October 26 2021 Update

Happy City Council Tuesday.  We are a bit off cycle this month and next given the election and other scheduling issues.  So, for the remainder of the year, we will not be on the traditional first and third Tuesdays.  The meetings will be today, November 16 and 30, and December 14.  Then, in January, we will welcome two new council members to the Municipal Council and begin a new year and be largely back on the regular schedule.

Today's meetings include topics like parking management, accessory dwelling units, funding for public art, towing fees, and a presentation from the Kem Gardner Institute at the University of Utah on building physical, human and social capital.  The presenter will be my friend and former colleague in the Leavitt Administration Natalie Gochnour.

This evening, we will also be honoring the Parks and Recreation Department for their recent national  gold medal award as well as a Provo student who received an award for her essay in a statewide "Why I Like My Community" essay contest.

Burnout takes many forms, but some of the signs include inconsistent self-care, poor sleep, being too hard on yourself and "friction between what you do day to day and how you want to spend your life," writes Greg Carlson. Carlson offers nine starting points for reevaluating your life and taking corrective action.

FUN STUFF

Some of you may remember an "Undercover Boss" video series we did several years ago.  But Studio C outdid us with this video of a football team owner trying to find out more about what his team does and what they think about the organization.
