This helps ensure that resources are not wasted on an item that City Council may not ultimately adopt. RECOMMENDATION: Determine whether to place a discussion and action items on these subjects at a future Council meeting: a) Review of Commercial Marina Rental Rates; and b) Consideration of purchasing residential property at 230 Kings Place (APN 049 - 202 -01) in the Cliff Haven neighborhood for a 0.38 -acre "passive park." FUNDING REQUIREMENTS: There is no fiscal impact related to this specific decision item, but depending on the direction Council takes, some expense can be incurred to research and staff specific issues. DISCUSSION: Section C3 of the Council Policy A -6 reads as follows: Items may be placed on a City Council agenda in the following manner: A. A Council Member may ask during the Council meeting that a matter be brought to the City Council at a future meeting. The matter will be brought back at the next Council meeting (if possible). At that Council meeting, if a majority of the City Council wishes to examine the issue, staff will prepare an appropriate report and return with the item to the City Council with greater detail for discussion and /or action. 23 -1 B. In addition to the above, the Mayor may ask the City Manager to place an item on the Council's agenda outside of a Council meeting. If so, the matter will be brought back at the next Council meeting (if possible). At that Council meeting, if a majority of the Council wishes to examine the issue, the staff will prepare an appropriate report and return the item to the City Council with greater detail for discussion and /or action. C. The City Manager may place an item on the agenda in the course of operating the City. On April 28, 2015, Council member Muldoon asked that the City Council vote on whether to place the first item on a future City Council agenda. On April 30, 2015, Mayor Selich asked to place the second item on the agenda. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: This action (to return an item back to Council for additional public input) is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act ( "CEQA ") pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) (the activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment) and 15060(c)(3) (the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378) of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it has no potential for resulting in physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly. NOTICING: The agenda item has been noticed according to the Brown Act (72 hours in advance of the meeting at which the City Council considers the item). 23 -2
