Title
Subject: Consideration of an Emergency Ordinance to provide tenant protection to commercial tenants.
Recommended Action
In consideration of the following policy considerations, it is staff’s recommendation that Council not impose a moratorium on commercial evictions at this time due to the unique nature of commercial leasing and the State and Federal resources currently available to business owners. Furthermore, the City does not currently have the staffing resources nor allocated budget to develop meaningful loan or grant programs for small businesses. It is recommended staff continue to facilitate business owners’ participation in Federal, State, and regional economic relief programs.
