Provo City School District staff updated the board on plans to issue lease‑revenue bonds of up to $70 million to finish construction work at Tempeview and to start early planning for the Dixon/Lehi project. The board received the update at the Feb. 11 study session and staff confirmed public notice steps and community meeting dates.
Nut graf: The board was briefed on the scope and tax impact of a planned $70 million lease‑revenue bond package; staff said public notices have been posted, a pair of community Q&A sessions are scheduled, and a final bond resolution will come to the board at the business meeting for approval.
Details and process: Finance staff said the district will post required newspaper notices and noted Zions and the district public‑notice site have been used; bond counsel is handling statutory notice requirements. The amount discussed was $70,000,000 and staff emphasized the tax calculation shown to the public covers debt service only and does not reflect future operational costs.
Public outreach: Staff scheduled two community meetings for bond information: one at Timpanogos (Thursday the 13th at 6 p.m.) and another at Dixon (Thursday the 20th at 6 p.m.). Board members requested slide decks and recordings to be shared online for community members who cannot attend; staff agreed to provide slides and recorded overlays for distribution and translation into Spanish when needed.
Next steps and timing: Staff said the board will receive a bond resolution to vote on at the Feb. 25 business meeting after required public notices and the community meetings. Finance staff described ongoing work to mitigate taxpayer impact and said multiple strategies are being considered to minimize the levy effect.
Ending: Board members asked staff to make outreach materials available and to prepare for Q&A; staff said they will coordinate the public meetings and post materials online.
