Regular City Council Meeting <br />Monday, September 14, 2020 <br />Page 4 <br />Mayor Roe indicated he was surprised that the City did not have parental signoff <br />on the student becoming a Youth Commissioner and the City should look at im- <br />proving its process in that regard, whether that has to be a policy update or part of <br />the Ordinance. He suggested staff look into this and determinewhat makes sense. <br /> <br />Councilmember Etten asked if the Council should see proposed language for this <br />before approval. <br /> <br />The direction of the Council was to have staff propose language for Council review <br />before voting on this item. <br /> <br />b. Receive Update on COVID-19 and Impact onCity Operations <br />City Manager Patrick Trudgeon briefly highlighted this item as detailed in the Re- <br />quest For Council Action and related attachments dated September 14, 2020. <br /> <br />Councilmember Etten asked if Mr. Trudgeon has looked at additional ways the City <br />can use the residential portion of support to help the residential homeowners with <br />utility costs. <br /> <br />Mr. Trudgeon indicated originally staff did look to see if the support could be used <br />for utility payments and some other things as well and the City EDA Attorney did <br />look at it and felt it might be a little bit challenging to make that connection for <br />CARES. He noted different attorneys have different opinions on this,so it becomes <br />a risk factor on the City’s part. He intended to talk to Finance Director Pietrick <br />about all of the changing guidance. Personally, he did not think it was a great risk <br />and if the City could help out a few people,then it is something that should be <br />looked at doing. <br /> <br />Mayor Roe asked whether staff has looked into helping residents with property tax <br />relief. He was not sure the City could use CARES funds for thatrelief. <br /> <br />Mr. Trudgeon indicated that is a tricky one because the City cannot use those dollars <br />to replenish something that the City would normally get. <br /> <br />8.
