The document includes a motion to keep fireworks and add a drone show for the 4th of July, and a discussion of a potential boat parade. The document also includes a discussion of a waterway access site near 731 Bayou Drive with construction materials on City property. The City Council agenda items are for second reading of ordinances amending the definition of 'beach' in the Land Development Code, Code of Ordinances, and Comprehensive Plan, changing the reference from 'mean low water line' to 'mean high water line'. The Local Planning Agency recommended approval of Ordinance 26-07-LC, which updates sign regulations, including prohibiting digital signage generally, with a 10-year sunset for existing signs. The document does not state a decision on the beach definition ordinances, as they are listed as agenda items for a future meeting. The document also does not state a decision on the Parks and Recreation items, as they are minutes of a meeting where motions were made. The document does not state any public comment for the Parks and Recreation meeting, and states no one came forward for the sign ordinance public hearing.
