Council may direct staff to act on positions taken by Council. (Copies of League of California Cities Priority Focus available in City Clerk's Department) B. Measure Q Update - City Attorney Stan Yamamoto City Attorney Yamamoto stated that questions had arisen with respect to Measure Q and the aftermath of the vote. He gave the background dating from June 2004 when Council introduced an ordinance that rezoned the property in the Bair Island area. The ordinance did not go into effect because in August 5, the Council took action to place the ordinance on the November 2 ballot. Once placed on the ballot, the ordinance remained suspended until the outcome was known with respect to the General Municipal Election. Although the official count is not known until the certified results are complete, the raw vote indicates that a majority of the voters have not approved the adoption of the rezoning. After the canvass of votes, should the results hold, under 9241 of the State Elections Code, the ordinance remains in suspense for a period of one year. At this point in time there is no action to be taken by the City Council with respect to rezoning of that property. Council comments included support of Mayor Ira's outreach to the "No on Measure Q" Committee and the recommendation that there be a task force to decide the best use of the site. The suggestion of a joint session with the Planning Commission and Housing and Human Concerns Committee to discuss housing in general was made. Where and what type of housing is needed, how the Downtown Area Plan, the Marina plan and the General Plan fits in. Develop some sort of guideline for proposals. The next study session in one of the neighborhoods on the General Plan is scheduled for December 7 and the CITY COUNCIL AND REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY JOINT MEETING MINUTES NOVEMBER 8, 2004 PAGE 7 MINUTES Book No. 60 Page No. 350
