Absent: None
Also Present: City Manager Schwabauer, City Attorney Magdich, and Assistant City Clerk Farris
City Manager Schwabauer provided a presentation reaffirming the ratification of the City
Manager's proclamation finding continued existence of a local emergency.
In response to Mayor Pro Tempore Chandler, Mr. Schwabauer stated that there are a few
reimbursements that are still outstanding but that if the reaffirmation is not approved, the funding
for the Great Plates program would be fine. In further response, Public Works Director Charlie
Swimley stated that the City participation in the barricade program for Downtown restaurants will
end on August 15 and that removal of all barricades must be completed by October 30.
In response to Mayor Nakanishi, Deputy City Manager Andrew Keys stated that the current
outstanding reimbursements are less than $1,000 and that the Federal declaration of emergency
is set to expire in September. He added that the cost of staff time spent tracking the expenses is
exceeding the amount of reimbursement, so reaffirmation of the local emergency would serve as
insurance against future expenses.
In response to Mayor Nakanishi, City Manager Schwabauer confirmed that the proclamation of a
local emergency could be reinstated later if necessary.
City Attorney Magdich confirmed that if no action is taken, the proclamation of local emergency
will expire on July 30.
No action was taken by City Council on the item.
None.
