Citizens Agenda for Meetings on June 7, 2022

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 both in person and virtually. 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.



PROVO MUNICIPAL COUNCIL

Work Meeting Agenda

1:00 pm, Tuesday, June 7, 2022


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


  1. A resolution imposing fire restrictions due to hazardous environmental conditions. (22-048)

    • On May 18, 2022, the Fire Marshal issued an order of fire restrictions for the Provo City Watershed. As required by Utah State Code 15A-5-202.5(1)b, the fire restriction order is coming to the legislative body for adoption. 

  2. An ordinance amending Provo City code to conform with Utah code requirements regarding emergency meetings of the Provo City Municipal Council. Citywide application. (22-041)

    • Provo City Code Section 2.50.040 governs the process for calling emergency meetings of the Municipal Council. The process as outlined in the current version of the City Code does not conform in some particulars with Utah State law requirements set forth in Utah Code Section 52-4-202(5), which governs public notice for calling emergency meetings. The proposed ordinance brings City Code into conformity with the State requirements.

  3. A presentation regarding a General Plan timeline update. (22-011)

    • This is an update on the progress of the new General Plan and includes information on the Y2 Analytics survey and a review of the timeline going forward.


Items Referred from the Planning Commission


  1. An ordinance enacting Provo City Code Chapter 14.14D (Mixed-Use Zones). Citywide application. PLOTA20220144

    • The Development Services Department has proposed to amend the Provo City Code to add the Mixed Use Zones chapter as Chapter 14.14D and Signs Permitted in the Mixed Use Zones as Section 14.38.106. This chapter (14.14D) includes two zones, the Mixed-Use (MU) Zone and Neighborhood Mixed-Use (NMU) Zone. The two mixed-use zones correlate together, and staff saw a need to include the two zones in one zoning chapter of the Provo City Code, which is common and best practice.


Business


  1. A presentation regarding a comparison of General Fund revenues per capita in Utah cities (22-016)

    • At the Work Meeting on May 3, 2022, Council staff presented a comparison of General Fund per capita expenditures for various Utah County cities. This presentation is a follow-up to a request from Council to compare revenues as well. Provo maintains a healthy General Fund balance as permitted by State law; the Council hopes to understand the bigger picture by comparing both expenditures and revenues between Provo and other Utah County cities.

  2. A presentation regarding the relationship between utility rates, property tax rates, and fees. (22-016)

    • This presentation will cover one of the reports staff have compiled to assist the Council in the budget analysis process. This presentation will cover the history and current status of utility rates, property tax rates, and fees. There have been two previous presentations given to the Council leading up to this final presentation- one solely focusing on property tax and the other focusing on fees. This presentation will be about the relationship between fees, rates, and property taxes and how they affect the different revenue streams and financial stability of the city. 

  3. A presentation regarding the Consolidated Fee Schedule for the FY2023 budget. (22-016)

    • Each year during the budget process, City departments submit updates for the Consolidated Fee Schedule (CFS). The CFS is an exhibit in the budget ordinance that will be passed by the Council to approve the FY2023 budget. The CFS includes rate increases for various city utilities, as well as any other fees that will increase in the coming fiscal year. This presentation is for the purposes of discussing any proposed changes. 

  4. A presentation regarding the Council's budget intent statements and priorities. (22-016)

    • The Council has had previous discussions concerning budget priorities, carryover funds, supplemental requests, and the use of federal recovery funds. Creating a budget intent statement gives the public and the City Administration an understanding of how the Council thinks revenue should be spent and the priority given to different programs within the City. For this presentation, staff will present and discuss various parts of the proposed budget ordinance and seek direction on any changes requested or proposed by the Council. Any additional intentions should also be discussed at this time.

  5. A presentation regarding current budget changes and reconciliations requested by the Council. (22-016)

    • The City's finance team had prepared a presentation regarding the Council's current requested changes to the FY2023 budget. This presentation will go over the associated reconciliations regarding those requested changes.

  6. A presentation regarding potential new budget changes requested by the Council. (22-016)

    • This is an opportunity for Councilors to discuss and vote on any further budgetary changes they would like to see in addition to the current reconciliations


Closed Meeting

  • Closed meetings (aka executive meetings) are held without the public present and must meet one of the conditions listed in Utah State Code (§ 52-4-204 and 52-4-205 et. seq.). If a closed meeting is needed, it will be announced at that time.

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.
