So, I’m genuinely concerned that 2448 04:19:41,615 --> 04:19:45,452 so, I’m genuinely concerned that We are putting through consent 2449 04:19:45,452 --> 04:19:47,988 we are putting through consent Calendar capital improvement 2450 04:19:47,988 --> 04:19:51,491 calendar capital improvement Projects that we have previously 2451 04:19:51,491 --> 04:19:53,727 projects that we have previously Approved for significant capital 2452 04:19:53,727 --> 04:19:56,329 approved for significant capital Improvement projects in a park 2453 04:19:56,329 --> 04:19:59,399 improvement projects in a park That has historically brought us 2454 04:19:59,399 --> 04:20:01,368 that has historically brought us Net negative annually. 2455 04:20:01,368 --> 04:20:03,136 net negative annually. When I first started looking 2456 04:20:03,136 --> 04:20:05,539 when I first started looking Into this park, it was losing 2457 04:20:05,539 --> 04:20:08,175 into this park, it was losing 500 to $800,000.00 a year. 2458 04:20:08,175 --> 04:20:11,478 500 to $800,000.00 a year. Coming from our general fund, 2459 04:20:11,478 --> 04:20:18,485 coming from our general fund, Transferred over every year. 2460 04:20:18,485 --> 04:20:20,487 transferred over every year. All other funds -- I remember 2461 04:20:20,487 --> 04:20:24,324 all other funds -- I remember One year I found that the delta 2462 04:20:24,324 --> 04:20:26,827 one year I found that the delta Fair 211 fund transferred 2463 04:20:26,827 --> 04:20:28,462 fair 211 fund transferred Dollarss into the waterpark and 2464 04:20:28,462 --> 04:20:29,129 dollarss into the waterpark and That’s not legal. 2465 04:20:29,129 --> 04:20:33,166 that’s not legal. It was to go to parks built 2466 04:20:33,166 --> 04:20:34,434 it was to go to parks built Before 1980. 2467 04:20:34,434 --> 04:20:37,003 before 1980. Today, that park is losing over 2468 04:20:37,003 --> 04:20:41,374 today, that park is losing over A million dollars a year. 2469 04:20:41,374 --> 04:20:43,677 a million dollars a year. Then, we have a capital 2470 04:20:43,677 --> 04:20:46,313 then, we have a capital Improvement project that we are 2471 04:20:46,313 --> 04:20:50,550 improvement project that we are Scheduling here in spring to 2472 04:20:50,550 --> 04:20:52,519 scheduling here in spring to Replaster two pools that are 2473 04:20:52,519 --> 04:20:54,921 replaster two pools that are Main drivers for people going 2474 04:20:54,921 --> 04:20:57,224 main drivers for people going There that should end in june 2475 04:20:57,224 --> 04:20:59,860 there that should end in june Into the swim season? 2476 04:20:59,860 --> 04:21:02,062 into the swim season? So that means we understand, we 2477 04:21:02,062 --> 04:21:04,364 so that means we understand, we Run the park at a negative. 2478 04:21:04,364 --> 04:21:05,765 run the park at a negative. Let’s spend money we can’t 2479 04:21:05,765 --> 04:21:07,734 let’s spend money we can’t Afford on a project during a 2480 04:21:07,734 --> 04:21:09,169 afford on a project during a Time when we could be making 2481 04:21:09,169 --> 04:21:10,403 time when we could be making Money there. 2482 04:21:10,403 --> 04:21:14,107 money there. That is already going to be a 2483 04:21:14,107 --> 04:21:15,842 that is already going to be a Net negative. 2484 04:21:15,842 --> 04:21:17,410 net negative. That’s realistically like 2485 04:21:17,410 --> 04:21:19,913 that’s realistically like Someone saying, hundred, you are 2486 04:21:19,913 --> 04:21:21,882 someone saying, hundred, you are Setting our house on fire. 2487 04:21:21,882 --> 04:21:23,950 setting our house on fire.

It is less popular and relevant 4082 05:35:18,852 --> 05:35:21,855 it is less popular and relevant Because of the extreme number of 4083 05:35:21,855 --> 05:35:23,623 because of the extreme number of Streamlining and concessions and 4084 05:35:23,623 --> 05:35:26,159 streamlining and concessions and Waivers that come out of state 4085 05:35:26,159 --> 05:35:27,994 waivers that come out of state Housing policy. 4086 05:35:27,994 --> 05:35:30,630 housing policy. There are so many ways for 4087 05:35:30,630 --> 05:35:32,365 there are so many ways for Housing projects to move through 4088 05:35:32,365 --> 05:35:34,468 housing projects to move through The process easily and save 4089 05:35:34,468 --> 05:35:37,971 the process easily and save Money by providing affordable 4090 05:35:37,971 --> 05:35:41,041 money by providing affordable Units and I also point out that 4091 05:35:41,041 --> 05:35:42,476 units and I also point out that Without having alternative 4092 05:35:42,476 --> 05:35:48,882 without having alternative Compliance in this iho, there is 4093 05:35:48,882 --> 05:35:51,118 compliance in this iho, there is The potential of avoiding time 4094 05:35:51,118 --> 05:35:54,154 the potential of avoiding time For complex options, donating 4095 05:35:54,154 --> 05:35:57,891 for complex options, donating Land off site or things things 4096 05:35:57,891 --> 05:35:59,192 land off site or things things Like that, that require staff 4097 05:35:59,192 --> 05:36:00,760 like that, that require staff Time or delays. 4098 05:36:00,760 --> 05:36:04,898 time or delays. They remove focus of building 4099 05:36:04,898 --> 05:36:05,999 they remove focus of building Affordable housing on the site 4100 05:36:05,999 --> 05:36:07,868 affordable housing on the site Of the development which is the 4101 05:36:07,868 --> 05:36:09,402 of the development which is the Goal of the city. 4102 05:36:09,402 --> 05:36:11,705 goal of the city. The inclusionary housing 4103 05:36:11,705 --> 05:36:14,107 the inclusionary housing Ordinance requires an affordable 4104 05:36:14,107 --> 05:36:16,276 ordinance requires an affordable Housing plan, a detailed 4105 05:36:16,276 --> 05:36:17,611 housing plan, a detailed Contract between the developer 4106 05:36:17,611 --> 05:36:19,679 contract between the developer And city, needs to be submitted 4107 05:36:19,679 --> 05:36:22,616 and city, needs to be submitted With the application, specify 4108 05:36:22,616 --> 05:36:24,818 with the application, specify The inclusionary calculations. 4109 05:36:24,818 --> 05:36:26,553 the inclusionary calculations. 50% is set. 4110 05:36:26,553 --> 05:36:29,256 50% is set. We want you to demonstrate your 4111 05:36:29,256 --> 05:36:31,057 we want you to demonstrate your Math and make sure it’s 4112 05:36:31,057 --> 05:36:32,759 math and make sure it’s Consistent with ours, document 4113 05:36:32,759 --> 05:36:34,461 consistent with ours, document The locations and their plans, 4114 05:36:34,461 --> 05:36:37,397 the locations and their plans, And again, that is so staff can 4115 05:36:37,397 --> 05:36:40,033 and again, that is so staff can Make sure they are up to snuff 4116 05:36:40,033 --> 05:36:42,669 make sure they are up to snuff With the standards laid out in 4117 05:36:42,669 --> 05:36:45,071 with the standards laid out in The ordinance, making sure the 4118 05:36:45,071 --> 05:36:48,141 the ordinance, making sure the Exterior materials are high 4119 05:36:48,141 --> 05:36:50,343 exterior materials are high Quality room sizes in proportion 4120 05:36:50,343 --> 05:36:52,379 quality room sizes in proportion And things like that. 4121 05:36:52,379 --> 05:36:54,614 and things like that. The affordable housing plan 4122 05:36:54,614 --> 05:36:56,016 the affordable housing plan Establishes the housing 4123 05:36:56,016 --> 05:36:57,684 establishes the housing Requirements, a few of the 4124 05:36:57,684 --> 05:36:59,186 requirements, a few of the Bullets in the ordinance itself 4125 05:36:59,186 --> 05:37:02,189 bullets in the ordinance itself To make sure the city and 4126 05:37:02,189 --> 05:37:04,124 to make sure the city and Developer are on the same page 4127 05:37:04,124 --> 05:37:05,992 developer are on the same page Before this kicks off. 4128 05:37:05,992 --> 05:37:09,129 before this kicks off. I mention standards laid out in 4129 05:37:09,129 --> 05:37:11,932 I mention standards laid out in The ordinance, all inclusionary 4130 05:37:11,932 --> 05:37:14,434 the ordinance, all inclusionary Units need to be the same 4131 05:37:14,434 --> 05:37:16,636 units need to be the same Proportion, the bedrooms etc., 4132 05:37:16,636 --> 05:37:19,039 proportion, the bedrooms etc., 90% of the size of market rate 4133 05:37:19,039 --> 05:37:20,674 90% of the size of market rate Units with the same bedroom 4134 05:37:20,674 --> 05:37:25,946 units with the same bedroom Could could counts, same 4135 05:37:25,946 --> 05:37:28,014 could could counts, same Exterior quality design as 4136 05:37:28,014 --> 05:37:29,716 exterior quality design as Market rate units and should be 4137 05:37:29,716 --> 05:37:33,153 market rate units and should be The case with all housing, meet 4138 05:37:33,153 --> 05:37:36,022 the case with all housing, meet All standards in title 8 and 9. 4139 05:37:36,022 --> 05:37:38,758 all standards in title 8 and 9. The idea is that the affordable 4140 05:37:38,758 --> 05:37:41,261 the idea is that the affordable Units are not afterthoughts, not 4141 05:37:41,261 --> 05:37:43,930 units are not afterthoughts, not Considered add on to the larger 4142 05:37:43,930 --> 05:37:45,832 considered add on to the larger Development, distributed easily 4143 05:37:45,832 --> 05:37:47,734 development, distributed easily And as important as the market 4144 05:37:47,734 --> 05:37:51,371 and as important as the market Rate products. 4145 05:37:51,371 --> 05:37:53,874 rate products. I’ll spend a bit of time on the 4146 05:37:53,874 --> 05:37:55,742 I’ll spend a bit of time on the Technical component of the 4147 05:37:55,742 --> 05:37:58,245 technical component of the In-lieu fee in the associated 4148 05:37:58,245 --> 05:37:59,679 in-lieu fee in the associated Housing trust fund. 4149 05:37:59,679 --> 05:38:02,382 housing trust fund. There are many ways that 4150 05:38:02,382 --> 05:38:04,151 there are many ways that Consultants and cities and 4151 05:38:04,151 --> 05:38:06,119 consultants and cities and Counties develop and identify 4152 05:38:06,119 --> 05:38:09,489 counties develop and identify Their required in-lieu fee. 4153 05:38:09,489 --> 05:38:16,263 their required in-lieu fee. We use the approach called the 4154 05:38:16,263 --> 05:38:18,698 we use the approach called the Affordable housing financing 4155 05:38:18,698 --> 05:38:19,466 affordable housing financing Gap. 4156 05:38:19,466 --> 05:38:23,503 gap. A single unit in the city of 4157 05:38:23,503 --> 05:38:24,171 a single unit in the city of Antioch, $440,000. 4158 05:38:24,171 --> 05:38:26,039 antioch, $440,000. I’ll explain how we got there. 4159 05:38:26,039 --> 05:38:28,542 I’ll explain how we got there. Then we calculated the per unit 4160 05:38:28,542 --> 05:38:31,077 then we calculated the per unit Financing that a developer and 4161 05:38:31,077 --> 05:38:33,146 financing that a developer and Affordable housing developer 4162 05:38:33,146 --> 05:38:38,418 affordable housing developer Typically receives per unit, 4163 05:38:38,418 --> 05:38:39,853 typically receives per unit, $237,512. 4164 05:38:39,853 --> 05:38:41,354 $237,512. Subtract the latter from the 4165 05:38:41,354 --> 05:38:47,794 subtract the latter from the Former and find the gap of 4166 05:38:47,794 --> 05:38:55,135 former and find the gap of $202,500 voasuated $202,500.00 4167 05:38:55,135 --> 05:39:00,040 $202,500 voasuated $202,500.00 Associated with the unbuilt 4168 05:39:00,040 --> 05:39:00,874 associated with the unbuilt Unit. 4169 05:39:00,874 --> 05:39:02,008 unit. How do we find out the 4170 05:39:02,008 --> 05:39:02,676 how do we find out the Information? 4171 05:39:02,676 --> 05:39:04,778 information? The first thing we did was 4172 05:39:04,778 --> 05:39:07,180 the first thing we did was Review and identify the recent 4173 05:39:07,180 --> 05:39:09,149 review and identify the recent Affordable housing development 4174 05:39:09,149 --> 05:39:10,550 affordable housing development Projects to get unit costs to 4175 05:39:10,550 --> 05:39:13,553 projects to get unit costs to Find out the average low-income 4176 05:39:13,553 --> 05:39:15,622 find out the average low-income Housing tax credit used and 4177 05:39:15,622 --> 05:39:17,691 housing tax credit used and Applied and bank financing used 4178 05:39:17,691 --> 05:39:20,560 applied and bank financing used Because those are the two types 4179 05:39:20,560 --> 05:39:23,630 because those are the two types Of reliable funding that go to 4180 05:39:23,630 --> 05:39:25,031 of reliable funding that go to Affordable housing projects in 4181 05:39:25,031 --> 05:39:26,766 affordable housing projects in The state of california. 4182 05:39:26,766 --> 05:39:28,735 the state of california. Financing, as you see is an 4183 05:39:28,735 --> 05:39:28,902 financing, as you see is an Art. 4184 05:39:28,902 --> 05:39:31,271 art. There are many different types 4185 05:39:31,271 --> 05:39:32,906 there are many different types Of funding that developers use. 4186 05:39:32,906 --> 05:39:35,575 of funding that developers use. They are not the reliable ones. 4187 05:39:35,575 --> 05:39:37,444 they are not the reliable ones. They are different amounts, 4188 05:39:37,444 --> 05:39:46,520 they are different amounts, Different subsets. 4189 05:39:46,520 --> 05:39:48,622 different subsets. The source is the state 4190 05:39:48,622 --> 05:39:49,389 the source is the state Treasurer officer. 4191 05:39:49,389 --> 05:39:53,326 treasurer officer. They have an archive and include 4192 05:39:53,326 --> 05:39:55,162 they have an archive and include Detailed costs and financing for 4193 05:39:55,162 --> 05:39:55,829 detailed costs and financing for The projects. 4194 05:39:55,829 --> 05:39:57,364 the projects. We were able to get on the 4195 05:39:57,364 --> 05:39:59,533 we were able to get on the System and pick out a series of 4196 05:39:59,533 --> 05:40:00,867 system and pick out a series of Projects in contra costa 4197 05:40:00,867 --> 05:40:01,701 projects in contra costa County. 4198 05:40:01,701 --> 05:40:03,270 county. This is sort of what I was 4199 05:40:03,270 --> 05:40:04,237 this is sort of what I was Saying earlier. 4200 05:40:04,237 --> 05:40:08,241 saying earlier. This is an example for the 4201 05:40:08,241 --> 05:40:10,076 this is an example for the Plaza, 70 unit project with one 4202 05:40:10,076 --> 05:40:13,914 plaza, 70 unit project with one And two and three bedroom yuens, 4203 05:40:13,914 --> 05:40:16,149 and two and three bedroom yuens, Total cost $69.6 million. 4204 05:40:16,149 --> 05:40:19,619 total cost $69.6 million. You can see the rock solid 4205 05:40:19,619 --> 05:40:21,888 you can see the rock solid Sources, tax credit equity, 36% 4206 05:40:21,888 --> 05:40:24,191 sources, tax credit equity, 36% Of the financing and bank 4207 05:40:24,191 --> 05:40:25,392 of the financing and bank Financing was 6%. 4208 05:40:25,392 --> 05:40:28,128 financing was 6%. You can see this is an example 4209 05:40:28,128 --> 05:40:32,098 you can see this is an example Of financing out there whether 4210 05:40:32,098 --> 05:40:34,367 of financing out there whether It can be found, deferred fees, 4211 05:40:34,367 --> 05:40:35,902 it can be found, deferred fees, County funds or others. 4212 05:40:35,902 --> 05:40:37,871 county funds or others. All of them have subsets. 4213 05:40:37,871 --> 05:40:40,407 all of them have subsets. My point is to show that this is 4214 05:40:40,407 --> 05:40:42,676 my point is to show that this is An example of the fact that the 4215 05:40:42,676 --> 05:40:44,444 an example of the fact that the Two reliable sources of 4216 05:40:44,444 --> 05:40:46,613 two reliable sources of Financing here only total 42% of 4217 05:40:46,613 --> 05:40:47,614 financing here only total 42% of The total. 4218 05:40:47,614 --> 05:40:49,249 the total. There’s the gap you are seeing. 4219 05:40:49,249 --> 05:40:51,251 there’s the gap you are seeing. The gap is having to be filled 4220 05:40:51,251 --> 05:40:54,488 the gap is having to be filled With sources. 4221 05:40:54,488 --> 05:40:57,824 with sources. So, if we summarize the five 4222 05:40:57,824 --> 05:40:59,559 so, if we summarize the five Products we selected from the 4223 05:40:59,559 --> 05:41:01,328 products we selected from the County, listed across the 4224 05:41:01,328 --> 05:41:02,129 county, listed across the Bottom. 4225 05:41:02,129 --> 05:41:03,930 bottom. Total cost of developing the 4226 05:41:03,930 --> 05:41:06,433 total cost of developing the Five projects is $332 million. 4227 05:41:06,433 --> 05:41:09,269 five projects is $332 million. Those included a total of 376 4228 05:41:09,269 --> 05:41:10,637 those included a total of 376 Units, so what is the average 4229 05:41:10,637 --> 05:41:14,241 units, so what is the average Cost of those units is $882,000 4230 05:41:14,241 --> 05:41:14,774 cost of those units is $882,000 Each. 4231 05:41:14,774 --> 05:41:16,877 each. Now, that’s higher than the 4232 05:41:16,877 --> 05:41:19,379 now, that’s higher than the Figure I gave for antioch. 4233 05:41:19,379 --> 05:41:22,315 figure I gave for antioch. This spreads from walnut creek 4234 05:41:22,315 --> 05:41:26,153 this spreads from walnut creek To else el cerrito. 4235 05:41:26,153 --> 05:41:29,222 to else el cerrito. This is the countywide average. 4236 05:41:29,222 --> 05:41:31,191 this is the countywide average. We took the information I 4237 05:41:31,191 --> 05:41:33,493 we took the information I Mentioned that we could find of 4238 05:41:33,493 --> 05:41:35,796 mentioned that we could find of The 376 yuens, we found out 4239 05:41:35,796 --> 05:41:47,707 the 376 yuens, we found out Through the state treasurer, 4240 05:41:47,707 --> 05:41:51,745 through the state treasurer, $50,500,000 bank financing and 4241 05:41:51,745 --> 05:41:53,580 $50,500,000 bank financing and $128,500,000 in federal tax 4242 05:41:53,580 --> 05:41:57,284 $128,500,000 in federal tax Credits used ajing out to 4243 05:41:57,284 --> 05:41:58,952 credits used ajing out to $342,000 a unit. 4244 05:41:58,952 --> 05:42:02,355 $342,000 a unit. Once again, for the countywide, 4245 05:42:02,355 --> 05:42:06,726 once again, for the countywide, We found $882,000 to build a 4246 05:42:06,726 --> 05:42:11,331 we found $882,000 to build a Unit, subtract $134,000 in bank 4247 05:42:11,331 --> 05:42:12,299 unit, subtract $134,000 in bank Financing, $342,000 in tax 4248 05:42:12,299 --> 05:42:23,043 financing, $342,000 in tax Credits and a gap of $406,000, 4249 05:42:23,043 --> 05:42:25,011 credits and a gap of $406,000, 46.02% of average cost. 4250 05:42:25,011 --> 05:42:26,880 46.02% of average cost. We need to apply that to 4251 05:42:26,880 --> 05:42:27,747 we need to apply that to Antioch. 4252 05:42:27,747 --> 05:42:31,151 antioch. We modeled a conceptual housing 4253 05:42:31,151 --> 05:42:32,719 we modeled a conceptual housing Model here which is something we 4254 05:42:32,719 --> 05:42:35,088 model here which is something we Did in the feasibility 4255 05:42:35,088 --> 05:42:35,856 did in the feasibility Analysis. 4256 05:42:35,856 --> 05:42:37,157 analysis. Then we calculated the 4257 05:42:37,157 --> 05:42:39,693 then we calculated the Development cost. 4258 05:42:39,693 --> 05:42:43,296 development cost. It includes the tailored units, 4259 05:42:43,296 --> 05:42:45,932 it includes the tailored units, Impact fees, soft costs, etc. 4260 05:42:45,932 --> 05:42:48,969 impact fees, soft costs, etc. We found that unit would cost 4261 05:42:48,969 --> 05:42:49,769 we found that unit would cost $36 million. 4262 05:42:49,769 --> 05:42:55,809 $36 million. That equates to $440,000 less 4263 05:42:55,809 --> 05:42:58,111 that equates to $440,000 less Than $880,000 countywide. 4264 05:42:58,111 --> 05:43:01,214 than $880,000 countywide. We calculated the financing gap, 4265 05:43:01,214 --> 05:43:04,885 we calculated the financing gap, Applied the 46.02 ratio to the 4266 05:43:04,885 --> 05:43:11,758 applied the 46.02 ratio to the Total and got $202,500 financing 4267 05:43:11,758 --> 05:43:15,195 total and got $202,500 financing Gap. 4268 05:43:15,195 --> 05:43:17,497 gap. We are aware you need 4269 05:43:17,497 --> 05:43:19,332 we are aware you need Information from the ground. 4270 05:43:19,332 --> 05:43:21,234 information from the ground.

There were questions, the first 4336 05:45:54,421 --> 05:45:56,723 there were questions, the first Being could it be written into 4337 05:45:56,723 --> 05:46:00,861 being could it be written into The ordinance that 4338 05:46:00,861 --> 05:46:02,729 the ordinance that Prioritization be given to 4339 05:46:02,729 --> 05:46:04,364 prioritization be given to Antioch residents for the 4340 05:46:04,364 --> 05:46:05,932 antioch residents for the Affordable units? 4341 05:46:05,932 --> 05:46:08,135 affordable units? There is conflicts. 4342 05:46:08,135 --> 05:46:10,203 there is conflicts. I did research with my contact 4343 05:46:10,203 --> 05:46:18,311 I did research with my contact At mtc and the city did its own 4344 05:46:18,311 --> 05:46:22,449 at mtc and the city did its own Research. 4345 05:46:22,449 --> 05:46:35,328 research. I’m sorry. 4346 05:46:35,328 --> 05:46:37,631 I’m sorry. There was the potential for 4347 05:46:37,631 --> 05:46:40,033 there was the potential for Conflict with state fair housing 4348 05:46:40,033 --> 05:46:41,134 conflict with state fair housing Laws. 4349 05:46:41,134 --> 05:46:42,435 laws. Staff and myself felt the 4350 05:46:42,435 --> 05:46:44,304 staff and myself felt the Potential liabilities would out 4351 05:46:44,304 --> 05:46:46,273 potential liabilities would out Way the benefits given the 4352 05:46:46,273 --> 05:46:47,040 way the benefits given the Conflicts. 4353 05:46:47,040 --> 05:46:50,744 conflicts. That was born out by mtc and 4354 05:46:50,744 --> 05:46:53,847 that was born out by mtc and Their housing experts so staff 4355 05:46:53,847 --> 05:46:54,581 their housing experts so staff Didn’t recommend it. 4356 05:46:54,581 --> 05:46:58,418 didn’t recommend it.

This goes back to potential 4360 05:47:03,323 --> 05:47:05,859 this goes back to potential Conflicts with existing laws, 4361 05:47:05,859 --> 05:47:07,627 conflicts with existing laws, Labor relation act, state 4362 05:47:07,627 --> 05:47:10,197 labor relation act, state Housing element law and zoning 4363 05:47:10,197 --> 05:47:12,165 housing element law and zoning Authority all contain limits or 4364 05:47:12,165 --> 05:47:14,201 authority all contain limits or Barriers to that type of 4365 05:47:14,201 --> 05:47:14,501 barriers to that type of Preference. 4366 05:47:14,501 --> 05:47:17,938 preference. This does not reflect staff lack 4367 05:47:17,938 --> 05:47:20,674 this does not reflect staff lack Of prioritization of local 4368 05:47:20,674 --> 05:47:21,775 of prioritization of local Unions. 4369 05:47:21,775 --> 05:47:24,511 unions.

Planning commission asked that 4373 05:47:32,619 --> 05:47:35,889 planning commission asked that We look at ensuring that the 4374 05:47:35,889 --> 05:47:39,192 we look at ensuring that the Housing trust fund prioritizes 4375 05:47:39,192 --> 05:47:40,494 housing trust fund prioritizes Funding for housing 4376 05:47:40,494 --> 05:47:41,161 funding for housing Development. 4377 05:47:41,161 --> 05:47:44,097 development. Staff clarified the admin 4378 05:47:44,097 --> 05:47:45,765 staff clarified the admin Guidelines provides the 4379 05:47:45,765 --> 05:47:48,001 guidelines provides the Guidelines for how the funds are 4380 05:47:48,001 --> 05:47:50,704 guidelines for how the funds are Spent and allow them to be spent 4381 05:47:50,704 --> 05:47:53,974 spent and allow them to be spent Strategically on a variety of 4382 05:47:53,974 --> 05:47:54,174 strategically on a variety of Needs. 4383 05:47:54,174 --> 05:47:56,143 needs. The guidelines are approved by 4384 05:47:56,143 --> 05:47:57,477 the guidelines are approved by You the council and the 4385 05:47:57,477 --> 05:48:01,548 you the council and the Assumption is that the funds 4386 05:48:01,548 --> 05:48:02,649 assumption is that the funds Prioritize affordable housing 4387 05:48:02,649 --> 05:48:04,084 prioritize affordable housing Development. 4388 05:48:04,084 --> 05:48:05,819 development. Planning commission also had a 4389 05:48:05,819 --> 05:48:08,021 planning commission also had a Valid question about 4390 05:48:08,021 --> 05:48:09,556 valid question about Prioritizing extremely low 4391 05:48:09,556 --> 05:48:10,557 prioritizing extremely low Income households. 4392 05:48:10,557 --> 05:48:12,592 income households. There is a strange structural 4393 05:48:12,592 --> 05:48:14,828 there is a strange structural Issue with the state with hcd 4394 05:48:14,828 --> 05:48:16,696 issue with the state with hcd And eli. 4395 05:48:16,696 --> 05:48:19,399 and eli. Eli is, if you look directly 4396 05:48:19,399 --> 05:48:21,935 eli is, if you look directly Into the state housing building 4397 05:48:21,935 --> 05:48:24,337 into the state housing building Block website, eli is considered 4398 05:48:24,337 --> 05:48:27,073 block website, eli is considered A subset of low income. 4399 05:48:27,073 --> 05:48:29,042 a subset of low income. Whereas the separation between 4400 05:48:29,042 --> 05:48:30,911 whereas the separation between The income levels is 4401 05:48:30,911 --> 05:48:36,483 the income levels is Traditionally a break, eli is 4402 05:48:36,483 --> 05:48:39,252 traditionally a break, eli is Zero to 30 within zero to 50 of 4403 05:48:39,252 --> 05:48:41,021 zero to 30 within zero to 50 of Eli, which is why we don’t see 4404 05:48:41,021 --> 05:48:44,424 eli, which is why we don’t see It on the arena targets. 4405 05:48:44,424 --> 05:48:49,329 it on the arena targets. Hcd does not pry prioritize, 4406 05:48:49,329 --> 05:48:52,299 hcd does not pry prioritize, Cities are asked to study eli in 4407 05:48:52,299 --> 05:48:53,500 cities are asked to study eli in The housing units. 4408 05:48:53,500 --> 05:48:58,572 the housing units. They are not part of rena, by 4409 05:48:58,572 --> 05:49:01,308 they are not part of rena, by Including eli in the housing 4410 05:49:01,308 --> 05:49:03,577 including eli in the housing Ordinance itself, it brings us 4411 05:49:03,577 --> 05:49:05,412 ordinance itself, it brings us Out of lock step with the 4412 05:49:05,412 --> 05:49:06,813 out of lock step with the Progress requested by the state 4413 05:49:06,813 --> 05:49:09,449 progress requested by the state And keeping it consistent with 4414 05:49:09,449 --> 05:49:10,217 and keeping it consistent with The housing element. 4415 05:49:10,217 --> 05:49:12,986 the housing element. It is simply that the income 4416 05:49:12,986 --> 05:49:16,156 it is simply that the income Range is within vli. 4417 05:49:16,156 --> 05:49:20,327 range is within vli. Finally, the pc asked if we 4418 05:49:20,327 --> 05:49:23,463 finally, the pc asked if we Could audit the trust fund first 4419 05:49:23,463 --> 05:49:24,998 could audit the trust fund first Quarter of the year and each 4420 05:49:24,998 --> 05:49:27,734 quarter of the year and each Every two years here after to 4421 05:49:27,734 --> 05:49:28,935 every two years here after to Determine the percentage of 4422 05:49:28,935 --> 05:49:31,338 determine the percentage of Projects using in-lieu fees. 4423 05:49:31,338 --> 05:49:32,973 projects using in-lieu fees. In other words, is this 4424 05:49:32,973 --> 05:49:34,941 in other words, is this Working? 4425 05:49:34,941 --> 05:49:36,143 working?
