Work Meetings are designed to be a less formal venue for discussion among Council Members. Generally, no public input is taken during the meeting.
Business
- An introduction of Karen Larsen, recommended Director of Customer Service (18-020)
- An ordinance was passed on January 23, 2018, creating the Department of Customer Service. It was previously a division under the Mayor’s office. Mayor Kaufusi is recommending the appointment of the current division head, Karen Larsen, as the department director. Consent of the Council is required for these appointments. This will be voted on in the regular Council meeting.
- A presentation on the Provo Library and potential budget requests (18-005)
- The Council has asked to hear from various departments and have them share information on likely budget requests in advance of receiving the tentative Provo City budget in May.
- A presentation on the Administrative Services Department and potential budget requests (18-005)
- The Council has asked to hear from various departments and have them share information on likely budget requests in advance of receiving the tentative Provo City budget in May.
- A discussion on a post-performance sales tax increment agreement at East Bay Shopping Center (18-021)
- The Economic Development Department will present an overview and proposal for a potential sales tax increment agreement with the new owners of the East Bay Shopping Center in order to provide retail incentives to offset certain costs in attracting new tenants to the shopping center. The new owners will be present at the meeting to answer questions. The purpose is to work with the new property owners of the East Bay Shopping Center to create an incentive agreement to backfill historically vacant storefronts.
- The model for this incentive would be similar to that used at the Parkway Village located on University Parkway. The agreement would allow the owners to recoup up to half of their out-of-pocket expenses and then share additional tax revenue if additional time remains on the term of the agreement, up to actual costs.
