[3. Public Comment]

SO. BUT PLEASE, PLEASE BE MINDFUL THAT THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE WHO DO WANT TO ALSO GIVE PUBLIC COMMENT. IF YOU WOULDN'T MIND, JUST COME TO THE PODIUM AND WE'LL MAKE SURE THE THE MIC IS ON AND. COUNCIL WILL ACTUALLY NOT RESPOND BACK TO YOUR COMMENT DURING PUBLIC COMMENT BECAUSE IT'S NOT A LISTED ITEM ON THE AGENDA. BUT WE DO HAVE ALL OF OUR DEPARTMENT DIRECTORS IN THE ROOM. AND SO IF THERE IS SOMETHING THAT YOU WOULD LIKE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED, WE DO HAVE OUR DIRECTORS IN THE ROOM TO MANAGE TO GET YOU TO EXCHANGE CONTACT INFORMATION. AND WHEN YOU COME TO THE PODIUM, IF YOU WOULDN'T MIND JUST STATING YOUR NAME AND WHETHER OR NOT YOU'RE RESIDENT IN IDAHO FALLS, YOU DON'T NEED TO GIVE YOUR ADDRESS, JUST DECLARE YOUR RESIDENCY AND IT IS NOW OPEN. GOOD EVENING AND THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME A CHANCE TO TALK. MY NAME IS TERRY IRELAND AND I'M A BUSINESS OWNER IN DOWNTOWN IDAHO FALLS. I'M A RESIDENT OF IDAHO FALLS AND A REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DOWNTOWN MERCHANTS ASSOCIATION. I WANT TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE PROPOSED ALCOHOL REFORM ORDINANCE THAT WAS MENTIONED IN THE WORK COUNCIL OR THE WORK SESSION ON MONDAY. IN MY VERY UNPROFESSIONAL AND LEGAL OPINION, I THINK THAT THE ORDINANCE, AS IT'S WRITTEN RAISES TOO MANY QUESTIONS, LEAVES TOO MUCH GROUND UNCOVERED. IT'S TOO VAGUE. AND IT SHOWS THAT MAYBE THE TOPIC WAS NOT VERY WELL RESEARCHED AND THAT IT MAY CONFLICT WITH HIGHER LEVEL ALCOHOL LAWS THAT EXIST IN THE STATE. AND ONE OF THE HARDSHIPS THAT MIGHT BRING UPON A LOCAL PUB, FOR EXAMPLE, SAY, MARCELLUS, THEY HAVE A BIG WINE SALE EVERY YEAR. AND THOSE HORRORS ARE ALL VOLUNTEERS. A LOT OF THEM ARE THE VENDORS, VOLUNTEERS THAT ARE FROM OUT OF STATE. AND SO TO GET ALL OF THOSE VOLUNTEERS TRAINED FOR A ONE DAY EVENT FOR ONE YEAR, ACCORDING TO THE WAY THIS ORDINANCE IS WRITTEN, WOULD BE AN INCREDIBLE, UNDUE BURDEN ON OUR SELLERS. THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME TO SPEAK. THANK YOU, MISS IRELAND. PLEASE. OWNER, PRESIDENT OF THE MERCHANTS ASSOCIATION. I ALSO WANT TO SPEAK ABOUT THE NEW SERVER TRAINING ORDINANCE RIGHT HERE IN MY HAND. JUST TO SHOW YOU GUYS. I HAVE A FOLDER FULL OF TRAINING CERTIFICATES THAT ALL OF MY BARTENDERS HAVE TAKEN OVER THE LAST FIVE YEARS. MY PROBLEM IS NOT WITH THE MANDATORY TRAINING FOR BARTENDERS. ALL IT IS IS A COMPANY POLICY OF MINE THAT ALL OF MY EMPLOYEES GO THROUGH THAT TRAINING, AS WELL AS TWO OF THE BARS THAT I'VE SPOKEN WITH THAT ALSO HAVE THAT SAME MANDATE. MY PROBLEM WITH THE ORDINANCE IS THE WAY THAT IT'S WRITTEN. IT IS IT GIVES UNCHECKED EXECUTIVE POWER TO PICK AND CHOOSE CURRICULUM TO THE CHIEF OF POLICE IN ORDER TO DECIDE WHO AND WHAT TRAINING PROGRAMS WORK.

IT'S ABSOLUTELY. THE MOST DANGEROUS ASPECT OF THIS ORDINANCE IS IT GIVES IT GIVES A CONCENTRATION OF POWER TO THE CHIEF OF POLICE TO DETERMINE WHAT TRAINING IS VALID WITHOUT LEGISLATIVE OVERSIGHT OR OBJECTIVE CRITERIA. THE STATUTE. SECTION 4224A SECTION TWO,

[00:05:02]

WE ARE THEN FACED WITH THE BURDEN OF PAYING ANOTHER THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN ORDER TO TRAIN ON A PROGRAM THAT IS APPROVED. IF THAT CHIEF OF POLICE LEAVES AND ANOTHER ONE COMES IN A MONTH LATER, IT SAYS, I DON'T LIKE THAT PROGRAM. I LIKE THIS ONE. WE'RE THEN BURDENING THE COST AGAIN TO DO THIS AGAIN, CRIMINALIZING SUBJECTIVE JUDGMENT. ALL OF THE TRAININGS ARE SUBJECTIVE. THEY'RE VERY CLEAR THAT IT IS A SUBJECTIVE ON WHAT AN INTOXICATED PERSON LOOKS LIKE. THESE TRAINING PROGRAMS CAN BE DANGEROUS AND THEY ALL VARY EVERY SINGLE ONE. SO BY NOT HAVING A CLEAR, DEFINED CRITERIA OF WHAT TRAINING PROGRAMS THERE ARE AND HAVING THAT AS A HARD STOP, THERE'S NO WAY TO ENFORCE THAT. THE STATUTE SECTION 4-224. SECTION B, SECTION FIVE, REQUIRES SERVERS TO SHOW PROOF OF CURRENT CERTIFICATION UPON REQUEST OF ANY LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER. LAW ENFORCEMENT HAS PROVEN TIME AND TIME AGAIN IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA THAT THEY ARE WILLING TO COME IN AT MIDNIGHT, 1:00 IN THE MORNING WHEN WE ARE ALL TRYING TO MAKE A LIVING AND DO OUR BEST TO SERVE, TO STOP OUR OPERATIONS, CLOSE OUR DOORS, REFUSE TO LET PATRONS OUT, TURN LIGHTS ON AND DO SPOT CHECKS, WHICH IS TOTALLY WITHIN THEIR RIGHTS. I COMPLETELY AGREE THAT IS WHAT WE SIGNED UP FOR BEING A BAR. HOWEVER, ALLOWING THAT TO HAPPEN MULTIPLE TIMES A NIGHT BY MULTIPLE OFFICERS, IT DOESN'T DEFINE IF THEY'RE ON DUTY, OFF DUTY IF THEY HAVE THE AUTHORITY. IF THEY DON'T, THEY COULD SEND TEN COPS IN A NIGHT AND DO IT EVERY HOUR ON THE HOUR JUST TO PROVE A POINT.

THESE LAWS ARE DANGEROUS BECAUSE THEY GIVE THE POLICE DEPARTMENT THE ABILITY TO PICK AND CHOOSE WHO THEY ENFORCE ON. IN FACT, IN THE WORKSHOP THE OTHER DAY, THEY FLAT OUT STATED IT WOULD BE A SUBJECTIVE ENFORCEMENT AND THEY WOULD PICK AND CHOOSE WHO THEY DID AND DID NOT CHECK, AND WHO THEY DID NOT DID AND DID NOT ENFORCE THAT UPON. THIS GIVES SCOPE CREEP AND EXCUSE ME, SCOPE CREEP AND AN ECONOMIC BURDEN ON THE ON THE BUSINESS'S THE SCOPE CREEP, THE SCOPE OF THIS LAW. AND THIS ORDINANCE IS OUT OF CONTROL. IT'S. IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT THEY SHOULD EVEN BE ALLOWED TO ENTERTAIN AS IS WRITTEN. OKAY. IT IS A PERPETUAL TAX ON THE ON THE BUSINESSES. LIKE I SAID, THE, THE INITIAL BURDEN OF GOING TO THE TRAINING PROGRAM IS ONE THING. HOWEVER, BEING ABLE TO CHOOSE THESE PROGRAMS AND PICK AND CHANGE THEM IS, IS NOT, IS NOT SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE ALLOWED. THESE SHOW ME YOUR PAPERS MENTALITY IS WHAT WE'RE GETTING INTO WITH THIS ORDINANCE. ANY OFFICER AT ANY TIME CAN WALK IN AND JUST SAY, SHOW ME YOUR PAPERS TIME AND TIME AGAIN THROUGHOUT HISTORY THAT WE'VE SHOWN THROUGH ANY COUNTRY, INCLUDING OUR OWN, THAT SHOW, SHOW ME YOUR PAPERS MENTALITY IS DANGEROUS. IT'S, YOU KNOW, THE THE STATUTE AS WRITTEN SAYS, OKAY, WELL, LET ME JUST BACK UP A LITTLE BIT. SO LET'S SAY I GO OUT OF TOWN AND I'M OUT ON VACATION WITH MY WIFE AND AN OFFICER STOPS AND SAYS, SHOW ME YOUR CERTIFICATES. AND I HAVE THEM IN MY OFFICE. AND THE BARTENDER DOESN'T HAVE THE CODE OF THE OFFICE. I'M GETTING A MISDEMEANOR BECAUSE I CAN'T PRODUCE MY PAPERS RIGHT THERE. THE ORDINANCE DOES STATE THAT IT HAS TO BE ON DEMAND AT THAT MOMENT. THAT IS DANGEROUS. THAT IS SETTING US UP FOR FAILURE AS BUSINESS OWNERS. OKAY. THE THIS ALSO LEADS TO THE POLICE AS THE MINISTER OF TRUTH, A MILITANT GOVERNMENT IS ONE THAT STRICTLY CONTROLS INFORMATION AND DICTATES WHAT CITIZENS MUST THINK OR KNOW. THIS ORDINANCE GRANTS THE POLICE DEPARTMENT EXACTLY THAT POWER BY GIVING IT ALL INTO THE HANDS OF THE CHIEF OF POLICE. NOW, THEY DID STATE IN THEIR WORKSHOP THAT THE CHIEF OF POLICE IN BOISE HAS THE ABILITY TO DO THAT, AND THAT IS ALSO INCORRECT. THE CITY CLERK AND THE POLICE DEPARTMENT BOTH WORK HAND IN HAND. WITH THAT, THE CITY CLERK PULLS THE PROGRAMS. THE CHIEF OF POLICE APPROVES THEM. ACCORDING TO THIS ORDINANCE, THE WAY IT'S WRITTEN MEANS THAT THE CHIEF OF POLICE HAS COMPLETE POWER OVER ALL OF IT. OKAY. THAT IS GIVING ONE PERSON THE ABILITY TO ESSENTIALLY SHUT DOWN OR KEEP OUR BUSINESSES RUNNING AS THEY SEE FIT. OKAY.

ALL RIGHT. THIS IS ALSO CRIMINALIZING THE WORKFORCE. IF I HAVE A BARTENDER WHO'S BRAND NEW, NEVER HAD AN INVOLVEMENT WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT, WHETHER THEY HAVE THEIR TRAINING CERTIFICATE OR NOT, IF A POLICE OFFICER WALKS IN AND SAYS, HEY, THERE'S YOU AND THREE OTHER GUYS HERE, I NEED TO SEE YOUR CERTIFICATES AND ALL OF THEM KIND OF PANIC. THAT'S CRIMINALIZING A KID THAT COULD CRIMINALIZE A 20 YEAR OLD KID MISDEMEANOR RIGHT OFF THE BAT FOR SOMETHING THAT THEY'RE LIKE, I DON'T KNOW WHERE THESE ARE KEPT. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.

THEY'RE NOT GETTING ANY HELP. WE'RE BUSY. IT'S IT'S PUTTING AN UNDUE CRIMINAL CHARGE ON, ON A YOUNG ADULT IN THE BEGINNING OF THEIR LIFE. TRYING TO GET THROUGH THIS AS FAST AS POSSIBLE. SORRY. THEY ALSO SAID THAT THEY MERIT THE BOISE ORDINANCE AND THAT IS ALSO INCORRECT. I PULLED SOME DATA AND SOME FEATURES THAT I HAVE AVAILABLE. I WON'T HAND THEM

[00:10:01]

IDAHO FALLS, AND EVERY SINGLE PERSON IN THIS ROOM CAN ATTEST TO WHAT HAPPENS DURING BEER FEST LIVE AFTER FIVE AND ANY OTHER CHARITABLE EVENT WHERE ALCOHOL IS SERVED, THEY ALL GET DUMPED DOWNTOWN. WE ALL HAVE TO DEAL WITH THEM, AND WE ALL GET PUNISHED BY THE POLICE FOR PEOPLE BEING OVERLY INTOXICATED IN THE STREETS. I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MANY TIMES IT BEER FEST.

I WALK TO WORK WHERE WE OPEN AT 5:00 IN THE AFTERNOON AND THERE IS SOMEBODY PASSED OUT IN FRONT OF MY BUILDING. SO BY GIVING THESE CHARITABLE EXEMPTIONS, YOU'RE BASICALLY SAYING YOU CAN DO IT, BUT YOU CAN'T, AND THAT IS UNFAIR AND UNJUST TO EVERYBODY. THE BOISE LICENSE ALSO SAYS THAT FOR CLUB LICENSING RULES, ID SUCH AS HIGH VOLUME NIGHTCLUBS AND THINGS LIKE THAT, THEY ONLY NEED TO SEE THE CERTIFICATION OF ONE PERSON IN THE BUILDING AT A TIME. IDAHO FALLS DOES NOT STATE THAT. SO I HAVE 23 EMPLOYEES WORKING AT ANY GIVEN TIME. IF YOU WANT TO COME IN ON A SATURDAY NIGHT AND SHUT ME DOWN AT 1:00 IN THE MORNING AND GO THROUGH 23 CERTIFICATES, THAT IS A MASSIVE ABUSE OF POWER AND A MASSIVE HINDRANCE TO MY BUSINESS. I'VE ALSO GONE THROUGH THE ORDINANCE AND PULLED THE STATISTICS FROM THE THE ALLEGED INCIDENTS THAT HAVE HAPPENED SINCE THAT ORDINANCE WENT INTO EFFECT IN BOISE.

THERE'S BEEN ABSOLUTELY NO CHANGE IN THE AMOUNT OF ARRESTS DOWNTOWN OR DUIS DOWNTOWN, EXCEPT FOR A THREE YEAR PERIOD DURING COVID. THAT IS THE ONLY TIME THAT THOSE THOSE VIOLATIONS HAVE COME DOWN. OKAY. BOISE HAS ALSO THROUGHOUT THE STATISTICS, WHICH THEY WOULDN'T GIVE ME NUMBERS, BUT THEY DID GIVE ME SOME LEEWAY THAT THIS IS ABSOLUTELY BEING USED TO SUSPEND LIQUOR LICENSES. THEY'RE WALKING IN, THEY'RE ASKING FOR CERTIFICATES.

THEY'RE NOT GETTING THEM. SO THEY'RE SHUTTING THEM DOWN FOR 3 TO 10 DAYS FOR COMPLIANCE REASONS. OKAY. SO WHILE I LOVE THE HEART OF THE ORDINANCE, THE WAY IT'S WRITTEN IS VERY SCARY FOR ME, ESPECIALLY WHERE EVERYBODY IN HERE KNOWS I'VE BEEN IN THE HEADLINES LATELY FOR THE THINGS THAT MY CUSTOMERS DO. MY BIGGEST ISSUE WITH THE BAR INDUSTRY IS THAT I'M HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE ACTIONS OF ADULTS THAT HAVE PROVEN THAT THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO DRINK. I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MANY TIMES I'VE BEEN BLAMED FOR SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS OUT IN THE STREET. I'VE HAD MEETINGS WITH THE CHIEF OF POLICE. A BUNCH OF US DOWNTOWN BAR OWNERS HAVE GONE TO THE TO THE POLICE CHIEF AND SAID, WHAT CAN WE DO? HOW CAN YOU HELP US? WE SAT IN THIS COUNCIL ROOM AND BEGGED FOR POLICE OFFICERS DOWNTOWN ON THE WEEKENDS, AND INSTEAD OF GETTING OFFICERS TO COME DOWN AND HELP, WE GET OFFICERS THAT COME IN AND HARASS OUR STAFF, SHUT OUR BUSINESS DOWN AND ASKED US QUESTIONS AND BLAME US FOR PROBLEMS THAT AREN'T OUR FAULT. ANY PERSON OVER THE AGE OF 21, THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAS SAID, CAN DRINK. I DON'T SEE WHY LOCAL POLICE DEPARTMENT FEELS THE NEED TO TELL US THAT WE HAVE TO BE ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS. I GET THE OVERSERVING AND I GET THE STATUTES ACCORDING TO THE ISP TRAINING AND WHAT THEY WANT US TO DO. HOWEVER, IF AN EMPLOYEE HAS TWO BEERS AND GOES OUT IN THE STREET AND BEATS SOMEBODY UP, I DON'T SEE HOW I'M HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT. BUT THAT IS WHAT IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW. WE ARE ALL IN THAT WORKSHOP. THE OTHER DAY WHEN WHEN SERGEANT NORMAN STATED THAT ISP IN BONNEVILLE COUNTY WEREN'T DOING THEIR JOBS WELL ENOUGH, SO THEY HAD TO HAVE AN ORDINANCE THAT SAYS THAT I'VE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH MY IDAHO STATE POLICE REPRESENTATIVE CONTROL BOARD MORE THAN I HAVE IDAHO FALLS POLICE ON THIS.

OKAY, JUST BECAUSE WE'RE NOT BROADCASTING THAT WE'RE IN CONTACT WITH THEM DOES NOT MEAN THEY'RE NOT DOING THEIR JOBS, DOESN'T MEAN THEY'RE NOT HELPING US. I CAN CALL THEM ANY TIME, ANY DAY. AND I KNOW I WILL GET AN ANSWER FROM THEM. SO FOR IT TO COME IN AND SAY ISP ISN'T DOING THEIR JOB, SO WE HAVE TO IS INACCURATE. AND THAT'S ALL. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MISTER DIAL. MY NAME IS ANDRE, OWNER OPERATOR. I'M ALSO A RESIDENT OF WALL STREET, BY THE WAY, OWNER OPERATOR OF A OF A RESTAURANT DOWNTOWN. I DON'T KNOW IF THIS MAY FALL UNDER YOUR UMBRELLA, BUT I REALLY WANTED TO GO AHEAD AND KIND OF APPLAUD A SHERIFF FOR A LITTLE THING HE HAD GOING ON ON SOCIAL MEDIA IN WHICH HE GOT, I BELIEVE, A LOT OF NEGATIVITY. I BELIEVE THEY JUST READ THE HEADLINES ON THAT AND NEVER ACTUALLY SEEN THE INTERVIEW.

BUT, YOU KNOW, I LOVED EVERY WORD HE SAID. AND I KNOW THAT MIGHT KIND OF COME UNDER THE COUNTY THINGY, RIGHT? BUT I ALSO WANTED TO GO AHEAD AND TOUCH BASE REGARDING THE

[00:15:01]

BUT WE DON'T. AT LEAST ON MY BEHALF. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT HAPPENED. GO AHEAD. SPARK THINGS UP LIKE A WILDFIRE. I AM WORRIED IN THE TIME IN WHICH THIS ORDINANCE WANTS TO GO AHEAD AND BE ENFORCED BY WHICH IS JUNE 1ST. THIS IS WHAT, MAYBE ABOUT 60 DAYS, IF I'M CORRECT OR PRETTY CLOSE. NO DISRESPECT, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO GO AHEAD AND KNOW WHO EXACTLY JUMPED ON THIS AND THREW THESE DATES. YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST LOGICAL, COMMON SENSE, AT LEAST AN HOUR AND MAYBE IT MIGHT BE A LITTLE DIFFERENT ON ON THE LAW ENFORCEMENT. I WONDER IF COMMUNITIES OR BUSINESSES WERE EVEN CONSIDERED OR HAD A SAY IN SOME OF THIS ORDINANCE, IN THIS ORDINANCE. I'M REALLY WORRIED ABOUT OVERALL ECONOMY, HOW IT IS. I PERSONALLY NEED TO GO AHEAD AND WORRY ABOUT MY FOOD COSTS, MY LABOR, MY TURNOVER OF STAFF. I FEEL WHOMEVER IS BRINGING THIS ORDINANCE ORDINANCE TO ENFORCE THIS ORDINANCE, I FEEL THAT POINT IN WHICH THEY WANT TO GO AHEAD AND NICKEL AND DIME US MORE. WE'RE WE'RE WE'RE WE'RE WE'RE LITERALLY IN THE GROUNDS OF TRYING TO GO AHEAD AND MAKE A PENNY FOR OUR FAMILY, FOR OUR STAFF, FOR OUR EMPLOYEES. AND, AND I BRING THIS UP THE NICKEL AND DIMING BECAUSE WHOMEVER TAKES CONTROL OF THIS ORDINANCE OR FORCES THIS ORDINANCE, I MEAN, THEY'RE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND WANT TO MAYBE CHARGE FOR THE CLASSES, FOR TRAINING, FOR EXAMS, FOR CERTIFICATIONS, AND FOR CERTIFICATIONS. WHAT'S THAT THREE YEARS OR YEAR OR HOWEVER LENGTH OF TIME THESE CERTIFICATIONS WILL BE GOOD FOR? AND ANOTHER THING IS, WHY WOULD NON-PROFITS, IF I READ THAT ORDINANCE CORRECT, WHY WOULD NONPROFIT NON-PROFITS BE ANY DIFFERENT THAN THAN BUSINESSES OR BARS IN THE COMMUNITY? SO. I THINK ON MY BEHALF. I WOULD STRONGLY SUGGEST FOR YOU TO GO AHEAD AND GET A FEW FROM THE BUSINESS SIDE. SO IF SOMETHING DOES COME AROUND, WE CAN COLLABORATE TOGETHER AND WE COULD GO AHEAD AND, AND MAKE THINGS HAPPEN ACCORDINGLY.

BEING BOTH PARTIES, LAW ENFORCEMENT AND BUSINESSES TOGETHER, THAT'S ALL I HAVE.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION. THANKS, MATT JACOBSON AND CLINTON COUNTY, BUT OBVIOUSLY A BUNCH OF BUSINESSES IN TOWN. AND SO I GUESS I'LL KEEP ON THE SAME THING AS EVERYBODY ELSE.

TALK ABOUT THE LIQUOR ORDINANCE. HATE TO BREAK STRIDE, BUT AND I'LL ECHO WHAT'S BEEN SAID, THAT OVERALL, HAVING SERVER TRAINING IS GOOD. NO ONE'S ARGUING THAT. BUT I THINK IT'S HOW IT'S WRITTEN THAT CREATES A CONCERN. THERE'S A LOT OF GREATNESS IN THERE. AND WHEN IT COMES TO LAW AND COMING TO ORDINANCE, HAVING SPECIFICS IS WHAT'S KEY. AND THE OTHER THING THAT ADDED CONCERN TO ME WAS WHEN I FIRST READ IT, I WENT DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE OF HOW THIS IS IMPACTING WHEN WE OVERSERVE. AND THEN WHEN I LISTENED TO THE WORK SESSIONS, HOW EVERYBODY ELSE JUMPED ON IT. WELL, ALL OF A SUDDEN WE HAVE TWO INFRINGEMENTS. WE MIGHT HAVE THE LIQUOR LICENSE AND IT'S GOING TO BE MISDEMEANOR. AND IT'S LIKE, WAIT A MINUTE, I REREAD IT AGAIN TODAY BEFORE I CAME IN, AND WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IS A PAPERWORK CERTIFICATE, AND THAT'S WHAT THIS ORDINANCE IS ABOUT. AND WHEN YOU REALLY STEP BACK FROM THAT AND YOU HAVE AN ORDINANCE THAT SAYS IT MIGHT BE, IT WORKS WRONG, I'M GETTING A MISDEMEANOR. THAT'S CONCERNING. AND THEN BECAUSE EVERYBODY ELSE HAS JUMPED ONTO IT, YOU CAN HEAR FROM EVERYBODY ELSE'S CONCERNS. PLUS THE WAY THE WORK SESSION WITH THAT, IT WAS EASILY BLEEDING INTO WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU OVERSERVE SHOWS THAT THIS IS MAYBE STEP ONE OF STEP TWO OF GOING TO WHAT THE NEXT THING IS. AND THE OTHER QUESTION I KNOW TONY BROUGHT IT UP IS WHAT IS THE CATALYST FOR THIS? DO WE HAVE ANY METRICS FOR REPORTS THAT

[00:20:05]

THE OTHER PART IS IT GOT BROUGHT UP BEFORE IS ANY OFFICER CAN ASK FOR. SO AN OFF DUTY RESOURCE OFFICER FROM THE SCHOOL WHO HAPPENS TO BE SITTING IN THE CAR CAN ALL OF A SUDDEN JUST SAY, HEY, I WANT TO SEE YOUR CERTIFICATE. I CAN GET STOPPED AT 6:00 ON A FRIDAY NIGHT AND SAVED BY. AND YOU GUYS NEED TO SET UP MY ENTIRE SERVICE BECAUSE SOMEBODY WANTS EACH CERTIFICATE. SHOULDN'T IT BE MORE OF, HEY, LET'S GO TO MANAGEMENT, LET'S COME IN AND DO A SPOT CHECK AND SAY, HEY, I WANT TO SEE YOUR PAYROLL, WHO IS WORKING LAST NIGHT AND LET'S REVIEW ALL THEIR CERTIFICATES. HAVE SOMETHING THAT'S MORE REASONABLE AND NOT AN UNDUE BURDEN ON THE BUSINESS AND A DISRUPTION TO THE BUSINESS, TO THE PATRONS AND TO THE PUBLIC.

JUST BECAUSE SOMEBODY WANTS TO SEE A CERTIFICATE. I KNOW DURING THE WORK SESSION IT GOT BROUGHT UP SAYING THAT IF SOMEBODY ASKED FOR THE CERTIFICATE, IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE SHOWN IMMEDIATELY. AND AGAIN, THAT'S NOT HOW THE LAW IS WRITTEN. ORDINANCES, RIGHT.

IT'S WRITTEN VERY VAGUELY. THAT COULD SHOW ME TOMORROW OR I WANT TO SEE IT TODAY, OR YOU'RE GETTING MISDEMEANOR. AND. AND IF THE LICENSEE, WE ALSO HAVE TO CARRY THEM ALL. WHY DOES IT ON THE BURDEN OF THE SERVER AT THE TIME TO MAKE SURE THEY HAVE THEIR RECORDS IN ORDER THERE, THEY'RE GOING TO MAKE A LIVING. WE HAVE TO RECORD AND KEEP ALL THE RECORDS. SO WHY AREN'T YOU COMING TO THE LICENSEE TO MAKE SURE YOUR SERVERS HAVE ALL OF THIS? AND AGAIN, LIKE I SAID AT THE VERY BEGINNING, SERVER TRAINING IS IMPORTANT. NO ONE'S DISAGREEING WITH THAT, BUT IT'S HOW IT'S WRITTEN. IT ADDS A LOT OF OPENNESS FOR INTERPRETATION FROM BOTH THE OFFICER AND ENFORCEMENT LICENSEE, THE SERVER. AND AGAIN, THIS IS JUST ABOUT PAPERWORK FOR TRAINING.

AND I THINK WE NEED TO BE VERY CLEAR AND SPECIFIC. THAT'S WHAT THIS IS ABOUT. AND THIS DOESN'T INFRINGE ON THE EXISTING LAWS THAT ARE ALREADY THERE WITHOUT OVERSTEPPING. THANK YOU. THANK

[00:25:07]

WHEN I FIRST READ THIS DOCUMENT, IT WAS LIKE, MY GOD, ISIS COMING TO TOWN. AND THEN I STARTED THINKING ABOUT NAZI GERMANY. SHOW ME YOUR PAPERS. WELL THAT'S OVERREACHING, DON'T GET ME WRONG. THE IDEA OF TRAINING IS WONDERFUL. FOR MOST OF US. IT'S NOT TOO HARD TO RECOGNIZE WHEN SOMEBODY HAS HAD TOO MUCH TO DRINK. I KNOW THERE ARE SOME REALLY CLEVER PEOPLE OUT THERE, BUT YOU KNOW, I'VE BEEN AROUND LONG ENOUGH. I CAN RECOGNIZE THAT MOST OF MY PEOPLE AT MARCELLA'S, THEY CAN RECOGNIZE IT TOO. AND THE 20 YEARS, TWO DECADES, GIVE OR TAKE, THAT I'VE OWNED MARCELLA'S. I CAN THINK OF TWO INCIDENTS. ONE IS AT 2:00 IN THE MORNING, SOMEBODY FROM SOMEWHERE IN A HOODIE DECIDED TO STEP INTO MY DOORWAY AND KICK IN THE GLASS DOOR. OKAY, THAT'S 800 BUCKS LATER, AND THE POLICE SHOWED UP BRIGHT AND EARLY THE NEXT MORNING AND LOOKED AROUND. THAT WAS NOTHING WAS TAKEN. THIS GUY WAS JUST HE HAD SOMETHING AGAINST MY GLASS DOOR. THAT'S ALL I CAN THINK. SECONDLY, MORE RECENTLY, SOME OF THE PEOPLE THAT WERE STANDING ON THE BRIDGE DOING DEMONSTRATIONS AND WHATNOT DECIDED TO COME IN. YOU KNOW, SEVEN, 8:00 AT NIGHT. AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY WERE THINKING. THEY'RE ACTUALLY FRIENDS OF MINE, BUT THEY ACTED UP REAL POORLY. AND OUR APPROACH WAS TO DRAG THEM BOTH OUT TO THE MIDDLE OF PARK AVENUE AND INVITE THEM TO GO HOME. AND THEN WE PROMPTLY CALLED IF POLICE, THEY SHOWED UP THREE MINUTES LATER, CALLED THESE PEOPLE WHO HAD GONE HOME AND BANNED THEM FROM OUR PLACE FOR A YEAR, WHICH I WAS JUST HAPPY WITH. BUT THESE ARE FRIENDS OF MINE THAT CAME IN AND MADE PARDON MY FRENCH OUT OF THEMSELVES. IT WAS EASILY RECOGNIZED THAT THEY HAD HAD TOO MUCH OF SOMETHING STANDING ON THE BRIDGE. SUNLIGHT, I DON'T KNOW WHAT. SO ANYWAY, I WILL CONCLUDE RIGHT THERE.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR. LARSEN. HI, I'M CHRISTINA THOMPSON. I OWN TWO BARS IN TOWN, AND I JUST WANT TO KIND OF GET ON WITH BEING ABOUT THINGS FOR EVERYONE. KEVIN, I'M TALKING ABOUT ALL THINGS. I 100% AGREE WITH THEM. I THINK IT'S A HUGE BURDEN ON THE BUSINESS OWNERS AND ALSO THE EMPLOYEES. AND I JUST WE ALREADY HAVE A FREE STATE TRAINING AND THERE'S ONE GOING ON TOMORROW. MOST ALL OF US HAVE SENT OUR PEOPLE THERE. I KNOW ALL OF MY EMPLOYEES TAKE IT ONCE A YEAR. AND I, I THINK IT'S, IT'S JUST A IT'S JUST A LOT EASIER TO DO. SO I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT AND I'M WITH THESE GUYS. THANK YOU. DID I GET LARS LARSON? WAS YOUR LAST NAME WILSON THOMPSON? I AS SOON AS I READ THAT, I WAS LIKE, WAIT, I SAID, TOM LARSEN AND BEN THOMPSON. THAT'S WHAT I GOT CONFUSED. THANK YOU. YEAH. OKAY.

THANK YOU. THOMPSON. THANK YOU, MISS THOMPSON. ANYONE ELSE WOULD LIKE TO GIVE, PLEASE?

[00:30:03]

I'VE HEARD ABOUT IT. AND SITTING HERE LISTENING TO SOME OF THESE PEOPLE TONIGHT AND COLLEAGUES, ONE THING OR ANOTHER, CITIZENS, AMERICANS. THIS IS KIND OF WEIRD THAT WE GOT TO BE DEEMED AGAIN TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR SOMEBODY WHO ISN'T BEING HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS. SEEMS THAT WAY. MAYBE I'M OFF BASE. ARE WE GOING TO GO AND ASK THE PEOPLE AT ALL THE CONVENIENCE STORES TO GET LICENSED FOR THEIR EMPLOYEES? ALL THE REST, NOT RESTAURANTS. WE'RE ALREADY DOING THAT. GROCERY STORES. AND IF THERE IS A TAX TO BE PAID FOR THE LICENSING AND THE CLASSES AND ALL THAT, WHAT A CASH COW. THINK ABOUT IT. HOW ABOUT GOING AFTER THE CELL PHONE MANUFACTURERS FOR THE FOLKS THAT ARE SITTING TWICE ON MY WAY HERE TONIGHT AT THE LIGHT WHEN IT TURNED GREEN TEXTING TIME. I KNOW WE HAVE AN ORDINANCE AGAINST THAT. I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY TICKETS BEEN WRITTEN FOR IT. JUST SAYING.

MAYBE WE NEED TO GO AFTER THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE, MAYBE NEED TO GET A LICENSE TO HAVE A CELL PHONE OR TO SELL CELL PHONES. I THINK IT'S JUST MORE OF THE SAME, NOT ENFORCING THE RULES THAT WE DO HAVE, NOT HOLDING PEOPLE ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS TO A GREAT DEGREE, TO WHICH THEY NO LONGER WANT TO BE A BONEHEAD. IT JUST DIDN'T PAY LAST TIME. AND INSTEAD TAPPED THE SHOULDER OF THE GUN OWNER WHO NEVER DID ANYTHING WRONG WITH HIS GUN. BUT WE'RE GOING TO TAKE HIM AWAY FROM ALL THE FOLKS THAT THAT DID DO THAT. WE'RE GOING TO TAKE WE'RE GOING TO TAKE AND LICENSE, MAKE IT HARDER FOR THE GUY TO EXERCISE HIS RIGHTS, OUR RIGHTS TO DO BUSINESS. WE GO THROUGH A MILLION EMPLOYEES. I JUST GOT DONE A MONTH AGO, SENDING OUT ALL OF OUR W-2S. AND I LOOKED AT MICHELLE AND I SAID, DID YOU THEM ALL OFF OR WAS IT, EXCUSE ME, DID YOU UPSET ALL THESE YOUNG INDIVIDUALS OR WAS IT JUST ME? WE GO THROUGH SO MANY PEOPLE, LIKE THE REST OF THE FOLKS IN HERE THAT HAVE AN ESTABLISHMENT THAT DON'T EVEN SHOW UP FOR THEIR FIRST DAY AT WORK, BUT IF THEY'RE NOT LICENSED, AND AGAIN, I HAVEN'T READ THE THE PROPOSED LAW ON THEIR FIRST DAY, THEY WERE GOING TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE, JUST LIKE YOU SHOULD BE. IF YOU HAVE A DRIVER'S LICENSE. THEY DON'T EVEN SHOW UP FOR THEIR FIRST DAY. MOST OF THEM ARE THERE ONLY A COUPLE DAYS, MOST OF THEM AFTER THAT. ARE THERE A MONTH OR LESS? IT'S LIKE SHAMELESS TALKING ABOUT WHAT A HUGE BURDEN. BUT I DO SEE THE CASH COW BENEFIT OF THIS. WE CAN GO AFTER CHEVROLET AND THE DEALERSHIPS AND SAYING, YOU'RE SELLING CORVETTES OUT THERE. THE SPEED LIMIT IS 25 GOING OVER THE BRIDGE, NOT 125. HOLD EVERYBODY ACCOUNTABLE. I THINK, YOU KNOW, OF COURSE I'M BEING FACETIOUS HERE. AND IT'S IT'S IT'S RIDICULOUS. I THINK THIS IS A BAD IDEA. I THINK WE OUGHT TO JUST TAKE AND ENFORCE THE LAWS AND RULES THAT WE HAVE RIGHT NOW. BEFORE WE GO ANY FURTHER AND SEE IF THAT REMEDIES ANY OF THE ISSUES. I DON'T KNOW OF ANYBODY THAT'S EVER GOTTEN OVER SERVICE TICKET IN IDAHO FALLS. AND I KNOW TOMORROW WHEN WE GO TO THE MEETING, WHICH I ALWAYS DO, JUST BECAUSE THEY'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT OVER SERVICE AND HOW YOU CAN BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE.

WELL, IF THERE'S OVER SERVICE GOING ON, ALBERTSONS IS JUST AS GUILTY AS THE FROSTY GATOR. I MEAN, I HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THEM. I KNOW I'M STARTING TO RAMBLE. SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. APPRECIATE YOU LISTENING TO ME. NEXT TIME YOU HAVE A MEETING I'LL COME UP AND SAY SOMETHING ELSE. THANK YOU. THANKS. PLEASE. THIS IS EXACTLY WHY WE HAVE PUBLIC COMMENT. SO WE DO APPRECIATE WE APPRECIATE YOUR COMMENTS. IT'S IT'S NOT IT'S NOT LANDING ON DEAF EARS.

SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE WHO WOULD LIKE TO GIVE PUBLIC COMMENT TONIGHT? OKAY. THANK YOU. NOW. I KNOW YOU PROBABLY DON'T WANT TO STICK AROUND FOR THE REST OF THE MEETING, SO WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE OFFENDED IF YOU YOU ARE MORE THAN WELCOME AND WE'D LOVE TO HAVE YOU HERE, BUT I, I HAVE BEEN IN THIS SITUATION MORE THAN ONCE, AND I KNOW THAT THIS IS REALLY WHAT YOU ARE, WHAT YOU WERE HERE FOR. YOU DO I NOT? YES, I. YES, THANK YOU. SEE YOU.

[00:35:11]

SECOND. BRADFORD I FREEMAN. YES. FRANCIS I DINGMAN. YES. LEE. YES. MOTION CARRIES. THANK YOU.

[5.A.1) Ordinance Amending Title 8, Chapter 11, Cemetery Regulations]

AND SO TODAY I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAD SOME OF THOSE QUESTIONS ANSWERED. BUT I ALSO INVITED OUR CEMETERY SEXTON, MR. SCOTT DAVIS HERE AS WELL. AND HE IS A 32 YEAR EMPLOYEE OF THE CITY OF IDAHO FALLS. WORK FOR PARKS AND REC HAS WORKED FOR THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT AND CAME BACK TO IDAHO FALLS OR TO PARKS AND REC AS OUR SOME YEARS AGO. SO HE WILL BE HERE.

I'LL INVITE HIM UP IN A FEW MINUTES TO KIND OF HELP TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT BURIALS. WHAT GOES INTO THAT? WHAT GOES INTO A FUNERAL SERVICE, AND ALSO SOME OF THE CONVERSATIONS THAT WE'VE HAD, OR I GUESS THAT HE'S HAD WITH OTHER CEMETERY SEXTONS IN THE AREA. SO SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE HAD THAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR, FORMATTING IS THE SAME AS IT WAS WHEN WE BROUGHT THIS FORTH OR FORWARD IN NOVEMBER. ARTIFICIAL WINTER DECORATIONS NEEDING TO BE REMOVED BY MARCH 1ST RATHER THAN APRIL 1ST IN. THIS AMENDMENT IS STILL OR IN THIS PROPOSED AMENDMENT IS STILL THE SAME AS IT WAS THE. THE ONE CHANGE THAT WE DID MAKE WAS WE HAVE SHORTENED THE RESTRICTION OVER MEMORIAL DAY TO FRIDAY FROM 8 A.M. TO MEMORIAL DAY AT 11:59 A.M. OR P M EXCUSE ME. SO THROUGH MEMORIAL DAY, THE ACTUAL MEMORIAL DAY HOLIDAY, IF YOU REMEMBER, WE WENT THROUGH NOON ON TUESDAY, WHICH WAS A BIG DIFFERENCE. BUT THAT WAS A CONCERN THAT IF PEOPLE NEEDED TO GET IN THAT MORNING AFTER, WOULD THAT BE WOULD WOULD THAT BE AVAILABLE OR BE AN OPTION TO BE AVAILABLE? SO AT THAT TIME, COUNCIL HAD ASKED SOME ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS AND INFORMATION TO JUSTIFY THAT MEMORIAL DAY RESTRICTION. AND I WANTED TO TOUCH ON SOME OF THOSE. FIRST THING YOU HAD ASKED WAS, WAS, IS THIS A BIG PROBLEM AND HOW MANY BURIALS DO WE ACTUALLY HAVE OVER MEMORIAL DAY? SO WE LOOKED OVER THE LAST

[00:40:01]

AND SO I DID A LOT OF RESEARCH. I TALKED WITH A LOT OF SECTIONS IN THE AREA AND IN THE BOISE AREA. AND THERE ARE SOME THAT DO HAVE SERVICES ON THAT FRIDAY. MOST OF THEM HAVE RESTRICTIONS.

SO THERE'S NOT ANY ON FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY. AND I KIND OF WANTED TO READ YOU SOMETHING.

AND THE REASON WHY WE WANT TO DO THIS, EACH YEAR WE APPROACH MEMORIAL DAY AND WE I WANT TO DO A SCHEDULING REQUEST THE WEEK BEFORE MEMORIAL DAY THROUGH THE WEEKEND. THE CEMETERY HAS EXPERIENCED A LARGE NUMBER OF VISITORS AND FUNERAL REQUESTS. PEOPLE COME TO PLACE FLOWERS ON A LOVED ONE'S GRAVE AND WANT TO SPEND TIME WITH THEIR LOVED ONES. AND THIS MAY BE A LITTLE DIFFICULT IF WE HAVE FUNERAL SERVICES THAT DAY. FOR THE PEOPLE WHO WANT PRIVACY FOR THE LOVED ONES AND FUNERAL SERVICES, THEY MAY NOT BE. WE DON'T WANT TO HAVE A SCHEDULED ON THAT DAY. AND WE HAD AN ISSUE LAST YEAR WHERE SOME SENIOR CITIZENS CAME OVER FROM UTAH. THEY WANTED TO PLAY SOME FLOWERS ON SOME GRAVES. THEY COULDN'T BECAUSE WE HAD A SERVICE AND THEY'RE ALREADY I DON'T KNOW IF YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN TO BUILDING OR ROSE HILL.

THERE ARE A MILLION CARS AND JUST HAD A SERVICE THERE. WE COULDN'T GET OUR EQUIPMENT IN AND OUT OF THERE. THERE'S JUST TOO MANY PEOPLE. SO THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS WE'RE ASKING.

AND I'M MORE ASKING FOR SAFETY REASONS BECAUSE WE HAUL HEAVY EQUIPMENT AROUND BACKHOES, T-REX, AND WE DON'T WANT TO HIT CARS THERE ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE ROADS ARE VERY SMALL.

SO FOR US, IT'S MORE OF A SAFETY CONCERN AND WE WANT EVERYBODY THERE TO BE SAFE AND NOTHING HAPPEN. BUT PEOPLE TRY TO GET A JUMP ON THE WEEKEND, SO THEY START COMING IN AROUND WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY, FRIDAY AND THEN MONDAY. SO THAT'S THE MAJOR REASON THAT WE WANT TO DO IT. AND THAT'S WHAT THAT PICTURE SHOWS HOW BIG IT IS. AND THESE TWO SENIOR CITIZEN, CITIZEN LADIES COULD NOT GET IN THERE TO PLACE FLOWERS ON THE GRAVES. THEY WERE VERY UPSET.

THEY WENT OVER. WE DIDN'T GET TO TALK TO THEM, BUT THEY WENT OVER TO OUR ADMIN AND TALKED TO HOLLY AND THEY LET HER OUT. SO THAT'S WHAT KIND OF STARTED IT. WE'VE ALWAYS KIND OF DEALT WITH THE ISSUE AND JUST THE BEST WE COULD, BUT I JUST WANT TO KIND OF GET AHEAD OF THIS. AND SO WE DON'T HAVE ANY ISSUES IN THE FUTURE. DO YOU GUYS HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS YOU'D LIKE TO ASK, MR. DAVIS? OKAY, OKAY. THANK YOU, MR. DAVIS, FOR BEING HERE TONIGHT AND FOR GIVING US THAT REPORT. I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT I DIDN'T KNOW SCOTTY HAD A LESSON. OH. IT WAS WEIRD CALLING HIM SCOTT DAVIS. I HAD A QUESTION WHETHER HE EVEN HAD.

WHETHER IT WAS THE RIGHT NAME. AS SCOTT HAD MENTIONED, THAT THAT PICTURE THAT I SENT OUT JUST KIND OF SHOWS WHAT A TYPICAL FUNERAL LOOKS LIKE. IT'S NOT JUST OVER YOUR ONE GRAVE THAT A FUNERAL HAPPENS, RIGHT? YOU HAVE CHAIRS SET UP, YOU HAVE A LARGE TENT, YOU HAVE THE, THE, THE INFRASTRUCTURE FOR LOWERING THE CASKETS DOWN. NOT ONLY THAT, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I FOUND OUT THROUGH THIS WAS THAT THE MORTUARIES ACTUALLY OR THE, THE MONUMENT COMPANIES WILL ACTUALLY COME IN. AND IF THEY CAN'T GET A BACKHOE OR THE, THE LARGE EQUIPMENT IN TO DIG THOSE HOLES OR TO HAVE THEIR SERVICE, THEY WILL ACTUALLY REMOVE THE HEADSTONES OF THOSE AROUND AND THEY ACTUALLY TAKE THOSE AWAY AND KEEP THOSE SAFE AND BRING THEM BACK. AND SO CAN YOU ONLY IMAGINE FLYING IN FROM SOMEWHERE AND YOU'RE GOING TO GO SEE YOUR GRANDMA'S GRAVE. AND NOT ONLY IS IT THERE'S A FUNERAL HAPPENING, YOU COULD BARELY GET THERE, BUT IT'S NOT EVEN THERE WHEN YOU GET THERE. AND I, I DO THINK THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE ARE THAT IS A SAFETY CONCERN, BUT IT'S ALSO MAKING SURE THAT WE ARE TRYING TO BE OFFER THE BEST CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE WE CAN IN A TOUGH TIME AND A TOUGH SITUATION FOR FOLKS VISITING GRAVES FROM PRIOR PAST LOVED ONES OR FRIENDS TO THOSE THAT ARE BEARING FAMILY AND FRIENDS AS WELL. AND WE WANT THAT ALL TO HAVE THE BEST EXPERIENCE POSSIBLE FROM OUR SIDE. HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. THANK YOU DEREK, FOR ANY QUESTIONS.

YES, I ASKED YOU THIS QUESTION ALREADY, BUT I'M GOING TO ASK IT IN FRONT OF EVERYBODY ELSE.

[5.F.2) Ordinance Amendment - Vehicle Sales on Public Sidewalks ]

THIS ONE IS A LITTLE BIT CONFUSING TO EXPLAIN, BUT I'M HOPING I CAN MAKE IT. I'M HOPING I CAN SIMPLIFY IT. SO WE HAVE TWO PARTS OF OUR CITY CODE THAT REFERENCE SALES ON PUBLIC SIDEWALKS. ONE IS IN OUR SPECIFIC USE OF PUBLIC SIDEWALKS CODE, THE OTHER IS IN OUR MOBILE FOOD AND ITINERANT MERCHANT SECTION OF OUR CODE. THE USE OF PUBLIC SIDEWALK PORTION OF THE CODE ALLOWS FOR SALES ON SIDEWALKS. THE MOBILE FOOD SECTION OF THE CODE SPECIFIES THAT ALL VEHICLES MUST STOP AT THE CURB AND NOT GO ONTO THE SIDEWALK. HOWEVER, THERE'S BEEN CONFUSION AS TO WHAT DEFINES A VEHICLE, SO WE'VE CLEANED UP OUR CODE TO SPECIFY MOTOR VEHICLES CANNOT GO ON THE SIDEWALK. IN OTHER WORDS, IF THERE IS SOMEONE WHO HAS A HOT DOG CART, THEY CAN HAVE THAT ON THE PUBLIC SIDEWALK. BUT IF THEY HAVE A HOT DOG TRUCK, THEY CANNOT DRIVE THAT ON THE PUBLIC SIDEWALK. TO MAKE SALES, THEY MUST STOP AT THE CURB AND NOT GO ONTO THE SIDEWALK. THIS JUST SIMPLY CLEANS IT UP AND CLARIFIES IT FOR THOSE WHO WERE. WE ACTUALLY HAD A CUSTOMER COME IN. HE HAD READ THE CODE COMPLETELY AND WAS CONFUSED AND POINTED OUT SOME OF THESE ISSUES TO US. SO THAT'S THIS CLEANS IT UP FOR HIM AND ANYONE AFTER. THANK YOU. ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE CITY CLERK? NO, BUT THIS IS VERY MUCH A PART OF THE OUR GOAL TO MAKE THE CODE CONSISTENT AND EFFICIENT. COUNCIL MEMBER FREEMAN. I'M JUST CURIOUS ABOUT, AS AN EXAMPLE, DOWN ON MEMORIAL DRIVE, WHERE WE HAVE THE FOOD TRUCK WILL PARK IN THOSE SPACES THAT ARE ACROSS THE SIDEWALK.

THAT'S THAT. I'M SURE THAT'S FINE. BUT I'M JUST CURIOUS ABOUT HOW THAT RELATES TO THIS ORDINANCE. THOSE ARE RENTED THROUGH PARKS. OKAY. AND I AND IT'S ACTUALLY NOT A SIDEWALK.

THEY'RE PARKING ON THEIR PARKING, RIGHT? YEAH. IT'S A PAD, SO TO SPEAK. AND THOSE ARE THOSE SPACES ARE HANDLED THROUGH THE PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT. OKAY.

AND RENT IT OUT. THANK YOU. I'M READY. COUNCIL MEMBER FRANCIS, I MOVE, I MOVE COUNCIL APPROVE THE ORDINANCE UPDATING CITY CODE TITLE FOUR, CHAPTER 12, SECTION 23 TO ALLOW NON-MOTORIZED VEHICLES TO MAKE SALES ON PUBLIC SIDEWALKS UNDER A SUSPENSION OF THE RULES REQUIRING THREE COMPLETE AND SEPARATE READINGS AND REQUESTS TO BE READ BY TITLE AND PUBLISHED BY SUMMARY. SECOND. DINGMAN. YES. LARSEN. AND HE'S NOT HERE. OKAY. I DID SO WELL ALL NIGHT. I CROSSED HIS NAME OFF ON EVERY ONE OF THESE. AND THEN THE VERY LAST ONE. I'M GLAD HE DIDN'T ANSWER. FRANCIS I.

THANK YOU ON MY PART, THERE IS A BILL THAT HAS MADE IT THROUGH THE SENATE, AND I WAS JUST TRYING TO LOOK UP THE NUMBER. IT'S A SENATE BILL. 1753. I THINK THAT ACTUALLY ALLOWS ANY SINGLE ANY LOT THAT ALLOWS SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTS. SO THIS WOULD BE LIKE OUR ONE, OUR, OUR PARK, OUR EXCUSE ME, OUR P FOR OUR PARKS ZONE AND OUR ESTATES TO ALLOW DUPLEX OR TWIN HOUSES BY RIGHT ONTO SINGLE RESIDENTIAL FAMILY LOTS. SO THAT IS SOMETHING IT'S ALREADY MADE IT THROUGH THE SENATE. SENATOR COOK REACHED OUT AND DID ASK ABOUT IT AND THEN VOTED NO. BUT IT MADE IT THROUGH THE SENATE. IT IS TOTALLY TAKES LOCAL LAND USE PLANNING OUT OF LOCAL OFFICIALS HANDS. THERE'S ALSO ONE THAT IS MOVING THROUGH TO BE ABLE TO ALLOW ANY ANY MANUFACTURED HOME ON. ON ONE. YES. BILL 1280, SENATE BILL 12, HOMES AND DUPLEXES. DID I HAVE THE WRONG NUMBER? THAT'S THE ONE. OKAY, I'LL LOOK THAT UP. BUT ANYWAY, I WE THEY JUST ARE MARCHING THROUGH ALL ORDINANCES.
