CityCouncil | 2020-07-21 | 16 | Extending the Term for an Additional 12 Months with One 12-Month Extension Option, Removing Overflow Parking from the Leased Premises, and Providing One (1) Month of Rent Abatement. Introduced. The Assistant Community Development Director gave a brief presentation. Councilmember Oddie inquired whether the tenant will be eligible for other commercial tenant rent abatement. The Assistant Community Development Director responded all tenants have been notified of the programs offered by the City; noted Williams-Sonoma has only requested one month of rent abatement. Councilmember Oddie moved introduction of the ordinance. Councilmember Daysog seconded the motion, which carried by the following roll call vote: Councilmembers Daysog: Aye; Knox White: Aye; Oddie: Aye; Vella: Aye; and Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft: Aye. Ayes: 5. (20-529) Introduction of an Uncodified Ordinance Amending Uncodified Ordinance No. 3275 to Extend the Time that Tenants Must Pay "Deferred Rent" from 210 Days to 395 Days Following the City Council's Rescission of the Local Emergency. Introduced. The Community Development Director gave a brief presentation. Councilmember Oddie inquired whether the extension of time yields a lump sum due by day 395, not thirteen equal payments of deferred rent. The Community Development Director responded in the affirmative; stated deferred rent payments can be paid when possible; non-payment cannot result in eviction during the time period; an unlawful detainer may be served should current rent not be paid by the end of the time period; the ordinance serves as a defense should an unlawful detainer be served to a tenant. In response to Councilmember Oddie's inquiry, the Community Development Director stated tenants have thirteen months to pay the total amount due over the period of time. Councilmember Vella noted that she has received correspondence which states the City ordinance is not necessarily in line with the County ordinance; inquired which ordinance applies in the event one is more stringent and offers more protections than the other. The Community Development Director responded the proposed changes to the City ordinance being presented are closer in consistency with the County; stated the City has an additional 30 days over the County.
