Discussion: Councilmember Bullock thanked everyone for their work on the ordinance. He noted that after discussion, resident to resident light trespass was not included in the ordinance. It was discussed writing this in as a potential nuisance incident that could then be enforced through the chronic nuisance process. He noted that work has begun on this new proposal. He noted that today's ordinance is a thoughtful improvement that will govern the majority of light pollution incidents. On the motion: Motion passed. All members voted in favor. 8. Public Works Committee report regarding meeting held April 1, 2019. (to be provided) The Public Works Committee met earlier prior to the Regular meeting and discussed four items. The Committee deliberated on Resolution 9061-19 regarding an easement needed to install an emergency generator near the Clifton Lagoons to prevent sewage from flowing into the lake in the event of a power outage. The Committee recommended unanimously to adopt. In regard to Ordinance 10-19, which would increase pool fees for outdoor Lakewood public pools, the committee referred the matter back to full Council for consideration without a recommendation. More time was needed to determine the increased effects on pool attendance. The Committee unanimously recommended that Ordinance 11-19, which extends the City's lease agreement with the HELP Foundation to sell concessions at Lakewood Park by one year, be adopted. Director Butler spoke with management of the HELP Foundation, who will continue with a one year lease this year, about a longer lease in the future. Councilman Anderson commented on how beneficial the HELP Foundation's program is. Director Butler stated that the administration takes no position on whether Ordinance 11-19 should be adopted tonight. Councilman Rader asked that the ordinance be deferred until its 3rd reading so as not circumvent Council rules. Public works updates were provided on various parks and streets projects. Curb installation and traffic calming efforts were discussed as well. Councilman Rader expects more dialogue in the future and may consider referring some of the discussion regarding traffic calming to Public Safety Committee. 4
