are topics the public will want to discuss and putting that on the agenda gives the impression

in its 56th year in the community and thanked Mayor Hart for coming to the event on Saturday.
She shared that the Mayor truly has a servant's heart.

Feuss/Boesen
Motion to postpone until May 1, 2023. Roll Call Vote: Ayes -Four. Nays: Grieder and Nichols.
Motion Carried.
Mr. Boesen commented that with everything going on at the state house, he would like to see
this postponed until after the state legislative acts so we won't be in violation of anything they
might pass.
Mr. Grieder commented that he can understand that there are people who don't want to have
uncomfortable conversations, but he does not believe we have the option to wait. He is
opposed to postponing the item.
Mr. Feuss commented that he has received a lot of emails and phone calls from people and
stated that it is clear that people want to support LGBTQ+ individuals, but there is some
unclearness about what this ordinance does. He supports the postponement because we need
to make sure the city won't be held liable in any way.
Ms. Wilder shared that a constituent contacted her and it was clear after speaking, that there
was confusion about what the ordinance would do. She supports a postponement, and
suggests introducing clarifying language.
Mr. Grieder commented that giving more time to consider the ordinance will not clear the air of
people who are willing to lie about the issue.
Mr. Feuss commented that it is the council's responsibility to counter the confusion with clear
information.
Ms. Wilder questioned if the language in the ordinance can be reworded.
Mayor Hart explained that any changes or amendments made after the first reading would
require the ordinance to start all over again.
Mr. Feuss questioned if changes were proposed, would there be time for council to meet prior
to May 1st.
Kelley Felchle, City Clerk, confirmed that there would be time to hold a work session prior to
May 1st, but the ordinance as it stands will still require council votes.
Ms. Wilder clarified to the public that this does not mean everything stops and confirmed that
the work won't stop here, something will definitely happen regarding this ordinance.
