He stated that if Council chose to schedule a public hearing that would take place at the next meeting, ndth August 14, 2024, then have a 2 reading on the 28 of August and publish the ordinance on September 3, 2024, and that would be the effective date.

Additional comments were stated that staff should always be fixing and making things better without the necessity of a moratorium, legislative pressure of development, the Senator being scheduled to speak with the Council the same evening, being a city that invited development and whether height, density modifications could be amended to address issues that have been brought to light with the proposed apartment building rather than a moratorium.
