Agenda preview

The council will direct staff to draft a real estate disclosure law requiring property sellers to reveal potential problems like structural damage to buyers. The city currently has no such requirement, and this would be a new policy affecting all home sales.

Three budget reports dominate the agenda, including the second quarter performance report from Fred Tran's department. This quarterly budget report appeared twice in the past year, most recently in December. The reports will show how actual spending compared to planned budgets through December 2025.

A rent stabilization program financial update is also scheduled, marking the 17th time in 12 months that rent board and tenant issues have appeared on agendas. The program regulates rental housing and this report covers December's collections and expenses.
