The Pasadena City Council is set to revisit several potential ballot measures on Monday for which its members aim to secure voter approval in the Nov. 5 general election.The public meeting to discuss these issues will begin at 5:30 p.m. on Monday, July 22, at the Pasadena City Hall Council Chamber, located at 100 North Garfield Avenue, Room S249.City officials are considering several revisions to the Pasadena Fair & Equitable Housing Charter Amendment, otherwise known as Measure H.
They have several goals: clarifying legal language, addressing ambiguities that can’t be resolved through regulations, aligning with practices in other city departments, and reducing the municipality’s administrative burdens, financial costs, as well as legal liabilities,The changes to Measure H were approved during two lengthy City Council meetings on June 17 and July 8, both marked by heated exchanges between landlords and renters.
City officials hope to lower the bond’s approval threshold from the typical two-thirds majority through California’s Proposition 5, which is also on the November ballot. For the bond to reach voters, two-thirds of the City Council must approve it on Monday. If passed, the ordinance requires a second reading and adoption on July 29 before being sent to the Los Angeles County Registrar of Voters by August 9, the deadline for it to appear on the November ballot, the report added.This amendment aims to solve the long-standing issue of filling positions on the Fire and Police Retirement System Board by allowing more flexibility in member selection.
