APPROVAL OF BOULDER COUNTY CONSORTIUM OF CITIES/BOULDER COUNTY CIVIC FORUM HOUSING NEEDS ASSESSMENT FUNDING REQUEST Mayor Sisk requested Council member Brown make a presentation. Council member Brown explained the Consortium of Cities in cooperation with the Boulder County Civic Forum has outlined a number of actions they would like to see take place over the next few years to consider affordable housing opportunities from a more regional perspective. The end result of such analysis may be the ability of the County to directly receive federal dollars for such programming. The Consortium is requesting Louisville pay $3,490, which would cover the cost of the needs assessment, and additional survey research. The allocation is calculated based on population. Frank Alexander, Boulder County Housing Authority, reviewed the County Consortium of Cities/Boulder County Civic Forum Housing needs assessment funding request. He stressed the importance of each municipality approving the needs assessment. MOTION: Council member Brown moved for approval of the 2004 funding request of $3,490 for Louisville's pro rata share of the Boulder County Consortium of Cities/ Boulder County Civic Forum Regional Affordable Housing Initiative, seconded by Council member Marsella. Roll call vote was taken. The motion carried by a vote of 5-0. Council member Van Pelt and Clabots were absent.
