E
Five
of
our
rental
housing
committee
members
are
leaving
the
committee
two
left
earlier
this
year
and
for
the
three
members
tonight
is
the
it
is
the
last
rhc
meeting
being
a
part
of
this
committee
requires
time
effort
and
Leadership.
We
would
like
to
thank
Matt
Emily,
Julian,
Nicole
and
Susan
for
their
hard
work,
dedication
and
positive
contributions
to
our
community,
these
members,
three
of
which
have
been
involved
with
the
committee
since
the
start
of
implementation
of
sisra
in
April
of
2017,
have
accomplished
an
impressive
amount.
E
Together
we
have
established
the
framework
for
two
rent
stabilization
laws
sisra
and,
more
recently,
the
mobile
home
rent
stabilization
ordinance.
This
resulted
in
the
creation
and
Adoption
of
a
total
of
12
chapters
of
rules
and
regulations
for
the
administration
and
enforcement
of
the
sisra
and
mhrso.
The
rules
and
regulations
provide
the
policy
direction
for
staff
on
how
to
implement
the
laws.
E
The
laws
recently,
these
committee
members
developed
regulations
regarding
compliance
and
enforcement
of
those
laws.
This
is
highly
Technical
and
challenging
work.
That
requires
deep
scrutiny
of
policy
options.
Staff
would
like
to
recognize
and
celebrate
the
outgoing
committee
members,
dedication,
commitment
and
wealth
of
achievement.
E
E
Oh
and
there
we
are
there's
our
picture.
That
was
a
long
time
ago,
foreign
we
have
certificates
for
each
of
the
outgoing
members
and
first
I'd
like
to
give
one
to
Matt.
Gruenwald,
Matt
and
I
have
served
together
for
the
last
four
years,
sometimes
on
opposite
sides
of
issues,
but
I
think
we
always
were
cordial
and
we
always
respected
one
another
and
I'm
really
pleased
to
have
served
with
you.
Thank
you
so
much
Matt.
D
D
Oh
yeah
I'll
say
yes,
just
want
to
Echo
what
you
said:
I
mean
I,
think
throughout
the
rental
housing
committee,
We've
we've
worked
together
and
you
know
I
think
found
a
lot
of
compromise.
I
didn't
realize
we'd
written
12
chapters.
You
know
over
over
that
period
of
time
yeah.
There
was
a
lot
of
big,
thorny
issues
that
that
I
think
we
figured
out,
and
for
me
personally,
this
is
my
first
committee
appointment
and
you
know
first
time,
serbiana
committee
I
learned
a
lot
about.
D
D
A
A
E
E
E
Thank
you
so
much,
it's
been
quite
a
long
journey
and
I
I
learned
a
lot,
because
my
learning
curve
was
huge,
coming
in
as
an
activist
and
learning
to
deal
with
the
hearing
process
and
as
well
as
the
pandemic,
but
also
the
the
push
and
pull
of
different
community
members.
It's
it's
been
a
great
growth
experience.
Thank
you.
A
E
So
since
there
are
no
more
comments
or
questions,
I
now
invite
public
comment
in
person,
public
will
be
called
to
speak
first,
any
of
the
public
wishing
to
provide
virtual
comment
on
this
item.
Please
click
raise
hand,
button
and
zoom
or
press
star.
Nine
on
your
phone
staff
will
display
a
countdown
timer
on
the
screen.
I
Hey
friends,
sorry
I
can't
be
there
in
person.
I
am
sick
and
I
didn't
want
to
infect
any
of
you,
lovely
people
but
Susan
I'm,
sad
that
we
can't
work
on
the
same
body.
Matt
I,
I,
also
I
also
would
have
enjoyed
working
with
you,
I
mean
it's
been
fun.
I
feel
like
we
have
actually
kind
of
worked
together
over
the
last
few
years
in
our
own
way,
I'm
excited
to
take
your
spot
as
the
ultimate
I
think
it's
gonna
be
fun,
hopefully,
you'll
come
and
give
comment
to
me.
I
I
G
Hello,
so
I
would
also
like
to
thank
the
outgoing
members
and
I
like
Alex,
feel
I've
gotten
to
know
you.
It's
a
strange
way
to
get
to
know
you
with
a
formal
meeting
being
the
venue
for
that
and
I
appreciate
the
work
that
the
current
rhc
has
gotten
done,
and
so
thank
you
to
Matt
and
thank
you
to
Susan
and
thank
you
to
Guadalupe
for
staying
on
good
night.
E
We'll
move
on
to
the
consent
calendar.
These
items
will
be
approved
by
one
motion
unless
any
member
of
the
committee
wishes
to
remove
an
item
for
discussion.
The
purpose
of
the
consent
calendar
is
for
the
committee
to
efficiently
and
quickly
consider
routine
or
administrative
business
items
with
one
motion.
Although
committee
members
May
remove
items,
it
is
generally
not
intended
for
the
committee
to
have
a
lengthy
substantive
discussion
on
consent.
Calendar
items
public
comment
will
occur
after
the
discussion.
E
E
So
any
member
of
the
public
wishing
to
provide
a
virtual

on
this
item.
Please
click
the
raised
hand,
item
and
zoom
or
press
star
9
on
your
phone
staff
will
display
a
countdown
timer
on
the

I
guess
we
have
to
move
on
from
that
now
bring
the
item
back
for
Committee
Action
a
motion
to
approve
the
consent.
Calendar

include

of
the
agenda

4.1.
E
D
D
H
E
E
We
will
now
open
the
meeting
for
oral
communication
from
the
public.
This

of
the

is
reserved

on

F
Mean
you
can
hear
me
now.
We
can
hear
you,
okay,
I'm,
sorry
to
be
a
a
downer
for
this
meeting,
but
I've
learned
that,
unfortunately,
since
my
apartment
landlord
knew
six
months
prior
to
buying
the
property
that
the
apartment
was
actually
non-compliance
with
the
land
Zone
that
he
actually
was
operating
in
a
legal
apartment
and
I've
notified
the
city
council
and
the
rhc
last
month
about
it
and
in
the
meantime,
I've
actually
gone
on
a
rent
strike
and
I
have
not
been
paying.
E
Okay
and
there
we're
we
have
no
appeal
hearing
and
no
public
hearing,
so
we'll
move
on
to
new
business,
quarterly
Financial
expenditures
fiscal
year,
2022
to
2023
through
December,
31st
2022.,
we'll
begin
with
a
presentation
from
staff.
Public
comment
will
occur
after
the
presentation
item.
If
you
would
like
to
speak
on
this
item
in
person,
please
submit
a
speaker
card
to
City
staff.
Now.
C
C
As
a
reminder,
the
rental
housing
committee
adopted
the
mobile
home
rent
stabilization
Budget
on
April
25
2022
for
a
total
of
641
and
825
dollars
and
on
June.
The
20th
in
onto
2020
to
the
rental
housing
committee
also
adopted
a
budget
for
the
csfra
for
two
million
three
hundred
and
forty
nine
thousand
and
nine
hundred
and
one
dollars.
C
First,
we're
looking
at
the
csfra
budget
and
per
December
31st
40.2
was
expanded.
This
is
below
budget
due
to
salary
savings
due
to
the
vacancy
of
an
Outreach
specialist
that
we
are
currently
filling
with
an
hourly
employee
who
can
only
work
certain
hours
per
year
and
for
work
performed
for
and
charged
at
other
cost
centers
for
work
performed
under
the
tenant,
relocation,
assistance,
ordinance
and
various
other
requested
Services
outside
of
the
csfra
programs
such
as
BMR
and
affordable
housing
inquiries.
C
The
second
category
is
non-personal,
Services
per
end
of
December
38.91
was
expended
and
a
further
53.3
percent
encumbered.
This
is
also
below
budget.
Due
to
certain
service
providers.
Billing
laid
answered
a
quarter
to
invoices
might
be
charged
in
the
third
or
fourth
quarter
of
this
fiscal
year.
Also
fewer
than
anticipated
number
of
petitions
are
being
filed,
resulting
in
less
costs
for
hearing
officers
and
facilitator
fees.
C
The
third
key
category
is
capital
outlay
to
date,
4.48
is
expended
and
a
further
16.33
is
encumbered.
This
is
mainly
for
further
costs
with
regards
to
our
database
development,
and
this
is
below
budget
due
to
waiting
for
further
deliverables
upon
completion
of
the
next
phases
of
the
database
management
system,
hopefully
to
be
finalized
in
following
quarters.
C
So
the
last
category
is
the
interference
expenditures
and
transfers.
As
previously
indicated,
the
interfund
expenditures
and
transfer
budget
usually
is
getting
charged
by
the
end
of
December.
So
a
hundred
percent
of
this
is
currently
expanded.
These
are
the
cities,
the
city
charges
for
services
delivered
by
the
city
to
the
csfra.
C
C
C
Currently,
43.46
is
expended
also
below
budget
due
to
work
performed
for
and
charge
to
other
cost
centers
outside
of
the
mhrso
program,
such
as
assistance
with
the
csfra
as
well
as
BMR
in
affordable
housing
inquiries
for
non-personnel
services.
A
12.54
is
expended
and
a
third
of
50.61
encumbered
again
for
service
providers
billing
on
a
later
in
a
later
quarter,
then
the
services
that
have
been
provided
and
fewer
than
anticipated
petitions
have
been
filed,
resulted
in
less
than
budgeted
hearing
officer
and
facilitator
fees.
C
C
Looking
at
the
whole
mhrso
budget,
53
of
interference,
charges
have
been
posted,
and
this
number
is
so
large,
and
this
budget
looks
a
little
bit
different
than
in
coming
years,
because
we
are
paying
back
the
funds
that
were
Advanced
by
the
city
to
us.
In
the
last
fiscal
year
we
spend
31
on
Personnel
14
14
on
personnel,
and
the
budget
remaining
is
31
percent.
C
So
the
fiscal
year
budgets
and
the
revenues
are
estimated
to
to
be
sufficient
to
fund
all
the
expenditures
for
the
rest
of
this
fiscal
year.
We
will
be
returning
to
the
rental
housing
committee
on
a
quarterly
basis
for
an
update
on
incurred
expenses
compared
to
the
budget
for
this
current
fiscal
year.
E
C
E
E
C
E
E
Since
there
are
no
more
questions,
I
now
invite
public
comment
in
in-person.
Public
comments
will
be
and
called
it
to
speak.
First,
any
member
of
the
public
wishing
to
provide
virtual
comment
on
this
item.
Please
click
the
raise
hand
button
in
Zoom
or
press
star.
Nine
on
your
phone
staff
will
display
a
countdown
timer
on
the
screen.
E
H
Thank
you.
I
will
still
we'll
start
with
agenda
item
9.1,
which
is
upcoming
workshops
and
Outreach
events.
So
we
like
to
start
off
here
by
talking
about
the
housing
and
eviction
help
center.
That
is
continuing
on
where
both
landlords
and
tenants
and
mobile
home
park
owners
can
all
come
to
learn
about
housing
programs
specifically
around
stabilization
programs,
but
we
also
help
with
affordable
housing
programs
and
connect
people
with
rent
assistance
and
and
for
some
people
we're
still
checking
on
their
rent
relief
applications
for
covid-19,
but
not
as
many
of
those
these
days.
H
We
also
have
connections
with
other
Support
Services
like
food
distribution,
other
types
of
financial
assistance,
our
mediation
program,
other
homelessness
prevention
services
and
much
more,
for
example,
on
our
last
housing
and
eviction
help
center.
We
had
a
free
phone
provider
coming
where
people
could
sign
up
and
have
access
to
free
phone
plans
and
the
phones
have
internet
access
and
they
are
smartphones,
so
that
was
very
nice
and
they
will
be
back
next
housing.
Innovation
help
center
as
well.
These
are
held
every
first
and
third
Thursday
in
the
Mountain
View
Public
Library.
H
H
So
you
can
make
an
appointment
there
or
just
join
us
they're,
basically
virtual
walk-in,
and
ask
us
any
type
of
rent
stabilization
question:
our
upcoming
workshops.
We
are
starting
our
rounds
of
our
mobile
home,
rent
stabilization
ordinance
workshops,
so
the
first
one
will
be
this
Thursday
March
30th.
It
starts
at
6,
30
p.m,
and
we
will
be
visiting
each
Park,
so
this
Thursday
will
be
at
Sahara,
Mobile,
Village
and
then
you'll
see
right
underneath
that
on
April
13th
we'll
be
at
Santiago
Villa
and
then
just
to
wrap
up
April
on
April
20th.
H
We
are
having
a
health
and
safe
housing
Workshop
as
part
of
our
housing
and
eviction
help
center
and
that
one
will
be
hybrid.
It
will
be
at
the
housing
eviction,
help
center
at
the
library
and
also
on
Zoom,
and
you
can
sign
up
there,
mountainview.gov
RSP,
webinars
and
then
just
for
some
Outreach
information.
H
Our
team
will
be
at
CSA
on
April
3rd
from
one
to
four.
So,
while
they're
doing
food
distribution,
we
pass
out
information
to
the
community
about
our
program
as
well
as
April
19th
from
two
to
four
at
Castro
mystra
Elementary,
and
then
we
have
a
fun
event
coming
up:
April
28th
from
3
to
6
30,
which
is
a
Friday
and
it's
called
dia
del
nino,
and
so
that
will
be
a
nice
event
at
the
elementary
school
and
that's
at
Gabrielle
Mistral.
