Anti-Harassment Ordinance Listening Sessions in March
At the direction of the City Council, two listening sessions have been scheduled to receive feedback from landlords and tenants on an Anti-Harassment Ordinance. These are not Brown Act meetings and no decisions regarding the ordinance will be made at the listening sessions. The listening sessions are an opportunity for staff to receive feedback from the community before the City Council considers the ordinance at a later date. Everyone is encouraged to attend these listening sessions, and they are open to the public.
The first listening session will be held virtually on Thursday, March 13 at 6:30pm. The second listening session will be held in person on Thursday, March 20 at 6:30pm in the Padua Room at the Alexander Hughes Community Center (1700 Danbury Road).
Information on how to participate in the virtual listening session will be posted on the City’s website. If you are unable to attend both listening sessions and still want to submit your comments, you may do so in writing. Written public comment can be submitted directly to Deputy City Manager Katie Wand via email (kwand@claremontca.gov) or if you wish to submit feedback anonymously, you can use the form on the Tenant Assistance webpage. This form can be submitted without entering your name and/or email address. All feedback and correspondence will be shared with the City Council.
