“Noticed a member of our audience raising her hand if she would like to fill out a comment card to speak You can get a comment card at the back and when we call your name you can speak publicly you bet Councilmember house Thank You mayor, thank you both for the presentation One of my questions you actually already answered so I crossed it off my list, but I was really curious about the the MindBase program. Obviously, I think you know that that's a huge passion area for me. And I would love to hear just a little bit more about what the integration looks like in terms of supporting first…”

“Thank you, Mayor. Thank you, Tiffany. I apologize in advance because I think this type of question that I'm going to ask, I would usually try and send in advance. So yeah, sorry that I did not in this case. But as I've been reading about planned community zones and what they can do for communities, what I understand from what I've been reading is that they can really support the streamlining of mixed use and mixed or missing middle and other housing supplies, but also have the challenge of sometimes focusing on private community amenities that can impact affordability or unintentionally lead…”

“It does. I'm wondering how specific the language of this gets in terms of that being a primary focus or goal, particularly in terms of trails or those connections versus what's typically understood to be like a planned community amenity or things like that. Does the language of this amendment go into some of that to support that? Would you like me to pull up the language?”

“Thank you, Mayor. I just wanted to say thank you to everyone that presented tonight on this. I know a lot of work has gone into pulling all of this together, and I'm particularly impressed by the amendments that were made to clarify on triplex and fourplex development and other considerations that were clearly put in over the past week. I think it's very reflective of the engaged process that was gone through on all of this, to listen not only to council discussion, but also broader community conversations that were continuing beyond that session. I know that there was a letter we received…”

“I don't remember all of them either. I know one of them was EB perceived as a requirement and there were a couple other things as well, but any consideration that was given to that, I think it's just the core question there.”

“Thank you very much. That's helpful additional context, because I think overall, like the main, you got the letter, didn't you?”

“Yeah, just the main reason I asked that question and was going into that was just, to reiterate that so much thoughtfulness has gone into this process and the engagement of different voices along the way and different considerations and really looking at the broader picture of the implications of adopting this code, how it applies to sustainability, affordability, the development of new housing and other things within our community and so forth, I think is very telling of the work that you all have done to bring this forward. And I'm just very deeply appreciative of all of that. Please.”

“Thank you, Mayor. Thank you, Gail. Thank you as well. So a few of us had an opportunity to participate recently in a conversation with the Southside neighborhood. And I noted at the beginning of the presentation that a lot of the study was focused around the downtown and Southside parking. One of the things that came up in that conversation was the neighborhood impact when The south side is essentially utilized as a free parking option versus downtown with downtown benefiting from the programming while south side may bear some of that parking burden without any of the benefit. I'm wondering…”

“I actually really like Flow Bird, but it's for the reason that I'm going to ask about, which is payment methods. So will the Park Mobile app have that extensive range of payment methods? And I ask that because the reason that I use the Flow Bird app over the kiosk is My bank switched to the bank card is Discover and the kiosks don't take Discover cards. So I was having to pay with a credit card every time I wanted to pay or park downtown versus just being able to pay with my bank card. So does the new app have like a full range of payment options?”

“Thank you, Mayor. Thank you so much for the presentation. The only thing that I had or that kind of gave me a little bit of pause was the language around HOA lawn language, which is not something I thought I would ever say. But I feel like that's something that might need some very specific or clarifying language to blanketly say that they can't, I forget now what the exact language was on the slide, but you know what I mean. Cannot require residents to maintain a lawn. I think like the definition of maintain might need to be Part of that consideration and just clarifying some of that…”

“Just one thing to say congratulations to our city manager, Joanne Keene, who was recently, I saw posted, selected as a 2026 Woman Achievers of Arizona by the Arizona Capital Times. I'm just committed to embarrassing you a couple weeks in a row, so you just, you know, you can take it.

“Thank you, Mayor. It's been a busy but fruitful break. I'll just share, because I believe Vice Mayor is going to share some of the other things that I was able to attend during the break and recess. But for the Housing Commission, they met just a few weeks ago and also had a presentation on the public safety ballot measures as well as updates on the 10-year housing plan. The Commission on Diversity Awareness also provided updates on upcoming proclamations for the city and are continuing to build out their scope of work for the upcoming year. Thank you, Mayor.”

“Thank you, Mayor. We had two applicants for this role, and I was excited to see both the years that both have served in our community or been part of our community and enjoying our parks and open recreation areas. I am appointing someone who has been on record as being interested in this commission for over a year, I believe. So I am happy to appoint Michelle McAllister.”

“overview that the contract was over budget by about 106,000. I just wanted to hear maybe your recommendations. I see that the staff recommendation is to move forward with the approval. I just, hearing that it's a system that hasn't really been working or needs some upgrades, I wanted to gauge kind of the comfort level in moving forward at this point with the system? Or what would be maybe the risks of if we don't?”

“Thank you, Mayor. Just a couple of things. I've been participating for the past several months in a program called Cities for Kitties, which is a collaborative initiative led by the Children's Action Alliance, Prevent Child Abuse Arizona, and the Arizona Early Education Alliance that connects local city, town, and county governments to collaborate on early childhood and family support programs. It's a really interesting program and really a great learning opportunity to see how different municipalities around the state are incorporating early childhood programs and family supports across the…”
