As recommended by the Rules and Open Government Committee on April 8, 2020:
(a) Adopt a resolution extending the temporary moratorium to May 31, 2020 on evictions due to nonpayment of rent for residential tenants where the failure to pay rent results from income loss resulting from COVID-19.

(c) Discuss a convening of stakeholders representing landlords and tenants to explore alternative solutions to address the needs of our rental community impacted by COVID-19.
