A
A
Affordable
housing,
Advisory
Board,
is
called
to
order
on
July
12
2022.

The
agenda

today's
meeting
is
on
the
wall
at
the

of
Chambers.
Please

off
your
cell

action.
We

your
last
name

the

here.
Robin.
A
A
A
second
I'll,
second,
all
in
favor
any
opposed
I
mean
it's
Harper
item
three
is
citizens
to
be
heard
regarding
items
not
on
the
agenda?
Is
there
anyone
here
to
speak
to
items
not
on
today's
agenda?
A
D
Thank
you
truck
lane,
the
assistant
director
of
the
economic
development
housing
department.
This
is
obviously
one
of
the
more
important
things
we
do
throughout
the
course
of
the
year.
It's
you
know.
Our
annual
action
plan
is
our
annual
election
plan
for
our
fund
for
our
federal
funds
and
it
budgets
all
the
funds
that
we
have.
We
have
to
have
this
in
place,
so
we
cannot
spend
the
funds
so
the
process
that
starts
in
basically
February
and
we
start
taking
applications
in
and
it
runs
right
is
this.
Is
it
coming
up
here?
Yeah.
C
D
October
1
is
when
they
can
begin
so
just
to
kind
of
roll
through
some
of
this
stuff-
and
we
talked
about
it
at
our
last
meeting,
because
what
you
did
is
you
approved
the
the
recommended
staff
recommended
funding
allocations.
Now,
there's
been
some
a
slight
change
that
I'll
explain
that
in
a
moment,
but
but
you
can
see
we,
we
spend
a
good
deal
of
our
funds
on
on
public
facilities
projects
and
it's
a
pretty
effective
thing
for
nonprofits,
because
a
lot
of
the
funding
they
get
is
for
operations.
D
You
know
to
help,
for
example,
replace
a
a
failing
elevator.
It's
not
a
sexy
thing
to
do
in
terms
of
funding,
but
it's
something
that's
necessary
and
that's
where
our
funds
kind
of
come
into
play.
So
you
can
see
the
Community
Kitchen
St
Vincent,
Paul,
Community,
Kitchen,
Resource
Center,
there's
going
to
be
upgrades
there
homeless,
emergency
project,
that's
an
analysis
of
an
HVAC
HVAC
system
in
one
of
the
permanent
Supportive
Housing
facilities.
I
wasn't
sure
that
was
going
to
be
an
eligible
project
just
to
analyze.
D
The
system
to
see
what
we
can
do
and
what
needs
to
happen,
but
it
is
in
fact
eligible
so
I
expect
a
project
in
Mexico
the
results
of
those
two
facilities
with
our
club
and
one
in
the
Gateway
downtown
Gateway
One
in
downtown
they're,
going
to
upgrade
their
hvacs
to
help
prevent
the
covert
virus
from
from
spreading
that's
going
to
be
funded
with
cdbg
CV
funds
Hep
at
their
at
their
site,
down
near
St
Vincent
de
Paul
Community
Kitchen
Resource,
Center
they're,
going
to
upgrade
that
directions
for
the
living.
D
That's
the
elevator
Improvement
I
mentioned
earlier
they're
a
frequent
flyer
with
our
they
do
a
lot
of
work
for
homeless
in
our
community.
As
you
all
know,
Clearwater
Neighborhood,
Housing
Services
they're,
going
to
have
improve
their
their
facility
on
North
Garden,
Ave,
608,
North,
Garden,
Ave
and
Clearwater
MLK
Junior
Neighborhood
Center.
That's
the
MLK
Center
over
by
the
ATP
campus.
It's
going
to
be
phase
two
of
a
roof
replacement
for
them
over
there
and
then
the
city
of
Clearwater
Rush,
Norton
playground.
D
We
may
move
that
to
cdbg
CV
when
that
gets
started,
we'll
see
how
that
goes.
There's
a
good
portion
of
cdbg
CV
money
that
we
need
to
spend
down
prior
to
next
June,
so
we're
going
to
kind
of
focus
on
that.
So
we
may
move
that
later
in
the
year
and
then
we
we
keep
some
money
aside
for
for
projects
that
might
come
through
the
course
of
the
year.
It
could
be
a
city
project.
D
It
could
be
a
non-profit
that
comes
to
us
with
a
need
projects
can
go
over
budget
should
say
that
these
numbers
that
you
see
they
include
a
five
thousand
dollar
amount
for
for
our
oversight
for
inspection
services,
so,
for
example,
St
Vincent
Community
called
San
Francisco
communication,
Resource
Center,
eighty
nine
thousand
dollars
the
grant
is
actually
eighty
four
thousand
and
then
public
services.
This
is
where
we
had
a
little
bit
of
a
change,
hope
villagers
of
America
reached
out
to
Denise
and
me
recently
we
had
a
meeting
with
them.
The.
D
They
are
transitioning
that
from
a
homeless,
family,
shelter
to
affordable
housing,
and
that
is
a
very
loud
statement
in
our
world
because
you
know
through
covid
what
one
of
the
things
that
we've
seen
is
a
spike
in
family
homes.
C
D
I
believe
more
than
half
of
the
beds
in
our
County
for
families
can't
put
a
family
up
in
an
individual
homeless,
shelter
it
just
doesn't
fit.
So
this
is
pretty
devastating
in
that
area.
You
know
old
villagers
of
America
not
long
ago.
Their
funding
was
pulled
from
H
from
jwb
and
that
represented
about
80
percent
of
their
operational
funding.
D
E
D
First
year
they
really
hit
the
pavement
with
attracting
donations
and
the
like,
and
they
made
it
work,
but
right
now,
they're
not
able
to
make
it
fun
so
we'll
see
where
that
goes.
So
what
we've
done
obviously
is:
we've:
we've
removed
their
Grant
application
from
the
public
services,
so
we
had
to.
We
had
to
re-calculate
the
funds,
because
we
have
a
finite
amount
of
funds
for
public
services.
Only
15
of
our
cdbg
allocation
can
be
spent
on
public
services.
D
There.
You
see,
you
know
the
allocations
now
and
those
are
a
lot
of
our
frequent
flyers.
As
you
know,
Intercultural
advocacy
Institute,
also
known
as
the
Hispanic
Outreach
Center
WestCare
Gulf
Coast,
with
their
Turning
Point
Program
help
folks
in
substance
abuse
and
all
this
opportunity,
Council
chore,
Services
Program,
that's
been
a
staple
of
our
program
to
help
folks
are
unable
to
take
care
of
their
homes,
mostly
elderly
Gulf,
Coast
Legal
Services
they've
provided
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
help
to
folks
during
covet
who
have
had
challenges
with
with
their
landlords.
D
D
Women
and
new
mothers
that
are
low
income,
The
Arc
of
Tampa
Bay,
a
good
program
helps
folks
with
learning
disabilities,
and
hopefully
this
is
America
I
pulled
this.
This
is
the
wrong
file.
I
apologize
I
will
get
the
right
one
that
that
is
not
supposed
to
be
on
there.
That
is
what
I
what
we
pulled
and
we
recalculated
the
numbers.
I
grabbed
one
file
this
morning,
I
will
I,
will
grab
the
correct
file
and
I'll
send
it
out
later
today
and
then
homebuyer
education.
We
we
do
that
annually.
D
Fifteen
thousand
dollars
for
each
of
those
two
organizations,
that's
an
important
part
of
our
down
payment
assistance
program,
and
then
you
know
what
we
do
with
this
with
this
budget
is
we?
D
We
include
all
of
the
funding
sources
now,
as
I
mentioned
at
the
top,
the
AAP,
the
antioxidants,
but
this
really
is
our
sheet
for
all
our
entire
world.
The
only
thing
it
doesn't
include
is
the
city
arpa
funds
and
that
hasn't
been
approved
by
Council.
Yet
the
current
staff
proposal
is
3.3
million
dollars
going
towards
affordable
housing
and
another.
D
Going
to
Pinellas
Community
Foundation
when
that
gets
approved,
we'll
add
that
to
the
spreadsheet,
but
this
is
our
entire
world,
so
include
ship
money
includes
our
revolving
loan
funds
to
our
for
housing.
One
is
for
economic
development.
Okay,
one
of
the
royal
home
loan
funds
is
for
housing,
rehab,
another
is
for
infill
and
the
infill
revolvement
Loan
Fund.
We
use
that
for
acquisitions.
D
Let's
see
you
can
see
the
cdbgcv
up
be
coming
to
the
board
shortly
in
the
next
meeting
or
two
with
an
amendment
to
our
cdbgc
plan.
So
some
of
those
numbers
are
going
to
change
the
home
ARP.
It's
going
to
change
a
little
bit
because
this
housing
project
right
here
this
875,
that
was
for
Blue
Sky
I-
was
in
downtown.
That
project
has
gone
away.
D
D
All
80
88,
80,
Ami
and
below
so
we're
going
to
redirect
that
those
funds
most
of
those
funds
towards
the
Washington
Avenue
project,
which
is
171
unit
project
that
we've
had
trouble
getting
out
of
the
ground
because
of
the
finances,
so
failure
of
that
one
project,
May
solidify
this
other
project
so
and
I'll
talk
about
some
other
stuff
we
have
going
on
at
the
meeting
yeah
then
talk
about
Economic,
Development,
Economic
Development.
We
have
two
groups.
We
have
prospera
and
and
Tampa
Bay
black
business
Investment
corporation.
D
You
provide
Technical
Services
to
technical
assistance,
to
micro,
Enterprise
businesses
and
and
small
businesses,
Tampa
Bay
black
business
Investment
corporation.
They
have
what
they
call
their
catch
program.
I,
don't
I,
never
remember
that!
That's
one
acronym
I,
never
remember,
but
it's
a
it's
a
it's
a
series
of
classes
for
for
new
business
owners
to
help
them
really
find
their
way.
It's
been
very
successful.
So
it's
been
a
good
program
for
us.
D
D
That
we
have
have
budgeted
okay,
there's
loan
processing
DPA
loan
processing.
We
can
increase
that
over
time,
we're
probably
going
to
move
this
to
ship
expenses.
We're
not
capped
at
that
number,
but
with
our
dpas
we're
paying
1500
for
a
fee
for
each
of
the
two
process.
Each
of
the
two
agencies
that
process
the
loans
and
they're
a
maximum
DPA
right
now
is
forty
five
thousand
dollars
with
the
art
of
money.
D
We
may
add
a
fifteen
thousand
dollar
Grant
onto
our
subsidy,
which
could
very
well,
you
know,
get
people
from
not
being
able
to
qualify
to
qualify.
That
can
make
a
big
difference
so
more
to
come
on
that,
but
the
projects
that
we
have
this
new
construction
of
a
downtown
housing
project
1.385-
that
was
the
Blue
Sky
project.
You
can
see
the
875
in
home,
ARP
I
changed
the
name
from
Blue
Sky
to
a
more
ambiguous
downtown
project,
because
I
foresee
what
it
did
foresee.
D
What
has
eventually
happened-
and
that
gives
you
the
flexibility
to
move
that
money
without
rebudgeting
it
to
another
project
in
downtown
which
will
be
the
Washington
Africa,
so
the
Washington
Street
development
that
was
initially
budgeted,
880
000,
that's
probably
going
to
go
up
to
between
two
and
two
point:
five
million,
and
that
should
be
what
they
need
to
get
it
done
and
the
rest
of
the
funds.
You
know
you
can
see,
there's
a
good
deal
of
money,
budgeted
with
all
of
these
different
General
activities.
D
What
we
have
to
do
is
we
have
to
budget
each
activity,
because
if
somebody
comes
comes
in
the
door
with
a
request
to
fund
a
monthly
family
land
acquisition,
for
example,
we
don't
have
it
on
this
budget
sheet.
We
can't
do
it
without
amending
everything,
so
we
think
of
all
the
types
of
projects
that
we
might
fund
and
we
distribute
the
funds
among
those
projects.
So
it's
not
necessarily
a
plan
or
a
goal
to
spend
this
much
on
each
of
the
projects.
It's
just
a
matter
of
matter
of
getting
them
in
our
in
our
system.
D
So
we
can.
So
we
can
do
that.
Try
to
be
as
flexible
as
we
can
and
Arturo
set
aside.
Toto
is
Community
Housing
Development
organization,
15
of
our
home
funds
can
be
spent
on
a
project
with
an
organization
like
that.
It's
a
way
of
requiring
us
to
work
with
a
local
community-based
non-profit
so,
and
we
do
have
something
in
mind
with
that,
but
it
hasn't
really
materialized.
Yet
and
again,
I
mentioned
our
revolving
loan
funds
property
acquisition
demolition.
It's
always
good
to
have
that
in
there
you
know
we
buy
property.
D
D
And
I
think
that
I
think
that
does
it.
The
funding,
as
you
should
know,
includes
our
entitlement
which
you
can
see
on
the
screen
plus
prior
to
your
carryover
money
plus
program
income
that
we
anticipate
throughout
the
course
of
the
year
and
that's
for
each
of
the
funding
sources.
So
again,
I'll
send
I'll,
send
this
out
to
you
all
I'll
make
sure
so
that
you
all
have
it,
but
that
really
covers
the
annual
action
plan
and
I'll
be
presenting
the
Council
next
week.
I'll
take
questions.
C
Just
point
of
clarification
on
the
Hope
Villages
of
America
pouring
of
their
project,
the
same
percentages
that
we
have
set
up
previously
are
being
applied
to
the
funding
so
ranking
in
the
top,
the
the
three
groups
of
ranking
and
spreading
the
funds
equally,
so
the
same
formula
is
being
used
correct.
It
is,
it
is.
D
You
know
when
you
get
into
you
know
three
three
versus
three
three:
two,
you
kind
of
got
to
be
careful
with
the
percentages,
because
the
two
could
exceed
the
the
higher
one.
So
there's
some
adjustments
that
need
to
be
made,
but
I
do
think
the
same
percentage
is
apply.
It's
certainly
the
same
methodology
top-ranked
tears
get
the
top
amount
of
money.
The
second
rate
and
the
third
and
I'll
send
you
those
calculations
as
well.
A
D
So
we
talked
recently
about
about
our
lock
disposition
program.
The
way
we
you
know
over
the
last
several
years
and
not
lately,
but
the
last
several
years.
The
city
would
get
properties
through
a
process
called
this
achievement,
probably
cheat
to
the
county.
And
what
that
is,
is
someone
basically
disowns
a
piece
of
property.
They
don't
pay
the
taxes,
it
goes
through
an
auction,
nobody
buys
it.
Someone
needs
to
be
responsible
for
that
property.
So
by
law
it
goes
to
the
county
and
it
fits
in
a
jurisdiction.
D
The
county
is
required
to
deed
into
that
jurisdiction,
so
we've
ended
up
with
properties
over
the
years
through
that
process.
It
doesn't
happen
anymore,
because
property
properties
will
not
go
through
auction
without
selling.
When
this
happened,
when
we
were
getting
properties
like
this,
you
literally
couldn't
give
away
a
property
in
North
Korea
the
market
value,
and
there
now
those
properties
are
selling.
For
thirty
forty
thousand
dollars,
it's
a
very
different
climate.
Now
we
can
still
get
properties
through
foreclosure.
D
We
have
a
code
foreclosure
program,
I
think
we're
working
through
our
a
round
right
now,
I,
don't
know
what
the
status
of
that
is,
but
a
lot
of
properties
on
those
lists
when
we
do
go
through
a
code,
foreclosure
they're
suitable
for
housing.
So
you
know
I'm
able
to
you
know
really
earmark
those
for
projects
and
and
the
code
when
I
say
code
foreclosures,
it's
people
that
are
properties
are
deficient
on
code
they're,
not
getting
fixed
up.
D
There's
there's
been
no
compliance,
no
effort
of
compliance
and
those
are
the
types
of
properties
that
we
go
after.
So
what
we
did
is
we
created
this
new
program?
It's
a
it's
a
transparent,
it's
a
competitive
process.
Miss
hebden
was
on
the
lot
disposition
committee.
It
was
her
me
Rose
call
our
city,
clerk
and
and
Gina
Clayton
are
planning
a
development
director.
We
evaluated
the
applications
there
were.
D
There
were
three
applications
that
came
in
for
this
property:
three
of
the
of
the
developers
that
are
on
our
pre-approved
list
each
expressive
interest
in
this
property
and
sell
it
for
7
500.
decision
made
by
the
city
manager.
Typically,
we've
donated
these.
He
would
prefer
to
see
revenue
and
that
even
a
small
amount
of
Revenue
and
that
Revenue
go
back
into
housing
housing
to
do
it.
D
The
really
the
reason
that
Clearwater
Neighborhood
Housing
Services,
now
Tampa
Bay,
Neighborhood
Housing
Services,
is
the
recommended
recipient
of
this
land
because
they
have
under
contract
this
property
right
here.
Okay,
so
this
property
I
think
is
30.
The
one
we're
selling
I
think
is
36
feet
wide
and
you
can
see
to
the
South.
It
looks
like
that
property
is
built
within
that
house
is
built
within
the
the
setback
on
their
property
effectively
making
this
lot
even
smaller,
all
right
so
bless
you.
D
This
thought
by
itself
is
very
it's
very
challenging
to
develop
so
having
this
lot
right
here,
makes
it
much
more
suitable
development
site.
So
they'll
combine
these
Lots
put
a
single
family
home
on
this
lot,
they're
going
to
be
able,
at
the
same
time,
they'll
be
building
a
maybe
a
little
bit
earlier,
they're
going
to
be
developing
this
lot
as
well.
They
built
this
home
a
couple
years
back
so
they're
taking
what
was
largely
a
vacant
lot,
a
vacant
block
and
they're
doing
some
good
with
it.
D
So
so
the
recommendation
from
the
Property
Disposition
committee
is
to
sell
to
Tampa
Bay
Neighborhood
Housing
Services.
They
actually
had
a
they
tied
for
the
most
number
of
points
with
with
Habitat
for
Humanity,
but
the
fact
that
they
have
site
control
over
that
adjacent
property
is
is
really
the
the
difference.
So
that
is
your
recommendation.
So
I
will
I
will
take
questions.
B
Are
they
going
to
make
it
one
lot?
Yes,.
D
A
A
A
D
Well,
so
so
this
this
property
I've
been
promising
you
for
a
couple
years.
Now
that
we
put
out
an
RFP
and
finally
doing
it,
the
RFP
is
in
draft
form
and
and
me,
and
the
procurement
director
and
I
will
work
through
that
to
get
it
to
final
draft
form.
This
was
going
to
go
to
our
Council.
Next
week
we
missed
the
advertising
date
deadline.
Let's
get
that
bump
back
to
August
4th.
D
It
is
scheduled
for
August
4th
and
that
recommendation
for
Council
is
to
declare
the
property
Surplus
for
the
purpose
of
selling
to
a
developer
right
and
that
RFP
process.
What
we'll
do
is
we'll
go
through
that
process
and
largely
that
the
successful
developer
will
be
chosen
really
largely
based
on
the
merits
of
the
project.
So
that's
what
they
want
to
do.
We
want.
We
want
the
right
project
for
this
neighborhood.
Okay,
so
it's
1.3,
Acres,
it's
on
South
MLK
across
street
here
is,
is
Woodlawn
Street
Ross,
Norton
recreation
center
is
right
here.
D
I'm
here
is
property
owned
by
the
Clearwater,
the
Pinellas
County
Housing
Authority,
affordable
housing
complex.
This
is
also
affordable.
It's
owned
by
community
service
Foundation.
So
you
know
what
you
really
try
not
to
do
is
build
a
village
of
affordable
housing.
There's
a
lot
here
down
right
down
the
street.
D
We
have
the
the
Woodlawn
Trail
complex,
that's
80
units
but
all
affordable,
so
the
property
was
purchased
with
cdbg
back
in
the
day
and
because
it
was
purchased
with
cdbg
when
we
put
housing
on
it
at
least,
50
percent
of
the
units
need
to
be
80
and
below
so
we're
going
to
be
adding
to
the
affordable
component
right.
But
what
we
want
to
do
is
make
it
a
mixed
income
project
so.
D
Our
land
disposition
requirements
are
contained
in
our
Charter
okay,
and
if
we
sell
property
at
market
value,
what
we
have
to
do
is
we
have
to
go
through
a
bidding
process,
we're
very
it's
very
limited
as
to
how
we
can
sell
properties
as
a
city.
There
are
a
couple
of
caveats,
one
of
them
being
if
we're
selling
to
another
governmental
agency,
one
of
them.
If
we're
selling
for
development
of
affordable
housing,
we
can
sell
for
less
than
appraised
value
or
we
can
or
we
can
donate
the
property
right.
D
Have
that
flexibility
and
that's
important.
We
have
the
flexibility,
because
then
we
can
choose
a
property
based
on
the
merits
of
a
project.
Otherwise
we've
got
to
sell
the
highest
bidder,
so
we
want
to.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we
can
look
at
this
project
and
pick
the
right
project.
So
in
order
to
to
be
under
that
that
trouter
caveat
where
we
can
donate
or
self-less
and
appraise
value,
all
of
the
units
have
to
be
120
of
area
median
income
or
below.
D
So
what
we're
going
to
propose
and
what
we're
going
to
request
in
the
RFP
is
that
half
of
the
units
are
at
80,
Ami
half
the
units
are
of
120
Ami,
so
I
think
the
bigger
difference.
I
think
that's
important
to
note
is
we're
going
to
we're
going
to
require
this
to
be
a
homeownership
project
again,
this
is
not
going
to
be
a
rental
project
like
this
project,
this
project
and
the
Woodland
Trail
project.
So
with
with
the
with
the
rental
projects,
you
know
we
monitor,
you
know
or
you.
E
D
Don't
monitor
the
the
Housing
Authority
property,
but
they
are
monitored
annually
and
they
have
to
make
sure
that
they
continue
to
rent
the
people
to
qualify
the
homeownership
project.
You
have
to
sell
to
somebody
that
qualifies
and
that
person
can
go
on
and
raise
their
income
and
come
out
of
that
low
income
range
and
still
continue
to
live
there
and
and
build
equity
in
that
home.
D
So
I
I
think
homeownership
is
a
very
important
component
to
this
I'm
kind
of
excited
about
it.
We
will
go
to
council
and,
like
I,
said
on
August
4th.
We
will
immediately
put
out
that
RFP
and
then
you
know
we'll
see
what
we
get
I
know.
I
have
a
there's
a
lot
of
folks
that
are
interested.
I've
talked
to
a
lot
of
developers
about
this
there's
a
good
half
a
dozen
folks
that
are
serious
and
interested
bidding
on
this
project.
D
So
I
will
take
questions.
Let
me
talk
about
the
density.
First,
the
density
this
site
allows,
if
you
include
our
affordable
housing
density,
boost,
get
up
to
about
24
24
units
on
this
site.
Okay,
now,
depending
on
the
concept,
whether
it's
a
town,
home
concept
or
Villas,
or
a
condominium
type
of
thing,
that
that
all
affects
how
much
how
dense
you
can
make
it,
because
what
you
don't
want
to
do
is
overwhelm
the
site
you
want
to.
D
You
know
what
we've
said
is
we
want
to
see
the
highest
density
practicable
while
staying
consistent
with
the
lanyards
pattern
in
the
neighborhood
and
not
getting
out
of
scale,
so
so
that's
kind
of
an
ambiguous
request,
but
that's
certainly
appropriate.
Let's
let
the
developers
tell
us
what's
appropriate
for
that
site
and
then
we'll
we'll
judge
to
see
if
we
like
what
they
what
they
say,
we'll
know
what
we
like.
When
we
see
it
right.
A
I
think
this
is
a
this
is
so
exciting
and,
like
you
mentioned,
we've
been
talking
about
this,
for
a
long
actually
happened
is
very
exciting
and
it
actually
makes
me
think
of
a
project
in
Saint
Pete
that
just
got
awarded
to
Habitat
to
do
town
homes
in
an
area
like
that.
That
you
know,
has
a
lot
of
affordable
housing,
a
lot
of
Need
for
affordable
housing,
but
they're
pushing
for
the
home
ownership,
because
it
is
so
important
to
build
that
generational
wealth
for
these
people
as
well.
D
New
construction,
we'll
just
do
a
whole
lot
of
good
one
of
the
other
things
I
failed
to
mention.
You
know
a
lot
of
these.
These
folks
were
talking
to
are
in
the
world
of
affordable
housing.
You
don't
build
something
like
this.
If
you're
not
in
neighborhood,
you
know
in
that
line
of
work,
so
they're
all
familiar
with
the
funds
and
whatnots
during
the
RFP
process.
We're
going
to
have
a
meeting
us
the
county
HFA.
D
So
these
developers
can
ask
questions.
We
can
explain
what
funds
we
might
have
available
the
programs,
and
so
everybody
that
that
is
going
to
respond
to
this
RFP.
You
know
has
that
benefit
of
talking
to
us.
You
know:
hey
Clearwater.
What
do
you
have
available
and
I
can
I
can
talk
about
what
we
might
be
able
to
bring
to
the
table
on
this.
B
D
Again,
the
Hallmark
money
not
approved
yet,
but
not
confident
it
will
be,
and
we
plan
to
use
a
lot
of
those
some
of
that
funding
one
of
the
objectives
Hallmark.
No,
our
I
knew
what
he
meant:
3.3
million.
What
we
want
to
do.
We
have
funds
to
help
the
below
80.
As
you
mentioned,
we
want
to
be
able
to
help
people
between
80
and
120.,
so
we're
going
to
try
to
focus
not
exclusively
we're
going
to
try
to
focus
on
the
80
to
120,
with
the
Hallmark
up
with
the
arba
okay.
A
D
We've
talked
about
this
a
little
bit
in
the
past
drive
down
Cleveland
Street
when
you
leave
here
on
the
left-hand
side
after
you
passed,
Missouri,
there's,
there's
a
vacant
spot
of
land
that
whole
corridors
under
construction.
The
land
we're
talking
about
is
now
it's
currently
the
staging
area
for
That
Sweet
project,
so
about
two
and
a
half
acres,
and
we
put
out
an
RFP
a
couple
years
back
now
to
attract
a
tax
credit
developer
to
this
project.
It
was
CRA
actually
put
out
there.
D
D
So
what
happened
is
last
year
they
went
through
the
tax
credit
project
they
applied
and
they
get
funding.
They
weren't
successful
they're
going
to
do
that
again
this
year.
Okay,
so
there's
there's
two
requests
for
applications.
Rfas
that
the
housing
floor
housing
is
going
to
put
out.
One
is,
and
it's
typical
every
year
one
is
the
four
percent
tax
credit
project
round
with
sale
and
the
other
is
a
nine
percent
project.
Okay,
the
nine
percent
is
the
much
more
heavily
funded
project
with
tax
credit
money.
D
It
usually,
the
sale
of
tax
credits
will
yield
somewhere
in
a
neighborhood
of
17
million
dollars,
with
a
nine
percent
project
right.
So
the
concept
there
is,
you
know
you
get
the
test,
credit
money
up
front,
it's
less
financing!
You
need
to
pay
down
the
road,
so
you
have
less
fine.
You
know
lower
financing
costs,
so
you
can
sustain
on
Lower
rents
in
the
long
term
concept
of
the
project.
It's
a
lot
of
money.
So
in
order
for
them
to
get
success
they
need
a
local
government
support.
D
The
local
government
can
choose
to
invest
at
the
local
government
area
of
opportunity,
funding
level,
which
is
six
hundred
and
ten
thousand
dollars,
and
those
lead
to
get
that
level
of
funding
all
go
to
the
top
tier
and
it's
basically
a
lottery
pick
among
those
that
are
funded
at
that
level.
If
you
fund
the
75
000
minimum,
it's
it's
almost
impossible
to
get
the
project,
so
we
are
proposing
to
invest
610
000
dollars,
support
that
application.
Okay,
Focus,
an
application.
D
The
minimum
contribution
is
seventy
five
thousand
dollars,
there's
no
there's
no
benefit
to
to
providing
more
money.
Four
percent
round,
if
they're
successful,
is,
is
much
lower
funding
levels.
So
they
know
that
we
know
that
they're
going
to
need
more
than
seventy
five
thousand
dollars.
So
what
we're
proposing
is
to
invest
regardless
610
610
000
into
the
four
percent
round
as
well,
and
the
CRA
is
planning
to
invest
money
as
well,
so
that
that's
really
the
what
this
item
is
about.
D
It's
it's
about
us
committing
to
Archway
that
and
Council
will
be
asked
to
approve
this
at
the
second
meeting
in
August.
So
it's
our
commitment
to
this
project
of
funding.
It
does
a
couple
things
it.
It
helps
them
get
their
sale
financing,
which
is
something
apartment
incentive
loan.
D
You
remember
state
state,
department,
incentive,
Loan
program
and
if
they
can
represent
funding
that
you
know
from
us
from
the
county,
they're
much
more
effective
in
getting
the
sale
funding
that
they
need,
in
addition
to
the
tax
credits,
so
that
all
of
that
funding
stack
will
line
up
to
pencil
this
project
out.
Okay,
so
one
of
the
things
I'm
doing
too
is
is
we're
having
a
third
party.
D
Financial
Consultant
evaluate
this
because
there's
a
lot
going
on
when
you're
talking
about
you
know
an
apartment,
complex
and
your
financing,
you
have
the
sources
and
uses
you
know
the
construction
right.
If
it's
a
homeownership
project,
it's
easy!
What
does
it
cost
you
to
build?
How
much
are
you
going
to
sell
simple
math
right
with
a
with
a
rental
project?
You
know
you
got
to
consider
a
30
or
40
year
performance.
D
D
That's
why
we
hired
him
and
they're
going
to
do
a
financial
analysis,
they're
going
to
and
really
prag
what
they're
going
to
do
is
they're
going
to
look
at
the
at
the
deal
structure,
they're
going
to
subcontract
with
first
housing
to
analyze
the
construction
costs,
so
I
think
we're
in
really
good
hands
for
them
to
give
us
an
opinion
on.
You
know
what
is
really
the
financial
gap
that
we
need
to
bring.
D
D
So
we're
going
to
kind
of
protect
ourselves
with
that
and
I.
Just
think.
It's
a
good
move
and
the
right
way
to
go.
It's
a
really
good
project,
great
looking
project.
You
know
you
combine
this
with
a
brand
new
streetscape
and
you're,
really
making
a
difference
in
in
a
neighborhood
that
really
hasn't
rebounded.
Since,
since
we
moved
that
moved
that
bridge,
the
bridge
realignment
that
used
to
be
the
main
road
to
the
beach,
you
know
all
the
vote.
All
of
that
traffic
was
diverted
to
you,
know
60.
D
A
A
A
D
Yeah,
that's
a
great
point.
I'll
see
you
at
CRA
director
wanted
to
kind
of
Leverage.
You
know
the
opportunity
to
expand
on
that
that
Urban
Garden
kind
of
you
know
things
really
good
move
and
that
community
garden
has
been
very
successful.
I,
don't
know
if
you
take
a
ride
around
that
block,
you
take
a
good
look
at
it.
I
mean
it's
just
it's
thriving.
It
really
is
they've
got
a
lot
of
participation.
F
D
Well,
this,
if
it's
nine
percent,
we
have
to
provide
the
610.
okay,
because
if
we
don't
they're
not
going
to
get
the
project,
so
we
really
don't
need
it.
It's
not
necessary
even
to
do
the
financial
analysis
with
that,
because
if
we
want
the
project,
that's
what
we
got
to
bring
to
the
table.
It's
the
four
percent
round.
That's
really
critical
about
it!.
D
Cleveland
on
the
back
side,
it's
it's
right!
Next
to
the
Verizon
building.
D
D
F
F
D
To
get
the
96,
they
would
have
to
go
to.
You
know
to
the
density
pool
which,
which
is
doable
I.
Think
part
of
it.
Is
you
build
this
out
too
much
and
you're
going
to
cast
shade
on
that
community
garden?
I
think
that's
part
of
it
becomes
a
challenge
when
you
start
looking
at.
You
know
where
the
sun's
going
to
hit
that
absolutely
but
I
I
I
think
this
is
the
right.
The
right
number
I
do
not
a
lot
of
huge.
You
know
if
you
look
at
the
scale.
D
I
think
this
is
perfect.
It's
it's
a
beautiful
design,
as
you
can
tell.
Hopefully
we
get
to
the
get
to
the
Finish
table
on
this
one.
We
should.
We
should
know
pretty
quickly
that
well,
actually,
the
applications
are
due
very
late
this
year
to
Florida
housing,
actually
due
in
December.
Shortly
after
that,
they'll
have
a
they'll.
Have
an
answer
on
it
see
what
happens.
I
will
certainly
keep
it
posted.
A
A
I
just
wanted
to
bring
up
since
it
wasn't
our
minutes
from
last
month
that
I've
been
working
on
that
presentation
that
we've
been
talking
about
to
go
in
front
of
the
city
council,
so
I
think
next
step
will
be
for
me
to
get
with
you
Chuck
and
kind
of
work
that
into
something
that
we
agree
with
before
we
present
it
to
this
board.
Terrific.
D
We
talked
about
a
lot
of
the
stuff,
that's
going
on
another
project
we
haven't
discussed
on
on
on
North
Betty.
If
you
go
up
north
Betty,
you're,
traveling
north
and
you
you
pass
over
Brook
Road,
which
is
a
diagonal
Street
to
the
West.
Shortly
after
that
there
is
a
site.
That's
about
two
acres:
it
used
to
be
a
kind
of
a
vehicle
storage
site
habitat
you
for
Humanity
has
bought
that
it's
unincorporated
and
they
started
working
with
the
county
on
a
project
there.
D
Now
they
are
in
the
process
of
annexing
that
into
the
city
which
will
make
you
know,
make
it
possible
now
for
us
to
contribute
as
well
as
the
county,
so
that
I've
seen
a
couple
of
Concepts.
You
know
they've
single-family
homes,
there's
kind
of
a
town
home
concept
that
they
have,
which
is
kind
of
new
to
them.
So
I,
don't
know
what
that's
going
to
be
yet,
but
we're
probably
looking
at
maybe
a
dozen
units
I'd
like
to
see
it
more.
But
it's
a
challenge.
E
D
Habitat
for
Humanity,
so
there's
that,
thanks
to
Mr
snow
at
our
next
meeting,
Linda
Linda
Fisher
is
scheduled
to
join
us
she's,
going
to
give
you
a
presentation
on
Transportation
as
it
relates
to
affordable
housing.
Excellent
kind
of
also
focus
a
little
bit
on
a
project
that
they're
working
on
on
Missouri,
Ave,
19a,
they're,
doing
a
an
evaluation
project
and
please.
D
That's
a
real
life
project
within
our
city
that
she
might
be
able
to
tie
to
into
her
discussions
we'll
ask
her
if
she
could
do
somehow
so
that'll
be
that'll,
be
interesting
for
us
and
lastly,
the
county
is
working
through
attendance,
Rights
bill.
It
happened
over
in
Hillsborough
County
this
one's
a
little
bit
different.
It
accomplishes
I
believe
two
major
things.
One
is
tenants,
need
to
be
informed
of
their
rights
as
a
tenant
right.
So
that's
that's
pretty
simple.
That's
not
anything!
Anybody's
really
barking
at
the
other.
One
is
a
little
bit
more
controversial.
D
It's
the
landlords
are,
will
no
longer
be
able
to
discriminate
based
on
sources
of
revenue
for
the
tenant.
So
the
big
thing
is:
if
you
get,
if
you
have
a
voucher,
they
can't
disqualify
you,
because
you
have
a
voucher
and
that-
and
we
see
that
happen
a
lot
a
lot
more
often
than
you
think.
So
it's
it's
a
good
thing
in
a
lot
of
ways.
It's
going
to
help.
You
know
those
folks
but
anytime.
D
You
slap
regulation
on
financial
regulation
on
any
business
segment,
that
business
segment
contracts
and
that
and
that's
a
dangerous
thing
for
us
to
do,
because
I
believe
and
I
think
a
lot
of
folks
do
that
really
the
fundamental
core
of
the
the
crisis
we're
dealing
with
now
is
Supply
demand
they're,
not
enough
units.
So
when
you
stop
regulation
on
something
and
it
contracts,
you
know
you
know
you
might
be
doing
more
harm
than
good
I.
Don't
know
that!
D
That's
the
case
here,
because
this
isn't
rent
control,
for
example,
which
would
be
a
really
strapping
Financial
regulation.
This
is
a
little
bit
different.
You
know,
so
the
county
is
going
to
implement
this
well,
they
haven't
proved
it
yet.
Staff
recommendations
then
implemented
county-wide
and
each
of
the
local
governments
will
have
the
opportunity
to
opt
out.
If
they
don't
want
to
do
it,
they
can
create
their
own
ordinance
or
they
can
have
nothing.
