It was noted the Planning Commission had established an ad -hoc subcommittee and <br />met on two occasions. A majority of this initial work was provided and reviewed necessary <br />demographic and market conditions to frame the development of the remainder of the policy. <br />The subcommittee deliverables included an Interim Policy Statement to help guide requests that <br />may come to the City before final adoption of the Housing Assistance Policy, a Framework, and <br />Housing Product Priority List that would be adjusted with each project and reviewed annually. <br />Development Services Manager Gladhill indicated the next two items are to develop Minimum <br />Thresholds and a Scoring Matrix. He asked if the Council supports this direction. <br />At the request of Mayor Strommen, Development Services Manager Gladhill reviewed the <br />membership of this ad -hoc subcommittee, noting it does not contain a Council Member at this <br />time. <br />Councilmember Riley stated he supports having an Interim Policy. <br />Mayor Strommen stated this is headed in a good direction and she likes having something in <br />place. She stated it will be interesting to see how some of the elements, such as the Housing <br />Product Priorities, will be adjusted over time. <br />Informational; no action required. <br />3.
