Commission sets deadline to finalize tenant outreach flyer and check city printing
Summary
Members agreed the outreach flyer should be more neutral and informational rather than advocacy-focused, set a target to finalize it before the next meeting, and asked staff to confirm whether the city will print and distribute copies.
The commission reviewed a draft tenant outreach flyer and agreed it should read as neutral, informational material rather than advocacy for tenants or landlords.
Chair Rakim said he was revising language that had originated as a school project to make the flyer more matter-of-fact. Staff noted that only tenants can file cases under existing rules, which informed the flyer's target audience. Members urged a deadline to move the flyer from draft to distribution; one member said it had been four months since the original draft and urged that it be issued rather than delayed by perfection. Phil Kent said he had contacted the city about printing but would follow up to confirm whether the city will print and distribute the flyers.
The commission set a goal to complete the flyer before the next meeting and begin distribution to locations on the outreach list.
