14. REPORT ITEMS
*14.1 REPORT - SONOMA COUNTY COVID-19 EVICTION DEFENSE
ORDINANCE
BACKGROUND: On March 24, 2020, the Sonoma County Board of
Supervisors, acting in its capacity as both the Board of Supervisors and
the Board of Commissioners of the Sonoma County Community
Development Commission, unanimously adopted an ordinance
providing an avenue for relief from evictions for tenants suffering from
substantial loss of income or medical expenses related to the COVID-19
pandemic or any local, state, or federal government response to the
COVID-19 pandemic.
The ordinance establishes an affirmative defense, which may be used
in court as protection against eviction, for tenants who can
demonstrate, though documentation or other objectively verifiable
means, that their failure to pay rent results from a substantial loss of
income or substantial out-of-pocket medical expenses associated with
the COVID-19 pandemic or any local, state, or federal government
response to the COVID 19 pandemic. The ordinance does not relieve
the tenant of the obligation to pay rent, nor does it restrict a landlord’s
ability to recover rent due. The Ordinance provides a sixty-day period
after the termination of the local Public Health Emergency for payment
of all unpaid rent.
The Urgency Ordinance became effective upon adoption and it applies
throughout the County, in both incorporated and unincorporated areas.
No action is required or requested of the Council at this time.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the City Attorney that
Council receive a report on the provisions and operation of the Urgency
Ordinance of the County of Sonoma and the Sonoma County
Community Development Commission Establishing an Affirmative
Defense to Eviction Arising from Income Loss or Substantial Medical
Expenses Related to COVID 19. No action by Council is requested at
