“Okay, Madam Clerk, look at who we have up here. This is great. Roll call, please. Thank you. Skog.”
“Here. Hello. Okay, your voice is very profound this morning, so it's projecting. Thank you. So we will get started here, and we're going to start with our first new business item, which is a discussion item. It's proposed mobile food vendor license update. Mark, you're going to do this one? Okay. Okay.”
“Mark, just a quick question on the 11 p.m. So do we have a noise ordinance for a certain time at night?”
“Mark, if I may just follow up on the good questions. So as far as the city and Clay, maybe you can speak to this too. But Cody's not here. Is there... As far as like a Lakeview Park or somewhere like that, is there, would it be allowed to potentially have a food court where the city would lease, have a lease agreement? Amy's going to speak to that. Thanks. Or Roddy, you guys can arm wrestle if you want to, see who goes first, but go ahead.”
“So if we put out that messaging, you know, private, I mean, just my personal opinion. I think that, to me, I don't like the city getting into a lot of different businesses and handling all that. to accommodate something like this, but if there's private entities and land that they think there can be a profit in that, I would encourage at least that messaging to be out there. Mayor?”
“I'm sorry. We're going to let Councilwoman Jangle it and then you're on next with that projecting voice here. Just a minute.”
“Are you going to follow? That's good. Thank you. Just a minute. Rodney's going to speak, Councilman, and then you're on.”
“Quick question, then we'll further this discussion. Just from a time standpoint, Doug, how much time do you realistically feel like you're going to need? 10, 15 minutes. Okay, so we're good for at least another maybe 10 minutes here. Councilman President, then we'll go. The councilman on my left.”
“NEW SPEAKER PEDROZA. NEW SPEAKER PEDROZA. NEW SPEAKER PEDROZA. NEW SPEAKER PEDROZA. NEW SPEAKER PEDROZA. NEW SPEAKER PEDROZA. NEW SPEAKER PEDROZA. NEW SPEAKER PEDROZA.”
“Councilman Reynolds, and then I think Councilman Rodriguez has comments. I just have a sense. Okay, Councilman Griffin.”
“Thank you, Councilman Griffin. Councilman Rodriguez?”
“Kent, I'm going to, if you don't mind, if you may come up and then respond to Councilman Rodriguez regarding staffing challenges. Thank you.”
“We have five minutes before we'll go on to the next discussion item. So whoever's next?”
“So do we have any food trucks that we're currently aware that are on enclave properties?”
“There is one. Okay, so those then, how they could get around this, then would be to negotiate with enclave property owners, correct? Okay.”
“There's no question. So is that a discussion item for next month's forum? The council is looking for a nod. Yes. Okay.”
“So I think we're right in this mark. I thank you, my understanding, and this is not an action item, but as far as I understand, this will be brought forth in October for a vote from council.”
“And this would be an action item, not a public hearing, correct?”
“And Kent, thank you for you and your team, all that you do for the city of Napa. Appreciate it. Okay, we're going to move on to Doug. Doug, we have 19 and a half minutes.”
“Okay, thank you. Doug, just a quick follow-up on that. So when we met with our local legislators here two or three weeks ago, and I don't want to get anybody's hopes up, but I had somewhat of a sense, not so much on 389, but on 673, even from Representative Moyle, that there maybe needed to be some work done on that. Was that your sense? Yes.”
“So it is being at least discussed again.”
“So Rodney, quick follow-up with you then. So whoever this individual or agency was, are they ones that we could potentially be communicating with as far as even to help write a bill and then we lobby for a legislator to carry it or multiple legislators? What would be your opinion to get some action on 673 is my question.”
“So what does the city of Napa need to do to help this? come about?”
“So there's been discussion, I think, and I was impressed with the legislators, at least at the end, because they said we need to do this more often. So I would also am advocating to include at least one or two of our county commissioners WHICH IS THIS AFFECTS THE COUNTY ALSO. SO HOPEFULLY I WAS SAYING THE 1ST OF NOVEMBER WE MAYBE NEED TO DO IT SOONER THAN LATER SO MAYBE EVEN IN OCTOBER WE NEED TO BE LOOKING AT A DATE WHERE WE CAN INVITE OUR LEGISLATORS IN. OKAY. COUNCIL PRESIDENT. NEW SPEAKER THANK YOU.”
“So my sarcasm, politicians are influenced by lobbyists and money?”
