Public Hearing on Municipal Code Amendment 21-04 – Adoption of Urgency Ordinance No. 1005 and Introduction and First Reading of Ordinance No. 1004 Implementing Senate Bill 9 On September 16, 2021, Senate Bill 9 (SB 9) was signed into State law by Governor Newsom. SB 9 amended California Government Code Section 66452.6 and added Sections 65852.21 and 66411.7 to allow for urban dwellings and urban lot splits.

Introduction of an Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Rosemead, California, Amending Section 2.08.070(B) of the Rosemead Municipal Code Relating to the Chief of Police At the City Council meeting of January 11, 2022, the City Council directed that an ordinance be brought back to the City Council for introduction amending the Municipal Code to remove the position of Chief of Police from section 2.08.070(B) for clarification purposes.
Upon the City’s incorporation in 1959, initial ordinances of the City were adopted by the first City Council. Over time changes occur, which may necessitate the Council to make amendments to the Municipal Code to properly reflect the status of certain matters. In the present case, the City’s provision of law enforcement is provided by a contract approved by the City Council with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department and not by an internal City Police Department with a City employed Chief of Police. The draft Ordinance would amend the Municipal Code to remove reference to the position of Chief of Police as falling under the City Manager as stated in Section 2.08.070(B) to further clarify the current status.
Recommendation:
That the City Council introduce and read by title only, Ordinance No. 1007, entitled: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROSEMEAD, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING SECTION 2.08.070(B) OF THE ROSEMEAD MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO THE CHIEF OF POLICE Staff Report
