“Thank you, Mayor. I do think I agree to the context of, you know, we got to be careful about being reactionary, really, with anything we don't want to. We want to make sure that we're judicious about how we approach whatever concerns we hear whenever we hear them to make sure that's the best actual way to approach that. Because it might actually accomplish the goal of what we're hearing from that one person, but inadvertently then create five more issues that we didn't think about because we didn't really take that second to think it all the way through. So with that, I do. That's why I think…”

“Mr. Mayor, can I ask for a recess before we move to a break, I should say, before we get into the last five items?”

“I think to what Councilmember Strange might be getting at here, and correct me if I'm wrong, that your concern is your concern that there's adequate parking for the other tenants that are in the 2205 Cluster Oak where the four suites are.”

“Yeah. And I think perhaps then if we wanted to have something, the P&Z did give us two recommendations for additions. One of those is number two that says an addition that says adequate parking for the other tenants in the building. during funeral services shall be provided. So that maybe would get to that point that when there is an event, because it sounds like outside of a funeral, there's not gonna be a lot of cars there, that when there is a funeral, would adding language that says adequate parking for the other tenants must be provided. And additionally, I think that item number, that…”

“And I think too, potentially though, then we're saying eight now, but it may depend on what- actual tenant would be in there and then what that would be required for them. So I, I, I would hesitate to say an eight number, but, um, I, I actually think that the language that maybe is in here does cover is that was, was that staff's intent to having section two, number seven, that essentially any parking items related to this, if they, whether it's tenant to tenant used to use overflow, if it ever is an issue, this item covers that and they'd have to come back.”

“And I think if the letters, if I read their letters correctly, it indicated that they're Up to now, the people who provided the letters that are neighbors, that are business owners, have indicated that there's usually parking attendants that, you know, kind of work through there and direct that traffic. So I think I, I mean, to that degree, I would be fine adding item two, you know, if we felt like we needed two of the P&Z recommendation to cover that. Otherwise, I think maybe... The item does cover it. The other question that was brought up before was related to number of people. And I think…”

“So they're, they're proposing to provide 70 seats for a maximum of 90 people. Correct. And that would be, I'm assuming that was based off code. Yeah. Is that correct? Okay. So if that's the case, then I think, you know, we do already, we would be able to control that then at that point, right? He would have to let any customer know that I only have 70 seats and I can only have 90 people. So if you're going to have a funeral that potentially has 200 people, I'm not going to be able to hold that here. Okay. All right. I think those are my questions. Thank you.”

“Thank you. I like adding the language to Section 2, Number 6 at the end to say to ensure adequate parking for the other tenants in the building during funeral services as recommended by the P&Z Commission. I am hesitant about putting a number just because if that use ever changed, then that – could be changed to an item where it only required four and now our cup says eight and um so i think if we just say to ensure adequate parking for other for the other tenants in the building during funeral services that that encompasses that um i like the idea of keeping that number seven uh with with…”

“Thank you. Can I just follow up on that, Chief, on the information related to the letter, the application for the COCPN? I think I was misunderstood or I had a misunderstanding. I thought that was what was being submitted. So are you actually asking for us to review that to provide feedback to you?”
City Council · Sep 22, 2026

“Okay. When is the deadline for us to get that to you? And second question then is, will we then get the official final packet that's submitted once it's submitted?”

“Yeah. And I think if I recall correctly from your slides that you presented to us at the budget hearing, yes, that it's roughly $20 million after that's taken out.”

“So we have the 36.6. What is the actual remaining balance of quote unquote unrestricted once we take out that percentage that needs to be taken out by ordinance?”
City Council · Sep 22, 2026

“So $20 million with this resolution included in that?”
City Council · Sep 22, 2026

“To $16 million if we approve this resolution? Correct. Okay. All right. That is the question that I had.”

“Yes, please. Is there a willingness to put in there that if this doesn't get approved, that this is returned back to our unrestricted fund balance?”

“Right. But I guess where I was coming from that is to, I think what I heard the city attorney say is essentially by this action, we are earmarking it for that. So it would actually then take council action to un-earmark that if we don't include that link, it would actually take physical action rather than saying, if it's not approved, it goes back into the, it goes back in. So that's what my question was, is that what, why wouldn't we just make it automatic that it goes back if it's not approved rather than requiring additional council action, which who knows what that council may be in the…”

“That's fine. I see that. As a person who used to sit in this chair say, I can count to three. And so I can count to three. I see I don't have that support for that. I just am concerned that we're earmarking funds for something that if it didn't happen, it would actually take council action to unrestrict rather than just having it go back into our unreserved fund. and allowing us to move forward with other projects. So thank you.”

“Thank you, Mayor. Are we referring to the parking permit? Is that what we're talking about? Because I don't see a boat use ramp fee in our fee schedule. I see a boat ramp calendar year parking permit, which is $20 for Claremont, and a boat ramp daily parking, which is $15 for Claremont and $15 for non-city residents. But I don't see an actual use of boat ramp permit. Or a permit fee.”
City Council · Sep 22, 2026

“So we are talking about the boat ramp parking.”
City Council · Sep 22, 2026

“Yeah. So my question then is, can someone launch their boat without parking? Is someone allowed to launch their boat?”
City Council · Sep 22, 2026

“Right. So it's not a use fee. It's a parking fee. I'm not trying to be petty. I'm not trying to split hairs. But I do think it's important to understand, are we talking about a use fee or are we talking about a parking fee?”
