CityCouncil | 2016-01-05 | 37 | Councilmember Daysog stated that he would have liked to see something regarding mom and pop landlords and just cause eviction; however, we live in a world of compromise; focusing on Ordinance 1, Council began to flush out elements of how to move forward; he is concerned that the economics are not being dealt with seriously enough; more can be figured out over the coming weeks; at least Council is focusing on Ordinance 1. Mayor Spencer stated at least one email was received regarding changes being made to no longer allow pets. The Assistant City Attorney stated the issue has been addressed because pets are included in the definition of rent; increasing a pet fee would apply to reaching the threshold. Mayor Spencer stated that she would like the issue of changes being made to no longer allow pets to return to Council. The Assistant City Attorney stated perhaps the matter could be considered a reduction in service. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft inquired when the ordinance would return, to which the City Attorney responded staff could draft the new ordinance and bring back the first reading on February 2nd. The Assistant City Attorney suggested the ordinance return at the same time as the capital improvement plan to provide the whole picture. The City Attorney inquired when the plan would be ready, to which the Community Development Director responded the second meeting in February. Councilmember Oddie inquired whether the moratorium would have to be extended again. The Assistant City Attorney responded the moratorium has been extended until March. The City Attorney stated the Council could extend the moratorium again at said time to allow for a first and second reading and 30 days for the ordinance to become effective. Mayor Spencer stated that she is fine with doing so; stated staff should take the time needed; inquired whether Council agrees. After Council expressed consensus, Mayor Spencer stated a majority agrees. The Community Development Director stated staff will draft the ordinance based on the consensus direction.
