Regional Housing Council votes to shift to in‑person meetings starting June 2026; agrees 4:30–6:00 p.m. at Atrium boardroom
Summary
The council approved process changes to add monthly work sessions (followed by a business meeting) and voted to hold in‑person meetings beginning June 2026, agreeing to a 4:30–6:00 p.m. window and to meet at the Atrium boardroom; staff will provide hybrid access for non‑presenting staff/advisory members as needed.
The Regional Housing Council voted to adopt recommended process improvements and to begin in‑person meetings in June 2026. The changes include a regular work‑session component separate from voting business to allow more time for review and deliberation, and an expectation that work‑session items will not be voted on the same night.
Council members discussed start and end times and agreed informally on a 4:30–6:00 p.m. meeting window for in‑person sessions; attendees identified the Atrium boardroom as the June meeting location. Staff said advisory‑board members and staff who are not presenting will be able to attend virtually after an initial in‑person period, and the council pledged to review access, rotation of meeting locations and hybrid options after the first months.
Why it matters: members said a work‑session + follow‑month business model would let elected officials and staff better prepare for funding decisions and allow the RHC to surface technical issues without forcing same‑day votes. The council agreed to test the in‑person format and to discuss rotation and accessibility (transit, travel time) at a future meeting.
Next steps: staff will schedule the in‑person start, publish meeting logistics, and circulate a poll for any special meetings (notably an early–mid May special meeting on ERP allocations).
