PassedCity service fees
The council voted to hear from anyone who wants to speak, and change the city's fee schedule for city services, finding the change does not need environmental review under state law because the fees only cover the cost of running the services.

PassedHidden Valley Pickleball
The council voted to let the city manager sign a consultant services contract, and any changes to it, with RHHA for up to $190,000 to design the Hidden Valley Pickleball Project (C5047), and move $200,000 from the Park and Recreation Impact Fee (Fund 3437) to Project C5047.
The council voted to let the city manager sign a Subordination Agreement with the John Muir Land Trust (JMLT) and the United States of America to help transfer the former West Hills Farm parcel (Assessor's Parcel Number 387-080-001) to the National Park Service to expand the John Muir National Historic Site.
Context
Why The National Park Service will not take ownership of the land while a rule limiting it to open space and recreation use still applies, so this agreement is needed to let the transfer happen.
