WHAT: Community meeting for tenants and landlords to discuss an updated Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) Policy proposal for Rent Program staff to present to City Council
WHEN: Monday, August 28, 2023 6-8pm
WHERE: City Hall, 2263 Santa Clara Ave, in Council Chambers on the third floor OR join by Zoom
The City of Alameda has had a Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) Policy in effect since 2016, allowing landlords to submit proof of qualifying improvements and pass the costs through to tenants. The policy predates the current Rent Ordinance and has seen only a few applications approved since its adoption.
In May 2023, the City Council enacted a moratorium on CIP for properties with 25 or more rental units and directed staff to return later in the year with alternatives to the current policy.
At the August 28 meeting, program staff will present some policy proposals, summarize feedback from tenant and landlord stakeholder groups in early August, and answer questions and take public comment from meeting participants.
Please note: The meeting is being noticed because the City's Sunshine Ordinance requires notice whenever a majority of the City Council may attend a meeting or function organized to discuss matters of public concern. The City Council will not be taking any action and the City Clerk will not be taking any minutes. Members of the public can attend and offer comment.
