During a recent government meeting, officials faced challenges in achieving a quorum, with only 221 members present when 239 were needed. This absence of a quorum prevented a formal vote on a resolution, which ultimately was only recommended to the board of directors of the League of California Cities. The resolution, initially placed on the consent agenda, sparked debate, leading to a motion to discuss it further. However, this motion was denied, allowing the resolution to proceed without additional discussion.

Concerns were raised regarding the wording of the resolution, which some believe could potentially impact housing laws. Housing remains a pressing issue, particularly for cities in Southern California that are grappling with unapproved housing elements and ongoing litigation. The situation is exacerbated by builders' remedy projects, which are being pursued despite these challenges. Notably, cities located closest to the ocean are experiencing the most significant effects of these housing-related issues.
