Mayor (identified in the transcript as both 'Dave Rose Maugham' and later as Rosenbaum) called the special hybrid planning session to order, asked the City Clerk Angela Larson to call roll; council members indicated presence.

The Mercer Island City Council held a hybrid planning session focused on complying with a Growth Management Hearings Board order and a new state TOD law, and approved a set of staff directions to analyze land capacity, adequate provisions, a station-area boundary, anti-displacement measures, and direct-delivery options for affordable housing. Later the council reviewed next steps on city facilities planning after a failed bond measure and directed staff to continue a reduced-scoped approach and community engagement.
