A
B
G
G
I
understand
that
I'm
not
saying
that
that
people
didn't
have
fluctuating
bills.
I'm
saying
that
in
my
case
it
it's
not
true,
we
don't
have
residents
that
pay
for
vacant
unit
utilities.
That
was
also
brought
up.
While,
while
you
consider
this
topic-
and
you
read
the
city
staff
report,
you
should
not
be
saying
to
yourselves:
what
can
we
do
or
saying
as
a
group?
What
can
we
do?
First,
you
should
say:
should
we
do
anything?
G
G
G
H
Hi
good
evening,
I
just
wanted
to
say,
welcome
to
your
no
roll
Guadalupe
and
welcome
to
the
new
rental,
Housing
Commission
members
and
contrary
to
the
previous
speaker,
I
actually
live
in
a
unit
where
there
are
rubs
and
I
have
seen
fluctuations
between
150
to
250
dollars
a
month.
Even
one
month,
I
had
a
over
three
hundred
dollars
in
water
Alone
that
I.
H
It
took
me
nine
months
to
get
a
credit
back
after
they
investigated
and
was
able
to
give
me
back
a
portion
of
what
I
was
charged
so
I'm
I'm
for
pressing
forward
and
investigating
the
rugs
charges.
I
do
also
live
in
a
BMR
unit,
and
so
in
the
the
code
it's
considered
a
portion
of
rent
and
so
I
I'm.
All
for
the
council.
Are
the
committee
continuing
to
look
at
rubs.
Thank
you
and
again
welcome
to
the
new
committee
members
and
Guadalupe
in
your
new
role.
Thank
you.
B
A
I
J
I
I
So
we're
going
to
go
ahead
and
start
with
a
little
background
information.
The
first
topic
we're
going
to
talk
about
is
the
two
laws
that
our
program
implements
at
the
direction
of
the
rhc.
The
community
stabilization
and
fair
rent
Act
is
the
first
one
that
we're
going
to
start
with,
so
the
effective
date
of
the
csfra
is
December
23
2016..
I
I
The
bulk
of
them
in
our
city
are
fully
covered,
which
means
that
they
were
built
before
1995
have
three
or
more
units
on
the
property
and
are
not
a
government
or
subsidized
rental
unit.
There
are
some
exceptions
to
this
and
there
are
some
strange
properties
in
Mountain
View,
but
you
don't
need
to
know
all
of
those
details.
We
take
care
of
that
on
our
side.
There
are
also
partially
covered
units.
These
are
the
units
that
receive
only
eviction
protections,
they're
built
between
1995
and
2017..
I
This
is
a
breakdown
of
our
covered
units
in
the
city
there
are
about
16,
000,
Apartments,
13,
500
of
which
are
fully
covered
and
about
1500
are
partially
covered,
which
means
that
71
of
all
apartments
in
Mountain
View
are
fully
covered
by
the
csfra.
We
are
a
unique
jurisdiction
in
that
we
are
a
majority
of
renters
that
live
in
this
city,
58
of
people
in
the
city,
rent
their
homes,
as
opposed
to
42
percent
of
owner
occupied
housing,
and
the
next
topic
that
we'll
talk
about
briefly
is
the
mobile
home
rent
stabilization
ordinance.
I
I
All
mobile
home
parks
in
Mountain
View
are
covered
by
this
ordinance
and
it
does
something
similar.
It
functions
in
similar
ways
as
to
the
csfra
it
stabilizes
mobile,
home,
space,
rents
and
mobile
home
rents.
It
provides
eviction
protections
to
mobile
home
tenants
only
not
to
people
who
own
their
homes
and
do
not
rent
their
homes
out.
The
state
of
California
has
a
law
that
does
that,
and
it
ensures
a
fair
rate
of
return
for
mobile
home
park
owners
and
mobile
home
owners.
I
There
are
some
key
points
of
both
of
the
laws
that
really
spell
out
what
the
laws
do.
The
first
is
that
rent
is
specifically
defined
by
both
laws.
Rent
increases
are
limited,
properties
must
be
livable,
healthy
and
safe.
Housing
Services
must
be
maintained.
Evictions
are
restricted
to
nine
reasons
or
just
causes.
I
So
to
implement
these
laws,
we
have
the
rent
stabilization
program,
of
which
you
see
two
staff
members
here
my
name
is
Patricia
black
I
forgot
to
introduce
myself,
and
this
is
Andrea
Kennedy,
so
to
implement
the
program.
The
rental
housing
committee-
you
all
are
a
key
part
of
it.
You
are
a
integral
yet
separate
part
of
the
city
government,
the
first
Committee
in
the
city
to
have
powers
and
duties
independent
from
the
city,
council,
the
city
manager
and
the
City
attorney.
I
You
oversee
the
implementation
of
the
csfra
and
the
mhrso,
and
you
provide
direction
to
the
rental
State,
the
rent,
stabilization
program
and
other
City
staff,
legal
counsel
and
Professional
Services,
who
all
work
together
to
implement
this
law
and
in
the
csfra.
It
actually
mentions
your
integrity
and
autonomy
as
a
body
in
section,
1709,
K
I'm
not
going
to
read
this,
but
it
is
here
for
your
reference.
I
The
rent
stabilization
program
works
with
tenants
and
landlords
to
achieve
the
three
main
goals
of
the
csfra
and
the
mhrso.
We
answer
questions
related
to
the
programs
and
tenant
landlord
rights
and
responsibilities.
We
conduct
Community,
Education
and
Outreach
efforts,
including
facilitating
workshops
and
Clinics,
and
creating
and
distributing
a
wide
variety
of
Outreach
materials.
I
We
administer
and
oversee
the
petition
and
hearing
process
for
rent
adjustments.
We
monitor
just
cause
eviction
noticing
and
other
mandatory
noticing
we
implement
the
tenant
relocation
assistance
ordinance.
On
behalf
of
the
city
council,
we
perform
policy
research
for
consideration
by
the
rental
housing
committee
and
the
city
council,
and
we
coordinate
and
prepare
rental
housing
committee
agendas,
minutes
and
reports.
I
I
I
The
rental
housing
committee
establishes
an
annual
budget
for
the
rent
stabilization
program
based
on
expenses
incurred
during
the
prior
fiscal
year
and
staff
projections
of
expenses
for
the
upcoming
fiscal
year.
The
program
is
fully
funded
by
two
annually
charged
fees:
the
rental
housing
fee
for
the
csfra
and
the
space
rent
fee
for
the
mhrso.
You
can
see
the
fees
for
the
2022-2023
fiscal
year
here
on
the
presentation.
I
So
now
we're
going
to
dive
a
little
bit
into
some
of
our
program
areas,
the
first
one
that
we'll
start
with
is
allowed
rent
increases
and
rent
adjustment.
Petitions
rent
increases
are
limited
by
the
annual
General
adjustment
of
rent,
which
we
will
be
setting
for
the
next
year
today.
This
evening,
each
year
the
rhc
sets
the
AGA
for
existing
tenancies
of
csfra
and
mhrso
covered
units.
I
I
And
we
also
have
a
petition
process.
The
petition
process
allows
for
Upward
and
downward
adjustments
of
rent
the
csfra
and
the
mhrso
require
the
city
to
provide
landlords
and
tenants
of
rent
stabilized
units
a
way
to
request
upward
or
downward
adjustments
of
rent
through
a
petition
process,
landlords
and
tenants
requesting
adjustment
in
rent
to
do
so
by
filing
petitions
with
the
city
and
entering
into
a
formal
process.
I
This
process
includes
the
filing
of
forms
and
documentation,
pre-hearing
meetings
and
pre-hearing
settlement
conferences,
if
requested,
hearings,
overseen
and
adjudicated
by
an
outside
independent
hearing
officer
and
the
issuing
of
a
formal
decision
by
that
same
hearing
officer,
the
process
also
allows
parties
to
file
petitions
to
file
appeals
with
the
rhc.
Should
they
dispute
the
outcome
of
the
decision.
Those
appeals
will
come
to
you
and
you
will
hear
them
and
make
decisions
on
them.
I
I
They
can
landlords
are
able
to
file
petitions
for
Upward
adjustment
of
rent
and
tenants
are
able
to
file
specific
ones
as
well.
Property
Owners
can
file
upward
adjustment
of
rent
petitions
for
mnoi,
which
is
maintenance
of
net
operating
income.
If
they're
unable
to
maintain
their
net
operating
income
between
a
two
two
specific
time
periods,
they
can
file
for
specified,
Capital,
Improvement
petitions
and
tenants
can
file
petitions
jointly
with
their
landlords
for
new
or
additional
Housing
Services.
I
I
We
also
Act
track
fee
payments
and
registration
to
ensure
compliance
with
the
law.
We
provide
extensive
Outreach
before
fees
and
registration
are
due,
including
multiple
letters
and
registration
packets
that
differ
based
on
the
size
of
the
property,
as
well
as
postcards
and
other
reminding
reminder
based
materials.
We
also
provide
multiple
workshops
to
assist
property
owners
in
registering
their
property.
Those
are
both
done,
live
and
in
person,
as
well
as
hybrid
and
online
landlords
and
mobile
home
park.
I
Owners
and
landlords
of
mobile
home
mobile
homes
are
required
to
pay
Associated
fees
and
register
their
units
by
February
1st
of
each
year,
staff
review
and
track
the
fee
payments
and
registration
on
a
case-by-case
basis.
This
is
extensive
work
and
then
we
provide
Outreach
to
property
owners
in
effort
to
Support
Compliance
if
the
property
remains
out
of
compliance
staff,
mail,
compliance,
letters
to
property
owners
and
eventually
to
tenants-
and
this
is
an
example
of
a
postcard
that
went
out
on
the
back-
there
was
also
the
information
provided
in
Mandarin
and
Spanish.
I
I
There
are
five
at
fault
reasons
and
four
no-fault
reasons
that
are
allowed
in
the
city
of
Mountain
View,
and
you
can
see
them
here,
I'm
not
going
to
read
them
all,
and
if
you
are
evicted
for
a
no-fault
eviction,
you
may
be
eligible
for
a
relocation,
assistance
and
first
right
of
return
for
mobile
home
owners.
As
I
mentioned
earlier,
the
mobile
home
residency
law
provides
eviction
protections
for
that
specific
group
of
people.
I
While
there
we
assist
with,
we
assist
tenants
and
landlords,
with
learning
about
rent
stabilization,
applying
for
affordable
housing
and
connecting
with
rental
assistance
programs,
we
help
them
review
eviction,
notices
and
the
eviction
process
to
help
landlords
and
tenants
understand
the
process
as
well
as
potential
outcomes.
We
connect
community
members
to
Legal
resources
and
assistance
on
site,
and
we
also
provide
information
on
other
support
services,
including
mediation,
Social,
Services,
affordable
housing,
unhoused
resources
and
more.
I
We
actually
have
multiple
Community
organizations
that
come
to
the
housing
and
eviction
help
center
and
provide
immediate
support,
and
this
is
the
fire
of
events
for
the
past
six
months.
On
the
first
Thursday
we
have
our
Community
Partners
and
on
the
second
Thursday,
we
have
a
workshop
and
you
can
see
some
of
our
attendees
and
staff
members
in
this
photo
here.
I
I
They
have
about
a
90
percent
efficacy
rate
when
people
decide
to
mediate
together,
it's
a
very
effective
program
and
it's
been
around
for
almost
50
years
and
then
the
final
area
that
we'll
focus
on
this
evening
is
Outreach,
so
program
staff
work
closely
with
other
community
community
organizations
to
increase
Community
awareness
and
understanding
of
the
tenant
Protections
in
Mountain
View,
and
we
have
three
objectives.
The
first
one
is
develop,
consistent
materials
that
clearly
communicate
tenant
protections
and
programs
and
services.
I
The
second
objective
is
to
increase
engagement,
to
better
inform
the
community,
and
the
third
objective
is
to
improve
program,
efficacy,
efficiency
and
compliance
to
increase
transparency
and
Foster
Trust.
We
go
over
this
Communications
plan
annually.
The
last
one
was
adopted
in
November
and
you're,
seeing
the
outcomes
of
that
here-
and
this
is
our
final
slide
of
this
staff
presentation
here-
are
some
of
the
events
that
we
attend
and
host
throughout
the
year,
so
wanted
to
end
it
on
a
little
high
light.
Positive
note.
This
concludes
staff
presentation
and
we
are
now
available
for
questions.
A
I
I
believe
it's
voluntary.
However,
we
provide
information
on
what
is
offered
for
tenant
relocation
assistance
when
a
tenant
buyout
occurs.
So
we
have
a
form,
that's
very
specific,
because
there
are
very
specific
rules
as
to
how
tenant
buyouts
are
supposed
to
be
implemented
by
the
property
owners,
and
there
are
very
specific
regulations
for
tenant
rights
within
that
regulation,
so
that
form
that
we
have
that
property
owners
are
required
to
give
to
tenants
does
provide
information
on
what
people
would
receive
if
they
were
being
relocated
through
the
tenant,
relocation,
assistance,
ordinance,
okay
and.
C
I
K
E
I'd
like
to
ask
a
question
about
notification:
around
banked
rent
increases
because
there
are
two
steps:
there's
one
of
the
landlord
not
taking
a
rent
increase
and
therefore
banking,
it
and
then
there's
the
other
step
further
down.
The
timeline
of
the
landlord
choosing
to
increase
their
rent,
I
believe
up
to
10
percent
is
allowed
by
taking
out
of
the
bank
the
additional
rent
increase.
I
E
I
F
E
K
And
sorry
to
interrupt,
but
I
want
to
qualify.
My
last
answer
in
that
BMR
units
are
subject
to
the
just
cause
provisions
of
the
csfra,
but
not
the
rent,
stabilization
Provisions,
so
I
had
previously
said
the
csfra
does
not
apply.
I
was
too
broad
of
a
statement.
The
just
cause
provisions
of
the
csfra
do
apply
to
BMR
units.
L
You
so
my
question
goes
to
the
staff
reviewing
and
tracking
the
fee
payments
and
registration
on
the
case-by-case
basis.
You
mentioned
that
it
is
quite
a
bit
of
the
undertaking
to
review
the
items.
Under
what
circumstances
do
you
go
through
and
review
the
items,
and
is
there
a
special
Cadence
or
is
there
any
triggers
that
you
look
for.
I
In
our
system,
we
have
to
review
each
property
to
ensure
that
they're
paid
and
to
ensure
that
they've
registered
right
now.
This
process
is
a
little
bit
Antiquated
we're
looking
at,
hopefully
being
able
to
do
the
payments
through
the
portal
with
the
next
fiscal
year
billing,
which
will
be
next
January
keeping
our
fingers
crossed
that
that
works
out,
because
that
will
make
staff
work
much
less
challenging
right
now,
it's
it's
quite
a
bit
of
work,
but
it's
also
very
successful.
We've
found
good
ways
to
do
it
and
we're
continuously
refining
them
as
we
go.
I
We
have
quite
a
few
elderly
property
owners
in
this
city,
and
so
supporting
them
through
the
process
is
very
important
and
we're
finding
new
and
different
methods
to
ensure
that
they're
able
to
access
the
systems
in
ways
that
they
can.
So
typically,
that
means
that
they're
coming
to
staff
or
they're
mailing
in
their
registration
forms
that
we've
sent
them
any
any
time
that
we
see
an
opportunity
to
reach
them
in
a
better
way.
A
A
I
Thank
you
chair
roses.
This
item
item
7.2,
is
an
overview
of
the
quarterly
report.
We're
going
to
go
into
it
a
little
bit
more
detailed
than
we
will
every
quarter
so
that
you
have
some
background
information.
Most
of
the
time
you
will
not
receive
a
memo
with
this
agenda
item.
It
will
just
be
a
visual
presentation
from
staff.
However,
we
wanted
to
give
you
a
little
bit
of
a
heads
up
before
we
move
in
also.
This
is
the
first
time
that
we're
presenting
this
as
a
quarterly
report.
I
A
little
bit
of
background
on
this
agenda
item
in
December
of
2017
staff
presented
a
draft
monthly
status
report,
summarizing
information
and
providing
details
on
key
data
points
related
to
market
trends
and
program
activities.
The
rental
housing
committee
provided
feedback
and
staff
updated
the
report
to
reflect
the
rhc's
direction.
I
I
At
the
November
2022
rhc
meeting
staff
presented
the
communications
plan
for
fiscal
year
2022-2023.
That
Communications
plan
suggested
updates
to
the
report
as
follows.
We
altered
the
report
from
a
monthly
period
reporting
period
to
quarterly
reporting
period
and
we
added
additional
data
points,
including
registration
and
fee
compliance,
data,
average,
Market,
rent
and
vacancy
rates
per
unit
for
fully
covered
units
based
on
unit
size,
annual
termination
data
for
csfra
covered
units
since
the
start
of
the
csfra
and
a
quarterly
look
back
at
the
current
year.
I
This
is
an
infographic
Rich
data-driven
report,
which
highlights
elements
of
our
programs,
provides
demographic
information
for
the
housing
and
eviction
helps
under
attendees
and
reviews
relevant
Market
data.
It's
organized
into
seven
sections:
community
outreach
and
education,
csfra
properties
and
compliance,
rent
adjustment,
petitions,
eviction,
prevention,
tenant,
relocation,
assistance,
property
sales
and
market
conditions.
I
It
compiles
data
from
co-star
databases,
which
is
an
outside
database
that
we
have
access
to,
and
this
is
the
data
gathered
from
this
database
is
in
as
regimented
and
consistent
Search
terms
as
possible
every
month
to
adhere
to
the
specifics
of
the
csfra.
This
is
not.
This
data
is
not
available
for
mhrso
covered
units.
I
We
also
utilize
extensive
internal
record-keeping
and
databases.
We
also
receive
data
from
Partnerships
with
our
external
consultants
and
vendors,
and
we
pull
data
from
the
rent,
stabilization
program
portal
and
registration
system,
which
will
be
able
to
use
more
thoroughly
as
more
properties
are
registered.
I
I
The
first
section
is
community
outreach
and
education,
as
we
mentioned
before,
and
this
is
why
we
ended
on
Outreach.
In
the
last
presentation,
we
do
a
lot
of
work
around
Outreach
and
education.
It
is
the
heart
of
the
program,
because
everything
that
we
do
is
focused
on
this
every
letter
that
goes
out
every
form
that
we
make
we're
constantly
trying
to
come
up
with
better
ways
to
communicate
the
complexities
of
these
laws
in
ways
that
both
landlords,
tenants
and
outside
community
members
can
understand.
I
So
you
see
here
a
breakdown
of
each
section
for
this
particular
section,
which
includes
information,
requests
and
inquiries,
community
outreach
and
education
and
information.
Here
you
see
the
overview
of
information
requests
and
inquiries.
So
far,
this
fiscal
year
we've
received
2
303
inquiries
from
the
public,
with
the
bulk
of
those
being
through
emails
and
phone
calls.
I
We've
also
had
20
percent
of
those
inquiries
be
Spanish
speaking
and
the
primary
topic
right
now
as
of
to
when
this
report
was
run,
is
property
registration.
So
you
can
really
see
our
Focus
there
to
ensure
we're
getting
information
out
to
people
so
that
they're
not
receiving
fines.
If
they're
not
aware
of
what's
going
on
and
then
you'll
see
here,
there's
also
the
other
topic
we're
working
on
breaking
that
topic
down.
We
will
revise
these
for
the
next
fiscal
year
to
include
affordable
housing
and
BMR
as
a
topic
area,
as
well
as
joint
petitions.
I
The
next
section
is
community
outreach
this.
So
far,
this
fiscal
year
we've
held
26
workshops
for
a
total
of
116
participants.
12
of
those
have
been
bilingual
and
they
are
most
of
the
time
held
virtually
and
in
person.
So
they're,
hybrid
and
they're
at
the
eviction
and
housing,
Help
Center
or
the
housing
eviction
help
center.
Excuse
me,
we
also
hold
workshops
off-site.
We
have
one
coming
up
at
the
senior
center.
At
the
end
of
April,
we've
held
two
on-site
at
two
different
mobile
home
parks.
The
third
one
is
coming
up
in
April
in
may.
I
Excuse
me
that
month
is
sneaking
up
on
me
and
we
also
have
held
a
few
other
ones
in
different
locations.
We've
held
39
office
hours.
These
happen
every
week
on
Tuesdays
from
10
to
noon.
We
have
bilingual
staff
here,
and
this
one
is
mostly
attended
by
property
owners
and
we've
attended
48
Outreach
events.
So
far
this
year,
we've
reached
almost
2
000
community
members.
Through
this
Outreach.
I
And
then
the
last
section
here
is
our
educational
efforts,
so
you
can
see
here.
We
we
maintain
42
website
pages.
We
have
eight
informational
documents
that
we
update
and
maintain
in
multiple
languages.
There
are
31
fillable
forms
that
your
staff
updates
and
creates,
and
we've
posted
32,
Mountain
View
voice
ads
related
to
a
variety
of
different
topics,
including
the
rubs
Community
meetings
that
we
held
the
registration
and
our
workshops,
as
well
as
the
housing
and
eviction
help
center
for
mailings.
You
can
see.
We've
really
upped
this
area
of
focus.
I
We
send
out
postcards
and
flyers
pretty
regularly
they're
very
effective,
and
we
do
a
newsletter
biannually
the
next
one's
going
to
come
out
toward
the
end
of
June.
That
goes
out
to
all
tenants.
We
also
provide
one
that
is
specific
for
all
Property
Owners,
as
well
as
one
that
is
specific
for
mobile
home
owners
and
one
that's
specific
for
a
mobile
home
park
owners
and
those
are
mailed
in
English,
but
also
available
in
English,
Spanish
and
Chinese,
and
then
we
send
out
those
targeted
mailings
that
I
mentioned.
I
So
a
lot
of
these
have
to
do
with
property,
registration
and
fees.
As
well
as
those
tenant
letter
packets
that
I
mentioned,
which
includes
for
compliance,
if
landlords
remain
out
of
compliance
with
the
law,
we
will
send
tenants
letters
that
their
property
owner
is
out
of
compliance,
and
then
we
also
send
regular
email
updates.
We
have
about
1100
subscribers
and
we've
sent
out
17
committee
updates,
28,
Workshop
updates
and
11
General
Community
updates.
I
I
For
our
you
can
see
here
how
many
fully
covered
properties.
We
have
the
number
of
units
that
represents
the
number
of
partially
covered
properties.
The
number
of
units
that
represents
I
think
we're
missing
a
couple
properties
on
this
unit.
Count
we'll
have
to
double
check
our
data.
Here
we
have
of
the
of
our
fully
covered
units.
As
of
this
report,
the
numbers
have
since
changed:
63
percent
of
our
properties
are
registered
and
87
percent
have
paid
their
fees.
I
So
again,
this
is
about
a
month
delayed
in
data
reporting
and
we
have
quite
a
few
more
properties
that
are
in
compliance.
Now.
This
second,
the
third
section,
is
focused
on
rent
adjustment
petitions.
You
can
see
here
petitions
received
over
time
for
each
fiscal
year
and
then
the
breakdown
of
the
current
fiscal
year.
So
so
far
this
year
we've
received
42
tenant
petitions,
the
bulk
of
which
are
related
to
unlawful
rent.
This
is
likely
due
to
the
concession
concessions
issue
that
was
decided
by
the
rhc
last
fall
and
we
are
ticking
through
our
petitions.
I
I
I
The
next
section
is
related
to
our
eviction
prevention
program.
This
is
data
from
our
housing
and
eviction
help
center
we've
held
18
clinics
at
the
Mountain
View
Public
Library
on
the
first
and
third
Thursday
of
the
month.
So
far,
we've
been
able
to
assist
214
community
members.
This
came
out
directly
of
the
need
that
community
members
had
to
apply
for
covid
rent
assistance
and
has
continued
as
an
important
and
valuable
resource
to
the
community.
I
I
The
next
section
for
eviction
prevention
focuses
on
required,
noticing
we've
received
284,
banked,
rent
increase
notices,
825
termination
notices,
zero
tenant
buyouts
and
zero
additional
occupant
notices,
and
you
can
see
here,
as
requested
by
the
rental
housing
committee,
the
no-fault
evictions
over
time
since
the
start
of
the
program,
as
well
as
the
at
fault
evictions
over
time
since
the
start
of
the
program
and
then
down
below.
We
specifically
show
the
failure
to
pay
rent
notices
over
time,
as
well
as
the
failure
to
pay
rent
notices
for
the
current
fiscal
year.
I
I
And
then
we
have
tenant
relocation
assistance,
as
section
five
you
can
see
here.
What's
happened
in
that
Arena
over
the
course
of
the
past
few
years,
starting
in
2018.
This
is
reported
on
calendar
year.
So
please
note
that
that's
how
we
receive
the
data
from
our
Community
organization
that
works
with
us,
and
there
was
a
state
law
that
went
into
effect
in
2020
called
SB
330
that
significantly
halted
any
kind
of
Redevelopment
which.
J
I
The
next
section
is
related
to
property
sales,
so
this
is
a
highlight
of
properties
sold
over
time
since
2011
2011,
yes-
and
you
can
see
that
we're
right
around
average
for
the
past
few
years
for
the
number
of
properties
sold,
but
the
number
of
units
remain
well
below
average.
So
again
in
Mountain
View,
we
have
a
bulk
of
properties
that
are
five
or
less
units.
So
what
you're
seeing
here
is
smaller
properties,
transacting,
not
larger
properties
and
as
of
March
31st.
Three
properties
were
for
sale
for
a
total
of
24
units.
I
I
The
first
section
is
average
Market
rent,
the
larger
graph
that
you
see
there
is
the
average
Market
rent
for
all
unit
types,
newly
built
partially
covered
all
units
in
yellow
and
fully
covered
units
in
green.
So
this
is
all
unit
sizes,
all
unit
types
that
you're
seeing
here
for
the
past
10
fiscal
years.
I
The
smaller
green
graph
is
specifically
highlighting
the
market
rent
fluctuations
for
fully
covered
units
and
that
dip
that
you
see
there
is
related
to
covid
and
then
the
last
graph
that
you
see
is
Market
rent
by
the
number
of
bedrooms
for
fully
covered
units.
We
cannot
go
above
three
bedrooms,
the
system's
not
reliable
above
that.
I
I
I
I
C
Yes,
so
I'm
trying
to
get
my
head
around
the
25
percent
vacancy
rate
on
the
new
units,
I
guess.
The
first
thing
is
how
new
is
the
new
unit
and
you
know,
do
you
find
that
is
that
unusual,
because
we
have
a
lot
of
construction
going
on
in
Mountain
View
right
now,
and
owners
want
to
like
sort
of
gradually
bring
their
units
on
the
market.
Or
can
you
offer
any
explanation
for
that?
High
number.
I
So
when
markets
come
online,
the
they
actually
get
into
the
system
even
before
apartments
are
available
for
rent,
so
that
data
point
is
not
I
would
say,
not
reliable
and
fluctuates
greatly
when
new
units
are
built
and
come
online,
we
do
have
units
come
online
quite
frequently
in
Mountain
View.
So
it
is
something
to
take
kind
of
with
a
grain
of
salt,
because,
basically,
typically
when
a
building
finally
does
become
occupied,
a
new
building
comes
online.
The
data
changes
again.
J
I
Is
what
is
being
asked
so
average
Market
rent
is
average
asking
rent
without
concessions?
Okay,
the
only
way
that
we
can
pull
what
is
actually
being
paid
is
through
our
portal,
our
own
rent,
stabilization
program
portal,
and
that
will
only
show
for
fully
covered
units
and
that
data
will
only
be
reliable
once
we
have
higher
compliance
within
the
system.
D
D
I
F
D
I
Right
from
the
beginning,
we
had
some.
We
had
different
processes
for
these
smaller
property
owners,
and
we
were
also
going
to
update
this
next
fiscal
year
as
well.
With
another
concept
for
these
smaller
Property
Owners.
We
actually
sent
out
the
registration
form
to
be
filled
out
by
hand
with
a
self,
a
self-addressed
self-stamped
envelope
for
them
to
return
them
back
to
us.
I
We
have
also
as
much
as
possible,
followed
up
in
any
way
that
we
can,
with
the
communication
and
contact
information
that
we
have
for
the
property
owners
of
smaller
properties.
So
if
we
have
a
phone
number,
we're
using
it,
if
we
have
an
email,
we're
using
it,
we're
trying
to
hunt
down
and
find
the
contact
information
for
those
property
owners.
I
Oh
yes,
so
we
have,
anyone
can
walk
into
our
office
at
any
time
from
nine
to
five
we're
located
at
298
Escuela
right
in
the
heart
of
all
of
the
bulk
of
the
apartments
in
the
city
and
have
an
open
door
policy
with
that.
Unless
we
happen
to
all
be
out
to
lunch
at
the
same
time,
which
very
rarely
happens,
we
almost
always
have
a
staff
member
who
speaks
Spanish
on
site
and
can
provide
assistance.
I
F
I
We're
working
on
refining
the
website
right
now,
one
of
those
pieces
of
information.
Why
that's
so
high
is
because
we
also
provide
websites
in
multiple
languages
so,
for
example,
our
mediation
program.
We
have
three
pages
that
we
maintain
one
in
English,
one
in
Spanish
and
one
in
Chinese.
We
also
for
the
housing
and
eviction
help
center,
maintain
one
in
English
one
in
Spanish,
one
in
Chinese.
So
that's
one
of
the
reasons
why
that
count
is
high.
We
are
trying
to
make
sure
that
we
can
reach
our
most
vulnerable
communities
as
efficiently
as
possible.
I
A
E
So,
as
you
cover
the
range
of
all
the
programs
you're
supporting
and
you
know
which
are
covering
the
csfra
and
the
mobile
home,
rent
stabilization
ordinance
and
probably
some
things
that
are
neither
of
those.
Can
you
give
us
just
a
sense
of
how
you
the
cost
of
your
of
running
your
staff
is
allocated.
C
I
just
had
one
follow-up
question
and
other
things
that
I've
done
with
the
city.
There
was
one
property
in
the
downtown
I'm
not
going
to
mention
which
one
where
I
mean
there
was
an
it
had
been
vacant
for
a
really
long
time,
and
you
know
when
we
made
some
inquiries
into
City
staff
about
it.
We
found
out
they
said.
C
Well,
you
know
that
person's
property
taxes
on
autopay
with
the
county,
and
we
have
no
other
way
of
contacting
them
to
you
know
to
talk
to
them
about
why
it's
been
so
many
years
that
they've
never
ran
their
place
out,
and
you
know
I
I
know
that
you're
trying
to
ramp
up
this.
This
whole
thing
about
registering
the
units.
But
to
me
it
seems,
like
you
know,
paying
the
annual
fee
should
be
what
my
old
college
professor
used
to
call
a
lead
pipe
cinch.
It
should.
I
I
I
A
H
Hi
good
evening,
so
I
just
wanted
to
say
thank
you,
City
staff
for
the
wonderful
work
that
you're
doing
I
look
forward
to
studying
the
report
presented
today
in
Greater
detail.
I
do
have
just
some
comments
or
questions.
I
noticed
you
mentioned
the
high
vacancy
rates.
Do
you
know
how
many
BMR
units
there
are?
Are
they
included
in
that
vacancy
rate
and
then
wondering
how
many
people
are
registered
in
the
BMR
program?
H
I
just
I
noticed
that
there
were
several
vacancies
and
I'm
just
wondering
why
there
would
be
vacancies
for
this
amazing
program.
Is
it
because
the
the
rents
are
still
high
and
unattainable
for
low-income
families,
and
is
there
anybody
looking
at
adjusting
the
qualifying
Ami
as
an
entry
point
for
BMR?
Thank
you.
I
yield
my
time.
I
So
the
city
of
Mountain
View
also
has
a
housing
division,
which
is
the
other
other
half
of
our
team
that
is
not
covered
by
the
rental
housing
Committee
in
the
Community
Development
Department,
the
housing
division,
oversees
BMR
and
affordable
housing
for
the
city
and
sets
the
the
program
for
those
units.
As
far
as
vacancy
rates
go,
those
are
included
in
the
co-star
data.
I
A
A
K
Please
thank
you
as
background
the
csfra
authorizes
the
rental
housing
committee
to
establish
rules
and
regulations
for
the
administration
and
enforcement
of
the
csfra.
In
addition,
the
csfra
authorizes
the
rental
housing
committee
to
perform
any
other
duties
necessary
to
administer
and
enforce
the
csfra.
K
So
the
First
Amendment
proposed
amendment
to
csfra
regulations.
Chapter
three
would
bring
into
conformance
the
rental
housing
committee's
code
of
conduct
with
this
recent
changes
that
were
made
by
the
city
council
to
their
code
of
conduct.
Previously
the
city
council
used
or
relied
on
Robert's
Rules
of
Order,
and
they
recently
changed
that
updated.
Their
code
of
conduct
refer
to
rosenberg's
Rules
of
Order
for
reference
and
or
guidance
in
the
process
or
procedure
for
conducting
rental
housing
committee
meetings.
K
K
However,
it
also
clarifies
that,
upon
request
by
a
rental,
housing,
Committee
Member,
a
decision
will
be
made
as
to
whether
to
agendize
that
item
for
the
next
meeting
or
a
later
date.
If
the
item
cannot
be
agendized
for
the
next
meeting,
if
it
requires
greater
lead
time
for
staff
to
prepare
or
there's
simply
not
enough
time
on
the
next
agenda,
then
the
request
to
agendaize.
J
E
K
A
Since
I
don't
see
any
more
raised,
hands,
I
now
invite
the
members
of
the
public
yeah,
okay,
members
of
the
public,
any
members
of
the
public
wishing
to
provide
virtual

on
this

Please
click
click
the
raise
hand

in
Zoom
or
press

J
Hello
committee
members
and
welcome
I
just
wanted
to
request
it's
not
precisely
on
this
point,
but
is
there
any
way
that
the
agenda
and
the
agenda
items
can
be
made
available
before
the
Thursday
preceding
the
Monday
meeting?
Because
often
as
you
can
see,
the
staff
reports
are
pretty
beefy
and
there
is
a
lot
to
cover
and
you
know
a
lot
of
times.
We
don't
get
those
until
Thursday
afternoon
for
a
Monday
meeting.
Thank
you.

The
annual
General
adjustment
of
rent
is
the
percentage
by
which
the
rent
for
existing
tenancies
in
covered
rental
units
may
be
increased
each
year.
It
can
be
increased
once
per
12
months
and
it
is
capped
with
a
price
floor
of
2
percent
and
a
ceiling
of
five
percent,
which
means
that
it
can
never
go
below
two
percent
and
can
never
go
above
five
percent
to
calculate
the
annual
General
adjustment
of
rent.
We
use
100
percent
of
the
Consumer
Price
Index
of
all
items
for
a
12-month
period
ending
in
March.
That
is
what
the
csfra
says.
I
I
I
I
Must
be
given
with
the
rent
increase
and
recommendation
from
staff
is
to
adopt
a
resolution
announcing
the
annual
General
adjustment
of
rent
under
the
Community
stabilization
and
fair
rent
Act
and
the
mobile
home
rent
stabilization
ordinance
for
2023-2024
of
5
to
be
read
in
title
only
further
reading
waived
and
that
concludes
staff
presentation.
Are
there
any
questions
from
the
committee.
I
E
D
A
B
L
Thank
you
so,
just
in
looking
at
the
percentage,
I
know
that
we
are
kept
between
two
and
five
percent.
I
would
just
like
to
bring
to
the
committee's
attention
that,
given
the
current
numbers
that
we
have
that
we
have
quite
a
majority
of
households
that
earn
a
gross
income
under
35
000
that
five
percent
may
be
a
little
high
for
some
units.
Families
within
units,
particularly
senior
citizens,
so
I
would
be
curious
to
know
if
there's
any
way
to
consider
something
just
under
five
percent.

Chapter
3
describes
the
roles
and
responsibility
of
the
chair
and
the
vice
chair
in
more
detail,
and
it
says
that
the
chair
presides
at
all
of
the
rental
housing
committee
meetings,
signs
written
resolutions
of
the
rental
housing
committee
and
meets
with
staff
to
set
the
agenda
for
the
meetings
in
the
event
of
and
during
the
absence
or
disability
of
the
chair.
The
vice
chairperson
shall
perform
all
duties
of
the
chair
and
preside
as
chair
for
the
rental
housing
committee
meetings.
B
So
for
some
background,
the
chair
and
vice
chair
are
elected
on
an
annual
basis
in
April
of
each
year.
The
term
for
chair
and
vice
chair,
run
for
May
of
each
year
until
the
end
of
April
for
the
following
year
in
January,
2023
Committee,
Member
Allman
was
elected
as
chairperson
and
Committee
Member
Rosas,
as
Vice
chairperson,
until
May
2023,
due
to
the
untimely
vacancies
of
those
positions.
B
E
A
Can
I
see
no
more
questions
or
comments
from
the
committee
members
I
invite
public
comment
seeing
no
persons
in
the
public
any
members
of
the
public?
Virtually

on

Please
click
the

B
Right
so
like
to
start
by
looking
at
the
housing
and
eviction
help
center.
Patricia
did
talk
about
this
in
some
depth
today
already,
but
generally,
it's
for
the
community
to
learn
about
various
housing
programs
in
Mountain
View.
Again,
some
of
our
biggest
topics
are
people
receiving
rent
assistance,
assistance
with
applying
for
affordable
housing
and
connecting
with
other
local
agencies
in
the
city.
B
So
a
lot
of
times
people
will
come
with
with
needing
help
with
food
distribution
or
maybe
first
or
last
month's
deposit
for
getting
a
new
house,
mediation
services
and
other
homelessness
prevention
type
services.
So
we
get
people
connected
with
those
resources
as
well.
The
housing
eviction
help
center
is
the
first
and
third
Thursday
in
the
Mountain
View
Public
Library,
we're
on
the
second
floor
program,
room
and
we're
there
from
one
to
five.
If
people
are
not
able
to
make
it
in
person,
they
can
join
virtually
on
Zoom
at
mountainview.gov
eviction
help
clinics.
F
B
This
is
this
Thursday
coming
up
at
one
o'clock
and
of
course
we
are
targeting
our
senior
community,
but
it
is
open
to
the
public
and
anyone
can
join
and
then
next
month
on,
May
18th
at
4
pm
at
the
housing
and
eviction
help
center,
we're
reserving
the
last
hour
from
four
to
five
to
talk
about
tenant
protections
and
eviction.
So
this
one
will
be
focused
on
tenants
and
then
the
following
month,
we'll
have
one
Focus
towards
our
landlords.
This
will
be
hybrid
and
bilingual,
so
you
can
join
in
person
or
on
Zoom
again.
B
The
link
is
there
on
the
screen,
mountainview.gov
rrsp
webinars,
then
also.
We
just
finally
would
like
to
finish
up
highlighting
some
of
the
Outreach
that
our
team's
Outreach
specialist
does
who
is
fluent
in
English
and
Spanish,
so
she
joins
Castro
on
the
Strauss
for
food
distribution
or
diaper
distribution.
B
There's
a
couple
days
here,
the
next
one
is
Wednesday,
this
Wednesday
from
two
to
four
and
then
the
next
day
on
Thursdays
she'll
be
at
CSA
from
11
30
to
1
30.,
and
then
we
are
also
attending
the
next
day.
An
Outreach
event
at
the
elementary
school
called
Dia
del
nino.
So
there
should
be
a
lot
of
families
there
we're
going
to
have
an
activity
at
our
table
where
people
can
make
some
fun
buttons,
and
then
the
parents
can
get
information
about
our
program,
so
that's
from
3
to
6,
30.
B
I
And
I'd
also
like
to
add
that
on
Saturday
June
10th,
we
will
be
hosting
our
annual
summer
kickoff
event
with
Chuck
in
ringsdorf
Park
from
10
to
1..
It
should
be
quite
fun
just
like
last
year,
we're
going
to
have
a
whole
bunch
of
community
organizations.
There
each
table
will
have
activities
for
kids.
We
will
have
community
members
providing
shaved
ice
and
potentially
tacos.
We
will
see
and
then
it's
a
great
event.
The
library
has
come
out
in
the
past
for
story
time.
I
D
B
Especially
during
covid,
we
spend
a
lot
of
time
cultivating
relationships
with
all
of
the
different
organizations
in
Mountain
View,
very
much
in
a
two-way
street
sort
of
relationship.
So
we
communicate
with
them
whenever
we're
having
an
event
and
invite
them
to
come
to
us,
and
then
we
definitely
go
to
any
Outreach
events
that
they're
having
so
we
we
talk
like
to
a
CSA
every
other
week.
B
C
Yeah
I
just
want
to
recognize
Deborah
Vazquez
from
Sunshine
Garden
Apartments,
it's
apartment
building
in
my
neighborhood,
it's
a
csfra
controlled
unit
and
they
hosted
an
Earth
Day
on
this
Saturday
from
three
to
five
o'clock
and
I
found
it
an
amazing
event.
I
mean
she
showed
us
how
they
were
able
to
reduce
their
energy
usage
by
89
percent,
and
you
know
this
is
by
a
combination
of
things
like
you
know,
installing
new
windows,
all
through
the
complex
solar
heating,
variable
pumps
in
the
pool
better.
C
Recycling
practices
and
it's
just
an
amazing
opportunity
how
you
know
I
remember
when
they
said
that
they
passed
the
csfra.
You
know
one
of
the
things
was:
is
that
well
now,
you'll
never
see
anybody
invest
in
a
rent
control.
Department
again-
and
this
is
a
clear
indication
where
you
know
I
mean
the
the
landlords
and
the
tenants
both
benefited
from
an
opportunity
to
have
better
places.
J
A
Thank
you
so
much
great,
so
I
do
have
a
comment.
So
can
I
not
yeah?
Okay,
so
I
recognize
myself
that
I
don't
know
if
that's
appropriate
or
not,
but
there
we
go
so
I
want
to
thank
everybody,
especially
our
staff
that
have
done
a
wonderful
job.
They
definitely
did
a
good
job
with
me.
Practicing
I
made
it
failed
on
them.
I'm.
Sorry,
it's
not
your
fault.
It's
mine
I
want
to
thank
all
the
committee
members
for
being
patient
with
me
today.
