The Town Council will hold a Special Town Council meeting on Thursday, February 29 at 6:30 p.m. at the Fairfax Women’s Club. The agenda will highlight:
- 79 Wood Lane Appeal
- Rent Stabilization Program Implementation
Details on the rent control implementation item were not available on the town’s website.
The Fairfax Town Council has been at odds with the community over rent control. The Town Council has shown an interest in getting the idea implemented sooner rather than later. But citizens in the community were able to get the item put up for a public vote, which is scheduled to happen in the November General Election.
The Fairfax town Council has ignored many financially beneficial and important deadlines and actions that would help the town of Fairfax immensely. They have failed to meet deadlines. Wasting taxpayers money on these grossly redundant and overbearing rent control and Just cause eviction ordinances. The state of California has implemented plenty of just cause and rent control programs.They have been influenced by outside entities such as Berkeley, rent control and the DSA and they slammed all this through without any input or vote from property owners in Fairfax, who pay the property taxes. Meanwhile, leaving large problems like letting huge developers coming in who would be exempt from these ordinances building hundreds of extra units. These ordinances mainly affect the smaller landlords that provide most of the housing and making it impossible for them to be able to continue providing these units. The Fairfax town council totally ignores a lot of the important issues while focusing on their agenda. by the way, it’s not to help the town of Fairfax
The Fairfax Town Council had the option of putting the vote on the March primary ballot, but decided to drag out this issue. Now they want the residents to pay up to $100K a year to implement their extra rent control. Let’s put the money to better use for the Town, and delay any action until the vote. We encourage all residents to show up and join the MarinResidents.org at the meeting and let their voices be heard. Michael@marinresidents.org
