Mr. Hirst reported that all neighbors were notified prior to the Planning Commission hearing, where the item received no negative feedback and was passed as part of the Consent Calendar. Mayor Thome closed the public hearing. Councilmember Narum asked if moving forward presented any legal risk to the city. Mr. Lowell said "no." He explained that the failure to send a mailed notice is generally not cause to set aside a matter and that the item was placed on the Agenda, which was properly posted and published. He advised that this is really more of a political policy question for the Council to consider. MOTION: It was m/s by Pentin/Thorne to waive first reading and introduce Ordinance No. 2105 approving a Development Agreement with Charels, Scott & Ian Austin to vest the development approvals of the Austin project (PUD-58 and Tentative Tract 7813) consisting of eight (8) single-family residential lots and 22 acres of permanent open space at 3459 Old Foothill Road for a ten-year period from 2014 to 2024 with a five-year option. Additional direction was given to staff regarding issuing and confirming receipt of a public notice of the Ordinances second reading. In addition, the item will be placed on the regular agenda. Motion carried by the following vote: AYES: Councilmembers Cook-Kallio, Narum, Pentin, Mayor Thorne NOES: Councilmember Brown ABSENT: Councilmember Cook-Kallio 22. 2014 State Legislative Initiatives Maria Ojeda, Assistant to the City Manager, presented a brief overview of the 2014 State Legislative Summary and recommendations, as developed by the Council's Legislative Subcommittee. Bills to Support • AB 1147 — Relates to massage therapy; returns land use, zoning and business regulation authority to local governments. • SB 1262 — Relates to medical marijuana; returns the primary responsibility for regulation of dispensaries to local governments. • SB 33— Relates to post-redevelopment agency options for infrastructure financing districts. Bills to Oppose • AB 2188— Relates to solar energy permits; requires the approval of a 10 kilowatt or less project to be expedited and subject to only inspection. The bill seems somewhat incomplete in terms of defining "timely" and is unvetted with respects to the protection of local control. • AB 2052 — Relates to Workers' Compensation; expands benefits for all peace officer classifications, which may include a broader group of employees than currently have benefits in place through the state. • AB 2378 — Relates to Workers' Compensation; extends temporary disability benefits by one year at two-thirds salary which results in increased costs to local government. Ms. Ojeda stated that the Legislature has adjourned for Summer Recess and will reconvene on August 4, 2014. The last day to meet and report on any bill is August 15, 2014. Staff will continue to monitor City Council Minutes Page 15 of 16 July 15, 2014
