The term of service for a member of the Rent Mediation Board coincides with the term of the City Council member by whom they were appointed, and the monthly rate of pay is $50. Members are required to attend scheduled meetings in order to receive the monthly rate of pay. Elected officials are not allowed to serve on Commissions, but Citizens may serve on multiple Commissions.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cityofgardena.org\/es\/rent-mediation-board-agendas-and-minutes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Click here<\/span><\/strong><\/a> to view current or past Rent Mediation agendas or actions.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cityofgardena.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/RENT-MEDIATION-BOARD-APPLICATION-1.pdf\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Click here<\/span><\/strong><\/a> for Rent Mediation Commission Application.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cityofgardena.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Rent-Mediation-Unscheduled-Vacancy-Notice-06-17-2026.pdf\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Unscheduled Vacancy Notice<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-1 fusion_builder_column_1_3 1_3 fusion-flex-column\" style=\"--awb-bg-blend:overlay;--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:33.333333333333%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:5.76%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:20px;--awb-spacing-left-large:5.76%;--awb-width-medium:100%;--awb-spacing-right-medium:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:1.92%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-1 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-three\" style=\"--awb-margin-top-small:0px;--awb-margin-right-small:0px;--awb-margin-bottom-small:20px;--awb-margin-left-small:0px;\"><h3 class=\"fusion-title-heading title-heading-left\" style=\"margin:0;\"><strong>Tenant Representatives<\/strong><\/h3><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-10\"><p>Vacancy<br \/>\nKi Young Park<br \/>\nMargie Hoyt<br \/>\nVacancy<br \/>\nApril Pamplin<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-2 fusion_builder_column_1_3 1_3 fusion-flex-column\" style=\"--awb-bg-blend:overlay;--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:33.333333333333%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:5.76%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:20px;--awb-spacing-left-large:5.76%;--awb-width-medium:100%;--awb-spacing-right-medium:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:1.92%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-2 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-three\" style=\"--awb-margin-top-small:0px;--awb-margin-right-small:0px;--awb-margin-bottom-small:20px;--awb-margin-left-small:0px;\"><h3 class=\"fusion-title-heading title-heading-left\" style=\"margin:0;\"><strong>Owner Representatives<\/strong><\/h3><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-11\"><p>Gerlin Munoz<br \/>\nAnnie Roddy<br \/>\nJack Nemeth, Chair<br \/>\nVacancy<br \/>\nVacancy<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-3 fusion_builder_column_1_3 1_3 fusion-flex-column\" style=\"--awb-bg-blend:overlay;--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:33.333333333333%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:5.76%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:20px;--awb-spacing-left-large:5.76%;--awb-width-medium:100%;--awb-spacing-right-medium:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:1.92%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-3 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-three\" style=\"--awb-margin-top-small:0px;--awb-margin-right-small:0px;--awb-margin-bottom-small:20px;--awb-margin-left-small:0px;\"><h3 class=\"fusion-title-heading title-heading-left\" style=\"margin:0;\"><strong>At-Large Representatives<\/strong><\/h3><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-12\"><p>Florence D.
