Regular City Council Meeting <br /> Monday,November 19, 2012 <br /> Page 21 <br /> Mayor Roe reminded the public of their next opportunity to comment on the <br /> 2013 Budget and Levy at the December 3, 2012 regular City Council meeting at <br /> 6:00 p.m. <br /> c. Adopt Assessment Policy <br /> Mayor Roe advised that, during tonight's meeting, staff had found a potential <br /> problem with the draft Policy as presented; and that it had subsequently been <br /> pulled from tonight's agenda and would be included on a future agenda for con- <br /> sideration. <br /> d. Adopt Electric Undergrounding Policy <br /> Public Works Director Schwartz briefly reviewed revisions and/or new lan- <br /> guage to the Policy since last heard by the City Council at their July 2012 meet- <br /> ing(lines 79, lines 84-86), as detailed in the RCA dated November 19, 2012. <br /> Councilmember Johnson opined that the revisions represented his understanding <br /> of those previous discussions; and complimented staff on making those revi- <br /> sions. <br /> Mayor Roe, regarding Attachment A, questioned if "City" or "City Council" <br /> was most applicable (lines 13, 16, 22, and other areas); opining that this was ac- <br /> tually a City policy, not a City Council policy; and suggested making an ad- <br /> justment to the language accordingly and as appropriate. <br /> City Attorney Gaughan suggested that in leaving language as currently written, <br /> it required City Council action before exercising a provision of a policy, not <br /> delegating authority to staff, but requiring City Council action. <br /> Discussion ensued on current language; definition of authority and action of the <br /> City Council; with the ultimate decision to defer to the recommendations of the <br /> City Attorney and leave language as presented. <br /> Johnson moved, Willmus seconded, approval of the Overhead Electric Under- <br /> grounding Policy (Attachment A) as presented; and as recommended by the <br /> City Council's Public Works, Environment, and Transportation Advisory <br /> Commission. <br /> Roll Call <br /> Ayes: Johnson; McGehee; Willmus; and Roe. <br /> Nays: None. <br /> e.
