Subject: Formation of Ad-Hoc City Council Subcommittee on Sober Living Homes
Recommended Action
Adopt a Resolution authorizing the formation of an ad-hoc City Council subcommittee comprised
of two City Council members to engage community stakeholders, to listen to and discuss their
concerns and recommendations regarding sober living homes, and to recommend potential state
and local regulatory and legislative strategies for the City Council to pursue.
Executive Summary
Th is item presents a Resolution authorizing the formation of an Ad-Hoc City Council
Subcommittee on Sober Living Homes, as directed by the City Council on February 19, 2019.
Discussion
On February 19, 2019, the City Council approved a Minute Motion directing staff to return with
an agenda item to create an Ad-Hoc City Council Subcommittee on Sober Living Homes "with
limited duration, composed of residents and legal staff."
Given that ad-hoc committees can be comprised solely of members of the City Council (i.e., no
staff and no members of the public), staff's recommendation is that the subcommittee include
two City Council members tasked primarily with engaging community stakeholders and working
with staff to inform the committee's recommendations to the City Council.
The duties of the subcommittee would include working with staff to engage community
stakeholders, to listen to and discuss their concerns and recommendations regarding sober living
homes, and to recommend potential state and local regulatory and legislative strategies for the
City Council to pursue.
Since ad-hoc subcommittees are for a limited time frame, staff suggests that the subcommittee
would automatically be dissolved after one year.
Fiscal Analysis
None.

recommend potential state and local regulatory and legislative strategies for the City Council to
pursue.
Environmental Evaluation (CEQA)
Pursuant to Public Resources Code section 21065, this action does not constitute a "project"
within the meaning of CEQA in that it has no potential to cause either a direct physical change
in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment,

Subject: Sober living home committee agenda item
Good afternoon all,
I know the sober living subcommittee is on the agenda this evenings agenda to speak about formulating a committee as
approved earlier this year. am very excited to see a committee come together of council and community stakeholders.
It will be great to look at state, local and federal regulatory legislation in relation to these homes in carlsbad and the
surrounding communities. I am not sure how you will organize the committee whether it will be application process or
appointment or both, but i am interested in continuing to be engaged in this committee for Carlsbad.
Unfortunately, fortunately i will not be in town as my son has been called up to major league baseball by the Orioles and
i will be in Arizona with him since they made it to the west coast.
· I will look at the results of the meeting and am always available by phone 760 845 0318 or email.
Thanks so much.
Rosemary
