(to <br /> be provided) <br /> Councilmember Kepple read the following report into the record: <br /> We had a lot ofgreat discussions recently regarding the parklets issue. Last meeting we received <br /> a presentation from a local business that has a potential plan that we could look at as a pilot <br /> project that has presented an economic viewpoint on how it could make their business whole. <br /> The main work that we've been doing is looking at a public campaign to encourage folks to shop <br /> local and shop safe. That includes signage and a social media campaign. I'm going to turn it <br /> over to Mayor George for some updates. <br /> Mayor George stated "We're excited to get this campaign rolled out and are continuing to <br /> work with Lakewood Alive and the Chamber to address concerns of businesses as they arise <br /> during this fluid situation that we're in. We will continue to meet after the campaign is rolled out <br /> and continue to address the concerns of the business community. In terms of some of the ideas <br /> discussed tonight, if it aims to create an environment for an establishment to survive during this <br /> pandemic, then we owe it to the business community to review those situations. I'm looking <br /> forward to continued discussion. I think moving the resolution that Councilmember Shachner <br /> proposed through the Planning Commission process is a great step forward. <br />
