A webpage to provide Mountain View Rental Housing Committee agendas and staff reports in HTML and mobile responsive format. In BETA.
The CSFRA Rental Housing Committee is charged with a number of tasks, including but not limited to establishing rules and regulations for the enforcement of the CSFRA, determining the Annual General Adjustment and announcing it by June 30th of each year, appointing hearing officers and establishing a budget and Rental Housing Fee.
Staff proposes an Initial Work Plan which outlines a list of tasks or issues staff will bring forward in the coming months to the Rental Housing Committee for discussion, review, consideration and possible adoption in order to implement the Community Stabilization and Fair Rent Act.
Staff seeks input from the RHC on the work plan, both in terms of the content and the timeline. Staff would also emphasize that the workload for the Committee is significant and the intent of the draft work plan is to provide a blueprint to guide the work of the Committee. It remains to be seen whether the proposed work plan is accurate in terms of the number of meetings or amount of time allocated to each work plan item or needs to be adjusted accordingly.
