BUSINESS OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HALF MOON BAY
AGENDA REPORT
For meeting of: October 18, 2022
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
VIA: Matthew Chidester, City Manager
FROM: Jessica Blair, Communications Director / City Clerk TITLE: RE-RATIFICATION OF RESOLUTION TO CONTINUE HOLDING PUBLIC MEETINGS REMOTELY (AB 361)
______________________________________________________________________________ RECOMMENDATION:
By motion, in accordance with Assembly Bill 361, re-ratify the findings in Resolution No. 2021- 80 to continue conducting the City’s Council, Commission, and Committee meetings remotely due to health and safety concerns to the public due to COVID-19.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact associated with this item.
STRATEGIC ELEMENT:
This action supports the Inclusive Governance element of the Strategic Plan.
BACKGROUND:
On March 4, 2020, Governor Newsom declared a State of Emergency to make additional resources available, formalize emergency actions already underway across multiple state agencies and departments, and help the state prepare for a broader spread of COVID-19.
Thereafter, on March 17, 2020, the City Council adopted Resolution 2020-16 declaring a local emergency due to COVID-19. The same day, Governor Newsom issued Executive Order N-29- 20, which suspended certain provisions of the Ralph M. Brown Act to allow local legislative bodies to conduct meetings telephonically or by other means. Additionally, the State implemented a shelter-in-place order, requiring all non-essential personnel to work from home.
Staff quickly worked to set up remote meetings via Zoom for all City Council and Planning Commission meetings. The Zoom meetings have allowed the Council, Commissions, and Committees to continue to conduct City business from the safety of members’ homes. The City has been utilizing Zoom for the past 18 months to conduct nearly all public meetings. The usage of Zoom for public meetings has allowed the City to ensure the public’s continued access to government meetings while also ensuring the public’s safety. 5
On June 11, 2021, Governor Newsom issued Executive Order N-08-21, which extended the ability of agencies to hold remote meetings through September 30, 2021, after which agencies anticipated transitioning back to public meetings held in full compliance with the Brown Act. In preparation for the return to in-person meetings, staff has been working on acquiring audio and visual upgrades for City facilities to conduct hybrid meetings. Although hybrid meetings would help to keep the public safe by allowing them to continue accessing the meetings from their own home, Councilmembers, Commissioners, Committee members, and staff would need to meet in person.
Since the Governor issued Executive Order N-08-21, the Delta variant has emerged, causing a spike in cases throughout the state. As a result, the San Mateo County Health Department issued a Health Order requiring masks indoors in public places, regardless of vaccination status, starting August 3, 2021.
On September 16, 2021, Governor Newson signed Assembly Bill 361 (AB 361), which allows cities to continue to meet remotely during proclaimed states of emergency under modified Brown Act requirements that are similar but not identical to the rules and procedures established by the previous Executive Orders.
AB 361 authorizes local agencies to use teleconferencing without complying with the teleconferencing requirements imposed by the Ralph M. Brown Act during a declared state of emergency, when state or local health officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing during the proclaimed state of emergency, or when there is an imminent risk to the health or safety of attendees.
On October 5, 2021, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2021-80 under the requirements of AB 361 to continue conducting meetings remotely. AB 361 requires the City Council to make the findings every 30 days, necessitating the need for this item.
On December 15, 2021, a statewide mask mandate went into effect due to a rise in cases across the state.
On January 10, 2022, in response to the surge of COVID-19 cases, Omicron variant, City Hall closed to the public moving services to remote services.
On March 1, 2022, the statewide requirement that unvaccinated individuals mask in indoor public settings moved to a strong recommendation that all persons, regardless of vaccine status, continue indoor masking. The San Mateo Chief Health Officer has likewise recommended the CDC’s masking guidance.
6
DISCUSSION:
AB 361 will allow local legislative bodies to continue to meet remotely after the September 30, 2021 expiration of the Governor’s executive orders. A local agency will be allowed to continue to meet remotely when:
• The local agency holds a meeting during a declared state of emergency • State or local health officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing
• Legislative bodies declare the need to meet remotely due to present imminent risks to the health or safety of attendees
The City meets the requirements to continue holding meetings remotely to ensure the health and safety of the public due to the following:
• The City is still under a local state of emergency
• County health orders require that all individuals in public spaces maintain social distancing and wear masks
• The City can’t maintain social distancing requirements for the public, staff, Councilmembers, Commissioners, and Committee Members in their meeting spaces The City cannot ensure social distancing requirements are met inside City facilities where the City Council, Planning Commission, Parks and Recreation Commission, Redistricting Advisory Committee, Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee, and Main Street Bridge Advisory Committee meet.
Councilmembers, Commissioners, Committee Members, and staff sit well within six feet of each other. Moreover, the County’s indoor mask order is still in effect, making it difficult to hear what Councilmembers, Commissioners, Committee Members, staff, and public speakers are saying. Furthermore, while speaking through masks may be understandable in person, picking up speech on microphones for those attending remotely and those watching any livestreams would be difficult.
Per AB 361, the City Council would need to declare every 30 days that the City’s legislative bodies must continue to meet remotely to ensure the health and safety of the public. Staff recommends that the City Council declare these findings are true so these bodies can continue to meet remotely. Staff will return with this resolution for re-ratification at the Council’s 1st Tuesday meeting each month, at which time the Council can reassess as various health orders and COVID-19 parameters change.

BUSINESS OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HALF MOON BAY
AGENDA REPORT
For meeting of: October 18, 2022
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
VIA: Matthew Chidester, City Manager
FROM: Jessica Blair, Communications Director / City Clerk TITLE: RECEIPT OF LEGISLATIVE POSITION LETTERS
______________________________________________________________________________ RECOMMENDATION:
Receive and file letter of opposition of the Financial Data Transparency Act (S.4295).
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact associated with this item.
STRATEGIC ELEMENT:
This action supports the Inclusive Governance element of the Strategic Plan.
DISCUSSION:
Annually, the City adopts a Legislative Platform to allow staff to send position letters regarding various bills / issues of interest to the City. The 2022 Legislative Platform was adopted by the City Council on March 1, 2022. The platform provides staff direction and allows the City, on the Council’s behalf, to respond in support of or opposition to bills and other legislative and administrative actions. The City Council has delegated its authority to the Mayor and / or City Manager to sign position letters consistent with the legislative platform. Townsend Public Affairs monitors legislation for the City and communicates frequently with staff on bills.
Occasionally, the League of California Cities will send action alerts for bills affecting municipalities. Staff reviews those alerts as well and will take action on any that align with the City’s Legislative Platform.
In the spirit of transparency, when position letters are sent by the City, staff will include them in a City Council agenda packet for viewing by the Council and the community.

The Honorable Dianne Feinstein The Honorable Alex Padilla United States Senate United States Senate

Dear Senators Feinstein and Padilla,
On behalf of the City of Half Moon Bay, I respectfully urge you to oppose inclusion of the Financial Data Transparency Act (S. 4295) in the Fiscal Year (FY) 2023 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). The bill, introduced by Sens. Mark Warner (D-Va.) and Mike Crapo (R-Idaho), would establish new, uniform financial data standards that the debt issuers, including local governments, would have to comply with by 2027 to ensure financial data transparency.
Our city is concerned that S. 4295 would create unnecessary additional standards imposed by the federal government that we would need to comply with within a short timeframe. Compliance with new reporting standards would also cost communities across the country a significant amount of money to acquire new technology and upgrade our financial systems. As proposed, S. 4295 would not provide any federal funding to assist with this transition, furthering the burden to communities like Half Moon Bay.
Additionally, financial data is not uniform across the issuer market that includes a wide variety of entities such as states, local governments, water systems, public power systems, public gas systems, hospitals and more. Imposing a set of uniform categories could omit valuable financial data and lead to confusing and misleading reports that investors and other stakeholders rely on.
For these reasons I ask that you oppose inclusion of S. 4295 in the FY 2023 NDAA. Thank you for your continued advocacy for communities across California.
Sincerely,
Debbie Ruddock
Mayor of Half Moon Bay

BUSINESS OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HALF MOON BAY
AGENDA REPORT
For meeting of: October 18, 2022
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
VIA: Matthew Chidester, City Manager
FROM: Maz Bozorginia, Interim Public Works Director/City Engineer TITLE: RESOLUTION OF SUPPORT FOR EASTSIDE PARALLEL TRAIL NORTH - SEGMENT 4 (CIP NO. 619)
______________________________________________________________________________ RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a resolution supporting the Pacific Coast Bikeway Connectivity North Project (Eastside Trail Segment 4) and the submission of an application for the San Mateo County Transportation Authority Cycle 6 Pedestrian and Bicycle Program Call for Projects.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The project currently has $700,000 of funding secured for construction ($665,000 of grant funding and $35,000 of local city match). The current construction estimate is $1,680,000, leaving an unfunded balance of $980,000 which is the requested amount in the City’s application for the SMCTA Cycle 6 Pedestrian and Bicycle Program Call for Projects.
STRATEGIC ELEMENT:
This recommendation supports the following Elements of the Strategic Plan: Infrastructure and Environment, Healthy Communities and Public Safety, and Inclusive Governance.
BACKGROUND:
The FY 22-23 Capital Improvements Program (CIP) includes a category for trail improvements including projects to complete the eastside parallel trail along Highway 1. The Eastside Parallel Trail Segment 4 project extends the trail another 0.3 miles from the end of the existing trail near Roosevelt Blvd. to Mirada Road. Improvements include a Class I multi-use path, comprised of an 8-ft wide asphalt concrete path plus a 2 ft decomposed granite shoulder on either side, a bridge over a creek and decks over several waterways. The project also includes mitigation for riparian impacts and the required mitigation monitoring during establishment period. The project currently has the completed 90% plans & specifications, draft environmental document, and we are finalizing the Caltrans Project Engineering Evaluation Report (PEER) and required encroachment permit.
17
This trail is an integral part of the midcoastside’s local transportation network that will link several other transportation routes in the area. The trail includes a direct connection to El Granada Elementary School, providing parents and students with an alternative route to school, especially those that live on the east side of Highway 1. The County of San Mateo is currently constructing the trail segment from Coronado Street to Mirada Road.
DISCUSSION:
The current estimated total construction cost including contingencies, construction management, inspection and testing is $1,685,000. This amount includes a revised construction estimate based on the unit prices obtained from San Mateo County project’s recent bids received in Summer 2022. SMCTA considers the $350,000 MTC grant and City’s contribution of $35,000 (for a total of $385,000) as the local match, resulting a shortfall of $980,000.
In September 2022, staff prepared and submitted a grant application for the SMCTA Cycle 6 Pedestrian and Bicycle Program funding for $980,000. The application included support letters from Cabrillo Unified School District, Senior Coastsiders, Midcoast Community Council, Coastside on Bikes, Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee, and Silicon Valley Bicycle Coalition. In addition to the completed grant application, the City is also required to approve and submit a City Council resolution to SMCTA in support of the project.
The results of the application selection process will be announced by December 2022. If the funding shortfall is awarded, the project will be ready for construction bids by the end of 2023.
If not selected for this grant funding, staff will return to city council to discuss next steps and other potential funding opportunities.

BUSINESS OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HALF MOON BAY
AGENDA REPORT
For meeting of: October 18, 2022
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
VIA: Matthew Chidester, City Manager
FROM: Lisa Lopez Rossi, Administrative Services Director TITLE: Art Donation—Ken Paul Lozada Wood Sculptures
______________________________________________________________________________ RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a resolution:
1) Accepting the donation of “Innocence” and “Artemis Toe” wood sculptures created by the late Ken Paul Lozada, a Half Moon Bay resident and accomplished artist; and 2) Affirming the placement of the sculptures in the Half Moon Bay Public Library Garden; and
3) Authorizing Public Works staff to develop a plan for permanent installation.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The wooden sculptures, valued at approximately $7200, are being donated by the artist’s family at no cost to the City. If donations are accepted, the City will incur the cost of creating the foundation and the surrounding visual attributes which will be approximately $3,500.
STRATEGIC ELEMENT:
This action supports the Healthy Communities and Public Safety element of the Strategic Plan.
BACKGROUND:
Ken Paul Lozada is probably best known for his sculptures standing at the entrance of Main Street in Half Moon Bay, on the property of Tom and Pete’s Produce, although his many talents included music and drawings of San Francisco Victorian mansions. Ken started creating sculptures in the early 70’s, according to the book, Portrait of a Peaceful Warrior by Joanne Ehrich. He taught art for many years in Hawaii and California, which included serving as Chair of the San Mateo College ceramic and sculpture department. His sculpture garden has grown over the years, and he has become a local icon. Unfortunately, Ken Paul died in 2021 and until a group of concerned citizens came together his works were not being preserved.
The Ken Paul Art Group organized in April of this year out of a realization that many beautiful large and small sculptures created by Ken Paul over several decades were outdoors in various locations and not receiving the attention needed to protect and preserve them. Outreach was 21
initiated by Lois Paul White [Ken Paul's daughter] and their friend Joanne Ehrich to pull together a group of community members who knew of his work and had interest and/or skills that would coincide with Lois's goals of preserving and sharing her father's work with the residents of the Coastside and San Mateo County. An informal get together at Cameron's Pub resulted in a group of artists and art lovers beginning the investigation of the status of the works, and subsequently developing a plan encompassing not only sculptures but architectural and historical drawings as well. This continues under Lois's participation and direction.
DISCUSSION:
To date much has been accomplished by this group of volunteers, including retrieval and initial rehabilitation of well over 30 sculptures that were on the property of Tom & Pete's Produce business. Currently, rehabilitation and refurbishing of two (2) sculptures has been completed and it is Ms. White's desire to donate those to the City of Half Moon Bay for installation in the garden area of the Half Moon Bay Library. The goal is for these pieces to be on view for enjoyment and education of all who are in that space for quiet time, for meetings, and for social events.
Information about the pieces:
Left: "Innocence"
Condition: Base and central hole was treated with wood preservative (it is hollow) and it is stained 'colonial maple' and 'cabernet' minwax oil base stain.
Size: 16 x 18 x 41 inches.
Value: One list has it priced $1200, and a 1993 gallery price list has it for $6200.
Right: "Artemis Toe"
Condition: Base is treated with brown copper green wood preservative, and it is stained 'colonial maple' and 'dark walnut' minwax oil stain.
Size: 20 x 24 x 41 inches.
Value: Priced for $6000 and $7500 on the 1993 list.
At the Recreation Commission meeting on September 28, 2022, the Commissioners recommended approval of the donation with the request that City staff reach out to both Library administration and the Friends of the Library. After communicating with these groups, both have stated full support of the installation of the artwork in the library garden. Public Works staff have reviewed the proposed location and are prepared to finalize development of a plan for installation and maintenance of the sculptures.
The proposed donation of the “Innocence” and “Artemis Toe” wood sculptures is yet another example of how our community can come together to preserve its history and support local art.

1. Accept a loan of “The Spirit of Life Bell” sculpture created by Silvio J. Modena Jr., a Half Moon Bay resident and accomplished artist; and
2. Affirm the temporary placement of the sculpture in the City Hall parking lot through the end of the calendar year (December 31, 2022) in honor of Mr. Modena’s service to his country and for the service of all Coastside veterans; and
3. Accept the donation of the “The Spirit of Life Bell” sculpture contingent on City Council approval of placement of the sculpture.
By motion, provide direction to staff regarding:
1. Development of concept plans for a new public space utilizing the existing drive aisle and parking lot located south of the City Hall building; and
2. Design of the space to focus on “Service to Country and Community” with the sculpture being made part of the space design; and
3. Allowing Kikuchi + Kankel Design Group and community members to assist in the initial conceptual design work.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The operating budget of the City Manager’s Office is sufficient to cover the administrative costs of the art donation program. A group of community members have committed private funding to purchase the sculpture for donation to the City. Community members have also indicated a willingness to fund a portion of the costs of creating a new public space near City Hall as part of a project paying tribute to “service to country and community”. No estimate of costs is yet available and will be dependent upon accepted design and potential phasing. 25 STRATEGIC ELEMENT:
This recommendation supports the Healthy Communities and Public Safety Element of the Strategic Plan.
BACKGROUND:
Recently a group of community members approached the City regarding the potential donation of a piece of art created by artist Silvio Modena, Jr., who grew up in San Gregorio, the eldest son of an Italian immigrant artichoke farmer. Mr. Modena served in the U.S. Navy having joined with his long-time friend John (Farmer John) Muller. Mr. Modena creates bells from used high pressure compressed air cylinders. A more detailed description of his art medium is included as Attachment 2. Community members have indicated that they are planning to purchase one of Mr. Modena’s sculptures, “The Spirit of Life Bell”, and donate the piece to the City.
On August 24, 2022, the Parks and Recreation Commission received a presentation regarding the proposed sculpture and possible donation. The Commission heard from community members in support of the donation. Staff identified two possible locations for the piece. The first site being Kitty Fernandez Park and the second being Poplar Beach. During deliberation on the request, it was suggested that a location near City Hall would be optimal. Conversation ensued regarding the possibility of creating a new public space next to City Hall within a portion of the existing parking lot. The item was continued to September 28 to allow the proponents and City staff to better assess the City Hall parking lot option.
On September 20, the sculpture was temporarily installed in the City Hall parking lot. This installation was approved as a temporary placement (loan) of the sculpture by the City Manager pending approval of the City Council. This temporary placement is intended to honor Mr.
Modena’s service to the country and to recognize all Coastside veterans.
On September 28, 2022, the Parks and Recreation Commission received a follow-up presentation.
The Commission was informed that Steve Kikuchi of Kikuchi + Kankel Design Group agreed to work on conceptual designs with community members for a new (potential) public space which would have the sculpture/bell as a centerpiece. Following presentation and discussion, the Commission recommended as follows:
“By motion recommend the City Council:
1. Accept a loan of “The Spirit of Life Bell” sculpture created by Silvio J. Modena Jr., a Half Moon Bay resident and accomplished artist; and
2. Affirm the temporary placement of the sculpture in the City Hall parking lot at least through the end of the calendar year) in honor of Mr. Modena’s service to his country and for the service of all Coastside veterans; and
26 3. Recommend the City Council accept the donation and explore permanent placement of the sculpture within the City Hall parking lot; and
4. Authorize staff to work with Kikuchi + Kankel Design Group (on a pro-bono basis) to develop a concept plan for a new public space utilizing the existing drive aisle and parking lot located south of the City Hall building.”
DISCUSSION:
The proposed donation of The Spirit of Life Bell has sparked interest from a diverse group of community members. The conversation has expanded beyond a typical donation in which there is a clear location for placement to one that has evoked much thought about how best to recognize “Service to Country and Community”.
Staff is first seeking City Council approval of the temporary placement of the sculpture on the westerly most parking space adjacent to City Hall. As noted earlier, this placement was initially authorized by the City Manager in light of the approaching Veteran’s Day Holiday (November 11).
It is recommended by the Parks and Recreation Commission that the temporary loan and installation be through December 31, 2022. A resolution authorizing this is included at Attachment 1.
Staff is also seeking input from the City Council and community on the ultimate acceptance and placement of the sculpture. As indicated previously, staff had recommended potential placement of the donated art (pending City Council acceptance) at either Kitty Fernandez Park or Poplar Beach. Over the course of two meetings and community engagement, the Parks and Recreation Commission recommended the City Council explore the potential closure of a portion of the City Hall parking lot and creation of a new public space in its place. Steve Kikuchi is working on behalf of the community on potential design concepts for the space. Concepts have not been completed or shared with the community or staff as of the preparation of the staff report.
To help distill this item, staff offers the following questions which hopefully will help guide deliberation.
1. Should the City Council accept the “The Spirit of Life Bell” sculpture created by Silvio J.
Modena Jr?
Staff Response: It is recommended that the sculpture be accepted pending determination of placement location.
2. Does the City Council support exploration of the creation of a new public space abutting City Hall to recognize “Service to Country and Community” which may include display of the sculpture?
Staff Response: The driveway access onto Main Street has limited visibility for both drivers and pedestrians. Staff has envisioned closing this access point for some time due to safety concerns.
With the growing popularity of parklets, staff has also contemplated the creation of a public “parklet” space in this location. Staff is currently working with Nano’s on an updated license 27 agreement for their parklet which is installed over 3 parking spaces on the south side of the drive aisle. The City is also committed to retaining a visual corridor to the Historic Jail from Main Street.
These and other design considerations would have to be part of any public space concept.
Kikuchi + Kankel Design Group is preparing conceptual designs in an effort to better visualize the space and initiate a community dialogue. If the City Council is not interested in exploring, staff can inform Mr. Kikuchi and community members.
3. In the alternative to City Hall, where should the sculpture be placed upon acceptance of the donation?
Staff Response: Two alternative locations were presented to the Parks and Recreation Commission for consideration. Other potential park locations have been mentioned as well. Staff can return with additional details at a subsequent meeting. We are interested in any input tonight.
On a related note, Nano’s Ohana is utilizing a portion of the City Hall parking lot for outdoor dining space. The City is working with Nano’s on a potential new license agreement. This work will parallel any other work related to potential closure of the parking lot and/or design of a public space. The City Council is the final approving authority on a new license agreement or lease.
CONCLUSION:
As noted in the recommendations, staff is requesting formal actions by resolution as well as guidance on potential creation of a new public space in a portion of the City Hall parking lot.
Based upon Council guidance, staff will work with community members and the Parks and Recreation Commission on further refined recommendations. Final approval remains with the City Council.

Any decision regarding the conversion of this area to 31 new public space can only be made by the City Council. We would also assume community engagement effort as part of any final deliberation or decision. At this point in time, staff suggests categorizing the current effort as “exploratory in nature”.
On September 20, the sculpture was temporarily installed in the City Hall parking lot. This installation was approved by the City Manager in honor of Mr. Modena and other veterans of the coastside.

BUSINESS OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HALF MOON BAY
AGENDA REPORT
For meeting of: October 18, 2022
TO: Honorable City Council
VIA: Matthew Chidester, City Manager
FROM: John Doughty, Interim Assistant City Manager
TITLE: CONTINUED STUDY SESSION--FEEDING OF WILDLIFE
______________________________________________________________________________ RECOMMENDATION:
Receive a presentation from the Peninsula Humane Society regarding the feeding of wildlife, accept public comment, and consider whether additional or clarifying direction to staff is warranted.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The operating budget of the City Manager’s Office and City Attorney’s Office is sufficient to cover the cost of research and ordinance preparation in Fiscal Year 2022-23.
STRATEGIC ELEMENT:
This recommendation supports the Healthy Communities and Public Safety Element of the Strategic Plan.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
On August 16, 2022, the City Council agreed to the placement of an item on a future agenda regarding the feeding of wildlife by visitors and community members, notably carnivorous birds such as ravens and crows. The request was at the behest of a group of residents that believe the practice is deleterious to the local environment. They have advocated for a local ordinance to restrict the feeding of such birds in Half Moon Bay.
On September 21, 2022, the City Manager and Interim Assistant City Manager met with a group of residents to discuss their concerns and to receive an update on their research regarding protection of wildlife. Their research material was provided in the October 4 staff report.
Research confirms that raven and crows are members of the Corvidae family and more specifically the Corvus genus. These birds are indigenous to California and most of the United States. These birds are carnivorous and often compete with raptors and other birds of prey for food wherever they coexist.
35
City staff has communicated with two local bird experts. These experts indicate that feeding of Corvus is problematic for the following reasons:
1) Regular feeding can and often leads to concentration of Corvus where naturally they would not concentrate; and
2) Concentration of Corvus leads to unnatural increases in population; and 3) Increased population means greater competition for food and habitat with raptors and other birds of prey; and
4) Ultimately, this could result in loss of raptors and birds of prey in the coastal bluff area which could be detrimental to the health of the habitat of this and other areas on the Coastside.
Note 1: The experts also indicate that feral cats represent a threat to many local and migratory birds in Half Moon Bay and on the Coastside.
Note 2: The experts indicated that small backyard bird feeders are important and that any proposed regulations should not preclude them.
On October 4, 2022, the City Council conducted a workshop on the issue. Several members of the public spoke advocating for the preparation of an ordinance to restrict the feeding of wildlife in the City limits of Half Moon Bay. Following the public input, the City Council deliberated on the subject. The City Council requested that staff seek input from other local experts. The Peninsula Humane Society was contacted and agreed to send one of their wildlife specialists to speak to the community and City Council.
Conclusion
California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) have regulations in place that prohibit the feeding of wildlife in the State. CDFW has limited resources and capacity to respond to and engage in enforcement in the City. The City of Half Moon Bay has the authority to regulate the feeding of wildlife by local ordinance and there are examples from other California communities to base such regulations upon. The primary issue for the City relates to logistics and successful enforcement of a local ordinance.
