Attorney

Obtain enacted beach parking permit fee ordinance text

Applies if: Clients buy, renew, or sell beach parking permits

Why now: The ordinance passed on second reading 7 to 1 on 2026-08-11 as Enactment No. 033988 and says it provides an effective date, but the matter record states that no implementation date is verified.

What to do: Pull the enacted ordinance text to find the actual effective date, because the supplied record does not verify one. Until you have it, you cannot say when the new beach parking permit fee applies to your clients.

Act before: After the next material record update

Request recordings explaining beach parking permit fee increase

Applies if: You are covering the beach parking permit fee increase

Why now: Council Member Cantu asked to pull Item 11 to vote no in the 7 to 1 vote on 2026-08-11, Lisa Yanez's position is not recorded in the minutes, and staff answered Council questions on 2026-07-28 without the answers being summarized.

What to do: Pull the meeting recordings and public comment records to find out what staff told Council about the beach parking permit fee increase and which side the speakers took. The minutes leave both questions open.

Act before: After the requested records are produced
