The Opportunity Zone proposal could help attract private investment to underserved areas, although the workshop minutes do not record a final approval. Council deferred discussion of selecting and funding a consultant for the City/Port Mobility Study to the June meeting. Council supported better public education about Seawall parking tickets and exploring a return of the parking ambassador program; no action was taken after the executive session.
