Housing authority debates how to count the council’s 1,500-unit goal and scope of influence
Summary
Staff and board debated how to define and track the council-adopted 1,500-unit goal—recommended approach: count newly entitled units after the council set the goal, include deed-restricted conversions and units created through inclusionary requirements, exclude emergency rental assistance—and to track progress on a public dashboard.
The board reviewed the authority’s strategic plan and focused discussion on implementation details for a council-adopted goal of 1,500 housing units. Staff recommended counting newly entitled units after the council set the goal and tracking deed-restricted units and conversions; staff said units entitled prior to the goal’s effective date would not be counted.
Members asked whether municipal participation should be limited to jurisdictions that sign interlocal agreements; staff recommended including municipalities in eastern Summit County that agree via interlocal agreement and noted Park City would likely be excluded. The group also discussed reporting cadence and presentation: staff suggested a thermometer-style dashboard that can be updated monthly and included in annual reporting. Board members emphasized the need for clarity in the strategic plan on what is being counted and on targets by tenure (rental vs. ownership) for reporting purposes.
The board also discussed whether conversions of market-rate units to deed-restricted affordable units should count; staff said those conversions would be counted as new affordable units when deed restrictions are recorded. The board did not adopt a final counting policy but asked staff to present a clear definition and a tracking dashboard for council review.
