V. Discussion Items
a. Draft Report: The Task Force Member reviewed and commented on a restructuring of
the previously approved Goals. Some Goals were combined so there are now four major
goal categories with more detail outlined within each Goal. The new Goals are as follows:
1) Promote lifecycle housing
2) Promote diverse housing stock through relaxing land use regulations: There will be
additional word-smithing on the title.
3) Reduce building costs: This will be amended to a more streamlined approach to
approving housing that could result in reduced costs. The focus is not on the cost but
on the process.
4) Encourage sustainable design and technology in all new housing: This concept may be
incorporated into the three Goals stated above.
b. Community Engagement: The Task Force discussed the final decision by leadership
regarding the role of the Task Force vis-à-vis community engagement. The basic
conclusion is that the Task Force by its creation is community engagement. The Task
Force will not be sponsoring a survey. If the City Council deems more community
engagement is warranted to move policy recommendations forward, they can determine
the method and scope.
VI. Adjournment
The meeting concluded at approximately 9:00 AM.
