Residents raise concerns about parking, sign-code enforcement and liability at council public comment
Loading...
Summary
Three residents addressed council: one urged discussion with a store manager about parking at 1015 Howard Boulevard; a second urged consistent enforcement of the downtown sign code; a third requested liability documentation and earlier minutes.
During the public-comment portion of the meeting three speakers urged the council to address distinct local issues.
Patrick Horn spoke about parking at 1015 Howard Boulevard (Ollie’s site), asking council or staff to talk with the store manager and the nearby bank about how the lots will be used when the business opens.
Doug Navarinsky of West 35th Street urged consistent enforcement of the city’s sign code, saying banners and window graphics in the downtown area appear to have been displayed for years without permits or design review. He asked the council to consider a monthly review or a proactive enforcement program so rules apply evenly.
Aaron Knapp raised concerns about liability and requested documentation from the law department related to a block of liabilities he said affects the city; he also asked that a minutes-signer record a signature for last year’s minutes. The treasurer and clerk acknowledged the request and staff agreed to follow up.
The council thanked the speakers for their comments and acknowledged staff would consider next steps for signage enforcement and records requests.
