“Thank you for all your work on this. I know it's been a lot over the last year and a half, and there's still more to come, but... It's good that it sounds like it's been 30 plus years since we've touched a lot of this stuff and it's probably well overdue for a little spring cleaning on it. The one question as we're going through also 1016 in parent three, subsection E, that's where it goes into the unavoidable negligent or intentional act, being a part of that. How does something like You know, somebody with mental illness or a physical disability or something like that who's, you know, I…”

“Right, and I know that our current approach and philosophy to that is very much that more compassionate approach where we understand that people are dealing with things and that their mental illness may preclude them from doing or not doing certain things. And I just want to make sure that our current philosophy is great and that we understand that the code going forward that in 20 years from now that we continue that philosophy of compassion with people that don't have the ability or means.”

“Yeah, thank you for the presentation. You mentioned a couple of things that we didn't quite get to. I'd love to hear just kind of a quick brief thing on that, just so it kind of puts it on the radar for us up here. And if we can think about that and put it in the back of our minds on how we might be able to help with those things, I think that could be useful.”

“Thank you. I spent most of the time since the last council meeting in San Diego, so I don't have a whole lot of city stuff to report on, but good trip down there with the family. Today's my wife's birthday, so happy birthday, hon. And that's all I have for tonight. Thanks.”

“I just wanted to throw out a quick clarification to, I guess it would, maybe it was Thursday. It was one of those meetings that we had that all a bunch of meetings we've had recently, but, uh, I stated that there was a, uh, in the town center code, there's a minimum 40 units per acre. I wanted to clarify that that is for residential only developments. Um, and that based on the financial feasibility study and the assumed 2,381 residential units in 56 acres of redevelopment, that that would average out to about 42 units of development per redeveloped acre. So those are those numbers surrounding…”

“Yeah, and it's been tough to find somebody to take the rest of it, it seems like. It's sat unoccupied for a couple of years now.”

“I suppose if you have any, we can ask the question, council can hear the question, and we can go through that exercise. Okay. But I'd be happy to submit these for the official record to the city recorder and have them distributed.”

“I'll just clarify that I agree. I don't believe that we did come up with any kind of final decision on that by any stretch of the imagination. But I did hear the sentiment some concern that, you know, well, you know, if we make a change on this and they come back later and they want another change, you know, kind of if you give a mouse a cookie.”

“I like that analogy. It wasn't. So I just think that, you know, we're here in that stage now that it feels like we're getting some information. And I think that I saw that the staff recommendation was to kind of just to push this through so that changes could be made later. But I just struggle with that, that I question whether those changes will be made or whether or not the answer will be, hey, you had your chance for input. I also really struggle with saying like, okay, yeah, there, there are three minutes of input for a 63 page document that was delivered to us today. That's, that's not a…”

“I would just point out that I think that we have about 10 years of looking at what this code has produced, and it's not an exceptional amount of development in Coffee Creek. And so, I mean, that fact right there, to me, it kind of speaks to that definition of insanity, trying to do the same thing over and over, expecting a different result. We've seen how it's worked in Coffee Creek and it hasn't. And maybe there's some other issues there with lay down yards and we're trying to address that. But one of the things that Shinser has presented us in their Johnson economics report was that given…”

“Uh, going back to the question of, of denial of waivers, uh, has, has staff ever, you know, had worked with a developer who has asked about what waivers they're, they're contemplating and been told, don't bother. We're going to say no to that waiver.”

“So it does sound like there are some cases where there's maybe they're on the edge and they're told that there's a chance that that'll be turned down. That's kind of what I heard. I don't want to be misstating your words and twisting them or anything.”

“Yeah, I mean, it sounds like we're on a deadline by the end of the year. So if we have a deadline, we have a deadline. But I would be very much interested in having this conversation and seeing what we can do about bringing our code to a place that gets things cooking.”

“Thank you. In addition to just regular duties, probably the highlight of my last couple of weeks was on August 4th, I had the opportunity to attend a drug endangered children's meeting. It's a meeting of folks involved in taking care of kids who have been exposed to environments with drugs present, access to drugs and things like that. And there was representatives from CPS, uh, prosecutor, uh, multiple law enforcement agencies, uh, some, some of the social services that, uh, support, uh, kids in situations like that. Um, and it was a, it was a really good opportunity to, um, uh, there was a…”
