CityCouncil | 2019-07-02 | 17 | Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft stated annual registry seems a bit burdensome. The Community Development Director stated the annual registry balances the desire for data against the administrative burden; registry for single family homes can be included; staff recommends very few registration questions for Costa Hawkins units; data for housing services will be helpful in tracking housing stock. Vice Mayor Knox White stated there is benefit to having annual information about rent paid; expressed support for annual data collection on rent and providing a check box on the form for the option of "no changes;" stated the registry issue can come back off- agenda which can be agendized by request if needed. Councilmember Oddie expressed support of the registry returning to Council; stated landlords and tenants should be engaged in the process. Councilmember Vella expressed concern over collecting information related to number of tenants in one unit or other personally identifying information. The City Attorney stated there is no plan to receive said information in the registry. Councilmember Vella expressed support for providing direction to staff. Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft expressed support for allowing staff to promulgate the direction provided. Councilmember Oddie stated if he does not like the regulation, he will bring a Referral. Vice Mayor Knox White stated that he would like to ensure stakeholders from both sides are engaged in the discussion.
