SUBJECT: BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH
FROM:
DATE:
We ask Mayor Pogon-Cord and Councilmembers to proclaim the month of October as Breast Cancer Awareness Month in the City of Tehachapi.
Breast Cancer Awareness Month is a global campaign to raise awareness for breast cancer, increase screenings, and provide critical support for patients and survivors. Since 1989, increased awareness through campaigns like this has helped reduce the breast cancer deaths in the United States by 44o/o.
The key messages of Breast Cancer Awareness Month focus on early detection, primarily through regular mammograms, knowing your body and recognizing potential symptoms like lumps or skin changes, understanding lifestyle factors that can reduce risk, providing support for patients and their families, and raising funds for research and patient care. Wearing pink and spreading the word also helps to ignite conversations and encourage action.
The City of Tehachapi is proud to host our inaugural Breast CancerAwareness Walk and Health Fair at Railroad Park on Saturday October 11th 8am-noon. We have placed a butterfly wall in city hall's lobby for people to stop by and write a name on a butterfly for a survivor, fighter or to honor a loved one who has lost their battle. The butterfly wall will remain in the lobby through the end of October. We are also selling a commemorative Breast Cancer Awareness hat with proceeds supporting two local organizations that support cancer patients and families.
We are happy to announce the following organizations joining us on October 11; Adventist Health, AIS Cancer Center, Synchrony Medical Group, Cedars-Sinai Cancer Community Outreach and Engagement, Tehachapi Cancer Foundation, and Houchin Community Blood Bank.
We ask the council to recognize our Tehachapi Public Works Department and proclaim October as Breast Cancer Awareness Month in Tehachapi.

SEPTEMBER 18,2025
FIRST READING AND INTRODUCTION OF AN ORDINANCE REVISING THE TEHACHAPT MUNICIPAL CODE REGARDING RES!DENTIAL RENTAL PROPERTY INSPECTION REQUIREMENTS FROM:
DATE:
SUBJECT:
BACKGROUND
Development Services and the Police Department often receive complaints of substandard conditions from tenants and neighbors of rental properties within the City. The City addresses complaints by inspecting properties for health and safety-related violations of the Tehachapi Municipal Code, the Tehachapi Zoning Code, the California Health and Safety Code, and the California Building Standards Code. ln 2023, the State of California passed AB 548, which requires cities to adopt policies and procedures for inspecting multi-family housing when a violation appears to affect other units. While the City has policies and procedures in place for inspecting and addressing code violations, the Tehachapi Municipal Code does not specifically address multifamily housing like the new law requires.
This ordinance would establish a policy and procedure for inspecting health and safety violations, including those affecting other units in multi-family housing. lt would also require landlords to register their rental properties with the City and establish a point of contact for City staff. This is intended to reduce workload for City staff in tracking down property owners to address code violations. ln the same spirit of holding landlords accountable for maintaining their property, this ordinance would require property owners or their authorized agent to make a good-faith effort to prevent illegal, nuisance, or criminal activity from taking place on their properties.
The Tehachapi Municipal Code currently requires business owners that operate within City limits to pay a business tax, but no such requirement exists for owners of rental properties except for apartment complexes with four or more units. This discrepancy holds landlords of one-, two-, and three-unit housing to a different standard than other business owners. Current code (TMC 5.08.295) requires owners of apartment complexes with four or more units to pay a business tax of SaO plus 55 for each unit. For the sake of simplicity, the proposed business tax for three or fewer units is S40 annually.

FIRST READING AND INTRODUCTION OF AN ORDINANCE REVISING THE TEHACHAPI
MUNICIPAL CODE REGARDING ADMINISTRATIVE FINES, PENALTIES, AND ENFORCEMENT OF CODE VIOLATIONS; SHORT-TERM RENTAL REGULATIONS; GARBAGE AND RUBBISH REGULATIONS; PARKING SPACE COMPLIANCE; FINDING OF EXEMPTION FROM CEQA - AND
A RESOLUTION TO ESTABLISH A SCHEDULE OF FINES AND PENALTIES FROM:
DATE:
SUBJECT:
BACKGROUND
The Development Services Department and the Police Department have identified several areas of the Tehachapi Municipal Code ("TMC") that should be updated to protect public health and safety, improve processes, and comply with new state laws.
Administrative Citations
Section 1.20 ("General Penalty") of the TMC establishes procedures for prosecuting violations of the TMC. Currently, this section requires violations to be prosecuted as a misdemeanor unless the violation is made an infraction by ordinance. The proposed revisions would clarify the Police Department's discretion to prosecute these violations as either a misdemeanor or an infraction.
Section 1.20 and other sections of the TMC currently specify fine amounts for violations of the code - necessitating a municipal code revision to change fine amounts. The proposed revisions would allow the Councilto set the amounts of fines for violations via resolution. The accompanying resolution contains a list of administrative fines and penalties for commonly used fines that Council and staff may want to revise in the future. These include fines for general code violations, building and safety code violations, fireworks violations, and short-term rental violations. The fine amounts reflect current amounts set in the code.
Section 1.16 ("Citation Procedure") establishes procedures for issuing citations for violations of the TMC. The proposed revisions would modify Section 1.16.065 ("Alternative Method of Enforcement") -which covers issuance of administrative citations and appeals procedures - to comply with Government Code 53069.4. The changes would clarify how administrative citations are to be served, list specific information that must be included in the citation (such as which code was violated, the amount of the fine, a time period in which the violation must be corrected, and how to appeal the citation). As with Section 1.20, Section 1.16.065 reaffirms that the Council may set fine amounts via a resolution.
Appeals would be handled via an informal, administrative hearing by the city manager or his/her designee - who would serve as the hearing officer. The hearing officer will decide on the validity of the citation and provide a written decision to the appellant. lf the appellant disagrees with this decision, he/she has 20 days to appeal the decision to the superior court.
Short-Term Rentals
Section 8.68 ("Short-Term Rental Permits") of the TMC requires a permit to operate a short-term rental property within City Limits and establishes policies and procedures for issuing these permits. These regulations were established to enforce transient occupancy tax, to safeguard the peace and quiet of residential neighborhoods, and to protect the health and safety of short-term rental guests. The Police Department has received calls for service to short-term rentals due to excessive noise caused by parties. Development Services recognizes that residential zones have a high expectation of peace and quiet. Downtown Tehachapi often sees events including festivals, parades, concerts, and farmer's markets, at which noise can often be heard from outside the event - making it a more appropriate area for short-term rentals. Therefore, this ordinance would limit the issuance of new short-term rental permits to the downtown area. Existing permits outside of Downtown can be renewed if they remain in good standing with the City.
Tehachapi Zoning Code 7.20.010.8 defines the "downtown area" as "the area bounded on the west by Mill Street, on the east by Snyder Avenue, on the north by H Street, and on the south by C Street." For the sake of consistency, these bounds will be used for short-term rentals. A map of the area is shown below.
il
I
ir '' t
,f
1 o
The current code prohibits advertising a short-term renta! without a permit. Development Services has encountered violators who attempt to circumvent this code by advertising on websites that support both shortterm and long-term rentals. This ordinance will clarify the code by specifically prohibiting advertising on websites that support short-term rentals unless the owner has a short-term rental permit.
Other changes include: (1) defining the use of short-term rentals to avoid ambiguity; (2) requiring a portrait of the permit applicant, to provide a clearer record of the propertyowner; (3) requiringthe life-safety inspection to be scheduled at the time of application, to alleviate city staff time spent following up with applicants to schedule the inspection; (4) establishing June 30 of each year as the permit expiration date, to reduce staff workload in keeping track of various expiration dates; (5) clarifying that short-term rentals with two or more bedrooms are deemed to offer lodging for five or more persons and are subject to transient occupancy tax.
Garbaee and Rubbish Reeulations
A common problem encountered by the Police Department is littered streets, parking lots, and neighboring properties due to trash receptacles left open to the weather and animals. The proposed changes to Section 8.04 ("Garbage and Refuse") would require property owners to keep trash receptacles closed and kept within a trash enclosure (where applicable), as well as to clean up any litter from their trash cans - including litter that spreads to neighboring properties. Property owners would also be prohibited from leaving trash receptacles in the public right of way or their front yard outside of collection days. Finally, a definition for "curbline" is proposed to avoid ambiguity.
Parking Space Compliance
Some City streets in the Downtown area and most public parking lots are marked with painted parking spaces. Currently, the TMC contains no language requiring vehicles to park within the marked spaces. The proposed revision would add this language to the Code, allowing the Police Department to cite vehicles taking up more than one space.
CEQA Exemption
Because these changes are administrative and regulatory in nature and do not have any physical impact on the environment, this Ordinance is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to the General Rule (14 C.C.R. Section 15061(bX3)).
