~( <br />9:53:26 PM Alderman Broun asked did they know with any great certainty they could raise <br />money from HUD. Mr. Dowling stated they usually were told each spring what that funding <br />would be, and it had been the same for the last five years. He said based on what he had been <br />told that funding would stay the same through 2012. <br />Commissioner Hallman stated the Task Force had approached this from anon-political <br />viewpoint, and the reality was that if they did not do something soon then they were facing a <br />collapse of the program. <br />Alderman Gist suggested that at the next Assembly of Governments meeting that the each <br />elected body report on the progress they had made in the interim, and if they were not approving <br />payment-in-lieu that they report on what they were doing. <br />Alderman Haven-O'Donnell asked that Affordable Housing be moved up on the agenda so that <br />the time for discussion was not constrained by it being taken up late in the evening. <br />Mayor Stevens stated for the next Assembly of Governments, he believed affordable housing and <br />economic development should be the two primary issues. There was no disagreement from those <br />present. <br />5) FUTURE AGENDA TOPIC/THEMES <br />Library Services <br />Transportation (long range plan, rail stop, airport, public transportation) <br />Fire and Emergency Services <br />Economic Development <br />Pazks, Recreation <br />Fiscal Sustainability <br />6) ADJOURNMENT <br />Mayor Stevens adjourned the meeting at 9:56 p.m. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />Donna F.
