Resident raises planning‑commission process and street safety concerns; council discusses HOAs and RV sewer charges

During public comment, Diana Baker (speaker 4) said planning commissioners have been told they cannot comment at the end of their meetings and urged the council to allow commissioners to represent residents between meetings; she also urged clearer ordinance definitions of what counts as an "emergency exit" after describing heavy truck and equipment traffic on West Center Street.

Council later addressed Deer Run HOA concerns and clarified that HOA covenant enforcement is a private matter: the city does not enforce private CC&Rs and residents must pursue private legal remedies or work with an HOA management company. Council also discussed sewer billing for RV parks; staff said parks are billed based on the size of service currently and that a detailed review of RV sewer charging is on staff’s radar pending completion of facilities‑plan and impact‑fee studies.

Quotes: Diana Baker urged the council that planning commissioners should be able to discuss resident concerns, and staff reminded the council that private HOAs must pursue their own legal remedies rather than expecting city enforcement.
