Belmont council adopts code cleanup and enforcement amendments; minutes edits to be incorporated
Summary
The City Council voted 5-0 on Sept. 9 to adopt ordinance amendments to the Belmont City Code that update cleanup, enforcement and miscellaneous provisions; council members requested edits to meeting minutes that will be incorporated into the official record.
The Belmont City Council on Sept. 9 adopted ordinance amendments described as “Belmont City Code cleanup updates and enforcement amendments” during the consent calendar. Council moved approval of the ordinance and the measure passed on a 5-0 roll call.
The ordinance was presented on the consent calendar; council members asked for minor edits to the meeting minutes associated with the item and the clerk said those edits would be added to the official record. Vice Mayor Peng Manganeris commented that the ordinance updates are an opportunity to review outdated rules—she noted, as an example, that older code provisions once required permits for fortune-tellers, rock crushing and public dancing and said the updated wording reflects changes in common practice.
City staff and council did not discuss specific ordinance language in detail during the public meeting; the clerk recorded the roll-call vote as follows: Council member Jordan — yes; Council member LaMerle — yes; Council member McCune — aye; Vice Mayor Peng Manganeris — aye; Mayor Bates — aye. No public comment was recorded on the consent item at the time of the vote.
Councilmembers asked that the clerk incorporate the agreed edits to the minutes before finalization; no additional actions or conditions were announced during the meeting.
