Ordinance 2020-79 adopted 7-0. Councilman Glassburn voted yes with comment. I'd like to thank the Chairwoman, Ms. Williamson, for her leadership on this issue and taking the time to go through this and to not let it move forward until it was right. There were a lot of things that needed fixed. There was a new section that Council added that I think will be a real boon for businesses and I really credit her and quite honestly Council President Jones for helping this Council get through that to make a good final product. Councilman Schumann voted yes with comment. For well over a year and a half the Planning Department, Building, Engineering, Law, our consultant, the public, stakeholders, business community, representatives from the Chamber of Commerce, this went through the Planning Commission and of course the Building, Zoning and Development committee of Council and all of these had an imprint on the final legislation. Kudos to the Planning Director for her work on this. I agree with Mr. Glassburn, kudos to the BZD Chair for keeping this moving. Councilwoman Hemann voted yes with comment. I would also like to thank Chairperson Williamson because this was difficult. It wasn't an easy conversation, we had several meetings and I would hope that when there is a disparately in our opinions and what we think is best for each of our Wards and/or the City as a whole that same path would be followed. I would implore Mr. Limpert to please respect that and perhaps call another committee meeting. Resolution 2020-114 introduced by Mayor Kennedy was given its second reading.
