Hey Provo! 👋The City Council met for 8.5 hours on Tuesday 8/11 (half in the Work Meeting, half in the Regular Meeting). I watched it all for you!

VESPER AMPHITHEATER: I’ll have a separate post on what we learned from the Council’s 1.5 hours with the Vesper team during their Work Meeting on Tuesday. They didn’t take any votes, just asked a lot of questions. We know for certain the Council won’t vote on it until at least September (and maybe later).

Hi folk. I'm Julie Rose - a citizen who grew up in Provo and recently started a volunteer side project where I write previews and recaps of Provo City Council and Planning Commission meetings so more of us can get informed and engaged. I do my best to keep the posts neutral and jargon-free.

All of my posts go up first on my substack: Julie's Provo Notes | Substack

I also post quick summaries in various Provo Facebook groups and I thought it might be something this crowd would appreciate too. So here's the summary of my latest and a link to the full post if you want all the details. (It's free.)
