“Correct. And the $2 million here could arguably be used for that cost. Could be, yes, understood. Council Member Nagard.”
“NEW SPEAKER THANK YOU, COUNCIL MEMBER. If there's nothing further, I'll entertain a motion.”
“Second. We have a first and a second. Roll call, please.”
“No. All right. With that, the item passes. THAT BRINGS US TO THE NEXT ITEM, WHICH IS ITEM 3Q REGARDING FEE CREDIT RECONCILIATION FOR PRO LOGIS.”
“Do we have any preliminary council questions? Just a quick question is what caused the substantial change in numbers?”
“All right. And staff is confident that the new amendment are the correct numbers?”
“Thank you. If there's no additional council questions, we'll go out for public comment. Can I please see hands raised for speakers on this item? Okay. With that, we'll allow four minutes. Go ahead.”
“Thank you. Do we have any additional speakers on this item? Seeing none, Chambers, do we have any online?”
“With that, we'll go ahead and close the public comment portion for Item 3Q. I'll return to Council for discussion and or motion. Council Member Evans.”
“UNDERSTOOD. THANK YOU, COUNCILMEMBER EVANS. COUNCIL OF ANYTHING ELSE? OKAY. WITH THAT, AS FOR MY COMMENTS, STAFF HAS REITERATED THEY ARE CONFIDENT THAT THIS IS THE NEW ACCURATE NUMBERS. WITH THAT, IT IS A PRIORITY OF MINE THAT WE ENSURE THAT WE ARE RESTORING THE CITY'S REPUTATION AMONG THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY, AND I WOULD HATE FOR THERE TO BE ANY UNDUE DELAYS TO HARM THE REPUTATION OF THE CITY GIVEN THAT WE HAVE MADE SUCH PROGRESS RECENTLY. So with that, I'll entertain a motion. Make a motion to approve 3Q.”
“We have a first and a second. Roll call, please.”
“NEW SPEAKER YES. ALL RIGHT. ITEM 3Q PASSES. THAT TAKES US TO ITEM 3. W related to the second reading for oversized vehicles ordinance. Staff report, please.”
“Thank you. Do we have any preliminary questions from Council?”
“Thank you. And then I just want to confirm, Council has already heard this item. This is merely a second reading. Was there any changes between now and the second reading?”
“Okay. All right. With that, we'll go out for public comment. Do we have any speaker cards?”
“Okay. Can I please see a hand raised for folks who would like to speak on this item? Seeing two, we'll allow four minutes. Anyone who'd like to start?”
“Can you hold the microphone a little closer?”
Not quoted here: it may name a member of the public. Hear it at the meeting.
“Thank you. Any additional speakers? Seeing none here, do we have any online?”
“Okay, so with that, I think I heard three questions I'd like answered first. So first, what was the impetus of implementing this particular ordinance? Second, is this for a particular part of town, i.e., downtown, or is it citywide? And then finally, did staff evaluate other options and assess their relevance or effectiveness from other cities?”
“Thank you. We'll turn to council for additional discussion or questions. Mayor Pro Tem.”
“Thank you, Council Member. And Lieutenant, that would be my comment as well. Similarly to how we assessed and amended the fireworks prosecution ordinance, I would ask that you implement this, give it six months, a year, and then come back to Council, see how it's going, and see if there are any additional requests for stringency. Council, do you have any additional discussions? With that, I'll entertain a motion.”
“Second. We have a first and second. Roll call, please.”
“Yes. All right, the second reading passes. That brings us to items from the audience. As a reminder, this is for any item that is not on tonight's agenda. And just to highlight that the council is limited into how we can respond to items that are not on the agenda from the government code. Can I please see hands raised for anyone who would like to speak on a non-agendized item? Seeing two hands. Do we have any online?”
“OK. With that, it'll be four minutes. Whoever would like to start.”
