The City Council and Ordinance Committee will be rescheduled.
The City Council and Ordinance Committee are cancelled and will be rescheduled. Rescheduled dates for the various April 8 agenda items will be determined in the near term and noticed once confirmed.
On Saturday, March 5, Mayor Pro Tem Eric Friedman (District 5) suffered a heart attack. He is currently recovering and receiving medical care. We extend our sincere gratitude to the medical responders and healthcare professionals attending to Mayor Pro Tem Friedman.
“Out of respect for Eric and his family, and due to the significance of the scheduled agenda items, we have decided to cancel the April 8 meeting and return with the agenda at a future meeting,” said Mayor Randy Rowse. “On behalf of my Council colleagues, our thoughts and best wishes are with the Friedman family for a speedy recovery.”
We appreciate the community’s understanding and support for his mother, Celeste; his wife, Julie; and his sons during this time.

To cancel a meeting due to one member being unavailable is irresponsible. City business needs to dealt with in a timely manner.
What a kind, heartfelt sentiment from a compassionate constituent! How refreshing in a time defined by lack of empathy to see your understanding and gentle well wishes for Mr Friedman, as well as your thoughtful outreach of support for his family and colleagues who were undoubtedly shaken by his sudden health scare. What a wholesome message that serves as a reminder for all that our part time elected officials (yes, part time by the public’s vote) are people too!
DAVID – if only they had your telepathic wizardry, they wouldn’t even need meetings!
Still amazed how you could determine the profession of each and every protestor based solely on photos of a few! Man, if only everyone was a smart as you!
