<br /> <br /> <br /> <br />4 4 <br />Overview of Sample Jurisdictions’ RSO and JCEO Programs <br />The Sample Jurisdictions’ RSOs, JCEOs, and their associated programs vary in terms of program goals <br />and design, thus representing different design options for the City. The following section summarizes <br />each of the key components of the Sample Jurisdiction programs and is organized by topic rather than <br />a summary of each jurisdiction. Based on our research, RSG discovered that most jurisdictions <br />administer the two programs collectively and do not run them as separate programs since both <br />programs are meant to protect tenants. For our summary and recommendations, the information <br />presented illustrates the combined programs. <br /> <br />Rental Housing Board <br />Each of the Sample Jurisdictions have a selected body that is responsible for rent stabilization program <br />administration, which is generally described as a Rental Housing Board, Commission, or Committee. <br />For the purposes of this report, RSG refers to this appointed body as a Rental Housing Board. Table 2 <br />presents a summary of the Sample Jurisdictions’ Rental Housing Board. <br /> <br />Table 2: Sample Jurisdictions’ Rental Housing Board <br />Jurisdiction Board Name Members Scope of Work <br />Alameda <br />Rent Review <br />Advisory <br />Committee <br />5 members appointed <br />by the Mayor and <br />approved by City <br />Council <br /> 2 Tenants <br /> 2 Housing Providers <br /> 1 Residential <br />Property Owner but <br />not Housing <br />Provider <br /> <br /> Review requests from <br />tenants concerning rent <br />increases <br /> Hold hearings for requests <br />for a rent increase review <br /> Make recommendations to <br />the tenants and their <br />housing providers about <br />the increases <br /> <br />Berkeley <br />Rent Board (with <br />a number of <br />Committees) <br /> <br />9 Commissioners <br />elected by voters <br /> Must submit a <br />verified statement of <br />their interests and <br />dealings in real <br />property during the <br />previous three years <br /> <br /> Implement and oversee <br />program <br /> Enact regulations <br /> Hearing petition appeals <br />filed by tenants and <br />landlords <br />Beverly Hills Rent Stabilization <br />Commission <br /> <br />6 members and 3 <br />alternates appointed by <br />City Council <br /> 2 Landlords <br /> 2 Tenants <br /> 2 members who are <br />not tenants or <br />managers or have <br /> Make recommendations to <br />the City Council <br />concerning amendments <br />to chapters of the Code <br />that have not been <br />resolved by the City <br />Council <br /> Perform any other <br />functions that may be
