The Record
Every vote the City Council and its commissions have taken, newest first, with a link to the minutes or video it came from.
Browse by yearWhat's in this ledger ↓Collapse ↑
What the city decided, who voted which way, and the document that proves it. No opinions live on this page; that's what issues are for.
Coverage note: extraction is ongoing, not yet every vote in every meeting back to the archive's start. Completeness is the goal, not yet the state. The years below show exactly what's covered so far; a year with no page has nothing extracted yet.
Which bodies: City Council, the Planning Commission, and the Historic Landmarks Commission sitting as full commissions. Not included: the HLC's two-member consent sessions, which review individual private properties; the block vote by which the full commission ratifies them is recorded here. The Architectural Board of Review and the Staff Hearing Officer are not covered; the Staff Hearing Officer is a single city official whose determinations are not votes.

ITEM 16 ·NOT PART OF A TRACKED ISSUE
Councilmembers Santamaria/Sneddon to: 1. Add three uncodified intent sections from January 2024 ordinance and 2-person memo, as follows: SECTION 5. The provisions of this Ordinance shall apply to proceedings to terminate a tenancy or recover possession of a unit that have not been fully completed before the effective date of this Ordinance. If a final judgment awarding possession of a unit has not been entered or the owner has not otherwise lawfully obtained possession of a unit under Chapter 26.50 of the Santa Barbara Municipal Code as it existed before the effective date of this Ordinance, then the owner must comply with the provisions of this Ordinance, including giving a new notice of termination, before termination of the tenancy or recovery of possession of a unit. SECTION 6. If any section, subsection, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase of this Chapter or any part hereof is for any reason held to be unconstitutional, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this Chapter of any part hereof. The City Council declares that it would have passed each section, subsection, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase hereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, subdivisions, paragraphs, sentences, clauses or phrases be declared unconstitutional. SECTION 7. The City Council finds that, on the basis of the whole record and exercising its independent judgment, this Ordinance is not subject to environmental review pursuant to the State Guidelines for Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act Sections 15060(c)(3) pertaining to activities that will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect change to the environment and 15061(b)(3) because this Ordinance has no potential for resulting in physical change to the environment directly or indirectly in that it merely regulates existing physical development. 2. Introduce, and subsequently adopt, by reading of title only, an Ordinance of the Council of the City of Santa Barbara Amending the Municipal Code by Amending Sections 26.50.040, 26.50.055, and 26.50.070, and the Addition of Section 26.50.090, Relating to Just Cause Evictions; 3. Return with the proposed ordinance for the April 29, 2025 consent calendar; and 4. Direct staff to research an appeals process and return with an appeals process proposal at a later date.
