Luncheons
There are two luncheons that Council Members are invited to on Thursday, December 6, 2012. Both are luncheons that have been of interest to Council Members in the past:
•Annual Public Utilities Advisory Committee Christmas Luncheon
Little America Hotel, 500 South Main, Wyoming Room
•Legislative Luncheon
Utah Cultural Celebration Center – 1355 West 3100 South
This legislative priorities luncheon is a traditional activity for the Council of Governments (COG) members and the legislators of Salt Lake County. It has proven to be a useful means for developing a mutual understanding of common needs and problems in Salt Lake County. We have appreciated your past attendance and look forward to meeting and talking with you again.
Ø Are Council Members available to attend either of these luncheons?
No response voiced – Ms. Gust-Jensen requested any RSVP be provided to Staff as soon as possible.

Annual Calendar
Ms. Gust-Jensen explained Staff would like to clarify the 2013 Meeting Calendar.; specifically the meeting start time of 2:00 p.m….some discussion had entailed a change to 3:00 p.m.
Ø Did the Council determine to remain at the 2:00 p.m. meeting start time for 2013?
Ø Was there a change to include the second Tuesday of the month being RDA only and for the Council to meet on the fourth Tuesday as tentative if needed?
