BUSINESS OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HALF MOON BAY

AGENDA REPORT
For meeting of: January 20, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
VIA: Matthew Chidester, City Manager
FROM: Todd Seeley, Interim Public Works Director
Matt Nichols, Senior Management Analyst
TITLE: APPROVE MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING FOR SENATE BILL 1383

PROCUREMENT
______________________________________________________________________________ RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a Memorandum of Understanding with the County of San Mateo for the implementation of a Senate Bill (SB) 1383 compliant procurement program in an amount not to exceed $25,000 annually.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The requested budget for this MOU is up to $25,000 per calendar year. The 2026 payment is due to the County by February 28, 2026. In subsequent years, invoicing may be divided into multiple billings, if necessary, to align with the City’s fiscal schedule.

The budget for the 2026 procurements will be partially covered by the City’s remaining CalRecycle OWR4 grant funds, with the remaining balance funded through the City’s SB 1383 Waste Compliance budget. This year's funds have been programmed into the Public Works Department’s adopted FY 2025–26 operating budget.

STRATEGIC ELEMENT:

This action supports the Infrastructure and Environment, and Healthy Communities and Public Safety Elements of the Strategic Plan.

BACKGROUND:

In September 2016, Governor Brown signed Senate Bill 1383 (SB 1383) (Lara, Chapter 395, Statutes of 2016) into law, establishing statewide methane emissions reduction targets as part of California’s efforts to reduce short-lived climate pollutants. SB 1383 codified the California Air Resources Board’s Short-Lived Climate Pollutant Reduction Strategy, originally developed pursuant to SB 605 (Lara, Chapter 523, Statutes of 2014), to significantly reduce emissions of methane and other climate pollutants across multiple sectors of the State’s economy. 216

In November 2020, the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) adopted regulatory text to implement SB 1383. These regulations require local jurisdictions to implement, maintain, enforce, and report on a comprehensive set of organic waste recycling programs. A key component of the regulations is a mandatory procurement requirement for jurisdictions to annually procure a minimum amount of recovered organic waste, such as compost and mulch, based on jurisdiction population.

State enforcement of SB 1383 regulations began on January 1, 2022, including enforcement of procurement requirements. Jurisdictions must document and report procurement activities annually to CalRecycle. Failure to meet these requirements may result in enforcement actions and penalties.

To assist jurisdictions with the initial implementation of SB 1383, CalRecycle established the SB 1383 Local Assistance Grant Program, also known as the Organic Waste Reduction (OWR) grants. These non-competitive grants provided two rounds of temporary funding to cities and counties to support SB 1383 implementation activities, including program development, administration, compliance tracking, and procurement planning. The initial OWR1 grant has concluded, and the second OWR4 grant is scheduled to sunset in 2026, with no further funding available at this time.

The City of Half Moon Bay has used these rounds of funding to cover the cost of procuring our required allotment of recovered organic material through a cost broker program with the County, but as these grant programs expire, jurisdictions are required to transition to fully funding SB 1383 compliance activities through local resources. This includes ongoing costs associated with the procurement of recovered organic waste products and the administrative requirements needed to document compliance.

DISCUSSION:

The proposed MOU is similar to previous SB 1383 programs in partnership with the County of San Mateo (County) and represents an evolution of the OWR-funded joint compost broker program, administered collaboratively by the San Mateo Resource Conservation District (RCD) and the County. This earlier program leveraged cost-sharing and administrative efficiencies by allowing multiple jurisdictions to purchase compost in bulk through separate but identical agreements with the local RCD.

As grant funding ends in 2026, this new MOU transitions the program from an annual grantbased reporting model to a simplified agreement designed to reduce duplicative administrative tasks. It also provides flexibility for program members to adjust procurement needs as new avenues for procurement credit emerge and as procurement requirements are potentially reassessed.

The estimated cost for the City to meet this compost requirement independently is approximately $31,500 per year, excluding staff time and transportation costs. Shipping costs from the City’s current supplier are also expected to increase in 2026, further raising total 217

annual expenses. While early data from the City’s free compost hub pilot showed the City could move roughly 20,000 pounds of compost per week, staff believe these numbers were inflated by initial demand for the new program. In addition, the hub must close from October through March due to rain, making it impossible for the City to meet its annual procurement target using this site alone. This MOU will allow the City to move more compost of higher quality, at lower cost and with reduced overhead, compared to meeting this state-mandated goal inhouse.

221
2 NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY AGREED BY THE PARTIES HERETO AS FOLLOWS:

1. Services to be Performed by the County
A. Program Administration

In this role, the County shall provide contract management, fiscal oversight, and coordination with participating jurisdictions.
b. The County shall serve as the direct service provider and allocate procurement credits in proportion to the Jurisdiction’s contribution to the Program. c. The County shall execute an intergovernmental agreement with the RCD by February 28, 2026, to implement the Program and shall maintain the agreement for the duration of this MOU.

B. Program Funding
a. The County shall invoice the Jurisdiction for an initial contribution, set by the Jurisdiction, for an amount not to exceed $24,280.25, by February 28, 2026.

Invoices may be issued after this date or divided into multiple billings if necessary to align with the Jurisdiction’s fiscal schedule. Of the total invoiced amount, the County will retain between 2% and 4% of the total amount to offset staff time costs required to administer the Program. The County will track all administrative costs associated with the Program and will furnish data to the Jurisdiction justifying the final administrative rate that will be retained. The rate will not exceed 4% in the first year of implementation. The percentage of funding retained for County administrative costs will be adjusted in future years based on the total staff time required to administer this Program.
b. The County shall provide a Program Authorization Letter Template to the Jurisdiction, by September 1, 2026, and annually thereafter, for use in authorizing its continued participation in the Program for the next calendar year. In this letter, the Jurisdiction shall specify its total contribution, the anticipated tons of ROWP credit to be received, and the percent of its contribution that the County will retain to offset Program administration costs. The letter shall be signed by an employee of the Jurisdiction who is authorized to commit and disburse funding to the Program.
222
3 c. The County shall invoice the Jurisdiction for its contribution to the Program as defined in the Authorization Letter no later than January 30, 2027, and annually thereafter. If no authorization letter is provided for a given calendar year, the County shall not invoice the Jurisdiction.

e. Upon termination of this MOU, the County shall return any unspent contributions to the Jurisdiction within sixty (60) days.

C. Recordkeeping & Reporting
a.

The database shall clearly identify the ROWP procurement completed by the County on the Jurisdiction’s behalf under this MOU.
b. The County shall provide the Jurisdiction with the information necessary to report procurement activities in its Electronic Annual Report (EAR) to CalRecycle. This information shall be provided no later than June 1 of each year. c. The County shall provide the Jurisdiction with written status reports twice per year on all Program activities.

Such approval shall specify the total funding amount and the portion allocated to Program activities and County administrative costs. Jurisdictions are not obliged to support additional work. A Jurisdiction choosing not to support additional work shall not be grounds for terminating this MOU. The Jurisdiction is not guaranteed any benefit from additional work for which it does not contribute. b. With written approval, the County may invoice the Jurisdiction for contributions to additional projects or agreements undertaken on the Jurisdiction’s behalf to increase procurement credit or reduce the Jurisdiction’s procurement target set by CalRecycle.

2. Tasks to be Completed by the Jurisdiction
A. The Jurisdiction shall pay in full all invoices submitted by the County within forty-five (45) days of receipt.
223
4 B.

C. The Jurisdiction may authorize participation in the Program for one (1) year or for multiple consecutive calendar years, with mutual agreement from the County. A multiyear authorization shall specify the total annual contribution amount for each year covered and shall remain subject to annual adjustment of the County’s administrative cost percentage.

D. The Jurisdiction shall be responsible for completing and submitting its EAR to CalRecycle, reporting the information provided by the County.

E. The Jurisdiction shall pay any additional invoices it has approved in writing, within fortyfive (45) days of receipt, for supplemental contributions to the Program or for additional projects and agreements undertaken by the County on the Jurisdiction’s behalf.

3. Consideration
This MOU enables the continuation of the collaborative Program, jointly developed by the Jurisdiction, County, and RCD since 2021. By participating in this MOU, the Jurisdiction avoids the administrative and financial burden of creating and managing a separate contract or Program and allocating staff time, allowing the County on behalf of all the cities in San Mateo County to leverage economies of scale to reduce countywide SB 1383 procurement compliance costs.

In return, the Jurisdiction contributes funding to the Program and receives procurement credit in proportion to its contribution. This Program advances shared countywide goals by strengthening local food system resiliency, improving soil health, reducing climate impacts, and supporting long-term economic and environmental benefits across San Mateo County.

4. Relationship of Parties

E. The duty of each party to defend, hold harmless, and indemnify the other as set forth herein shall include the duty to defend as set forth in Section 2778 of the California Civil Code.

F. In the event of concurrent negligence (or intentional/reckless acts) of Jurisdiction and/or their respective officers and employees, on the one hand, and the County and/or its officers, employees, agents, and servants, on the other hand, then the liability for any and all claims for injuries or damage to persons and/or property which arise out of the terms and conditions of this MOU shall be apportioned according to the California theory of comparative fault.

BUSINESS OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HALF MOON BAY

AGENDA REPORT
For meeting of: January 20, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
VIA: Matthew Chidester, City Manager
FROM: Maggie Rodriguez, Interim City Clerk
TITLE: APPROVE CERTAIN PAST CITY COUNCIL REGULAR AND SPECIAL MEETING

MINUTES
RECOMMENDATION:

By motion, approve certain past City Council Special and Regular Minutes from prior years, as presented.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact with the approval of Minutes.

STRATEGIC ELEMENT:

This recommendation supports the Inclusive Governance Element of the Strategic Plan.

BACKGROUND:

The Assistant City Clerk has undertaken a comprehensive effort to index every video related to each item on the City Council’s agendas over the past decade. This initiative enhances accessibility by allowing staff and the public to efficiently locate and view specific topics discussed during Council meetings on the City’s website. During the course of this project, it was identified that, for reasons presently unknown, numerous sets of City Council meeting minutes from previous years had not been formally approved by the Council.

The City Council at its December 16, 2025, meeting approved the first round of missing Minutes, which have now been signed and posted to the City’s website. The second round of Minutes now needs the same approval.

A quorum of the Council is required to officially approve the records of discussion. Formal approval will enable the City Clerk’s office to incorporate these records into the permanent City Council Minute books and ensure their availability on the City’s minutes webpage.

DISCUSSION:

The Ralph M. Brown Act (California Government Code Section 54950) governs open meeting requirements and mandates that the legislative body maintain an accurate record of 228

proceedings for every meeting. In the absence of such records, there is no official documentation verifying that the Council has taken action on any items addressed during those meetings. It is important to note that video recordings do not constitute the Council’s permanent official record.

Mayor Eisen welcomed everyone to the Special Council Meeting/Priority Sessing Workshop.

City Manager Nisbet outlined the schedule and acknowledged how well the three listening sessions went.

FISCAL YEAR 2020-2021 FINANCIAL FORECAST
City Manager Nisbet introduced the financial forecast presentation, noting that this would provide important context for the priority-setting discussion. Administrative staff members Lisa Lopez and Kenneth Styles presented the City's financial forecast.

The presentation highlighted that 75% of the City's revenues come from three main sources:

Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) at approximately 40%, property tax at 20%, and sales tax at 17%. It was noted that TOT is heavily dependent on tourism, which also contributes to sales tax revenue.

The five-year forecast showed that expenditures are projected to exceed revenues, creating an operating deficit. The forecast did not include potential impacts from COVID-19, which staff indicated could result in a 5-10% decrease in revenues. For reference, during the 2009 financial crisis, major revenues decreased by approximately 9%.

The Council was informed of the City's economic uncertainty reserve, which was created to have 20% of the total operating budget allocated (currently funded at 12%). Staff recommended developing a formal policy for when the fund should be used. 354

BUSINESS OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HALF MOON BAY

AGENDA REPORT
For meeting of: January 20, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
VIA: Matthew Chidester, City Manager
FROM: Dale Leda, Interim City Engineer
Mike Burnfield, Assistant Engineer
TITLE: FRENCHMAN’S CREEK PARK – PHASE 2 PROJECT UPDATE
(CIP PROJECT NO. 1013)
______________________________________________________________________________ RECOMMENDATION:

Receive an update on the revised scope of the Frenchman’s Creek Park Improvements Project Phase II and provide direction on proposed improvements.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact associated with receiving this update.

STRATEGIC ELEMENTS:

This action supports the Infrastructure and Environment, and Healthy Communities and Public Safety Elements of the Strategic Plan.

BACKGROUND:

The Parks Master Plan, adopted by the City Council on February 5, 2019, identified Frenchman’s Creek Park as an opportunity for amenity and infrastructure improvements. In Spring 2021, new play equipment and an accessible rubberized surface were installed (Phase I) with support from the Friends of Half Moon Bay Parks and Recreation, who contributed $15,000 in fundraising.

In FY 2022-23, the City secured a reimbursable grant from the California Proposition 68 Park Bond Program in the amount of $185,672. On September 20, 2022, the City Council approved a resolution designating “Frenchman’s Creek Park Phase II” as the recipient of these grant funds and authorizing a professional services agreement for the design. At the time, the Proposition 68 funds were estimated to account for approximately 51-percent of the total budgeted funds for the project.

Phase II originally included new swings, picnic tables, a plaza, additional split rail fencing, a drinking fountain, seat walls, a bulletin board, accent planting, bike racks, trash receptacles, an ADA independent rider, and additional off-street parking, including one ADA van-accessible space.
386

The total project budget allocated for design and construction is $385,672, which includes the $185,672 from Proposition 68 grant. The consultant design costs to date are $55,798 leaving a remaining budget of $329,874.

The City advertised the project on January 24, 2025, and received seven (7) bids on February 20, 2025, with the lowest responsive and responsible bid approximately $115,000 over budget.

Upon presenting the bid findings to Council at the April 1, 2025, meeting, Council motioned that Staff reject all bids and reduce the scope of the project to better align with the grant funding for the project, potentially freeing up a portion of the budgeted funds to transfer to other important projects.

DISCUSSION:

Staff considered input given by Council on the April 1, 2025, meeting, and reduced the scope of Frenchman’s Creek Park Improvements Phase II to better align with the grant funding amount.

The proposed reduced scope includes an accessible parking stall, concrete sidewalk and curb ramp improvements, a concrete seat wall, swing set, synthetic play surfacing, and relocation of several existing surface structures within the limit of work. Staff also proposed two alternatives for the project. Additive Alternate #1 includes a drinking fountain and Additive Alternate #2 includes a tan bark picnic area and picnic table.

An updated Engineer’s Estimate for the revised scope has been prepared by City Staff with a base bid amount of $184,290, Additive Alternate #1 amount of $8,300, and Additive Alternate #2 amount of $8,540. The total estimated cost of construction including the base bid and both alternates is $201,130.

The current project funds are anticipated to be sufficient to complete the project as currently scoped and accounting for material cost increases since bidding last year. It is expected that a portion of the budgeted funds will be available for transfer to other projects following completion of the work.

CONCLUSION AND NEXT STEPS:

Staff will incorporate any additional input from Council on the revised scope of improvements, finalize project plans, and proceed with construction advertisement. Staff will return to Council with revised construction bids for contract award, with the goal of commencing with and completing construction later this year.

BUSINESS OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HALF MOON BAY

AGENDA REPORT
For meeting of: January 20, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
VIA: Matthew Chidester, City Manager
FROM: Irma Acosta, Administrative Analyst
TITLE: UPDATES ON THE RESIDENTIAL RENT STABILIZATION PROGRAM AND

RESIDENTIAL RENTAL REGISTRY PROGRAM
______________________________________________________________________________ RECOMMENDATION:

Receive an update on the City’s Residential Rent Stabilization and Residential Rental Registry Programs and provide guidance to staff regarding the future of the programs.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact with receiving this informational update.

STRATEGIC ELEMENTS:

This action supports the Healthy Communities and Public Safety, and Inclusive Governance Elements of the Strategic Plan.

BACKGROUND:

The Residential Rental Registry and Rent Stabilization programs were launched in Summer 2024 and are now in the second year of implementation. Both programs stem from City Council policy direction provided during the November 7, 2023, Study Session on tenant protections, which resulted in the adoption of Ordinance Nos. 2024- 02 (Residential Rental Registry) and 2024-04 (Residential Rent Stabilization), which are codified in Title 6 (Housing) of the Half Moon Bay Municipal Code.

During the first year of implementation, staff focused on program rollout, community outreach, compliance assistance, and establishing administrative systems to support both ordinances.

City Council received multiple updates during the initial implementation period. Staff first provided an implementation update on April 1, 2025, which focused on early compliance trends, outreach efforts, and program setup. Staff returned on May 6, 2025, with a more detailed analysis of program costs, staffing impacts, enforcement activities, and early fiscal performance. That update also outlined policy considerations related to the long-term sustainability of the Rent Stabilization and Rental Registry programs. 391

This report builds on those prior discussions and provides Council with a consolidated update as the programs move beyond initial rollout and into a more stable operational phase, including updated information on staffing impacts, and policy considerations for the upcoming registration cycle.

Residential Rental Registry Program
The Residential Rental Registry Program requires all residential rental units in Half Moon Bay to be registered annually through the City’s online registry portal (Tolemi). The registry serves as a central data collection tool to support rental market monitoring, track housing trends, and administer both the Rent Stabilization and Tenant Protection ordinances.

As of the end of the 2025 rental year, the City achieved approximately 1,586 units registered, exceeding the initial estimate of approximately 1,300 units identified at program inception.

During the first year of implementation, staff conducted extensive outreach efforts to support compliance, including mailed notices, online guidance, direct assistance to landlords, and coordination with property managers. As the program has matured, staff have identified a limited number of properties that were previously registered as rental units but are no longer operating as rentals. To date, nine properties have exited the Rental Registry due to changes in use, such as conversion to owner-occupied status or other non-rental uses. Properties that are no longer used as rentals are not subject to ongoing registration requirements and are removed from active compliance tracking.

Residential Rental Registration Fees:

Unless specifically exempted, rental properties are currently subject to a $75 fee per unit as part of the Rental Registration. Any property that has failed to register is subject to late fees and penalties. Administrative citations may be issued pursuant to follow the City’s Municipal Code Chapter 6.04.030. Certain types of affordable units, Accessory Dwelling Units and Mobilehomes are exempt from paying the Rental Registration Fees pursuant to section

6.04.030(D) of the City’s Municipal Code.

Residential Rent Stabilization Program
The Rent Stabilization ordinance was developed to prevent excessive rent increases and provide tenants with rent stability. It applies to residential rental properties with two or more units constructed before February 1, 1995, consistent with provisions of State law referred to as Costa Hawkins. For the 2025-26 rental year, rent increases are capped at 1.23%, with no more than one increase permitted within a 12-month period. The annual allowable increase is determined based on the lesser of 3%, or 80% of the annual CPI change (May to May). This calculation ensures the cap is responsive to inflation while still providing predictability and protection for tenants.

Residential Rent Stabilization Fees:

Rent-stabilized units are subject to an additional fee of $286 per unit, in addition to the $75 rental registration fee, for a total per-unit cost of $361. These fees are intended to offset the 392

administrative costs of operating the Residential Rent Stabilization Program; however, achieving full cost recovery has been challenging due to ongoing staffing, enforcement, and petition-related expenses.

For the rental year 2025-26 the City has collected approximately $79,200 in total revenue across both the programs, including residential registration fees, residential rent stabilization fees, penalties, and adjustments.

Residential Rental Programs Expenditures
At program inception, the City Council allocated funding from the Affordable Housing Fund to support implementation and administration of the Residential Rental Registry and Residential Rent Stabilization programs. No General Fund dollars have been used to administer the programs to date. As part of ongoing program operations, the City maintains a contract with the Legal Aid Society of San Mateo County to provide legal assistance services to low-income residents related to evictions, unlawful rent increases, substandard housing conditions, and other housing-related legal matters. To date, the City has expended approximately $10,000 under this agreement. The City also maintains an agreement with Tolemi for rental registry, with approximately $17,000 expended to date and a total contract amount of $25,000. The Tolemi platform supports online registrations, fee collection, compliance tracking, reporting, and overall program administration for both the Rental Registry and Rent Stabilization programs. During the September 2, 2025, Council Meeting, staff presented an amendment to the Tolemi contract to City Council. The Council approved the resolution and directed staff to work with Tolemi to revise its privacy policy. Those revisions have been completed, and the updated policy is attached to this report.

Program administration is primarily carried out by a staff Administrative Analyst and includes coordinating registrations, and responding to landlord and tenant inquiries, with enforcement and compliance activities supported by the Community Preservation Specialist. Based on current workload levels, staffing associated with the program administration and compliance activities represents a cost of approximately $10,000 to date during the current rental year.

The City conducts ongoing community outreach in support of the Rent Stabilization and Rental Registry programs, including tenant education workshops held in partnership with Legal Aid of San Mateo County, Project Sentinel, and HIP Housing. Outreach efforts continue in 2025–26, though at a reduced level compared to the initial program rollout. Current activities include targeted notices, compliance reminders, and ongoing landlord and tenant assistance. As the program matures, reliance on mailed notices is expected to continue decreasing as online systems and familiarity with program requirements increase. Overall, workload levels fluctuate based on registration cycles, enforcement needs, and petition activity.

As compliance efforts continue, the remaining unregistered units require direct follow-up by the Community Preservation Specialist, including enforcement coordination, property owner outreach, and issuance of administrative citations as necessary. These activities represent an ongoing workload component in the current rental year. The City continues to administer the rent stabilization petition process as needed. While petition volume has remained limited to date, each petition requires staff coordination and, when applicable, engagement of a third393

party hearing officer. Associated costs remain variable and are expected to increase over time as program awareness grows.

To date, the City has expended approximately $257,000 on implementation and administration of the Rental Registry and Rent Stabilization programs. As previously reported, total program costs for the 2024–25 rental year were approximately $220,000, reflecting first-year startup activities, system implementation, community outreach, enforcement, petitions, and staffing.

Additional expenditures have been incurred during the current 2025–26 rental year as the programs transition from initial rollout into steady-state operations. Since program launch, the City has collected approximately $174,000 in total program-related revenue from registration fees, rent stabilization fees, penalties, and adjustments. When compared to total program expenditures to date, this reflects an overall cost recovery of approximately 68%. This comparison is provided for scale, noting that initial implementation costs were front-loaded and that ongoing operations are now moving into a more stable administrative phase.

Going forward, if current staff workload/contracting requirements and costs hold, the programs could be sustained without additional costs to the City’s General or Affordable Housing Funds.

Rental Programs Impacts
Given that the Residential Rent Stabilization and Residential Rental Registry programs are still relatively new, it is difficult to quantify their direct impact at this time. However Legal Aid Society of San Mateo County has shared that during calendar year 2025 it opened 15 cases for Half Moon Bay residents involving serious threats to housing stability, including eviction. In eight of those cases, Legal Aid was able to prevent eviction and help tenants remain in their homes. In two cases, tenants were assisted with filing court responses in eviction proceedings, and in five cases, tenants received legal counseling and advice to help them navigate their housing-related legal issues. In addition, local service providers report that they have observed a general decrease in eviction notices within Half Moon Bay, which they attribute in part to increased tenant awareness, education efforts, and the availability of local tenant protections and legal resources. Programs of this nature are designed to offer immediate relief of acute issues like unlawful evictions and unreasonably high rental increases. Longer term impacts including maintaining a lower cost of living and reduced housing instability can only be evaluated after many years of program operations.

DISCUSSION:

This section outlines key policy considerations and administrative issues related to the City’s Residential Rent Stabilization and Residential Rent Registry programs to provide City Council with a clear overview of current operations and policy decision points. While adopted as separate ordinances, the programs operate through shared systems, platforms, and administrative resources. Accordingly, the policy considerations presented apply to both programs.
394

Policy Considerations
As the programs transition into ongoing operations, this is an appropriate time to review their overall performance, fiscal considerations, and administrative demands. The policy considerations outlined below are intended to support Council’s evaluation of the next potential steps. While the discussion focuses primarily on Rent Stabilization, the Rental Registry is referenced throughout due to shared infrastructure and costs.

Option 1 – Program Elimination:

One potential policy is the repeal of both the Residential Rent Stabilization Ordinance and the Residential Rental Registry Program. Under this option, the City would discontinue all local residential rent regulation and rental unit registration requirements. Elimination of both programs would remove ongoing administrative obligations for landlords, including annual unit registration, fee payments, rent increase reporting, and compliance monitoring. From an administrative standpoint, this option would eliminate continued program staffing, enforcement, and petition processing costs. However, repeal would create an administrative workload associated with program wind-down activities, including responding to landlord and tenant inquiries and managing data retention.

With the repeal of both ordinances, landlords would no longer be subject to the City’s local rent stabilization and tenant protection requirements, and tenants would no longer receive the corresponding local protections. However, the City’s Tenant Protection Ordinance No. C-2024- 03 codified in 2 Municipal Code Chapter 6.08 would remain in effect and continue to provide local just cause eviction protections for many tenants. In addition, state law protections under the Tenant Protection Act of 2019 (AB 1482) would continue to apply to qualifying units, including statewide rent increase limitations and just cause eviction protections. This option represents a significant policy shift away from local rental housing regulation and rental market oversight. While it would eliminate ongoing program costs, it would also remove the City’s ability to monitor local residential rental market conditions through the registry and provide local rent stabilization protections beyond those provided by state law.

Option 2 – Partial Program Elimination:

An alternative policy direction would be to repeal the Residential Rent Stabilization Ordinance while retaining the Residential Rental Registry program. Under this approach, the City would discontinue local rent regulation while preserving a rental housing data system that supports informed housing policy, long-range planning, and ongoing monitoring of local rental market conditions. Maintaining the Rental Registry would preserve the City’s primary mechanism for collecting and maintaining up-to-date information on the local rental housing stock, including unit counts, ownership information, and market trends. This data supports preparation of Housing Element updates, RHNA compliance, grant applications, evaluation of housing needs, and future policy development. Annual unit registration and payment of the registration fee would remain required for all landlords.

If the Residential Rent Stabilization Ordinance is repealed, affected tenants would continue to receive baseline protections under state law through Tenant Protection Act (TPA) of 2019, 395

commonly referred to as AB 1482, which limits annual rent increases to five percent plus CPI, not to exceed ten percent in any 12-month period. In addition, the City’s Tenant Protections Ordinance (Municipal Code Chapter 6.08) would remain in effect and continue to provide just cause eviction protections for many tenants. Staff is not currently recommending any changes to Chapter 6.08.

Under this option, clearly communicating the rationale behind retaining the Registry while removing the rent stabilization measures and explaining how state law continues to offer a baseline of tenant protections will be essential to minimizing confusion for tenants and landlords.

Option 3 – Retention of Programs:

Under this option, the City would continue to operate both the Residential Rent Stabilization and Residential Rental Registry programs. This approach would allow the City to continue evaluating program performance over time as additional data is collected and tenant and landlord engagement evolves.

Retaining both programs would preserve the City’s full local rental housing framework, including rent increase limitations, tenant protections, the petition process, and the rental housing data system. The Registry would continue to support monitoring of rental market conditions, tracking housing trends, and informing future housing policy. This option would maintain existing administrative processes, including the annual registration cycle, compliance monitoring, enforcement activities, and petition administration. As the program matures, staff anticipate that continued refinement of internal procedures and outreach efforts may help improve efficiency over time.

CONCLUSION:

As the City continues to administer its Residential Rent Stabilization and Residential Rental Registry programs, staff have developed a clearer understanding of both the policy benefits and the operational considerations associated with these efforts. The programs have strengthened tenant protections and improved the City’s understanding of local rental market conditions, while also requiring sustained administrative capacity, compliance monitoring, and fiscal oversight.

Looking ahead, continued evaluation of administrative capacity, fiscal considerations, and community feedback will be important as the City considers how these programs may evolve over time. Any potential modifications would need to balance housing stability goals with operational efficiency and financial sustainability. Significant changes to either program would require public outreach, legal review, and amendments to the Municipal Code, consistent with the same legislative process used for adoption. Clear direction from the City Council will help guide a thoughtful and measured approach moving forward.
