CityCouncil | 2018-01-16 | 22 | The City Attorney responded there is a laundry list of fixes for Ordinance 3180 to make the program work better; stated staff will come back to Council with suggested changes. Vice Mayor Vella inquired what is the legal basis for the matter returning to Council if Ordinance 3180 has been rescinded. The City Attorney responded Ordinance 3180 did not address the establishment of the fee itself, which was done by resolution. Vice Mayor Vella requested clarification on the fixes to Ordinance 3180 that will return to Council. The City Manager responded staff will return to Council after the year [from the referendum] is up. Vice Mayor Vella inquired whether staff is saying there will be two presentations from staff and the one in the spring is relative to an audit. The City Manager responded the one is spring is the Nexus study. Vice Mayor Vella inquired whether the other presentation will not be until a year from the date the ordinance was rescinded. The City Attorney responded that she is unaware of the timing but she envisioned all the items returning at the same time. Mayor Spencer stated the items go outside the scope of the referral. Councilmember Oddie stated dredging is outside the scope of piers and yet dredging was discussed. On the call for the question, the motion failed by the following voice vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Ezzy Ashcraft and Matarrese - 2. Noes: Vice Mayor Vella and Mayor Spencer and - 2. Abstention: Councilmember Oddie - 1. Mayor Spencer moved approval of the referral. Vice Mayor Vella second the motion with a friendly amendment that Council direct staff to provide clarification on what can and cannot be done. The City Attorney stated that she answered the question; the fee can be collected. Vice Mayor Vella stated Ordinance 3180 clarified administration of the fee. The City Attorney stated Vice Mayor Vella is correct; but the clarification is not in play; staff would return to Council after the year mark.
