Larkspur prepares opposition to rent-control measure

Aug. 10—The Larkspur City Council plans to outline its opposition to a proposed rent-control ordinance on the Nov. 5 ballot.

The City Council, which met Wednesday, directed staff to draft a related resolution. The voter-backed initiative on the ballot would expand protection for renters.

Mayor Scot Candell said the council might be overstepping its role to speak on behalf of an advocacy group on either side of the issue. He said an independent statement outside of the ballot measure would allow the council to speak their perspective without taking away from any other group.

"I think there are other ways, if we want to, to express our opinions," Candell said.
