City Council Meeting Minutes December 7, 2021 Page 3 of 12 REGULAR BUSINESS RECONSIDERATION OF ORDINANCE NO. 1811, SERIES 2021 — REDTAIL RIDGE MASTER PLAN ORDINANCE NO. 1819, SERIES 2021 — AN ORDINANCE REPEALING ORDINANCE NO. 1811, SERIES 2021, AN ORDINANCE APPROVING THE FIRST AMENDMENT TO CONOCOPHILLIPS CAMPUS GENERAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN (REDTAIL RIDGE MASTER PLAN) — 1ST READING, SET PUBLIC HEARING 12/21/21 OR RESOLUTION NO. 90, SERIES 2021 — A RESOLUTION REFERRING AN ORDINANCE TO A VOTE OF THE REGISTERED ELECTORS OF THE CITY OF LOUISVILLE AT A SPECIAL ELECTION TO BE HELD , 2022 Mayor Stolzmann introduced the item noting there is a choice to be made this evening. Council can either begin the process to repeal Ordinance No. 1811 or approve the resolution calling a special election. City Attorney Kelly stated Ordinance No. 1811, Series 2021, was approved on September 21, 2021. The ordinance approved, with conditions, a First Amendment to the ConocoPhillips Campus General Development Plan (Redtail Ridge Master Plan). The ordinance has not yet become effective because a referendum petition protesting against the effect of the ordinance was timely filed on October 25, 2021. The City Clerk issued an initial statement of petition sufficiency on October 27, 2021 and issued a final determination of petition sufficiency on Tuesday, December 7, 2021. Upon the Clerk's issuance of a final determination of petition sufficiency, the statutes require the City Council to "promptly reconsider the ordinance." Tonight the City Council can determine if it would like to repeal Ordinance No. 1811, Series 2021. To do this would require two readings of a new ordinance. If a new ordinance is approved it would become effective 30 days after publication and then the Council would consider a resolution of denial to the land use application. That would be in early February. Alternatively, the Council can refer Ordinance No. 1811 to a special election. The statutes require the election be held not less than sixty (60) days and not more than one hundred fifty (150) days after the final determination of petition sufficiency. Staff has begun researching processes and vendors and, given the complexities involved and problems vendors are having with supply chain issues, the City Clerk recommends the special election be scheduled for no earlier than April 5. Mayor Stolzmann asked for disclosures. Councilmember Most stated that she was not a member of the Council when the ordinance was originally approved. Prior to the election
