(New Language Added: For all items commencing after 11:00 p.m., Councilmembers’ comments shall be limited to 1 minute each, and speaking no more than 2 times per item; questions are permitted, but the Presiding Officer shall closely monitor to ensure they are only questions, not statements of opinion; staff presentations shall be limited to 15 minutes, unless the Council by majority vote allows a longer presentation.) Item Pulled by Requestor. 10/19/2023
- agenda-report Request by Mayor Davis to amend Rule 9(b) of the Council Rules of Procedure concerning Selection of Mayor and Mayor Pro Tempore to delete the sentence: “This provision shall not be subject to a suspension of the Council Rules, and shall be implemented until duly repealed or amended by the Council,” to read as follows: (b) Selection of Mayor and Mayor Pro Tempore. As required by Charter section 604, the Mayor shall be selected by the Council. The procedure for selection shall be as follows: Beginning in December 2022, the Council shall select the longest continuously serving Councilmember, whether initially elected or appointed, to serve as Mayor for a 1 year term. Each subsequent December the next longest continuously serving Councilmember shall be selected as Mayor for a 1 year term, then rotating each December to select the Mayor in order of the next longest serving Councilmember. If two or more Councilmembers were elected at the same election, the Councilmember receiving the higher number of votes shall be considered as having served longer for purposes of this provision. If two or more Councilmembers were initially appointed to serve at the same time, then when they each may first become eligible to be selected as Mayor, a coin flip shall decide who shall be considered as having served longer for purposes of this provision. The Mayor Pro Tempore may be selected by simple majority vote without regard to this provision. (This sentence will be deleted: "This provision shall not be subject to a suspension of the Council Rules, and shall be implemented until duly repealed or amended by the Council.")
- 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. Continued from the October 10, 2023 meeting.
- 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. Continued from the October 10, 2023 meeting.
- agenda-report Request of Councilmember Zwick that the Council authorize use of his travel funds to cover the registration fees and travel expenses associated with attending the YIMBYtown Annual Conference to be held February 26-28, 2024 in Austin, TX. Continued from the October 10, 2023 meeting.
- 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. Continued from the October 10, 2023 meeting.
- 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. Continued from the October 10, 2023 meeting.
