Tuesday night's City Council meeting had a bit of everything: a heartfelt tribute to one of Hermosa's most familiar civic voices, a long-simmering fight over vacation rentals that finally came to a head, and a feel-good update from a beloved local club celebrating its 90th year.

Greenbelt is back on the table as a possible site for Hermosa Beach's first off-leash dog park, six weeks after the community group driving the project had walked away from it, following a Council vote Tuesday that revived the option and put a potential November ballot measure into play.
Hermosa Beach has roughly 3,000 dogs and not a single place to legally let any of them off-leash. The City Council on Tuesday will consider whether to change that, with Valley Park East emerging as the preferred location for the city's first off-leash dog park.
