Council codifies 'no through trucks' streets, tightens parking code and adopts FY26‑27 fee schedule
Summary
Council adopted an ordinance formalizing 'no through trucks' on specified streets (with North Shore Drive East added), approved parking‑related code housekeeping and adopted the FY26‑27 fee schedule (no fee changes), formalizing enforcement authority and clarifying responsible parties.
The council adopted a housekeeping ordinance to place existing 'no through trucks' restrictions into the municipal code and added North Shore Drive East (Sunset Boulevard to 6th Street) to make the restriction continuous. Police staff presented statutory language and an internal definition of a commercial motor vehicle for clarity; council adopted the ordinance by motion and voice vote.
Council also passed a municipal code text amendment to prohibit parking on several side streets and approved the fiscal year 2627 fee schedule; no fee changes were made — the action was a cleanup to ensure the schedule and ordinance language matched current enforcement practices. Police and staff explained that civil‑penalty authority for ordinance violations may be delegated to non‑law‑enforcement personnel where statute allows, and council confirmed that the police department would retain enforcement authority for criminal citations.
The changes aim to codify signs into enforceable ordinance language and correct typographical inconsistencies in the RFP and other agenda materials.
