A
A
Okay,
so
welcome
to
the
december
meeting
of
the
planning
and
economic
development
committee.
I
think
we'll
go
ahead
and
just
jump
right
in.
We
do
have
some
some
speakers
tonight
for
public
comment.
Are
there
any
changes
to
the
agenda?
It's
a
pretty
simple
agenda
tonight.
So
I
I
don't
know
if
there
are
any
changes,
we
do
have
an
announcement
that
laura
requested.
A
C
A
And
if
you
could
just
state
your
your
name
and
your
address
for
the
record,
that
would
be
helpful.
So
with
that
we'll
go
to
our
first.
B
Okay,
so
our
first
speaker
will
be
theresa,
alt.
D
Hello:
okay,
I'm
theresa
alt
of
206
eddie
street
in
college
town
right
to
renew
also
called
good
cause.
Eviction
is
up
for
discussion
again.
I
am
happy
to
see
a
red
text
that
at
last
moves
the
house
hunting
season
in
much
of
ithaca's
housing
up
from
september
october
to
april
a
much
more
sensible
time.
D
Maybe
the
city
needs
to
have
a
simple
ordinance
for
bidding
housing
contracts
made
more
than
four
months
in
advance
of
the
start
of
the
lease.
Can
that
be
made
to
apply
to
universities
too,
maybe
with
a
carve
out
for
people
who
will
be
away
for
a
year
to
allow
them
to
make
arrangements
in
advance
of
leaving?
D
Still,
I
think
the
the
ordinance
as
it
is
now
amended
will
help.
D
I
looked
eagerly
to
see
what
patrick
baylor
had
contributed,
but
his
version
only
seems
to
make
things
worse.
It
does
nothing
about
the
too
early
start
of
hunting
season
and
it
prolongs
the
period
of
decision
from
a
reasonable
four
months
to
an
unreasonable
six
months.
That
cannot
be
good
for
either
renters
or
landlords.
D
D
B
B
Okay,
all
right,
the
next
speak.
The
next
speaker
is
barbara.
E
Anger
oops
good
evening,
thank
you
for
giving
me
the
opportunity
to
speak,
I'm
addressing
the
good
cause
to
evict
proposed
bill.
I
find
it
has
problems
for
both
the
tenants
and
the
landlords,
and
particularly
the
small
landlords,
forgive
the
the
titles
of
tenant
and
landlord.
Maybe
I
should
say
lesser
and
leasi,
I
own
one
house
in
ithaca
that
has
seven
units
five,
which
are
zoned
for
only
one
person
and
two
zone
for
two
inhabitants.
E
E
E
Eviction
is
costly
if
that
the
eviction
had
to
do
with
the
tenant
not
paying
rent,
and
I
had
to
go
to
eviction
court
to
have
them
leave
over
the
time
before
court
date
and
during
the
process,
I
would
be
losing
more
rent
and
be
unable
to
rent
it
to
rent
it
to
another
tenant.
In
the
meantime
that
might
affect
my
ability
to
pay
mortgage
and
taxes.
E
E
Oh
okay,
I'll
try
to
reach
talk
faster.
I
I
wonder
how
the
courts
will
deal
with
the
extra
eviction.
Has
anyone
studied
if
there's
a
backlog
if
it
has
a
very
specific
rental
season?
If
an
eviction
occurs,
it
would
surely
happen
outside
the
specific
season
now
renters
and
renters
wishing
to
change
or
new
renters
wishing
to
change
the
living's.
What
situation
will
find
there
is
limited
rental
opportunities
within
the
normal
rental
season?
If
the
tenants
actually
evicted,
they
might
also
find
limited
rental
possibilities.
E
If
an
eviction
happens
outside
the
rental
season,
small
leasers
may
find
it
harder
to
rent
their
apartment
this
time
with
an
empty
apartment
and
less
rent,
it
would
make
it
harder
for
the
owner
to
pay
taxes
mortgage
and
make
repairs.
I
know
each
of
my
tenants
and
I
care
that
they
have
a
good
place
to
live.
I
am
not
just
the
owner
of
the
property,
I
do
all
the
rental,
the
cleaning
painting
I
do
not
wish
to
be
adversarial.
E
I
would
think
that
you
could
at
least
consider
the
albany
bill
which
has
passed
but
not
gone
into
effect
and
see
how
it
works.
I've.
Many
more
things
I
could
tell
you
about,
but
I
I
appreciate
you
listen
listening
to
me
and
think
about
smaller
owners
who
have
20
or
10
units
we're
not
one
size
fits
all.
Thank
you.
Thanks
for
watching.
B
Next
is
sonya
sandstrom.
F
Hello,
can
you
hear
me
okay
great,
so
I
am
obviously
I
believe
that
my
position
is
known
by
those
that
are
here
that
I
oppose
the
proposal
to
add
rent
control
and
that
I
am
not
in
favor
of
taking
away
non-renewal
as
a
means
of
changing
tendencies,
but
I
know
that
they're
going
to
be
voting
this
evening
about
the
180
days
and
they're
talking
about
changing
it
from
60..
F
We
currently
have
a
well
I'm
a
landlord
in
new
jersey.
I
now
live
here
in
the
city
of
ithaca
when
we
do
our
leases,
we
do
at
90
days
our
lease
and
our
lease
actually
clearly
spells
this
out.
It
says
at
90
days
we
will
let
you
know
how
much
your
new
rent
will
be,
and
you
would
know
at
90
days
whether
or
not
we're
going
to
renew
or
non-renew.
F
F
This
is
what
your
rent
was
before.
Taxes
have
gone
up,
inflation
has
gone
up,
this
will
be
your
new
rent
and
we
give
them
the
information
at
about
90
days.
We
ask
do
they
know
if
they're
going
to
be
leaving
or
if
they're
not
going
to
be
leaving.
It
is
a
discussion
that
we
have
between
our
tenants
at
60
days.
We
give
them
a
copy
of
a
lease
and
that
lease
says
all
the
things
that
we've
discussed
with
them.
F
It
says
they're
very
clear
what
the
new
rent
will
be
and
it
lays
it
all
out
and
they
have
the
opportunity
for
them
until
30
days,
because
in
new
jersey,
it's
it's
a
different.
Ours
is
30
days
in
new
jersey
and
at
30
days
they
have
to
either
sign
a
new
lease
or
we
start
showing
the
apartment
we
have
found
in
the
past
that
when
there's
an
extended
period
of
time,
it's
extremely
difficult
for
our
tenants
to
be
able
to
know
what's
happening
in
their
life.
F
I
mean
I
remember
when
I
was
a
student
renter.
Thank
you
asked
me
what
I'm
doing
in
six
months
and
I
would
have.
I
would
have
had
no
clue
I
wouldn't
have
known.
I
was
in
the
if
I
was
into
my
doctoral
program.
My
graduate
program
so
trying
to
make
some
of
those
decisions
and
pushing
them
to
180
days
may
actually
prove
to
be
a
burden
to
both
the
tenant
and
the
landlords,
and
I
think
that
that's
something
that
should
be
considered.
F
So
I
know
there's
a
lot
to
discuss
on
this.
I
know
the
protection,
the
desires
to
protect
tenants,
but
hopefully
it'll
be
considered.
That
180
days
is
a
long
time
at
that
time.
Point
in
your
life
to
make
decisions.
G
Hi,
first
of
all,
I'm
not
the
human
services
coalition,
I'm
on
my
wife's
computer
and
I
apologize.
I
I
said
she
could
change
my
name
all
right.
Anyways.
I
sent
you
folks
a
memo
that
I
put
together
today.
It's
dated
december
8th
of
2021
and
it's
three
pages,
and
it
suggests
some
very
specific
proposed
changes
to
this
ordinance.
But
let
me
explain
where
I'm
coming
from:
first
of
all,
I'm
ray
schlatter
and
I've
been
a
resident
of
the
city
for
almost
50
years.
I
was
on
common
council
back
in
the
80s.
G
I
know
every
one
of
you,
except
for
mr
mailer
and
nice
to
meet
you,
sir.
I'm
here
simply
to
emphasize
what
I
would
consider
to
be
two
points
and
I
could
go
on.
You
know,
go
all
the
way
back
to
the
12th
century
and
talk
about
the
law
of
contracts
and
the
sanctity
of
our
judicial
system
as
it's
built
upon
the
law
of
contract.
I'm
not
going
to
do
that.
I'm
not
going
to
poke
at
you
with
respect
to
the
180
days
or
the
60
days
or
any
of
those
that
any
of
those
factors.
G
What
I
want
to
address
what
I
think
would
make
sense
and
when
I
look
at
the
city-
and
I
look
at
what
we
were
doing
many
years
ago,
when
we
carved
out
college
town
as
a
high
density
place-
and
we
said
you
know
what
we
want-
our
college
students
to
live
in
college
town,
we're
going
to
pretty
much
encourage
developers
to
develop
college
town,
put
in
lots
of
housing,
put
the
students
in
college
town
because
that's
important
for
the
city,
it's
important
for
the
economic
health
of
the
city
and
and
and
so
we've
we've
encouraged
it.
G
And
it's
worked.
There's
been
a
healthy
balance
between
the
development
of
student
housing.
I
think
in
a
remarkably
effective
manner,
we
have
over
100
million
dollars
in
property
up
there
and
the
needs
of
the
of
the
tenants,
and
I
and
I
my
suggestion
here-
is
somehow
figure
out
a
distinction
between
the
longer
term
tenants
for
whom
I
think,
legislation
like
this
is
very
appropriate
and
what
I
would
call
for
lack
of
a
better
term,
the
student
housing,
because
the
student
housing
frankly,
is
it's
a
kettle
of
a
different
color.
G
G
Okay-
and
I
want
to
reserve
at
least
30
seconds
to
say
thank
you
to
seth,
but
so
so
my
point
simply
is:
we've
got
my
memo
addresses
two
points.
One
is
carve
out
the
exception
for
student
housing
and
the
other
is
add
back
in
the
language
that
came
from
albany,
which
talked
about
the
right
of
demolition
and
improvement
of
the
property.
That's
that's
what
makes
this
stuff
grow
and
I've
I've
put
that
in
my
memo.
Finally,
I
do
want
to
personally
thank
seth
murtaugh.
G
I
think
he's
done
an
incredible
job
as
a
representative
of
the
city,
as
all
of
you
are
doing,
and
I,
but
I
appreciate
what
you
have
done
seth.
I
know
it's
tough
and
I
appreciate
the
fact
that
you
put
in
all
the
long
hours
and
all
the
brains
and,
frankly,
you've
got
thick
skin,
and
I
appreciate
all
that.
So
thank
you
very
much.
B
All
right,
our
last
speaker
is
mary
shelley,
and
I
just
want
to
remind
the
speakers
that,
after
the
last
speaker,
I'll
just
be
removing
you
all
from
the
zoom
meeting
and
you
can
continue
to
watch
on
youtube.
H
Hi,
I
don't
feel
totally
prepared
since
I
worked
all
day
and
just
spent
about
15
minutes
before
this
meeting,
trying
to
put
my
thoughts
down.
So
basically
I
may
be
repeating
things
but
basically
being
a
small
landlord.
I
do
want
the
option
to
not
renew,
and
I
don't
really
I
haven't
had
to
evict.
I've
said
all
these
things
before
lord
and
I
don't
want
to
be
a
victim
because
it's
very
adversarial,
I
don't
have
a
a
manager.
H
It's
me
who's
doing
everything
and
the
expense
would
drive
me
out
as
a
small
landlord,
and
I
don't
have
a
lawyer
on
staff
the
way
a
lot
of
corporate
landlords
might
so
I
feel
like
I'm
I'm
really.
This
is
kind
of
like
a
shotgun
approach.
H
You
know
that
would
affect
everybody
and
it
doesn't
really
need
to
apply
to
small
landlords
and
I'd
like
kind
of
a
definition
of
small
landlords
that
might
kind
of
carve
out
a
different
option,
and
it
seems
like
a
lot
of
this
is
geared
towards
corporate
landlords
who
want
to
might
want
to
empty
out
whole
buildings
and
gentrification
type
issues,
and
that's
not
at
all
what
I'm
doing.
I'm
just
trying
to
remove
a
problem,
somebody's,
a
problem
for
other
people
in
the
house.
H
H
It
was
so
much
easier
to
just
say
it's
not
working
out,
and
I
you
know
I
right
now.
I
do
tell
people
if
it's
a
problem,
I
I
do
kind
of
keep
on
their
case
and
and
tell
them
I'm
not
going
to
tell
them
20
times
it's
a
problem,
I'm
going
to.
Let
them
know,
but
I
don't
feel
like
it's
fair,
not
to
tell
people
what
they're
doing
wrong,
because
I
do
want
to
keep
people.
H
The
final
thing
is
you
know
again
why
rush
albany,
I
I
oh,
the
albany
law
is
not
even
in
effect,
yet
it
takes
90
days.
I
can't
remember
the
exact
procedure,
but
it
hasn't
gone
into
effect
yet
and
there
there
is
just
it
just
seems
like
why
rush?
Why
not
write
a
better
law?
If
there
is
going
to
be
a
law,
and
so
that's
basically
what
I
haven't
said
thanks
for
listening,
okay,
take
care.
A
Okay,
any
response
from
the
committee
laura.
I
Thank
you
and
thank
you
again
to
those
of
you
who
spoke
this
evening
and
mary.
I
believe
we
received
an
email
from
you,
so
that
will
be
read
carefully
and
ray.
I
apologize.
I
haven't
had
a
chance
to
read
your
email
yet
today,
but
certainly
will
pay
close
attention
to
your
comments.
I
did
just
want
to
comment
that
this
is
a
discussion
of
good
cause
that
we
have
been
having
for
a
number
of
months,
so
we
are
by
no
means
rushing
into
something.
I
So
I
just
wanted
to
thank
our
speakers
tonight
once
we
get
into
announcements,
I
I
would
like
to
make
one
announcement,
but
let
me
also
add
this
is
tagging
on
to
rey's
last
comment,
my
own
thanks
to
seth
for
sharing
pedc,
with
just
wonderful
skill,
patience,
thoughtfulness
and
thoroughness
throughout
the
four
years
that
I
have
been
on
common
council
and
your
chairing
of
this
committee,
I
think,
is
just
tremendous
and
and
will
be
greatly
missed.
I
I'd
also
like
to
thank
donna
fleming
colleague
on
common
council
and
colleague
on
pedc
for
her
thoughtfulness
and
thoroughness
as
we
deliberate
some
very
challenging
topics
again,
at
least
in
the
time
I
have
served
on
council,
both
seth
and
donna
have
been
personal
mentors
to
me.
Cynthia
has
helped
me
in
understanding
issues
as
well.
Certainly
was
the
case
when
I
served
on
the
sjc,
where
I
had
a
very
steep
learning
curve,
but
I
just
wanted
to
add
my
appreciation
to
seth
and
to
donna,
as
they
retire
from
council
and
from
pedc.
K
Yeah,
I
think
I
I
saw
on
the
agenda
a
thank
you
to
stefan
don
at
the
end,
so
I'm
gonna
reserve
my
stuff
until
then,
but
I
just
really
quickly
wanted
to
make
a
comment
on
theresa
who
had
said
that
the
university
forces
students
to
give
up
their
housing
decisions
in
october.
Just
that's
not
true.
We
had
as
university
students
that
entire
process
happens
in
march,
then
yeah.
That
was
the
only
response.
I'm
going
to
save
my
my
appraiser
don
and
seth
for
our
last
chunk.
C
I
will
also
save
my
accolades
to
the
end
of
the
meeting.
I
I
did
want
to
thank
people.
You
know
everyone
who
has
commented
over
the
last
many
months.
We
have
received
a
tremendous
amount
of
emails,
correspondence,
memos
phone
calls
and
then,
of
course,
speakers
who
have
come
to
speak.
So
I
really
want
to
again
express
my
gratitude
to
everybody
who
has
provided
their
input
on
this.
I
did
want
to
say
very
clearly,
and
we
will
be
going
into
this
in
more
detail
in
the
agenda.
C
The
good
cause
legislation
is
not
rent
control.
Rent
control
is
the
intentional
setting
of
a
level
of
rent
that
is
below
market
value.
This
instead,
is
something
called
rent
stabilization,
which
rather
proposes
a
structure
at
which
the
rate
of
rent
can
be
increased
during
a
tenants
lease.
So
there
is
a
distinction
between
rent
control
and
rent
stabilization
and
good
cause
implements
rent
stabilization.
C
A
So
with
that,
I
think
we
can
move
on
to
announcements.
Did
you
have
an
announcement
laura.
I
Yes,
I
did
want
to
mention
once
again
the
ithaca
guaranteed
income
program
that
is
very
exciting
news
for
residents
in
the
city
of
ithaca.
The
application
period
opens
this
friday
december
10th
at
9
00
a.m
and
will
run
through
friday
december
17th.
I
I
The
criteria
include
that
a
participant
must
be
a
caregiver
caregiver
of
a
child
children
caregiver
to
an
elderly
person
caregiver
to
an
adult
with
a
disability
and
must
have
a
household
income
that
is
80
percent
or
less
of
area
median
income.
There
are
far
more
details
on
the
website,
as
well
as
assistance
for
anyone
who
may
want
assistance
in
filling
out
the
application.
The
application,
I
believe,
will
take
about
45
minutes
to
complete.
I
So
if
people
have
questions
about
that,
they
can
turn
to
hsc
and
there
was
a
press
conference,
a
press
release
the
mayor
gave
earlier
today,
so
that
will
be
available
on
news
media
as
well
as
I
believe,
on
the
city
website.
But
ithaca
guaranteed
income
is
a
very
exciting
project.
A
Thanks
laura
that
is
really
great
to
hear
that
that's
moving
forward
and
we'll
be
sure
to
spread
the
news
to
our
various
networks.
Okay,
so
next
up
we
have
two
agenda
items
tonight.
A
One
is
the
good
cause
legislation
that
we
have
been
discussing
over
the
last
several
months
few
months
and
the
other
is
a
is
a
proposal
from
patrick
that'll,
extend
the
the
waiting
period
for
rental
housing
from
60
days
up
to
180
days.
You
know
I
did
just
want
to
say,
because
we
had
talked
about
this
at
last
month's
meeting.
We
talked
about
having
a
community
of
the
whole,
possibly
performing
a
working
group.
A
You
know
I
thought
it
was.
It
would
be
a
good
idea
to
just
include
this
as
a
discussion
tonight.
I
think
I
did
some
reflection
after
the
last
meeting,
and
it
does
seem
that
you
know
juggling
the
multiple
versions
of
this.
I
realized
that
it
had
been
confusing
for
a
lot
of
people,
not
just
tenants
who
have
been
following
this,
but
also
landlords
who
have
been
following
this.
A
You
know,
I
think
that
at
the
very
least
trying
to
get
some
clarification
tonight
about
which
version
of
this
we're
looking
at
and
also
just
recognizing
that
for
for
two
of
us
here
this
is
going
to
be
our
last
meeting
and
you
know
I
felt
a
little
uncomfortable
sending
something
so
big
and
frankly
controversial
on
to
a
council
where
you
know
some
of
us
aren't
going
to
be
there.
So
I
thought
it
would
be
a
good
idea
just
to
include
this
as
a
discussion
tonight.
A
You
know
we
can
talk
a
bit
just
about
the
version.
What
I
did
is
I
took
the
conversation
from
last
month
tried
to
update
it
as
best
as
I
could
from
what
I
remember.
A
You
know
the
emotions
that
we
had
passed,
and
so,
if
we
want
to
discuss,
maybe
start
with
good
cause
and
then
we
can
move
on
to
discussing
patrick's
ordinance-
and
I
know
patrick
you-
you
had
suggested
the
possibility
that
we
could
circulate
this
tonight,
I
mean
if
they,
if
the
committee
feels
comfortable
circulating,
taking
a
vote
to
circulate
patrick's
proposal
on.
You
know
that
I
think
we
should
do
that.
But
for
now
I
just
I
listed
as
discussion
on
the
agenda
so
starting
with
good
cause.
A
You
know
so
we
did.
We
did
adopt
some
some
language
last
month.
That
makes
the
makes
it
clear
that
we
were
talking
about
120
days
from
the
end
of
the
lease
I
updated
that
I'm
not
sure.
If
there's
any
other
comments-
and
I
mean
we
have
talked
about
it-
a
lot-
and
it
does
seem
at
this
point
like
it's
going
to
be
passed
to
the
next
council.
I
don't
know
if
there
are
any
further
comments
on
this
or
if
anybody
had
any
questions.
A
C
Included
last
month,
you
know
I
I
continue
to
interpret
this
language
very
differently
than
what
has
been
proposed.
I
do
think
that
it
is
highly
restrictive
with
regards
to
the
amount
of
time
that
would
be
available
to
negotiate
the
rent,
and
I
strongly
urge
keeping
the
original
language
of
the
september
draft
versus
the
language
that
is
in
red
in
this.
A
C
Right
and
the
way
that
you
had
presented
it
was
that
the
landlord
and
tenant
could
negotiate
the
renewal
of
the
lease
at
any
time
during
the
lease
term.
C
C
But
according
to
this,
the
tenant
wouldn't
even
be
able
to
see
the
renewed
lease
until
120
days
before
the
lease
term
and
then
presumably
have
another
period
of
time
to
negotiate
that
lease
and
then
may
still
ultimately
reject
it,
which
would
then
leave
the
landlord
with
very
little
time
towards
the
end
of
the
lease
to
actually
start
advertising
and
showing
the
unit
which
I
think,
when
you
consider
for
some
of
the
population
which
are
gone
during
the
summer.
C
It
means
that
there's
a
limited
time
for
them
to
see
the
unit
before
they
actually
leave
for
summer
break.
So
that's
why
I
think
that
this
language
is
is
too
restrictive
and
really
pushes
everything
up
to
the
the
end
of
the
lease.
A
Well,
that
wasn't
my
intent.
I
mean
the
intent
was
to
basically
allow
landlords
and
tenants
to
sign
leases
and
show
apartments
throughout
the
year,
because
that's
something
that
I
had
heard
from
honestly
from
both
tenants
and
landlords.
That
was
important.
So
maybe
there's
some
clarification
or
the
language
just
needs
to
be
cleaned
up
or
something
to
to
make
that
clear.
A
But
I
think
the
the
idea
is
that
it
would
be
120
days
from
the
end
of
the
lease
at
that
point,
if
you
had
a
tenant
who,
for
whatever
reason,
was
refusing
to
give
an
answer,
you
know
about
whether
they
wanted
to
renew
the
lease
or
whether
they're
moving
out.
There
was
some
mechanism
in
there
that
allowed
the
landlord
to
rent
the
apartment
to
a
third
party
or
move
forward
with
an
eviction
so
again
like.
If
that's
not
clear,
maybe
it
just
needs
to
be
clarified.
C
Yeah
and
I
I
think
going
back
either
to
the
the
removed
portion
or-
dare
I
say
the
october
version
gives
more
clarification.
I
think,
to
what
you
were
trying
to
achieve,
which
I
support
absolutely.
C
J
Knows
presenting
at
least
no
sooner
than
120
days
before
the
end
of
the
lease
doesn't
allow
much
time
for
either
party,
but
the
the
old
version
was
unclear
too.
The
old
version
said
something
about
notice:
the
landlord's
attention
to
pursue
it,
pursue
eviction
within
120
days,
but
it
doesn't
say
120
days
of
what
so
yeah.
I
think
you're
right
sef
that
somebody
needs
to
just
think
about
what
the
intention
is.
C
Well
that
that
clause-
donna,
I
I
is
actually
part
of
subsection,
a
which
says
it's
120
days
of
the
notice.
You
know
that
you're
providing
the
lease
and
then
two
weeks
apart
and
then
in
that
lease
it,
the
written
offer,
must
include
a
notice
that
they
will
pursue
eviction
if
the
tenant
rejects
the
proposed
written
lease.
C
C
This
legislation,
although
adopted
by
the
city
of
albany,
is
I
guess,
under
a
challenge
in
the
legal
system
in
albany,
the
new
york
state,
attorney's
office
or
attorney
general's
office
has
indicated
that
they
intend
to
issue
an
opinion
on
the
city
of
albany,
good
cause
legislation
and
at
root
of
that
opinion.
C
As
I
understand
it
is
to
address
the
question,
if
local
municipalities
have
the
authority
to
pass
such
legislation
pertaining
to
evictions
and
contract
law,
I
think
it
makes
sense
at
this
time
to
wait
for
that
opinion
and
then,
if
it
is
determined
that
the
power
is
vested
within
the
state,
then
we
as
legislators,
those
of
us
who
do
support
good
cause.
C
I
think
that
would
be
an
opportune
time
for
the
city
of
ithaca
to
engage
in
a
vacancy
study
to
be
able
to
to
determine
the
level
of
need
we
have
with
regards
to
vacancies
with
regards
to
the
rate
of
rent
increases
that
people
are
experiencing,
and
that
would
provide
the
foundation
to
indicate
to
our
landlords
and
to
the
community
that
the
purpose
of
enacting
good
cause
would
enable
the
city
to
achieve
a
larger
societal
goal,
which
is
the
opportunity
to
expand
rent
stabilization
to
all
renters
in
the
city
of
ithaca
and
to
reduce
the
housing
instability
that
I
think
we
all
anecdotally,
feel
and
many
reports
have
have
indicated.
C
If
we
do
the
vacancy
study,
it
gives
a
larger
opportunity
for
an
exchange
with
landlords
and
tenants
to
perhaps
do
working
groups
or
or
other
opportunities
to
explore.
The
impacts
of
this
legislation
in
a
more
thoughtful
conversational
manner.
Council,
chambers
or
or
zoom
meetings
is
not
a
great
way
to
have
an
exchange
of
ideas
or
throw
ideas
back
and
forth,
explore
different
complexities
of
the
language
and
so
on.
So
we
would
have
the
time
to
address
it.
Then.
C
To
actually
my
other
point
actually
attaches
to
patrick's
items
so,
but
anyway,
that
that
is
my
thought
in
terms
of
what
I
would
like
to
see
happen
with
this
legislation
in
the
future
and
again
waiting
anxiously
to
hear
from
new
york
state
and
the
attorney
general's
office.
The
determination
of
our
jurisdiction
to
enact
good
cause.
A
Maybe
that
yeah-
that's
probably
right,
that's
the
opinion,
we're
waiting
for
all
right,
so
so
patrick's
proposal-
I
don't
know
patrick
if
you
want
to
say
a
little
bit
about
this,
or
maybe
that
makes
sense
to
kind
of
give
you
the
floor
to
start
this.
Kick
this
off.
K
Yeah
love
to
so
I
I
so
stuff
and
I
sort
of
spoke
about
it,
and
I
you
know
at
the
moment
it's
not
up
for
voting.
I
think
it's
up
for
discussion.
I
do
want
to
hear
people's
sort
of
thoughts
on
it,
but,
in
short,
you
know
the
what
the
bill
basically
says
is.
It
gets
rid
of
the
waiver
that
currently
says
that
landlords
and
tenants
can
waive
their
day
minimums
and
it
also
increases
the
dimensions
from
60
to
180..
So
there's
a
couple
of
things
how
I
got
to
that
number?
K
Why
this
number
I
want
to
talk
about
and
then
just
a
couple
of
other
things.
So
the
first
thought
of
it
is
you
know
when
I
was
going
through
the
good
cause
stuff
a
month
or
two
ago
and
sort
of
looking
through
everything.
It
was
120
days
from
the
back
of
the
lease
so
120
days
from
the
back
at
least
puts
you
at
2
40,
more
or
less
from
start
of
the
lease-
and
I
remember
especially
to
speak
with
ari
about
it
too
sort
of
the
concerns
of
contract,
infringement
and
things
like
that.
K
Starting
now
with
my
brother's
class,
like
the
current
freshman
is
now
going
to
have
another
4
000
students
are
going
to
be
in
on
campus
housing.
If
you
keep
doing
the
math
and
you
sort
of
spin
it
all
around.
The
university
gets
about.
105
million
dollars
worth
of
rent
it's
now,
it's
not
actually
rent.
It
is
a
housing
contract
and
there's
all
the
sort
of
sort
of
legalese
behind
the
university
which
I
learned
this
morning.
But
even
though
it's
not
technically
rent,
it
is
still
money
that
would
pay
for
housing.
K
So
the
point
sort
of
all
of
this
here
is
that
we're
about
to
lose
another
2
000
students
with
this
mandate
for
sophomores
and
the
it's
starting,
a
trend
of
less
housing,
the
students
going
to
housing,
college
town
and
surrounding
areas.
K
You
also
have
an
unlimited
meal
plan,
and
so
not
only
are
you
losing
the
housing
but
you're
losing
sort
of
the
restaurants
and
food
too,
not
as
much
of
a
joke,
but
I
remember
when
I
I
was
speaking
to
my
brother
about
this
like
when
I
was
a
freshman.
Jax
was
two
doors
wide
and
as
less
and
less
people
are
living
there,
restaurants
are
either
closing
like
the
entire
side
of
eddie's
street.
Has
I'm
not
sorry
in
the
street
off
of
on
dryden
or
even
down
college?
K
Have
restaurants
are
closing
there
too,
so
the
180?
How
I
sort
of
look
at
it
is
the
most.
I
think
that
could
be
done
without
too
much
hurting
the
landlord's
ability
to
rent
out
to
students.
Now
I
went
in
good
faith
to
a
bunch
of
the
landlords
in
college
town
and
spoke
with
them
about.
What
do
you
think
is
a
reasonable
number?
K
What
do
you
think
would
make
it
adjustable,
and
every
single
lesson
I
got
back
was
everything
is
unreasonable
in
60
days
is
really
only
the
max
that
could
happen
and
the
thing
that
was
most
frustrating
about
that
was
this
morning.
We
got
sent
a
ton
of
petitions
and
changed
at
org,
things
of
saying
students
are
and
the
renters
are
actually
against
this
bill
and
what
I
found
amusing
to
say
the
least
was
I
went
through
it,
and
there
was,
I
believe,
13
pdfs
attached.
K
At
least
six
of
them
have
signed
by
people
who
aren't
students
and
don't
live
in
the
city
of
ithaca.
K
There
was
one
where
actually
they
had
changed
the
petition
that
the
landlord
asked
them
to
say
that
says
they
are
in
support
of
the
bill,
and
the
thing
that
just
keeps
coming
back
to
me
is
every
single
constituent.
I've
spoken
to
the
hundreds,
quite
literally
hundreds
of
renters,
I've
spoken
to
think
180.
Isn't
enough,
and
the
reason
why
I
picked
180
is,
I
think,
that
shifts
the
market.
K
If
you
have
a
june
lease
it
shifts
it
to
december,
if
you're
in
august
it
shifts
into
february
it
changes
the
current
system
of
every
single
person
trying
to
get
housing
in
september
and
august,
and
many
folks,
even
june,
before
they're
here
pushing
it
into
february.
I
honestly
want
to
read
that
petition
that
the
that
one
person
had
changed,
because
I
think
it
articulates
even
everything
I
was
trying
to
say
in
just
three
quick
sentences.
K
You
know
we
support
any
law
that
prevents
landlords
from
forcing
us
to
renew
our
lease
or
sign
it
to
new
tenants
in
the
fall
before
we
even
get
the
chance
to
live
in
the
building
for
ensuring
the
apartment
is
a
safe
place
to
live
both
temperature,
wise
and
area
wise.
We
are
required
to
actually
live
in
the
apartment
for
more
than
a
few
weeks
or
months.
K
It
is
unfair
to
make
us
decide
in
the
fall
if
he
wants
to
live
in
the
same
apartment
after
mere
weeks,
so
that
language
had
been
changed
because
we're
supposed
to
say
they
were
against
this.
But
even
you
know
the
last
thing
I'll
say
before
I
sort
of
turn
off
some
christopher
other
folks
have
to
say
was
there
was
somebody
in
public
comment
today
who
said
you
know
when
I
was
a
college
student,
I'm
sure
I
could
make
a
decision
six
months
ahead
of
time.
B
K
It
gives
renters
and
it
gives
people
who
especially
live
in
college
town
and
people
who
live
in
the
whole
section
there
and
I
went
through
as
well,
I
believe
in
legislation.
I
I
found
the
similar
rentings
in
the
second
third
and
fifth
wards.
It
gives
people
the
chance
to
actually
live
in
the
home
and
to
live
and
where
they're
renting
and
see
whether
or
not
the
landlord's
responsive.
K
A
Thanks,
patrick
I'm
not
sure
if
cynthia
was
first
or
donna
was
first
donna
we'll
go
donna
cynthia.
J
Okay,
so
I
agree
with
this
in
theory.
I
think
that-
and
we
tried
to
fix
this
years
ago,
but
we
allowed
tenants
and
landlords
to
waive
this
clause,
which
has
made
things
crazy.
So
I
think
that
we
should
make
it
stricter,
such
that
landlords
can't
be
pressuring
tenants
to
renew
when
they're
only
a
month
or
two
into
their
lease.
I
agree
with
that.
I
don't
agree.
J
I
don't
think
all
these
whereases
are
the
least
bit
relevant
to
that
argument,
though,
and
it
makes
it
sound
like
this
is
a
bad
thing
that
cornell
has
built
on
campus
housing.
When
I
think
it's
a
wonderful
thing,
I've
been
for
years,
I
would
make
comments
about
how
cornell
needed
to
build
more
on
campus
housing
and
they
finally
did
it.
So
I
am
not
going
to
complain,
I'm
not
going
to
criticize
I'm
grateful
for
the
increase
in
on-campus
housing
at
cornell.
J
I
think
there's
still
a
need
for
housing
and
apparently
developers
think
so
too,
because
they're
still
eager
to
build
it,
so
it
might
be
for
graduate
students.
It
might
be
for
people
who
work
at
cornell
or
could
be
people
not
related
to
cornell
at
all,
who
are
going
to
live
in
this
housing
we're
still
going
to
have
housing.
J
My
my
dream
has
been
that
some
of
the
houses
that
had
been
converted
to
mostly
student
rentals
would
reconvert
to
either
owner
occupied
homes
or
rentals
for
professionals,
but
I
don't
think
that's
really
going
to
happen.
So
in
any
case,
I,
even
though
I
support
the
the
intention
of
this
resolution.
I
think
that
these
the
the,
whereas
are
not
only
irrelevant,
but
they
also
leave
the
impression
that
this
is
bad
rather
than
good.
A
Thanks
donna
cynthia.
C
C
Donna-
and
I
have
had
extensive
conversations
about
what
we
think
is
going
to
happen
when
north
campus
comes
in.
The
fact
to
me
is
that
these
units
are
going
to
rent
so
we're
not
actually
losing
income
to
the
city,
because
they
will
still
be
rented.
If
anything,
they
will
be
rented
to
probably
graduate
students,
but
they
will
also
be
rented
probably
to
to
non-students
too
if
it
becomes
more
financially
acceptable.
Hopefully,
the
idea
is:
is
that
with
more
units,
the
rent
per
unit
will
go
down
and
make
it
more
affordable.
C
I
don't
think
that's
gonna
happen,
but
but
I
do
think
that
the
the
point
I'm
trying
to
make
is
is
that
we're
not
losing.
C
The
aspect
of
having
more
graduate
school
students
or
older
students
or
non-students
living
in
college
town-
and
I
guess
this
is
my
comment
to
ray
schlatter-
is-
I
do
believe
that
non-students
and
older
students
are
interested
in
living
in
college
town.
I
think
that
they
are
interested
in
renewing
and
staying
from
year
to
year.
They
aren't
necessarily
going
to
be
moving
out
of
their
unit
at
the
end
of
the
the
semester
or
the
the
school
year.
C
One
thing
we've
definitely
found
during
the
time
of
covet
is
even
though
the
schools
and
the
universities
shut
down,
something
like
85
percent
of
the
students
stayed,
they
didn't
go
home,
they
stayed
here
year
round
and
then
they
renewed
their
leases
and
stayed
some
more.
So
I
think
that
assumption
that
that
students
just
stay
here
for
the
school
year
and
and
leave
and
don't
want
to
renew,
is
a
faulty
assumption.
C
C
Not
this
is
legislation,
that's
going
to
be
catered
to
undergraduate
students
between
the
ages
of
17
and
21.
and
whatever
assumption
we
think
that
their
behaviors
are
going
to
follow.
Because
of
that.
So
I
I
support
this.
I
would
suggest
removing
all
except
the
last,
whereas
which
is
essentially,
why
we're
doing
this?
C
The
other
recommendation
I
would
have-
and-
and
I
don't
know
if
this-
if
we
are
open
to
making
changes
to
this
before
we
vote
to
circulate
patrick,
I
think
you
make
a
good
point
thinking
about
assumptions
around
180
days
and
so
on.
We
definitely
want
to
give
tenants
the
opportunity
to
live
in
a
unit
physically
move
in
live
in
that
space.
C
Is
it
comfortable
in
the
winter
time?
Do
they
like
their
neighbors?
Do
they
like
the
location,
you
know?
Do
they
like
the
responsiveness
of
the
landlord
before
they're
being
asked
to
renew,
and
so
I
definitely
see
where
a
longer
term
up
to
180
days
makes
a
lot
of
sense.
But
one
of
the
things
that
I
think
we
also
need
to
keep
in
mind
is
the
way
the
legislation
is
currently
written.
C
It
applies
to
any
rental
agreement,
nine
months
or
more
right.
So
if
you
have
a
nine
month
lease,
but
you
can't
renew
the
the
you
can't
show
the
property
for
the
first
six
months.
That
leaves
only
three
months
to
for
the
landlord
to
do
that,
so
we
need
to
adjust
and
make
sure
that
the
legislation
is
sensitive
to
the
fact
that
there
are
nine
month
leases
there
are
10
month
leases
and,
and
should
we
have
like
a
tiered
system,
you
know
for
leases
under
one
year.
C
C
One
of
the
suggestions
I
have
heard
from
landlords
is
perhaps
because
there
are
times
that
people
actually
their
lease
term
starts
before
they
actually
move
in.
They
may
have
started
the
lease
term
and
then
move
in
a
month
later.
C
Maybe
what
we
do
is
the
start
point
is
not
the
least
term,
but
the
start
point
is
when
the
keys
are
handed
over
and
that
can
be
yeah.
I
know
I
see
your
face,
you
know,
but
I
am
told
by
landlords
that
they
do
actually
meet
the
tenant.
They
let
they
walk
through
the
unit
with
the
tenant
they
hand
over
the
fee,
the
keys,
and
so
it
is
a
date
that
would
be
agreed
upon
by
the
the
tenant
and
the
landlord
okay.
Maybe
your
your
lease
started
in
june,
but
you
didn't
move
in
until
august.
C
C
I
do
also
want
to
be
sensitive
that
we
are
in
this
strange
location
that,
even
if
a
lan,
even
if
a
tenant
wants
to
renew
they,
they
may
go
away
for
christmas
and
they
may
go
away
for
the
summer,
and
so
the
opportunity
to
actually
show
a
unit
is
really
constrained
by
those
periods
where
a
significant
portion
of
our
population
is
out
of
town.
So
how
we
incorporate
those
things
and
be
mindful
of
that,
I
think,
might
be
useful
in
the
next
next
version
of
this.
A
All
right
we
do
have
some
hands
up,
so
I
don't
know
patrick
did
you
have?
Oh,
did
we
just
oh
yeah?
Are
you
there
patrick?
Did
you
have
a
response
to
that
or
can
can
we
jump
to
laura
first.
I
Thank
you
thanks
patrick
few
points,
I
agree
with
donna's
point
that
cornell
building
more
on
campus
housing.
I
have
always
viewed
as
a
good
thing,
a
positive
thing
for
all
kinds
of
reasons,
for
housing
related
reasons,
but
also
for
developmental
reasons
for
students,
young
people,
traditional
college-age
students,
starting
their
college
careers.
I
I
The
other
thing
I
wanted
to
mention
is
that,
with
more
housing
available
to
residents
in
college
town
as
a
result
of
an
increase
of
students
living
on
campus,
it
may
very
well
be
that
not
only
would
some
graduate
students
be
able
to
find
housing
close
to
campus,
but
also
some
young
professionals.
Even
some
families
may
find
it
attractive
to
live
in
the
college
town
area
as
a
result
of
greater
availability
of
of
housing.
So
I
just
wanted
to
add
those
those
few
comments
for
now.
A
Great
patrick,
did
you
have
a
comment.
K
Yeah
and
I
so
first
thank
you
everybody
for
giving
your
thoughts.
I
guess
the
the
first
thing
I
want
to
say
is.
I
appreciate
especially
the
comment,
whereas
is
because
that
was
the
biggest
thing
I
said.
I
have
no
idea
what
I'm
supposed
to
try
and
say
here
what
I
was
trying
to
say
and
cynthia.
I
am
100
completely
okay,
with
literally
just
having
that
last.
Whereas
because
that's
the
point
I
was
trying
to
make
in
trying
to
say
that
this
is
sort
of
the
outcome.
K
I
have
a
couple
of
things.
I
guess
the
first
one
was
sort
of
about
the
idea
of
other
families
and
groups
moving
in.
I
guess
I'm
less
hopeful
in
that
idea.
In
2014,
cornell
had
21
800
students
and
we
had
now
we
have
almost
26
000,
so
we've
had
4
000
new
students,
even
though
there's
only
2
000
more
dorms.
So
I
don't
see
that
I
am
also
incredibly
appreciative
of
being
able
to
live
on
campus
housing
that
option
existing,
but
I
don't
think
it's
something
that's
like
easing
it
from
zero
to
negative
five.
K
I
think
it's
something
that
is
easing
it
for
something
that
shot
up
to
20
and
bringing
it
back
to
10..
So
it's
I
would
just
give
the
warning
of
the
you
know.
I
guess
I'm
less
hopeful
that
you
have
a
bunch
of
new
folks
move
in
because
as
long
as
we
keep
taking,
you
know,
what's
an
average
of
500
new
students
a
year
and
we're
only
going
up
200
beds
a
year
in
this
time
it's
still
never
going
to
catch
up.
K
So
something
I'm
curious
is
to
hear
thoughts
on
if
people
thought
about
the
180
being
broken
up
in
those
three
different
sort
of
subjects.
So,
for
example,
something
that
it
could
look
like
is
you
know
you
have
to
wait
60
days
to
show
the
residential
unit
to
prospective
new
tenants,
and
you
need
to
wait
120
days
to
renew
the
current
rental
agreement.
K
You
need
a
decent
amount
of
time,
especially
to
get
to
winter,
like
especially
to
get
to
winter
and
say
yes,
this,
you
know
the
landlord's
responsive.
Yes,
they
do
this.
Yes,
they
do
that,
I'm
having
problems
met.
I
would
want
to
stay
again.
I
do
enjoy
this
place.
I
enjoy
what's
going
on,
so
I
am
curious.
I
like
to
hear
people's
thoughts
about
staggering
it
basically
of
having
you
know
you
can
show
it.
K
I
understand,
that's
the
biggest
language
you
want
to
show
it
okay,
so
you
can
show
it
and
then
you've
still
got
time
to
say
hey,
I
you
know
as
the
current
person.
I
want
more
time
to
look
at
it.
I
want
more
time
to
be
here
and
get
to
winter
and
see
what
I
say:
okay
and
then
you
give
it
that
last
stagger
for
you
can
now
give
it
to
other
people
right
and
at
that
point,
you've
already
shown
it
at
that
point.
J
I
liked
your
idea
of
staggering
it.
I
wonder
about
landlords
who
and
again
I'm
sorry,
I'm
going
back
to
the
student
market.
If
landlords
know
they
have
a
house
full
of
seniors
who,
who
they
know
aren't
renewing,
would
there
be
some
flexibility
in
that,
so
they
don't
have
to
wait.
J
K
Just
really
just
really
quickly,
I
guess
don,
I
guess
my
immediate
thought
is
that's
what
was
tried
in
2013
was
abused
like
the
having
the
sort
of
the
waiver
extension
say
what
about
the
cornell
seniors
and
the
ethical
college
seniors
who
know
they're
on
their
way
out
and
having
an
exception
for
them.
I
think
that's
why
we
have
the
problem
we
have
now
is
that
that
was
really
abused,
and
I
guess
I
I
don't
like
the
idea
of
a
waiver
for
that.
A
So
I
did
have
some
just
general
comments
from
a
question.
You
know
I
think
for
me.
I
wonder
because
I
mean
something
something
I've
heard
from
landlords
specifically
college
town
landlords
is
a
concern
about
shifting
I
mean
right
now.
A
You
have
basically
have
like
an
eight-month
rental
period,
but
for
a
lot
of
landlords
you
know,
70
of
their
tenants
might
be
signed
up
in
the
first
semester
for
the
following
year,
shifting
all
of
that
to
a
fairly
narrow
interval
in
the
spring
and
what
that
might
do
to
the
the
rental
market
in
college.
Town
and
honestly,
I
do
have
some
concerns
about
that.
A
I
mean
right
now,
there's
a
hyper
competitive
market
in
college
town,
but
it's
also
spread
over
eight
months
like
what
happens
if
you
just
contract
that
to
a
period
of
you,
know
a
couple
months
in
the
spring,
you
know
I
I
don't
necessarily
think
that
could
be
such
a
great
environment
for
tenants,
if,
like
college,
students
are
forced
to
basically
take
the
first,
the
first
house
that
their
their
first
apartment
that
they're
seeing
you
know,
I
think
you
could
have
a
lot
of
competition
with
like
leases
being
pulled
out
from
other
people.
A
I
don't
know,
I
don't
know
if
you've,
given
that
any
thought.
No,
so
that's
my
first
concern.
A
The
second
concern
I
have
is
like
what,
if
a
tenant
actually
wants
to
sign
a
lease
in
october,
you
know
one
of
the
things
I
like
about
good
cause
as
it's
currently
written
is
that
it
doesn't
actually
restrict
the
freedom
of
tenants
to
do
what
they
want.
I
mean
ultimately,
the
tenant
if
they
decide
that
they
want
to
to
sign
a
lease
with
their
landlord
in
october
for
the
following
year.
They
can
do
that.
I
mean,
if
anything,
what
what's
good
about
good
cause
is.
A
It
just
gives
the
security
to
the
tenants
that
they
know
that
they're
going
to
have
that
renewal,
so
it
just
gives
them
the
security
of
the
of
the
tenancy.
So
you
know,
if
I
imagine
that
there's
got
to
be
a
lot
of
you
know
both
incoming
students,
but
also
current
students.
I
mean
there's
a
lot,
there's
a
pretty
significant
portion
of
students
who
go
abroad,
the
second
semester-
I
don't
know
what
the
actual
number
is,
but
it's
got
to
be
a
lot.
A
You
know,
and
I
I
imagine
those
students
will
actually
want
to
sign
a
lease
in
the
first
semester.
So
you
know
I
I
hear
what
you're
saying
with
the
staggered
approach,
but
I
do
think
that
there
could
be.
You
know
that
I
think
there
could
be
some
concerns
about
that.
I
don't
know
if
that's
something
you've
given
any
thought
to
or
yeah.
K
Yeah
I
I
guess
I
have
very
explicitly,
and
you
know
I
think
the
first
thing
you
were
just
the
first
point
you
were
asking
about
moving
it
back.
Is
it
gonna
lead
to
being
a
hyper
competitive
market
in
january
and
february?
So
that's
what
it
is
for
renters
now
in
june
july,
august
and
september,
like
the
reason
I
live
in
on-campus
housing
now
is
because
I
had
three
different
leases
pulled
under
me
in
october,
because
I
was
too
late.
K
K
K
We
do
everything
at
the
moment
in
august
and
september
and
october,
and
then
you
try
to
you,
sell
off
properties
with
really
high
rates
in
november
december
until
through
so
that
when
the
second
thing
is
you're
saying
about
what
about
the
sort
of
the
the
study
abroad
argument,
it's
students
go
away
for
study
abroad
in
credit,
internships
and
co-ops
in
the
fall
too.
Like
that's
part
of
what
I
mean
on
friday
is
to
get
the
exact
number,
how
many
folks
go
away,
but
in
a
very
small
you
know
mic.
K
K
If
it
really
is,
like
you
have
a
group
of
friends,
not
everybody
goes
away
at
all
at
the
same
time
and
I
think
moving
it,
especially
if
you
sort
of
do
the
stagger
of
it
of
having
the
120
for
the
same
people,
then
you're
still
here
in
november
and
december,
and
you
can
still
figure
everything
out.
So
I
guess
those
are
my
my
sort
of
two
answers
to
those
two
things.
C
C
Going
back
to
your
original
question
about
staggering
it
or
separating
out
showing
the
unit
to
renewing,
I
guess
again,
you
know
thinking
about
tenants
in
general,
not
not
just
student
tenants
but
but
all
tenants.
C
There
there
is
a
huge
violation
of
privacy
when
you
are
granting
to
your
landlord
the
opportunity
to
show
the
unit
at
any
time
during
you
know
this
one
year
period
or
nine
year
lease
period
I
do
feel
like
just
in
terms
of
rights
and
and
ownership
over
your
space.
While
you
are
a
tenant
that
you
should
extend
that
out
as
long
as
possible,
especially
if
you
are
considering
staying
in
the
unit-
and
I
guess
I'm
I'm
reluctant
to
separate
that
out.
C
I
realized
with
the
student
population
the
desire
to
allow
to
show
the
the
unit
is
much
higher,
because
you
know
students
are
much
more
anxiously
looking
for
for
new
units
for
the
the
coming
year,
but
I'm
reluctant
to
separate
that
out.
Just
not
that
I
wouldn't
be
persuaded
to
do
so.
But
that's
kind
of
my
my
gut
feeling.
C
Time
period
of
negotiating
a
lease
renewal
to
the
tenant
within
whatever
that
period
is,
might
be
a
way
of
giving
students
or
or
tenants
the
opportunity
to
pace
themselves
out
and
thoughtfully.
Think
about
whether
or
not
they
want
to
renew
and
and
take
on
the
decision
of
not
renewing
and
having
to
find
a
different
place.
K
Yeah,
I
I
guess
I
I
hear
the
idea
of
the
45
day
period.
I
guess
in
my
mind
the
staggering
of
it
basically
creates
a
60-day
one
of
the
idea
of
you
staggering
it
from
you
can
only
renew
to
the
current
person
and
then
you,
if
you
by
another,
you
know
if
you
stagger
it
that
way.
You
then
have
what's
equivalent
to
this
day
negotiating
period
before
they
can
do
it
to
somebody
else.
A
So
I
I
put
this
down
as
discussion,
but
you
know
I
think
patrick
was
hoping
that
maybe
we
would
take
a
vote
to
circulate
it.
I
don't
know
how
people
feel
about
that.
It
sounds
like
there
is
some
at
least
kind
of
general
support
for
this
concept
is
are.
Are
we
comfortable
like
taking
about
to
circulate
this
tonight?.
E
A
Typically,
this
is
a
step
we
take
with
zoning
changes,
although
this
isn't
a
zoning
change,
but
sometimes
we
do
it
with
other
legislation
as
well.
It
just
basically
means
that
we
send
the
proposal
to
like
the
city's
boards
and
committees
to
review,
and
it
also
just
honestly
just
kind
of
gives
like
a
month
where
it
can
go
out
to
the
public
for
more
feedback,
and
you
know
maybe
the
media
can
write
about
it
and
a
lot
of
times
with
a
zoning
change.
A
We're
required
legally
required
to
hold
a
public
hearing
at
the
next
month's
meeting.
We're
not.
I
don't
think
we're
required
to
do
that
in
this
case,
but
a
lot
of
times
we'll
hold
a
public
hearing
just
to
get
more
feedback
on
it.
So
it's
really
just
kind
of
a
way
to
to
continue
the
conversation
and
get
more
public
input,
donna
and
then
sadia.
J
J
A
I
kind
of
lost
track
of
who
was
next.
I
saw
some
people
have
their
cynthia
cynthia
and
then
patrick
and
laura.
C
Yeah,
I
would,
I
would
definitely
vote
to
circulate,
I
would
remove.
I
would
keep
the
first
and
the
last,
whereas
and
circulate
it
that
way.
I
realized.
I
don't
think
this
has
been
moved
or
seconded.
Do.
C
A
A
Secondary
cynthia
patrick
did
you
have
any
other
comments,
or
can
we
go
to
laura.
K
I
Yeah,
thank
you.
Thank
you.
I
would
vote
to
circulate
so
that
we
can
get
broader
input,
which
is
what
you
know.
What
circulating
it
means.
I
As
opposed
to
moving
to
voted
on
to
council,
where
there
would
be
a
council
vote
taken-
and
I
also
agree
with
keeping
the
first
and
the
last
whereases
you've
written-
I
wonder
about
also
including
the
second
and
third
from
last.
Whereas
is
it
beneficial
to
this
ordinance
to
know
that
cornell
is
mandating
first
and
second
year,
students
living
in
university,
owned
housing
and
the
university
holds
its
housing
assignments
in
february
and
march?
I
C
Yeah,
I
I
don't
think
it's
relevant
in
the
sense
that
this
is
legislation
that
should
be
applied
most
broadly
and
and
should
fit
with
our
our
broadest
renter
population.
I
don't
want
to
give
the
impression
that
we
are
passing
legislation
for
a
targeted
subgroup
based
on
a
certain
demographic.
A
Okay,
so
we
have
a
motion
to
circulate.
It's
been
seconded
I'll
say
that
for
myself,
like
I'm
happy
to
vote
to
circulate
this,
I
still
have
a
lot
of
questions
about
it.
It
you
know.
I
think
this
is
a
really
really
big
change
for
the
college
town
market
in
some
ways,
even
bigger
than
good
cause.
A
So
you
know-
and
I'm
also
like
I'm
also
a
bit
sensitive
to
the
fact
that
we've
been
discussing
good
cause
for
months
now,
and
I
think
I
think
it's
important
that
we
still
kind
of
give
that
legislation
its
time
in
the
sun
and
not
get
distracted
by
something
else.
That's
going
to
be
equally
or
possibly
even
more
controversial.
A
C
Well,
I
guess
I'm
I'm
trying
to
get
a
sense
of
my
colleagues
if
they
would
support
or
if
they
think
it's
beneficial,
because
of
how
long
this
change
may
take.
C
I
do
believe
that
our
intent
is
to
remove
the
waiver
right
away,
especially
well,
I
don't
know
how
often
people
enter
into
new
lease
contracts
in
february
or
march,
but
it
would
give
us
the
opportunity
to
put
that
in
place
in
an
expedited
manner.
K
My
first
thought
is
no,
and
I
think,
just
the
sort
of
idea
that
I
I
guess
I
personally
would
not
feel
comfortable
voting
anything
through
today
with
us,
giving
this
piece
of
legislation
into
a
new
council.
I.
K
Just
regardless
of
what
it
is
so
that
you
know
many
sense.
E
A
A
B
I
think
that
I'll
just
be
in
touch
with
patrick
to
also
you
know,
draft
a
memo,
and
then
you
can
go
through
the
process
of
circulating.
Do
you
want
to
have
a
public
hearing
as
well
at
the
next
one,
or
do
you
want
to
make
you
know
like?
As
you
said,
I
don't
believe
it's
required,
but
that
would
be
part
of
the
circulation
if
you
wanted
to
have
it.
K
D
A
A
A
So
I
I
mean
I'll
say
that
you
know
I.
I
really
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
chair
this
committee
for
so
many
years
and
especially
working
with
unfortunately
joanna's,
not
here,
but
I
mean
fortunately
for
joanne.
She
isn't
here,
but.
A
I'll
just
say
you
know:
I've
really
appreciated
over
the
years
chairing
this
committee,
it's
been,
it's
been
amazing
to
serve
with
all
the
the
different
folks
on
council
and
you
know
and
see
the
changes
that
have
happened
in
the
city
from
the
rebuild
of
the
commons.
A
To
you
know
the
repair
of
so
many
miles
of
sidewalk
in
the
city
and
the
zoning
changes
that
have
happened
in
the
new
housing,
and
you
know
210
hancock
and
all
the
all
the
great
changes
that
that
have
been
made,
and
I
also
want
to
give
a
huge
thanks
to
the
planning
staff
for
all
of
their
work.
You
know
tracking
our
complicated,
sometimes
bewildering
debates.
G
A
This
committee,
and
sticking
by
us
for
all
these
years
and
and
also
debbie
for
you
know,
I
see
cynthia's
reminding
us
that
we
have
to
pass
the
minute
to
debbie
for
her
her
diligence
and
preparing
agendas
and
getting
the
minutes
prepared.
You
know
it's
we.
We
could
not
do
this
without
you,
it's
absolutely
essential
work.
So
thank
you
for
for
all
of
your
service
over
the
the
years
that
I've
been
chair
of
this
committee.
A
C
Yeah,
so
I
wanted
to
express
my
gratitude
to
to
yusuf
you've
you've
been
an
incredible
chair
of
the
pedc.
C
C
C
One
thing
I've
really
appreciated
is
that
you've
really
worked
to
create
a
structure
environment
that
is
supportive
of
a
staff
of
council
members
of
the
public,
clearly
outlining
next
steps,
giving
people
an
opportunity
to
to
speak
and
be
heard
very
in
a
very
deliberative
and
and
even
keeled
fashion.
C
It
is
not
an
easy
thing
to
do.
You've
done
it
really.
Well,
I
I
really
appreciate
how
you
can
take
complex
issues
and
and
come
up
with
a
summary.
That's
clear
and
easy
to
understand
and
really
succinctly
summarizes
what
the
the
key
issues
and
concerns
are
that
are
in
front
of
your
mind
and
and
bring
them
for
the
forefront.
C
So
I
just
I
really
want
to
express
my
appreciation
for
that
and
you've
really
helped
me
model
how
I
chair
my
committees,
and
I
keep
your
your
your
actions
in
mind,
as
as
I
try
to
steer
my
own
complex
committees
through
through
their
iteration.
So
I
want
to
thank
you
for
that,
and
and
definitely
of
course,
well
staff.
C
I'm
gonna
keep
working
with
you
guys,
so
I'm
not
going
to
say
thank
you
to
you
all
yet,
but
and
and
donna
I
love
the
fact
you
know
you
have
always
like
thought
very
clearly
through
all
of
again
complex
issues
with
an
incredible
sense
of
humor
that
just
makes
it
fun
and
engaging
and
really
brings
both
a
pointedness
like
look,
let's
really
get
down
to
the
brass
tacks
of
what
we're
doing
here
and
what
the
issues
are.
C
You're,
always
direct
and
straight
to
the
point
you
do
it
with
with
grace
and
with
humor
and
with
intellect
and
with
professionalism,
and
I
have
so
enjoyed
working
with
you
and
the
the
thing
that
I
want
to
express.
Is
I
really
admire
your
courage.
C
There
have
been
times
where
people
have
been
called
out
and
made
to
be
feel
very
uncomfortable
or
or
compromised
in
some
way,
and
you
have
always
been
very
quick
and
the
first
person
to
stand
up
for
someone
who
has
been
unfairly
targeted
and
say
look
in
my
experience.
This
is
completely
uncalled
for.
I
know
that
this
person
is
not
this
way
and
does
not
justify,
and
nobody
deserves
to
be
treated
this
way
and
you've
always
been
the
first
person
to
say
that
I
wish
I
had
more
of
your
courage.
C
I
want
to
have
more
of
your
courage,
and
I
hope
that
I
can
channel
you
in
the
future,
because
I
will
really
sorely
miss
that
voice,
that
you
bring
to
stand
beside
people
when
they
feel
the
most
beleaguered.
So
I
appreciate
that
about
you.
Thank
you.
Donna.
K
Well,
I
promise
to
share
my
love
and
thanks
for
the
end
where
we're
at
this
part,
but
I
I
do
not
have
as
spent
as
much
time
as
cynthia
and
laura
have
with
yusef
as
chair
and
down
on
the
committee
as
well
with
my
sincerest
thanks
for
welcoming
me,
I
guess
is
the
shortest
best
way.
K
I
can
say
it
is
welcoming
me
not
just
not
to
counsel
off
this
committee,
but
into
your
homes
and
with
meals
with
you
all,
and
I
can't
thank
you
enough
for
being
so
inclusive
of
those
of
us
that
are
new
and
it's
it's
a
shame
to
see
you
go,
but
I
think,
as
cevante
said
at
a
council
meeting,
you
might
be
leaving
council
but
there's
no
way
you're
getting
too
far
away,
you're
still
going
to
be
at
least
doing
one
or
two
things
with
us,
hopefully
and
steph.
I
know
you
were.
K
You
are
now
part
of
the
rendition,
because
you
would
hear
lots
from
me
at
least
about
and
just
an
overall
just
a
thank
you
for
for
both
of
you.
It's
so
certainly
appreciated
and
wishing
you
the
best
thank.
A
You
patrick
laura.
I
Yeah,
this
is
kind
of
part.
Two
of
my
thanks.
I
was
picking
up
on
the
thanks
expressed
by
ray
schlatter
at
the
beginning
of
the
meeting,
and
so
I
said
much
of
what
I
wanted
to
say.
I
did
want
to
add
that
I
am
so
appreciative
of
the
ability
to
engage
with
members
of
this
committee
and
share
your
instrumental
in
setting
the
tone
and
tenor
for
our
debates
and
our
discussions.
I
We
have,
as
has
been
mentioned,
discussed
and
addressed
some
very
challenging
and
difficult
issues
on
which
we
may
not
all
agree,
I'm
thinking
of
a
number
of
them
in
my
term,
my
term
on
this
committee,
but
when
I
think
of
our
discussions
around
adus,
for
example,
where
we
had
differing
views
and
most
recently
on
some
of
the
issues
we've
discussed,
we've
done
it
with,
as
I
think
cynthia
has
mentioned,
and
others
have
commented
in
the
past,
we've
done
it
with
great
respect
for
one
another
and
the
ability
to
disagree
with
one
another.
I
But
to
do
so
by
disagreeing
with
a
position
and
not
with
a
person-
and
I
think
that's
rare,
and
I
really
want
to
appreciate
your
leadership
in
establishing
that
tenor
for
our
committee
over
the
time
I've
been
on
this
committee
so
again,
thank
you,
seth
for
your
chairing.
A
Thanks,
laura
donna.
J
I
I
thank
you
to
thank
you
for
saying
such
nice
things
about
me.
That's
very
meaningful.
This
whole
time
on
council
has
been
deeply
meaningful.
I
want
to
repeat
expressions
of
thanks
to
the
planning
staff.
J
Everybody
that
I've
met
in
the
planning
department
has
been
extraordinarily
helpful
and
patient
and
committed
to
the
goals
of
the
city.
I've
had
personal
meetings
and
personal
phone
calls
with
all
the
planners.
I
think
and
they've
always
been
willing
to
explain
things
to
me
like
for
the
third
time,
so
I
really
appreciate
that
I've
learned
a
lot
and
it's
just
been
a
pleasure
to
work
with
the
with
the
planning
staff,
and
I
might
just
hang
out
up
there
every
now
and
then
see.
J
So,
and
also
working
with
this
committee
has
been
a
wonderful
experience
and
yes,
steph
and
I
have
disagreed
over
some
stuff,
but
I
think
that
that
added
he
has
set
the
tone
for
being
respectful
and
civil
and
for
engaging
in
debate
that
puts
forward
our
reasons
and
doesn't
slam
anybody
personally,
and
I
really
appreciate
that
tenor
and
I
think
that
it's
a
model
for
government
around
the
world.
J
So
thanks
again
for
the
opportunity
to
work
with
you
and
good
luck
next
year,.
A
Thanks
donna,
I'm
glad
cynthia
brought
up
the
community
gardens.
That
was
a
that
was
a
big
one.
We
actually
got
that
done.
I
never
thought
we
would
adus
didn't
happen,
but
at
least
we
we
managed
to
do
that.
One
okay,
so
I
will
note
that
cynthia
is
reminding
us
about
the
minutes
which
we
don't
want
to
forget
those.
A
So
is
there
a
motion
on
the
minutes
moved
by
cynthia
seconded
by
donna
all
in
favor
of
passing
the
minutes
and
that
carries
unanimously
and
motion
to
adjourn,
moved
by
laura
seconded
by
donna
thanks.
Everyone
bye.
