Citizens Agenda for Meetings on December 10, 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
2:30 PM, Tuesday, December 10, 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.

Business

1. A presentation regarding the Pleasant View Neighborhood Plan from the collaborating student team from Brigham Young University. (19-148)
   
   • This semester, Provo City staff have worked with a BYU class on the Pleasant View Neighborhood Plan. The students will present their progress to the Council. The plan will not have gone to planning commission in final form, but they are also presenting to the planning commission in the November meeting study session.

Redevelopment Agency

2. A discussion regarding the proposed project area plan and budget for the Medical School Community Reinvestment Project Area. (19-142, 19-143, and 19-144)
   
   • The City and the Agency have been working towards the development of a medical school on a property formerly a part of the Provo Municipal Golf course for over two years. As part of the discussions, the City agreed to use its best efforts to create a tax increment area, now known as a Community Reinvestment Area, on the portion of the development that would be utilized for housing and not for the balance of the medical school development.
3. A resolution designating a survey area, authorizing the preparation of a draft Community Reinvestment Project Area Plan and Budget, related to "The Mix" project, and authorizing and directing all necessary action. (19-139)
   
   • In order to create a Community Reinvestment Area, it is necessary to adopt a resolution by the approving body in order to meet the requirements of the Utah Legislative Code. The accompanying resolution allows us to start the process and began to create a redevelopment plan that will help pay for the sewer infrastructure upgrades the development (The Mix) will need.

Business

4. An ordinance amending the Claim Settlement Authority Schedule in Provo City Code to correct and update Title 18 (Storm Water) and the associated design and management manual. (19-109)
   
   • The stormwater design manual has not been updated since 1986. This manual, along with the city stormwater management program and illicit discharge detection and elimination manual, are adopted into Title 18 by reference. The Public Works Stormwater team proposes updates to these manuals and other wording contained within Title 18.
5. An ordinance amending Provo City Code and providing for automatic inflation adjustments. (19-149)
   
   • The Provo City Code has a claim settlement authority schedule that was put into place nearly 40 years ago. The figures in the schedule are badly outdated, leading to wasted employee time. The proposed ordinance seeks to rectify this problem.
6. A resolution adopting the 2020 Council regular Meeting schedule. (19-145)
   
   • Each December, the Council adopts their meeting schedule for the coming year. A draft of the meeting schedule for 2020 has been presented to the Council for their consideration during the Work Meeting, and they will vote on the calendar at the Council Meeting on December 10, 2019.
