Simple Resolution Only
Requirement For The
Extension
When the question of contin-
ning rent control was brought
before council Monday
night, members failed to make
a motion in favor of a continua-
tion. September 30 is the dead-
line and council has one more
the
last
meeting before time -ex-
pires.
In order to @ontinue the con-
trols, it is only necessary for
council to make a simple reso-
lution, requesting the extension
of the Federal Rent Stabiliza-
tion Law because of a substan-
tial shortage of housing locally.
The method of determining
whether a substantial shortage
of rental housing exists. is left
entirely to the discretion of the
local governing body.
Council is not required to
have a public hearing,
if it so desires, conduct such a
hearing, under the supervision
of an impartial Citizens Com-
mittee. It may also request a
survey to be made by the Area
Rent Office, under supervision
of the impartial Citizens Com-
mittee.
