COMMITTEE BUSINESS
1. Santa's Electric Light Parade Resident Parking Update — Staff shared an update on resident
parking solutions for the 2024 Santa's Electric Light Parade. Subcommittee was in favor and
recommended residents be notified in multiple and accessible ways. Staff will be notifying
residents this week.
2. Rod Run Event Update — At the request of the Mayor, staff proposed changing Rod Run
registration into two separate registrations for Cruise Night and Show& Shine. Staff confirmed
the meridian barricades used last year would not be used this year, which will provide more
flexibility in ingress/egress, and recommended limiting the amount of Cruise Night passes to
help improve traffic flow. Subcommittee had concerns on limiting registration and requested
staff meet with Riverside Sheriff's Office (RSO) to discuss safety concerns and exit route
additions. Staff will meet with RSO and come back to Subcommittee next month to discuss an
updated proposal.
3. Discuss Extended Hours for Lights at Park Amenities — Staff reported the pilot program of
extended hours at park amenities was positive but had concerns about staffing and rentals if the
extended hours continued. Subcommittee requested staff to investigate any potential Palomar
lighting ordinances and City noise concerns before continuing the discussion or making further
recommendations. Staff has since confirmed that Palomar permits lights until 11 pm; this will
be reflected in the recommendation to the Subcommittee next month.
4. Butterfly Garden Service Project at Ronald H. Roberts Temecula Public Library — Staff
reported on the new butterfly garden installation at the Ronald H. Roberts Temecula Public
Library. The Native Plant Network group has adopted the butterfly garden and will maintain it
upon completion. Subcommittee was supportive of the project.
ADJOURNMENT: The meeting was adjourned at 4:59 PM.
