Rules Committee forwards Sober Living extension for ordinance drafting amid date clarification

Ms. Riffle reported that her Rules Committee met before the council session and decided to forward feral‑cats controls and a Sober Living extension to the Law Director for drafting. The committee discussed an additional year for the Sober Living extension but also set a completion requirement; members differed on whether the extension should conclude on Dec. 31, 2027 or be a strict one‑year extension.

City Law Director Mr. Webster said that extending "for a year" from the current point would end in September 2027; Council President Mr. Martin said the intent should be a year from the extension date, which would be September 2027. The committee asked Mr. Webster to draft legislation that reflects the council’s direction.
