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.

PROVO MUNICIPAL COUNCIL
Work Meeting Agenda
12:00 pm, Tuesday, May 4, 2021
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
A presentation regarding the Quarterly Report for the 2nd Quarter of Fiscal 2021. (21-007)
A high-level overview of the financial results of the 2nd Quarter of fiscal year 2021.
An appropriation of $112,162 in the Ice Sheet Fund for Turf Replacement at Peaks Ice Arena. (21-058)
The turf field at Peaks Ice Arena is the only public indoor turf field in Provo. Patrons are able to train year-round on the synthetic turf field. It is an ideal space for soccer, lacrosse, football, baseball, and other activities. The turf field at the Peaks Ice Arena generates close to $200,000 annually. The turf field is 200 ft. by 80 ft. Installed approximately 10 years ago, the turf is in need of replacement. The seams are separating causing potential safety hazards and the beads are hardening and losing their cushion. Given the industry standard for a field of this kind, we are well past the lifespan of the material. We would like to use fund balance to replace this indoor turf at the arena with a newer and safer surface. This turf diversification and annual revenue is key to the successful operation of the arena.
A presentation regarding the different types of Fund Accounts the city uses to pay for projects, services, debt and other functions required of the city. (21-015)
During the budget process the Council has heard about revenues and expenditures being transferred between different Fund Accounts. This presentation is to give the Council information on how revenues from different sources are deposited into Fund Accounts and then transferred out to pay for goods and services required by the city.
A discussion regarding proposed changes to the Council Handbook. (21-060)
The Provo City Municipal Council Handbook serves as a guide to the Council, its processes and procedures, and is generally consistent with City and State Code. This item is to address four proposed changes:
1. Require the request of two Council members instead of one to continue an item to the next regularly scheduled meeting;
2. Address the changed relationship between the City Attorney and the Council;
3. Enable the funding of other professional services using monies budgeted for the retention of separate legal counsel; and
4. Update the Council Office hiring process consistent with changes to the Executive Director’s duties.
A presentation regarding the Sustainability Committee's Annual Update. (21-059)
Robert Mills and Don Jarvis are planning on a 30 minute discussion on sustainability at a work meeting. Attached is the Citizens' Sustainability Committee Report for 2020 to pass on to the Council in preparation for our discussion. Also, Robert will report on his work as acting Sustainability Coordinator and chair of the Employees' Sustainability Committee.
A discussion regarding the hiring of a contractor to complete a Sustainability Plan as part of the General Plan update. (21-059)
At the March 30, 2021, Work Meeting the Council heard a presentation from Councilor Handley regarding the need for Provo City to have a Sustainability Program. As part of that program, it was discussed about having a Sustainability Plan, and having that plan included as part of the General Plan update process that the city is currently undertaking. It was decided that the Foothills Committee should investigate the different options for having the work completed. After several meetings, the Foothills Committee is making their recommendation regarding the hiring of a contractor to complete a Sustainability Plan as part of the General Plan update.
A presentation on Provo City's progress on General Plan goals. (21-061)
Staff surveyed department directors about progress on the General Plan goals during 2020 and will be providing a summary report indicating changes since 2019.
A discussion on Rank Choice Voting and the possible use for the 2021 Municipal Elections. (21-047)
The presentation is a quick overview of the ranked choice voting survey, leading to a discussion by the Council and possibly a vote on whether or not to participate in the pilot project.
Policy Items Referred from the Planning Commission
An ordinance amending Provo City Code Chapter 14.20B. Citywide Application. (PLOTA20210026)
The applicant is requesting an ordinance text amendment to update the current Freeway Commercial Two (FC2) zone specifically to apply to two parcels located north and south of Lakeview Parkway which is currently zoned as A120 and vacant. The proposed amendment will apply to all FC2 zones. The Southwest Neighborhood Land Use Plan encourages this type of development at the location. Planning Commission recommended approval.
An ordinance amending the General Plan Southwest Area Future Land Use Map designation for approximately 10 acres of real property, generally located approximately at 1850 South 500 West, from LDR to Commercial. Lakewood Neighborhood. (PLGPA20210058)
The applicant is requesting a general plan amendment to update the current Southwest Future Land Use Map from LDR to Commercial. The proposed amendment will redesignate one parcel approximately 10 acres in size. Planning Commission recommended approval.
An ordinance amending the Zone Map classification of approximately 75 acres of real property, generally located at 500 W. Lakeview Parkway, from Agricultural (A1.20) to Freeway Commercial Two (FC-2). Lakewood Neighborhood. (PLRZ20210025)
The applicant is requesting a zone change from Agricultural A1.20 zone to the Freeway Commercial Two (FC2) zone. The proposed rezone is to provide commercial development opportunities north and south of Lakeview Parkway adjacent to the 1-15 off-ramp. The Southwest Neighborhood Land Use Plan encourages this type of development at the location. Customarily, rezone requests are associated with a specific development proposal and are concurrently processed with some project application. In this case, however, no pending development proposal is associated with the rezone request. Rather, this is a proactive measure to alert the development community of the specific types of development that the City does and, equally important, does not want to see on the subject site. Planning Commission recommended approval.
An ordinance amending the Zone Map classification of approximately 0.23 acres of real property, generally located at 734 West 300 South, from Residential (R1.6A) to Low Density Residential (LDR). Franklin Neighborhood. (PLRZ20210059)
The applicant is requesting to rezone his property from R1.6A to accommodate a subdivision of the property located at 734 W 300 S into two lots. The proposed lots would be smaller than the minimum lot size requirement of the existing zone so the rezone to LDR is needed to accommodate for the smaller lots. The existing single-family home would remain on one of the lots and the other lot would accommodate a new single-family home to be built. Planning Commission recommended approval.
An ordinance amending Provo City Code regarding conditional uses in the Freeway Commercial (FC1) Zone. Citywide Application. (PLOTA20210000262)
Brittany Johnson is requesting an ordinance text amendment to the conditional use section of the FC1 zone to add a new conditional use of cannabis production (with certain restrictions). Planning Commission recommended approval with conditions.

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
