MEMORANDUM
DATE: May 28, 2024
TO: Mayor and Councilmembers
FROM: Heather Walls, Interim City Clerk
RE: Leadership Planning Team (LPT) Meeting
Mayor Jeni Arndt, Mayor Pro Tem Emily Francis, City Manager Kelly DiMartino, Deputy City Manager
Tyler Marr, City Attorney Carrie Daggett and Interim City Clerk Heather Walls met remotely via Microsoft
Teams on Tuesday, May 28, 2024. The following summarizes the discussions that began at 7:30 a.m.
May 28, 2024, Work Session:
• The published work session agenda was reviewed with 3 items scheduled for discussion: Council
Meeting Rules of Procedure Update, 2024 Legislative Wrap-Up, and Traffic Safety Initiative –
Automated Vehicle Identification System (AVIS) Corridors.
June 4, 2024, Regular Meeting:
• There are 19 items: 8 Second Readings, 6 First Readings, 5 Resolutions on consent and one appeal
on discussion.
• 2601 South College Avenue Landmark Eligibility Appeal – This item appeals the HPC determination
of landmark eligibility for the property. The HPC determination the property was landmark eligible
was overturned by a previous Council however the determination expired in 2023. New activity in
2023 triggered a historic survey to determine if a property qualifies as a City Landmark.
June 4, 2024, Electric Utility Enterprise (EUE) Board Meeting:
• The draft agenda was reviewed with 2 Second Readings.
Six-Month Calendar:
• June 18 – City Attorney Daggett noted an ordinance calling a Special Election was added to the June
18 meeting since Council will begin considering election-related Charter amendments, and this will
allow for other items to be placed on that ballot as well.
• June 25 – This date had been reserved for the recommended budget preview however it was
determined that one additional item could be added to the agenda. Staff has suggested a staff report
on the Riverside Solar Garden be added to this evening.
