CityCouncil | 2009-12-15 | 13 | Councilmember Gilmore stated the Community Development Department created a list of complexes when working on the soft story ordinance; the list would provide an idea of the number of structures, which would be a good place to start. Councilmember Matarrese stated getting a report back from staff would be worthwhile; the report should indicate costs; costs need to be weighed against benefits; sometimes health, safety and maintenance issues end up costing the City money. Vice Mayor deHaan stated that he would like to see if there is a correlation between calls being placed and having on site management. Mayor Johnson stated a resident sent an e-mail regarding a complex on Buena Vista Avenue; there are issues related to general maintenance and oversight, not just Police and Fire calls. Councilmember Tam stated that she has received calls from Crolls Apartment residents; the building has problems due to an absentee landlord; the Rent Review Advisory Committee (RRAC) hears said issues; that she would like the RRAC to provide input; the State has complex tenant and landlord laws, that she does not want unintended consequences if the matter goes forward. Councilmember Gilmore stated that she would like staff input on enforcement, questioned whether managers would have to register each building. The Interim City Manager stated other cities ordinances could be reviewed. COUNCIL COMMUNICATIONS None.
