MEMORANDUM
DATE: September 14, 2015
TO: Mayor and Councilmembers
FROM: Wanda Winkelmann, City Clerk
RE: Leadership Planning Team (LPT) Meeting
Mayor Wade Troxell, City Manager Darin Atteberry, Deputy City Manager Jeff Mihelich, Assistant City Manager
Kelly DiMartino, City Attorney Carrie Daggett, Deputy City Attorney John Duval, and City Clerk Wanda
Winkelmann met on Monday, September 14, and the following summarizes the discussions that began at 1:06
p.m.
September 15 Regular Meeting/Work Session
Mayor Troxell noted Councilmember Cunniff sent an email on Thursday reporting he will be pulling Consent
Agenda Item #9 regarding the rebate to Woodward, Inc. Because additional dialogue is needed on the rebate,
the Mayor requested that this item be postponed until the regular meeting on October 6 (and put on the
Discussion Agenda) when all members of Council are present.
Consent Agenda Item #12 concerns proposed “housekeeping” amendments to the marijuana code. Due to the
nature of these changes, public engagement has been limited. Between first and second readings staff will
contact marijuana business licensees to inform them of the proposed amendments.
Six Month Planning Calendar
A URA Work Session to provide an update on the URA Reform Bill (HB 15-1348) was originally scheduled for
September 29; after a brief discussion, the LPT determined this Work Session is no longer needed and instead,
staff will provide the update in memo format and include a timeline when activities related to the formation of a
new URA Board will occur.
Regarding the discussion on the September 29 Work Session regarding the Street Oversizing Fund, staff is asked
to answer the following questions in a Thursday Packet memo:
1. Why is this item being brought forward to Work Session?
2. What problem are we trying to solve?
3. Is this an update or a change to the program and/or fees?
The October 20 Regular Meeting includes a discussion on the Public Indecency Code provision. City Attorney
Daggett noted she was directed by Council to bring forward options and a memo will be forthcoming.
A discussion on updating the Council’s Rules of Procedures will occur on November 3 Regular Meeting.
Procedures regarding the APU process and the Order of Items for Special Meetings will be included in the
discussion.
