“So what are these loans called? Like what type of loans are these called? Is there a name for them or are they some kind of category?”
“Okay. So what is then the benefit for the developer if they have to pay back money?”
“Okay, and then just my last question is, was this part of the infill project that we had talked about, up 6th and 7th? No? Okay.”
“Well, I'm reading right here that the position is 100% funded to the CDBG program and is contingent upon the city receiving funds each program year. So it sounds pretty safe to me. So I'm just going to make the motion that I move to create the position of CDBG program coordinator and amend the classification plan.”
“It's nice and short tonight. A, resolution authorizing the city manager to enter into five-year agreement with West Coast Corporation for electrical on-call maintenance services for the water restoration and water treatment plants. B, there's a motion acknowledging the receipt of the monthly investment report for July 2026. C, motion acknowledging the receipt of the monthly water revenue bonds investment report for July 2026. d motion improving the minutes of the city council meeting of august 5th 2026 e motion acknowledging the minutes from the tourism advisory committee meeting of july 7th…”
“So I guess I wanted to respond to the people that talked about prayer tonight. It's hard for me to believe that there are many against the prayer as it has been handled up till now because we've been doing it for a year and a half and there have been up to this point no complaints. And I'd like to address the discomfort by design. If it's by design then why can't you tolerate discomfort uh... also i wanted to address because uh... beautiful it's the climate and it makes me want to start a campaign campaign to encourage residents to water their lawns thank you anything else from council…”
“Yeah, I'll make a motion to reconsider that.”
“I just wanted to add to that that you reminded me that I've been seeing the CSO workers in the parks picking up trash. I've been seeing that for weeks now, so thank you so much for that also. It's not just Park Watch, it's also the city helping with that.”
“So could you tell me, is this sign lighted up at night?”
“I don't have that much to say, but yeah, I would like to say that I'm in favor of the appeal just because the unique physical circumstances are the tree line. As you can see from exhibit four, all the pictures here, it's very difficult to see the sign from the south exit. And as we heard in the last presentation that trees grow five feet a year or five something a year, I think that we have to take that into consideration as a hardship and I would be in favor of this appeal.”
“Thank you, Ann. That was great. So can you tell me a little bit about why there's so much remaining funds?”
“And do we only take requests from the people that are designated on this?”
“So when we're talking about engaging in violent and threatening conduct, that doesn't, uh, speech is not included in that.”
“But just- People have gotten smart in phrasing things in- Yes.”
“Right. So even though, so but you will be taking that into consideration. Yes. That it could escalate. Yes.”
“Yeah I guess I just want to reiterate also I don't think it's enough. I don't think it takes it far enough.”
“Yeah. We hear you loud and clear about what the DA is not doing. We are equally probably discouraged that not more is done. Don't know exactly why, but I want to tell you from the city's standpoint that we have made a request with the state to repeal SB 48, which is the catch and release law. AND THIS GIVES US ALL THE MORE REASON TO ADD A MUNICIPAL COURT. SO THERE ARE DIFFERENT ASPECTS THAT THE CITY IS WORKING ON, AND I'M SORRY THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO YOU. I'M SURE YOU'RE NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT, AND THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THIS TO OUR ATTENTION, PERSONALLY AND LIVE. I wanted to talk about…”
“I'm kind of wondering what kind of themes are going to be with this event. It wasn't a lot in the application last year. It seemed like they put more in there. Do you have any? more idea about what they're going to offer? I attended last year, and it didn't seem to me that there was 150 people there. And it was a very select population of our residents. So I'm just kind of wondering what they're going to do different this year.”
“I'm just noticing that it says live animals. Do we have any idea what that is?”
