Iroquois Tenant Council Agenda

7/25/07

We want to thank everyone that attended our first Tenant Council meeting for the year 2007-08’. Hope we can make it a great year for everyone!

The community discussed about changing and enhancing how incident reports are handled. The community members feel that they don’t have confidence in management dealing with incident reports without being fair. Some of the tenants had some ideas on how to enhance the incident report procedures where it is fair between management and tenants.

Here are some of the tenants’ ideas listed below:

• Incident reports that are stored in a binder and any other copies should be destroyed after one year.

• Incident reports and camera images should be accessible and provided for tenants’ legal use. As long as it is not used against other tenants’; i.e., tenant vs. guest, tenant vs. police, and tenant vs. staff, etc…

These are suggestions from tenants’ that have attended the Tenant Council meeting but is not considered a concrete proposal for now. But, soon we will be setting up a date where tenants are welcome to help create a better Incident Report Procedure Proposal that is fair for the tenants. “We need your support and vote!”

Tenants have also expressed some concerns on who their safety floor reps are, especially concerning people whom are disabled and need assistance during an emergency situation.

These are the things that the tenant council and the community voted on:

09 voted Yes for cleaning couches at least once every three months.

13 voted Yes for up to $500.00 budget for Labor Day BBQ on September 3^rd.

08 voted Yes to celebrate Native American Heritage Month in November.

13 voted Yes for not having Yuly Urbina attend in our future Comm. Mtgs.

Topics to bring up on our next Tenant Council meeting:

• Tenant Council is looking into free legal aid as an option that will advocate for the community and the Tenant Council. To discuss this matter further, our next meeting is August 15,2007 at 5:30 P.M.

• Obtain financial report because it is unavailable at this time.

”We need your support and vote!”

Proposition 1C will provide emergency shelters for battered women, affordable homes for seniors and former foster youths, and shelters with social services for homeless families -- within existing resources -- without raising taxes.

(YES) ON PROPOSITION 1C: This state ballot measure will provide bond funding for affordable housing. This type of funding was used to rehab the Senator Hotel and will be used for 3 of CHP's new developments. This ballot needs to pass if funding for such programs is to continue.

(NO) ON PROSPOSITION 90: This state ballot measure will make it difficult if not impossible for local governments to enact land use regulations. If this passes, it means no rent control, no zoning laws and no development fees to build affordable housing.

(YES) ON PROPOSITION F: This local ballot measure will require businesses to provide workers with sick days.

PROPOSITION H: This is a local ballot measure that will require landlords to make it higher payments to tenants receiving a "no fault" eviction. Learn more about this important measure.

The following are issues that CHP has no official stance on but may be very important to CHP Staff, tenants, and Board Members. Learn more at local CHP Tenant Services sites.

THERE ARE MANY IMPORTANT ISSUES AND POSITIONS ON THE BALLOT THIS YEAR.

MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD!
