Motion failed. Voting Yes: Acting Mayor Riley, Councilmembers Woestehoff and Specht. Voting No: Councilmember Howell. Councilmember Specht made the point that this is a non-profit organization and a huge asset to the community. He added that there is some gray area in this as no one is sure exactly what was said originally in regard to their request. He thinks it would be beneficial to come to a compromise for them in order to maintain a relationship and respect what they do. Councilmember Woestehoff explained one of the reasons that he was in favor of a compromise is that this likely would have come up if the petitioner had brought it through the Planning Commission instead of through the Council, this would have gotten caught in the process. As Chair Bauer and others are members of the church, they chose to go above the Board and go straight to City Council. He said it seems like they were trying to do the right thing but they lost a step in the process that could have given some valuable feedback, which is why he is open to a compromise. City Administrator Hagen said that the first IUP did go through the Planning Commission, it was the amendment that went straight to Council due to the short amount of time since the original approval. 7.04: Introduce Ordinance #22-23 Amending Section 117-57 - Nonconforming Structures and Land Use Planning Manager Larson reviewed the staff report and recommendation by the Planning Commission for approval of the ordinance modifying section 117-57 of City Code to add the creation of a nonconformity by public action in the code. Councilmember Specht shared that he believes this is a good idea that helps businesses in the case of emergency type situations during the Highway 10 construction. Motion by Councilmember Specht, seconded by Councilmember Woestehoff, to introduce Ordinance #22-23 Amending Section 117-57 of City Code. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Acting Mayor Riley, Councilmembers Specht, Woestehoff, and Howell. Voting No: None. 7.05: Adopt Resolution #22-176 Accepting Bids and Awarding Contract for Improvement Project #20-05, Riverdale Drive Extension, Llama Street to Bowers Drive City Engineer/Interim Public Works Director Westby reviewed the staff report and recommendation to adopt Resolution #22-176 accepting bids and awarding a construction contract for Improvement Project #20-05. Riverdale Drive extension, Llama Street to Bowers Drive, to Douglas-Kerr Underground, L.L.C. for their bid of $2,342,102.66. Acting Mayor Riley said he likes that the presentation shows how they are trying to utilize funds and grants that would go into this project. City Council / August 8, 2022 Page 8 of 11
