Staff recommends approval of the Consent Calendar. Anyone may request an item on this calendar to be "pulled" off the Consent Calendar and considered separately. Agenda items pulled from the Consent Calendar will be considered separately under Pulled Consent Items. Items remaining on the Consent Calendar will be approved by City Council with one vote. The Consent Calendar consists of: ● Ordinances on First Reading that are routine; ● Ordinances on Second Reading that are routine; ● Those of no perceived controversy; ● Routine administrative actions. If the presiding officer determines that the number of items pulled from the Consent Calendar by citizens is substantial and may impair the Council’s ability to complete the planned agenda, the presiding officer may declare that the following process will be used to simplify consideration of the Citizen-Pulled Consent Items: (1) All citizen-pulled items (to be listed by number) will be considered as a group under the heading “Consideration of Citizen-Pulled Consent Items.” (2) At that time, each citizen wishing to speak will be given a single chance to speak about any and all of the items that have been moved to that part of the agenda. (3) After the citizen comments, any Councilmember may specify items from the list of Citizen-Pulled Consent Items for Council to discuss and vote on individually. Excluding those specified items, Council will then adopt all “Citizen-Pulled Consent Items” as a block, by a single motion, second and vote. (4) Any Citizen-Pulled Consent Items that a Councilmember has asked to be considered individually will then be considered using the regular process for considering discussion items. 1. Consideration and Approval of the Minutes of the January 21, February 4 and February 18, 2020 Regular Council Meetings and the February 11, 2020 Adjourned Council Meeting.

This Ordinance, unanimously adopted on First Reading on February 18, 2020, ratifies by ordinance City Plan and its components and elements as previously adopted by resolution in order to clarify that City Plan and its components and elements may be utilized as binding standards when referenced in the Land Use Code. In 2019, Council adopted an updated version of City Plan to replace the version of City Plan adopted in 2011. The prior City Plan adopted in 2011 would be ratified solely for purposes of reviewing development applications submitted prior to the effective date of the current version of City Plan adopted in 2019. For all other purposes, the version of City Plan adopted in 2019 would be ratified. 5. First Reading of Ordinance No. 041, 2020, Appropriating Unanticipated Black and Gray Market Marijuana Grant Revenue in the General Fund for Police Services.

First Reading of Ordinance No. 042, 2020, Reappropriating Funds Previously Appropriated in 2019 But Not Expended or Not Encumbered in 2019. The purpose of this item is to reappropriate monies in 2020 that were previously authorized by City Council for expenditures in 2019 for various purposes. The authorized expenditures were not spent or could not be encumbered in 2019 because:  there was not sufficient time to complete bidding in 2019 and, therefore, there was no known vendor or binding contract as required to expend or encumber the monies,  the project for which the dollars were originally appropriated by Council could not be completed during 2019 and reappropriation of those dollars is necessary for completion of the project in 2020, or  the funds appropriated to be spent in 2019 to carry on some of the programs, services, and facility improvements were not spent or encumbered in 2019 for other reasons but continue to be needed for the same purposes in 2020. In the above circumstances, the unexpended and/or unencumbered monies lapsed into individual fund balances at the end of 2019 and reflect no change in Council policies. Monies reappropriated for each City fund by this Ordinance are as follows: 7. First Reading of Ordinance No. 043, 2020, Adopting Revisions to the Master Street Plan.
