City Council Meeting — Consolidated Summary

• High-level summary The meeting covered climate and planning investments, safety and infrastructure initiatives, and procedural actions, with several items moving through committee and council votes. Key decisions included approving several committee minutes and deferring one item to closed session, while a major West Harbor plan discussion and climate funding item progressed with formal motions. Public input opportunities were not explicitly spelled out in this transcript, but various items noted future engagement and outreach.

• Five most important topics (elaborated) 1) Climate Change Reserve Funding for Tree Planting (Item 8.2, File PEED25240)

• The council discussed a three-year tree-planting program with a total cost of $132,950 (per tree costing and outreach included). Director/Council discussions clarified that the program’s broader outreach, education, and monitoring are part of the investment. A key element was incorporating climate-resilience aims into the tree-planting initiative.
• Public quotes/points: Director highlighted, “Included in that costing though is also the advertising, the outreach to get people to participate in the program... there is a component of education to help them understand how to take care of their tree.”
• File/bylaw: PEED25240 (8.2). Outcome: Motion passed (13-3), funding approved.

2) West Harbor Development Plan Status Update (Item 7.7 sub 2, File PEED17181) - The council revisited the status of West Harbor redevelopment; a motion to affirm or overturn the prior committee recommendation was discussed.

The discussion emphasized a clean electronic voting process and clarity on items. - Public quotes/points: “Are there any items within these minutes that members would like to speak to, amend, or have voted on separately? Seeing none, we’ll then go to the electronic vote that carries 16 to zero.” - File/bylaw: PWC 255013. Outcome: Passed unanimously (16-0).

4) General Issues Committee Budget Minutes (GIC 25-01c16) / GIC Budget Minutes (GIC B250009) - The council approved the General Issues Committee budget minutes, including recommendations and correspondence items.

Outcome: Passed unanimously (13-0) in that section.

5) Deferred Item 12.3 to Closed Session (LS25018) - The council moved to defer item 12.3 (related to closed minutes) to a later time after the closed session, ensuring proper process before discussion resumes publicly. - Public quotes/points: Clerk’s procedural note: “In order to facilitate that, we’ll just look for a motion from Counselor BD to defer item 12.3 and the closed minutes until after the closed portion.” - File/bylaw: LS25018.
