D. COUNCIL DECLARATION OF FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS
https://youtu. be/hSWDHP5mJg0?t=953
Council Member Headding requested the Council discuss whether to direct staff to formally
verify and tabulate all ballots the City received prior to the end of the public hearing. His
suggestion was not to reopen whether there were sufficient valid ballots to protest the WRF
surcharge as that decision had been made. He hoped verifying and tabulating the number of
protests would lay to rest any consternation regarding those who may have protested and not
been heard. During tabulation staff could use all criteria provided in Resolution No. 44-18
except the requirement they be dated after July 13, 2018. As part of discussion, he asked the
Council to decide whether the presently seated Council or that to be seated in early December
should make that decision. He requested this item be brought back to the next Council meeting
to be completed by the Clerk according to a timeline determined by City Manager. There was
full Council support for this item. Mr. Collins confirmed a staff report would be prepared for
Thursday's special meeting.
Based on the passage of Measure D-18, Council Member McPherson requested discussion of
establishing a cannabis tax rate. There was full Council support for this item.
Council Member McPherson requested the Council consider a future agenda item related to
Item C-3 to be heard later in the meeting. It was agreed that could be discussed during Item C-
3.
Council Member McPherson requested discussion of separating functions of WRFCAC and
CFAC so financial aspects of WRF would be brought to the CFAC and the WRFCAC would deal
only with technical issues. There was full support for this item.
