Oceanside City Council Meeting: October 21, 2026

At the October 21, 2026 Oceanside City Council meeting, the council approved three procurement-related items, each by a 5–0 vote. It approved a $17,335 amendment to a professional services agreement with Nemo Group LLC and an agreement with Nielsen Construction California, Inc. for phase-one design-build services; the transcript garbles the latter agreement’s not-to-exceed amounts, so they cannot be confirmed. The council also approved short-term rental registration and compliance services, appropriated $85,500 from the General Fund’s unassigned fund balance, and approved an ongoing annual budget increase of $85,500. Staff said the existing contract had expired, an RFP received five responses, and Deckard was selected as the top-ranked respondent. In discussion, staff noted that 492 short-term rentals had been identified west of Coast Highway against a proposed cap of 480, and that unregistered rentals were the most common violation. Staff said non-coastal unpermitted operators may receive a $1,500 citation, while coastal-zone rules still begin with a warning.
