Summary

Council asked staff to schedule an Economic Development Corporation update, an executive session to brief new council members on lawsuits and contracts, and follow-up with planning and zoning on special use permits and proposed text amendments.

Council used the end of the meeting to flag several follow-up items for future agendas, including an update from the Economic Development Corporation director and an executive session to brief newly seated council members on pending lawsuits, contracts and other behind-the-scenes matters.

Council members also discussed the special use permit process and urged staff to begin the text amendment and rezoning work with planning and zoning. A councilmember suggested joint workshops with planning and zoning rather than piecemeal changes to zoning that could lead to unintended consequences.

Staff said they will determine the appropriate process and timeline and bring back recommendations to the council for scheduling. Board reappointments and vacancies were also noted for the coming months.
