Accepted. (18-403) Recommendation to Amend the Inclusionary Housing Program Guidelines to (a) Modify Available Preference Points, Including Adding a Preference for Eligible Alameda Unified School District Employees; and (b) Revise Underwriting Standards; and Direct Staff to Prepare a Proposed Amendment to the City's Inclusionary Housing Ordinance to Clarify the Appeal Process. The Community Development Director gave a brief presentation. Mayor Spencer inquired how long Alameda Unified School District (AUSD) employees would receive preference points, to which the Community Development Director responded through 2050; stated the project area runs until 2046. Mayor Spencer inquired whether the points would be awarded once the money comes in or immediately; inquired whether the points are tied to receipt of money to ensure new units are being built. The Community Development Director responded in the affirmative; stated a recognized obligation schedule is done annually, which includes funding for affordable housing projects; the City has invoices from 2016 to present; the City has received funds for the past three years; the Housing Authority will be reimbursed for money that has been advanced prior to finalization of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), which was done by the School Board and Housing Authority in May. Mayor Spencer inquired how oversight of funds would occur, to which the Community Development Director responded through the MOU. Mayor Spencer inquired whether a formal report will be available to the public, to which the Community Development Director responded in the affirmative. Mayor Spencer stated many people in the City want affordable housing; she wants to ensure additional housing is being built to offset the preference point being given to AUSD employees. Stated that she opposes the allocation of 30%, which is a very big portion of a very limited supply; AUSD employees are being given an unfair advantage; questioned what would happen to the $30 million in funding if the MOU is not approved and why the funding was not originally directed to the Housing Authority; expressed concern over Regular Meeting Alameda City Council 3 July 10, 2018 | CityCouncil/2018-07-10.pdf |
