YOU SEE I HAVE IT MY MY MY CLIFF NOTES BUT I DIDN'T HAVE THAT SO DO YOU THINK SO WHAT? I'M IN HERE ALL RIGHT. I'LL SEE YOU GUYS SOON. THE ARTS CREATIVE ITEM NUMBER THREE IS A STUDY ITEM. IT'S OUR ANNUAL HOUSING REPORT AND WE HAVE THE DEBUT PRESENTATION WITH THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF PLANNER LINCOLN JEROME AND LITTLE MISS LINCOLN IS PULLING HER PRESENTATION. I JUST WANTED TO INTRODUCE TO HER MICHELLE IS OUR NEWEST PLANNER AND STAFF. SHE STARTED IN JANUARY AND A LONG RANGE PLANNER AND SHARES HER TIME WITH THE HOUSING AND REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY WHENEVER BIG PROJECTS EARLY ON HAS BEEN THE HOUSING REPORT WHICH I'LL TALK ABOUT TONIGHT GREAT AS WHEN YOU'RE READY THE FLOOR IS YOURS THANK YOU CHAIR ROHMAN AND COMMISSIONERS I'M HAPPY TO BE HERE TONIGHT TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT THE ANNUAL HOUSING RORT NEAR AND DEAR TO MY HEART AS IT'S BEEN A BIG PROJECT SINCE I'VE STARTED IT THE CITY AND I'M EXCITED TO TELL YOU WHAT COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT HAS BEEN DOING FOR HOUSING AND HOW BLOOMINGTON IS DOING FOR 2022. SO TONIGHT I WILL BE REVIEWING DEMOGRAPHICS I WILL BE TALKING ABOUT OUR EXISTING HOUSING AND AFFORDABILITY. I'LL TALK WHAT COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DID IN 2022 AND I WILL ALSO BE TALKING ABOUT WHAT WE WILL BE DOING IN 2023 AND 2024. AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE GRAPHIC ON SCREEN BLOOMINGTON IS CONTINUING TO GROW. WE FOR 2021 WHICH IS WHAT THE CENSUS DATA GOES TO WE WERE AT 9436 PEOPLE SECURING IS THE FOURTH LARGEST CITY IN MINNESOTA WHICH IS A TITLE WE HAVE HELD FOR A VERY LONG TIME AND CONTINUE THE METROPOLITAN COUNCIL FORECASTS THE CITY OF BLOOMINGTON TO EXCEED 90,000 BY 2030 AND CONTINUE TO GROW INTO 2040 RIGHT. OUR AVERAGE HOUSEHOLD SIDE IS IS 2.38 PEOPLE OUR HOUSEHOLDS WITH CHILDREN IS 25.3%. THIS IS ACTUALLY LOWER THE REGION THE REGION HAS 30 1.10. 3% HOUSES WITH CHILDREN. THIS IS LIKELY BECAUSE WE HAVE NEARLY 20% OF OUR RESIDENTS ARE AGED 65 OR OVER. ADDITIONALLY WE SKEW OLDER OUR MEDIAN AGE IS 42.2 ONLY A DINER IN MINNETONKA ARE OLDER IN COMPARISON TO OUR PEERS CITIES FOR OUR DEMOGRAPHICS AS YOU CAN SEE HERE WE ARE 68% WHITE NON-HISPANIC A WE ARE SORRY ABOUT THAT AND WE ARE 30.2% BIPOC POPULATION. THIS IS HIGHER THAN THE REGION OUR METROPOLITAN STATISTICAL AREA WHICH INCLUDES BLOOMINGTON, MINNEAPOLIS SAINT PAUL THE LARGER COUNTY AREA IS 26% FOR EXISTING HOUSING. 50% OF OUR HOUSING IS SINGLE FAMILY HOMES AND. THEN ADDITIONALLY THAT WE HAVE MULTIFAMILY CONDOS TOWNHOUSES AND MISCELLANEOUS RESIDENTIAL MAKE UP THE REST OF OUR HOUSING. I WANT TO HIGHLIGHT THAT MISCELLANEOUS RESIDENTIAL MEANS DUPLEXES TRIPLEXES THINGS EDU'S OR CONVERTED SPACES THAT ARE NOW RESIDENTIAL UNITS. SO THAT'S WHAT MISCELLANEOUS HOUSING OR RESIDENTIAL IS REPRESENTED ON THIS GRAPH AND MULTIFAMILY IS GREATER THAN THREE UNITS. AS YOU CAN SEE WE HAD AN INCREASE A NOTICEABLE INCREASE IN SINGLE FAMILY SINGLE RENTAL LICENSES IN THE 2013 2014 AND REMAINED FAIRLY STEADY IN THAT NUMBER SINCE. AND THEN IF YOU LOOK AT NEW LICENSES WHICH IS ON THE BOTTOM ARE 21 OR 2021 NUMBER TWO 2022 NUMBER HAS A GREAT INCREASE. THIS IS BECAUSE ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH MADE A CODE AMENDMENT IN SPRING OF 2022 WHICH INCLUDED NOW INCLUDED GROUP HOMES IN THE LICENSING PROGRAM . SO THERE WAS A BIG JUMP IN LICENSING IS DUE TO A CODE CHANGE NECESSARILY A TREND INDICATING MORE RENTAL LICENSES THAT YEAR FOR OWNING OWNERSHIP AND RENTING. WE HAVE A CITYWIDE EXCUSE ME CITYWIDE HAVE 67% OF OUR POPULATION IN A HE OWNERSH AND 33% IN RENTAL HOUSING. AS YOU CAN SEE, THERE'S SOME GREAT DISPARITY BETWEEN WHITE, HISPANIC AND WHITE NON-HISPANIC AND BIPOC IN THE CITY AT THE LOWEST HOMEOWNER SHIP WE HAVE BLACK OR AFRICAN-AMERICAN RESIDENTS AT 30.2% WITH RENT AND WITH A MAJORITY OF THAT POPULATION EVEN IN RENTAL HOUSING. THIS IS LOWER THAN THE REGION . EXCUSE ME. I APOLOGIZE. I'M LOOKING AT THIS NUMBER AS I'VE BEEN WITH IT FOREVER. THAT NUMBER IS ACTUALLY 27.1%. I APOLOGIZE. SO IT'S ACTUALLY LOWER THAN THE REGION AND THAT BLACK POPULATIONS IN THE REGION ARE AT 2020 8% OVERALL. WE HAVE SLIGHTLY LESS OWNERSHIP HOMEOWNERSHIP IN THE REGION OR THAN THE REGION PARDON IN OUR MSA THE BLOOMINGTON ST PAUL MINNEAPOLIS SAINT PAUL MINNEAPOLIS TRI-CITY AREA HOMEOWNERSHIP IS AT 70.8%. ALSO I HAVE IT LISTED HERE THAT HOMEOWNER VACANCY IS LESS THAN A PERCENT AND RENTER VACANCY IS LESS THAN 5%. SO WE'RE LOOKING AT 95% HOUSING OCCUPIED. THIS ACTUALLY CREATES A VERY TIT HOUSING MARKE BECAUSE IT'S VERY DIFFICULT FOR WHO ARE CURRENTLY IN HOUSING IN BLOOMINGTON TO FIND OTHER HOUSING TO MEET THEIR NEEDS AND ANY ANY NEW RESIDENTS WHO COME INTO CITY WILL HAVE VERY LITTLE STOCK IN ORDER TO CHOOSE FROM THIS ALSO CAN PUT UPWARD PRESSURES ON COSTS BECAUSE A SCARCITY FOR INCOME EMPLOYMENT AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE LARGER BOULDER NUMBER IS BLOOMINGTON. WE HAVE TRAILED BEHIND A LITTLE BIT IN HENNEPIN COUNTY AND THE REGION. THAT'S NOT REALLY. AN IMPORTANT TREND TO NOTICE IS THAT WE HAVE ALSO GROWN THE REGION AND THE COUNTY HAVE GROWN. SO GAP HAS MADE FAIRLY STEADY AND COULD FOR MANY DIFFERENT FACTORS CONSIDERING A COUNTY CONSIDERING THAT IT INCLUDES SO MANY DIFFERENT CITIES WITH THEIR OWN DIFFERENT CONSIDERATIONS FOR INCOME. SO IT'S IMPORTANT NOTICE IS THAT WE HAVE GROWN SINCE 2010 WHICH IS GOOD FOR US. ALSO UNEMPLOYMENT PEAKED IN 2020. I'M ASSUMING THERE WAS REALLY BIG GOING ON IN THAT YEAR. SO WE HAD A SPIKE IN BUT SINCE THEN OUR UNEMPLOYMENT NUMBERS HAVE REALLY COME DOWN. WE'RE DOWN TO 2.7% WHICH IS EVEN LOWER THAN WE WERE IN 2019 PRIOR TO THE COVID 19 PANDEMIC. SO DOING WELL THERE. ALSO ON THE SCREEN I HAVE PUT THE REGIONAL AREA MEDIAN INCOME. THIS IS DETERMINED BY HUD. EVERY YEAR THEY UPDATE NUMRS ANALYZE THE METROPOLITAN STATISTICAL AREA AND DETERMINE WHAT DIFFERENT MEDIAN MEDIAN IN THE AREA MEDIAN INCOME IS. AND THEN IT'S BROKEN DOWN AND 80%, 60%, 50% AND 30%. THESE NUMBERS ARE USED BY THE METROPOLITAN COUNCIL AND THE FORMULA PROVIDED BY THE BY HUD IN ORDER TO DETERMINE AFFORDABILITY LIMITS. SO THESE ARE VERY NUMBERS EVERY YEAR IN DETERMINING PUBLIC ASSISTANCE AND A DECENT METRICN ORDER TO COMRE FOR AFFORDABILITY. THESE ARE THE 2022 NUMBERS ON THE SCREEN. 2023 NUMBERS HAVE BEEN RELEASED SO YOU MAY SEE DIFFERENT IF YOU SEE THE 2023 THEY CHANGE EVERY YEAR. SO THE ONES YOU'RE LOOKING OUR 2022 SO IN LOOKING AT HOUSING COST IN THE CITY HOUSING COST BURDEN MEANS THAT THERE IS OR IS CALCULATED BASEDN INCOM AND T COST OF EITHER THEIR RENT OR MORTGAGE THE APPLICABLE TAXES. A HOUSEHOLD IS CONSIDERED HOUSING COST BURDEN IF THEY SPEND MORE THAN 30% OF THEIR INCOME ON THIS NUMBER THEY ARE CONSIDERED SEVERELY HOUSING COST BURDEN. IF THEY SPEND 50% OR MORE ON THEIR HOUSING IN THE CITY 20 A LITTLE OVER 20% OF OWNERS ARE HOUSING BURDEN AND 45.9% OF OUR RENTERS HOUSING COSTS BURDEN WHEN BREAKING IT DOWN BY INCOME LEVEL WE SEE GREAT HOUSING COST BURDEN IN LESS THAN THOUSAND DOLLARS A YEAR INCOMES AND 24 OR 20 TO 35000 A YEAR INCOMES IF YOU ARE MAKING THAT AMOUNT OF MONEY AND LIVE IN BLOOMINGTON YOU ARE MORE LIKELY TO BE HOUSING COST BURDEN. YOU SEE THAT THERE IS A LOT OF STILL SIGNIFICANT OF HOUSING COSTS BURDEN IN THE 35000 TO 50000 BAND. 7570 4% AND 43.4 74% FOR RENTERS AND 44.3% FOR OWNERS. IT IS HEARTENING TO LEAST SEE THOSE NUMBERS COME DOWN FROM INCOME BAND BUT ALSO DOES INDICATE WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE NEXT LEVEL THAT YOU MUST MORE THAN $74,999 TO NOT BE HOUSING COST BURDEN IN BLOOMINGTON WHEN BREAKING THAT DOWN A LITTLE BIT MORE TO KIND OF LOOK AT THE NUMBERS AFFORDABILITY ON THE SCREEN HERE HAVE THE FAMILY INCOME LEVELS FOR FOR OWNERSHIP. AND WHAT THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING PRICE BE AT EACH OF THESE LEVELS I'M LOOKING AT LESS THAN 100%. AM I IN ORDER TO REALLY TALK AFFORDABILITY WHICH IS HOW THE NATIONAL HUD AND OTHER AGENCIES LOOK AT LESS THAN MARKET THE AFFORDABLE HOME PRICE DETERMINED BY THE FORMULAS IS $355,600 FOR 80% AMI WHICH IS THE TOP OF THAT NUMBER? TOP OF THE ARMS THAT WE LOOK AT A MEDIAN HOME VALUE FOR A SINGLE FAMILY RIDENTIAL HOM IN BLOOMINGTON IS $355,900 IN 2022. THIS MEANS WHEN LOOKING AT THE AFFORDABLE HOME PRICE DETERMINED BY THE FORMULAS AND THE FORMULA ON THE MEDIAN HOME IN 2022 AT LEAST 50% OF THE HOUSING IN BLOOMINGTON IS UNAFFORDABLE AT THOSE AT INCOME HOUSEHOLDS INCOME $89,400. THAT ALSO MEANS FOR OTHER AFFORDABILITY OR OTHER AMI LEVELS 60, 50 AND 30%. THERE IS NO THE AT LEAST 50% OF SINGLE FAMILY IN TH CITY ARE ALS OF ARE ALSO UNAFFORDABLE FOR THEM AS WELL. WE CAN ONLY SAY AT LEAST BECAUSE WE DON'T CALCULATE OF AFFORDABLE CITY AT FURTHER BANDS BUT WE CAN AT LEAST SAY THAT WITH MEDIAN VALUE IN MEDIAN ASSESSED FOR OTHER HOUSING TYPES LIKE CONDOMINIUMS TOWNHOMES, TWO FAMILIES AND ZERO LOT LINES WE CAN SEE THAT FOR 80% AMI THEY CANNOT AFFORD IT TO FAMILY THEY CANNOT AFFORD A SINGLE FAMILY AND THEN FOR THOSE WHO ARE 60% AMI4% AMI 30% AMI THEY ARE LESS LIKELY TO AFFORD ANY HOUSING TYPE IN BLOOMINGTON AT LEAST 50% IS UNAFFORDABLE FOR THE AT LEAST 30% AMI FOR RENTING IN AFFORDABILITY. IF WE LOOK AT OUR 2021 AVERAGE RENTS WE HAVE OUR RENT AT $1,268 FOR 2022. AT AVERAGE RENT IS $1,359. THAT'S A 7.1% INCREASE. THIS IS CREATED THROUGH COSTAR AND MARKET ADVISORS NUMBERS. WITH THOSE REPORTS NOT ALL UNITS REPORT RENTS FOR ALL UNIT SIZES. SO THIS IS BASED ON THE NUMBERS THAT WE DO HAVE FOR NATURALLY OCCURRING NATURALLY OCCURRING AFFORDABLE HOUSING OR NOAH. WE USE THEAME REPTS. THE TOTAL UNITS THAT WE ARE ABLE TO ANALYZE ARE A LITTLE OVER ALMOST NINE AND A HALF THOUSAND UNITS. THE TOTAL NUMBER OF UNITS THAT ARE CONSIDERED NOA OR 59.1%. AND THEN WE HAVE GREATER NATURALLY OCCURRING AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN STUDIOS ONE BEDROOMS AND TWO BEDROOMS. BUT THAT AFFORDABILITY THE NEXT THAT NO ONE NUMBER DROPS TO 11.3% WHEN YOU GET INTO LARGER UNITS IT'S EVEN SMALLER FOR FOUR BEDROOMS AND ABOVE AS WELL. NOW DESCRIBE WHAT NATURALLY OCCURRING AFFORDABLE HOUSING IS? IT MEANS HOUSING THAT IS AFFORDABLE WITH NO SUBSIDY FOR NEW DEVELOPMENT IN 2022. THERE WAS A TOTAL UNIT PRODUCTION OF 1527 UNITS 23% OF THAT WAS AFFORDABLE AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE TABLE BELOW 30% WERE NINE NINE UNITS AT 30%. 72 UNITS OF 50%. 270 UNITS AT 60%. WE WE WERE ABLE TO GET 31 UNITS AT 70 PERCENT. AND SO THE TOTAL BELOW MARKET RATE UNITS PRODUCED FOR 351. NOW THOSE NUMBERS ARE ADDED TO OUR TOTAL TOTAL AFFORDABLE UNITS SINCE 2020 AND OUR 2030 GOALS. NOW THESE GOALS ARE WERE DEVELOD FROM THE 24 HOUSING POLICY FROM METROPOLITAN COUNCIL AND FROM THAT A NEEDS ALLOCATION IS ASSESSED AND THAT'S WHERE THESE NUMBERS COME. AS YOU CAN SEE WE HAVE ACHIEVED OUR GOALS IN 60% ABOVE 60% AMI WITH 500 AND WELL I'M NOT GOING TO BE ABLE DO THE MATH FOR 87 PLUS 50 WHERE THE AMOUNT OF UNITS THAT WE HAVE FOR THAT AND OUR GOAL IS 151. ALSO WE ARE NEARINGUR 50% AMI GOAL AHEAD OF SCHEDULE IN SEVEN YEARS LEFT. WE STILL HAVE A LOT OF WORK TO DO AND OUR 30% AMI WE HAVE ONLY ACHIEVED 42 UNITS SO FAR . WE HAVE ACHIEVED OUR TOTAL NEW UNIT PRODUCTION. WE'VE EXCEEDED THAT BY 68 UNITS. SO ARE MEETING OUR NEEDS ALLOCATION FOR TOTAL UNITS. THIS IS A MAP SHOWS RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT THAT WAS COMPLETED IN 2022. AS YOU CAN SEE FROM WEST TO EAST WE'VE HAD A SPREAD OF UNITS AVAILABLE 467 OPENED AND 190 393 OF THOSE WERE AFFORDABLE PROJECTS THAT ARE IN THE PIPELINE FOR 2022 AN ADDITIAL THOUSAND AITTLE OV A THOUSAND UNITS ARE IN THE PIPELINE. 189 OF THEM ARE AFFORDABLE . SO IN COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT WE'VE HAD A LOT OF WORK THAT WE'VE DONE RELATED TO HOUSING AND TO SUPPORT HOUSING AND SUPPORT AFFORDABLE AND HEALTHY HOUSING. SO I'M PLANNING AND ZONING WE'VE DONE CODE AMENDMENTS AND HOUSING STUDIES AND MAJOR DEVELOPMENT REVIEWS AS I'M SURE YOU'VE ALL BEEN A PART OF . ONE OF OUR PLANNING ACHIEVEMENTS HAVE BEEN ALLOWING HOUSING AS A CONDITIONAL USE IN THE TRANSITIONAL INDUSTRIAL ZONING DISTRICT. WE DID TOWNHOME STANDARDS REVIEW A MULTIFAMILY PARKING REVIEW AN ORDINANCE. WE'VE UPDATED OUR 80 USE STANDARDS IN ORDER TO PROVIDE HOUSING OPTIONS WHICH WILL BE IMPORTANT FOR RESIDENTS AS MOVE THROUGH THEIR LIFE AS THEY AS NEW CHANGES HAPPEN AND AS THEY MAY NEED DIFFERENT HOUSING NEEDS IN BUILDING INSPECTIONS. THEY HAVE DONE A LOT OF WORK IN MAKING SURE THAT THE TIME OF SALE WHICH IS IN ITS WHICH IS A 25 YEAR OLD PROGRAM WAS MOVED HOUSE. SO NOW THEY'RE BUILDING INSPECTIONS IN BLOOMINGTON FULLY RUNS THAT PROGRAM AND THEN AS PART OF THEIR INVOLVEMENT IN E PERMITTING PERMITTING PROCESS THEY HAVE OBSERVE ADD THAT BLOOMINGTON RESIDENTS HAVE INVESTED OVER $21 MILLION IN HOME AND VALUATION AND FOR REMODELS AND RENOVATIONS ON EXISTING SINGLE FAMILY HOMES. THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT BECAUSE IT MEANS OUR RESIDENTS ARE IMPROVING OUR HOUSING STOCK AS IT AGES AND KEEPING IT IN THE HOUSING SUPPLY FOR WHENEVER IT WILL BE READY TO BE SOLD OR MOVED TO DIFFERENT OWNERS OR BEING ADAPTED TO THE OWNERS WHO ALREADY LIVED THERE FOR WHATEVER NEEDS THEY MAY HAVE HAD GREAT STRIDES IN ITS HOUSING PROGRAMS FOR HOUSING CHOICE VOUCHERS. THEY'VE ASSISTED 100 NEW HOUSEHOLDS IN VASH FOSTER YOUTH INDEPENDENCE, AN EMERGENCY AND PORTABILITY HOUSING AND THEY'VE ASSISTED 537 HOUSEHOLDS WITH TENANT FOOD VOUCHERS IN RENTAL HOMES FOR FUTE HOMEBUYER FOR HOEHOLDS PURCHAS HOMES AND TO MORE MAYBE MAY PURCHASE HOMES AT A LATER DATE AND ASSISTED RENTAL TO HOUSEHOLDS SUCCESSFULLY EXITED THE PROGRAM AND TO HOUSEHOLDS PURCHASED HOMES IN THE HOME IMPROVEMENT LOAN PROGRAM. 24 LOANS WERE APPROVED TOTALING $631,000. 46 LOANS WERE SATISFIED AMOUNTING TO ALMOST $1,000,000 AND A TAL AMOUNT OF RAYMENTS AND HELP LOANS WERE APPROVED TOTALING ALMOST $30,000. THIS IS A LITTLE BIT OF A TRANSITION BUT THERE WAS A ASSESSMENT DONE FOR HRA THAT INCLUDED PORT AUTHORITY. AS A RESULT OF THE REASSESSMENT ASSESSMENT THE PORT AUTHORITY WILL NOW MANAGE DEVELOPMENT CITYWIDE. THIS INCLUDES MULTIFAMILY PROPERTIES OF 20 UNITS OR MORE WHICH ALIGNS WITH THE OPPORTUNITY HOUSING ORDINANCE THAT THEY NOW MANAGE. THEY WILL WORK WITH THE APPROPRIATE RATE AND BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS WHEN PROJECTS PURSUE THE VARIOUS FUNDING SOURCES THAT ARE NOW KIND OF UNDER THEIR PURVIEW AS OWNING THAT ORDINANCE AND DEVELOPMENT CITYWIDE ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH. THEY HAD CODE AMENDMENTS AND PROCEDURAL. I MENTIONED A LITTLE BIT OF THAT BEFORE THERE A SPRING CODE AMENDMENT THAT INCLUDED AND GROUP HOMES AND RENTAL LICENSING PROGRAM. THEYLSO MADE CODE ENDMENTS TO DEFINITIONS TO REDUCE DISPARITIES AND DISCRIMINATION IN HOUSING RENTAL HOUSING. SO THE DEFINITIONS AND FAMILY AND UNDER RELATED PERSONS OCCUPANCY WERE DELETED. THEY NOW FOLLOW THE INTERNATIONAL PROPERTY MAINTENANCE IN ORDER TO DETERMINE OCCUPANCY LIMITS AND AMOUNTS. THEY REPEALED THE CRIME FREE REQUIREMENTS. THEY AND THEY ALSO UPDATED RENTAL PROCEDURES AND FEES ASSESSING ASSESS NEEDS TO ASSESS 100% OF OUR RESIDENTS OF OUR PROPERTIES EVERY FIVE YEARS AS DETERMINED BY STATE STATUTE. SO IN 2022 THEY WERE THEY SUCCEEDED ASSESSING 20% OF THE PROPERTIES IN BLOOMINGTON WHICH IS A GREAT ACHIEVEMENT IN IT'S NOT EASY LOOKING AT OVER 42,000 RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES AND THEY ALSO CONTINUE TO TRACK LONG TERM MARKET CHANGES. SO THEY'RE KEEP APPRIZED OF THE DATA AND MAKE SURE THEY'RE CHECKING SOURCES AND ENSURING THAT THEY'RE FOLLOWING STATE STATUTE AND KEEPING DATABASES UPDATED AND WE'RE READY FOR 2023 2024. SO WHAT'S NEXT? WE'RE RESEARCH AND STUDY FOR CODE AMENDMENTS. THIS INCLUDES TERM RENTALS, SINGLE ROOM OCCUPANCY, MISSING MIDDLE HOUSING AND SINGLE AND FAMILY TO FAMILIES STANDARDS WHICH AS NOW I MEAN BREAKING UP DATA I'M SURE YOU ALL THAT HAS PASSED. ALSO WE'RE CONTINUING TO WORK ON THE HOUSING CONTINUUM BUT HAS MEANING OF PEOPLE HAVE DIFFERENT NEEDS SO COULD BE THOSE WHO ARE SUFFERING HOMELESSNESS THOUGH ONTO THE UP TO THOSE WHO ARE ENTERING THE MARKET HOUSING MARKET THE FULL RATE HOUSING MARKET. SO THEY CONTINUE. WE WILL CONTINUE TO WORK ON HOUSING STABILITY PATHWAYS TO HOMEOWNERSHIP HOUSING CREATION AND HOUSING PRESERVATION WHICH INCLUDES THINGS LIKE ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND HOME IMPROVEMENTS. ADDITIONALLY THERE IS UPDATING THEIR SOFTWARE AND BECOMING AS PAPERLESS ON AND MANY THINGS ALTHOUGH PAPER APPLICATIONS AND THINGS ARE STILL AVAILABLE TO WHO NEED THEM. AND THEN THE PORTER TOWARD AUTHORITY TEAM IS GROWING. THANK YOU FOR LISTENING TO MY REPORT AND AM HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE. THANK. WELL DONE. THIS IS A STUDY AND SO ANY DISCUSSION QUESTIONS, THOUGHTS FEEDBACK. ONE THING THAT STRUCK ME WAS AND I RECOGNIZE THAT SOME OF THE NUMBERS IN THE ONES THEY WERE 2223 IT WAS THE SLIDE THAT TALKED ABOUT AM I AND THEN BLOOMINGTON'S INCOME GROWTH OVER TIME AND IT BUT IT STRUCK ME IS THAT WE OFTEN TALK ABOUT AM I RIGHT AND THAT'S AT A MEASURE THAT WE USE AND I THINK YOU HAD IT THERE. OH SORRY ABOUT TWO MORE. ONE MORE ON ONE MORE. YOU GO. THERE WE GO. TOO MANY. THERE WE GO. SO YEAH, WE ALWAYS OUR BENCHMARK IS YOU KNOW, AGAIN, I RECOGNIZE THAT WE'RE OFF BY A YEAR ON THESE BUT THAT'S THEY'RE STILL CLOSE THAT YOU KNOW THE ARMY 118 BUT THE CITY OF BLOOMINGTON ACTUALLY PROBABLY FALLS CLOSER TO 70%. SO WHEN WE THINK ABOUT THAT IT IS IT'S KIND OF INTERESTING THAT ESSENTIALLY ARMY IF YOU WILL, IS 70% OF THE METRO AND IF I'M READING THAT RATE IS THAT OH YEAH THANK YOU CHAIR ROHMAN AND COMMISSIONERS I THINK THAT THE THESE NUMBERS ARE CALCULATED FROM HUD BASED ON DATA AND SO THE AREA MEDIAN INCOME THAT THIS IS THE MIDDLE NUMBER FOR THOSE WHO ARE 50% BELOW AND 50% ABOVE. SO I THINK IT'S A IT'S A VALID COMPARISON MAKE AND TO THINK ABOUT. SO IT'S JUST AND I DON'T HAVE AN ANSWER TO THAT THAT JUST IS THAT WAS INTERESTING THAT WE WE THINK ABOUT THAT THE REALITY IS FOR OUR COMMUNITY IT'S LOWER STILL AND THIS IS HOUSEHOLD INCOME BASED ON A FAMILY OF FOUR AND THIS IS KIND OF WHAT THE HUD DETERMINES AS WHEN AT 100% AMI AND YOU'RE MAKING $118,200 YOU CAN SUPPORT COMFORTABLY A FAMILY OF FOUR IN THE REGION SO ANYWAYS QUESTIONS DISCUSSION THAT'S COMMISSIONER ABDI JUST A COMMENT I DON'T HAVE A QUESTION JUST I JUST LEARNED A LOT JUST THROUGH READING AND LISTENING TO YOUR PRESENTATION THINK YOU'VE DONE AN AMAZING JOB AND WELCOME TO THE CITY. I THINK IT'S BEEN LONG OVERDUE . I THINK WITH MY BACKGROUND IN PLANNING I FEEL LIKE YOU'VE DONE AN AMAZING JOB FOR FOLKS WHO WOULD WANT TO WATCH THIS BACK HOME TO UNDERSTAND HOW WE'RE DOING WHERE WE'RE HEADED. SO I REALLY APPRECIATE THE WORK THAT YOU'VE DONE AND THE WORK THAT THE STAFF HAS DONE IN GENERAL TO ACHIEVE THE HOUSING GOALS THAT WE'VE HAD. I GUESS THE GENERAL QUESTION IF WE ARE SEVEN YEARS AWAY FROM 2030 AND WE WERE NOT MEETING OUR GOALS LIKE BY FAR WHAT WOULD BE THE CONSEQUENCES TO TO THE CITY IN GENERAL? THANK YOU, JEREMY ROHMAN AND COMMISSIONER ABDI. SO AS PART OF THE NEEDED ALLOCATION THAT THE MET COUNCIL PROVIDES, THERE'S NO PUNITIVE METRICS OR CONSEQUENCES BAKED INTO THAT. I THINK THE IDEA IS THAT THEY WANT TO GIVE ENOUGH FLEXIBILITY FOR THE CITIES TO ADDRESS HOUSING WHICH HAS SO MANY FACTORS AND MANY CITIES AND AREAS IN THE NATION SUFFERING A HOUSING CRISIS WHICH IS VERY DIFFICULT TO ADDRESS SO REALLY IT'S THESE NUMBERS ARE I WOULD SAY NOT SO MUCH ASPIRATIONAL BUT ARE DEFINITELY ENERGIZING TO GET TO WORK TOWARDS THEM. IF WE DON'T MEET THOSE GOALS THE CONSEQUENCES ARE PROBABLY MORE REAL THAT WE WOULD SEE IN THE CITY AS IN WE WOULD HAVE INCREASED HOMELESSNESS AND PEOPLE WHO CAN'T AFFORD THEIR HOUSING MORE SO SOMETHING FROM THE MET COUNCIL SORRY THE OTHER QUESTION I JUST COME TO MIND AS YOU MENTIONED THE TERM HOMELESSNE. I THINK DURING COVID WE'VE SEENOME OF OUR HELS GETTING CONRTED TO TEMPORARY . I DON'T KW IF WE HAD ANY NUERS TO SHAREHETHER OR T THOSE HOTELS DID STAY TO PROVIDE HSINGND WHEER OR NOTHERE WERE RL COEQUENCES AT LEAST LIK ACTUAL NUMBERS I D'T KNOW HOW Y WOULD COUN IN THE COMMUTY BECAUSE THAT'S A GUP THAT CONSTTLY MOVES, YOU KNOW, SEASON WIDE SEASONS AND YOU KNOW, AVAILABILITY AND YOU KNOW, PLACEMENTS. DO WE HAVE A NUMBERS UNLIKE HOMELESSNESS IN BLOOMINGTON? AND THE OTHER PART IS THERE WITH OUR HOTELS DURING COVID, HAS THOSE RESULTED IN HOUSING ? THANK YOU CHAIR AND COMMISSIONER. WITH HOMELESSNESS USUALLY THERE A CENSUS DONE EVERY YEAR AT A POINT IN TIME AND GO OUT AND THEY TRY TO CENSUS THE HOMELESS POPULATION IN A SPECIFIC GEOGRAPHY SO THAT CENSUS IS DONE YEARLY AS FAR AS THE DATA ON THE HOUSING WITH THE HOTEL CONVERSION. I'D LIKE TO PASS IT OVER TO THE PLANNING MANAGER TO IF HE HAS ANY INSIGHTS. YEAH. JEROME TRUMAN COMMISSIONER ABDI DURING THE PANDEMIC THERE A FAIR AMOUNT OF TEMPORARY USE OF HOTELS FOR PEOPLE EXPERIENCING SOME KIND OF HOUSING CRISIS SITUATIONS. I DON'T HAVE THE EXACT NUMBERS WHAT THAT WAS AT THE PEAK IN THE HOTELS BUT MY UNDERSTANDING IS PRESENTLY THERE'S NO THERE MAY BE SPORADIC YOU KNOW, INDIVIDUALS IN HOTEL ROOMS GOING TO PAID BY PUBLIC ENTITIES HERE AND THERE. NO BLOCK OF ROOMS ARE RERVED PRESENTLYOR THAT. AND IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN THE NUMBER OUR PERCENTAGE FOR THE HOMELESS POPULATION IN BLOOMINGTON I CAN LOOK INTO THAT NUMBER AND. SHARE IT WITH YOU. THANK YOU. I APPRECIATE THAT. I DIDN'T WANT TO PUT GUYS ON THE SPOT BUT I KIND OF IT JUST CAME TO ME AS YOU PRESENTED. SO I APPRECIATE THIS. THANK YOU. AND THAT'S A IT'S A IT'S A TOPIC THAT HAS A LOT OF LAYERS TO IT, YOU KNOW, AND THEN WE HAVE AGENCIES IN TOWN THAT ARE DOING WORK WITH UNHOUSED COMMUNITIES BUT SOMETIMES YEAH, THEY NEED IN THE NEXT ROUND BUT THE UNHOUSED SITUATION CAN BE BECAUSE OF INCOME AND AFFORDABILITY. THEY CAN ALSO BE BECAUSE OF ANY NUMBER OF OTHER FACTORS SEPARATE FROM AFFORDABILITY AND THAT WAS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WAS INTERESTING TOO IS THAT AND WE KNOW THIS IS HAVING CHALLENGE WE'VE TRIED TO DO THINGS LIKE THE OPPORTUNITY HOUSING ORDINANCE BUT THAT 30% NUMBER IS VERY HARD TO CRACK. I THINK BUT COMMISSIONER GOODELL EXPANSIVE CHAIR IS LINCOLN YOU SAID WE'RE OLD. WHY DO YOU WHY DO YOU THINK THAT IS? THANK YOU. QUESTIONER GOOD CHAIR. THERE COULD BE ANY NUMBER OF FACTORS THAT GO INTO WHAT CONTRIBUTE TO A COMMUNITY SKEWING OLDER? IT COULD BE THAT THERE IS A STRONG SENSE OF PLACE SO PEOPLE END UP STAYING HERE A LONG TIME. THERE'S ALSO OTHER OF BROADER FACTORS THAT COULD BE GOING ON IN THE WORLD PEOPLE NOT BE ABLE TO AFFORD TO MOVE AND THE EQUITY IN THEIR HOMES KIND OF KEEPS THEM IN PLACE NOT JUST LOVING THE HOME, ALSO NOT NECESSARILY WANTING TO LEAVE IT AND THEN SOMETIMES WHEN THEY DOWNSIZE THEY STILL WANT TO STAY, WANT TO AGE IN PLACE AND THAT COULD BEING IN THEIR HOME OR IN THE COMMUNITY GENERAL IN THE NEW DEVELOPMENT THAT HAS COME UP THAT SENIOR HOUSING IS A BIG PART IS AS NOTICEABLE AMOUNT OF A TYPE OF HOUSING THAT IS BEING DEVELOPED AND SO THAT ALSO ALLOWS PEOPLE TO SAY THEY DOWNSIZE. THERE'S KIND OF LIKE A LOT OF DIFFERENT THAT COULD KEEP THE OF THE POPULATION SKEWING OLDER BUT IT ALSO COULD BE RELATED TO AFFORDABILITY WHERE THOSE WHO ARE YOUNGER OR FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN CAN'T MOVE INTO BLOOMINGTON. AND SO IF THERE ISN'T A NEW POPULATION FROM DIFFERENT AGE RANGES MOVING THE CITY THEN THE NUMBER SKEWS THAT IN THAT DIRECTION. BUT THERE ARE MANY FACTORS SO YOU CAN HIT A BROAD VARIABLES FROM YOUR PERSPECTIVE PROFESSIONALLY IS THAT OKAY THAT WERE OLD DO YOU WISH WE WERE YOUNGER? WHAT IS WHAT'S GOOD FOR US CITY THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION COMMISSIONER COQ10 PROFESSIONAL FOR MY PROFESSIONAL OPINION A LOT OF TIMES WHEN YOU LOOK AT A COMMUNITY YOU KIND OF WANT A GOOD BALANCE OF THOSE WHO ARE WORKING WHO ARE NOT WORKING THOSE HER COMMUNITY COMMITTING CAN CONTRIBUTING TO THE ECONOMY AND ALSO THE SENSE OF COMMUNITY AND THAT COULD MEAN A LARGE VARIETY OF AGE RANGES. SO IT'S NOT BAD THAT COMMUNITY MIGHT BE SKEWING OLDER. THAT COULD JUST MEAN IT'S A PLACE THAT PEOPLE REALLY WANT TO STAY AND REALLY WANT TO AGE AND AGING IS VERY VULNERABLE AND. WANTING TO BE HERE SHOWS GOOD THINGS ABOUT BLOOMINGTON AND IT ALSO COULD MEAN THAT IF PEOPLE WANT TO STAY HERE WE CAN HELP THEM DO THAT WHEN THEY EXPRESS THEIR NEEDS BUT ALSO YOU WANT OTHER AGE GROUPS IN ORDER TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE COMMUNITY NEW IDEAS, NEW ENERGY TO HELP OTHER TAKES OF RIGHT VARIETY OF OF AGE GROUPS. BUT I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANYTHING ALARMING ABOUT THE BLOOMINGTON NUMBER NECESSARY EARLY THE MEDIAN AGE OF 42 AND THERE'S STILL A LOT OF ENERGY IN THE COMMUNITY. SO I THINK THAT IT'S GOOD TO KIND OF UNDERSTAND THE FACTORS THAT GO INTO IT, MAKE SURE WE'RE HELPING PEOPLE AT DIFFERENT AGE GROUPS AND WORKING TOWARDS THAT. BUT I DON'T THINK IT'S ALARMING. DO YOU KNOW IT'S OKAY IF YOU DON'T HAVE HANDY BUT THE MEDIAN AGE OF OUR STATE IS NOT THAT FAR OFF THAT I DON'T THINK IT'S IT WAS JUST IN THE NEWS MAYBE IN THE LAST WEEK SO I DON'T HAVE THE NUMBER FOR THE STATE. I DO HAVE THE MEDIAN AGE FOR THE REGION. FOR THE REGION IT'S 37.4 AND THAT GAP US AND THE REGION HAS INCREASED IN THE LAST FEW YEARS. IT'S MINOT SO IT'S NOT A RAPID INCREASING IN THAT GAP. WE ARE A LITTLE OLDER THAN THE REGION. COMMISSIONER GOLTZMAN THANKS CHAIR. JUST TO GIVE YOU A PERSONAL STORY OF BASED ON YOUR YOUR QUESTION ABOUT WHY ARE WE OLDER SO MY FAMILY AND I MOVED INTO OUR HOME IN 2009. IT WAS BUILT IN THE LATE SIXTIES WHICH HAD MOST OF THE HOUSING STOCK IS 5060S MAYBE SOME SEVENTIES I WOULD SAY FOUR OUT OF THE FIVE HOMES WITHIN MY BLOCK WERE ORIGINAL HOMEOWNERS THAT BUILT THE HOUSE IN THE LATE SIXTIES AND THEY WANTED AGE IN PLACE. THEY LOVED THEIR COMMUNITY, THEY LOVED THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD . BUT I THINK WITH OUR COMMUNITY THE AGE OF THE STOCK A LOT OF THOSE HOME OWNERS ARE EITHER ORIGINAL HOMEOWNERS OR SECOND HOMEOWNERS THAT HAVE BEEN THERE FOR 30 OR 40 YEARS AND HAVE NOT OR HAVE CHOSEN STAY IN THEIR HOME. SO JUST AS EXAMPLE HERE, ONE QUESTION THAT I HAD AROUND AND THIS IS A GREAT SLIDE TO TALK TO IS HAVE WE LOOKED AT THE NUMBER OF THAT WORK IN BLOOMINGTON VERSUS THE NUMBER PEOPLE THAT LIVE IN BLOOMINGTON? AND THE REASON I ASKED THAT QUESTION IS WHEN WE LOOK AT AFFORDABILITY AND AND EMPLOYMENT, DO PEOPLE COME TO BLOOMINGTON JUST TO LEAVE AND LIVE SOMEWHERE ELSE OR DO WE SEE A LOT OF PEOPLE LIVING AND WORKING HERE IN BLOOMINGTON AND HOW DOES THAT PLAY INTO AFFORDABILITY. THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER GOLTZMAN CHAIR ROHMAN SO THAT A NUMBER THAT WE CAN LOOK UP SO IF YOU'RE CURIOUS ABOUT KIND OF WHAT THE EXACT DISTRIBUTION IS OF THOSE WHO COMMUTE OUTSIDE OF THE CITY THE CENSUS DOES HAVE INSIGHTS INTO THAT SO THAT IS DATA THAT WE CAN FIND FOR THEIR CURRENT OF THE AMERICAN COMMUNITY SURVEY WHICH IS WHAT MOST A MAJORITY OF THE DATA THAT I SHOWED YOU COMES FROM AND THAT'S SOMETHING REALLY IMPORTANT TO CONSIDER AS WELL EVEN BASED ON MAYBE LIKE USING SOME STATE NUMBERS. SO THE STATE HAS SAID THAT IF YOU HAVE A LARGE YOU'RE MEETING YOUR MINIMUM WAGE IS $10.59 AN HOUR BASED ON THE AVERAGE IN THE CITY THEY WOULD NEED TO WORK 93 HOURS A WEEK IN ORDER TO AFFORD THE AVERAGE RENT. NOW THE AVERAGE RENT IS A NUMBER THAT DOES INCLUDE VERY HIGH AS WELL AS NATURALLY OCCURRING AFFORDABLE HOUSING. SO THERE IS SOME YOU KNOW, VARIABILITY IN THAT NUMBER BUT EVEN SO IT'S NOT MUCH DIFFERENT THAN OUR MEDIAN RENT IS $1,312 SO BASED THAT WE'RE STILL LOOKING AT UPWARDS OF 100 HOURS FOR SOMEONE WORKING MINIMUM WAGE TO AFFORD THE AVERAGE RENT THE CITY. SO IF WE HAVE YOU CAN LOOK AT OTHER THINGS LIKE HOW MANY SERVICE JOBS DO WE HAVE, HOW LIKELY ARE THEY TO PAY MINIMUM WAGE AND KIND OF EXTRAPOLATE THERE ON IF PEOPLE MAKING MINIMUM WAGE CAN LIVE HERE. YEAH. JERRAM AND COMMISSIONER GOLTZMAN I CAN FOLLOW UP A LITTLE BIT ON SO BLOOMINGTON HAS TO JOBS WITHIN BLOOMINGTON FOR EVERY BLOOMINGTON RESIDENT AND THE WORKFORCE KIND OF A 2 TO 1 RATIO THERE AND THEN OF BLOOMINGTON RESIDENTS WHO ARE WORKING ONE OUT OF EVERY FOUR WORKS IN BLOOMINGTON SO THREE WOULD COMMUTE OUTSIDE OF BLOOMINGTON SO THEN IF YOU THINK ABOUT THE NUMBER OF JOBS IN BLOOMINGTON, ONE OUT OF EVERY EIGHT WOULD BE OCCUPIED BY A BLOOMINGTON AND THEN SEVEN OUT OF EIGHT WOULD BE PEOPLE COMMUTING INTO SO ROUGH NUMBERS I THINK YOU DO HAVE A FOLLOW UP QUESTION IF I MAY THINKING ABOUT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HOUSING AND I THINK ABOUT AFFORDABILITY AND THE REASON I ASKED THIS QUESTION AROUND PEOPLE, YOU KNOW, LEAVING BLOOMINGTON IS YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY AFFORDABILITY OF HOUSING IS REALLY IMPORTANT BUT THEN ALSO TRANSPORTATION COSTS AS WELL. SO THINKING YOU KNOW, IF WE COULD GET MORE PEOPLE WHO CAN BE IN AFFORDABLE HOUSING HERE IN BLOOMINGTON, THEY'RE PAYING LESS FOR THEIR CAR IF THEY CAN AFFORD A CAR TRANSPORTATION THROUGH, YOU KNOW, BUS SYSTEM OR LIGHT RAIL OR EVEN GAS IN GENERAL. SO THINKING ABOUT THAT COMES INTO PLAY AS WELL AND WE THINK ABOUT AFFORDABILITY AND IF WE CAN KEEP PEOPLE HERE IN BLOOMINGTON SOMEBODY WHO LIVES AND WORKS IN BLOOMINGTON, IT'S THE BEST THING EVER. SO HOPEFULLY WE CAN DO MORE OF THAT OTHER OBSERVATION THIS QUESTION I COOKED IN A POINT OUT THAT JOHANNA LIVES AND WORKS IN BLOOMINGTON SO. IT IS THE BEST SHE IS THE ONE ABOUT TWO WELL THREE OH MY GOSH WE ARE HERE WE'RE OVER REPRESENTATIVE ANY OTHER DISCUSSION AND OBSERVATION THIS IS VERY HELPFUL. THANK YOU AND JUST KEEP GOING TO KEEP THIS FRESH IN OUR MIND AS WE WILL BE TACKLING THIS ISSUE AGAIN SOON. THANK YOU, ROHMAN AND COMMISSIONER IS THE REPORT THE FULL REPORT WILL BE COMING OUT SHORTLY AS SOON AS THAT IS AVAILABLE. IT WOULD BE DISTRIBUTED WIDELY . IT WILL INCLUDE A LOT MORE DATA. SO IF YOU'RE REALLY FOR MORE DATA IT WILL BE AVAILABLE SOON AS. WELL AS SOME ADDITIONAL ANALYSIS FOR YOU TO REFERENCE . THANK YOU. THANK YOU. OUR ITEM IS A ROUTINE POLICY AND ISSUE UPDATE AND WILL BEGIN WITH THE PLANNING MANAGER JEROME AND COMMISSIONERS LOOKING FORWARD TO THE MEETING THAT'S JUNE 22ND. WE HAVE FOUR ITEMS ON THAT AGENDA.

YEAH AND THEN I DID WANT TO SHARE UMHAT WAS THISRR WHE IS THERES SO DID WANT TO ONE ITEM FROM THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING ON MONDAY NIGHT UM THE CITY COUNCIL TALKED ABOUT SOME ADDITIONAL PROJECTS THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO HAVE ADDED TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION WORK PLAN AND. THEY WENT AHEAD AND DID ADD THOSE TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION WORK PLAN THE PROJECTS THEY ADDED INCLUDE AS ONE DISTRICT AMENDMENTS OR AS ONE REZONINGS AND THEN ENVIRONMENTAL STANDARDS REVIEW FOR LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL USES CITYWIDE ALL THREE OF THESE PROJECTS FLOWED OF THE PUBLIC HEARING DISCUSSION ON THE SINGLE FAMILY AND TWO FAMILY AMENDMENTS WHICH WERE ADOPTED TO MAKE ROOM FOR THOSE THREE NEW PROJECTS THEY DEFERRED TO PROJECTS THAT HAD BEEN IN WORK PLAN TO THE 2024 WORK PLAN, THE SULFUR DISTRICT PLAN UPDATE AND THE PICKUP PARKING PICKUP WINDOW STANDARDS BOTH OF WHICH WERE PREVIOUSLY ON YOUR WORK PLAN. SO JUST WANT TO HIGHLIGHT THOSE CHANGES JUST FOR CLARITY . FIRST ONE IS OUR VERY LARGE LOT RESIDENTIAL I'LL CORRECT JEROME AND THAT'S CORRECT BLOOMINGTON HAS THREE SINGLE FAMILY DISTRICTS ARE ONE APPLIES TO THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE CITY ARE AS ONE AS A LARGE LOT ZONING DISTRICT IT APPLIES TO ABOUT HUNDRED AND 20 PROPERTIES AND THEN THE FINAL DISTRICT R-1 A APPLIES TO I BELIEVE JUST SEVEN PROPERTIES THAT DO NOT HAVE SANITARY SEWER SERVICE OR THEIR AND SEPTIC SYSTEMS. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER ITEMS FOR POLICY ISSUE UPDATE. COMMISSIONER CAPTAIN. THANKS, MR. CHAIR. WE WERE ALERTED TO THIS CHANGE IN OUR OUR WORK PLAN FOR THE YEAR AND I WAS A LITTLE DISAPPOINTED THAT WE WEREN'T. THE CITY COUNCIL KIND OF DID THAT WITHOUT TALKING TO US AND GRANTED THEIR I BELIEVE THAT'S THEIR WILL TO DO THAT. BUT I CERTAINLY WISH THEY WOULD WOULD TALK TO US. THERE'S A COUPLE OF THINGS HERE. THE SOUTH OF DISTRICT PLAN HAS BEEN A HIGH PRIORITY ME FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS AND IT JUST SEEMS TO GETTING KICKED DOWN THE ROAD A LITTLE BIT AND WITH HOPEFULLY THE WORLD'S FAIR COMING TO US I THINK WE SHOULDN'T WAIT ON THAT. AND YEAH, I THINK, I WOULD JUST LIKE TO EXPRESS ON THE RECORD THAT IF THEY'RE GOING TO CHANGE OUR WORK PLAN THAT THEY SHOULD CONSULT TO US. THERE'S SIX OF PEOPLE SITTING UP HERE NOT INCLUDING ME THAT KNOW A LOT STUFF AND ARE VERY SMART AND CAN PROVIDE A LOT OF GOOD INPUT AND I VALUE EVERYONE ELSE'S OPINION GREATLY AND I THINK IT'S TO THE CITY'S BENEFIT TO HAVE OUR OPINION ON OUR WORK PLAN. AND SO I HOPE THAT IF THIS WERE TO COME UP AGAIN THAT THEY CONSULTS BORE MAKING THIS CHANGE ON THEIR OWN. I WOULD ECHO THAT FEEDBACK TO WHATEVER EXTENT YOU CAN SHARE THAT WITH THOSE WHO. MR.. ALBRECHT BUT I ALSO WANT TO ECHO THAT FEEDBACK AND THAT OUR S1 IS ONLY AFFECTING ABOUT 150 PROPERTIES AND WE'RE LOOKING AT A SIGNIFICANT OF PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN THE SOUTH LOOP AND HOPEFULLY WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE TO THE SOUTH LOOP. I THINK OUR IMPACT IS LOOKING AT THE DISTRICT UPDATE RATHER THAN THE 141 OF OUR PROPERTIES AND THE LARGE LOTS. THAT'S MY OPINION. THE OTHER ITEMS FOR THE POLICY AND ISSUE UPDATE. OKAY.
