So, the 576 00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:11,919 sewer study is needing to get completed 577 00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:14,880 before anything else truly can take off. 578 00:24:11,919 --> 00:24:17,760 But I ultimately, it's hard for me to 579 00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:20,240 state what HCD looks at as compliance 580 00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:21,919 with, you know, uh anybody when it comes 581 00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:23,840 to the housing element. So I would hate 582 00:24:21,919 --> 00:24:26,799 to speak on terms of what they consider 583 00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:30,799 to be us you know uh successful within 584 00:24:26,799 --> 00:24:32,880 the housing itself. So within the scope 585 00:24:30,799 --> 00:24:34,480 of the work that we currently have 586 00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:36,559 signed up and the things that I have 587 00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:38,720 listed and and the oversighted that we 588 00:24:36,559 --> 00:24:40,799 have I think I'm kind of prioritizing 589 00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:44,000 coming to you within the next 90 days to 590 00:24:40,799 --> 00:24:46,240 gain better understanding that I 591 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:48,720 understand what the priority is and that 592 00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:51,039 our priority is aligned with what the 593 00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:52,880 council would like to see. But as an 594 00:24:51,039 --> 00:24:54,799 example, I mean, I could just list what 595 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:55,919 those priorities are for you ultimately 596 00:24:54,799 --> 00:24:58,320 right now. They're written on my 597 00:24:55,919 --> 00:24:59,600 whiteboard in my office. So, 598 00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:02,720 » I guess I'm just trying to understand 599 00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:05,600 the the the priority setting process 600 00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:07,760 that you're talking about. So, isn't our 601 00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:12,320 priority to comply with the housing 602 00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:15,120 element that we got certified by HCD? 603 00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:17,440 » Yes. 604 00:25:15,120 --> 00:25:20,159 There's like a 100 deliverables in that 605 00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:22,320 document. And so I think that we have to 606 00:25:20,159 --> 00:25:24,159 prioritize what we think are the most 607 00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:26,559 important deliverables. And so that's 608 00:25:24,159 --> 00:25:29,279 what I'm saying. So ultimately I've 609 00:25:26,559 --> 00:25:32,799 looked through that document with the um 610 00:25:29,279 --> 00:25:35,520 attorney and with the planning director 611 00:25:32,799 --> 00:25:38,000 and we've kind of loosely articulated 612 00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:39,919 what we think are the priorities. And so 613 00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:41,600 we're about to kick that off, I guess, 614 00:25:39,919 --> 00:25:44,159 ultimately. And so we will be coming to 615 00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:47,039 you to make sure obviously every single 616 00:25:44,159 --> 00:25:48,960 item in there is a priority 617 00:25:47,039 --> 00:25:51,760 but some of them I believe are weighted 618 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:53,520 higher than others. And so uh we will be 619 00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:55,279 bringing that to you to make sure that 620 00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:57,200 everyone is on the same page through the 621 00:25:55,279 --> 00:25:59,120 process. 622 00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:01,200 » And if I could just add that the the 623 00:25:59,120 --> 00:26:03,200 housing element itself some of how the 624 00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:04,880 priorities are getting set are driven by 625 00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:06,559 the housing element. There's different 626 00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:08,880 target deadlines for the different 627 00:26:06,559 --> 00:26:11,840 deliverables. So a lot of them are 628 00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:14,159 focused on uh the larger items that have 629 00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:15,919 upcoming dates that we've committed to 630 00:26:14,159 --> 00:26:17,440 in the housing element. 631 00:26:15,919 --> 00:26:19,919 » Makes sense.
