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
This meeting will be conducted as a hybrid meeting, with some in-person components as well as continued virtual meeting access. The meeting will be available to the public for live broadcast and on-demand viewing on YouTube and Facebook at: youtube.com/provocitycouncil and facebook.com/provocouncil. The in-person meeting will be held in the Council Chambers with limited seating to accommodate social distancing and related public health measures.

The budget process provides the Council an opportunity to express their policy preference to the Administration and give input into where additional funds could be spent to achieve the Council’s policy objectives. The Council has received presentations from all the departments and several Council Committees. During these presentations, the Council has heard from the departments about their needs and how they are trying to achieve the goals set out in the General Plan.

This is the second of two public hearings on the update. The CDBG and HOME Programs provide the City of Provo and other local governments with the opportunity to develop viable urban communities by funding activities that provide decent housing, a suitable living environment and by expanding economic opportunities, principally for low- and moderate-income persons. Funds are awarded to carry out a wide range of community development activities directed towards neighborhood revitalization, home ownership and condition of housing stock. The Programs are administered by the Community Planning and Development Office of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Every year, as Lead Entity for the Utah Valley HOME Consortium, Provo City submits an Annual Action Plan (an update to the Five-Year Consolidated Plan submitted to HUD) outlining the goals, objectives and the proposed use of federal CDBG and HOME resources to address housing, economic development, and community development projects to be undertaken. A Public Comment Period (March 20, 2021 to April 20, 2021) is conducted for citizens, partner agencies, and other interested parties to review and comment on the Plan. Along with the Public Comment Period, two public hearings are held to receive input from Provo citizens and Consortium members’ and citizens. The first public hearing on March 30, 2021 will present the Draft of PY-2021 AAP (Exhibit A) to Council members and the public in general. The document includes the proposed uses for CDBG and HOME funds which, to simplify the review of proposed projects, are also included in Exhibits B-for CDBG Capital Projects, C-for CDBG Public Services Projects, and D-for HOME Projects. These exhibits show the proposed funding recommendations made by Advisory Committees who listened to applicant presentations and reviewed and evaluated applications. Copies of the PY2021 AAP Draft are available for public review at the Community and Neighborhood Services Housing Division’s office and electronically at the City’s website. 2 The second public hearing on April 20, 2021 will close the Public Comment Period and provide the Municipal Council an opportunity to make final funding determinations for the HOME and CDBG programs for Program Year 2021, which begins on July 1, 2021 and ends on June 30, 2022.

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
