Re: Housing Production Strategy Task Force Meeting#7
Dear Housing Production Strategy Task Force Member,
Please find the following materials in advance of the seventh meeting of the Housing Production
Strategy Task Force (HPS Task Force), scheduled for March 1, 2024 at 1:00 PM:
• HPS Task Force Meeting#7 Agenda
• Initial Housing Production Strategy Recommendations Memo, 2/8/2024
• Construction Excise Tax Supplemental Memo, 2/8/2024
The meeting is intended to serve as an extension of HPS Task Force Meeting#6, which was held
on February 16, 2023. The meeting will include a continued discussion of the Initial Housing
Production Strategy Recommendations Memo in order to develop a preferred list of strategies
for the Planning Commission and City Council to consider for inclusion in the Housing
Production Strategy (HPS).
More specifically,Task Force members will be asked to provide input on whether the strategies
under discussion will effectively help to meet the City's highest-priority needs as identified in
the Housing Needs Analysis (HNA). As discussed at previous meetings, these high-priority needs
can be sorted into the following categories:
• Government-subsidized housing units affordable to people with very low or low
incomes;
• Housing affordable to households with moderate incomes;
• Housing options/choices to meet a full range of household needs and preferences; and
• Housing opportunities for seniors, people with disabilities, and aging in place.
The meeting will focus primarily on a discussion related to the "Strategies Requiring Further
Discussion" as outlined in the Initial Housing Production Strategy Recommendations Memo. For
each of the "Strategies Requiring Further Discussion," Task Force members will be asked to
consider the following questions:
• Given the breadth of housing needs identified in the HNA, should this strategy be
considered for inclusion in the HPS? Is this an effective strategy to meet the housing
need it's intended to address?

• How successful would the City's HPS be without a new funding source?
• Would you recommend that this strategy be included in the HPS? Should it be removed?
Is there any additional information needed in order to determine whether to include or
remove this strategy?
As mentioned above, this is the second Task Force meeting focused on discussing the content
of the Initial Housing Production Strategy Recommendations Memo. Staff's intention is to
finalize the Task Force's discussion on the "Strategies Requiring Further Discussion", and to
address any remaining questions or suggestions related to the "Recommended Strategies" that
were discussed at Task Force Meeting#6. To help make our time together as productive as
possible, please be sure to review the meeting packet in advance and come prepared to
discuss the strategies.
As always, feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
aot,_____
