CITY MANAGER'S STAFF REPORTS CITY COUNCIL The following items have no legal publication or posting requirements. P1. DEVELOPMENT CODE UPDATE STATUS REPORT AND REVIEW OF PROPOSED CHANGES James Troyer, Planning Director, presented the staff report. In response to Council Member Buquet, the Planning Director indicated that the sign ordinance would be revised as part of the update. Also, Mr. Troyer confirmed that he was meeting with the Chamber of Commerce about these proposed changes. James Troyer discussed with Mayor Michael the proposed incentives to meet green building standards, including a very minor increase in floor area or lot coverage and/or a small density unit bonus. Also discussed were the proposed changes to monument signs. In response to Council Member Alexander, Mr. Troyer noted that there would be a workshop in March and anticipated that the development code would be adopted in May. Also discussed was using business licenses to engage community members who are not members of the Chamber of Commerce. This was done in the first community workshop. Q. COUNCIL BUSINESS 01. COUNCIL ANNOUNCEMENTS (Comments to be limited to three minutes per Council Member.) Council Member Williams had attended the ribbon cutting ceremony today and congratulated the Engineering Department for the new bridge over the pedestrian/equestrian trail. Mayor Pro Tem Spagnolo shared that the men and women serving aboard the military ships that enter and leave Pearl Harbor will stand at attention on the deck and salute the USS Arizona Memorial when passing it. He thanked the Police Department for the recent Shop with a Cop activity and commented on his recent visit to the Family Resource Center. Council Member Buquet noted that the recent windstorm was much more severe than people realize and indicated that there will be a report on this at the next City Council meeting. He appreciated the fact that the pedestrian/equestrian trails were so popular and expressed a concern with the safety of people frequenting the trail. Perhaps a flashing strobe light on street crossings could be installed. 02. LEGISLATIVE AND REGIONAL UPDATES (Oral) Mayor Pro Tem Spagnolo reported that Legislative Analyst Office has called for trigger cuts as General Fund revenues are expected to be $3.7 billion below the level assumed in the budget. This revenue shortfall would translate into $2 billion of trigger cuts to various state programs including all of the "Tier 1" trigger cuts to higher education and health and human services and about three-fourths of the "Tier 2" reductions to k-12 education. Mayor Pro Tem Spagnolo reported that President Obama has signed the 2012 spending bill hat sets 2012 budgets for five Cabinet-level departments, as well as NASA and a number of smaller agencies. The measure also extends short-term funding for other agencies until Dec. 16 at close to last year's levels. However, he noted that the super committee has failed to reach agreement on a solution to reduce the growing $15 trillion government debt. Lastly, he noted that the Governor is asking voters to approve a tax increase to close the state's chronic budget deficit.
