1. Housing Program & Project Status Report (Laura Stokes,
Housing/Redevelopment Coordinator).
Ms. Stokes summarized the status of the programs providing detail to
Committee Member Eubanks for clarity. Committee Member Solt requested
information on status and successfulness of program participants after they
leave the programs. After discussing the best way to report this information,
given the subjective assessment of "successfulness," it was recommended to
report annually on the status of past program participants, using a similar
format to the existing quarterly report. The reports will include time
participating within the program, household makeup, current city of residence,
current income bracket, rent/mortgage status, employment status, and
comments about the household's goals, successes, and drawbacks.

Page 2
Ms. Stokes provided a summary of the sites identified within the Housing
Element which could support affordable housing and barriers that resulted
from the City's ballot Measure X. Staff then detailed the project "Groves at
Williams Ranch" including the tasks accomplished and reports to complete.
The Committee questioned why the Groves project was not moving forward.
Ms. Stokes related that there were several stockpiles of dirt onsite, and staff
was postponed from completing several tests until the stockpiling is removed.
The committee members related that they would take it upon themselves to
individually contact different councilmembers or management to encourage
the removal of the stockpiling and permit the Groves project to continue.
Unanimously approved to receive and file. 4-0
F. OLD BUSINESS
1. Continued Consideration of Supportive Housing Facilities Municipal Code
Amendment (CA 11-01) (Laura Stokes, Housing/Redevelopment
Coordinator).
Ms. Stokes provided a summary of the staff report, specifically identifying the
changes to the draft Code Amendment since the Committee reviewed it in
September, and relating that the City Attorney determined that "with respect
to transitional housing and supportive housing, S132 specifies only that such
uses must be considered a residential use of property, subject only to those
restrictions that apply to the other residential dwellings of the same type in the
same zone. Unlike emergency shelters, SB2 does not permit a city to enact
objective development and management standards for these two types of
uses." Therefore, the development standards were specified to be for only for
emergency shelters.
The Committee requested changes for clarity to section "B" and "C,"
specifically ensuring that both sections clarified that the "manager is to be on
site during all hours of operations". Additionally, the committee had a
discussion regarding adding additional regulations and determined that the
Committees draft should be as un restrictive as possible and leave further
restrictions to be implemented by the Planning Commission and the City
Council.
The Committee unanimously approved to forward the draft code amendment
to the Planning Commission with recommendation of approval 4-0.

v. Conversions/Request for Proposals (Dave Solt & Nancy Campman)
a. Continued Consideration of Conversion Program Guideline
Development
Ms. Stokes provided a summary of the staff report, specifically
identifying the changes to the draft Conversion Programs since the
Committee reviewed them in September.
The Committee discussed the different proposals, and agreed that
the fist program was suitable and approved of it with the changes
provided. However, the Committee requested program two and
three be brought back, and requested the sub-committee meet to
discuss the RFP formed for program two, ensure mortgages are
included as well as rents when referencing affordability
requirement, and to finalize the RFP for program three, determining
if it will be for both rental and ownership, or just rental.
Committee Member Jones identified one grammatical error being in
the Attachment two in which the "I" within the sentence,
`rehabilitate, and covenant existing residential units I."

after the sub-committee provides edits, 4-0.
