Additionally, the council discussed potential charter amendments related to election processes and initiative signature requirements, with a consensus to propose moderate increases in signature thresholds to voters. Lastly, the council considered placing a lodging tax increase on the ballot, with mixed opinions but general openness to future discussion.
