body
Background:
In August 2017, Council approved an ordinance brought forth by Information Technology (IT) staff, amending Manteca Municipal Code section 16.23.060, Street Name Standards and Signs.
The approved Ordinance (O2017-17) established street name standards, which helps improve public safety response times, improves levels of delivery services, and assists the general public in locating residential and commercial buildings. The street name review procedure is a collaborative process between City staff (both public safety and non-public safety) and other local government agencies. The goal is to minimize the difficulty and confusion in locating properties and buildings, for delivery services, the general public, and particularly emergency services, especially during high stress situations.
IT has been conducting a review of outdated policies, procedures, ordinances, and other related documents. Specifically, Ordinance O2017-17 has not undergone a formal review since 2017. As part of this review process, IT staff engaged with public safety personnel from both the Fire and Police Departments, identifying several essential modifications and additions.
IT staff, in a collaborative effort with public safety staff, are recommending approval of the modifications and additions made in the attached redlined document (Attachment 2 - Redlined Ordinance).
Fiscal Impact:
There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.
