What happened
The council approved a temporary eviction ban during the COVID-19 emergency, passing 5-2 with Bates and Butt voting no. Three residents spoke in support, raising concerns about eviction moratorium support, housing affordability crisis, and public health protection during the pandemic. The ban protects tenants who cannot pay rent due to job loss or illness.
The council unanimously approved an emergency proclamation condemning Asian hate crimes. The proclamation formally expresses the city's opposition to violence and discrimination against Asian residents and Asian Americans.
