As on every Provo agenda there is no consent calendar, so each of the six action items is called and voted alone. The Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report — the accounting of how the city spent its federal housing and community development grants — is noticed as a public hearing, and the council was briefed on it at the September 8 work meeting, two weeks ahead. The outdoor lighting exemptions ordinance was also on that September 8 work agenda. The budget item is where the agenda goes quiet: the carryover resolution re-appropriates unspent fiscal year 2026 money into the current year and the agenda prints neither a total nor a single line of what is being carried. It and both rezones were on the 2:30 p.m. work meeting agenda the same day, and neither rezone has a hearing noticed at the council.
*Procedural-transparency score grounded in the agenda as published: 8 listed item(s) — 1 public hearing(s), 0 on consent, 3 land-use/ordinance, 2 other action, 2 presentation(s).*
