  • Here to state his opposition to rezoning of Baugh St .; went through PZ 4 yrs. ago, new Comp Plan stayed RRA, here again for rezoning.

    — Dave Johnson

    What this is about

    Related history

    The records I searched do not contain a prior Planning and Zoning discussion or decision matching this recollection about Baugh Street/181st, nor do they show a 2040 Comprehensive Plan action specifically keeping that area as RRA. The only related materials in the search results are general Planning and Zoning procedures and policy documents from the February 10, 2026 packet, which describe how applications, public hearings, recommendations, and minutes are handled. Those do not document the earlier site-specific rezoning or Comprehensive Plan history the residents were referring to.

    What this is about
    A resident recalled neighborhood opposition to a rezoning proposal four years earlier for the same general area.

    p. 1Meeting City Council Meeting — Minutes (2021-08-10)Clayton Connelly - 9030 184th Ave NW - The neighborhood was here 4 years ago and was all against rezoning 181st and Baugh for possibility of Bill's and G-Will Liquor store.

    Related history

    The records I searched do not contain a prior rezoning decision matching this recollection about 181st and Baugh or a proposed Bill’s/G-Will liquor store approximately four years earlier. The search results did include unrelated 2026 references to liquor licenses and liquor-related fees, but they do not show a rezoning proposal, neighborhood opposition, or council action for that location.

  • In July of 2020 it was directed that City Council be included in the letter that goes out to residents and list of residents names and addresses. In September of 2020 it was directed that staff follow the procedures listed below regarding Public Hearing Notices.

    — Councilmember Mary Rainville

    What this is about
    Council and staff recalled prior direction from July and September 2020 about public hearing notice procedures for land use applications.

    p. 115Meeting City Council Meeting — Agenda Packet (2021-08-10)In July of 2020 it was directed that City Council be included in the letter that goes out to residents and list of residents names and addresses. In September of 2020 it was directed that staff follow the procedures listed below regarding Public Hearing Notices.

    Related history

    The records searched contain a partial match, but not the July or September 2020 records themselves. In the February 10, 2026 packet, the Planning and Zoning Commission procedures include language saying Commission members and City Council members will receive copies of public hearing notices at the same time they are received by the public, and that development site signs will be erected when weather and staff time permit. The search results do not include a July 2020 or September 2020 meeting record showing the original direction, a formal vote, or the specific direction about including Council in the letter to residents with a list of residents’ names and addresses. So the records searched support that a related notice procedure exists in later materials, but they do not confirm the 2020 decisions or vote outcomes.

  • After we "closed" our meeting in July to discuss an employee's possible wage increase, I had a question as to whether it was legal to close a public meeting to discuss employee wage adjustments, since city employee wages are public information.

    — Mayor Jeff Pilon

    What this is about
    Mayor Pilon recalled the July 20, 2021 closed meeting and sought advice about whether it could legally be closed for wage-adjustment discussion.

    Related history

    The records I searched do not contain a relevant prior entry for the July 20, 2021 closed meeting or any recorded legal advice about whether a meeting could be closed to discuss employee wage adjustments. The search results returned unrelated 2026 materials, including appointments, Planning Commission candidate discussions involving Jeff Pilon, pension information, and an employee drug/alcohol/cannabis testing policy, but no matching minutes or decision on this open-meeting question.

    Related history

    The records searched contain only a partial match. The January 13, 2026 packet includes background data on Bar None arrests in 2025, showing 159 total Nowthen arrests, 119 of them at Bar None, with listed offense categories including assault, obstruction/disorderly, theft, rioting, and damage to property. The search results do not contain a prior council decision or a detailed history of the City’s dealings with VOA/Bar None matching Planner Stockman’s broader recollection. No formal vote or enforcement action related to VOA/Bar None was found in these results.
