Summary
The committee confirmed that Community Scale was awarded the housing production plan contract, the contract was countersigned and committee members will schedule follow-ups to align timelines and plan for public engagement.
Committee members reported that the housing production plan contract has been awarded to Community Scale and that the contract paperwork has been executed and returned.
Al (committee member) said, "Community Scale was engaged, and awarded the contract. We voted on that, and, obviously, on May 1. Melanie did give me the over the contract, signed by them. So I did countersign it, and so that went back to them." Ellen and Jesse said they will coordinate with Community Scale to set interim meetings and clarify the consultant's timeline and when the firm should present to the full committee.
Ellen said she and Jesse would check in with the consultant about the proposal timeline and determine when Community Scale should appear at a full meeting. "So I think probably the next step is for Jesse and I to check-in with community scale," she said. Jesse confirmed he will reconnect after travel and participate in follow-up discussions.
Committee members discussed scheduling an agenda item for a future meeting to receive an update from Community Scale and flagged that the housing production plan work should identify local zoning barriers (including whether caps on certain housing types exist) and possible strategies.
Ending: Committee members agreed to arrange interim check-ins with Community Scale and to place a housing production plan update on a future meeting agenda for a fuller presentation.
