The Orem Neighborhood Advisory Commission met on August 12, 2026, at the Orem City Council Conference Room. Because there were not enough members in attendance to make a quorum, no approvals were taken during the meeting.
Gary LeDoux provided updates from the Neighborhood Improvement team and requested that members continue sending complaints and concerns to assist with enforcement. Bradley Day reported that approximately 20% of the 20,000 total utility accounts have transitioned to the myOrem software. A full launch involving resident requirements is scheduled for November, and officials are investigating the integration of other city payments, such as permits and business licenses, into the platform. Bradley Day also requested volunteers for the One Kind Act a Day initiative to assist with school outreach, participation, and signage placement. Tami Rodrigues, Mark Seastrand, Lisa Lesser, Debbie Lamb, and Amy Green volunteered for the initiative.
Amy Green reported that the process for the Beautification Awards was easier this year. The committee discussed several suggestions for future awards, including inviting winners to be recognized at a city council meeting by the mayor and posting winners on the city website, newsletters, and social media. Other suggestions included adding new categories like Water-Wise, Patriotic, or Farms and Orchards, and including the word Nominee on yard signs. The committee noted that this year's representation was diverse and that the limit of five nominations per neighborhood was a sufficient amount.
Future agenda items include feedback regarding the car show and crosswalk issues. The meeting was adjourned following a motion by Debbie Lamb and a second by Tami Rodrigues.
