The City of Mountain View Rental Housing Committee convened on September 25, 2025, to discuss various topics related to rental housing and community support initiatives. The meeting began with inquiries regarding the budget for recruiting additional hearing officers, with hopes expressed for an expedited timeline.

Following this, the committee opened the floor for public comments, but no members of the public chose to speak. The committee then moved on to item six, which included staff announcements and updates.

Staff provided details on upcoming workshops and office hours, confirming that virtual office hours would continue every Tuesday from 10 AM to noon. Two workshops are scheduled for October 7: one aimed at landlords, featuring a presentation from Community Services Agency (CSA) to explain their services and assist landlords in understanding the rent assistance process, and another in the evening focused on tenants, detailing CSA services.

Additionally, on October 14, a tenant-focused workshop will address utility adjustment petitions, explaining how rent adjustments related to utilities will be presented to tenants. The committee also highlighted ongoing help centers for both landlords and tenants, with specific schedules for each.

Looking ahead, the committee discussed expected future agenda items for the next meeting, including an appeal and regulations concerning anti-harassment and anti-retaliation. A reminder was given about a special retreat meeting on October 4, and a celebration of committee volunteers scheduled for the following Tuesday.

The meeting concluded with a confirmation of the retreat details, including the location and time, before adjourning at 6:30 PM.
