Subcommittee leads provided brief reports on recent work.

Communications work includes social media planning and coordination with the Park Record for a story explaining the difference between 'affordable' and 'attainable' housing.
The revenue-generation and land-acquisition subcommittee discussed long-term mechanisms to finance housing authority programs, including using rezone language, PIDs and infrastructure strategies to reserve units or land for the authority as part of approvals. Members suggested drafting sample language for the authority's strategic plan to enable negotiations with developers. "If we've got access to the site... we could enter into an agreement with as part of the approval process or a rezone to provide that the county will issue a PID and... certain number of units will be reserved for the housing authority," a council designee said.
