Next steps and administration notes
Several approvals require subsequent administrative steps: executing grant and funding agreements, negotiating and returning with development agreements, completing a dispatcher reclassification (labor item), and drafting a legal policy before expanded towing/removal activity. The board asked staff for timelines and return dates on the directed follow-ups.
For readers: Items involving public-safety staffing and proposed pilot enforcement changes drew the most public comment and board discussion; items that were routine or uncontested (NCMEA, CDDA, some consent items) moved quickly. All motions and votes were recorded in the meeting audio and minutes.
