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.

  6. A discussion regarding Parking Coordinator staffing options. (21-043)

    • In the Council Meeting on March 2, 2021, the Council reaffirmed their policies related to parking management. Part of the City's Strategic Parking Plan involves having a full-time parking coordinator. Several years ago, that position was reduced to half-time and was matched with the part-time sustainability coordinator due to budget constraints. The Council expressed an interest in restoring the parking coordinator role to full-time. The Administration has worked with the Council's Parking Committee to evaluate options for accelerating the decision to restore the parking coordinator role to full-time. The goal is to review the options provided by the Administration, select one, and schedule a public hearing/appropriation for March 30, 2021.
