It is required by law for regular meetings open to the public be held by the Board of County Commissioners. A complete record shall also be kept permanently and made available for public access, including minutes "in which shall be recorded all orders and decisions made by the county legislative body and the daily proceedings had at all regular and special meetings." (Utah Code §17-53-209(1) [2014])
