Continue Item P-2 regarding the Municipal Code relating to demolition permits for one week

Why This Vote Matters
The council voted to delay making changes to demolition permit rules for one week rather than deciding on the proposal. This means property owners will continue following current requirements for tearing down buildings while the council takes more time to review the proposed changes. The delay passed in a divided 6-3 vote, with council members McLaughlin, Rogers, and Butt voting against postponement. The proposed changes could either streamline the permit process or add new requirements for developers, but residents will have to wait another week to learn the council's decision.
