Subject: 30-Day Extension for the Term of the Ad-Hoc City Council Expressive
Activities Ordinance Subcommittee.
Recommended Action
Adopt a Resolution authorizing a 30-day extension for the term of the ad-hoc City Council
Expressive Activities Ordinance Subcommittee.
Executive Summary
This item presents a Resolution authorizing a 30-day extension for the term of the ad-hoc City
Council Expressive Activities Ordinance Subcommittee.
Discussion
On May 14, 2019, the City Council considered introducing an Expressive Activities Ordinance
amending Carlsbad Municipal Code Title 8, Chapter 8.17 regarding special events and Chapter
8.18 regarding expressive activity and waiving applicable park user fees. The City Council
approved a minute motion, directing staff to return with an agenda item to consider forming an
ad-hoc subcommittee to meet with representatives of the North County Civil Liberties Coalition
(NCCLC) to discuss the proposed ordinance and present a recommended final draft of the
ordinance for consideration by the full City Council.
On July 23, 2019, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2019-135, authorizing the formation
of an ad-hoc subcommittee to meet with the NCCLC representatives and appointing Council
Member Blackburn and Council Member Schumacher. The subcommittee was to automatically
be dissolved either after 90-days, or upon City Council adoption of an Expressive Activities
Ordinance, whichever occurred earlier.
Following meetings with NCCLC representatives, Council Member Blackburn and Council
Member Schumacher requested that the term of the subcommittee be extended for an
additional 30 days to allow further meetings to reach a recommendation on the draft
Expressive Activities Ordinance.
Fiscal Analysis
None.

present a recommendation on a final draft Expressive Activities Ordinance for consideration by
the full City Council by the end of the 30-day extension (i.e. by Nov. 20, 2019).
Environmental Evaluation (CEQA}

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,
and therefore does not require environmental review.
