#TakomaPark council #GavelDown (actually tonight).

Next live posts: 10/21/2026, barring an intervening Secret Session or Super Secret Session. Don't miss it if you can.

#TakomaPark council: mayor thanks staff for the presentation.

#TakomaPark council: ward 3 rep checks that temperatures are checked by county staff, rather than checking thermostats. HCD head: multiple temperature checks.

#TakomaPark council: HCD head notes that county inspectors will be checking that county's 80 degree requirement is met. Notes need to have a defensible standard; notes that a temperature with adverse health requirements increases defensibility.

#TakomaPark council: ward 4 rep appreciates extension of requirement to keep units cool to start in April; wonders if requirement can be lower than 80 degrees. Manager: mirrors county cutoff.

#TakomaPark council: HCD head: 4-unit buildings are likelier to be owner occupied; 6-unit buildings less likely to be owner occupied. "There's not actually a lot of 5-unit buildings."

#TakomaPark council: start of hour four of the open session (given the late start).

#TakomaPark council: ward 3 rep asks about 5-unit threshold for reporting requirement. Manager: went back and forth on cutoff.

#TakomaPark council: ward 3 rep: can landlords be consulted? HCD head: yes, after review by city attorney. "There are a few places where we are pushing the envelope."

#TakomaPark council: ward 3 rep wonders if landlords have been consulted on ordinance. Manager: internal conversations so far.

#TakomaPark council: ward 3 rep notes spotty improvement in getting notification of problems.

#TakomaPark council: ward 3 rep: "I actually literally wrote 'yay' next to several of the things on here."

#TakomaPark council: mayor notes that property managers may not know whether an outage is a building problem or a utility problem.
