Not introduced. Special Counsel gave a brief presentation. Councilmember Daysog stated correspondence received indicates the $25,000 threshold is too high; requested clarification from staff on the average improvement costs. Special Counsel stated staff took comments into consideration; staff discussed decreasing the limit and concluded the $25,000 threshold is reasonable; the improvements listed in the ordinance are significant and substantial; if a landlord engages in only one of the listed improvements, the $25,000 threshold will likely be reached; landlords tend to make several improvements in order to reach the $25,000 threshold; Council could reduce the amount if desired; if staff runs into problems after adoption, the matter could return for additional consideration. Councilmember Herrera Spencer inquired how many landlords have taken advantage of the CIP program since the start. Special Counsel responded not many; stated staff is bringing the proposed revision to the Regular Meeting Alameda City Council 4 May 4, 2021 | CityCouncil/2021-05-04.pdf |
