City Council Meeting Minutes February 3, 2015 Page 15 of 16 in delaying capital projects because construction costs are skyrocketing. He urged Council to complete the capital projects as quickly as possible. Council member Stolzmann explained there is opportunity cost associated with delaying capital projects when the City knows a project is not going forward. By leaving the money in the budget it can be used for other things that are needed. Council member Keany agreed there is a need for more transparency, and the transfers are confusing. Council member Leh agreed the process should be transparent and the list of candidate properties should be pared down. He noted the Council had a discussion with the Open Space Advisory Board at a study session, which involved cleaning up the list. He felt the City Council comments and discussion provided direction to the staff. City Manager Fleming thanked Council for their direction. He noted during the budget process, Council will be able to consider various tradeoffs. Mayor Muckle stated the City Council has been clear on their desire to acquire open space land as it becomes available. ORDINANCE No. 1678, SERIES 2015 — AN ORDINANCE AMENDING TITLE 17 OF THE LOUISVILLE MUNICIPAL CODE TO ALLOW FOOD TRUCKS, FOOD CARTS, AND MOBILE RETAIL FOOD ESTABLISHMENTS TO OPERATE AT THE COAL CREEK GOLF COURSE WITHIN A RESIDENTIAL ZONE DISTRICT —1St Reading — Set Public Hearing 02/17/2015 Mayor Muckle requested a City Attorney introduction. City Attorney Light introduced Ordinance No. 1678, Series 2016. He reminded Council of the adoption of regulations for food trucks last year. This ordinance is a cleanup amendment to make sure the zoning code clearly allows for mobile food sales at the golf course, either in conjunction with the operations at the golf course food service or at special events such as the 4th of July. Council member Keany asked if this amendment is a result of the enactment of a food truck ordinance or was it because past beverage carts and food cart were operating illegally. Planning and Building Safety Director Russ stated from a zoning perspective, retail sales within a residential district are illegal operations. MOTION: Mayor Muckle moved to approve Ordinance No. 1678, Series 2015 on first reading, ordered it published and set a public hearing for February 17, 2015, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Dalton. All were in favor. Absent: Council member Lipton.
