CONSENT CALENDAR
Consent calendar items are approved unanimously in one motion unless a member of the City Council, staff or public "pulls" the item, which then requires opening it for public comment and a separate vote.
Among the items approved unanimously:
•A public hearing was set for Feb. 7 on the proposed change of Clarisa Avenue and Sorce Lane to Castle Rock Road and to change the existing non-uniform neighborhood address assignment to a two digit system.
Staff was directed to prepare the necessary public noticing.
•Acceptance of state-funded 911 equipment.
The state grant was based on the volume of 911 calls in Laguna Beach on a system that is more than seven years old.
•Appointment of Deputy Fire Chief Jeff LaTendresse to a one-year term on the Orange County-City Hazardous Material Emergency Response Joint Powers Authority Board.
•Discounted parking at the ACT V lot from $7 to $3 when sold as part of the 2012 Summer Festival Passport program.
