DAVE MASON / NEWS-PRESSThe Santa Barbara City Council will discuss parades and parklets on State Street at its meeting today.
State Street will be on the minds of Santa Barbara City Council members at their meeting at 2 p.m. today at Santa Barbara City Hall, 735 Anacapa St.
The council will review an update on State Street interim operations and could direct the staff concerning the resumption of parades and when businesses should change their parklets to portable configurations. The council will also consider a usage fee for establishing outdoor facilities such as parklets.
The City Council is also scheduled to:

— Consider authorizing the Santa Barbara Airport director to increase a services agreement with GSI Environmental Inc. in the amount of $648,173 for site investigation work. The city said this is necessary to implement a supplemental work plan approved by the Regional Water Quality Board.
— Proclaim July as “Parks Make Life Better Month.”
