at regular intervals.
The City Council on Tuesday,

De Novo Flaming Group to pro-
vide consulting services to update
Avalon’s Housing Element.
Though the project was put out
for bids, no one put in bids by the
deadline. .
The contract is for a maximum
of $150,600.
This was a Consent Calendar
item, approved collectively along
with several other items.
The city is currently required
to plan for 27 housing units,
according to the staff report by
Assistant City Manager Michael
Farmer.
“The target date for adoption
set by the State of California is

Plan with the Housing Element
Update,” Parmer wrote.
By their unanimous approv-
al, The council found that no
bids were accepted by deadlines;
found that the city wouldn’t get a
competitive advantage by seek-
ing more bids, and authorized
the city manager to negotiate and
execute a contract with De Novo
Planning Group.
In other business:
0 The council adopted an ordi-
nance that expedite the permit-
ting process for electrical charg-
ing vehicles.
The council had introduced the
ordinance at a previous meeting.
The ordinance was made neces—
sary by a state mandate.
This was a Consent Calendar
item, voted on collectively with
out discussion by the council.
' In new business, the council
adopted an ordinance that amend
the regulation of sidewalk ven-
dors. If that sounds familiar, it
should: On July 22, the council
passed an urgency ordinance that
did the same thing.
But urgency ordinances are
temporary.
This week the Avalon City
Council approved the intro-
duction of a regular ordinance
that “amending Chapter 21 of
Title 5 of the Avalon Municipal
Code imposing regulations on
sidewalk vending in compliance
with Senate Bill 946,” accord-
ing to the staff report by City
Manager Denise Radde and
Administrative Analyst Devin
Hart. '
It seems the original sidewalk
vendor ordinance, developed in
2019, wasn’t clear about hours of
operation.
f‘Section 5-21.06 (b)(21) states:
H‘Vending hours are restricted
to the same hodrs of operations
as other businesses on the same
street as the sidewalk vendor,”
Hart and Radde wrote.
“On July 22, 2021 during a
Special City Council Meeting,
the City Council adopted an
urgency ordinance that repealed
and replaced Section 5-21.06(b)
(l8) and (21)to state specific
hours of operations for vendors
from 8 am. to 2 am,” Radde and
Hart wrote.
