ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

[Consent Agenda]

UM, COULD I GET A MOTION TO APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA? CONSENT AGENDA SECOND.

AND THE FIRST ITEM IS ITEM NUMBER THREE, UPDATE ON THE SAN ANTONIO HOUSING TRUST JOINT TRANSITIONS COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS, AND WE'LL TURN THAT OVER TO PETE.

WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND TO APPROVE THE ITEM ON CONSENT.

UM, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

AYE.

ANY OPPOSED? OKAY, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

MOTION CARRIES.

SO WITH THAT, WE'LL GET INTO OUR, UH, AGENDA ITEMS,

[3. 21-3862 Update on the San Antonio Housing Trust Joint Transition Committee Recommendations. [Pedro Alanis, Director, San Antonio Housing Trust]]

THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.

UM, APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT A VERY LONG AWAITED EFFORT.

UM, AND I KNOW THAT, UH, SEVERAL MEMBERS OF THE BOARD HAVE, UM, UH, HAVE BEEN ON OUR BOARD WORKING VERY HARD, UH, SINCE SEPTEMBER ON THIS EFFORT.

UH, SO GO AHEAD AND, UH, ADVANCE THE NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.

IN, IN 2019, THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO ENGAGED, UH, NCA TO UNDERTAKE AN ASSESSMENT OF THE SAN ANTONIO HOUSING TRUST TO PROVIDE STRATEGIC RECOMMENDATIONS FOR STRENGTHENING, UH, THE HOUSING TRUST, UH, AND THEIR ASSOCIATED ENTITIES, WHICH WAS A KEY RECOMMENDATION OF THE MAYOR'S HOUSING POLICY TASK FORCE.

THE RECOMMENDATIONS INCLUDED HIRING AN EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, MONITORING COVENANTS, ESTABLISHING POLICIES, UM, INCREASING THE CAPITALIZATION OF THE TRUST, CLARIFYING PUBLIC POLICY GOALS, ET CETERA, ET CETERA.

HOWEVER, THE FIRST RECOMMENDATION WAS RELATED TO THE RESTRUCTURING THE COMPOSITION OF THE HOUSING TRUST ENTITIES WITH THE AIM OF HAVING A BETTER BALANCE, UM, OF THE COLLECTIVE SKILLS AND INTERESTS AND AUTHORITIES OF THE BOARD MEMBERS TO PROMOTE UNIFIED POLICY DEVELOPMENT PERSPECTIVE IN DECISION MAKING AND TRANSPARENCY.

SO, SOME OF THE REASONS WHY NCA, UH, WANTED TO SEE THIS AS A, EXCUSE ME.

ONE OF SOME OF THE REASONS WHY THEY WANTED TO SEE THE REALIGNMENT WAS, OF COURSE, THE BETTER BALANCE AND THE UNIFIED POLICYMAKING, ET CETERA.

BUT WHY WAS THIS ACTUALLY NECESSARY? SO THERE, THERE WAS A LACK OF COORDINATION BETWEEN THE 11 MEMBER HOUSING TRUST AND FOUNDATION BOARD AND THE FIVE MEMBER P F C AND FINANCE CORPORATION BOARD.

UM, THERE WAS LIMITED UNDERSTANDING OF THE ROLES OF EACH ENTITIES AND THE ACTIVITIES THAT EACH, UH, WAS DOING.

UM, WE DIDN'T REALLY HAVE A POLICY THAT COLLECTIVELY GUIDED THE ACTIONS OF THE FOUR BOARDS TO PURSUE THOSE COMMON GOALS.

AND THERE WAS SOME REAL AND PERCEIVED IMBALANCE OF AUTHORITY.

AND THIS IS ALL STRAIGHT FROM THE NOW, UH, ASSESSMENT.

SO THE ACTIONS THAT WERE BEING TAKEN BY, BY BOTH ENTITIES OF THE TRUST FOUNDATION, P SS C, AND FINANCE FOR, UM, YOU KNOW, THEY REQUIRE EXPERTISE AND PERSPECTIVE TO MAKE VERY COMPLICATED DECISIONS, UM, WITH THE RESPECTIVE AUTHORITIES.

THIS FOLLOWING PATH FORWARD.

SO, A JOINT TRANSITION COMMITTEE, UH, CONSISTING OF THREE MEMBERS OF THE P F C BOARD, UH, AND FINANCE CORP BOARD, AND THREE MEMBERS OF THE TRUST AND FOUNDATION BOARD, UM, WERE CREATED TO MAKE KEY RECOMMENDATIONS ON THE GOVERNANCE REALIGNMENT FRAMEWORK.

THE JOINT TRANSITION, UH, COMMITTEE HAS MET REGULARLY SINCE SEPTEMBER, UM, AND IS RECOMMENDING

[00:05:01]

UH, NEXT SLIDE.

UH, FIRST, UH, IN THE FIRST MEETING, THEY AGREED TO KIND OF MOVE FORWARD WITH A, WITH A, A BOARD STRUCTURE THAT UNIFIED THE BOARD MEMBERS ACROSS EACH LEGAL ENTITY.

AT THE SECOND JOINT TRANSITION COMMITTEE, THEY GOT INTO A LOT OF THE, THE, THE, THE DETAILS, INCLUDING HOW WE STAGGERED TERMS BOARD NOMINATIONS, TERM LIMIT STRUCTURES, SUBCOMMITTEES, UH, UM, THE ORDER OF APPROVAL OF PROGRESSION THAT'S REQUIRED TO ACTUALLY MAKE A GOVERNANCE CHANGE AT THIS TYPE.

UM, THE THIRD JOINT TRANSITION COMMITTEE, UH, PROVIDED GUIDANCE ON A RENEWED STATEMENT OF PURPOSE FOR THE HOUSING TRUST.

UH, THEY ASKED, UH, FOR US, UH, AS STAFF TO FINALIZE ALL THE LEGAL DOCUMENTS AND MAKE SURE THAT WE ESTABLISH CONSISTENCIES BETWEEN ALL FOUR ENTITIES FROM AN ORGANIZATIONAL STANDPOINT, UM, FOR THE P F C AND FINANCE CORPORATION COMMUNITY ADVISORS, UM, IF THEY ARE ELECTED TO AN OFFICER POSITION MAY VOTE.

AND SO THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS DECIDED DURING THE THIRD JOINT TRANSITION COMMITTEE, WHICH WAS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT FROM THE FIRST TIME WE MET AS A GROUP.

UM, BUT I THINK IT WAS A POSITIVE MOVE TO BE MORE INCLUSIVE OF COMMUNITY REPRESENTATION ON THE P F C AND FINANCE COURT BOARD.

AND THEN ON THE FOURTH MEETING, UH, WE HAD AGREED TO THE FINAL STATEMENT OF PURPOSE.

WE AGREED WITH THE PROCESS TO SELECT COMMUNITY BOARD MEMBERS, AND WE RECOMMENDED MOVING FORWARD WITH THE ALIGNMENT.

SO, HERE'S THE NEW STATEMENT OF PURPOSE FOR THE SAN ANTONIO HOUSING TRUST.

WE'LL BE COMMITTED TO CREATING AND PRESERVING HOUSING THAT IS PRIMARILY AFFORDABLE, ACCESSIBLE, ATTAINABLE, AND OR SUSTAINABLE TO RESIDENTS WITHIN THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO.

AND TO SUPPORT COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT EFFORTS THAT BUILD AND SUSTAIN NEIGHBORHOODS, EMPOWER RESIDENTS, AND PROVIDE FOR POSITIVE, EQUITABLE OUTCOMES.

THE FORMER STATEMENT WAS VERY LIMITING WITH RESPECT TO PRESERVING HOUSING IN THE INNER CITY AND DOWNTOWN NEIGHBORHOODS.

SO WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE, UH, UH, REVISED A STATEMENT THAT WAS INCLUSIVE OF ALL SAN ANTONIO.

FOR EACH AND EVERY BOARD MEMBER, EXCEPT FOR THE INITIAL STAGGERING, UH, UH, FOR THE INITIAL BOARD MEMBER MAKEUP.

SO, THIS, UH, SLIDE SHOWS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN OUR CURRENT OR EXISTING GOVERNANCE STRUCTURE AND THE PROPOSED GOVERNANCE STRUCTURE.

SO, AS BEFORE, UH, IN THE TRUST AND FOUNDATION, WE HAD 11 APPOINTED TRUSTEES, UH, OR DIRECTORS, UH, BY EACH COUNCIL DISTRICT AND THE MAYOR.

UH, AND THEN THEY WERE APPROVED OF COURSE, BY COUNCIL AND THE P F C SIDE AND FINANCE CORPORATION SIDE, WE HAD FIVE COUNCIL DIRECTORS THAT WERE APPOINTED BY THE MAYOR.

AND SO THE PROPOSED STRUCTURE UNIFIES THIS ACROSS THE BOARD.

WE WILL NOW HAVE FIVE COUNCIL MEMBERS ON EACH OF THE TRUST FOUNDATION, P O C AND FINANCE BOARD, AND WE WILL HAVE SIX COMMUNITY REPRESENTATIVES, THREE OF WHICH ARE HOUSING EXPERTS, AND THREE OF WHICH ARE COMMUNITY REPRESENTATIVES THAT WILL ALSO SIT ON EACH ONE OF THE BOARDS.

WE WILL ALSO HAVE ONE CITY, UH, STAFF PERSON, UH, CALLED THE CITY DIRECTOR OR ADVISOR, UH, AND THEY'RE GONNA BE ADVISORY ONLY.

I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT ON THE P F C AND FINANCE CORP STRUCTURES, UM, WE HAD, UH, UH, WE ALLOW FOR THOSE THREE, OR THOSE SIX COMMUNITY REPRESENTATIVES, UM, TO BE ADVISORY ONLY UNLESS THEY ARE ELECTED TO ONE OF THE FOUR OFFICER POSITIONS IN THE P F C STRUCTURE.

AND THAT IS DUE TO A COMBINATION OF THINGS.

NUMBER ONE, UH, THE NOW CAP RECOMMENDATION, WANTING TO MAKE SURE THAT BECAUSE THESE ARE TAX EXEMPTING TOOLS, THESE ARE, ARE, ARE OUR TAX ISSUANCE TYPE TOOLS, BOND EXEMPT TOOLS THAT, UH, UM, THAT ULTIMATELY THE RESPONSIBILITY LIE TO THE ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES OF THE COMMUNITY.

SO, AT, AT, AT MOST, THERE COULD BE FOUR COMMUNITY REPRESENTATIVES WHO ARE ELECTED TO THE BOARD, WHO CAN THEN, OR TO THE AS DIRECTORS WHO CAN VOTE IN THE P S E IN FINANCE COURT, BUT THEY WILL NOT OUTNUMBER THE FIVE COUNCIL DIRECTORS THAT ARE THERE THAT CAN VOTE.

UM, NEXT SLIDE PLEASE.

UM, THERE ARE FIVE COUNCIL BOARD MEMBERS, UM, THAT ARE GONNA BE NOMINATED BY THE MAYOR.

THIS IS PRETTY CONSISTENT WITH HOW THAT IS NOW, UM, THERE WILL BE SIX COMMUNITY BOARD MEMBERS, UM, THAT THE GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE, WHICH WILL INITIALLY WILL BE THIS, UH, UH, SIX MEMBER JOINT TRANSITION COMMITTEE TO NOMINATE THE SIX COMMUNITY BOARD MEMBERS.

AND I'LL EXPLAIN THAT PROCESS HERE SHORTLY.

BUT ULTIMATELY, CITY COUNCIL APPROVES ALL THE BOARD MEMBERS.

UM, THERE ARE GONNA BE FOUR YEAR TERMS

[00:10:01]

WE WILL HAVE, UH, UH, SETS OF DIRECTORS WHO ARE GONNA DRAW STRAWS AND SEE WHO'S GONNA GET THE INITIAL TWO YEAR TERM AND WHO'S GONNA GET THE INITIAL FOUR YEAR TERM.

AND AS I STATED BEFORE, THERE ARE FOUR OFFICER POSITIONS IN EACH LEGAL ENTITY.

THE BOARD PRESIDENT, UM, ESSENTIALLY IS THE, THE PERSON WHO HAS THE AUTHORITY TO CREATE AD HOC COMMITTEES, UM, AND FOR THE NECESSARY TASK IN THE BUSINESS OF EACH LEGAL ENTITY.

UM, THE GOVERNANCE AND POLICY COMMITTEE AND FINANCE AUDIT COMMITTEE ARE GOING TO BE TWO STANDING COMMITTEES.

UH, ONE WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR OVERSEEING, UH, ANY SELECTION OR RECOMMENDATIONS, EXCUSE ME, OF NEW DIRECTORS, UH, TO CITY COUNCIL AND OVERSEE POLICY DEVELOPMENT AND OF COURSE, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR EVALUATIONS.

UM, AND THE FINANCE AND AUDIT COMMITTEE WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REVIEWING AND PREPARING THE ANNUAL BUDGET AND OVERSEEING AUDITS.

UM, AND THESE ARE STANDING COMMITTEES THAT WILL NOT CHANGE.

THERE'LL BE, UH, UNIFORM ACROSS ALL FOUR ENTITIES.

UH, THE STANDING COMMITTEES MUST HAVE AT LEAST ONE COUNCIL DIRECTOR AND AT LEAST ONE COMMUNITY DIRECTOR, BUT THEY CAN BE MADE UP OF HOW EVER THE BOARD AT THE TIME DECIDES TO MAKE IT UP.

THIS IS JUST A MINIMUM STANDARD.

UH, COMMUNITY BOARD QUALIFICATION.

SO THE, THE COMMUNITY REPRESENTATIVES, UH, THERE ARE GONNA BE THREE, AND THEY'RE GONNA BE THREE HOUSING INDUSTRY EXPERTS.

THE COMMUNITY BOARD MEMBERS, UH, SHOULD HAVE PRIOR EXPERIENCE IN HOUSING ADVOCACY, NONPROFIT FUNDRAISING, POLICY MAKING, COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT, OR THEY COULD BE SOMEBODY WHO RESIDES IN AFFORDABLE HOUSING UNIT, INCLUDING ONE OF OUR OWN, UH, HOUSING TRUST, UH, UH, PROPERTIES.

THE HOUSING INDUSTRY EXPERTS ARE GONNA BE THREE COMMUNITY BOARD MEMBERS THAT HAVE EXPERTISE IN REAL ESTATE, FINANCIAL UNDERWRITING, PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT, CAPITAL MARKETS, LENDING, CONSTRUCTION, PROPERTY MANAGEMENT, ET CETERA.

THEY HAVE TO BE RELEVANT TO THE HOUSING INDUSTRY EXPERIENCE.

THE COMMUNITY BOARD MEMBERS OF SIX MEMBERS, UH, WILL BE SELECTED, UM, AFTER CITY COUNCIL APPROVES THE BOARD REALIGNMENT, WHICH IS ANTICIPATED.

IF IT PASSES COMMITTEE TODAY ON JUNE 10TH, THE CITY CLERK WILL PREPARE THOSE APPLICATIONS FOR THE NEW BOARD.

UH, THE HOUSING TRUST WILL COMMENCE, UH, UH, A CAMPAIGN TO EDUCATE AND INVITE PERSONS TO ACTUALLY BE BOARD MEMBERS.

WE WANNA, UH, CAST A VERY WIDE NET AND, AND MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE GETTING GOOD REPRESENTATION, UH, HERE IN, IN, IN THE CITY.

UM, THE CITY CLERK WILL ACCEPT THOSE APPLICATIONS, AND THEY WILL FORWARD THEM TO THE CITY ATTORNEY WHO WILL PROVIDE THEIR STANDARD VETTING PROCESS THAT THEY, THEY DO FOR ALL COMMITTEES.

UM, THE JOINT TRANSITION COMMITTEE WILL RECEIVE THOSE VETTED APPLICATIONS AND THEN WILL MEET TO PROVIDE THOSE SIX COMMITTEE BOARD SELECTION, REC, UH, RECOMMENDATIONS.

THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS WILL GO TO, UM, EITHER CITY COUNCIL OR TO WHATEVER SORT OF, OF PROCESS, UM, THAT THE CITY DECIDES IS THE BEST WAY TO MOVE THAT UP.

WHETHER IT GOES TO GOVERNANCE FIRST, UH, UH, THEN TO CITY COUNCIL.

THE JOINT TRANSITION COMMITTEE JUST MAKES THE RECOMMENDATIONS BASED ON REVIEWING THOSE APPLICATIONS.

AND UPON COUNCIL APPROVAL, UH, THE ORGANIZATIONAL DOCUMENTS WILL BE FILED, AND THEN THE JOINT TRANSITION COMMITTEE IS DISBANDED.

WE CANNOT FILE THE ORGANIZATION FORMATION DOCUMENTS WITH THE STATE UNTIL WE HAVE ALL OF THE BOARD MEMBERS IN PLACE.

THAT THE VOTING MEMBERS HAVE TO EITHER BE AN OFFICER, A CITY EMPLOYEE, OR, UH, AN ELECTED REPRESENTATIVE OF, OF THE COMMUNITY.

UM, WE DID PRESENT TO THE HOUSING COMMISSION, UM, I BELIEVE IT WAS YESTERDAY OR THE DAY BEFORE.

UM, THE, THE HOUSING COMMISSION HAD SOME COMMENTS.

UH, ONE OF 'EM WAS, HEY, FOUR YEARS IS A LONG TIME FOR A VOLUNTEER TO COMMIT TO A BOARD.

UM, THEY, THEY WANTED TO SEE THOSE COMMUNITY ADVISORS BE ABLE TO, TO, TO FULLY VOTE ACROSS ALL COURT ENTITIES.

UM, THE HOUSING TRUST, UH, SHOULD BE REACHING TOWARDS EQUITABLE PRACTICES AND PARTICIPATION AS THERE ARE DIFFERENT BURDENS FOR DIFFERENT STAKEHOLDERS.

AND THERE WAS GENERAL AGREEMENT ON THE STATEMENT OF PURPOSE, UH, AND THEY APPRECIATED US FOCUSING ON THOSE EQUITABLE OUTCOMES.

UM, AND THERE WAS A COMMENT THAT SAID THAT CHANGING FROM THE INNER CITY AND DOWNTOWN FOCUS WAS A GOOD CHANGE.

SO I DID ADDRESS ALL OF THESE COMMENTS AND CONCERNS, UM, AT THE HOUSING COMMISSION.

I THINK IN GENERAL, THEY'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO, UH, UH, SEEING THE REALIGNMENT OCCUR.

UM, THERE WERE SOME REASONS WHY THE COMMUNITY ADVISORS, UM, WON'T BE ALLOWED TO, UH, TO VOTE, UM, ON THE, UH, ESPECIALLY THE FINANCE CORPORATION BECAUSE OF STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS

[00:15:02]

UM, SO THERE ARE SOME LIMITATIONS ON WHY THOSE COMMUNITY ADVISORS CAN'T JUST HAVE FREE ACCESS TO VOTE.

SO, UM, WITH THAT, THE TIMELINE FOR MOVING EVERYTHING FORWARD, UM, WE'RE GONNA BE PRESENTING TO OUR P F C BOARD AND OUR, UH, UM, FOUNDATION TRUST BOARDS, UH, OVER THE NEXT TWO DAYS.

UM, AND WE HOPE THAT CITY COUNCIL, UM, CAN APPROVE THE REALIGNMENT ON JUNE 10TH.

WE WOULD START OUR COMMUNITY BOARD MEMBER APPLICATION PROCESS, UH, DURING THE JULY BREAK, AND HOPEFULLY WE COUNCIL COMES BACK, UH, FROM THEIR, THEIR BREAK, WE CAN THEN HAVE A RECOMMENDATION OF SIX BOARD MEMBERS, UH, TO FILL THOSE SEATS.

UM, THEN AFTER THAT, WE WOULD FILE, UM, EVERYTHING WITH THE CLERK AND THE STATE AS APPROPRIATE.

AND, AND WE'RE DONE.

SO AT THIS TIME, I'M AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE.

WELL, THANK YOU, UH, PETE.

UM, A LOT OF, A LOT OF WORK WENT INTO THIS, UM, AND A LOT OF FEEDBACK FROM ALL THE STAKEHOLDERS, A LOT OF SAUSAGE MAKING IN THIS PROCESS.

SO THANK YOU TO MY COLLEAGUES, UH, COUNCILMAN AND COUNCIL MEMBER , UM, AND ALL THE BOARD MEMBERS THAT HELPED TO, TO MOVE THIS ALONG.

SO I WAS IN, UH, INVOLVED IN THIS.

UM, SO I DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, BUT I'LL OPEN IT UP TO SEE IF ANYBODY ELSE DOES.

UM, ANY QUESTIONS FOR MY COLLEAGUES? NO, IT LOOKS, OH, OKAY.

GO AHEAD.

UH, COUNCILMAN COURAGE.

YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE, UH, CONCERNS THAT I RAISED WHEN I TALKED TO PETE ABOUT THIS WAS THAT, UH, TYPICALLY THE, UH, CITY, UH, COUNCIL GOVERNANCE BOARD, UH, OVERSEES APPOINTMENTS TO A LOT OF POSITIONS THAT THE CITY APPOINTS PEOPLE TO.

UH, AND SO I, I HOPE THAT, THAT THE GOVERNANCE BOARD WILL STILL BE WITHIN THIS PROCESS.

I KNOW WHEN, WHEN WE APPOINT PEOPLE TO SAS OR C P S OR, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF OTHER COMMISSIONS, UH, THE GOVERNANCE BOARD REVIEWS A LOT OF THOSE APPLICANTS.

AND, YOU KNOW, WE'LL GO AHEAD AND MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS TOO.

SO I'D JUST LIKE TO KEEP THAT, UH, COMMON PRACTICE, UH, GOING IN HOW THIS STRUCTURE MOVES FORWARD.

UM, COUNCIL MEMBER COURAGE FOR THAT.

COUNCILMAN , DID YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? DID YOU HAVE A QUESTION? I DIDN'T HAVE A QUESTION.

I JUST WANTED TO THANK YOU, UH, CHAIR AND THANK PETE FOR THE WORK.

AND, AND YOU'RE RIGHT.

UM, A LOT OF CONVERSATIONS, A LOT OF GOOD, UM, INSIGHTS FROM SELENA, FROM PAUL, FROM JOHN, UM, AND, AND ALL OF YOU IN THIS, IN THIS CONVERSATION.

AND I FEEL LIKE IT, WELL, IT HAS BEEN YEARS SINCE NOW C DID THEIR FIRST PRESENTATION TO US.

AND, UM, THE ALIGNMENT THAT IS NEEDED, AND THAT IS POSSIBLE.

AND WE ALL KNOW THAT NOAH BOYO IS NOW WORK WORKING IN THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION.

SO I THINK THIS IS A GOOD ALIGNMENT THAT WE, WE NEED TO, UM, THAT'S BEEN LONG OVERDUE, AND I THINK IT ALSO HELPS US WITH OUR, UH, COMING UNDER THE, THE STATEMENT THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE COMING UNDER AND, UM, MAKING SURE THAT WE ALL KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING ACROSS ALL OF THE DIFFERENT ENTITIES AND TALKING TO ONE ANOTHER.

I THINK IT'S CRITICAL.

AND, UM, I, I THINK THOSE ARE ALL MY COMMENTS.

SO I, I MOVE TO APPROVE.

WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND FOR APPROVAL OF ITEM NUMBER TWO.

UH, COUNCILMAN NIA, DID YOU HAVE SOME COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS? WELL, REALLY JUST, UH, ALSO JUST TO THANK YOU AND COUNCILMAN GERRAN, WANT TO THANK PETE AND NCA, UH, YOU KNOW, THE, THIS IS, UM, AS, AS YOU MENTIONED, WAS, WAS A LOT OF, A LOT OF HOURS TO PUT TOGETHER.

SO, SO THANK YOU.

AND I'LL, I'LL BE SUPPORTING.

WELL, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND, UM, OH, IS THAT, LOOKS LIKE A, DID WE NEED AN ACTION ON THAT ITEM? UH, PETE, ARE WE APPROVING? YEAH.

I BELIEVE IT'S A, A RECOMMENDATION TO MOVE FORWARD THE ALIGNMENT TO CITY COUNCIL ON JUNE 10TH FOR APPROVAL.

OKAY, GREAT.

SO WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND FOR APPROVAL TO, THAT'S MY MOTION.

THAT'S MY MOTION CHAIR.

UH, ALL IN FAVOR, PLEASE SAY AYE.

MOTION.

AND A SECOND TO MOVE ALL BACK TO THE CITY COUNCIL ON JUNE 10TH.

[00:20:01]

AYE.

ANY OPPOSED? SAME TIME.

LET'S MOVE ON TO ITEM NUMBER FOUR.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

MOTION CARRIES.

THAT WAS ITEM NUMBER THREE.

[4. 21-3896 Briefing of the Somerset Grove proposed petition initiated TIRZ located at 9300 IH-35 South and 9400 Somerset Road in southwest San Antonio in Council District 4. [Lori Houston, Assistant City Manager; Verónica R. Soto, FAICP, Director, Neighborhood and Housing Services]]

SORRY, COUNCIL.

SO ITEM NUMBER FOUR IS A BRIEFING OF SOMERSET GROVE PROPOSED PETITION, INITIATING TURS, RIGHT, COUNCILWOMAN.

UM, THIS ITEM WAS PRESENTED OR INTRODUCED BY VERA SOTA, WHO WILL INTRODUCE THE APPROPRIATE STAFF AS WELL.

GREAT.

UM, GOOD MORNING EVERYONE.

VERONICA SOTO WITH NEIGHBORHOOD AND HEALTH SERVICES.

THE ITEM BEFORE YOU IS, IS A PROPOSED PETITION INITIATED TAX INCREMENT REINVESTMENT ZONE, UH, CALLED SOMERSET GROVE.

AND, UH, I'LL GO ON TO THE NEXT SLIDE.

AS I MENTIONED THAT WE DO HAVE REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE DEVELOPER, UM, ON THE CALL AS WELL, SO THEY CAN ANSWER QUESTIONS BEFORE I GET TO THE DETAILS OF THIS PARTICULAR SUBDIVISION.

JUST A LITTLE REFRESHER ON TAX INCREMENT FINANCING.

SO, TAX INCREMENT FINANCING IS A TOOL, IT'S AN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT TOOL AVAILABLE FOR MUNICIPALITIES TO USE TO HAVE A DEVELOPMENT BE SPURRED IN AREAS THAT ARE UNDERPERFORMING.

AND SO THE, THE WHOLE, UM, SETTING OF THIS IS THAT YOU DESIGNATE A PARTICULAR AREA AT THE TAX INCREMENT REINVESTMENT ZONE.

YOU SET THE BOUNDARIES FOR THAT, AND WHATEVER THE TAXES ARE IN THE YEAR, YOU ESTABLISH THAT DISTRICT.

THAT'S CALLED THE BASE YEAR.

THE THE DESIGNATION IS FOR A SET PERIOD OF TIME.

SO IN THAT TIME, IF THERE'S A TAX INCREMENT THAT COMES IN, AND THE INCREMENT IS ANYTHING ABOVE THAT BASE VALUE, THAT INCREMENT GOES INTO A T FUND THAT CAN BE USED, UM, FOR, UH, PAYING FOR ITEMS WITHIN THE TURFS, OR IF IT'S AFFORDABLE HOUSING, IT CAN BE USED ELSEWHERE.

SO AGAIN, THE BASE YEAR CONTINUES GOING TO THE CITY, BUT THE INCREMENT AFTER THAT BASE YEAR IS WHAT CAN BE USED TO REINVEST BACK IN THE SONAR OR TO PAY FOR INFRASTRUCTURE, UM, IN, IN A CASE LIKE THE ONE WE'RE GONNA TALK ABOUT.

SO THE NEXT SLIDE TALKS A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE KIND OF, UH, PROCESS THAT IS USED FOR DESIGNATION.

I'M GONNA FOCUS ON THE PETITION INITIATED TURS, SINCE THAT'S WHAT IS BEFORE US, NOT THE CITY INITIATED TS.

SO ESSENTIALLY A PETITION INITIATED IS WHEN A DEVELOPER SUBMITS AN APPLICATION, AND IT'S TYPICALLY ONE PROJECT.

IN THIS INSTANCE, IT IS A HOUSING DEVELOPMENT SUBDIVISION.

AND SO THEY SUBMIT WHAT IS PROPOSED, WHAT'S GONNA BE PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE, AND THEIR COST ANALYSIS AS WELL.

AND WHAT THEY ASK FOR IS FOR THAT DESIGNATION TO GET REIMBURSEMENT FOR ELIGIBLE PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE OVER THAT SET TERM, THE LIFE OF THET, IN ESSENCE.

THE NEXT SLIDE GOES OVER OUR LOCAL REVIEW PROCESS.

SO AFTER A DEVELOPER SUBMITS THAT PETITION INITIATED APPLICATION, WE AT THE DEPARTMENT, A NEIGHBORHOOD AND HOUSING SERVICES DO A REVIEW, MAKE SURE IT'S ELIGIBLE, THAT IT MEETS THE, THE CRITERIA WE HAVE OUR FINANCE DEPARTMENT ANALYZE THE FINANCIAL.

UM, IS THIS SOMETHING THAT OVER THE TERM PROPOSED IS GONNA REAP THAT KIND OF, UH, REVENUE? IS THE INCREMENT PROJECTED, UM, REASONABLE? ARE THE THINGS THAT ARE PROJECTED TO BE COVERED INDEED GOING TO BE COVERED? SO WE SPENT A LITTLE BIT OF TIME WITH FINANCE GOING OVER THOSE NUMBERS.

THERE IS A GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE FOR THE TAX INCREMENT, UM, PROPOSAL.

AND THIS IS COMPRISED OF, UH, STAFF, HIGH LEVEL STAFF.

IN BOTH OUR DEPARTMENT.

WE HAVE LORI HOUSTON, THE ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER AS WELL.

AND THEN THE FINANCE DEPARTMENT.

WE ALSO HAVE THE CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER AND THE DIRECTOR OF C C D O.

UM, SO, UH, IN OUR DEPARTMENT, IT'S IAN AND MYSELF WHO SIT ON THAT GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE.

WE'RE THE ONES THAT REVIEW THE FINANCIALS, HAVE A CONVERSATION ABOUT THE PROPOSAL, LOOK AT DEVELOPMENT TRENDS.

IF, IF THE REQUEST MERITS, UM, DESIGNATION, HAS THE AREA BEEN UNDERPERFORMING, FOR EXAMPLE, ARE THE NUMBERS MAKING SENSE? UM, IS THERE GONNA BE ENOUGH REVENUE TO COVER WHAT IS PROPOSED TO BE PAID FOR OVER THE TERM? AND SO THAT COMMITTEE THEN MAKES A RECOMMENDATION, UM, IF, IF IT'S TO MOVE FORWARD, WE SEND IT TO A CITY COUNCIL COMMITTEE.

THAT'S WHERE WE ARE TODAY WITH IT, WITH YOU.

AND SHOULD, UM, THE COUNCIL COMMITTEE AGREE TO MOVE IT FORWARD TO FULL COUNCIL, THEN WE MOVE TO FULL COUNCIL FOR THE DESIGNATION, SETTING THE BOUNDARIES, AND HAVE A PRELIMINARY FINANCE

[00:25:01]

PLAN AND CREATING THE BOARD.

ONLY AFTER THAT DESIGNATION WOULD WE HAVE THE FINAL FINANCING PLAN AND PROJECT PLAN.

AND SO THOSE ARE THE STEPS.

UM, AGAIN, WE ARE HERE BECAUSE THE FINANCE, UH, RATHER THE TIFF GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE HAS RECOMMENDED THAT WE MOVE FORWARD AND THERE WILL BE SOME NEW INFORMATION, UM, THAT I WILL SHARE BECAUSE OF THE CONSTRUCTION COSTS.

SO LET'S GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE THAT HAS THE BACKGROUND ON THE REQUEST IN FRONT OF US.

SO IN APRIL, LEONARD HOMES OF TEXAS LAND AND CONSTRUCTION, THAT'S THE DEVELOPER SUBMITTED THE APPLICATION FOR THIS PETITION INITIATED TTS.

THE MAP IN FRONT OF YOU SHOWS THE AREA IN QUESTION.

IT IS ALONG HIGHWAY 35 AND SOMERSET ROAD.

IT IS WITHIN COUNCIL DISTRICT FOUR, SO YOU CAN SEE THE AREA IN QUESTION.

THE NEXT SLIDE HAS A FEW DETAILS OF WHAT IS PROPOSED.

SO THE PROJECT ITSELF IS A SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISION.

IT COMPRISES ALMOST 130 ACRES.

AND WHAT IS PROPOSED IS TO BUILD 603 SINGLE FAMILY HOUSES WITH TWO CAR GARAGES.

UM, THIS IS THE INFORMATION THAT HAS BEEN UPDATED FROM WHAT IS IN YOUR MEMO, BECAUSE THIS IS INFORMATION THAT IS CHANGING FOR THOSE, UM, IN THE CONSTRUCTION AREA FOR HOUSING.

WE HAVE SEEN HOUSING CRISIS INCREASE, UM, SINCE THE PETITION WAS SUBMITTED BACK IN APRIL, THE, UH, DEVELOPERS ESTIMATED THAT THE CONSTRUCTION COSTS THEMSELVES HAVE JUMPED ABOUT 40%.

AND THAT'S SOMETHING WE HAVE HEARD IN OUR DEPARTMENT FROM, UM, ACROSS THE BOARD, OUR DEVELOPERS AS WELL AS OUR CONTRACTORS.

SO WHAT THEY'RE PROPOSING, AND AGAIN, THIS IS SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT THAN WHAT IS IN THE MEMO, IS THAT THE SALES PRICE FOR THESE HOMES WOULD HAVE 25% OF THE HOMES BETWEEN 175,000 TO 224,000, BUT HALF OF THE HOMES WOULD BE IN THE RANGE OF 2 25 TO 2 65 K.

AND THE REST, THE BALANCE WOULD BE ABOVE 266 K.

SO THE TOTAL DEVELOPMENT COST FOR THIS 603 SINGLE FAMILY SUBDIVISION IS GONNA EXCEED 77 MILLION.

AND WHAT THEY'RE ASKING FOR IS THAT THE TSS BE CREATED SO THAT WE CAN HAVE REIMBURSEMENT OF ABOUT $21.7 MILLION IN PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE.

UM, IN THE MAP IN FRONT OF YOU, YOU CAN SEE THAT THE AREA IS VACANT.

UM, AND THERE ARE SIGNIFICANT INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDS SPECIFICALLY WITH THE BIG UTILITY ITEMS. THE NEXT SLIDE HAS A DETAIL OF WHAT THAT PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE WILL BE.

NO SURPRISE THAT THE BIGGEST, UM, DOLLAR AMOUNTS FOR REIMBURSEMENT ARE THAT UTILITY SYSTEMS. YOU CAN SEE THE SEWER, WATER, DRAINAGE, STREETS AND SIDEWALKS BEING THE LARGER TICKET ITEMS. BUT OF COURSE, THERE'S ADDITIONAL ELIGIBLE EXPENSES SUCH AS THE PLANNING FEES, ENGINEERING, TESTING SURVEY, ADDITIONAL ELECTRICITY, UM, AS WELL.

AND SO ALL OF THESE PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE FEES, INCLUDING GETTING THAT MAJOR UTILITY TO THIS AREA THAT HAS BEEN, UM, VACANT, UH, FOR A LONG TIME, IS WHAT IS BEING REQUESTED AS THE REIMBURSABLE INFRASTRUCTURE.

CAPITAL COST 21.7 MILLION.

UM, AND AGAIN, YOU SEE THE TOTAL DEVELOPMENT COST FOR THIS SUBDIVISION.

SO THE NEXT SLIDE HAS, UM, WHAT WE ARE PROPOSING, UM, FOR THIS COUNCIL COMMITTEE TO CONSIDER.

UH, WE'RE PROPOSING THAT DETERS BE FOR A 25 YEAR TERM WITH THE CITY PARTICIPATING AT AN 85% RATE.

UM, SO PARTICIPATION CAN VARY.

UM, AND FOR THIS ONE, IT MEANS 85% OF THE INCREMENT IS WHAT GOES INTO THE TURS FUND.

THE BALANCE STILL CONTINUES TO GO TO THE GENERAL FUND.

SO AGAIN, UM, THE TIF GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE REVIEWED THIS BACK IN MAY 6TH.

THEY MADE THIS RECOMMENDATION TO HAVE A 25 YEAR TERM WITH THE 85% PARTICIPATION RATE.

WE ARE HERE IN FRONT OF THIS COUNCIL COMMITTEE.

UM, AND SHOULD THIS COUNCIL COMMITTEE AGREE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THOSE REVISED NUMBERS, WE WOULD NEGOTIATE IN MAY AND JUNE, UH, DRAFT AGREEMENT.

UM, AND THEN IN JUNE, IF WE DO GET AGREEMENT ON THE FINAL, UH, DOCUMENT, AND AGAIN, THERE WAS THAT CHANGE IN THE PRICE STRUCTURE FROM WHEN WE REVIEWED IT INITIALLY, UH, WE WOULD POST IT FOR DESIGNATION, UM, AFTER THAT.

AND SO, UM, AGAIN, WE HAVE REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE DEVELOPER HERE.

I THINK THE NEXT SLIDE,

[00:30:01]

UM, IS JUST THE FINAL ONE.

UH, BUT IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS, UH, IAN, MYSELF AND REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE DEVELOPER ARE AVAILABLE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

UH, I DID HAVE A CHANCE TO SPEAK TO THE COUNCIL MEMBER AND SHE'S SUPPORTIVE.

UM, BUT SINCE YOU HAVE THE DEVELOPER HERE, CAN YOU PLEASE, UH, INTRODUCE YOURSELVES AND, UM, JUST GIVE US ANY OTHER INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROJECT? UH, SURE.

MADAM CHAIR, I, I, I THINK I'LL TAKE THE LEAD.

THIS IS DANIEL ORTIZ.

UH, KEVIN DINDA HERE WITH BROWN ORTIZ.

WE REPRESENT THE PROPOSED HOME BUILDERS SLASH DEVELOPER, WHICH IS LENNAR HOMES.

UH, HERE WITH LENNAR IS JOHN LORE, WHO'S VICE PRESIDENT OF ACQUISITION.

UH, HE JUST WAVED ON THE, ON THE SCREEN THERE.

UM, I'LL TAKE THE LEAD AND THEN MAYBE DEFER TO JOHN A. LITTLE BIT ON THE, ON THE DETAILS.

UM, COUNCILWOMAN, THIS IS, UH, WE ACTUALLY WERE INVOLVED IN REZONING THIS PROPERTY TO ALLOW FOR SINGLE FAMILY DEVELOPMENT.

SO HAVE BEEN WORKING ON IT FOR, FOR QUITE SOME TIME, PROBABLY A YEAR OR TWO, UH, EASILY, AND THEREFORE IN CONVERSATIONS WITH THE COUNCILWOMAN ABOUT THE NEED FOR SINGLE FAMILY HOUSING HERE.

UM, BUT SOME OF THE CHALLENGES THAT, UH, THIS PROPERTY FACED IN PARTICULAR, I'M NOT SURE IF IT'S POSSIBLE FOR STAFF TO, TO PUT THE LAND PLAN BACK UP ON THE SCREEN, BUT IT, UM, IN PARTICULAR, UH, WHAT WE LEARNED DURING THE, GOING BACK TO THE ZONING PROCESS ON THE PORTION OF THE PROPERTY THAT'S NORTH OF, UH, UM, UH, 35, UH, NORTH OF 35, IS THAT SORT OF UP TO THE UPPER LEFT HAND AREA? UH, THERE ARE ALREADY EXISTING HOMEOWNERS, UM, SORT OF UP NORTH INTO THE WEST OF US.

SO WHAT KIND OF DIAGONALLY LEFT OF THE PORTION THAT'S NORTH OF 35, THERE ARE EXISTING HOMEOWNERS IN THAT AREA THAT WE LEARNED OF DURING THE ZONING PROCESS THAT ARE DEALING WITH SOME PRETTY SIGNIFICANT DRAINAGE ISSUES IN MAJOR, UH, RAIN EVENTS SPECIFICALLY.

BASICALLY THE INTERSECTION OFF THE SCREEN I 35, UM, AND WHAT, WHAT'S THAT? AND CASTON ROAD, UM, FLOODS.

AND SO THOSE FOLKS HAVE TO ACTUALLY TURN AROUND AND GO ON THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION IN A ONE WAY TRAFFIC ON THE FEEDER ROAD ONTO 35 TO GET INTO DRY LAND.

SO THEY'RE, THEY'RE MAKING ESSENTIALLY A LEFT, UH, FOR THE, FROM THE AREA THAT'S, AGAIN, NORTH OF 35 INTO ONE-WAY TRAFFIC TO GET TO DRY AREA.

UM, AND SO WHAT, WHAT HAS HAPPENED, WE LEARNED THAT DURING THE PROCESS, THE COUNCILWOMAN STAFF IDENTIFIED THAT AS SOMETHING WE WERE GONNA HAVE TO TACKLE.

AND WHAT WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO DO NOW, IF YOU SEE THE LAND PLAN, SO WE'VE ADDED ON PROPERTY THAT WAS ALREADY APPROPRIATELY ZONED.

UM, AND LONG STORY SHORT, UM, YOU CAN KIND OF SEE HIGHLIGHTING ORANGE, UM, WHAT THE DEVELOPMENT OF THIS PROPERTY, UM, WILL ALLOW FOR AS DRY CONNECTION POINT ALL THE WAY BACK OUT TO SOMERSET ROAD.

SO IT KIND OF COMES FROM THAT AREA WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, ALLOWS PEOPLE TO GET, UH, THROUGH THE DEVELOPMENT ONTO SOMERSET.

AND THEN FROM THERE THEY, THEY DUMP OUT INTO THAT MAJOR INTERSECTION AT SOMERSET AND THEY CAN GET ON THE HIGHWAY DRY, OR THEY CAN TURN IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION, UH, AND, AND BE DRY.

SO IT, IT BASICALLY OFFERS A SOLUTION, UM, FOR FOLKS THAT ALREADY LIVE IN THE AREA FOR, TO, UH, IN, FOR A DRAINAGE SOLUTION.

AND ALSO OUR DEVELOPMENT WILL IN NO WAY ADD TO THAT IN ANY WAY, SHAPE OR FORM.

'CAUSE OUR TRAFFIC WILL HAVE DRY, UH, INGRESS EGRESS, UM, COMING OUT PARTICULARLY FOR THAT AREA NORTH OF 35.

AND I HIGHLIGHT THAT BECAUSE THAT'S A MAJOR INFRASTRUCTURE HURDLE THAT, THAT THIS PROPERTY NEEDS TO DEAL WITH, UM, IN ORDER FOR IT TO BECOME A REALITY FOR SINGLE FAMILY HOMES.

AT THE SAME TIME, IN TALKING WITH THE COUNCILWOMAN, SHE HAD SOME SPECIFIC DESIGN REQUESTS, WHICH, UH, WE'RE GONNA INCORPORATE INTO THE DEVELOPMENT.

UM, ONE IS, UH, OFF STREET PARKING THAT, THAT ALL HOMES A HUNDRED PERCENT HOMES HAVE AT LEAST, UM, TWO OFF STREET PARKING SLOTS, SO EITHER A DRIVEWAY OR A TWO CAR GARAGE.

UH, AND THEN A HUNDRED PERCENT OF THE HOMES HAVE A MASON MASONRY ELEMENT ON THE FRONT FACADE.

UH, AND THEN FINALLY, AS, AS, UH, UH, VERONICA ALREADY HIGHLIGHTED PRETTY WELL, I THINK WE'VE ALL BEEN FOCUSED ON TRYING TO DEVELOP AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN IN PARTICULAR SUBMARKETS.

SO I THINK THIS PROPERTY THAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT NOW, UH, MADAM CHAIR AND, AND, AND SUBCOMMITTEE MEMBERS, UH, FIT ALL THOSE BUCKETS.

I MEAN, IT MEETS THE INFRASTRUCTURE CHALLENGES WITH THE TOURS.

UM, IT INCORPORATES DESIGN DESIGN ELEMENTS.

SO YOU'RE GONNA SEE HOMES THAT WOULDN'T OTHERWISE BE BUILT, UH, PARTICULARLY IN THIS SUBMARKET AND AT PRICE POINTS THAT WE'RE STILL VERY COMFORTABLE ARE, UH, UH, AROUND

[00:35:01]

THE AFFORDABLE PRICE RANGE OF TWO 40 AND BELOW.

NOT ALL OF THEM, BUT A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF THEM, AT LEAST 50%.

IDEALLY, WE'RE SHOOTING FOR UP TO 75% WILL BE IN THAT PRICE RANGE.

SO, UH, WITH THAT, JOHN, I DON'T, I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S ANYTHING YOU WANNA HIGHLIGHT IN PARTICULAR.

I, I APPRECIATE THAT, DANIEL.

I JUST WANTED TO POINT OUT THAT WE'RE VERY EXCITED ABOUT CONTINUE OUR PRESENCE IN THIS AREA OF SAN ANTONIO.

WE'VE HAD, UH, A, A LONG, UH, HISTORY HERE OF, OF BUILDING HOMES.

AND, UH, AS WE FACE THE CHALLENGES ON, ON SITES LIKE THIS WITH THE UTILITIES AND THE DRAINAGE, UH, IT REALLY IS A, A, A CRITICAL FACTOR TO HAVE THAT PARTNERSHIP WITH THE CITY TO HELP, UH, US DELIVER AFFORDABLE HOMES.

AND, AND AT THE SAME TIME, WE'RE REALLY FOCUSED ON DELIVERING A VALUE WELL-BUILT HOME THAT, UH, WE, WE CAN BE PROUD FOR THE, UH, LOCAL RESIDENTS IN THE AREA THAT ARE LOOKING FOR NEW HOUSING AS, AS FAMILIES GROW AND THEY WANNA STAY IN THEIR COMMUNITY.

WE'VE REALLY FOUND THAT TO BE A VERY ATTRACTIVE FEATURE FOR OUR OTHER COMMUNITIES AROUND SAN ANTONIO.

SO, UH, BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS SPECIFICALLY ABOUT OUR, OUR HOMES OR, UH, WITH REGARDS TO OUR PLANS HERE, BUT WE'RE JUST, UH, YOU KNOW, EXCITED TO HAVE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO DELIVER A GOOD VALUE, UH, WELL-BUILT HOME INTO THE COMMUNITY.

UH, SO THANKS.

I JUST, LET ME JUST ASK, UH, TWO FOLLOW-UP QUESTIONS.

UM, WHAT ABOUT THE SCHOOL DISTRICT? WHAT, WHAT SCHOOL DISTRICT IS THIS IN? SO THE, UH, SOMERSET GROVE, UM, IS IN, IT LOOKS LIKE COUNCILMAN VIE KNOWS I'M NOT.

I'M, I'M NOT.

YEAH, IT GROVES IN SOUTH, UH, SOUTH, UH, SAN ANTONIO, I S D.

YEAH.

SO IN SOUTH SAN OR EAST CENTRAL? NO, SOUTH SAN.

SOUTH SAN, OKAY.

THAT'S CORRECT.

UM, AND, UH, AND, UM, AND THEY STILL WILL GET 100% OF THEIR TAX, THEIR TAXES, IS THAT RIGHT? SO THE ABATEMENT IS ONLY FOR CITY TAXES.

UH, AND, UH, AND THEN THE LAST, UH, QUESTION I HAD, UM, WHAT, SO THE DRAINAGE COMPONENT THAT YOU MENTIONED, UM, THAT'S CURRENTLY IMPACTING THE EXISTING RESIDENTS THAT WILL BE ADDRESSED IN THIS TURS, IS THAT WHAT I UNDERSTOOD BY OR BY THIS DEVELOPMENT? OR NOT IMPACTED, BUT RESOLVED? SO WE'RE GONNA BE, UH, AND JOHN, I'LL, I'LL DEFINITELY TURN TO YOU IF YOU WANT TO ELABORATE ON THIS, BUT, UM, THIS DEVELOPMENT IS GOING TO HANDLE ITS OWN DRAINAGE, BUT THE PRACTICAL SITUATION WAS THAT, UH, EVEN THOUGH THAT WAS THE CASE, AND WE WEREN'T GOING TO MAKE THE EXISTING SITUATION DOWN THE ROAD OFFSITE ANY WORSE, THE SITUATION STILL REMAINED THAT PEOPLE EXITING RIGHT OUT OF THE PROPERTY NORTH OF, OF, UH, 35, STILL HAD TO DRIVE TOWARD THAT FLOODED AREA IN A RAIN EVENT.

SO THAT THE, THE FIX THAT'S BEING DELIVERED HERE IS A DRY INGRESS EGRESS POINT THAT'S ALWAYS DRY NO MATTER IF THERE'S A FLOOD OR VENT OR, OR NOT.

SO THAT WILL BE BEING DELIVERED AS PART OF THIS DEVELOPMENT.

SO WE'RE NOT, OKAY, BUT WE'RE NOT ACTUALLY ADDRESSING THE EXISTING DRAINAGE PROBLEM.

NOT EXACTLY.

THAT ONE IS A MUCH, UH, LARGER, UH, ISSUE TO, TO GRAPPLE WITH.

AND WHAT WE, WE'VE LOOKED AT IT ALONG WITH CITY'S ENGINEERS.

UM, THERE'S ANOTHER PARTY AT THE TABLE WHEN IT COMES TO FIXING THAT, AND THAT'S TXDOT, UM, BECAUSE IT'S TECHNICALLY THEIR, THEIR ROAD.

SO WE'D HAVE, WE'VE TALKED ABOUT REALIGNING THE, THE ACCESS ROADS.

UM, I, I THINK THE COUNCILWOMAN AND CITY STAFF ARE LOOKING AT THAT FOR, UH, BIGGER SOLUTIONS.

UM, BUT THAT IS A MUCH, IT'S A, IT'S A REGIONAL ISSUE.

UH, BUT WHAT WE WERE ABLE TO DO IS NOT CONTRIBUTE, BUT ALSO PROVIDE FOLKS A WAY TO GET IN AND OUT THAT THEY DON'T HAVE TODAY.

ALRIGHT.

WELL THANK YOU FOR CLARIFYING THAT.

AND, UM, I'LL TURN IT OVER TO MY COLLEAGUES FOR ANY QUESTIONS.

DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ON THIS PROJECT? DIVAN? GO AHEAD, COUNCILWOMAN.

UM, I HAVE A QUESTION.

SO THE S ARE WE JUST LOOKING AT THE OUTLINE IN RED? SO THAT'S JUST, JUST THOSE TWO PARCELS, NOT WITH ANY EXPANSION OF THIS AREA? THAT'S CORRECT.

COUNCIL, THE PROJECT SECTION? YES.

AND I, I'M LOOKING AT A MAP PART OF THE PRESENTATION THAT YOU ALL HAVE GIVEN US.

ARE THOSE MULTIFAMILY UNITS, UH, ADJACENT OR NEXT TO IT ARE THOSE MULTIFAMILY SITES, YOU KNOW, IS THAT SLIDE FIVE YOU'RE LOOKING AT? I'M LOOKING AT MY AGENDA PACKET.

I, I'M NOT SURE, UM, WHAT PAGE, THIS IS ON MY AGENDA PACKET.

RED ARROW ARE THOSE MULTIFAMILY SITES, CORRECT? THAT'S CORRECT.

UH, WELL BELOW THE

[00:40:01]

ARE YOU HAVING, ARE YOU HAVING INGRESS AND EGRESS ACCESS FROM 35? YES, ON SOUTH SIDE OF 35.

UM, AND ARE THESE, IS THIS COMMUNITY ALSO, UM, IS THIS A GATED COMMUNITY OR IS, ARE ALL OF THESE STREETS ACCESSED TO THE PUBLIC? IT IS NOT GATED.

AND, UM, AVEDO, OR IS THIS IS GOING TO ALSO INCLUDE OUR NEW HOUSING INCENTIVE, NOT SOURCE OF INCOME DISCRIMINATION POLICY.

THIS PARTICULAR SUBDIVISION IS A SINGLE FAMILY, UH, FOR SALE SUBDIVISION.

SO IT'S NOT RENTAL.

AND THE HOUSING VOUCHER INCENTIVE POLICY IS FOR RENTAL INCENTIVE.

SO THERE'S NO MULTI-FAMILY RENTAL.

THOSE ARE MY QUESTIONS.

SORRY.

ANYBODY ELSE? UM, NO.

COUNCIL MEMBER COURAGE.

THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR.

UH, I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHAT'S THE EXPECTATION OF TIMELINE FOR DEVELOPMENT? UH, FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN DO YOU ANTICIPATE BEING IN A POSITION TO START TO BREAK GROUND FOR DEVELOPMENT? ARE YOU, UH, LOOKING AT PHASES AND HOW LONG DO YOU THINK YOU'RE ANTICIPATING TO BUILD OUT THE ENTIRE DEVELOPMENT? OKAY.

WELL, WE HAVE ALREADY BEGUN CONSTRUCTION ON UNIT ONE OR THE FIRST PHASE OF THE COMMUNITY, AND THAT'S ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF 35.

AND SO THAT, UH, DEVELOPMENT TIMELINE USUALLY TAKES US, UH, 10 MONTHS TO A YEAR OR TO DO THE, UH, HORIZONTAL DEVELOPMENT AND THEN WE'LL START THE HOME CONSTRUCTION AFTER THAT.

WE ANTICIPATE THAT WE'LL BE, UM, SELLING THE HOMES AT, AT A RATE OF PROBABLY FIVE, UH, PER MONTH, FIVE TO SIX PER MONTH, OR ABOUT 50 TO 60 PER YEAR.

UH, SO IT, IT, YOU CAN, UH, UH, I, I HAVEN'T, I DON'T HAVE IN FRONT OF ME THE TIMELINE FOR THE COMPLETION OF THE COMMUNITY, BUT I THINK WE HAVE 603 HOMES HERE TOTAL.

UM, SO THAT GETS US SOME SOMETIME LIKE THAT.

I WOULDN'T BE SURPRISED IN TODAY'S MARKET THE WAY THINGS ARE GOING AS WE CONTINUE TO HAVE A, A NEED FOR, UH, AFFORDABLE HOMES THAT WE MIGHT MOVE A LITTLE QUICKER THAN THAT.

AND INFRASTRUCTURE? THERE'S A LOT OF PROFIT BUILT IN THERE, AND IF, IF THERE'S ROOM FOR INFLATION, THEN YOU KNOW, THE PROFIT SHOULDN'T SUFFER VERY MUCH.

UM, YEAH, I, I LOOKED AT THE PRICING.

YOU HAVE, I THINK IT WAS SLIDE SIX PER UNIT, AND WE'VE ALL BEEN HEARING THAT THE COST OF BUILDING MATERIALS IS SKYROCKETING.

SO HOW COMFORTABLE ARE YOU WITH THE PRICE POINTS THAT YOU'VE PUT IN ON ON PAGE SIX? UH, IF YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT TAKING YEARS TO GET THESE PRODUCTS PRODUCED, WE'RE, WE'RE VERY COME WITH THE PRICING.

UH, DANIEL, I THINK THERE'S A, A, A, UH, SOME POINTS THERE THAT YOU MIGHT WANNA ADDRESS.

SURE.

WE'VE, UH, GREAT QUESTION, COUNCILMAN.

I THINK THAT'S, YOU KNOW, THAT'S PART OF WHAT MAKES THIS A CHALLENGE THAT THAT STAFF IS, IS PUSHING FOR, UH, AT THE DIRECTION OF COUNCIL FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING.

AND WE'RE, AND WE'RE WILLING TO WORK ON THAT.

SO IT'LL BE PART OF THE AGREEMENT.

UM, WE'VE ADJUSTED THEM, AS YOU HEARD AT THE BEGINNING OF, OF THE PRESENTATION, TO MOVE THEM SLIGHTLY UP WHILE STILL TRYING TO REMAIN CENTERED AROUND THAT TWO 40 NUMBER.

THE AGREEMENT DOES ALLOW FOR ADJUSTMENTS FOR INFLATION, WHICH I'M SURE STAFF WILL MONITOR VERY CLOSELY.

SO I THINK BETWEEN HAVING A SLIGHTLY HIGHER STARTING POINT AND BEING ABLE TO ADJUST FOR INFLATION WITH STAFF MONITORS, WE'RE, WE'RE COMFORTABLE WITH, WITH WHERE WE'RE AT RIGHT NOW AND MOVING FORWARD.

YEAH, I, I WAS LOOKING AT, UM, THE TOTAL NUMBER, WHICH WAS 77,000, AND THEN YOU'RE ASKING THE CITY TO ALLOW YOU TO FOREGO 21 MILLION OR, OR TO BE REIMBURSED THROUGH THE TUR TURS AND EVERYTHING.

SO THAT BREAKS IT DOWN TO LIKE 56 MILLION.

AND I WAS JUST DOING A LITTLE ON THE NAPKIN CALCULATIONS, AND IF YOU'RE BUILDING 600 PLUS UNITS, UH, FOR, YOU KNOW, $56 MILLION, YOU'RE BUILDING 'EM FOR $91,000 IN COST, BUT YOUR, BUT YOUR RATES ARE 2 25 OR 1 75 TO 2 25, 2 25 TO TWO 50 OR THEREABOUTS.

THAT'S A LOT OF PROFIT IF YOU'RE ONLY GONNA SPEND 91,000 TO BUILD ONE.

UH, AND, AND IT JUST MAKES ME WONDER, WHY CAN'T YOU BUILD IN THE COST YOURSELVES FOR DEVELOPING ALL THE STREETS

[00:45:01]

YOU JUST RAISE THE COST OF CONSTRUCTION.

WELL, I'LL LET, I'LL LET JOHN KIND OF, UH, MAYBE TACKLE THE, THE LARGER QUESTION.

UM, BUT I, I WOULD, MY INITIAL RESPONSE, OR I THINK PART OF THE INITIAL RESPONSE, COUNCILMAN, IS THE NUMBERS THAT, THAT YOU USED OR SLIGHTLY, UH, NEED, NEED TO BE UPDATED, I SUPPOSE IS THE BEST WORD.

UM, THE REQUEST WAS FOR, UH, ALL 22, ROUGHLY 22, 20 $3 MILLION IN PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS TO BE REIMBURSED.

AND WE DID NOT GET, THAT STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION IS 85% OVER 10 YEARS THAT THAT PROJECTS OUT TO ABOUT ROUGHLY $10 MILLION, WHICH, UH, WHICH IS ROUGHLY HALF.

SO WE'D HAVE TO INCREASE TO OUR SIDE OF THE, THE AISLE, UH, $10 MILLION INTO YOUR, TO YOUR MATH, UH, FIRST OF ALL.

BUT EVEN WITH THAT, I, I DON'T KNOW THAT IT'S, UM, TWO PLUS TWO EQUALS FOUR EQUALS THE PROFIT, JOHN.

SO I DON'T, IF YOU WANNA WALK THROUGH A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE PRICE INCREASES ON MATERIALS AND WHAT IT ACTUALLY TAKES TO DELIVER A HOME.

RIGHT.

SO, UM, UH, WE, WE HAVE SEEN SUBSTANTIAL INCREASES ON PRICING, UM, RECENTLY.

I, I, I EXPECT THAT THERE'LL BE SOME ADJUSTMENT ON LUMBER COST AS TIME GOES ON.

THAT'S THE BIG ONE THAT'S HIT US ALL SO HARD.

IT'S BEEN, IF YOU HAVEN'T HEARD THE STORIES, YOU CAN LOOK IT UP ANYWHERE.

IT'S JUST BEEN, UH, UH, SUBSTANTIAL AND, AND, AND, AND MAJOR IMPACT.

BUT WE BELIEVE THAT THAT WILL FLATTEN OUT OVER TIME.

UM, THAT SAID, OUR, UH, OUR DIRECT COST, UH, FOR CONSTRUCTION, EVEN WITH THE, UH, CONSIDERING THE, THE, UM, REIMBURSEMENT STILL DON'T TAKE US DOWN TO, TO BEING A A $91,000, UH, COST.

THERE WE'RE, WE'RE QUITE A BIT ABOVE THAT.

UM, WE, I'D, I'D HAVE TO HAVE THE, UH, THE FULL, UM, ACCOUNTING IN FRONT OF ME TO KIND OF WALK THROUGH THAT, BUT, BUT WE'RE NOT GONNA BE AT A $91,000 COST EVEN AFTER THE REIMBURSEMENTS.

WE'RE GONNA BE, YOU KNOW, QUITE A BIT, UH, HIGHER.

AND SO THIS WILL HELP US COVER THE ADDITIONAL COSTS FOR THIS LOCATION, FOR THE UTILITIES, FOR THE, UM, UH, THE ACCESS, UH, ROAD THAT WE'RE, WE'RE EXTENDING OUT TO I 35 TO, UM, UH, YOU KNOW, SOME OF THE OTHER, UH, IMPROVEMENTS THAT WE HAVE TO MAKE OUT THERE ON THE DEVELOPMENT AS YOU'VE SEEN, UH, FROM THE NUMBERS THERE.

SO IT, IT REALLY IS HELPFUL.

IT'S NOT GOING TO TAKE US TO THE PLACE WHERE WE'RE ALL OF A SUDDEN WE HAVE, UH, YOU KNOW, UH, OUTRAGEOUS, UH, KIND OF RESULTS TO US.

IT'S, IT'S GONNA KEEP US IN A VERY, UM, TYPICAL OR COMPETITIVE POSITION IN THE MARKETPLACE TO BE ABLE TO DELIVER TO HOMES OF THESE PRICES.

WITHOUT THIS CAP ON THE MARKETPLACE AT THIS LOCATION, WE WOULD BE SUBSTANTIALLY HIGHER ON OUR HOME PRICES.

SO THIS IS HELPING US .

WELL, I APPRECIATE IT.

I, I HOPE I MIGHT HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN A LITTLE BIT MORE FROM YOU AND DANIEL SOMETIME.

UH, I, I RECOGNIZE WE NEED AFFORDABLE HOUSING, AND SO, YOU KNOW, I, I'LL BE SUPPORTIVE OF THIS.

I WANNA SUPPORT, UH, MY FELLOW COUNCIL MEMBER IN HER COMMUNITY.

AND I THINK THAT, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE GONNA BUILD A GOOD PRODUCT, AND I KNOW IT'S NEEDED IN THE COMMUNITY, BUT I JUST WANTED TO KIND OF UNDERSTAND A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT, UM, YOU KNOW, THAT PROCESS.

AND, UH, WHAT I JUST, LIKE I SAID, ON THE NAPKIN CALCULATION SHOWS PRETTY SUBSTANTIAL POTENTIAL PROFIT AND, UH, I DON'T WANT TO DENY ANYBODY THE PROFIT FOR WHAT THEY DO, BUT JUST WANTED TO LEARN MORE.

AND COUNCILMAN, I'D LIKE TO ELABORATE REALLY QUICKLY ON WHAT DANIEL, UH, WAS SAYING FROM BRANDON ORTIZ.

UM, YEAH.

SO WHAT, WHAT'S ON THE SLIDE IS WHAT THE DEVELOPER HAD RECOMMENDED.

UH, PART OF OUR ANALYSIS WHEN WE GO TO OUR GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE IS LOOKING AT WHAT THE PROJECT WILL ACTUALLY GENERATE IN TAX REIMBURSEMENT, UH, AND THEN MAKING OUR RECOMMENDATION BASED OFF OF THAT.

SO WHILE THEY WERE ASKING FOR, FOR THAT MUCH, UH, WE PROJECT THROUGH OUR FISCAL ANALYSIS THAT OVER THE, THE TIME OF THE TOURS, THEY'LL, UM, THEY'LL RECAPTURE APPROXIMATELY 10, UH, AROUND $10 MILLION.

SO THAT, THAT'S PROBABLY MUCH MORE LIKE OF WHAT THEY'LL GET.

UM, YOU KNOW, IT DOES FLUCTUATE.

THIS IS ALL, UH, ESTIMATIONS BASED ON, ON FUTURE GROWTH.

SO, YOU KNOW, IT COULD FALL SOMEWHERE AROUND THERE, BUT THAT'S LIKELY WHAT THEY'LL BE RECEIVING.

THANKS ANN.

THANK YOU CHAIR.

THANK, THANK YOU.

COUNCIL MEMBER, KURT.

COUNCILMAN VI.

COUNCIL.

BUT THE, A PORTION AT THE, ON THE SOUTHERN SIDE OF 35, UH, WAS ZONED TO R FIVE, TO COMPLEMENT SOME R FIVE AND THE MULTIFAMILY, UM, THAT YOU, YOU POINTED OUT EARLIER THERE.

UH, HOW LARGE ARE THESE LOTS GOING TO BE? WHAT IS THE ZONING? NOW? I'M, I'M SORRY, I DIDN'T HEAR THAT CLEARLY.

HOW LARGE IS WHAT, HOW LARGE ARE THE LOTS? OH, THE LOTS ARE, ARE, UH, UH, TWO DIFFERENT SIZES.

SO THEY'RE, UH, A 35 FOOT WIDE LOT BY 110 TO 20 FOOT DEEP, AND THEN A 40 FOOT WIDE LOT THAT GOES 10 TO 20 FOOT DEEP.

SO, UH, IN ZONING TERMS, UH, COUNCILWOMAN, THE, THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE PROPERTY IS R FOUR, WHICH IS CONSISTENT WITH WHAT THE ZONING WAS AROUND IT,

[00:50:01]

SO THO THOSE GOT A COMBINATION OF R FOUR AND R FIVE, WHICH IS CONSISTENT WITH WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THAT AREA.

AND JUST OUTTA CURIOSITY, WHERE IS THE CITY LIMITS IN THAT AREA? HOW FAR SOUTH DOES IT GO? UH, 35 CITY LIMITS.

IS THAT, YEAH, WE CAN GET YOU A MAP SHOWING THAT.

UM, WE DON'T HAVE IT IN FRONT OF US, BUT WE'LL GET YOU A MAP, UM, TO SHARE WITH YOU AND EVERYONE WHO'S SHOWING THE CITY LIMITS.

UH, OKAY.

UM, THERE'S NO OTHER QUESTIONS.

WE ARE, ARE WE LOOKING FOR A MOTION? YES, MA'AM.

SO AND SO WE WOULD MOVE THIS TO THE FULL COUNCIL, OR WHERE WOULD WE TAKE THIS? BACK TO THE TOURS? BACK TO THE FULL COUNCIL, MA'AM.

OH, OKAY.

RIGHT.

'CAUSE WE'RE STARTING THE TOURS.

SO, UM, THE COUNCILWOMAN IS IN SUPPORT.

SO CAN I GET A MOTION TO TAKE THIS TO THE COUNCIL, UH, MOTION TO TAKE TO FULL COUNCIL FOR CONSIDERATION? SECOND.

PROBABLY IT'S TARGETING JUNE 10TH.

WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND TO MOVE THIS ITEM TO THE FULL COUNCIL.

UM, DO WE HAVE A DATE CERTAIN? NO.

WE'LL, WE'LL WORK ON THE AGREEMENT FIRST AND THEN WE'LL GO.

ON TO ITEM NUMBER FIVE, BRIEFING ON THE VALLEY SOLE PROPOSED PETITION INITIATED.

THAT'S OKAY.

GREAT.

WELL, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.

UH, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

[5. 21-3897 Briefing of the Valley Sol proposed petition initiated TIRZ located West of IH-35 and Fischer Road in southwest San Antonio in Council District 4. [Lori Houston, Assistant City Manager; Verónica R. Soto, FAICP, Director, Neighborhood and Housing Services]]

COUNCILMAN.

OKAY, GO AHEAD, BERO.

TERM, AGAIN, WITH CITY PARTICIPATION AT 85%.

YES, THANK YOU.

UM, THIS IS A SIMILAR ITEM, SO I WILL SKIP THROUGH THE FIRST FOUR SLIDES, UM, SINCE ALREADY TALKED ABOUT THE PROCESS TO DESIGNATE A TURS.

UM, THIS ITEM ALSO WAS REVIEWED BY THE TIF GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE, AND THE REQUEST FOR THIS ONE, AGAIN, SAME DEVELOPER, LENNAR HOLMES OF TEXAS LAND CONSTRUCTION FOR ANOTHER PETITION INITIATED TS THIS ONE LOCATED WEST OF, UH, HIGHWAY 35 FISHER ROAD, SOUTHWEST, UM, OF THE CITY IN COUNCIL DISTRICT FOUR.

AND HERE YOU CAN SEE IN RED THE OUTLINE OF THE MAP, LIKE THE PREVIOUS ONE.

THIS IS ALSO A SINGLE FAMILY SUBDIVISION.

AND THE NEXT SLIDE HAS THE TOTAL ACREAGE, UM, THAT'S PART OF THIS.

SO THIS ONE IS 122 ACRES PROPOSED TO, UH, BE 657 SINGLE FAMILY HOUSES.

AGAIN, IT'S A SINGLE FAMILY SUBDIVISION, AND AGAIN, TWO CAR GARAGES LIKE THE OTHER ONE.

THE PRICES ALSO SHIFTED A BIT FROM WHAT WAS IN THE MEMO THAT IS PART OF YOUR PACKET.

SO WHAT WE HAVE FOR THE POTENTIAL, UH, SALE PRICES NOW IS THAT 25% OF THE HOMES, AGAIN, WOULD BE IN THAT 1 75 TO 2 24, UH, THOUSAND RANGE.

HALF OF THE HOMES WOULD BE BETWEEN 2 25 TO 2 65 OR SO.

AND THE BALANCE, UH, OF THE HOMES WOULD BE ABOVE THE 266 FOR THIS, UH, SUBDIVISION VALLEY SOLD.

THE TOTAL DEVELOPMENT COST IS APPROXIMATELY $94 MILLION, AND THE PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE REIMBURSEMENT REQUEST IS FOR UP TO 22.7 MILLION.

THE NEXT SLIDE HAS THE DETAILS OF WHAT THE PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE IS GOING TO BE.

UH, AGAIN, VERY SIMILAR TO THE PREVIOUS ITEM.

AGAIN, THE BIGGER TICKER I TICKET ITEMS ARE THE UTILITY COSTS.

SO YOU CAN SEE THE SEWER, WATER AND DRAINAGE STREETS AND SIDEWALKS BEING THE, THE LARGER ITEMS HERE.

BUT YOU ALSO HAVE, UH, THE ENGINEERING PLANNING FEES GRADING, UM, AS PART OF, OF WHAT'S ELIGIBLE FOR REIMBURSEMENT, THE TOTAL INFRASTRUCTURE, CAPITAL COST, AGAIN, 22.76.

AND IN THE NEXT SLIDE YOU HAVE THE RECOMMENDATION, UH, FROM THE TIF GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE.

SO AGAIN, FOR THIS PARTICULAR, UM, PETITION INITIATED TERMS, WE ARE PROPOSING A 25 YEAR

[00:55:01]

UM, AGAIN, THE TIF GOVERNANCE REVIEWED THIS BACK IN EARLY MAY.

HERE WE ARE AT THE PLANNING LAND DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE, AND AGAIN, UM, MAY, JUNE IS WHEN WE WOULD NEGOTIATE AND DRAFT AN AGREEMENT, UH, LIKE THE OTHER ONE WE'RE PROJECT PROJECTING A JUNE 10TH COUNCIL MEETING.

UM, AND SO THAT'S WHAT THE ITEM IN FRONT OF YOU IS.

AND THE DEVELOPERS REPRESENTATIVES ARE ALSO HERE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE ABOUT THIS ONE.

AND THAT IS THE LAST SLIDE.

UM, SO WE CAN ANSWER ANY QUESTION.

AND THEN REALLY QUICKLY, I'LL ALSO ADD JUST ON THIS ONE, SIMILAR TO THE LAST ONE, UM, THE ANALYSIS FROM OUR FISCAL DIVISION SHOWED THAT OVER THE LIFE OF THE T THE, UH, THE REIMBURSEMENT WOULD BE APPROXIMATELY $10 MILLION SIMILAR TO THE LAST ONE.

SO THOSE WAS THEIR ASK IN THE, IN THEIR, UH, APPLICATION WITH THE FEDERAL PRESENTED, BUT WE ESTIMATE THE REIMBURSEMENT TO BE APPROXIMATELY $10 MILLION.

UH, OKAY, THANK YOU.

UM, AND I, YOU KNOW, I HAVE SOME SIMILAR QUESTIONS, UM, REGARDING THE SCHOOL DISTRICT.

IS THIS ALSO SOUTH SAN? IT IS NOT.

UH, MADAM CHAIR, THIS IS ACTUALLY SOUTHWEST I S D.

SO BOTH PRO IN RELATION TO THE LAST PROPERTY, THEY'RE BOTH OFF 35, BUT THE, THE PREVIOUS PROPERTY WAS INSIDE LOOP FOUR 10, AND THIS ONE'S OUTSIDE LOOP FOUR 10.

SO THEY'RE SORT OF, NOT SORT OF, THEY ARE DIFFERENT SUBMARKETS, BUT THIS IS, UH, SOUTHWEST IST.

AND SOUTHWEST.

SO I'LL ASK THAT WHEN YOU COME TO THE FULL COUNCIL THAT YOU BRING A LARGER AREA MAP, I DON'T THINK, YOU DON'T HAVE A LARGER AREA MAP, DO YOU, ROBERT? OKAY, SO WE DON'T HAVE A, UM, A LARGER AREA MAP, SO WE CAN JUST GET A, A BETTER PICTURE.

UM, WHAT I'M SEEING, OF COURSE, AND, AND WHAT WE KNOW ON THE SOUTH SIDE IS THAT WE HAVE A LOT OF, UH, VACANT LAND, A LOT OF OPEN PROPERTY.

I MEAN, I, I LOOK AT 122 ACRES, 130 SOMETHING ACRES THAT, UM, I SAW.

AND YOU KNOW, OF COURSE IN, IN DISTRICT FIVE, THERE WERE ONLY TWO PARCELS THAT WERE 30 ACRES, AND THAT WAS LONE STAR.

AND THEN WE HAVE A PROPERTY ON THAT'S ABOUT 30 ACRES.

SO THESE ARE HUGE PARCELS, UM, OBVIOUSLY, UM RIGHT, FOR THIS KIND OF DEVELOPMENT.

UM, AND SO, UH, I, UM, I, THE OTHER QUESTION, UM, THAT I HAD REGARDING, UM, CAN, CAN YOU BRING IT BACK TO THE 35, UM, THE, UH, MAP THAT, RIGHT.

OF JOBS THAT ARE JUST, UH, CONTINUING TO GROW IN THIS, IN THIS VICINITY.

SO, UH, RIGHT HERE.

SO AGAIN, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE A LOT OF VACANT PARCELS AROUND HERE, UM, WHICH IS WHY I'M SORT OF INTERESTED IN AN AREA MAP.

WHAT, WHAT ELSE, ANYTHING ELSE, UH, AROUND THAT WE CAN, UM, KIND OF, I, I, I'M JUST VERY CURIOUS ABOUT OTHER AMENITIES.

HOPEFULLY THOSE WILL ALL COME ONCE WE GET THE ROOFTOPS, BUT, UM, WHAT ELSE IS AROUND HERE? UM, WELL, I'LL TAKE A, A FIRST STAB COUNCILMAN.

UM, IF YOU LOOK AT THE RED BOUNDARY THAT'S ON THE SCREEN NOW, THIS, THIS PROPERTY ACTUALLY STARTED AS A ZONING CASE AS WELL.

UM, IT HAD BEEN MASTER PLAN FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT, WHICH DIDN'T PAN OUT.

UM, AND THERE WAS A, A NEED, UM, FROM THE MARKET, UM, FOR SINGLE FAMILY HOUSING.

SO THIS OPPORTUNITY PRESENTED ITSELF TO DEVELOP ALL OF IT FOR SINGLE FAMILY HOUSING WITH ONE BUILDER, MASTERPLAN, DEVELOP IT IN COORDINATED PHASES.

BUT THE HARD CORNER AT I 35 AND FISHER WAS PART OF THAT.

IT'S THE SAME SELLER, SAME PROPERTY OWNER, AND IT WAS PART OF THE SAME ZONING CASE.

AND WE, WE REZONED THAT TO C THREE, UH, AND MF 33.

UM, BUT, UM, TO COMPLIMENT AND PROVIDE SORT OF A BUFFER COMING BACK FROM THAT MAJOR INTERSECTION, UM, TO THE SINGLE FAMILY, UH, DEVELOPMENT THAT, AS YOU CAN SEE, IS NOT IN THE DEVELOPMENT.

SO THE IDEA IS THAT AS THE ROOFTOP COMES, YOU MIGHT HAVE SOME MULTIFAMILY, YOU MIGHT ALSO HAVE SOME COMMERCIAL TYPE SERVICES THAT THESE FOLKS ARE USING, AND 100% OF THOSE TAXES WOULD GO TOWARD THE CITY.

UM, SO THEY WERE SPECIFICALLY CARVED OUT.

SO AT LEAST WITH RESPECT TO THE PROPERTY THAT WE SORT OF CONTROL WITH OUR SELLER, THERE WAS SOME, SOME THOUGHT IN TALKING WITH STAFF AS TO WHAT TO INCLUDE, WHAT NOT TO INCLUDE IN TERMS OF THE LARGER AREA.

I'LL DEFER TO, TO, I CAN JUMP IN A LITTLE BIT THERE AND MENTION THAT, UH, THE AREA CONTINUE TO BE A HUB FOR JOB GROWTH, AND THAT'S REALLY ONE OF THE REASONS WHY THERE'S, UH, A NEED FOR MORE HOUSING.

WE'RE, WE'RE VERY CLOSE TO, UM, AN AMAZON FULFILLMENT CENTER THAT HAS BEEN ANNOUNCED, UH, JUST THERE, UH, 35 AND FOUR 10.

OF COURSE, WE'RE NOT VERY FAR AT ALL FROM, I'M SORRY.

UH, CAN YOU REPEAT THAT? WHAT KIND OF CENTER? UH, AMAZON.

OH, OKAY.

OKAY, GO AHEAD.

AND WE'RE, WE'RE CLOSE ALSO TO THE, UH, UH, NOT VERY FAR AT ALL FROM TOYOTA AND NAVISTAR, UH, THE TJ MAXX, UH, UH, UH, PROPERTIES, ALL THOSE TYPE

[01:00:01]

AND WE'VE, WE FOUND IN OUR EXISTING COMMUNITIES, UH, JUST, UH, TREMENDOUS DEMAND, UH, FOR THOSE TYPE OF, UH, EMPLOYEES AS WELL AS, YOU KNOW, JUST YOU, YOU FIND ALL KINDS OF FOLKS THAT ARE WORKING THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY, UM, THAT, THAT MIGHT BE AN H E B OR, OR, YOU KNOW, OTHER, UH, AREAS THAT, THAT ARE LOOKING FOR QUALITY, AFFORDABLE HOUSING.

WELL, I LOOK FORWARD TO THE, AGAIN, BRINGING MORE SINGLE FAMILY AND NEW PRODUCT TO, UH, OTHER PARTS OF TOWN.

I KNOW, UM, THAT'S ALWAYS BEEN A REQUEST, UH, TO HAVE AT LEAST FROM THE CONSTITUENTS, TO HAVE MORE OPTIONS FOR NEW PRODUCTS, UH, ON THE SOUTH SIDE.

SO THIS IS WAY FAR SOUTH FROM ME, BUT, UM, WE STILL WANT A LOT OF, UH, THIS TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT HERE.

SO, UM, I, I DON'T, I SEE A COUNCILMAN VIA GRANT, THANK YOU CHAIR HERE.

I THINK THE THINGS THAT ARE CLOSEST IN THE AREA ARE NORTH PARK, TOYOTA AND VON ARMY, TEXAS.

THOSE ARE PROBABLY THE CLOSEST THINGS TO THIS AREA RIGHT NOW.

UM, BUT TO JOHN, WHAT YOU WERE SHARING, UM, AND TO MY COLLEAGUES LOOKING FORWARD TO PUTTING IN AN EAST WEST CORRIDOR OR KELLY PARKWAY IN ORDER TO HAVE AN EAST WEST CONNECTOR TO, UH, TOYOTA AND HAVE A STAR T A AND M TO MAKE IT EASIER.

UM, SO I DO HAVE ONE QUESTION, AND I SAW PART OF THE, THE INFRASTRUCTURE WITH THE TUR IS BECAUSE OF THE UTILITIES.

SO I, I GUESS YOU, JOHN, OR YOUR REPRESENTATIVES, THERE'S NO SEWER LINES OUT HERE, OR ARE YOU PUTTING ALL OF THAT IN THE WATER AND THE, THE SEWER? RIGHT.

SO THERE, THERE, THAT'S DEFINITELY ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE HAVING TO EXTEND THE SANITARY SEWER LINE FROM ACROSS INTERSTATE 35 OVER TO THE COMMUNITY.

UM, THERE'S REALLY BEEN A LACK OF, OF, UH, SANITARY SEWERS SPECIFICALLY IN THE AREA.

AND THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS YOU SEE THE UNDEVELOPED LAND IS BECAUSE THERE WAS, THERE WERE NOT THOSE FACILITIES AVAILABLE TO, TO MOVE FORWARD.

UM, SO AS WELL AS, AS YOU LOOK AROUND THERE IS, YOU KNOW, UM, SOME LIMITATIONS AROUND A BUILDING NEAR TOYOTA.

SO WE, YOU KNOW, THAT'S, THAT'S ALSO KEPT THINGS LOOKING THE WAY THEY'RE, BUT, BUT WE'RE, WE'RE NOT, UH, SUBJECT TO THAT HERE.

UM, WELL, THANK YOU.

AND, AND I THINK JUST, I KNOW VETO AND THE PLANNING COMMITTEE, ET CETERA, AS WE'RE LOOKING AND DEVELOPING FURTHER AND NOT NECESSARILY GOING NORTH AND HAVING, UH, THE, THE CITY SPREAD OUT, BUT STILL WITHIN AND JUST OUTSIDE OF FOUR 10 IN THE CITY, IT IS CRUCIAL THAT WE CONTINUE TO INVEST IN OR HAVE SAWS INVEST IN OUR, UM, SANITARY, SANITARY SEWER AND WATER CONNECTIONS SOUTH OF THAT AREA, PARTICULARLY IN THE AREA.

I'LL JUST GO TOWARDS DISTRICT THREE SPECIFICALLY, THOSE THAT THE AREAS THAT ARE VACANT LAND, BUT ALSO LIVE CLOSE TO DO, UM, BECAUSE THEY'VE BEEN LIVING IN THAT THE, THE FAMILIES HAVE BEEN LIVING OR HAVE PROPERTY IN THAT AREA FOR SO MANY YEARS WITH THE RIOS, UH, TREATMENT PLANT CLOSE TO THEM, BUT NOT EVEN ACCESS TO A SANITARY SEWER, UM, OUTLET IN THAT AREA.

SO I WANT JUST TO KEEP THAT ON THE, THE MINDS OF MY, MY COLLEAGUES HERE.

BUT THANK YOU FOR THIS.

AND, UM, YES, THE COUNCILWOMAN IS IN SUPPORT.

YOU CAN JUST NOD AND YES, IF SHE IS.

OKAY, THANK YOU.

AND, UM, SO I MOVE TO, UH, TAKE THIS TO FULL COUNCIL CONSIDERATION.

OKAY, GREAT.

WE HAVE A MOTION.

IS THERE A SECOND? OKAY, GOOD.

WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.

AND, UM, I DID SPEAK TO COUNCILWOMAN GARCIA AND SHE'S, UH, IN SUPPORT OF, UH, THESE, THIS ITEM ALSO.

UH, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? UH, COUNCIL MEMBER COURAGE.

UH, I JUST WANTED TO ASK, UH, EITHER IAN OR VERO, UM, WHAT IS THE, UH, THE, UH, INCOME RANGE FOR PEOPLE WHO WOULD WANNA BE BUYING FROM 2 25 TO 2 65? UH, WHAT IS THEIR A M I? SO PRICE AT ABOUT 240, OH, SORRY, BELLA, DO YOU WANNA ANSWER THAT? NO, GO AHEAD.

JOB CENTERS THAT JOHN MENTIONED WOULD BE ABLE TO AFFORD, UH, THAT LOWER END, UH, OF THE HOMES AT W PROGRAM.

SO, SO A PRICE POINT, UH, AT ABOUT THAT TWO 40,000 RANGE, $240,000 RANGE IS A FAMILY OF FOUR EARNING ABOUT 120, UH, PERCENT OF THE AREA MEAN AND INCOME.

SO THAT WOULD PUT THEM AROUND, UH, YOU KNOW, 80,000 FOR A FAMILY OF FOUR, SO TWO INCOME EARNERS AROUND 40,000.

UM, SO I, I, I HAVEN'T DONE THE MATH AND I, I'M NOT TOO FAMILIAR WITH THE, UH, EMPLOYMENT CENTERS, UH, THAT JOHN MENTIONED, BUT I, I WOULD ASSUME, AND I CAN GET SOME OF THAT DATA FROM OUR E D D DEPARTMENT, THAT MANY OF THOSE EMPLOYEES WHO WORK AT SOME OF THOSE, UH,

[01:05:01]

OKAY, THANK YOU.

ITEM NUMBER SIX IS A BRIEFING BY, UH, EITHER VETO OR LORI.

WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND FOR APPROVAL OF ITEM NUMBER FIVE.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

SO THESE WILL MOVE FORWARD TO FULL COUNSEL BY JUNE 10TH.

UM,

[6. 21-3656 Briefing on the City’s Strategic Housing Implementation Plan (SHIP) and the City's ForEveryoneHome (FEH) anti-displacement initiative's progress and next steps [Lori Houston, Assistant City Manager; Verónica R. Soto, FAICP, Director, Neighborhood and Housing Services]]

THIS IS A BRIEFING BY VETO, AND I BELIEVE IT'S A BRIEFING ON THE STRATEGIC HOUSING IMPLEMENTATION PLAN.

AND I'LL HAND IT OVER TO VETO.

SHOULD PROBABLY INTRODUCE IAN AS WELL.

YES, ACTUALLY, SO JUST TO SET THE TABLE, IAN WILL WALK THROUGH THE PRESENTATION, BUT JUST A REMINDER THAT OUR WORK ON THE STRATEGIC HOUSING IMPLEMENTATION PLAN IS BUILDING OFF OF THE MAYOR'S HOUSING POLICY FRAMEWORK.

SO, JUST A REMINDER, THE FOUNDATION FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION PLAN ITEM, IT'S REALLY GONNA BE RESTING ON THE MAYOR'S HOUSING POLICY TASK FORCE.

AND I'LL ASK IAN TO WALK US THROUGH NOT JUST THE, THE SHIP, THE STRATEGIC HOUSING IMPLEMENTATION PLAN, BUT HOW WE'RE FOLDING IN OUR FOR EVERYONE HOME INITIATIVE ANTI DISPLACEMENT WORK AS WELL.

IAN, IF YOU WOULD PLEASE.

THANK YOU VETO AND LORI? YEAH.

I'LL BE GIVING A, AN UPDATE ON A STRATEGIC HOUSING IMPLEMENTATION PLAN.

AND AS VETO MENTIONED, OUR FOUR WENT HOME INITIATIVE, WHICH AT THIS POINT ARE, ARE WORKING VERY CLOSELY TOGETHER TO ENSURE THAT A LOT OF THE, UH, GOOD WORK THAT'S BEING DONE THROUGH OUR FOUR WENT HOME ANTI DISPLACEMENT INITIATIVE IS INCORPORATED INTO THE DEPARTMENT AND THE CITY'S WORK GOING FORWARD.

SO, UH, JUST AS A WAY OF BACKGROUND, OUR FOUR EVERYONE HOME INITIATIVE IS OUR ANTI-DISPLACEMENT, AND IN INC AN INCLUSIVE GROWTH INITIATIVE, UM, THAT'S REALLY DRIVEN BY THE COMMUNITY AND COORDINATION WITH THE, WITH THE CITY.

UM, WE HAVE A COUPLE OF KEY PRINCIPLES, UM, YOU KNOW, MEANINGFUL ENGAGEMENT WITH INDIVIDUALS AND, AND COMMUNITIES WHO ARE IMPACTED.

UM, WE WANT TO TRY AND REALLY EMPHASIZE THAT COORDINATED HOUSING SYSTEM THAT WAS BROUGHT UP THROUGH THE HOUSING POLICY FRAMEWORK WITH OUR COMMUNITY PARTNERS, UH, OUR CITY PARTNERS, WE ARE LOOKING AT THROUGH, UH, RACIAL EQUITY LENS, ALL OF THE POLICIES AND CHALLENGES THAT ARE BEING FACED THROUGH OUR COMMUNITY.

AND THERE ARE FOUR DELIVERABLES, UH, THAT ARE REALLY BEING, UH, DONE THROUGH THIS, THIS, UH, FOUR ONE HOME INITIATIVE, AND THAT'S THE NEEDS ASSESSMENT, THE ANTI-DISPLACEMENT AND INCLUSIVE GROWTH AGENDA, AND THEN TWO IMPLEMENTATION PLANS, UH, FOR SELECTED POLICIES.

SO, UH, AGAIN, AS A WAY OF BACKGROUND, THIS IS THE TEAM THAT WAS ASSEMBLED TO, TO WORK ON THIS.

I THINK EVERYBODY'S PROBABLY FAMILIAR WITH EVERYBODY LISTED ON HERE, BUT WE HAVE A GOOD MIX OF, UH, INDUSTRY REPRESENTATIVES, UM, FROM OUR, OUR HOUSING COORDINATED HOUSING SYSTEM, THE CITY AND THE HOUSING TRUST AND SAHA.

UH, WE ALSO HAVE SOME OF OUR COMMUNITY MEMBERS HOUSING COMMISSIONERS, UH, AND OTHER NONPROFITS IN THE COMMUNITY.

SO, WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW, UM, WE TALKED ABOUT THE FOUR DELIVERABLES.

WE ARE IN PHASE FOUR, WHICH IS REALLY FOCUSING IN ON THOSE IMPLEMENTATION PLANS.

UH, WE'VE PREVIOUSLY PRESENTED THE NEEDS ASSESSMENT, OUR PO POLICY IDEATION, AND, UH, OUR DRAFT ANTI DISPLACEMENT AGENDA, UH, TO THIS COUNCIL.

SO THIS IS REALLY WHAT WE'RE FOCUSING RIGHT NOW, IS THOSE IMPLEMENTATION PLANS THAT WILL BE SELECTED, UH, TO GO FORWARD, UM, WITH GROUND AND SOLUTIONS NETWORK AS THE LEAD NEXT SLIDE.

SO WE DID, UM, UH, START A PUBLIC INPUT, UH, PROCESS TO SELECT THE TWO POLICIES THAT WILL BE GOING FORWARD.

WE HAD A PUBLIC SURVEY THAT WAS OPEN FROM APRIL 1ST TO APRIL 30TH.

UM, WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE GOT THE WORD ABOUT, UH, WORD OUT ON A SURVEY AS BEST AS POSSIBLE.

SO WE DISTRIBUTED FLYERS, WE UTILIZED MAILING LIST.

UH, WE SENT THE INVITATION TO ALL OF OUR EAF APPLICANTS.

WE GOT 330 RESPONSES, UH, 318 WERE IN ENGLISH AND RE AND SPANISH.

WE HELD FOUR VIRTUAL PUBLIC MEETINGS TO IN ENGLISH AND TWO IN SPANISH.

UH, AND THE TWO HIGH PRIORITIES FROM THE SURVEY AND THE WORK THAT WE DID, UM, WERE, WERE TWO THINGS.

ONE WAS, UH, CHALLENGE ONE, WHICH DEALT WITH FORMAL EVICTIONS, UH, INFORMATION ON EVICTIONS AND NON-LEASE RENEWALS.

UM, AND THEY WANTED TO SEE WHAT WE COULD DO, UM, AS THE MORATORIUM ENDS, UM, TO ADDRESS EVICTIONS REALLY IN THE COMMUNITY.

SO THAT WAS ONE CHALLENGE THAT WAS A VERY HIGH PRIORITY IN THE COMMUNITY.

CHALLENGE FIVE WAS ANOTHER ONE THAT WAS BROUGHT UP THROUGH THE, THROUGH THE SURVEY.

UM, AND THAT WAS REALLY CITY INVESTMENT AND NEW DEVELOPMENT, INCREASING DISPLACEMENT PRESSURE AROUND OUR COMMUNITY.

SO, YOU KNOW, THAT'S A, THAT'S A BROAD, UH, CHALLENGE, BUT THAT WAS DEFINITELY SOMETHING THAT WE HEARD AS A COMMON THEME THROUGHOUT THE SURVEY RESULTS.

REALLY KEEPING, UH, IN MIND SOME, SOME CRITERIA SO THAT THE, THE TWO POLICIES THAT ARE SELECTED ARE POLICIES THAT WE CAN MOVE FORWARD ON PRETTY QUICKLY.

SO, AS WE GO THROUGH THIS, UM, PROCESS OF SELECTING OUR TWO IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES, WE'RE

[01:10:01]

AND SO, YOU KNOW, THE TEAM IS WORKING, UH, WITHIN A VENN DIAGRAM HERE ON THE RIGHT THAT REALLY LOOKS AT POLITICAL FEASIBILITY, FINANCIAL FEASIBILITY, UH, IMPACTFUL COMMUNITY BENEFITS TO THE COMMUNITY, UH, AND ADVANCES DEEP AND LASTING AFFORDABILITY.

AND SO THEY'RE LOOKING AT, UH, ALL OF THE, ALL OF THE RESULTS FROM OUR SURVEY WITH THAT LENS TO TRY AND SELECT TWO.

YOU WERE ALSO LOOKING AT, UM, YOU KNOW, WE WANNA MAKE SURE THAT THE POLICIES WE SELECT AREN'T BEING WORKED ON BY ANYBODY ELSE.

SO THAT THIS, THIS REALLY IS KIND OF TAKING A FOCUS LAND AT SOMETHING THAT NO ONE ELSE IS DOING, AND WE WANNA MAKE SURE THAT THEY CAN BE IMPLEMENTED PRETTY RAPIDLY.

UM, WE DID WANNA SELECT SOMETHING, UM, THAT WOULD TAKE YEARS AND YEARS TO DO.

WE WANTED TO SEE HOW WE COULD HAVE MEANINGFUL CHANGE IN A VERY SHORT PERIOD OF TIME.

SO THE FIRST POLICY THAT WAS SELECTED BY THE GROUP, UM, WAS, UH, FIVE A, UH, IF YOU REMEMBER FROM THE, THE DRAFT STRATEGY PLAN THAT WAS SENT OUT TO THE COMMITTEE, UM, THIS ONE WAS TO CEASE PUBLIC SUPPORT FOR MARKET RATE DEVELOPMENT THAT DISPLACES RESIDENTS.

SO THAT WAS THE ONE THAT THEY SELECTED.

AND I'LL TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THAT IN THE NEXT SLIDE.

UM, AND THEN THE OTHER ONE, THEY'RE STILL WAITING TO DETERMINE, UM, THEY'RE HAVING A REALLY GOOD CONVERSATION WITHIN THEIR GROUP, AND THEY HOPE TO HAVE THAT SECOND ONE SELECTED THIS WEEK.

ACTUALLY, THE OTHER RECOMMENDATIONS FROM, FOR EVERYONE HOME AND, AND THE REASON WHY THESE TWO ITEMS ARE GOING TOGETHER IS THAT THROUGH OUR STRATEGIC HOUSING IMPLEMENTATION PLAN, WE ARE GONNA BE UTILIZING A LOT OF THE, UH, PLANNING DOCUMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN DONE THROUGHOUT THE CITY TO MAKE SURE THAT WE INCORPORATE THEM.

SO THAT INCLUDES, UM, THE S THE, THE HOMELESSNESS STRATEGIC PLAN, UM, OH, P'S OPPORTUNITY AT RISK, AS WELL AS FOR EVERYONE HOME TO SEE, UM, YOU KNOW, WHAT THINGS THAT WE CAN PULL IN THAT ARE DIRECTLY RELATED TO OUR STRATEGIC HOUSING IMPLEMENTATION PLAN AND ENSURE THAT THEY'RE, THEY'RE SELECTED.

SO IF WE GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE.

SO THE, THE FIRST, UH, POLICY THAT WAS SELECTED, AGAIN, WAS TO CEASE PUBLIC SUPPORT FOR MARKET RATE DEVELOPMENT THAT DISPLACES RESIDENTS.

AND, UH, THE DESCRIPTION OF THIS WITHIN THE 4 0 1 HOME DOCUMENT WITH CITY COUNCIL SHOULD ADOPT THE POLICY TO WITHHOLD ANY CITY SUPPORT, INCLUDING LAND SALES, TAX, ABATEMENTS, TAX REIMBURSEMENTS, FEE WAIVERS, AND ZONING CHANGES TO DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS THAT WILL DISPLACE LOW-INCOME RESIDENTS OR DISCRIMINATE AGAINST VETERANS OR INDIVIDUALS WITH HOUSING VOUCHER.

UM, THIS IS VERY BROAD, AND THE FIRST STEP OF THIS PROCESS IS TO SELECT THAT.

AND THEN THE SECOND STEP IS TO WORK WITH GRANITE SUSAN NETWORK TO SEE WHAT DOES THAT ACTUALLY MEAN AND WHAT CAN WE ACTUALLY DO TO ADDRESS THAT.

UM, THERE ARE SOME CHALLENGES, UM, AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, AND WE'VE IDENTIFIED THOSE DEFINING DISPLACEMENT AND DETERMINING THE APPROPRIATE IMPACT ASSESSMENT TOOLS TO MITIGATE THAT DISPLACEMENT IS PROBABLY GONNA BE THE BIGGEST PIECE.

UM, WE WILL BE LOOKING AT NATIONAL BEST PRACTICES ACROSS THE COUNTRY, AND WE'LL ALSO BE DOING ADDITIONAL OUTREACH WITH OUR COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS, UM, ACROSS THE CITY TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'VE GOT A LOT OF INPUT INTO, TO HOW WE CAN DETERMINE THAT.

UH, WE WILL DEFINITELY BE WORKING WITH, UH, OUR CITY DEPARTMENTS AND H S D AND C C B O AND THE HOUSING TRUST.

UM, BUT WE ALSO KNOW WE HAVE A LOT OF OTHER STAKEHOLDERS IN THE REAL ESTATE COMMUNITY AS WELL AS IMPACTED RESIDENTS.

SO THAT WILL BE A VERY THOROUGH, UH, INPUT PROCESS ON HOW WE CAN BETTER DEFINE THIS AND HOW WE CAN BETTER, UM, DEVELOP A POLICY TO ADDRESS IT.

UM, THE TIMELINE IS SHORT TERM, UM, BUT IT KIND OF DEPENDS ON HOW THIS PROCESS GOES OF MAKING SURE THAT WE CAN ACCURATELY, UM, DEFINE THIS DISPLACEMENT AND THE APPROPRIATE IMPACT ASSESSMENT RULES.

SO, AGAIN, THE, THE REASON THAT WE'RE PRESENTING THESE TWO, UM, INITIATIVES TOGETHER IS BECAUSE THEY ARE VERY INTERTWINED.

THE STRATEGIC HOUSING IMPLEMENTATION PLAN, UH, IS REALLY FOCUSED ON SOME HIGH LEVEL, UH, DELIVERABLES THAT FURTHER THE HOUSING POLICY FRAMEWORK.

SO ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS THAT WE'VE DONE, UH, ARE WORKING TOWARDS IS DEFINING AFFORDABILITY.

WE'RE LOOKING AT OUR, OUR, UH, HOUSING GOALS TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE RECALIBRATED FOR THE FUTURE.

AND THEN WE'RE PUTTING TOGETHER A FUNDING PLAN AND, UH, IMPLEMENTATION PLAN TO LOOK AT HOW MUCH FUNDING WE NEED TO ADDRESS THAT NEED.

AND THEN WHAT STRATEGIES AND WHERE THOSE STRATEGIES ARE IS REALLY WHERE OTHER INITIATIVES, LIKE FOR EVERYONE, HOME PLAY IN.

SO FOR EVERYONE HOME IS LOOKING SPECIFICALLY AT THE, UH, ANTI DISPLACEMENT STRATEGIES.

AND SO WE WANNA MAKE SURE THOSE ARE INCORPORATED INTO THE SHIP.

SO I THINK I ALREADY TALKED ABOUT THIS.

UM, SO WE DON'T, I DON'T THINK WE REALLY NEED TO DO THIS, BUT A LOT OF THE, UM, THE FOUNDATIONAL GUIDING PRINCIPLES FOR, FOR EVERYONE HOME ARE ALSO INCLUDED IN THE SHIP.

WE WANNA MAKE SURE WE HAVE COMMITMENTS AND ACCOUNTABILITY, AND WE PUT THE LIVED EXPERIENCES OF RESIDENTS AT THE CENTER, AGAIN, CONTINUING ON THE HOUSING POLICY FRAMEWORK.

OUR NONPROFIT HOUSING PROVIDERS.

SO, WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW WITH OUR PROGRESS REPORT, WE HAVE RECALIBRATED OUR TARGET GOALS, WHICH WE PRE PREVIOUSLY PRESENTED TO, UH, THIS COMMITTEE.

UM, LAST TIME WE PRESENTED, WE, UH, BROUGHT TO YOU A DEFINITION, UH, THAT WAS RECOMMENDED, UM, BY THE HOUSING COMMISSION FOR THE DEFINITION OF AFFORDABILITY.

UH, SINCE THEN, WE'VE, WE'VE, UH, HAD SOME ADDITIONAL INPUT FROM SOME OF OUR NON-PROFIT, OUR, OUR, UM, CHODOS.

UM, AND SO WE ARE GOING TO BE COORDINATING, UH, A MEETING WITH OUR HOUSING COMMISSION AND OUR CHODOS TO MAKE SURE THAT THE DEFINITION THAT THE HOUSING COMMISSION RECOMMENDS IS IN ALIGNMENT WITH

[01:15:01]

UM, SO THAT WILL BE HAPPENING THIS MONTH, AND THEN WE'LL BRING BACK TO THIS, UH, COUNCIL COMMITTEE.

UM, THE, THE RESULTS OF THAT MEETING THAT SHOULD BE HAPPENING, UH, OUR FUNDING PLAN IS WELL UNDERWAY.

WE'VE ALREADY RECEIVED A DRAFT OF IT FROM OUR CONSULTANT.

WE'VE, UH, WE'VE SENT SOME COMMENTS BACK, AND WE SHOULD, WE SHOULD HAVE THAT, UH, IN TIME FOR YOUR NEXT, UH, JUNE MEETING SO THAT WE CAN PRESENT TO YOU SOME OF THOSE DRAFT FUNDING PLAN RECOMMENDATIONS.

AND THEN OUR IMPLEMENTATION PLAN RIGHT NOW IS CURRENTLY BEING WORKED ON THROUGH OUR STAKEHOLDER FORUMS, WHICH I'LL GIVE A MORE IN-DEPTH, UH, UPDATE HERE ON THE NEXT COUPLE SLIDES.

SO WE DO HAVE FOUR STAKEHOLDER FORUMS. WE HAVE OUR REAL ESTATE AND DEVELOPMENT, OUR POLICY STAKEHOLDER FORUM, OUR AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND COMMUNITY, UH, STAKEHOLDER, I MEAN, OUR AFFORDABLE HOUSING COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDER FORUM, AND OUR RESIDENTS AND COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDER FORUMS. UH, ALL FORUMS HAVE MET, UH, MULTIPLE TIMES TO WORKSHOP SOME OF THESE RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE HOUSING POLICY FRAMEWORK, UM, FROM HP'S OPPORTUNITY AT RISK, FROM OUR HOMELESSNESS STRATEGIC PLAN AND FROM FOR EVERYONE HOME, UH, THEY'VE EACH WORKSHOPPED ANYWHERE BETWEEN FOUR TO EIGHT STRATEGIES TO MAKE SURE THAT WE CAN GET SOME GUIDANCE.

SO WHEN THE CITY PICKS UP THESE DOCUMENTS, WE HAVE THEM, UH, WE HAVE A LOT OF DIRECTION ON WHICH WAY WE GO.

UH, OUR FEEDBACK IS BEING GATHERED FROM ALL THE OTHER FORUMS. SO EACH FORUM WILL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO COMMENT.

UM, SO POLICIES THAT ARE DEVELOPED, SAY, IN THE REAL ESTATE AND DEVELOPMENT STAKEHOLDER FORUM, WILL BE REVIEWED BY THE RESIDENT COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDER FORUM.

SO WE INCORPORATE ALL COMMENTS FROM THE, UH, FROM THE LARGER STAKEHOLDER FIRMS. AND THEN THE FINAL RECOMMENDATION WILL BE SENT TO OUR FULL SHIP COMMITTEE, UH, HOUSING COMMISSION COUNCIL.

AND THEN I'LL GO OVER THE TIMELINE, UH, HERE IN A COUPLE SLIDES.

ULTIMATELY WILL BE ADOPTED BY, UH, THE CITY COUNCIL, UM, SAHA AND THE HOUSING TRUST.

SO, I WANTED TO PROVIDE SOME EXAMPLES OF STRATEGIES THAT ARE BEING WORKSHOPPED RIGHT NOW, UM, THROUGH OUR STAKEHOLDER FORUMS. SO IN OUR REAL ESTATE AND DEVELOPMENT STAKEHOLDER FORUM, WE'RE REALLY LOOKING AT THINGS LIKE DEMOLITION DIVERSION PROGRAM.

UM, WE'VE HEARD FROM COUNCIL AND FROM THE COMMUNITY, UM, THAT DEMOLITIONS ARE SCHEDULED, AND THERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY THERE TO TRY AND PRESERVE SOME OF THEM AS AFFORDABLE HOUSING.

UM, A MULTI-FAMILY REHAB PROGRAM.

WE'VE ALSO HEARD FROM COUNCIL IN THE COMMUNITY THAT THERE'S A LOT OF NATURALLY OCCURRING AFFORDABLE HOUSING OR, UH, SUBSIDIZED, UH, UH, HOUSING THAT'S CURRENTLY, UM, YOU KNOW, TOWARDS THE END OF THEIR, UM, THEIR, UH, COVENANT PERIOD.

AND SO HOW CAN WE CONTINUE TO KEEP THOSE REHABBED AND IN THE MARKET FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND A SINGLE FAMILY PRESERVATION, UH, FUND, UM, AND A STRATEGY.

SO THOSE ARE SOME OF THE THINGS THAT THE REAL ESTATE AND DEVELOPMENT TEAM IS WORKING ON FOR OUR HOUSING POLICY.

THEY'RE LOOKING AT, UH, BUYRIGHT ZONING OR ANY ZONING CHANGES THAT WE CAN DO TO, UH, INCENTIVIZE THE DEVELOPMENT OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING, AND ALSO LOOKING AT TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT WITH A FOCUS ON AFFORDABLE HOUSING.

AGAIN, TYING IN TRANSIT AND AFFORDABILITY, UH, AFFORDABILITY WHEN WE LOOK AT, UH, INCENTIVIZING DEVELOPMENTS.

AND THEN LOOKING AT OVERALL AT OUR HOUSING INCENTIVES, UH, AND ECONOMIC DEVELOP DEVELOPMENT INCENTIVE POLICY, UM, HOW WE CONNECT OUR INCENTIVES TO AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND HOW WE, UH, CONNECT OUR INCENTIVES FOR JOBS TO AFFORDABLE HOUSING.

OUR AFFORDABLE HOUSING COMMUNITY IS LOOKING AT, UM, ENACTING SOME LEGISLATION FOR MEDICAID EXPANSION IN TEXAS.

AND I CAN, UH, HAVE SARAH EXPLAIN A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THAT, BUT THAT'S REALLY INTERESTING AS IT RELATES TO SUPPORTIVE HOUSING, UM, PERMANENT SUPPORTIVE HOUSING FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING, THERE'S SOME BARRIERS TO HOW, UM, HOW WE'RE ABLE TO FUND THAT HERE IN TEXAS.

BUT OTHER, OTHER STATES, UM, HAVE DONE SOME REALLY INTERESTING THINGS.

EMBEDDING, UH, FINANCIAL COUNSELING AND FOUNDATIONAL, UH, CENTRAL UPSTREAM SERVICE INTO OUR HOUSING, AND LOOKING AT REALLY SETTING A GOAL FOR, UH, PERMANENT SUPPORTIVE HOUSING.

I KNOW, UM, EVERYBODY'S FAMILIAR WITH THE TOWN POINT PROJECT THAT THAT HAPPENED.

AND, AND WE AS A COMMUNITY HAVE HEARD OVERWHELMINGLY THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE MORE OF THAT.

SO WHAT'S A STRATEGY THAT WE CAN DO, UH, TO SET A TARGET FOR THAT AND TO SET UP PARAMETERS, UH, FOR SUCCESSFUL PROJECTS LIKE THAT IN THE FUTURE? OUR RESIDENTS AND COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDER FORUM IS LOOKING AT EVICTION, DIVERSION AND PREVENTION.

WE'VE DONE A LOT OF GREAT WORK, UH, THROUGH THE PANDEMIC.

UM, BUT HOW DO WE CONTINUE THAT GOING FORWARD AND REALLY MOVE THE NEEDLE HERE LOCALLY? UH, ESTABLISH A RESIDENT OWNED, UH, MOBILE HOME PARK.

SO THAT'S KIND OF LIKE A, A CO-OP OR EVEN A, A CONDO SITUATION WHERE THE RESIDENTS ACTUALLY OWN, UH, THE MOBILE HOME PARK.

AND THEN REALLY LOOKING AT, UH, PRINCIPLES FOR PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT IN THE, IN THE SHIP IMPLEMENTATION FOR ALL THE POLICIES GOING FORWARD.

SO MAKING SURE THAT THE RESIDENTS COMMUNITY FEEL CONNECTED TO EVERYTHING THAT THE CITY AND OUR PARTNERS WILL BE DOING GOING FORWARD.

UM, THE HOUSING TRUST, AS WE JUST ALLUDED TO IN OUR FIRST ITEM TODAY IS GOING THROUGH A LITTLE BIT OF TRANSITION.

SO THEY ARE WORKING THOSE RIGHT NOW.

UM, THEY'VE MET SEVERAL TIMES ALREADY, UM, AND THEY SHOULD BE DONE WITH THEIR FIRST DRAFTS SO THAT WE WOULD BE ABLE TO PRESENT TO YOU ALL, UH, IN A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAIL WHAT ALL OF THE STRATEGIES LOOK LIKE.

UM, AND THEN WE WILL COME BACK TO THE COMMITTEE NEXT MONTH.

UH, IN BETWEEN THERE, WE WILL BE PRESENTING TO OUR FULL SHIP COMMITTEE.

UM, WE'LL BE PROVIDING AN UPDATE TO OUR, OUR HOUSING COMMISSION.

AND THEN ALONG THE WAY, WE'LL BE PROVIDING UPDATES TO SAHA, UH, AND THE SAN ANTONIO HOUSING TRUST.

[01:20:01]

UM, SO THAT TIMING, WE'LL BE WORKING WITH PETE WITH ONE OF OUR CO-CHAIRS ON MAKING SURE THAT THAT BOARD IS FULLY ON BOARD WITH THE VISION, UH, OF SAN ANTONIO, UH, MOVING FORWARD.

AND THEN, OF COURSE, MAKING SURE THIS COMMITTEE IS UPDATED WITH THE BOARD COUNCIL.

SO THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.

UH, I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS, UH, THAT YOU MAY HAVE ON THIS ITEM.

UM, THANK YOU, IAN.

AND THIS ITEM IS FOR BRIEFING ONLY, ARE WE? THAT'S CORRECT.

DO WE NEED TO MOVE THIS ALONG? JUST BRIEFING, COUNCILMAN.

UM, THANK YOU.

AND, UH, THANK YOU TO ALL THE PARTICIPANTS, BUT LET, LET ME JUST ASK YOU A QUESTION, UH, REGARDING THE, UM, I GUESS IT WAS SORT OF A TIMELINE AND, UM, I GUESS WHAT I'M CONFUSED ABOUT, EVEN AS YOU GO THROUGH IT NOW, HOW MANY DIFFERENT COMMITTEES OR COMMISSIONS ARE INVOLVED IN THIS PROCESS? SO THERE IS A, UH, FULL SHIP COMMITTEE, UH, AND THAT'S A LARGER GROUP.

IT'S ABOUT 30 PEOPLE.

IT'S MOSTLY CITY AND GOVERNMENTAL AGENCIES.

SO THINK ABOUT OTHER VARIOUS CITY DEPARTMENTS THAT ARE INVOLVED IN HOUSING.

UM, O H P D H SS, UH, N H S D C C D O.

WE ALSO HAVE SOME OF OUR PARTNERS FROM THE COUNTY.

WE HAVE OUR UTILITIES.

UH, SO THAT'S THE BIGGER SHIP BOARD.

UH, AND THEN BELOW THAT WE HAVE FOUR STAKEHOLDER FORUMS, AND THOSE ARE THE FOUR FORUMS THAT ARE CURRENTLY WORKING ON THOSE IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY.

SO THAT'S REALLY, THAT'S REALLY THE SETUP OF WHAT, OF WHAT THERE IS RIGHT NOW, UH, IN EACH OF THOSE FORUMS AS A CO-CHAIR THAT WE, WE WORK WITH VERY CLOSELY.

AND THEN OUTSIDE OF THAT, BECAUSE THIS POLICY WILL BE ADOPTED BY, UM, UH, CITY COUNCIL, WE WORK VERY CLOSELY WITH THE HOUSING COMMISSION AND THIS COUNCIL COMMITTEE, UH, AND WE'LL BE BRIEFING, UH, AND WE HAVE BRIEFED THE HOUSING AUTHORITY AS WELL AS THE HOUSING TRUST.

SO THERE IS A LOT OF MOVING PIECES, BUT IN ORDER TO, TO TRY AND COORDINATE THIS PLAN, UH, AMONGST ALL OUR ENTITIES, UM, IT DOES REQUIRE QUITE A BIT OF, UM, BACK AND FORTH, I WOULD SAY.

CAN, CAN YOU, UM, DO YOU HAVE THAT PRESENTED IN A CHART OR A GRAPH OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT? I, I HAVE PRESENTED IT PREVIOUSLY.

COUNCILMAN, I DON'T THINK I HAVE IT ON THIS PRESENTATION, BUT I WOULD BE HAPPY TO SEND IT TO YOU OR, OR BRING IT BACK THE NEXT TIME WE COME HERE.

YEAH, I THINK, I THINK WHAT WOULD BE HELPFUL, YOU KNOW, PERHAPS FOR FUTURE COUNCILS IS TO SEE ALL THE DIFFERENT, UH, HOW THEY REPORT TO EACH OTHER.

I MEAN, I KNOW THAT THE CITY COUNCIL ULTIMATELY HAS THE LAST WORD, BUT, UM, YOU KNOW, IF YOU COULD JUST SORT OF SHOW THAT, UM, HOW THEY'RE ALL INTER INTERACTING, UM, I THINK THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL.

I, I, UM, I'VE KIND OF GOTTEN LOST INTO WHO'S DOING WHAT AND WHO'S RECOMMENDING WHAT, AND IT, IT, IT'S LIKE, I, I, MY SENSE IS THAT THERE'S JUST TOO MANY DIFFERENT COMMITTEES.

AND COUNCILMAN, LET ME STREAMLINE THAT A LITTLE BIT.

YOU HAVE THE SHIP COMMITTEE, WHICH IS THE STRATEGIC HOUSING IMPLEMENTATION PLAN THAT HAS THE, THE STAFF AND OUR PARTNERS, AND THEN WE HAVE THOSE FOUR SUBCOMMITTEES UNDERNEATH THAT.

BUT THE SHIP GETS FEEDBACK FROM THE HOUSING COMMISSION, AND THAT IS A COMMITTEE THAT'S CREATED BY MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

AND THEN, BUT, BUT ULTIMATELY IT MUST GO TO THE PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE FOR APPROVAL TO MOVE IT FORWARD TO CITY COUNCIL.

AND SO THE SHIP IS OUR, BASICALLY OUR WORKING COMMITTEE, THE HOUSING COMMISSION PROVIDES US THAT PUBLIC FEEDBACK OPPORTUNITY.

IN ADDITION, IN ADDITION TO THE WORKING COMMITTEES, BUT THE TWO COUNCIL COMMITTEES, THE TWO COUNCIL ENTITIES THAT ARE GOING TO BE APPROVING THIS DOCUMENT AS THE PLANNING AND LAND DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE AND CITY COUNCIL.

WHO'S, WHO'S LEADING WHAT.

UH, ACTUALLY, ROBERT, CAN YOU BRING THE ONE THAT YOU JUST HAD? CAN YOU BRING THAT UP AGAIN? UH, I THINK, UM, UH, AND MAYBE THIS IS, IS THIS, IS THIS WHAT YOU JUST ARTICULATED, LORI? YEAH.

ROBERT, I THINK IT'S SLIDE 17.

I, I THINK THAT HELPS ME, UH, A LITTLE BIT JUST TO ORGANIZE MM-HMM.

ALL THE THOUGHTS AND THE RECOMMENDATIONS AND WHO'S CONTRIBUTING.

UM, AND, UH, UH, JUST I THINK THAT'S HELPFUL.

SO, UM, AND, AND AS YOU KNOW, AS, AS WE GO FORWARD WITH A LITTLE BIT OF A, UM, UM, IT WOULD BE HELPFUL TO KNOW EXACTLY WHAT EACH ONE DOES.

MM-HMM.

, JUST LIKE A, YOU KNOW, I MEAN, I, THIS IS HELPFUL BECAUSE I LIKE HOW IT LAYS OUT, AND YOU HAVE THE VERY LITTLE INFORMATION, , BUT IF YOU PUT, LIKE, FOR EXAMPLE, WHO'S ON THE HOUSING COMMISSION, OR NOT NECESSARILY INDIVIDUALS, BUT THE ORGANIZATION THAT MAY CHANGE, UM, AND, UH, AND YOU'VE DONE THAT.

YOU, YOU DID IT IN OTHER SLIDES, BUT IF, IF YOU COULD SORT OF SHOW IT, UH, IN THIS FORMAT, I THINK IT'S HELPFUL TO SEE

[01:25:01]

UM, AND THEN, UM, AND THEN ULTIMATELY, SO THEN IT GOES SHIP COMMITTEE, BUT THEN IT GOES PLANNING AND LAND DEVELOPMENT, AND THEN CITY COUNCIL, RIGHT? UH, UH, LIKE WOULD BE ON THE TOP OF THAT.

AND SO PLANNING UNDER THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO, THERE SHOULD BE ANOTHER STEP THAT PLANNING AND LAND DEVELOPMENT, AND THEN CITY COUNCIL, AND THEN THE SAN ANTONIO HOUSING AUTHORITY BOARD, THEY NEED TO APPROVE IT.

THEY MAY HAVE A SEPARATE COMMITTEE THAT NEEDS TO REVIEW IT AS WELL BEFORE IT GOES TO THEIR FULL BOARD.

AND THE SAME WITH THE HOUSING TRUST.

BUT WE WANT EACH OF THOSE THREE ENTITIES TO APPROVE THIS DOCUMENT.

SO WE ARE ALL COORDINATED IN HOW WE'RE GOING TO MOVE FORWARD WITH AFFORDABLE HOUSING.

WELL, THAT HELPS A LOT.

UH, LET ME TURN IT OVER AND SEE IF, I DON'T KNOW IF ANYBODY ELSE HAS ANY QUESTIONS.

DID WE HAVE ANY COUNCIL MEMBERS? UM, OKAY.

COUNCIL MEMBER TINO, AND THEN COURAGE.

UH, THANK YOU CHAIR AND, AND THANK YOU FOR THE UPDATES AND THE THOUGHTFUL ENGAGEMENT EFFORTS.

UH, THUS FAR MY FOCUS IS, IS HOW INCOMING DOLLARS FROM THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN ACT COULD ASSIST WITH THE PLANS IN TERMS OF HOUSING AND DISPLACEMENT.

UH, SAN ANTONIO IS SCHEDULED TO RECEIVE ABOUT $20 MILLION THROUGH THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN TO DEVELOP AFFORDABLE RENTAL HOUSING TO HELP ACQUIRE NON CONGREGATE SHELTER TO BE CONVERTED INTO PERMANENT AFFORDABLE HOUSING, OR USED AS EMERGENCY SHELTER.

BOTH THE SHIP AND F E H UH, IDENTIFIED CRITICAL ISSUES AS WELL AS POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS.

AND WHILE I UNDERSTAND NEITHER PLAN HAS, HAS BEEN FULLY ADOPTED, UH, COUNCIL CAN STILL USE THEM AS, UH, TO GUIDE POLICY.

SPECIFICALLY, HERE ARE THE SEVERAL, SEVERAL OF THE FORUM FOCUSED AREA RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE SHIP MADE BY THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING COMMUNITY GROUP.

AND THEY WERE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT, UH, SET ASIDE FOR VULNERABLE POPULATION ASSIST IN TRANSITIONS TO TRANS TRANSITIONS TO STABLE HOUSING, HELP THE TRANSITION INTO HOUSING FROM SHELTER.

AND WHILE EVERYONE FROM HOME ACTION ITEMS TWO E AND FIVE H STATE PRIORITI PRIORITIZE PARTNERSHIPS, INCLUDING SAHA, THAT WILL LEVERAGE RESOURCES FOR HOUSING FOR 30% A M I OR LESS.

ALSO IDENTIFY NEW SOURCES OF FUNDING FOR DISPLACEMENT PREVENTION PROGRAMS AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING PREVENTION VETO, OR, UH, WHOEVER WANTS TO ANSWER THIS.

UH, IF THE CITY WERE TO PURCHASE A HOTEL WITH THE RESCUE PLAN DOLLARS TO BE CONVERTED INTO PERMANENT SUPPORTIVE HOUSING OR JUST AFFORDABLE HOUSING, WOULD THAT ALIGN WITH SOME OF THE GOALS AND RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE SHIP FOR EVERYONE HOME, THE HOMELESS STRATEGIC PLAN AND THE HOUSING POLICY FRAMEWORK? AND COUNCILMAN, THIS IS LORI HOUSTON.

AND, AND YES, A LOT OF THOSE STRATEGIES IDENTIFIED IN THE SHIP AND THE HOMELESS STRATEGIC PLAN ARE ELIGIBLE EXPENSES.

WE HAVE A PRESENTATION AND WE WILL OUTLINE WHERE WE PLAN ON SENDING, UH, OR, OR PROVIDING THAT FUNDING.

UM, THE PRESENTATION TODAY IS PRIMARILY JUST ON THE ACTUAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE PLAN, AND HOPEFULLY THAT'LL GET A ADOPTED IN THE NEXT COUPLE MONTHS.

BUT THERE IS A PRESENTATION ON JUNE 2ND.

SECOND THAT WE'LL DISCUSS WHERE THOSE FUNDS ARE GOING, AND ALSO GIVE YOU AN UPDATE ON THE RECOVERY AND RESILIENCY PLAN.

AND THAT INCLUDES HOTELS.

WE WILL DISCUSS HOTELS AS PART OF THOSE, UM, PRES THE PRESENTATION.

I HOPE, I HOPE THE STRATEGY IS, UH, GIVING, GIVING THAT A, A, A LOT OF THOUGHT.

MM-HMM.

, UM, OKAY.

WELL, THANK YOU AGAIN FOR THIS UPDATE.

I LOOK FORWARD TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THESE PLANS.

THANKS.

LIKE NEIGHBORHOOD EMPOWERMENT ZONES OR HOMESTEAD PRESERVATION DISTRICTS, OR EVEN, UH, LOBBYING FOR SOME, SOME STATE CHANGES.

UH, THANK YOU COUNCIL MEMBER COURAGE.

I THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.

YOU KNOW, I, I DIDN'T HEAR, OR MAYBE I MISHEARD, BUT I DON'T THINK WE WERE TALKING VERY MUCH ABOUT THE EFFECTS OF, UM, YOU KNOW, FUTURE HOME DEVELOPMENT AND, UH, WHAT IT DOES, UH, DUE TO GENTRIFICATION AND WHAT IT DOES TO PEOPLE'S HOME TAXES.

UH, YOU KNOW, WHEN THERE'S DEVELOPMENT IN AREAS THAT DON'T USUALLY HAVE, UH, A LOT OF DEVELOPMENT, AND WE'RE SEEING SOME OF THAT.

SO, UH, YOU KNOW, WHAT'S THE PLAN TO ADDRESS THE RISE IN PROPERTY VALUES AND GENTRIFICATION? HOW DOES THAT FIT INTO, UH, WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT? SO THAT'S DEFINITELY, UH, BEEN DISCUSSED, UH, AT LENGTH THROUGH THE FOUR EVERYONE HOME INITIATIVE, AND DEFINITELY AS PART OF THE STRATEGIC HOUSING IMPLEMENTATION PLAN.

UM, SOME ITEMS THAT, THAT SOME OF THE GROUPS ARE LOOKING AT ARE, ARE UTILIZING, UM, THINGS

[01:30:01]

UM, THERE WAS A, THERE WAS A BILL, UH, LAST SESSION, UM, BY REPRESENTATIVE BERNAL, UH, FOR THOSE LEGACY HOMEOWNERS.

UM, SO THERE, THERE ARE THINGS THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT, UM, THAT WE'D BE ABLE TO DO.

SOME OF THEM, THEY MAY NOT BE TOOLS THAT ARE CURRENTLY AVAILABLE TO US, UM, BUT IF THEY'RE NOT, WE'RE GONNA LOOK AT HOW WE CAN, HOW WE CAN, UM, YOU KNOW, LEGISLATIVELY MAKE SOME CHANGES TO TRY AND AFFECT SOME OF THOSE HOMEOWNERS.

UH, THERE'S ALSO AN EDUCATIONAL COMPONENT, UM, SO INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE ELIGIBLE FOR PROPERTY TAX EXEMPTIONS, MAKING SURE THAT, UH, YOU KNOW, THAT THEY'RE ENROLLED AND THEY'RE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THOSE.

UH, AND THEN I THINK GENERALLY WITH DISPLACEMENT, I MEAN, THAT, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE ARE GONNA BE LOOKING AT.

YOU KNOW, HOW DO WE MEASURE THAT? UM, YOU KNOW, AND WHAT ARE, WHAT ARE SOME OF THE OTHER TOOLS THAT WE COULD, WE COULD DO.

SO I DON'T THINK I HAVE A DIRECT ANSWER FOR YOU, COUNCILMAN, TO SAY THAT WE ARE GOING TO DO THIS TO ADDRESS THAT, BUT I THINK WE'RE GONNA LOOK AT WHAT'S AVAILABLE OUT THERE AND, AND SOME OF THE TOOLS THAT WE CAN UTILIZE, UM, EITHER THAT ARE CURRENTLY AVAILABLE OR THAT WE NEED TO, WE NEED TO LOBBY FOR TO BECOME AVAILABLE .

WELL, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I'M GONNA CONTINUE TO WORK ON IS, UH, RAISING THE HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION, WHICH HELPS EVERY HOMEOWNER.

UH, SO, YOU KNOW, I, I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING MORE IMMEDIATE.

WE COULD DO, FOR EXAMPLE, THIS YEAR TO HELP PEOPLE WHOSE PROPERTY VALUES HAVE GONE UP OR WHO LIVE NEAR A DEVELOPMENT THAT'S STARTED TO RAISE THEIR PROPERTY VALUES.

THAT'S ALL FOR ME.

UH, THANK YOU, UH, COUNCIL MEMBER VERAN.

HELLO.

THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION.

UM, GOOD INFORMATION.

I DO HAVE A LOT OF QUESTIONS, OR I GUESS JUST SOME INPUT.

I WANNA START WITH WHERE COUNCIL MEMBER COURAGE LEFT OFF, LEFT OFF.

I SAW THAT, UM, PART OF THE PRESENTATION INCLUDED ADVOCATE, UM, I THINK THE WORD WAS ADVOCATE UNDER, I THINK IT'S SLIDE 12, AFFORDABLE HOUSING COMMUNITY ADVOCATE TO ENACT LEGISLATION FOR MEDICAID EXPANSION IN TEXAS.

I THINK WHAT WE ALSO NEED TO INCLUDE IN HERE IS ADVOCATE FOR LEGISLATION TO OFFSET THE, UM, METHODOLOGY THE STATE USES WHEN IT COMES TO APPRAISALS HERE.

I THINK THAT NEEDS TO BE FIRST AND FOREMOST AS WE AS, AS WE'RE TALKING ABOUT AFFORDABLE HOUSING OR, UM, AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND DISPLACEMENT, OR NOT DISPLACEMENT.

BECAUSE PART OF MY CONCERN IS IN YOUR SLIDE NUMBER FIVE FOR EVERY EVERYONE HOME PUBLIC INPUT, WHEN IT SET TALKS ABOUT HIGH PRIORITY FROM THE SURVEY.

CHALLENGE NUMBER FIVE IS CITY INVESTMENTS AND NEW DEVELOPMENT, INCREASE DISPLACEMENT PRESSURES.

AND SO I, I SEE THAT, I UNDERSTAND WHAT'S HAP WHAT IS BEING SHARED, AND I KNOW THE CONVERSATION AROUND, UH, GENTRIFICATION.

WE'VE BEEN HAVING IT FOR A VERY LONG TIME.

UM, BUT I ALSO BELIEVE THAT, WELL, WE TALKED ABOUT THIS LAST WEEK, THERE HAS TO BE A BALANCED APPROACH BECAUSE, SO FOR SO LONG, TOO MANY PARTS OF THE CITY HAVE BEEN LIVING WITHOUT THE CITY INVESTMENTS.

AND, AND NOW WE'RE FINALLY GETTING THEM, AND NOW WE ARE HAVING THE BURDEN OF OUR LEGACY HOMEOWNERS.

SO THERE HAS TO BE, UM, WE CAN'T JUST SAY NO CITY INVESTMENTS AND, AND LET PEOPLE CONTINUE TO LIVE WITHOUT STREETS FIXED, WITHOUT SIDEWALKS, WITHOUT DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS.

AND, UM, THAT'S NOT, THAT'S NOT FAIR.

UH, BUT THERE HAS TO BE A BALANCED APPROACH TO THIS, AND I'M, I'M SURE THAT'S WHAT IS MEANT.

UM, WELL, I HOPE THAT IS WHAT IS MEANT BECAUSE WE WANT TO HELP IMPROVE ALL THE AMENITIES, NOT JUST AMENITIES, ALL THE BASIC SERVICES THAT OUR NEIGHBORHOODS SHOULD BE HAVING.

SO THAT'S WHY I'M, I'M GLAD YOU'RE LOOKING AT WHAT THE DEFINITION OF A DISPLACEMENT, I THINK THAT WAS ONE OF YOUR TERMS DEFINED CHALLENGES, DEFINING DISPLACEMENT.

I ALSO WANT TO KNOW WHAT DEFINING PUBLIC SUPPORT OR CITY SUPPORT MEANS, BECAUSE IN SLIDE NUMBER SEVEN, I SEE THAT YOU HAVE, CITY COUNCIL SHOULD ADOPT A POLICY TO WITHHOLD ANY CITY SUPPORT, BUT TO SAY CITY SUPPORT WITHHOLD ANY ZONING CHANGES.

UM, THAT IS, I WOULD LOVE TO KNOW FROM OUR CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE WHERE THAT FALLS IN, UM, IN PROPERTY OWNER'S RIGHTS AND JUST

[01:35:01]

WHEN IT COMES TO WITHHOLDING, UH, ZONING FROM AN INDIVIDUAL.

AND I'M GLAD, OF COURSE, DISPLACEMENT WHEN IT COMES TO DIRECT, INDIRECT, OR ANCILLARY, UM, IN THAT AREA.

AND I CAN ADDRESS A COUPLE OF THOSE.

UH, AND YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT, COUNCILWOMAN.

I, I THINK IT, IT REALLY IS A BALANCE.

AND WE HAD A REALLY GOOD, OR YOU ALL HAD A VERY GOOD DISCUSSION ABOUT THAT LAST WEEK, UM, WITH LONE STAR, I THINK, UM, YOU KNOW, WHAT THE COMMUNITY MAY BE EXPERIENCING, UH, MAY BE PARTICULAR TAX DEVELOPMENT THAT ARE INCREASING THEIR TAXES, BUT WE CERTAINLY WANNA MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE INVESTING IN COMMUNITIES THAT HAVE HISTORICALLY BEEN UNDERINVESTED IN, AND THAT WAS ALSO A BIG PART OF WHERE EVERYONE HOME.

SO, YOU KNOW, THIS IS, UH, THIS IS THE FIRST STEP IN MOVING THIS FORWARD.

I THINK IT'S VERY HIGH LEVEL, AND I THINK IT'S A VERY BROAD STATEMENT.

I THINK THE NEXT CHALLENGE FOR GROUND AND SOLUTIONS NETWORK AND STAFF IS JUST TRYING TO FIND SOME OF THOSE THINGS, RIGHT? WHAT IS THE PUBLIC INVESTMENT THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT? ARE WE TALKING ABOUT STREETS AND SIDEWALKS AND, AND SEWER AND UTILITIES? ARE WE TALKING ABOUT, YOU KNOW, LARGE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT? SO, SO WHAT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT IN TERMS OF INVESTMENT? WHAT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT IN TERMS OF DISPLACEMENT? THERE'S DIRECT DISPLACEMENT AND INDIRECT DISPLACEMENT, AND THERE'S A VARIETY OF OTHER FACTORS, UM, BESIDES JUST ONE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT OR ONE INVESTMENT THAT, THAT CAN LEAD TO SOME OF THOSE PRESSURES.

AND LIKE, UH, I PREVIOUSLY STATED TO COUNCILMAN COURAGE.

YOU KNOW, SOME OF THOSE MAY BE THINGS THAT REQUIRE LEGISLATIVE ACTION, UM, MAYBE CHANGING THE WAY APPRAISALS ARE DONE, THE WAY HOMESTEAD EXEMPTIONS ARE DONE, UM, THINGS LIKE THAT.

SO, SO THEY'LL BE EXPLORING ALL OF THAT, AND WE HOPE TO COME BACK TO THIS COUNCIL WITH A LITTLE BIT MORE DEFINITION, UH, SINCE THEY JUST RECENTLY SELECTED THAT, UM, TO BE ABLE TO KIND OF EXPLAIN WHAT THOSE DEFINITIONS OF THOSE THINGS ARE.

AND CERTAINLY IF THERE ARE LEGAL REQUIREMENTS FOR ZONING OR PLATTING OR THINGS LIKE THAT, UH, YOU KNOW, WE DON'T WANNA BE IN VIOLATION OF THOSE.

SO WE'LL BE WORKING VERY CLOSELY WITH OUR CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE TO MAKE SURE WHATEVER STRATEGY THAT WE'RE PROPOSING IS, IS LEGAL IN, IN ALIGNMENT WITH, UH, WITH WHATEVER LAWS THAT ARE IN PLACE.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

AND, AND THE SAME THING WHEN IT COMES TO, UH, ON SLIDE NUMBER 12, REVIEW HOUSING INCENTIVES, INCLUDING AN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT INCENTIVE POLICY.

I DON'T KNOW IF THAT MEANS SINGLE FAMILY.

I DON'T KNOW IF THAT MEANS, SORRY, THEY'RE DOING THE YARD.

SO THAT'S WHY WE HAVE THE BACKGROUND NOISE.

UM, I DON'T KNOW IF THAT MEANS, UH, SINGLE FAMILY OR MULTI-FAMILY, WHAT WE'VE BEEN DOING OR, OR WHAT HAVE YOU.

AND THEN, UH, FINALLY ONE OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS, OR AS WELL TWO THINGS AS THIS IS BEING WORKSHOPPED.

ARE THE PEOPLE IN THE WORKSHOP, JUST THOSE INDIVIDUALS IN THAT LIST THAT YOU PRESENTED AT THE BEGINNING? OR DO WE HAVE, YOU KNOW, THE, UM, BUILDERS, THE COMMUNITY ADVOCATES, ET CETERA, ALL TOGETHER WORKSHOPPING THESE ISSUES TOGETHER? OR IS IT ONE GROUP IN ONE GROUP AND THEN ONE GROUP IN ANOTHER, AND THEN IT'S YOUR JOB AS STAFF TO BRING THEM ALL TOGETHER? SO FOR THE FOUR ONE HOME INITIATIVE, UH, THE TWO POLICIES THAT THEY WILL BE SELECTING, UM, YOU KNOW, THERE HAS BEEN A PRETTY, UH, PRETTY SUBSTANTIAL PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT PROCESS.

UH, AND THEN ONCE THE POLICIES ARE SELECTED, THEY WILL GO THROUGH ADDITIONAL PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT.

SO YES, COUNCILWOMAN, WE WILL BE BRINGING TO THE FOLD.

UH, OUR BUILDERS ARE, UH, YOU KNOW, UM, UH, REPRESENTATIVES, UH, FROM DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY, ALSO IMPACTED COMMUNITY.

SO WE'RE WANNA MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE ALL AT THE TABLE AS WE MOVE THIS FORWARD.

UH, I THINK IS THE, THE SHORT ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION.

AND THEN FOR THE STRATEGIC HOUSING IMPLEMENTATION PLAN, WE ARE GONNA HAVE, UH, EACH FORUM KIND OF WORK ON SOME OF THOSE STRATEGIES, THOSE DRAFT STRATEGIES THAT THEY'RE DOING, AND THEN EACH OTHER FORUM WILL BE ABLE TO COMMENT ON IT.

UH, AND THEN THERE WILL BE A PRETTY ROBUST PUBLIC INPUT PROCESS AS WELL.

SO WE'LL BE GOING TO THIS COMMITTEE, HOUSING COMMISSION, UH, THE HOUSING TRUST, SAHA, UH, AND THEN WE WILL ALSO MAKE THE ENTIRE SHIP DOCUMENT BEFORE IT GOES TO COUNCIL AVAILABLE FOR PUBLIC COMMENT.

SO THERE'LL BE PLENTY OF OPPORTUNITIES FOR, FOR EVERYBODY TO COME TO THE TABLE, UM, AND, AND, AND COMMENT ON EACH OF THESE POLICIES BEFORE THEY, THEY COME BACK BEFORE COUNCIL.

OKAY, THANK YOU.

BECAUSE I THINK AT THE BEGINNING, AT THE END OF ALL OF THIS, WE ALL HAVE TO WORK TOGETHER.

WE HAVE TO HAVE PRIVATE SECTOR BROUGHT INTO THIS OR SUPPORTIVE OF THIS.

WE HAVE TO HAVE OUR NONPROFIT SECTOR SUPPORTIVE OF THIS AND THEN OUR COMMUNITY SUPPORTIVE OF THIS IF WE REALLY WANT TO MAKE THOSE STRIDES, UM, TOGETHER TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYONE DOES HAVE A HOME.

SO WE ALL NEED TO BE TOGETHER AND HAVING THESE CONVERSATIONS, 'CAUSE ONE CANNOT DO IT WITHOUT THE OTHER.

THOSE ARE MY COMMENTS, CHAIR.

COUNCIL MEMBER RA, COUNCIL MEMBER ANDREW SULLIVAN.

THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR.

UM, ONE OF THE QUESTIONS I HAVE UNDER THE

[01:40:01]

EVICTION DIVERSION AND PREVENTION, UM, A LOT OF THE COMMUNITY THINKS THAT IT'S A GREAT PROGRAM IS JUST THAT THEY'RE RECEIVING THE INFORMATION TOO LATE.

SO IS THERE A CONVERSATION THAT IS BEING HAD, UM, THAT CAN HAVE THIS CONVERSATION WHEN THEY'RE IN THE PROCESS OF LEASING AN APARTMENT OR LEASING A HOME TO LET THEM KNOW THAT THE T R L A IS THERE, THAT THE, UM, RESOURCES FOR EMERGENCY HOUSING ARE THERE THAT CAN BE DONE UPFRONT, OR A MAGNET THAT CAN BE MADE TO PROVIDE AT THE TIME THAT THEY'RE ACTUALLY SIGNING A LEASE AGREEMENT TO GIVE THEM THESE RESOURCES UPFRONT INSTEAD OF WAITING FOR ANY EVICTION TO ACTUALLY HAPPEN? I THINK THAT'S A FANTASTIC SUGGESTION.

COUNCILWOMAN.

UM, TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, WE, WE'VE BEEN WORKING VERY CLOSELY WITH THE JP COURTS, UH, THROUGH THE COURSE, UH, OF THE PANDEMIC.

AND I THINK YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH ALL THE THINGS WE'VE BEEN DOING.

UM, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO BE AS PROACTIVE AS POSSIBLE, BUT I THINK YOUR SUGGESTION IS A GREAT ONE.

AND SO THAT'S SOMETHING THE SAN ANTONIO APARTMENT ASSOCIATION IS PART OF THE SHIP, UH, THAT WE CAN WORKSHOP WITH THEM AS A STRATEGY TO ADDRESS THAT.

UH, I WILL SAY THAT NOTICE OF TENANTS RIGHTS IS ALSO SOMETHING THAT THIS COUNCIL ADOPTED.

SO WHEN YOU GET A NOTICE TO VACATE BEFORE AN EVICTION, UH, YOU SHOULD BE GIVEN ALL THE CITY RESOURCES INCLUDING, UH, YOU KNOW, ACCESS TO, TO THE, UH, THE CITY OF EMERGENCY HOUSING ASSISTANCE PROGRAM.

AND, AND SO, UH, I GUESS TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE CAN EXPLORE AND MAKE SURE THAT'S INCLUDED IN THE STRATEGY.

AND I DUNNO, SARAH, YOU WANNA ADD ANYTHING ELSE? YEAH, I DO WANNA JUST JUMP IN BECAUSE COUNCILWOMAN, IT IS A GREAT SUGGESTION AND IT'S ONE THAT, UH, SOME OF THE RESIDENTS IN THE RESIDENTS AND COMMUNITY FORUM RAISED TOO.

SO IT IS SOMETHING THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, WE'RE WALKING THROUGH OUR, OUR POLICY TEMPLATE, UM, WE SHOULD BE INCLUDING IN THE SHIP GOING FORWARD.

SO THANK YOU FOR LIFTING IT UP HERE AS WELL.

OKAY, AWESOME.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

AND THEN UNDER THE DEMOLITION DIVERSION PROGRAM, IS THAT THE DEMOLITION VERSUS DECONSTRUCTION OR IS THAT WHERE THAT CONVERSATION IS BEING HAD NOW OR NO? WELL, I THINK RIGHT NOW THE, THE DEMOLITION DIVERSION PROGRAM MEANT WE'RE WORKING REALLY CLOSELY WITH D S D.

THOSE ARE THE HOMES, UH, THAT MAY BE SCHEDULED FOR DEMOLITION DUE TO, YOU KNOW, NEGLECT OR UN UNSAFE, UH, LIVING CONDITIONS.

UH, AND SO WE WANNA HAVE A PROCESS, UH, UH, IN THAT PROCESS, I GUESS, UH, AND ADDITIONAL STEPS IN REVIEW TO SEE IF THAT HOUSING CAN BE PRESERVED.

UH, I THINK THE DECONSTRUCTION IS JUST A WAY OF, UH, UH, REBUILDING A HOME.

UH, SO IF YOU ARE REBUILDING IT, ARE, ARE YOU SAVING THE MATERIALS, UH, THAT ARE VALUABLE, UM, BECAUSE THEY, YOU KNOW, THEY DON'T HAVE THE SAME KIND OF FLUID ANYMORE.

SO I THINK THEY'RE, THEY'RE NOT NECESSARILY, UM, EXCLUSIVE OF EACH OTHER, BUT THEY'RE NOT NECESSARILY RELATED TO WHAT THIS STRATEGY'S TRYING TO ADDRESS, WHICH IS DI DIVERTING DEMOLITIONS THAT COULD BE USED FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING.

I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAD A, A DIFFERENCE THERE BECAUSE I KNOW THAT IT WAS A CONVERSATION AND THEN EVERYTHING HAPPENED WITH THE PANDEMIC AND THAT CONVERSATION KIND OF STOPPED AND SO DIDN'T KNOW IF IT HAD PICKED BACK UP YET.

AND THEN UNDER THE SINGLE FAMILY PRESERVATION AND FUNDING, UM, IS THAT LOOKING AT MORE OF A DETAILED WEATHERIZATION, NOT JUST INSTALLATION, BUT HOW TO DO, UH, PIPING OR WHAT IF, IF NEEDED PIPING NEEDS TO BE REFURBISHED? WHAT THE COST EFFECTIVENESS OF IT IS? IS THAT WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT WITHIN THE PRESERVATION AND FUNDING OF SINGLE FAMILY HOUSING? YEAH, THERE'S A COUPLE THINGS WE'RE LOOKING AT AND I THINK, UH, I'LL SAY WE'VE GOT TWO THINGS THAT I THINK THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT THAT TOUCH ON WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

SO WE ALSO, UH, COORDINATING WITH THE OFFICE OF SUSTAINABILITY, WHO'S PART OF, UH, WHO'S PART OF THE SHIP, UH, AT WHAT OUR DESIGN STANDARDS ARE, RIGHT? ARE, ARE WE, ARE WE DESIGNING FOR, UH, YOU KNOW, GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE? ARE WE MAKING SURE THAT THERE'S, UM, YOU KNOW, GREEN ROOFS? DO WE MAKE SURE THAT THAT EVERYTHING IS, IS, UH, ADEQUATELY OR, OR FUTURE PROOF FOR, FOR INSULATION AND PIPING? UM, SO WE'RE LOOKING AT THAT STUFF, UH, WHICH I THINK ADDRESSES THAT.

AND I THINK THIS STRATEGY SPECIFICALLY IS LOOKING AT MAKING SURE THAT WE HAVE, UH, SOME REVOLVING FUNDING SO THAT WE CAN EXPAND THE PRESERVATION OF SINGLE FAMILY HOMES SO THAT THERE, THERE, UH, AGAIN, NOT EXCLUSIVE OF EACH OTHER AND THEY COULD COMPLIMENT EACH OTHER A LOT.

UM, SO WHEN WE ARE REHABBING, ARE WE MAKING SURE THAT IT'S BOTH TOING STANDARD, UH, OR FUTURE STANDARD FOR, FOR CLIMATE CHANGE? UH, AND THEN, UH, DO WE HAVE THE PLANNING TO BE ABLE TO EXPAND OUR ATION PROGRAM? SO IT'S LOOKING AT TWO THINGS.

AND, UH, I'LL, I'LL BRING THAT UP TO THAT STAKEHOLDER FORM.

AND THEN MY LAST QUESTION THAT I HAVE IS WITH THE, UM, OVER A THOUSAND SITE-BASED SUPPORTIVE HOUSING, ARE WE LOOKING AT THE SECOND CHANCE OR THE FORMERLY INCARCERATED TO BE ABLE TO BE A PART OF THIS INITIATIVE, NOT JUST THE HOMELESS POPULATION, UM, BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT COME OUT OF THE, UH, PRISON SYSTEM, THEY CAN'T FIND HOUSING, THEY DON'T QUALIFY, UM, BECAUSE OF THEIR BACKGROUNDS.

SO IS THIS ANOTHER AREA THAT WE CAN LOOK AT THROUGH THE SUPPORTIVE HOUSING PROCESS? WE CAN DEFINITELY LOOK AT THAT COUNCILWOMAN

[01:45:01]

SO IF THEY'RE NOT HAVING THOSE DISCUSSIONS, UH, THEY WILL BE CONVINCING HOW THEY CAN INCORPORATE 'EM.

AND THEN ALSO SAY WE ALSO HAVE OUR, OUR PLACE PROGRAM COORDINATION WITH SARAH, UH, WHERE WE LOOK TO, UH, PROVIDE SOME, SOME FUNDING TO LANDLORDS, UM, TO SEE IF THEY'D BE WILLING TO, UH, RENT TO WHAT PEOPLE MAY, MAY DEEM AS HIGH RISK INDIVIDUALS.

SO IF THEY BE INDIVIDUALS WITH CRIMINAL RECORD OR PREVIOUS EVICTIONS.

UM, AND SO THAT'S A PROGRAM WE ALSO HAVE THAT OPERATES RIGHT NOW.

WELL THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE WORK THAT YOU'RE DOING AND I LIKE THE DIRECTION THIS IS GOING AND, AND THOSE ARE ALL OF MY QUESTIONS, MADAM CHAIR.
