The City Council introduced an ordinance to amend Chapter 2.24 of the Los Altos Municipal Code addressing disposal of unclaimed property held by the police department. Staff clarified the proposed changes apply to evidence and safekeeping items (including items held after trials) rather than other city‑held property tied to separate programs such as no‑camping enforcement.
Council moved to introduce the ordinance by title only and waive first reading; the motion passed unanimously. The item will return for adoption at a future meeting per council procedure.
Outcome: Ordinance introduced; vote unanimous.
