October 22, 2020 Update

Greetings from sunny St. George.  I am attending a two day, socially distanced and masked conference with the Utah City Management Association.  I hope your day is going well.  When I get back home Friday afternoon, I am looking forward to another fun BYU football game Saturday evening - hopefully one of the highlights of the weekend!

NEWS YOU CAN USE

  •  The Utah Judicial Performance Evaluation Commission has released information on the nearly 60 judges on the Utah ballot in order to help citizens make more informed decisions. This is an independent state panel that evaluates judges in an effort to help voters. 
  • NASA has successfully collected samples from the Bennu asteroid, floating 207 million miles away from earth. They are expecting the spacecraft to return in 2023 and land in Utah's West Desert. USU's own Space Dynamics Laboratory helped to build 3 cameras involved in the mission. 
  • The Covey Center has begun their production of Sleepy Hollow, and they are ensuring all social distancing and mask-wearing guidelines are being met.

THE MAYOR'S DAY

Today, Mayor Kaufusi:

  • Participated in Council Leadership Meeting
  • Met with representatives from BYU
  • Attended a meeting on the new City Center building
  • Participated in a MAG Executive Council meeting

FUN STUFF

My grandson's favorite board game is the "Game of Life."   It is a game that I can take or leave, but if every Game of Life was like this one, I might be a little more interested in the next round.


Thanks to Studio C for another fun video sketch. And thanks to you for all you do for us and for the residents of Provo.  Have a great weekend!
