Council schedules public hearing on proposed Transportation Utility Fee amendment
Summary
The council scheduled a public hearing and staff presentation on an amendment to the Transportation Utility Fee; staff will present, the public may comment, and the council may delay, refer to work session, or adopt by ordinance.
The council’s agenda included a public hearing to receive public comment on a proposed amendment to the Transportation Utility Fee. Community & Economic Development Director Jonathan Weidenhamer was listed as the staff presenter; the published procedure for the hearing included a presentation, opening the hearing, receiving public input, closing the hearing, council discussion and then options for council action (move action to a future meeting, refer to a work session for more discussion, or adopt the amendments by separate ordinance).
The agenda language indicates the hearing is procedural and intended to ensure public comment before council deliberation. The May 13 agenda scheduled that hearing at 7:30 p.m., and materials say that after public input, the council would take a motion and second to determine next steps. No final ordinance action appears in the provided meeting materials.
Council members and staff cited the hearing in the agenda packet; the presentation and any public comments would be the record used for eventual council direction or ordinance drafting. The Transportation Utility Fee also appears in budget materials and in the list of proposed utility fee changes.
