Report

BACKGROUND
Existing policies in the Council Policy Manual were reviewed and categorized in the Council Policy Work Plan Matrix (Attachment 1), which categorizes policies in five review categories: maintain status quo, further review, legal review, administrative in nature, or rescission. On June 12, 2018, the Council rescinded six outdated policies: Policy and Procedure (P&P) 010 City Council Meetings Video Tapes, P&P 012 Electronic Organizers, P&P 013 Fireworks Display Permit, P&P 021 Public Requests for Photocopies of Agenda Items, P&P 023 Recreational Bonfires, and P&P 026 Sale of Used Fire Helmets or Police Equipment as Mementos. As a continuation of the work plan, staff has reviewed the Council Policy Work Plan Matrix and identified eight policies, which are administrative in nature, for rescission.

DISCUSSION
As a continuance of the Council Policy Manual Work Plan, staff identified additional policies recommended for rescission: Council Policy 001 Amplified Sound Permits (Attachment 2), Council Policy 005 Block Parties (Attachment 3), Council Policy 011 Dance Permit (Attachment 4), Council Policy 019 Parades and Processions (Attachment 5), Council Policy 022 Races/"Fun Runs"/Walks (Attachment 6), Council Policy 025 Sale of City of Santa Clara Flags (Attachment 7), Council Policy 027 Special Outdoor Events on City Property (Attachment 8), and Council Policy 044 Feeding Animals in City Parks (Attachment 9).
