The Salt Lake City Council plans to take its first big vote on the downtown sports and entertainment district Tuesday. Executive producer Emily Means and producer Ivana Martinez examine the proposal and how residents could still get involved in the process. Plus, alternative venues for the Utah Symphony, a heatwave volunteer opportunity, and a fun (if you can believe it) government Instagram account to follow.
