Earlier, Community Development Item 14A called for, “Consideration of the Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement of the South Bay Regional Housing Trust.”
Staff recommended that the council, “Consider approval and adoption of the Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement (JPA) of the South Bay Regional Housing Trust.”
That passed unanimously, resulting in an approved call to “Authorize the Mayor to execute the SBRHT Joint Powers Authority Agreement.”
Council Member Paulette Francis was nominated to represent the City on the South Bay Regional Housing Trust Board, with Mayor Pro Tem Rodney Tanaka her alternate. That too was approved unanimously.
Item 14B, “Consideration of a Special Business Activity Permit for Care for the Children, a Non-Profit Organization, to Conduct Curb Painting Activities,” was tabled as more information was sought.
