RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council receive the staff presentation, hear public comment, and provide direction on reducing the badging fee and certain administrative aspects of the cannabis employee badge process.

BACKGROUND:

At the March 19, 2024 City Council meeting, during the review of the City’s cannabis ordinance revisions, the City Council directed staff to return to City Council for consideration of the following: (1) potential reduction of cannabis employee badging fee; (2) the issuance of one badge to persons that are employed by multiple City cannabis operations owned by the same owner; (3) the outsourcing of cannabis required employee background checks; (4) the issuance of temporary cannabis employee badges; (5) providing the average Department of Justice (DOJ)/Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) background check response times, and (6) updating of the City’s cannabis badge design to be State- compliant.

ANALYSIS:

Employee Badge Fee Reduction

Costa Mesa Municipal Code (CMMC) Section 9 -495 (g)(10) requires that “Every owner, manager, supervisor or employee of the cannabis business must submit fingerprints and other information deemed necessary by the City Manager for a background check by the Costa Mesa Police Department to verify the person's criminal history. ” CMMC Se ction 9 -496 establishes further the following regulations regarding cannabis employee background checks and badges:

860

Item #: 24-127 Meeting Date: 05/07/2024

(a) Any person who is an employee or who otherwise works within a cannabis business must be legally authorized to do so under applicable State law; (b) No cannabis business or owner thereof may employ any person who has been convicted of a felony within the past seven years, unless that felony has been dismissed, withdrawn, expunged or set aside pursuant to Penal Code section 1203.4, 1000 or 1385, or who is currently on probation or parole for the sale, distribution, possession or manufacture of a controlled substance. Exempted from this prohibition is a conviction for a felony involving cannabis and/or marijuana for which the underlying cannabis or m arijuana offense has subsequently been designated a misdemeanor or infraction or decriminalized pursuant to the provisions of the Control, Regulate and Tax Adult Use of Marijuana Act or federal law; and (c) All employees must wear an identification badge while on the premises of the business, in a format authorized by the City Manager.

At the March 19, 2024 City Council meeting, the Council proposed reducing the cannabis employee background check fee from $631 to $306. The current fee was established in 2021, following a ClearSouce Financial Consulting study. Prior to the ClearSource study , the City’s fee for a cannabis employee background check and badge was $341. The study found that the full cost recovery of providing the service was $631, and thus the fee was increased by the City Council to be paid in full for services rendered. Reducing the fee to $306 would not cover the full cost of City staff time to review the applications, correspond with applicants regarding missing or incorrect items, review DOJ/FBI results, prepare badges, and manages employee databases. It should be noted that implementation of the City’s on-line permitting system (TESSA) has reduced several of the steps in the initial employee background/badge process and staff processing efforts have slightly decreased.

Multiple-Facility Employee Badge

Presently, a cannabis employee in Costa Mesa who works for multiple cannabis operations in the City is required to obtain a background check and a separate badge for each cannabis location and pay a separate fee. The City Council directed staff to explore ways to instead issue one badge for cannabis employees who work for multiple cannabis businesses in Costa Mesa under the same ownership. Staff believes that issuing one badge per employee for multiple cannabis operations under the same ownership can be competed in compliance with State badging requirements . This proposed change was made to the ordinance after direction from the City Council at the March 19, 2024 meeting in Title 9-496(c). The result would be a new badge design. If adopted by the City Council on 2nd reading, Staff could implement the improved badge design for new e mployees that have not already obtained a City-issued badge after developing procedures which will included in updates to the Administrative Regulations.

DOJ and FBI Background Check Timeframe

Staff analyzed California DOJ and FBI response time s for Costa Mesa cannabis employee s and owners that processed Live Scan fingerprints between January 1, 2023 and March 27, 2024. Based upon this dat a, clearances were sent to Costa Mesa Police Department ( CMPD) for 57 percent of applicants within 24 hours , and 87 percent of clearances were sent within two weeks. DOJ/FBI response times fluctuate due to a variety of reasons; however, primarily because of criminal record dispositions. The Live Scan data analysis results are summarized below:
861

Item #: 24-127 Meeting Date: 05/07/2024

 57 percent cleared within 24 hours;
 30 percent cleared between 24 hours to 2 weeks;
 5 percent cleared between 15 days to 4 weeks;
 2 percent cleared between 29 days to 6 weeks; and
 6 percent cleared after more than 6 weeks.

Approximately 6.5 percent of cannabis employee badge applicants do not pass the Live Scan background check.

Temporary Employee Badge

The City Council directed staff to explore creating a temporary badge program to provide cannabis operators the option of temporarily hiring employees during the background check process.

During this research, the City Attorney determined that allowing persons who have not completed and passed the background check process to work in cannabis businesses could result in cannabis operators temporarily hiring individuals that : (1) have been convicted of a felony (ies) within the past seven years that have not been dismissed, withdrawn, expunged or set aside pursuant to Penal Code section 1203.4, 1000 or 1385 ; and/or (2) who are currently on probation or parole for the sale, distribution, possession or manufacture of a controlled substance. Although the employment would be considered temporary, the operator could be found in violation of CMMC Section 9 -496. As noted above, approximately 6.5 percent of cannabis employee applicants do not pass the Live Scan background check. If the City issued temporary badges, it is possible that a similar percentage of the employees permitted to work under a temporary badge would be found to be ineligible.

If the City Council desires staff to create a temporary badge process, the City Attorney could be directed to work with staff to develop such a program, which may require a revision to the Municipal Code and amendment to the Administrative Regulations.

Outsourcing Background Checks

The City Council directed staff to explore outsourcing background checks as a means to reduce processing times and costs. Staff contacted the City’s cannabis consultant (H dL), which assists City staff with numerous components of cannabis application reviews , to determine if they could provide background checks consistent with the City’s current standards for review and as required by the CMMC. According to HdL, there are several aspects of the City’s current background check process that HdL would not be able to provide the same level of service and would not be consistent with certain background check regulations of the CMMC . Specifically, HdL does not provide fingerprinting, which is explicitly required by the CMMC. In addition, the HdL background check process is limited to current criminal dispositions (the current status or final outcome of an arrest or prosecution that has already occurred) and does not in clude the “live scan” capability of the City’s current background check process. The HdL background check process would not inform the City of an owner or employee who was prosecuted for a felony after the initial background check was performed. To partially address this issue, HdL could require all owners and employees to undergo an annual background check renewal process for an additional fee.

862

Item #: 24-127 Meeting Date: 05/07/2024

Based on the above information, staff recommends continuing to utilize the Live Scan background check process . Further, with interdepartmental coordination and utilization of TESSA to save time resulting in improvements to internal procedures, staff believes that the timeframe for issuing badges after receiving results from the DOJ/FBI will be shortened.

Updating Badge Design

As directed by the City Council, staff will update the design of City -issued badges to meet the requirements of California Code of Regulations Title 4 Section 15043, such as including the business’ Department of Cannabis Control license number.

ALTERNATIVES:

As directed by the City Council, several of t he City’s cannabis badge and background processing procedures are analyzed above. The City Council can direct staff to modify any of these procedures, or direct staff to continue processing as currently administered. The City Council has the following alternatives:

1. Adopt a resolution reducing the cannabis employee badge fee to $306 or as otherwise determined; or

2. Not adopt the cannabis employee badge fee and the fee will remain at $631.

3. Direct staff to modify cannabis badge and background processing procedures; or

4. Direct staff to not modify the cannabis badge and background processing procedures.

FISCAL REVIEW:

The cannabis employee badge fee is presently set at full cost recovery at a rate of $631 per badge. The City Council proposed a reduction in badge fees from $631 to $306, an approximate a 50% reduction.

The reduced fee would no longer achieve full cost recovery ; however, would be more consistent with other cities’ badge fees that were surveyed.

The City collects an average of $25,000 in badge fees per month, or $300,000 per year. The fiscal impact of the fee reduction is projected to reduce the City’s badge fee revenue by $150,000 per year.

LEGAL REVIEW:

The draft Resolution and staff report have been prepared in conjunction with and reviewed by the City Attorney’s Office.

CITY COUNCIL GOALS AND PRIORITIES:

This item supports the City Council Goal of achieving long-term fiscal sustainability, in that cannabis operations are subject to Measure Q and Measure X taxes , and efficiency in the cannabis employee background review will further the success of cannabis businesses in Costa Mesa.

CONCLUSION:

863

Item #: 24-127 Meeting Date: 05/07/2024

The cannabis employee background check and badge fee topics described above are intended to provide the City Council information to provide staff with direction on modifications to the badging fee and certain administrative aspects of the cannabis review process.

TITLE:

ONE YEAR USE AGREEMENT FOR JACK HAMMETT SPORTS COMPLEX WITH RAIDERS FOOTBALL CLUB, LLC, FOR 2024 PRE SEASON TRAINING CAMP
DEPARTMENT: CITY MANAGER’S OFFICE
PRESENTED BY: ALMA REYES, DEPUTY CITY MANAGER
CONTACT INFORMATION: ALMA REYES, DEPUTY CITY MANAGER, (714) 754-5328 RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends the City Council approve and authorize the City Manager to execute a Use Agreement for the City's Jack Hammett Sports Complex for a portion of the Raiders Football Club’s 2024 Summer Training Camp and related community benefits.

BACKGROUND:

The Raiders Football Club, LLC, a Limited Liability Company, located in Nevada, has approached the City of Costa Mesa regarding the use of Jack Hammett Sports Complex (Complex) for a portion of their 2024 Summer Training Camp (Camp). Each year, National Football League (NFL) teams operate summer training camps to prepare their teams for the upcoming season. After exploring various location options, the Raiders requested the use of the City's Complex for a portion of their 2024 pre-season Training Camp operations.

Throughout the year, the City reviews Special Events Permits and Use Agreements for many different parks and facilities for non-profit groups, businesses, and individuals. In the past, the City's Jack Hammett Sports Complex has been used for various tournaments, events and practices.

In 2010, the University of Alabama football team had exclusive use of the site for their preparations for the national championship game that was played at the Rose Bowl. In addition, the Complex hosted the University of Florida State football team in 2014 when they were playing in the national championship game. Both of these teams became the national champions in those respective years.

In 2017, the City entered into a 10-year Use Agreement with the Los Angeles Chargers to conduct their annual Summer Training Camps through 2026 at the Complex at an annual cost of $150,570.

The Chargers also invested approximately $1 million into the fields to bring them to NFL standards, among other community benefits. In 2022, the Chargers notified the City that their 2023 Summer Training Camp would likely be its last year at the Complex as they would be transitioning to a new training facility in El Segundo, California.

In March of 2024, the Los Angeles Chargers confirmed they would not be utilizing the City’sComplex

869
File #: 24-193 Meeting Date: 5/7/2024
In March of 2024, the Los Angeles Chargers confirmed they would not be utilizing the City’sComplex to conduct its 2024 Summer Training Camp. As the Chargers organization has an Agreement with the City for use of the Complex through 2026, if they choose to exercise the option, the City can only enter into a one-year Use Agreement with another sports team at this time.

ANALYSIS:

The proposed Use Agreement (Attachment 1) outlines the terms and conditions for the Raiders’use of the Complex. The Agreement includes the following key provisions:
· Use of Fields: The Raiders will have use of the Complex for a portion of their pre-season summer training camp from approximately July 19, 2024, through August 11, 2024. The investments they plan to make into the fields to bring them to current NFL standards will commence in June.
· Fees for Use: The Raiders will pay the City $165,00 for its use of the fields which is a negotiated one year price based on field use rates and the level of community benefits (itemized below), as well as, the overall economic benefit to the local community. · Community Benefits: In addition to the field use rate, the Raiders have agreed to the following community benefits:
· $600,000 in improvements to Fields 3 and 4 to current NFL standards · Team Junior Training Camp for kids ages 6 to 12
· 100 tickets for local students to attend an NFL pre-season game in southern California · Replacement of fitness and weight training equipment for Costa Mesa High School · A Mobile Recreation Van for recreation programs in underserved areas · A $10,000 donation to a local youth sports group
· Training Camp: The Raiders would be allowed to utilize the Complex to support open practices during the camp. Details of the training camp dates and all related information will be coordinated through the City’sSpecial Events Permitting process, as with all major events at the City. The City will work closely with the community, neighborhoods surrounding the Complex and other community institutions and partners as needed in the discussions of parking, traffic, and other impacts to ensure that parking and traffic needs continue to operate as smoothly as possible. The Raiders will be responsible for the costs related to the development and implementation of all plans and for the rental of necessary equipment. Any requested public safety (Police and Fire) or other City staff necessary to support security, traffic/parking management, or any other activity will be charged per the City's event rate schedule.

In addition to the community benefits outlined above, the City will also reap the overall economic benefits from increased hotel stays and multiplier effects from hosting an NFL team, thereby increasing the City’s hotel and sales tax revenues.

Since the fields at the Jack Hammett Sports Complex are not used and instead are refurbished

870
File #: 24-193 Meeting Date: 5/7/2024
Since the fields at the Jack Hammett Sports Complex are not used and instead are refurbished during the summer months, no youth sports teams will be displaced during the Training Camp period.

ALTERNATIVES:

The City Council may elect not to authorize this use agreement. There are no other considerations for alternatives as no other city facilities could adequately accommodate this use.

FISCAL REVIEW:

The proposed Use Agreement with the Las Vegas Raiders for the rental of the City's Jack Hammett Sports Complex for a portion of their annual summer training camp, and related events, would provide the City $165,000 in revenue for the duration of use, and other community benefits. The revenue from this agreement would be deposited into the Jack Hammet Sports Complex Capital Improvement Fund (Fund 417) for future improvements at the Complex benefitting the Costa Mesa community and youth sports groups that regularly use the facility.

LEGAL REVIEW:

The City Attorney has reviewed and approved the Agreement as to form.

CITY COUNCIL GOALS AND PRIORITIES:

This item supports the following City Council Goal:
· Improve the Quality of Life
· Achieve Long-Term Fiscal Sustainability
CONCLUSION:

Staff recommends the City Council approve and authorize the City Manager to execute a Use Agreement for the City's Jack Hammett Sports Complex for a portion of the Raiders Football Club’s 2024 Summer Training Camp and related community benefits.

UPDATE REGARDING THE CITY’S TENANT PROTECTION ORDINANCE

PRESENTED BY: NATE ROBBINS, NEIGHBORHOOD IMPROVEMENT MANAGER AND

SERGIO ESCOBAR, MANAGEMENT ANALYST

CONTACT INFORMATION: NATE ROBBINS, NEIGHBORHOOD IMPROVEMENT MANAGER (714) 754-5274
RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends the City Council receive and file this update regarding the City’s Tenant Protection Ordinance.

BACKGROUND:

At the direction of the City Council and in an effort to assist Costa Mesa residents when facing eviction, and also assist landlords in complying with State law , staff worked with the City Attorney’s Office to draft an urgency ordinance to ensure protections for residents facing a no-fault just cause eviction.

On November 7, 2023, the City Council voted to adopt Urgency Ordinance No. 2023-04 (Ordinance), amending Title 9 of the Costa Mesa Municipal Code by adding Chapter II, Article 24 (Just Cause Residential Tenant Protections) and declar ed the Ordinance to be an emergency measure to take effect immediately upon adoption. The Ordinance, in addition to codifying the provisions of State legislation in AB1482 and SB567, further increased local tenant protections by including the following requirements:

1. All components of SB567 that would otherwise go into effect on April 1, 2024, were immediately enacted upon adoption of the Ordinance on November 7, 2023.

2. Property owners must notify the City within 72 hours of serving a tenant a no -fault just cause eviction.

3. Property owners required to pay relocation assistance must pay an amou nt equal to the Small Area Fair Market Rents published annually by the Department of Housing and Urban Development.

In order to implement the program authorized by the Ordinance, the City Council approved the hiring of up to two (2) full-time Outreach Wor kers in the Neighborhood Improvement Division, if needed, a Senior Planner in the Economic and Development Services Department (EDSD) to assist property owners and tenants through the no-fault eviction process and a Code Enforcement Officer. 887

Item #: 24- Meeting Date: 05/07/2024

Further, the City Council appropriated $300,000 in American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds to be awarded to local partners for the provision of supplemental case management and financial assistance to Costa Mesa households facing no-fault eviction. Lastly, the City Council allocated $250,000 in ARPA funds, if needed, to Jones & Mayer for any required legal advice.

Further information regarding the November 7, 2023 meeting can be found here:

 Agenda Report
 Urgency Ordinance No 2023-04
 Council Meeting Video

The City Council has requested an update from staff on the City’s Tenant Protection Program which has now been in effect for six (6) months and has proven to have a significant impact in aiding those facing no-fault eviction and who are at risk of becoming homeless. It has also significantly aided landlord and property owners in understanding and complying with State and local rules regarding no fault evictions.

ANALYSIS:

Since adopting the Ordinance on November 7, 2023, the City has received correspondence from 103 individuals (unduplicated) requesting information regarding the provisions of the law and other eviction- related topics. Approximately 55 of these inquiries were residents seeking clarity regarding the rights afforded to them by the City’s Ordinance. The other 48 inquiries were property owners (or their representatives) seeking clarity on their rights as owners and the definition of lawful just cause evictions. The information provided by t he City to educate the public likely prevented landlords from inadvertently conducting unlawful evictions and equipped residents with the knowledge to better understand their rights as tenants.

The City has three methods by which tenants and landlords may inquire about eviction-related matters.

Tenants and landlords may contact staff in person at City Hall, email [email protected], or call 714-754-5346. Email is the most used method to contact the City. Of the 103 inquiries made, 57 were emails, 28 were in-person inquiries, and 18 were calls. Spanish bilingual staff is available to assist Spanish-speaking individuals in any of the three methods of inquiry. Calls and emails are typically answered within 72 hours.

In addition to requests for information, the City has received from property owners a total of 35 eviction notices (See Attachment 1). Twenty-five (25) of the notices were no-fault evictions, which occur when a property owner chooses to evict a tenant for one of four allowable justifications and in the absence of any wrongdoing by the tenant. Another ten (10) of the notices were for at-fault evictions, which occur when a property owner chooses to evict a tenant who has breached one or more terms of the rental agreement. Each eviction notice received by the City is reviewed by staff to ensure it contains the specific language and back-up documentation required by law. These eviction notices are categorized as follows:

888

Item #: 24- Meeting Date: 05/07/2024

1. No-Fault, Compliant – Eight (8) eviction notices were deemed compliant upon initial review and no further action was required.

2. No-Fault, Reissued – Thirteen (13) eviction notices were deemed non-compliant upon initial review and withdrawn by the owner. The owner subsequently amended the notices and reissued them to the tenants. Nine (9) of the reissued notices were deemed compliant upon second review and four (4) are currently under review.

3. No-Fault, Withdrawn – Four (4) eviction notices were deemed non-compliant upon initial review and withdrawn by the owner. None of these notices have been resubmitted for staff review nor have the owners expressed intent to reissue updated notices to their tenant(s).

4. At-Fault – Ten (10) eviction notices were for failure to pay rent or general breaches of the rental contract. While at -fault eviction notices are not required to be submitted to the City, staff may be contacted owners or tenants to attempt to facilitate a resolution. Residents facing a n at-fault eviction for failure to pay rent are referred to the Costa Mesa Rental Assistance Program operated by Mercy House. Eligible households may receive financial assistance of up to $10,000 in arrears and six (6) months of future rent.

In sum, for the almost six (6) month period following the adoption of the Tenant Protection Ordinance (November 7, 2023, through April 30, 2024), there were a total of 35 households in the City that received eviction notices (25 no -fault and 10 at -fault). This number represents an approximate 50 percent reduction in the total number of eviction notices issued to residents than in the four (4) month period that preceded the Ordinance when a total of 67 eviction notices were issued to residents (approximately 63 no-fault and 4 at-fault). This data suggests the adoption of the Ordinance, coupled with a robust community outreach and education strategy, may have helped educate landlords, property managers and tenants understand the law and reduce certain evictions from taking place . It appears the program implemented by the City equipped both landlords and residents with the knowledge to better understand current State and local laws, and each parties’ respe ctive obligations and rights.

Assistance to Residents

All households that received a compliant no -fault eviction notice were contacted by a City Outreach Worker to offer voluntary case management and referrals to our local service partners for supplemental assistance. While not all households require case management, most express deep gratitude to the City for reaching out and offering support in their time of need . The services available to residents facing no-fault eviction are:

 Intensive case management by Outreach Worker . To date, five (5) of the twenty one (21) households who received a lawful no -fault eviction notice have requested case management, which includes the following services:

o Needs Assessment – An in -depth look at a household's overall situation to identify challenges related to employment, housing, and health. The Outreach Worker takes a “strengths-based” approach that empowers clients to identify and apply one’s strengths to achieve goals, rather than fixating on weaknesses or deficiencies. 889

Item #: 24- Meeting Date: 05/07/2024

o Income Determination – Collecting income documentation for all adult residents to officially determine a household's annual income. This determination is valid for 12 months and establishes eligibility for all income-based programs and resources. o Housing Plan – The process of developing goals to identify, secure, and retain the best possible housing solution for a client household.
o Housing Search Assistance – Educating and coaching households on how to search for and apply to various housing options in and around the areas they wish to reside. o Referrals – Connecting households to all available resources related to employment, housing, and health to ensure the best possible outcomes and achieve the highest level of self-sustainability.

City staff are finalizing funding agreements with Families Forward and SPIN to provide the following services to households facing no-fault eviction:

 Up to $500 for moving-related expenses. To date, one (1) of the twenty one (21) households who received a no -fault eviction notice ha s utilized this service. This service is available to all residents facing no-fault eviction, regardless of income, and is rendered by our partner providers Families Forward and Serving P eople In Need (SPIN) . Examples of eligible items include a dumpster rental, moving boxes, hiring a moving company, and/or renting a moving van. No direct payments are made to tenants as purchases are completed by the provider on behalf of the household. Th is service is only available before a household vacates their unit and is not available retroactively.

 Supplemental financial assistance. This service is available to households at or below 50% of the Area Median Income (AMI) (i.e., $78,900/yr for a 4-person household) . Eligible costs include security and utility deposits, holding fees, application fees, future rent, etc., and is administered by Families Forward and SPIN.

Households assisted in the interim are referred to the Costa Mesa Rental Assis tance Program administered by Mercy House . To date, Mercy House has provided one (1) household with financial assistance to pay for a security deposit on their new unit . One (1) household was placed in a hotel and has been approved for ongoing rental assistance to ensure stability in their new home. The family will be moving into their new home in less than a week from the writing of this report.

Review of Eviction Notices

The City has developed a streamlined process for the review of no-fault eviction notices. In general, a property owner (or their representative ) submits to the City a copy of a Notice of Termination of Tenancy (NTT) and all applicable backup documents within 72 hours of issuing the notice to the tenant(s). Neighborhood Improvement staff performs an initial review to determine compliance with the notification requirements of the Ordinance . If the NTT complies with the Ordinance and requires no additional investigation or follow-up because all required documentation has been provided, a “Notice to Proceed” is sent to the property owner.

890

Item #: 24- Meeting Date: 05/07/2024

NTTs identified as out of compliance with the Ordinance are void and the property owner is notified that the NTT is invalid and they must either: 1) bring the notice into compliance and reissue it to their tenant(s); or, 2) rescind the notice and allow the tenant to remain in place. NTTs that utilize “substantially remodel” as the stated reason for the eviction, are forwarded to the Senior Planner in the Economic and Development Services Department (EDSD) who oversees the review of this aspect of the NTT process. This review involves coordination with the property owner to ascertain the scope of the “substantially remodel” work and associated building permits with input from the Building Official.

In addition, the City’s Totally Electronic Self Service Application (TESSA) was updated to allow property owners to electronically submit notices of no -fault eviction for staff review. TESSA requires those applying for a residential building permit to identify if the work will result in an eviction. If the building permit is related to work to “substantially remodel”, resulting in an eviction, the Senior Planner in EDSD coordinates with owners/contractors and the Building Official to ensure compliance with the Ordinance.

Community Outreach and Education

Since adopting the Ordinance, City staff has provided outreach and education including multiple in - person community meetings to inform owners and tenants of their rights regarding evictions and available resources. Prior and ongoing actions include:
 Bilingual documents regarding the rights and responsibilities of owners and tenants:
o A dedicated Tenant Protections page on the City’s website at https://www.costamesaca.gov/trending/tenant-protections o Published the flyers TPO Fact Sheet ( See Attachment 2) and TPO Resources (See Attachment 3)
o Mailed nearly 600 letters to property owners
o Canvassed neighborhoods affected by no-fault eviction  Continued education regarding available rental assistance and legal aid resources o Hosted tables at City Council meetings , Fair H ousing Foundation workshops , community clean-ups, and resource fairs
 Community partner outreach to schools, stakeholders, apartment associations, nonprofits, service providers, etc.
o Distributed educational materials to the Newport Mesa Unified School District, dozens of service providers and faith -based organizations, the Apartment Association of Orange County, Resilience OC, and local community leaders.
 The City’s Network for Homeless Solutions Hotline at (714) 754 -5346 is now answered by a live person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to better serve those in need of assistance.

Adoption of the Ordinance has shed light on the disproportionate number of Costa Mesa households with minor children negatively affected by no-fault evictions. To combat this and provide the highest level of service to our community, the City will continue to implement just cause eviction education and assist Costa Mesa households facing eviction with necessary assistance and services. The City understands that outreach and education to property owners and tenants about the Ordinance and their rights are also integral to ensuring effective implementation and enforcement of the ordinance.

I moved to Costa Mesa 4 years ago.

Coming to Costa Mesa our housing plans were upended due to COVID, complications with COVID, mental illness in my family , Ana’s not realizing how complicated the housing market in Costa Mesa was and is. After a pending all of our savings and down payment for a home in the hotel and motels here and in Orange County we realized that even though living in Costa Mesa was our dream it wasn’t happening as we expected. But that did not stop Costa Mesa from becoming our home.

The housing situation here is in crisis. Costa Mesa is our home and I have recently went into real estate to better develop an understanding on how to help Costa Mesans own their homes, protect their businesses and learn the levels of ownership and how to make best use of the land. With my experience of being unhoused and among the working under-employed, I now have education in Real Estate and Real Estate law through University of California Irvine. With education, experience, and a love and commitment to Costa Mesa; I have an understanding of the crisis nature and want to be a part of the best possible solutions as we continue to build a beautiful Costa Mesa. Thank you for your consideration.

Q4
As a Committee member, what ideas or projects are of interest to you? Housing developments, unhoused population assistance or even relocation, housing solutions, potential Fairview Developmental Center housing project. Real Estate in general.

Opening a street vendor location and offering case workers to navigate the permit.process with the county and to allocate funds for doing so. It shouldn't be the fairgrounds.
