Office of the City Clerk
SUBJECT
Title
Approval of Amended Minutes for the March 13, 2025, Regular City Council Meeting.
Body
RECOMMENDATION
The Office of the City Clerk recommends Council approve the amended minutes from the March 13, 2025, regular City Council meeting to reflect assignment of bill number 11 to the 9:15 A.M. #2 scheduled hearing (File ID 25-311).
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The adopted City Council minutes of March 13, 2025, do not include a bill number assigned to the 9:15 A.M. #2 agenda item (ID 25-311). Bill numbers are assigned to all ordinances at the time they are introduced at City Council meetings. As the 9:15 A.M. #2 agenda item introduced an ordinance, the March 13, 2025, regular meeting minutes must be updated to reflect the assigned bill number and additional clarification as follows:
1. The words, “BILL B-11 INTRODUCED AND LAID OVER” will be added to the 9:15 A.M. #2 Scheduled Hearing (ID 25-311) on the minutes of March 13, 2025. The change can be seen on page six of the attached amended minutes.
2. To clarify the action taken during the meeting, the words, “NOT APPROVED” will be updated to read “AMENDMENTS NOT APPROVED.” The change can be seen on page six of the attached amended minutes.
The amended minutes will ensure accuracy in official city records and allow the public to easily research the introduction of the ordinance.
BACKGROUND
During the regular City Council meeting of March 13, 2025, a hearing was held to consider text amendment application number P23-03410 relating to tobacco and vapor sales, smoke shops and definitions. The text amendment (ordinance) was introduced as part of the 9:15 A.M. #2 Scheduled Hearing (ID 25-311). During introduction, a Councilmember made a failed motion to amend the text amendment. Introduction of an ordinance does not require a vote and no other votes were taken on the item. As the motion to amend failed, the text amendment was introduced as presented.
The City Clerk’s Office assigned bill number 11 to the introduced ordinance. The bill number was inadvertently omitted from the draft minutes due in part to the wording “NOT APPROVED” which related only to the failed amendment.
ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS
Not applicable.
LOCAL PREFERENCE
Not applicable.
