Jonathan Mayer, the district general manager, said staff are finalizing a plan that would create an in-house parking enforcement unit housed in Public Works and Sustainability. The proposed first-year operating cost is roughly $400,000; staff recommended seeking a one-time loan of $300,000 from an Isla Vista parking mitigation fund held by Santa Barbara County to cover startup costs. Ticket revenue would first replenish the loan and then fund ongoing operations, with staff aiming for a revenue-neutral program over time.

Mayer described the enforcement design as a combination of on-foot enforcement and automated data collection. Staff would deploy license-plate recognition (LPR) on bikes or scooters to record long-duration parking and congestion metrics; on-foot staff would then follow up to issue citations and provide education. Proposed scope includes seven-day coverage, two to four full-time-equivalent enforcement staff, customer service for ticket appeals, outreach and education campaigns before enforcement begins, and coordination with county law enforcement for towing and other legal authorities that the district itself lacks.

Staff said the district will promote alternatives (car-share/co-op, shuttles and transit options, orientation messaging for incoming students and parents) and run an education campaign in fall 2025 with \u0000mock tickets\u0000 and outreach before the enforcement launch. The current timeline calls for: county approval and funding decision in early July; agreement and policy work in late summer and fall; staff hiring and equipment procurement in early 2026; and a program launch in spring 2026.

Board members and public commenters focused on equity and safety concerns. Several speakers asked how the program would affect people living in vehicles, residents who must park for periods longer than 72 hours (medical reasons, car breakdowns, work schedules), and low-income residents. Public commenters asked for safe-parking alternatives, an exemption or hardship-appeal process, and limited enforcement zones for people who lack other options. Staff said multiple safe-parking sites currently exist and that staff will not publish their locations for safety reasons; staff also said the final program design will include processes to address hardship and special cases.

Directors emphasized prioritizing enforcement of high-risk, health-and-safety violations first (blocked driveways, blocked fire hydrants, sidewalk and daylighting obstructions, bus stops and bike lanes) and using education to change behavior. The board heard that state law requires specific remittances from tickets (for example, a statutorily prescribed portion of ticket revenue goes to courts) and that the district will need to contract or purchase ticket-management and online payment systems.

Staff will meet individually with county supervisors before the supervisors\u0000 July board meeting to request the loan and delegation of limited enforcement authority; the district intends to return to the board with final MOU terms, cost details and an operational design before procurement and hires. No vote was required on the update.

Board members asked staff to clarify enforcement hours, towing procedures, fine structure and training for staff who will perform enforcement. Staff said these operational details remain in design and will be brought back to the board for policy decisions.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","IVCSD Board of Directors — 2025-06-24","oneSentenceSummary","District staff presented a draft parking enforcement program to reduce hazardous street parking and to shift car use, and said they will seek a $300,000 one-time loan from county Isla Vista parking mitigation funds to cover startup costs.","taxTitle","Isla Vista, Santa Barbara County, California","taxId",71931,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6186161,"Isla Vista CSD appoints Catherine Carmichael to board after unanimous vote",2684,2676000,5360000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5078179-10687af72b86c76229ee488f5e1f87ea&start=2676&end=5360","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5078179-10687af72b86c76229ee488f5e1f87ea/thumbnail_2676000.jpg","/articles/6186161/Isla-Vista/Santa-Barbara-County/California/Isla-Vista-CSD-appoints-Catherine-Carmichael-to-board-after-unanimous-vote","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6186161-06eb50b3add9eba42800909d6ec9211d/orig.mp4?Expires=1776305943&Signature=Ftvs4VEo0Fbrq05ag1HFXX-BQbgKyMD9rEsue-ti4g5jaiB8zIV2hmKe3GEYEkDt1gj0RiNEnCkFnLvEtAXPlQ9cHdLIISWzTFTYYgKGrPzkmYbPU625FKqBiQ0ODuBabMYsajWIz02GqhDNDtPGUJxxlWsIJ-cMzaDL~YBYYRlqmmZe-m3n7FwdrFUbOANx0p9oZsJwfyv74NanDXfLlXavOnDysYrmGMwYOEkXjiEoYcZyt~H7OCIPxHVIf3BECd4861Lg4-Cy-xtRMRODcbnApfEza-Lr6owPIX9-0ifv0-8wOS9noLLs1giSMjCwIp1eZuKkL7DI6SDvTI2R9g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Isla Vista Community Services District board appointed Catherine Carmichael to fill a vacant seat after interviewing five applicants and conducting an exhaustive public selection process.

The appointment came after interviews of five candidates and public deliberation by board members about experience, community connection and the ability to serve through the term. The board voted to appoint Catherine Carmichael; the motion was made, seconded and approved by roll call.

Board members said Carmichael\u0000s background in local constituent services and her work for State Senator Monique Limon, plus a stated intention to remain in the area while pursuing graduate study, were decisive factors. Director Spencer (chair) summarized the board\u0000s concerns during deliberations, emphasizing the value of candidates who can serve long term and hit the ground running. Director Platt and others cited Carmichael\u0000s experience working in district offices and with Isla Vista issues as evidence she could step into the role quickly.

The board followed the procedurally required appointment process: members announced comments and preferences, then each director verbally named a single preferred candidate. With multiple directors stating Catherine Carmichael as their first choice, a motion to appoint Carmichael was made and seconded; a roll-call vote followed with all directors voting yes. The board then administered the oath of office to Carmichael during the meeting.

Board members encouraged the other applicants to remain involved with district work and noted the strength of the applicant pool. The board also confirmed committee assignments and asked staff to provide onboarding materials and emails for the new director.

Carmichael will serve the remainder of the current term (through December 2026) unless she chooses to run for election. The board did not take any additional action related to the vacancy beyond the appointment and committee assignments.

The board paused briefly during the process to allow a director to rejoin remotely under an emergency-participation rule and conducted a separate roll-call vote to permit that director\u0000s participation before voting on appointments.","The Isla Vista Community Services District board appointed Catherine Carmichael to fill a vacancy after interviewing five applicants.

The board adopted a resolution thanking UCSB Police Chief Alex Yao for 30 years in law enforcement and service that included collaboration with the district on student safety programs; the resolution passed by roll-call vote. Directors praised Chief Yao\u0000s partnership during the transition back to in-person campus life after the COVID-19 pandemic and his support for joint safety efforts.

The board also adopted a resolution honoring Fiona Sausage for multiple roles over several years, including community engagement project manager and work on the Isla Vista Mobility Plan, the compost collective and outreach programs. Directors and staff described Sausage as a creative, community-focused contributor; the board presented a framed resolution and remarks recognizing her service and wished her well in future plans.

Staff also acknowledged several interns who recently finished terms with the district: two long-term interns who had graduated this year, and other recent contributors including a data-analytics intern and community-engagement interns. District staff described their contributions to programs such as the compost collective, move-out operations, community-space programming and data dashboards.

Directors and staff thanked all departing employees and interns, encouraged them to remain involved with Isla Vista, and noted the district will post job openings as roles are vacated. No formal actions beyond the resolutions and public expressions of thanks were taken.","At its meeting the board passed resolutions honoring UCSB Police Chief Alex Yao and staff member Fiona Sausage, and acknowledged several interns and departing staff who contributed to district programs.",{"_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},6186151,"Isla Vista CSD adopts preliminary FY 2025-26 budget, approves 3% staff cost-of-living adjustment",933,7713000,8646000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5078179-10687af72b86c76229ee488f5e1f87ea&start=7713&end=8646","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5078179-10687af72b86c76229ee488f5e1f87ea/thumbnail_7713000.jpg","/articles/6186151/Isla-Vista/Santa-Barbara-County/California/Isla-Vista-CSD-adopts-preliminary-FY-2025-26-budget-approves-3-staff-cost-of-living-adjustment","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6186151-cbf32289a9e8478e5640ba7e61889f48/orig.mp4?Expires=1776305943&Signature=Y54l~rUfcgsenDDc51g41BdfRbxONg5txkLtR5BPGkl9RVpUbOagiF-6KDXQCDG5xpazJhnQawZ95SlYbtvJaufzanzxon7W~U2tLclKzVzXh9TuI3B3uSM2Ywg1tVzxZSnq80YiYfPxySuvIydXHBi~QuYhcOO2r4MOOqRg4qPyqi~2LhvMaGQAnrxzg9IV738jc~ag0fAFxMyj3DcCWWk9i3KkrbpIjyiYv3smbcvySyxCJCq29g9fCA2YSLHPqzsF7s~1bqNINSerHAnMpfkTk4BPoS0~6FVTXgdImhgU2xMusJH7MKEVIsUcr6F1A~cgJaVsluRUlYcE~G98KQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Isla Vista Community Services District board adopted a preliminary fiscal year 2025-26 budget and approved a 3% cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) to the district\u0000s salary schedule effective July 1.

Finance staff presented a preliminary budget that projects revenues of roughly $1.7 million and total expenditures of about $1.9 million, producing a projected deficit of approximately $149,000. The shortfall is expected to be covered partly from reserves: staff proposed using an undesignated reserve draw and a portion of the strategic reserve for operating needs. The draft budget holds a designated $300,000 balance reserved for future parking capital startup costs.

At the board\u0000s finance committee meeting, staff tested a zero-based review of expenses; the committee recommended adoption of the preliminary budget and bringing a final, adjusted budget back at the August 12 meeting after year-end taxes and revenues are finalized. Staff noted that final tax receipts for the fiscal year will not be known until late June and that refinements will be made before the August adoption.

Separately, the board unanimously approved a 3% increase to salary ranges (a COLA) to take effect July 1; the cost to the district is roughly $33,000 for permanent staff. Directors said the increase reflects rising living costs and the district\u0000s reliance on a small, professional staff to run community programs. The COLA was adopted by motion and roll-call vote.

The preliminary budget segments spending as follows: operations and administration (including insurance and software), community programs and engagement, public works and sustainability (including composting, beautification crews and move-out operations), housing mediation and a small safety program. Grants and sponsorships are included as aspirational revenue sources but not relied upon in the baseline. Staff will return with a final budget in August and continue to pursue grant opportunities and revenue diversification.","The board approved a preliminary FY 2025-26 budget that projects a $149,000 deficit and authorized a 3% salary adjustment for staff effective July 1.
