Subject: Comments on Business Session 2 - January 21, 2025 City Council Meeting A little late but Happy New Year to everyone. And congratulations on ordering up great weather for the AMEX!
I would like to address this comment to Business Session 2, Resolution 2025-001. Thank you for allowing STVRs to temporarily house additional people due to the wildfires. What I would like to know is if you could add into the resolution that price gouging will not be tolerated by the City and increases should be capped either by State recommendations or by your recommendations that could allow for increases commensurate with the additional number of people housed in the STVR.
The STVRs will incur more "wear and tear" so that some increase in rent should be expected. For example, for every person above the maximum cap, the increase should be, for example, 5% more, per person, beyond the rent charged today.
I do not have a sense of what the percentage should be, but I know that Monika, the most knowledgeable on the staff on STVRs, could probably determine what that should be.
Thank you for your consideration!
P.S. We will be implementing shortly LQMS WEB students (Where Everyone Belongs) coming to Truman as Read With Me volunteers, first with the Kindergarten students and then expanding to upper grades in the future.
