STAFF REPORT
TO: MAYOR PITTMAN & COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: RUTH DUNCAN, ASSISTANT CITY ADMINISTRATOR-ADMIN SVCS RE: MYERS STREET RESURFACING PROJECT CONTRACT INCREASE
DATE: JANUARY 20, 2026

SUMMARY
The City Council shall consider approving a contract overage payment of $11,531.66 to Pavement Coatings Company. Increased costs were due to planned delays in the project which were reimbursed to the City from Pacific Gas and Electric.

DISCUSSION
On September 3, 2024, Council approved the award of contract for the Myers Street Resurfacing project to Pavement Coatings Co. This project provided a layer of fiberized surfacing treatment and striping along Myers Street from Mitchell Avenue to Montgomery Street.

During the project there was a coordinated delay due to a gas line project by Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E). This delay resulted in higher costs due to pavement crews having to be redeployed. In addition, delaying this project until after the gas line was replaced saved PG&E funds that they would have had to expend to repair the street and striping.

PG&E reimbursed the City for the increased cost along with funds to assist in the pavement repair and striping in the amount of $59,470.88. Staff wish to increase the not to exceed amount by $11,531.66, utilizing funding from the Capital Projects Fund; and wish to deposit the funding received from PG&E into the Capital Project Fund, to offset the total costs incurred due to the delay.

FISCAL IMPACT
$11,531.66 from the Capital Projects Fund, which will be reimbursed from PG&E.

ACTION REQUESTED -

APPROVE PAYMENT TO PAVEMENT COATINGS COMPANY IN THE AMOUNT OF $11,531.66.

Based on our discussions, we understand that the City of Oroville (“City”) wishes to analyze the fiscal impacts of a new development and also form a Community Facilities District (“CFD”) to fund public facilities associated with the new development. These facilities will likely include backbone infrastructure and the CFD may also include funding of development impact fees required for the project, as well as additional in-tract improvements, at the City’s discretion.

The project will be separated into two phases: Phase One – Fiscal Impact Analysis, Phase Two – Formation of Community Facilities District (“CFD”).

Phase One – Fiscal Impact Analysis
Work Plan
Below is Willdan’s proposed scope of services for the completion of a Fiscal Impact Analysis.

Task A-1: Gather and Review Data
Description: Based on the results of the kickoff meeting (see Task A-5), review and validate the following data for use in the study:
 The City’s Fiscal Year (FY) 2025-26 budget and most recent available actuals;  Updated data specific to the project area(s) within the City of Oroville, including acreages, current and planned land uses, planned development, planned facilities to be maintained such as parks and roads, and assessed values;
 Updated development schedule data;
 Demographic information, including population and employment;  Project location tax rate area information from the County Auditor-Controller; and  Information on any service costs unique to the project area, to the extent available.

Task A-2: Develop Fiscal Revenue and Cost Model Inputs
Description: Willdan will develop a fiscal impact model, incorporating data gathered in Task 1, and review with City staff to determine whether any adjustments or modifications should be made to the underlying model or approach. The model will estimate relevant positive and negative fiscal impacts on a per-capita or case study basis, depending on which is appropriate for the City’s goals.

For per capita impacts, we will divide annual revenues or costs by the appropriate service population, which will include the current residential and employment population. Employment will be weighted appropriately to reflect impacts relative to residents for each revenue or cost item. The model will multiply these per capita factors by the projected service population associated with the areas to be included in the analysis. For case studies, we will estimate the impacts based on cost analyses specific to the project, facilities to be maintained, new revenue source to be created, or other method that has been determined to be the most accurate.

Task A-3: Produce, Test and Refine Revised Fiscal Model Description: Update the fiscal impact model with any necessary revised assumptions and revenue and cost inputs.

We will run the model to analyze the impact of the development in designated areas of the City, projected out to ten (10) years. In the interest of developing a methodology that spreads fiscal impacts equitably among development types, Willdan may run multiple versions of the fiscal impact analysis that include and/or exclude certain revenue and expenditure items. The results may be targeted to specific costs or reflect a comprehensive analysis of the City’s overall budget, depending on the City’s objectives.

Deliverables: Tables showing fiscal model assumptions and results.

Task A-4: Prepare and Present Fiscal Impact Analysis
31 Item 5.

Exhibit A
Willdan Financial Services Page 8 City of Oroville, CA
Description: Prepare an administrative draft memorandum that includes a presentation and explanation of the results, and a description of approach and assumptions.

Willdan will discuss and select cost and expenditure targets based on the City’s goals, objectives, and/or fiscal policies, so that the CFD will achieve a balanced special tax burden for different property types.

Municipal services and maintenance components can be broken out separately to achieve a stronger nexus between special tax rates and project/property special tax burdens. The report will contain the following elements:
 Services to be provided to the project area by the City of Oroville;  Level and range of proposed services;
 Revenues attributable to new development;
 Net fiscal impacts associated with new development;
 Potential levels of special tax, and
 Feasibility and estimated costs associated with providing services.

Deliverables: Revised Fiscal Impact Report.

Task A-5: Meetings
Description: Willdan anticipates two meetings during this engagement:
 Kick-off meeting with City staff and possibly project proponent(s);  Attendance/presentation at a City Council meeting to adopt the fiscal impact report; and  One additional in-person meeting.
 These meetings may be conducted via web conference (WebEx, Zoom, etc.) as appropriate and feasible.

Phase Two – Community Facilities District Formation
Project Approach
For this CFD our approach will start with detailed discussions with City Staff to fully understand the objectives, the goals of the landowners/developers to be included in the initial formation, and how the formation of a CFD supports those objectives. We will also review the City’s CFD Goals and Policies to ensure they support the purposes of the proposed CFD, or if Goals and Policies do not currently exist, work with the City to develop and adopt them. Following this, we will proceed immediately with the necessary analysis and steps to develop a list of facilities to be included in the CFD, establish a budget, develop, and evaluate CFD structures and Special Tax options, and coordinate the steps required to establish the proposed district.

The CFD formation will be driven by a special tax analysis that will consider the types of property currently proposed for inclusion in the CFD, as well as future developments, and the level of special tax burden they can bear. We will gather necessary data directly from developers and property owners (as appropriate) as well as from the City, County, and other sources (as necessary).

By identifying the level to which properties can be fairly and equitably taxed through the development, evaluation, and discussion of the financing plan provided by the developer and refined by the financing team, we can construct a special tax model that accurately forecasts aggregate special tax revenue that could be generated.

The special tax analysis will be presented to and discussed with City staff, and feedback will be incorporated into the final document as required. Once the analysis is finalized, we will use this as the foundation for the development of the special tax methodology and ultimately the Rate and Method of Apportionment of Special Tax (“RMA”).

Work Plan
The following outlines the steps associated with the formation of the CFD for the funding of public services. 32 Item 5.

Exhibit A
Willdan Financial Services Page 9 City of Oroville, CA
Task B-1: Project Kick-off Meeting
Following receipt of an authorization to proceed, our team will initiate discussions with the City and the developer to identify any additional documents or information necessary to complete the analysis and subsequent deliverables. As needed throughout the project, we will coordinate with City staff, their consultants, and other outside agencies involved in the project (such as the local school district) to gather required information for the proceedings.

Specifically, the kick-off discussion will include the following:
 Confirmation of the objectives of the CFD formation;
 Confirmation of the facilities to be funded by the CFD;  Discussion of necessary data, its sources and availability;  Outlining the process and steps necessary for the formation;  Development of a draft timeline of events and milestones;  Identification of key participants and areas of responsibility; and  A general discussion of potential challenges or obstacles.

Task B-2: Review of Goals and Policies
Based on the discussions during the kick-off meeting, Willdan will review the current Goals and Policies, and if necessary, may make edits to the existing CFD Goals and Policies, or work with the City to develop first-time Goals and Policies, to address the specific goals of this proposed CFD. City policies for the formation and use of CFDs must be approved by the legislative body prior to the formation of any CFD. It sets policies for the formation of CFDs in the City, including limits to the cumulative effective tax rate of properties within the district, the menu of potential services that may be included, and other aspects of the CFD formation process.

Task B-3: Background Research and Preparation of CFD Budget Willdan will evaluate the public facilities needs of the developer and confirm the potential for public financing with the City to produce a narrative description of these items to include in the Community Facilities District Report.

Willdan will review property ownership and/or development plans provided to us in Section A. In addition, prior to beginning formation proceedings, Willdan will contact the Butte County Registrar’s Office to confirm that the number of registered voters within the proposed district boundaries is less than twelve (12), which will allow for a landowner election.

Task B-4: Development and Presentation of Tax Methodology The proposed maximum special taxes will be developed and designed to generate sufficient revenue to meet CFD objectives and tax properties consistent with established development requirements and policies.

Willdan may develop additional improvement areas, zones, special tax categories, and rates for future property types within the CFD. The CFD may be the first in a series, or the CFD may cover a wide area of development, depending on the needs of the City and the developer.

The special tax structure for the RMA will be developed based on CFD boundaries, facilities to be funded and proposed development, ensuring a reasonable tax burden on the properties.

The method of allocating tax burdens to each property type will be discussed with the City to ensure that considerations have been addressed and then included in both the Resolution of Intention and the Community Facilities District Report.

The method will consider practical annual administration implications, including the “trigger” event used to reclassify undeveloped property to developed property, the number of levels of development, possible exemptions, and the impacts, both financial and political, on the secondary property owner. 33 Item 5.

Exhibit A
Willdan Financial Services Page 10 City of Oroville, CA Task B-5: Rate and Method of Apportionment of Special Tax (RMA) and Boundary Map
An RMA of Special Tax and Boundary Map for the Resolution of Intention will be prepared. This RMA will document the special tax rates for properties within the CFD boundaries, the procedures for calculating and applying the tax, and other information necessary for administering the CFD on a continuing basis.

Task B-6: Community Facilities District Report
Willdan will prepare a CFD Report that includes a description of the facilities to be funded, cost estimates, incidental expenses, the RMA, boundary map, and other information. If requested, Willdan will present the CFD Report to Council and field questions received at the Public Hearing.

The CFD Report will include the following components:
 Summary of steps taken thus far in forming the CFD;
 Description of the proposed facilities to be funded;
 Costs of proposed facilities;
 CFD Boundaries; and
 The Rate and Method of Apportionment of Special Tax.

Task B-7: Document Review, Preparation, and Recordation Willdan will collaborate with the City’s legal counsel to prepare drafts of the required staff reports, resolutions, petitions, Consent and Waiver documents, notices, and ballots. As we do not practice law, we ask that the City’s attorney or other designated counsel review the documents. We will, however, assist legal counsel in identifying pertinent legal issues and modifications necessary before the documents are implemented.

Willdan will prepare the letter and exhibit for confirmation of the number of registered voters from the County of Butte and obtain certification of findings.

If the City is unable to garner 100 percent consent from the affected property owners to waive the election period and a regular special tax election is required, the City’s legal counsel will be responsible for preparing and coordinating the required impartial analysis and ballot arguments.

Willdan will prepare a script to be followed by the City Clerk and City Council at the election meeting/Public Hearing.

Following the Resolution of Intention Willdan will print the final boundary map on the material and size required by the County of Butte and coordinate recordation of the boundary map with the city and the County recorder, and after successful formation of the CFD, Willdan will coordinate the recordation of the “Notice of Special Tax Lien.” Meeting Attendance
Anticipated meetings are outlined in the proposed timeline included herein and, other than the Public Hearing, will be held telephonically and/or virtually (i.e., WebEx, Zoom, Teams, etc.). Additional meetings will be invoiced at our current hourly rates noted in the project fees section.

Willdan will attend the Public Hearing for the CFD formation, either remotely or in person if needed, and make a presentation to City Council at the city’s request.

STAFF REPORT

FROM: TIM KABER, INTERIM CITY ENGINEER/PROJECT MANAGER /

SENIOR CIVIL ENGINEER
RE: UPDATED HEWITT PARK HOURS AND RENTAL FEES
DATE: JANUARY 20, 2026

SUMMARY
The City Council shall consider modification to Hewitt Park operational hours and rental fees.

DISCUSSION
The Hewitt Park renovation project will be completed in March/April of this year. The updated amenities include pickleball courts, a multi-purpose field, splash pad, and a picnic pavilion.

These facilities also include lights for use after the sun sets.

Current operational hours for the park are Dusk to Dawn.

Staff presented the current status and fees for park use to the Parks Commission on December 9, 2025, with recommendations on operating hours and rental rates.

After deliberation the Parks Commission recommends the following operating hours to align with the intended use of the park:

Year-round Sunday -Thursday: 6 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Year-round Friday-Saturday and days preceding a recognized holiday: 6 a.m. to 10 p.m.

Current Rental Fees for the park are based on the pre-renovation status of the park and not reflective of the upgrades and additional amenities.

Currently, the general park fee for rental is $43 for up to 4 hours. This fee does not identify which portion of the park is rented for $43.

The recommended fees discussed with the Parks Commission pertain to the picnic pavilion only. A fee of $50 for a three hour period, with 3-4 periods available per day depending on the season. The Parks Commission also recommends allowing for low-income fee waivers 54 Item 8.
for one session per day. The threshold for low-income has not been discussed or recommended.

Other area park rental fees were researched for comparison. Costs are listed below:

Park/Facility Rental Rates
Riverbend Park Salmon Pavillion $145/half day, $255 full day Martin Luther King Jr Picnic Area $65/half day, $100/full day Hewitt Park Picnic Pavillion $50 per 3 hour session (recommended) Staff also researched rental rates for the pickleball courts and athletic fields. Courts and fields are first come, first served with no rental fee, unless reserved.

Staff anticipates the pickleball courts will be extremely popular, with potential for tournament play. The recommended fee is for the newly constructed group of 4 courts and the championship court. The courts that are on the repurposed basketball court would remain first come, first served without the potential to be reserved.

Pickleball Courts:

Park/Facility Rental Rates
Durham Pickleball Courts $30/hour for 2 courts ($15 each) to reserve FRRPD Bedrock Park Pickleball Courts Currently no fee, however tennis is $65/day Hewitt Park Recommended - $15/hr/court to reserve
Athletic Fields:

Park/Facility Rental Rates
Martin Luther King, Jr soccer field $150/day, $75/half day Chico Community Park south field $250/4 hours, $375/5-8 hours, $600/day Hewitt Park Recommended - $150/day, $75/half day
Currently there is no requirement to obtain insurance for renting any City of Oroville park facility. A check of other local entities and rental policies was performed to determine the applicability of insurance to rent City of Oroville parks.

Chico Area Recreation and Parks District does not require insurance for rental of CARD facilities. Feather River Recreation and Parks District requires rental insurance for rented facilities. Costs run between $100 to $200 depending on attendees, alcohol, and location.

FISCAL IMPACT
55 Item 8.

Any adjustment to rental rates may affect General Fund or Parks Division revenues associated with facility rentals. Increases could help offset maintenance and operations costs; decreases may encourage more public usage but reduce cost recovery. Fiscal impacts will vary based on the direction of Council.

ACTION(S) REQUESTED

1. APPROVE THE RECOMMENDED OPERATING HOURS AND RENTAL FEES; OR

2. PROVIDE DIRECTION TO STAFF ON FURTHER INVESTIGATE OPERATING HOURS AND RENTAL FEES; AND

3. CONTINUE THE RENTAL OF PARK FACILITIES WITHOUT A REQUIREMENT FOR INSURANCE; OR

4. DIRECT STAFF TO FURTHER INVESTIGATE INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS.

BUSINESS ASSISTANCE/HOUSING DEVELOPMENT
RE: 2025 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT APPLICATION
DATE: JANUARY 20, 2026

SUMMARY
The City Council shall consider approving a resolution for the submittal of 2025 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Application.
.

DISCUSSION
The California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) received funding from the United States Department of Housing and urban Development (HUD) for Community Development Block Grants (CDBG). The purpose of these funds is to develop viable communities by the provision of decent affordable housing, a suitable living environment, and to expand economic opportunities, principally for the benefit of the low-moderate-income (LMI) persons, families, households and neighborhoods.

On September 30, 2025, the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) announced the release of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program 2025 Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA). Then on December 15, 2025, CDBG released Amendment #1 to the NOFA moving the application window from December 1, 2025, to February 2, 2026, with applications due April 3, 2026.The NOFA will fund approximately $27 million in federal funds for the CDBG eligible activities.

Eligible activities include public services, planning, construction, housing and economic development.

On November 4, 2025, City Council held a public hearing outlining programmatic changes to the 2025 NOFA, heard staff recommendations and solicited comments from the public regarding which of the City’s funding priorities would result in an application to the State.

Direction was given from council for staff to submit applications for the following three (3) activities:
60 Item 10.

1. Public Infrastructure-Storm Drain Improvement Project (street) $ 2,564,486.00

2. Public Service-Neighborhood Cleanup Program: $300,000.00

3. Housing Program-Single Family (1-4) Rehabilitation Program: $500,000.00

4. General Administration (7%): $235,514.00
Total $ 3,600,000.00
However, after further review of the NOFA’s 50% expenditure rule, the City is not eligible to apply for a public service nor a housing program due to not having expended 50% of currently applications for those activities. Therefore, under the 2025, the City of Oroville is eligible to apply for one (1) application up to $3,300,000. City staff recommends applying for one (1) infrastructure project to flood drainage improvement in the amount of $3,084,113 and $215,887 in general administration.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no impact to the General Fund.

OPEN LETTER FOR THE RECORD
To:

The Honorable Mayor and Members of the Oroville City Council Via:

City Clerk – For Public Record
CC:

City of Oroville Planning Department
City Manager
City Attorney
Relevant City Staff
Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council,
I would first like to extend my sincere appreciation to each of you for your service as City Council members. I recognize that this role requires a significant commitment of time and energy—often at the expense of family, work, and personal pursuits—and I thank you for your willingness to serve the community. I also wish to acknowledge city staff for their ongoing efforts in managing day-to-day operations and working to keep the City of Oroville functioning effectively.

I have been an active member of the Oroville community since 1972. Over the decades, Oroville has provided an exceptional cultural environment in which to raise a family, build a career, and make long-term investments. The city has offered both opportunity and stability, allowing residents like myself to contribute to and participate in its economic and civic growth.

As a member of a small and interconnected community, I have interacted with city officials and staff both personally and through business and civic activities over many years. These experiences have given me a deep appreciation for the challenges of municipal governance, as well as a strong interest in ensuring that Oroville continues to grow in a thoughtful, balanced, and sustainable manner for current and future generations.

Statement of Concern
It was recently brought to my attention that a significant rezoning action had occurred of which I had no prior knowledge. Through subsequent conversations with other property owners, I learned that several individuals were similarly unaware that the City had implemented a major rezoning that adversely affected existing property uses. 86 Item ii.

I personally own several parcels that were impacted by this rezoning. Upon discovering this issue, I undertook a focused review of the rezoning process, including the scope of the changes, the implications of down-zoning, and the standards governing continued and existing uses under the new zoning classification.

Over the course of several weeks, I studied applicable planning principles, zoning frameworks, and continuity-of-use provisions. During this time, I gathered relevant information, reviewed city materials, and prepared multiple documents to better understand the basis and consequences of the rezoning as it relates to both my properties and others similarly situated.

Based on this review, I reached a reasoned conclusion regarding the rezoning and its effects.

I have prepared supporting documentation that summarizes my findings and outlines the issues identified through this process.

Subsequent Engagement and Site Review
Following the completion of my initial review and documentation, I had the opportunity to meet with Shawn Webber. Mr. Webber was willing to meet openly and generously offered the time needed to discuss the matter in detail.

During this meeting, we conducted a walking review of the area most affected by the rezoning, including the portions of downtown encompassing my properties. This walk covered approximately 3.5 miles and took close to 2.5 hours, including discussion along the route. I appreciated the councilman’s time and willingness to engage in a thorough, on-theground review.

The purpose of this site walk was to better understand the geographic scope, physical context, and real-world impacts of the rezoning as applied on the ground. The discussion was focused on observation, clarification, and understanding of how the zoning changes interact with existing development patterns, historical uses, and current property conditions.

This engagement was informative and constructive, and it further underscored the importance of evaluating zoning decisions not only in policy terms, but also in how they function across an established and interconnected downtown area.

Clarification for the Record
It has come to my attention that my site walk and discussion with a fellow City Council member has generated some concern or controversy. For clarity and for the public record, I would like to state that the walk and discussion were limited strictly to the subject matter at hand and were conducted for informational and observational purposes only. 87 Item ii.

I understand that the council member has a connection with one of my tenants. However, there was no discussion, involvement, or interaction of any kind regarding lease terms, negotiations, or agreements during this meeting. Any assumption that lease-related matters were discussed is incorrect.

For clarity, my tenant and I executed a rental agreement in November, independent of and unrelated to any subsequent conversations or site visits. No council member participated in, influenced, or was involved in that agreement.

I recognize and respect that members of the City Council may hold differing opinions, and I believe that thoughtful disagreement can be valuable when it brings issues into the open and supports informed decision-making. However, when discussion shifts toward assumptions or discord rather than fact-based clarification, it can become unproductive and detract from the substantive issues that merit consideration.

This clarification is provided to ensure accuracy, transparency, and completeness of the record.

Respectfully submitted,
Donald D. Dirks Jr.
(Known as Doug Dirks)

Subject: Written Public Comment RE: December 30 City Council Meeting (Transparency & Ethics Agenda Item) Date: Monday, January 5, 2026 10:16:50 AM
CAUTION: This email originated from outside of Cole Huber LLP. Please do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe.

Because I am unable to attend this meeting in person, I respectfully request that this written public comment be read into the record during the appropriate agenda item or included in full in the meeting record.

Thank you, Mayor and Council.

I would like to acknowledge the proposal to consolidate and clarify transparency and ethics standards that the council discussed at its meeting on December 16, 2025. Any effort to improve consistency, accountability, and public trust is welcome, and it is something I have been calling for since July.

That said, I want to raise a policy level question prompted by this agenda item.

Transparency is not just about compiling existing rules into a handbook; it’s about ensuring those rules are applied consistently, especially when conflicts of interest, actual or perceived, may exist.

For months, residents, including myself, have asked straightforward questions about recusals, closed-session participation, and financial conflicts related to the Gateway Project & other projects and affiliated organizations, questions grounded in statute, case law, and established FPPC guidance, not speculation. These questions have at times been characterized as personal attacks, inappropriate, or based on misinformation, even though Government Code sections §1090 and §87100 require avoidance of both actual conflicts and the appearance of conflicts.

They require proactive steps to identify, disclose, and document potential conflicts so the public does not have to infer what happened after the fact. Where circumstances give rise to the appearance of a conflict of interest, Government Code §§1090 and 87100, together with established FPPC guidance, require public officials to proactively evaluate the situation, disclose relevant interests, seek appropriate advice, and document how the potential conflict was addressed, so the public record reflects compliance rather than leaving the public to infer what occurred. In recent matters, the public record has not clearly reflected that those steps occurred.

As the City considers strengthening and formalizing transparency standards, I respectfully ask:

What independent oversight exists to identify and address conflicts before violations, and what are the ramifications if a violation occurs?
How will the City ensure that conflicts under §1090 and §87100 are proactively identified and addressed, rather than left to individual discretion? If no such process exists, is the Council open to formalizing one, such as routine FPPC consultation or an independent ethics review, so that council members are protected from inadvertent violations and the public can have confidence in the process? Will the City commit to clearly documenting recusals in open session so that the public does not have to guess whether conflicts were properly evaluated? 89 Item iii.

Will the City seek FPPC guidance when conflicts involve overlapping public and private roles?
Can the City also clarify the role of the City Attorney in proactively identifying and advising on potential conflicts of interest under Government Code §§1090 and 87100, including when recusal is appropriate and when FPPC guidance should be sought, so that these issues are addressed before they become violations, rather than after public concern or litigation arises?
These questions are not hypothetical; they arise directly from recent situations where the public record did not clearly reflect how conflicts were identified, evaluated, or addressed.

One last question, prompted by this discussion: who, at the local level, is responsible for proactively identifying and addressing potential conflicts of interest before a violation occurs? If the answer is that the FPPC is the only mechanism for accountability, does the City believe it is sufficient to rely entirely on external enforcement after the fact, rather than having an internal review or oversight process that protects both councilmembers and the public from inadvertent violations? As transparency standards are being formalized, I ask whether the City is open to establishing a local process for conflict review and documentation, so issues are identified, addressed, and disclosed early, rather than only through complaints, investigations, or litigation.

The public wants transparency not just in written policy but in practice, through consistent disclosure, open recusals, and a culture where public questions are truly welcomed. And we want accountability.

These questions are designed to enhance the City’s processes and safeguard both council members and the public by identifying and addressing potential conflicts early.

I welcome any council member who wishes to respond to provide a written clarification. I appreciate the Council’s attention to these issues and look forward to seeing transparency strengthened in practice, not just in policy.

Thank you.
