Committee approves several consent and modified items; remaining items continued after quorum lost
Summary
The committee approved consent items (3, 8, 10, 11), approved item 13 as modified and approved item 6 (winter-shelter bed rate) and item 2 as modified; the meeting lost quorum before all items could be resolved and many items were continued to April 15.
The Special Housing and Homelessness Committee voted on several agenda items and took direction on others before losing quorum and continuing the remaining business to its April 15 meeting.
Votes taken at the meeting included:
- Consent: Items 3 (InterWest relocation services report), 8 (Harmony Gate modernization), 10 (report directing LA to prepare access center operations report) and 11 (motion on tenant protections/tenant notifications) were approved by roll call (three members in favor).
- Item 13: Craig Harrison (Department of Housing) proposed a modification to designate Measure A funds for measures G and H; the committee approved item 13 as modified (three in favor).
- Item 6: Members debated an administrative report to adjust winter‑season shelter bed rates; staff said aligning to an $89 per‑bed figure and clarifying fiscal‑year applicability were possible; the committee approved item 6 with Blumenfield’s modification.
- Item 2: The committee approved the analyst’s contracting recommendations as modified (motions passed by members present) and directed staff to return with timelines and monthly reporting for implementation.
Because the committee lost quorum later in the meeting, several agenda items were continued to the April 15 meeting for final action. The committee recorded the votes on the items noted above and directed staff to provide follow‑up documentation and timelines.
Roll call tallies were recorded in the minutes for votes taken: the items approved during the session passed by the three members present (Concejala Jurado, Concejal Blumenfield, Concejal Mccusker).
