Council Meeting Minutes for June 2, 2025 Page 6 of 7 perimeter of single-family lots. When a resident wanted to construct a fence on their property line, it was very likely it would be located the easement. Staff had been requiring that residents request an Encroachment Agreement from the City Council, which lengthens the approval process for a fence. The agreement allowed the resident to construct a fence within the easement, and stated that if the City needed to perform construction work within the easement the fence would be removed at the owner’s expense. Staff had identified a need to codify that a fence placed within an easement may be removed at the owner’s expense, which would streamline the approval process by permitting encroachments administratively. Adoption of the Consent Agenda approved staff’s request to work with the City Attorney on drafting text amendments to the fence ordinance, and to hold a public hearing on the text amendments with the Planning Commission. Approve Resolution to Close the Coronavirus Relief Fund and Transfer Investment Income The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB), along with the City’s auditors, recommend closing fund accounts when the intended use of those accounts no longer existed. As of December 31, 2024, all Coronavirus Relief Funding had been expended and properly reported. Investment income remained in the Fund and according to United States Treasury guidance, interest earned did not need to be remitted to the Treasury nor used for specific program-related expenditures. This investment income was not restricted for any specific purpose and therefore could be transferred to any fund designated by the City Council. Adoption of the Consent Agenda approved RESOLUTION 2025 – 23 CLOSING THE CORONAVIRUS RELIEF FUND AND TRANSFERRING INVESTMENT INCOME TO THE STREET CIP FUND.
