The Mountain View Whisman School District board approved the final set of actions to complete the districts staff housing transition on Nov. 6, including nonprofit bylaw amendments, a unit-prioritization resolution and contract amendments arising from the sale to Foothill-De Anza Community College District.

Superintendent Baer briefed trustees that the districts earlier purchase of the land and a sale of 50 units to Foothill-De Anza set the stage to reduce ongoing land-lease costs and to lower rents for staff in the future. The board considered five separate items tied to that transaction:

1) Approval of the first amended bylaws of the MVW Residences Corporation (the nonprofit housing board). Motion carried unanimously.

2) Adoption of Resolution No. 04110625 establishing prioritization of units at MVW Residences; trustees approved the resolution unanimously.

3) Termination of the initial rental concessions offered during lease-up (two months of concessions), effective 5 p.m. on Nov. 15, 2025; motion passed unanimously.

4) Approval of Amendment No. 1 to the management agreement with Wynn Residential California LP to change operational relationships as the housing board transitions to nonprofit oversight; motion passed unanimously.

5) Approval of Amendment No. 2 to the agreement among the city of Mountain View, the ownership entity and the district regarding affordable rental (BMR) units at 777 W. Middlefield Road; trustees voted unanimously to approve the amendment, which aligns parties obligations and satisfies conditions precedent to closing.

Trustees said the transition will allow the housing board to focus on operations and bring annual budget presentations to the board. The superintendent said escrow with Foothill-De Anza was expected to close shortly, completing the districts transition timeline. All housing-related motions passed unanimously; there was no public opposition during the agenda item.
