What happened
The council approved 2 routine items on consent, including appointments to the Citizens Police Review Commission and Personnel Board.
The council unanimously extended a ban on new school construction in commercial areas until December 2018. The temporary restriction prevents developers from applying to build schools in certain commercial and mixed-use neighborhoods.
Council members approved moving the city's municipal ID card program operations into an existing city department. The program helps residents access city services and benefits, and staff will study transferring intake and marketing functions from their current location.
The council also approved guidelines for the Environmental and Community Investment Agreement grant program. The competitive grant program will fund local projects once organizations can begin applying under the new application process.
Discussion of planning concepts for Northshore neighborhood development and tobacco retailer license law amendments were both continued to future meetings without votes recorded.
