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.

Action Agenda
An ordinance amending Titles 14 and 15 of the Provo City Code to remove gendered references and to make stylistic and grammatical corrections. (21-073)
This was item 10 in the work meeting.
Ordinance amending the Zone Map classification of approximately 1.07 acres of real property located at 50 E 3900 N from Residential (R1.10) to Low Density Residential (LDR) and Two Family Residential (R2) and authorizing a related development agreement. Riverbottoms Neighborhood (PLZR20190265)
On November 10, 2019, after several hearings by the Planning Commission, the Council voted 6:1 to reject a proposed rezone from Single-Family Residential (R1.10) to Low Density Residential (LDR) in order to build 10 townhomes. The Council indicated that they would be open to hearing a proposal for rezoning to Very Low Density Residential (VLDR) with fewer units at a future Work Meeting. The developer has returned with a new VLDR proposal for 6 units.
On February 2, 2021, the Council declined the rezone to VLDR and invited the applicant to make changes to address the concerns of the Council and come back before them. A new site plan and concept photos have been submitted and the developer has proffered a development agreement holding the development at ten units.

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
