CityCouncil | 2019-07-16 | 5 | (19-418) Recommendation to Authorize the City Attorney to Join as Amicus Curiae on Behalf of the City in Support of Lawsuits Concerning Topics for which the Council has Already Taken an Official Policy Position. The City Attorney gave a brief presentation. Expressed concern over the proposal; urged the Council keeps its authority: Former Mayor Trish Spencer, Alameda. Councilmember Daysog stated that his understanding of the staff report is the City Attorney's office is seeking ability to join an amicus brief regarding platforms related to short-term rentals; local governments would like to regulate platforms related to AirBNB or VRBO; Council is not granting the City Attorney's office to authorize anything related to local control; expressed support. Councilmember Oddie stated giving authority is a great idea, when Council does not have the time to agendize something; requested a copy of the brief be presented as an informational item. Councilmember Oddie moved approval of the staff recommendation. Councilmember Daysog seconded the motion, which carried by unanimous voice vote - 5. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business, Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft adjourned the meeting at 6:54 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Lara Weisiger City Clerk The agenda for this meeting was posted in accordance with the Sunshine Ordinance.
