Ooof, a six+ hour meeting. Those poor shmucks – no one is at their finest when it becomes an endurance session.
Citizen Comment: several people spoke on Item 23, about changing the supermajority required by Council to overturn P&Z. I have opinions on this, unsurprisingly.
So much discussion on the Lobbyist ordinance. I found this incredibly difficult to write up, so I coped by making it absurdly long.
Hour 4
Nothing too in-depth.
- The proposed Sportsplex site, by the railroad tracks on Centerpoint, will be apartments instead.
- Speed cushions (but not speed humps!) are coming to Franklin Street.
- San Marcos has a lawyer to argue against Ryan Hartmann, who got fired from the PD after a long campaign by the surviving spouse of the person he killed while driving, along with Mano Amiga.
In which council debates whether it regrets letting P&Z run on a longer leash.
And that’s a wrap! Find city council video here, agenda packet and minutes here.
