ORDINANCE REPEALING HERMOSA BEACH MUNICIPAL CODE SECTION 2.24 PERTAINING TO THE DOWNTOWN BUSINESS AREA ENHANCEMENT DISTRICT COMMISSION

Recommendation:

It is recommended that the City Council introduce and waive further reading of the attached draft ordinance which repeals the Municipal Code provisions regarding the now defunct Downtown Business Area Enhancement District Commission.

Background:

At its budget workshop meeting of June 3, 1997, the Council requested that staff agendize an item pertaining to the future of the Downtown Enhancement Commission. The item was brought back for consideration at the July 22, 1997 meeting, at which time the Council directed that the Downtown Commission be discontinued and disbanded. At its meeting of September 9, 1997, the Mayor presented the outgoing Commissioners with plaques of appreciation for their work on the Commission and thanked them for their role in the revitalization of the downtown area.

Hermosa Beach Municipal Code Section 2.24 contains the provisions of Ordinance No. 93-1096, adopted by the Council on August 10, 1993, which established the Downtown Business Area Enhancement District Commission. Since the Commission is now defunct, making its regulations obsolete, it is appropriate that the entire Code section be repealed. The attached draft ordinance accomplishes that.
