Edgewood Council Rejects Committee of the Whole Format for Advisory Interviews; Planning Commission and Council Set for Key Votes
The Edgewood City Council's only finalized decision in the past two weeks was a vote against changing how advisory body interviews are conducted. Meanwhile, the Planning Commission and City Council have scheduled reviews of comprehensive plan amendments, a business licensing ordinance, and more than $838,000 in budgeted expenditures — though minutes for those meetings have not yet been published.
Council Rejects Committee of the Whole Format (July 7)
On July 7, the City Council considered a motion to conduct future advisory body interviews in a Committee of the Whole format. The motion was moved by Councilmember Keith and seconded by Deputy Mayor Creley. The motion failed. No other decisions were made during the meeting.
Planning Commission to Consider Two Comprehensive Plan Amendments (July 13)
The Edgewood Planning Commission was scheduled July 13 to review and vote on two comprehensive plan and zoning map amendments:
- The Schober amendment (item 25-002-COMP PLAN)
- The West Valley Highway amendment (item 25-001-COMP PLAN)
The commission was also set to consider updates to the concurrency code, multifamily tax exemption policies, and landscaping standards. An action item addressed code amendments for electric alarm systems, fencing, and retaining walls. Public comment was to be accepted on any agenda items not listed.
Minutes from this meeting have not yet been published, so outcomes are not yet available.
