Councilor Poling recalled that several months earlier they had taken action to extend the deadlines on applications. City Manager Ruiz responded that what they had said was that if a permit had not expired, it could be extended a few years. Councilor Poling said this company had done its due diligence and submitted its application which would expire in June, and now had to come up with nearly a half million dollars in order to start "turning up dirt." He was interested in seeing whether they could take some immediate action in order to defer collection of the SDCs until the project was completed. Councilor Brown thanked everyone for their testimony. He asked if it would be possible to reinstate the request for NCS. City Attorney Emily Jerome responded that the council had the power to do so, but it would involve moving funding around and having to take some line items from the recommendation. Councilor Brown asked how to proceed. Ms. Jerome replied that he would have to table it to the work session scheduled for April 28 and a revised motion could be presented. Councilor Brown indicated his intent to do so. Councilor Taylor thanked everyone for coming down and providing input. She was not in favor of deferring SDCs for any business that was not in the downtown area. Regarding the NCS, she asked if CDBG funds could be used. City Manager Ruiz affirmed that they could. Councilor Taylor agreed that they should consider taking more time on the CDBG allocations. Mayor Piercy closed by emphasizing that the council and community valued the NCS and its students. 2.
