C. PUBLIC FORUM:

 Phil Meno, Resident & Member of the DuPage Homeless Alliance - The Housing
 Advisory Commission (HAC) has been entrusted with implementing some of
 the goals of the City's Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (AI),
 including intregration of affordable housing in planning and development
 activities. Seeks the HAC's support and involvement in making sure affordable
 housing is a part of the any future 5th Avenue project.

E. OLD BUSINESS:

F. NEW BUSINESS:

1. Finalize the Fair Housing Training/Education request for proposals (RFP).

 The HAC discussed how long the training should last, target audiences, training
 content, which organizations should be sent the RFP, and what criteria there
 are to review the RFPs. There was agreement the training organizations
 should propose a length of time for the training, and the first target group for
 training should be City staff, Council, and Commissions. After training, staff and
 the HAC will have a better idea of what content to include in subsequent
 seminars and how best to convey that information. Subsequent informational
 campaigns should target landlords, property managers and realtors.
 Haber-Kovach will provide Broder with additional organizations to send the RFP
 to, and check if there is a minimum number of units managed that triggers
 property manager certification in fair housing regulations. Broder will pull
 together an evaluation sheet for use when reviewing the RFPs.
