City public-works staff summarized a pilot no-parking street-sweeping program and recommended broader adoption after monthly trash assessments showed reductions in most pilot zones.

Public Works presented that the pilot covered three areas with six zones, tracked approximately 92 cubic yards of debris collected from March through October and used a signage and outreach approach that included mailers, open-house events and on-site posters. Staff said warnings were issued initially and citations followed; no tows occurred during the pilot. California Coastal Commission staff told city staff they would support expanding hours and locations for no-parking prohibitions related to coastal trash control.

Councilmember Golder moved to adopt the staff recommendation; the vice mayor seconded and the council approved the measure on a roll call.

Why it matters: The program is one of several actions cities may use to comply with state water-quality trash mandates aimed at reducing litter and preventing stormwater pollution by 2030.

What's next: Public Works will work on implementation details, permitting for any right-of-way work and continued community outreach.
