CityCouncil | 2017-04-07 | 9 | Mayor Spencer stated the majority of Council supports the recommendation; that she would not support the relocation fees being set at the entire FMR; using a percentage could be reviewed; basing the formula on the amount the tenant is paying is the cleanest and fairest method. The Community Development Director stated there is a difference between FMR and the payment standard in Alameda; the Housing Authority currently has the payment standard as 110% of FMR. Mayor Spencer stated the City has limited increasing rent; a number of landlords charge under market; expressed concern over the amount the landlord could owe basing relocation fees on FMR. Councilmember Oddie stated that he did not suggest setting the amount at the full FMR; however, he believes there should be a floor; staff can return to Council with a suggestion. The Community Development Director outlined the next provision requiring the notice to be in writing. Mayor Spencer inquired whether the majority of Council agrees. The Council responded in the affirmative. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft noted the issue is the basis of her desire to have a standardized lease. The Community Development Director outlined the next provision regarding the second payment being three business days after the tenant leaves the unit. Mayor Spencer inquired whether everyone is agreeable, to which the Council responded in the affirmative. The Community Development Director outlined the provision that requires the landlord to notify the tenant in writing about being able to remain in the unit. Mayor Spencer outlined the specific timeline which should be included; inquired whether Council agrees with the provision. The Council responded in the affirmative. The Community Development Director outlined the provision which requires the tenant to continue to pay rent if they remain in the unit. The Council agreed with including the provision.
