Hi, the city made a few updates to Tuesday night's (tonight by the time
you read this probably!) agenda.
The last one was made at 5:35pm so they just barely got it in before the
24 hour state law deadline! :(
#1 -- I'm pretty disappointed that the council didn't put out an
official public notice before today about the hottest item of the night --
the _Street Parking Fees for South Joaquin_ -- from Center St. up to 500
N. and from University Ave. over to 900 East basically.
This showed up on Google News alerts today --
http://newsnet.byu.edu/story.cfm/72587 -- "... The cost for the parking
permits [for owner absentees and their tenants] is anticipated to be $50
per month ..." but for owner occupants [and/or their tenants] they get
"one free permit" per property to share.
I think it's completely unjust to have two sets of rules -- because
whether you're an owner or a tenant you use the property/streets for
"residential" purposes just the same.
Owners and tenants alike all use the property as shelter/sleeping, and
for relaxing, and to cook/prepare food, and to use the sewer system to
put it bluntly. How does an owner or a tenant differ in these uses?
They all pay a per usage cost on the sewer and storm drains so why
should only some of the citizens have to pay more for parking?
The citizens that want to get a free pass while charging the other
citizens have yet to justify the two sets of rules.
So far all I've heard are rationalizations that don't consider the full
picture.
Please let the city council know how you feel about this
<mailto:[email protected]> if you can't come and speak out!
Anyway, here is the rest of the agenda -- it looks like it's going to be
a looooong night so give me a call/text me or turn to Channel 1 or
Channel 17 to see where in the meeting it's at before you come.

Thanks!

Hi everybody, i hope you had a nice weekend and Sunday!, :)
Tomorrow is the 3rd Tuesday of the month and so that means it's city
council meeting time again.
Sadly, the city council has not yet released an agenda for it (since
by law they're only required to give 24 hours notice of the details).
The council seems to release the agenda late, only a day before, way
too often. :( Other times they'll release it the Thursday prior to
the meeting.
I encourage you to email the city council
<mailto:[email protected]> asking them to release the meeting
agendas earlier so more of the public can be informed! :)
Anyway, it starts @ 7:00pm tomorrow, May 19th @ City Hall (351 W.
Center St.)
The only thing we know about it for sure is this Public Hearing on a
Land Use item (which by law they're required to give public notice of
two weeks in advance):
~~~~~
Ray Morley requests an amendment to the General Plan Policies
creating policies for the South State Street Corridor, addressing
mix use developments and design standards from approximately 900 South
to SR 75 (Springville City limits). Spring Creek and Provost South
Neighborhoods 08-0006GPA
http://provo.org/comdev.pc_agenda_032509.html Item 3
NOTE: you can also find more details on the Project @
http://www.sssrp.com/ -- this affects all of Southeast Provo.
~~~~~
And of course there's always the Questions/Comments for the Council &
Mayor portion of the meeting. Feel free to come and speak out during
this portion. :)
Or you can email them your questions/comments
<mailto:[email protected]> and ask them to be read during this
portion of the meeting.
Please RSVP if you'll be sitting with us so we can save seats. I'll
send a followup email once the full agenda is released by the council
later today.
Thanks, and please forward this announcement to your neighbors, etc.
