water/sewage would be affected but did an evaluation and came up with no areas of impact. Jose Solorio also encouraged another look at Public Safety impacts as we have a low ratio of police/population. There were several questions: Candida did a very nice job of answering and clearly, even though they apparently did not hear from too many people early on, they got the right message. There will be additional opportunities for public comment (future Coml-ink and supposedly a public community forum through Planning Commission). There is some urgency to pass the ordinance however, since anybody can now request a permit and without a city ordinance in place, the city has to grant the permit within 120 days as long as the State regulations are met (which are much more lenient than what the city ordinance is proposing). There have been over 29 applications since January, so I think it is safe to assume some have already been granted. So the adage "be careful what you ask for, you just might get it" applies here - the more meetings requested, the longer the delay to get it passed. My suggestion is to pick up a copy of the draft ordinance, read it, and if you have questions, send to Candida. She appears to be very receptive to listening. Jose Solorio also seemed on board with the concerns expressed by the residents at the meeting. Candida spoke with the Executive Board of ComLink last night; I believe there might be a presentation at the Sept meeting. I suggest to contact the ComLink board members you know and ask for that on the upcoming agenda. Also suggest if you have comments, send them to Candida ASAP. Thanks, . Mary PS: I did not stay to hear the discussion re the homeless issue; if anybody can provide an update on that it would be appreciated; seemed like there were some agitated folks in the audience waiting for that issue. Please forward to anybody who may have been left off this email inadvertently. Sent from my Whone 75A-62
