[ COMMENTS FROM DIRECTORS:]
THE COMMENTS FROM DIRECTORS NOW, TRUMP, I ACTUALLY DO HAVE A COMMENT.UM, I'VE BEEN THINKING FOR SOME TIME IT WOULD BE, UM, BENEFICIAL.
I THINK NOT ONLY TO US AS, UH, AS A BOARD OF DIRECTORS, I GUESS, FOR A HOUSING AUTHORITY, BUT AS WELL AS FOR THE PUBLIC AT LARGE TO SORTA HAVE A, A HOUSING ONE-ON-ONE, UM, FROM THE STAFF, I THINK THE GENERAL PUBLIC, AND MAYBE EVEN NOT FROM THE COUNCIL OR DIRECTOR OR A HOUSING AUTHORITY, OR SOMETIMES MAYBE MISS THE BIG PICTURE ON, ON HOUSING POLICY AND LAWS THAT WE ARE OPERATING WITHIN.
SO I WOULD LIKE TO ASK STAFF TO PREPARE AT A FUTURE MEETING, SORT OF A HOUSING POLICY, ONE OH ONE.
WHAT ARE THE LAWS THAT WE'RE OPERATING IN AND WHAT ARE THE, UM, YOU KNOW, THE PARAMETERS? I THINK WHEN WE ARE CONSIDERING BROAD HOUSING PROJECTS IN, AND IN THE CONTEXT OF, ARE WE APPROVING OR DISAPPROVING THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT SOMETIMES MAYBE, YOU KNOW, THERE'S EMOTION AND EVERYTHING WE MIGHT LOSE LIGHTLY OF WHAT IS THE PARAMETERS THAT WE ARE OPERATING.
AND I THINK, UM, A PARTICULAR IMPORTANT WOULD BE THE CALIFORNIA HOUSING ACCOUNTABILITY ACT.
NOW THAT IS THE KIND OF THE GOVERNING STATE LAW OVER THIS.
WE HAVE THE HOUSING, THE CALIFORNIA HOUSING CRISIS ACT OF 2019, THAT
[00:05:01]
WAS SVP 30 ADOPTED AND SIGNED INTO LAW BY THE GOVERNOR.OF COURSE WE KNOW ABOUT RENO, THE REGIONAL HOUSING NEEDS ASSESSMENT.
I THINK EVEN IT WOULD BE BENEFICIAL TO HEAR A LITTLE BIT OF THE HISTORY OF THE MACABRE HOUSING AUTHORITY, OUR HISTORY AND OUR PROGRAMS, OUR ASSETS.
WHAT, WHAT IS, HOW DID WE GET HERE AS A LITTLE HUB, THE HOUSING AUTHORITY? SO SOME OF THESE THINGS, SORRY, NOT IN THE CONTEXT OF ANY DECIDING ANYTHING YES OR NO, BUT JUST AS A, AS AN INFORMATION ITEM.
SO I WOULD LIKE TO ASK THAT WE TEND TO DIRECT STAFF TO COME BACK WITH THAT IN, UH, YOU KNOW, WHENEVER A MEETING OF TWO OR THREE, WHENEVER YOU GO HAVE IT DONE AND KIND OF GIVE US THAT KIND OF HOUSING ONE OH ONE, UH, THAT WE WOULD, WE MIGHT NEED TO KNOW.
I THINK IT WOULD BE BENEFICIAL FOR US AS WELL AS, UM, OUR COMMUNITY TO, TO KIND OF HEAR THESE, UH, LAWS AND WHERE WE'RE AT.
SO, UM, THAT WOULD BE WHAT MY REQUEST WOULD BE.
AND NOW DO I NEED TO ASK FOR ANOTHER DIRECTOR TO SECOND THAT JIM, IS THAT RIGHT? IT'S YEAH, JUST A LOT OF PERSONS WHO AGREE WITH THAT AND WE'VE EVEN GOT REPORT BACK TO COUNSELING OR OKAY.
