Laguna Beach could close the book on a street performer ordinance introduced last month at the next City Council meeting on Tuesday.
The ordinance, which laid out guidelines for when, where and how street performers could engage in such activities in a manner that did not adversely impact public safety or the ability of businesses to operate, was brought before the council on June 15.
When it returned to the council for a second reading, the item was continued, with the council directing city staff to identify sites at which street performers would be allowed to perform.

My column has me exploring Laguna Beach. Last week it took me to the Top of the World neighborhood and Alta Laguna Park. Towards the bottom of my drive up Park Avenue, I saw the morning walkers and joggers. As the road steepened there were a few determined cyclists who were pumping hard on their pedals to make it up the hill. When I reached the top, the Park was crowded with hikers heading out on the trails and mountain bikers strapping on their helmets and readying themselves to tackle the backcountry. I was sitting comfortably in my car listening to the radio and watching all this activity like a sea slug. I had let myself get dreadfully out of shape and it was time to do something about it.
