Item V.1 · Other
Nonprofit Services Advisory Committee adopted (Resolution 16-2024)
Approved · 3-1
The council adopted the resolution creating a 5-to-7 member committee to evaluate nonprofit funding applications. Members must live, work, volunteer, own property or own a business in the city; a majority must be primary residents. The question was whether to keep the section excluding nonprofit employees and board members. Eight speakers, including Craig Weakley, Diego Zegarra, Helen Nadel, Joel Zarrow and Megan McKenna, urged including them or limiting them to two seats. Council Members Tana Toly and Ryan Dickey favored striking the exclusion; Council Members Bill Ciraco and Ed Parigian preferred it as presented, and Parigian did not want current nonprofit employees or board members participating. A motion to strike Section 8(b) failed 2-3 (the mayor voted with the majority); the resolution as presented passed.
Item V.2 · Presentation
Environmental regulatory program updates
Discussed
