A few <br />residents and others have questioned whether this review was appropriate. It is important to note <br />that the entire City Council voted to ask the Public Safety Committee to review the matter. It is <br />apparent that a number of council members had questions and/or concerns. Staff notes that the <br />City first learned about this project after a public safety incident where the police were called to <br />address a fight and public drinking. <br />The City has followed the municipal code in handling this project. The Public Safety Committee, <br />a sub-committee of the City Council itself, was able to devote sufficient time for review. The <br />committee now returns the matter to the City Council for action, as is provided in the municipal <br />code. <br />The Public Safety Committee review was thorough, and can be summarized as follows: <br />• Concern expressed with number of people allowed in the basement area and whether this <br />was safe. <br />31 B-1
