ANTHONY NARANJO Anthony Naranjo stated that this issue was brought up by residents, and not by the Council. He stated his concern with residents hanging clothes on fences of adjacent properties or street -facing properties instead of clotheslines.
DIRECTOR SIMPSON Director Simpson stated that the Community Development Department received a question several months ago regarding clothing hung to dry on a shared wall or fence. Staff researched the Municipal Code and found no provisions that address the concern.
Staff conducted additional research of nearby cities, and the results are included in the staff report.
MEGZ" An online individual identified as " Megz" stated that she refused to dry her clothes in a clothes dryer, complained about the time limit set for individuals to speak at public meetings, made a vague threat for a lawsuit, requested that she be removed from the city' s Resident ID Program insurers, and stated that the city should eliminate the program altogether.
ROBERT ESCOVEDO Robert Escovedo stated that he has an issue with clothes hanging on fences, and not clothes hung on a clothesline. He spoke on the difficulties he has experienced speaking to his neighbors regarding his concerns.
MAYOR PRO TEM Mayor Pro Tern Ambriz stated that clothes hung on clotheslines are AMBRIZ fine, but clothes hung on fences, trees, and shrubbery, or in the front yard, should be considered a public nuisance.
COUNCILMEMBER Responding to a question by Councilmember Burrola, Senior Code BURROLA Enforcement Officer Tyler advised that Code Enforcement Officer Silva spoke to residents that hung their clothes on their neighbors' fence. He added that the resident is aware that the complaint is a civil issue.
Councilmember Burrola noted that he receives complaints about trees overhanging on properties and stated that it is up to the property owners to be good neighbors and stated his opposition to enacting any additional prohibitions.
Responding to a question by Councilmember Burrola, Senior Code Enforcement Officer Tyler indicated that the Municipal Code does not authorize him to issue fines for hanging clothes in inappropriate areas.
DIRECTOR SIMPSON Director Simpson added that these concerns are civil issues between property owners. Code Enforcement Officers make house visits as a courtesy but cannot compel anyone since there is no Municipal Code section they could cite.

DENA ZEPEDA Dena Zepeda spoke on her good experiences with Code Enforcement. She added that if she wanted to hang clothes on her tree, she would do so.
COUNCILMEMBER Councilmember Breceda stated that hanging clothes in the back yard BRECEDA is fine, but it becomes a public nuisance when hanging in the front yard.
COUNCILMEMBER Councilmember Garcia made a motion to receive and file the report.
GARCIA
CARMEN ROMAN Carmen Roman complained that her neighbor' s tree hangs over her patio and creates a mess. She asked that the tree be cut down. She also suggested that neighbors that take their disputes to civil court be fined.
COUNCILMEMBER Councilmember Burrola worried that enacting more regulations would BURROLA cause more issues.
MAYOR PRO TEM Mayor Pro Tem Ambriz stated that hanging clothes out to dry on AMBRIZ another' s property is a nuisance and spoke in favor clearly identifying nuisances in the Municipal Code so that Code Enforcement Officers have something they can work with when following up on residential complaints.
DIRECTOR SIMPSON Responding to a comment by Mayor Ortiz, Director Simpson advised that, though the Municipal Code does not address this situation, Code Enforcement Officers visit residents as a courtesy when complaints are received. However, if the action taken by the resident does not violate the Municipal Code, the Code Enforcement Officers are unable to issue citations.
MAYOR ORTIZ Mayor Ortiz concurred that these types of disputes should be settled neighbor -to -neighbor. He then asked City Attorney Guerra for input, to which he advised that any violation of the Municipal Code is deemed a nuisance. He suggested that the Council consider limiting hanging clothes in areas that are not visible to the public right of way, which seems to be the standard across most cities. Additionally, that any clothes being hung remain within the boundaries of the property without affecting a neighboring property. He stated that these would be the most that he would recommend implementing.
MAYOR PRO TEM Mayor Pro Tern Ambriz felt that this matter should not just be received AMBRIZ and filed and spoke in support of taking action. He recommended directing staff to prepare a report and take action at a future meeting to identify what constitutes a public nuisance.

DIRECTOR SIMPSON Director Simpson indicated that Community Development staff could conduct further research and added that the Council should call staff if they have specific items that they would consider to be public nuisances. She added that additional information could be presented to the Council and noted that the Municipal Code contains a section identifying public nuisances.
CITY ATTORNEY City Attorney Guerra quoted Section 8. 08. 010 of the Irwindale GUERRA Municipal Code and noted that the Code covers public nuisances.
MAYOR PRO TEM Mayor Pro Tern Ambriz stated that the referenced Municipal Code AMBRIZ section is sufficient for Code Enforcement to take appropriate action.
He concurred that the report should be received and filed.
COUNCILMEMBER Councilmember Breceda seconded Councilmember Garcia' s motion.

AGENDA FORMATTING
OPTIONS
CHIEF DEPUTY CITY Chief Deputy City Clerk Nieto made a PowerPoint presentation and CLERK NIETO introduced the staff report.
MAYOR ORTIZ Responding to a question by Mayor Ortiz, Chief Deputy City Clerk Nieto advised that the proposed formatting recommendations would consolidate agenda items and reduce the number of records created as a follow-up to actions taken at the meetings. She also noted that the change would also allow individuals to speak regarding matters of any of the convening agencies toward the beginning of the meeting, rather than having to wait until the end, for example, if they wished to speak on Housing Authority matters.
DENA ZEPEDA Dena Zepeda complained and stated her belief that the change would further limit her ability to speak at public meetings.
MEGAN ZEPEDA Megan Zepeda asked whether the Councilmembers would still receive pay for convening as other agencies and stated that individuals should still be allowed to speak on each item on the agenda.
COUNCILMEMBER Councilmember Burrola noted that individuals are occasionally BURROLA confused about whether they are permitted to speak on certain matters due to the agencies convening at different times, and stated that the proposed change would likely eliminate this confusion.

MAYOR ORTIZ Mayor Ortiz stated his belief that the agenda is fine the way it is currently being prepared, though he acknowledged that moving Spontaneous Communications after the Consent Calendar has caused a little confusion.
MAYOR PRO TEM Mayor Pro Tem Ambriz expressed his opinion that only having one AMBRIZ Spontaneous Communications would reduce the number of times that individuals may speak during a meeting. He agreed that the agenda should be left as -is.
MOTION A motion was made by Mayor Ortiz, seconded by Mayor Pro Tern Ambriz, to receive and file the report. The motion was unanimously approved.

COUNCILMEMBER Responding to a question by Councilmember Garcia, Assistant City GARCIA Manager Olivares advised that the current policy does not specify that a minimum amount of paver applications must be submitted before processing them. She noted that the quantity of paver applications has subsided from when the service was initially launched, and stated that the Council may, at its discretion, instruct staff to hold off on submitting applications until a certain number has been received.
DENA ZEPEDA Dena Zepeda stated that, due to the great price, most individuals will want to order large pavers, and asked whether there are sufficient for everybody.
SUZANNE GOMEZ Suzanne Gomez suggested potentially expanding the site of the Memorial Garden to accommodate more large pavers.
MAYOR PRO TEM Mayor Pro Tern Ambriz stated that he liked the costs of the pavers AMBRIZ and spoke in favor of updating the policy.
MOTION A motion was made by Mayor Pro Tern Ambriz, seconded by Councilmember Breceda, to amend the policy. The motion was unanimously approved.
