City staff opened the virtual workshop, confirmed attendance and noted technical issues with screen sharing and participant naming. Staff previewed the two main items on tonight's agenda: a review of the special event ordinance and a subsequent stormwater briefing. City staff asked the public that will view the stream to note the meeting is being recorded.
City staff presented proposed revisions to the special event ordinance (ending automatic fee waivers, classifying events by city resources, late fees, and a SERV review committee) and a separate briefing on stormwater assets and options including a stormwater utility/in‑lieu program and green infrastructure incentives. Commissioners generally supported more consistent rules for city events, sponsorships, and exploring an in‑lieu approach for stormwater, while emphasizing careful implementation and public outreach. No formal votes were taken; staff will circulate follow‑up materials and a questionnaire and return drafts for commission review.
