Subject: Supplemental Project Information – Parking Validation Dear City of Hermosa Beach,
On behalf of 1601 PCH LP, I am writing to formally provide supplemental information about the parking validation system at 1601 Pacific Coast Hwy. CBRE/Turner & Townsend is the project management team working on construction projects on property and have counterparts at CBRE that cover Property Management. Below is a breakdown of how our parking validation system works along with Exhibits provided by our parking vendor, Metropolis.
Parking System Steps:
1. As a vehicle turns into the parking garage, the parking system will take an image of the license plate and track the time they enter, and the arm will open automatically so that they can enter the parking garage.
2. Throughout the property, there are signs noting that parking validations are available through the retailer they visit, please see Exhibit A, below, of a copy of signs on property.
3. Once the client has completed their activity or purchase for the day, the retailer will let them scan a QR code that is available at the front desk that will give them 2-hour validation. Please see Exhibit B, below, for an example of a sign that a tenant has.
4. The QR code will open a website that will have them input their license plate and credit card information.
5. The 2-hour validation will be applied automatically and if they were there over 2 hours, they will pay the remainder of the fee.
6. After the client has completed the prompts on the QR code, they can get in their car and exit the property.
7. Once they are driving out, the system will review their license plate and the arm will open automatically, since it will capture that they paid or were fully validated through the QR code.
8. If any clients are returning customers, the website will save their credit card information along with their license plate number, but they will still need to scan the QR code to get a 2-hour validation after every visit and follow the prompts through the Metropolis website.
Metropolis has also provided a cheat sheet as to how their validation system works, please see Exhibit C.

City Council Meeting - May 27, 2025
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 1 of 3
Meeting Date: May 27, 2025
Staff Report No. 25-AS-042
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council
A RESOLUTION TO APPROVE AN AT-WILL EMPLOYMENT SERVICES
AGREEMENT WITH STEVEN NAPOLITANO FOR INTERIM CITY MANAGER AND
APPROVE AN AMENDMENT TO THE SALARY TABLE
(Human Resources, Cynthia Stafford)
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends City Council approve a resolution for an at-will employment services agreement with Steven Napolitano for Interim City Manager and update the salary table to reflect a change in the salary for the City Manager (Attachments 1 and 2).
Executive Summary:
The prior City Manager announced her resignation on Thursday, May 8, 2025. As the City needs administrative direction, the Council met on closed session on Tuesday, May 13, 2025, to discuss options for filling the position on a temporary basis. It was the decision of Council to appoint the current Public Works Director, Joseph SanClemente, as the temporary Interim City Manager until another Interim could be appointed.
Background:
The City of Hermosa Beach’s Municipal Code §2.12.010 Office created–appointment– qualifications states the following:
The office of the city manager is created and established. The city manager shall be appointed by the city council wholly on the basis of his administrative and executive ability and qualifications and shall hold office for and during the pleasure of the city council. (Prior code § 2-7)
Upon resignation of the prior City Manager, the Council acted to appoint the current Director of Public Works, Joseph SanClemente, as Interim City Manager until another Interim could be appointed. Further direction was received to move forward with another Interim City Manager while a formal recruitment is conducted for the permanent position.
Staff was instructed to extend a job offer to Steven Napolitano, as an at-will Interim City Manager.
Discussion:
Mr. Napolitano comes to the City with more than 30 years in local government. Mr.
Napolitano is a former five-term Mayor and City Councilmember for the City of Manhattan
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 2 of 3
Beach and served as Senior Deputy to L.A. County Supervisor Don Knabe for nearly 12 years. He has a long track record of success on issues of economic development, public safety, infrastructure, education, homelessness, transportation, the arts and more. Steve is also an attorney skilled in administrative law and adjudication, has extensive experience with public outreach and engagement, and has worked with federal, state and local elected officials to solve problems and successfully build consensus among many competing interests.
Mr. Napolitano received his Juris Doctor from Loyola Law School and a Bachelor of Arts in Fine Arts from Loyola Marymount University.
Mr. Napolitano will be employed pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the attached Interim City Manager Employment Agreement. He will be an at-will employee, meaning that he serves at the pleasure of the City Council.
Council authorized an annual salary of $240,000 ($115.38 hourly). As such, the current Salary Schedule needs to be amended to reflect the new salary.
In accordance with Subdivision (a) of California Code of Regulations §570.5, a member agency shall have a publicly available pay scale adopted by the governing body. Staff recommends the following changes be made to the Salary Schedule (Attachment 2).

Some people who received this message don't often get email from [email protected]. Learn why this is important Hello Mayor, Council and Staff -
I wanted to take a moment and send an email regarding the above candidate for Interim City Manager to be reviewed on May 27.
I have know Steve both from his Manhattan Beach City Council tenure and as former District Representative to Supervisor Don Knabe.
As a former resident of Manhattan Beach, (now in South Redondo Beach), I witnessed Steve in action both as a concerned and caring politician and as a friend.
Steve has the qualities you want in a City Representative, smart, number-conscience, experienced with local government and personable. He loves the South Bay and would be a tremendous asset and resource to the City of Hermosa Beach.
Additionally, we own a condo in Hermosa Beach where our daughter lives with her family. I know Steve will have the best intentions of all residents if selected to run City Staff.
Respectfully,

Overview
Introduction
In accordance with the Municipal Code, the City Manager is appointed by and reports to the City Council.
With the resignation of the prior City Manager, the Council met in Closed Session on Tuesday, May 13, 2025, to discuss options for filling the position on a temporary basis until a recruitment could be conducted to fill the position on a permanent basis.
Background
The City of Hermosa Beach’s Municipal Code §2.12.010 Office created– appointment–qualifications states the following:
The office of the city manager is created and established. The city manager shall be appointed by the city council wholly on the basis of his administrative and executive ability and qualifications and shall hold office for and during the pleasure of the city council. (Prior code § 2-7) Upon resignation of the prior City Manager, the Council acted to appoint the current Director of Public Works, Joseph SanClemente, as temporary Interim City Manager until another Interim could be appointed. Direction was received to move forward with another Interim City Manager while a formal recruitment is conducted for the permanent position. Staff was instructed to extend a job offer to Steven Napolitano, as an at-will Interim City Manager.
Discussion
1. Mr. Napolitano comes to the City with more than 30 years in local government:
• Former five-term Mayor and City Councilmember for the City of Manhattan Beach. • Served as Senior Deputy to L.A. County Supervisor Don Knabe for nearly 12 years. • Track record of success on issues of economic development, public safety, infrastructure, education, homelessness, transportation, the arts and more. • An attorney with extensive experience with public outreach and engagement, Steve has worked with federal, state and local elected officials to solve problems and successfully build consensus among many competing interests.

Staff Report No. 25-PD-007
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council
PURCHASE OF PORTABLE BARRIERS AND TRAILER FROM ADVANCED
SECURITY TECHNOLOGIES
(Police Chief Landon Phillips)
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends City Council:
1. Appropriate $44,598 in the Grant Fund for the State Homeland Security Program 2022 Grant Cycle and add estimated revenue of $44,598 in the Grants Fund; and
2. Authorize the purchase of portable barriers and trailer, through a national purchasing cooperative, in total amount of $109,534.
Executive Summary:
The City of Hermosa Beach is the recipient of $109,598 in grant funds from the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services State Homeland Security Program (SHSP).
The City intends to use the grant funds to provide physical security enhancements for highly populated crowded areas throughout the City during special occasions and major events. Staff recommends authorizing the purchase of a trailer and portable barriers from Advanced Security Technologies through a national buying cooperative.
Background:
The purpose of the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services State Homeland Security Program (SHSP) is to address capability targets set in the urban area, state, and regional Threat and Hazard Identification and Risk Assessments (THIRAs). These targets inform the planning, organization, equipment, training, and exercise needed to prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond to, and recover from acts of terrorism and other catastrophic events.
CalOES recently restored the 2022 SHSP Grant Cycle which made it available to LA County Cities. The County of Los Angeles Board of Supervisors accepted the 2022 SHSP grant and has provided a Sub-recipient Agreement (SRA) to the City of Hermosa Beach for the distribution of $44,598. The grant funds would be used to enhance the cyber security network of the City and add a layer of physical security for large scale events and mass gatherings.
Last November 2024, City Council approved the 2023 SHSP SRA for another $65,000 of grant funds to be used to continue enhancing the security of the City.

All Ayes (5-0)
(Francois, Saemann, Detoy,
Jackson, Massey)
Discussion:
The Police Department secured grant funding to increase the Department’s capability to protect against potential threats during mass gatherings and special events. Staff researched different types of barriers and companies and decided that portable barriers would allow the Department to be flexible and adapt to the various events happening throughout the City. Portable barriers can easily be relocated to meet the needs of each event and can be set up quickly, making them ideal for any ongoing changes or lastminute decisions.
Portable barriers can also serve in other capacities for the Department. During accident sites, these barriers can provide scene security and extra protection to officers working the scene acting as a temporary cover and directing traffic into another direction. Creating perimeters can be done with portable barriers and are integral to maintaining safety and control when necessary. Barriers effectively manage vehicle and pedestrian traffic to coordinate response and safety efforts.
The Department is planning to purchase a 72-unit trailer and 36 portable barriers with the 2022 and 2023 SHSP grant funds (Attachment 1). With secured future grant funding, the Department would be able to purchase more barriers to place in this trailer.
Procurement Approach
Staff recommends purchasing the trailer and barriers through a national cooperative purchasing agreement with PEPPM. PEPPM, formerly known as Pennsylvania Education Purchasing Program for Microcomputers, is a program of the Central Susquehanna Intermediate Unit (CSIU). CSIU is an educational service agency in Pennsylvania and they focus on bidding for products and services to award shareable purchasing contracts for the benefit of other agencies, including cities outside of Pennsylvania. As a member agency of PEPPM, the City of Hermosa Beach may utilize PEPPM’s competitively bid cooperative purchasing agreement to ensure competitive pricing and expedite the procurement process.
On August 26, 2022, PEPPM issued a Request for Proposals that included modular vehicle barrier systems and other branded products. Advanced Security Technologies
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 3 of 4
was awarded a contract on January 1, 2023, set to expire December 31, 2025 (Attachment 2).
Per Hermosa Beach Municipal Code Section 3.12.140, purchases made through cooperative purchasing agreements, maintained by state, county, or other public agencies, are exempt from formal bidding procedures, allowing the City to expedite the procurement process while ensuring competitive pricing.
Environmental Review:
This agreement has no potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, and as such, is not a “project” subject to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) 14 Cal. Code Regs Section 15378.
General Plan Consistency:
This report and associated recommendation have been evaluated for their consistency with the City’s General Plan. Relevant Policies are listed below:
Public Safety Element
Goal 3. High quality police and fire protection services provided to residents and visitors.
Policies:
5.1 Crime deterrence. Regularly evaluate the incidence of crime and identity and implement measure to deter crime.
5.2 High level of response. Achieve optimal utilization of allocated public safety resources and provide desired levels of response, staffing, and protection within the community.
5.4 Physical design standards. Reduce opportunities for criminal activity through physical design standards and Crime Prevention through Environmental Design principles.
Fiscal Impact:
Staff would appropriate $44,598 in the Fund 150 Grants Fund for the 2022 SHSP grant cycle at Account Code 150-2109-4201 and add corresponding estimated revenue of $44,598 in the FY 2024-25 Budget. This would be in addition to the $65,000 from the 2023 SHSP Grant Cycle available to utilize.
Staff recommends authorizing the purchase of a 72-unit trailer and 36 portable barriers for a total of $109,534.

Staff Report No. 25-AS-043
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council
RECEIVE AND FILE AN INFORMATIONAL UPDATE ON THE RESIDENTIAL PARKING PERMIT PROGRAM.
CEQA: Determine that any modification to the Citywide Residential Parking Program is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act
(Administrative Services Director Brandon Walker)
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends City Council receive and file an update on the City’s Residential Parking Permit Program.
Executive Summary:
At its May 13, 2025 meeting, City Council requested a future informational item on the Residential Parking Permit Program requirements. Councilmember Keegan motioned and Mayor Saemann supported.
Background:
Residential Parking Permit Program
In 1984, the City of Hermosa Beach applied for, and was granted, permission by the California Coastal Commission to establish a preferential parking permit program in conjunction with remote beach parking locations and a park and ride shuttle system. The permit was most recently amended in 2004.
The preferential parking permit program was developed to discourage oversaturation of the City’s downtown and coastal parking, to provide free long-term parking at remote locations, and to allow residents within the impacted area to park beyond the one-hour time restrictions or without having to pay the meter at yellow pole/cap meters. The impacted area is bound by the north and south City boundaries; by the Strand on the west; and by Loma Drive, Park Avenue, or Morningside Drive on the east. Parking spaces on the west side of Cypress Avenue between 11th Street and Pier Avenue are also included.
In 2019, the City Council adopted a Parking Management Study that included recommendations to adjust the parking permits and pricing. In accordance with the approved study, City Council voted at its February 28, 2023 meeting to limit the number of residential parking permits available to three per residence and to increase the annual
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 2 of 6
price for those permits from $40 to $50. Additional operational changes to the program included:
Requiring proof of California vehicle registration at the Hermosa Beach address for all permits with few exceptions.
Limiting residential parking permits to three per year per residence, to vehicles registered to the residence.
One of the residential parking permits may be in the form of a hang tag with the rest in sticker form only.
A single extra permit, in excess of the maximum three Residential Parking Permits per residence, may be issued by the City Manager or designee, upon a showing that there exists a number of registered vehicles to different and unique drivers at a specific property, which does not have adequate onsite parking to accommodate the number of vehicles in excess of the three Residential Parking Permits allowed.
The burden of proof shall be upon the applicant, and the City Manager shall develop adequate application standards to the satisfaction of the City Manager.
The City Manager or designee decision shall be final.
Permitting the issuance of a new pass in the event of tenant turnover at a specific residence with a signed lease by the property owner of record. The previously issued Residential Parking Permits shall be cancelled upon showing of the new residents at any specific residence.
Elimination of the former property owner guest permit.
At its October 10, 2023 meeting, City Council approved the issuance of a single “guest” parking permit without the requirement of vehicle registration or vehicle ownership. The first person to apply for the “guest” permit per address receives it and the City does not make any value judgments or weigh competing applications between roommates or anything similar. Further, once the single “guest” pass is issued for the residence, the City does not issue another one for that year irrespective of resident turnover. The coordination of guest passes amongst new and former tenants and new and former owner residents is the users’ responsibility.
At its December 12, 2023 meeting, City Council reviewed and discussed issues that arose during the 2023–24 renewal season. City Council discussed possible solutions and directed staff to return with possible refinements for the upcoming 2024–25 season and those for a longer-term implementation timeframe.
Staff returned to City Council at its January 23, 2024 meeting with the additional program refinements including only accepting one address per resident; eliminating the replacement of lost or stolen guest permits; limiting Annual Employee Permits to one per person; and instituting a two-year loss of parking permit privileges for misrepresentation/fraud in applying for a permit or the misuse of parking permits. At the same meeting, City Council elected to raise the parking permit price to $60 per year, raise
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 3 of 6
the daily lot pass price to $150 for (12-hour parking), the 24-hour lot pass to $250, and increase the daily metered parking pass to $12.
To clearly capture and memorialize all programmatic changes in effect for the 2024–25 Residential Parking Permit cycle and future permit cycles, City Council adopted Resolution No. RES-24-7411 outlining full program parameters.
Staff presented initial Residential Parking Program feedback to City Council at its January 14, 2025 meeting and again at its January 28, 2025 meeting, codifying the current regulations in Resolution No.RES-24-7411
Past Board, Commission, and Council Actions
Meeting Date Description
June 6, 2018 The City Council held a Budget Workshop, with a Five-Year Financial Forecast, including recommendations for increased citation fees. At that time, the City Council requested a survey of all parking violations.
December 17, 2019 The City Council accepted the Coastal Zone Parking Assessment Study recommendations and directed staff to; 1) return to Council and the applicable City Commissions with the related implementation actions for each of the near-term recommendations; 2) incorporate the policy
recommendations into the Draft Local Coastal Program; and 3) if appropriate, draft an amendment to the City’s Coastal Development Permit for the Preferential Parking Program and Remote Beach Park and Ride System.
September 28, 2021 The City Council requested that City Parking Programs and Parking Management be discussed at a future meeting.
January 31, 2022 The City Council reviewed and discussed the status and priorities of the 12 recommendations in the Parking
Management Study and challenges of coordinating these
efforts with goal of Plan Hermosa and the City’s efforts to certify a Local Coastal Program with the Coastal Commission.
Council directed staff to move forward with the sale of the 2022–2023 residential and employee parking permits; place an item on a future agenda to enable Council to consider a fee increase; and restrict the sale of permits to out-of-state vehicles except for active military.
November 3, 2022 The City Council awarded a contract for mobile parking payment systems (Pay-By-App) to ParkMobile, LLC and
directed staff to explore opportunities to utilize the system to provide real-time parking availability information to the public.

Meeting Date Description
February 28, 2023 The City Council approved changes to the City’s residential parking permit program, employee permit program, and
hourly parking meter and parking lot rates.
March 14, 2023 The City Council gave City Manager or designee the discretion to waive the vehicle registration requirement, upon showing good cause, amending the previously adopted
resolution.
September 12, 2023 Motion by Councilmember Detoy, seconded by Councilmember Francois for staff to return with information on requirements for transferable residential “guest” parking permits for review and discussion.
September 26, 2023 After receiving the information item, City Council directed staff to return to its meeting on October 10, 2023 with a narrowly focused item to consider a “guest” parking pass program.
October 10, 2023 City Council approved a single “guest” permit for each residential address in the impacted area with no vehicle registration or vehicle requirement.
December 12, 2023 Staff presented a list of issues identified during the 2023– 24 residential parking permit season and possible solutions for City Council review. Council directed staff to explore possible refinements to the program and a resolution that would
encompass all areas of the program and supersede all
previous resolutions. Council requested both items for 2024– 25 implementation and those for a longer-term
implementation timeframe.
January 23, 2024 City Council received a staff presentation on issues identified during the 2023–24 parking permit season and approved
staff’s recommendation to only accept one address per
resident, eliminate the replacement of lost or stolen guest permits, limit Annual Employee Permits to one per person, and institute a 2-year loss of parking permit privileges for misrepresentation/fraud in applying for a permit or the misuse of parking permits. Additionally, City Council raised the parking permit price to $60 per year, the daily lot pass price to $150 for (12-hour parking) and the 24-hour lot pass to $250, and the daily metered lot pass to $12.
January 14, 2025 City Council received an update on the Citywide Parking Program and approved agreements with Parkmobile, LLC

directing staff to return with an item highlighting Residential Parking Program feedback for possible modifications.
January 28, 2025 City Council received an update on the Citywide Parking Program and City Council approved updating Resolution
RES-24-7411 with updated Program requirements
Analysis
The Residential Parking Program was originally developed to discourage oversaturation of the City’s downtown and coastal parking, to provide free long-term parking at remote locations, and to allow residents within the impacted area to park beyond the one-hour time restrictions or without having to pay the meter at yellow pole/cap meters.
The number of permits sold dropped from 8,926 in FY 2022-23 to 6,131 in FY 2024-25 (a 31% decrease). The number of permits issued for the FY 2025-26 as of 5/15/25 is 4,025.
The major change for the current open FY 2025-26 Residential Parking Permit Program involves the requirement to provide a valid California Driver’s License listing an applicable Hermosa Beach address.
A vast majority of the over 4,000 permits issued to date have been processed with no issues. However, staff and City Council have received various anecdotal feedback, mainly regarding the Driver’s License requirement for proof of residency and the limitations on granting exceptions.
General Plan Consistency:
PLAN Hermosa, the City’s General Plan, was adopted by the City Council in August 2017.
The efficient management of the City’s parking resources supports several PLAN Hermosa goals and policies that are listed below.
Mobility Element
Goal 4. A parking system that meets the parking needs and demand of residents, visitors, and employees in an efficient and cost-effective manner.
Policies:
4.4 Preferential parking program. Periodically study and evaluate the current inventory of public parking supply and update the preferential parking program. 4.7 Parking availability. Optimize parking availability through dynamically adjusted pricing and new technology to manage available spaces for short-term parking use to encourage rates of turnover that are responsive to fluctuating demands.

Parking Permit Requirements - comments for 5/27/25 council meeting From Terri Laine <[email protected]>
Date Tue 5/27/2025 11:08 AM
To City Clerk <[email protected]>
You don't often get email from [email protected]. Learn why this is important Dear Councilmembers:
I am writing to ask that the Residential Parking Permit requirements be put back on the agenda for discussion and amendments.
I am a long time resident of Hermosa Beach who moved out of state, but keeps a place in Hermosa for personal and business purposes.
I no longer keep a car in Hermosa due to the fact I have no garage and cannot move the car regularly for street cleaning from a distance.
I also do not have a CA DL because I reside in another state at this time.
The CA DL requirement and CA vehicle registration to a Hb address under these new guidelines preclude me from securing a permit in my 37th year as a resident of this address.
I have a legal lease, a permit postcard, an electric bill, a gas bill, an insurance bill, and bank statements to the 1203 Monterey Blvd. address.
I would propose the council re-think the CA DL and vehicle address requirement.
This new guideline is not only impacting a dual resident of another state, but others who use a business address for their "company" cars, and other LA residents that keep an additional residence at the beach.
For those residents like me that do not live in Hb full time, our permits would not add much impact to the neighborhood parking situation because we do not live there full time.
Instead, it is brings in even more revenue to the city.
I do understand there are people who take advantage of the parking permits and game the system. There should be a better way to flag the abusers and not penalize good citizens who do the right thing.
Hermosa Beach is a very special place to me, which is why I have taken the time to write to the council and push for this change.
Thank you in advance for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Terri Laine Klingner
1203 Monterey Blvd.

TENTATIVE FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS
Attached is the current list of tentative future agenda items for Council’s information.
The tentative future agenda provides a preliminary preview of topics planned for discussion at upcoming City Council meetings over a specified period, typically the next three months. The items listed in this document are "tentatively" scheduled, meaning they are subject to change and should not be considered final until the official agenda for each meeting is posted. This document is a work in progress and offers a glimpse into the City's priorities and planned discussions, allowing stakeholders to anticipate and prepare for potential topics of interest.
Key Features of a Tentative Future Agenda Document:
1. Tentative Schedule: Each agenda item is assigned a tentative date, indicating when it is expected to be discussed. These dates are provisional and may be adjusted based on various factors.
2. Work in Progress: The document is continuously updated as new items emerge, priorities shift, or additional information becomes available. This flexibility ensures City Council can address the most pressing issues in a timely manner.
3. Transparency and Communication: By publishing a tentative future agenda, the City aims to maintain transparency with residents, businesses, and other stakeholders. It helps the community stay informed about potential topics of discussion and provides an opportunity for public engagement and preparation.
4. Fluid Scheduling: The scheduling of agenda items is fluid until the official agenda for a specific City Council meeting is posted. Changes can occur due to various reasons, such as new developments, additional preparatory work required, or changes in workload or priority.

Landscape and Street Lighting District Assessment Adjustment (mail-in election authorization)
Initiated by: Council Direction Jul. 9, 2019
Public Works Director Council approved $25,000 in
the FY 2023-2024 Budget to
study the District rates and to
consider creating a new
supplemental district. The
study will seek to address the
annual operating deficit, so that
no further subsidies from the
General Fund or other
discretionary funds would be
required. The study should
include District-related
recommendations from the
Parks Master Plan, thereby,
shifting completion of the study
to FY 2024-25. The study is
anticipated to take
approximately 4 to 6 months to
complete pending staff
availability. If council agrees to
then advance the adjustment, it
will need to go to a citywide
ballot in compliance with
Proposition 218. The earliest
ballot would be in November
2026.

Consideration of licensing agreement/fees for use of City logo Initiated by: Council Direction Jun. 9, 2020
City Attorney The City will develop a
licensing agreement for
commercial uses of the City
logo as part of a comprehensive
Administrative Memorandum
(AM) on City Branding and
Logo Use by City Staff. City
staff will begin drafting the
AM after finalizing the City’s
style guide and filing its “Intent
to Use” trademark application
for the City logo with the
USPTO. As part of developing
a Licensing Agreement for the
Commercial Use of the City
Logo, staff will establish a
5 process for reviewing and
handling these requests. This
process will likely include the
negotiation of royalties and as
well as the preparation of a
staff report to obtain Council
approval to enter into the
agreement. Only after the City
receives the issuance of a
Notice of Allowance from the
USPTO can it begin approving
applications for commercial
uses of the logo.

Consideration of a Revocation Policy for Parking Permits Related to ShortTerm Rental Violations Initiated by: Council Direction April 9, 2024
Community
Development Director
City Attorney has opined that
the connection between
residential parking permits and
short-term vacation rentals is
strained, enforcement is tough
6 due to the way certain
properties are held via
corporate entities, and if a
property is used as a STVR and
gets caught, banning them from
getting a residential parking
permit in the future would
seemingly vitiate future legal
use as a long term rental.
Consideration of City to cover initial cost to establish Tourism Improvement District (TID) to be reimbursed by Chamber of Commerce (supported by Detoy, Francois, and Jackson)
Initiated by: Council Direction June 25, 2024
