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.
The official published agendas and supporting materials can be found here:  http://agendas.provo.org

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
  1. 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.
  2. 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
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.

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.

Action Agenda

    • After an open and thorough hiring search, John Magness will be appointed as a Policy Analyst for the City Council.
  2. A resolution consenting to the appointment of individuals to various boards and commissions. (19-003)
    • Mayor Kaufusi has recommended several individuals for reappointment or new appointment to the Energy Board - Julie Radle, Cheryl Taylor, Ned Hill, Gary Winterton, and George Stewart.

    • This was item 6 on the work meeting agenda
  4. An ordinance amending the Claim Settlement Authority Schedule in Provo City Code and providing for automatic inflation adjustments. (19-149)
    • This was item 5 on the work meeting agenda
  5. A resolution adopting an updated water conservation plan. (19-105)
    • Utah Code 73-10-32 requires retail water providers to adopt an updated version of their Water Conservation Plan every five years. Before adopting the plan, the retail water provider is required to hold a public hearing with reasonable advance public notice. Bowen Collins and Associates Consulting Engineers was hired to update Provo's Water Conservation Plan. This plan was preliminarily presented to the Council in a work meeting on October 8, 2019. Since then, the plan has been reviewed by the Utah Division of Water Resources and recommended for formal adoption by the Council. Provo City has heretofore exceeded performance metrics established by the State for water conservation and the citizens of Provo deserve to be commended for their responsible use of water.  Recently published new regional water conservation goals, however, are more challenging than ever and continued diligence is necessary. Update of Provo's Water Conservation Plan is due by December 31, 2019.
  6. An ordinance amending Provo City Code to correct and update Title 18 (Storm Water) and the associated design and management manual. (19-109)
    • This was item 4 on the work meeting agenda
  7. A resolution amending the Provo City Impact Fee Facilities Plan "IFFP" with respect to wastewater projects. (19-138)
    • The Public Works Department has requested an update the Wastewater Impact fee Facility Plan (IFFP) to include the Wastewater infrastructure needs for the Medical School and the Mix projects.
  8. An ordinance enacting Provo City Code Section 15.03.105 (Temporary Limitations on Certain Sewer Connections). Citywide application. (PLOTA20190392)
    • The request to amend this section of the Provo City Code is in response to limited sewer capacity west of I-15 in Provo and the potential for new development in that area to exceed the current capacity. The proposed text amendment would apply to any applications for new development in that area. Because of the length of the proposed amendment, staff recommended that the proposed language become a new code section (15.03.105).
  9. A resolution approving and authorizing a Section 108 loan transaction for $2,500,000 for infrastructure improvements to fulfill obligations related to the expansion of Duncan Aviation. (19-136)
    • When Duncan Aviation relocated to Provo, Provo City committed to building some of the infrastructure necessary to make that possible (see the attached resolution from 2017). One of the funding sources to pay for the infrastructure was a 108 Loan from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).  We are in the process of finalizing our loan documents with HUD. One of HUD's requirements is that the City’s governing body passes a resolution authorizing the City to enter into this loan agreement with HUD. Since the City will need to complete all documentation before the end of the year, a resolution would need to be passed in the Council Meeting on December 10, 2019 to agree to this loan.
  10. A resolution approving the transfer of $2,500,000 in Section 108 loan proceeds from the CDBG Fund to the Airport Fund for municipal infrastructure related to the expansion of Duncan Aviation. (19-141)
    • Pending funding of the Section 108 loan agreement with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, the loan proceeds will be deposited into the CDBG Fund.  This resolution is necessary to transfer loan proceeds from the CDBG Fund into the Airport Fund to be reimbursed for airport infrastructure improvements.

    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.
    Council meetings are broadcast live and available later on demand at https://www.youtube.com/user/ProvoCityCouncil
