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
Due to the risks of public gathering associated with the spread of COVID-19, these meetings will be conducted entirely via electronic means.

A resolution to place the vacant property at 480 West Center on the Surplus Property List and to remove a parcel at the mouth of Provo Canyon therefrom. (20-110)
In 2013, Provo City acquired the property at 480 West Center, previously known as the "Roasted Artichoke." Provo City became involved in this property when the building condition was considered to be dangerous and needed to be demolished. The property has been sitting vacant since that time, except for a storage shed that is being used by the Parks and Recreation Department. The City has been approached by several individuals who have expressed interest in developing this property into a commercial use. Before pursuing any of those offers, it would be appropriate to first put the property on the Surplus Property List.
On February 28, 2019, the Provo Municipal Council approved the placement of a 39- acre parcel of ground located at the mouth of Provo Canyon on the Surplus Property List (Resolution 2019-12). After further discussion about the possibility of developing the property, it was determined that the property should remain as open space for trails and other recreational purposes and the property should be removed from the Surplus Property List.

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
