Happy Council Tuesday! This has been a council meeting so far that has many long term and policy implications. We have talked general plan, sustainability, parking permit and paid parking programs, encouraging Covid-19 vaccination, preparations for a future Winter Olympics in Utah, and good land use planning processes. Whew!

Then this evening we will be honoring two longstanding pillars of the Provo community - Karl Snow and Glee Zumbrennen - who were influential in the design and approval of the current Provo form of government. So, deep thoughts about the future and honoring a community decision in the past which set up our current successes. An awesome day for folks like me who love history and try to plan for our community's future.
