COVID-19 and Other City Business - April 7th (Remote) Council Meeting


This is one way that the City Council has adapted to keep local government running in the face of COVID-19.



Though I have not paid much attention to weekly agendas since leaving office, it seems somehow more important to be aware of what’s going on.

I highly recommend going to the City website:


It has a couple of urgency ordinances directly addressing impacts of  COVID-19. Also on the agenda is an item that seems to be a glimmer of hope to settle the long running feud between owners of the vacant parcel at Oak and Clement (“Boatworks”) and the City. 

Take a look at the closed session items, too.



I’m interested in anything having to do with Northwest Territories (I think the 1704 acres is a typo, more like 170-ish acres?), its conversion to parkland can’t happen soon enough

And the item with Union Pacific in its title could very well have something to do with eminent domain proceedings on remnants properties by Bridgeside and Jean Sweeney Park, both being held by UP in poor condition.

Stay in, stay health, mask-up, wash hands.

People rising to meet the challenge: Capt. Brett Crozier USN, former CO of the USS Theodore Roosevelt (others before self)
