Provo Redevelopment Agency approves services agreement update and appoints Melissa McNally as director
Summary
The RDA governing board approved a revised services agreement with Provo City that clarifies a partial salary allocation for a city employee serving as RDA director, and voted to confirm Melissa McNally as the agency's director.
The Provo Redevelopment Agency governing board voted unanimously to approve a revised services agreement with Provo City that assigns a percentage of a city employee’s compensation to the agency. The board then unanimously consented to the appointment of Melissa McNally as RDA director.
City Attorney Brian Jones explained the agencies are separate legal entities and that the revised services agreement formalizes the share of city staff time the agency will fund. Jones said the proposed change specifies the agency will pay 80 percent of the compensation for the city employee who will serve as RDA director; finance staff previously indicated the allocation had been 100 percent in earlier arrangements.
The board voted by roll call; the services agreement resolution passed unanimously (7–0). Mayor Michelle Caffuzzi recommended Melissa McNally for the RDA director post, citing her public‑administration training and experience administering programs including CDBG pass‑through funds. The governing board approved the appointment by a unanimous roll call vote (7–0).
Why it matters: the services agreement clarifies fiscal and legal separation between city government and the redevelopment agency while arranging funding for shared staff time. The appointment names an internal city employee to lead the agency and aligns RDA staffing costs with actual duties.
Next steps: the city and RDA will implement the revised cost allocation; McNally will assume duties as RDA director under the clarified compensation arrangement.
