RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Consider approving the appointment of two Council Members to serve as the City’s Voting Delegate and Voting Delegate Alternate at the 2025 Annual League of California Cities Conference.
BACKGROUND:
Every year, the League of California Cities convenes a member -driven General Assembly at the Cal Cities Annual Conference and Expo. The General Assembly is an important opportunity where city officials can directly participate in the development of Cal Cities policy.
Taking place on October 10 , 202 5, the General Assembly is comprised of voting delegates appointed by each member city; every city has one voting delegate. Your appointed voting delegate plays an important role during the General Assembly by representing your city and voting on resolutions.
To cast a vote during the General Assembly, your city must designate a voting delegate and up to two alternate voting delegates, one of whom may vote if the designated voting delegate is unable to serve in that capacity. Voting delegates may either be an elected or appointed official.
ANALYSIS:
Consistent with Cal Cities bylaws, a city’s voting delegate and up to two alternates must be designated by the city council (“EXHIBIT A”)
FISCAL IMPACT:
Should the City Council approve this request, adequate funding is included in the FY 2025-2026 Budget and will be charged to General Fund, City Council, Travel & Meeting Account.

Honorable Mayor and Members City Council Meeting of
of the Marina City Council August 6, 2025
STRENGTHENING THE CITY’S SHORT -TERM RENTAL (STR)
PROGRAM TO PROTECT NEIGHBORHOOD INTEGRITY
REQUEST: It is requested that the City Council:
1. Direct staff to develop a dedicated complaint and reporting mechanism for short-term rentals (STRs).
2. Explore additional measures to ensure compliance with existing STR regulations— particularly around “owner-occupied” requirements.
3. Return with a proposed amendment to Marina Municipal Code Chapter 17.42.170 to prohibit the advertisement of unlicensed STRs, including the implementation of daily fines consistent with surrounding jurisdictions. or, in the alternative,
4. Direct staff to cease the STR Program and return with a sunset plan.
BACKGROUND:
In 2019, the City of Marina adopted a Short -Term Rental (STR) Program to help balance the demand for vacation rentals with the need to preserve neighborhood character and safeguard local housing availability. Under the adopted policy, STRs are only allowed in “owner -occupied” properties, which are defined as dwellings where the owner resides for at least six months and one day each year.
SUMMARY:
Marina is a city of neighbors, and housing affordability and availability continue to be pressing concerns in our community. Since the STR program’s inception, there has been no dedicated online mechanism for residents to report potential code violations or unlicensed STR activity. Without a public-facing complaint tool, enforcement remains limited and reactive.
Moreover, verifying “owner -occupied” status has proven challenging due to limited staffing capacity. This has led to growing concerns over STRs operating outside the bounds of local regulations—particularly by absentee investors whose interests may not align with our community values.
Other cities on the Peninsula, such as Monterey and Pacific Grove, have strengthened their STR enforcement by making it explicitly illegal to advertise non -licensed rentals and imposing daily penalties for violations. Marina should consider similar tools t o increase compliance and deter illegal operators.
As Marina continues to grow, we must protect the spirit of our neighborhoods and ensure our housing remains for those who live, work, and contribute to our community. Strengthening our STR program with better tools, clearer enforcement, and updated policie s will help maintain Marina as a city of neighbors—not investors.
1 NEXT STEPS:
To uphold the integrity of Marina’s neighborhoods and address increasing concerns around STR activity, Council is asked to consider the following options:
1. Cease the STR Program and Create a Sunset Plan
Begin phasing out the existing Short-Term Rental Program by creating a structured sunset plan that includes notification to current permit holders, a defined timeline for license expiration, and enforcement mechanisms to ensure a full wind-down of the program.
2. Develop a Public Reporting Tool
Create a publicly accessible online form and/or webpage for residents to report unlicensed or non-compliant STRs in their neighborhoods.
3. Enhance Verification of “Owner-Occupied” Status
Explore new tools and processes to better confirm that STR properties meet the “owner-occupied” requirement (six months plus one day), as defined in current policy.
4. Amend Municipal Code to Prohibit Advertising of Illegal STRs Draft and return with a proposed amendment to Marina Municipal Code Chapter
17.42.170 to:
o Make it unlawful to advertise short-term rentals without a valid city-issued STR license.
o Establish daily penalties for each day an illegal STR is advertised, modeled after similar ordinances in Monterey and Pacific Grove.
5. Return with Broader Policy Recommendations
Provide a comprehensive staff analysis on the impacts of STRs in Marina and return with additional recommendations for enforcement, staffing, and potential program revisions.
FISCAL IMPACT:
CONCLUSION:
This request is submitted for City Council consideration.
