 Draft Housing Advisory Commission Position Paper on Affordable Housing
 Component of the 5th Avenue Development: Discussion of Draft Housing Advisory
 Commission Position Paper on 5th Avenue Development Recommendation. [Draft
 attached]


 Commissioner Haber-Kovach and Commissioner Kuhn summarized the draft
 position paper. They emphasized that the recommendation for 20 percent
 affordable units should apply to both owner-occupied and rental units. They asked
 for comments from other commissioners.


 Chairwoman Clemen thanked Haber-Kovach and Kuhn for their work on the
 position paper. Clemen said she had received some emails from people who
 seemed to misunderstand the purpose of the recommendation for 20 percent
 affordable units. The commissioners offered comments clarifying that the
 recommendation is a target rather than a mandate. They reiterated that the
 property represents a unique opportunity because it is city-owned. The HUD and
 state fair housing and affordable housing laws provide additional justification for
 the recommendation.


 Motion by Commissioner Lakner to approve the position paper. Seconded by
 Commissioner Rice. Motion approved unanimously by a roll call vote (8-0).


 Clemen asked staff to determine next steps, including presentation of the position
 paper to City Council. Staff will check the date. Commissioners should attend the

 Broder reviewed updates to the AI Action Items:
 § 1C. Broder met with Rice and discussed revising the Prairie State Legal
 Services presentation for other target audiences such as landlords,
 property managers, etc. Other options to consider are partnering with the
 Naperville Police Department, which does fair housing training as part of
 their Crime-Free Multi-Housing Program. Commissioners agreed it would
 be worthwhile to see if this could be done.
 The commission also discussed updating the videos and powerpoint slides
 on the HAC webpage. Agreed that this is something the commission
 should plan on in the future.
 § 1E/1F. Senior City Attorney Kristen Foley has agreed to work with Clemen
 on these items, to be completed by May, 2019. Clemen will contact Foley
 to set up a time to meet. Clemen also asked Commissioner Bernicky to
 participate, due to his experience on the commission and as a practicing
 attorney.
 § 3A. A draft of the Housing Needs Assessment RFP will be reviewed this
 month and should go out in April. Commissioners should send any
 suggestions for topics or data to be included to Broder.
 § 3B/3C/3D. TED published an RFP for an update to the city’s Comprehensive
 Plan and has received two proposals. The update will include a review of
 the AI and a housing element.


 The commission discussed setting aside 15 minutes each meeting to discuss a
 current topic of interest pertaining to fair and affordable housing. Commissioner
 were favorable to this idea.
 Announcements:
 · Naper Settlement is conducting focus groups to obtain ideas from the
 community on their planned fair housing exhibit. The HAC commissioners
 were invited and are encouraged to sign up for one of the groups if they
 have not done so already.
