City Council meeting recap
Here are some highlights from Tuesday’s regular City Council meeting.
The City Council adopted the ordinance we introduced at the last meeting to phase out single use plastics at restaurants and other food establishments.
The first part goes into effect in June and will require food establishments to provide plastic cutlery, condiment packets and straws only upon request.
This is just one of several new environmental initiatives the City Council has approved recently. We’ll be sharing more about these programs in the coming weeks and months.
The goal is to phase these changes in over time, and make sure those affecting small businesses are coupled with ample notice and outreach from the city.
New police equipment use policy
The City Council approved an update to the Carlsbad Municipal Code (our local laws) to comply with a new state law having to do with certain vehicles and equipment used by law enforcement.
