CityCouncil | 2017-04-18 | 27 | issues; not having control over issues is difficult; having the discussion is important; he supports the referral. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft stated that she does not support Council returning to its role as Board of Commissioners for the HA; doing so would mean Council has the potential of placing the HA Section 8 funds in jeopardy; she feels the remedy is extreme with a lot of dangerous repercussions. Vice Mayor Vella stated that she has concerns about the fiscal impacts; Council could address some of the rent program issues in connection with the services contract; she would prefer to maintain the basic relationship instead of taking the bigger step and placing funds in jeopardy. Mayor Spencer stated that she would like to have more discussion on the referral; suggested a presentation from the HA to help Council understand how issues are being addressed; Council could reconsider after receiving more information; she does not support the referral at this point. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft stated the matter is not agendized and Council cannot provide direction beyond directing staff to present steps as the referral states. In response to Mayor Spencer's inquiry, Councilmember Matarrese stated modifying his referral would no longer make it a referral; suggested the next Rent Review Advisory Commission (RRAC) report or the management of rental complaints be expanded to include the status of the HA projects. The HA Executive Director stated there are privacy issues which may prevent disclosing tenant information; she would only be able to inform Council of general, statistical information. Councilmember Matarrese withdrew the referral. (17-270) Consider Directing Staff to Review and Update Alameda's 2008 Local Action Plan for Climate Protection. Not heard.
