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.

Council Chambers (Room 100)
Hybrid meeting: 445 W. Center Street, Provo, UT 84601 or

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. An ordinance
amending Provo City code regarding standards for conditional uses- dance halls.
Citywide Application. (PLOTA20220404)
- Provo City Code Section 14.34.250(3)
gives the regulations for a dance hall where it is listed as a conditional
use in the City. There are ten zones in the city that list dance hall as a
conditional use (PF, SC2, SC3, DT1, DT2, ITOD, CG, CM, M1, and M2) and one
zone (PIC) where it is permitted by-right. Within these zones the typical
standards of the above code section apply and require a minimum buffer of
four hundred (400) feet from any one- or two-family dwelling. However,
sections of the DT1 and DT2 zone described in subsection
14.34.250(3)(c)(vii)(A) allow for a reduced buffer of at least two hundred
(200) feet. This area is bound by 100 East, 200 South, 300 West, and 200
North and shown in the attachments.
2.
A presentation regarding the findings of a completed IT
assessment (23-030)
- On November 15, 2022, the Administration
engaged a 3rd party consultant (The Hartman Group) to perform an IT
assessment looking at strategy, budget, staffing, reporting structure, and
general practices of the City with a goal to better align budget with
expected outcomes and acceptable risk levels. The Administration and The
Hartman Group are prepared to present to the Council the findings of the
assessment.
3.
A resolution transfering money from the General Fund to
the Airport Fund for an interfund loan payment to Energy (23-029)
- On April 21, 2020 the Municipal Council approved a resolution authorizing an interfund loan between the Airport and the Energy Fund for $4,900,526 to purchase land near the Airport. The loan is for 10 years with a fixed principal payment of $490,053 and a variable interest rate equal to the monthly State Pool rate. After this loan payment the outstanding balance will be $3,430,367. The loan was to be paid back with Airport revenues and if revenues were not sufficient a transfer would be made from the General Fund for all or a portion of the payment. The Airport is currently being subsidized by the General Fund and not in a position to make all or a portion of the payment so Administration is recommending a transfer from the General Fund of $557,329 which includes interest of $67,276.

Fund (23-006)

8.
A presentation regarding an update to the Westside Levee
Plan of Action and Alternatives. (23-028)
- Currently, the Provo River and Utah Lake levees do not meet the structural or operational requirements for flood certification. Provo City and CRS Engineers have studied the levees along the lower Provo River and Utah Lake to develop a plan to certify the levee system. The Westside Levee Plan was prepared to document the existing conditions of the levees, present alternatives for rehabilitating the levees so that Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) accreditation can be obtained, and recommend actions for moving forward with alternatives. Since the completion of the Westside Levee Plan study, Provo City and CRS has continued to explore further options related to the levee system. In conjunction with seeking funding and permitting for levee rehabilitation, Provo City and CRS have been pursuing additional opportunities to mitigate the need for the project, minimize impacts to the levee decertification or lower the cost of levee rehabilitation.
- The applicant is requesting approval for two parcels of land to be rezoned from the ITOD zone to DT1. The parcels that make up this project include the ITOD zone and the DT1 Zone. The reason for the rezone request is to have all the parcels within this development in the same zone. Since both DT1 and ITOD would allow for this proposed development and the majority of the property is zoned DT1, the applicant has requested to have the other two smaller parcels rezoned to match. The proposed rezone area will consist of two parcels totaling approximately 0.23 acres of land. The property is currently zoned ITOD like the properties to the south, east and west. The property to the north is zoned DT1.
