The housing authority members discussed the Implementation Matrix from the Town of Vail’s Employee Housing Strategic Plan. They reviewed the action items and discussed their role in implementation and instructed staff to reorganize the Implementation Matrix to reflect the changes in status of the Action steps as discussed by the Board. The board developed a set of questions to be refined for presentation to Town Council at the joint work session on September 15, 2015. They asked staff to incorporate the questions into the staff memo to Council for the work session. These question for the Vail Town Council are needed to be to answered so the HA Board may focus their time and efforts in the direction Town Council would like to go. Specific conversation was had about the following: Is the Town Council interested in dedicating funds the housing authority for the efforts or would the Town Council be more interested in dedicating funds toward specific efforts? Does the Town Council support having the housing authority act with legislative authority on certain land deals in Vail? Does the Town’s rational nexus need to be updated? Will the update apply to enough new development to warrant the expense? Update the existing conditions survey completed by RRC in 2010. Appoint a Town Council member as liaison to the housing authority. Have the Town Council provide direction on what they are would prefer to implement – rental or for-sale development. Have the housing authority look at the Housing District and residential zoning incentives and/or requirements to create viable zoning within which to create employee/resident housing. Provide Town Council candidates with housing information and ensure housing related questions are asked by newspapers and at candidate forums. The Board Chair will work with the Housing Manager to craft the specific questions for the Council Memo. There being no further business the meeting adjourned at 4:35 PM.
