Executive Summary /Discussion
Ordinance·Nos. CS-369 and CS-370 were introduced and first read at the City Council meeting
held on Jan. 28, 2020. On a motion by Council Member Schumacher, seconded by Council
Member Blackburn, the City Council voted 4/0 to introduce the Ordinances. The second
reading allows the City Council to adopt the Ordinances which will become effective thirty days

Fiscal Analysis
The existing FY 2019-20 budgets for the City Attorney's Office and City Clerk's Office include
sufficient funding for the cost of repealing the referenced Code provisions.
Next Steps
The city clerk will have the Ordinances or a summary of the Ordinances published in a
newspaper of general circulation within fifteen days following adoption of the ordinances.
Environmental Evaluation (CEQA)
Pursuant to Public Resources Code section 21065, the recommended actions do not constitute
a "project" within the meaning of CEQA because they have no potential to cause either a direct
physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the
environment, and, therefore, do not require environmental review.
