Christina Arcidy, Management Analyst, delivered the staff presentation. Ms. Arcidy reviewed the development of the potential ballot measure and the results of the April 2021 Special Election, on which the ballot measure was earlier placed. She displayed the proposed ballot title and said there have been no suggested amendments to proposed Ordinance No. 932 since the previous Council discussion. She listed the next steps should the Council decide to place a bond measure on the November 2021 General Election ballot, and she concluded by stating that staff recommends that Council adopt Ordinance No. 932.
Councilmember McGlashan moved to adopt Ordinance No. 932 authorizing the placement of a ballot measure on the 2021 November General Election ballot to authorize a property tax bond measure for park improvements and park land acquisition. The motion was seconded by Councilmember McConnell.
Councilmember McGlashan expressed support for the ballot measure as written, without changes.
Councilmember Roberts pointed out a potential error in the Ordinance language, with which Deputy Mayor Scully agreed. The intent of the language was discussed, and it was confirmed by Margaret King, City Attorney, that she feels the phrasing correctly indicated that should the project costs exceed $38,500,000, the City still guarantees completion of the projects. After discussing appropriate next steps, Mr. Norris recommended the motion be amended to give staff direction to fix any scrivener’s errors, should it be determined that they exist.
Councilmember Roberts moved to amend the main motion to include the authority for staff to correct any scrivener’s or clerical errors in the Ordinance. The motion was seconded by Deputy Mayor Scully and passed unanimously, 7-0.
The main motion, as amended, passed unanimously, 7-0.

Councilmember Robertson moved to adopt Ordinance No. 933 - Authorizing the Use of Eminent Domain for Acquisition of Certain Real Properties to Construct the NW Innis Arden Way Culvert Replacement. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Chang.
