mouthful. I want to make the council member.
Vi Lyles 1:47
All right. Thank you. I think that's everyone. And so, um, tonight, I think that one of the things that I heard, and I was listening to the housing committee and the work that you guys are doing is so important that I would like to ask you to be the first group to report out and, um, be able to tell us and give us a summary. of what you would like to have council members begin to review and ponder for the future. Mr. Jones, is that okay with you?
Marcus Jones 2:22
Absolutely, Mayor.
Vi Lyles 2:25
You shouldn't say
Marcus Jones 2:25
no,
LaWana Mayfield 2:26
right? All right. Thank you so much, Mayor. My chair, I'm thinking, hopefully, is right around the corner. We went through a lot today. We had one item, our policy referral on our minimum housing code. We had quite a bit of conversation. Ultimately, there are some recommendations that came out of committee and staff as well as our Legal representation regarding our in-room process and an injunctive release as well as code enforcement actions. I'm going to keep this real short so that we have a short night. Our ultimate recommendations tonight was around directing staff. What we're bringing to full committee is a recommendation around directing staff to advance new processes for our in-room process. repair and injunctive relief.
LaWana Mayfield 3:16
We have had the ability of legal action through injunctive relief, but it has not been utilized. So this is to request for us to really start utilizing that language when the ability and mishlawness will help keep me honest with, because I did not write the notes down for this. And ultimately our committee next steps is also our procurement for interim services. Councilmember Ashmeir, am I forgetting anything? As well as I bring it in, it will help us to bring in interim repair orders forward for council action. So when we look at the opportunities and working with our partners, we're also going to get some actual numbers for some of the recommendations in here to know where we are budget-wise. So, of course, we have about $3 million in pay go total.
LaWana Mayfield 4:06
Well, we had a conversation around a pilot for mold testing. We're still going to get some more communication regarding how that will be implemented and to get an idea of exactly what are the dollars that we're looking at when we look at our upstream rental assistance and we're looking at when there's a displacement, how much money do we have available through our CDBG funds and how much money does our partner crisis assistance and through our relocation contract is still available for such events. Did I miss anything? Any questions?
Vi Lyles 4:43
I just want to say that it is great to hear that we're examining what the old was and what the new can become. So thank you so much for taking that in a forward direction. So our

next

committee is budget governance and intergovernmental relations. Our next report.
Dimple Ajmera 5:05
