BACKGROUND This omnibus ordinance and resolution amending the Pleasanton Municipal Code and Master Fee Schedule is an annual process to present minor and non-controversial changes to the Pleasanton Municipal Code and Master Fee Schedule. These matters are generally so small in nature that a stand-alone City Council agenda item to correct or amend them is not warranted. DISCUSSION This proposed omnibus ordinance and related resolution are for the following: Chapter 2.32 Parks & Recreation Commission — In 2000, the City Council adopted Ord. 1819 with the intent of making all City commissions organized in the same manner. This included allowing commissioners to serve a maximum of two consecutive full one year terms as chairperson of their commission. (SR 00:335.) However, an error in the ordinance only allowed for one term by the chairperson of the Parks & Recreation Commission. The proposed ordinance would correct this error in §2.32.070 (Organization) to allow two consecutive full terms, consistent with the Human Services, Youth, Planning, Library, Housing, and Civic Arts commissions. Chapter 5.12 [Business) License and Tax Payment — The proposed amendment of Section 5.04.010 (Definitions) clarifies the "Collector" function as having changed from the Finance Department to currently Economic Development, and updates Section 5.12.030 (Evidence of doing business) to clarify application where home office is base for offsite business operations. Chapter 5.12 currently references fees as being in the Master Fee Schedule, when such fees have previously not be included therein. The proposed resolution puts into the commonly available Master Fee Schedule the fees for business licenses, limited reports allowed per Section 5.08.050 (Information confidential), and fees to recover minimum administrative costs for license changes. Chapter 6.16 Drug Paraphernalia — The proposed ordinance repeals Chapter 6.16, as any display or sale of drug paraphernalia is prohibited by State law. The existing Chapter 6.16 was adopted in 1980 (Ord. 922) and mirrored 1980 State law. However, in 1982, State law changed to prohibit the display or sale of drug paraphernalia', but the Municipal Code was never amended to reflect that State law change. This amendment to repeal Chapter 6.16 will eliminate any confusion and be consistent with State law. Chapters 9.04 (Noise) and 18.84 (Site, Yard, Bulk, Usable Open Space and Landscaping Regulations) for Pools and Spas - The former Municipal Code Chapter 20.40 "Swimming Pools" was deleted as part of several code amendments to adopt the 2010 California Building Code (Ord. 2015). However, former Sections 20.40.130 "Location" and 20.40.135 "Noise Attenuation and Enclosures" had zoning-related regulations that are proposed to be added back to Chapter 9.04 (Noise) and Chapter 18.84 (Site, Yard ...) to address pool and spa location and equipment noise.
