sentence or two, it talks about market rate housing, and it should be
below market rate.

00:01:19.740 --> 00:01:24.999
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): We'll fix that, thank you. Okay. Yeah. But
that's all. Otherwise, everything was good, so…
16
00:01:25.190 --> 00:01:43.449

00:02:02.475 --> 00:02:09.634

24
00:02:23.045 --> 00:02:24.475
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): opponents?

27
00:02:32.805 --> 00:02:33.735
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay.
28
00:02:33.915 --> 00:02:37.634
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): And an equal business? No business, no.
29
00:02:37.855 --> 00:02:42.304
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay, with new business, we can go on then
to…
30
00:02:42.325 --> 00:03:02.165
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): That is the new chair and a vice chair,
and for education and all of those out in the audience, that happens
every year, and it's something that rotates amongst us here. So, the
recommended action is to elect a chair and a vice chair, and
31
00:03:02.415 --> 00:03:18.434
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): I think probably we should start with the
chair, and then after that, we can have the vice chairing from there, or
do we… vice chair, vice chair, and then… Yeah, I can just briefly touch
on it. Yeah, we can go for a motion to nominate for a chair. Okay. At
this point, we can get anything.
32
00:03:18.435 --> 00:03:22.775
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): seconds, or alternatively, if you'd like
to nominate someone else, we could do that at the.
33
00:03:22.775 --> 00:03:29.074
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay. And if you'd like, we can allow
brief moments for each of the nominations to make comments.
34
00:03:29.075 --> 00:03:43.064
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Then after that, we can call for a vote,
and then just, of course, make sure you vote in the affirmative only for
one candidate, to ensure we have a majority vote. And also, reminder to…
we need to open up this item for public comment before the motions begin.
35
00:03:43.195 --> 00:03:48.394
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Before the motion. Yes, and then after the
chair is elected, we can repeat the process for our vice chair.
36
00:03:48.545 --> 00:03:49.195
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay.
37
00:03:49.200 --> 00:03:49.910
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Thank you very much.
38
00:03:50.295 --> 00:03:53.835
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, can I have a motion for electing the
chair?
39
00:03:54.465 --> 00:04:00.184
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): I do. I, nominate… It hasn't been second
yet. Okay. Do I hear a second?

00:04:01.235 --> 00:04:02.125
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yes.
41
00:04:02.295 --> 00:04:14.145
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Thank you. It's been motioned and seconded
that, we, hold, elections of the chair. Do I hear, nominations? Yes. I
would like to nominate Chair Carlton to continue in the role.
42
00:04:14.615 --> 00:04:22.775
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): I respectfully decline. Thank you very
much. I would, I would nominate, the current…
43
00:04:22.955 --> 00:04:25.945
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Vice Chair, who is Usha Naraya.
44
00:04:26.485 --> 00:04:30.784
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): No second, but nagination?
45
00:04:31.235 --> 00:04:34.724
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Are there any other nominations for chair?
46
00:04:36.495 --> 00:04:40.205
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): I would… I would nominate Lita?
47
00:04:40.815 --> 00:04:41.705
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Jindy.
48
00:04:42.295 --> 00:04:43.655
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Do I hear a second?
49
00:04:46.985 --> 00:04:50.905
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): For chair? Dominion chair.
50
00:04:51.935 --> 00:04:52.905
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Awesome.
51
00:04:53.425 --> 00:04:55.055
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Nausea.
52
00:04:55.435 --> 00:05:11.705
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Say again? Have a say. Did you say you
were seconding? No, no, I said that he's abstaining. Oh, he's abstaining.
Okay, so we're not hearing a second, then we will move on, and we will
hold the, the, election for the chair.
53
00:05:12.265 --> 00:05:21.095
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): We're gonna give, like, a… And we need to
have a little talk. Yeah, we'll give, like, a brief, like, minute to give
a little spiel about why you want to…
54
00:05:21.255 --> 00:05:25.425
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yes, excuse me, now we will open it to,
55
00:05:25.625 --> 00:05:29.334
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Susha Naraya to make a little
presentation.
56
00:05:29.445 --> 00:05:30.395
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Whoa.
57
00:05:30.525 --> 00:05:34.934
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): My first thought was, I would like Chair
Cunningham to continue the role.
58
00:05:34.935 --> 00:05:49.674
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): You know, because she has experience, and
she's been in the role for a long time, and she knows the process, and so
I would still like Chair Cunningham to consider continuing the role.
59
00:05:50.225 --> 00:05:55.384
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): So that's my, spiel first, so…
60
00:05:55.385 --> 00:06:10.965
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Well, I do respectfully decline, and I
will put it like this, which is that, yes, I have served on many
occasions, and that is good, it's great for me, it really has a lot of
benefits to being the chair, as opposed to being not the chair. That
being said.
61
00:06:10.965 --> 00:06:15.584
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): It's important for all of us to learn all
the rules of the Commission.
62
00:06:15.585 --> 00:06:30.174
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): I've actually become more deeply
knowledgeable about how things are and what we're talking about as you
are the chair. So, it's something, that will stand you in good stead in
the future.
63
00:06:30.325 --> 00:06:38.715
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): As well, if you want to have any other
roles, say, in… Understood. Thank you. Thank you.
64
00:06:38.825 --> 00:06:42.854
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): So… Does… do we ask about it?
65
00:06:43.655 --> 00:06:50.485
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Do we… so… Currently, it sounds like we
don't have a motion, right?
66
00:06:50.485 --> 00:06:51.144
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yeah, we did.
67
00:06:51.150 --> 00:07:02.359
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): motion, and then we asked… and Anna
second, and then we asked her to speak, and she did. And so we… we can
just elect a very unwilling… Is it a good idea?
68
00:07:02.365 --> 00:07:03.844
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): Let me, let me hold.
69
00:07:03.845 --> 00:07:06.415
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, we need to take it to a boat.
70
00:07:06.420 --> 00:07:08.630
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Oops, yeah, thank you.
71
00:07:08.835 --> 00:07:11.835
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Or share. Okay. Commissioner Joe's?
72
00:07:12.255 --> 00:07:13.085
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Bye.
73
00:07:13.915 --> 00:07:19.045
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Commissioner Sripathi is absent.
Commissioner…
74
00:07:19.045 --> 00:07:19.955
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): He came in.
75
00:07:19.955 --> 00:07:20.545
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): He's here.
76
00:07:20.550 --> 00:07:27.409
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): He just got… Oh, sorry. He came in very
quietly. Missionary Poppy? Yes.
77
00:07:28.170 --> 00:07:30.099
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Commissioner Duty? Aye.
78
00:07:30.350 --> 00:07:31.830
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Vice Chair Narayan?
79
00:07:32.490 --> 00:07:36.899
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): I abstained. I'm kidding.
80
00:07:37.270 --> 00:07:43.230
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Chair Cunningham? Motion carries with Vice
Chair Narayan abstaining.
81
00:07:44.750 --> 00:07:48.949
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): We'll help them, don't worry.
82
00:07:48.955 --> 00:08:02.665
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Excuse me, I think right now that what we
do is that we turn the meeting over to, Usha, and she will proceed with
the election of the Vice Chair, or do I just do that while we're on this
roll? Because it was opened at this time.
83
00:08:02.670 --> 00:08:05.120
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): So for the, for the remaining…
84
00:08:05.290 --> 00:08:09.709
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): of the meeting, she would be, stepping
into the lawyer's chair. Okay.
85
00:08:10.070 --> 00:08:15.699
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Do you want to sit where you are? Do you
want to come from here and talk? I'm good here.
86
00:08:15.820 --> 00:08:16.939
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): To the vice chair.
87
00:08:19.640 --> 00:08:23.890
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): All to, opening nomination for Vice Chair.
88
00:08:24.140 --> 00:08:29.110
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): I have a nomination. Nomination? Yeah. For
vice chair. For vice chair.
89
00:08:29.115 --> 00:08:33.164
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Do we have to motion that, though? Yeah. I
motion that we do the vice chair.
90
00:08:34.150 --> 00:08:36.119
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): Anybody to second?
91
00:08:36.929 --> 00:08:39.969
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): Second? Second, thank you. I.
92
00:08:39.970 --> 00:08:52.650
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): I… I have a vote. Nita Jindy, I would like
to nominate her for, question. I would like to second the nomination.
Thank you.
93
00:08:53.270 --> 00:08:57.580
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Thank you so much, but I have respectfully
declined.
94
00:08:57.830 --> 00:09:06.329
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): For personal reasons. How is that
happening to them? Thank you so much, though, for the consideration. I
appreciate it.
95
00:09:08.120 --> 00:09:09.190
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): Hello?
96
00:09:09.500 --> 00:09:12.510
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): I'd like to… family maids.
97
00:09:13.020 --> 00:09:17.970
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): Jasmine, Commissioner… Justin? Yes,
tattoos.
98
00:09:19.700 --> 00:09:20.720
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): I second it.
99
00:09:20.920 --> 00:09:21.820
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay.
100
00:09:25.050 --> 00:09:25.780
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Alright.
101
00:09:25.960 --> 00:09:27.370
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): So now we take a vote?
102
00:09:27.370 --> 00:09:41.559
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): We have two nominations, right? So we
would pull, like, the motion as if it were a vote, and like Evelyn said,
if there's two candidates from a position to vote in the affirmative for
only one, so that only one person gets elected to the scene.
103
00:09:42.020 --> 00:09:47.189
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): That's… I mean… So we have the motion
right now. You still have the motion? Yeah, we still have the motion.
104
00:09:47.195 --> 00:09:56.395
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): Vice Chair, do we have any other
nominations for the Vice Chair? So, so, I'm sorry, so you have a motion
and a nomination for Commissioner Siddi?
105
00:09:56.570 --> 00:10:07.810
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Right, and I believe commission's only
declined. Yes. Is that a substitute motion now, for a different
nomination, so I believe you can vote on a substitute motion. Okay. Okay,
yes.
106
00:10:09.490 --> 00:10:14.450
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, but we do need to ask for if there are
any other nominations for the Vice Chair?
107
00:10:14.455 --> 00:10:27.484
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): There's a substitute motion for the
office. That's it, because Commissioner Zendi declined, right? So now you
have a substitute motion for Commissioner Joe's to be, the Vice Chair, so
you can vote for that substitute motion. Okay.
108
00:10:27.485 --> 00:10:31.674
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): A motion to… for… vote for holding?
109
00:10:32.920 --> 00:10:33.710
Quinlan Conf Room: Seconded.
110
00:10:34.300 --> 00:10:35.690
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): I second. Okay.
111
00:10:36.150 --> 00:10:39.120
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): So we're gonna go to both Commissioner
Joe's.
112
00:10:39.770 --> 00:10:40.829
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): I abstain.
113
00:10:42.490 --> 00:10:44.400
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Commissioner Shrupathi? Here.
114
00:10:44.520 --> 00:10:46.969
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yes? Commissioner Jindy? Aye.
115
00:10:47.640 --> 00:10:49.949
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Commissioner Cunningham? Aye.
116

00:10:56.820 --> 00:10:57.900

124
00:11:13.470 --> 00:11:17.750
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): is the Housing Commission Annual Work Plan
for Calendar 2026?
125
00:11:21.060 --> 00:11:24.400
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): That's so… You didn't ask, do we have to
step into?
126
00:11:24.740 --> 00:11:28.010
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Do we have what? Do we have a staff
presentation. Oh, do we have a staff.

00:11:39.355 --> 00:11:56.815
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): So this is a new item on the… this is a
new City Council initiative, which is why this is the time you're saying
this. Every Commission is required to adopt a work plan, and this is to
ensure that the Housing Commission's efforts are aligned with the City
Council's broader goals, including their work plan and our housing
element.
131
00:11:57.205 --> 00:12:06.394
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): And this tentative work plan accounts for
Commissioner agenda items that you've requested before and that fall
within the purview of your role within the Housing Commission.
132
00:12:09.625 --> 00:12:17.434
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Back in December of last year, staff
reached out to the housing commissioners and requested that you send over
any activities or policies
133
00:12:17.445 --> 00:12:31.645
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): And just general items that you wanted to
see agendized for the next year. And we also took into account items that
we discussed during previous meetings in 2025. So some of these items
included prioritizing time-sensitive housing element items.
134
00:12:31.645 --> 00:12:38.794
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): tenant protection, anti-displacement, and
homeless prevention policies, as well as more transparency within the BMR
program.
135
00:12:41.235 --> 00:12:58.974
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, I'll briefly go over our tentative
work plan. So, starting with today, we have the election of officers,
we're adopting a work plan, we'll also be providing an update on the
below market rate administrator request for proposal, as well as making
recommendations for our housing funding NOFA.
136
00:13:01.135 --> 00:13:18.144
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): In May, we'll be requesting approval to
submit the fiscal year 26-27 Community Development Block Grant Annual
Action Plan, as well as discussing potential rezoning and or annexations
to ensure compliance with housing element no-net loss provisions.
137
00:13:20.505 --> 00:13:40.495
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): And then in September, we'll return to
request approval to submit the fiscal year 25-26 Consolidated Annual
Performance Evaluation Report, the paper, as well as, seeking
recommendation for an approval of an amendment to the Housing Mitigation
Manual for a citywide fee update and study.
138
00:13:42.135 --> 00:13:55.764
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): And finally, in October, we'll have the
announcement of fiscal year 27-28, housing funding NOFA, as well as we'll
be providing an update on draft ordinances related to tenant protections
and programs for anti-displacement.
139
00:13:56.935 --> 00:14:11.104
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): And just a quick disclaimer that the work
plan items proposed are not fully inclusive or final. They are subject to
change or being rescheduled. And, of course, we can add additional items,
just depending on any emerging priorities or direction that we receive.
140
00:14:12.835 --> 00:14:23.814
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): That concludes my presentation, but once
the Housing Commission concludes their discussion, we do have a motion on
the table to adopt the proposed Housing Commission work plan for the
upcoming year.
141
00:14:24.355 --> 00:14:26.704
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): And I'm open for any questions.
142
00:14:28.210 --> 00:14:37.539
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Do you want the questions now, or the
motion first? I forget. Questions first. Questions first. I have
questions. Through the chair, may I ask my questions?
143
00:14:37.540 --> 00:14:58.110
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): I noted in the written document that there
were a couple of other things that were being added. In May, there is
rezoning and or annexations to ensure compliance with the housing element
in no nut loss provisions, and also in the written report, there was an
amendment to the housing mitigation manual for citywide update and nexus
study.
144
00:14:58.110 --> 00:15:03.999
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, I note that those are in there as
well, and I also wanted…
145
00:15:04.790 --> 00:15:23.439
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): that if we're… since we're going to be
having that nexus in September, I think it's really important for those
who have, excuse me, before that, training on the, existing below-market
rate manual, to include data on how many below-market rate homes have
been received.
146
00:15:23.440 --> 00:15:32.140
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): to date during that process, which has
been 8 years since the last nexus, and how many new BMR homes have been
built.
147
00:15:32.200 --> 00:15:36.849
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): that manual, and how many have been lost.
So that's what I would ex…
148
00:15:36.970 --> 00:15:49.239
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): hope that we could have for this group
before we head into doing that Nexus. I was here for the last nexus, and
so I know how it goes, and it's really important that we all be
knowledgeable about what the
149
00:15:49.450 --> 00:15:56.899
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): where we are in that regard. I would also
suggest that, And then…
150
00:15:57.540 --> 00:16:03.330
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Oh, in July, that would probably be a
special meeting, but then I would suggest another special meeting in
July.
151
00:16:03.440 --> 00:16:11.180
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): to consider, the change to the, Housing
Commission Charter, but I would go over that another time.
152
00:16:11.910 --> 00:16:14.479
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Thank you. Thank you, Chair. Phillips.
153
00:16:16.030 --> 00:16:18.660
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): Any other questions? Thomas?
154
00:16:19.160 --> 00:16:20.520
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): From the world's plant.
155
00:16:21.580 --> 00:16:27.100
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): How is… from the plans.
156
00:16:27.100 --> 00:16:28.560
Speaker 17 (Quinlan Conf Room): for 2025.
157
00:16:28.676 --> 00:16:31.436
Quinlan Conf Room: And what's improved upon from prior years?
158
00:16:32.156 --> 00:16:33.206
Quinlan Conf Room: I can defer to Nikki.
159
00:16:33.210 --> 00:16:35.080
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): He on that. That size…
160
00:16:35.080 --> 00:16:39.860
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): of 2020. So we incorporated a lot of new
items that were not there before,
161
00:16:39.890 --> 00:16:55.679
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): And that has to do a lot with the
emerging, kind of, housing element deadlines that we're coming up upon,
right? We're committed to, like, upwards of 60 different policies and
programs, each of them with a date that we should have some sort of
action study or implementation by.
162
00:16:55.680 --> 00:17:04.470
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): And so, this year, there are two things
that are there that are housing element related, right? The first is, now
that we're somewhere in the middle of the cycle.
163
00:17:04.950 --> 00:17:12.980
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): making sure that we have enough sites to
meet our arena. So that's going to be something that comes to this body
for study, and then…
164
00:17:13.400 --> 00:17:23.459
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Right, because they handle land use
decisions. And then the other being our fee update, making sure that our
fees that we're collecting, right, on developments
165
00:17:23.460 --> 00:17:35.889
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): are adequately getting a commensurate
amount of funds to build affordable housing with, right? And so that
means looking… it's a nexus, right? So that means looking at other
cities, how much they're charging, and then looking at how much we're
charging right now, and seeing what's working, what's not.
166
00:17:35.890 --> 00:17:45.379
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Right? And that ultimately gets… means we
have to amend the housing mitigation Manual if we were to do that. So
that's why it's got to be seen by this council. So those are two new
things, right?
167
00:17:45.580 --> 00:18:01.109
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): That are not there before. And then… and
that's… so that's trying to basically be responsive of, like, our, like,
housing element needs, our state-required, like, mandates. And then also
the other is being responsive, you know, to commissioner feedback on what
they'd like to see. We heard a lot that we wanted
168
00:18:01.110 --> 00:18:10.549
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): more transparency with the BMR program.
That's why today we have a new item that was not there before, right?
Which was, we were getting a kind of a public update on how we did
evaluations.
169
00:18:10.610 --> 00:18:13.430
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): for our next BMR administrator.
170
00:18:13.610 --> 00:18:24.739
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yeah, so just trying to, you know, fit in
as much as we can, be wary of, you know, our state, you know, mandated
work, but also trying to be, you know, responding to you guys and your
requests.
171
00:18:27.200 --> 00:18:28.870
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, any other questions?
172
00:18:29.170 --> 00:18:32.549
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): On the work plan? I have one.
173
00:18:32.920 --> 00:18:41.770
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): The other question I have is, are we
going… maybe we should suggest a special meeting time to… in advance of
this, because,
174
00:18:41.880 --> 00:18:51.250
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): It sounds like we have a full schedule on
each meeting that is already indicated here, and I think, again, that
that training is really important.
175
00:18:51.430 --> 00:18:52.580
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): And…
176
00:18:52.760 --> 00:18:59.379
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, if it's going… I think we should add a
meeting now, and I'll plan for it to be here.
177
00:19:00.270 --> 00:19:02.989
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): If that's what the Commission decides they
want.
178
00:19:02.995 --> 00:19:06.474
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): What is the initial meeting for? To go
over the work plan?
179
00:19:06.480 --> 00:19:25.910
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): No, to go over the low market rate manual,
because I'm reading with Sir, I mean, I haven't read it over and over
again either, but I read it once recently, and it occurs to me we're all
new. It wouldn't hurt to have somebody to take over it, to actually go
through it and understand what,
180
00:19:25.910 --> 00:19:33.560
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): policies are, and all of that in it.
Because it's not… it's not as, as it may appear.
181
00:19:35.410 --> 00:19:42.540
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): So that's why… I know I'm asking a lot of
my fellow commissioners, too, to go… to come to yet another…
182
00:19:43.810 --> 00:19:57.479
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): Maybe it's an add-on to that, if we can,
include in the work plan, is, you know, Nikki shared the two studies that
were done. We got the two studies, so,
183
00:19:58.000 --> 00:20:13.809
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): the Santa Clara Anti-District
Conservative, and then the West Valley Homeless. Sure. So we never really
had a chance to discuss the studies, so I did spend a couple of days
studying and, studying our questions.
184
00:20:13.920 --> 00:20:25.210
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): which I think is out of the scope of this
meeting. So whether we could add that to our work plan for this year to
go over those things in detail,
185
00:20:25.400 --> 00:20:38.450
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): Because I think it was just released to
the public just, just very recently. A couple of weeks ago, I believe,
right? So, maybe if we have a chance to discuss those studies, that could
be added to the work plan.
186
00:20:38.665 --> 00:20:47.844
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): So for how we do this administratively, I
mean, I think that's definitely in your purview, right, as the
Commission, so if you want to schedule an additional special meeting.
187
00:20:48.695 --> 00:21:03.824
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): a substitute motion to adopt this with,
like, the amendment that you want to also add a special meeting? That's
essentially, like, a study session, right, for the studies, and then also
the BMR, housing mitigation Manual. But let's leave the actual date
188
00:21:03.825 --> 00:21:10.674
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): For us to go to facilities and figure out
what day we have this room. Yeah. Oh, okay.
189
00:21:10.675 --> 00:21:21.245
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): these things, the study sessions.
Basically, it's like educating our group, right? Whether it needs to be
done as a meeting.
190
00:21:21.345 --> 00:21:33.994
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): Or a special meeting? Or could it be done,
like, via email? Like, just between the commissioners? Like, the five of
us with you include, like, a virtual session, you know, I'm just… just a
question.
191
00:21:34.205 --> 00:21:40.134
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): But it's possible, without involving, you
know, getting the facility and the room and all that stuff.
192
00:21:40.140 --> 00:21:49.650
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Can I add something? Can I respond before
you respond? Because you… I would like to say that I think it's important
for everybody
193
00:21:49.930 --> 00:21:52.390
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): In the city, to understand the…
194
00:21:52.680 --> 00:21:55.790
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, therefore, I personally… I see, okay.
I personally…
195
00:21:56.510 --> 00:22:08.430
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): don't think, with all due respect, I don't
think it should be internal to just us. I think it should be out to other
people in the city who are interested in this little market rate manual.
This is, if I may add.
196
00:22:08.435 --> 00:22:15.574
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): you can have schedule. The Commission
chooses to schedule for a study session. That is open to everybody, just
like Commissioner, that's what she's…
197
00:22:15.715 --> 00:22:19.175
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): So if you wanna… if you wanna keep it,
198
00:22:19.535 --> 00:22:24.344
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): I don't know what you want to call it, in
a smaller group, and sort of study it within yourselves,
199
00:22:24.435 --> 00:22:43.334
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): two of you, we can schedule special
meetings for two at a time, so it's not a Brown Act issue, or if you want
to individually study up on these things and get a few questions to us,
we can do that. He also, our team, has also issued a info memo to the
City Council.
200
00:22:43.335 --> 00:23:00.255
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): on this particular item, so I would
encourage you to take a look at that first. We want to see what direction
the Council will take on these studies are not final, final yet, so I
hesitate in sort of having a very public discussion on documents that
have not been deemed final.
201
00:23:00.335 --> 00:23:16.554
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): So to follow up on Vicki's point, if
that's what you want to do, we can't do that just not date-specific, but
we can see where things fall, and see what council schedule's like, and
then so we can kind of plan these things accordingly. Just something to
think about.
202
00:23:19.190 --> 00:23:21.609
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): Are there any… Any questions?
203
00:23:23.120 --> 00:23:33.260
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): I always have a question. Because, the
study… the studies then, you're saying that that goes to city council for
them to do something about
204
00:23:33.670 --> 00:23:37.059
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): It's not something that we're going to be…
205
00:23:37.200 --> 00:23:40.319
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Weighing in on, I guess is the point.
206
00:23:40.325 --> 00:23:44.785
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): I'm not saying it's going to city council,
all I'm saying is that we've done an information memo.
207
00:23:44.885 --> 00:24:02.065
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): On a couple of these studies that have
been issued, I think maybe it has more to do with just overall, unhoused,
issue at the top end. Okay. And these were… some of these documents were
attached to it. I see. All what I'm saying is that I don't know
208
00:24:02.205 --> 00:24:05.225
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): What direction the city is potentially
going to take
209
00:24:05.455 --> 00:24:20.505
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Based on these studies. I see. But we can
certainly work with the Commission if you have questions, you want to
understand more. Okay. After you've had a chance to digest these studies,
we can certainly work with that. I don't know, necessarily, at this
point, needs to be
210
00:24:20.615 --> 00:24:27.944
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): a public study session, but if that's
something that you feel like the Commission needs to have, then we can
certainly plan for that.
211
00:24:28.820 --> 00:24:31.429
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): There are two studies that,
212
00:24:31.580 --> 00:24:42.389
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): That was done completely, right, completed
recently, right? That's on the city website. Currently. And it is for
public viewing, so I'm assuming that those are the final reports.
213
00:24:42.395 --> 00:24:44.285
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Correct. No…
214
00:24:44.285 --> 00:24:47.365
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): modifications gonna be done? Because, I
don't…
215
00:24:47.530 --> 00:25:04.779
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): The West Valley study is complete, and the
NT Displacement Survey is also complete. The community plan to end
homelessness, which is what the county's currently working on, that's
still a draft. But all that is on the website, and you guys are… you guys
are welcome to actually email us, and we can answer questions. Okay,
alright.
216
00:25:06.460 --> 00:25:08.399
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): And the link is on our.
217
00:25:08.400 --> 00:25:12.650
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): You know, I'll send you guys an email.
Okay, thank you.
218
00:25:12.650 --> 00:25:21.909
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): I don't know if you are considering then
withdrawing that as a special topic? Is that separate to me from the…
From the BMR manual.
219
00:25:21.915 --> 00:25:24.654
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): Correct. So, yeah, we…
220
00:25:24.945 --> 00:25:33.894
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): We can withdraw? I mean, I… I mean, I will
send my questions to Nikki on those things, so… I'm in agreement.
221
00:25:34.315 --> 00:25:35.175
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay.
222
00:25:36.510 --> 00:25:37.610
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Do you have any motion?
223
00:25:37.870 --> 00:25:38.460
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): I'm over.
224
00:25:38.465 --> 00:25:42.505
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Before we have a motion, can we go to
public comment? Oh, yeah. Thank you.
225
00:25:43.940 --> 00:25:48.019
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): Oh, can we go for public comment? Yes, we
have no speakers here.
226
00:25:48.440 --> 00:25:50.230
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): Alright, okay.
227
00:25:50.750 --> 00:25:55.869
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): So that it's the next agenda, by the way?
Oh, no, we need to pass the…
228
00:25:55.875 --> 00:26:14.665
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): The original motion. Okay. And I would
recommend that we have the, just as we're recommending, since we have a
regular scheduled meeting, that we use one of those regularly scheduled
times for this special meeting, and that could be in any intervening
time, like.
229
00:26:14.945 --> 00:26:17.105
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): April. June.
230
00:26:17.970 --> 00:26:21.129
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): We'll see which one fits. Okay. Yeah,
we'll see which one.
231
00:26:21.135 --> 00:26:28.875
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): There's 3 right now open for that
possibility, as long as it's before those nexus. Okay.
232
00:26:31.175 --> 00:26:34.874
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay, then I'm finished with my question.
Okay.
233
00:26:34.875 --> 00:26:40.834
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): No more questions. So, would we, pass a
motion to…
234
00:26:40.835 --> 00:26:46.485
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): would motion to adopt the proposed Housing
Commission plan for 2026 with an amendment. Okay. I want to add…
235
00:26:46.715 --> 00:26:53.154
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): a special meeting date sometime in the
summer to study the Housing Mitigation Manual. I shall move. Got it.
236
00:26:53.155 --> 00:26:54.114
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): I still move.
237
00:26:54.365 --> 00:26:59.544
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): what was just said. Yeah. And is there a
second? I can second that.
238
00:27:01.270 --> 00:27:17.450
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): You're always welcome to email us with
questions, you don't have to wait for a meeting like that. Anytime you
have a question, whether it's all of our documents with Adrian, email us,
you don't have to wait for me.
239
00:27:17.455 --> 00:27:30.984
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): I mean, I'm very hesitant to send by
emails because I'm really scared of this drone act, so I send only to…
Yeah, that's perfect. That's perfect, thank you. Okay, so,
240
00:27:31.465 --> 00:27:38.924
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): A motion to call for vote? Okay. To pass
the work plan. Commissioner Sripathi? Aye.
241
00:27:39.115 --> 00:27:39.935
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): Commissioner Dean.
242
00:27:39.935 --> 00:27:44.644
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Aye. Commissioner Cunningham? Aye. Vice
Chair Jones?
243
00:27:45.475 --> 00:27:49.045
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Chair Narayan? Aye. Motion carries
unanimously.
244
00:27:51.810 --> 00:27:54.450
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay, so we move on to the next agenda
item.
245
00:27:57.570 --> 00:28:16.169
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, our third item tonight is the Below
Market Rate Housing Program Administrator Evaluation Update. This is a
new item, right, that is responded to request for more transparency in
our process with the BMR program. And this year is unique, right? So let
me give a little bit of background that the city
246
00:28:16.370 --> 00:28:17.840
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): currently provides
247
00:28:17.900 --> 00:28:35.390
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): has a program that requires housing
developments to provide a percentage of their units to be affordable
within their market rate developments, right? This is the inclusionary
program, meaning a market rate developer coming in with their proposal
for, say, 100 units, right? 50% of those they would need to keep
restricted, right, to low and very low people. Now.
248
00:28:35.390 --> 00:28:39.179
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): These units are all jointly administered
by a single entity.
249
00:28:39.250 --> 00:28:54.609
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Right? This is to ensure compliance,
number one, and number two, to centralize the program into a single
waitlist, instead of having people apply, right, to all the 50 different
developers for their unit. Rise Housing has been the city's BMR
administrator since 2017.
250
00:28:54.830 --> 00:29:04.390
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): In their contract, their multi-year
contract expires this June, in 2026. So this year, we had an RFP process
for the selection of the city's next…
251
00:29:04.490 --> 00:29:20.390
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): EMR administrator. Let's talk about the
process for that. So, November 3rd, we opened it up for responses. It was
posted to the website, you know, postings were done in the newspaper and
all that. Then, one month later, December 3rd, we closed it, right?
252
00:29:20.780 --> 00:29:35.109
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): At that time, we received 3 proposals from
3 qualified consultants. Throughout December, staff evaluations. There's
a panel of staff kind of scoring these, applications. We narrowed it down
to a top 2.
253
00:29:35.520 --> 00:29:44.879
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Then in January, we invited those top two
to come to us with interviews so we could discuss further based on the
criteria, right, and the RFP.
254
00:29:44.880 --> 00:29:58.439
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): We narrowed it down further to basically a
frontrunner, a top one. So now in the process, we are here in March 2026.
We wanted to bring this item to the Housing Commission to describe
everything that kind of went into our decision making.
255
00:29:58.490 --> 00:30:14.920
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): And then afterwards, it will take in, you
know, any of the comments you guys make to today, to further do kind of,
like, final sort of negotiations with them, and we'll be taking an
agreement to City Council May 2026 to authorize execution of an
agreement.
256
00:30:16.160 --> 00:30:22.640
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, the three applicants we had were Rise
Housing, Housing Inc, and Heart of San Mateo County.
257
00:30:24.770 --> 00:30:34.240
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): The evaluation criteria in our RFP, there
were four categories. The first, firm and project team qualifications.
Second, work plan approach.
258
00:30:34.270 --> 00:30:48.829
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Third, California slash Bay Area
integration, and fourth, pricing slash cost. We're going to get into what
each of those mean, don't worry. So, first, project and project… firm and
project team qualifications. This is for the applicant to demonstrate
their relevant experience.
259
00:30:49.250 --> 00:30:52.360
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): to running Cupertino's BMR program, right?
260
00:30:52.490 --> 00:31:07.740
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): And so, in this category, RISE scored the
highest. They are our current BMR administrator, so it only makes sense.
Second, Housing Inc, placed in the middle. They have Santa Clara County
experience. They are the current BMR administrators for the City of
Campbell.
261
00:31:08.230 --> 00:31:11.160
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): But not…
262
00:31:11.420 --> 00:31:30.670
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Right? And then third heart of San Mateo
County, they have a lot of barriers administering for a lot of different
cities, just in San Mateo County, right? So their programs, they're a
little bit different than ours, and there would be some adjustments,
right? That being said, when it comes to just team qualifications, all of
them are very, very highly qualified to run a BMR program.
263
00:31:32.860 --> 00:31:46.249
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): All right, next, work plan approach.
Demonstrate the knowledge of the BMR portfolio, that is the city's BMR
portfolio, and then work necessary to administer the program, as well as
any process improvements that they would like to suggest, right?
264
00:31:46.260 --> 00:32:05.699
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, at the application stage, both Housing
Inc. and RISE scored very, very highly in this category, right? They
understood the size of the portfolio and the changes we expect to see in
the next coming years, right? That means that comes from any new projects
being completed that adds to the portfolio, that comes from units
expiring, right? Where we lose…
265
00:32:05.870 --> 00:32:07.409
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): It's in the portfolio.
266
00:32:07.500 --> 00:32:26.820
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): part gave very strong, assumptions, but
for a single year, right? And it's important for us right now, and I'm
gonna explain why we need to see some, like, assumptions of, like, you
know, next years, right? Because during the interview stage, it became
very apparent that RISE was
267
00:32:27.540 --> 00:32:34.349
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Actually, we flipped, and we put RISE on
top above housing, because they were very aware of, kind of, the workload
that is to be expected.
268
00:32:34.370 --> 00:32:53.259
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): with the expiring units, actually, in our
rental program, because on paper, you would think that's a work
reduction, right? You're losing units. But in reality, there's a lot of
case management and a lot of support that has to go towards, basically,
like, helping these tenants negotiate their final leases, navigating,
basically, their exit from the BMR program.
269
00:32:53.290 --> 00:33:09.279
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): And working with the developers, right,
who are going through all these different noticing timelines. There's a
lot. It does… the workload does not go down, and they really demonstrated
that during their interview. So, during the application stage, housing
ink scored highest, rise middle part third, but on the other
270
00:33:09.440 --> 00:33:13.820
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): After the interview, RISE rose to the top,
Housing Inc. in the middle, and then Hartford.
271
00:33:15.640 --> 00:33:18.900
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Alright, the third category was California
slash Bay Area integration.
272
00:33:19.190 --> 00:33:31.590
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): this was where applicants could
demonstrate their knowledge of state law that would affect BMR
administration, and as well as any regional best practices to implement
into the program, right? In this category are actually scored the
highest.
273
00:33:31.590 --> 00:33:41.649
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): They suggested a number of process
improvements that were really interesting. One was using the county…
sorry, the Bay Area Doorways portal for centralized listing of, like.
274
00:33:41.650 --> 00:33:54.039
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Like, basically the cities and all other
cities that use it, as well as remove BMR resale costs as the cost of the
program to charge it as a fee for the sellers in the BMR program. So that
would remove some admin costs from the city.
275
00:33:55.580 --> 00:34:14.310
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Housing Inc. scored second highest. They
also suggested using the BFA doorways countywide via MAR portal. And then
RISE, they demonstrated that they have a lot of participation in state
conferences and regional organizations, not as much, you know, like,
borrowing from, you know, regional best practices. So they scored third
in this category.
276
00:34:16.250 --> 00:34:35.040
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): All right, the final category was pricing
slash cost. This was an objective score, very, very simple. It was just
based on who provided the most cost-efficient proposal, right? And this
one heart scored the highest because they had the lowest overall
proposal, followed by RISE, and then followed by Housing Inc. We want to
note, Housing Inc.
277
00:34:35.040 --> 00:34:47.309
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): They, they gave an estimate for their
general admin costs, but they kind of left it open on the kind of per
rate ownership and rental actions, meaning each unit. And so, really,
they're… they're…
278
00:34:47.400 --> 00:34:50.350
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Cost proposal was not as complete as we
wanted it to be.
279
00:34:52.960 --> 00:35:02.879
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, analysis. All three applicants were
very highly qualified and competent, right, and they would be worthy of
consideration, not just in this procurement, but in future.
280
00:35:03.120 --> 00:35:12.630
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): This is right now, how RISE showed the
strongest understanding and preparation of work expectations, considering
rental unit expirations, right? And… and…
281
00:35:12.630 --> 00:35:26.609
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): just the workload that would be needed to
accommodate that. Housing Inc. and HART, they proposed several innovative
process improvements, and they showed deep commitments to providing
affordable housing. So we thank them for taking the time to participate
in this and also applying.
282
00:35:26.610 --> 00:35:36.810
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): But currently, RISE is our current
frontrunner in this process, with Housing Inc. as runner-up, and then
HART should also be considered for any future procurements for BMR
Administrator.
283
00:35:37.440 --> 00:35:50.100
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): So we can't get into super nitty-gritty
of, like, exact scoring and exact pricing things right now, because,
number one, it's… final negotiations have not been done.
284
00:35:50.670 --> 00:36:07.470
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): But just for this Commission's knowledge,
right, RISE proposal right now is for another 3-year contract, and it
will be at approximately $160,000 per year. That's actually a significant
cost savings, as for what we are currently paying right now. And final
negotiations are to commit soon.
285
00:36:08.310 --> 00:36:22.229
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): So for next steps, we commence those final
negotiations after this meeting, City Council meeting in May to authorize
City Manager to execute a contract, and then execution of that next
contract we hope to have in June set up right as their last one expires.
286
00:36:23.810 --> 00:36:25.459
Quinlan Conf Room: Oh, right, so.
287
00:36:26.190 --> 00:36:30.549
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Do we have any… I'm gonna open up to the
Commission now for any clarifying questions on the side.
288
00:36:31.990 --> 00:36:37.170
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): What is the, cost difference between this
year on this?
289
00:36:38.230 --> 00:36:41.140
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): proposal by Rice, because since they are
the current admin…
290
00:36:41.775 --> 00:36:44.514
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Right now, it's about $300,000. $300,000.
291
00:36:44.515 --> 00:36:48.575
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): per year. So they're literally half that
amount.
292
00:36:49.755 --> 00:36:53.225
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): NY, yeah.
293
00:36:53.970 --> 00:37:08.380
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): they were… they changed their cost
assumptions for a lot of, like, the per rate items, and then also, like,
their general admin items, right? Because as an incumbent, administrator,
right, there's no, like, onboarding cost that we have to consider, right?
So it's just kind of like…
294
00:37:08.490 --> 00:37:15.929
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yeah, it's much more cost-effective now,
right, to continue an existing contract.
295
00:37:16.470 --> 00:37:19.110
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Why do we have to pay rent to administer?
296
00:37:19.370 --> 00:37:30.959
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): The… the workload associated with BMR
administration is enough for an entire division, I would say. And so.
297
00:37:31.070 --> 00:37:43.859
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): The cities that you see doing it in-house
are typically your city of San Jose, your… San Francisco's much, much
more cost-efficient for the smaller cities, is that we'll typically pay a
consultant.
298
00:37:44.000 --> 00:38:02.579
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): And with each of our contracts kind of
making up a share of their kind of revenue stream, they can do EMR
administration for multiple cities, so that's how it makes it work for
us, basically. Yeah. So, I mean, most of the thing is paperwork, but the
county and… I mean, what do they work?
299
00:38:03.140 --> 00:38:09.429
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): Sorry? As an administrator, what is it
that they do, really? I think I'm going to ask this question before.
Yeah, I'm sorry.
300
00:38:09.435 --> 00:38:20.865
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): They take in applicants for the waitlist,
they run the lottery, and then throughout the year, as different units
come available, they will kind of reach in through the waitlist and kind
of match them with
301
00:38:20.865 --> 00:38:32.715
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): like, the property managers of all these
different rental units, and then when it's in the case of ownership, they
actually coordinate the resale of that program through the BMR program to
another qualified buyer.
302
00:38:33.015 --> 00:38:37.814
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yeah, and then, so, that also…
303
00:38:37.875 --> 00:38:55.575
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): has to do with, like, all, like, the kind
of background sort of support work when they're, like, talking to each of
the different property managers, negotiating things, like, when there's
issues with the, you know, like, the tenancy and things like that,
getting a new tenant in. Yeah, in a nutshell, that's what they do.
304
00:38:56.580 --> 00:39:15.799
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): I was wanting to just ask, you did mention
that the work world is going to grow because of our new, priority list,
where people that are displaced then are having a… are on a high
priority, high priority, and so that has to be managed as well. And how
many of those,
305
00:39:15.860 --> 00:39:20.699
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Units are expected to… Have displaced
people from.
306
00:39:21.085 --> 00:39:27.815
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): in this 3-year timeline, about 95.
Actually, exactly 95. I don't know what I said about.
307
00:39:27.815 --> 00:39:42.725
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Right, and at issue, something that will
be… need to be worked on when just sort of speaking to the whole, is that
there may not be that many homes available that are below market rate, so
there's a little bit more…
308
00:39:43.035 --> 00:39:45.395
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Trying to get displaced people.
309
00:39:45.505 --> 00:39:46.715
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): problems.
310
00:39:48.205 --> 00:39:49.015
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Mute.
311
00:39:50.025 --> 00:39:52.045
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Not something that's concerning.
312
00:39:52.455 --> 00:39:58.025
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Very concerning. So anyway, I was just
kind of talking about what that workload is going to be like.
313
00:39:58.165 --> 00:40:02.295
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): For… for our, BMR administrator going
forward.
314
00:40:04.330 --> 00:40:13.200
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): So this is… you said 95, this is the
existing apartment units? Yeah, yeah, the… the short…
315
00:40:13.770 --> 00:40:29.119
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Another explanation of what's going on is
these were built in the 1990s, and back then, the terms of the BMR
mitigation, sort of, housing program manual was that they would be
restricted for a term of 30 years. Now it's 99, but 30 years back then,
and so 30 years from
316
00:40:29.470 --> 00:40:34.959
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): The 90s is now. Right. So, they're being
released from the program.
317
00:40:34.965 --> 00:40:40.434
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): One study, they had talked about 114 units
across 7
318
00:40:40.955 --> 00:40:45.415
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yes. This is the same. It's the same. It's
the same, yeah.
319
00:40:45.415 --> 00:40:53.974
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): What, 19? Those expire in, like, 2038 and
2039. Okay. Okay.
320
00:40:54.925 --> 00:40:57.884
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): So do they also fine to renegotiate?
321
00:40:57.885 --> 00:41:00.215
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): The parking complexes, or…
322
00:41:00.775 --> 00:41:08.444
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): Or, like, since these come out of the BMR,
we need to find new homes, so is the… Yeah, well, so, so…
323
00:41:08.585 --> 00:41:27.984
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): that's kind of where we have to, like, let
them go, essentially, from the program. But up until that point, we found
that it's not so simple as just it expiring. There is a workload involved
with, like, negotiating that final lease, and then supporting that tenant
as they try to go out and look for other housing resources, because
324
00:41:28.415 --> 00:41:33.934
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): As they qualify for this program, they
cannot afford, basically, to go out into…
325
00:41:34.055 --> 00:41:42.234
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): into the market, right? So, like, kind of
helping them sort of navigate that end-of-term release, and then also
talking to
326
00:41:42.745 --> 00:41:59.375
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): the property managers, as they have to…
there's certain things they have to do, right, as it expires. There's
certain things they have to know… they have to do noticing, and we have
to check to make sure all the tenants are getting that noticing, and they
have offered to assist in all that stuff like that. So there's work with
the expirators.
327
00:41:59.485 --> 00:42:01.645
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yeah, but professionals, like…
328
00:42:02.290 --> 00:42:10.400
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): You said some of these are expiring on the
30-year visas, right? Yeah. So do they continue to become 99-year-old
visas, or do they…
329
00:42:10.850 --> 00:42:17.269
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): Does the property owner have the choice of
not putting it on the PLR? Can they…
330
00:42:17.510 --> 00:42:22.210
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): Then the city or somebody has to go and
find new homes for new apartments.
331
00:42:22.430 --> 00:42:23.740
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): for using…
332
00:42:24.500 --> 00:42:27.240
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): I, I, I kind of missed it.
333
00:42:27.245 --> 00:42:44.265
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): I think what I understand you to mean,
Commissioner Shabathi, is that, is it possible for a maturing, apartment
complex maturing out, could they decide to, oh, no, we'll just stay in,
and we will continue with the low market rate? And my understanding is
that often, what those
334
00:42:44.295 --> 00:42:51.985
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): apartment owners want to do is sell, make
the money, and they have their own things that they want to do, so…
335
00:42:51.985 --> 00:42:59.534
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): We should attempt to negotiate with them
there, they have other plans. Yeah.
336
00:42:59.535 --> 00:43:07.644
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): Then we lose forms, right? From the BMR.
What's our… do we need to find other owners?
337
00:43:07.645 --> 00:43:24.614
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): The best thing that we can do, honestly,
is to make replacements, right? Build more low-income housing so there's
a place for these people to go, right? Your only other option, right, is
to try to preserve the existing units, and that only works if those
people want to negotiate.
338
00:43:25.325 --> 00:43:27.465
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): So… so…
339
00:43:27.465 --> 00:43:34.194
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yeah. So just to add to that, every
development has a low market rate department, food-generated department.
340
00:43:34.435 --> 00:43:47.375
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, every, new developer project comes
through and gets approved and actually gets built, will also include a
percentage of BMR units, and that's what you see can count on to try to
replenish.
341
00:43:47.405 --> 00:44:04.475
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): best stock. Beyond that, it's really up to
the… we try our best to kind of negotiate and talk to the property
owners, but it's very rare that the property owner wants to say, yeah,
let's give these units, BMR. Most… almost all of them, in my experience,
want to kind of turn into market, sell it, or rent at a market rate.
342
00:44:05.900 --> 00:44:18.589
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): But there's no rule to say for existing
properties, right? It's only for new development, the required BMR units,
right? So, for existing, there's no rule to say, oh, you need to meet the
current
343
00:44:19.000 --> 00:44:21.510
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): percentage of BMR units.
344
00:44:21.630 --> 00:44:22.660
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): It was…
345
00:44:22.665 --> 00:44:32.575
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): was always a requirement for those in the
past and in the present. The thing that's changed now is the term of
affordability. So in the past, it was 30 years. Now it's 99 years.
346
00:44:38.110 --> 00:44:45.219
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): I have one question on the administrators,
the three… you said $160K, do you have the number for the other two?
347
00:44:45.500 --> 00:44:51.820
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): We do. What part and any… what is the big…
what's the difference? KCA Delta, Medina?
348
00:44:52.080 --> 00:44:52.940
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, this is where.
349
00:44:52.945 --> 00:45:02.644
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): we kind of run into, like, some issues
with, like… I was talking to our procurement, like, team in finance
about, like, what we're allowed to disclose, basically. It's…
350
00:45:02.845 --> 00:45:20.035
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): there's certain things that we don't want
to talk about in public, because, like, these people, they make, you
know, these proposals to us, and, you know, kind of awkward when they go
and make proposals to other cities, and it's the, oh, for Cupertino,
right? So,
351
00:45:20.235 --> 00:45:32.385
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): We'll have a contract for our parent
lowest bidder and our winner that we move forward with, and the others,
we thank them for, you know, applying, and we wish them good luck as they
probably go back at the market and try to look for other cities, too, but
yeah.
352
00:45:32.685 --> 00:45:43.144
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): I'll add up for Ryan, the reason… small
reasons, we're recommending, based on the price, also, is that there's
more certainty to the price proposal.
353
00:45:43.495 --> 00:45:46.144
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): That we anticipate for others. Correct.
354
00:45:46.150 --> 00:45:53.920
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Right, because theirs was the most
complete, it was multi-year, and accounted for all the work items, right?
Part was one year, and then…
355
00:45:54.310 --> 00:45:59.790
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Housing Inc, they gave us a general
administration cost, but they kind of left the per-rate cost up, so…
356
00:46:00.140 --> 00:46:03.390
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Risegate is the most complete. So it's
really a part of Pivot point.
357
00:46:03.390 --> 00:46:17.250
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): the exact difference in price, but the
price is not the primary reason why we selected a particular company. To
answer your question in this particular category, there's more certainty
to what we can expect as a city for that project for them.
358
00:46:18.270 --> 00:46:36.969
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): The only reason I was asking is because in
one of the criteria for selection, rice ranked the lowest. This is for,
more innovative approaches. California variant, yeah. Yeah, the portals
and stuff like that. So, it's just a question, would that be actually…
359
00:46:36.970 --> 00:46:45.699
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, advantageous for, for Cupertino to
have that, and if that can be negotiated with the rise to adopt is… Sure.
360
00:46:45.705 --> 00:46:53.035
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Under final negotiation. Under final
negotiation. Okay. Is that, like.
361
00:46:53.040 --> 00:46:55.480
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): Any interview process. Yeah.
362
00:46:55.480 --> 00:47:11.129
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): how you disclose, how you portray your
abilities, but it doesn't limit your abilities to do something that you
haven't disclosed. Yeah. So it depends on how you interview, what that
comes across, what's been disclosed by a different organization.
363
00:47:11.130 --> 00:47:17.420
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): it's not unique, it's not copyrighted, so
it certainly can be incorporated. Does that,
364
00:47:17.420 --> 00:47:20.239
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): work best for Tito. I'm not.
365
00:47:20.245 --> 00:47:34.585
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): sure. I think what Nikki is outlining is
that on paper, in the interview review process, that's what came across.
Not necessarily mean that that particular response, or preparation works
best for.
366
00:47:36.460 --> 00:47:42.429
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): May I make a comment? The only other
comment that I wanted to make is on page 4 of the…
367
00:47:42.540 --> 00:48:01.179
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): the fiscal impact. A question had come up
before in our meetings, I believe, was talking about how, this contract
is funded, and where it was funded out of, and the last paragraph talks
about how it is going to be, in the future, taken from the general fund.
368
00:48:01.180 --> 00:48:05.389
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): As opposed to from the below market rate,
housing
369
00:48:05.480 --> 00:48:16.440
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): fund. And that there… there's even a
ledger code that says that where it comes out of the general fund instead
of the ledger code for the BMR affordable housing.
370
00:48:16.670 --> 00:48:17.620
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, is that no?
371
00:48:17.625 --> 00:48:20.425
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): That's better? It also depends on…
372
00:48:20.425 --> 00:48:23.425
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): It's just based on our City Council's
direction.
373
00:48:23.425 --> 00:48:32.945
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): that way. I mean, that's why. I forgot to
say that part. It says, in accordance with what the City Council would
prefer, they would rather take it out of the general fund.
374
00:48:32.945 --> 00:48:47.594
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): then, and I… I… I took that as good, that
they would like to use the BMR Affordable Homes for what it's for, right?
To build homes and provide services for people who are… So anyway, I took
that as kind of good news, but,
375
00:48:47.605 --> 00:48:51.214
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): There you go. There you go. That's what I
wanted to mention, so…
376
00:48:51.220 --> 00:48:57.160
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay, and what's that cost savings going
to be contributed to as an,
377
00:48:57.310 --> 00:49:06.199
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conf Room): what will we do with about that $450,000,
right? What will we allocate that to from the pocket? That's a great
question.
378
00:49:06.610 --> 00:49:20.419
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): for the City Council, and there are many
competing priorities. I… what was the question again? She wants to know
what they're going to spend the money that they don't spend on admin on,
and I said, that's a great question for the City Council and their many
competing priorities.
379
00:49:20.425 --> 00:49:22.684
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): What do you mean in terms of the VMware
fund itself?
380
00:49:22.685 --> 00:49:33.184
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): she's talking about, because this is
coming… Basically, like, what they're saving money on this contract, what
are they going to spend it else on? I said, it's coming in a general
fund, so… Right, so…
381
00:49:33.185 --> 00:49:50.355
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): So the city can prioritize a number of
different kinds of different things. I think what we heard from the City
Council, that kind of made more sense, that a BMO fund focused on the
development and creation of BMO units, versus administrative type of
costs. So therefore, administrative type of costs could also be better,
382
00:49:50.735 --> 00:50:04.935
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): evaluate and keep track of if it's coming
from a general fund. Just like, you know, staff salaries, those kind of
things come out of the general fund as well, so that's a little bit. In
terms of what other monies will come from that, or the savings, what do
you spend that on.
383
00:50:05.155 --> 00:50:22.885
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): I think it's right, it depends on the city
priorities, but the city's priority's always been resident first, so
it'll be focusing on continuing, you know, our environment, our living
standards for the community first. As usual, that's the priority for the
city council and for the city. That being said.
384
00:50:22.885 --> 00:50:30.544
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): just for the money savings to the BMR
program, that's actually up to this commission, right? You guys weigh in
the funding recommendations for the BMR IHF fund, so…
385
00:50:31.330 --> 00:50:39.949
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conf Room): If they… the line item is coming from the
general fund, there's a cost savings for the BMR line there, right? Well,
it would be…
386
00:50:39.955 --> 00:50:42.955
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Because we would no longer be charging it
to the PR fund.
387
00:50:42.955 --> 00:50:48.215
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): So Nikki should keep an eye out for the
$150K per year. Yeah, right?
388
00:50:48.215 --> 00:50:52.994
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Maybe, maybe I'll come back with a
request, right? We'll see, we'll see. We'll see.
389
00:50:53.665 --> 00:50:57.395
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay. Do we have questions. Any further
questions? Yes.
390
00:50:57.400 --> 00:50:58.410
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yeah. Sure.
391
00:50:58.835 --> 00:51:08.955
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): clearly indicated that all three
applicants were highly qualified. Yes. However, the final stage, it seems
like the right housing kind of
392
00:51:10.675 --> 00:51:13.884
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): put behind the Housing Inc.
393
00:51:14.465 --> 00:51:31.514
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): I'm just curious, there was a 100-point
evaluation, how close were they at the end? We don't have specific how
much they scored per each category, and I understand each category was
given more weight than others, like the cost?
394
00:51:31.805 --> 00:51:40.634
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): Their proposal costs and fees was called…
apparently, we did the last 10%, 20%, and the experience with the…
395
00:51:40.975 --> 00:51:50.715
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): with the BMR in Bay Area was only 10%.
Yeah. So, I'm just curious, with top candidates, how close did they rank
at the very end?
396
00:51:50.720 --> 00:52:00.689
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): So I did talk to our purchasing manager
about how much we should be discussing in the specifics of scoring and
who scored what, and this is where we got… I can say they were close.
397
00:52:00.820 --> 00:52:02.609
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): They were all very, very close.
398
00:52:03.590 --> 00:52:06.999
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): for this are clear… are clearer than the
one. Yeah, yeah.
399
00:52:08.200 --> 00:52:10.729
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay, so my other question is.
400
00:52:10.870 --> 00:52:19.660
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): Obviously, they submitted their
application, they went through the… and the first round seems like the
housing gains seem to be more superior.
401
00:52:20.070 --> 00:52:25.450
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): During the interview, the rise performed
much better, knowing that
402
00:52:25.860 --> 00:52:30.549
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): That is very familiar with our process,
being the current administrator.
403
00:52:31.850 --> 00:52:37.130
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): I was more interested to know any past
successes or failures
404
00:52:37.570 --> 00:52:50.209
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): Specifically, how did we hear about, on
paper, everybody looks good during the interview, everybody, but then,
like, the actual… actual performance, do we have any indication?
405
00:52:50.210 --> 00:53:00.350
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): Especially with RISE, we know we work with
us a lot. What were the top priority that would give us the confidence
RISE is going to do so well?
406
00:53:00.790 --> 00:53:05.889
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): Therefore, yes, let's give them… Keep them
around for another 3 years.
407
00:53:06.320 --> 00:53:11.910
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): what I understood the two other companies,
they seem to have more innovative ideas.
408
00:53:12.090 --> 00:53:19.149
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): That seems like they were somehow trumped
by the experience and understanding the rise, and so…
409
00:53:19.830 --> 00:53:29.449
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): Is there any indication there that they
did have successes, they had some failures, and how do you put all this
in balance, and
410
00:53:29.680 --> 00:53:33.260
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): How did the references that we collected
spark?
411
00:53:33.810 --> 00:53:38.930
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): For each of the applicants, in writing, or
any verbal communication, so…
412
00:53:39.080 --> 00:53:42.939
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): There's tons of questions I put there.
Yeah. Thanks, Nikki.
413
00:53:42.940 --> 00:53:58.220
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Sure. I mean, it is kind of getting into,
like, how the sausage is muted a bit, but, I mean, we do… we did check
references, right, for all three. I called other cities who they serviced
and talked about, you know, like, what's your experience with them? And
pretty much everyone said that they had great experiences with each of
the three.
414
00:53:58.280 --> 00:54:08.030
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): you know, service providers. The way the
weights of, like, and the scoring was done was basically really kind of
tailored to what is the most
415
00:54:08.030 --> 00:54:20.390
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): pressing and emerging needs of the BMR
program that we're seeing. And very clearly, it's the 95 expiring rental
units, right? That is the biggest issue being faced. And so that is why
maybe, like, new process improvements
416
00:54:20.390 --> 00:54:29.379
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): it got maybe, like, a 10-point weight,
whereas, like, understanding the portfolio and understanding the work
needed for the portfolio got a much higher rate, right? Because
417
00:54:29.710 --> 00:54:38.789
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): if we didn't have that issue, then I think
I would agree that, like, yes, having process improvements should count
for a lot more, right?
418
00:54:39.080 --> 00:54:45.559
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): we just have to work within the context
that we are in right now, huh? It's not just… yeah.
419
00:54:45.745 --> 00:54:46.505
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): You know, I think that.
420
00:54:46.505 --> 00:55:03.875
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): It depends on the jurisdiction when we
start talking about the topic right now. Just what… what was been
disclosed in the interview process for one company versus another doesn't
necessarily mean that works best for that jurisdiction at that very
moment. I think they can just outlined what Cupertino was facing for the
next few years.
421
00:55:03.935 --> 00:55:18.495
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): And so, what we're looking at during the
interview process is which company, which firm can best address and help
the city through those, those, those years that we're looking at, and
also be within that contract years as well.
422
00:55:19.190 --> 00:55:21.889
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): Has any of those applicants have any
423
00:55:22.260 --> 00:55:31.710
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): actual experience with displacement in
their previous work? Do they have that experience? And how have they
handled that?
424
00:55:34.530 --> 00:55:35.730
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): In…
425
00:55:37.060 --> 00:55:45.030
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): When it comes to BMR administration
specifically, this is kind of like an emerging one, right? Because we're
not the only ones who are alone.
426
00:55:45.070 --> 00:55:58.260
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): In this, there's other cities that, like,
started off with the 30-year restriction, around the same time frame, and
so I know that, like, there are other cities that are also kind of
looking down this issue and trying to grapple with how to address it.
427
00:55:58.340 --> 00:56:03.840
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): And so, we're all kind of, like… Trying to
figure out how
428
00:56:04.250 --> 00:56:18.339
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): how to address this. I'm sure they work in
displacement in some form, right? Because displacement happens
everywhere, and, like, you know, there's, you know, surprising, there's
evictions, there's reinvolvements. For specifically, a BMR
429
00:56:18.510 --> 00:56:21.530
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Covenant expiring.
430
00:56:21.900 --> 00:56:25.290
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): This is kind of, like, the time where it's
starting to happen, and it is quite new.
431
00:56:25.430 --> 00:56:27.320
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): So,
432
00:56:27.580 --> 00:56:35.990
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Not quite, I would say, right? It's yes
and no. Yes, probably they all had experience with displacement. With
this specific kind of displacement, this is…
433
00:56:36.590 --> 00:56:39.930
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): So none of that has a prior experience.
434
00:56:39.935 --> 00:56:41.585
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): this specific…
435
00:56:41.585 --> 00:56:42.215
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): I'm just…
436
00:56:42.215 --> 00:56:48.194
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): scale. Yeah, of this scale and of this
specific kind. Right, 95 units in the program of Voyager 13.
437
00:56:48.195 --> 00:56:59.494
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): It sounds to me they both are on the same
level of field, and no prior experience with displacement, that's our
oppressive issue, given 95 units expire.
438
00:57:00.585 --> 00:57:08.594
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): Their rights have better understanding,
has done work. I still didn't get an answer as far as how was their
performance.
439
00:57:09.115 --> 00:57:19.384
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): Do we have any surveys from the tenants
they serve, including the expectations? How quickly they're responding?
How are they communicating?
440
00:57:20.645 --> 00:57:36.905
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): I just feel like, you know, you provided a
lot of information, but I pretty much like to hear from both top
candidates, either present and allow the commission… commissioners to ask
questions, or the city.
441
00:57:37.105 --> 00:57:45.754
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): Council to ask questions. I feel like we
need to give both fair chance, not simply just following the routine.
442
00:57:46.055 --> 00:57:49.755
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): It's familiar, it's comfortable, let's
stick to it.
443
00:57:50.365 --> 00:57:52.385
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): That's my, my feedback.
444
00:57:55.480 --> 00:57:56.190
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay.
445
00:57:56.890 --> 00:57:59.459
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Do you want to open it?
446
00:57:59.700 --> 00:58:02.310
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Open it to… The public when you call it
out.
447
00:58:02.315 --> 00:58:05.695
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): Oh, public has any questions, comments?
448
00:58:06.305 --> 00:58:08.985
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): We have no speakers, Chair. Okay.
449
00:58:09.905 --> 00:58:15.025
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, a motion to… I move to the agenda
item?
450
00:58:15.175 --> 00:58:16.895
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yeah, close discussion, I guess.
451
00:58:16.900 --> 00:58:18.130
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): Joe's discussion?
452
00:58:18.400 --> 00:58:21.110
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): I move to closed discussion, and
453
00:58:21.380 --> 00:58:26.020
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): accept and receive the presentation. Okay.
Anybody to second?
454
00:58:27.230 --> 00:58:29.919
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay, so Patrick, for a second.
455
00:58:30.120 --> 00:58:36.380
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): Wait a minute, I just proposed something,
how to deal with that? I proposed, so we…
456
00:58:36.690 --> 00:58:44.469
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): somehow interview or get in contact and
hear directly from the top two candidates. How do we move forward with
that?
457
00:58:45.210 --> 00:58:51.140
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): what I propose. I don't know, then… Is
that time is… time does not… Collection allowed?
458
00:58:51.145 --> 00:58:55.685
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): is technically within the Housing
Commission's, charter.
459
00:58:55.815 --> 00:59:02.265
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, we're bringing this item forward to
keep you updated on the process, just out of transparency, so you are…
460
00:59:02.505 --> 00:59:10.105
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): what the staff is working on. But
selecting the visitors is technically not open to charity. Similarly,
like, a firewall work
461
00:59:10.235 --> 00:59:15.754
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): If I were to select the next candidate for
the Senior Housing Coordinator, I would bring that process to the Housing
Commission.
462
00:59:16.455 --> 00:59:17.185
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Right.
463
00:59:20.250 --> 00:59:23.529
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): That's interesting. I'm thinking about,
the rec…
464
00:59:24.780 --> 00:59:44.349
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): whatever we call this, to receive the
presentation, that's the recommended action for this one, which usually
is you just received it, thank you. However, I was just wondering what
the process would be to have an idea, like Commissioner, Jindy has just
talked about, be incorporated, perhaps, into the,
465
00:59:44.810 --> 00:59:51.250
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Procurement process for things this
sensitive to, So… Bless.
466
00:59:51.970 --> 01:00:06.319
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): livelihoods of the below market rate
people who are going through a lot already. So that's just something to
be… I think that an answer probably would be useful to, for future
process.
467
01:00:06.510 --> 01:00:07.639
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Is that the question?
468
01:00:07.645 --> 01:00:12.245
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): if that falls under the responsibility of
the Housing Commissioner.
469
01:00:12.850 --> 01:00:17.010
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Well, it certainly does. This is below
market rate, that's what we do.
470
01:00:17.015 --> 01:00:27.445
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): The selection, the selection of… yeah, the
selection of the administrator. I know we are getting… we're receiving
the, presentations, but…
471
01:00:27.625 --> 01:00:29.795
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): I, I don't know what.
472
01:00:29.795 --> 01:00:33.304
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): You can add an interview with the
candidates.
473
01:00:34.625 --> 01:00:36.365
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): For the next contract.
474
01:00:36.595 --> 01:00:37.885
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): It's… oh…
475
01:00:37.890 --> 01:00:48.200
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): Mickey, maybe, well, just the way we are
recommending, you know, the funding. We are reviewing… I mean, we're not
making the decisions we are recommending.
476
01:00:48.200 --> 01:01:00.609
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, could we do that in the same line? We
receive the present… we're receiving presentation, but can we also see or
be present at the interview and make our recommendation?
477
01:01:01.170 --> 01:01:05.580
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): may not have been taken, but is that a
possibility? I think that's where we're coming.
478
01:01:05.585 --> 01:01:06.345
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): proper.
479
01:01:06.345 --> 01:01:07.845
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): I think the commissioner will go.
480
01:01:07.845 --> 01:01:26.904
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): direction, you'll have to look at your
charter in the code, and make it under your duties and powers and
responsibilities, and make that… make that suggested change. We can
certainly bring that to the City Council and see if that's something that
the Council won't wish to either modify or include in your duties and
responsibilities. It is not typical for commissions to
481
01:01:27.145 --> 01:01:36.054
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): of… regulate the… Consultant selection
process, doesn't matter, it's how the Commission, whichever could…
482
01:01:36.145 --> 01:01:41.674
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): convention we have. That is an
administrative process for the staff. Like I said, an example would be if
we were at the
483
01:01:41.675 --> 01:02:01.444
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Same process went through to hire Nikki,
senior housing coordinator. That is not a process I want to bring here
for you guys anyway. I will say Nikki turned out pretty well. We have
professional staff that do this for a living out of the day. We're
bringing this to you, so you are apprised of
484
01:02:01.445 --> 01:02:16.285
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): what the department is doing in terms of
housing-related items. We don't technically have to bring this here, but
we feel like it's necessary for you to at least know what's been done,
especially if this will be a change. Yeah. I appreciate the presentation.
485
01:02:16.285 --> 01:02:29.994
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): and I think we were also presented before
the RFP went out, getting our input as to what all we would like to see,
so I think, that's really good. At least we were able to voice our,
486
01:02:30.215 --> 01:02:33.295
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): Concerns and issues, so… Thank you.
487
01:02:33.835 --> 01:02:38.745
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, motion to close the discussion?
488
01:02:39.065 --> 01:02:39.655
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): And we have.
489
01:02:39.655 --> 01:02:45.334
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): I have a motion and a second. Let's go to
a vote. Commissioner Cunningham? Aye.
490
01:02:46.075 --> 01:02:48.315
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Chairst your coffee?
491
01:02:48.695 --> 01:02:51.035
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Commissioner Jindy? I'll say.
492
01:02:52.635 --> 01:02:54.815
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Vice Chair Jones? Aye.
493
01:02:55.785 --> 01:02:57.595
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Sharon Orion? Aye.
494
01:02:58.075 --> 01:03:02.014
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): The motion carries with Commissioner Jindy
abstaining.
495
01:03:07.860 --> 01:03:10.239
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay, let me move on to the last item.
496
01:03:11.750 --> 01:03:15.020
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): The last, agenda item, number 5,
497
01:03:15.370 --> 01:03:26.669
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): This for the, fiscal year 26-27 Community
Development Block Grant Program and BMR Affordable Housing Fund
Allocations.
498
01:03:27.860 --> 01:03:32.730
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yes, thank you, Madam Chair. So, for our
final item tonight, we have the funding recommendations.
499
01:03:32.780 --> 01:03:50.730
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): In response to our 2627 NOFA. This is for
the Below Market Rate Affordable Housing Fund, and as well as the
Community Development Block Grant, specifically for capital housing
projects. This means capital infrastructure, public infrastructure,
public facilities, and of course, affordable housing.
500
01:03:50.930 --> 01:04:01.329
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): So right now, on screen, we have the two
amounts listed on the notebook as what we had available in the balance at
the time of the notebook, which was November.
501
01:04:02.400 --> 01:04:18.449
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Just as a reminder for everyone here,
public services are awarded on a two-year cycle. So last year, in 2025,
when we met, those funding recommendations are still in effect, and they
will be for the next upcoming year. So if you are a public service who
receives CDBG,
502
01:04:18.560 --> 01:04:25.310
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): HSG, POHA, the county funding, any of
those, you're good, right? You do not need to apply again.
503
01:04:25.430 --> 01:04:28.139
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Right now, it's just for the capital
housing projects.
504
01:04:29.890 --> 01:04:43.899
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): And then one more thing to take note, with
our upcoming BMR administrative agreement, we had direction from City
Council April 15, 2025, to budget our next BMR admin contract from the
General Fund, rather than the BMR Fund.
505
01:04:44.140 --> 01:04:58.199
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): And to use the BMR front for affordable
housing. So, one less cost to think about as we budget, right? So, what
does that mean for our reserve, right? Our balance at the time of
November was $1,100,000,
506
01:04:58.210 --> 01:05:09.809
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): In addition to that, we have to consider…
we're doing this for transparency, so you guys understand our budgeting
process. There's the final year, right, of our administration of the BMR
portfolio, which is $300,000.
507
01:05:10.440 --> 01:05:12.009
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): And after that, no more.
508
01:05:12.050 --> 01:05:21.140
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): And then, our current and next year of
Fair Housing Services, this goes to Project Sentinel, they investigate
cases of housing discrimination, basically.
509
01:05:21.140 --> 01:05:33.599
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): And so, for the current and next year of
that, $100,000 then. So, to budget for these encumbered services, we
highly recommend that the thumb keep a reserve $400,000, meaning we have
$700,000, basically, to award out.
510
01:05:33.600 --> 01:05:50.280
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, let's get into our staff
recommendations. We took into account your commission evaluations at the
time that they were due, and then we also weighed into, kind of, what was
available and the pressing needs that are outlined in our con plan, as
well as in our housing online, you know, direction from CSF, things like
that. So.
511
01:05:50.280 --> 01:05:54.189
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): First, we did receive an application from
Project Central
512
01:05:54.190 --> 01:06:08.709
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): fair housing activities for another year.
Technically, they were not required to do this, but we want to show that
in response to their application, we are recommending that they be
awarded another contract of $50,000 for fair housing enforcement to
investigate cases of housing discrimination.
513
01:06:10.050 --> 01:06:24.479
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): All right, next, the CDBG Capital Housing
Awards. We had two applicants this year within this category, the first
being Rebuilding Together Silicon Valley for low-income rehabilitation,
right, and homeowners.
514
01:06:24.480 --> 01:06:32.580
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): They will previously award $107,000…
$107,500, sorry.
515
01:06:32.580 --> 01:06:37.499
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): And so we are recommending that they get
awarded the same amount again per their request.
516
01:06:37.500 --> 01:06:50.309
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): And then additionally, I received a second
application from West Valley Community Services for rehabilitation at the
Vista Village Apartments for the rehabilitation of 3 units in their
bathrooms and their kitchens.
517
01:06:50.310 --> 01:07:07.130
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): They requested $160,000 for this request,
and as you can see, we had $288,042 in this category, so just enough. We
are recommending fully awarding both of these contracts for their
requested.
518
01:07:07.320 --> 01:07:08.310
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Awards.
519
01:07:11.150 --> 01:07:30.339
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): All right, the last category we have is
for the BMR Affordable Housing Fund. We had one application this year
from Eden Housing for the Wolf Road project. They were here last year.
Let me go ahead and read out their proposal for this benefit of this
clinician. There's 249 units.
520
01:07:30.410 --> 01:07:37.339
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Built across two phases. The first will
contain 101 units of mixed-income housing for school district employees.
521
01:07:38.460 --> 01:07:46.990
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Will contain also approximately 34 low-
income units and 67 moderate-income units.
522
01:07:47.950 --> 01:07:59.010
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): The second phase will contain 148 units
with 60 very low-income units, 86 low-income units, 2 manager units. So,
249 in total.
523
01:07:59.150 --> 01:08:18.560
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Last year, when they came to the Housing
Commission, we recommended that they be awarded $1,083,200. We have about
$700,000 to award up this year. We are recommending that we fund them
$666,880 to make it a total of $1.25 million in total.
524
01:08:19.350 --> 01:08:24.919
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): this would be pretty much the plurality,
sorry, of what we have remaining in the DMR fund.
525
01:08:25.529 --> 01:08:28.049
Quinlan Conf Room: So we choose to support this project.
526
01:08:28.850 --> 01:08:44.760
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, recommendation contingency, just for
this commission to know, this is not preempt, right, them getting
planning entitlement, right? These are… these projects are recommended
for commitment of funds, which will become awards contingent upon
planning entitlement.
527
01:08:44.890 --> 01:08:58.619
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): And second, this is not the end if… if
they need to come back again, right? If there are additional funds in the
future that are received during this application process, or sometime in
the future, we may award additional funds at a future housing commission.
528
01:09:01.120 --> 01:09:15.699
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, at this point, we have some people in
attendance who applied to the NOFA. We like to open it up for them to
give just a short 3-minute presentation describing, you know, their
service, the need that they fill, to the Housing Commission.
529
01:09:26.649 --> 01:09:29.389
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): Tell me to do with a timer on my phone? .
530
01:09:30.670 --> 01:09:33.120
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): I'm screaming right now.
531
01:09:33.250 --> 01:09:36.300
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): First of all, raise hands, how many people
do we have who want to do a presentation?
532
01:09:37.770 --> 01:09:41.589
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): 4? Okay, yeah, four, yeah, we can do 3
minutes each, that's fine.
533
01:09:45.450 --> 01:09:46.910
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): You won't be down there.
534
01:09:47.460 --> 01:09:54.739
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): I… I don't know how it works. I'll have
to… I'll have to defer. Yeah. She's… she's asking if she comes down here.
535
01:09:54.740 --> 01:09:55.850
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): The end of something?
536
01:09:56.175 --> 01:09:58.044
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Just stand and talk. Oh, you don't need
the.
537
01:09:58.050 --> 01:10:01.950
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): Blue card, if that's what you… No, because
you're on the agenda item.
538
01:10:03.010 --> 01:10:08.149
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): Oh, you want to disconnect? I can all turn
it off. Turn it on. Okay.
539
01:10:08.155 --> 01:10:08.935
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): Let's…
540
01:10:08.935 --> 01:10:18.845
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): start over here. We've got the timer on
screen. You've got 3 minutes. Great. Good afternoon, or good evening. I'm
Deanne Everton with Rebuilding Together, Silicon Valley.
541
01:10:19.020 --> 01:10:26.829
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conf Room): I just want to thank you all for your
support for funding our critical home repair and safety modifications,
really for the last 20 years.
542
01:10:26.840 --> 01:10:46.570
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conf Room): Our community is most vulnerable, to our
need of home repair. You all have, collectively served about 175
households over that time, and those clients are at 80% of median income
or below, but most are around 30%, or right now it's about $40,000 a
year.
543
01:10:46.790 --> 01:10:49.069
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conf Room): Those are people who are choosing between
medicine.
544
01:10:49.070 --> 01:10:59.579
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): move, and overdue home repairs, and
safety modifications. We know that the condition of our home has a direct
impact on the health of the residents.
545
01:10:59.580 --> 01:11:09.139
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): Health is so greatly impacted by the
condition of a home that every dollar spent on urgent home repairs can
save $19 in Medicare and medical bills.
546
01:11:09.180 --> 01:11:11.570
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): So not only do the repairs be made.
547
01:11:11.720 --> 01:11:28.279
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): At no cost to the recipient, make those
tough daily choices a little easier, but they also generate a social
value for the homeowners, their families, the caregivers, the healthcare
system, and taxpayers, more generally, but far to pass the cost of the
repair.
548
01:11:29.180 --> 01:11:43.140
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): It's also proven that home preservation
is the best and most affordable housing option for many low-income
households, costing about 26 times more to build a new affordable housing
unit than to repair and sustainable.
549
01:11:44.410 --> 01:11:57.339
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): Rebuilding Together has committed the
last 35 years to preserving and protecting our current housing stock. Our
work of stabilizing homes supports generational wealth while reducing the
risk of displacement.
550
01:11:57.810 --> 01:12:02.900
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): In fact, 11% of our clients would likely
face homelessness without our services.
551
01:12:03.080 --> 01:12:13.530
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): Our work strengthens neighborhoods,
fosters connection, and preserves the cultural and economic diversity of
our region, all for a relatively low investment.
552
01:12:13.830 --> 01:12:19.580
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): While at the same time saving our
community costs that far surpass the cost of the repairs.
553
01:12:20.280 --> 01:12:23.390
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conf Room): Your support of Rebuilding Together
directly addresses.
554
01:12:23.390 --> 01:12:37.660
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): Cupertino's Consolidated Plan's number
one priority of preserving affordable housing through owner-occupied
rehabilitation. We, along with our neighbors and me, are grateful for
your continued support.
555
01:12:40.780 --> 01:12:41.690
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): Juno.
556
01:12:43.675 --> 01:12:46.774
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Let's leave questions for Commissioner
questions at the end.
557
01:12:48.885 --> 01:12:49.805
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Go ahead.
558
01:12:50.955 --> 01:12:56.495
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Thank you, Commissioners. Thank you,
staff, for your recommendation. My name is Sujantha Linkatram.
559
01:12:56.500 --> 01:13:00.469
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): And I'm the Executive Director of West
Valley Community Services.
560
01:13:00.470 --> 01:13:24.529
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): We are a local nonprofit serving low-
income families in Cupertino and other West Valley cities for 53 years.
We partner with… we bring together many of our families qualify for
services. It's low-income, extremely low-income people who are seniors on
face, and families who often, barely making enough in this valley because
of housing burden and cost of living.
561
01:13:24.600 --> 01:13:40.820
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): We applied for funding for our Vista
Village project. This is a 24 unit. It is a BMR unit. It is part of the
city's inventory. We are the property manager. The residents who live in
these units are extremely low, very low, and
562
01:13:40.860 --> 01:13:56.829
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): low-income individuals who are living and
working in Cupertino, seniors who are aging in place in Cupertino. We
applied for the repairs of three units. We have applied for the funding
in the past, and we have done all other units.
563
01:13:56.830 --> 01:14:21.169
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): through different funding, but these
three units have residents living, and in the last, 10 years, the
bathrooms and the kitchen needed more of attention, and that is the
funding we applied for to repair the bathrooms, make it more age-
friendly, for our residents, and also the kitchen. We applied for
$160,000, but we're leveraging funds we have
564
01:14:21.310 --> 01:14:37.070
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): other providers we work with for
appliances, like bringing in more green energy electrical appliances, and
hence, this funding will really help us with construction, repair costs,
and also relocation of the residents, because they are living there.
565
01:14:37.070 --> 01:14:45.460
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): And we have experience running a CVTG
contract, we've done it for many years, and we appreciate the support.
566
01:14:45.570 --> 01:14:48.879
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): City of Cupertino as being a long-time
partner, so thank you.
567
01:14:57.610 --> 01:15:00.030
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): Hi, good evening, I'm Carol Kahn, I'm the
Executive Director.
568
01:15:00.035 --> 01:15:07.214
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): Project Sentinel. We just crossed our 50-
year anniversary, and have been in the Cupertino community for many
years.
569
01:15:07.215 --> 01:15:12.625
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conf Room): Thank you again for the continuing
support and staff recommendations.
570
01:15:12.765 --> 01:15:27.505
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conf Room): We also leverage our funds through
federal and state funding as well, taking us closer to about $60,000 in
services. Product Sentinel, by way of a reminder around the nature of our
housing work, which is
571
01:15:27.595 --> 01:15:35.295
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conf Room): has, in fact, been getting some, pushback
and so on from the federal government under new guidelines, through HUD.
572
01:15:35.295 --> 01:15:39.774
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conf Room): But, we want to push a bearing under
other means to continue to do
573
01:15:39.775 --> 01:16:02.345
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conf Room): the complete work of fair housing, and
that includes, investigating housing complaints, just as Nikki had said,
administering audits and surveys, to probe for discriminatory practices
that may be happening in the application process for units. We conduct
community outreach and education, and then we simply redress predictions
of discrimination.
574
01:16:02.345 --> 01:16:20.955
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conf Room): The community outreach is both to inform
the public about, fair housing itself, to inform residents about the very
protections in place for them, and then also to educate providers about
fair housing to ensure compliance so that they don't get into the route.
575
01:16:20.955 --> 01:16:23.595
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conf Room): of an enforcement action.
576
01:16:23.615 --> 01:16:41.775
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conf Room): These services very much help to
stabilize housing, stabilize communities, and, will assist in meeting the
goals of the housing element, as well as further housing. And just to
round it out, on average, we process or investigate about 350 cases a
year.
577
01:16:41.775 --> 01:16:54.305
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conf Room): About 30-40% of those investigations come
to be resolved, and the tenancy is preserved. Sometimes, about 10-15% of
the time, those cases go through enforcement, and that's when
578
01:16:54.305 --> 01:17:02.194
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conf Room): Usually, we haven't been able to get the
property provider to acknowledge that they're out of compliance and
resolve the non-compliance.
579
01:17:02.195 --> 01:17:23.644
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, these projects, fair housing really
is one of the very many elemental pieces to solving for the housing
crisis, and affordable housing overall. We help to prevent illegal
evictions, homelessness, and, of our most vulnerable residents, which
includes seniors, veterans, people of different faiths.
580
01:17:23.655 --> 01:17:36.585
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conf Room): people with disabilities, survivors of
domestic violence, and other protective classes. So I just want to, in
closing, thank again the City of Virginia for its support for this
continued work. It's ever more important as we go forward.
581
01:17:42.885 --> 01:17:49.135
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conf Room): I'm gonna take 30 seconds. Good evening,
Commissioners and staff members of this.
582
01:17:49.140 --> 01:17:55.169
Speaker 15 (Quinlan Conf Room): City of Cupertino. My name is Dixie Baus.
I'm the Senior Director of Real Estate Development for Eden House.
583
01:17:55.660 --> 01:18:04.699
Speaker 15 (Quinlan Conf Room): And I'm here representing the Wolf Road
project. It's a 106-unit, 100% affordable housing family development in
San Francisco.
584
01:18:04.800 --> 01:18:11.409
Speaker 15 (Quinlan Conf Room): This is phase two of a larger, mixed-use
development that's sponsored by the County of St. Clair.
585
01:18:11.620 --> 01:18:26.070
Speaker 15 (Quinlan Conf Room): Phase 1, which will house teachers and
staff from nearby school districts, will be funded separately for this
project. We've made a lot of progress on the project since the city made
its initial award last year. If you remember the negotiations, we added
this table.
586
01:18:26.180 --> 01:18:36.820
Speaker 15 (Quinlan Conf Room): I'm hoping that our, camaraderies out
there are having some success out there. We submitted our formal planning
application and have gone through three rounds of planning review.
587
01:18:37.110 --> 01:18:40.769
Speaker 15 (Quinlan Conf Room): We had City Council's study session, just
last week.
588
01:18:40.960 --> 01:18:52.509
Speaker 15 (Quinlan Conf Room): Where the community and the Council was
very supportive in the targeting Planning Commission hearing, in late
April, early May to secure entitlements. We encourage all of you to
attend.
589
01:18:52.510 --> 01:19:04.119
Speaker 15 (Quinlan Conf Room): Mobile or in person, and all community
members as well. Once we have our entitlements, some will start applying
for other local, state, federal sources to leverage the city's
contribution and support.
590
01:19:04.180 --> 01:19:17.980
Speaker 15 (Quinlan Conf Room): This project will be highly competitive
since it's a large family project in a highest resource area, opportunity
area in the state. We plan to start construction by the end of next year.
It's ambitious, but why not, right?
591
01:19:18.170 --> 01:19:36.920
Speaker 15 (Quinlan Conf Room): We're excited about the project, and we
appreciate the Commission's continued support. Jared Nolan's online, he's
been the one who's been spearheading this effort for us, and can answer
any detailed questions you might ask. If you want fake answers, I can
provide those. Thank you so much.
592
01:19:43.380 --> 01:19:46.280
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): Open the Zoom for questions? Yes.
593
01:19:46.285 --> 01:19:53.034
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, with that, we're going to close the,
kind of, community presentations portion of this meeting, and we're going
to move
594
01:19:53.195 --> 01:19:56.024
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): to clarifying questions from the
Commission.
595
01:19:57.710 --> 01:20:02.240
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): Commissioners have questions for any of
the presenters? Oh, not for.
596
01:20:02.245 --> 01:20:03.805
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): presenters, sorry.
597
01:20:03.810 --> 01:20:06.369
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Buddy, yeah, questions for anyone?
598
01:20:07.020 --> 01:20:16.879
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): My question was going to be for, the
recommendations that we were making for… well, maybe one is for the…
Anyway, my question is this. My question is this, that,
599
01:20:17.000 --> 01:20:18.320
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): for,
600
01:20:18.680 --> 01:20:35.470
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Sentinel Housing, Project Sentinel. I know
you do, outreach on that, and I was wondering how much more you would
require in order to do, say, a monthly training, at the library or
something, so that there's regular information out there for everyone, so
that
601
01:20:36.270 --> 01:20:42.359
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): they're more likely to know where to go.
And I was asking that question because,
602
01:20:42.360 --> 01:20:56.639
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): I know I saw that your proposal was
$52,000, and that we're recommending $50,000, and I was thinking, because
of the below-market rate affordable housing fund having perhaps a little
more,
603
01:20:56.970 --> 01:21:11.000
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): funding available that we could provide
that. And so, I guess it was both to you as a what might that be, what
might that cost be, and then, of course, to the city as to considering, a
bump-up on that.
604
01:21:11.780 --> 01:21:20.530
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yeah, thank you so much for that
question. We'd be more than happy to do a monthly, regular workshop
session. That's usually what we style these to be.
605
01:21:20.535 --> 01:21:22.014
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): already contracted an abuse.
606
01:21:22.015 --> 01:21:29.725
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conf Room): proposed funds for four presentations a
year, workshops, so that's once a quarter. So we would… $1,000.
607
01:21:29.730 --> 01:21:30.540
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): on another page.
608
01:21:30.545 --> 01:21:42.464
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conf Room): You know, from here. And it's generally
around $800 per, consider materials, stuff, time, presentation, travel,
miles, so…
609
01:21:42.865 --> 01:21:46.405
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conf Room): But it's… it's fairly modest, you know.
610
01:21:46.925 --> 01:21:48.514
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conf Room): For well-foiled machinism.
611
01:21:48.515 --> 01:21:55.155
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): that way, and pieced together with the
coordination of our… Any other restrictions?
612
01:21:55.305 --> 01:21:58.755
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Thank you, thank you. I have a couple of
questions for.
613
01:21:58.770 --> 01:22:13.439
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): Project Sentinel. Yes. Do you collaborate
with apartment, landlords, and so forth? How do you identify that there
are people within a complex needing your service?
614
01:22:13.440 --> 01:22:26.249
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conf Room): a few different ways that we've handled
the outreach. One is the brochure drops in different ways. Often, and
we're neutral in the sense that a landlord call us, and receive
615
01:22:26.700 --> 01:22:35.629
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conf Room): counseling on their rights and
responsibilities. From there, educating landlords is actually a top
priority, partly because there are so many mom-and-pop.
616
01:22:35.635 --> 01:22:37.895
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): What we call mom and pop landlords.
617
01:22:37.895 --> 01:22:39.005
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): following books.
618
01:22:39.010 --> 01:22:42.410
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conf Room): That don't necessarily have the benefit,
like…
619
01:22:42.415 --> 01:22:45.995
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Any long legacies of managing a property.
620
01:22:46.395 --> 01:22:47.445
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): So…
621
01:22:48.090 --> 01:22:56.049
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conf Room): We get the word out in various numbers of
ways for, islands. We've done everything from around nailers.
622
01:22:56.055 --> 01:22:56.795
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): profit and break.
623
01:22:56.800 --> 01:22:59.049
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conf Room): We're just laughing and lots of stones.
624
01:22:59.055 --> 01:23:01.605
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, you know, wherever the friends come.
625
01:23:01.610 --> 01:23:04.310
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conf Room): How many records there are in a given
area.
626
01:23:04.315 --> 01:23:05.035
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): whistle.
627
01:23:05.215 --> 01:23:05.834
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Property Manage.
628
01:23:05.835 --> 01:23:11.095
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conf Room): or the landlord. We've also done
workshops specifically oriented to landlord.
629
01:23:11.435 --> 01:23:12.575
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): So…
630
01:23:12.575 --> 01:23:16.505
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conf Room): About your information, their volunteers,
and, bureaucracy.
631
01:23:17.185 --> 01:23:18.305
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conf Room): Perfection.
632
01:23:18.425 --> 01:23:25.374
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conf Room): Those seem to be fairly effective. What
we also find is that, when we're talking about.
633
01:23:25.375 --> 01:23:29.755
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): I think we still have councils, legal
counsel, so they may not turn to partnership.
634
01:23:30.015 --> 01:23:35.804
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Our ratio is about two-thirds tenants on.
635
01:23:36.065 --> 01:23:38.225
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Which I was the phone calls, definitely.
636
01:23:38.395 --> 01:23:39.605
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Thank you.
637
01:23:39.900 --> 01:23:43.350
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): I have questions for Eden Housing.
638
01:23:45.100 --> 01:23:52.519
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): your, the… there was a cost estimate in
your application for the whole project.
639
01:23:52.650 --> 01:23:54.440
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, when was that done?
640
01:23:54.880 --> 01:24:14.130
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): I'm sorry. There was a cost estimate
included in your application for the whole project, the construction, it
had a whole lot of line items. The question was, when was that done, and
did it account for inflation? Because I believe that was the same thing
that was given to us last year, so…
641
01:24:14.270 --> 01:24:19.829
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): is a… I did not see a line item for
inflation, so did that account for it?
642
01:24:20.440 --> 01:24:23.629
Speaker 15 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yeah, you know, typically when projects
are in,
643
01:24:23.630 --> 01:24:46.680
Speaker 15 (Quinlan Conf Room): entitlement stage. They're not in a
advanced stage of design. They stay within the schematic design, and so
there's not very much changing there. The numbers don't change because
there's nothing to bid out at the thing. So, right now, what we see in
the market is we see a decrease in material price… an increase in
material, a decrease in labor, it just kind of evens out.
644
01:24:46.680 --> 01:25:04.240
Speaker 15 (Quinlan Conf Room): Same thing on the equity. You see an
increase in equity, an increase in there. It really is kind of like just
throwing the dice up against the wall right now, and… but it is in line
with what we've got with our other projects that are being, built right
now and under construction, and in line with that. Okay. Yeah.
645
01:25:06.730 --> 01:25:10.400
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): I have a couple of questions. Let me
finish with the presenters.
646
01:25:10.740 --> 01:25:12.850
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): for, Silicon Valley.
647
01:25:14.460 --> 01:25:19.809
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): the seven households, you said, right? So
this is in Cupertino.
648
01:25:20.680 --> 01:25:27.320
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): And is it, different how seven households
every year? How are they chosen, and
649
01:25:27.610 --> 01:25:35.829
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): And why is there a cap at 7 households?
Well, it's just an estimate of how many we think we could do with that
funding.
650
01:25:35.835 --> 01:25:42.345
Speaker 16 (Quinlan Conf Room): Sometimes we have 6, sometimes it's 8 or
9, it just depends, you know, it depends also on the…
651
01:25:42.805 --> 01:25:49.494
Speaker 16 (Quinlan Conf Room): That they need. But they, they apply to
us, and we qualify them on a first-come, first-served basis.
652
01:25:49.810 --> 01:25:52.299
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yes, I'm sure that…
653
01:25:52.305 --> 01:26:02.085
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): Again, you're tracking, like, which
household you're doing repair in one year, and so it's all different
households every year. Yes, okay.
654
01:26:03.155 --> 01:26:08.435
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay, like, the cost was coming to, like,
$15,000 per house.
655
01:26:08.925 --> 01:26:11.095
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yes. So what kind of repairs?
656
01:26:11.255 --> 01:26:12.644
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): We do anything.
657
01:26:12.645 --> 01:26:18.415
Speaker 16 (Quinlan Conf Room): From roof replacements, all the way down
to putting in a grab bar, or…
658
01:26:18.655 --> 01:26:32.374
Speaker 16 (Quinlan Conf Room): you know, and rail, so they're very
intuitive, so it depends on what that home needs. We go in and we do an
assessment based on a 25 healthy housing priority list that we look at to
make sure the home is safe.
659
01:26:32.545 --> 01:26:36.005
Speaker 16 (Quinlan Conf Room): thrive… That's.
660
01:26:36.005 --> 01:26:36.715
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): payment history.
661
01:26:36.720 --> 01:26:44.460
Speaker 16 (Quinlan Conf Room): And so, we used that group to evaluate
them all, really, identify the repairs, And then we try to.
662
01:26:44.465 --> 01:26:46.125
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yes.
663
01:26:46.385 --> 01:26:49.024
Speaker 16 (Quinlan Conf Room): judicial as we can about how much consent
for…
664
01:26:49.700 --> 01:26:53.439
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): But these are all ownership, owned homes,
right? Ownership.
665
01:26:54.310 --> 01:26:55.780
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): Single-family homes.
666
01:26:56.270 --> 01:27:01.079
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): Single homes in Cupertino, yes. This is
all single-family homes in Cupertino.
667
01:27:02.020 --> 01:27:07.230
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay. Questions? I have a question.
668
01:27:07.460 --> 01:27:07.990
Speaker 17 (Quinlan Conf Room): I was…
669
01:27:07.995 --> 01:27:14.425
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): pushing the presenters to the last one,
and then we will move, yeah. For West Valley.
670
01:27:14.845 --> 01:27:28.274
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): The building was built in 2002, and we're
asking for $50,000 per unit repair. That's pretty high for a recently
built building. Yeah, so it is eventually built for CBD.
671
01:27:28.275 --> 01:27:46.725
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): you have to contract through CDBG
contractor, which comes under what's Davis Baker. The price increases. So
we can't just hire a general contractor to do the work. CBG has specific
requirements to go through CDBG-approved contractor.
672
01:27:46.845 --> 01:27:58.225
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): And these units have been… people have
been living in it, so as you know, the usage of that lines up, so that's
why the kitchen and the bathroom are always interested.
673
01:27:58.900 --> 01:28:06.659
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): So it's more of a renovation than repair.
It's not really repair, it's a new building. Yeah. Okay.
674
01:28:07.300 --> 01:28:17.539
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, for clarity, when you're doing, like,
a fully bidded-out construction project with federal funds, there's a
procurement process that, number one, requires you to use prevailing
wage.
675
01:28:17.720 --> 01:28:19.279
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): She fuses across.
676
01:28:19.760 --> 01:28:34.989
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): there's all… there's a formal bidding that
you have to do with advertising. Got to the unions, and, like, you do
Section 3 for workers, and so… it's a lot more expensive than if you were
to use, you know, cash money.
677
01:28:35.730 --> 01:28:36.570
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yeah.
678
01:28:37.620 --> 01:28:40.730
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): I mean, the agencies have done it,
because they did a lot of work.
679
01:28:40.730 --> 01:28:58.140
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): Right, so this… the $50,000 per unit is
not just the construction work, it's also for, you said those people will
be displayed, so you have to provide, yes, there's money. That money is
used for that, too. Okay, I'm done with my questions. I'll give others a
chance to ask questions.
680
01:28:58.780 --> 01:29:00.850
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): I'm choosing them.
681
01:29:01.070 --> 01:29:14.480
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): I was wondering, do you have the workers
who volunteer their time to make those repairs, or you just hire regular
professionals who do that for a living?
682
01:29:14.485 --> 01:29:15.195
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): Both.
683
01:29:15.585 --> 01:29:20.775
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, we… it depends on the repair, but up
to you, the homeowner might have a.
684
01:29:20.780 --> 01:29:22.100
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conf Room): Roofing contractor, Dominic.
685
01:29:22.105 --> 01:29:22.744
Speaker 16 (Quinlan Conf Room): they're going forward.
686
01:29:23.480 --> 01:29:27.519
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): And we would have a group of volunteers
come in and do a little more volunteer-friendly type work.
687
01:29:27.525 --> 01:29:28.004
Speaker 16 (Quinlan Conf Room): Like, maybe?
688
01:29:28.005 --> 01:29:31.445
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): virtuiar, you know, mine was severe, so…
689
01:29:33.920 --> 01:29:38.199
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): Would that be similar to, like, Habitat
for Humanity to collaborate with them, or…
690
01:29:38.840 --> 01:29:42.700
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): Do collaborate with them,
691
01:29:43.370 --> 01:29:47.019
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conf Room): Not making the way you think, but they…
692
01:29:47.020 --> 01:29:52.010
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): They have, they have access to funds, for
home repair.
693
01:29:52.010 --> 01:29:53.559
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conf Room): And, they…
694
01:29:53.560 --> 01:29:59.920
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): give… they pass those funds to us to do
the work. But,
695
01:30:00.110 --> 01:30:04.739
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): Those funds right now are specific to
mobile phones, and so.
696
01:30:04.745 --> 01:30:06.594
Speaker 16 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, there are multiple parts of the.
697
01:30:06.600 --> 01:30:09.109
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): as an event this brings to Cleveland.
698
01:30:12.410 --> 01:30:23.059
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): I just wanted to thank all of you for
coming. Actually, you know already what you applied for is being
recommended to be given to you. You still took the time to
699
01:30:23.330 --> 01:30:32.309
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): just educate the public, educate us,
you've made yourself available to us questions, so thank you for showing
up later.
700
01:30:32.480 --> 01:30:35.330
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): I second lost. Thank you so much.
701
01:30:35.760 --> 01:30:39.850
Speaker 18 (Quinlan Conf Room): Any other questions?
702
01:30:39.855 --> 01:30:42.115
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): to be in the office.
703
01:30:42.115 --> 01:30:43.984
Speaker 18 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay, thank you.
704
01:30:43.990 --> 01:30:46.200
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): Thank you so much for coming.
705
01:30:46.200 --> 01:31:00.629
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): If there are no other questions from
Commissioner Shapathy or Jules, then I do have another question. My
question is, the recommendation that you're making, that the City is
making for Eden Housing is,
706
01:31:00.630 --> 01:31:11.220
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): less than the $700,000 that is available,
and I was just wondering why… why that would be, because they could
probably use the extra funding, yes. Sure, I mean.
707
01:31:11.375 --> 01:31:30.565
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): whenever we budget, right, there's always,
like, that little contingency where you wonder what if something that we
haven't accounted for in our budget, and then all of a sudden we're
short. It's a small enough amount that, like, I don't think it would
really tip the scale in terms of, like, them getting tax credits or
anything, but it would make the difference if we had, like, a contract
that we
708
01:31:30.565 --> 01:31:36.285
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): I was like, oh, we do need to pay that
this year, right? And then, yeah, so that's… that's why, just…
709
01:31:36.285 --> 01:31:40.035
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay, it just seems such a small amount.
Right.
710
01:31:40.040 --> 01:31:44.190
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): It's contingency, basically. Yeah. Okay.
Thank you. Yeah.
711
01:31:45.940 --> 01:31:49.759
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): That's all my questions as well. Anybody
else have questions?
712
01:31:52.450 --> 01:31:55.159
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): Pass a motion to approve the funding
recommend?
713
01:31:55.165 --> 01:31:56.254
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): Welcome back to the public.
714
01:31:56.255 --> 01:31:57.445
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Oh, the public?
715
01:31:57.445 --> 01:31:59.015
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yeah.
716
01:31:59.135 --> 01:32:00.995
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): We have no speakers, Chair.
717
01:32:01.800 --> 01:32:06.020
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Correct.
718
01:32:06.025 --> 01:32:13.064
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): So you approve the funding recommendations
as recommended by the staff for CDBG and BMR, In the election.
719
01:32:13.065 --> 01:32:14.365
Speaker 18 (Quinlan Conf Room): Which is…
720
01:32:14.660 --> 01:32:24.320
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): I would like to make a friendly amendment,
which is that we add funding of $1,600 to the amount that was requested
by,
721
01:32:25.570 --> 01:32:36.450
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Project Sentinel, but I also was thinking
about that extra, you know, the $2,000 is already not provided. It's…
Would you like to speak to that, please?
722
01:32:37.250 --> 01:32:38.919
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): I just realized that.
723
01:32:38.925 --> 01:32:42.224
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conf Room): We have made a proposal under the 52,
which included the four.
724
01:32:42.230 --> 01:32:42.700
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): and all.
725
01:32:42.705 --> 01:32:43.434
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conf Room): other different.
726
01:32:43.440 --> 01:32:45.300
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): deliverables, and so for.
727
01:32:45.300 --> 01:32:48.750
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conf Room): We're gonna add on, she's gonna start
from not 50, but.
728
01:32:49.020 --> 01:33:00.379
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Well, that's what I was thinking, too,
that you would… yeah, that you would… plus the $1,600, so that's what my
friendly amendment would be, that we add that funding.
729
01:33:00.770 --> 01:33:03.479
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): 54 is what you're asking for, basically? I
don't know.
730
01:33:03.485 --> 01:33:09.045
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): What is that much? 2,000-something? Could
you give me the number and I'll add it.
731
01:33:09.805 --> 01:33:11.985
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Because I… I…
732
01:33:11.985 --> 01:33:12.745
Speaker 18 (Quinlan Conf Room): I'm tracking.
733
01:33:12.745 --> 01:33:16.785
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): 2 plus 1E6… Is it about 50, about 54.
734
01:33:18.315 --> 01:33:22.715
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): It will be applied for 52574.
735
01:33:23.840 --> 01:33:37.050
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): 574 plus… No, 52. Yeah, 52574, plus 1600
would be 53. Now, this way, Connie.
736
01:33:37.860 --> 01:33:45.409
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): 54,174. That's my friendly amendment to
add the $54,000 for Project Sentinel.
737
01:33:46.730 --> 01:33:47.889
Quinlan Conf Room: We have a sec.
738
01:33:51.660 --> 01:33:55.280
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay, we have a motion and a second.

745
01:34:14.610 --> 01:34:16.100

sure I get it right. Oh, sure. The 5417. Actually, I'll… Alright, yep,
so, just so we all know, next steps is we take this to City Council,
right? As always, they have… right?
747
01:34:30.790 --> 01:34:39.410
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): And then, we'll be back in May for all
these, numbers to be in the action plan for your guys' submittal 5.
748
01:34:40.530 --> 01:34:42.100
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Let's move down the agenda.
749
01:34:44.650 --> 01:34:48.500
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): Staff and next agenda item is staff and
commission reports.
750
01:34:49.110 --> 01:34:51.829
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): We have one staff apart. Evelyn, you want
to go ahead?
751
01:34:52.440 --> 01:35:03.509
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Oh, yes, so we have some certificates of
recognition from the City Council Awards, a few months ago, so don't
sneak out of here without me getting just to you.
752
01:35:03.960 --> 01:35:11.709
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): These were meant to be presented at the
Crest Awards, but if you guys remember, they were, like, they were, like,
they were, like, just the folder. Yeah, that's fun.
753
01:35:11.715 --> 01:35:18.145
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yeah, so I have these, guys. Thanks.
754
01:35:19.130 --> 01:35:22.929
Quinlan Conf Room: Next agenda, future agenda setting.
755
01:35:28.280 --> 01:35:30.399
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): Oh, that is anything?
756
01:35:30.405 --> 01:35:34.905
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): I mean, if you guys have any other
recommendations, I think we kind of talked about that.
757
01:35:35.175 --> 01:35:40.475
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): I think the thing that we talked about
earlier was the work plan. We wanted to specifically.
758
01:35:40.635 --> 01:35:43.925
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yeah. There's a VMware manual study
session.
759
01:35:43.925 --> 01:35:48.585
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): And I'll be emailing you, as shared to how
we scheduled that. Okay. Yeah.
760
01:35:48.590 --> 01:35:52.880
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): So are we adding these as future agenda
items? Or…
761
01:35:54.590 --> 01:35:59.879
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): We kind of covered that in the work plan,
where they're, like, tied into our work plan, and so…
762
01:36:00.100 --> 01:36:04.560
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Well, yeah, I mean, we could rewrite it
again if you want. Okay, so…
763
01:36:04.830 --> 01:36:13.899
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): included as a picture in the study? Yeah.
So, what was the first item? So, it's… it's a study session on the
Housing Mitigation Manual.
764
01:36:14.090 --> 01:36:18.150
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Just, like, how it works, because we are
going to be talking about, basically, the fees there.
765
01:36:18.260 --> 01:36:21.510
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yeah, for updates on this. Okay, and I was
supposed to.
766
01:36:21.515 --> 01:36:24.984
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): by sharing a writing, right? Yep.
767
01:36:24.985 --> 01:36:26.485
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): That was Cunningham.
768
01:36:26.485 --> 01:36:29.035
Speaker 18 (Quinlan Conf Room): I don't know if I would share, but…
769
01:36:29.750 --> 01:36:31.440
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yeah, be fine.
770
01:36:31.580 --> 01:36:33.420
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): And then…
771
01:36:33.420 --> 01:36:39.320
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): For the future item, that somebody's…
Somebody's seconded.
772
01:36:39.320 --> 01:36:42.440
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): Under the third item, the housing…
773
01:36:43.120 --> 01:36:44.020
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): The group.
774
01:36:44.020 --> 01:36:46.829
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): The Wolf plan is supposed to… Yeah, but
it's a future…
775
01:36:46.835 --> 01:36:49.625
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): item, right? So, I see that.
776
01:36:49.835 --> 01:36:50.895
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay, okay.
777
01:36:50.895 --> 01:36:52.465
Speaker 18 (Quinlan Conf Room): That's like going through.
778
01:36:53.970 --> 01:36:57.350
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay, and then what was the second item?
That's it. That's the item.
779
01:37:03.590 --> 01:37:07.220
Speaker 18 (Quinlan Conf Room): Let me talk to y'all about this. But
anyway.
780
01:37:07.940 --> 01:37:15.630
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yes. Did you want to have a, notes from
the meeting that… share a video.
781
01:37:15.750 --> 01:37:18.480
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): leadership roles, and yeah.
782
01:37:19.000 --> 01:37:26.900
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay, so, she, Mayor, More is… An active
month.
783
01:37:27.120 --> 01:37:28.470
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): There's,
784
01:37:28.520 --> 01:37:47.680
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): So it was quite interesting to listen to
her as we went through. For instance, I'll just talk about the audit
committee, for instance, that the topics that they gave, city cash
investments, as well as pension and old trusts and other audit
recommendations, that they're,
785
01:37:47.680 --> 01:37:52.110
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): That they're making steady progress on
them, that they're stable, and so,
786
01:37:52.110 --> 01:38:08.229
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): that's… that was excellent to hear,
because I know there's been lots of issues in audits, and that they're
kind of working their way through all those things, so that was all very
good news, and she was positive to that. As far as arts and culture, they
do a lot of things.
787
01:38:08.230 --> 01:38:13.550
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, an interesting thing is that… well,
unfortunately, it's passed, right? It's March 20th.
788
01:38:13.550 --> 01:38:23.359
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): They're going to, be choosing the, artwork
for Bianchi Way, the townhome book there on Bianchi Way.
789
01:38:23.690 --> 01:38:25.860
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Excuse me.
790
01:38:27.210 --> 01:38:38.940
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Bike Ped, they have several things they're
doing, but one right in front of City Hall, they are going to be doing
some upgrade of that parking area where you can move in.
791
01:38:38.970 --> 01:38:55.089
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): I mean, drop your books and stuff, because
it's, kind of scary, apparently, for bicyclists, so they're going to be
working on that, plus some… but just so you're aware of that, for those
of you who are bicyclists… bicyclists? And also, Mayor, Moore wants the
792
01:38:55.320 --> 01:39:01.910
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): S-r-t-s… Safe Routes to School. Safe
Routes to School to Move Under Bike Ped.
793
01:39:01.910 --> 01:39:22.209
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): I don't know how it's organized now, but
that's what she wants to have happen, and so that's apparently what
they're working towards, is moving those two together. Under the Economic
Development Committee, they're thinking of different ways to increase
taxes, so that we have more funding. You know, you're probably all aware
that our budget is in some difficulties these days.
794
01:39:22.210 --> 01:39:30.259
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): The Housing Commission, they showed quite
a bit of interest, and, she was talking about,
795
01:39:30.600 --> 01:39:35.040
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): how we get… how the BMR award…
796
01:39:36.060 --> 01:39:45.619
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): BMR, Affordable Housing Fund, how it gets
funded, and all that. And I was glad to see how you put together a
presentation on that, because
797
01:39:45.620 --> 01:40:06.880
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): She made… she made a couple of comments
about, like, where money came from, like, say, Mary Avenue, and I don't
think anything comes from Mary Avenue, because that's 100% affordable.
That being said, it's really important that people understand where that
money comes from and where it goes to, because apparently a lot of
questions get asked, and so that was good, and she had brought that up at
that meeting, and
798
01:40:06.880 --> 01:40:11.199
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Just for the record, she also gave that,
talk to,
799
01:40:11.320 --> 01:40:19.109
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): her most recent Coffee Clatch, which she
also held here, not coffee clads, that makes it sound, but, you know…
800
01:40:19.115 --> 01:40:19.885
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yeah, he's muted.
801
01:40:19.885 --> 01:40:30.054
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): She had that here at Quinlan Center, and
also made that presentation there. So it's important to have that
information available, and I was glad to see that.
802
01:40:35.145 --> 01:40:49.145
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Parks and Rec had their community funding
grants put. I don't know how much from, but to $32,000, so that was
disappointing for them, but they still have a lot of that money that
they're going to be providing.
803
01:40:51.035 --> 01:40:54.205
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): The Planning Commission talked about
their,
804
01:40:54.305 --> 01:41:07.375
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): meeting that they went to, as far as the
Planning Commissioners Academy, it sounded fascinating. It'd be nice to
have a Housing Commissioner's Academy as well, because you do learn a lot
about, what the current status of,
805
01:41:07.375 --> 01:41:17.274
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): the law is, and so forth, and I think… and
I think our visitor, Commissioner Sharif… I went. There's 46 new housing
laws coming. Yes.
806
01:41:17.275 --> 01:41:19.025
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, it was, it was…
807
01:41:19.115 --> 01:41:26.795
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): so we… we could benefit from that too,
but… but certainly, it's good that our Planning Commission is.
808
01:41:27.085 --> 01:41:33.645
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Let's see… they also weighed in on the
active transportation plan, for those of you who have been following
that.
809
01:41:37.815 --> 01:41:45.035
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay, they responded on the health and
safety element, but that being said… Oh, whoa!
810
01:41:46.355 --> 01:41:52.525
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): The Commission asked to incorporate more
supply-side recommendations from the evacuation study.
811
01:41:52.625 --> 01:42:05.055
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): and heat safety information into the draft
revision, so when you see it come back out, it might have those things if
you were specifically concerned about that, that particular study.
812
01:42:06.235 --> 01:42:18.044
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): These… I didn't get particular notes, but
Earth Day is coming up, and the Sustainability Commission, will be
tabling at Earth Day.
813
01:42:18.215 --> 01:42:20.985
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): And the Cherry Blossoming Festival.
814
01:42:21.235 --> 01:42:26.934
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Teen Commission, it's always fun to hear
from the Teen Commission, but in any case.
815
01:42:27.205 --> 01:42:29.924
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): They're doing very well. And…
816
01:42:31.310 --> 01:42:35.550
Speaker 18 (Quinlan Conf Room): Doesn't have permission? Pardon? Doesn't
have permission.
817
01:42:35.555 --> 01:42:47.304
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Oh, it's been a while. It's been around
for a while. It's really, it's really, they've got, like, 7 or 9 members,
as opposed to we have 5. They're very active. They…
818
01:42:47.465 --> 01:42:56.504
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): They do a number of things. These just
talked about receiving presentations, but they're actively doing things
all fall during the year.
819
01:42:56.765 --> 01:43:01.925
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): you're gonna enjoy those meetings. They're
very… they're informative and interesting.
820
01:43:02.885 --> 01:43:19.644
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, oh, like, for instance, there's a teen
speaker series, a teen splash bash, and pizza and politics. They really
are learning a lot. It's wonderful to see our young people involved in
it, because it's not too long before they'll be voting, and we would
really want to have them voting at all levels.
821
01:43:19.645 --> 01:43:24.305
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Including city. That's… it's hard to get
people out voting for, local.
822
01:43:24.495 --> 01:43:26.865
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Technology…
823
01:43:27.175 --> 01:43:39.495
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yeah, I think we just have to have you
send that to them, because I'm not quite sure what all of this meant.
Anyway, that's technology from me. So anyway, I just wanted to share
those.
824
01:43:39.635 --> 01:43:40.505
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): problems.
825
01:43:40.775 --> 01:43:41.775
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Mayor's meeting.
826
01:43:41.895 --> 01:43:43.325
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Thank you.
827
01:43:43.980 --> 01:43:44.580
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Thank you.
828
01:43:44.800 --> 01:43:47.219
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): That's all. Do we have any further
announcements?
829
01:43:49.250 --> 01:43:50.209
Quinlan Conf Room: No, that?
830
01:43:50.640 --> 01:43:53.479
Quinlan Conf Room: Doing them, you can, you can choose to adjourn them.
831
01:43:54.700 --> 01:44:04.749
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, call the meeting, Major? At, 7.14 and
36 seconds. Perfect.
