A. Request of Mayor Brock, Vice Mayor Negrete, and Councilmember Davis that the City Council direct\nthe City Attorney to prepare a resolution for Council consideration that recites that, while the City of\nSanta Monica is respectful of everyone’s First Amendment rights to free speech, in some instances\nharm can come from expression that is false and/or counter to the public interest. The resolution\nshould reflect the Council’s disapproval of signs placed upon a building along the 3rd Street\nPromenade that falsely state that the City Manager approves of the County’s “free needle and meth\npipe” program, as in fact the program is implemented by a contractor of Los Angeles County\npursuant to state law, and the City Council and City Manager play no role in authorizing the\nprogram. Further, to the extent that there is City policy on the program, the City Council is the\nsource of any such City policy on the subject, not the City Manager. Finally, the signs also may be\ncounter-productive to the community’s stated goal of economic recovery as they may deter people\nfrom visiting and shopping in Santa Monica at a time when the City’s retail, travel, and\nentertainment businesses are still recovering from the pandemic.\nNew Item Received 6/21/2024\nbility of significant effect pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3)\n(Common Sense Exemption) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)\nGuidelines.\na.
