The Santa Monica City Council is set to convene at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, May 14.
Want to know what's on the agenda? Read on for a rundown of what's on tap for discussion and voting.
The council will first hear reading of an ordinance that would ban single-room housing citywide. There are caveats: Such housing would be allowed if it were proposed as a 100% Affordable Housing Project, or for specialized uses like emergency shelters, transitional housing or supportive housing.
Members are also scheduled to consider a $10.2 million, seven-year contract with Cedarwood-Young Inc., dba Allan Co., for processing recyclables. The contract would have options to extend up to 10 years, for a total of $16.3 million.
There are also 13 items on the consent calendar — routine business and reports that are approved as a bloc unless a council member pulls an item. Highlights include:
Extending the Hill & Dale Family Learning Center’s lease of the former Clover Park Fire Station for use as a child care center for five years at $1 per year.
Modifying the contract with Gilman Builders, Inc. for work on the City Hall Third Floor Building System Improvement Project for the Public Works Department, at a cost of $280,000.
Buying four dump trucks for Public Works from Southbay Truck Center, LLC for $411,461.
Amending the lease with the Growing Place Marine Park, 1406 Marine St., for continued use as a childcare center for five years at $1 per year.
Finally, the council is expected to accept Marc Morgenstern's resignation from the Santa Monica Library Board, and Amy Anderson's resignation from the planning commission. Both vacancies would then be published by the city.
