Commission postpones public‑works amendments, forwards annual work program to council
Summary
The commission postponed a set of public‑works and grease‑trap related amendments until the public works director can attend, voted to forward its annual work program to council for July consideration, and declined to form standing subcommittees this month.
The Building Standards Commission postponed consideration of proposed amendments to Chapter 3 (building) and a draft grease‑trap ordinance until the public works director can meet with the commission.
Commissioners and staff agreed to postpone the item and directed that staff bring the item back when the public works director is prepared to present; the motion to postpone (or postpone until staff indicates readiness) passed unanimously. Commissioners said the public works director’s expertise and input are needed to resolve technical elements.
Separately, the commission approved forwarding its annual work program and report to the city council and asked staff to place the item on the July council agenda (commissioners preferred the item not be placed on consent unless council indicates it is appropriate). The motion directing the chair to finalize edits and submit the work program passed unanimously.
The commission discussed forming subcommittees (for example, to handle technical drainage subwork) but did not create any subcommittees at this meeting; commissioners said they may form ad hoc groups later when specific technical staff are available. The commission also instructed staff to continue outreach for relevant staff participation (public works director and city engineer) on technical items.
