Associate City Counselor Dustin Birch presented highlights regarding Ordinance 16154
Electronic Meetings. He indicated that written permission is now required by the City
Administrator in order to conduct a meeting fully by videoconference. Also, the chair may permit
individual members to videoconference in, provided that no more than half the commission
attend by videoconference. When a member videoconferences in, their face must be visible
during the meeting.
Old Business:
Amy invited Associate City Counselor Birch to present his feedback on the draft mural code
amendment. His sole recommendation was to clarify the meaning of “projecting” in Section 3-
36.A.2.a. Emily motioned to amend Section 3-36.A.2.a to read “No mural can extend no more
than 12 inches over public sidewalk.” Jim seconded the motion. Motion carried on a voice vote,
with all voting in favor. Amy will draft a bill summary. Councilwoman Ward suggested presenting
the proposed bill summary to Public Works and Planning Committee before moving it to City
Council.
Amy updated commission members on new website progress. The site is approximately 75%
complete. She will have commission members review the site before going live in the next
month or so.
