Vice Mayor, will you please lead us in the land acknowledgement and pledge of allegiance?

Certainly, please stand if you are able.

Please rise for the opening acknowledgments in honor of Sacramento's indigenous people and tribal lands.

To the original people of this land, the Nisanan people, the southern Maidu,

the valley, and plains mewap, put to win two peoples and the people of the Wiltson Rancheria,

Sacramento's only federally recognized tribe.

May we acknowledge and honor the native people who came before us and still walk for

sight of us today on these ancestral lands by choosing to gather today in the active practice of

acknowledgement and appreciation for Sacramento's indigenous peoples history,

contributions and lives.

Remain standing, well, salute and pledge.

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which

it stands, one nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all.

All right, thank you, Vice Mayor and welcome today to the members of the public.

fill out a form in the back of the room or the front of the room and turn it in to the clerk.

So if that is your plan today, please make that happen before we get started.

And with that, we will start with our consent calendar.

We have three items on consent.

Do any of my colleagues have any questions or comments on these items?

I'm not calling for consent.

All certain.

All right, that is moved and seconded.

All in favor, please say aye.

Aye.

Opposed?

abstain?

That passes unanimously with Council Member Gara absent.

All right.

Moving right along to our first discussion item item four, the tenant protection program

update.

We invite staff up to start the presentation.

Welcome Peter.

Good morning, Chair Boundsweila and committee.

I'm Peter Limos, I'm your code and housing enforcement chief for the City of Sacramento's

Community Development Department.

Today we're going to give a brief presentation update on our tenant protection program.

We'll give you some brief history.

So on August 13th, 2019, the City Council adopted an addition of chapter 5.156 of our city

code named the tenant protection and relief act.

The program was established to assist residential tenants and increasing residential, with the

increasing residential rates and establishing set limits on annual rent increases for certain

properties for long term tenants.

It provided some protection for unwanted terminations of contracts and leases.

Also known as just costy fictions.

While the program went into effect September 2019 due to statewide COVID restrictions and

war storms that were put into place, the program actually didn't initiate until September

30th with the expiration of some of the COVID resolution or COVID amendments.

And then some of those even went through June of 2021.
