City adopts anti‑displacement resolution, directs manager to set milestones and integrate into strategic plan
Summary
Council adopted a resolution committing to a comprehensive, data‑driven approach to minimize displacement; the resolution directs the city manager to identify vulnerable areas, assess tools and incorporate measurable milestones, expected outcomes and reporting into the organization's strategic plan.
Council adopted a resolution directing the city manager to develop a comprehensive framework to identify neighborhoods especially sensitive to displacement and to design operational and policy responses that will be integrated into the city's strategic plan.
Staff said the resolution grew from community engagement with the Legacy Neighborhood Coalition and from the city's 2024 affordable housing plan and missing‑middle study. The resolution acknowledges historical harms (redlining, urban renewal), prioritizes data‑driven identification of vulnerable areas, and calls for a cross‑departmental operational assessment to align tools, resources and new policy actions. Several community speakers backed the resolution’s intent but urged clearer measurable milestones and a near‑term timeline for accountability; council directed staff to include measurable milestones, expected outcomes and regular reporting within the strategic planning process that will follow in coming months.
