CityCouncil | 2016-03-01 | 22 | Councilmember Daysog amended the motion to exempt owners of up to two residential units, and only two units, in Alameda, from the requirement to pay relocation assistance in the specific instance of family move-in. The proposed amendment to the ordinance failed due to a lack of second. Councilmember Oddie seconded the motion, which carried by the following voice vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Daysog, Ezzy Ashcraft, Oddie and Mayor Spencer - 4. Noes: Councilmember Matarrese - 1. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft moved adoption of the urgency ordinance extending within the City of Alameda a temporary (an additional 22 days) moratorium on rent increases for certain residential rental properties and on evictions from all residential rental properties except for just cause. Vice Mayor Matarrese seconded the motion. Under discussion, Councilmember Oddie inquired how could Council ensure the moratorium covers the period in the event the ordinance is suspended due to a referendum. The Community Development Director responded another urgency ordinance extending the time frame could be brought back. In response to Councilmember Oddie's inquiry, the Community Development Director stated a special meeting to consider an urgency ordinance could be scheduled if necessary. The Assistant City Attorney stated if an effort of a referendum is under way, an urgency ordinance would be brought back right away to avoid a gap. On the call for the question, the motion carried by unanimous voice vote - 5. CITY MANAGER COMMUNICATIONS None. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS, NON-AGENDA (16-116) Catherine Pauling, Alameda Renters Coalition, stated that she is concerned the City is under-collecting the fees from rental property businesses.
