“Absolutely, and I can understand that. But if you don't mind leaving your information, I'd love to follow up, because I think in terms of what we can require Pete's Towing to do or not do is actually probably at the state level.”

“But we'd be happy to follow up and get more information. Thank you. Especially when they're misleading public about what they're doing. That's really upsetting to hear.”

“Absolutely. So again, congrats on all the accolades and echo all my colleagues' comments. I personally love seeing trend numbers. So while this is a really great infographic and poster for your FY26 results, I would love to see kind of how things were looking over time without me having to pull up last year's report. So I think you had one stat in the staff report, but would encourage us to... look at trend data as well. And then second is, given that all of our new residents have come from our multifamily buildings, if we haven't already done outreach in those buildings, I know that's often…”

“Thank you all. Thank you. Thank you members of the library board. I think we are ready to transition to the report of the city manager. And while we're transitioning, I just wanted to make a quick comment in response to some of the public comments. Thank you for all this data, I love it. I just want to make sure that for any members of the audience or people who may be watching at home that I want to reiterate our values of being welcoming and inclusive, especially for public commenters as well. I think that extends that regardless of where you live, your citizenship status, whether you're a…”

“First Wednesday in City Hall and last Wednesday is around the community. So we really mean it when we say we want to hear from everybody, regardless of whether you can come in a Monday night.”

“I will second that. So if I could put a finer point on it, one, it sounds like the comments were pretty misleading, given that we don't have a contract with Pete's. Second, I guess I would ask the city attorney and staff to look into what authority we have to actually limit the surveillance and privacy concerns. And if it is something that we actually need to escalate to the state level to add it to our legislative priorities, if we don't actually have authority locally, given that we are at that time of year where we're putting together our package, if the ledge committee would consider that.”

“Good idea. Thank you. Others? Okay, I have one. The Oak Street Elementary principal and staff had reached out asking for the crosswalks be refreshed. I had sent something to staff last week about getting a community effort to paint the colorful blue and orange stripes. But I think a good first step could just be refreshing the white thermoplastic. I think some roadwork had happened over the past year that have eroded some of it. And so the minimum would be great to get the thermoplastic redone around those crosswalks. I think there've been a couple examples where there've been some unsafe…”

“That was my broader point, I think, in work session last week, is that in general, I think the prohibited useless is a bit outdated. Like, I personally would love to see an arcade or a roller rink on any of our ground floor uses. I think it's a more modern and interesting entertainment use. But I don't know whether we should... revisit that whole discussion here as part of this application if we don't wanna hold it up. And I would just ask that maybe economic development and planning staff look at that as a broader topic.”

“Out of curiosity, has this space already been built out with kind of restaurant ventilation so that it could have been a restaurant or was it never really finished with?”

“That'd be worth knowing, especially if it could revert back at some point. It'd be nice to know whether the, because you can't really revent a space easily.”

“And on that theme, I guess I would encourage, again, I mentioned it last week in the work session, that the Whole Foods parking also be considered shareable. I know Whole Foods closes after nine, so there's already an informal agreement that people can use it as public parking. But if Insight were open to it, I think it'd be great to encourage all that parking be utilized as well. If anybody goes to Pilates after nine o'clock, I guess at night.”
