Finally passed. REGULAR AGENDA ITEMS (20-576) Public Hearing to Consider COVID-19 Related Response and Enforcement Activities; and (20-576A) Urgency Ordinance No. 3286, "Amending the Alameda Municipal Code By Adding a New Article 24-13 (Public Health) Providing for Enforcement of Alameda County Health Officer Orders and Directives." Adopted. The Planning, Building and Transportation Director and Recreation and Parks Dierctor gave a Power Point presentation. Vice Mayor Knox White inquired whether staff is assuming there will be people walking down the street administering citations for people not wearing masks. The Planning, Building and Transportation Director responded in the negative; stated the next phase is focused on businesses within commercial areas and encroachment permits, not focused on people walking down the street; businesses will not be cited at first sight, initial discussions will be conducted first. The Recreation and Parks Director stated the same will be conducted for parks, with a focus on large groups rather than individuals. Vice Mayor Knox White inquired whether the ordinance allows for the ability to enforce Public Health Orders from an administrative, versus criminal, process. The City Attorney responded in the affirmative; stated the ordinance provides that violations of County Health Orders generally would be a violation of the Municipal Code which opens enforcement opportunities as administrative citations and civil enforcement actions, which are deemed as unlikely. Councilmember Oddie inquired whether the beach and other larger commercial property areas would be covered. The Planning, Building and Transportation Director responded all areas designated as commercial areas throughout the City will be covered. The Recreation and Parks Director stated further conversation with East Bay Regional Parks District (EBRPD) is needed in order to flesh out the beach coverage details; stated the beach will fall under the purview of the ordinance. Councilmember Oddie expressed concern about racially disparate reporting; inquired the level of intensity allowed for reporting. The Planning, Building and Transportation Director responded staff's current plan is to ensure a secure containment system is in place in order to be permitted to cut hair outside; stated the containment system has not yet been defined; discussed use of mesh enclosure systems; stated Regular Meeting Alameda City Council September 1, 2020 | CityCouncil/2020-09-01.pdf |
