CHICO — The Chico city councilors on the Internal Affairs Committee may have a more lively meeting this afternoon than the full council does Tuesday evening, based on the agendas for each.
The IAC — Vice Mayor Kasey Reynolds, Councilor Tom Van Overbeek (the chair) and Councilor Addison Winslow — will review the prospect of preferential parking along Vallombrosa Way and consider alcohol at private events in City Plaza.
The next night, they and their colleagues will decide on confirming the hire of a new animal services manager, the lone action item after a consent agenda containing a handful of contractual matters. Closed session features updates on labor talks, five real estate negotiations and four pieces of litigation.
Internal Affairs will hear from Public Works on a request to tighten parking restrictions on Vallombrosa Way, which runs from Vallombrosa Avenue along One-Mile Recreation Area to a cul-de-sac behind the CARD Community Center. Public Works proposes a preferential parking district: prioritizing residents from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. but otherwise keeping the street open to public parking during Bidwell Park’s operational hours.
The committee will weigh whether to bring a recommendation forward to the council on that parking proposition as well as further expanding the sale or provision of alcoholic beverages in the downtown plaza to private events.
Council considerations Tuesday include approving Gina Catallo-Kokoletsos to oversee the Animal Services Division, where she’s worked for a decade; signing off on continuing recruitment bonuses for police officers and contracts for other labor groups; determining whether the 99 Cents Only Store on Pillsbury Road may sell alcohol; and offering direction on a $2.7 million grant application for the Encampment Resolution Funding Program.
