Board discusses building a county dashboard and adding short-term rental and tourism data to reflect local market pressures
Summary
Staff described plans to build a local, user-friendly affordable-housing dashboard (via Lightcast/eimpact) because state data are incomplete; members urged inclusion of short-term rental and tourism metrics and KPIs to track projects and public-facing progress.
Facilitator said the state's dashboard is "not all populated" for Summit County and proposed a county-specific dashboard to provide clearer, user-friendly KPIs on units by AMI, project status and short-term rental inventory. She named vendors and partners (Lightcast/eimpact) and said the local dashboard should include tourism and short-term rental counts because those distort supply and demand measures in a tourist economy.
Board members emphasized the value of public-facing project tracking to counter misinformation, help residents find information and provide accountability: one member said the dashboard should show both historical and pipeline data so the public can see projects that are "gonna happen" as well as current inventories. The group agreed to make the dashboard a priority for early staff work and to collect short-term rental data from county sources.
