City Council - Mar 17, 2026
The permit parking ordinance is now city law after a 3-1 vote. Residents clashed over big work trucks like F-250s and F-350s parked on residential streets — some want them restricted, others worry ordinary family trucks will get caught. Enforcement officers will use discretion on whether trucks count as commercial.

The first reading of the permit parking ordinance was delayed a month so the full council — including the absent Councilmember Barragan — can weigh in on a program affecting where residents can park.
We'll email you when it's on an upcoming agenda and when it's voted on, at most once a day.
