Thank you to those who have already emailed comments to the Council Members ahead of Monday's meeting. They are being received and acknowledged by members of Pasaena's city government.
To help make our case, it is vitally important that your message includes the agenda item (17) and that we are in support of it. Please feel free to use the following template, or modify it to express your own opinion:
SUBJECT: For the City Council meeting of Monday, June 17
I [name] am in support of the proposals for Item #17 especially on the updated code of conduct for rental housing board members. However, I request the additional provisions be included for the discussion of revising the city charter.
1. Create a fair, inclusive and equitable Rental Board by expanding it to include more landlords. (Section 1811.a)
2. Reduce the burden on small owners by exempting single family homes, condos, co-ops, ADUs, and properties with four or fewer units in line with existing zoning codes, and Section 8 tenancies. (Section 1804.a.4 and 1805.a.6)
3. Allow half of the rental registry tax to be passed on to tenants, like other cities do, so that both sides are accountable. This would insure there is no incentive to overcharge, and encourage cost effective management. (Section 1811.l)
4. Fix the unclear enforcement mechanism that criminalizes every minor failure to comply with this complex and contradictory Measure. (Section 1817.g and 1817.h)
5. Insure a real “right of fair return” instead of the activists’ complex, unclear and unfair definition. This should be resolved through regulation, NOT through Charter definitions.
You can send your comments to any or all of the following:
Mayor Victor Gordo: vgordo@cityofpasadena.net
Vice-Mayor, CD6 Steve Madison: smadison@cityofpasadena.net
Tyron Hampton, CD1: THampton@cityofpasadena.net
Felicia Williams, CD2: fwilliams@cityofpasadena.net

Gene Masuda, CD4: gmasuda@cityofpasadena.net
Jess Rivas, CD5: jerivas@cityofpasadena.net
Jason Lyon, CD7: jlyon@cityofpasadena.net
While emailed comments are important, personal attendance or dialing in and speaking in public comment on agenda item #17 is the most impactful way to make our case.
We hope to see you there tomorrow night, and we will be speaking alongside you.
Public Meeting: 5:30 P.M.
Council Chamber, Pasadena City Hall
100 North Garfield Avenue, Room S249
