 City Council Special Meeting for Thursday, August 18th, 2022 to order. Thank you all for being here and thank you for your flexibility in scheduling this meeting. Do we have any agenda additions or changes for tonight? None from staff. Seeing the council are shaking their heads no, so no need to approve the agenda. Go into public to be heard. This is a portion of tonight's meeting where if there are any members of the public who wish to address something or bring something to the board's attention and is not on the agenda, now it's time to do so. Please go ahead, raise your hand if you have anything you'd like to bring up to the board. Not seeing any hands going up, so we will close the portion of public to be heard and move into business item 5A and to consider changing the date for a warning of the public hearing on land development code updates regarding cannabis. Yeah, thanks Andrew. As it says in the memo, we dropped the ball on this. We didn't anticipate the correct deadlines for when the previously, previous date selected for the public hearing was to be warned and so I apologize that you have to join together for this special meeting today and re-warn this, but we do need to re-warn it in order to get a publication in the paper 15 days in advance. As the memo says, the very soonest that we could get something in the paper, if you warn this tonight is Tuesday the 23rd, normally we prefer to go with seven days because it's a bit cheaper, so we could do that on 824 and then in the memo you can see the different dates that then you could host the public hearing. I think it's important to note that once it is published, then those regulations are in effect. So whether it's published the 23rd or 24th, it doesn't really matter to be honest when you host your public hearing because the regulations will be the ones that will be utilized to adjudicate or to review any cannabis retail applications. So with that I'll leave it to you if you have any questions or discussion. Thank you Brad. I just want to mention how the preference is for seven days that would require a meeting date that's, I believe, different than our regular one, or actually no, our regular meeting would be 914, not 9-7, correct? Correct. So I would say let's try to keep it as a part of the regular meeting instead of having the special meetings, try to reduce everyone's workload as best as possible. Yeah, Andrew, and sorry, I'll let the others chime in, but I would say that's probably consistent, you know, with previous years. I believe it's normal practice to either take a meeting off in July or August, and I don't think we've done that. So this essentially would result in taking the second meeting off in August, which I think is relatively consistent with previous years of in those summer months, having one of those months where there's only one meeting. I believe I saw a barge to stand and go up. Yeah, that sounds fine. I just want to make doubly sure that we're, that we're correct on the, on what rules apply for, you know, judging and application. We've already got one grow operation in a district that we don't know, we potentially aren't going to allow it in. And this will take 21 days to hold after we approve it. The 14th puts us after the retail deadline, retail start date of the first of October. It's not just retail though, it's cultivation and everything else that's already well underway. So I just want to make sure we're absolutely sure that. Once we get this warned, we are operating under the chart that CCRPC shared last in our last meeting and that we can consider both regulations. Thanks, Roger. Once the publication goes in, which will be the either the 23rd or 24th, at that moment, all applications will be reviewed by the proposed updates. And that is Regina assured, not Brad assured. Okay, that should make you feel better. Not going to do against the other. Make sure we're okay. I double checked with her to make sure because I, yes, she's the expert and she confirmed. Okay, thanks. So I'll make a motion if there are any just to keep things going. People won't sing any other hands up. What was that data again, Brad 14th? Yeah, I move that we that seems weird. I move that we move our previously warned public hearing on the cannabis related land development code updates from August 31st to September 14th, 2022. Second. Thank you, Ross. Thank you, Danny, for the discussion. Hearing none of those in favor, please signify by saying aye. I suppose we say nay. Great, so that passed unanimously on the related note to this. I assume then what this would mean is we had scheduled the meeting for the 31st instead of the 24th of August. I assume we're going to push that back now so that we would go back to our regular schedule of our next meeting being August 24th instead of the 31st. That's a good idea. Brad had mentioned taking the second meeting of August off as a tradition, but I don't know if that's still. And I and Brad, we can talk about whether or not a meeting is actually necessary. Yeah. I think if I put it in that memo or in the email, I would say there are no pressing matters at the moment. There are some things that need to be discussed, but as to whether or not those happen on the 24th, 31st or 14th, I don't think there's any. Any consequences if if things are pushed off to the 14th. OK, when are you back, Brad? I am back on Monday. Maybe we can just touch base at some point then just to finalize so everyone's calendars are up to date that are not holding a date. No one needs to hold. That's totally fine. Do you want to leave it as as of now that the next city council meeting is nine fourteen? In a worst case, why don't we leave it at now to hold the eight twenty four as a worst case? And then if it's not needed, then it would go to the 14th. OK, I'm just. I could we certainly could get things prepared for eight twenty four. It would be it would be on Monday or Tuesday. We just we were not anticipating meeting on eight twenty four. And so there have not been any wheels in motion to get any agenda items or packets ready for for that date. So I guess if you if you are feeling the need to meet and we can we can talk about this next week, maybe we could consider continuing to meet on the thirty first, yeah, would be my request, Andrew. And if and then if if we decide looking at all the agenda items that we can push it off to nine fourteen, then we then we do that. Does that work that that does the only reason why I was the other part of motivation is that the thirty first is the first day of school in our district. And so for those who have kids that are having their first day of school, that might be a disruptive day in and of itself. So just trying to keep that as a factor in this as well. But again, you and I, we can talk about this later. We don't need to take up everybody's time. OK, so if I'm hearing you, then eight thirty one is is a potential meeting for the next city council, but not eight twenty four. And you and I will try and assess as soon as possible as to whether or not we can eliminate the thirty one and just go to nine fourteen or or do something on the thirty one. Sure, let's let's hold the thirty first. And you know, talk next week. OK, that sounds great. Great. So with no other business, if somebody wanted to make a motion to adjourn. So moved. Second. Thank you, Raj. Thank you, Amber. All those in favor of signify by saying aye. Aye. We'll say thank you. Very pass unanimously. Thank you all and have a good evening. See you. Right.
