Citizens Agenda for Meetings on January 7, 2020

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
1:00 pm, Tuesday, January 7, 2020

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 training on the Open and Public Meetings Act and on Government Records Access and Management Act (GRAMA) requests. (20-006)
    • Utah State law requires Council members to receive annual training on the Open and Public Meetings Act. State Law 52-4-104 says, “The presiding officer of the public body shall ensure that the members of the public body are provided with annual training on the requirements of this chapter." This training will fulfill that requirement.
  2. A presentation regarding updates on new City Center Building design. (20-013)
    • Scott Henderson will update the Council about the designs for the new City Center Building, especially the Council Office and Chambers.
  3. A presentation regarding Wastewater plans. (20-014)
    • Dave Decker, Director of Public Works, will present to the Council about plans for wastewater infrastructure and management. Proper wastewater management will be a key piece in preparing for anticipated population growth, especially on the west side of Provo. The wastewater treatment facility will also be rebuilt on the current site.
  4. A discussion regarding past Council goals and objectives. (20-016)
    • The Council had identified several goals and objectives for 2019. Councilor Harding will discuss these past goals and objectives in order to frame the new goals for 2020.
  5. A presentation regarding the progress of the Council ad hoc Committees. (20-015)
    • The Council currently has six active ad hoc committees: Housing, Zoning Compliance, Foothill Protection, Sign, Joaquin Parking, Downtown Parking. Council staff will briefly highlight the progress of each committee so far.
  6. A presentation regarding the Utah Valley Chamber of Commerce's Valley Visioning project. (20-011)
    • Rona Rahlf, President and CEO of the Utah Valley Chamber of Commerce, will present an overview of their work with the Valley Visioning project. More  information about Valley Visioning can be found here: https://www.envisionutah.org/projects/valley-visioning
  7. A presentation regarding the State Auditor Fraud Risk Assessment. (20-012)
    • Our independent auditors recommended that the City complete the fraud risk questionnaire to help assess where the City should focus to strengthen internal controls.





Policy Items Referred from the Planning Commission
  1. Ordinances amending the General Plan designation/ Zone Map classification of approx 0.78 acres of property generally located at 862 E Quail Valley Dr from Public Facilities (PF) to Residential (R). Edgemont Neighborhood. (PLGPA20190009/ PLRZ20180430)
    • The subject property is an infill parcel located between the existing office building on Quail Valley Drive and the Timpview High School Seminary. The applicant is proposing to amend the General Plan Land Use Map designation for the property from Public Facilities (PF) to Residential (R) to allow for a six-unit, single-family townhome development project. Planning Commission recommended approval.
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.

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
