COUNCIL COMMUNICATION TO: MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL FROM: WILLIAM A. SIMMONS CITY MANAGER DATE: January 27, 2004 SUBJECT: Louisville Housing Authority — Discussion/Direction ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT: City Manager's Office SUMMARY: Louisville Housing Authority (LHA) Commissioners will be attending the study session on January 27 to meet with City Council. Commissioners include the Chair, Brahma Sharma, Cheryl Craig, Greg Harper, Ron Ahlstrom, John Pohlabel, and the newest member, Judy Cordova. They will be discussing the following items: • Development of the South Boulder Rd. Property — LHA currently has a number of concerns with the site including detention, drainage, ingress /egress, utility locates and overall cost of the project. Due to the potential site development issues the cost per unit is relatively high. As a result, there was discussion at the last LHA Board meeting regarding the possibility of increasing the number of units from four to six on the site. Presently, Resolution No. 4, Series 2003 approves an agreement transferring the property to LHA for development of an Authority -owned and operated affordable housing project to consist of not more than four dwelling units. The LHA Board is seeking direction as to whether additional units may be added to the site. Please find attached a memo describing in more detail the issues surrounding the site along with some preliminary sketch designs of a possible 6 -unit facility. • LHA Operations — The Board would like an opportunity to discuss current actions at the Boulder County Housing Authority (BCHA) as well as LHA's contractual relationship with BCHA.
