Ms. Dickinson also stated that the use of heat and air conditioning may be required in the facilities during the class time; however, they are generally on regardless of facility use, and that some classes may be outside. Ms. Dickinson stated that the Parks & Community Services Department is working on providing more community programming at the Ranch Park, and after meeting the Temperleys at a conference, she liked the program and thought it would be a great place to start. The class requires minimal staff supervision, and there is no additional staff required for the class. Mayor Pro Tern Foulds continued and discussed with staff the pay and fee structure of the class and felt that there may be an incentive for the contractor to keep class membership low in order to maintain the most optimal compensation. Mariana Espinoza explained that the contractor is not involved in, nor do they control class registration. The City will be responsible for registering members and processing payments through the Active Net System, and that at the end of each month staff will submit a check request to the City Treasurer for contractor compensation as stipulated in the agreement. Lynne Dickinson added that the class is not intended as a revenue source, but rather as a benefit to the community. Mayor Pro Tern expressed concerns that the agreement does not require a rental fee for City facilities to be used as classroom space; and asked applicant if they have contracts like this with any other nearby cities. Applicant Damien Temperley stated he has a contract with the City of Austin where he pays for rental space to conduct his classes, and that he is in talks with the City of Bee Caves to hold classes in that community but has not gotten as far as a drafting a contract yet. Mayor Purcell directed staff to renegotiate the contract to come up with a better fee structure and a more advantageous split for the City in order to cover the City's costs. Council Member Manassian agreed and requested that staff provide more clarity in the Payment & Fees section. Council Member Kroll expressed concerns regarding audit controls and reimbursements through the Active Net System. Gina Gillis confirmed that the system will provide staff the ability to perform audits. Mariana Espinoza explained that reimbursements to the contractor will not be done through system, and that staff will submit a check request to the Finance Department.

The City Council discussed political signs and how they fit into the proposed ordinance. Laura Mueller explained that state law now prohibits the differentiation between political signs and any other signs and will have to adhere to the same rules as commercial signs or residential signs in relation to where the sign is displayed. Council Member Kroll asked if there was a way to limit the size and amount of time a sign is displayed in relation to a date certain. Laura Mueller said the change would be defensible, but issues may arise. She can give the City Council some options not in the draft for changes regarding sign size, the number of signs allowed per site and the amount of time the sign can be displayed.
