- Keaton Morton is representing the ownership group for the property at approximately 3450 West Center Street in applying for a General Plan Map Amendment.

Program. (22-055 & PLOTA20220370)

This effort will have substantial benefits for both cities in reducing overhead costs, improving the reliability of dispatch services, accomplishing the goals of the State Legislature in improving dispatch efficiency statewide, and improving 911 response on our large common boundary with Orem City.
- We are in the very final editing stages of the services agreement. We expect to have the final agreement ready for adoption by the Council at the first Council meeting in January.

amending Provo City Code regarding towing operations to add a grace period for
patrol tows. (22-076)
