Hailey Boye and James Boyer described a pattern they said has grown over the past year: management writing up voucher‑holding tenants for guest‑related issues while allowing other tenants to host large gatherings, and inconsistent application of parking and visitor rules. Boyer said he received multiple bills and three‑day notices; he said the property manager confiscated a receipt he had requested as proof of payment. Lisa Reed, another tenant, said she experienced prolonged maintenance problems including a heater that took more than a year to fix and persistent mold problems.

Speakers asked the council and city staff to help ensure equitable treatment, to route tenants to tenant‑rights resources and to have code enforcement and housing staff review habitability complaints. Assistant Amanda Craft and other resident advocates said they have compiled written documentation and asked the city for follow‑up on enforcement and support options that could prevent displacement.

City staff said the matters raised involve code enforcement and housing‑related processes and will be handled through those channels; staff also offered to accept written evidence and to coordinate with community organizations. No formal council action on Seacliff issues was taken at the meeting; council and staff said they would reopen public comment if additional speakers arrived later in the evening and encouraged residents to submit documentation to staff.","Several tenants and neighbors told the City Council that Seacliff Apartments management is targeting voucher holders, citing selective enforcement, billing problems and habitability issues; residents asked the city to investigate and to connect tenants with enforcement and housing resources.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6288890,"Council declares intent to form Pacifica Tourism Marketing District; hotels, STRs to get notice",1755,3431000,5186000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2533292-6b67376151c804ac94d2e73fc507f575&start=3431&end=5186","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2533292-6b67376151c804ac94d2e73fc507f575/thumbnail_3431000.jpg","/articles/6288890/Pacifica/San-Mateo-County/California/Council-declares-intent-to-form-Pacifica-Tourism-Marketing-District-hotels-STRs-to-get-notice","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6288890-dfc14ea0312398501ed59fb001269734/orig.mp4?Expires=1771159859&Signature=A4yftNwp5N-ay6t-DxFm4UbroParQj~rgvF3cmQZnrKX5h7yM66yFnd4KJ4D07zZOE4oI1KFhpHm4BUs1p2wxBVMBxNX-rrDVNYH6kbHZAZEap9m9JkSUB-Wf4BvsBPdri0WZb~ko4SaDCBt77gRiJkMk97H0xwHdhlRwShjmYOkU1nJRRsx2zskrVDUZjifDgp3b4Z1fn6o4o9BcugMWBhedSzt5kEaN6xsD56tftyNl3N97KDUJG8NC5Tn6KOBTSXb1iZU0JRRd0A6NZqG0f48UirH3chTwv5Zkr~MEErlz8feHyEasZmcL6XYlyCn0eAOf-mso5gXl5-hVZVrAw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The City Council on March 10 adopted a resolution of intent to form the Pacifica Tourism Marketing District (PTMD) under the Property and Business Improvement District Law of 1994 and set a public meeting for March 24 and a final hearing for April 28.

Assistant City Manager Yolia Carter introduced the proposal and said the PTMD would modernize the city’s current Pacifica Hotel Business Improvement District (formed under the 1989 law) and allow an owners’ association — typically a nonprofit composed of lodging stakeholders — to manage marketing and destination development programs. Emily Brown, project manager with Civitas, said the 1994 law requires a petition (majority‑support by assessment payers) to form the district but allows an initial five‑year term and governance by a private nonprofit subject to the Brown Act and Public Records Act.

A steering committee of lodging owners earlier submitted signed petitions representing five of eight hotels, which allowed staff to start the legal process. The board initially favored a 1% assessment but at a January meeting asked staff to consider an alternative dollar‑per‑night charge. Staff presented two assessment models for council review: a percentage‑based model (example: 0.5% of gross room revenue yielding an estimate of roughly $143,000 annually) and a flat dollar‑per‑night model (the board’s earlier direction was $1 per room per night; that option is projected to generate about $125,000 under current occupancy assumptions). Staff noted the percentage option could be more equitable across hotels and short‑term rentals because it scales with room revenue.

Council adopted the resolution of intent unanimously and asked staff whether to present the board’s $1 per‑night recommendation at the hearing or to return to the HBID board with the newer revenue comparisons (0.5% estimate) before the April 28 final hearing. Staff said notices will be mailed to all lodging owners and short‑term rental operators with opportunities to protest or testify; council retains authority at the final hearing to reduce (but not increase) the proposed assessment.","Council set public meeting and final hearing dates to form a Tourism Marketing District under California's 1994 law and asked staff whether to proceed with a $1 per‑stay or a lower percentage‑based assessment; council adopted the resolution of intent unanimously.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6288895,"Council introduces code change to require larger containers, more frequent commercial pickups after civil grand jury findings",997,4644000,5641000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2533292-6b67376151c804ac94d2e73fc507f575&start=4644&end=5641","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2533292-6b67376151c804ac94d2e73fc507f575/thumbnail_4644000.jpg","/articles/6288895/Pacifica/San-Mateo-County/California/Council-introduces-code-change-to-require-larger-containers-more-frequent-commercial-pickups-after-civil-grand-jury-findings","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6288895-40420d0aab8ca47663429379e6d7507f/orig.mp4?Expires=1771159859&Signature=mTSaFmOe-AGO8BGd7-TgiE9pkFEy4WPFhu6eaX1MgPn3Ytbac9w~TJ7Uvj4zy18dlj4l1tHiL3jctdvg0huw5cetlRUGzTyZnj2vv-wR3JgoqkO3VARRPhP3EBOZX5o2yQds7fhY0S6PzzbNAk~YTuwXC32ERiJPaNuKR3LZC2b35adCOjQV0V8aIe7RHTavq4lZGQlD0lPj8itgYkqRsN59t~JkHnSH87ttU32MKbFVePLCrKyQDu1QE4bVs7rEUrb5JvSop8wrxZqKMOF~wgd3pcN7E2FJM~3AlIcYz4BQYdqV3JvO5Vvjaokr4kHlmDtCtVi5Gbkyd40kYwFMXQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Pacifica’s City Council voted March 10 to introduce an ordinance (by title only) that would amend municipal code sections 6‑5.103 through 6‑5.105 to give the city authority to require larger containers or increased collection frequency where rubbish generation exceeds service capacity.

Interim Public Works Director John Mullins told council the change responds to a San Mateo County civil grand jury report, “Restaurant exteriors and neglected spaces,” which recommended proactive steps to reduce overflowing exterior bins that attract pests and create unsanitary conditions. Mullins said the amendment adds explicit authority for the city to require different sizes or quantities of waste containers and higher‑frequency pickups beyond the subscribed service when volumes exceed container or collection capacity.

Mullins said the city currently has no active code enforcement cases tied to restaurant exterior storage but cited vulnerabilities where shopping centers drain to creeks and where overflow can affect public health and the creeks. The revised code would allow Recology and city staff to notify a property owner in writing and require larger containers or more frequent collection when needed.

Staff presented sample commercial pricing to illustrate cost implications for businesses if the city requires a larger container or additional pickups. Council members asked staff to notify businesses — particularly Manor Shopping Center tenants — before the ordinance takes effect and to pursue collaborative voluntary approaches before enforcement.

Council Member Beier moved to introduce the ordinance by title only and waive further reading; the motion passed unanimously. Staff said the ordinance will return for a subsequent reading and that staff will begin outreach to affected commercial properties ahead of any enforcement.","The council introduced by title an ordinance amending Pacifica Municipal Code sections on garbage collection to allow the city to require larger or additional containers and more frequent pickups when existing service is inadequate; the change responds to a San Mateo County civil grand jury recommendation on restaurant exterior waste.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6288900,"Pacifica council approves revised street‑sweeping contract amid resident complaints about timing and dust",1576,1050000,2626000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2533292-6b67376151c804ac94d2e73fc507f575&start=1050&end=2626","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2533292-6b67376151c804ac94d2e73fc507f575/thumbnail_1050000.jpg","/articles/6288900/Pacifica/San-Mateo-County/California/Pacifica-council-approves-revised-streetsweeping-contract-amid-resident-complaints-about-timing-and-dust","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6288900-f066afd5dae9347ad463bbb3ff11bd8c/orig.mp4?Expires=1771159859&Signature=HvV~0aM~wCCBXsUKFhLp0WV8yT2R~UIOTEX29pMO90V4mnig5gDG01OO1mLBUKEkaT-lLQRjWVhf-Ijegx7CMjkY83Ee66om5umr4Q2DiUyXqL3cm5kmBTSW825rds-TWGrINZFTIZPnalvaFcv2NVNixAS6V2Em3rCNRuxjk6P0i719EtHWe9FIBgbTluHyLCEWUb5Xz1npokxb3nziceRbVcCowdGh0o5IMOAjVE8EqpcDocL71q6Szfjo0Ur1F9U821mMXYTn2hQRARxMmxik3DPD0pQiE71s799eJ~1ZtZhpGRNZqs4pp0kcBENhG80FTWPjPEZT-FG6uP8CSg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Pacifica City Council on March 10 approved the city’s new street‑sweeping contract, a change the public works department says is needed after prevailing‑wage requirements raised contractor costs.

The council’s action follows staff presentations and about an hour of public comment from commercial property owners and residents who said the sweepers often arrive too late in the morning, miss curblines and can generate dust.

City Manager Kevin Woodhouse said the revised contract preserves full coverage of the city at least once per month and adds a second sweep focused on higher‑trash commercial areas totaling roughly 17 miles. Roland Yip, deputy director of public works and city engineer, said the northern part of the city is swept in week one and the southern part in week two, with the program designed to sweep most of the city twice a month under the prior contract; due to rising costs the new contract reduces frequency but targets commercial corridors for a second pass.

Yip told council the city does not currently enforce a no‑parking period during sweeping because that would require police enforcement resources the city does not have. He said specific start times are set by the contractor and that staff will ask the contractor to provide a narrower time window for each route so residents and business owners can plan.

Speaking during public comment, Manor District business owner Bill Meyerhoff and others described sweepers arriving around mid‑morning when parking spaces are filled, leaving machines to sweep in the travel lane rather than the gutter. Residents and business owners recommended postcards, better digital notice and targeted engagement to encourage vehicle moves during sweep windows. Several speakers also raised dust concerns and asked staff to confirm sweepers use adequate water and technique to limit airborne dust.

Yip and Woodhouse said the city will improve communication (posting approximate three‑ to four‑hour windows on the website and Connect Pacifica) and will adjust commercial routes so high‑trash commercial blocks are swept earlier in the schedule. Staff said the second pass adjustments will be implemented “almost immediately” and should be visible within two weeks.

Council member Beier moved approval of item 7 and the motion, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Bowles, passed unanimously.

The contract includes annual CPI adjustments; staff said earlier contract pricing roughly doubled after the state’s Department of Industrial Relations applied prevailing‑wage rules to sweeping, pushing the city to reduce sweep frequency while prioritizing commercial areas.","The City Council approved a three‑year street‑sweeping contract that reduces overall frequency but keeps one full sweep of most streets and adds a second pass for about 17 miles of commercial streets; residents and business owners urged better timing, communication and attention to dust and curb cleaning.","actionData","errors"]
