RENT BOARD'S UNACCOUNTED $425,000
The Rent Board was supposed to explain its no-bid contract with bhyv in its meeting this week. Instead, Chair Ryan Bell announced at the last moment that the item would not be heard. We have been told by a department official that byhv consulting "couldn't make the meeting".
Bell did not say if or when the contract would be reviewed, but we do know that there are no more Rent Board meetings until November.
If you think that the city has a right to know what happened to $425,000 of housing providers' money that was spend on bhyv's failure to meet its contractual deadlines, you can write to Pasadena City Council and ask when they are going to look into the contract that they expressed concerns about in July 2023.
You can remind them that the CEO of byhv was ineligible to practice law earlier this year, after failing to comply with regulations designed to safeguard client funds.
