- agenda-report Request of Councilmember Brock that the City Attorney and City Manager consider developing and evaluate the impacts of an ordinance prohibiting the manufacture, sale, and/or installation of engineered countertops in Santa Monica. The fabrication of engineered countertops releases silica dust, and inhalation of silica dust can cause silicosis, a serious and deadly disease. On June 6, 2023, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors adopted a motion instructing the Director of Public Health to report on options to ban the sale, fabrication, and installation of silica fabricated stone in Los Angeles County. In addition, the California Division of Occupational Safety and Health has indicated that they will develop workplace standards for workers who handle engineered stone. Prior to developing a local ordinance, the City Attorney and City Manager are being asked to consider the findings of the Los Angeles County Director of Public health and standards developed by Cal/OSHA to determine its feasibility. New Item Received. 8/6/2026
- agenda-report Request of Councilmember Torosis, Mayor Davis and Councilmember Zwick that the City Council adopt a resolution in support of the tenants of Barrington Plaza as they fight mass eviction, and direct staff to send copies of the adopted resolution to the Barrington Plaza tenants' association, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, the Los Angeles City Councilmember that represents the tenants of Barrington Plaza, and to Douglas Emmett Inc. headquartered in Santa Monica, and other parties as deemed appropriate.

- agenda-report Request of Councilmember Zwick, Councilmember Torosis and Mayor Davis that the City of Santa Monica support AB 1033 (Ting) and, upon the governor’s signature, draft a local ordinance to allow the separate conveyance of the primary dwelling unit and ADU or ADUs as condominiums.
- agenda-report Request of Councilmembers Parra, de la Torre, and Mayor Pro Tem Negrete that the Council authorize the use of their travel funds to accept an invitation from the Embassy of El Salvador to visit the country from November 6-10, 2023. The agenda includes meeting the ambassador and various government officials to discuss public safety, education, and tourism as well as evaluating beach communities for future sister city partnerships.
- agenda-report Request of Mayor Davis and Councilmembers Torosis and Zwick that the City Council support the Justice for Renters Act. The California Secretary of State has verified that the Justice for Renters Act has qualified for the November 2024 state ballot. The Justice for Renters Action is an initiative which will expand local control over rent laws by replacing The Costa-Hawkins Rental Housing Act. Costa Hawkins prohibits rent control on single-family homes, condominiums and rental units that were built after 1995. The Justice for Renters Act removes this ban on rent control in California, giving local communities the right to stabilize rents and make apartments more affordable for low-income and middle-income renters. Repealing Costa Hawkins will help local government address one of the root causes of homelessness--skyrocketing rents and unaffordable housing. Mayor Davis and Councilmembers Torosis and Zwick also request that the City Manager issue a press release indicating the City Council’s support for the proposed ballot initiative and send a letter of support from the City to the Governor, Senator Ben Allen, Assemblymember Rick Zbur, and to the proponents of the Justice For Renters Act.
- agenda-report Request of Mayor Davis that the City waive application, administrative, and rental fees associated with the partial use of the parking lot on the Santa Monica Pier as well as Santa Monica Beach Parking Lot 1 North to support the City’s annual commemoration of Veterans Day honoring and celebrating all those who have served our country in the Armed Forces, being planned in coordination with the United States Army.
