Council delays formal West Ridge Phase 2 LED hearing to next business meeting; public may use open‑mic tonight
Summary
City staff said the formal public hearings required by ordinance for the West Ridge Phase 2 LED were not properly noticed for this meeting and will be scheduled at the next business meeting; attendees may speak informally during tonight's open mic or submit comments by email.
City staff announced that the formal public hearing required by ordinance for the West Ridge Phase 2 LED implementation was not properly published for tonight's meeting and that the hearing will be scheduled at the next business meeting.
A city official said attendees who expected to address the LED matter tonight would be allowed to speak informally during the meeting's open‑mic "communications from the floor" period, but that formal testimony should be submitted at the May 5 business meeting or via email so comments are recorded in the ordinance's hearing record.
Why it matters: the official cautioned that ordinance rules govern when and how comments are formally lodged in the public hearing record; the city will use the next business meeting to "appropriately establish the formal public hearings that ordinance requires" for West Ridge Phase 2 LED.
No vote or decision on the LED proposal occurred. Staff said it will move the matter to the next business meeting and provide notice consistent with the ordinance's publication requirements.
