5.1. CONSIDERATION OF A RESOLUTION INITIATING PROCEEDINGS TO ANNEX PROPERTY: GLENWOOD AVENUE ANNEXATION DISTRICT NO. 3 Council is being asked to initiate proceedings for the annexation of a roughly 43-acre unincorporated island on the western edge of the community near the intersection of Glenwood Avenue and Oak Way. The area has been within the City's Sphere of Influence for several decades. Over the past several years, numerous parcels in the proposed annexation area required connection to the City's sanitary sewer system due to failing septic systems. Extension of City municipal services (e.g., sewer) outside of Chico's jurisdiction requires approval by the Butte Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCo). Butte LAFCo approved the extension of City sewer service to several parcels conditioned upon future annexation. Following submittal by the City of an annexation application, LAFCo will schedule a noticed public hearing to consider the application consistent with State law. (Report - Brendan Vieg, Community Development Director)

5.2. ORDINANCE REPEALING CHAPTER 2.54 ENTITLED "CLIMATE ACTION COMMISSION" At its meeting of September 21, 2021, the Council directed staff by a 5-2 vote, with Councilmember Bennett and Councilmember Brown opposed, to change the Climate Action Commission (CAC) from a standing commission back to an ad hoc advisory body. The Climate Action Commission was formally created as a standing City commission in 2019, after having served for a number of years as an ad hoc Sustainability Task Force working diligently to create a climate action plan and to review the City's efforts in reducing greenhouse gases. Council's recent direction does not end the work of the Commission nor limits climate action as a City priority, but instead provides the ability for the work to continue via an ad hoc committee that can meet when needed. Most importantly, the ad hoc committee will continue to provide guidance and recommendations to both staff and the Council on climate action issues. In order to make the change to the structure of the Commission, the Council will need to adopt an ordinance repealing Chapter 2.54 - Climate Action Commission which requires a first and second reading. The change would then become effective 30 days following the final adoption of the ordinance. (Report - Deborah R. Presson, City Clerk & Elections Official)
