Committee approves consent agenda, postpones law-enforcement concealment-of-identity ordinance

Chair Jason Chavez opened the Aug. 5 meeting of the Public Health, Safety, and Equity Committee and moved to approve the consent agenda, which included contract amendments with the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension and Canopy Roots, acceptance of multiple public‑health preparedness grants, and gift acceptances for staff conference attendance. He asked the clerk to call the roll and verified a quorum was present.

The motion also set public hearings for proposed ordinances on noise regulations and pet‑ownership restrictions and included a motion to postpone item 12 — the law‑enforcement concealment of identity ordinance — to the committee’s Sept. 23 meeting. Chair Chavez moved the package for approval and called the voice vote; the motion carried after members responded, “Aye.”
