2:04If you are online, please click the raise hand button on Zoom or press start on your phone.
2:16Uh good evening, uh, Chairma and uh Bias Cox and members of the committee.
2:22Uh my name is David Tang.
2:23I've lived in uh Mountain View for 10 years at in a CSFRA protected uh home.
2:29And uh before that I was uh uh Section 8 landlord.
2:32Uh the just cause protections in this ordinance have mattered to my family in 21 and 23.
2:39The division staff uh pointed us to those protections, and uh those protections held, and we're very grateful.
2:46Um tonight I just wanted to point to a pattern regarding the division's data, and perhaps it's uh I hope it could be helpful.
2:55Uh the September 25, 2025 annual update reports that last year, tenants contacted the division 613 times.
3:04Of those contacts, 44 became filed petitions.
3:0821 reached a resolution through hearing or settlement.
3:12That means out of 613 concerns, only 21 reached resolution, about 3%.
3:19Uh the cases that do get filed are becoming more complex.
3:23That seems to be the trend.
3:25In uh 2021, 2022, 13% petitions raised multiple issues.
3:30By 24-25, it was 68%.
3:34So there's a story uh about planes in World War II that came back from missions with bullet holes.
3:40The first instinct was to plug the the bullet holes and armor them.
3:44And uh there's an engineer by the name of Abraham Wald, who realized that it was actually backwards.
3:50You want to armor the areas where there's no bullet holes because that's those are the planes that are that are missing.
3:57Uh and so in my in my perspective, the missing data uh are are the problem here.
4:05The 21 resolved petitions are the planes that never came back.
4:09Um sorry, the 21 reserve resolved petitions are the planes that did come back, and the uh missing evidence in the 569 tenant contacts that never came back became petitions.
4:22That I'm sorry, that never became petitions are the ones that uh that should be uh investigated and uh and checked out.
4:29And so within the three percent who do reach the resolution, the division's data shows uh what I believe to be further warning signs, in my opinion.
4:38Um in the 620 Alamo Court decision issued September 1st, 2025.
4:44The landlord offered uh 73 per month for loss of pool parking storage.
4:49The hearing officer found the correct reduction was 352, almost five times higher.
5:00So that gap matters uh because in April 2024, this committee received staff research on structured rent reduction methods uh used in other jurisdictions, uh, but declined to adopt binding valuation guidelines.
5:09Uh even winning does not always end the burden.
5:12And uh, I see I'm almost running out of time here, but I'm raising here.
5:22You are able to also send an email to us via the seeing no other public comments.
5:36We will now move on to agenda item 5.1 fiscal year 2026-27 recommended budgets for community stabilization Fair Red Act and Mobile Home Rent Stabilization Ordinance.
5:46Public comments will occur after the presentation item and committee questions.
5:49We invite you to submit a speaker card now.
5:51If you know you would like to speak on this item during public comment.
5:54We start with that presentation.
5:57Um good evening, Chair and members of the rental housing committee.
6:01Um tonight I will be presenting a draft budget for both the CSFRA and the MHRSO rent stabilization programs for the upcoming fiscal year 2627.
6:12And the purpose for tonight is for the rental housing committee to review and provide feedback on these recommended budgets.
6:19And they are scheduled for adoption at the next meeting of the rental housing committee.
6:27The CSFRA section 1709 as well as the MHRSO section 46.9, empower the rental housing committee to establish a budget and fee to recover the costs for the reasonable and necessary implementation of the C CRA and MHRSO, and to finance its expenses and to charge fees.
6:52The outline for this evening is to first present the recommended budgets, including expenditures and reserves as well as revenues and fees, and this will be followed by public input and directions from the committee members.
7:06The next step uh, as I just told you, it would be to bring the budget back in May so the rental housing committee can adopt the budget.
7:15Fiscal year 2626 is going to be the 10th year of operations for the rent stabilization program.
7:23Um the CSFRA states that the rental housing committee is an integral part of the city, but performs its duties independently of the city council, city manager, and city attorney unless requested.
7:38This includes setting its own budget.
7:41The rental housing committee previously decided to use the city's infrastructure for its operations.
7:48Um reiterating the key program areas of the rent stabilization program.
7:54They are listed here on the slide.
8:03The staff continuously um evaluates effective and efficient methods for administering the program to further the goals of the CSFRA and MHRSO.
8:14Um we're reflecting the budget reflects staff's best estimates, taking into account the results of adopted budgets previously, forward looking needs for operational costs, which are mostly ongoing annual expenses.
8:31We will first discuss the CSFRE budget.
8:34Um this slide represents the uh budget adopted by the rental housing committee for 2526 this year.
8:43The comp uh compared with the estimated actuals for this year, and then this out the outline for the recommendation uh for the budget of 2627.
8:56As you can see, for 2627, the recommended revenues are about 2.062 mil million or about 192,000 higher than the budget for this fiscal year.
9:12The total recommended expenditures are about 2.6 million, which is about 1.1 million uh 1,108 dollars higher than this fiscal year.
9:26And the estimated actuals for this year, um the revenues are estimated at about 1.84 million, which is about $30,000 below budget, and the total operating expenses are estimated at $2.11 million, which is about $480,000 less than budgeted.
9:49Um this is due to as a result of salary savings and reduced hearing officer costs due to a lower number of petitions.
10:00These savings are not expected to continue in the next fiscal year.
10:04The end balance is trending downwards.
10:35The recommended budget includes full staffing of the division expected in 26-27, resulting in no further salary savings, and a somewhat lower level of professional services expenditures.
10:55Staff will also continue to identify opportunities to streamline program administration, including leverage leveraging technology where feasible.
14:47This would result in an annual fee of $142 per unit or $11.92 per month.
15:00Notably, the fee levels are trending upward because the ending balance and therefore the beginning balance of the next fiscal year are trending downward.
15:07And the beginning balance helps offset costs and reduces fees.
15:11There are options that can be evaluated by the rental housing committee and implemented to develop future budgets to help mitigate the fee level increase over time.
15:22First, actual expenditures, as we have seen this year, might come in lower than the budget for various reasons.
15:30One reason might be that after the fiscal year 26-27, we may no longer need temp personnel for the one-time utility petition process.
15:41Another component of the decipit and estimated balance depends on the reserve amount, and the rental housing committee could determine to the to change the level of the reserve amount.
15:57Next, we are going to move to the MHRSO budget.
16:02As we all know, on March 25th, 2025, the City Council adopted amendments that changed the AGA, but also supported lowering the space rental fee by 50% compared to fiscal year 24-25.
16:18And to facilitate the 50% reduction, a combination of this year's end balance and a subsidy of city funds are recommended.
16:28Going forward, these numbers may fluctuate as well.
16:35So this chart shows that the recommended revenues are 225,300, which is about $2,000 higher than this year's budget, and the recommended expenditures are about $281,000, which is about $19,000 lower than this fiscal year.
16:58And the estimated actuals for this fiscal year are revenues estimated at $226,000, which is about $3,000 higher than the budget.
17:11And the total operating expenditures are estimated at about $274,000, which is about $25,000 lower than budgeted.
17:22And the ending balance is estimated at $438,000, which is about $38,000 higher than the budget.
18:04The third party professional services is estimated to be $49,000, which is at the same level as this fiscal year.
18:15And what also stays at the same level is the information technology budget.
18:42Then the expenditures for general liability, compensated absences and equipment replacements, is about $8,840.
18:54The reserves are 20% of the operating expenditures, an amount about $56,000.
19:04Again, to date, no reserves have been used.
19:10Again, explaining why the space rental fee is subsidized by money from the city general fund.
19:21And that leads to a proposed annual fee of $140 per year or $11.83 per month, which is the same level as last year.
19:50Taking into account the review and feedback we receive from the Rental Housing Committee.
20:00And as we told you before, uh the MHRZO budget is supplemented by $50,000 this year.
20:05Once they are adopted at the next rental housing committee, they will be forwarded to the finance department for incorporation in the citywide budget process.
20:25That was the end of the presentation, and happy to answer any questions.
20:34Yeah, thank you very much for the report.
20:36You might have said this, and if you did, I'm sorry, and I missed it.
20:40The the difference in 2526 between the adopted budget and the actuals is particularly uh uh disparate in operating expenses.
20:51And uh could you could you characterize that uh difference?
20:58Do you mean the for 2526 the budget versus the estimated actuals?
21:04Yeah, um that is uh related uh mostly to a reduced level of hearing officer services.
21:12We have quite a considerable um lowering of the file petitions this year.
21:21Uh and I I thought I heard that.
21:23And then um the 2627 budget it uh is more or less in line with the adopted budget for this past year.
21:32And so is the staff recommending that because you you want to make sure that this wasn't an anomaly and that you want to go back to trend.
21:42Yeah, we don't want to run out of budget for hearing officers when and we cannot control the number of petitions that are being filed or appeals.
21:52Um and those numbers influence the hearing officer costs, but also legal costs.
21:59And so then, for example, if we're here a year from now and if we see a similar uh lowering of the expectation, let's say, then we might evaluate is this a pattern versus a blip?
22:18Uh yes, thanks for the answer to the question that I submitted about um city administration in respect to operations and actuals.
22:29Um and yeah, I raised the issue about the fact that there was uh uh increase 16 percent increase uh this year compared to the previous year.
22:42And you uh uh correctly noted as the reason comes because this is a five-year running average, and that you know there have been large increases in the last two years.
22:53I took your numbers and I went back and calculated them at 18 and 24 percent.
22:58So they're they are large numbers, they're larger than the CPI.
23:02And uh, but I mean, you know, I I you explained to me that the reason this is this way is because you know, this we we're up for 15 percent out of you know, just city administration in general, right?
23:17And so those costs are imposed back on us without our decision.
23:22That's the I mean the city makes the decision about what the administration budget is, and then we just pay 15% of it.
23:30Um so the 15% is not related to the budget, but to actual expenditures over the last five years.
23:38Um but then um you know, I mean I look at it and I I think your answer is a mathematically correct answer, but it still raises the question, for instance, like why did it go up 24% last year?
23:51I mean, that's something where we would have to go back to the city and ask them why we made the expenses.
23:57The CSFRA budget uh made the expenses.
24:01Oh so why did our expenses go up yes in the past years?
24:06Uh we hired more staff in the past years.
24:09We had a more robust registration and fee payment um process was adopted a couple of years ago, so we needed staffing for that.
24:19Um that increased the actual expenditures.
24:24Okay, thanks for the clarification on that.
24:26Yeah, I think that those oh, I won't make comments.
24:29This is only for questions.
24:30Okay, um, that's the end of my questions.
24:36My turn for some questions.
24:38Uh for the third party professional services.
24:40We have incorporated the updated hearing officer compensation schedule, correct?
24:47Um we did that late last year.
24:49So that went into effect in January.
24:52So every year in January, we just asked add the um COPA uh COLA.
25:00Okay, but there's otherwise there would be no change in any other thing in the budget.
25:04For the capital outlay, I was wondering, is that still uh pending staffing availability or is there other reasons for it?
25:10Yeah, so we still have that amount available for us, but at this moment, because we have uh such staffing vacancy, there is just no time to spend on further building out the database in further features that we would like to have.
25:25The basics are there though.
25:26So can you elaborate on what is remaining?
25:30Um, you know, every year we think about how we can further uh automate certain processes.
25:36Like we I think this year, and Andrea can speak better on this than me.
25:41Like we build an automatic emails sent to landlords when they haven't paid the fee on time or when they haven't registered.
25:48So we try to automate it more and more and more.
25:51And then the other point that we haven't gotten to is how you can file petitions through the database.
25:59Uh given that number is the same year of a year, do we expect that number to actually change once we get staffing on it?
26:04Or uh yes, yes, because then we have to pay for the further software development of features that we would like to have.
26:12And my final question is regarding the MHRSO 50% fee reduction.
26:16It was mentioned that contributions might fluctuate.
26:18Is that because we set the we target what the fee should be and the city pays, or is because the city might choose to not pay enough to make the 50%?
26:26Um next year's the total amount of the budget might be different.
26:30And then if we then have to recalculate what 50% is, then we have to uh collaborate with finance how much the city will contribute uh to the fee level.
26:40If the city does not contribute enough, does that mean the 50% lifts, or does that mean it has to be brought back to us or council?
26:47Um if it's not the same amount as what we had this year, we collaborate with finance to see what what the exact number is that will be subsidized.
26:59Any other questions from any other committee member?
27:02See none, we will now move on to public comment.
27:07Person public comments will be called to speak first.
27:09Please submit a blue speaker card if you wish to do so.
27:11If you are a member of the public online, please click the raise hand button on Zoom or press start on your phone.
27:21If you don't, you you can come up if you would like to comment.
27:27Uh the question I have is uh do you have any um data or uh potential reasons why the petitions went down in the last year?
27:38And uh the other part of the question is on average, do you have a number of how much these petitions costs?
27:45That's my two questions we cannot do a back and forth in public comments, so if you would like to provide your quick questions now, you can do so, and then we just refer to staff.
27:57Yeah, okay, those are my two questions.
28:01See no other comments.
28:03Would staff like to do a crack on any of those questions.
28:14Would you like to answer any of the questions or we can do it offline?
28:17Um we will do that later.
28:18We don't have that data in front of us, right?
28:23All right, we'll bring it back to community deliberations and feedback.
28:28Does anyone want to say anything?
28:31No motion is required for this.
28:32This is just a discussion for direction.
28:38Um I just wanted to mention during the uh pre-consultation, I had asked a few questions that I thought were answered well by staff, and so I just wanted to uh mention some of them for the record.
28:49I mean, one of the things is on operating expenses.
28:52I had asked about the increase uh in staffing costs, and I was told that that's all due to cost of living increases.
29:00I went back and recalculated that uh cost of living increases, and they're within the range of the CPI, and so that's you know, completely, you know, um perfect.
29:11Um I asked about increase in the general operating costs and um uh why there were increasing training costs, and was told that this is a for uh succession training, which is perfectly reasonable.
29:26And um uh we just talked back and forth a little bit about the 16% increase on city administration, and thanks for that explanation right now.
29:36I mean, it's perfectly it it seems like a large number, but it's perfectly reasonable given what we're trying to do there.
29:42I mean, it was very clear that when the CSF ARA was originally passed, um, we had a much larger problem with collecting the fees and also a uh big problem even registering the units.
30:00And so I mean, you know, that's something that has to be done in order for us to have a well-working system, and so you know, recovering the cost for that is um not only perfectly justifiable, but it really is a responsibility.
30:12So thanks for the clarity on that.
30:15And also, you know, the idea that you know the the 10% increase this year over last year is due to what you just mentioned.
30:24That um that you know the initial uh initially the the uh recovery fees for the CSFRA were set high because of the uncertainty of what would be happening going forward.
30:36That allowed us to have a beginning balance that was large and could be passed on year to year uh for you know almost 10 years now, but it's run out now, and so now we need to we need to charge year for year, and the good thing is that even after 10 years, um the fee, although it's higher this year, it's still not uh it's still lower than the initial fee.
31:00And so I mean, you know, that's um that's the right way to handle that.
31:04So thank you for that.
31:06And you know, as far as the those are all comments on the CSFRA, uh MHRSO.
31:12Um, you know, it's just works swimmingly, you know, people always the landlords pay the fees.
31:18There are very few complaints uh brought back in hearing officers, and so it's just um as my one of my original computer science professors said it's a lead pipe cinch, and so nothing more to said on that.
31:31So thank you all for helping me understand this stuff in detail, and thanks for doing a great job, staff.
31:40Anyone else would like to make a comment?
31:50Seeing no other interest in discussion, I think.
31:57We can close the item.
31:59I thank staff for presenting it.
32:00I think we're doing fine budget-wise, and this is it's gonna be good for at least the next year.
32:08We will now move on to agenda item 5.2 adoption of the annual general adjustment of the CSFRA and MHRSO rent for 2026-27.
32:16Public comment worker after the presentation.
32:18Item and committee questions.
32:19We invite you to submit a speaker card now.
32:21If you know you would like to speak on this item during public comment, we will begin with staff presentation.
32:28Um, as we do every year, um, the rental housing committee um is to review and adopt a resolution to set the annual general adjustment of rent under the CSFRA and the MHRSO for the period starting in September 1, 2026.
32:48And August 31st, 2027, CSFRA AGA of 2.5%, and the MHRSO fee of 1.5%.
33:02Um the following sections of the C SFRA and the MHRSO um dictate that the rental housing committee will be announcing the amount of the AGA um effective September of each year.
33:17Um the CSFRA annual general adjustment of rent is the percentage by which the rent for existing tenancies in covered rental units may be increased each year for 100% of the CPIU of the San Francisco Bay Area.
33:34It can only be one increase per 12 months, and it's kept with a floor of 2% and a ceiling of 5%.
33:43The MHRSO was changed by council in 2025, and the percentage by which the rent of existing tenancy in covered units may be increased each year by 60 percent of the CPIU San Francisco area, one increase per 12 months with uh no floor and a ceiling of 3%.
34:10Um in the original CSFRA, it refers to the San Francisco Oakland Hayward CPIU index.
34:19Um but since that no longer exists, the rental housing committee changed that to the San Francisco area.
34:26Um the CSFRA also mentions that the annual CPI of March needs to be used, but again, that does not exist.
34:34So the rental housing committee had a choice between February or April and chose February.
34:43Um MHRSO, we're using the San Francisco area and the annual CPI ending in February of each year.
34:53Um the calculation is as follows.
35:20And again, this is effective from September of 26 till August 31st, 27.
35:26Landlords need to uh submit a written 30-day notice of the rent increase.
35:32The property must be in substantial compliance with the CSFRA or the MHRSO, and a required information sheet as provided by the city must be given with the rent increase notice.
35:47So for today, uh we request the rental housing committee to adopt a resolution adopting the annual general adjustment of rent for September 1st, 26 till August 31st, 27, of 202.5% for the CSFRA and 1.5% for the MHR.
36:08So this ends the presentation.
36:13We move on to questions from committee members.
36:15Any committee member.
36:19Just to clarify the typo on the slides.
36:29Okay, just correcting the slides.
36:33But the numbers are correct.
36:36Anyone else would like to give a question?
36:38No questions, we'll move on to public comment.
36:40In-person public comments would be called to speak first.
36:43Online commons would be called second.
36:44Any member of the public wishing to provide virtual comment would please look at the raised hand button on Zoom for starting on your phone.
36:51If you're in person, please submit a blue speaker card.
36:58Is there somewhere in the uh uh the regulation or the website where it defines uh what substantial compliance is I can answer that quickly?
37:09It's the regulations.
37:13And the other thing is um it says that the landlord may not be able to raise the rents unless they are in substantial compliance.
37:24However, the burden is still on the uh tenant to file that petition.
37:30Is it is that correct?
37:31There's nothing automatic about that.
37:44Yeah, I was uh just playing observing, but I do have uh one comment.
37:49Because uh we were talking about the uh the increase of uh rent for current tenants.
37:54My uh concern is um how are we going to also make this uh cost effective for new tenants, folks coming in and um coming to this uh new housing environment?
38:05So that's my biggest concern as far as like you know making uh the city more expensive for folks who aren't living here and who do want to live here and how this is gonna address that.
38:21All right, that closes public comment.
38:23We'll bring it back to the committee for discussion.
38:25Are this is there any discussion from committee members or else a motion is in order.
38:36Yes, I'd like to make a motion to uh adopt the annual general adjustment of the CSF for E and M H R S O Ranford 2026 and 2027.
38:49Should ever read the whole recommendation.
38:56Okay, so that is a motion to accept the staff recommendation made by Vice Rog, seconded by my member Brown.
39:02Is there any discussion on the motion?
39:06Uh seeing none, we'll go out to the vote.
39:16Motion passes unanimously.
39:19We move on to item 5.3, annual election of a rental housing committee chair and vice chair.
39:25Public comment will occur after the presentation item and committee questions.
39:31Um year goes by really quick.
39:34Um, so today we'll have to nominate and elect one member of the rental housing committee to serve as a chairperson and another member as a vice chairperson for the annual term from May 26th until the end of April 2027.
39:52Um for background information.
39:55Here are the sections in the CSFRA that stipulate that annually a new chair and vice chair will be elected.
40:05And it also describes the roles and responsibilities of the chair and the vice chair in chapter three of the rec uh of the CSFRE regulations.
40:20Please go ahead and uh nominate and elect a chair and a vice chair.
40:28Because we have to do this still in process order, we will move on first with questions from committee members.
40:35Are there any members of the committee who would like to give a question on this topic?
40:42Seeing none, we move on to public comment.
40:45Are there any members of the public who wish to give comment on this item for election of a vice chair and chair?
40:51Seeing none, we will bring it back to the committee for deliberations and feedback.
40:57I believe staff would like this to be in one big motion rather than two.
41:05Okay, I guess for purposes of structure, we'll start with chair.
41:10Are there any members of the committee who would like to nominate or self-nominate themselves to be chair for starting May?
41:18I'd like to nominate Vice Chair Robert Cox to serve as chair.
41:23Whether he likes to or not.
41:26We're doing chairman rules here, so we're not doing that latter portion, but would vice chair coxcription.
41:32Um I would gladly accept uh committee member Brown's uh nomination.
41:40Are there any other members of the committee who would like to nominate or self-nominate for the position of chair?
41:48Seeing none, we will move on to nominations or self-nominations for vice chair, uh member Brown.
41:56I would like to nominate first.
41:58You have to be I I do have to unmute, yes.
42:00Uh I'd like to nominate member Statsop to be vice chair.
42:06Also, whether she'd like to or not.
42:09Does the does the member accept?
42:15Are there any other nominations or sub-nominations for the position of vice chair?
42:21Seeing none, I guess we will need to formally make a motion.
42:26Uh member Brown, would you like to make the motion?
42:29I move to elect vice chair Robert Cox to be chair and member stats as hope to serve as vice chair for the year 26-27.
42:41That is a motion made by member Brown, seconded by Member Balch.
42:45Are there any discussion other discussion on this motion?
42:52Uh I can't believe it's been 10 years.
43:00In that case, uh Vice Chair Cox, would you like to say something?
43:05In that case, we'll I know, right?
43:07You're not recognized.
43:17Motion passes unanimously.
43:19All right, then that will go into effect in the next meeting.
43:22Until then, I'm still chair, so item six.
43:27We'll move on to item 6.1 in particular, which is upcoming workshops and help and you guys ready.
43:35Are you ready for that presentation?
43:40Um I'm taking over Andrea's um job here for a minute.
43:44Just wanting to give an overview of the office hours and workshops.
43:48As you can see in May, we have a nice lineup uh again for uh workshops.
43:55Um are just virtual, others are in person.
44:00Um, and we keep um informing um all interested parties through postcards and or newsletters and email, of course.
44:11As I um as we've done in the whole past year, every Thursday afternoon from one to three, we have a landlord house help clinic.
44:19Um you can come to us with any question you have regarding the CSFRA or the MHRSO.
44:26And every other Thursday from 6 to 8 p.m.
44:29we have a housing help center for tenants.
44:32Again, if you have any questions, any concerns, uh please come to us, and we also um have support services from other non uh nonprofit agencies on site as well as legal resources.
44:49And we also wanted to give you a little uh taste um of where we perform our outreach events.
45:00We were at Earth Day Festival.
45:04Um and as usual, there is always a lot of interest, also because we always have fun kids activities on the table.
45:12So that draws in quite a crowd.
45:18And that is that agenda item.
45:22Are there any questions or comments from community members on any of the items presented?
45:29Seeing none, we'll move on to 6.2 expected future agenda items for RC meetings.
45:34The next meeting will involve approval of the budgets and annual fees that we discussed today.
45:40Are there any additional comments or announcements from committee members or from the staff?
45:45Um I also wanted to mention for next month there's also the uh set of the annual calendar and the set of the annual work plan.
45:56And then I also want um are I am owing you a little summary of where we are with the one-time utility adjustment petitions.
46:08Um total submitted, I'm gonna do in percentages unless you want to hear numbers.
46:15Um total submitted petitions are 85% of all C Sephora properties.
46:22Um the ones there are 90 properties or 15 percent that have not submitted anything.
46:29We really think those are the small, those are the smaller properties.
46:34Um they just don't let us know that they don't even use rubs, is our suspicion.
46:40Um, but we are still putting efforts out there to reach them, um, although we've done a lot in the last couple of months.
46:49Um of the submitted petitions are in a queue.
46:55Uh another five percent are in a process, further down in the process.
47:00Another um five percent have been completely uh completed, and hopefully the adjustment has been um imply uh applied to the tenants, and we found that six sixty-five percent of all uh properties didn't not use the rubs.
47:21So we do really see that the bigger uh properties are using the rubs, but the smaller properties um have not um incorporated rubs at all.
47:32Yeah, that's an overview.
47:34I'm sorry, what's that?
47:3565 percent do or don't.
47:36I just didn't get do not have rubs, yeah.
47:40Uh Vaisher Cox, did you have something to say on this?
47:43Or we're not expecting any appeals next time.
47:46We have no appeals uh in process.
47:52Number Balch, yes, had a quick question.
47:54So for the large properties, what's the percentage of the properties now who have who have completed the one-time adjustment?
48:03Roughly, I did not split it out between large, medium, or small companies uh in this overview.
48:14Okay, I I I was asking because I know previously uh I think uh you observed that a small number of large properties account for a very large percentage of the units, and so I'm just curious like how many have been done.
48:29I can I can figure that out for next month, and then I can also I mean I do remember 100% of the large companies did submit their petitions.
48:38So um they are um I think on track.
48:41So that's trending well.
48:44Yeah, and just to confirm the numbers, you said that 10% were waiting to be processed, five percent are being processed, another five percent are completed, and sixty-five percent are exempted out of the process.
48:55That but that doesn't add up to uh either and 15% is have not submitted their petitions.
49:02Okay, but yeah, that's all doesn't add up to 100, right?
49:08105 10.55 is 20, and then 65 is 85.
49:1385 percent total submitted petitions and 15 percent.
49:20Nice to do it on fly.
49:22All right, are there any other anything else from the committee?
49:27Otherwise, this meeting is adjourned at 6:49 p.m.
49:32The next rental housing committee meeting is scheduled to be heard like on Thursday, May 28th at 6 p.m.
