The commission did not move forward with the proposed tenant-protection ordinance at this meeting. Instead, it asked staff to study additional protections, including possible changes for certain evictions, more help for vulnerable residents, and a way to base relocation assistance on fair market rent. The commission also backed the city’s draft HUD spending plan, which would support rental help, home repairs, and community service programs. These steps now go to the City Council for further consideration.
