City Council

CITY COUNCIL / CITY CLERK / CITY TREASURER / STAFF REQUESTS & COMMUNICATION Councilmember Avila seeks consensus from the Council to direct staff to jointly work with City Attorney to develop and present to the City Council for its consideration a legislative and regulatory framework by which the City could regulate short-term rentals by means of an Ordinance, which includes the application of the City's 10% Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT). Short-term rentals, also known as Home-Sharing, have become far more common place in recent years. Some cities in Southern California such as Los Angeles, have enacted a local regulatory regime that safeguards existing affordable housing stock and attempts to maintain affordability in the normal housing rental stock. CEO Zaldivar wants to communicate to the City Council the preparation activities leading up to the 4th of July, with regards to the sale and the safe use of legal fireworks, and seeks any further direction from the City Council. For purposes of clarifying the City Council Meeting Calendar, with the Fourth of July Legal Holiday in 2023 falling on the Tuesday July 4 before the Wednesday July 5th City Council meeting, it is herein clarified that the City Council Meeting of July 5th will take place as scheduled. Communicate to City Council that Commissions Packets will be sent to them for review and a Staff Report will be brought to the July 5, 2023 Regular City Council for appointment.
