Pasadena Rental Housing Board Meeting: August 20, 2026

The Pasadena Rental Housing Board’s regular meeting on August 20, 2026, included a presentation by 3DI, the vendor providing Pasadena’s rental registry platform. 3DI demonstrated the registration portal and discussed its help desk, payment processing, security practices, and upcoming usability improvements. Board members asked about historical rent data, multilingual access, registration rates, and linking landlord records across properties; staff and 3DI said potential changes could be explored. The vendor contract amount and cost of the presentation were not disclosed, despite public questions. No contract award, procurement approval, or spending vote was identified. The board also set priorities for fiscal year 2026–27, including rental registry improvements and habitability issues, and a majority agreed to agendaize discussion of a possible board-support staff position; no hiring or budget decision was made.

The board received legal training on its authority and responsibilities, and approved the June 4 and June 18 meeting minutes, with amendments to the latter. It also discussed possible process changes, including appeal-record publication requirements, outreach, and reporting updates. No other procurement activity was identified.
