City Council Meeting October 12, 2026

The October 12, 2026, City Council meeting of the City of Simi Valley included proclamations and community reports, with the principal policy discussion focused on tiny homes on wheels. After staff presented three regulatory options and residents and business representatives commented on affordability, safety, enforcement, and neighborhood impacts, the council voted to direct staff to draft municipal code amendments based on Option 3, allowing consideration of tiny homes on wheels as accessory livable units in residential zones. The direction includes further research on the city’s financial impacts and potential liability; it does not approve an ordinance or authorize specific homes. The motion passed, with Council Member Rhodes voting no. A motion to take no action failed.

The council also considered a CalPERS contract amendment to incorporate pension-reform language. Staff reported that the change was required by CalPERS and had no financial impact; the council unanimously approved the resolution of intention and introduced the related ordinance, with final determination scheduled for the October 26 meeting. No procurement awards, vendor selections, or purchasing approvals were identified. The Youth Council reported receiving two Friday Night Live grants funded by the California Department of Public Health for prevention campaigns, but no grant amounts or spending approvals were discussed.
