The Regular Meeting of the Community and Economic Development Standing Committee focused on considering input regarding the Proposed High Street Entertainment Zone. This discussion followed the authorization of such zones by Senate Bill 969. Staff presented three management models for the zone: Internal Management, Event-Based Management (tied to Temporary Use Permits), and Third-Party Management. The discussion detailed the operational scope, boundary definitions (High Street between Moorpark Avenue and Spring Road), eligible licensees, and necessary compliance requirements, including security and liability waivers. Staff also analyzed the fiscal impact, comparing it to a larger proposal in Ventura, and noted that costs for existing events would not result in a net increase. The committee was recommended to direct staff to develop a draft ordinance and management plan for a two-year pilot program utilizing the event-based model, including further legal evaluation of including the privately-owned High Street Depot property lawn.

The committee discussed and recommended the adoption of the 2026 Legislative Platform Update to guide the city's legislative and intergovernmental activities. Additionally, the committee approved the recommendation to reestablish policy regarding Warrant Issuance and Signing Authority within the City Council Policies.
