City Council Informational • 4 PM • Tuesday May 7
We will get an update on the Levitt Shell, Future Growth areas and a Water Connection Fee ordinance. There is also an executive session, and if I was a guessing man it’s probably about the parking ramp.
City Council Regular Meeting • 7 PM • Tuesday May 8
Item #7, Approval of Contracts/Agreements
There is an item to renovate the baseball fields at Terrace Park. Wondering when they are going to reset the walkway stones?
There is an item for $50K for legal counsel pertaining to the parking ramp. The FIRM handling it has a division in construction;
We help drive real estate and construction projects forward using innovative strategies to ensure smooth completion and mitigate risk. Our deep bench includes lawyers who advocate when real estate and construction disputes arise,
Item #29, Beer license, new brewery at the Cascade
Item #50, 1st Reading, $1.875 million in surplus going towards 2019 road projects. Interesting, when Stehly suggested extra money for potholes she was told they had enough money budgeted. Now all of sudden roads are getting another big chunk of money.
Item #51, Resolution, Stehly is asking the housing summit doesn’t have a registration fee and be recorded by CityLink. With the current attitude of the council towards Stehly, this will likely fail, but it will be interesting to hear the excuses from the majority. I understand that there should be a fee for food, but that can be separate from the registration fee. The timing of the event is also troublesome. People who need affordable housing the most probably won’t be able to attend on a weekday.
Item #59, Resolution, Jeff Eckhoff will be appointed director of Planning. I believe Jeff will get full support of the council.
Mayor’s State of the City Address • 2 PM • Wednesday May 8 (at the Hub on SE Tech Campus – Correction)
Not only will this meeting NOT be a Carnegie Hall, it seems it will be live streamed on FB instead of on Citylink or via SIRE on the city website. Not sure how I feel about that. The mayor is probably doing the SOC at the Hub to talk about the proposed community college, which I think is a great idea if they can keep tuition and education debt low.
I would guess this Mayor will have to pause the address for selfies.
Sure, give the State of the City address away from the city center on state property. The message must be to live somewhere safe and prosperous out of town.
Great idea, give the city address on Fake News instead of faulty but factual Citylink and Sire. It’s so Trumpian.
Great. Another $50k in taxpayer money down the drain for more legal fees to deal with the parking ramp carpetbaggers Councilor Stehly warned us about. And, this blows up just as has-been Rex Rolfing crawls out of his cave with pathetic criticism of Stehly’s watchful eye. What an old fool.
Important correction – PTH’s SOC address is at STI (and not the University Center, SDSUSD, the Community College or whatever they’re now calling that facility on 60th Street North).
The HUB (Business Office, Paavo’s Pizza & Grill) is one of the buildings on the SE Tech campus. The map in the hyperlink shows the location and labels the HUB as building #7 on the map. There is an auditorium in the HUB building, so I presume that will be the venue for the mayor’s address.

Correct. The Hub building is on Career Ave on the west side of the street. I believe it’s the furthest south STI building on the west side of career Ave.
