Dear Council Members,
At the 1/18/22 Council meeting, there was consensus that the second reading of the parking ordinance, with minor changes, would take place at the 2/1/22 meeting with a target implementation of the ordinance of 3/22.
As City Manager/City Attorney McLaughlin indicated at the 1/18/22 meeting there is no legal reason to prevent the parking ordinance from being implemented with or without any additional Safe Parking in Sebastopol.
In addition, per the Council's own directive (11/30/22 and onward), no RVs can move into the proposed RV Safe Parking until a citywide parking ordinance is in place, which the proposed ordinance provided to Council.
At this point, the parking ordinance can be implemented with or without any additional Safe Parking while Safe Parking cannot be implemented without a parking citywide parking ordinance in place.
There has been overwhelming support from all sectors of the community for the parking ordinances.
Thank you,
Emily
