Action Items 1. 08:05:10 AM (00:05:17) Affordable Housing Action Plan discussion of Ideas Director of Community Development, Martin Matsen and Chair Kevin Thane discussed the Affordable Housing Action Plan and how the Scope of Service between the City and the consultants has changed. 08:13:03 AM (00:13:10) CAHAB board members shared their thoughts regarding the Housing Needs Assessment process and their continued involvement in the process of developing an Action Plan. 08:15:11 AM (00:15:18) Director Matsen explained why there was a lack of correlation between the previous Housing Needs Assessment completed in 2012 and the recently completed Housing Needs Assessment, but that data used across city plans and documents should be consistent. Chair Thane commented that his hope would be that the Action Plan would act as a living document that would not become irrelevant after four years. Director Matsen responded that the Action Plan may take years to carry out, but that it is meant to be updated every 4-5 years in order to remain relevant. 08:29:52 AM (00:29:59) Brian Guyer shared his previous experience in housing needs assessments versus action plans and the consistent need for re-assessing. Mr. Guyer noted that the strategies in the Action Plan may be long term, but the trends and data need to be updated every 4-5 years. 08:30:50 AM (00:30:57) Mr. Thane responded by saying that he hoped that there would be flexibility in the Action Plan to allow for a switch in emphasis if necessary. 08:32:46 AM (00:32:53) Director Matsen explained the City’s current Work Plan, in regards to affordable housing, is the Affordable Housing Action Plan which will be a six month process. Matsen continued to explain how city staff’s time is intended to be used: everyday tasks should take up 70% of staff’s time, 20% of time dedicated to Strategic Plan tasks and 10% for unexpected issues that require attention. 08:42:40 AM (00:42:47) Mr. Guyer added that a matrix of responsibility will also come out of the Affordable Housing Action Plan which will lay out who will lead efforts for specific action items. 08:44:13 AM (00:44:20) Board member Greg Stratton commented on budgetary aspects of the Action Plan. A general discussion followed. 08:58:45 AM (00:58:51) Board members and Director Matsen discussed public input in the Action Plan process. 2. 09:05:07 AM (01:05:14) Continued Discussion of CAHAB 2019 Goals and Priorities Board members initiated the goals and priorities conversation by discussing land trusts. 09:09:33 AM (01:09:40) Board members discussed the possibility of an RFP process for vendors to present ideas on affordable housing opportunities. Mr. Guyer suggested they utilize the expertise of the Housing Work Group to identify a process so that they’re not obligated to put out dollars, but added that the Action Plan should promote creativity. 09:13:22 AM (01:13:29) Board members discussed the current affordable housing funding and ways to promote other revenue streams, outside of the current 3 Mill Levy.
