hopefully, we can make a huge difference in the enormous problem of homelessness in the next 2 years
some might be safety for all people, economic vitality, vibrant, downtown, safer streets
will maintain parks and rec centers innovative bike security locking options
And also we strengthen our relationship with the school district.
to chats, walks and roles. With accessibility issues around our accessibility community.
chats can be also tunneled sort of umbrella for which all of those community dialogues occur in an informal setting
Just wanted to make sure that those work plan items include are inclusive of all of the different plans that they're related to.
since last fall Council had a study session related to a pretty comprehensive assessment that has been conducted around our entire board and commission system.
And both these oversight panel is another 5, 3 type group.
And I worry about items like minimum wage that are coming forth on a tight timeframe this summer
is this Federal money or the type of money. It is is this coming out of our general fund?
or actually, the accumulation of our decisions are creating more carbon lock into future decades.
I would just ask that we're also thinking about accessibility.
organizations like the same for people with disabilities
Our neighborhoods are the heart and soul of our community.
decreasing review times and paperwork for small scale, commercial projects and affordable housing
I'd also like to see us review our historic preservation codes while preserving our city's rich.
I would like to see us remove our parking minimums and revamp a number of our parking programs.
then landscaping code revisions. I really wanna make sure that our requirements reflect our commitment, sustainability and wildfire resilience.
As we talked about on our last council, assessing inclusionary housing fees for all types of structures, including single family.
So I'm gonna start with a ballot measures
There's 2 things I think we should consider, which is codifying the core arterial network.
and stabilizing our our school enrollment at its purest form
We got a Wildfire protection plan, but there are ordinances we can pass right now that get us on the way to protecting the homes
things like office, vacancy, business recruitment, related code changes, incentives us, social streets, community events
If we make a new part or rec center we have to maintain.
so let's get the arts community to help the schools to make some murals.
They are moving people out of encampments and into housing
And I understand that we have a Tdm proceeding.
Where does funding come into our discussion of priorities and things like that?
With our budget projections in May to talk about it
It is exciting to have climate goals that were established in 2021.
We do have senior water rights on paper.
I would love to have water information and feedback and guide us when we're making decisions related to those areas.
Better understanding the needs of immigrant community and arrivals, including workforce opportunities, financial support needs
are there areas where we're already seeing issues around hate crimes or discrimination of our immigrant community now
how we're partnering across the region to support immigrants who are integrating into our community
my ask with respect to the airport, is not the comfortable decision to close it or repurpose
I believe that both the North Planning Reserve and the airport are critical components of that strategy.
I also believe that accelerated undergrounding of utility lines to the extent that resources are available
better connections between the hill and downtown wildfire hardening particularly in the Wildland urban interface
study our water supplies. That's that was your suggestion. And how this will impact our community going forward
So for airport item, and the project work that we've been working on since we went.
how do we operate the airport with local dollars without fa dollars for the next 20 years
my number one priority is making sure we focus on the comprehensive plan update to make major changes in it
Another one is the high utilizer program. This is also not quite in flight.
could we put a little bit of affordable housing fund money in in exchange for that conversion
We have decay, private water infrastructure in several of our parks which is appalling.
How are we doing removing parking minimums while complying with that legislation?
It's a bill on the legislature to eliminate 2 means of egress from 5 story buildings.
There is some work, some code improvements, process improvements coming to council soon in the next couple of months.
I'm very excited about eliminating, parking minimums. Doing more reforms on zoning Sig signals practices.
Doing more reforms on zoning Sig signals practices. Tdm, reform, or by parking reform and rolling out.
So right now we've got 3 decarbonization targets.
It wouldn't dictate what we would do for for Area 3
