Title
HEARING - Consider recommendations regarding an Urgency Ordinance to Temporarily Prohibit Evictions, as follows: (4/5 Vote Required) (EST. TIME: 30 MIN.)
a) Pursuant to Government Code sections 25123 and 25131 and California Governor Newsom’s Executive Order N-28-20, adopt an Urgency Ordinance to extend the Urgency Ordinance to Temporarily Prohibit Evictions adopted by the Board of Supervisors on March 24, 2020, which amended County Code Chapter 44 to temporarily prohibit and suspend evictions arising from loss of income or substantial medical expenses related to COVID-19, Coronavirus pandemic, through May 31, 2020 and until the Governor’s new extension date if Governor Newsom extends Executive Order N-28-20. This Urgency Ordinance does not relieve a tenant’s obligations to pay rent or restrict a landlord’s ability to recover rent due and the implementation of the extension of this Urgency Ordinance beyond May 31, 2020 is dependent upon the extension of the Governor’s Executive Order N-28-20;
b) Read the title and waive further reading of the Urgency Ordinance;
c) Determine that adoption of the Urgency Ordinance is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15269(c), 15061(b)(3); and 15378(b)(5); and
d) Waive the Notice of Exemption 6-day posting requirement for good cause pursuant to County CEQA Guidelines section V.D.2.
