| 1 | 3.1 | Redistricting Kick-off and Process | CC- Study Session | REDISTRICTING PROCESS: DECENNIAL REVIEW OF COUNCIL MEMBER DISTRICT BOUNDARIES
The Fair and Inclusive Redistricting for Municipalities and Political Subdivisions (FAIR MAPS) Act, requires cities and counties to engage communities in the redistricting process. Cities with district-based elections are required to update (“redistrict”) the district boundaries every ten years, following the receipt of updated population data from each federal decennial census. Santa Rosa is required to redistrict the Council district boundaries prior to the next City Council election in 2022.
Santa Rosa has contracted with Redistricting Partners, LLC, to assist the City in the redistricting process, including working within existing state and federal voting rights laws, the Fair Maps Act and new California statutes on redistricting for cities, and utilizing traditional redistricting criteria, borne out of state and local laws, caselaw, and best practices. Redistricting Partners will work with the City to facilitate the process in a collaborative, open and transparent manner. In this study session, | received and filed | |

| 1 | 15.1 | Urgency Ordinance - Short-Term Rentals | CC- Public Hearing | PUBLIC HEARING - SHORT-TERM RENTALS URGENCY ORDINANCE
BACKGROUND: The City does not currently have formally adopted regulations addressing the rental of residential properties for a period of less than 30 calendar days (short-term rentals) as a land use separate and distinct from a residential land use. Unregulated short-term rentals have the potential to pose public safety hazards by impacting the ability of neighborhoods to safely evacuate during emergency events due to excessive parking on narrow streets. There is also a decreased ability to communicate with transient renters who may not be familiar with local warning and alert systems. Unregulated short-term rental activities have also led to increased frequency of complaints related to noise, occupancy, and large events requesting Police, Code Enforcement, and Planning staff response despite a lack of resources or a regulatory framework for enforcement.
The purpose of this ordinance is to provide a regulatory framework for short-term rentals in order to preserve the public peace, welfare, health, and safety by providing | to waive reading of the text and adopt as amended | |

BACKGROUND: The Police Department contracted with White Bird Clinic, a non-profit organization that runs the Crisis Assistance Helping out on the Streets (CAHOOTS) program in Eugene, Oregon in 2020.

The concept of the inRESPONSE program was first presented to the Public Safety Subcommittee (PSS) in August 2020. The PSS provided support and feedback to the department to move forward with | to waive reading of the text and adopt | Pass |
