CityCouncil | 2016-01-05 | 28 | The Community Development Director stated that she is going off the list regarding additional requirements and is going to skip the grounds for eviction and relocation assistance because maybe the monetary penalties and enforcement can be solved; inquired whether there is Council consensus to support monetary penalties and enforcement of the ordinance. Mayor Spencer and Councilmember Oddie responded in the affirmative. Mayor Spencer stated said matter will be figured out when the ordinance comes back. The Community Development Director inquired whether or not there is support for a sunset provision. Mayor Spencer responded that she wants annual review. Vice Mayor Matarrese stated annual review is fine; that he is not sure there is a need for the ordinance to include a sunset clause. Mayor Spencer stated a sunset clause is not needed if there is annual review. Councilmember Oddie stated an annual review is fine, but he likes the idea of a sunset in case there are unintended consequences. Mayor Spencer concurred with Councilmember Oddie's suggestion. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft also concurred with Councilmember Oddie; stated new territory is being charted. Mayor Spencer stated three members are in support of annual review and a sunset clause. The Community Development Director stated the ordinance will include an annual review and sunset clause; staff is setting aside the recommendations regarding the fee, fee study and appropriation of funds; that she would move on to tackling eviction protections; Ordinance 1 allows for no cause evictions, but is structured to dis- incentivize doing so solely to increase rents because the maximum rent increase is capped for the new tenant and landlords are required to pay relocation benefits. Mayor Spencer stated Council has not included a cap and is requiring going to the RRAC instead. The Community Development Director stated Council could create a cap on the increase for the next tenant as a separate item. Mayor Spencer stated the landlord representative indicated there is already a Code section regarding the matter; Council could adopt said provision.
