Context for July 19 Discussion Barbara opened the meeting by clarifying the role a nd expectations of the CAG. She noted that the HRA has asked them to review housing issues and the proposed licensing ordinance, and that the HRA is open to all recommendations they want to make, even not proceeding with a licensing program. Barbara encouraged the gro up to think creatively ab out how housing issues might be addressed. Barbara also encour aged the group to begin formulating their recommendations as the timeframe is short a nd the group needs adequate time to discuss and reach consensus on their recommendations. To facilitate this discussion, Barbar a distributed a list of 10 issues and values that have surfaced in previous meetings. They include: prope rty exterior maintenan ce, parking/traffic, overcrowding, data/records, enforcement of new property maintenance code, especially gaining access to the property, city capacity to e ducation or manage new programs, funding, equity/fairness, renter’s safe ty/rights, and public input. Ke y points that emerged during the discussion of these issues are identified in thes e notes. A separate document that contains a summary of these issues and poten tial recommendations to the HRA will be distributed with the agenda for the next meeting. ISSUE: Overcrowding— The group discussed overcrowding first because some members feel it is the primary issue driving creati on of a rental licensing program. • The City can send a letter notifying residents of suspected overcrowding, but lack additional “tools” that would allow them to en ter the unit, inspect it, and take action. • To obtain a Court Order for access, the City mu st have an eyewitness willing to testify about the overcrowding.
