 HAC Recommendations and Proposed Affordable Housing Work Plan
 (1)

 Councilman Kelly stated that the Affordable Housing Work Plan, scheduled to
 be considered at the November 16 City Council meeting, was postponed due to
 lack of time and will be rescheduled for the January 5, 2021 City Council
 meeting. Council did approve the 2021 City Budget, including a $25,000 line
 item for a consultant to study inclusionary zoning and prepare a draft ordinance.
 The Human Rights Ordinance, including approval of the Human Rights and Fair
 Housing Commission, is scheduled for consideration at the December 15, 2020
 City Council meeting. Responding to a question about the status of the 5th
 Avenue Project, Councilman Kelly stated the project was on hold for the
 forseeable future with no timetable for reconsideration. He also confirmed that
 the affordable housing component of the proposed plan is also on hold as a
 result.

E. NEW BUSINESS:

 Ms. Broder shared the proposed 2021 commission meeting calendar. As in the
 past, regular meetings will take place at 6:30 p.m. on the first Monday of
 January, March, May, July, September and November, with the first Monday of
 the other months reserved for additional meetings, as needed. Chairman
 Bernicky suggested rescheduling the January 4, 2021 meeting to take place
 after approval of the Affordable Housing Work Plan by the City Council. The
 commission discussed moving the meeting to either January 11, 2021 or
 January 18, 2021. Sha'Ron Booker, attending as a participant, stated that she
 has been notified that she will be appointed to the commission. She also asked
 that the meeting not be scheduled for January 18th, which is the Martin Luther
 King, Jr. holiday. The commissioners agreed and there was a consensus to
 reschedule the next meeting to January 11, 2021.

Commission



 A motion was made by Palm, seconded by Kuhn, to reschedule the January 4,
 2021 Human Rights and Fair Housing Commission (Housing Advisory Commission)
 meeting to January 11, 2021. The motion carried by the following vote:

 Aye: 7- Bernicky, Kuhn, Lakner, Rice, Gurusamy, Kelly, Miller, and Palm

F. REPORTS:

1. Receive reports on priority AI Action Plan items from Housing Advisory Commission
 Subcommittees and discuss next steps
 Attachments: AI Action Plan - 2020-2021 Priority Committees
 AI Housing Report Subcommittee 1. 1D 9.14.20

 Commissioner Rice gave a report on the Action Item 1D (Homebuyer
 Counseling) Subcommittee. Commissioners Rice and Palm contacted two
 HUD-Certified Homebuyer Counseling Organizations to learn more about their
 services. The two organizations were Home Ownership Money Education
 (H.O.M.E.), located in DuPage County, and the Community Service Council of
 Northern Will County. Anne O'Dell, Executive Director, and Courtney Simek,
 Associate Executive Director, provided an overview of the H.O.M.E. program
 and Robert Kalnicky, provided an overview of the Community Service Council of
 Northern Will County's programs. The Subcommittee will follow up in 2021 to
 discuss opportunities for partnering with the City.

 Commissioner Kuhn discussed Action Item 3C (Identifying Parcels Suitable for
 Multi-Family Housing). Ms. Broder explained that the City can only identify
 parcels that might be suitable for multi-family housing. Any changes in land use
 or zoning could only be done through a request from the property owner. As part
 of the Affordable Housing Work Plan, the City will identify city-owned parcels
 and determine current land use and zoning. The City and its partners will also
 work to develop relationships with affordable housing developers to understand
 the process for developing affordable housing. Since the Work Plan will be
 approved by City Council, it is best to coordinate development actions
 mentioned in the AI with the Work Plan items. A meeting can be scheduled to
 discuss this further.

 Commissioner Palm asked for clarification that the AI Action Items would still fall
 within the jurisdiction of the new commission. Councilman Kelly and Ms. Broder
 confirmed that this is correct. Ms. Haber-Kovach noted that a new
 commissioner will need to be assigned to Action Item 2A (Language Access
 Plan). Discussion ensued on the role of the new Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
 Manager who is expected to be hired in the coming months and will also serve
 as staff to the commission. Chairman Bernicky and Ms. Broder suggested that
 further action on the AI Action Items be postponed until this person arrives and
 the commission agreed.

G. ADJOURNMENT:
