    Second Reading: Ordinance for Capital Improvements Using Liquor Contribution Special Revenue Fund

    The Council was scheduled to take a second and final reading of a transitory ordinance authorizing $500,000 in expenditures from the Liquor Contribution Special Revenue Fund for capital improvement projects. These funds derive from city-owned liquor store profits and were already incorporated into the 2024 Capital Improvement Budget for several park and recreation related projects. Under City Charter Section 7.12, a transitory ordinance is legally required before special revenue funds can be spent on capital improvements.

    First Reading: Ordinance Amendment Adjusting Parking Requirements

    The Council was scheduled to consider a first reading of an ordinance amendment that would update city-wide parking requirements across several categories, including reducing minimums for Class III Restaurants and standardizing multi-family housing parking at 1.25 stalls per unit across all zoning districts. City staff raised safety concerns about the multi-family reduction and offered an alternative recommendation requiring 1.5 stalls per unit minimum with discretion to reduce to 1.25 under certain conditions, while the Planning Commission recommended the original lower-minimum version. A second reading was tentatively scheduled for July 23, 2024.
