Council approves housing‑allocation amendment and certifies special election canvas; both pass 4‑0
Summary
The council approved an amendment to its five‑year permanent local housing allocation plan and later certified the canvas of a March 24 special election; both actions passed with recorded 4‑0 votes (one member absent).
During the public hearings portion of the meeting the city clerk opened a hearing on an amendment to the city’s five‑year permanent local housing allocation plan. Staff confirmed notice was given and affidavits of compliance were on file; there were no written communications. Councilmember Perata moved to approve the amendment, which Mayor Pro Tem Wapner seconded, and the council voted 4‑0 to adopt the amendment.
Later in the meeting staff presented the canvas of a special municipal election held March 24, 2026. The city reported results for two citizen‑initiated measures related to hotel worker protections and voter approval for hotel development; both measures failed. Council moved to approve the election canvas and the motion passed 4‑0.
Why it matters: The housing allocation plan amendment is a procedural, planning‑stage step that can affect how state and local housing dollars are allocated locally. Certifying the election canvas concludes the administrative verification of vote totals for the March special election.
What happened next: Council recorded the approvals and moved on to administrative and council matters. The meeting did not include additional substantive debate or amendment to either approved item.
