<br />made tonight and opined that these are unnecessary in a public forum. One Council <br />Member would like the study pursued because then there will be awareness about what <br />the options are. Mayor Foust asked for clarification on the resolution, since Ms. Bruggman <br />asked the Mayor during the break whether there would be a pre-determination of the <br />appropriate land use for the Cargill site. Mr. Yamamoto said that is not the case and the <br />reason why the resolution was written this way was to give maximum flexibility to staff so <br />that it could come back to the Council with its recommendation. <br /> <br />M/S Howard/Hartnett to extend the meeting until 11 :05 p.m. Motion carried by <br />unanimous voice vote. <br /> <br />Mayor Foust acknowledged a voice mail from a resident who requested that the Council <br />Meetings not go until 1 :00 a.m. Mayor Foust thinks it would be a disservice if this was not <br />studied. She understands that there are polarizing opinions and stances but she does not <br />want to ignore those that are "middle of the road". She wants the majority in the center to <br />also be heard and not be obfuscated by the extremes. She believes the "whole" <br />community deserves the opportunity to be heard. Mayor Foust does not support the <br />polarization with 20% on one extreme and 300/0 on the other extreme; instead she wants <br />to focus on the rest of the folks who have not been at the table. She supports starting the <br />conversation with the rest of the community who might not have been heard. <br /> <br />M/S Ira/Pierce to approve recommendation 7.B1. Motion carried by unanimously by <br />electronic vote. <br />One Council Member commented that the community as a whole is invited to work <br />together and share their views. <br /> <br />M/S Hartnett/Aguirre to approve the resolution (agenda item 7.b.2). Motion carried <br />unanimously by electronic vote. <br />(Between 7:42 p.m. and 11 :05 p.m. the City Council listened to the staff presentation, the applicant, public <br />comment and discussed the issue of the Saltworks Development Proposal.
