The meeting started at 5:30 pm.
Karen moved to approve the January 6, 2021 meeting minutes, Nate seconded the motion. Motion
passed unanimously.
Dale Gunther’s Replacement
Brandon Smith has been appointed by Mayor Frost to replace Dale Gunther on the Board.
The Council has decided not to change the Resolution appointing the PARC Advisory Board Members at
this time. Perhaps in the future when the PARC Grant Tax comes up for renewal the Council will address
this issue at that time. The Council has asked the Board to name three Board members to advocate for
parks, art/cultural, and recreation.
Brian moved to appoint Laurel Shelley to represent Art/Cultural; Scott Okelberry to represent Parks
and Brandon Smith represent Recreation. Karen seconded the motion and the motion carried
unanimously.
Carry Forward Funds
All organizations are required to report all grant funds that have not been used in the FY 2020-2021, due
to the Covid-19, and submit to the Mayor and Council. Projects for FY 2020-2021 and FY 2021-2022,
using carry-over funding, will need to specify such amounts in their respective application. Carry
forward funds can only be used for the projects that they were originally allocated for.

NOTICE OF MEETING AND AGENDA
*NOTICE OF ELECTRONIC MEETING*
In accordance with Resolution No. 2020-07-20R, Chairman Thompson has determined that
conducting meetings of the PARC Tax Advisory Board with an anchor location, such as the City
Council Chambers or Administration Conference Room, presents a substantial risk to the health
and safety of those who may be present there. The following are facts upon which this
determination has been made:
• Utah has declared a Statewide Public Health Emergency due to COVID-19 on October
14, 2020, a virus outbreak that has been recognized by the World Health Organization,
federal, state and local leaders as a pandemic.
• The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has stated that COVID-19 is
easily spread from person to person between people who are in close contact with one
another through respiratory droplets when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or talks.
This virus can also be spread by people who are asymptomatic.
• Federal, state, and local authorities recommend that individuals limit public gatherings,
wear face masks, and follow social distancing guidelines.
• It is difficult to anticipate the number of attendees at any meeting in order to maintain
social distancing to comply with Utah Health Guidance levels. Further, regardless of the
number of attendees, social distancing measures for Council, staff, and attendees will be
difficult to maintain in the City Council Chambers and Administration Conference Room.
• COVID-19 ntinues to pose an immediate threat to the health, safety, and welfare of
American Fork City residents.
• American Fork City can provide a way for the public to hear, or hear and view, open
portions of City Council meetings and to provide a way to participate in public hearings.
For the next 30 days, all PARC Tax Advisory Board meetings will be conducted via electronic
means. The meetings are broadcast live-streamed, and available at a later time, at
