City Council Agenda Report Item # _____
Meeting Date: January 26, 2026
Subject: Authorize the City Manager to Approve a Purchase Agreement for a TYMCO Model 600 Street Sweeper
Recommended Action
Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute a purchase agreement with TYMCO, Inc., for the purchase of a TYMCO Model 600 street sweeper in the amount of $433,434.90, including sales tax.
Discussion
The Public Works Department - Maintenance Division oversees Daly City’s street sweeping program, sweeping approximately 12,500 curb miles of streets annually. Street sweeping helps maintain clean streets by removing debris such as paper and leaves, reduces dust, and removes metal particles and other hazardous materials left by vehicles. It also minimizes the risk of clogged stormwater facilities that can cause localized flooding during heavy rains and helps ensure compliance with local, State, and Federal stormwater regulations.
The Public Works Maintenance Division Street Section operates three street sweepers—two front-line units and one backup unit. The street sweeper identified for replacement is ten years old and has exceeded its seven-year service life. Replacing this unit will allow an existing sweeper to be reassigned as the backup while the new unit serves as a front-line sweeper.
The City of Daly City is a member of HGACBuy, a national cooperative purchasing program used successfully in the past. TYMCO, Inc. holds a current HGACBuy contract for its Model 600 street sweeper at a price determined to be fair, reasonable, and competitive. The purchase will be made using HGACBuy Contract No. SW04-20. The total cost, including tax and delivery, is $433,434.90.
California Government Code authorizes public agencies to use cooperative purchasing programs such as HGACBuy while remaining compliant with the City’s Municipal Code. Utilizing this program allows the City to efficiently procure vehicles and equipment.
Fiscal Impact
Sufficient funds to purchase the TYMCO Model 600 street sweeper in the amount of $433,434.90 is available in the Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Motor Vehicle Replacement Fund Account 55145300-55018.
Summary/Conclusion
Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute a purchase agreement with TYMCO, Inc., for the purchase of a TYMCO Model 600 street sweeper in the amount of $433,434.90, including sales tax.
Staff is available to provide any additional information desired by the Mayor or Councilmembers.

City Council Agenda Report Item # _____
Meeting Date: January 26, 2026
Subject: Set Time and Place for Public Hearing Under the Tax and Equity Fiscal Responsibility Act (“tefra”)
Recommended Action
Set Time and Place for TEFRA public hearing on Monday, February 9, 2026, regarding the issuance of an amount not to exceed $25 million of tax-exempt bond financing to finance development of multifamily housing at 493 Eastmoor Apartments.
Background
Eastmoor Multifamily, LP has requested that the California Statewide Communities Development Authority (CSCDA) serve as the municipal issuer of tax-exempt multifamily housing revenue bonds in an aggregate principal not to exceed $25 million. The proceeds of the bonds will be used to finance the acquisition, construction, improvement and equipping of a 72-unit multifamily rental housing project generally known as 493 Eastmoor Apartments. CSCDA is a joint powers authority sponsored by the League of California Cities and the California State Association of Counties created to enable local government and eligible private entities access to low-cost, tax-exempt financing for projects that provide a tangible public benefit, contribute to social and economic growth and improve the overall quality of life in local communities throughout California.
In order for the bonds to qualify as tax-exempt bonds, the City must conduct a public hearing providing the members of the community an opportunity to speak in favor of or against the use of tax-exempt bonds for financing of the project. The hearing is required by Section 147(f) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. The Code requires that the City Council hold a TEFRA hearing regarding the issuance of the bonds and adopt a resolution approving the issuance of the bonds.
Staff recommends that the City Council Members consent to hold a public hearing and consider adopting a resolution regarding the issuance of the bonds.
Staff is available to provide any additional information desired by the Mayor or Councilmembers.

City Council Meeting Agenda Report Item # _____
Props Meeting Date: January 26, 2026
Subject: Authorization to Perform Interior Concrete Restoration and Coating at Reservoir 6B
Recommended Action
Authorize staff to enter into a public improvement agreement with DN Tanks to perform interior concrete joint repairs and coating application for Reservoir 6B in an amount not to exceed $670,450, which includes a base contract amount of $583,000 and a 15% contingency.
Background
On November 8, 2023, City Council adopted Resolution 23-149 authorizing emergency seismic and roof repairs at Reservoir 6B. Structural seismic upgrades have been completed and most of the aluminum roof installation is finished. However, several interior components remain to fully complete the project.
During preparation for interior joint repairs, required testing of existing joint sealant identified the presence of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). Additional sampling conducted between November 2023 and December 2024 confirmed PCB presence in joint materials and adjacent concrete. The City retained Remedy Engineering to develop a sampling plan, provide technical consultation, and prepare regulatory documentation.
A Risk-Based Cleanup and Disposal Application was submitted to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) Region 9 in April 2025. USEPA approved the application in June 2025 and issued conditional approval of the PCB Cleanup Plan in August 2025. Final technical specifications for interior repair, washing, and sampling were issued in October 2025, allowing the City to proceed with repair planning.
Discussion
DN Tanks was the original specialty contractor for the reservoir and is currently under contract for remaining roof work. Because of their specialized knowledge of the structure and to maintain project continuity and schedule, staff engaged DN Tanks to provide a proposal for the required interior concrete restoration and coating work.
The proposed work includes:
• Interior joint repairs
• Surface preparation and coating application
• Coordination with PCB remediation activities to ensure structural integrity • Verification that surface profiles meet coating and repair specifications
This approach allows the City to complete regulatory-required remediation and restoration efficiently while minimizing risk to the structure and project timeline.
Fiscal Impact
This work was not included in the original project scope. Staff proposes funding the project in the amount of $670,450 from Water Fund 41 – Fund Balance to Water Capital Fund, Emergency Design & Repair Services Reservoir 6B (Account 441-721-00-55108). Sufficient capital reserve funds are available.
Summary/Conclusion
Staff recommends authorization to enter into a public improvement agreement with DN Tanks for interior concrete restoration and coating at Reservoir 6B in an amount not to exceed $670,450. This work is necessary to complete regulatory-required PCB remediation, restore the interior structure, and return the reservoir to full service.
Staff is available to answer any questions.

Daly City, CA 94015
Attn: Michael T. Patolo
Water and Wastewater Maintenance Manager
RE: Reservoir 6B Interior Coating and Joint Rehabilitation Daly City, CA
Dear Mr. Patolo
As requested, DN has put together a budgetary estimate to provide the interior coating application and interior joint repairs, which corresponds to the USEPA PCB Cleanup Plan approval that you provided us with.
Background Information and Assumed Remediation Contractors Scope of Work:
The USEPA document indicates that the reservoir has joint and crack sealant that contains PCBs. As you had indicated, Daly City is planning to request quotes from remediation contractors to perform the necessary PCB remediation, which shall include removal of concrete of 12” from both sides of the vertical wall joints, and 18” wide from both sides of the floor joints and crack repairs, all with a uniform depth of removal of 1”. It is assumed that the remediation contractor shall perform the necessary surface preparation on the interior walls and floor (which shall include hydro- blasting/sandblasting/abrasive blasting, etc.) to achieve the necessary concrete surface profile (CSP) in conformance with the coating manufacturer's requirements. This is required to be performed by the remediation contractor, as it is assumed the interior concrete surface may have trace amounts of PCBs, and would need to be disposed of properly.
DN Proposed Scope of Work
Upon completion of the necessary concrete removal remediation and interior surface preparation, the interior locations (floor joints, wall joints, floor cracks) will be restored with a high-strength repair mortar. The interior walls, floor, and restored concrete will be coated with Sikagard 62 – 100% solids epoxy coating system. The USEPA had provided Daly City with this product request for the interior coating system.
The following includes the description of work and pricing for the scope of work proposed by DN. In addition, the assumptions for work are outlined, as well as the services and scope that shall be provided to DN by others.
Interior Concrete Restoration
Provide all labor, equipment, materials and incidentals required to restore the interior concrete locations where the remediation contractor removed the highly concentrated PCB concrete. This includes all of the vertical wall joints, floor joints, and previously repair floor cracks. The restored areas include the following width and depth - Wall Joints: 2’ wide and 1” deep on full vertical wall joints (1’ wide on both sides of joint). Floor Joints: 3’ wide and 1” deep on floor joints (1’-6” wide on both sides of joint). Floor Crack Repairs: 3’ wide and 1” deep on previously repaired floor cracks (1’-6” wide on both sides of floor crack repairs). DN shall restore these locations with a high-strength repair mortar.
Interior Concrete Coating Application
Provide all labor, equipment, materials and incidentals required to apply a full interior coating system to the interior walls and floor of the existing reservoir. The USEPA had previously provided Daly City with the product selection for the coating system – Sikagard-62, which is a 100% solids epoxy coating system.
Pricing:
Description of Work Pricing
Interior Concrete Restoration $243,000.00
Interior Concrete Coating Application $340,000.00
Total: $583,000.00
Assumptions:
DN recommends the owner includes a 10% contingency to account for any general conditions/scope changes.
Water for construction is provided to DN at no cost.
Pricing includes prevailing wage rates. DN is a Union contractor Remediation Contractor/Owner shall perform USEPA wipe test. DN assumes wash water shall be drained through tank on-site. Permits, fees, taxes, insurance or bonds are excluded. Remediation Contractor shall perform necessary concrete surface preparation to achieve concrete surface profile as required by coating manufacturers prior to DN mobilization. DN and/or Sika rep shall inspect surface preparation to confirm it meets the coating manufacturer's requirements.
If PCBs are detected upon wipe tests – Remediation Contractor shall perform necessary remediation services. This is outside of DN’s responsibility and scope of work. Owner shall be responsible for filling of reservoir and necessary water quality testing.
If I can be of any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
Dan Gancher

GLOSSARY OF INVESTMENT TERMS ........................................................................ 18
I. INTRODUCTION
Moneys not required for immediate expenditure by the City of Daly City shall be invested in compliance with governing provisions of law and this policy. The City will maintain adequate cash availability while ensuring that principal invested is protected from loss. Only after those two overriding requirements are met will the City strive for maximum yield on invested idle funds.
II. SCOPE
This investment policy applies to all financial assets under direct control of the City of Daly City.
These funds are accounted for in the City's Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) and include the General Fund, Special Revenue Funds, Capital Project Fund, Enterprise Funds, Internal Service Funds, certain Agency Funds, and other funds that may be created from time to time.
This policy does not apply to investment activities of moneys held by a trustee or fiscal agent and pledged to the payment or security of bonds or other indebtedness, or obligations under a lease, installment sale, or certificates of participation, or assets of the City-sponsored Deferred Compensation Plan. Such funds are invested in accordance with statutory provisions governing the issuance, or in accordance with the ordinance, resolution, indenture, or agreement of the City which provides for the issuance, or the instructions of the participants. These funds are identified in the ACFR as Cash with Fiscal Agent, debt service components of certain Enterprise Funds, or as Amounts Due Participants in the Deferred Compensation Plan.
III. INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES
The primary objectives, in priority order, of the City of Daly City's investment activities shall be:
A. Safety
Safety of principal is the foremost objective of the investment program. Investments shall be undertaken in a manner that seeks to ensure the preservation of capital in the overall portfolio. The goal will be to mitigate credit risk and interest rate risk.
B. Liquidity
The investment portfolio shall remain sufficiently liquid to meet all operating requirements that may be reasonably anticipated.
C. Return on Investments
The investment portfolio will be designed with the objective of attaining a market rate of return throughout budgetary and economic cycles, taking into account the investment risk constraints for safety and liquidity needs.
IV. STANDARDS OF CARE
A. Prudence
The City adheres to the guidance provided by the "prudent investor standard," which obligates a fiduciary to ensure that investments shall be made with the exercise of that degree of judgment and care, under circumstances then prevailing, which persons of prudence, discretion and intelligence exercise in the management of individual business matters, not for speculation but for investment. Exercise of prudence considers the probable safety of capital as well as the probable income to be derived.
This standard of prudence shall be applied in the context of managing an overall portfolio.
Investment officials acting in accordance with written procedures and the investment policy and exercising due diligence shall be relieved of personal responsibility for an individual security's credit risk or market price changes, provided that deviations from expectation are reported in a timely fashion, and appropriate action is taken to control adverse developments.
B. Ethics and Conflicts of Interest
All participants in the investment process shall act as custodians of the public trust. Investment officials shall recognize that the investment portfolio is subject to public review and evaluation.
Thus, employees and officials involved in the investment process shall refrain from personal business activity that could create a conflict of interest or the appearance of a conflict with proper execution of the investment program, or which could impair their ability to make impartial investment decisions.
Employees and investment officials shall disclose to the Finance Director any material interests in financial institutions with which they conduct business, and they shall further disclose any large personal financial/investment positions that could be related to the performance of the investment portfolio. Employees and officers shall refrain from undertaking any personal investment transactions with the same individual with whom business is conducted on behalf of the City.
All participants in the investment process are required to comply with terms of the Political Reform Act, Fair Political Practices Commission Regulations promulgated thereunder (2 C.C.R. §§ 18110 through 18998), the City’s Conflict of Interest Policy, including, without limitation, filing of Form 700, notification and recusal obligations, and Government Code section 1090 prohibitions.
V. SAFEKEEPING AND CUSTODY
A. Authorized Financial Dealers and Institutions
1. Broker/Dealers
A list will be maintained of financial institutions and depositories authorized to provide investment services. In addition, a list will be maintained of approved security broker/dealers selected by conducting a process of due diligence. These may include ‘primary” dealers or regional dealers that qualify under Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Rule 15c3- 1 (uniform net capital rule).
The Treasurer shall determine which financial institutions are authorized to provide investment services to the City. Institutions eligible to transact investment business with City include:
a. Primary government dealers as designated by the Federal Reserve Bank; b. Nationally or state-chartered banks;
c. The Federal Reserve Bank; and,
d. Direct issuers of securities eligible for purchase.
All broker/dealers who desire to become qualified for investment transactions must supply the following (as appropriate):
• Proof of Financial Industry Regulatory Authority certification • Proof of State registration
• Certification of having read the City’s investment policy, including a statement that the dealer shall make a good faith effort to ensure that recommended investments conform to this policy • Audited financial statements demonstrating compliance with state and federal capital adequacy guidelines
• Evidence of adequate insurance coverage
Selection of financial institutions and broker/dealers authorized to engage in transactions with the City shall be at the sole discretion of the City, except where the City utilizes an external investment adviser in which case the City may rely on the adviser for selection.
2. Financial Institutions
The Treasurer shall establish selection criteria for approval of institutions to do business with the City of Daly City. To qualify for consideration, an institution must have an office in California and that office must perform the transactions with the City. Additionally, all financial institutions who desire to become depositories must supply the following (as appropriate):
• Audited financial statements demonstrating compliance with state and federal capital adequacy guidelines
• Proof of state registration
• Evidence of adequate insurance coverage
Upon adoption, and when changes are made thereafter, the City shall send a copy of the current investment policy to all parties doing business with the City. Confirmation of receipt of this policy shall be considered evidence that the dealer understands the City's investment policies and intends to show the City only appropriate investments.
3. Competitive Transactions
The Treasurer shall obtain competitive bid information on all purchases of investment instruments purchased on the secondary market (excluding FDIC Insured certificates of deposit). A competitive bid can be executed through a bidding process involving at least three separate brokers/
financial institutions or through the use of a nationally recognized trading platform.
If the City is offered a security for which there is no readily available competitive offering on the same specific issue, then the Treasurer shall document quotations for comparable or alternative securities. When purchasing original issue instrumentality securities, no competitive offerings will be required as all dealers in the selling group offer those securities as the same original issue price.
If the City hires an investment adviser to provide investment management services, the adviser must provide documentation of competitive pricing execution on each transaction. The investment adviser will retain documentation and provide upon request.
B. Delivery Versus Payment
Securities transactions, including collateral for repurchase agreements, shall be executed on a delivery vs. payment (DVP) basis. Funds are not wire-transferred until securities are delivered into safekeeping with the City's third- party custodian. The custodial relationship is subject to an agreement for services which may be separate from the agreement for other banking services. The safekeeping requirement does not apply to LAIF, purchase of mutual funds or securities which are physically delivered to the City.
C. Third-Party Safekeeping
Securities will be held by an independent third-party safekeeping institution selected by the City.
All securities will be evidenced by safekeeping receipts in the City’s name. The safekeeping institution shall annually provide a copy of its most recent report on internal controls - Service Organization Control Reports (formerly 70, or SAS 70) prepared in accordance with the Statement on Standards for Attestation Engagements (SSAE) No. 16 (effective June 15, 2011.)
D. Internal Control
The City Treasurer shall establish a system of internal controls, which shall be documented in writing. These controls shall be designed to prevent losses of public funds arising from fraud, employee error, misrepresentation by third parties, unanticipated changes in financial markets, or imprudent actions by employees and officers of the City.
VI. AUTHORIZED AND SUITABLE INVESTMENTS
The City’s investments are governed by California Government Code, Sections 53600 et seq .
Within the investments permitted by the Code, the City seeks to further restrict eligible investments to the guidelines listed below. In the event a discrepancy is found between this policy and the Code, the more restrictive parameters will take precedence. Percentage holding limits listed in this section apply at the time the security is purchased.
Any investment currently held at the time the policy is adopted which does not meet the new policy guidelines can be held until maturity and shall be exempt from the current policy. At the time of the investment’s maturity or liquidation, such funds shall be reinvested only as provided in the
current policy.
An appropriate risk level shall be maintained by primarily purchasing securities that are of high quality, liquid, and marketable. The portfolio shall be diversified by security type and issuer to avoid incurring unreasonable and avoidable risks regarding specific security types or individual issuers.

Diversification strategies shall be established by the Treasurer and will be determined based on our investment objectives of Safety, Liquidity, and Return. There is no minimum Portfolio percentage and/or dollar limit for diversification. The maximum Portfolio percentage and/or dollar limits for diversification are indicated in Section VI, Authorized and Suitable Investments.
To the extent possible, the City will attempt to match its investments with anticipated cash flow requirements. Generally, no investment shall be made in any security which, at the time of the investment, has a term remaining to maturity in excess of five years. However, the City Council specifically grants the authority to the City Treasurer to invest a maximum of $14,000,000 of the City’s portfolio in Government National Mortgage Association securities which, at the time of investment, have terms remainin g to maturity in excess of five years. Additionally, the City Council may grant express authority to exceed this term for this or other individual investments.
1. Mitigating Credit Risk in the Portfolio . Credit risk is the risk that a security or a portfolio will lose some or all its value due to a real or perceived change in the ability of the issuer to repay its debt. The City will mitigate credit risk by adopting the following strategies:
• The diversification requirements included in the “Authorized Investments” section of this policy are designed to mitigate credit risk in the portfolio.
• No more than 5% of the total portfolio may be deposited with or invested in securities issued by any single issuer unless otherwise specified in this policy. • The City may elect to sell a security prior to its maturity and record a capital gain or loss in order to manage the quality, liquidity or yield of the portfolio in response to market conditions or City’s risk preferences.
• If a security owned by the City is downgraded to a level below the requirements of this policy, making the security ineligible for additional purchases, the following steps will be taken:
• Any actions taken related to the downgrade by the investment manager will be communicated to the Treasurer in a timely manner.
• If a decision is made to retain the security, the situation will be monitored and reported to the City Council.
2. Mitigating Market Risk in the Portfolio . Market risk is the risk that the portfolio value will fluctuate due to changes in the general level of interest rates. The City recognizes that, over time, longer-term portfolios have the potential to achieve higher returns. On the other hand, longer-term portfolios have higher volatility of return. The City will mitigate market risk by providing adequate liquidity for short-term cash needs, and by making longer -term investments only with funds that are not needed for current cash flow purposes.
The City further recognizes that certain types of securities, including variable rate securities, securities with principal paydowns prior to maturity, and securities with embedded options, will affect the market risk profile of the portfolio differently in different interest rate environments. The City, therefore, adopts the following strategies to control and mitigate its exposure to market risk:
• The City will maintain a minimum of six months of budgeted operating expenditures in short term investments to provide sufficient liquidity for expected disbursements.
• The maximum stated final maturity of individual securities in the portfolio will be five (5) years, except as otherwise stated in this policy.
• The duration of the portfolio will generally be approximately equal to the duration (typically, plus or minus 20%) of a Market Benchmark, an index selected by the City based on the City’s investment objectives, constraints and risk tolerances.
No more than 5% of the portfolio may be invested in any one issuer, excluding Treasuries and Federal Agency issuers, California LGIPs such as Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF), CAMP, CalTRUST, San Mateo County Treasurer’s Pool, and FDIC Insured/ Collateralized investments.
Investments into the State of California Local Investment Fund and the San Mateo County Investment Pool meet our diversification requirements.
The City will diversify its investments by security type, maturity, and institution in order to reduce market and credit risks associated with concentrating investments in specific security types, maturity segments, or in individual financial institutions. Diversification strategies shall be established by the Treasurer and will be determined based on our investment objectives of Safety, Liquidity, and Return. There is no minimum Por tfolio percentage and/or dollar limit for diversification. The maximum Port folio percentage and/or dollar limits for diversification are indicated in Section VI, Authorized and Suitable Investments.
To the extent possible, the City will attempt to match its investments with anticipated cash flow requirements. Generally, no investment shall be made in any security which, at the time of the investment, has a term remaining to maturity in excess of five years. However, the City Council specifically grants the authority to the City Treasurer to invest a maximum of $14,000,000 of the
City’s portfolio in Government National Mortgage Association securities which, at the time of investment, have terms remaining to maturity in excess of five years. Additionally, the City Council may grant express authority to exceed this term for this or other individual investments.
XI. PERFORMANCE EVALUATION
The investment portfolio will be managed in accordance with the parameters specified within this policy. The portfolio should obtain a market average rate of return during a market/economic environment of stable interest rates, taking into account the City’s risk constraints, the cash flow characteristics of the portfolio, and state and local laws, ordinances or resolutions that restrict investments.
The Treasurer shall monitor and evaluate the portfolio’s performance relative to the chosen market benchmark(s), which will be included in the Treasurer’s quarterly report. The Treasurer shall select an appropriate, readily available index to use as a market benchmark. Benchmarks may change over time based on changes in market conditions or cash flow requirements.
XII. INVESTMENT REPORTING
The City Treasurer will make quarterly reports to the City Council within 45 days after the end of quarter. The reports will include the following informational items:
• A listing of all securities, investments, and moneys held by the City, showing the type of investment, issuer, date of maturity, rate of interest earned over the quarter, par, and dollar amount invested.
• A description of any of the City’s funds, investments, or programs that are under the management of contracted parties, including lending programs.
• With respect to all securities held by the City, and under management of any outside party that is not also a local agency of the State of California Local Agency Investment Fund, the report shall also include a current market value as of the date of the report, and shall include the source of this same valuation.
• The transaction details of any transactions in the City’s portfolio, including reinvestments, purchases, and sales of securities.
• A statement that the portfolio conforms to this Statement of Investment Policy or the manner in which the portfolio is not in compliance.
• A statement of the City’s ability to meet its cash pool expenditure requirements for the next six months or provide an explanation as to why sufficient money shall, or may, not be available.
XIII. AUTHORITY TO INVEST MONIES
Pursuant to Government Code § 53600 et. Seq., with the annual adoption of this Statement of Investment Policy, the City Council hereby delegates the authority to invest or reinvest funds of the City, and sell or exchange securities so purchased, to the City Treasurer for a one-year period, who will thereafter assume full responsibility for those transactions until the delegation of authority is revoked or expires, in accordance with this Statement of Investment Policy.
XIV. ADOPTION
The investment policy shall be adopted by resolution of the City Council of the City of Daly City.
The policy shall be reviewed at a public meeting on an annual basis by the City Council and any modifications to the policy must be approved by the City Council.

City Council Agenda Report Item # _____
Meeting Date: January 26, 2026
Subject: Set Time and Place to Consider Adoption of an Entertainment Zone Ordinance Pursuant to SB 969
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council set the time and place for consideration of an ordinance to establish an Entertainment Zone program consistent with Senate Bill 969. Staff propose February 9, 2026, as the date for this item to be returned for Council consideration.
Background
SB 969, which took effect on January 1, 2025, provides cities with the authority to allow controlled outdoor alcohol consumption within designated public areas during specific events, subject to the adoption of a local ordinance. This new state law is intended to support community-based events and economic activity while ensuring public safety and regulatory compliance.
To exercise this authority, a local ordinance must be adopted. Setting time and place for consideration is a procedural requirement and does not establish or activate any Entertainment Zone.
Fiscal Impact
None is associated with this action.
Conclusion:
Staff recommends setting February 9, 2026 as the date to consider first reading adoption of the proposed ordinance.
Respectfully submitted,
Maybelle Manio Timothy J. Nevin
