[bouldercouncilhotline] Hotline: Housing Task Force

Sender: Becker, KC

In January, 2010, Council made affordable housing one of our top 3 priorities. The city manager convened a Housing Task Force made up of diverse representative to make recommendations on housing issues the city faces. It's now been about a year that that task force has been meeting. I believe the Housing and Human Services Department plans to present something to council this summer. 

I was hoping we could do a quick, informal check-in about the where the Task Force is in the process and what they are focusing on. I know that most of the last year has been spent getting everyone on the task force on the same page and up to speed. I've heard concerns that there may not be enough time to meet the city's goal of a report to council by this summer. That is fine by me, but other council members may want to weigh in. Also, I'd appreciate knowing where the task force plans to focus its efforts going forward, and what issues have been brought up as concern to them. I don't want to be surprised, come this summer, about what specifically they ended up working on and only then realize we didn't achieve with the task force what he had hoped for. 

Thanks,
