SUMMARY
On July 21, 2020, Council adopted Ordinance 20-15, establishing the City’s Tenant Relocation Assistance Ordinance (TRAO) as Chapter 12, Section 2 of the Hayward Municipal Code. The TRAO establishes requirements for property owners to pay relocation assistance to tenants when there is a government order to vacate for health and safety reasons. Staff followed the timeline and requirements established by the TRAO and corresponding Regulations for TRAO implementation, including holding a Special Assessment Hearing with an impartial Hearing Officer. For the properties listed in Attachment III, the Hearing Officer determined that a Special Assessment should be placed. Staff recommend that the Council adopt a resolution approving the assessments listed in Attachment III for past due tenant relocation assistance payments. If Council adopts the resolution, property owners will have until August 1, 2024, to pay past due fees before the assessments are submitted to the County Assessor’s Office.
