The City Council convened on November 12, 2025, following a land acknowledgement and a moment of silence. The Council adopted the Consent Agenda unanimously and proceeded through Public Comments, where residents addressed the Tide Flat Sub-area Plan (Ordinance 29075), the EMS Property Tax Levy, and the Street Initiative. Regular agenda items, including resolutions regarding street vacation fees, vendor contracts, and labor agreements, were reviewed, with several items postponed for staff presentation before final voting. The meeting concluded with reports on the city's Vision Zero recognition and committee updates.

Please join me in listening to the land of law land acknowledgement and flag salute led by Councilmember Bush now, followed by a moment of silence. We gratefully honor it, acknowledge that we rest on the traditional lands of the Puola people where they make their home and speak the Lashutsi language. Please stand for the flag salute and remain standing for a moment of silence. Are there any modifications to the agenda? Seeing none, we'll move on to the consent agenda. I move to adopt the consent agenda, including resolution number 41792. Second. Are there any council questions or comments? All right, seeing none, all those in favor of adopting the consent agenda, please signify by saying aye. Aye. All those opposed. Consent agenda is declared adopted. There are no proclamations, uh recognitions, or presentations this afternoon. Um now we're gonna move on to public comment. On tonight's agenda, there is one opportunity for people to comment. As a reminder, community reform was removed from the agenda by the council motion at last week's study session. The next regular community form is scheduled on December 9th, 2025. Under public comment, you can speak about motions, resolutions, or ordinances on tonight's agenda. This form is intended to give speakers the opportunity to share their viewpoints and feedback with the city council to aid in our decision making, and it is not meant to be a back and forth dialogue. Your remarks should be directed to the city council and not at individual staff members. If you wish to speak under the public comment period, please press the raise your hand button near the bottom of your Zoom window or star nine on your phone now, so we can see the number of people wishing to testify this afternoon. If you're speaking in person, please sign up at the back of the room if you have not done so already. Your name or the last four digits of your phone number will be called out when it is your turn to speak. Clerk, will you please read? This is a time set aside for public comment. Speakers are asked to identify the specific legislation they wish to address. All right, I would like to remind everyone to please keep your comments respectful, relevant, focused, and on topic. We strive to provide a comment period where people can feel respected while sharing a wide variety of viewpoints and acknowledge that we may hear comments that conflict with our values. To ensure all speakers can express their first amendment constitutional rights, we ask that you refrain from clapping, cheering, booing, or otherwise being disruptive. You will have 90 seconds to make your remarks. Please be mindful of the time frame. As always, you are not required to use all of your time to make your point.
