“Okay, we're gonna close public comment for right now and we will return to that at the later portion of the meeting. Thank you everybody for coming and speaking to council tonight. We're gonna move on to the consent agenda. Council, I'd accept a motion.”

“All right, it's been moved and seconded. Real quick, council, I would like to remove the contract for the PD recruitment campaign from consent agenda tonight so that staff can work with the vendor to reconfigure the timeline that's in there and also adjust the scope for the paid media deliverables. Staff said they would meet with the vendor and then they'd bring it back with a corrected contract. Everyone's okay with that? Okay, so with that, with the removal of that item, all those in favor of consent agenda say aye. Aye. All opposed? Thank you, council. Motion carries. Okay, we're gonna…”

“I would just add to that too, as we consider that, I know there's budget considerations too, and we're in the middle of budget season, we're talking about some sidewalk repair. It'd be great to have that factored in so that as we're drafting a budget, we can make sure that that's included. Is that part of the plan to bring this up, the ADA compliance?”

“We'll go back down the line. We'll go to Councilor Wells and then a couple of others.”

“Because this is a federal mandate, and it is a pretty tall order with the cost associated with that, I'm assuming, or are there grants available to us that we can apply either federally or otherwise that would help us expedite some of these things in a way that we can do on our own?”
City Council · Aug 27, 2026

“Yeah. I know there's a lot to prioritize in there, but this feels like a pretty big one, especially because we've had public comment talk about sidewalk safety and whatnot, and we want to make sure that, I mean, I think this is a priority for this council, and so the barriers are often cost, and so looking at how to fund it is pretty important.”

“Sorry. Real quick, I think we'll take a couple of questions on each of these because they're relevant. So it looks like Councilor Hamilton has a question as well.”

“Council, other questions on the public use covenant? Okay, we're going to continue.”

“So who is responsible for overseeing the allocation? Is that the construction management team? Is that a neutral third party? Like how does that get determined and who's determining that?”

“Do you foresee any sort of, I always think with stuff like this, like worst case scenario, but any sort of discrepancies and things like that where BRV might say, oh no, our share is less, or something like that, or the city might as well, and how does that get, what is the arbitration or identification process for that?”

“OKAY. GREAT. THANK YOU. COUNSELOR DAVIS, DID YOU HAVE A QUESTION?”

“I think so. I think there's a few questions. So we're going to start with Councillor Wells, and then we'll look to my right over here.”

“Regarding the that last followers as BRV must offer city first right of refusal prior to any sale Would I be correct in assuming that this all of these terms and in the lease agreement and the in the agreements we have between the city and BRV are Transferable directly or are we gonna end up having to renegotiate all or part of that? If if BRV was a solid and we were to decline to purchase it, what would then happen to all of the negotiations that have taken place up to this point?”
City Council · Aug 27, 2026

“Yeah, it does. Yeah. That's kind of what I thought as well. And I have a second question, too. And I'm not sure if I'm understanding this right, but the bullet says consideration for the lease is recorded as a recorded covenant for public purpose and use restrictions which are agreed to be noticed less than... $184,230. That amount, that's not the lease amount, is it, per year?”
City Council · Aug 27, 2026

“And then the rate at which the BRV is leasing the ground from the city, does that stay the same? I'm assuming it doesn't. Does it go up in increments?”

“Other questions, council? Okay, we can continue.”
