Background — AI summary of 6 meeting records: This amendment is before Council for the first time, with no prior Legistar action on file. The underlying AVA Presents lease was introduced at the June 23, 2025 work session, where Ryan Trujillo and staff reviewed auditorium history, the Solutions Team process, and vendor selection, and Jesse Morreale of AVA addressed qualifications, goals, public safety, and historic preservation; Council then adopted the related public-purpose resolution 25-270 on a unanimous 9-0 vote on July 8, 2025.

Speaking at this meeting
This is a work session, and public comment is not taken on items scheduled for discussion unless the agenda says otherwise. If you want to speak to something below, the regular meeting is the place.
Making sense of the numbers
Each item below carries up to three different numbers. They are not versions of each other:
Agenda number (like 4A.A.) — where the item sits in this meeting's running order. It changes every meeting, so it is useless for tracking anything over time.
File number (like 26-324, or ZONE-26-0012 for land-use cases) — the city's permanent identifier for the matter itself. It stays the same from first reading to final vote, so this is the one to search on if you want to follow something.
Ordinance number (like Ordinance No. 26-39, inside the title) — assigned only once something becomes an actual ordinance. Only some items have one.
The file number and the ordinance number both begin with the year, which makes them look related. They are not: they count different things. On this agenda, file 26-324 became Ordinance 26-39, while the earlier file 26-295 became Ordinance 26-46.
