What happened

The council approved 10 routine items on consent, including $527,000 to hire architects for Fire Station No. 66 design and a $300,000 increase to a law firm contract for Chevron hydrogen project review.

The council unanimously authorized the city manager and police chief to coordinate with Officer Brad Moody's family following an apparent line-of-duty incident. Emergency authorization was needed to work directly with family members on official matters.

A home addition appeal at 3045 Keith Drive was approved 7-1, with Mayor McLaughlin voting no. The Design Review Board had previously approved a 900 square foot two-story addition in July 2008.

Discussion of commercial building and business code enforcement was continued to a future meeting with no vote recorded. The city plans to study whether current enforcement processes work effectively for business compliance.
