V. Discussion Items
a. Check in: All members successfully connected to WebEx for the Task Force’s first
virtual meeting. Every member was healthy and adjusting to the Governor’s
Shelter in Place order. Consultant Clapp-Smith reviewed the Task Force charge
and strategies. She stated that the Task Force has completed significant work in
the areas of “what” to be address and “why” this issues need to be address, and is
now working towards “how.”
b. Debrief on Task Force Interviews: Consultant Clapp-Smith reported that she
interviewed everyone aside from Member Siekman. The members interviewed
agreed that the purpose of the Task Force was to determine the best mechanisms
for implementing Chapter 4 of the Comprehensive Plan. The Task Force will look
at both advancing affordable housing goals and the city housing goals in general.
Member Siekman requested that the Consultant add that the Task Force needs to
address sensitivities around population growth in addition to density. Member
Koon added that the strategy should include language regarding flexibility. To
avoid the issue of bias, as expressed by Member Kitui, the final report needs to
balance specificity with flexibility. It should leave room nimbly responding to
evolving opportunities and circumstances.
Clapp-Smith also reviewed the Members current understanding of their role. The
Consultant concluded with what the members believe success will look like.
c. Comprehensive Plan Items that the Task Force Could Address: Consultant Clapp-
Smith presented a spreadsheet she prepared that organized Chapter 4 of the
Comprehensive Plan by goal with a section on implementation of each goal. She
then reorganized grouping the goals within implementation categories. Task Force
Member can give feedback on this document by adding comments within a cell
using the Google Docs comment function.
As homework the Task Force will add their work on key issues into the
Comprehensive Plan table. The Key Issues are derived from the Comp Plan so
there is an inherent connection between the implementation table and the Key
Issues. Once that is complete it will become apparent on where there are gaps.
d. Housing Implementation Plan Examples – Tabled
e. Questions for City Council - Tabled
