City Administrator Update
Community Development Director Kienberger discussed a possible downtown outdoor seating
opportunity for the city. Staff was interested in the city council thoughts on placing an initial
seating area outside of one of our local restaurants to provide outdoor seating to people
downtown,to ensure a good appearance of this type of outdoor seating that is happening and
to help control sidewalk access issues in these locations.
After some discussion the city council consensus was to try this at one location downtown to
see how it works. City staff will select a site and keep the city council informed on the success
of this attempt.
