Description
Live teleconference meeting of the Mountain View Rental Housing Committee Meeting scheduled for Monday, November 15, 2021.
Live Video Conference: YouTube, mountainview.legistar.com, and Comcast Channel 26.
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
I
will
now
bring
the
item
back
for
committee
action.
A
motion
to
approve
the
consent
calendar
should
include
reading
the
titles
of
the
agenda
items
or
the
resolutions
attached
to
agenda
items
3.1
and
3.2.
If
items
are
pulled,
the
committee
will
note
that
agenda
items
were
pulled,
so
we
are
now
open
to
a
motion
to
approve.
Do
we
need?
Can
we
do
them
together
or
do
we
need
separate
items.
B
D
E
C
C
A
You
we
will
now
open
the
meeting
for
oral
communication
from
the
public.
This
portion
of
the
meeting
is
reserved
for
for
persons
wishing
to
address
the
committee
on
any
matter,
not
on
the
agenda.
Speakers
are
allowed
to
speak
on
any
topic
for
up
to
three
minutes
during
this
section.
State
law
prohibits
the
committee
from
acting
on
non-agenda
items.
Would
any
member
of
the
public
on
the
line
like
to
provide
comment
on
non-agenda
items?
A
G
So
the
purpose
of
this
item
is
to
review
and
adopt
the
following
regulations
for
the
implementation
of
the
mobile
home
rent
stabilization
ordinance.
It's
chapter
four
relates
to
registration
chapter
five,
which
is
relates
to
the
petition
process.
Chapter
6,
which
leads
to
the
hearing
process
in
chapter
11,
which
is
the
notice
of
mobile
home,
rent
stabilization
ordinance
and
rent
rollbacks
move
on
to
the
next.
G
G
The
goal
of
the
ordinance
is
to
stabilize
rents
for
mobile
homeowners
and
mobile
home
tenants,
while
providing
park,
owners
and
landlords
with
a
fair
rate
of
return
and
as
with
the
csfra,
the
mobile
home
rent
stabilization
ordinance
generally
authorizes
the
rental
housing
committee
to
implement
and
administer
its
provisions
so
starting
off
with
chapter
four,
which
relates
to
registration.
This
should
be,
you
know,
fairly
fresh
in
your
minds
as
the
the
committee
adopted
regulations
for
the
cfra
last
year,
creating
mandatory
registration
requirements
and
a
registration
database.
G
You
know
that
has
been
largely
successful
and
has
helped
staff
to
more
accurately
and
efficiently
administer
the
various
provisions
of
the
csfra
and
given
the
utility
of
the
registration
regulations
and
the
database
staff
is
recommending
that
the
committee
adopt
similar
requirements
for
implementation
of
the
mobile
home.
Rent
stabilization
ordinance.
G
G
G
Additionally,
we'll
talk
about
this
notice
of
mobile
home
rent
stabilization
ordinance
in
chapter
11,
but
it's
essentially
a
notice
to
the
mobile
home
owners
and
tenants
about
whether
their
unit
is
covered
or
exempt,
and
whether
or
not
they're
entitled
to
a
rent,
rollback
and
then
banked.
Aga
increased
notices
as
well
as
termination
of
tenancy
notices
under
the
just
cause
provisions
which
have
to
be
filed.
The
mobile
home
rent
stabilization
over
the
ordinance
provides
that
those
termination
of
tenancy
notices
must
be
filed
with
the
committee
or
staff.
G
By
february
1st
of
each
year,
that
is
aligned
with
what
is
required
for
landlords
under
the
csfra
additionally,
as
upon
expiration
of
an
exemption
from
the
mobile
home
rent
stabilization
ordinance,
some
of
the
exemptions
in
the
ordinance
are
time
limited
and
so
upon
their
expiration.
We
you'll
want
to
have
landlords
register
those
those
units
as
they'll
come
under
the
provisions
of
the
ordinance
and
then
upon
a
change
in
tenancy
of
the
mobile
home
space
or
mobile
home
and
upon
change
and
ownership
or
management
of
the
mobile
home
or
mobile
home
park.
G
So
there
are
these.
I
think,
you've
gone
through
these
previously
in
a
in
the
review
of
the
ordinance,
but
the
grounds
for
individual
rent
adjustment
petitions
are
the
same
as
in
the
csfra,
so
fair
rate
of
return
petitions,
including
capital
improvements
and
then
for
downward
adjustment.
Failure
to
maintain
habitable
premises,
decrease
in
housing
services
or
communal
facilities.
The
communal
facilities
piece
is
slightly
different
than
what's
in
the
csfra
and
then
unlawful
rent,
including
the
failure
to
provide
a
rent
rollback
next
slide.
G
So
really
substantively.
The
petition
process
is
almost
exactly
the
same
as
in
the
csfra
next,
so
the
hearing
process,
you
know
again
under
the
previous
section,
the
committee
has
the
power
to
hear
petitions
and
also
to
appoint
hearing
officers,
to
conduct
hearing
up
hearings
on
those
petitions
for
individual
rent
adjustment
and
we're
adopting
the
or
we're
recommending
that
you
adopt
the
petition
and
hearing
procedures,
regulations
because
they're
sort
of
interrelated
and
necessary
to
begin
accepting
and
conducting
hearings.
G
As
with
the
petition
process
regulations,
these
regulations
largely
mirror
chapter
five
of
the
csfra
regulations,
the
one
I
would
say
substantive
addition
is
related
to
the
acceptance
of
untimely
appeals.
This
is
actually
the
issue
that
came
up
at
the
last
meeting,
and
so
we've
updated
this
in
the
mobile
home,
rent
stabilization
ordinance
regulations,
the
process
for
the
acceptance
of
untimely
appeals,
and
hopefully
it
can
also
be
updated
in
the
csfr
regulations
and
upcoming
meeting,
and
then
this
last
chapter
chapter
11,
the
notice
of
the
mobile
home,
run
stabilization,
ordinance
and
and
rent
rollbacks.
G
So,
as
mentioned
before,
the
ordinance
exempts
certain
mobile
home
spaces
from
its
provisions
and
mobile
homes,
and
so
chapter
11
creates
a
notice
of
mobile
home
rent
stabilization
ordinance,
which
park
owners
and
landlords
must
provide
to
homeowners
and
tenants
to
inform
them
of
three
different
things.
The
first
is
the
existence
of
this
new
ordinance.
G
So
this
notice
must
be
provided
on
the
following
occasions,
so
for
any
tenancy
that
is
already
in
existence
right
now.
The
notice
must
be
provided
on
or
before
january,
1st
of
2022
for
any
tenancy
that
started
after
october
28th.
The
notice
should
be
provided
on
or
before
the
date
of
commencement
of
the
tenancy.
So
ideally
with
the
lead,
the
signing
of
the
lease
the
person
would
also
get
this
notice
and
then,
lastly,
within
15
days
after
an
exemption
expires
and
the
tendency
becomes
governed
by
the
ordinance.
G
What
that
means
is
that,
in
a
regular
petition,
the
burden
of
proof
is
going
to
be
on
the
tenant
to
demonstrate
why
they
are
entitled
to
a
downward
adjustment.
In
this
case
by
creating
a
rebuttable
presumption
where
a
landlord
or
a
park
owner
has
failed
to
file
this
notice.
The
burden
of
proof
shifts
to
the.
G
So
staff's
recommendation
tonight
is
that
the
committee
review
and
adopt
the
registration
regulations
for
mobile
home
park
owners
and
mobile
home
landlords
under
the
ordinance
review
and
adopt
petition
process
regulations
for
individual
rent
adjustment.
Petitions
under
the
ordinance
review
and
adopt
hearing
process
regulations,
including
hearing
officer
qualifications,
hearing
procedures
and
appeal
procedures
under
the
ordinance
and
review
and
adopt
notice
of
mobile
home
rent
stabilization
ordinance
and
rent
rollback
regulations,
including
regulations
related
to
the
requirement
to
provide
the
notice
of
the
ordinance
at
the
initiation
of
a
mobile
home
space
or
mobile
home
tenancy.
A
D
G
Yeah,
so
chapter
11
provides
two
different
sort
of
processes.
The
first
is:
if
a
if
a
tenant
makes
a
written
demand
upon
the
landlord
for
the
rent
rollback,
then
they
need
to
provide
that
within
10
calendar
days
and
if,
if
it's
not
provided
in
that
time,
then
the
tenant
can
go
ahead
and
file
a
petition
for
the
downward
adjustment
based
on
unlawful
rent.
G
G
G
H
E
So
the
the
form-
as
I
understand
it,
it
triggers
basically
the
noticing
that
is
due
in
january,
one
to
be
provided
within
10
days
of
receipt
correct,
so
they
would
get
a
full
anyone
who
filed
the
form
would
get
a
full
play-by-play.
Accounting
of
this
is
how
much
you
were
paying.
This
is
how
much
you
should
have
been
paying.
This
is
how
much
your
rebate
will
be.
Your
rebate
will
be
delivered
on
such
and
so
day.
Is
that
accurate.
G
G
I
think
all
that,
if,
if
a
tenant
requests
and
a
rollback
sooner,
then
I
think
that's
really
all
that
the
landlord
would
need
to
address
in
their
response
is
the
the
rollback
and
the
and
how
they're
gonna
make
payment
if
and
they
should
provide
the
payment
within
the
ten
ten
days.
I
think
that's
how
the
regulation
is
written.
G
Is
that
they're
going
to
provide
you
know
and
if
they
think
that
if
they
think
that,
for
some
reason
the
tenant
is
wrong
and
the
tenant's
not
entitled
to
a
rent
rollback,
they
could
respond
in
that
manner
as
well
and
say.
Actually
I
don't
think
that
you're
entitled
to
this,
at
which
point
it
would
be
up
to
the
tenant
if
they
wanted
to
file
a
petition
to
contest
that
okay,
thank.
E
A
I
H
H
Well,
yes,
so
we've
sent
out
one
postcard,
referring
people
to
our
webpage,
where
they
can
find
the
detailed
information
about
the
whole
ordinance,
and
our
next
step
is
to
send
out
a
courtesy
letter
to
everyone
and
not
just
explaining
this
template
being
available,
but
also
the
faqs
and
other
forms
that
might
be
available
by
the
time.
We're
sending
out
the
letter.
Great.
A
I
B
A
This
is
going
way
faster
than
I
thought
it
would
great.
So
since
there
are
no
more
questions,
I
now
invite
public
comments.
Would
any
member
of
the
public
on
the
line
like
to
provide
comments
on
this
item?
If
so,
please
click
the
raise
hand,
button
and
zoom
or
press
star
9
on
your
phone
staff.
Will
dis
display
a
countdown
timer
on
the
screen.
J
A
A
D
So
I'm
totally
super
inclined
to
just
vote
one
motion
for
all
of
it.
However,
I
signed
nicole's
hint
or
vice
checking
lipstick's
hand
shoot
up.
So
I
don't
know
if
she
wants
to
look
at
things
individually,
so
I
will
defer
to
invite
the
vice
chair
on
that.
I
also
see
committee
member
grunwald
also
has
his
hand
up
as
well.
E
So
I
think
we
have
to
acknowledge.
There
were
based
on
the
resolutions
that
I
read
through.
There
were
some
minor
drafting
errors,
which
is
normal
when
one
drafts
that
probably
preclude
us
from
being
able
to
do
this
all
as
one
motion,
because
there
are
things
that
we
need
to
correct
and
I
think
it's
going
to
get
excessively
unweldy
to
do
some
of
those
corrections
while
trying
to
make
a
motion
to
pass
for.
Is
it
four
or
five
or
chapters
so
that
would
be.
My
thought
is.
I
think
we
need
to
go
chapter
by
chapter.
K
Sure
thank
you.
I
was
wondering
if
we
would
get
any
comment
from
park
owners,
but
the
the
most
recent
conversation
just
about
the
timeline
for
the
rent
rollback.
You
know
I
was
just
wondering
so
maybe
this
is
a
question
for
legal
once
this
is
passed
tonight.
Assuming
that
that
it
passes
then,
would
that
be
the
first
day
that
space
renters
could
submit
the
form
for
the
10-day
creating
a
10-day
window
for
where
they
would
need
to
get
that
that
check
for
the
red
ball
back.
G
Yes,
although
I
don't
know
if
people
might
have
already
submitted
those
forms
considering
they
were
distributed
to
the
mobile
home
alliance
and
where-
and
it
was
posted
to
the
website,
so
it's
very
possible
that
people
have
already
submitted
those
forms,
in
which
case
it
would
just
be
ten
days
from
the
date
on
which
they
submitted.
It.
F
K
K
It
might
slow
down
the
batch
process.
You
know
if
the
park
owners
are
trying
to
do
it
all
at
once,
I'm
not
as
tied
into
the
community.
So
maybe
that's
a
question
for
the
group
on
on
whether
we
think
it's
going
to
make
things
more
confusing
for
property
owners
for
park
owners
who
might
be
working
on
a
batch
solution.
E
E
If
it
is
due
and
it
is
appropriate,
you
generally
don't
have
the
luxury
of
saying,
oh
well,
I'd
really
prefer
it
to
hit
an
xyz
accounting
month.
That's
not
really
a
decision
that
gets
to
be
considered
if
a
refund
or
a
rebate
is
appropriately
due.
So
I'm
not
sure
that
we
should
spend
too
much
time
delving
into
whether
or
not
someone
was
working
on
a
batch
solution.
I
mean
reality
is
I'm
sure
that
there
are
definitely
accounting
equations
being
run
and
folks
are
putting
efforts
into?
How
am
I
going
to
do
this?
E
D
Okay,
so
I'm
seeing
no
other
hands
up,
so
I'm
gonna
start
going
with
motions.
We
could
go
one
by
one
so
that
people
can
decide
on
that.
So
I
moved
to
adopt
the
resolution
of
the
rental
housing
committee,
the
mountain
view,
adopting
regulations,
chapter
four
and
I
believe
that's
the
registration,
one
of
the
mobile
home
rent
stabilization
ordinance,
I'm
just
going
by
numerical
order.
D
A
C
B
D
A
E
Okay
and
maybe
I'm
being
too
sensitive-
and
perhaps
karen
or
nas
can
correct
me,
but
in
here
and
I
do
real-
I
do
acknowledge
it.
It
matches
the
csfra
exactly.
There
is
language
around
a
requirement
to
essentially
admit
fault
before
making
restitution
and
fixing
the
issue.
If
one
is,
if
the
respondent
is
going
on,
a
downward
adjustment
is
going
to
just
make
the
restitution
and
fix
the
issue,
whether
it
be
a
loss
of
service
or
an
overpayment
of
rent
or
whatever
it
may
be.
E
Maybe
I
am
just
overly
overly
sensitive
to
this
concept,
but
corporate
entities
being
asked
to
admit
fault
or
wrongdoing
to
me
it
seems
like
it
may
be
a
barrier
to
expediously
handling
the
matter
because
they
may
say.
No,
I
don't
want
to
admit
fault.
I
don't
want
to
acknowledge
wrongdoing,
so
I
won't
do
it
when
you
could
otherwise
just
get
the
matter
resolved
quickly
by
having
them
make
restitution
and
fix
the
issue,
and
maybe
I'm
just
very
sensitive,
because
I'm
used
to
my
industry
standards,
and
that
is
we
never
admit
or
deny
fault.
E
E
This
petition
would
have
prevailed,
so
it
just
doesn't
get
done
and
we
just
get
mired
in
petitions
and
I
just
wonder
if
we
want
to
not
make
it
a,
you
must
admit
guilt
and
instead
just
offer
the
ability
to
basically
fix
the
issue
without
admitting
or
denying
culpability
so,
and
I
acknowledge
it
matches
the
csfra.
So
it's
not
like
it's
new,
but
just
a
thought.
F
The
instances
where
this
comes
up
is
where
there's
either
housing
service
has
been
removed
or
there's
a
condition
in
the
park
that
makes
it
uninhabitable,
or
you
know,
there's
health
and
safety
issues.
That
kind
of
stuff
I
mean,
so
what
the
regulations
say
is
an
acknowledgement
that
the
condition
exists
and
a
correction
of
the
condition.
F
So
it
does
seem
like
if
you're
going
to
correct
it,
you
kind
of
have
to
acknowledge
that
it
exists,
but
it
may
not
be
a
sense
of
guilt.
It
may
be
that
things
have
changed
and
services
have
been
reduced,
and
it's
just
stating
that
in
any
instance
where
this
were
to
occur,
it
would
be
a
hearing
officer
making
a
determination
based
on
the
information.
F
E
Okay,
so
maybe
I
misunderstood
that
section,
then
I
thought
that
this
was
pre-intake
phone
call.
Pre-Everything.
In
essence,
you
receive
the
petition
you
as
the
park
owner
a
landlord,
look
at
it
and
go
oh
yeah.
We
probably
need
to
fix
that.
Here's
a
check
to
make
the
restitution
and
we've
brought
back
the
service
or
whatever
it
may
be,
and
it
never
even
goes
to
a
hearing
officer.
It
never
gets
that
far.

Then,
on
a
quarterly
basis.
We
have
the
poorly
financials,
which
you
also
find
on
your
agenda
for
today,
and
then
there
are
annual
items
such
as
the
election
of
the
chair
and
the
vice
chair,
the
budget
and
the
fees
determining
the
annual
general
adjustment
of
rents,
contract
renewals
with
third-party
consultants,
but
also
overview
of
tenant,
relocation
activities,
overview
of
the
petition
and
hearing
process
and
outreach
and
education
plans.
And,
of
course,
the
meeting
scale
schedule
and
the
work
plan.
H
H
A
A
A
A
A
A
L
A
D
We
have
update
regulations
as
needed,
I'm
wondering
if
it's
possible,
because
I
know
that
we're
going
to
be
spending
a
lot
of
time
before
that,
just
getting
the
mobile
home
regulations
up
up
to
snuff
and
and
ready,
but
maybe
looking
into
what
work
plan
items
that
we
might
want
to
look
into
at
that
time
and
actually
be
specific
on
things
that
we
may
end
up
looking
into
usually
they're.
We
have
been
at
the
point
where
it's
it's
it's
kind
of
been
ever
since
we
started
that
we've
been
kind
of.
D
K
K
So
if
the
aga
for
mobile
homes
is
set
in
april,
the
rollback
was
from
march
so
then
just
to
ensure
that
there's
100
of
cpi
is
accumulating
from
march
through
until
when
the
next
aga
is
allowed
to
be
taken,
and
we
then
for
the
regular
covered
units.
We
did
that
as
a
as
an
additional
small
bank
increase.
K
I
don't,
I
don't
actually
know
offhand
if
it's
potentially
it's
already
covered
by
what
that
first
aga
would
cover-
or
maybe
it's
off
by
a
couple
months,
but
just
something
to
I
don't
know
how
specific
you
want
to
get
to
the
for
the
work
plan
hockey,
but
I
think
that'd
be
a
topic.
We'd
want
to
get
before
the
first
again.
A
A
H
H
We
we
expect
we,
we
are
requesting
half
an
fta
if
we
need
to
contract
with
third-party
vendors
for
this
primarily
for
the
first
year
to
go
over
this
hubble
of
the
implementation
of
the
mhrso,
mainly
the
startup
work.
That
needs
to
be
done.
I
mean
yes,
we
have
a
zillion
forms
for
the
csf
array
that
does
not
automatically
transfer,
although
a
lot
of
it
is
similar,
it
still
all
needs
to
be
reviewed
and.
H
H
C
A
A
H
H
So
up
until
the
end
of
september,
14.84
of
the
personnel
budget
is
expanded,
because
we
were
still
finalizing
a
vacant
position
of
analyst
and
recruitment
and
we
charged
two
different
departments.
The
work
performed
related
to
tenant,
relocation,
assistance
and
various
covet.
19
related
programs,
such
as
the
eviction
moratorium
and
rent
relief
programs
for
the
non-personnel
services,
which
includes
third
party
consultants.
H
6.6,
is
expanded.
This
is
below
budget
due
to
late
quarterly
billing
of
service
providers,
but
it
is
also
the
quarterly
billing
of
project
sentinel,
most
of
all
was
very,
very
low
because
there
was
there
were
vacancies
in
in
their
services
for
the
c
safari
and
they've
been
busy
during
this.
This
quarter
to
try
and
recruit
people
for
those
positions
there
were
also
lower
than
anticipated.
Legal
fees
probably
also
has
to
do
that.
H
H
A
G
Good
evening,
thank
you,
chair
almond,
and
thank
you
committee
members,
I'm
going
to
give
you
a
brief
update
of
our
activities,
since
this
is
not
a
quarterly
marker.
This
will
be
relatively
short.
I
just
wanted
to
point
out
that
we
have
a
significant
increase
in
public
inquiries
of
563
received
already
this
fiscal
year
and
a
significant
increase
in
the
number
of
those
that
are
bilingual
services
through
the
helpline
and
through
our
own
staff,
receiving
calls
and
fielding
inquiries
instead
of
our
typical
19
to
20
percent.
It's
up
to
38
this
year.
G
G
I'd
also
like
to
give
an
overview
of
the
eviction
prevention
program.
Jeff
is
working
on
the
visual
overview
and
has
gathered
the
data
from
our
intake
forms
and
surveys
that
we
fill
out
with
the
people
who
join
us.
So
a
majority
64
of
our
households
that
are
receiving
assistance
have
three
or
more
people
in
the
household.
They
live
on
an
average
annual
household
income
of
less
than
25
000,
and
the
majority
of
them
speak
spanish
as
their
primary
language.
G
G
G
At
the
mountain
view,
public
library,
and
then
we
also
have
two
in
december,
we
will
not
be
holding
them
while
the
city
services
are
closed,
so
december
23rd
and
december
30th,
all
city
services
are
closed,
and
so
we
will
not
be
holding
services
on
those
days.
In
fact,
even
the
library
is
closed.
During
that
time
we
will
also
continue
to
have
our
walk-in
office
hours
every
tuesday,
from
10
to
1
p.m.
E
Go
ahead,
I
have
two
questions
and
I
think
they
pertain
to
this
section
ancillarily.
If
not,
I
will
not
ask
them
and
I
will
withdraw
the
questions.
First
and
foremost,
the
rhc
received
correspondence
from
the
mountain
view.
Tenants
coalition.
Has
anyone
responded
to
that
correspondence
on
our
behalf?
Can
we
get
that
responded
too
soon,
if
not.
B
So
as
far
as
the
fees
go,
it
looks
like
we
have
collected
94
of
our
fees
so
again,
as
usual,
very
high
for
fee
payments.
Oh,
I
can't
think
on
the
top
of
my
head
when
my
last
round
of
invoices
went
out,
but
it
was
a
few
months
ago.
So
there
are
still,
I
think,
for
49
or
so
people
who
have
outstanding
invoices
at
this
time,
but
we'll
definitely
try
to
collect
that
right.
B
B
We
have
had
a
few
more
people
register
in
the
last
few
months,
but
not
so
many
so
again,
I'm
gonna
do
a
big
push
starting
in
the
next
week
or
so
with
mailers
and
postcards
that
are
going
out,
because
the
registration
window
is
going
to
open
up
again
for
people
for
the
the
coming
year.
So
really
going
to
try
to
focus
on
outreach
and
webinars
again
and
and
try
to
think
of
some
other
creative
ways
to
to
to
get
to
people
and
and
get
them
to
register
their
property.
E
And
maybe
I
don't
know
if
this
would
just
be
a
huge
pain
and
awful
and
expensive
and
terrible,
but
maybe
we
could
put
a
qr
code
on
the
invoices
for
the
registration,
so
they
could
just
scan
it
with
their
camera
on
their
phone
and
register
and
like
maybe
that
would
help.
I
don't
know,
I'd
love
the
number
to
go
over
40.
That
would
be
cool.
B
A
I
know
that
you
all
are
working
on
ideas
for
enforcement,
including
finding
what
other
jurisdictions
do
for
enforcement.
I
think
it's
you
know.
Registration,
mandatory
registration
has
now
been
in
place
for
a
year
or
so,
and
it's
shocking
to
me
how
low
our
percentage
we're
doing
so
much
better
with
collecting
fees
than
registration.
They
just
really
don't
care
or
something
I
don't
know,
but
I
would
I
know,
we're
going
to
agendize
this
so
just
to
let
you
know,
were
there
any
other
comments
in
general
or
specifically.
