MEMORANDUM
TO: Housing Commission
FROM: Michael J. McCauley, City Mana
DATE: January 14, 2004
SUBJECT: 2004 Focus
In reviewing the City Council's focus in 2004, the Council would like to develop a framework for
potential senior housing development and evalua.tion. In order to accomplish that goal within the
constraints of ava.ilable staff and other resources, it was suggested that City staff assemble
information and prepare a framework of information and potential plans or goals in the first half of
2004. After development of that set of materials, the Housing Commission would be asked to-
review those documents with staff and provide reaction, input, and assistance in refining that
planning document. This framework would dedicate staff resources in the first half of 2004 and
contempiate a review by the Housing Commission beginning in July of this year. During that
interim, the Housing Commission would not meet so that stafF resources would be available to
complete this project in the first half of the year and then work with the Commission to refine and
improve the planning documents during the second half of 2004 with a goal of having materials to
present to the City Council before the end of 2004.
