Vice Mayor Bonta inquired whether the matter would come back in a year, to which the City Manager responded in the affirmative. In response to Councilmember Tam's inquiry whether oversight would be complaint driven, the City Manager stated staff would be able to observe whether changes are occurring. In response to Mayor Gilmore's inquiry regarding the 30 day requirement, the Community Development Director stated the ordinance requires the matter be resolved within 30 days if Council is not ready to adopt the resolution. Mayor Gilmore inquired whether an option would be not moving forward and naming a successor organization within the 30 days. The Community Development Director responded at the hearing, businesses can request to be added or omitted, boundary changes can be made, or assessment level changes can be made; stated the 30 days allows staff time to ensure noticing is done before the changes go into effect and are voted on. In response to Councilmember deHaan's inquiry regarding the hearing noticing, the Community Development Director stated a letter was mailed to all members. Vice Mayor Bonta seconded the motion, which carried by unanimous voice vote - 4. [Absent: Councilmember Johnson - 1.] Councilmember deHaan moved adoption of the resolution for WABA.
