Regular City Council Meeting Monday,May 5, 2014 Page 21 Mr. Culver suggested it may be possible under the new program to add natural ar- eas, and administratively certify and monitor them as a BMP and as part of the permitting process. Councilmember Etten also asked staff to research how the original rates were de- termined and other rationale that may have been taken into consideration. Mr. Schwartz advised that staff would research how rates were calculated in 1984, which may be contained in ordinance versus the policy itself; and would report back to the City Council in the future as to whether they still applied, and how much water they typically contributed based on their land use. Roll Call Ayes: Willmus; Laliberte; Etten; and McGehee. Nays: None. 14. Business Items—Presentations/Discussions 15. City Manager Future Agenda Review City Manager Trudgeon reviewed upcoming agenda items. Regarding the rezoning and plat for 297 — 311 County Road B scheduled to return on May 12, Councilmember Willmus questioned if the developer planned to construct the lots as shown on the original plat. City Manager Trudgeon advised that it was his understanding that they'd comply with LDR-1 with no rezoning; but were still seeking City Council approval or denial on rezon- ing, as they didn't withdraw that portion of their application. Mr. Trudgeon noted that they could apply for code variances for different lot sizes, which could take the process into June or July, unless the applicant withdrew that request. Mr. Trudgeon clarified that the City Council had tabled action, creating the potential that the plat was brought for- ward with LDR-1 for City Council approval, creating a multi-faceted discussion. Regarding the inclusion of a Public Safety presentation by the Police and Fire Depart- ments scheduled for June 9, Mr. Trudgeon advised that he thought some Department Heads may get more opportunities for interaction with the City Council based on their work with various commissions; and therefore, he was trying to allow the Fire and Police Departments to present some of their items of interest for the public and City Council. As part of that discussion, Councilmember Etten asked that the Police Department publi- cally address some of their operations, provisions and training issues that have been re- considered following the recent civil action brought against the Police Department, and potential changes to improve service to the community. Councilmember Etten clarified that he was not suggesting any specific items that were part of the pending lawsuit.
