CityCouncil | 2016-12-06 | 12 | The City Attorney responded Council can begin the process; amending the ordinance requires two readings, plus 30 days; she does not recommend that Council adopt the resolutions if more clarification is being requested to ensure that the HOA has complied with the requirements of the newly amended ordinance; staff would bring back the resolutions once the HOA has complied. Mayor Spencer inquired whether the amendments would include not passing the additional costs to homeowners and requiring written notice be sent via mail to each homeowner. Councilmember Oddie stated that he supports moving forward with the current recommendation. The City Attorney stated that staff needs direction; she does not think the resolutions should be passed until staff verifies that there has been compliance with the ordinance amendments. Councilmember Oddie stated that he is confused about why the motion was presented asking Council to take three actions. The City Attorney stated staff was told that notices were sent out to all homeowners, which is not the case. Mayor Spencer stated a speaker requested there could be clarification that the fees would not be passed through to the homeowners. Vice Mayor Matarrese inquired whether Council could adopt the first reading of the ordinance with an amendment that states all members of the HOA must be notified in writing 10 days prior to the board taking action. Mayor Spencer stated there needs to be clarification that letters would actually be mailed out to homeowners, not just posted in a communal location. Vice Mayor Matarrese stated the distinction is that the letters are sent out; stated the ordinance can be amended and satisfy the first reading; adoption of the resolutions can come back at the same time as the second reading to allow homeowners to come to the Council meeting. The City Manager inquired whether the Board can have a meeting to reconfirm the decision. Mayor Spencer inquired where not passing through the cost of the fee would be added. In response to the City Manager's inquiry, the Base Reuse Director responded staff would not be able to come back by the December 20th meeting; stated the second reading of the ordinance could be postponed or second reading could occur and the Regular Meeting Alameda City Council 12 December 6, 2016 | CityCouncil/2016-12-06.pdf |
