topic is not on the agenda 24 hours before the meeting, it cannot be discussed. This keeps council meetings predictable and transparent for the public.
• A planning commission? The planning commission is a group of residents who review land use proposals that are submitted to the city and work closely with the city planners. Any resident can apply to be a commission member and are chosen by the mayor, with advice and consent by the city council.
• A committee of the whole? These meetings are open to the public but no official action or voting is taken. They are meetings that allow everyone a chance to discuss topics at length without the formalities of Council Meeting rules
• A city council? The City Council is made of seven elected members from West Jordan City. Council members serve for four-year terms. There are no term limits for council members. At-large seats are offset from the four district seats – meaning they run in different elections.
• Council packet/documents? Agenda items have supporting information put together by staff for the council to understand all aspects of a topic, including official forms, declarations, proposals and notes. These documents are always available to the public.
