STAFF COMMENTS
COMMISSIONER COMMENTS
COMMISSIONER DELGADO said it is good to be back.
COMMISSIONER CROSS thanked COMMISSIONER SCHMITT for what he did to
improve the city ordinance that had to do with parking on the sidewalks. It looks like it will
be adopted. He also went to the 17b easement meeting put on by BLA last week and it
was very worthwhile.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT said in the newspaper article it could be read that he had
identified himself as a P&Z commissioner and that the commission had acted on this issue
but that was not the case. A couple of weeks ago the City Council agenda was published
and he looked at the proposed ordinance. He took his proposal to the City Council work
session where he spoke during citizen comments and listened to the other comments,
and then left. He also attended the regular meeting where they had a corrected version
that included his proposal. At the end of the meeting, there was another citizen in the
audience and they were both recognized. He did not want to leave the impression that
the commission acted on this.
Dave Townsend wished everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
