Director reported The City Council held the first readings on various ordinances related
to off-street parking one of which was based on a recommendation
from the Planning Commission related to the Code amendment,
which was the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance Amendment that
the Planning Commission considered last May; the second ordinance
related to a prohibition of parking along various designated portions of
Newport Avenue, Red Hill Avenue, and Irvine Boulevard; the third
ordinance related to street sweeping Citywide on public streets; the
fourth ordinance related to code enforcement administrative citations;
the last item related to administrative policy procedures for preferential
permit parking on public streets.
The City Council approved a construction and maintenance
agreement between the Southern California Regional Rail Authority
and the City for rail-highway crossing safety enhancements and safety
measures related to quiet zone implementation at the Red Hill Avenue

railroad crossing; this agreement has been in the works for a long
time, and the City has been looking forwarding to those improvements
at that location.
The City Council approved an economic stimulus program for new
residential developments which is a deferment of development impact
fees for new residential development; fees are typically collected for
development impacts when building permits are issued; the City will
now be collecting those fees at the time of final inspection; this
program becomes effective immediately.

diligently to put the Tiller Days event together; he also attended the
Tiller Days parade which was wonderful, as always.

was very informative and brought her up to date on many issues; the
report prepared by the staff and comments by citizens of these areas

Referred to the memorandum received from Councilman Bone
relating to the a-waste pickup at The District, October 25, between
