February 1st City Council Meeting

Watch it yourself here! Agenda here. The whole packet is here. Minutes will eventually be posted here.

Afternoon Workshop

I don’t know if I’ll actually listen to the whole thing. As far as P&Z appointments go:,

– Travis Kelsey kept his seat. Kelsey is one of the most development-averse members of P&Z.
– Gabi Moore did not. She is both progressive plus a realtor, meaning she is development-happier than even your friendly local marxist blogger.
– Two new appointees are David Case and Matthew Mendoza. I don’t know anything about either one of them, but I assume they’re more on the Kelsey side of things than the Moore side.

The upshot is that Council is trending NIMBY, unfortunately.

Council Meeting:

Hour 1

In which we have many citizens who speak about how much they love their pets.

Hours 2-3

In which we have a bunch of zoning cases. Let’s talk about the peculiar case of the extra little house proposed for Lockhart street, shall we?

Hour 4

The anticlimactic non-resolution to the Pick-a-Pet Problem.

Hour 5

Edwards Acquifer agreement sails through. There’s some problem with proposed fences, to be discussed at a future meeting.

One final note: Mayor Hughson declared it to be Bert Lumbreras day, in honor of his retirement. Holy hell, does LMC not like that guy. She did not mince words.
