“I think we've talked about this quite some time. I just wanted to highlight that this does not take away a hybrid option, still provides a hybrid option. It does not target anybody. I think some of us do believe that a presiding officer, no matter who that presiding officer is, should try their best to be in person. It has nothing to do with taking role or excused absences or unexcused absences. Section 14.1 already deals with that. And section one of our council rules and procedures, authority enforcement construction, 1.2 second sentence states, nothing in these rules shall be construed as…”

“I just wanted to let the public know that on February 27, 2026, Puget Sound Energy filed a three-year rate plan with the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission.

“Yeah, thank you, Mayor. My question's for Public Works. Going in line with curb appeal of Meridian. And I understand we as a council canceled the contract for maintenance on Meridian for budgetary purposes. I was just wondering if there's a plan with public works of getting out there and cleaning some of them up because they are going over the curb as well as the sidewalk. And I just was wondering if that was somewhere on the schedule over the next few months. Thank you.”

“Okay. Council member Ramirez. So as we begin to talk more about the budget later on, in the year. I was wondering if we could also include a discussion on the possibility or what would it cost over time to add another officer listening to police chief talk about burnout among officers. And it's a real thing. And what our officers do with the community takes them away from their family. I know they do a lot of good stuff and I just want, to see how we can better support them. So if that could be done maybe on a separate line, or we could have a discussion on what that would look like…”

“Okay, now Councilmember Ramirez, you have the floor. Just want to say thanks for volunteering. And for the two Planning Commission members, welcome to the marathon. It was a marathon last night.

“or we can come up with a long list i'd rather do the former okay thank you okay any other questions yes councilmember ramirez so i hope i'm saying this correctly it is proposed that on-site sales are limited to pre-arranged appointments only So what would happen if a business, small business, had 20 patrons order something and the owner of the small business has a full-time job which limits the number of hours in a day for one person to come pick up?”

“Thank you. That addressed my other question. So a stand at the corner of a driveway unattended is fine? I would believe so, yes. All right.”

“Okay. Now, Council Member Ramirez, you have the floor. I echo what Council Member Pasarewski said, and what's nice is the clarity and the flow. I appreciate staff, I appreciate the Planning Commission and EDAB for bringing these things forward, and now hopefully we can begin to celebrate Edgewood's small businesses with some type of farmer's market at some point, or something along those lines, so thanks.”

“Good timing on your question. That's good. Yes. Council member Ramirez. I just want to say thanks Jeremy and Josh for last night. I'm serving on the planning commission for multiple terms and attending the meetings in person for years. I was the most people I've ever seen in a planning commission meeting. And I want to say thanks to the citizens who spoke and shared their thoughts. And I would encourage every council member to watch last night's planning commission meeting because it really speaks to what Edgewood is about and what the citizens of Edgewood appreciate about our city. I know it…”
