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. For example, file 26-324 became Ordinance 26-39, while the earlier file 26-295 became Ordinance 26-46.
