Summary

Daly City Council commended Director Tatum Mothershed on her retirement and adopted two ordinances amending municipal code chapters for the Arts & Culture and Recreation commissions on second reading; both ordinances passed by unanimous roll call votes.

The Daly City Council adopted a retirement resolution recognizing Tatum Mothershed for more than 26 years of service to the city and approved two municipal-code amendments on second reading regarding the Arts & Culture Commission and the Recreation Commission.

City Manager Tom Piccolotti introduced the resolution honoring Mothershed’s long service; councilmembers offered tributes before the resolution was moved, seconded and approved as part of the consent calendar’s pulled-item process.

On substantive code changes, City Attorney Kelly Scott summarized two second-reading ordinances: one amending Chapter 2.16 related to the Arts and Culture Commission and another amending Chapter 2.2 related to the Recreation Commission. Both ordinances had been introduced at a prior meeting and were up for adoption on Jan. 26. Council moved and seconded the motions for adoption; the council recorded unanimous roll-call votes of "aye" from members present: Miss DiGiovanni, Doctor Rod, Miss Perano, Miss Manalo and Glenn Sylvester.

What passed: - Resolution commending Tatum Mothershed on the occasion of her retirement (item 14 on the consent calendar). - Ordinance amending Chapter 2.16 (Arts & Culture Commission) — adopted on second reading. - Ordinance amending Chapter 2.2 (Recreation Commission) — adopted on second reading.

Procedural notes: The consent calendar was initially approved with item 14 pulled for separate recognition; item 14 (the Mothershed resolution) was then moved, seconded and approved.

Next steps: The ordinances take effect according to the municipal code’s standard effective date for adopted ordinances unless otherwise specified in the text of each ordinance; staff did not announce alternate effective dates at the meeting.
