Manager: Nob Hills annual report shows compliance with 20% affordability requirement; trustees discuss marketing units to recruits
Summary
Village Manager reported an annual compliance report from Nob Hills indicating the property meets the 20% affordable‑unit requirement in village code; trustees discussed marketing remaining units to municipal recruits and noted turnover in ownership and management.
Village Manager Mike Mills presented an annual report from the Nob Hills apartment complex during the Jan. 14 work session, saying the property provided a report showing it meets the village zoning requirement that 20% of units be designated affordable.
Mills said he redacted tenant names and provided unit‑level information to the village because the report contains residents' financial data. He told trustees the current owner and management have changed multiple times since the complex was built and that the current owner bought the property during the COVID period.
Trustees discussed whether the complex has actively marketed employee discounts for village staff, noting that while the owner expressed willingness to offer discounts to recruits and current employees — including firefighters and EMS personnel — there had been little evidence of active marketing to village employees. Mills said he would follow up with the property on marketing practices and that the village could encourage the owner to make units available to recruits as part of recruitment and retention strategies for public safety staff.
Trustees also asked whether the village could require other apartment complexes to submit similar annual reports; Mills said such reports are not currently required by code and that the village could request them but owners could decline.
