[13:40] Thank you for joining us for the

[13:41] September 29th special meeting of this

[13:44] Fortuna City Council. If you'll silence

[13:47] your electronic devices and join me for

[13:49] the pledge of allegiance, we'll start

[13:51] the meeting.

[13:55] I pledge algiance to the flag of the

[13:58] United States of America and to the

[14:00] republic for which it stands. One nation

[14:04] under God, indivisible, with liberty and

[14:07] justice for all.

[14:09] >> Thank you.

[14:12] Can we get a roll call?

[14:15] >> Council member Conley

[14:16] >> present.

[14:19] >> Council member Diaz

[14:20] >> here. Council member Stevens

[14:23] >> here.

[14:24] >> Mayor Prom Trent

[14:26] >> here.

[14:27] >> And Mayor Johnson

[14:28] >> here.

[14:29] >> Thank you.

[14:30] Our first item this evening

[14:33] is oral comments from the public and we

[14:37] do have a letter from the stores

[14:40] uh company and their letter is going to

[14:44] be in the record. It's noted on the

[14:46] agenda

[14:48] and if there are any oral comments for

[14:50] items not on the agenda this evening.

[14:55] And I see none.

[14:58] So, we'll move on to city council

[15:00] business.

[15:14] Is there someone online?

[15:22] » Okay. Well, anyway, our first item of

[15:24] business is the consideration of an

[15:27] urgency ordinance creating temporary

[15:30] moratorum on rent increases on mobile

[15:33] home spaces in the city of Fortuna.

[15:49] All right. Thank you, mayor and council

[15:51] members. This evening, as directed by

[15:53] your city council, staff have brought an

[15:56] urgency ordinance creating a temporary

[15:58] moratorum on rent increases on mobile

[16:01] home spaces in the city of Fortuna.

[16:05] Just as a reminder of how we came to be

[16:08] here, here is a timeline of events. In

[16:11] early July, the city council began

[16:13] receiving communication from Royal Crest

[16:16] mobile home residents about unaffordable

[16:18] mobile home space rent increases. On

[16:20] July 17th, city staff met with residents

[16:23] of Royal Crest to hear their concerns

[16:25] about increasingly unaffordable rent

[16:27] increases.

[16:29] July 21st, uh, Save Our Seniors made

[16:32] public comment um, and made a request

[16:35] for mobile home rent stabilization

[16:38] ordinance at the Fortuna City Council

[16:40] meeting that day. The city council

[16:43] during future agenda items directed

[16:45] staff to return with information on the

[16:47] rent stabilization ordinance. On August

[16:50] 28th, city staff met with

[16:52] representatives from stores management.

[16:57] On September 15th, the city council held

[16:59] a study session on mobile home rent

[17:01] stabilization and city council directed

[17:04] staff to return with a temporary

[17:05] moratorum on rent increases on mobile

[17:08] home spaces. September 24th, the city

[17:11] council held a close session due to

[17:13] significant exposure to litigation due

[17:15] to assertions by the owners of Royal

[17:17] Crest mobile estates. And today,

[17:20] September 29th, the city council is set

[17:22] to review urgency ordinance creating a

[17:24] temporary moratorium on rent increases

[17:26] on mobile home spaces.

[17:32] The purpose of an urg urgency ordinance

[17:34] is to place a temporary moratorium on

[17:36] rent increases on mobile home spaces to

[17:39] preserve housing status for vulnerable

[17:41] populations and affordable housing for

[17:43] the community while staff further

[17:45] investigate and develop a permanent

[17:48] mobile home rent stabilization ordinance

[17:50] temporarily pausing rent increases on

[17:53] mobile home spaces until April 30th,

[17:55] 2026 as stated in the ordinance or the

[17:58] effective date of a mobile home Rent

[18:00] stabilization ordinance will prevent an

[18:02] undue rush on rent increases on mobile

[18:04] home spaces before the effective date of

[18:06] an ordinance that will be designed to

[18:09] protect mobile home space tenants. Such

[18:12] rush increases could defeat the purpose

[18:14] of rent stabilization.

[18:16] >> I just got a text that said there's no

[18:19] um sound on Zoom.

[18:25] » Zoom.

[18:26] >> No sound on Zoom.

[18:26] >> Looks like the city may be on mute.

[18:33] Hold for intermission.

[18:44] » Do we

[18:45] >> They also

[18:47] >> they chatted on Zoom. Can they hear us

[18:48] now?

[18:50] >> Yes,

[18:50] >> they can hear us now. Okay, great. Okay,

[18:52] I'm going to continue on in the

[18:54] presentation because we're just at the

[18:55] purpose. Um, so, uh, re rushed rent

[18:59] increases from property owners could

[19:01] defeat the purpose of a rent

[19:02] stabilization ordinance or defer its

[19:05] benefits for years.

[19:09] Adoption of this ordinance on an urgency

[19:12] basis is necessary to preserve the

[19:14] public peace, health, and safety of the

[19:16] residents, businesses, and property

[19:17] owners of the city. The findings that

[19:20] constitute the basis for the urgency and

[19:23] the need for a temporary moratorum

[19:25] include all of the items listed on the

[19:27] slides. Uh but a few of them are mobile

[19:29] home parks provide an important

[19:31] alternative form of housing. A

[19:34] significant majority of the residents of

[19:36] mobile home parks in the city are older

[19:38] individuals or couple living on fixed

[19:40] income. Nearly all mobile home park

[19:43] residents own and occupy their mobile

[19:45] home and have made a st a substantial

[19:48] investment to live in the mobile home

[19:49] park. And residents of a mobile home

[19:52] park have very limited mobility due to

[19:54] the impracticality of relocating a

[19:56] mobile home.

[20:04] A number of residents of mobile home of

[20:07] mobile home parks in the city have

[20:09] expressed the concern that they could

[20:10] become homeless if mobile home park

[20:12] owners continue to impose significant

[20:14] rent increases.

[20:16] Temporarily pausing space rent increases

[20:19] will prevent again rush space rent

[20:21] increases before adoption of regulations

[20:23] to stabilize mobile home space rents.

[20:27] Uh for these reasons, an urgency urgency

[20:30] ordinance can be adopted.

[20:34] Tonight, your city council will consider

[20:36] an urgency ordinance creating a

[20:37] temporary moratorium on rent increases

[20:39] on mobile home spaces in the city of

[20:41] Fortuna. If the moratorum on mobile home

[20:44] space rent increases adopted this

[20:46] evening, staff will return before April

[20:49] 30th, 2026 with a draft mobile home rent

[20:52] stabilization ordinance.

[20:56] So, your recommended action tonight is

[20:58] to approve the emer emergency ordinance

[21:00] that's in your packet creating a

[21:02] temporary moratorium on rent increases

[21:04] on mobile home spaces in the city of

[21:07] Fortuna until April 30th, 2026 or the

[21:10] effective date of a permanent mobile

[21:12] home rent stabilization ordinance and a

[21:15] determination of exemption of the

[21:17] urgency ordinance from SQA. And I'd be

[21:19] happy to answer any questions.

[21:23] >> Okay. Does any

[21:25] of the council members have a question

[21:27] regarding this?

[21:30] Well, we'll open this item for public

[21:33] comment and

[21:49] » my name is Holland. I want to talk about

[21:52] equity.

[21:53] the very thing seniors have worked their

[21:55] whole lives for. In mobile home parks,

[21:58] base rent is directly tied to home

[22:00] value. That is devastating for seniors

[22:03] on fixed incomes

[22:05] who cannot replace that lost value. At

[22:08] Royal Crest, rents have risen almost

[22:11] 100%.

[22:14] since 2012, outpacing inflation,

[22:18] stripping residents of tens of thousands

[22:20] of dollars in equity. Imagine saving for

[22:23] decades only to see the value of your

[22:26] home eroded in a few short years. Not

[22:29] because of the market, because of

[22:31] unchecked rent increases.

[22:34] The temporary moratorum on rent

[22:36] increases you are considering tonight

[22:38] fixes this temporarily while ensuring

[22:41] fairness that protects everyone. Council

[22:45] members,

[22:46] this is about dignity. Seniors should

[22:49] not be forced to choose between heat,

[22:52] medicine, and keeping their homes. This

[22:55] pause pervers preserves stability while

[22:58] you finalize a fair, permanent,

[23:01] enforcable framework. I respectfully ask

[23:04] you to adopt the temporary moratorium on

[23:06] rent increases, including no pass

[23:09] through owner expenses, tonight. Thank

[23:12] you very much.

[23:19] Good evening, mayor and council members.

[23:21] My name is Deborah Thomas and I live at

[23:23] the Royal Crest Mobile Home Estates.

[23:26] We've heard about temporary rent

[23:27] assistant programs like MH,

[23:31] but these are band-aids on a deep wound.

[23:34] They cover only a handful of residents

[23:36] at most, about 10 out of the over 200

[23:39] families. And even then, there is likely

[23:41] no more than five that could qualify in

[23:44] Royal Crest and only for a short time.

[23:46] The majority remain remain unprotected,

[23:49] still subject to unaffordable increases.

[23:52] In addition, for those who do not

[23:54] qualify for those unattainable funding

[23:56] resources,

[23:58] are forced to vacate their homes,

[24:00] corporations like stores for their

[24:03] benefit by obtaining their homes and

[24:05] reselling them for a higher profit. We

[24:08] have one they just got that they're

[24:10] selling for $210,000.

[24:13] >> These programs do not stop the root

[24:16] problem, skyrocketing rents. They leave

[24:18] us scrambling for aid while park owners

[24:21] continue to raise rents unchecked.

[24:24] Worse, they depend on outside funding

[24:26] that can vanish at any time. That's not

[24:28] stability. That's false hope. the

[24:30] temporary moratorum on rent increases

[24:33] before you allow for development of an

[24:36] RSO. It's systematic, enforcable, and

[24:40] fair. It provides certainty for

[24:42] residents and ensures owners continue to

[24:44] receive a fair return. It prevents race

[24:47] to rise rent hikes that could otherwise

[24:51] occur before permanent rules are

[24:53] finalized. We don't need temporary

[24:55] charity. We need structural fairness.

[24:58] and tonight you can provide it. I

[25:00] respectfully ask you to adopt the

[25:02] temporary moratorum on rent increase

[25:04] including the no pass through owner

[25:06] expenses tonight. Thank you.

[25:15] So my name is Lana Craig and I am a

[25:18] Royal Crest resident.

[25:21] Thank you all for

[25:25] going this far with us. the board

[25:28] members,

[25:30] Amy Nelson, Amy Nilson especially for uh

[25:33] doing all the research and time

[25:36] consuming meetings and so forth. Thank

[25:38] you for attorney plots for being here

[25:41] and uh Millie

[25:43] in place of Siana. Thank you all. We

[25:47] know you are listening and hearing us

[25:49] and we appreciate you for letting us

[25:51] speak. Our SOS group is more than a few

[25:55] elders that you see here. The SOS group

[25:58] stands for seniors in Fortuna and really

[26:01] throughout America who are being forced

[26:03] out of their homes in these difficult

[26:05] times and perhaps ending up on the

[26:08] street or lost in some crowded shelter.

[26:12] The short moratorum and the RSO will

[26:15] recoup the last four years will not

[26:18] recoup the last four years of over 20%

[26:20] rent increases but it will be a large

[26:23] welcome and most appreciated re respit

[26:27] to the gnawing constant fear of this

[26:29] happening again.

[26:32] As the roads diverge, it's up to each of

[26:34] us which road we choose.

[26:37] We hope you will choose the moratorum

[26:40] and vote yes for the RSO when that time

[26:42] comes. Thank you for your time, your

[26:45] energy, your efforts and again thank you

[26:49] Amy Nilson for all your meetings and

[26:52] research. Thank you.

[26:54] >> Thank you.

[27:00] » This is my neighbor Rosemary Weisner.

[27:03] She's 94.

[27:04] um she couldn't be here because like so

[27:07] many of the the people at the park,

[27:09] they're disabled and old and quite

[27:12] frankly she's getting ready for bed

[27:13] right now. She said, "I don't do

[27:15] anything after 4 o'clock. I don't go

[27:16] anywhere. Just wanted you to meet her."

[27:19] Um is there anybody here that can I ask

[27:22] that is uh unconvinced about how they're

[27:25] going to vote today?

[27:28] Do you need me to tell you more is what

[27:29] I'm asking you.

[27:31] Are you sure? Okay. Thank you, Mr.

[27:34] Stevens, for replying to me. I I

[27:36] appreciate it. My name is Ann Lton

[27:37] again. Thank you so much.

[27:39] >> I am a resident.

[27:47] » Uh good evening, mayor and council

[27:49] members. My name is Ricardo and I live

[27:51] at Royal Crest. You've heard the

[27:53] argument that a moratorum, I mean,

[27:55] sorry, a memorandum of understanding

[27:58] could be a solution. But let's be

[28:00] honest, anou is a promise. A rent

[28:03] stabilization ordinance is protection.

[28:06] Anouou can be written rewritten at any

[28:09] time by the park owner. It has no

[28:11] enforcement mechanism. It does not

[28:14] guarantee caps or on increases. Nor does

[28:17] it put limits on pass through charges or

[28:20] a restriction on one increase of one

[28:23] increase per year. In short, it leaves

[28:25] all the power in the hands of the very

[28:27] people who have already raised rents

[28:30] without restraint. Our homes cannot be

[28:32] moved. We cannot shop around for a

[28:35] better deal. Without a binding law, we

[28:38] have no stability, no security, and no

[28:40] recourse. Our RSO, even a temporary

[28:44] moratorum leading to one, creates

[28:47] balance and ensures fair return for

[28:49] owners, but stability for residents. It

[28:53] gives this council, not out of town

[28:55] corporations, the authority to safeguard

[28:59] Fortuna seniors and families. Plea,

[29:02] please don't give us a promise. Give us

[29:04] protection. Please don't give us a

[29:07] handshake. Give us a law. I respectfully

[29:10] ask you to adopt the temporary moratorum

[29:13] on rent increases, including no pass

[29:15] through owner expenses, tonight. Thank

[29:19] you.

[29:19] >> Thank you.

[29:28] Good evening, mayor and council members.

[29:31] Thank you for your service here tonight.

[29:34] My name is Ron Dur and I live at Royal

[29:36] Crust Mobile Estates.

[29:38] Tonight, I urge you to take the most

[29:40] balanced and responsible step available,

[29:44] a temporary moratorum

[29:48] on rent increases.

[29:51] This pause is narrow, timelimited, and

[29:54] specifically designed to protect

[29:56] vulnerable seniors and families while

[29:59] you complete the thoughtful work of

[30:02] establishing long-term rent

[30:04] stabilization ordinance.

[30:06] Other communities like Sonoma County in

[30:09] 2023

[30:11] did exactly this. They paused rent hikes

[30:14] while they worked on permanent on a

[30:17] permanent framework. The result was a

[30:21] breathing room period. No one was forced

[30:24] out during

[30:27] the the policy process

[30:30] and no lastm minute rent spikes

[30:33] undermined the future ordinance.

[30:36] The proposal before you is equally

[30:39] balanced. It sunsets by April 30th, 2026

[30:43] or sooner if a rent stabilization

[30:46] ordinance is adopted.

[30:48] This protects both residents and owners.

[30:52] So, council members, this moratorum is

[30:54] not radical. It is careful, legal, and

[30:58] financially planned for. It's a seat

[31:01] belt while you finish building the car.

[31:04] I respectfully ask you to adopt the

[31:06] temporary moratorium rent increases

[31:08] tonight. And as a side note, I was

[31:11] helping pass out notices for this

[31:13] meeting tonight. And I noticed from this

[31:16] meeting to the meeting before,

[31:19] uh there was one household that told me

[31:22] that they were trying to stay in that

[31:24] stores was foreclosing on them and that

[31:27] they were a little bit behind on rent.

[31:29] They kept trying to make the payments.

[31:31] That house is empty. Uh, as of when I

[31:34] posted the notice, uh, there was another

[31:37] fellow uh, 82 year old fell named Phil.

[31:40] Lived about a half block up the Crest

[31:42] Drive there. He lived there quite a few

[31:45] years. And when I talked to him, he had

[31:48] trouble paying the rent and making

[31:50] medical uh, expenses. And the coroner

[31:53] picked him up uh, midweek.

[31:57] So, uh, there are people that are

[31:59] actually having to choose between

[32:01] possible medical operations or paying a

[32:04] rent, buying food or paying a rent,

[32:07] getting their doggy taken care of with

[32:09] the pet place or paying a rent. So, this

[32:12] is this is critical to a lot of people

[32:13] living here, particularly the long term

[32:16] that thought they moved in, rent was

[32:17] great, and they live here forever. Well,

[32:19] stores just replaces them with new

[32:21] people that look like they got plenty of

[32:22] money to ask them 20 years from now.

[32:25] And, you know, I've had lots of money in

[32:26] my life, too. like you people, some of

[32:28] you do. And I ended up in stores

[32:31] management. So things change in our

[32:33] lives. So just keep watching out for

[32:35] your local voters and citizens. We

[32:37] appreciate it very much. Thank you.

[32:40] >> Can I talk twice?

[32:45] » I just want you to know that they evict

[32:48] you. You can't pay your rent.

[32:50] >> Okay.

[32:50] >> And they take your house.

[32:51] >> Okay.

[32:53] You you brought that up earlier.

[32:55] >> You can't sell it because the rent

[32:58] Mayor, I'd like to point out that you

[33:00] have two online public commenters.

[33:02] >> Okay. Well, let's let's bring them on.

[33:06] >> Millie, will you un let me know who

[33:08] you're unmuting.

[33:11] » Andrew, you are you will be unmuted and

[33:14] you can go ahead. You will have three

[33:16] minutes.

[33:19] » Okay. Thank you. Um, yeah. So, I've been

[33:22] there in person to to speak in favor of

[33:25] the rent stabilization ordinance, and

[33:28] now I'm coming to speak in favor of the

[33:30] temporary uh moratorium on rent

[33:32] increases. Um, thank you all for the

[33:36] time that you're devoting to this, for

[33:38] taking it seriously, for hearing

[33:40] everybody out tonight. Um, I think it's

[33:42] wonderful that Royal Press seniors have

[33:44] got this far. I applaud them for all the

[33:47] research that they've done that they've

[33:48] presented to you guys and um

[33:53] and I think now it's it's clear you guys

[33:56] have a choice and you can choose now to

[33:58] adopt the moratorum on rent increases

[34:01] and grant material benefit to seniors

[34:04] and your very own community. And I think

[34:07] not adopting it would be

[34:11] uh affirming

[34:16] property rights of billionaire giants

[34:18] who don't even live in the community and

[34:20] who are just ex uh who are uh pulling

[34:23] out money from the community uh millions

[34:26] of dollars a year um at the expense of uh senior citizens. So please

[34:34] um make the right choice tonight. Thank

[34:36] you.

[34:38] >> Thank you.

[34:44] Lev, you're unmuted. You can go ahead.

[34:52] » Hello, my name is Lev. I'm calling in

[34:55] from Arcada. I'm a member of Humble

[34:57] Tenants Union, fighting on behalf of

[34:58] renters and mobile homeowners throughout

[35:00] the county. I want to address SOS. The

[35:03] level of self-organization and

[35:05] mobilization you all have demonstrated

[35:07] is so, so impressive. I want you to know

[35:10] that you've shown real power. The

[35:12] research you all have shared has been

[35:13] super thorough and informative. I've

[35:16] been humbled by your level of efficacy

[35:18] and I feel grateful that I had the

[35:20] chance to meet several of you uh when I

[35:22] spoke a few weeks ago. City council, I

[35:26] think the seniors who are here have said

[35:27] it best. I won't belabor the arguments

[35:30] that others have already made so

[35:31] eloquently. I think you know what is the

[35:34] right thing to do. Please pass the

[35:35] moratorum and do the right thing for

[35:37] hundreds of your constituents. Thank

[35:39] you.

[35:43] » Billy, can you unmute Michelle Bushnell?

[35:46] Michelle, you can speak.

[35:49] >> Can I confirm you guys can hear me?

[35:51] >> We can hear you.

[35:52] >> Okay, thank you. Um, I just want to

[35:54] address uh the council and um tell you

[35:57] guys that I know that you have had a lot

[36:01] um to do with this and that you guys

[36:04] have done your homework and have

[36:06] listened to your constituents. To Amy,

[36:08] the um the city manager, you have done

[36:11] so much investigating and done so many

[36:14] meetings and really thoroughly worked

[36:16] through the process. It's very scary for people when they, you know, own

[36:22] their home and they get into a space and

[36:24] they think that space is going to be set

[36:26] or have small increases. I know that

[36:28] this is a hard decision for the council,

[36:30] but it's terrifying for your senior

[36:32] community that lives at Royal Crest. And

[36:35] I'm just um grateful that you all did

[36:37] your investigating and look forward to

[36:39] your decision this evening. Thank you.

[36:46] » Dan C, you will be unmuted and you will

[36:50] be able to speak.

[36:54] There you go. Oh, you had it.

[37:06] Okay. I think I unmuted while you

[37:08] unmuted and it muted. Um, I'm learning

[37:12] how to use Zoom uh through a bunch of

[37:15] different platforms, but I'm think I

[37:18] want to thank whoever with it made this

[37:20] available. I think it's an essential

[37:21] part of government to um allow people to

[37:26] participate without driving or if

[37:29] they're not feeling well or anything

[37:31] else. Um,

[37:34] and tonight, um, uh, you're actually

[37:39] competing with a lot of other events.

[37:42] So, I'm impressed that there is a big

[37:45] turnout in person and

[37:50] also that you took the time to hear

[37:53] everybody, you should have in person.

[37:54] And those of us were speaking up online.

[37:58] um while they debate

[38:02] uh world peace or throw out a proposal

[38:04] that's unilateral, you're being asked to

[38:09] um on a local microlo level to affect

[38:13] people's lives directly where you live.

[38:16] And the

[38:19] crime of

[38:21] almost displacement of people who are

[38:24] owners of their homes and senior in this

[38:26] point of life is something that um that

[38:31] it needs to and is being addressed here

[38:33] and it's grateful that

[38:37] you're likely to listen to. Um, I

[38:41] realized who was here when I used Zoom

[38:43] that and I'm really glad Michelle spoke

[38:45] so eloquently in representing

[38:48] um not only her constituents but her

[38:52] actual family and uh it's uh it's an

[38:57] easy decision.

[38:59] It should go the right way and I have

[39:03] complete confidence that you will

[39:07] represent your constituents morality and

[39:11] public decency by doing the right thing

[39:14] and I'm so happy to participate in this

[39:17] manner.

[39:19] >> Thank you.

[39:23] Is that our

[39:26] >> That's the end of the online public

[39:28] comment

[39:28] >> and we're we've reached the end of the

[39:32] closing public comment for in person and

[39:36] at this time we're at a point of a

[39:39] motion or not a motion. Make a motion to

[39:42] approve an urgency ordinance creating a

[39:44] temporary moratorium on rent increases

[39:46] on mobile home spaces in the city of

[39:48] Fortuna until April 30th, 2026 or

[39:51] effective date of a mobile home rent

[39:52] stabilization ordinance and

[39:54] determination of an exemption of the

[39:55] urgency ordinance from the California

[39:57] Environmental Quality Act.

[39:59] >> Second.

[40:01] >> Council member Connley, can I just

[40:02] confirm that that's reading by title

[40:04] only as well

[40:05] >> and read by title only?

[40:07] >> Thank you. And can I make a comment

[40:09] before we vote?

[40:11] >> What's that?

[40:11] >> I was just wondering if I could make a

[40:12] comment before we vote.

[40:14] >> Yeah.

[40:14] >> I just wanted to say that uh I think I'm

[40:17] probably inclined not to vote for the

[40:19] moratorum. Just want to reiterate that

[40:21] it's not because I don't sympathize with

[40:24] all the seniors. I think they are

[40:26] fighting for their livelihood and their

[40:28] quality of life and everything. I think

[40:30] just the process. I would have liked to

[40:32] have seen a good faith effort to try and

[40:34] negotiate with the management company. I

[40:36] know you guys have probably a good

[40:38] reason to be skeptical of whether that

[40:40] would

[40:42] >> well

[40:47] in any case um so I think my decision is

[40:50] not not based on you know that but more

[40:53] the process and not at least giving them

[40:56] the you know the opportunity to

[40:58] negotiate.

[41:03] » Okay. Okay. Well, we do have a motion

[41:06] >> and a second before us. So, all in

[41:10] favor,

[41:12] >> Mayor Johnson, before we do that, it

[41:14] will need to be a roll call vote. We'll

[41:16] need to read the title before we go to

[41:17] that portion. Yeah. Thank you.

[41:21] Council

[41:23] member Connley moved, seconded by um

[41:26] Mayor Prom Trent to adopt ordinance

[41:28] 2025776,

[41:30] an ordinance of the city council of city

[41:32] of Fortuna to impose a temporary

[41:34] moratorium on rent increases on mobile

[41:37] home spaces in the city of Fortuna until

[41:39] the earlier of April 30th, 2026 or the

[41:42] repeal of this ordinance and determining

[41:44] the ordinance to be exempt from SQA.

[41:46] Roll call vote.

[41:51] Um, Council Member Connley,

[41:53] >> I.

[41:54] >> Council member Diaz,

[41:55] >> I.

[41:57] >> Council member Stevens,

[41:58] >> no.

[42:00] >> Mayor Prom,

[42:01] >> yes.

[42:02] >> And Mayor Johnson,

[42:15] [Applause]

[42:22] Uh trying to drag this out of the way

[42:24] here.
