During the Aug. 6 meeting presentation, staff displayed monthly and annual call trends and said July’s call volume appeared to be increasing toward historical highs. The presenter cautioned that the department does not have firm data explaining a 2023 dip and that the figures are not cause for immediate alarm. “We don't we don't have enough data to tell us why,” the presenter said, noting that the numbers remain modest by historical standards.

Staff told the council that when call volume increases with population growth, the department may eventually need to consider adding another officer to handle workload. The department’s July report identified one major accident the prior month and the remainder of calls as typical police work: welfare checks, lockouts, property damage, assaults and other routine responses.

The presentation did not include a specific staffing request or a formal vote; staff characterized the information as background for future planning. Council members thanked the presenter and noted local advantages in access to some medical services cited during other agenda items.

During the Aug. 6 meeting, a council member introduced proposed updates to the land-use code to align with an art gallery vision document and to commence the process of creating a hospital zone. A council member noted that current land-use designations are residential and require variances for certain medical uses; the suggested change would be a code amendment initiated through Planning and Building to establish a hospital district that better fits the community vision.

Council discussion emphasized procedural next steps rather than immediate regulatory changes. One speaker said there are “some restriction to how close they get to the property line,” noting proximity and setback considerations staff would need to analyze. Another councilor commented on local healthcare access, citing a recent, expedited referral and MRI appointment as an example of available local services.

A motion was made on the floor asking Planning and Building to start conversations about creating a new hospital district settlement. The meeting transcript does not record a roll-call vote that adopted an ordinance; the item was presented as a direction to staff to begin the planning and code-change process. Staff will need to return to the council with a formal proposal if code text amendments are drafted.

Croft described collecting photos, personal recollections and archival material to create a roughly 200-page volume she would presell. “I would probably need a, like, upfront work with helping with maybe getting out flyers… but for a book… it’d run about $30 to $35 [to print], and he suggests selling them for $49.95,” Croft told the council. She said she planned to do layout and interviews and asked the council whether the city could provide $150 to get the project started.

Council members and staff discussed options for handling funds and administration. A council member offered $50 on the spot. City staff suggested the project could be invoiced to the city for $150 and administered under an existing Independence Day 501(c)(3) with a separate bank account, if the council and the nonprofit agreed. Staff also noted the city’s records room already contains scrapbooks and that digitization assistance could be possible.

Croft said she expected to presell copies and consider advertising to offset printing costs; she also mentioned volunteers and local journalists who had offered support. Council members asked about logistics and urged Croft to coordinate with city staff to establish a bank/accounting approach. The meeting transcript does not record a formal roll-call vote on funding; instead the discussion concluded with staff advising Croft on next steps for invoicing and nonprofit administration.

Rolly Coates and his sister, Ray Fleet, spoke during the public comment portion of the meeting to ask the council for help covering costs tied to showing animals at the Yosemite County Fair. “I’m excited about winning a buckle maybe or having a lot of fun at the show,” Rolly Coates said, and Ray Fleet described the money as helping fund future animals or college funds after sale.

Council members moved quickly to consider the request. A motion to award $150 was made by a councilor whose name was not clearly captured on the audio and was seconded by Councilor Robert Anderson. During a roll-call vote recorded in the meeting transcript, council members answered in the affirmative: Trial (recorded) — yes; Warner — yes; Crane — yes; Hill — yes; Anderson — yes. The mayor or presiding officer then said the motion passed.

The donation was described during the meeting as a direct grant to the youths’ sale account so that proceeds from selling their animals would be increased; the speakers said donated funds would be tied to the animals’ sale. The council wished the young exhibitors luck as they prepare for the fair.

The action was recorded as a formal motion and vote in the public meeting minutes.
