Waterman Village / Putrón-Kenny Adobe restoration funding
Member Ashbaugh raised whether new funding for the Waterman Village tiny-homes site could help restore the historic Adobe there for reuse as a community meeting space — the building where the Commission on the Status of Women and Girls was founded in 1974.

Tree removals with compensatory plantings
The project removes five trees — three for the expansion footprint and two dead or dying street trees — and plants 38 replacements. The Tree Committee holds its own hearing on October 26.
