Pasadena Rental Housing Board Meeting: September 17, 2026

The Pasadena Rental Housing Board met on September 17, 2026. Its main spending-related decision was to change meeting venues after the City Council chambers became unavailable. Staff compared Robinson Park Recreation Center (no rental cost), Pasadena Convention Center (reservation, food-and-beverage minimum, and attendant fees), Brookside Golf Club (reservation and food-and-beverage fees, with full date availability), and City Yards (no rental cost but technology and access constraints). The board approved a motion to hold meetings at Brookside through the end of 2026, pending the Jackie Robinson Community Center being ready for use in January 2027. The motion passed with one recorded no vote. Staff was also asked to continue exploring a longer-term location; no specific venue dollar amounts or contract awards were stated.

The board also heard appeal AP2026-00005, concerning a tenant’s rent-reduction petition for 1156 Stuben Street (case 2025-36172), and voted to uphold the hearing officer’s decision. A planned Planning Department presentation was removed from the agenda because staff could not attend. The board approved the August 6 minutes after a member noted an attendance-record correction; no other procurement actions were identified.
