Feb 27, 2026

The full story

The council conducted second readings and adopted two technical ordinances. Ordinance 549 updates the municipal code for the city’s cross‑connection control program; staff warned the program requires recordkeeping and periodic inspections of backflow prevention devices and that staff time and an inspection fee will be needed to administer the program. Ordinance 545 restates the city’s adoption of the California fire hazard severity zone map with corrected titling and dates.
