City Council <br />Study Session Summary <br />January 11, 2021 <br />Page 2 of 2 <br />• Asked Council to be sure no promises are being made to the public about <br />possible policy changes. <br />• Sustainability Coordinator Katie Baum is leaving the City for a position with <br />FEMA. <br />• Call center load is slowing down. Monday is a holiday and we hope to allow call <br />center staff the day off for some rest. <br />• City will no longer be staffing the DAC after today as the numbers of people <br />visiting are much smaller. Will staff it again if needed. Council can staff the table <br />if interested. <br />• City staff currently have twelve COVID cases and working to contain those. <br />• Workers comp claims starting to come in for staff that were in the field during the <br />fire. <br />• Rec Center is open; national director of NOAA will be at the center today <br />meeting with his staff. <br />• Ascent Church will stay open until at least 1/21 for placards. <br />City Manager Durbin noted there is a concern from various areas including DHSEM that <br />we don't overpromise on what we can deliver. <br />City Manager Durbin encouraged the Councilmembers to take advantage of the <br />counseling available. We are all affected by the trauma of this event either direction or <br />from working with residents. <br />Mayor Stolzmann noted people will need clarification on they choose to opt out of the <br />debris removal now if they can opt in later if they change their minds. <br />Mayor Stolzmann noted she and Deputy City Manager Davis will be participating in a <br />meeting the County is having with some builders. <br />Mayor Stolzmann stated she is in conversation with legislators about possible policy <br />changes they may want to bring forward to address fire issues. <br />Mayor Pro Tern Maloney said HOAs are interested in knowing if they can know who in <br />their neighborhood have and have not opted in to the debris removal group. <br />Councilmember Leh asked if mental health support services can be advertised for <br />residents. <br />Councilmember Dickinson stated the Council will want to look at how building costs are <br />impacting community and how or if some people rebuild. <br />Adjourned 10.06 am. <br />Submitted 1112122 Meredyth Muth <br />
