Citizens Agenda for Meetings on June 4, 2019

Citizens Agenda

Council meeting agendas are often difficult for people to navigate. Filled with jargon and legal requirements on how an item must be listed, it can be a challenge to determine what Council members are actually discussing or deciding on.
What follows is a staff interpretation of the agendas.

PROVO MUNICIPAL COUNCIL
Work Meeting Agenda
2:00 PM, Tuesday, June 4, 2019

Work Meetings are designed to be a less formal venue for discussion among Council Members. Generally, no public input is taken during the meeting.

Redevelopment Agency

1. A discussion regarding a resolution authorizing the Chief Executive Officer to enter into a lease agreement with Blue Sky Development to allow them to utilize parking spaces for a pending mixed-use project at 105 East Center Street. (19-070)
   
   • Blue Sky Development is planning a mixed use development at the corner of Center Street and 100 East. They will park their residential tenants but need assistance parking their commercial tenants and are requesting the use of some of the Agency's spaces in the Wells Fargo tower.

Business

2. A discussion regarding an update to Provo City Code Title 10 making amendment to the Sewer and Water Chapters of the Title. (19-072)
   
   • Changes to Title 10 - Water Resources Chapters 10.02 (Water Service - General Provisions), 10.03 (Sewer Service - General Provisions), and 10.04 (Pre-treatment Program). These changes update the code to create consistency with the development guidelines and comply with State and Federal regulations.
3. A discussion regarding the repeal of Provo City Code Section 2.60.040 (19-071)
   
   • This section of the code reflects historic procedures in the Council office that predated the current use of technology to facilitate publication of meeting materials.
4. A discussion regarding an appropriation for a temporary apparatus facility during the relocation of Fire Station #2 (19-073)
   
   • When the new Fire Station is being built the Fire Department is going to be temporarily relocated during that time. They have a location they'll be leasing for living quarters for the firefighters and intended to lease the location for the fire apparatus. However, when they ran the numbers, they found the cost for leasing the apparatus during this time to be near what it would cost to purchase outright. They believe they can re-use this temporary facility for apparatus storage and move it to the Public Works Fleet Management and re-assemble for apparatus storage.
     

Budget Committee

5. A discussion regarding Fire Department budget requests. (19-004)

• The Fire Department requested two appropriations. First, they requested a capital equipment replacement fund creation. This would be similar to the Recreation Center where they put money into a fund so they can replace equipment as needed. And second they requested a civilian Dispatch Director, someone who could manage the Dispatch office and wouldn't require Civil Service entry. They were granted funding for the civilian Dispatch Director, but not the replacement fund. The Chief will come and explain each of these requests in more detail and spend time answering questions for the Council.

6. A discussion regarding the Provo City Citizens' Budget. (19-004)
   
   • Council staff have prepared a user-friendly document that highlights and compares items from the proposed FY2020 Provo City budget.

Policy Items Referred from the Planning Commission

7. The Provo City Community Development Department requests an amendment to Section 14.38.085(7) to clarify limitations on signage within the North University Riverbottoms Design Corridor.  City-wide application. PLOTA20190026
   
   • Provo City Community Development is requesting an ordinance amendment to subsection 14.38.085(7), to clarify prohibited signs in the North University Riverbottoms Design Corridor. Section 14.38.085 was enacted in 1996 to provide consistent design through this part of that City, and minor adjustments have been made over the years. Due to recent concerns about what types of signs are allowed, staff has brought forward this proposal to clean up language and clarify what signage is prohibited. The proposed language explicitly prohibits any signs that are not otherwise authorized by subsection one, which clarifies the restriction for property owners and residents in the area.

Closed Meeting

• Closed meetings (aka executive meetings) are held without the public present and must meet one of the conditions listed in Utah State Code (§ 52-4-204 and 52-4-205 et. seq.). If a closed meeting is needed, it will be announced at that time.

Every year, as Lead Entity for the Utah Valley HOME Consortium, Provo City submits an Annual Action Plan (an update to the Five-Year Consolidated Plan submitted to HUD) outlining the goals, objectives and  the proposed use of federal CDBG and HOME resources to address housing, economic development, and community development projects to be undertaken.

Action Agenda

   • Provo School District needs to expand the Timpview High School campus and has submitted a contract for the purchase of the Timp Kiwanis Bounous Park (TKP) property adjacent to the high school. TKP is on the surplus property list. If approved, the sale is contingent upon approval of the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) conversion proposal of TKP from the National Park Service (NPS). If approved for sale and upon approval from the NPS, the proceeds are required, per LWCF requirements, to be used for the purchase of 60 acres of property in Southwest Provo.
10. A resolution appropriating $2,200,000 in the Parks and Recreation Capital Improvement Plan Fund for the purchase of property located on Lakeview Parkway, applying to fiscal year ending June 30, 2019. (19-069)
    
    • The Parks and Recreation Department is intending to purchase a parcel of land located on the west side of Provo just off the Lakeview Parkway and they are intending to use this parcel for open space, regional fields, and in ways they believe will benefit the economic development of the west side of Provo. This discussion was started when the City discovered they were non-compliant with a parcel of property that was purchase with Land and Water Conservation Funds (LWCF). The property had fallen out of compliance due to the requirements of Timpview High relative to the parcel. The LWCF rules indicate that parcels purchase with this money cannot limit access to the community. Since Timpview High was regularly limiting the use by using a portion of the property for sports practices and limiting participation from the community on a regular basis, the decision was made to sell the Timp-Kiwanis Park property to the Provo School District. The LWCF further has restrictions on where that money can be spent. In order to comply with LWCF regulations the decision was made to take that money and put it into this parcel to use for the purposes stated. The appropriation will be funded by the transfer from the General Fund and then repaid from the revenues from the sale of Timp-Kiwanis Park.

What do those numbers at the ends of the agenda items mean?

• Items on the agenda are given a file number by Council staff or Community Development staff to help with tracking the item through the legislative process and to organize the supporting materials.
• You may find it helpful in cases where an item may be worded a little differently on different agendas. Matching up that file number helps you see that it is the same issue.
