Mr. George Chapman expressed his concern that the public is not being given the opportunity to
provide input on the site selection of the homeless resource centers. He asked that the Mayor and
the City Council fulfill their promises and urged them to allow the public to weigh in on the site
selection before anything is finalized.
Mr. Glenn Bailey applauded the changes and the effort to bring housing back to the forefront of
the RDA's budget and mission. He stated it is an excellent start, but more needs to be done and
more funding is necessary to make a real impact. He stated he is in favor of the changes to the
Transit Station Area ordinance to include affordable housing. He encouraged the City to consider
inclusionary zoning, strategies, and incentives and requested a long-term commitment from the
City to meet the housing needs of the City.
