Council approves motion to vacate Rinaldi Street after resident testimony
Summary
Residents testified in favor of vacating Rinaldi Street to preserve neighborhood character; the council approved the motion by voice vote (10 ayes).
Members of the public spoke in support of a motion to vacate a portion of Rinaldi Street and the council approved the item on Oct. 9 by voice vote (recorded as "10 ayes").
Maureen Levitt told the council that her husband Gary could not attend because of mobility problems but thanked Council Member Brunson for pursuing the matter. Larry Belkin said he supported the motion "to vacate Rinaldi Street so it doesn't go through," adding that opening the street to traffic could increase crime and risk for families and children in the neighborhood.
The council heard these public comments, closed the public comment period and then approved the item; the transcript records the vote as "10 ayes." No additional details about the exact legal description of the vacation, staff reports, or conditions included with the vacation are recorded in the provided transcript excerpt.
A third speaker card from Jeannie Plumb was acknowledged by the clerk but the transcript indicates she did not speak. The action was approved without a recorded roll-call of individual member votes in the excerpt.
