No Parking Fines on Eclipse Day: Ryan Moehlman reviewed the proposed resolution limiting
the enforcement of parking regulations on August 21, 2017. Mr. Moehlman indicated the
proposed process was fairly consistent with the process which was previously approved for the
Governor’s Inauguration.

Reorganization of Planning Division within the Department of Planning and Protective
Services: City Administrator Steve Crowell indicated he was supportive of the staff
reclassification proposal submitted by Director of Planning and Protective Services Sonny
Sanders. The process requires Council approval of the requested reclassification. Director of
Planning and Protective Services Sonny Sanders explained the Planner III position currently
overseeing the Planning Division responsibilities would be reclassified to a Planning Manager
and be given oversight of both the Planning Division and the Metropolitan Planning
Organization (MPO) staff and functions. Additionally, the Planner III position which historically
has had oversight of the MPO functions and staff, would be reclassified to a Planner I or II
position. Director Sonny Sanders provided a handout further explaining the reclassification
proposal. Councilmember Fitzwater asked if the reclassification proposal would result in any
budgetary savings. Director Sonny Sanders indicated that there may be some minor budgetary
savings, but the overall goal of the reclassification was for improved assignment/operational
flexibility and management.
A motion was made by Councilmember Mark Schreiber and seconded by Councilmember Ward
to recommend to the entire Council authorizing a change in the City’s personnel schedule to
authorize one position with the title of Planning Manager (grade 20) and an additional Planner I
or II (grade 16/17) position and deleting the positions of Planner III (grade 19, two positions).
The motion was passed 5-0.

Food Truck Discussion: Councilmember Erin Wiseman gave a brief overview of the discussion
topic regarding requirements related to food trucks in the City. One question asked was what are
the code provisions for food trucks as compared to food carts. Councilmember Erin Wiseman
asked whether the Committee felt there was a need to review the regulations related to food
trucks and carts, specifically the regulations regarding permissible locations at which food
truck/carts can operate. There was a consensus of the Committee to review the operating
regulations regarding food truck/carts. The Committee requested staff to provide a summary of
the required regulations for food trucks and food carts, including whether those requirements are
different for festivals. City Administrator Steve Crowell stated that staff would do so.
