City Council

12C. Council Initiated Item from Council Member Jim O’Hara to amend Ordinance\n9.01.025 addressing sleeping in vehicles, by changing the affected hours from\n“10p.m. to 6a.m.” to “from dusk till dawn.” Environmental Considerations: The\naction being considered by the City Council is exempt from the California\nEnvironmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it is not a “project” under Section\n15378(b)(5) of CEQA Guidelines. The action involves an organizational or\nadministrative activity of government that will not result in the direct or indirect\nphysical change in the environment.\nRecommended Action: Direct staff to collaborate with the sheriff department\nand city attorney to update Ordinance 9.01.025 to create an ordinance that is\neffective “from dusk till dawn.”\n2025-08-13 Item 12C Council Initiated item O’Hara - 9.01.025
