City Council - Regular Meeting

Roll Call

A presentation regarding the Annual Fraud Risk Assessment (26-076)

The City Council will hear the results of Provo's yearly review of safeguards against fraud, including how financial responsibilities are divided among staff. For fiscal year 2026, Provo scored 376 out of 395 points, placing it in the "Very Low" fraud risk category.

An ordinance amending the application requirements for a rental dwelling license. (26-022)

City staff proposes simplifying the process for getting a license to rent out a home. Out-of-state owners would no longer need paperwork giving someone limited legal authority to act for them. Owners would only need to name a local representative if they live more than 50 miles away, instead of the current 20 miles. Staff says these changes would reduce unnecessary delays.

A discussion about the Provo Town Centre Mall redevelopment zoning change and related development agreement (26-023)

The Council will discuss proposed rule changes and a development agreement to redevelop the Provo Town Centre mall area with about 77 townhomes, 1,300 apartments, businesses, roads, and gathering spaces. Most of the townhomes would have three bedrooms. The plan would also remove Shady Acres mobile home park, requiring residents to move with relocation payments provided. City staff supports redevelopment but wants further review of walking access, parking, traffic, infrastructure, and the project's overall benefits.

A presentation on alcohol retailing in Provo's downtown (26-019)

At the Council's request, a presentation will cover alcohol regulation in Provo.

A resolution approving an appropriation of up to $50,000 in the General Fund and an associated transfer to fund a Traffic Electronics Specialist position for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2027. (26-078)

The Council will consider setting aside and transferring up to $50,000 to help fund an additional traffic electronics specialist for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2027. Provo currently has just one employee maintaining all traffic signals and digital speed limit signs, with that person on call seven days a week. A second employee would provide backup and help address maintenance needs before problems arise.

An ordinance prohibiting use of property officially declared unfit or unsafe. (26-069)

The Council will consider a rule prohibiting people from using or staying in properties officially declared unsafe. City staff says enforcing these restrictions can currently require a lengthy court process. The proposal aims to help the City respond when people refuse to leave buildings with serious structural damage, health hazards, or disaster damage.
