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 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. For information on how to view the meetings and how to contribute public comments without attending in person, click here.

In early 2020, the Utah Valley Trails Alliance (UVTA) was asked by Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest to assist in developing a long-range trails plan for the mountains adjacent to the City of Provo.Provo City was also pursuing several activities relating to foothills land within city limits, and it was decided that an integrated City-National Forest plan was needed. This plan is intended to provide a framework for that effort,including immediate improvements and long-term visions.
A discussion regarding redistricting adjustments to City Council District maps. (22-003)
Counties and some cities are also required to re-divide legislative areas based on the 2020 census data. Cities must complete any redistricting of municipal legislative areas within six months of the state's adoption of new maps; that deadline is in May 2022. Provo's new Municipal Council District map will be created using the 59 precincts outlined by Utah County with the new 2020 census data.
In meetings earlier this year, the Provo Municipal Council voted to maintain the current Council makeup of 5 district elected seats and 2 at-large elected seats; however, new district boundaries will need to be drawn to accommodate population growths and shifts accounted for in the 2020 census data.
For these Council areas, any redistricting will affect any election or mid-term vacancies after the ordinance is adopted.
The public has now submitted 118 potential new Council District maps.Staff has provided information on each of the maps the Council will select which maps will be placed on Open City Hall for public input. The selection of the final map is anticipated at the March 15 Council meeting.

With the departure of Cliff Strachan as Executive Director of Council a new Executive Director will need to be hired. The committee that was created to start the search for the new director is proposing a process to achieve this goal. The committee is seeking input from the Council regarding the proposed process.

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
