14.C – REQUEST FOR REHEARING OF COUNCIL DECISION RELATED TO SECOND STEP OF MAYOR PATTERSON’S 2-STEP PROCESS REQUEST TO DISCUSS ADOPTING AN INDUSTRIAL SAFETY ORDINANCE

On June 19, 2018, the City Council discussed Mayor Patterson’s “two-step request” to direct staff to prepare an Industrial Safety Ordinance (ISO). The Council voted to delay action related to an ISO until November 2018 in order to provide time for Valero to install air monitoring equipment. On June 28, 2018, the City Clerk received a request for rehearing of the City Council’s vote as permitted under Benicia Municipal Code section 1.44.050. Only the decision of whether or not to rehear the matter is brought forward for Council determination tonight. If Council decides to rehear the matter, that action will be scheduled for a future meeting.

Staff Recommendation:

Discuss the application submitted for rehearing of the decision and vote conducted by the City Council on June 19, 2018, in conjunction with Mayor Patterson’s two-step request for consideration of an Industrial Safety Ordinance.
