CityCouncil | 2017-10-03 | 22 | (Councilmember Oddie) Councilmember Oddie made brief comments regarding the referral. Mayor Spencer inquired when staff plans to report back. The City Manager responded staff will discuss preliminary data at the WETA meeting; the matter will go to the Transportation Commission in November and return to Council in December. Mayor Spencer inquired whether representatives from other agencies will be present, to which the City Manager responded WETA and AC Transit will be present. Mayor Spencer inquired why Councilmember Oddie requested a workshop instead of a regular agenda item. Councilmember Oddie responded that he requested a workshop to have a regular dialogue instead of having speakers only have 3 minutes to speak and Council not engage with the speakers. The City Manager stated the workshop would be a special meeting. Mayor Spencer inquired when the workshop would take place. Councilmember Oddie responded that he has no preference. The City Manager stated the workshop is scheduled for the first meeting in December. Mayor Spencer inquired whether Councilmember Oddie would like the workshop to occur prior to the regular Council meeting, to which Councilmember Oddie responded a lot of people cannot make a 6:00 p.m. meeting. Mayor Spencer inquired whether the regular City Council meeting could be recessed to allow the back and forth dialogue, then return to the regular meeting. The City Clerk expressed concern with having to juggle the meetings with other agencies involved. Mayor Spencer inquired whether the workshop could occur in between the regular City Council meeting, to which the City Clerk responded in the affirmative. The City Attorney stated conducting the meeting in said manner would be messy. Councilmember Matarrese stated the workshop should be a Saturday meeting; he would also like to address the rest of the north shore development issues with WETA and BCDC and the water taxis at the same meeting.
