Speaker 1: Which is final passage of ordinance amending the element of principle code by amending Chapter 27 development fees by repealing 27 dash for only two point development impact reads in its entirety. And we have a speaker on this item.
Speaker 2: All right, um, our speaker, please.
Speaker 1: Jay Garfinkel.
Speaker 2: Mr. Garfinkle. There you are.
Speaker 3: Hi. Well, I don't have any particular interest in the outcome. I'm more concerned with the process. The item has a letter from an attorney representing a company that has assessed the situation and feels that it. I'm not sure if it's illegal or unwise or whatever, but there is a challenge to the proceeding and it would seem to me that we should hear from the city manager in writing and the city attorney in writing to determine whether there's any validity to the objection that's been filed. Like I said, I don't care how it comes out. I just think that it since a legal challenge is being raised, that we should get response from our city staff . Thank you.
Speaker 2: And I will just say not that this Q&A, but just an observation that this is final passage of an ordinance as a second reading. And this item was before the council at the last council meeting and fully deliberated and voted upon at that time. Do we have any further speakers on this item? Public speakers, Madam Clerk.
Speaker 1: We have none.
Speaker 2: Okay. And then anything further from the council saying then maybe we have a roll.
Speaker 0: Call vote, please.
Speaker 1: Do you have a motion in the Second Amendment?
Speaker 2: I was doing it backwards. We would have gotten around to the immersion in the vice mayor is second from. Councilmember Vela second. Right. Okay.
Speaker 1: Again. Councilmember de fag? Yes. Next light. Hi, Odie.
Speaker 3: Yes.
Speaker 1: Vella. Yes, Mayor. As the Ashcroft I carries by five eyes.
Speaker 2: All right. Thank you very much. So with that, we have concluded the consent calendar, and now we move to the regular calendar, regular agenda.
Speaker 1: Exchange, the adoption of resolutions, reappointing Thomas Saxby as a member of the Historical Advisory Board, reappointing Adam Gillet, and appointing a Tierney stringer as members of the Public Art Commission, reappointing Gerald 70 as a member of the Public Utilities Board, and appointing Samantha Soules as a member of the Transportation Commission.
Speaker 2: And approval he is second. Okay. Do we have any comments? And I just want to comment. I said I think I said this when I introduced these names of these individuals last week, that I am just overwhelmed and so heartened and gratified. And I know council would share my sentiments with the quantity and the quality of applicants we're getting. And I'm talking to our different staff who staffs our different boards and commissions. And we think it's a combination of, you know, it's COVID 19. People are working from home, so maybe they have a little more time to focus on some local issues. But I think with all the layers of issues we've been dealing with since the spring, people have really focused on how can I make a difference? And one of the things I love hearing when I'm interviewing and I always conduct the interviews with whoever the city staff is who staffs that Border Commission. But if people are saying they just want to give back, they love living here, they want to give back. And I'm really excited that we have a combination of folks who've lived here while we've got newcomers, and they all bring so much talent and energy to the to the table. So thank you all and welcome. And so, Madam Clerk, this is where and I see we've got Adam Gillett, who's a graphic artist who is on he's returning. He is the current president of the Public Art Commission. Tierney Ringer is a newcomer, extremely talented women worked for the Smithsonian when she was back in D.C., worked for the Exploratorium. When she came out here, mom of two preschoolers, you know, one of those with lots of free time, but willing to share her time and her
