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 challenging to determine what Council members are 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 in-person meeting will be held in the Council Chambers. 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.

Action Agenda
An election of the Municipal Council Chair and Vice-chair. (22-001)
Per Provo City Code Section 2.50.020(2), the Council is required to elect a Chair and Vice-chair.
The current Council Chair will ask for nominations from Council Members for a new Chair (no second is required for a nomination). By Provo City Code, no discussion shall be had regarding the nomination. When all nominations have been made, the Chair then calls for a separate vote on each nominee in the order of their nomination. As soon as any nominee receives four or more votes, that nominee is elected as the new Chair, and more votes are held. If no nominee receives four or more votes in the first round of voting, then subsequent rounds of voting will continue until a majority vote is accomplished.
The current Chair then repeats the process for the office of Vice-chair.
A resolution consenting to the appointment of individuals to various boards and commissions (22-009)
Mayor Kaufusi has submitted the names of individuals who she recommends for appointment to the Parks and Recreation Board, Provo Housing Authority Board, and the Library Board.

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 track the item through the legislative process and organize the supporting materials.
You may find it helpful in cases where an item may be worded 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
