APPLICATION FOR APPOINTMENT TO THE PASADENA RENTAL HOUSING BOARD

10. Describe your relevant life experience, professional training, and/or education in the following areas: Housing/Housing Justice/Landlord Tenant Relationships/Real Estate:

I have worked in the field of affordable housing, homeless services, landlord-tenant policy and advocacy for 18 years, both as non-profit staff and as a volunteer. I currently work for Tenants Together as the Southern California Regional Coordinator. Tenants Together is a statewide coalition of local tenant organizations dedicated to defending and advancing the rights of California tenants to safe, decent, and affordable housing. I am also a volunteer member- organizer with the Pasadena Tenants Union and have been since I joined in 2017 following my own no-fault eviction. In 2017 there was no legal barrier to a landlord evicting anyone for any reason with a 60-day notice. In my case, the landlord told me explicitly that he needed me out so he could do a little remodeling and double the rent. I was without my own permanent housing for 5 months before I relocated to where I live today.

In my time working in the Pasadena Tenants Union and for Tenants Together I have consulted with hundreds of tenants about their situations and helped many dozens of tenants save their housing from attempted illegal evictions, illegal lockouts, illegal rent increases. I have accompanied tenants to eviction court, helped them fill out answers to their unlawful detainer summonses, served papers on landlords, and intervened between tenants and landlords to negotiate a positive outcome. I have witnessed the horrific habitability issues and harassment that tenants often must endure. I have also been involved in a great many cases in which a person's home could not be saved.

I was a key architect and leader in the campaign to pass Measure H. I gathered close to 500 signatures, raised several hundred thousand dollars, and walked door-to-door every week for over a year. I spoke to hundreds of Pasadena residents—tenants, homeowners, and landlords— about the crisis facing renters in Pasadena. Every conversation was respectful, insofar as it was within my power to make it so, even when we disagreed on some things. I learned an incredible amount about our city and the people who live here.

11. How would you add value to the Pasadena Rental Housing Board? The value I will bring to the Pasadena Rental Housing Board is chiefly the experience I have described above. In addition to what I've already written, I have worked with many other cities across California in their efforts to pass rent control and just cause through their city councils (specifically in Santa Ana, Bell Gardens, and Oxnard, as well as related tenant issues in Los Angeles City and County). I have already established relationships with subject matter experts who have led rent programs in West Hollywood, Santa Monica, Berkeley, and San Francisco.

While I am not a lawyer, I have a deep familiarity with landlord-tenant law in California and LA County, and especially with the details of Article XVIII of the Pasadena City Charter given the work I have done with the Pasadena Tenants Union to craft the Article, educate the public about it, and pass it at the ballot box.

12. What do you view are the primary objectives and goals of the Pasadena Rental Housing Board?
The primary objectives of the Pasadena Rental Housing Board (PRHB) is to carry out the directives in Article XVIII of the Pasadena City Charter, including hiring staff for the new department, creating and overseeing the rental registry, set annual rent adjustment limits, hear appeals from landlords and tenants, and set and manage the budget, including establishing and collecting the fees that will fund the program.

One early objective of the PRHB is to establish positive working relationships with other city departments so that the PRHB fits seamlessly into the current city structure. This will take strong interpersonal skills which I bring to this work.

13. How would you help to achieve these objectives and goals? I am a solution-oriented person. I will use my experience as a community leader (previously, as a pastor, and currently, as a city commissioner, organizer, and advocate) to ensure that the Rental Housing Board is an institution that people trust to render fair decisions. I will also use my leadership experience to build strong relationships between the Board, City Councilmembers, and the already existing city departments (Planning, Housing, City Manager, HR, etc.).

Key to implementing our objectives will be developing strong working relationships amongst the members of the Rental Housing Board. We will also need to learn from other cities, consider unique circumstances in Pasadena, hear from the public, and collaborate with city department and other city organizations.

#7 Qualifications
As an on-site apartment manager for 5 years (2015-2021) I strived to keep a balance between the management company and the tenant. Example: It was essential to be a good listener because It determines how much the expense would be; was the tenants problem an emergency or could their problem be solved during the week? I used my judgement along with my expertise as far as electrical or construction work to be done and went to see what the problem was myself.

I hired the most reliable and professional people at a fair price to do the job needed.I always called on them first and repeatedly. They get to know the quirks of the building. • Treat the tenants with respect and courtesy.

Keep the building filled with tenants.

The common areas should reflect the respect the owner has for the building and the tenants. To do so routine inspections should be done of the common areas, the parking area and the landscaping/
Have a set scheduled maintenance: for the gardener, trees trimmer, bug sprayer, laundry room kept clear and tidy, all of this shows the tenant the rent they are paying is worth it. #1^
(.
#8 Objectives
Educating both tenants and landlords in clear practical, not political, language the guidelines to protect tenants as covered by
using the City of Pasadena's Fair and Equitable Housing Charter Amendment aka Measure H.

If conflicts arise, using the same reference material, the City of Pasadena's Fair and Equitable Housing Charter Amendment sort out situations that arise. -^\z
#9 Achieve Objectives
Listening to both sides.

Rent increases cannot be designated as "Reviewing property expenses have increased therefore we find it necessary to increase your rental rate." When the tenant sees that the common areas are no longer cleaned, requests for repairs go unheeded or done haphazardly, the reason for the rental increase seems unfounded. • Therefore, I would like to see the landlord or management firm list those exact "expenses for property" on the rental increase notice, giving it credence. u

Raised $10,000 which bought the Seltzer twins a portable breathing machine so they could travel even though they both suffered with cystic fibrosis.

Raised $5,000 donated to Lincoln Training Center, an entity that trains and places the handicapped into responsible working situations.

Raised $15,000 for KAIROS, a Chinese US based organization that sends Bibles and Christian literature to China directly.
$1,000 to Hill Avenue Grace's Food Shelf, which distributed packaged food to the homeless every Saturday morning. The Food Shelf remains open and active to this very day.
• $3/000 was raised for Concordia School in Granada Hills in order for them to purchase playground equipment.
$1,000 was given to the Neighborhood Music School in Boyle Heights to buy instruments for underprivileged children wanting to team how to play music.

MAKE A DIFFERENCE DAY - 2015 Jack learned of this event that took place every October in Monrovia, giving people a chance to make a difference in the world and decided Thrivent should be involved. He called every Thrivent member and asked them to form Action Teams. 21 Action Teams were created through which $5,250 was raised.

He oversaw a small group of volunteers, sometimes he worked solo over a six-week period to have it ready for the 100 children who attended over a one-week immersion situation where they dressed in Biblical costumes, ate food of that era and learned crafts, songs and enjoyed the spirit of fellowship.

Jack also taught one of the crafts each year, from demonstrating the Roman keystone to being a Roman soldier.

He dismantled the sets he built, stored it in such a way that each year certain items could be re-used the following year, while at the same time he could create new and more interesting buildings, like a Coliseum where all eventually gathered to sing and end the evening.
