Council approvals at-a-glance: billboard ordinance, CDBG allocation, consent calendar
Summary
At the meeting the Santa Fe Springs City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1162 (billboards on I-605), approved a $131,146 CDBG allocation, and approved the consent calendar (items 7–22). Public hearing items had no public speakers recorded.
The Santa Fe Springs City Council took several formal actions during the meeting.
• Ordinance No. 1162 (Item 6): The council adopted amendments to the municipal code related to billboards along Interstate 605, including a new definition for digital/static billboards, expansion into public-facility zones in some locations, and reduced spacing requirements in selected cases. The public hearing produced no speakers; the motion passed and the verbal vote was recorded as “Aye.” No roll-call tally was read into the record.
• CDBG allocation (Item 5): The council approved a resolution to accept $131,146 in Community Development Block Grant funds passed through Los Angeles County, allocating approximately 85% to the home-improvement program and about 15% to the TEAM public-service program. Staff noted Santa Fe Springs is not an ‘entitled’ city and therefore receives a smaller, county-administered allocation. The public hearing for the allocation had no speakers; the council voted to approve the resolution.
• Consent Calendar (Items 7–22): The council approved the consent calendar (16 items) in a single vote; no items were pulled for separate discussion. The motion to approve the consent calendar carried with verbal “Aye” votes; the transcript does not include a roll-call tally for individual members.
Other meeting notes: The council reported a closed-session direction to enter into a settlement agreement in People v. Purdue Pharma LP (case No. 19STCV19045) and heard presentations from the Heritage Arts Advisory Committee and city staff about Rose Parade participation and community programs. Several proclamations and community presentations were accepted; no contested roll-call votes with recorded tallies were present in the transcript for the items above.
