Okay,
a

City

I'm.
A
21
plus
year
resident
at

North
ring
North
Avenue
Mountain

I
live
75
feet
away
from
O'malley's
bar
at

old
Middlefield
way,
separated
only
by
a
chain-link

F

My
fight
is
not
with
the

It
is
with
the
conditional

Permit
please
City

please

Please

That's
that
that's
the
point.
F
A
A
Thank
you
very
much,
so
it
will
close
oral
communications
and
move
on
to
item
4,
a
new
business
4.1
amendment
to
the
urgency
ordinance
temporarily.
Suspending
evictions
for
non-payment
of
rent
by
residential
tenants,
impacted
by
co,
vid,
19
and
I.
Believe
our
staff
presentation
is
by
our
city
attorney
mr.
Christian
Oprah.
G
G
The
item
before
you
tonight
is
a
proposed
extension
of
the
city's
ordinance,
which
temporarily
suspends
evictions
for
non-payment
of
rent
by
residential
tenants
impacted
by
the
coab
in
nineteen
emergency,
which
is
set
to
expire
on
May
31st
at
its
May
12th
meeting
Council
requested
consideration
of
a
potential
extension
of
the
ordinance
prior
to
the
expiration
of
the
initial
term.
I
wanted
to
provide
some
background
and
the
origins
of
the
initial
ordinance
then
discuss
staffs
recommendation
for
extending
the
term
and
then
options
within
that
recommendation.
G
In
March,
the
governor
issued
two
executive
orders,
the
first
on
March
16th,
which
suspends
state
laws
which
preempt
or
restrict
local
jurisdictions
authority
to
prohibit
evictions.
The
second
on
March
27th
prohibited
enforcement
of
individual
orders
for
renters
affected
by
koban
19
through
May
31st
2020.
As
of
today,
the
governor
has
not
extended
that
order
close
in
time
to
the
governor's
order.
G
The
city,
along
with
five
other
cities
in
the
county,
adopted
urgency
ordinances
which
prohibit
eviction
of
residential
tenants
impacted
by
COBIT,
the
County
of
Santa
Clara,
also
adopted
in
urgency,
ordinance,
which
covers
the
unincorporated
areas
and
all
cities
in
the
county,
but
Allah
four
cities
to
adopt
their
own
ordinances.
Two
cities
elected
not
to
adopt
local
ordinances
and
therefore
follow
the
county.
Ordinance.
There's
been
considerable
uncertainty
surrounding
the
question
of
whether
the
governor
intends
to
extend
his
executive
order
and,
if
so,
to
what
date.
G
This
has
made
it
very
challenging
for
those
cities
who
have
ordinances
with
the
May
31st
exploration
term
to
determine
whether
to
extend
and
if
so,
to
what
date.
What
has
become
clear
as
the
Kobe
crisis
has
evolved,
is
that
cities
in
the
county
are
taking
increasingly
independent
and
individualized
action
under
their
own
police
powers
and
the
legal
authority
granted
them
is
under
emergency
circumstances.
G
The
order
of
Harvard
importantly
does
not
prohibit
landlords
from
serving
tenants
with
notices
to
pay
rent
or
move,
and
the
receipt
of
such
notices
often
results
in
tenants
who
are
unable
to
pay
the
rent
moving
out
for
fear
of
adverse
consequences.
This
is
another
reason
why
many
cities
are
considering
extending
their
ordinances,
because
the
local
ordinances
do
have
a
protective
effect
beyond
the
judicial
council
order.
G
The
legal
basis
for
extending
the
ordinance
is
that
the
impacts
of
the
koban
19
crisis
continue
to
significantly
impact
tenants
ability
to
pay
rent
and
the
consequences
of
potential
mass
evictions
justify
extending
the
term
of
the
ordinance.
Since
its
adoption,
the
ordinance
appears
to
have
been
in
a
effective
tool
which
has
strengthened
the
cities,
rent
relief
efforts
and
there's
more
detailed
information
about
that.
G
In
the
staff
report
and
I
know,
we
just
received
some
updated
information
late
this
afternoon,
staff
originally
recommended
extending
the
ordinance
to
June
30th
amidst
much
uncertainty
over
the
next
steps
from
the
governor
and
the
county
staff
also
acknowledged
that
a
later
date
would
also
be
appropriate.
If
council
chooses
June,
30th
was
initially
recommended
as
a
short
duration
and
a
measured
approach
for
an
extension,
and
that
was
supported
by
a
high
degree
of
certainty
that
emergency
conditions
and
the
shelter
in
place
order
will
continue
through
June.
G
G
Unfortunately,
the
way
the
crisis
has
unfolded
has
created
different
levels
of
regulation
and
interplay
among
the
state
order
and
the
county
order,
which
does
not
yield
a
simple,
one-size-fits-all
approach
for
the
cities
and
the
county.
The
county
itself,
as
you
know,
will
not
have
taken
final
action
on
this
matter,
extending
their
ordinance
until
after
the
governor's
order
expires
on
May
31st.
G
As
of
today,
staff
has
learned
more
information
which
has
been
helpful
in
these
making
these
recommendations
to
council.
Although
the
state
still
has
an
extended
its
order,
staff
learned
that
there
is
some
more
certainty
surrounding
the
county's
decision
to
extend
to
August
31st
and
the
county
is
expected
to
discuss
their
moratorium
extension
again
at
a
meeting
on
June
2nd
in
light
of
the
likelihood
emergency
conditions
will,
just
through
the
next
several
months
and
based
on
review
jurisdictions.
G
G
Just
a
procedural
note:
five
votes
are
required
to
adopt
the
ordinance
extension
tonight
and,
if
adopted,
it
will
become
effective
immediately.
The
one
final
clerical
note
about
the
report.
There
is
one
update
to
the
table
on
page
5
that
I
mentioned
that,
which
initially
indicated
the
town
of
Los
Gatos
does
not
have
a
rent
stabilization
program.
Staff
recently
confirmed
that
they
do
so.
We've
made
that
update
to
the
table
and
the
updated
table
will
be
made
available
to
Council
later
for
their
deliberations.
This
concludes
my
presentation
and
staff
is
available
for
any
questions.
A
H
I
D
Absolutely
first
of
all,
let
me
just
say
that
csa
uncharacteristically,
actually
weighed
in
on
this
topic
and
sent
you
all
a
letter
a
week
ago
in
which
we
like
I,
said
uncharacteristically
for
CSA,
advocated
for
an
August
31st
extension
and
the
reason
why
we
did.
That
was
precisely
because
we
felt
that
an
extension
to
the
eviction
moratorium
would
aid
our
ability
to
do
rent
relief
right
now.
D
Csa
has
a
higher
number
of
people
requesting
rent
relief
than
any
other
agency,
and
the
emergency
assistance
network
and
I
think
it's
important
to
note
that
there
is
a
big
difference
between
rent
relief.
Financial
assistance
is
what's
being
offered
through
destination
home
and
then,
of
course,
the
the
Dre
assistance
for
those
who
are
not
eligible
for
federal
benefits
is
a
very
different
animal.
All
together.
D
All
of
those
are
very
different
kinds
of
things
in
rent
relief
is
by
far
the
most
flex
and
that's
why
as
much
time
as
needed
as
possible,
and
we
have
actually
very
provided
I'm,
not
sure
what
the
staff
provided
you
as
far
as
numbers
that
were
late
in
coming
to
you
this
afternoon.
I
will
tell
you
this
that
we
will
have
served
600
households
over
the
weekend.
D
We
will
reach
that
600
number
and
we
will
have
allocated
out
1.25
million
of
the
city
funds
so
of
of
the
600
households
that
have
been
approved
for
rent
relief.
We
have
checks
that
have
gone
out
to
well
over
500
landlords,
so
well.
Over
500
landlords
have
actually
received
in
cash
their
check
at
this
point
and
then
the
other,
the
others
in
the
in
the
system
that
have
been
approved,
that's
already
allocated
money
and
that
all
adds
up
to
1.25
million,
and
so
yes
I
do
think
that
that
does.
D
D
But
you
can
see
that
we
do
need
if
we're
going
to
allocate
all
of
the
city
funds
and
then
as
well.
Csa
has
been
raising
funds
on
top
of
this,
which
will
help
to
extend
the
program
even
further
and
as
we
state
in
that
letter,
which
came
from
my
board
of
directors
actually
and
not
from
from
me
alone,
we
we
feel
like
the
extent
the
city
funds,
plus
the
extension
of
fundraising
funds
that
CSA
has
been
able
to
do,
can
help
to
keep
this
program
going
well
into
the
summer.
D
I
think
the
closer
we
get
to
the
end
of
an
eviction
moratorium,
the
more
panicked
people
are
going
to
be
the
more
difficult
it's
going
to
be
for
our
clients
and
so
to
continue
rent
relief,
as
well
as
all
the
other
financial
assistance
and
other
assistance.
That's
available
to
folks
that's
going
to
become
much
much
much
more
important
as
we
move
close
to
the
end
of
the
eviction
moratorium.
So
the
more
time
we
can
get
the
we're
going
to
be
able
to
do
a.
I
Quick
follow-up
question
so
I'm
looking
staff
provided
us
like
a
weekly
change
column
for
the
figures
that
that
were
given
and
if
I'm,
if
I'm
asked,
is
sort
of
all
right
here
it
looks
like
or
are
we
are
we
looking
at?
How
many,
how
many
checks
per
week?
Are
we
looking
because
this
one
looks
this
one
says
the
first
suggests
35
additional
households
were
helped
over
the
past
week,
which
doesn't
strike
me
as
a
huge
number,
but
maybe
that's
because
I'm
not
interpreting
this
table
correctly.
D
It
to
speed
up
slightly,
as
you
know,
we've
ramped
up
quite
a
bit
in
the
case
management
area,
we're
now
starting
to
ramp
up
in
the
finance
area.
We've
already
added
one
temporary
finance
staff,
we're
getting
ready
to
add
an
additional
temporary
finance
staff,
which
will
help
to
close
the
gap
between
the
number
served
and
the
number
of
checks
that
have
actually
gone
out
and
been
cashed
by
landlords
and
then
that
so
I
would
expect
that
it
to
speed
up.
We
did
add
two
new
temporary
case
management
staff
this
week.
Okay,
great
thank.
I
J
Thank
you,
hello.
Everyone
I
just
wanted
to
provide
a
clarification
to
the
question
that
councilmember
Romero's
just
asked
in
terms
of
the
table,
so
there
is
a
part
of
the
table
that
is
including
applications
that
are
awaiting
payment,
so
that
is
included
in
what
mr.
Meyers
talked
about.
So
it's
not
just
the
payments
that
have
actually
gone
out,
but
those
that
have
been
approved
and
are
also
awaiting
payment,
so
those
should
be
taken
together.
A
If
not,
I
will
open
this
up
for
public
comment.
So
again,
if
you
are
in
the
attendee
box
on
zoom',
please
hit
the
raise
hand
button,
and
if
you
are
on
the
phone,
you
can
hit
star
nine
and
that's
coming
up
so
so
far
I'm
city
quick.
Do
we
have
any
other
public
comments
just
to
get
a
sense
of
total
number?
A
C
A
E
E
The
anxiety
level
is
almost
hard
to
describe
to
the
point
where
it's
really
it's
affecting
mental
health
of
families,
because
they're
waiting,
anxiously
they're
waiting
anxiously
to
find
out
if
they're
going
to
get
their
rent
really
and
yet
they're
going
to
have
be
able
to
hold
on
to
their
homes
being
without
a
job
is
so
incredibly
stressful.
I
can't
overemphasize
the
impact
that
this
can
have
on
an
entire
family.
E
To
extend
it
one
more
month
would
I
think
to
a
great
extent
continue.
This
state
of
uncertainty
and
panic
and
that
extending
it
as
long
as
you
believe
that
you
can
reasonably
do
it,
would
would
help
a
great
deal
as
work,
also
extending
the
time
that
people
are
going
to
have
to
repay
the
rent,
because
that's
the
next
issue
that's
going
to
drop
here.
A
H
Thank
You
mayor
of
Ecole
de
and
I'm
Emily,
his
lefland
with
project
Sentinel.
As
you
all
know,
we
managed
the
Mountain
View
rental
housing
helpline
in
the
Mountain
View
mediation
program.
We've
been
dealing
with
or
navigating
a
patchwork
of
laws
at
the
federal
state,
county
and
city
level.
That
seemed
to
change
my
week
back
week.
That's
presented
some
challenges
and
advising
our
counseling,
our
callers
I,
wanted
to
give
you
guys
a
picture
of
the
types
of
calls
we've
received
since
the
shelter
in
place
began
between
the
mountain
view,
mediation
program
and
the
rental
housing
helpline.
H
We
have
had
about
280
calls
or
emails,
and
over
60%
of
those
have
been
from
people
who
are
impacted
by
code
19
and
the
colors
come
from
all
walks
of
life
and
even
include
those
considered
to
be
middle
income.
The
most
frequent
concern,
of
course,
is
the
inability
to
pay
rent
due
to
lost
work
or
needing
to
stay
home
with
kids.
H
We
also
get
calls
from
landlords
wanting
some
clarity
on
how
they
can
proceed
and
try
to
work
out
arrangements
with
their
tenants.
For
a
myriad
of
reasons,
everyone
is
panicked
and
that's
what
that
has
to
do
with
the
uncertainty
of
the
whole
situation.
What
would
aid
our
efforts
and
assisting
parties
in
working
out,
realistic,
Arrangements
around
rent
payment
is
once
they
get
back
to
work?
K
Great
Thank,
You,
hello,
Council,
so
I
was
a
former
mayor.
I've
served
non
view
and
local
nonprofits
for
many
years
today,
I'm
speaking
completely
as
myself,
and
not
representing
anyone.
First
I'd
like
to
thank
the
city,
UITs
leaders
and
staff
for
how
you've
responded
to
this
crisis
with
really
courage
and
caring
and
flexibility
I've
always
been
proud
of
Mountain,
View
and
I'm,
particularly
proud
of
that.
K
So
thank
you
for
putting
in
place
the
eviction
moratorium
as
part
of
your
response
to
protect
the
community
and
thank
you
today
for
considering
to
extending
the
moratorium
by
another
month,
I'm
wondering,
however,
why
you
would
do
it
for
only
30
days,
I
personally
doubt
that
it
will
be
out
of
the
woods
by
July,
1st
and
I
know
that
the
distribution
of
even
current
relief
monies
will
take
longer
than
one
month.
A
renters
are
terrified
of
losing
their
homes
and
the
small
landowners.
Our
landlords
are
anxious
about
a
dangerous
loss
of
income.
K
Why
not
give
them
more
breathing
space
to
deal
with
the
emergency?
Also,
why
force
yourselves
and
the
city
is
very
hardworking
staff
to
revisit
the
issue
so
soon,
when
the
likelihood
of
significant
change
very
soon
is
really
low.
So
please
consider
extending
the
moratorium
through
the
end
of
August
following
the
County
Road,
and
thank
you
very
much
for
your
work.
L
Be
glad
to
good
evening
Alex
from
the
Mountain
View
mobile
home
alliance.
Here,
the
mountain
II
mobile
home
Alliance
has
been
holding
regular
weekly
meetings
about
this
ongoing
crisis.
Our
residents
are
taking
advantage
of
rent
relief,
food
assistance
and
other
help
offered
by
CSA
hopes,
Corner
Mountain,
View,
Wisman,
School,
District
and
other
fantastic
organizations
we're
a
strong
community,
but
many
of
our
members
are
struggling
with
loss
of
income
cause
the
Cova
19.
This
is
on
top
of
years
of
rent
increases
that
have
made
our
households
less
resilient.
Is
systemic
shocks.
There's
a
huge
emotional
toll.
L
When
you
lose
your
job,
it's
only
compounded
when
you
might
also
lose
your
housing,
the
eviction
moratoriums,
at
least
we
can
do
to
try
to
help
alleviate
the
burden
on
our
community
members
as
you,
whether
these
harrowing
times,
please
extend
the
moratorium
for
as
long
as
you
can
to
help
give
people
a
greater
sense
of
stability
and
extend
the
repayment
schedule
to
allow
them
to
recover
as
we
acclimate
to
whatever
we
call
normal
going
forward.
Thank
you.
A
M
M
I
really
would
like
to
see
where,
in
our
market
economy,
the
fine
print
exists
that
says
rental
housing
operators
are
not
subject
to
market
risk
when
I
think
about
hair
salon
operators,
nail
salon,
operators,
restaurant
ears,
presumably
all
of
these
individuals
who
operate
these
businesses
on
loads
of
personal
risk
at
some
point
to
finance
and
invest
into
these
businesses.
And
now
they
are
also
totally
in
shambles,
and
the
government
is
saying
to
these
individuals.
Your
businesses
must
be
shut
down
because
it's
a
public
health
crisis
and
so
I'm
again
trying
to
think.
M
Why
is
this
inconsistency
existing?
Why
are
we
not
discussing
nail
salon
really
funds
right
now?
Is
it
not
a
taking
for
the
government
to
say
to
a
barber
shop
owner
pay
all
that
money
that
you
invested
into
your
business,
all
that
revenue
that
you
depend
on
to
maintain
your
livelihood
and
your
business
you're
not
gonna,
get
that.
M
Well.
Why
should
we
treat
rental
housing
operators
to
say
why
should
we
not
treat
rental
housing
operators
the
same
right
now
all
of
society?
Everyone
is
sacrificing
and
none
of
us
are
going
to
be
made
whole.
There's
someone
gonna
compensate
me
for
the
last
business
deals
I
had
on
the
table
when
Co
had
started.
No
is
someone
going
to
compensate
the
nail
salon
owners,
no,
and
so
we
all
have
to
take
a
hit.
Unfortunately,
that's
what
depressions
are
about
that's
what
a
free
market
economy
is
about,
there's
risk
in
it.
M
So
one
thing
that
I
would
really
and
I
have
no
expectation
that
this
will
happen,
but
I
at
least
would
like
to
have
some
kind
of
understanding
of
you
know
our
art
leaders,
understanding
of
why
rental
housing
operators
need
to
become
whole
when
all
this
is
said
and
done
when
the
people
who
are
living
in
their
homes
are
absolutely
not
going
to
become
whole
and
they're
going
to
be
out
on
the
streets
from
this
addiction
time
bomb
when
it's
all
over
in
120
days.
Someone
just
like.
Please
explain
that
to
me.
A
C
A
N
Okay,
so
good,
you
need
City,
Council
members
and
one
thing
I
want
to
say
really.
Thank
you
very
much
for
addressing
this
great
big
issue
and
I
created.
My
name
is
Sandra
sparsa
and
a
part
of
the
caucus
to
do
group
me
as
a
volunteer
being
on
the
ground
signs
one
day,
stopping
in
place
serving
our
community
being
a
volunteer
with
hot
corner
monkey.
We
worship
a
school
district
now
volunteer
would
continue
helping
as
much
as
they
can
with
my
horn,
Amalia
Paris.
So
I
listened
to
everyone
and
it
is
really
we
are
ontology.
N
Our
community
is
extending
moratorium.
They're
not
gonna,
be
covering
one
two
three
months.
Please,
you
know
if
you
notice
that
I
was
supposed
to
be
school
stars,
so
there
has
to
deal
with
the
rain.
They
cannot
eventually
can
pay
they're
not
able
to
pay
that
no
one,
our
community,
who
has
very
low
angle
from
another
starting
working
yet
so
how
can
you
expect
him
to
pay
this
month's
over
over
the,
and
there
are
only
three
they're
really
really
getting
set.
N
That
kids
are
getting
very
depressed,
they're
getting
sad
and
then
you
imagine,
the
everybody
will
be
outside.
Look
how
many
homeless
we're
gonna
have
in
our
beautiful
city.
Don't
we
our
diversity?
So
please
is
telling,
from
the
bottom
of
my
heart,
try
to
make
something
happen
and
make
the
difference.
Our
community,
you
guys,
have
gained
the
best
tremendous
job
so
keep
it
up
and
keep
helping
our
community.
Thank
you
so
much
and
have
a
great
night.
Thank
you.
C
Indicated
so
I
do
have
a
few
emails
to
read
start
the
timer.
This
one
is
a
lengthy,
solve
and
start
the
timer.
This
email
is
from
Bill
Cosby
on
behalf
of
the
Mountain
View
housing
Justice
Coalition,
Honorable,
City,
Council
members.
We
are
writing
to
rearrange
you
regarding
our
city's
moratorium
on
rental
evictions
that
is
set
to
expire
on
Sunday
May,
31st
2020.
We
urgently
ask
that
you
extend
the
current
moratorium
to
at
least
August
31,
2020
or
better
until
the
end
of
the
calendar
year.
C
We
also
ask
they
consider
extending
the
time
frame
for
repayment
of
back
rent
beyond
the
current
120
days
period.
We
further
ask
you
to
direct
staff
to
research
options
to
mitigate
the
approaching
displacement
time
bomb
that
is
likely
when
rents
become
due
federal
and
state.
Support
may
be
part
of
this
planning.
The
county
has
extended
its
moratorium
until
August
31st
2020,
following
further
details
regarding
the
urgency
of
our
request,
many
of
the
renters
in
our
community
are
not
receiving
their
usual
income
because
their
employers
are
either
temporarily
closed
or
operating
at
a
reduced
level.
C
This
is
especially
true
for
foodservice
hotel
travel
and
childcare
employees.
Many
are
currently
paying
rent
from
their
savings,
but
at
some
point
those
these
savings
will
be
exhausted,
even
as
the
current
shelter
and
place
orders
are
lifted,
the
volume
and
these
businesses
and
the
income
of
their
employees
will
only
increase
over
time.
It
is
important
that
it
was
working
for
the
city
to
take
steps
now
to
prevent
a
massive
displacement
tour
of
our
current
due
to
addiction.
C
Nom
view
is
quite
fortunate
and
that
many
of
its
renters
employed
in
the
tech
industry
are
still
working
and
able
to
pay
rent.
In
addition,
Social
Security
benefits
in
all
forms
continue
to
be
sent
to
recipients
as
their
pensions
and
similar
retirement
benefits.
As
a
result,
overall
landlords
will
continue
to
receive
rental
income
for
many
of
their
tenants.
C
Those
tenants
who
are
not
able
to
pay
right
now
will
likely
be
able
to
pay
down
the
road,
since
the
city's
moratorium
doesn't
does
include
a
time
frame
for
repayment
of
background
landlords
will
get
the
funds
they
are
due
without,
in
most
cases
having
to
resort
to
addiction.
We
request
that
the
city
also
explore
ways
to
support
small
landlords
whose
viability
is
threatened
by
the
temporary
loss
of
cash
flow.
Effective
response
of
the
state,
county
and
city
is
taking
considerable
time
to
implement
many
of
our
community
reported.
C
Their
applications
for
rental
assistance
made
to
CSA
in
April
have
not
yet
been
processed.
Edd
continues
to
struggle
to
keep
up
with
the
staggering
pace
of
unemployment
claims,
as
many
in
our
community
have
not
yet
received
funds
to
which
they
are
entitled
a
longer
time
frame
for
the
moratorium
is
most
called
for.
Finally,
the
city
staff
report
on
this
topic
knows
that
the
city's
rent
relief
program
administrator
administered
by
Community
Services
Agency,
is
significantly
greater
than
the
resources
available.
It
adds
there
is
only
FINA
funding
to
provide
approximately
1,300
households
one
month
or
rental
support.
C
1,800
households
have
applied,
and
one
month
is
not
enough.
Until
we
can
find
a
way
to
close
the
gap,
we
should
not
be
pushing
people
out
of
their
home
because
of
a
signal,
anticipate
or
control.
We
thank
you
for
your
attention
to
the
economic
distress
of
many
Mountain
few
residents
and
urge
you
to
extend
the
current
moratorium
to
August
31st
2020.
C
This
message
is
from
John
McDonald,
Honorable
mayor
vice
mayor
and
council
members.
The
need
for
extension
of
the
moratorium
on
evictions
is
quite
clear.
Advocates
for
affordable,
affordable
housing
finds
most
compelling
governor's
Newsome's
recommendation
of
a
tax
credit
for
landlords
for
80
to
90
percent
of
loss
of
actual
rents,
with
a
tenure
allowance
for
rent
paid
back
to
the
state.
We
are
aware
that
you
cannot
implement
such
a
plan.
He
urge
you
to
adopt
the
county's
extension,
which
allows
three
more
months
plus
one
year's
time
to
pay
back
rents.
C
At
the
very
least,
we
suggest
an
additional
clause
to
indicate
an
extension
for
two
or
more
months
following
the
lifting
of
the
shelter
in
place
order.
This
action
would
avoid
having
to
revisit
this
matter
repeatedly.
Clearly,
many
jobs
will
not
come
back
immediately,
so
the
ability
to
pay
back
take
a
while
Mountain
View
will
be
healthier
and
fewer
priced
out
of
housing
or
rendered
homeless.
Aah
appreciates
the
opportunity
to
weigh
in
on
this
matter.
We
trust
you
to
do
the
right
thing.
Sincerely:
John
McDonald.
C
The
next
email
is
from
Fernando
Romero,
dear
councilmembers.
I'm.
Writing
you
today
about
line
item.
4.1
amendment
urgency
ordinance
temporarily
suspending
evictions
for
non-payment
of
rent
that
is
set
to
expire
May,
31st
2020
I.
Ask
you
to
extend
the
current
or
the
ordinance
suspending
evictions
of
non-payment
of
rent
until
at
least
August
31st
2020
or
to
the
end
of
2020.
Please
direct
staff
to
research
and
study
the
current
economic
environment
to
further
help
small
landlords
and
low
middle-income
families
that
have
lost
their
jobs
and
their
income
due
to
the
pandemic.
A
I
Thank
you
man,
so
I've
been
thinking
about
this
one
a
lot
over
the
past
week
and
what
I'm
think
it's
probably
the
simplest,
simply
to
extend
the
moratorium
and
keep
it
in
line
with
the
county.
But
for
a
couple
of
reasons,
I
think
one
of
the
advantages
is
it
would
require
only
one
educational
campaign.
I
The
other
challenge,
I,
think,
is
if,
if
we
allow
our
eviction
moratorium
to
expire,
the
county
eviction
moratorium
will
persist
and
it
will
be
substantially
similar
but
lacks
some
of
the
minor
modifications
that
that
we've
included
and
I'm
not
not
recommending
that
we
modify
those
at
all.
Some
of
the
public
speakers
had
suggested,
but
I
feel
like
there's.
There's
there's
not
much
to
gain
from
allowing
our
eviction
moratorium
to
lapse
and
just
sort
of
let
the
county
moratorium
to
persist.
I
You
know
that
there
will
be
sort
of
public
knowledge
associated
with
our
local
moratorium,
expiring
and
I.
Think
confusion
over.
You
know
what
what
elements
of
the
county
you
know,
moratorium,
you
know,
will
hurt
a
tomb,
and
you
know
things
of
that
nature.
So
I
feel
like
extending
our
moratorium
and
continuing
to
align
the
county.
I
know
further
than
that
isn't
our
best
interest.
The
other
advantage
that
was
brought
up
is,
if
the
last
time
for
rent
relief
program
to
succeed
and
I
think
this
is.
I
This
is
the
elegance
and
the
solution
that
we
come
up
with.
You
know
something
like
a
rent,
cancellation
or
rent
forgiveness
program.
You
know,
may
not
be
constitutional,
it
has,
you
know,
kind
of
a
an
asymmetric
impact,
but
here
you
know
we've
allowed
ourselves.
Some
time
to
you
know,
help
folks
stay
in
their
homes,
but
also
make
sure
a
rental
property
are
made
whole
in
the
eviction.
I
Moratorium
only
applies
to
households
that
can
demonstrate
right
can
provide
documentation
that
they've
lost
income
because
of
coded,
and
not
just
sort
of
a
blanket
protection
for
everybody
to
prevent
abuse.
So
that's
that's
one
of
the
reasons
why
I
think
you
know
it's
an
appropriate
program.
That's
worked
very
well,
and
you
know:
I
trust,
Tom
and
CSA
to
you
know,
continue
making
progress
and
getting
the
different
rubbish
checks
out
there.
I
So,
for
those
reasons,
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
move
to
adopt
an
amendment
to
ordinance
number
2.20
in
urgency,
ordinance
of
the
city
of
mountain
veto,
temporarily
suspending
evictions
for
non-payment
of
rent
by
residential
tenants,
impacted
by
the
kovat
19
emergency,
extending
the
duration
of
the
ordinance,
and
then
it
would
be
because
it's
August
31st
2020
to
be
read
in
title.
Only
for
the
reading
wave
effective
immediately
upon
adoption.
A
O
We've
talked
about
on
council
I
think
it's
good
to
provide
some
level
of
certainty
to
the
community
and
help
ease
the
stress
that
a
lot
of
people
are
feeling
that's,
just
not
good
for
anyone.
So
I
would
like
to
extend
it
to
other
cities
and
I
also
am
interested
in
extending
the
payback
period
to
180
days.
If
councilmember
Ramirez
is
open
to
changing
that,
as
well
as
part
of
the
motion.
I
I
So
I
thank
you
for,
for
the
second
count
of
a
meta
check,
just
a
quick
question.
I'm
inclined
to
accept
the
amendment,
but
a
quick
question
for
staff
about
is
because
you
know,
we've
communicated
the
eviction
moratorium
parameters.
One
way
you
know
I
know
we're
going
to
have
to
work
pretty
aggressively
to
spread
the
word.
But
business
is
this
modification
that
staff
can
incorporate
and
an
advertise
pretty
easily.
P
Thank
you
for
the
question.
This
is
Wayne
Chinn,
yes,
I,
believe
so
we
have
already
begun.
The
initial
preparation
should
council
extend
the
moratorium
to
have
information
go
out
next
week
and
we'll
just
be
very
clear
about
the
action
that
the
council
has
taken
and
then
be
very
consistent
about
communicating
the
modifications
to
the
program
so
I
don't
sense
that
that
would
be
an
issue
right.
O
G
I,
just
have
just
a
point
of
clarification
that
payback
period
can
be
changed
to
180
days.
I
would
just
like
to
read
into
the
record
the
affected
sections
of
the
ordinance
when,
when
council
is
ready
for
four
council
votes,
but
I
want
to
check
if
any
other
council
member
has
any
other
comments.
Otherwise
I
would
make
those
clarifications
now.
A
Any
other
comments
from
Council
members
I
would
just
add
that
I
will
be
supporting
the
motion.
Thank
you
very
much
and
thank
you
for
the
amendment.
I
agree.
I've
been
thinking
about
this
quite
a
bit
and
when
I
want
to
say
it's
consistent
as
we
can
with
the
county
because,
as
it
was
mentioned,
there's
a
lot
of
different
orders
and
folks
are
getting
confused
as
to
what
person
here
in
Mountain
View.
A
So
as
closely
as
we
can
state
stay
with
the
counties
of
interest
to
me
to
have
certainty-
and
we've
been
doing
this
know
month
by
month,
I'm
giving
a
enough
long
enough
period
of
time,
also
for
CSA
to
get
the
applications
they've
received
and
I
was
just
thinking
about
payback
time
and
if
it
was
120
days
it
would
it
be
about
I
think
the
end
of
the
year,
which
is
always
a
challenge
with
the
holidays
and
so
forth.
So
to
be
able
to
give
a
couple
more
months.
I
think
makes
a
lot
of
sense.
A
G
For
the
record,
the
amendment
will
affect
the
caption
or
title
of
the
ordinance
changing
the
date
from
June
30th
2022
August,
31st
2020.
It
will
affect
section
2,
the
opening
paragraph
of
section
2
changing
the
date
from
June
30th,
2022,
August,
31st,
2020
and
then
also
the
payback
period.
Sections
which
are
affected
are
section.
2
e
and
F.
Changing
the
date
from
120
days
to
180
days
and
I
will
work
with
the
clerk
to
get
the
amended
document
to
reflect
that
correctly.
A
C
A
I
Thank
you,
Mary
no
report,
but
I
just
wanted
to
sort
of
remind
the
public
and
thank
you
for
your
leadership
in
getting
the
rent
relief
program
up
and
running,
because
I
think
it's
really
proven
effective
in
helping
a
lot
of
people
and
also
council
members,
matichek
and
McCallister,
for
your
advocacy
a
few
weeks
ago
to
to
bolster
the
song
game
there
I.
You
know
I've
been
hearing
a
lot
from
the
community
about
about
the
program
and
you
know
what,
while
I
think,
there's
always
room
for
improvement.
I
think
it's
really.
I
H
Guess
it's
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
that
we
could
roll
that
fund
into
the
rent
relief
fund,
as
it
would
then
maybe
be
more
accessible.
My
my
understanding
from
the
last
report
we
got
is
that
no
small
landlords
have
successfully
applied
for
us,
although
there
may
some
upcoming
ones,
I,
guess
that
the
only
applicant
at
the
time
we
got.
H
Our
last
report
was
an
Airbnb
landlord,
so
my
thoughts
are
if
we
rolled
it
in
to
the
tenant
landlord
rent
relief
fund,
that
we
currently
have
the
multi-million
dollar
one
that
we
would
have
more
access
to
that,
and
maybe
it
would
be
more
accessible
to
small
landlords,
would
also
mean
that
they
would,
as
small
landlords
accessed
it.
They
would
also
be
keeping
their
tenants
in
the
in
the
building.
So
so
that's
my
proposal
to
agendize
that
in
the
future
for
possibly
rolling
it
over
for
better
access
to
tenants
and
landlords,
I.

We
approved
a
impress
that
we
will
provide
to
the
FAA
on
the
noise
certification
regulations
for
supersonic
airplanes,
and
our
perspective
is
that
they
should
meet
the
same
requirements
as
a
subsonic
airplane
so
that
folks
living
nearby
and
are
not
exposed
to
greater
noise,
so
that
should
be
submitted.
Priests
into
the
FAA
and
then
also
I
just
want
to
note
that
there
is
an
opening
on
the
rental
housing
committee,
with
one
of
the
numbers
moving
out
of
Mountain,
View
so
just
general,
and
on
our
radar
that
we
would
be
doing
an
appointment.
A
A
Q
Great,
thank
you
so
much
so.
I
just
wanted
to
share
I,
attended
a
virtual
check
board
meeting
on
Wednesday
and
earlier
today,
Chuck
held
a
special
community
conversation
talking
about
clipping
and
driving
during
the
pandemic.
They
have
been
providing
services
to
our
youth
and
our
families
during
the
Cova
19
pandemic
and
just
are
sharing
that
with
folks,
and
so
people
are
interested
more
in
what
chuck
is
doing
related
to
youth
wellness
for
our
children
and
families.
Please,
let
me
know.
A
A
Next
week
we
haven't
quite
heard
yet
if
it's
happening
but
stay
tuned,
there's
two
sites,
actually
the
El
Camino
site
and
then
the
Planned
Parenthood
site
in
the
works.
But
yeah
I
was
very
pleased
to
see
that
happening
and
thank
you
to
staff.
It
was
Memorial
Day
and
they
got
very
late
word
on
that.
They
were
gonna
open
that
site
up
on
Memorial
Day,
so
they
really
had
to
scramble
and
they
did
a
great
job.
A
It
was
very
well-run,
I
thought
and
I
really
want
to
thank
our
staff
for
going
above
and
beyond,
to
make
that
happen
and
I'm
also
on
another
call
Saturday
morning,
and
this
was
also
trying
to
do
either.
Chavez
is
leading
this
effort
regarding
telecommuting
and
encouraging
telecommuting
after
we
come
out
a
shelter
in
place,
and
it
was
a
group
that
included
a
variety
of
folks
MTC
was
there
VTA
a
bag?
Our
district,
it's
part
of
the
I,
think
she
started
it
as
the
air
district
effort
and
idea.
A
A
The
agencies
could
follow,
and
then
we
talked
more
about
you
know
looking
at
efforts
to
reduce
single
occupancy
vehicles
as
a
way
to
continue
to
keep
the
carbon
emissions
lower
or
lower
the
carbon
emissions,
and
then
because
we
had
BTN
and
T
C
there.
There
is
some
concern
that
teleworking
would
create
a
loss
of
ridership,
so
the
thought
is
that
you
know
not.
Everybody
will
probably
touch
all
right,
not
everybody
can
telecommute.
A
So
how
do
we
continue
transit
for
those
who
need
transit
to
get
to
their
jobs,
and
so
those
are
the
two
focus
areas
so
far
of
this
group
and
at
some
point
we
may
be
getting
the
pledge
and
so
I'd
ask
you
know
all
of
you
to
consider
it,
but
we
were
meaning
again
tomorrow,
so
this
will
be
an
ongoing
effort
and
I'm
excited
about
it.
So
that
is
it
for
me.
Any
other
comments.
