section 24-68-j parking on residential lots setting forth an effective date and declaring an emergency mayor members of the council here to provide staff report this evening again is rick st john deputy city manager mayor members of the council this is a request for council to adopt an ordinance amending chapter 24. we just talked about an amendment to chapter 25 chapter 24 now includes everything vehicle and traffic related and there are different sections of chapter 24 that allow for either civil or criminal citations what we've realized in our enforcement is that 2468 for residential parking did not have a criminal citation provision as discussed in workshop we will always pursue civil cases on the on the onset and after winning a civil case if the person doesn't come into compliance we issue we then open a criminal case and take it through criminal court so that there can be a judge mandate for compliance we do have a couple of open cases right now that have gone through the civil process on on this section of of 2468 and we are ready to take those cases uh forward on criminal charges uh for non-compliance uh that's when we realized we didn't have the provisions so your action tonight would include that provision into 2468 allowing us to first sight civil take it through that process and if needed go criminal so that a judge can mandate compliance and with that i'm happy to answer any questions i do have a question for you if if there was a violation [Music] and it was civil before and you didn't have this effective for criminal does the would this allow that to then go the same one that was cited before this was enacted mayor in speaking with the city attorney on this issue we can do that we are choosing to long form complaint one of the criminal citation one of the criminal cases so that this is enacted so we are asking for an emergency enactment here uh so that that case can be brought forward criminal on the other uh we're probably going to issue a citation in person through the police department that would help expedite that case but to answer your question the answer is yes uh we've taken them both on a civil front in front of a hearing officer we now need to go before a criminal judge and get mandated compliance okay and would you explain the difference between making this uh an emergency rather than a standard effective date mayor yes thank you we have two cases that we're ready to take forward if we wait for the 30-day period it's 30 days longer that those properties will be in violation if we declare an emergency we can move immediately essentially any other questions we have any speaker cards no sir all right any questions hearing none okay motion on ordinance zero two one dash five six item thirty one mayor

council makes this opportunity available to citizens to bring information and business before the council that is not on the print agenda council can only act on matters that are on the print agenda but may refer the matter to the city manager for follow-up if you're unable to speak from the podium please notify the city clerk and as we did with the lady earlier a portable microphone can be brought to you when your name is called before i welcome speaker's podium i want to remind this audience and anyone speaking tonight that this is a public meeting as a chair i will not tolerate any profanity aggression or threats to this council if you violate these rules you'll be not you will not be warned but you will be asked to leave immediately so with that i only have one speaker card tonight mr robert neubauer jr sir if you come to the microphone tell us the district you live in if you know it you have three minutes and that's pronounced neighbour excuse me uh my name is robert nabar jr i live in the ocotillo district won't talk about what happened mayor that's passed uh because the city council apparently lacks the courage to hold you accountable for it so let's talk about the coyotes i realized that the coyotes have not quite lived up to their end of the agreement whatever but kicking them out and thinking that you're going to book 43 concerts a year that might be a little more lucrative the arena out there averages 14 non-hockey events a year 14. the coyotes sell that building out 43 plus times a year and the 14 non-hockey events rarely sell out as much as i love sesame street and as much as i love the professional bull riding tour they just don't sell out what the people that are going to be hurt most by the coyotes leaving are the businesses around the arena westgate and the businesses aren't the only ones that are going to be hurt the people working for those businesses my gosh they just came off of a year of covid they're just now getting back and now they're looking at next season not having the coyotes there i hope that mr phelps is able to go ahead and book a whole lot of concerts and events that we will replace the millions of dollars of tax money that comes into glendale from all over the valley from coyotes fans that come here to watch the coyotes i don't have skin in the game anymore out there but i have a lot of friends and people i care about that do so i urge you work this thing out you have the season to work it out if the coyotes are in default by 300 000 probably a lot of businesses that are in default after this last year with kovid i wouldn't be surprised if they are also but let's not hurt the businesses out there around the arena they have a lot at stake too and we don't need to lose them as well as the coyotes mr phelps also why don't you leave the catlin court businesses alone that area doesn't need to be rezoned leave them alone they're doing just fine that's all i have to say thank you hey there being no further business before our council tonight i'd like to thank everyone for attending tonight's meeting there's no objection from this council this meeting's adjourned thank you you
