The meeting time for the city council is set to be at 12:00 (noon) On Monday November 14th. Please make your voice heard! It's important to our community.
The city council will consider removing the requirement for Coastal Commission approval of the Street Vending Ordinance which has held up enforcement in our community and the other communities in the coastal zone. If approved, there will be a second reading on December 6th with enforcement to finally begin 30 days later.
We should not assume that it is a slam dunk that the city council will approve removing the requirement. The vending community will doubtlessly put up strong opposition to this and may request other amendments to the street vending ordinance. Any amendments will further delay enforcement.
We should support the removal of the Coastal Commission approval requirement WITHOUT any amendments to the ordinance approved by the city council on May 22nd.
The Mission Beach community has spoken out and been heard for the past year and it vital that this continues.
Every voice is needed, PLEASE do not be complacent. There are four different ways you can contribute. Please do two of the following. The list is in order of effectiveness.
1. Come to the city council hearing at NOON 12:00 PM on November 14th and speak in person. prepare a one minute speech. (yes, you will be there for a few hours but our community is worth it)

“in support of the removal of the Coastal Commission approval requirement WITHOUT any amendments to the street vending ordinance approved by the city council on May 22nd. By doing so the city council can ensure that our coastal parks and pathways can be enjoyed by the public as nature retreats unspoiled by commercial activities.
Thank you to the many of you who have spent a lot of time on this in the past, you MUST continue to do so that we can put this issue to bed once and for all.
Please follow the following instructions on the best way to send an email to all of the city council offices.
Email INSTRUCTIONS:
• Write one letter
• DO NOT identify your Council District or include your home address!
We want each City Official to think the letter writer is a constituent in their district.
• ALL NINE Council Members vote on every agenda item. Writing only to our specific Council Member does not accomplish the outcome we need when there are
NINE total votes being cast on every agenda item before City Council.
We need all Council Members on board!!!!!
