The Utah
Government Records Access and Management Act (GRAMA) in Utah
Code Section 63G-2-201 provides citizens the right to request records from
any government entity. However, some records are restricted and any record
returned to a citizen through such a request may have some confidential
information that is redacted. The GRAMA process has built-in safeguards to
balance the public’s right to information against individual rights to privacy
and confidentiality. Government records related to enforcement should be
obtained by interested citizens through the GRAMA process. The Council will
have a Work Meeting presentation on October 12th to further educate
city staff, elected officials and interested citizens on privacy issues related
to enforcement records and on the GRAMA process and its purpose.
We encourage citizens to be civil and respectful in civic discourse. Even where there are strong differences of opinion regarding policy or political ideology, we hope that citizens will use language that is respectful of the opinions of others and avoid words and phrases intended to personally discredit or embarrass. Our hope is that we can disagree without being disagreeable. We wish to have vigorous policy discussions and debates without showing contempt for the opinions of others or the way they choose to serve their community.
