WORKSHOP SESSION
1. AFFORDABLE HOUSING COMMITTEE REPORT
Staff briefed Council on this issue by saying the
problem of housing affordability, whether it be the cost to
purchase housing or the rental cost for standard housing, is
increasing. Two years ago the Community Council, Inc.,
assembled a task force to look at this problem. The
Affordable Housing Committee has completed it's report and
have asked to have the opportunity to present that report to
the City council.
Mr. Bob Davies and Mr. Ray Dugan gave a short video
presentation to Council on the homeless and affordable
housing. Mr. Dugan stated that the group would entertain
suggestions from the Council regarding the housing issue and
would be glad to make Council aware of some of the housing
resources that are available.
Councilman McAllister stated that he felt a good
solution to the problem was to improve the economic
capabilities of people that would allow them to hold
profitable enough jobs to be able to afford housing.
