[6:37] for the opportunity to gather

[6:42] to discuss matters important to our
[6:45] city.
[6:46] We thank thee for our country, for our
[6:49] land,
[6:50] for the blessings we have
[6:54] living in our city.
[6:56] We pray for guidance
[6:59] as we

[7:03] thou will be with us in our service.
[7:06] We
[7:09] express gratitude to thee again for our

[7:13] Amen.
[7:17] » Will all stand.
[7:20] » I pledge allegiance to the flag of the

[7:24] and to the republic for which it stands,
[7:27] one nation under God, indivisible, with
[7:31] liberty and justice for all.
[7:40] » We have an applied motion on a
[7:41] resolution approving property tax rates
[7:43] for Provo City Corporation for the
[7:45] fiscal year beginning July 1st, 2026 and
[7:47] ending June 30th, 2027. This is
[7:50] presented by Justin Harrison, our
[7:52] Council Executive Director.
[7:58] » Good evening, Council, and to all those
[8:01] listening here in person online. Um
[8:05] Utah State Code requires that the
[8:07] governing board of each taxing entity in
[8:09] the state adopt a adopt a certified tax
[8:12] rate um
[8:14] before June 22nd uh of each calendar
[8:17] year uh if they're a fiscal year taxing
[8:19] entity. Uh since Provo City is not
[8:22] scheduled to adopt our
[8:24] FY 27 budget until Tuesday, June 23rd,
[8:29] um
[8:30] the Council needs to adopt a property
[8:32] tax rate, and so uh there is no proposed
[8:35] tax increase this year. The city will
[8:37] not be going through Truth in Taxation.
[8:40] Uh however, the following tax rates uh
[8:43] that have been certified by the county
[8:45] and by the tax commission uh are what
[8:47] are being proposed to be adopted. So,
[8:50] for the general operations tax rate for
[8:54] Provo City uh 0.000510
[8:58] uh for the bond payment portion of the
[9:01] property tax 0.000675
[9:06] and the library rate of 0.000400.
[9:12] That is all I have unless you have any
[9:14] questions. Happy to provide the dollar
[9:17] amount um
[9:18] that may be helpful if you're
[9:20] interested.
[9:22] But, please let me know if you have any
[9:23] questions.
[9:24] >> Okay, thank you, Justin.
[9:27] Um any questions for Justin?
[9:31] All right, this is something that's not
[9:32] in our control at all. It's set by the
[9:34] county, and we just
[9:36] acknowledge it.
[9:38] Um
[9:38] all right, we'll call for a vote on the
[9:40] implied motion. I'd also like to
[9:41] recognize that Councillor Travis Hoban
[9:43] has joined us online.
[9:46] Any council discussion on this?
[9:50] Okay, we'll do a vote on the implied
[9:51] motion. Councillor Garrett.
[9:53] >> Yes.
[9:54] >> Councillor McKay, yes. Councillor
[9:56] Christiansen.
[9:57] >> Yes.
[9:58] >> Councillor Whitlock.
[10:00] >> Yes.
[10:01] >> Councillor Bogdan.
[10:02] >> Yes.
[10:03] >> Councillor Hoban.
[10:04] >> Yes.
[10:05] >> And Councillor Whipple.
[10:07] >> Yes.
[10:07] >> So that passes 7-0.
[10:11] If there's no objection, we'll now
[10:12] adjourn the Provisional Council by
[10:14] unanimous consent.
[10:20] Very short.
