Board discusses ordinance amendment; members agree to form small review group
Summary
Board discussed comprehensive ordinance updates and agreed informally to form a small subcommittee to draft recommendations; staff will circulate meeting times and locations for future reviews and possible council hearings.
Board members discussed updating an ordinance to harmonize code sections and recommended forming a small working group to prepare recommendations for the full board and eventual council hearings.
A presenter said there are “quite a few recommended changes” to bring various code sections into consistency and compliance. The presenter suggested the process would take months depending on the number of substantive changes chosen. The working group was suggested to meet once or twice a month and to avoid forming a quorum for those meetings; a two- or three-person subgroup was proposed.
Members discussed timing and logistics: meeting days that work, avoiding Mondays for some members, using the chamber if available, and holding two to three meetings within the board-level review before presenting a recommended draft to the full board and then to the council for public hearings. One board member said they would send meeting details to the other members.
No formal motion or vote to create the subcommittee was recorded. The discussion produced direction for staff to circulate availability and convene the proposed small group to begin reviewing the ordinance language. The board did not set specific members on the record, did not set final deadlines, and did not adopt any amendments during the meeting.
