Following brief comment regarding responding to speakers, the City Attorney noted Vice Mayor Vella is not a landlord.

Stated there are too many changes to the rent ordinance; there is no need for radical rent control; the amendments to the ordinance will shrink the rental market in Alameda: Marilyn Schumacher, Alameda. Stated the citizens of Alameda already voted for Measure L1; urged Council to leave the ordinance as is: Valerie Ruma, Alameda.
