Brown Act is a “public access law” that ensures the public's right to attend the meetings of public agencies, facilitates public participation in all phases of local government decision-making, and curbs misuse of the democratic process by secret legislation.
A public meeting refers to a meeting that is open to the public. A public hearing is open to the public but is regarding a specific proposal/project.
The law states that a meeting is a gathering of a quorum of the members of a public body, either in person or through electronic methods, with the intention of discussing or deciding on public policy. The law requires that all meetings must be open to the public, unless exempted under executive sessions.
A public body is required to provide public notice of a meeting at least 24 hours before the meeting.
Public notice informs members of the general public of government or government-related activities which may concern their local area, municipality, county, or state. The Open and Public Meetings Act (Utah Code Title 52, Chapter 4) mandates that notice and the agendas of public meetings be available to the public.
In general, sidewalks are considered public property, not the property of the homeowner. This means that snow removal isn't necessarily the homeowner's responsibility. However, if the homeowner takes action that increases a pedestrian's risk of injury, they will be held liable.
Public property refers to property owned by the government (or its agency), rather than by a private individual or a company. It belongs to the public at large. Examples include many parks, streets, sidewalks, libraries, schools, playgrounds that are used regularly by the general public. Compare: private property.
