City Council <br />Meeting Minutes <br />April 28, 2020 <br />Page 5 of 6 <br /> <br />Members agreed with the staff recommendation to waive the fee for the Main Street <br />Patios this year. Other ideas for the summer will have to be considered as we have more <br />information. <br /> <br />July 4th <br /> <br />Mayor Stolzmann stated it seems hard to imagine how we could do anything that would <br />not encourage gathering if we have fireworks. She suggested perhaps the City can do <br />something in December, but for now July 4th cannot proceed as planned. <br /> <br />Members agreed with the staff recommendation that the event be cancelled this year. If <br />other options become available those will be considered. <br /> <br />Other Areas <br /> <br />Councilmember Dickinson suggested the tennis courts might be able to be opened safely. <br />Councilmember Lipton agreed. <br /> <br />Councilmember Lipton would like the City to find the ways to open up spaces safely. <br />Councilmember Fahey agreed. <br /> <br />Mayor Pro Tem Maloney asked when we would have more information on beginning in- <br />person public hearings again. City Manager Balser stated BCPH is expected to give <br />guidance on this soon. The considerations will need to include the size of a gathering, <br />social distancing, and masking. <br /> <br />DISCUSSION/DIRECTION/ACTION – CITY COUNCIL ADVANCED AGENDA AND <br />MEETING SCHEDULE <br /> <br />Clerk Muth stated the advanced agenda now includes some long meetings in August to <br />address land use issues. She noted the schedule is dependent on when quasi-judicial <br />matters can be heard by the Council. She stated the previously approved Council meeting <br />break that runs from mid-June to early July does limit meeting options and the Council <br />may want to reconsider that vacation. <br /> <br />Following discussion, Mayor Stolzmann moved to return to a normal meeting schedule <br />but have no meetings on June 30 and July 7. The July schedule will be regular meetings <br />on July 14 and 28 and a study session on July 21. Councilmember Dickinson seconded <br />the motion. All in favor. <br /> <br />Members discussed the advanced agenda. <br /> <br />Mayor Stolzmann stated area mayors are discussing requiring masks in our communities. <br />She is suggesting staff bring an emergency ordinance requiring masks to the May 5 <br />meeting. Members agreed staff should bring an ordinance for Council consideration.
