City Clerk Fowler stated,I was also thinking maybe the Administration,during the budget process, could maybe come up with a list of things that aren't funded anymore. One (1) of the initiatives for home repairs didn't get funding. But that is good to know because if people think we do have funding,it would be good to know that we don't because it also helps us budget. I would like a list of things that have historically been funded that will not be funded moving forward into the next budget cycle. Alkeyna Aldridge, Director of Economic Empowerment with offices on the 14th floor of the County-City Building, stated, It was a program that traditionally ran out of CDBG dollars. James Mueller, Executive Director of Community Investment with offices on the 14th floor of the County-City Building, stated,The issue isn't about getting the money as it is more about the timing of getting the money. So this gar's Federal dollars won't come until September, which is not convenient for doing home repairs during the home repair season. City Clerk Fowler stated, That would be good for the Council and the citizens to know so they aren't thinking it isn't funded anymore. Committee Chair White then stated, A meeting has been scheduled for the analysis on the residential market potential for Wednesday,March 21St. The Administration has reached out to me with that information.It will be at 5:30 p.m. It is going to be in the full Council Chambers. Mr. Mueller stated, This is the market study that we headed up last summer. We started up engagement in the fall and this is the final report. What we are looking to get from this report is the housing demand in different neighborhoods by housing types, income levels and we are hoping to address the resources and strategy moving forward. This is just an informational meeting. Ms. Aldridge stated, There will be a follow-up meeting on the opportunities for engagement on the following Thursday night at the library. Mr. Mueller stated, The incremental development workshop will be this Friday. They are looking more at the small-scale zoning and where there could be miniscule improvements to facilitate positive changes with small development. Miscellaneous Committee Chair White then opened the floor to discussion to members of the Committee and Council. Councilmember Scott stated, I have just two (2) things. I know this will be later on but I would like an update on the mentorship grass-cutting program for the City.We need to talk to Community Investment and Parks to see how that is going. It had a great last summer. The other thing is we need to address how close individuals can park to the end of the driveway. We've had issues where people get parked in. 4
