Council Workshop Concludes with Playground Motion, Meeting Begins with Ordinances
The Grants Pass City Council concluded their workshop Monday with unanimous approval of a motion for the Parks Department to explore designs for a natural playground at Reinhart Volunteer Park.
A motion failed to increase the number of members on the Committee on Public Art from 9 to 11, and a request was made for a short executive session Wednesday to give the council updates on an HR position.
A Strategic Planning Meeting will convene January 15th and 16th, and a special meeting for the non-bargaining taskforce will meet January 20th at 11:45 a.m.
The Council will next convene Wednesday for their meeting in Council Chambers, beginning with a Public Hearing regarding an ordinance amending Development Code for Zoning Districts.
Council action will follow with an ordinance to municipal code providing clarification to better address public safety risks associated with open flames and flammable materials in parks and exclusion orders.
Appointments will be made to the Committee on Public Art and the Bikeways and Walkways Commission, followed by Public Comment and the Consent Agenda. After comments from the Mayor, Council, and Staff, the meeting will adjourn.
An Urban Renewal Agency Meeting will then convene for a resolution designating the City Manager as the Budget Officer.
Wednesday's meeting will begin at 6 p.m. in Council Chambers, 101 NW A Street.
