He said in <br /> 40 the coming months, staff will work with the various boards to determine development goals. He <br /> 41 said this land can be developed in pods of affordable housing, or as mixed income <br /> 42 development, which seemed preferable.

He said he <br /> 49 hopes staff will hold the elected officials to the timeline, so this topic can move from <br /> 50 conversation to action. <br />
