1
00:01:31,090 --> 00:01:38,910
We're meeting to order. We've got a number of things to cover and we'll get through them quickly and get on with their days.

2
00:01:39,590 --> 00:01:48,210
So we've got first order of businesses, the Review and Approval minutes from the November 19 meeting. Everybody set a chance to review those.

3
00:01:49,740 --> 00:01:50,400
discussion,

4
00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:01,360
but so the second, okay, the motion, the second, any discussion on the minutes.

5
00:02:02,540 --> 00:02:05,640
If not all those in favor of approval, signify by say, aye.

6
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:06,540
Aye.

7
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,560
Those opposed same sign, all right, the minutes are approved.

8
00:02:11,340 --> 00:02:14,820
And next up, we have review and approval of the financial sign.

9
00:02:16,780 --> 00:02:18,420
Tash is the already budgeted national

10
00:02:22,870 --> 00:02:25,830
review date budgeted, and

11
00:02:25,830 --> 00:02:26,150
read budget,

12
00:02:28,860 --> 00:02:31,720
and rather use expenditures, and other funding sources are recorded

13
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:36,800
as of November 30, 2005, expenses are under

14
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:44,600
contractive services, $250, $67 for water service,

15
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:52,080
$21,000, $5,000 for five costs, and special assistance for RDA and companies will be

16
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:58,540
at the first street having paid in the amount of $49,000, and $100,000 in 50 cents.

17
00:02:58,540 --> 00:03:03,920
The total expenses are 71,536 dollars, 40% cents,

18
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,780
purely occupants of the data as a real land and credit is

19
00:03:07,780 --> 00:03:09,560
provide for non-mement marketing and the key in our

20
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:13,680
properties will be applied to the tax to is also an overview of the

21
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:17,160
20,26 operating and capital budget for the area and

22
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:21,000
any questions

23
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:22,740
on that, please go over to ask.

24
00:03:24,500 --> 00:03:24,840
Any questions?

25
00:03:31,020 --> 00:03:32,540
Questions and other questions?

26
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:34,100
Just a quick question.

27
00:03:35,460 --> 00:03:37,580
How will those new funds show up on the

28
00:03:38,660 --> 00:03:40,580
the financials that we see.

29
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,840
The new funds for the 246 capital?

30
00:03:44,620 --> 00:03:46,320
So that would just be an additional page.

31
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:52,500
So you'll still probably see the creator $48,000.

32
00:03:52,940 --> 00:03:54,380
I think we're going to hold that.

33
00:03:54,820 --> 00:03:57,520
But then you'll see that the $1,000 additional project.

34
00:03:58,100 --> 00:03:59,640
And it's always a separate page.

35
00:04:00,100 --> 00:04:01,840
Just kind of separate the two significant projects.

36
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:02,900
Okay.

37
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:03,860
Thank you.

38
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:05,860
And then is there an operating budget?

39
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,020
Okay, for next year's long.

40
00:04:09,180 --> 00:04:13,280
I'll tell you 26, we're looking at our two-order tying thousands.

41
00:04:14,460 --> 00:04:17,820
I don't know if we're going to ask for the R&P, but it's a little bit

42
00:04:17,820 --> 00:04:22,420
to kind of cover the non-operating cost, which I'm trying to increase for

43
00:04:22,420 --> 00:04:27,680
the way credits have been also the management, the additional management of the

44
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:27,920
R&P.

45
00:04:28,380 --> 00:04:30,780
Thank you.

46
00:04:30,980 --> 00:04:31,940
Yeah, I see that.

47
00:04:32,100 --> 00:04:32,960
Thank you.

48
00:04:36,390 --> 00:04:37,090
Any other questions?

49
00:04:38,550 --> 00:04:42,290
If not, energy and emotion approval of financials.

50
00:04:42,290 --> 00:04:43,390
So moved.

51
00:04:45,350 --> 00:04:49,090
Emotion and second, any further discussion on financials?

52
00:04:49,770 --> 00:04:52,370
Not all those in favour, signify by saying aye.

53
00:04:52,610 --> 00:04:52,850
Aye.

54
00:04:53,470 --> 00:04:54,050
Those opposed.

55
00:04:54,230 --> 00:04:54,670
Same sign.

56
00:04:55,870 --> 00:04:57,110
The financials are approved.

57
00:04:58,570 --> 00:04:59,550
Next item of business.

58
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:04,980
I believe it's a public comment for items that are not listed as public hearing or discussion.

59
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:16,460
See, nobody here in attendance for that. So, go on to the next one. Business items with public hearing or public discussion.

60
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:26,860
Leave that and then we're on to item six. Other business, the discussion of the new RDA development districts and potential redevelopment

61
00:05:29,260 --> 00:05:33,300
So, Bill, you're taking that for us?

62
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:35,160
I'm going to attempt to.

63
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:39,140
So, Aaron called me this morning and he said,

64
00:05:39,300 --> 00:05:42,720
it doesn't change from when it was presented to you last month.

65
00:05:43,020 --> 00:05:44,860
You guys had asked for some metrics.

66
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:52,520
He felt that more of a site by site with it being such a large district.

67
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:59,580
would make sense, and there's the two maps, I think the second one they added on a little more.

68
00:06:08,340 --> 00:06:17,280
Yes, so his thought was, if you guys are comfortable voting for it today without the metrics and then working on on case by case,

69
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:25,400
which I could do the whole presentation, but 30 minutes wasn't enough for me to figure out RDA all together.

70
00:06:26,420 --> 00:06:26,880
Oh,

71
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,240
any discussion, any thoughts?

72
00:06:36,470 --> 00:06:38,010
I think the only thing I was trying to figure out in there,

73
00:06:38,130 --> 00:06:40,150
and I couldn't maybe see the else you read.

74
00:06:40,330 --> 00:06:42,050
I could help. I can't figure out where we ended

75
00:06:42,050 --> 00:06:43,450
on the leanboard piece.

76
00:06:43,910 --> 00:06:45,130
That part?

77
00:06:45,790 --> 00:06:48,650
Yeah, he said, you guys didn't feel comfortable,

78
00:06:49,090 --> 00:06:50,750
so that was taken out.

79
00:06:58,420 --> 00:07:00,660
I believe there were other commission members

80
00:07:00,660 --> 00:07:03,960
that were a little more concerned about the metrics

81
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:10,100
and having those insurgents so do our read here.

82
00:07:10,780 --> 00:07:13,700
Do those questions remain for the group?

83
00:07:14,020 --> 00:07:19,900
Can I ask a question and I don't think Billy, you probably won't be very well-cited to answer the question.

84
00:07:20,380 --> 00:07:21,940
I don't know, Dave, maybe you have an answer.

85
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:28,920
Is there any repercussion or consequence if RDA postpones this decision to the January meeting?

86
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:30,840
Is there a reason we need to take action today?

87
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:34,040
I was just thinking of the same thing.

88
00:07:35,060 --> 00:07:37,520
I don't think that there are any negative

89
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:39,400
aroundifications of budgetary past.

90
00:07:39,540 --> 00:07:41,800
There aren't any more calls for meetings.

91
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:43,120
The rest of this year.

92
00:07:43,740 --> 00:07:47,700
So if we could, it was elected to people's calling.

93
00:07:47,900 --> 00:07:49,780
We could just have that discussion in January.

94
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:52,400
I could have that report there.

95
00:07:53,020 --> 00:07:55,200
So I'm not aware of any negative consequences.

96
00:07:55,620 --> 00:07:57,820
This is where people's calls to January is meeting.

97
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:11,800
The two pieces of feedback I'd like to just share in contemplation of this coming back again.

98
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:21,880
The key performance metrics section that was added, I'm actually fairly satisfied by,

99
00:08:22,940 --> 00:08:24,560
because it gives us something to shoot for.

100
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,440
I think it's just that we just don't know what the baseline is.

101
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:33,300
And so we continue to refine that and get to those so that we can have some measurements.

102
00:08:33,300 --> 00:08:38,380
So that isn't as much a concern for me at this point.

103
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:42,080
I think I'd still like to see more of a phasing.

104
00:08:43,140 --> 00:08:48,300
I know we've had the five years to review,

105
00:08:48,860 --> 00:08:54,500
but I think still understanding getting a better plan

106
00:08:54,500 --> 00:08:58,060
for how we're going to approach even in the first year

107
00:08:58,060 --> 00:09:02,080
with the capital budget we have, what's specific.

108
00:09:03,300 --> 00:09:08,800
activities we're going to undertake in those first year or two.

109
00:09:09,300 --> 00:09:10,660
So getting it, just getting it.

110
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:16,600
Just a, it doesn't have to be extensive, but just a, something that's just a little more,

111
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:20,280
that brings a bit more confidence to that next steps.

112
00:09:22,140 --> 00:09:27,680
And that, the last thing I wanted to raise to the group was

113
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:35,080
this being,

114
00:09:42,550 --> 00:09:50,910
I'm feeling a bit of mission creep with all of the mixed use of commercial discussion.

115
00:09:51,530 --> 00:09:59,850
So I was wondering if there was a way to limit the focus of this two just affordable housing.

116
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:08,200
So that in the future, if there are other commercial redevelopments that we want to take, that's a different district.

117
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:10,680
This just seems

118
00:10:12,730 --> 00:10:16,070
kind of the

119
00:10:19,140 --> 00:10:25,340
word for that, but this is just too much, and I want to just make sure we're focused.

120
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:32,460
I want this just to be, I would prefer this to be more of a focus effort for affordable housing within this district.

121
00:10:32,460 --> 00:10:39,400
And that that's what the fathers are coming to city council to the capital budget for.

122
00:10:40,020 --> 00:10:43,460
So let's make sure that our district is focused on that goal.

123
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:44,960
That is the goal of this district.

124
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:46,120
So I

125
00:10:48,230 --> 00:10:54,010
don't know if there's necessarily a risk, but I think there's maybe just an attention.

126
00:10:54,670 --> 00:10:57,570
Let's focus on the thing we're supposed to focus on.

127
00:10:58,350 --> 00:11:00,910
This may be my feedback.

128
00:11:04,180 --> 00:11:08,700
Could you, like, I'm a little, what do you mean by a new district if there's commercial like that?

129
00:11:08,700 --> 00:11:17,220
Oh, so, like, within this district, the way it's written now is that if there was any project on any property,

130
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:24,540
you know, I know there's, there's talk of various redevelopment opportunities within this, this large area.

131
00:11:26,660 --> 00:11:37,320
And so theoretically, the ideas we can undertake that project within this district, even though we only have funds for affordable housing.

132
00:11:40,110 --> 00:11:56,010
So it would be a specific, like if there's a commercial project that did not want to include affordable housing, we would have to make a district, or the flip is anything redeveloped here would have to have a piece of affordable housing to it.

133
00:11:57,890 --> 00:12:04,030
Yes, maybe that's a more positive way to say that, is that this is any projects would we would

134
00:12:04,030 --> 00:12:11,070
only support them or be a part of it through the affordable housing funds and plants of this district.

135
00:12:11,490 --> 00:12:19,350
And I like about you saying because of the capital dollars which one of my notes is at some point we have to decide what is affordable housing.

136
00:12:19,870 --> 00:12:26,350
And how are we going to spend the million dollars on whatever, you know, what definition are we using to decide

137
00:12:26,350 --> 00:12:32,970
But what that is, we're going to correct, but I think you're going to end right, as you read the

138
00:12:32,970 --> 00:12:33,150
metrics.

139
00:12:33,310 --> 00:12:35,810
I think we sought to get down to what metrics, yeah.

140
00:12:35,810 --> 00:12:38,010
What is the definition around a portable housing?

141
00:12:38,490 --> 00:12:43,890
And then, part two is, if next year, the council wants to allocate $2 million to the

142
00:12:43,890 --> 00:12:47,790
already, like, the normally do it without the caveat that has to be housing, to your

143
00:12:47,790 --> 00:12:48,290
point, right?

144
00:12:48,290 --> 00:12:52,430
How do we still use the district that we, you know, to be how do we then use those

145
00:12:52,430 --> 00:12:54,710
dollars without creating another district?

146
00:12:54,710 --> 00:13:00,710
Do we just modify? Do we leave the district in right now? It's the focus in your phases is affordable housing

147
00:13:00,710 --> 00:13:05,550
But then next year if it's like hey, here's $2 million. We want to just truthfully in some of these areas

148
00:13:05,550 --> 00:13:09,830
You're going to want commercial development just to raise the tax roll. You're going to want a little bit of those

149
00:13:10,990 --> 00:13:15,090
So I don't know how easy it is to modify a district if we

150
00:13:15,090 --> 00:13:18,190
Limit it or we just phase how we're going to spend money over the next couple years

151
00:13:19,810 --> 00:13:22,010
I think you can change the

152
00:13:22,010 --> 00:13:27,850
The active, you can change the district plan, I think if there was a project, you know,

153
00:13:27,950 --> 00:13:33,670
there's been that discussion of that industrial property kind of west of Canary District.

154
00:13:35,250 --> 00:13:42,170
That should be its own redevelopment plan with its own redevelopment funds targeted towards

155
00:13:42,170 --> 00:13:43,110
that project.

156
00:13:43,270 --> 00:13:50,620
So if there was in my mind, if there was an opportunity for a project, we would say, here's

157
00:13:50,620 --> 00:13:58,660
potential districts and then we would tell the city council these are the funds we need and that's how that would

158
00:13:58,660 --> 00:14:06,680
I would imagine that to work maybe that's you know the turning next not here to maybe correct my

159
00:14:08,020 --> 00:14:14,660
process but you know we have funds for affordable housing that's the focus so let's make this

160
00:14:14,660 --> 00:14:18,600
type. This is an affordable housing district.

161
00:14:21,290 --> 00:14:24,470
I think when we talked about this, you know,

162
00:14:24,470 --> 00:14:27,630
set up being a traditional, a staff level,

163
00:14:27,710 --> 00:14:31,290
what director wait. This isn't like the current

164
00:14:31,290 --> 00:14:32,390
part, so we're going to read about it.

165
00:14:32,870 --> 00:14:36,230
We're going to read about people,

166
00:14:36,730 --> 00:14:40,750
lots of things. And this is a piece, but the reading

167
00:14:40,750 --> 00:14:43,390
through the, uh, reading through the introduction.

168
00:14:44,290 --> 00:14:56,670
It's full of references that this is the housing, housing first, affordable housing first district that's supposed to be full of it.

169
00:15:00,210 --> 00:15:07,270
With this being a parcel of parcel, district, throat, entire city, instead of just being a whole block here, a whole block there.

170
00:15:07,850 --> 00:15:15,530
I think that ability to add in commercial wasn't intended to be the emphasis, but if something means sense,

171
00:15:15,530 --> 00:15:22,850
the key on, he would have given it our key for, at least, the flexibility of a dressing

172
00:15:22,850 --> 00:15:26,710
that are including that, you could say, so it sure is without having to create it to

173
00:15:26,710 --> 00:15:27,450
one.

174
00:15:28,650 --> 00:15:35,750
But it could leave the door open for a different focus, a way for all of them to get to your point

175
00:15:35,750 --> 00:15:36,890
to do it really good.

176
00:15:38,070 --> 00:15:42,530
So, the ward of the future got dialed in that, a technology of all of that, that's a big

177
00:15:42,530 --> 00:15:46,070
in that building, you're just referring to instead of

178
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:49,280
quite a

179
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:49,660
developmental

180
00:15:52,500 --> 00:15:55,100
pit-castical creep, so another role in this

181
00:15:55,100 --> 00:15:59,220
driver, the driver's statement saying that this is a

182
00:15:59,220 --> 00:16:03,160
housing first and circumstances where people would benefit

183
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:09,800
affordable housing, or, you know, that would be what this

184
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:14,400
certainly, this one is, it's not the intent, at least people

185
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:16,840
to talk internally to get this view

186
00:16:19,020 --> 00:16:21,020
or for a store where it's 4 to 6

187
00:16:26,910 --> 00:16:27,870
so I don't know

188
00:16:27,870 --> 00:16:33,610
what else would come to mind would be like a first year to think about if

189
00:16:36,460 --> 00:16:36,880
there's something

190
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:40,820
like that, seeing a whole lot, really, I mean, whether it's business that would go down

191
00:17:02,450 --> 00:17:03,190
through a lot of

192
00:17:03,190 --> 00:17:06,290
nice things that we'd like to do, but

193
00:17:12,310 --> 00:17:17,970
if I understood a bit of the evolution of the plan and the

194
00:17:17,970 --> 00:17:24,710
district there, you know, it was to strike that balance between both of those objectives.

195
00:17:24,710 --> 00:17:28,030
So it was not to carve out and say, you know,

196
00:17:28,070 --> 00:17:31,230
this is going to be exclusively affordable housing

197
00:17:31,230 --> 00:17:32,310
focused.

198
00:17:32,510 --> 00:17:34,870
I mean, it never using the word exclusively,

199
00:17:35,290 --> 00:17:37,690
but never pointing in that direction.

200
00:17:37,870 --> 00:17:43,750
I think that came from how the city and its capital

201
00:17:43,750 --> 00:17:48,430
improvement plan decided to allocate dollars for the RDA.

202
00:17:48,990 --> 00:17:53,950
And so we've got one cool of funds that's hanging out here

203
00:17:53,950 --> 00:17:58,350
available to us for affordable housing issues,

204
00:17:58,750 --> 00:18:03,650
but we still have a base of assets, investments in land.

205
00:18:04,510 --> 00:18:07,390
And so forth, here, that doesn't go away,

206
00:18:08,070 --> 00:18:10,590
unless we choose to grant it all away

207
00:18:10,590 --> 00:18:12,710
in terms of incentives and so forth.

208
00:18:12,990 --> 00:18:15,390
And so that those resources as well,

209
00:18:15,590 --> 00:18:21,050
and I don't think that anybody, this is opinion,

210
00:18:21,310 --> 00:18:23,550
this isn't a fact, but I don't think

211
00:18:23,550 --> 00:18:29,850
that our hands are so tied by the affordable housing side

212
00:18:29,850 --> 00:18:32,750
that we don't have opportunities to do things.

213
00:18:33,130 --> 00:18:35,970
And so I'd be a little bit of a theory, you know,

214
00:18:35,970 --> 00:18:39,750
for example, the piece adjacent to the cannery,

215
00:18:40,530 --> 00:18:42,110
the industrial building we've talked about

216
00:18:42,110 --> 00:18:44,590
in the most times that there, you know,

217
00:18:44,590 --> 00:18:46,590
I don't know that we have the finances to do that,

218
00:18:46,590 --> 00:18:52,950
but I wouldn't want to definitely exclude that possibility

219
00:18:52,950 --> 00:19:03,470
from RDA activities, you know, by narrowing the scope on this district because I think the

220
00:19:03,470 --> 00:19:10,210
idea had always been, you know, we don't want to do a piece by piece redevelopment district

221
00:19:10,210 --> 00:19:19,070
for a specific property. We want to do areas and so this bigger plan was kind of a compromise

222
00:19:19,070 --> 00:19:25,650
towards that. I don't know what the answer is in terms of defining it and maybe it's to

223
00:19:25,650 --> 00:19:32,670
the point of saying, you know, we are our shift in focuses primarily in affordable housing,

224
00:19:33,030 --> 00:19:40,650
but in this district, but you know, it doesn't have to be kind of exclude, I don't think we

225
00:19:40,650 --> 00:19:43,090
move to an exclusive in that way.

226
00:19:47,260 --> 00:19:54,720
Is there interest in affirming that the intent is

227
00:19:55,220 --> 00:19:58,680
for projects that occur in this district?

228
00:20:00,370 --> 00:20:05,240
Are at a affordable housing component?

229
00:20:09,370 --> 00:20:10,610
The next use.

230
00:20:14,060 --> 00:20:18,300
As of the way the funding is written, we're a little like it's almost like we're

231
00:20:18,300 --> 00:20:23,200
going to have a couple, we'll like a couple of funding pools that everything in accounting

232
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:29,660
is going to have to deal with, but I think if you do something like that, then when we

233
00:20:29,660 --> 00:20:38,060
have other funding available, we're then having to repeat the process of district day, right?

234
00:20:38,060 --> 00:20:41,640
We recognize there's, we have other funds currently available.

235
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:45,660
We recognize there's pieces within this project also that do that need,

236
00:20:45,900 --> 00:20:49,660
that probably would not fit in that portable housing initiative, right?

237
00:20:50,500 --> 00:20:54,580
Like, sort of we go, create two and same districts,

238
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:58,340
but one uses this funding, one uses this and it's sort of a,

239
00:20:58,340 --> 00:21:00,900
I guess maybe I'm thinking of examples of like the South,

240
00:21:00,900 --> 00:21:05,880
the South, the South, the Lake Street, we've talked about,

241
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:12,020
You know, these other pockets of districts that maybe it is an affordable housing project

242
00:21:12,020 --> 00:21:21,120
that fits here, but if there are other mechanisms or other, I guess, is it appropriate

243
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:24,260
for, as the question I'm wrestling with?

244
00:21:24,360 --> 00:21:32,500
Is it appropriate for us to take this approach with virtually city-wide district to take

245
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:44,700
areas like that may be more appropriate as a single district. So does this just is the ease of

246
00:21:44,700 --> 00:21:46,440
administration appropriate?

247
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:55,440
I think is what I'm trying to understand. I think you're back to where we started, right?

248
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:56,660
Because this is so big.

249
00:21:58,740 --> 00:22:05,160
We've been and we've never done it and you're going to you'll have

250
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:15,940
the district that you can't really just say it's exclusive to affordable housing because you certainly know that there are districts within this district that you might go in and say here's four blocks we're going to

251
00:22:15,940 --> 00:22:17,380
We do want to

252
00:22:17,380 --> 00:22:24,480
Buy them raise them and turn that into and it could be some affordable housing it could be some commercial so I think the clarification here is

253
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:32,160
There's to Jenny's point there's dollars in our affordable housing and if we lay over this big huge district is this helpful this is more helpful to the city to have a bigger zone

254
00:22:32,980 --> 00:22:37,340
And to the RDA, or is it more complicated?

255
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:38,740
And maybe that's just an ear request.

256
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:38,980
Right?

257
00:22:39,020 --> 00:22:40,360
Like, does this just get more complicated?

258
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:42,300
Because it's written so that's affordable housing.

259
00:22:42,540 --> 00:22:45,080
But yeah, we clearly know what's to the canary.

260
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:47,480
You know, there's places in here where you're going to do commercial.

261
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,980
Does this just allow them to shift the focus?

262
00:22:51,120 --> 00:22:53,560
But because it's not exclusive to housing?

263
00:22:54,700 --> 00:22:55,720
Because it's a huge district.

264
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:58,980
I mean, this is a very large footprint around everything.

265
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:00,600
You're going to have a little bit of all of it in there.

266
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:12,540
I don't want to say harmful because that's not the right word, but I mean, is it helpful or harmful to have it be so big that you then just really is kind of the magic very wanted to say, okay, here's where we're going to go and we don't have to come back and change his own.

267
00:23:12,820 --> 00:23:14,800
I don't know.

268
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:42,060
And maybe to that point, the question is, you know, is there a parallel between what we talked about for the river, you know, the industrial area, the same, where we've got three focus areas with it, but it's one district, there, you know, I see that it's potentially a parallel ease of convenient, you know,

269
00:23:42,060 --> 00:23:50,980
administration and so forth that, you know, by definition, okay, we want these to gather, but we've got a really three different focused pieces there.

270
00:23:51,340 --> 00:23:58,820
You've got this large area, but you can have focus built or developed within that in that effort.

271
00:23:59,960 --> 00:24:02,320
But it may be a question for there.

272
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:11,300
I know, you know, the question of, you know, that the large size of this part of the staff thinking with this is,

273
00:24:11,300 --> 00:24:19,520
by the properties that would potentially be targeted for affordable housing would be available

274
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:23,940
to the city either on the tax rolls of the county if they're going to buy taxes.

275
00:24:24,100 --> 00:24:27,860
We give the first choice of those poor people accurate, but it'll be part of our building's

276
00:24:27,860 --> 00:24:38,000
inspections. On the third leg of the stool would be existing parcels of the city owners that are

277
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:41,560
project to rebuild the house and they're making a lot of store remains but now they're

278
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:46,320
only looking at what I was trying to run there. So part of the overall size of it was

279
00:24:47,360 --> 00:24:58,300
to allow for the maximum exposure of both properties to come to the REA as well as trade

280
00:24:58,300 --> 00:24:59,960
encompass the different areas of view.

281
00:25:11,140 --> 00:25:33,840
So we wanted to have areas of the city that seem to have a higher incidence, the streets of those, and they're all over. They're not in one area. There's someone on our side. There's someone on the cell side by soccer park. So it was just, it wasn't an effort to not be focused. It was warm enough for it to try to take place.

282
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:38,480
yet is many opportunities to be able to choose the best points for that,

283
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:43,520
is that a smaller extent to that is to not have affordable housing

284
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:47,000
kind of needed in the one area, they have the poorest growth of the community.

285
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:51,940
So, yeah, it's a 70% of the city, sort of a lot of what area

286
00:25:51,940 --> 00:25:54,360
I'll take to go through.

287
00:25:55,940 --> 00:26:03,560
I wanted to also offer, I agree that the intent, I think, of this district,

288
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:05,560
who's really focused on affordable housing.

289
00:26:05,900 --> 00:26:08,980
And I think I feel comfortable and quite confident

290
00:26:08,980 --> 00:26:11,560
that that's reflected in the plan right now.

291
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,800
And I do think, especially with consideration some of the

292
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:18,560
points raised about future funding sources,

293
00:26:18,620 --> 00:26:21,340
maybe not being so limited to affordable housing

294
00:26:21,340 --> 00:26:27,480
specifically and kind of how could that fit into the plan,

295
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:29,340
what would we in the plan want to make sure

296
00:26:29,340 --> 00:26:33,040
is, I guess, eligible and eligible use of those funds

297
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:37,760
that aren't so restricted, and I do think there's something to be said about commercial

298
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:42,380
properties and how, although they might not be creating new affordable housing units,

299
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:47,380
they can create more affordable neighborhoods, I think about some commercial things like grocery

300
00:26:47,380 --> 00:26:56,280
stores and childcare providers. And so, I think I see the value of including some language

301
00:26:56,280 --> 00:27:01,040
that would allow for that type of flexibility. I do think it'd be helpful, maybe to clarify,

302
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:06,720
You know, at least a broad intent across every project is part of this district, having some

303
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:13,080
link back to affordable, affordable living, affordable neighborhoods, community connectedness,

304
00:27:13,140 --> 00:27:14,880
because those things matter too.

305
00:27:16,260 --> 00:27:19,640
And so I guess I don't know that I have something really specific, like a specific piece of

306
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:22,600
feedback to offer about how exactly to accomplish that.

307
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:27,320
But I guess my two sense on the issues, I see value and I see that, you know, how commercial

308
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:31,000
properties can't link back to affordable living for people in all clear.

309
00:27:32,580 --> 00:27:34,720
I see both sides of that issue.

310
00:27:36,930 --> 00:27:37,290
Thank you.

311
00:27:37,610 --> 00:27:42,770
I really like where this conversation is going, and it's bringing me more confidence.

312
00:27:44,210 --> 00:27:52,250
And I think kind of comparing this to the previous, and I really like that link of having

313
00:27:52,250 --> 00:27:56,190
There are noticeable sections of the prior plan.

314
00:27:58,310 --> 00:28:05,450
And so the Section F future land use map is where that occurred in the previous plan.

315
00:28:06,030 --> 00:28:11,670
Maybe there's an opportunity to do the same sort of thing in this one to say.

316
00:28:12,090 --> 00:28:18,870
In this, here are, you know, it was easy to call out certain sites in the other one.

317
00:28:18,870 --> 00:28:22,950
But, you know, it's sort of that, maybe it may be, it may be we do call out South

318
00:28:22,950 --> 00:28:31,350
Marstone, South of Lake Street, or West of the Cannery District, or North Forest Street,

319
00:28:31,390 --> 00:28:31,690
neighborhood.

320
00:28:34,230 --> 00:28:38,950
Maybe there's an opportunity to call those out so that we can be more specific about what we're trying

321
00:28:38,950 --> 00:28:40,910
to do in these areas.

322
00:28:49,230 --> 00:28:58,070
towards that end, I guess, say, try to keep the meeting on topic and focus.

323
00:28:58,990 --> 00:29:04,690
Do we, our, am I sensing a consensus that we'd like to continue this discussion with Aaron,

324
00:29:05,550 --> 00:29:10,390
and post-pone approval on this until January's meeting?

325
00:29:15,050 --> 00:29:15,230
I'm not sure.

326
00:29:15,370 --> 00:29:18,250
Do we do that with the motion or the lack of action?

327
00:29:18,250 --> 00:29:25,250
And you did all of it offer you a get some motion to postpone action on the side of

328
00:29:25,250 --> 00:29:30,610
until the January with the discussion at that time.

329
00:29:30,610 --> 00:29:31,050
I'll second.

330
00:29:31,470 --> 00:29:31,670
Okay.

331
00:29:31,670 --> 00:29:32,850
We have motion in second.

332
00:29:33,110 --> 00:29:33,930
Any further discussion?

333
00:29:36,860 --> 00:29:38,560
All those in favor of postponements.

334
00:29:38,780 --> 00:29:40,080
Signify by saying aye.

335
00:29:40,580 --> 00:29:40,660
Aye.

336
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:41,600
Those opposed.

337
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:42,060
Signify?

338
00:29:43,140 --> 00:29:44,940
The motion to postpone is approved.

339
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:55,860
For feedback for Erin, if I got a lot of notes, but if I put it in a high level, you guys like the affordable housing.

340
00:29:56,020 --> 00:29:59,500
You want the focus to be there, but you also want something to frightening.

341
00:30:00,050 --> 00:30:04,290
I'll allow commercial where appropriate. Okay.

342
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:18,300
Eat that. And if there were opportunities to call out our highlight areas, just as we have discussion

343
00:30:18,300 --> 00:30:25,620
around the southwest quadrant or whatever in the city, you know, it was kind of three sub-projects or whatever.

344
00:30:25,620 --> 00:30:35,360
if there were a capability to at least create a few focus points that might be helpful for

345
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:37,340
future boards to discuss.

346
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:44,040
I think all this ultimately comes down to an already a board that can selectively approve

347
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:53,560
or deny opportunities that can maintain an affordability of housing focus in any of those

348
00:30:53,560 --> 00:31:00,860
projects, but if we're setting a mission and we're setting a plan, let's try to get that built in as much as we can.

349
00:31:03,170 --> 00:31:04,230
That and facing.

350
00:31:05,450 --> 00:31:06,730
We've got that.

351
00:31:08,370 --> 00:31:09,630
All right.

352
00:31:10,010 --> 00:31:12,310
We have any other questions.

353
00:31:12,890 --> 00:31:13,990
Billy Hissier.

354
00:31:14,990 --> 00:31:15,150
I don't know.

355
00:31:15,430 --> 00:31:17,690
I think I think I got a good conversation.

356
00:31:18,990 --> 00:31:22,650
Any updates then from the Braunfields assessment grant update?

357
00:31:23,430 --> 00:31:24,150
I don't have anything.

358
00:31:24,150 --> 00:31:25,290
And he didn't share anything.

359
00:31:25,510 --> 00:31:27,370
Just morning, less paid, would know anything.

360
00:31:28,430 --> 00:31:31,370
I'm not familiar with that.

361
00:31:31,610 --> 00:31:34,490
With that, it's mentally just, I apologize.

362
00:31:36,330 --> 00:31:41,290
And then from an executive director's report, we all want that.

363
00:31:41,290 --> 00:31:42,510
You guys are doing great.

364
00:31:45,430 --> 00:31:45,830
Keep it up.

365
00:31:46,350 --> 00:31:48,130
Well, thank you so much.

366
00:31:48,330 --> 00:31:49,630
I appreciate that.

367
00:31:50,470 --> 00:31:53,250
With that, I see that our next meeting date

368
00:31:53,250 --> 00:32:00,170
scheduled for January 21st, I think it would only add the comment that, you know, any other

369
00:32:00,170 --> 00:32:06,110
feedback of, you know, let's make sure that we're offering that directly to Aaron as well,

370
00:32:07,050 --> 00:32:13,210
direct communications from any of us to him, in terms of refinement here ahead of that meeting,

371
00:32:14,950 --> 00:32:18,550
And then I will entertain the emotion to the journey.

372
00:32:20,700 --> 00:32:22,960
So most of the time, most of you,

373
00:32:23,580 --> 00:32:25,240
except that we're a journey.

374
00:32:32,340 --> 00:32:34,960
It was heard as a whole of my...

375
00:32:36,860 --> 00:32:41,010
You used to do that, but it was God Allen.

376
00:32:41,490 --> 00:32:46,010
I would do a hot, it would be just like, quite certain, so I could have that.

377
00:32:46,690 --> 00:32:48,590
It's like you could have it, like, no problem.

378
00:32:48,590 --> 00:32:49,730
Yeah.
