Citizens Agenda for Meetings on January 17, 2023

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 in-person meeting will be held in the Council Chambers (445 W. Center St., Provo). 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.

PROVO MUNICIPAL COUNCIL

Work Meeting Agenda

1:30 pm, Tuesday, January 17, 2023


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 presentation reviewing the Dispatch Services Agreement Between Provo City and Orem City (23-009)

    • The cities of Provo and Orem have combined their emergency dispatch centers effective December 25, 2022, and the cities need to formally approve the dispatch services agreement and a new budget for the dispatch program. At this work meeting, we will review the agreement and the budget in preparation for final approval of both at the January 31, 2023 council meeting. 

  2. A presentation regarding annual Council training. (23-002)

    • Under state law, the Council is required to have an annual training on the Government Records Access and Management Act (GRAMA) and the Open and Public Meetings Act (OPMA).

  3. A resolution of the Provo City Municipal Council outlining their support for adoption of the 2022 recommendations of Utah's Uniform Building Code Commission regarding building energy efficiency. (23-010)

    • Utah’s Uniform Building Code Commission is composed of thirteen experienced professionals appointed by the Governor, and has over this past year carefully considered changes to numerous 2021 building codes, including changes to the 2021 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) found within the state's building codes. These specific code changes address increasing energy efficiency standards within the state's building codes and are found within a larger bill updating all statewide building codes being heard at the Utah Legislature 2023 Session.

  4. An ordinance adopting the Provo City General Plan and appendices. Citywide application. (PLGPA20210364)

    • A general plan is a visioning document that sets long-range goals and plans for how a city will grow over the next 10 to 20 years. It helps guide citywide policy decisions and priorities and inspires a city to look toward the future. General plans are also required by state statute, and this proposal meets the current requirements. The updated General Plan can be found here: https://www.provo.org/home/showpublisheddocument/21342/638053303437900000.


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.


Council meetings are broadcast live and available later on demand at https://www.youtube.com/user/ProvoCityCouncil
