I will not be able to attend the <br />City Council meeting tonight, unfortunately. I read that there has been a <br />recommendation that the Affordable Housing units remain low-income which I am very <br />pleased to hear. I would like to know why we would pay $900,000 out of Pleasanton’s <br />Affordable Housing fees to reduce the project to 55 units. It seems those funds could be <br />better used to offset future low income affordable housing projects and if the developer <br />is willing to cover the cost of the 9 units originally recommended that seems like a more <br />reasonable option and prudent use of our funds. <br /> <br />Here are the questions I sent you on March 22 which are some of the questions I would <br />like to discuss tomorrow. <br /> <br />1. What factor or who determined that under Alternative 2, the 8 one-bedroom units <br />would need to be for moderate income families? <br />2. Do I understand correctly that in moving from 57 units to 55 units that those 2 <br />less units represent one of the lower income homes and one of the regular <br />homes? <br />3. Did I hear that the lower income units are 2 story duets and that the regular <br />homes are 3 story condos? <br />4. Is it possible to see a map of this project? <br />5. I see online that there is a listing of the affordable housing projects in Pleasanton. <br />Is there also a map that shows all their locations? <br />6. If LIHF funds are used to close the affordability gap, what other uses will not <br />receive these funds as a result? <br />7. Do you have a print out of the recipients of the HHSG from last night and the <br />amount of their grants? <br /> <br />Thank you and I look forward to our conversation. <br /> <br />Laura Taggart <br />
