HAB asks staff to compile legislation and schedule items to allow board input on pending bills
Summary
Board members asked the department to assemble a list of pending bills affecting housing, and Director Mitchell recommended early engagement with Councilmembers so nascent policy ideas can be shared with the HAB before bills advance.
Members requested that staff compile reference materials and a list of pending legislation that could affect affordable housing permitting and policy. Member Leilani Pulmano explicitly asked for a list of current legislation the HAB could use to advise the County Council and departments.
Director Richard E. Mitchell supported the approach and suggested the HAB include a standing agenda item on pending bills so members can offer comment while bills are still in early stages. Members also discussed scheduling future meetings—favoring Thursdays or Fridays to accommodate department staff—and Deputy Corporation Counsel Chris Nunokawa agreed to confirm rules for participation by non-voting ex officio members and their designees.
