Councilor Papé raised a point of order about disposition of the two pieces of testimony related to the transportation system maintenance fee (TSMF) when the record had been closed. City Attorney Jerome Lidz said the issue before the council was adoption or non-adoption of the TSMF; it was not a quasi-judicial matter and there was no record so the council was open for comments. Councilor Kelly thanked those who spoke. He asked about the staff response to an inquiry about the status of the McNail-Riley House and was concerned about any definitive action being taken without the council having a chance to discuss the matter. City Manager Dennis Taylor said the information would be in the Thursday agenda packet and he agreed that no action should occur without the council’s involvement. Councilor Papé thanked Mr. Singer for his remarks regarding a Santa Clara community park and said the City did plan to acquire property for that park in the River Road/Santa Clara area. Councilor Taylor also expressed her concern about status of the McNail-Riley House. Councilor Bettman thanked those who spoke and informed Rev. Winget that the new police auditor had been hired and an enabling ordinance for the Auditor’s Office would be considered by the council on December 11 following a public hearing. She anticipated that the office would be able to accept complaints and provide service to the community by mid- to late-January 2007. Regarding the McNail-Riley House, she was astounded that the City would consider selling it because it was part of an agreement between the City and adjacent neighborhoods related to the Lincoln School to provide the house for a community meeting place in perpetuity. She thought that selling the property would breach that agreement. Mayor Piercy thanked all who spoke and assured the public that no decision would be made about Civic Stadium without a public hearing. 2. CONSENT CALENDAR A.
