Committee to forward ordinance clarifying that city code reports can come from non‑city offices
Summary
Committee members reviewed a staff‑prepared redline ordinance that would revise city code language to clarify that reports required under local code need not come exclusively from city offices; staff will bring the ordinance forward for first reading.
Council staff presented a redline ordinance to clarify that certain required reports are not limited to submissions from city offices and that other entities may provide the information the code calls for.
Staff said the packet included a redlined draft; the committee reviewed it briefly and indicated no objections to moving the item forward for introduction as typical first‑reading legislation. No formal vote was recorded in committee.
Staff asked if the committee preferred that the item be introduced and proceed through the normal first‑reading process or whether the chair would offer a brief report and delay introduction; committee members responded that they would introduce it as a standard first reading. Staff indicated they had prepared the ordinance and the redline and that the item will be brought forward in the regular legislative process.
Next steps: staff will present the ordinance for formal introduction at the council meeting in the normal sequence (first reading), where the council may debate, amend or schedule further votes.
